1601, this long-cherished wish seventeen
Ning Dai thought about how Yuan'er was always around her, and there would be many places where she would be needed in the future, so she didn't hide it and answered her: "Demolish the house."
"Ah?" Yuan'er heard it but it was as if she hadn't heard it because she didn't understand.
However, Ning Dai did not intend to explain to her any more and said again: "You can go back to the Marquis Mansion for me and negotiate with the Crown Prince."
Yuan'er: "...ah."
"Let me think about what you want to say." Ning Dai held her chin and thought for a few seconds.
"Forget it, it's no use talking too much, just repeat what I said." Ning Dai motioned Yuan'er to remember it: "Just tell him, if he really doesn't want to lend me people, then I can only go out and recruit people myself.
Well, to be honest, I feel safe recruiting people myself. I will pay for it, and I will let my people go wherever they go. However, I can’t control what outsiders will say about the Wang Mansion and the Hou Mansion.
Too much, after all, there is something wrong with me."
"..." If you are so demanding, do you really want to go back and repeat it?
Yuan'er shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, miss, Yuan'er can't."
Ning Dai glanced at her: "Why not?"
"Miss, please don't embarrass Yuan'er. If I really go back and tell the prince like this, the prince will definitely punish Yuan'er." Thinking of the possible outcome, Yuan'er panicked.
"He dares!" Ning Dai comforted Yuan'er: "You are mine. To put it another way, you have come to this house with me now, how can he go over here and punish you? The two countries are at war.
The envoy from Buza knows, right? You are now assuming the role of the envoy, so don’t be afraid."
"..."
Yuan'er said she didn't understand, but she was still scared and panicked.
But Ning Dai was not ready to keep her to continue her ink-writing. She yelled at her to stop dawdling and hurry up. The boss still hesitated to do the things she asked her to do. She still asked whether she wanted a salary or a promotion. It was polite to wear small shoes. You were welcome.
Get up and let you pack up and leave.
Of course, after the attack was over, Ning Dai didn't forget to stuff her with a candy: "Good boy, go and come back quickly. I'll have dinner when you come back."
Yuan'er: "..."
Under Ning Dai's urging, Yuan'er still set foot on the road back to the Marquis Mansion.
Two hours later, he returned to the palace just before the dinner time specified by Ning Dai and reported back to Ning Dai.
"Miss, the prince agrees!"
Before this trip, Yuan'er had a distressed look on her face, as if she was about to go to the execution ground, but when she came back, she looked happy and smiling.
She finally lived up to Ning Dai's fate, and this time she brought back the answer Ning Dai wanted.
"The prince has agreed to temporarily lend his bodyguard to the lady!"
Yuan'er was overjoyed, but Ning Dai, the proposer, seemed very calm, as if she had expected this result.
After Yuan'er's joy, she asked: "Has he said how many people he plans to borrow? Also, when will they come?"
Fortunately, Yuan'er already had an answer to this point, and now her answer is not false.
"The Crown Prince said that people will arrive early tomorrow morning. According to the Crown Prince, four people will be transferred."
"Four people?" Ning Dai frowned: "A little less."
Isn’t this enough?
From Yuan'er's point of view, four people were really a lot. She originally thought that the prince would allocate at most two people to Ning Dai, but she didn't expect that he would give two more people.
Ning Dai was still talking a bit, and then suddenly looked up at Yuan'er: "You..."
Yuan'er started to panic again.
Fortunately, Ning Dai quickly gave up the idea, waved her hand and said: "Forget it, you don't need to go back to deliver the message. It's the same as asking someone else to send the message back."
Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Deciding to send a message, Ning Dai didn't waste any time and immediately called Yuan'er to prepare.
The content of the message she sent back was also simple. She only wrote three sentences: Four is too few, six is fine, and eight is just right.
After finishing writing and identifying the recipient of the letter, Ning Dai asked Yuan'er to hand it over to someone else to deliver the letter.
While writing the letter, Ning Dai couldn't help but think of the sick Xi Shi, and she didn't know if he had recovered from his collapse at noon.
If it gets better, forget it. If it doesn't, then she should go and visit.
After making a plan, not long after, the old steward appeared again, and this time he really came to ask Ningdai where her dinner arrangements were.
The old steward gave Ning Dai the same options as at noon, asking her if she wanted to go to the dining room to eat or to put it in her own yard. Ning Dai's answer was the same as at noon, but after the answer, she asked
Xi Shi became ill.
Hearing that Ning Dai cared about the sick Xi Shi, the old steward felt a little relieved with his old face.
"Reply to...your words." The old steward was still thinking about Ningdai's request for him to change his title. At this moment, he didn't want to provoke Ningdai to bring up the old matter again, so he was deliberately vague and looked down on it.
After seeing that Ning Dai had no other reaction, he continued: "Your Majesty has woken up, but his body is still weak, and he has not come out to use the dinner. I have cooked porridge in the small kitchen and will send it to the Prince's courtyard later."
Ning Dai said "Oh": "Then he is too pitiful. He is not in good health and can only eat porridge. I will go and see him later."
"Yes." The old steward thought Ning Dai's suggestion was very good.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Ning Dai said.
The old steward bowed and listened attentively.
Ning Dai said: "Do you have a ready-made list of servants and servants in the house?"
The old steward nodded hurriedly and said yes, and then said: "It was my negligence. The roster should have been handed over to you..."
Ning Dai smiled slightly and stopped blaming him according to his words. She just said: "Then you can have someone bring it to me later."
The old steward responded repeatedly, promising that someone would send it to him in a moment.
Ning Dai was satisfied, but she had something to say the next second.
"Also, let's gather everyone together at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm going to hold a staff meeting. Is there a place in the house that can accommodate everyone?"
Old steward:???
Seeing the completely stupid look on the old steward's face, Ning Dai reflected for a moment and said again: "Tomorrow at midnight, oh, no, let's go early. Let everyone arrive half an hour in advance. I have something to explain.
.”
Now the old steward understood, and while responding, he also wanted to ask Ning Dai what was going on.
But Ning Dai refused to say anything, and only told the old steward to notify everyone, and no one would be missing tomorrow morning.
Unable to find out why, the old steward could only follow orders and go down to do things.
Not long after the old steward returned, Ningdai was given the list of people in the mansion she requested. Before finishing the meal, Ningdai was able to read several pages.
Yuan'er didn't know what Ning Dai was planning, but when she saw that she carefully looked through the list of everyone in the house, and thought she was seriously devoted to her new identity, she was relieved and happy at the same time.
Chapter completed!
