After returning to the courtyard next door, Qin Nianbai began to have trouble again, she did not discuss with He Yan in advance, but used such a means to get the right to be a housekeeper, if He Yan knew, would he be angry?

She was thinking about it when there was a sound of footsteps outside, and He Yan hurried over.

"What's wrong? In a hurry, Xiaoqing quickly poured a cup of tea for the general to moisten his throat! Qin Nianbai saw that He Yan was in a hurry, his face was wrong, and he asked anxiously.

He Yan took her hand and sighed, "There is an urgent report from the border, the displaced people are everywhere, bandits are rampant, the enemy army is eager to try, the emperor asked me to enter the palace, it is to discuss this matter, but the court situation is unstable, and I am also lacking skills!" ”

Qin Nianbai's heart sank, is the turmoil in the previous life coming?

"Does the emperor mean that you want to go to the border to quell the rebellion, or stay in the capital?" She asked, a little worried.

He Yan hugged her into his arms and said firmly: "The conclusion is still inconclusive, don't worry, no matter what happens, your husband will protect you!" ”

Qin Nianbai's heart felt warm, and she leaned on He Yan's arms with peace of mind, it was the first time she was so worried about He Yan's comfort, whether He Yan went to the border to fight or stayed in the capital, he would become the target of everyone!

"That's right, which, I'm going to have someone tear down the courtyard wall, and the two courtyards will become one, and my mother will give me the key to the right card......" Qin Nianbai said tentatively with a little weakness.

He Yan's expression was slightly stunned, and then he relaxed, "With you guarding at home, I can rest assured, my mother is old, I should take a good rest, and I will send some elite guards to guard the house!" ”

Qin Nianbai was puzzled, "You believe me?" ”

He Yan kissed her on the cheek, "I believe you whenever and wherever I am!" ”

Hearing He Yan's gentle voice, Qin Nianbai was at a loss for a while, his little face was flushed shyly, and his heart was already full of flowers.

And in He Liu's courtyard, she soon received a notice from He Yan that she didn't have to go to the meditation nunnery, and if there was a mistake in the future, she would not be spared!

……

In the cabinet of the teahouse, Qin Nianqing lowered her head shyly, Zhang Quanzheng sat opposite her, and said nice things and gave gold and silver jewelry.

"Did you hear what Heyunas revealed?" Zhang Quan stretched his neck and asked Qin Nianqing carefully.

Qin Nianqing wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, proudly, "Zhang Gongzi, I have already inquired about the news you want, don't forget what you promised me!" ”

"My heart!" Zhang Quan came over and hugged Qin Nianqing, and put his face next to her ear, "I will marry you as a lady and never break my word!" ”

Qin Nianqing's heart was already beating, a picture had flashed in her heart, Zhang Quan carried her into Zhang's house in front of the whole capital, and even the concubine came to congratulate her in person, that scene was not grand!

"I ......" Qin Nianqing was just about to tell Zhang Quan what he heard from He Yu's mouth, but Zhang Quan made a gesture not to speak yet.

Zhang Quan helped Qin Nianqing up and walked towards the wide curtain, which was the big red mattress that Zhang Quan had ordered someone to prepare a long time ago.

Qin Nianqing was even more shy, and the two put down the curtain and took off their clothes......

After finishing the matter, Zhang Quan hugged Qin Nianqing, saying gentle words in his mouth, but his eyes were sinister and cunning.

"Thoughts, for the sake of our future, you have to help me go to He to keep an eye on it, what is your brother-in-law doing, you must report to me one by one......"

Qin Nianqing had already been carried away by Zhang Quan, and she had the idea of being willing to die for Zhang Quan, and she nodded in agreement.

After Qin Nianqing left, Zhang Quan went to another private room.

"Third cousin, I have good news for you, how can you and your aunt thank me?" Zhang Quan opened the folding fan and sat down cynically.

The man on the opposite side had a cold face, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Hmph, don't worry, when I ascend the throne, you will naturally be indispensable!" ”

Zhang Quan leaned close to the man's ear and whispered what Qin Nianqing said to him.

This person is Zhao Jue, the third prince of Concubine Zhang.

The third prince's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he laughed, "Haha, wonderful! Immediately let people arrange the deployment, be sure to get rid of He Yan, as for the He family, if they don't know how to be interested, they will send someone to destroy it secretly! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Quan replied insidiously.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, Zhao Jue asked people to see what was going on, and the person who came back said, "Back to the master, it seems that the one who took the lead in making trouble is the uncle of the He family, and he owes the teahouse wine money......"

Zhao Jue sneered, this sixth-grade petty official seems to have dropped to an eighth-grade now, and he can't even enter the court!

He seems to have spoken for himself, he is cowardly and incompetent, greedy for pleasure, and he can't make the climate, otherwise he is He Yan's brother, but he can use it.

"Settle the matter immediately and bring Uncle He here!" Zhao Jue waved his hand and said.

After a while, He Meng followed Xiao Si to the private room, and when he saw the third prince, he was so frightened that he didn't stand firm, and fell hard, "Three, see the third highness!" ”

Zhang Quan smiled and helped him up, "Uncle He, you stand firm, Your Royal Highness is not a man-eating tiger, what are you afraid of?" ”

He Meng touched the sweat on his forehead, and bowed again before saying words of thanks.

Zhao Jue said deliberately: "This prince hasn't seen Lord He in the court in the past few days, I don't know if you are on sick leave or ......"

"Don't you know, after making the eight-grade master book, I was transferred to the suburbs of Beijing, and it is rare to go back to the city! Otherwise, I will say hello to you! ”

He Meng nodded and said.

He spoke for the three princes before, and he was rewarded by the three princes, which made him a lot more famous among his colleagues, and he showed off his power for a long time.

Who knows, the third prince never summoned him again, even if he came to the door with gifts, he was rejected by the housekeeper of the third prince, and gradually, everyone also said that he wanted to climb high!

Now the shop in his hand has been taken away by He Yan, and he has also been demoted, and the villains who flattered him before have also ridden up one by one!

The third prince deliberately said: "What you did as an official can be regarded as doing your best, why don't you rise but descend?" General He has been promoted all the way, why didn't he promote you, the elder brother? ”

As soon as He Yan was mentioned, He Meng was furious, "Third Highness, that beast is no longer my brother!" I have today, and it was all caused by him! ”

The third prince was very satisfied with He Meng's performance, and it seemed that he was still somewhat useful.

said: "There are not many upright officials like you in the court, find a time, let my mother concubine go to the emperor to intercede, and then promote you back to the sixth grade!" ”

He Meng was naturally grateful to He, and when Zhang Quan sent him out, he said with a smile: "It's not okay to thank His Highness just with his mouth, His Royal Highness is investigating the case of forming a party and running a private business in the DPRK and China, and there is news that General He is also involved...... Your Highness means to ask you to ......"

The latter words, Zhang lowered his voice and said to He Meng's ear.

He Meng was stunned, if he had been released before, he would have to rely on He Yan's light to live, and he wouldn't dare to do this if he was killed, but now, only the third prince is relied on!

"You let Your Highness rest assured, I will do it!" He Meng said and left!

The next day, Qin Nianbai was sorting out the account books with Xu Qiaoer, and the courtyard next door was under the management of He Liu's family, and the accounts were chaotic, and none of them were clear!

"It's all rotten! Forget it, leave it alone! Qin Nianbai threw the account book aside, called Caihuan and asked, "Have you called all the people in charge of the courtyard next door?" ”

Caihuan said: "Mrs. Hui, they are all waiting in the courtyard, but they are all people who came out of the old lady's side, don't we really replace them?" ”

Qin Nianbai secretly investigated, most of the old mothers in charge of the affairs have only entered the He Mansion in recent years, and they are also well-behaved, as for the many holes in the accounts, most of them are done by people around their good mother-in-law!

"Take these ledgers out and bring a stove by the way!" Qin Nianbai got up and said.

The original partition wall has been torn down, and the two houses have been merged into one, making the yard more spacious.

The maids and maids in the two courtyards, and the housekeeper's mother all stood together.

Old Mrs. He Liu's original courtyard, when she saw Qin Nianbai coming from this side of the corridor, she lowered her head in fear one by one.

Mrs. Tai sued the second lady in front of the queen mother, and the family still came back intact, and also took the right of the He family's housekeeper, they can't think about what kind of magical means this second lady has!

Qin Nianbai sat on the right seat, "After the two courtyards, it will be a family, I will treat you all the same rewards and punishments, you are also the old man in the He Mansion, the rules are correct, I don't need to say it!" You didn't care where you were before, and if something went wrong, I'll replace it! ”

She beckoned Caihuan to move the account book to the front, and the mothers in charge of the account trembled with fear when they saw this momentum, this is to clean them up!

"The account books in the house are all here, and I have checked every single one!" Qin Nianbai picked up one of the ledgers and said.

A few housekeepers were so frightened that they didn't stand firm, and knelt down directly.

"Second lady, spare your life...... The old slave didn't dare to ......" The chief housekeeper took the lead in begging for mercy from his mother, and there were several kneeling behind her.

Qin Nianbai asked the maid to help them all up.

Just when everyone didn't know why, the second wife asked the stove next to them to light it, and then burned all the ledgers.

Qin Nianbai smiled, "The previous accounts are all here, if there is still this kind of account in the future......"

"The minions must be loyal to the second lady, and they don't dare to make mistakes!" The leader said loudly to his mother, and the people behind him also knelt down together to thank the second lady for her kindness.

And all of this was completely told by Mrs. Chen to Mrs. He Liu in the main house!

"Mother, didn't you say that if you send those bad debts to that slut, she will punish her subordinates and lose people's hearts, why didn't she punish her!" He Liu frowned and looked at Mrs. Tai, who was holding the Buddhist beads and chanting.

Mrs. Tai stopped chanting, her face was extremely ugly, this slut did not go as she expected in advance!

She comforted her daughter and said, "Don't be afraid, your mother will not let her have a good time!" Tomorrow, in my name, let people post and invite Mrs. Sun Guo, Mrs. Taishi, and Mrs. Shangzhuguo to hold a banquet in He Mansion the day after tomorrow! ”

These people were also considered good sisters of Mrs. Tai back then, even after all these years, her fate is still there, and no one will brush her face!
