The Xing family and the Wang Shanbao family all took a breath of cold air, ten taels of silver?! Sir, give it to Jiao San?!
Who in the whole family knows what kind of temper Jia She has? If you want to get ten taels of silver from him, even during the holidays, even the second girl or Jia Cong can't, but Jiao San, the driver, actually gets ten taels of silver?
Even Mr.
Mr. Xing realized it immediately. This can only mean that what Jiao San and the others saw and heard in the past few days with the master were too important, so they reluctantly paid ten taels of silver to keep their mouth shut.
Mrs. Xing and Wang Shanbao's family looked at each other in confusion, but their inner curiosity was even more intense. Finally, Mrs. Xing gritted her teeth and said: "Shanbao, if you really want to blame me, I will bear it with all my strength."
Wang Shanbao hesitated for a while and then said: "Madam, why don't you go ask the master directly about this matter, I don't know much about it."
"You don't know much, so just tell me what you know, and I will ask you later." Mr. Xing refused to give up.
"Madam, I only know that it is related to the generals and military attachés who were captured by the Mongols in the Beijing camp. It seems that I want to ask Uncle Feng to help redeem a few people..." Forced with no way out, Wang Shanbao could only say na na
He said: "I really don't know about the other things. Madam, please don't say she is young..."
Mr. Xing was also shocked. It turned out to be this business!
It is no secret that tens of thousands of people were captured in the Beijing camp. Even "Today's News" half-heartedly admitted the matter. There were scolds and cries in the capital. Later, there were rumors that the imperial court had promised to redeem the soldiers, but there were also
Rumor has it that they only redeemed ordinary soldiers, but the Mongols refused to let go of the generals and officers, and demanded a high price. There are different opinions, and it is not known who is true and who is false.
The master actually wants to do this kind of business?! Ms.
"I don't know about this young one. Judging from the situation of the master, it should be possible. The master said that Uncle Feng has connections with the Mongols..." Wang Shanbao gave a vague general idea, a little worried,
I feel that I have said too much, and I am afraid that if the master knows about it, he will not bypass me.
Xing's heart moved slightly, but he remained calm: "Okay, I understand. Don't say anything more about me, I will ask him."
After sending Wang Shanbao away, Ms.
Wang Shanbao’s family was surprised, “Madam, what should we do?”
"Let Xing Zhong come, hasn't he been out there eating and drinking all day long? After so long, he should have some friends in the capital. I heard that there were hundreds of people in the capital camp captured by the Mongols.
How can the master control so much? He is just looking after some people with status and reputation, or people with whom he has had friendships in the past. Those ordinary generals and assistants must not be able to control them. It is better to let Xing Zhong go and inquire about other people in the capital.
If people are captured by the Mongols, we can also help them..."
Mr.
, Professor Xing Zhong, the money earned from this, naturally you two will have a share..."
Wang Shanbao's family was also very moved when they heard this, but they were also afraid that if they did this and the master knew about it, they would really be hated by the master in the future.
Seemingly seeing through Wang Shanbao's family's worries, Ms.
"
What Mr.
Mr. Xing sneered, "You would think about your son-in-law..."
Wang Shanbao’s family remained silent.
Ms.
It can’t be done in a day or two,..."
"Madam, Uncle Feng's side..." Wang Shanbao's family raised the most important question: "I heard that Uncle Feng is going back to Yongping Mansion soon."
Mr. Xing pondered for a moment, but this is the most difficult one.
It's easy to inquire about the families of these generals who were captured by the Mongols in the capital, but if you ask them, even if they are willing to redeem them, you have to find a way. This way is in Feng Ziying's hands, and now the master has set up a line with Feng Ziying
, I am going to open another one, how can I tell Feng Ziying? How can Feng Ziying pay attention to me?
However, Mr.
The master should also have played this card. If he can play this card, then when Xing Zhong is used, he can naturally use the name of Xiuyan.
It’s just that there is no need to say this to Wang Shanbao’s family.
"I have my own plan." Mrs. Xing pretended to be confident and nodded, "You just have to do these things first."
Xiao Hong searched around the edge of Jia She's yard and found the right opportunity to enter the yard. However, she soon discovered that Wang Shanbao was guarding outside Jia She's study room, and he acted as if strangers should not approach him.
, you knew something was not quite right.
In the past, when the eldest master and the second master and uncle Feng were talking in Rongxi Hall, we never saw this kind of situation. No wonder the second mistress wanted to find out what uncle Feng was talking about with the eldest master.
After walking around twice with no chance, Xiao Hong had no choice but to leave, but saw Siqi coming over in a hurry.
The Qin family and the Lin family are both considered to be the sons of some respectable families in the Rongguo Mansion, but the status of Lin Zhixiao and Lin Zhixiao's family is obviously higher. Lin Zhixiao is the manager second only to Lai Da. With the collapse of the Lai family, Lin Zhixiao, Wu Xing
Deng, Yu Xin, Zhang Cai, Dai Liang, Qian Hua, this is the latest ranking among the servants in Rongguo Mansion after the Lai family was "overthrown".
Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xingdeng are competing for the position of the number one steward, followed closely by Yu Xin and Zhang Cai, while Dai Liang and Qian Hua are ranked last.
However, neither Jia Mu nor Mrs. Wang nor Wang Xifeng intend to establish a general housekeeper similar to Lai Da, but prefer to divide the management.
For example, the original internal and external affairs that Lai Datong was in charge of were divided into two parts. Lin Zhixiao assisted in managing the farmland and the external business of the shop. Wu Xingdeng assisted in taking charge of various internal operating expenses in the government. Yu Xin took over the former general manager of Wu Xindeng's bank warehouse.
After taking the post, Zhang Cai became the general manager of the warehouse for other items except money, Dai Liang was responsible for purchasing, and Qian Hua was responsible for auditing. Compared with the original situation where Lai Da was the master of everything, this division of responsibilities was much more reasonable.
“Si Qi, where are you going in such a hurry?” Lin Hongyu stepped forward to greet him.
"Xiaohong, what are you doing here?" Si Qi saw that it was Lin Hongyu, and he was a little curious. Second Mistress Lian was incompatible with the eldest man. Everyone in the house knew that, how could Xiaohong come here?
"Sister Ping'er heard that Uncle Feng was here, so she sent me to take a look..." Lin Hongyu naturally couldn't carry Wang Xifeng out, so it was most appropriate to let Ping'er, who was very harmonious with everyone in the house, carry him out.
of.
"Ping'er?" Si Qi also hummed in her heart. She had always wondered whether Ping'er, the little boy, had an affair with Uncle Feng. The last time Ping'er and she saw Uncle Feng being intimate with his girl, they turned around and left.
And Uncle Feng didn't seem to be afraid of Ping'er speaking out. Besides, Ping'er had a firm tongue, but at least he had to give a few warnings, but Uncle Feng actually ignored him, which made Si Qi a little suspicious.
Now that the Second Mistress and the Second Master Lian have reconciled, Ping'er is probably looking for a suitable place to go. Maybe he just saw Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er's path. Uncle Feng himself is a romantic seed. , I am afraid that I felt half relaxed when I saw Ping'er's plump and jade-like body, and they naturally hit it off.
"Is Ping'er's little hooves too excited?" Si Qi said carelessly.
Lin Hongyu was surprised, but she also knew that Si Qi and Pinge had always been on good terms, and that these maids were not taboos in private among themselves, so she smiled and said: "Si Qi, go talk to Sister Heping'er about this. I don’t dare to ask random questions.”
“Humph, she’s not afraid that Second Mistress will skin her?” Siqi said casually.
"Whether you're afraid or not is also Sister Ping'er's business. What are you doing here?" Hongyu asked.
"I came to see my parents." Si Qi could find an excuse casually. Wang Shanbao and Qin Ming were both in Jia She's yard, so it was normal for her to come. "Why, you didn't see Feng uncle?"
"Your grandpa is guarding the door and no one is allowed in. It's probably the elder who is talking to Uncle Feng. Why don't you go ask for me and see what they are talking about and how long it will take?" Hongyu said falsely. .

"That's okay." Siqi went in in a hurry, but came out in a moment, and said with a straight face: "My grandpa said that the eldest master and uncle Feng were talking about serious things, I'm afraid he doesn't know when we can talk about it. I said I would insert it for them, but my grandpa refused and asked me not to bother him..."
Hongyu knew as soon as she heard that Si Qi had also hit a wall. Si Qi was very popular among Wang Shanbao, but he didn't expect that he also hit a wall. It seemed that something important was indeed happening.
As soon as the news was passed back to Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng became even more curious. What could have caused Jia She and Feng Ziying to talk for so long, and Wang Shan was asked to guard the door and not even Siqi was allowed in. This was so strange. .
Wang Xifeng had an intuition that with Jia She's temperament, if it had nothing to do with money, he would definitely not be so interested in it. But if it was related to money, and Jia She could intervene, he might not be able to ask about it.
"Ping'er, go and guard the gate. If Uncle Feng wants to go out, tell him that I have something to do with him." Thinking of all the tricks that day, her rouge cheeks were about to shoot, and a red rose was about to melt, Wang Xifeng said. I was so moved that I couldn't help but tighten my body.
