Chapter 348: The Eldest Lady's Temper
Diao Shigui and Hua Deguan's chief flag officials are only the size of sesame mung beans in the capital where the crown is gathered, but they are the masters of the Jinyi Wei in the capital from their grandfather's generation, and they are familiar with the three religions and nine streams of the neighborhood market, what kind of ruffians and hooligans, gambling stall shopkeepers, bustards in the courtyard, low-grade eunuchs, and even the long-term entourage, porter, and little second master of the mansion of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, there is no one they don't know.
Mrs. You Seventh is the chief housekeeper of Zhang Juzheng's mansion, and Yao Baye's name is Yao Kuang, who was originally the long-term follower of Zhang Juzheng's side, and has recently been promoted to steward.
As the saying goes, the prime minister's family has seven officials, Zhang Juzheng is in charge of the dynasty alone, and he regards himself as a regent, so how can the servants be more than seven grades? You Qi and Yao Ba leaned against the big tree with their backs, and the momentum was tilted towards China and the world, and all the officials were vying to stammer, asking them to speak well in front of Zhang Juzheng, so they were promoted and got fat and shortage.
With the ability of Diao Shigui and Hua Deguan, they dare to blow and recognize Yao Ba, as for You Qi, they know that they are powerful, and they don't even dare to blow, so as not to blow the cowhide and suffer from it.
Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali were a little unhappy, knowing that these two were here to ridicule Qin Lin, as the Shangguan of Jinyitang, they couldn't even stammer the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they had to point to the two small general flags under them to introduce, where did this face go?
On the surface, the partial-born family wanted to introduce you to him, but there was nothing to refute him, so he had to stuff himself in his stomach and get angry.
Qin Lin pretended to be more honest than ever, and said happily: "Ah, it's really lucky!" Thanks to Commander Feng for appointing two such capable subordinates for his own officer, otherwise he would really not be able to find a way. Then, please ask the two substitutes for the official and that Yao Ba, or You Qi to talk about it, and arrange for the official to pay homage to Zhang Xiangye! ”
Diao Shigui and Hua Deguan almost didn't bite their tongues, the two looked at each other, they really didn't expect Qin Lin to be so thick-skinned, take other people's ridicule seriously, and climb up the pole! Moreover, and the wind is not afraid of flashing his tongue, You Qi and Yao Ba's screams, and they want people to arrange for him to pay homage to Zhang Xiangye, you should be Xiangye is the land lord in the broken temple, you can see it if you want to?
But the cowhide had already been blown out, and when he took it back, Qin Lin saw the joke, helplessly, Diao Shigui looked around, found a familiar doorman, and bowed with a smile: "Brother Zhao, our chief wants to worship Eighth Master Yao, you see ......"
"Oh, Brother Diao's orders, dare the little brother disobey?" Brother Zhao's expression was not as cold as he was at the beginning of the fat man Lu, and he was full of smiles, just when Diao Shigui was secretly proud, he changed his words again: "It's a pity that it's unfortunate that Zhang Xianggong hasn't come back from the palace, and our Eighth Master Yao is with him, and he is not in the mansion at this time." ”
Diao Shigui was inevitably a little disappointed, but Menzi's attitude had already made him feel that he had more face than Qin Lin, and came back with a smile: "Commander Qin, it's not that we don't do our best, it's really unfortunate, Eighth Master Yao is not in the mansion, or, will you come back next time?" ”
Hua Deguan smiled next to him with a toothache, next time we will not introduce you to you, you wait to eat the closed door! Gentlemen have been mixed on the ground of the capital for decades, and you have seen a lot of young and vigorous provincial veterans like you, so if you don't ask you to touch a few more nails, you don't know how deep and shallow the capital is!
Qin Lin just smiled indifferently, took a step forward, and took the initiative to hold hands with the old Zhao on the door, "This old brother Zhao is right?" In the lower Jinyi guard, the commander Qin Lin ......"
"Open your mouth is the elder brother, who are you?" Lao Zhao didn't give any face, so he was about to break away, but then his eyes widened, his mouth opened, his throat gurgled, and his face was full of laughter.
It turned out that Qin Lin's hand was caged in his sleeve, and he sent it over as soon as he didn't know it, and then he said with a smile: "Please go in and say to the housekeeper, and the old man who is boating on a moonlit night with Jing Xiu and Mao Xiu has arrived." ”
No way! When Diao Shigui and Hua Deguan saw Qin Lin's hand, they almost snorted: Where is this stunned green from other provinces? "Nothing in the sleeve" is perfect, and the old slippery head who has been trained in officialdom for decades is nothing more than that.
As for what kind of old people, it is naturally nonsense, which one came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay homage to the relationship that was not a long and west-talking?
Lao Zhao also smiled slightly, shook the horse's hooves and pressed his heavy hands, and secretly said that this official was sensible, so he smiled and told him to wait for a while and go in by himself.
Qin Lin paced around the stone steps quite leisurely, and reached out with great interest to touch the two big stone lions in front of the Xiangfu, others didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, many menzi, Jinyi captains, guests waiting to see him, and even Diao Shigui and Hua Deguan were waiting to see his jokes.
One trick in his sleeves to get the doorman Lao Zhao, but the housekeeper is not so easy to speak, look at this brocade official did not bring any cages, boxes, and big yellow and white things, with the position of a mere four-grade brocade clothes, how can it be so easy to see the first person in the Ming Dynasty? I'm afraid I can't even make friends with the stewards of the house!
didn't wait long, and suddenly a middle-aged man wearing a dark gold ball filigree cotton robe ran out and scolded Lao Zhao while running: "What did the dog [***] tell you?" If a brocade servant surnamed Qin comes, tell us quickly...... It turned out to be good, and I almost told people to eat the closed door, hmph, your ears are all up to your butts? ”
The doormen, the captain on duty, and the guests who were waiting to see them, their eyes fell to the ground with a bang, for no other reason, this middle-aged man who was out of breath was the chief butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the famous You Qi Taiye!
How good is You Qi? He is not only the big butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also the middleman between Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, there will be storms and thunderstorms when he makes a move, and Feng Bao's family slave, Xu Jue, who was in charge of thousands of households in Dongchang at the time, is on an equal footing, the little eunuchs in the palace, and the officials in the court are enthusiastic to associate with him, calling each other brothers, and the ministers of the first and second grades see him, and they all politely call You Qi a virtuous brother or "Mr. Chu Bin", and even the border generals have taken the initiative to worship him.
It's just that this prime minister's housekeeper, Mr. Chu Bin, ran sweating profusely in order to see the little four-grade brocade clothes, lest he be sluggish!
You Qi has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, his eyes are very vicious, and he saw Qin Lin at a glance, wiped his sweat, and smiled to the ground: "This is Commander Qin?" The small one is the Xiangfu family slave You Seven. Oh, the boys on the door look down on people, don't worry about them on your small face, come on, come on, serve tea inside, and wait for me to go in and report to the two sons and young ladies. ”
When Lao Zhao saw this situation, his soul was almost frightened, and he hurriedly cried with a sad face, and repeatedly pleaded before returning the ingot of horseshoe gold to Lu Fatzi - he didn't dare to return it to Qin Lin in person, and was seen by the seventh master of You so snubbing the distinguished guest, afraid that he would not break his two legs?
Qin Lin smiled bitterly and touched his nose, the two sons are easy to meet, but the young lady is a little difficult to meet...... I had no choice but to report this relationship and couldn't see Zhang Juzheng, so I had to sit in the side hall next to the gatehouse according to You Qi's arrangement.
This treatment is different, seven or eight men all came to serve tea and pour water, soaked the best Lu'an melon slices, melon seeds, peanuts and candied dim sum, and served the tea.
At the same time, Diao Shigui and Hua Deguan stared at each other with big eyes, and slipped away in despair.
"Lao Diao, why do I feel a little weak in my legs?"
"Lao Hua, my head is dizzy."
Both of them wondered what the relationship between this chief and the Prime Minister was, and could make the hot Master You Qi serve him like a slave? That's weird, isn't it? His father-in-law, Wei Guogong, can be said to have no power in Beijing, and it is impossible to make the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion so groveling!
"I'm afraid that Commander Qin and Commander Feng are going to have a dragon fight," Diao Shigui said thoughtfully, and unconsciously replaced "surnamed Qin", "Tu Lao Mao", and "stunned Qing" with "Commander Qin".
Suddenly, someone behind him greeted: "Two brothers, haven't you seen you for a long time?" Please stay. ”
Looking back, it was the Cui steward of Emperor Li's family, and Li Wei, Wu Qingbo, was the father of the Empress Dowager Li, who was the father of the Empress Dowager Li, and in the past few years since Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, Wu Qingbo's mansion was also a smash hit in Beijing.
Diao Shigui and Hua Deguan didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly bowed to this person and asked him what he meant.
Steward Cui made a gesture: "There is a noble person who wants to meet the two, please come with me." ”
The steward of Wuqingbo's Mansion must be called nobles, Diao and Hua dare not disobey, and honestly follow Steward Cui, just walked into the alley, and suddenly lost consciousness with a pain on the top of his head.
After the two of them were woken up by the cold water, they were in a dimly lit room, and just as they wanted to move, seven or eight cold lights flickered, and the cold sword blade was on their necks.
Someone forced the originally sharp voice and said in a rough voice: "Don't move, if you move, you will die!" ”
The voice is somewhat like a woman pretending to be a man, or ...... Eunuch?
A hoarse voice with a magnetic surname, but with a different tone, came from the darkness: "Ask you something, answer honestly, there is a lie, send you back to the yin immediately!" ”
Diao and Hua were so frightened that they were sweating like pulp, knowing that they had met a character they couldn't afford to provoke, they looked over there in fear, only to see a pair of round, shiny eyes, staring at them in the dark.
"The little ones don't dare to lie, what the nobles want to ask, the little ones know everything and say everything."
"How did you talk to the surnamed Qin just now?"
It turned out to be for the Qin Command and the Prime Minister's Affairs! Diao Shigui was half relieved, and hurriedly told him in detail about what had just happened.
When the man heard this, he became a little angry: "You Qi is talking about informing the two sons and young ladies?" ”
"That's true, I don't have half a lie!" Diao Shigui and Hua Deguan swore by the heavens and the earth.
With a wave of the man's hand, Diao Shigui's heart was cold, and he was hit the head again, and he fainted.
The lights turned on, Xu Xinyi and Miss Xu's cheeks puffed out, and her plump lips pursed: "Hmph, sure enough, I'm going to meet the daughter of the Prime Minister again......"
Murderous!
The female soldiers looked at each other, and finally pointed at Diao and Hua and asked, "Miss, what about these two?" ”
"Beat it and throw it away!" Xu Xinyi crossed Xiao Man's waist with both hands, and kicked the two dead dogs on the ground a few times as he paced: "Hmph, want to bully Qin Lin?" It's so damning! ”
The female soldiers led by the sword all grinned: What is the young lady facing Chief Qin?
"What are you laughing at?" Miss Xu's apricot eyes widened, and she said angrily: "Qin Lin is my husband, only Miss Ben can bully, anyone else wants to bully him, no way!" ”
