Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 206 Plan Completed

In the next few days, Xin Baoer closed the door and stopped receiving anyone, hiding in her study to write and paint.

The maids and old women in the courtyard all knew that she had important things to do, so they tried to keep their voices low for fear of disturbing her.

Xin Baoer has not had a good time these days. The world she lived in in her previous life was an era of information explosion. There were no secrets in that era. Within a week of the emergence of any business model, there would be a group of people who would analyze and disassemble it word by word, striving to make anyone with a brain understand the key.

Although Xin Baoer had not been exposed to those things at that time, there was no relevant information on mobile phones and TVs. You didn't have to actively search for it, you could just open it and see it.

The more she listened and the more she read, the more information automatically entered her head, and she was a top student with a good memory.

But then again, no matter how strong your learning ability is or how good your memory is, it is passive learning after all, and what exists in your head are just scattered fragments, and many of them cannot be connected.

It took Xin Baoer a whole week just to search for these clips and record the useful ones.

Looking at the pile of papers filled with writing, Xin Baoer felt like crying but had no tears. She had to sort out all the information she had pieced together and come up with an effective plan that would suit the current social situation and could be implemented smoothly.

Another whole week passed. Xin Baoer's hair fell out in clumps. Her originally small face became thinner, making her eyes look even bigger. There was a dark shadow under her eyes, which looked a bit creepy from a distance.

"Girl, you've worked too hard. You've become so thin that you look unrecognizable. If the master and his mistress saw this, they would be so heartbroken." Lancao put down the tonic soup in her hand and said with concern.

Xin Baoer was leaning on the desk and writing furiously. Her clothes were baggy, making her look like a child who had stolen adult clothes. This was because she didn't go out, otherwise if the wind was strong enough, she would be blown away.

After Xin Baoer finished writing the last word, she rubbed her sore wrist, walked out of the desk in good spirits, took the bowl of soup with a smile and drank it all.

After wiping his mouth, he said tiredly, "It's not that exaggerated. I just stayed up late for a few nights and lost a few pounds. After I'm done with this, I'll have a good sleep for a few days and eat a few meals and I'll be back."

"I don't know what the Second Master has been busy with these days. He hasn't been here for a long time. And you still expect him to take care of you. It shows that most men are unreliable."

Lancao put away the soup bowl and brought in a basin of warm water. She squatted in front of Xin Baoer, took her hand, and gently pressed it into the water, complaining mercilessly.

The warm water made her sore wrists feel numb, and Xin Baoer sighed in comfort.

"Well, you really dare to say anything. You are becoming more and more unruly. You are not afraid of the walls having ears. You should know that in this deep courtyard, disasters often come from the mouth. Now our environment is different. We must learn to talk less and watch more, and act low-key."

Xin Baoer closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of rest. She casually taught Lancao, not too strict. It sounded more like an older sister's instructions to her younger sister.

Lancao pouted, somewhat unconvinced, but she always listened to Xin Baoer and responded softly. Feeling that the water temperature was not so hot anymore, she took a towel and wiped Xin Baoer's hands.

He scooped a large amount of hand cream, carefully applied it on Xin Baoer's hands, and then massaged them gently.

"Your massage skills are getting better and better. What should I do with your daughter if you are not around to serve me in the future?"

Xin Baoer felt comfortable being rubbed. She looked more relaxed and a little drowsy, talking unconsciously.

"How can you live without me, young lady? From now on, no matter where you go, I will follow you. I will ask Miss Chu to learn more massage techniques, and I will serve you comfortably."

Lancao felt happy when she was praised, and her mouth became sweeter.

However, what answered her was the sound of her own girl's even breathing.

Lancao sighed, took a blanket from the bed and covered her with it, then quietly packed up her things and left.

Xin Baoer only slept for a quarter of an hour before she woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and finally allowed herself to lie down for another quarter of an hour before getting up.

After nearly half a month of repeated deliberation, the first draft of the proposal for Northland construction was finally completed. The next step is to make more detailed improvements and check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

Before we knew it, it was almost October and Xin Baoer's birthday was in two days. Everyone in Cuiping Garden was busy preparing for their mistress's seventeenth birthday. Only the birthday girl herself was unaware and had apparently forgotten the day.

However, the master himself did not care, but the servants took it very seriously. When in Shengjing, Xin Baoer's birthday was celebrated very casually. She would just eat a bowl of longevity noodles and a big meal.

Those subordinates, shopkeepers and guards outside wanted to celebrate her birthday, but they never had the chance. This year is different. This year they are free, so naturally they want to call their friends and have fun together.

Two days later, Xin Baoer finally perfected the plan. She stretched herself, squinted her eyes, walked out of the room, and then was frightened by the scene in front of her.

"Lancao, Lianrong, Xian'er, can someone come out and tell me who is going to have a wedding in my yard?"

As soon as the long-lost voice appeared in the yard, everyone in the yard came out from everywhere, looking at her with heartache, concern, or curiosity.

Wei Yu had just come back from outside and saw people standing in the yard. Following their line of sight, he saw Xin Baoer's thin figure.

"Bao'er, I've been away for only a month. Have you not left the house for a month? Your face is as pale as a ghost." He tapped his feet lightly and landed beside Xin Bao'er, asking with a frown.

"I was busy with something and didn't have time to pay attention. How is it over there? Have you brought everyone back?" Xin Baoer smiled ingratiatingly and changed the subject.

"Stop changing the subject. Are you sick, Lancao, Zhao Xian? You're just looking at her like this. Have you seen a doctor?"

Lancao and Zhao Xian expressed their grievances in response to Wei Yu's questioning. Xin Baoer quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Don't blame them. It's just a difficult matter. Now that we're done, we must be obedient, exercise well, eat well, and come back after we recover."

Seeing that Wei Yu wanted to say something, Xin Baoer quickly pulled Mother Lin over and said, "Mom, Ayu has been running around outside for so long, please take her to wash up and have a good rest."

Then he pushed Wei Yu and said, "Go quickly. Get some rest first. Your eyes are all dark blue. You must not have gotten enough rest in the past month."

Wei Yu was helpless and indeed very tired. The group of little girls had encountered tough guys when they went out for training, so she had to lead people to support them. She also secretly helped Chu Xingchen's men to eliminate several bandit dens, so it was too late to rush back.

She also learned that Zhao Xian and others were planning to hold a birthday party for Xin Baoer, so she rushed all the way to avoid missing it.

After looking at the layout of the courtyard, she finally compromised. She had to have a good rest so that she could be in good condition tomorrow to attend her birthday party and not embarrass her.

Wei Yu left. Before Xin Baoer had the chance to continue asking about the situation in the courtyard, she was pushed by several little girls to try on clothes, jewelry and shoes.

After trying everything, I was served a sumptuous dinner, then took a fragrant, hot bath, and then was tucked into the quilt comfortably and drowsily, and soon fell asleep.

I was so asleep that I completely forgot the questions I wanted to ask before, and was fooled by a few naughty little girls.

A month later, Xin Baoer finally finished the plan. She had no worries in her heart and slept soundly. She slept until dawn without any dreams and did not even turn over. It was a pity how tired she was before.

When the sky was bright, Xin Baoer slowly opened her eyes and moved her body slightly. She felt extremely stiff. Finally, she called Lancao to massage her for a while before she relaxed.

"Girl, get up quickly, or your face will get clumpy." Lancao put a new dress on her and said mischievously, blinking her eyes.

"Do I have to eat noodles in the morning? But I want to drink porridge." Xin Baoer smacked her lips.

"I said the girl didn't remember today's date." Lianrong came in to bring water and said proudly when she heard this.
