"Are you sure that guy's surname is Qian? He only has a surname, not even a given name?" In the inner house of Shouning Hou Mansion, a middle-aged servant in his forties stood respectfully in front of a young woman, holding a hand in the young woman's hand.
, is unfolding a letter.
"Miss, the young master made it clear in his letter. However, the man only stayed in Jining for a few days and then left in a navy warship. The relationship between the young master and the navy has never been good. I can't find out the specifics!
The servant nodded: "That man
I don’t dare to guess about her identity, but the young master said that the person who can silence Jining’s Jining Guards and allow the navy to give such a big face should be a well-known person in the capital. The young lady is in the capital.
Just ask around and you’ll find out!”
"For the money in the second half of the year, the young master asks the young lady to wait a little. It will take about a month or two before the young master can come up with it!"
"How much money did he give that man before he was willing to let him go?" The young woman snorted slightly, but there was a burst of pain in her body. In the Marquis's mansion, he was favored by the Marquis, but there was nothing wrong with him.
Spending money, she couldn't afford to be such a person just relying on the monthly money given by the Marquis, and she also knew that although her brother sent money every few months
The money that came was not too much in the eyes of the Marquis, but she had no doubt that the Marquis' love for her was also a contribution to the money. And every time her brother sent the money, she did not forget it.
He also secretly sent such a letter to his sister, but today, this letter came, clearly asking for an explanation from him.
"It cost about 8,000 taels in total!" The servant hesitated and then told the truth. After serving the Pi family for many years, he naturally knew that the young lady in front of him was much more powerful than the idiot young master. In front of her,
He didn't dare to hide anything from the young master.
"It's really a big deal. It seems that it really scared him!" The young woman snorted, "I'm still as useless as when I was a child. I won't write letters anymore. You can send him a message. I have my own opinion on this matter.
The money from our Pi family is always a bit hot to hold!"
The young woman's name was Pi Xiaoyan, and she was naturally Pi Dan's sister and the eldest lady of the Pi family. After sending away the servants, Pi Xiaoyan felt tired. She worked hard to get this job for her brother in front of the Marquis, and she still expected her brother.
She was helping her out a little, but when this brother caused trouble, he still made the same demands on her as before, which really made her feel exhausted.
It is absolutely impossible to talk to the Marquis about such a matter. This is not something that can be done by acting coquettishly in front of the Marquis. She has figured out the Marquis' temperament thoroughly, and it is the most troublesome thing.
If you are a poor person, your brother will be given to the Hou Mansion
If you keep sending money continuously, the Marquis will love Wu and Wuduo and love him a little more. But if there is no money, then the Marquis will definitely think that his brother is useless. As for helping his brother to open his eyes, I am afraid that I don't have that.
face.
"Is the housekeeper Zhang here today?" She lay down on the armchair and asked the maid next to her.
The maid nodded and ordered: "Go and ask Butler Zhang to come over and tell him that I want to ask him something!"
Not long after, Butler Zhang from the Hou Mansion hurried in. With Butler Zhang, there is naturally Butler Zhang. The first steward is the real steward of the Hou Mansion. This Butler Zhang is actually just a steward.
, it’s just that his father is the chief steward of the Hou Mansion, so he got such a title.
, this person has been serving people for generations, his father has served the Marquis, and he has to serve the Marquis's son very well. Of course, for the aunts in the inner house, this little housekeeper Zhang is absolutely required.
The person he was trying to win over was someone who could be talked to in front of the Marquis and the Young Marquis.
"I've met Aunt Pi!" Zhang Xiaoan greeted her as soon as she came in. Seeing his well-behaved appearance, who would have thought how arrogant he was when he bullied men and women outside.
"Butler Zhang, you are well known outside. There are people you know in every government. You are well versed in all matters in the capital. Is it okay for me to ask you something?"
"Why are you being so polite, Aunt Pi? If you have anything to do, just ask me!" Zhang Xiaoan raised his eyebrows. He would use the name of the Marquis to act outside. He still knew that Mrs. Ru, who was deeply loved by the Marquis, should be treated as such.
How to do it.
"Does Butler Zhang know anyone in Jinyiwei?" Pi Xiaoyan asked. As a woman who lives deep in the Hou Mansion, if she doesn't rely on the Marquis, she has to rely on these people working outside. Therefore,
Even though Zhang Xiaoan and she were servants and masters, she was still polite.
"I know some people, but I know more people from Xichang. Now that Jin Yiwei is out of fashion, who cares about them in the capital? If my aunt wants to go to Jin Yiwei to do something, why not go to people from Xichang?" Zhang Xiaoan
He smiled and said, "Of course, if it's not a big thing, I can do it for you!"
"Haha, do you know if there is anyone named Qian among the senior officials in Jinyiwei?" Pi Xiaoyan smiled and said softly.
Zhang Xiaoan blinked and looked at Pi Xiaoyan. He really didn't know what Pi Xiaoyan meant by asking. The Marquis and the Jin Yiwei Qian Wubing were not just grudges. They were servants like them.
I know that the Marquis wants to help a person from the original mansion do that
The commander of the Jin Yiwei was unexpectedly ruined by Qian Wubing. Every time the Marquis mentioned this matter, he became furious. Even the tea cups in the study were smashed by the Marquis. Could it be said that such a thing...
Would the aunt whom the Marquis loves so much not know at all?
"Auntie, are you old with this person?" He asked cautiously, but his eyes were looking at Pi Xiaoyan. If Pi Xiaoyan really had anything to do with Qian Wubing, this woman would be afraid that her good days would be over.
He doesn't need to be so reserved anymore.
"Is there really such a person?" Pi Xiaoyan became more energetic, "Tell me, what is this person's name and how old is he?"
"Auntie hasn't answered my question yet!" Zhang Xiaoan chuckled, "There are quite a few people with the surname Qian in Jinyiwei. If Auntie doesn't tell me, how do I know who she is talking about?"
"It's old, huh, I have an old relationship with his ancestors!" Pi Xiaoyan snorted and couldn't help but say a curse word: "This guy blackmailed my mother's family of eight thousand taels of silver. Does this count as old?"
That's it! Zhang Xiaoan felt at ease, "So that's it, I was really shocked just now. Although someone in our house has gone out and is now in a high position in Jinyiwei, our Lord Marquis and Jinyiwei's surnames are
Qian seems to be a bit incompatible, I'm still worried that my aunt has any relationship with this Qian?"
"This man surnamed Qian, the one who is in the spotlight right now is of course the Jinyiwei commanding Qianshi. Nanya Town has helped Qian Wuyi. However, he is not in Beijing right now. There is also Qian Qianhu in Beijing.
Then the subordinates of Nanya..."
"Don't talk about those who are in Beijing!" Pi Xiaoyan interrupted him: "It must be Qian Wubing. This thing didn't happen in Beijing! You just said that there is something wrong between our Lord Marquis and this person named Qian.
A great match?"
"Well, this is Qian Wubing. As for the other Qianhu Qian Ning, he is just his lackey. He is not qualified to play against our Marquis! That Qian Wubing heard that he is very close to Dai Wangfu.
At the moment, His Majesty's favorite concubine, the concubine, was born in the Daiwang Palace. Qian Wubing relies on this favor and is called a domineering person in the capital. He has done all the profitable business. If others are not convinced, they can directly
He was arrested and thrown into prison. Almost everyone in the capital dared to be angry but dared not speak out!"
"Didn't you just say that Jin Yiwei has passed away and that the father-in-laws of Xichang are now in charge?"
"Auntie, you don't know. It's true that Jin Yiwei has passed away, but Qian Wubing has gone somewhere. He has a very good relationship with the admiral Zhang Eunuch of Xichang. Otherwise, you would think that a
Is this small matter of commanding really enough to give Mr. Hou a headache? The Governor of the West Factory, Eunuch Zhang, is very valued in the palace by our Empress Dowager, the Empress and several other nobles.
, With this kind of connection, the Marquis is restrained, otherwise, this mere Qian Wubing would have died countless times!"
"That's it!" Pi Xiaoyan nodded thoughtfully. Sure enough, she had some background. However, when she thought of the 8,000 taels of silver that Qian Wubing blackmailed away, she felt a little painful in her heart.
At this time, it is often the time to test whether a douchebag is a qualified douchebag. A qualified douchebag must be able to seize the opportunity, show his bad intentions, and spend money and make his master think he is his.
idea, and then profit somewhat from it.
Zhang Xiaoan was obviously a qualified loser. He rolled his eyes, smiled secretly, and asked, "Are you relieved, or do you want to get back the money that was blackmailed by that guy?"
"Oh, do you have any idea?" Pi Xiaoyan looked at him.
"Of course there is a way, but I have to ask my aunt what she means first, and then decide what to do?"
"What if I want to get back the money that was blackmailed by that guy, and at the same time, I can breathe a sigh of relief? This guy is not in the capital right now, what can you do to deal with him?"
"He is not in the capital. After all, he has his family and subordinates in the capital. It is only because he is not in the capital that he can handle this matter. Madam, please come over here. What do you think of this and this...?"
Pi Xiaoyan listened to Zhang Xiaoan whispering softly in her ear. Her cold face finally showed a smile. When Zhang Xiaoan spoke and looked at her with a smile, she spoke leisurely.
He said: "I used to think you were a hard-working, honest, and quick-thinking person. Why didn't I see that you were so bad?"
She pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "However, I like it. You can go ahead and take care of this matter. If you want to pay for it, just ask me to pick it up!"
Zhang Xiaoan boldly touched her Baishengsheng arm: "I also like doing things for my aunt. Talking about money or something, that would be too tacky, isn't it? Auntie, just wait for the good news from me.

Today, a letter like this came, and it was clear that I wanted to seek an explanation from him.
