Chapter 1177 Step by Step into the Internet
Ming Teng covered Ran Xun's scream and said, "Keep your voice down, everyone is watching you!"
Ran Xun thought to himself that he was really frightened. His friend was about to be taken over. He motioned Ming Teng to let go and whispered, "This is not your character. You actually accepted it so calmly."
He understood his friend who grew up with him and was sentimental. He didn't even cry or make a fuss. He felt it was unreal that he saw him accept it so calmly.
Ming Teng smiled and said, "My family is doing this for my own good."
He had no grudges and changed his surname but still stayed at home. He accepted the change naturally. With his grandmother's advice, he got along very well with his fourth uncle Taigong in the past two days.
Ran Xun's heart was the most complicated. Originally, he was a grandson who was not valued and had few family resources. Ming Teng made progress after being beaten. He thought that his friend had become enlightened and knew that he had to work hard. This also aroused his fighting spirit and he must not be left behind by his friend.
The result was something I never expected, "You actually left me behind and reached the finish line first."
Isn't it the end point? After the succession, Mingteng will be the young marquis. Look how much the emperor values Rong Yuyun. Zhou Shuren is no longer the person who enters the palace the most. The one who enters the palace the most is Rong Yuyun!
Ming Teng was stunned for a moment, then his smile deepened. This is something all the friends know, "You can't be jealous."
Ran Xun wanted to vomit blood, because his friend was right, it was useless for him to be jealous, who could prevent his grandfather from having a bizarre background? "We were childhood sweethearts, bah, no, we grew up together, although we are not related by blood, we are like brothers, you have to protect me in the future!"
Suddenly I realized that grandpa will never be as powerful as my friends in the future, oh, and my dad too!
Dong Zhan looked at Ming Teng with his head down. It was true that simple people have simple fortunes, and Ming Teng was the one with the best luck.
In the Rong Marquis's Mansion, Gu Ren asked, "My Lord, why did you rush to ask me to come here? What's the urgent matter?"
Rong Enqing was delighted. "The Emperor praised me today and said that he really liked the ointment I gave him. Do you have any more?"
Gu Ren was delighted, "Yes, but how much do you want, Lord?"
Rong Enqing stood up excitedly, "I saw the emperor today. He was in good spirits. I was thinking of getting some more. Yes, and for my father. You know my father is old and not in good spirits. My father also tried it last time and it really worked."
Gu Ren's heart was beating fast, how could it not be? The Emperor and the Crown Prince were surrounded by a wall of iron and copper, and it was difficult to poison their food and other things. Now that the Emperor trusted his mother's family, they saw an opportunity. Unexpectedly, things would go so smoothly.
Gu Ren hooked his fingertips and said, "I'll have someone bring it to you in a minute. Yes, actually this thing is not only suitable for older people, but also for young people."
Rong Enqing's heart was like a boiling volcano, but he had to pretend on his face, "Really?"
"How can I deceive you? It's fine for young people to use it, but it's hard to get this thing. It's very precious, and I don't have much left."
The last sentence is true. The amount of smuggled people is not small, but they have to use these things to control some people. If they divide them, there will be less left, and they don't have much left.
Rong Enqing frowned, "Tell me where you got it, and I can get it myself."
Gu Ren stared at Rong Enqing with shining eyes, "This thing is rare. If you are willing to help me, I will get more for you."
Rong Enqing asked, "How can I help?"
Gu Ren smiled and said, "I heard that the Marquis has a caravan going out to sea, and it was given to you by the Emperor. When the time comes, all you have to do is help bring some things back."
He had long been eyeing this caravan. The emperor had given him a tip, and the various government offices at the ports knew the people behind some of the caravans. Some would investigate carefully, while others would not.
Rong Enqing smiled and said, "Let me think about it."
Gu Ren didn't doubt it either. He just thought about it. If he agreed immediately, he would be confused.
Rong Enqing sent Gu Ren away with his eyes narrowed. The emperor knew that this thing could harm people and control them, so he asked him to follow Gu Ren to find out who these things were sold to. The more he came into contact with the Zhang family, the more he opened his eyes. These people had no conscience and were more terrifying than ghosts when they were alive.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Mingteng's succession. The people invited were all those with the best connections. People from the Ningguo Mansion came, several engaged relatives came, and there were also Wu Ming and others.
Although there were few guests, they were all of high status, especially the Prince of Qi who came instead of the Crown Prince.
The King of Qi said, "Originally, the Crown Prince wanted to come in person, but he had something else to do and couldn't leave, so he asked me to come."
As for the King of Chu who had been following him, he used to want to follow him wherever he went, but after knowing the truth, the King of Chu became a homebody, staying completely in his palace and never going out.
Yuyun is the most important person today. He is smiling. The royal family coming here is an honor to him. "I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his concern and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi for coming in person."
King Qi, "You are too polite."
Although today's succession was a small event, Yuyun was not careless at all. He asked someone to calculate the auspicious time, and the auspicious time could not be delayed at all.
Zhou Shuren saw the mechanical box containing the family tree again. He already knew that this box was not afraid of water or fire. The wisdom of the ancients was so amazing. He was particularly interested in it, so his cheap fourth uncle gave him one. He also lamented that some inheritances had been broken, and said that when the Rong family was at its peak, there were many rare treasures.
Yuyun took a pen, smiled at Mingteng who was kneeling upright, and wrote down Mingteng's name. Mingteng changed his surname but not his given name. It should have been An, but Yuyun still wrote the three words Rong Mingteng.
Zhou Shuren, standing on the side, was also stunned, looking at his fourth uncle in confusion. There was only excitement and joy in Rong Yuyun's eyes, and a hint of ambition that Rong Yuyun himself was not aware of.
Prince Qi listened to Rong Yuyun calling Rong Mingteng with his eyes narrowed. The two Rong Marquisates were going to be completely separated.
Zhou Shuren watched as his fourth uncle took out a new family tree and looked at the one that had already been copied, including the people from his branch, and then Mingteng.
Ning Xi had more thoughts. The emperor wanted to completely separate the two Rong Marquis Mansions. Not only did he dislike Rong Enqing's branch, but he was also wary of the two Rong Marquis Mansions being too tightly tied together. He looked at Zhou Shuren with the rest of his eyes. The emperor would not allow the power of the three forces to be too great.
Ning Xu gathered his mind and the emperor took one step and looked ten steps ahead, taking precautions against any possibilities in the future.
Ran Zheng envied Zhou Shuren, who also achieved his success without any help from his family. However, Zhou Shuren walked out his own path step by step, a path that was unique to him.
Everyone present is an old fox, as can be seen from the names in the family tree.
Zhou Shuren naturally figured it out, and thought to himself, the emperor is the emperor, and not everyone can do the job.
The important step of inheritance was over, Mingteng kowtowed to his parents again. Mr. and Mrs. Zhou knew they should be happy, but they couldn't help but want to cry.
Finally, Ming Teng offered tea, but this time he did not call his fourth uncle "Grandpa". He said, "Grandpa, please have some tea."
Yu Yin's eyes almost disappeared from laughing, and he kept saying, "Okay, okay."
