Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 178 A Cautious Start

Yuan Bao pushed Ni Xiaopang away, without looking at Ni Xiaopang's miserable eyes, and walked to the outer couch with the silk quilt in his arms, and then said viciously, "Remember the oath you made, this time If we go back, we will owe nothing to each other!"

"Don't..." Ni Xiaopang propped himself up on the bed, "I owe you!"

Yuan Bao knew that there was no way to explain this clearly to Ni Xiaopang, so she simply stopped talking. Before falling asleep, she unconsciously recalled the story about Mr. Ze that the mother told them, thinking, it’s really nothing. No matter how fierce the competition is, it is a matter between the young masters. She is a little maid, and has nothing to do with that position at all!

On the contrary, as long as she seizes this opportunity and performs well, she may be able to catch the eyes of the master. Ni Xiaopang is right, Yuan Bao is indeed attracted to Mr. Ze, but this time Yuan Bao is not interested in him Wealth, but want to borrow his power.

"No matter what, protect yourself first!" Yuan Bao warned himself secretly, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

I don't know if it was the comfort they gave to each other, or the fatigue caused by the long-day journey, Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang both slept soundly that night.

When they got up early in the morning, they packed up according to their usual habits, and planned to go out to find something to eat. The two children who are very independent in their lives did not feel that it was so embarrassing for them not to be servants. freedom of.

But as soon as they opened the door, they were taken aback. They saw a lot of people standing outside their door. The two of them held their nerves and looked at each other, recalling whether they had said anything too much this morning. Then, when I thought about it, they just studied the clothes they should wear and the recipes for breakfast, so I felt relieved.

"I've seen Young Master Junfei. The slaves are ordered by Master Ze to serve the Young Master." A maid who was about fourteen or five years old spoke first, and it seemed that she should be the leader of the group.

Ni Xiaopang accepted their gift with a nod and a smile, and said politely, "Young Master Lao Ze, don't worry about it."

"I've seen Miss Yuan Bao!" The servant girl greeted Yuan Bao again.

As a servant, Yuan Bao naturally didn't dare to accept her gift, and hurriedly returned the gift, "Yuan Bao is young, has never seen the world and is ignorant, the young master is also a newcomer, and he is not familiar with the place of life, and he will have to rely on you brothers and sisters in the future. You are so troubled, if there is anything you should not ask or say, you must point it out!" Then he smiled and looked at the people in front of him, with a naive and ignorant look.

Yuan Bao's words put the two of them in a very low position, but they were soft and hard, and let these servants bear part of the responsibility for their mistakes. There is no way, they really scared the mother who didn't care yesterday. broken.

Yuan Bao felt that his social skills had been brought to the fore, and Ni Xiaopang also felt that Yuan Bao spoke very well, but who would have thought that the servant girl would block Yuan Bao back with just one sentence, "Yes, the slave will definitely abide by her duty." Neither humble nor overbearing, he didn't promise anything, but picked out the servants in a disguised form, "duty", the meaning of this word is too vague.

Both Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao felt sweaty, they were no opponents at all, and these were just a few servants!
Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the other party, they are also very remarkable. When they encounter a series of accidents in a strange place at a young age, they can calm down and calm down, and they can also grasp the right timing and use various methods to find help for themselves.

There are more than 20 servants who came to welcome Ni Xiaopang this time, including maids, servants, stewards and mother-in-law. Fatty and Yuan Bao didn't think it was a big deal. You must know that when Ni Xiaopang was at his home, there were no fewer than these servants in the yard, and they didn't know that from this moment on, they had already become targets, and they were about to be attacked from time to time. Facing all kinds of dangers from open and dark everywhere.

After having breakfast and packing up their things, the group of them was about to leave. Yuan Bao looked at the two ordinary but high-quality carriages parked in front of the inn, stretched out his hand to touch the obvious signs on them, and sighed, "It's so beautiful!"

The maid at the side understood, and replied softly, "This is the mark of our Marquis Mansion, not to mention in Ningnan Mansion, even in the whole country, the mansions next to it are not available." There was no intention of showing off, just a statement of seeking truth from facts.

Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao smiled at them with satisfaction, then got into the car and left.

The whole Fucheng is roughly in the shape of "Hui". The part inside the small mouth is the inner city, and the part between the big mouth and the small mouth is the outer city. The area of ​​the city is fully five times the size of the inner city. Of course, even this is still not enough to keep up with the increase in population, and many people still live outside the city and the suburbs.

The city was crowded with people, and the carriages couldn't move fast. Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang lived in an inn in the outer city, and it was quite a long distance to the inner city where the Ni Mansion was located.

Ni Xiaopang lifted the curtain of the car to look outside, and said in a low voice, "I really want to have a good time in this city!"

Immediately, a young servant interjected, "Back to the young master, I grew up in this prefecture since I was a child, and I still know a few places. If the young master wants to go out someday, I will definitely do my best."

"Okay!" Ni Xiaopang nodded with satisfaction, while smiling at Yuan Bao, even though they didn't know anyone in Fucheng and had no influence to rely on, but they were quite happy to hear that they could go out of the house at will.

At the gate of the corner gate of the Ni Mansion, a man in charge was waiting for them, "I have seen Master Junfei." He stepped forward to salute, his perfect manners and faint arrogance perfectly blended in him, two aspects All of them were handled just right, which made Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang amazed.

"The old lady has explained that the weather is hot, and the young master has worked hard all the way, so there is no need to go to see him specially. Go back to the yard to rest first, and wait for the other young masters to arrive, and we can meet together. If there is anything you need, you can order it yourself. Treat it as your own home." The steward explained it very clearly, with a kind of accommodating gentleness.

Ni Xiaopang hurriedly thanked him.

After the manager left, Yuan Bao patted his chest exaggeratedly and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, we are not too late."

The leading servant girl chuckled, "Our young master, it's not too late, but it's not too early either. There are 56 young masters in total. If I remember correctly, there are 43 young masters this morning."

Yuan Bao gulped down his saliva, as if he was taken aback by fright, "Master 56?!" Then he covered his mouth lightly.

Although there are elements of exaggeration in it, Yuan Bao really didn't expect that there would be so many competitors. Later, when he thought about Mr. Ze's power, status, wealth, and the fact that these young masters came from the two big families of Ni and Yu, he was also in his heart. No wonder.

Ni Xiaopang's courtyard is naturally in the outer courtyard of the Ni Mansion, and it is a relatively remote part of the outer courtyard. This area is set aside separately for the use of these "alternate" young masters.

The small courtyard with three entrances is simple, comfortable and well-equipped with all five internal organs. The furnishings in the house do not look luxurious on the surface. If you look closely, you will find that they are all high-quality goods, not at all inferior to Ni Xiaopang's Youran Pavilion, but Youran Pavilion is Qing'an. The Ni family specially built it for the heir, and this is just the most common courtyard for hospitality, so the comparison between the two Ni mansions is obvious.

Not to mention, the personal servant girl followed the two into the inner room, and opened the cabinet, only to see that the cabinet was full of four seasons clothes, not only men's clothes but also women's clothes, obviously even Yuanbao was prepared, I don't know Is it because the Ni Mansion is so kind to all the servants brought by the young masters, or is it that the Ni Mansion already knows that Yuan Bao is not a servant.

"This...how is this so embarrassing? I'm just a servant." Yuan Bao declined politely, but she didn't get the answer she wanted—the servant of Ni's mansion didn't answer.

After washing and changing clothes, Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao came to the main hall. After recognizing the servants in their own yard, they thanked and encouraged them, and then distributed the meeting gifts. It is based on the standard of five times the reward given by the Ni family in Qing'an on weekdays.

Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang would not be so stupid as to think that they could buy off the servants of the Ni Mansion by spending a lot of money. Besides, they had nothing to do by buying others. They had already made up their minds to be obedient and obedient Shun, I don't want to be outstanding, but I want to leave safely without making mistakes.

And the value of five times is the consumption gap between the two places estimated by Yuanbao through the price of Fucheng, which should be very accurate.

Then it was almost time for lunch, the maid asked very caringly, "What would the young master want to eat?"

Ni Xiaopang took a look at Yuan Bao. Yuan Bao felt that it was useless to put on a show at this time. When she met the servant just now, she was sitting with Ni Xiaopang. "There are meat and vegetables, soup and rice, without spicy." This requirement can be described as simple, clear and relaxed.

The servant girl quickly agreed, and within a short while, the meal was served. It was not too rich, but it was as delicate as the furnishings of the room. The two had a great time eating.

After dinner, the two of them were taking a walk under the shade of a tree in the yard to digest food, when a servant came to report: Mr. Ze wanted to see them.

Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang didn't think there was anything special about it. After washing and changing their clothes, they followed the servants.

There are two bamboo sedan chairs made of fine bamboo, with a wide and thick ceiling that provides shade, and the seats are equally large and comfortable, and adults can sleep halfway in them. Feeling stuffy, coupled with the ice basin under the seat and the breeze brought by walking, let alone how comfortable it is.

Both Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao sighed silently in their hearts, the life of the rich is really different!

How big is Ni Mansion?After a long time, Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao didn't understand this question.
