Chapter 1031 Digging a hole

Li Zi is a very careful person and considerate in his work. He carefully recalled his experiences in the past few years and told everything he knew. However, his relationship with the manager of the Huang family was only mediocre, and what he could say was limited. He only knew that

The man is Huang Jincheng.

One of the young stewards in charge of foreign affairs had drunk with him in his early years and had roughly heard him talk about his relationship with Wu Shaoying. He also heard that Wu Shaoying gave him to his niece Qin Hanzhen as a servant. Therefore, even though he was a servant of the Qin family, he also knew about her.

I know the situation of the Wu family quite well.

Qin Ping remained silent after hearing this. This thing seems weird. Huang Jincheng has been friends with Wu Shaoying for several years. He must have heard about his situation. It is impossible to send someone to inquire about it until now. Besides, what the manager inquired about

, most of them are things that many outsiders know. Even if you ask Wu Shaoying face to face, you can get more than 80% of the answers. Why would Huang Jincheng be so sneaky and send people to contact the Qin family servants privately?

He looked at his daughter Qin Hanzhen and said, "This doesn't seem like something Huang Jincheng would do. Maybe... it wasn't at his instigation?"

Qin Hanzhen didn't think it was the case either. Didn't it mean that the wife in charge had served the old lady before and now she was working beside Madam Huang? Maybe the female relatives in the inner courtyard were inquiring? But why did they want to inquire about Wu Shaoying's situation?

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while and said: "If the Huang family wants to inquire about Cousin Wu, they probably don't need to wait until Li Zi returns to Beijing before trying to contact them. We can ask the servants brought by Cousin Wu, maybe they can also

What do you know?"

Qin Ping nodded. Li Zi quickly volunteered: "This matter is easy to handle, let's leave it to the younger one. The younger one has been working as a boss in the Wu family for two years and is familiar with the heads. There is no need to alert Master Wu, so he can find someone to ask questions.

Already."

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "You are quite clever. You are still on vacation, so you are busy looking for errands for yourself."

Li Zi smiled and said: "The days during the holidays are certainly free, but sometimes they are too free, and I don't know what to do every day. I have been busy in Lingnan for so long, and suddenly I am free. Even the little ones are not used to it.

I don’t even know how to live my life well.”

Qin Ping said with a smile: "You are very skilled and clever, so it would be a pity to continue to be a slave. I remember that the third girl mentioned before that you come from a good family and your ancestors also served as officials. It would be a pity to be wasted like this. If so,

If you are willing, you can come to my side as a guard, and when you have the opportunity, you can replenish your military status, so that you can become famous one day and won't dishonor your ancestors, how about that?"

Li Zi was startled, then lowered his head hesitantly: "My lord's kindness, I feel deeply in my heart. But I have already sworn to serve the girl for the rest of my life, how can I break my promise midway? Please forgive me."

Qin Ping was very surprised and looked at Li Zi carefully. The path he introduced may take several years of hard work, but for those who are slaves, it is definitely a broad road. Does Li Zi understand what he means? Why?

How could you refuse so easily?!

Qin Hanzhen, on the other hand, understood what Li Zi was worried about, so he smiled and said to Qin Ping: "Don't worry, father, this matter is very easy to handle. When I get married, I will ask him to be my roommate and we will come together."

Go to Suning County Prince's Mansion. Wait until he enters the Prince's Mansion, then reinforce the army behind him

Regardless of whether he has a good citizenship or a good job, it is very easy to handle. In Suning, are you afraid that you will not find a good job for him? For people who come from the palace, others will not investigate his family background. He

As long as he stands openly in front of others, who dares to look down on him?"

After hearing this, Qin Ping guessed that Li Zi might be worried about his own origin, so Qin Hanzhen's approach was not bad, but Li Zi's future development prospects may only be limited to the Suning County Prince's Palace. But so what

What? Li Zi can do it if he likes it. He laughed it off and just teased his daughter: "You are a girl, how can you talk about getting married and having a wife? It's just in front of your own family. If outsiders hear it, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

?”

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "You can't survive just by being shy. You still have to do whatever you have to do."

Qin Ping thought about it, smiled, and said no more.

Li Zi went to inquire about the news and was very efficient. He reported it the next day. It was true that someone asked Wu Shaoying's servants and followers to inquire about him. However, Wu Shaoying's family management seemed to be loose, but in fact it was also very organized, with servants and followers.

Guards usually don't talk about family matters to outsiders. At most, they mention things that everyone knows, but it also depends on the person.

Wu Shaoying and Huang Jincheng have known each other for several years, and they have a good friendship. His subordinates also have good relations with the servants of the Huang family. They have always been in peace, and the people of the Huang family will not suddenly come to inquire about what is going on with the Wu family. But they live in

After returning to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, I did meet an old acquaintance of the Huang family. There would always be one or two servants of the Huang family with him. Some claimed to be Huang Jincheng's parents who worked for him, and some were made for Huang Jincheng's sister.

The servants were married to the Min family. These servants were all born into the family and were related to each other. People who were familiar with the servants of the Wu family brought their relatives and friends to chat and drink with them. Naturally, they treated each other with smiles.

The other party did ask about some things about the Wu family, but they didn't reveal much. They probably just mentioned where the Wu family's ancestral home was, the identities of Wu Shaoying's parents and ancestors, how much land and property there were in the family, and that Wu Shaoying had never married.

He had no wife and no engagement. His aunt, Mrs. Guan, who adopted him in his early years, had mentioned that she would look after him for him, but it didn’t happen later. As for Wu Shaoying’s relationship with the Guan family, as well as which family she had met in those years?

Why it didn't work - the Wu family servant didn't reveal a word, and all the information was vague.

There is no need to inquire in detail about this kind of thing. You only need to find someone who was born in Wubao or Mizhi County to get a rough idea. The Huang family's inquiry of this information is probably not of much use. They also found that the Wu family's servants are tight-lipped.

Maybe they were worried that it would arouse the Wu family's vigilance. They didn't dare to ask any more questions. They just maintained their friendship with the Wu family's servants. Every ten days and a half, they would always see each other and send some small things and receive some small things.

They would give each other gifts, and occasionally drink tea and wine together, but they would take turns being the host. They had an attitude of making friends as equals, so the servants of the Wu family and the servants of the Huang family got along well with each other.

One of the guards, who had taught Li Zi some skills in the past, quietly told him: "In fact, we also found something wrong about the Huang family's coming to inquire about it. We reported it to the master in private. The master said that he understood.

Let us pretend not to notice anything and continue to get along with the Huang family, making it seem like we are well aware of it."

Li Zi raised his eyebrows and reported the matter to Qin Hanzhen and Qin Ping. He also said with a smile: "The uncles who were looking for things from the Wu family earlier are not the same as those who were looking for the younger ones."

, it seems that they are all sent by female relatives, and they are inquiring about Mr. Wu’s marriage. Could it be that they plan to act as matchmakers for Mr. Wu?”

Qin Hanzhen looked weird. Since he was a matchmaker, it wasn't a bad thing. Why should he be so mysterious?

Qin Ping rewarded Li Zi and let him go down. Then he turned back to his daughter and said, "Don't tell your cousin about this yet. I'll just go and talk to him."

Qin Hanzhen blinked and asked him: "What does father plan to talk to Cousin Wu? If the Huang family intends to be a matchmaker, it is a good thing. It just so happens that Cousin Wu has now relaxed and is willing to marry."

Qin Ping said with a smile: "As a junior and a girl who has not yet left the court, how can you interfere in the marriage of your elders? Naturally, I leave it to my father. My father is your cousin's senior brother and brother-in-law, so with his

The elder brother is the same. As the eldest brother is a father, I naturally have to worry more about him."

Qin Hanzhen wanted to say something more, but Qin Ping had already started to wave his hands: "Go, go, go, the day of the banquet is coming soon. Have you prepared the menu? Have you purchased all the ingredients? The drinks have been arranged.

How about it? Have the maids, wives, and servants at home been trained well? There are still so many things to be busy with, why are you worrying about the private affairs of the elders? "

Qin Hanzhen curled his lips, thinking that he had almost done everything. When the day comes, what does his father know? He will stop him.

But... Qin Hanzhen remembered the idea he had once had, smiled slyly, agreed obediently, and walked back to the inner courtyard.

It was only when Qin Ping walked away that she returned to the second door, asked someone to call Li Zi over, and whispered to him: "If the steward of the Huang family comes to you again for information, you can find a way to leave no trace."

If I let him know, my wife has successfully persuaded my father and cousin to propose marriage to them, within the next two or three months!"

Li Zi was startled: "Girl, what do you mean..."

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled and said nothing. If the Huang family is really interested in Wu Shaoying's marriage, whether they want to be a matchmaker or recruit him as a son-in-law, they must take some action when they hear the news. They can't always do it secretly.

That's the end of trying to find out the news. Anyway, Wu Shaoying has relaxed now, and the initiative is in the hands of the Huang family. It depends on what they plan to do.

I have been waiting for Wu Shaoying to take the initiative, then when will I do it?!

Wu Shaoying didn't know that his nephew had just dug a hole for him. He had just welcomed his senior brother and cousin-in-law Qin Ping, and he was having a headache.

Qin Ping told him straight to the point: "Li Zi reported that someone from the Huang family came to him to inquire about you. He inquired very carefully about your family situation and marriage news. You have a good deal with Huang Jin.

, what do you think their family means? Are they planning to get married to you?"

Wu Shaoying was dumbfounded and stayed for a long time before saying: "It's just the servants who like to talk. Why should my brother-in-law care about them? They are all servants of the Huang family, and we can't take care of them. At least they won't lose their sense of proportion and violate the law.

If you follow the etiquette, let them go. If they have gone too far, I will mention it to Mr. Huang in private and let him control it."

Qin Ping raised his eyebrows: "Is that what you think? You and Huang Jincheng must be more familiar than me. In the past few years, due to my mother's instructions, you have had a lot of contact with his family. You are also a talented person.

, although you are older, your appearance, character, knowledge and talents are all of the best. If a female member of his family takes a fancy to you, it is human nature. You and I have always been brothers, why should you be alienated from me?

Are you pretending to be okay in front of me? After all, you have already promised to marry a wife. If there is a good daughter in the Huang family, she can get married to you, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? "
