Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 179

Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang looked at the endless courtyards and pavilions along the way. At first, they counted and memorized them, but then they lost count. There are scenes.

They also found that the bearers who carried the sedan chair along the way had never been replaced by women, which meant that the places they passed by were all the outer courtyards of the Ni Mansion, and they should only be part of the outer courtyards of the Ni Mansion.

The so-called Zhongming Dingshi's House and Grandma Liu's feeling when she entered the Grand View Garden, I am afraid there is nothing more than this, Yuan Bao secretly said in his heart.

After entering through the door I don't know which door, after walking for a full quarter of an hour, the sedan chair finally stopped.

Under the guidance of the servants, they entered a spacious main hall, and after entering the door, the first thing that caught Yuan Bao's attention was a large screen standing in the middle of the main hall.

It is the largest overall screen that Yuanbao has seen after arriving in this time and space. It is about four meters long and about two meters high, and it is a low seat without a folding fan.

There are many kinds of screens, big and small. The small ones can be placed on the table or on the kang. The big ones are basically floor-standing. The patterns of the three-dimensional screens are consistent and related, and some large screens can be folded and stretched like a folding fan, opened when in use, and folded into one when not in use, saving space.

As for the base, the highest base can account for half of the height of the entire screen. Such a screen is easy to take care of. After all, a wooden base is not only easier to clean than a silk screen, but also has a longer service life.

The huge screen in front of Yuanbao, with a base less than [-] centimeters high, is not only difficult to clean, but also difficult to move and store, and is more likely to become old and damaged. It is really extravagant!
But what attracts Yuan Bao is not the high price of this screen, which can be seen at a glance, but its pattern.

With snow-white fine silk as the background, large and gorgeous peonies are competing to bloom, the red ones are like flames like morning glow, the pink ones are like a shy girl's jade neck, the purple ones are like ripe grapes, and the bright yellow stamens are like fresh and tender peonies. Egg yolk, these colors have deep and shallow shadows due to the different angles of sunlight, plus the green leaves and colorful butterflies interspersed with them, as well as the four big characters "national beauty and heavenly fragrance" in the upper right corner, Make the colors richer and more varied.

The high-quality embroidery thread and appropriate gold and silver thread embroider each flower so delicately and radiantly, making people wish to go up and pick a hairpin for their temples!
The composition of this embroidery screen is rigorous, the layout is exquisite, the colors are strong, and the embroidery methods are diverse and unique. However, Yuan Bao couldn't tell what kind of stitches were used. She walked forward involuntarily, wanting to reach out her hand to touch it, or Take a closer look.

At this moment, Ni Xiaopang beside him pulled Yuanbao violently, and then knelt down first, "I have seen Mr. Ze..."

Yuan Bao suddenly came to his senses: where are they?What to do?Although there is no one else in the main hall except them, don't forget that the embroidered screen is placed in the middle, and there may be people behind it.

Yuan Bao quickly regained his composure, and also knelt down half a step behind Ni Xiaopang.However, the two of them only knelt halfway, and a clear voice came from behind the screen, "Forget it, this is at home, there is no need to talk about these empty etiquette."

And it was this voice, like a pot of cold water pouring Yuanbao head-on, which completely freed her from the obsession and shock brought to her by the exquisite artwork.

Next, Mr. Ze, who only heard his voice but could not see him behind the screen, talked about something else leisurely. His speaking speed was extremely slow, but his voice was extremely special, like hard ice beads falling on the ground. On the glass, it was crisp, sweet, and cold. It seemed that every word would shatter after he said it, without leaving a trace.

He clearly greeted Ni Xiaopang for his hard work along the way, and praised Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao for their excellent performance on the empress dowager's birthday last year, but Yuan Bao felt that there was no trace of emotion in it.

It's like, this Mr. Ze lives in a world completely different from them, and he is just a spectator in this world. Even if Mr. Ze tries his best to behave like a part of this world, it still makes people feel kind Feeling out of place.

The calm voice that seemed to float from the clouds struck Yuan Bao's soul one after another, causing her to be in a trance for a moment, and a poem suddenly appeared in her mind, "The wind comes to thin the bamboo, When the wind passes by, the bamboo leaves no sound; when the geese cross the cold lake, when the geese go, the lake does not leave a shadow. When a gentleman comes, his mind begins to appear; when things go, his heart follows the emptiness..."

The breeze is comfortable and light, everyone envies its freedom, and how many people know that its wandering footsteps have nowhere to go, even if it wants to stay, there is nowhere to go. It passes through the forest tops, and the bamboo leaves sing softly because of it. But it can only prove that it has been here before, and it is impossible to pursue it.

Under the quiet moonlight, a lonely wild goose flies over the cold pool, accompanied by only the bleak moonlight, and its lonely reflection cast on the water waves, its graceful wings make no sound, and do not bring A little temperature, the sparkling water can embrace, I am afraid only the memory of it?It comes and goes alone, when and where is the harbor it yearns for?
It wasn't the first time such a picture appeared in Yuan Bao's mind, but it was the first time it was caused by a person's voice.

Yuan Bao seemed to see himself in his previous life, standing in the corner of the school and muttering to himself, "How could it be wrong? Isn't this describing a person who is very lonely? How could it be the virtues that a gentleman should have? Out of this Who the hell is asking the test questions?!"

Such literary and artistic feelings are not suitable for Yuan Bao's small head full of numbers and worldly desires. For a moment, Yuan Bao felt that she seemed to have lost the instinctive skill of calculating accounts. She was so stupid that she couldn't understand Mr. Ze at all. what are you talking about.

"Okay, you guys go down first!" After Ni Yuze said this, he found that the two children standing with their heads bowed across the screen were both dumbfounded and motionless, so he couldn't help but sighed deeply.

Maybe he was too impatient and thought of such a way. Now it seems that being famous is not as good as meeting him. What is the difference between the behavior of these two children and those who saw him for the first time? !What is Yinghui abnormal?It's simply mediocrity!They can't bear the heavy responsibility that he wants them to take on!

Therefore, Ni Yuze gave a slight signal.

"Master, Mr. Ze told us to go back!" A young servant who came with him softly reminded Ni Xiaopang, and couldn't help but gently tugged Ni Xiaopang's sleeve.

"Ah?" Ni Xiaopang was like waking up from a dream, and quickly pulled Yuan Bao who was still dazed beside him, and saluted again, "Then I'll go back first!"

There was a low and inaudible "hmm" from behind the screen, distant and vague, as if it came from another time and space thousands of miles away.

After leaving the door of the main hall, Ni Xiaopang couldn't help shivering, "Oh my God! It's so cold! Mr. Ze is so majestic." It's not that he didn't feel it, but it was completely different from Yuan Bao's feeling. It caused a lot of stress and alienation, which is why I say this.

Ni Xiaopang's exclamation made Yuan Bao startled, and she grabbed Ni Xiaopang, "Yes, yes, that means, this is not my hallucination at all."

Ni Xiaopang sighed, and looked at Yuan Bao lovingly, "It's hard for you."

Not only is Yuan Bao four years younger than him, but she is also a country girl who has never seen the world. No matter how smart she is, it is already rare to not lose her composure under this kind of pressure!
But Yuan Bao suddenly said something next, "Ni Xiaopang, do you know how old Mr. Ze is?"

Ni Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, and after quickly searching his memory, he answered uncertainly, "It seems to be fifteen."

"What?" Yuan Bao finally lost his composure this time, "Master Ze is only 15 years old?!" She suddenly realized that she had made an extremely outrageous mistake.

Yuan Bao remembered that the empress dowager celebrated her 55th birthday last year, and the emperor is now in his thirties. As the emperor's cousin, Mr. Ze is probably about the same age. Only after giving birth did he think of adoptive heirs.

Who would have thought that a 15-year-old boy might want to adopt a stepchild before he had tasted the sex between men and women!

How is this possible?
No, it is possible!

And there was only one explanation for this possibility—he was going to die soon, and he was too sick to have any children!

This deduction made Yuan Bao's mind flutter, and she yelled recklessly, "Why? Why did they do such a cruel thing?! Let a child take care of his own funeral and choose his heir ?!" Tears welled up in a flash.

"Yuanbao!" Ni Xiaopang yelled, and covered Yuanbao's mouth with his hand, "Are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about?!" He dragged Yuanbao towards the sedan chair.

Yuan Bao's whole body was limp, allowing Ni Xiaopang to stuff her into the sedan chair. Along the way, her tears wet the back of Ni Xiaopang's hands.

Ni Xiaopang looked at Yuan Bao worriedly, "Did I hurt you?" He didn't let go of the hand covering Yuan Bao's mouth, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crazy?" Now I really feel extremely powerless, why did Yuan Bao have a situation at this time, and it was a situation that he couldn't understand.

In Ni Xiaopang's heart, Yuan Bao has always been clever and calm, how could he say such exaggerated words just now? !
Yuan Bao became quiet, and she motioned for Ni Xiaopang to take away the hand that was still covering her mouth, and then said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Xiaopang, I lost my composure just now and made you worry, I promise, I won't Alright, let's go back!" She tried her best to calm down.
