After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

Along the way, Huang Wenyao kept his eyes closed, not intending to talk to Xiao Yiyuan.And Xiao Yiyuan was thinking quickly, what to say next.

Obviously, the second prince wanted to use him to deal with the Yongning Houfu.It's just that he doesn't understand what use he has.Even though Marquis Yongning is dead, and Marquis Yongning's two sons haven't grown up yet, they still can't be moved by him.

Besides, what kind of grievances does Yongninghou Mansion have with the Second Prince?

But no matter what, as the one being used, he will not end well no matter who wins or loses in the battle between the Yongning Hou Mansion and the Second Prince.The best way to protect yourself is to stay away and not participate in it.

But can it?

Xiao Yiyuan glanced at Huang Wenyao who had his eyes closed, it should be impossible.His hands were tightly clenched again, and he must find a way to get out.

"Mr. Huang, here we are."

The carriage stopped, and the voice of a servant came from outside.Huang Wenyao opened his eyes, smiled at Xiao Yiyuan, and made a gesture of asking, "Please, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Yiyuan nodded and waited for Huang Wenyao to get off before getting out of the car.He turned his head and saw that it was a teahouse. He followed Huang Wenyao and walked in. Huang Wenyao asked for a private room, and the two went in one after the other.

After sitting down, Huang Wenyao followed Xiao Yiyuan with a teacup and said, "I heard that Mr. Xiao's family is poor, but he is smart in reading."

"Just work harder." Xiao Yiyuan said.

Huang Wenyao smiled, and took a sip of tea, "I, like Young Master Xiao, have loved reading since I was a child, and my family gave me everything they had, but I was still a bit unlucky, so I had to stop."

Xiao Yiyuan drank his tea with his head down, but didn't answer his words.He was afraid that if he said a word casually, he would be caught by the other party.I have to admit that he came out of a poor country, and his world and experience can't compare with these people from Shangjing.So, it's better to talk less.

Huang Wenyao didn't seem to want him to answer, he said again: "Even if Juren can be recommended as an official, not everyone can be nominated. Just like me, I have no family background, no connections, but I have some money in my hand, but I have no relationship with Beijing. Compared with those dignitaries in the palace, they are nothing."

Xiao Yiyuan continued to drink tea without saying a word, while Huang Wenyao continued, "Do you know about Tang Guogong's mansion?"

Xiao Yiyuan shook his head slightly, and Huang Wenyao smiled at him, "The current wife of the Marquis of Yongning, Mrs. Yongning, was born in Tang Guogong's mansion. It is said that when Mrs. Yongninghou was in her boudoir, she was the jewel in the palm of Tang Guogong."

"It's far away," Huang Wenyao said again: "Tang Shubai, the eldest son of Tang Guogong's mansion, thought of being a scholar at the beginning, and then he was recommended as an official, and now he is a second-rank official. None of them participated, but they are also high officials of the imperial court. Oh, the third master of Tang Guogong’s mansion, he passed the Jinshi in the scientific examination. Others’ Jinshi starts from the seventh-rank officials, and they directly release the fifth-rank officials.”

Huang Wenyao sighed heavily, and Xiao Yiyuan could feel that his sigh was very real.I heard him say again: "You will know after you have been in Beijing for a long time. The imperial examination can be an official, but it can be glorious, but it doesn't matter if you have connections or money. A cough by the master can make you breathless."

He looked deeply at Xiao Yiyuan, "Young Master Xiao, you understand, you have a family background, a family background, and without a family background, if you want to enter the imperial court, it is hard to reach the sky."

Xiao Yiyuan curled his hands together slightly, but remained silent.In fact, Huang Wenyao already knew these words.Although no one told him these things before, there are some things that don't need to be said, and you can understand them if you think about them casually.

There is a river in their village, even in the dry season, the river has never been thirsty.The villagers treasured the river as if they were their lives, and it was fine as usual. If it came to a drought year, the village would send people to guard the river so that other villagers would not take the water away.

This is the barrier between villages. This barrier is difficult to break because it concerns the survival of a village.

Classes are the same.Officials and scholar-bureaucrats have their own interests.The imperial examination can change a person's destiny and cross a class, but after entering that class, it is only at the end.Those aristocratic families have held power for many years, how could they easily let a person who just entered the class go away?

Therefore, he never thought of reaching the sky in one step.

"Mr. Xiao is lucky!" Huang Wenyao said again: "Mr. Xiao has a good grandfather. If Mr. Xiao has been living in Shangjing and taught by the old Marquis Yongning himself, you are now the son of Marquis Yongning, and you have already entered the court as an official." Maybe. There is no need to study and study so hard. It is a pity that the old Marquis of Yongning remarried, and now the title of the Marquis is also lost!"

Huang Wenyao looked at Xiao Yiyuan and saw that his face was calm, neither angry nor excited, and his brows were slightly frowned.After thinking about it, he said again:

"It's not impossible. Although the Yongning Hou Mansion has the backing of the Tang Guogong Mansion, Xiao Huai is dead, and the Yongning Hou Shizi is also useless, let alone the second son of his family. , there is absolutely no way to compare with you. If the second prince helps you, I dare to say that, you will be the future Marquis of Yongning."

"Mr. Huang be careful." Xiao Yiyuan said quickly: "I never had such an idea, and my grandfather was indeed named Xiao Chengkun, but there are many people with the same name. There is no way to prove that the old Yongninghou is the grandfather of the student. I don’t understand, I don’t know how to do anything, I just know how to read, thank you, Second Prince, for your love.”

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply, "Mr. Huang, the students are leaving."

He was about to leave, but Huang Wenyao's mission was not completed, how could he let him go, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve and said, "Marquis of Yongning is a super rank title, you really don't want to be it? You have suffered so much, but others are full of flowers, Are you willing?"

Xiao Yiyuan kept his face sullen and did not speak. Huang Wenyao thought his words were effective, and said again: "Young Master Xiao, that is a super-grade title! As long as you nod your head and do what the Second Prince said, His Royal Highness said, he guarantees that you will be The next Marquis of Yongning. Mr. Xiao, you..."

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open suddenly, Huang Wenyao and Xiao Yiyuan were startled, they quickly turned their heads to look at the door, and saw a [-]-year-old boy, dressed in coarse cloth, standing angrily at the door with a long knife in his hand.There were also two young men in brocade clothes standing beside him, and they looked like they were enjoying the show.

This young man was none other than Xiao Yuming who was serving as the entourage of General Xiang, and standing beside him were Qi Er and Yan Wu.

"Second prince is so proud. Whoever he wants to be the Marquis of Yongning can be the Marquis of Yongning! Can he be the master of the world?"

ps: The second prince seems to be getting more and more stupid. It's because the emperor's genes are bad, so don't blame me.
