Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 177 The Legendary Master Ze

The leader of the guards who accompanied them told them that when they got up for a while, there would be a mother in charge specially hired by Qing'an Ni's family who spent a lot of money to teach them some rules, so as not to make mistakes after entering the Ni's house tomorrow.

After arriving in Fucheng, they no longer dared to say that they were from the Ni Mansion. They could only say that they were from the Ni family in Qing'an County without confidence. It's nothing more than a small flame of Yue Zhenghui!
The words "spending a lot of money to hire" were emphasized by the leader of the guards. In addition, he repeatedly urged that there must be enough respect for the mother in charge, and she must not be offended.

Both Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang responded timidly, and they understood this truth.

But when the mother in charge opened her mouth and said that they were here to represent the Ni family in Qing'an County and compete for the position of the heir of Lord Hou, they still lost their composure!

"Adoption? Both my parents are here, how can there be any reason to adopt my own son to others?!" Even Ni Xiaopang, who has always been a gentle and generous person, couldn't help jumping up when he heard such news, "I'm not going! "

The mother in charge didn't take the young master Ni Xiaopang seriously at all, and first scolded, "Bold? You're so unruly, you won't survive even a day in Ni's mansion!" Then she sneered and took out a letter The letter was stuffed into Ni Xiaopang's hand, "Do you think I'm joking with you here?!"

The content of the letter is very brief, saying that from the moment Ni Xiaopang left the Ni family in Qing'an County this time, he no longer enjoys any treatment from the Ni family children, and if he fails this time, he doesn't have to Back to Ni's house, this should be a disguised expulsion.

Compared with the text of the letter, the inscription can be called mighty. Ni Bancheng’s name begins, followed by Ni Xiaopang’s uncle, uncle, father, brothers, and finally Ni Xiaopang’s aunt. That is to say, the above The content is the unanimous decision of the whole family.

Ni Xiaopang looked at the letter in his hand, unconsciously his hands trembled slightly, and his heart trembled together, tears flowed quietly all over his face.

The Ni family in Qing'an now has seven young masters, and the sixth young master is the third uncle's legitimate son, so he dare not feel any comparison, but the seventh young master is obviously only the eldest uncle's son, and he is only one year old, so he is very suitable for adoption , but the whole family chose him!

He felt that he had worked very hard, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being abandoned. He was merciless and unable to fight for it. Ni Xiaopang's heart sank into the dark and lonely abyss like this, and it was extremely cold.

In fact, this time, Ni Xiaopang wrongly blamed the Ni family in Qing'an. He was selected because the main family specifically named him, and only Ni Xiaopang came forward to use Yuanbao, the "secret weapon" of the Ni family, to make Ni If the odds are higher, how can they find other candidates? !
To be honest, the elder of the Ni family in Qing'an still very much hoped to adopt his son, but it's a pity that he didn't have this chance!
Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang sat side by side. When Ni Xiaopang opened the letter, he turned sideways in front of Yuan Bao, just because he didn't want to carry Yuan Bao on his back, and hoped that Yuan Bao could give him an idea, so Yuan Bao could see the content of the letter very clearly. .

"Little Fatty, it's okay. No matter what, I'll be with you. If it's really not possible, we'll go back to the countryside to farm!"

Yuan Bao hugged Ni Xiaopang's arm, comforting him softly, her voice was not loud, but she was very firm. Most of her money was obtained because of Ni Xiaopang. Not only could she afford Ni Xiaopang, but she was also willing to support him. And after getting along for such a long time, Yuan Bao knows that Ni Xiaopang is not a person who has high demands on life.

Yuan Bao also knew that besides presents, the Ni family brought Ni Xiaopang 1 taels of "community" expenses when they went out this time. Yinzi, Ni Xiaopang may not necessarily need her to support him.

"Well," Yuan Bao's words cheered up Ni Xiaopang, he wiped the tears from his face and said, "Thank you, Yuan Bao!" It seemed that Yuan Bao was by his side every time he was cornered, not to mention those The reality helped, and it was this emotional sustenance that also gave him great strength.

"Huh!" The mother-in-law's cold snort interrupted the affectionate interaction between the two, "Things without eyesight, when you see the splendor and wealth, even if you are killed, you will not be willing to go back to the countryside to farm Go!" He waved his hand impatiently, "I really don't know why the Ni family chose such a useless child like you, forget it, I'm still busy here, so I'll finish what I have to say to you , and the future has nothing to do with me!"

The two children hurriedly listened quietly, holding their breath. They knew that no matter what decision they made in the end, what the mother in charge said was very important to them, because they really knew too little about this matter.

If someone asks which is the largest family in Ningnan Mansion, it will often lead to disputes. Some people will say that it is the Ni Mansion, while others will say that it is the Yu Mansion.

The Ni family has a history of more than 200 years, which is almost as long as the history of the southern Ningfu city, far exceeding the time when the dynasty was established.

The Ni family is a well-known scholarly family in Ningnan Prefecture. There have been children of officials in all dynasties. Although the most powerful one has become a prime minister, because it happened in the previous dynasty and it took too long, so Few people have mentioned it, but the ones who are often talked about are the deceased old man of the Ni mansion and the current second master of the Ni mansion.

The old man of the Ni Mansion once worshiped as the third-rank Minister of Rites, the highest official rank among the children of the Ni Mansion in this dynasty. Even his wife is not ordinary. Compared with ordinary ladies from official families, she is higher in origin.

Perhaps because of these reasons, after returning to Ningnan Mansion, the old man of the Ni Mansion set up another clan quickly and separated from the original head of the Ni family, and no one dared to stop him. Branches and clans of the main family came to seek refuge one after another, even the previous main family. Therefore, the current Ni Mansion has suddenly become the main family with the "Ni" surname in the entire Ningnan Mansion.

As for the second master of the Ni Mansion, he is the master of the Ningnan Mansion, and with the foundation of the Ni Mansion in Ningnan, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can overwhelm the sky with one hand. Don't think that this official position is only a fourth grade, but the Ningnan Mansion has always been rich. Being the magistrate here is a real vacancy, and the second master of the Ni residence is in good health and in his prime, too many people know that he has a bright future in his official career.

In contrast, the Yu Mansion, which can compete with the Ni Mansion, is not enough to see its foundation. The Yu Mansion was born as a merchant, and although there are many families, there are not many promising ones, and the family history is not as good as Ni's. The government has a long history.

But Yu's family can climb to a higher position than Ni's house, but they have their own advantages. All this is because their family has a concubine, and it is not an ordinary concubine.

In the era of the first emperor, without a queen, this imperial concubine ranked first among the four imperial concubines. Although she herself did not give birth to any heirs, because the former emperor loved her too much, he adopted the youngest prince under her name. Next, and this adopted prince is the current emperor.

That's why even in Qing'an County, some people say, "It's a pity that the concubine has passed away, otherwise there would be no such thing as the current empress dowager." Such gossip.

The current empress dowager is the biological mother of the current emperor. In the early years, her rank among the former emperor's concubines was extremely low. Because she and the concubine of the Yu family were in love with each other, the concubine of the Yu family adopted her son and did not marry her. Help the current emperor get the dragon chair, with the empress dowager and the emperor today's glory, wealth and power in their hands.

Because of this relationship, after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he took great care of Yu's family, and he always regarded Yu's family as his mother's family. Yu Mansion has reached the point where it can stand shoulder to shoulder with Ni Mansion today.

If there is still disagreement on the ranking of the No. [-] family in Ningnan Prefecture, then when it comes to the No. [-] son of Ningnan Prefecture, the answer is definitely unanimous. His name is: Ni Yuze. Whenever people mention him According to his habit, he will be honored as "Mr. Ze".

It has been a few years since I came to this time and space, and I learned a lot of rules in Qing'an Ni's house, so Yuan Bao knew in his heart that not everyone can use the title "Mr. "Son of the prince", and later specifically referred to as "the son of the prince". Although it is sometimes used as a respectful title, it is far from reaching the point where Yuan Bao can be called a flood in the film and television works watched by later generations.

For this reason, Yuan Bao also paid special attention to the standard of the title "Mr. Gongzi": if the ancestors of the last three generations have not been conferred titles, then they should not be called "Mr. If they still call you that, you should humbly refuse when you first meet. As for whether they still call you that in the future, it’s up to the other person. Anyway, as long as your ancestors have such a background, they don’t count. Sorry!

But in today's imperial court, the first emperor was the founding emperor, and the throne is only passed down to the second generation, so there are not many people, including Ni Yuze, who can get this title by relying on the shadow of their ancestors.

One must know that titles and official titles are different. The ancestors of the Ni family, let alone counting down to three generations, did not obtain titles even if there were a few more generations—they were not of noble origin.

From this point of view, the only one who can get the title of "Master" in the Ni Mansion is actually Mrs. Ni, she is the "Master" of the Yongguo Mansion.

So how did Ni Yuze come to be called the young master?This has to start with Ni Yuze's somewhat complicated life experience.

Ni Yuze, his grandfather is Mrs. Ni of the Ni Mansion, his father is the eldest son of Mr. Ni, and his mother is the eldest daughter of Mr. Yu's family. What needs to be mentioned is that all three of the above are deceased, and Ni Yuze has no brothers. Sister, he is the only seedling of the head of the Ni Mansion, and the overlord of Ningnan Mansion Futai is his own uncle.

If the status given to him by Ni Yuze's father's family is not prominent enough, then the power he inherited from his mother's family can be called astonishing.

Ni Yuze's maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, uncle, and aunt have all passed away, so he is not only the only seedling of the eldest family of the Ni Mansion, but also the only heir of the head of the Yu Mansion. The surname "Ni" is counted as a descendant of the Ni Mansion, while the second son must be surnamed "Yu" to inherit everything from the head of the Yu Mansion.

And his aunt is the aforementioned imperial concubine who made Yu's mansion skyrocket, and the current emperor's aunt. From this relationship point of view, Ni Yuze is actually the emperor's cousin, a real relative of the emperor. !
Even the name "Ni Yuze" has an extraordinary origin. It was bestowed by the late emperor himself, which means that all the favors given to the imperial concubine Yu will be given to Ni Yuze.

Because of this background, when Ni Yuze was five years old, he was named "Marquis Yu Ze" and added a general's idle position. Yuan Bao didn't hear it clearly. Anyway, after so many years, although Ni Yuze's title has not changed, but he His idle position has reached the second-rank "Hussar General", the highest-ranking official in the entire Ningnan Prefecture.

"Mr. Ze, I don't like other people calling him Lord Marquis." The mother-in-law glanced at the two children in front of her lightly, "So you have to keep this in mind. For the rest, just follow your usual rules." Already." After speaking, he stood up and left.

"Hey——" Ni Xiaopang stretched out his arm behind the mother in charge, as if to stop her footsteps, but was stopped by Yuan Bao, and shook his head lightly at him.

Yes, apart from what this mother could inquire about as soon as she went out, she didn't say anything useful about the origins and identities of Ni Mansion, Yu Mansion and this Mr. Ze!

However, since people don't want to talk about it, can they ask it?
Ni Xiaopang just lowered his head and sighed, and the leader of the guards of the Ni family in Qingan who sent them came in again, "Master, everything has been settled, we are going back, tomorrow morning, there will be Ni The mansion's carriage and servants came to pick up the young master into the mansion!"

"Ah? So fast?!" Not only Ni Xiaopang, but even Yuan Bao were taken aback. They should at least watch Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang enter the house safely, right? !
The guard nodded, "Yes, that's what the old master told me when he came here. Several masters and young masters were also there at the time. Also, the old master asked the young one to give a message to the fifth young master. If the young master escapes like this, then the other He can't control the place, but the young master of Qing'an County can't wait!"

Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao gasped, ruthless, really ruthless!They didn't even leave a way back.

Looking at the backs of the people going away in Qing'an under the setting sun, Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao suddenly felt that the bustling Fucheng had become a little scary, like a monster that could swallow them all in one bite. This problem cannot be solved with money. .

Yuan Bao asked Ni Xiaopang in a low voice, "Guess, how much property does Mr. Ze have besides the title?" They came to fight for the position of Ni Yuze's heir, so besides power, they can inherit property as well.

"A lot!" Ni Xiaopang replied immediately, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Yuan Bao, "You want it?" He remembered Yuan Bao's nature as a money fan.

Yuan Bao knew what Ni Xiaopang was thinking, so he rolled his eyes at him first, and then asked without answering, "Tell me, why didn't they tell us about such a good thing in advance, and were afraid that we would run back?" However, the process of this competition is very dangerous, or there is an ulterior motive. The Ni family in Qing'an County does not want them to know, but they just use all means to force them to rush forward.

"Why do I feel that we are like two blindfolded donkeys?" Yuan Bao mumbled, although her metaphor was very vulgar, it was quite appropriate.

Ni Xiaopang didn't smile at all, he immediately grabbed Yuan Bao's hand, "Come on, let's go to the escort agency..."

Yuan Bao hid back, "Why are you looking for an escort agency? Where are you going?" Her voice was extremely low, "Tell me, I'll help you think about it." She thought that Ni Xiaopang was about to escape.

"Send you back! I'll stay! They only said that they can only bring one servant with them when they enter the mansion, but they didn't say that they can't take another servant. If I had known this, I shouldn't have brought you here!" Ni Xiaopang's voice It's not low, and he said it very firmly. His purpose of bringing Yuan Bao out at the beginning was nothing more than to find opportunities to get in touch with Yuan Bao more, and to make Yuan Bao happy by the way.

It would be a lie to say that he was not touched at all. Yuan Bao blinked, forcing back the tears that had reached his eyes, "Do you think I can go back? If I leave you alone, the old man can still let me Live peacefully in Qing'an County? If I just escape like this, let alone my family property, is it a member of the Su family, can I still have one?" She understood, even if Ni Xiaopang didn't say that he would bring her here Or if she doesn't agree to come, the Qing'an Ni family also has a lot of ways to force her to submit.

She can only move forward, but cannot retreat. She is in the same situation as Ni Xiaopang. Perhaps she is more dangerous than Ni Xiaopang. After all, she does not believe that after Ni Xiaopang's defeat, the Ni family can poison her descendants. It's just that they don't give resources, so I'm afraid they won't be so kind to her.

"Hey!" Ni Xiaopang punched himself on the head heavily, "Why am I so stupid? Why didn't I even know that I was betrayed, and dragged you into the water!" Crouching on the ground wanting to cry without tears.

Yuan Bao also squatted down, patted Ni Xiaopang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the situation is not that bad yet, so let's study it first and see if there is any way to get out of the body."

Ni Xiaopang became quiet.

This night, the two lived in the same room, and only in this way could their hearts be at ease, although they didn't discuss a good way-they still had too little information.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time." It was already late at night, Yuan Bao simply smashed the jar and got into the quilt, "I always feel that there is no unparalleled road, so take a good rest tonight, and everything will wait until tomorrow." Let's talk about it!"

"Yuanbao," Ni Xiaopang turned over and hugged Yuanbao, and sighed sincerely, "It's good to have you!" Now that things have happened, he feels that there is nothing to be afraid of, at least Yuanbao is still by his side.
