"Are you a son inheriting his father's business?" Zhao Ruxi asked again.

Guan Jian'an looked at Zhao Ruxi in surprise, not knowing why she knew about it.

He replied honestly, "Yes." Fifteen years ago, a murderer was sentenced to death, and the murderer's younger brother rushed into the yamen to kill people. At that time, the situation was critical, and the officials did not react, and my father was a prisoner at the time, and he was standing beside Lord Zhizhou and several officials, dying to protect them. ”

"Lord Zhizhou saw that my family was in trouble after my father's death, and my twin siblings were only five years old, and my mother was not in good health, so he let the villain enter the yamen in place of his father. Because of this situation, even if the villain is not in good health, the chiefs are not harsh on me, and they have always let the villain stay in the yamen. ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded and asked, "Is your mother okay now?" ”

"Well, thank you for your concern. My sister got married, and my younger brother got married. The villain's family is doing quite well. Guan Jian'an said.

"That's good."

Zhao Ruxi turned to Qin Wang.

Qin Wang swallowed nervously.

"Qin Wang, where is your family? How old is this year? How many people are in the family? How did you get into the yamen, and how long have you been on an errand in the yamen? Zhao Ruxi asked.

"I, I...... Uh, villain, villain is sixteen years old, family of seven, grandfather, grandmother, parents, and three brothers, I am the oldest, the eldest. ”

Qin Wang said, wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, calmed down, and his language was a little smoother than just now: "My father is the chief, and he begged the master of the yamen to let me enter the yamen on an errand." Just a few days after I was on an errand, I was going to patrol the streets with a few errand brothers, but I just returned to the yamen when I was called over. ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded and looked at the two of them: "I sent you over, and I didn't ask your opinion when I wanted to." Now I give you a choice. If you don't want to follow me, just say it, and I'll ask Lord Liu to send me two more; If you are willing, then you must do your best to do what I command, and you must not be perfunctory, you must not be treacherous, and you must not deceive and betray. ”

"Once I find out that you have made a mistake, I will punish you at the least, or I will directly ask you to leave the yamen, and then you will not be able to become a official or a servant. So you have decided whether to follow me or not. ”

With that, she fell silent, looking at the two of them, waiting for their reply, obviously not intending to give them time to think about it.

When Qin Wang heard "leave the yamen", he was immediately frightened, and looked at Guan Jian'an at a loss.

Guan Jian'an was much calmer, and as soon as Zhao Ruxi's words fell, he arched his hand and said: "If the adult doesn't think the villain is weak and sickly, he has to ask for leave from time to time, and he can't do anything, and the villain is willing to follow the adult." ”

When Qin Wang saw it, he seemed to have found the backbone, and he also arched his hand in the same way: "The villain is also willing to follow the adult." ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since I asked this, I naturally won't dislike the two of you." ”

She changed her tone and said, "Since you have all said that you are willing to follow me, then I have one thing for the two of you to do now." I have discussed with Lord Liu and Lord Cai just now, and Lord Cai will move the files and accounts of Nanyang's salt and grain to me to see, you can go to Lord Cai now, and let them find out the files and accounts, and you will move them over. ”

As she said this, she paid attention to the demeanor of the two of them.

I saw that Guan Jian'an heard that Lord Cai would give information, and showed a look of surprise; When he heard Zhao Ruxi tell them to go to Master Cai, his brows furrowed.

And Qin Wang was very serious when he listened to Zhao Ruxi's speech, and after listening to it, he had an expression of "getting orders", obviously because he didn't understand the entanglements and acting styles of the yamen officials at all.

Zhao Ruxi said: "What do you have to say?" ”

Guan Jian'an said: "My lord, I'm afraid this matter won't go very well." The most core files and accounts, Lord Cai probably won't give them out. ”

Only then did Qin Wang know how difficult things were, and a panicked look appeared on his face.

It took a lot of effort and a lot of money for his family to stuff him into the yamen. If he had been returned for so many days, he would not have been able to face his family at all.

But he still has some emotional intelligence, and although he is very panicked, he does not say anything to back down.

Because his father once taught him that the old officials are very powerful. When he needs to make a decision and can't make up his mind, it depends on what the old officials do, just follow the smart ones among them.

Now he doesn't know that Guan Jian'an Cong is not smart. But if you can stay in the yamen for more than ten years, you must still have the ability. Since Guan Jian'an feels that he can follow Lord Zhao, then he must be right to follow him.

Therefore, he kept his head down and did not make a sound.

"I said, you do your best. I have the ability to do it beautifully, and I have a reward. Zhao Ruxi said lightly.

Guan Jian'an immediately said: "Yes, the villain will do his best." ”

Qin Wang also hurriedly said the same thing.

Zhao Ruxi's face showed a slight smile.

She pointed to her three subordinates and introduced: "This is my housekeeper Zhou Chun, this is the guard Xiang Ming, and this is Mama Luo." In the future, if you have something to do, if it is inconvenient to look for me, look for the three of them and say the same. After a while, if there are too many files and accounts and you can't move them, you can ask Xiang Ming to help you move them. ”

"Yes." The two answered.

"Alright, you guys go about your errands."

Guan Jian'an and Qin Wang hurriedly saluted and retired.

Zhao Ruxi looked at the backs of the two of them, his face full of thought.

Out of the corridor and down the steps, Guan Jian'an was about to walk towards the east chamber when he saw Qin Wang following him like a little tail.

He stopped under the tree and frowned, "Why do you keep following me?" ”

Zhao Ruxi is an official, he is an official, Qin Wang is a servant, level by level, with clear levels of identity, suppressed step by step, and each has its own barriers.

Therefore, even if Qin Wang obeyed Zhao Ruxi's orders with him, the two of them had different identities and did different things.

"I ......" Qin Wang was a little dazed.

He scratched his head: "I don't know where to move the files and accounts, so I have to follow you, Brother Guan." ”

Saying that, he xt.xyz looked at Guan Jian'an meaningfully.

For this newcomer, Guan Jian'an is very helpless.

Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Actually, you should have refused just now." It's not easy for your family to let you in to do this servant, and it's not good for you to get involved in the game of a few adults. ”

"Huh?" Qin Wang's eyes widened.

He pointed at Guan Jian'an: "I saw that you agreed just now, so I agreed." As for what kind of game, I don't know. ”

He scratched his head with a sad face: "What should I do then?" ”

Guan Jian'an sighed, patted Qin Wang's shoulder and said, "But since I have agreed, it is too late to regret it." Okay, you'll follow me in the future. ”
