Chapter 135: Helping Each Other (Pink Ticket 1200 Plus Update)
Back in Wanxiangju, Zhou Shaojin called Fan Qi over.
"I have something important for you to do!" She said solemnly, "But you can tell anyone about this matter, even your mother, and you can't say it." And you have to go far away. But if it is done, I will reward you not only with two hundred taels of silver, but also with ten acres of fine paddy fields. Do you dare to go? β
Zhou Shaojin also thought about raising the reward, but he was afraid that it would be too high to scare Fan Qi. But just like that, Fan Qi still looked at her dumbfounded, and it took a while to come back to her senses.
Two hundred taels of silver is enough for her mother to support her in the old age, and ten acres of high-quality water is enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life. What's more, he was originally a servant of the Zhou family, and it was his duty to be an errand for the second lady...... He didn't think about it, and immediately responded: "One qiΔ is sent by the second lady." β
Zhou Shaojin sighed.
Fortunately, Fan Qi agreed, otherwise she really didn't know who to send to do this.
She asked Fan Qi to close the door and spoke to him in a low voice: "I want you to go to the capital, the eldest lady, I will say that you have something to go back to your hometown, Fan's mother, what good excuse do you have?" β
Fan Qi is young, and he doesn't have a serious errand, so he won't attract too much attention when he is not in the house for a while.
And Fan Qi didn't expect Zhou Shaojin to let him go to the capital, he was both excited and looking forward, and hurriedly said: "Or just say that you want to buy a few acres of water and let me go back to the countryside to inquire?" β
"That's a good excuse." Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "When the time comes, my water mu will be written in your name, and my sister will not be suspicious." Then he complimented him, "You've got a great brain!" β
Fan Qi laughed.
Zhou Shaojin said: "I will ask someone to escort you all the way to the capital, but there is one case, don't let those who escort you into the capital know what you are going to do." After you arrived in the capital, you found the Hushangshu Hutong of Zhengyifang, the third from east to west, surnamed Mu, the lord was the master of the Ministry of Rites, and he had three daughters. The eldest daughter, Xu was married to the eldest son of the Lin family in an alley in Zhengrenfang. You go and inquire about what the Mu family and the Lin family are like now. And then...... Find a way to find a Taoist priest or a monk who places orders, just say that the eldest daughter of the Mu family has a catastrophe when she is seventeen years old, which will affect her parents and younger siblings, if she can marry before the age of seventeen, not only will the Mu family turn evil into good fortune, but also the husband's family will be prosperous and the heirs prosperous. β
Although Lin Shisheng is an only son, he is not a broken household without rules. If she hadn't agreed, and there was no movement after marrying, Lin Shisheng also bought a Lang Zhong from You Fang to take her pulse, swearing that she could not be pregnant, and the Lin family would not agree to Lin Shisheng's concubine at all.
Now she has thought of this way to let the Mu family marry their daughter to Lin Shisheng as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a report and a report.
Fan Qi was dumbfounded, how could he think about it and feel that something was wrong.
Listening to the second lady's words, it is to fulfill the eldest lady of the Mu family. But this is a good thing, why did the second lady sneak around? Is there anything in this that he doesn't know? He is very willing to help the second lady run errands, but if the second miss wants to hurt someone, then he ...... How can I persuade you!
"W-is this going to work?" Fan Qi stumbled and said, "Wouldn't it be that there is something wrong with the eldest lady of the Mu family?" β
"The eldest lady of the Mu family is fine, what's wrong?" Zhou Shaojin said unhappily, "You just have to do what I say." β
Even if the Mu family and the Lin family were suspicious, after the Wuxu Imperial Examination fraud case occurred, they would no longer doubt it in their hearts.
In their previous lives, Zhou Shaojin and Aunt Mu got along well.
Aunt Mu wanted to be wronged for her father.
In her words, her father was completely wronged.
At that time, the chief examiner and deputy examiner leaked the exam questions, but in the end, they slapped the board on the specific person.
Whether it's true or not, as long as Miss Mu marries into the Lin family, the lawsuit of the Mu family has nothing to do with her, and with Lin Shisheng's ability and skills, she can use money to redeem Aunt Mu's mother, two sisters and a younger brother as in-laws.
Zhou Shaojin instructed Fan Qi carefully: "You let the giver put you at the Yuelai Inn near Chaoyang Gate." You stay in the inn for two days first, walk around, and take this opportunity to quietly inquire about where the Mu family and the Lin family live. Then find a way to move to the Gaosheng Inn near an alley in Zhengrenfang, not far from there, there is a Shangqing Palace...... Although the place is small, there are often Taoist priests from Wutai Mountain and Jiuhua Mountain who place orders there...... I'll give you five hundred taels of silver to take with you...... I want to find the kind of monk who eats and coaxes, and makes up a story about Lord Mu beating mandarin ducks, so that others think that the Lin family entrusted someone to do this game...... Don't feel sorry for the silver, as long as you get it done, it's worth it. β
Fan Qi couldn't stop nodding, but the suspicion in his heart became bigger and bigger.
Second Miss, you shouldn't have been to the capital, right?
But she is so familiar with the capital, and even what restaurants are near Mu's house and inns near Lin's house are clear......
He couldn't help but say, "Second Miss, how do you know everything?" Is the Mu family a relative to you or is the Lin family a relative to you? Are you helping them? β
Zhou Shaojin was slightly stunned, and said: "The Lin and Mu families are my relatives, but my mother's relatives ......."
Her tone was ominous, but Fan Qi looked suddenly enlightened, and said busily: "I know, I know." Guarantee that no one will sue sΓΉ. β
Zhou Shaojin didn't expect him to promise not to say it for the rest of his life, but he put this matter in his heart for two or three years, and when Aunt Mu married Lin Shisheng, it didn't matter if he didn't say it.
Anyway, everything she wanted was done.
The silver ticket prepared by Zhou Shaojin in advance was put in a purse and given to Fan Qi: "You can find a way to divide it, it is estimated that someone will send you to the capital in the next few days." β
Fan Qi carefully put the lotus bud close to his body, got up and walked out of the study.
Zhou Shaojin sat in the study, pondered what he said to Fan Qi for a long time, and felt that there were no big loopholes, so he sighed and went to the banquet room.
In her current banquet room, there is a bookcase on the left, a clothes case on the right, and there are still purple and red silk satin, Zhangrong muslin, and purse on the hanger on the floor, and there is an embroidered bandage next to it, which is very messy, but it is also very warm.
Zhou Shaojin was going to make two forehead handkerchiefs for Mrs. Guan.
Last time on Mrs. Guo's birthday, she listened to Mrs. Guan's advice and gave two handkerchiefs to Mrs. Guo as a birthday gift. Although Mrs. Guan didn't say anything, when she took it to show Mrs. Guan, Mrs. Guan rubbed it for a while before letting go. Obviously I like it.
This time, she embroidered the pattern of the gourd vase and the crane fruit, and chose cyan and lilac materials.
It's just that she just painted the pattern of the gourd vase, and the Spring Festival Gala walked in: "Second Miss, there is a little maid, who said that she was from Xiaoshan Cong Guiyuan, and she was ordered by the girl to invite the girl to drink tea!" β
Zhou Shaojin was surprised and said, "Now?" β
"It should be now, right?" The Spring Festival Gala was not sure, and said, "That little girl has been waiting outside!" β
Zhou Shaojin walked out to take a look, and she was really a little girl.
She wore a bright red silk than her armor, which was not as tall as her desk.
No wonder the word can't be passed on clearly!
She grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to the little maid, and led the little maid to the courtyard of the hill.
As soon as Ji Hotaru saw her, he complained: "What do you say your uncle thinks?" It's not that there is no silver, but it's like a chicken and a rooster, and even a girl boy is reluctant to buy it, and I can't find someone to talk to. He added, "Minghe got married, but he didn't add anyone." Who will do it in this house in the future? β
Zhou Shaojin said: "Could it be because Uncle Chi thinks he will go back to live in the algae garden sooner or later?" β
Ji Yingleng snorted and said: "Zaoyuan is less than this person, except for the two couples guarding the door, that is, a couple in charge of flowers and trees, one in charge, four servants, and two maids. The last time Nanping came back and said that the ashes in the house were piled up into a mountain, and if no one was found to clean it properly, those furniture or something would only have to be repainted. β
Zhou Shaojin said curiously: "In this case, what did he buy a separate hospital for?" β
"Hell knows." Ji Hotaru said, "I haven't been there, who knows what is hidden there?" Then he took Zhou Shaojin's hand and went to the inner room, "I have something to tell you." β
It should be a matter of escorting Fan Qi to the capital!
Zhou Shaojin's heart was pounding, and he ordered Shi Xiang to stay at the door, and went to the inner room with Ji Ying.
Ji Ying closed the door, took out a silver hairpin with a little oil from the jewelry box and handed it to Zhou Shaojin, saying, "I don't ask you what you want to do, you take this silver hairpin, send someone to find a big guy surnamed Wang in the rice shop, and just tell him." β
"Hotaru!" Zhou Shaojin took the hairpin, only thinking that the hairpin weighed a thousand catties.
"You said you treated me as a friend," Ji Hotaru laughed, "Don't say anything more." Your uncle is cunning and suspicious, and you will go to the Hanbi Mountain House in the afternoon to copy the scriptures, and then you will have lunch at my place before leaving. You hide this hairpin, don't let the people of the small mountain Cong Guiyuan see it. β
Zhou Shaojin's eyes were a little red, and he hid the hairpin in the placket.
Ji Hotaru smiled and pinched her cheek and said, "It's a pity." If I were still in Cangzhou, I would definitely find a way to trick you into going home and let you marry my cousin as a daughter-in-law. β
Zhou Shaojin's flood of gratitude suddenly disappeared.
She knocked Ji Hotaru's hand off and said, "If you pinch me again, I won't help you in the future." β
Ji Hotaru heard the words and joked: "What did you help me?" Let you make socks, and in the end, I gave you snowballs, and you were discouraged. Ask you to help me copy the "Female Commandment", you said you were not available...... I think I'd better pinch you again. β
Zhou Shaojin covered his face and ran out of the inner room.
Ji Hotaru couldn't help but laugh.
β»
When he went back in the evening, Zhou Shaojin handed the hairpin to Fan Qi.
She asked Fan Qi: "Are you afraid?" β
Fan Qi shook his head high, and said, "I still want to be the chief manager for you?" If you can't do this little thing well, how can you manage such a maid and a little girl in the future? β
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing.
Who knows what will happen to her in the future?
It's always good to have a wish, though.
She told Fan Qi solemnly: "If you feel that the situation is wrong, rush back immediately." You must remember that you are not afraid of running out of firewood. Your life is precious. β
"Second Miss, don't worry. I'll be careful. β
Fan Qi resigned from Zhou Shaojin.
