Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 181 Your Intentions Are Most Important
Yuan Bao's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was no smile on his face. Although his words were meant to be provocative, they still offended the Yu family thoroughly. Sure enough, the maid didn't get back a single post.

The people outside quickly dispersed, and it didn't take a quarter of an hour at all. Both Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao tacitly didn't ask how people dealt with it, but this dinner, both of them were a bit hungry. I don't know the taste.

After the meal, Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao asked a lot of questions while the maids were tidying up the room. Although they didn't get answers to every one of them, they also learned a lot of information:
Ni Xiaopang is the only young master invited by Mr. Ze;

Ni Xiaopang is the eldest of the young masters surnamed Ni, and among the other young masters surnamed Ni, the oldest is only three years old, including those who did not come;
Contrary to the young master surnamed Ni, among the young masters surnamed Yu who came this time, the youngest one was fifteen years old, and the oldest one was 20 years old and a married man;

Ni Xiaopang is the only young master who has his own private courtyard, the rest of the young masters live in a small courtyard of about the same size with two or three people, and each person enters once;
The Ni Mansion has the most servants for Ni Xiaopang, and the rest are eight servants, either eight maids, or four servants and four servants, depending on the difference between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard;

Ni Xiaopang is the only young master who was received by Mr. Ze. The rest of the young masters, regardless of their surnames Ni or Yu, have not met any of the masters in the Ni mansion so far, and they are all waiting for the scene after everyone arrives. What about the banquet?

The carriage to pick up Ni Xiaopang is specially used in Mr. Ze’s yard. Not to mention the young masters who came to visit, even the other masters of the Ni Mansion cannot use it on weekdays. Even the carriage they used when they saw Mr. Ze The same is true for the sedan chair!
After a series of "one and only", Ni Xiaopang and Yuan Bao felt a little silly. They never thought that they would be so "outstanding". The destruction of them by the wind is a matter of time, no, it has already begun.

"The Yu Mansion and the Ni Mansion have not been very friendly, have they?" Yuan Bao speculated.

The servant girl answered lightly, "The Yu family has always been respectful to Mr. Ze!"

Yuan Bao nodded clearly, that is to say, he was quite dissatisfied with the rest of the Ni family. No wonder such a thing happened today. The young masters of the Yu family just wanted to give Ni Xiaopang a "dismissal", so they posted If you can't get invited, just call the door directly.

Ni Xiaopang said, "Fortunately, I didn't go to the appointment today."

Yuan Bao shook his head and said, "It's useless, this is just the beginning."

"Then what should we do?" Ni Xiaopang asked eagerly.

Yuan Bao shook his head again, "I don't know." Even if he knew, he couldn't say it here.

Ni Xiaopang understood and dismissed all the servants, but the two people who had a lot to talk about still looked at each other and dared not say anything, this feeling was really too uncomfortable.

Ni Xiaopang looked at the pen and ink on the table, and Yuan Bao asked, "Where do you want to throw it?" The trash can is definitely not acceptable, isn't it too strange to need a brazier in this season?
Just sitting like this was really boring, so Ni Xiaopang simply said, "I'm going to run in the yard." It has been nearly three years since he started to lose weight, and his figure has long been no different from that of ordinary people. It's hard to think that he ever had an obese childhood, but the habit of exercising has remained, and Ni Xiaopang always feels that his brain is easier to use when he is running.

Yuan Bao's eyes lit up, "Why don't I accompany you to the back garden." There was a small garden in the small courtyard where they lived.

In this season, the garden is lush, the flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers floats with the breeze and the shadow of the moon. It is really a good place to go.

After Ni Xiaopang ran for a few laps, he found that Yuan Bao, who had been following him, stopped. After he ran over, he asked with a smile, "What? You can't run anymore? Haven't you been practicing martial arts?"

Yuan Bao gave Ni Xiaopang a very dissatisfied look, "You hate it!" She can punch two sets, but at that level... Ni Xiaopang is obviously exposing her shortcomings!

Yuan Bao punched and kicked Ni Xiaopang, Ni Xiaopang ran away quickly, but did not run too far, waiting for Yuan Bao to chase him, the two chased and played like this, the laughter spread far away.

Yuan Bao suddenly pointed to a big tree and asked, "You run fast, so can you climb a tree? Look, how beautiful the flowers are blooming on it?" Later Yuan Bao found out that it was an acacia tree. I don't know how many years it has been. If the tree crown is not counted, it must be more than two meters high by visual inspection, and the tree crown is densely spread out, and even the flowers and leaves can't tell how many branches are inside.

Half red and half white, fluffy flowers bloom in the green leaves, not only very beautiful but also exuding bursts of fragrance.

"Why not?" Ni Xiaopang lifted up his robe unconvinced, "Since you like this flower, I'll pick it for you myself!" Yuanbao wants a star in the sky, not to mention a flower. Ni Xiaopang has a way, and will pick it for her.

Yuan Bao's eyeballs rolled around. The tree trunk was quite tall, but it was not very straight, and it was very rough. She thought she could still climb up, so she directed Ni Xiaopang, "Why don't you put your obstructive tree on the ground?" You can take off your robe, and I will make you a running suit later on."

Ni Xiaopang does have such clothes, but he didn't bring them when he went out this time, so he thought they wouldn't be needed. Now that Yuan Bao said that, he was not only rude, but also chased after him, "You said that, But don’t forget, I’m waiting to wear it!” He hadn’t worn Yuan Bao’s handmade clothes for a long time, and he missed them very much. In the past, he was reluctant to reward those clothes that were too small to wear, so he took them out to have a look .

Ni Xiaopang took off his robe and climbed up without much effort. He found a thick branch and sat down. He was about to ask Yuan Bao which flower he liked, but when he lowered his head, he was startled, "Yuan Bao, you Why did you come up?" Yuan Bao had already climbed halfway up the tree trunk.

"What are you shouting for?" Yuan Bao responded pantingly, "Aren't you afraid that I will fall?"

Ni Xiaopang quickly shut up, stared at Yuan Bao intently, then pulled Yuan Bao at the right time, let Yuan Bao sit side by side with him on the tree branch, and complained, "Why are you here? Don't you trust me?"

Yuan Bao wiped the sweat from his head, "You should keep your voice down, take a break, let's see if we can climb higher." The voice was as soft as a whisper.

Ni Xiaopang finally realized belatedly that Yuan Bao didn't want any flowers on the tree at all, but wanted to find a place where they could talk without any scruples. So good for him!

The part on the canopy, because there are more branches, is much easier to climb up, but they are still very careful. You must know that falling from such a high tree is not a joke. Fortunately, both of them passed by. Children who have been exercising for a long time are much more dexterous than ordinary people.

At last, they found a very good position. The dense branches and leaves blocked them all around. You can also have a panoramic view, and you are not afraid that the walls have ears.

Ni Xiaopang looked to the west, "Such a high wall, after crossing it, it should be outside the Ni Mansion. I don't know what kind of family has built so many houses." However, Fucheng, especially Fucheng City, it can be said that every inch of land is precious, and those who live here are either rich or expensive, so the two of them didn't think much about it.

Then, they began to chat freely, because they felt that this place was very secret, so they didn't deliberately lower their voices.

The two of them didn't know that there was a kind of people called martial arts masters, who possessed strong inner strength. Not to mention they climbed trees and whispered, no matter how hard they were to hide, it was easy to know their every word and deed. They have been closely monitored since they left Qing'an County, and what they are doing now is all useless.

But now, people don't even need such kung fu masters to hear their words clearly, just because they don't know that the position they chose is really convenient for those who observe them.

"Yuanbao, tell me, why did they treat me like this? What's so strange about me? Is it all because of the eggshell embroidery you made? Oh, yes!" Ni Xiaopang slapped his thigh heavily, "And that The way to settle accounts, these must be what they want!"

Yuan Bao was silent, she looked at Ni Xiaopang quietly, feeling very upset.

"Yuan Bao, why don't you talk? You talk about it, what should we do now?" Ni Xiaopang couldn't wait for Yuan Bao's response, so he couldn't help asking again.

Yuan Bao took a deep breath, and the rich floral fragrance seemed to wake her up a bit, "Little Fatty, the most important thing now is your heart!"

"My heart? Yuanbao, can you explain clearly?" Ni Xiaopang touched the back of his head.

Yuan Bao simply said bluntly, "Pang, you are in danger now because you have an advantage. No matter why Mr. Ze looks at you high, this is already a fact. If you are determined to win the position of heir, then no matter how big the risk and Even if it is difficult, I will accompany you forward, after all, there may not be such a rare opportunity in a person's life, and since I promised you, I will do it!"

Ni Xiaopang remained silent. Not only did he not have the slightest doubt about Yuan Bao's words, he didn't even express his gratitude, because he trusted Yuan Bao and knew that there was no need for politeness between them.

However, not far away, on Ni Yuze's jade-like face, there was a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he began to pay attention to Yuanbao—such a smart and clever little girl might make things change. Gotta be more interesting!

Ni Yuze hooked his fingers, and a person appeared in the shadow immediately, kneeling at his feet, "My lord..."

"Go and check again, whether it's Ni Junfei or Yuanbao, especially that Yuanbao, I want to know every detail!" Ni Yuze's voice was as cold and slow as ever.

"I never thought of making a fortune or becoming a high-ranking official, because I know that I am not that kind of material." After a while, Ni Xiaopang said slowly, "I'm stupid, and I don't have much courage," he said. The voice was a little low, and then became calm again, "However, it doesn't matter, I think this kind of life is very good, I used to want to lose weight, so that my mother would not dare to hurt me again, so that my father would see me in his eyes and in his heart. This son, admit that sometimes I am a little bit useful?" He smiled softly, "Now, I have all of these, and more than I ever wanted, I am very satisfied."

Just as Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Ni Xiaopang say again, "But, I don't just want these..."

Yuan Bao lowered his head quietly, how could wealth, power, and power not move people's hearts?Not to mention a young man like Ni Xiaopang, even she is also greedy, but she stopped because of danger, and her persuasion to Ni Xiaopang may return in vain.

But Ni Xiaopang said next, "I still want to protect you and prevent you from being bullied by anyone, not even my father or my grandfather! So, I think, if it is feasible, we should work hard it is good."

Yuan Bao groaned and swallowed, she didn't even bother to be moved, she just asked, "Little Fatty, this is what you want? Don't you want any more?" No way, what Ni Xiaopang said, It was said that Yuan Bao's mood was ups and downs, it was like being on a roller coaster, floating up into the air for a while, and falling into the bottom of the valley for a while, but no matter what, Yuan Bao was just like Ni Xiaopang, never doubting the other party Truth and sincerity in words.

Ni Yuze didn't want to listen anymore. These two children are stupid and naive, and they just treat each other as fools. They just lie to each other with empty teeth. They think they are smart, but they don't expect that this will only kill them. Just go faster.

"En!" Ni Xiaopang nodded heavily, "I don't want any more!"

Yuan Bao was still worried, and asked again, "Think about it again, are you sure you don't want it?" He reminded, "That's a lot of money and a lot of power, won't you regret it?"

Ni Xiaopang smiled, "I've made up my mind, I don't want anyone else." As long as Yuan Bao lives well and stays by his side, it's fine, and suddenly he came to his senses, "Aren't we talking the same thing?" No Is it all about striving for it?
Yuan Bao shook his head resolutely, "It's not the same!" He held Ni Xiaopang's hand tightly, "Pang, if you want to protect me, you must have your life first, right? And if we fight for that position, the possibility of your death is at the top of the list." From [-]% to [-]%, the possibility of my death is [-]%, and the possibility of us all dying is at least [-]%!"

"What?" Ni Xiaopang was so startled that he almost fell from the tree, "No... no way?"

Ni Yuze just raised the hand that wanted to call someone, but put it down again. This ingot is interesting. What is she going to do?Ni Yuze didn't believe it at all, Ni Junfei and Yuan Bao were indifferent to wealth and power.

"Or..." Ni Yuze thought, "Is Yuanbao going to ask Ni Junfei to protect her next, or should he show his loyalty to protect Ni Junfei?" The bottomless black eyes are even more cold, people in this world , nothing more than that.

Ni Xiaopang didn't think about it for too long this time. After all, his living environment since he was a child allowed him to see human greed. For such a little property under his father's name, his aunt would do anything to harm him. Faced with such a huge The temptation of everyone is more ruthless, what's so strange about it?His surprise just now was just that he didn't expect the success rate to be so low.

Ni Xiaopang first said slowly, "Isn't there still you?" He suddenly thought that he almost died last time because of dealing with his aunt Yuanbao, and he really didn't dare to do it again, and then said, "By the way, Mr. Ze, he will The one who helped us, since he is optimistic about us, he will definitely protect us, isn't that what happened today?" The servants dismissed the provocation of Mr. Yu and stood by their side.

"Little Fatty!" Yuan Bao interrupted Ni Xiaopang's unrealistic fantasy, "Why do you think so?! Didn't you hear Mr. Ze's voice today? Don't you feel anything? Think about it carefully. , who would talk like that?!"

"Ah?" Yuan Bao's topic changed too quickly, and Ni Xiaopang didn't realize it for a while, but he still answered honestly, "People with power, powerful people, just talk like that, I'm so old, The biggest official I've ever seen is Mr. Ze, so I think that's how powerful people should talk!"

Yuan Bao now understands why she feels differently from others. In this era where imperial power is paramount, family background is important, and hierarchy is strict, no one will treat high-ranking and powerful people as ordinary people, unless they already have similar identities to them. , status, and even some high-ranking people will be "deified", such as the emperor is the son of heaven or something.

But as a person with a modern soul, although Yuan Bao is also full of awe of the superior, she never has such a stupid idea. More often, she will regard the high and powerful as a successful person with respect. There is appropriate fear, but they will never feel that they are "gods".

This is an extremely delicate state of mind, and unless it is someone with the same experience, it is incomprehensible, and Yuan Bao didn't want to explain it, and she didn't even want others to know, so she directly said her answer, "Dead man! Little Fatty, I think that if the corpse could speak, it would definitely be in the tone and tone of Mr. Ze!"

"What?" Ni Xiaopang was stunned. He never expected Yuan Bao to say such a thing. Immediately afterwards, he felt a gust of wind blowing in the clear summer night, making his whole body covered with rice grains. "Yuan...Yuan Bao, don't, don't scare me!"

Ni Xiaopang was astonished, and Ni Yuze was even more surprised. Anger arose in his heart, but it dissipated in an instant, turning into a sadness that he himself didn't realize. How many people are discussing and making up their minds, why should he argue with a servant? !
