Zhang Yuanwai sighed, he actually didn't expect Shen Xiucai to understand this matter directly.

I had no choice but to spread it out and tell him: "This Lord Qi from above seems to want to make a fuss about my brother's previous affairs. Originally, my brother wrote a letter in the capital, saying that he wanted to avoid the limelight during this time. After the limelight passed, he performed diligently in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty had a good impression of him before, and as long as things passed smoothly, he could still be promoted. It's just that if the old thing is turned over again, it won't necessarily be true. ”

Shen Xiucai didn't expect the matter to be so serious, but he was a showman, and he hadn't seen any big scenes, so how did he know how to deal with it? I had to rely on my own cognition and racked my brains to share the worries of Zhang Yuan.

"Will it ...... Could it be that the adult wants some benefits, but it is inconvenient to say it directly? Shen Xiucai said.

Zhang Yuanwai's eyes lit up, and he felt that what he said made some sense, and said tentatively: "I don't know what that adult is better about, why don't you just send some silver to try?" But how much silver is the right amount to give?"

"Or, sir, will you send a thousand taels first?" Shen Xiucai remembered the sum of money that Shen Wangxin gave to Zhang Yaozu, and he had an idea.

Although these pieces of silver were not much in front of the officials from the capital, looking at Zhang Yaozu's reaction, the amount of silver was obviously in his eyes. So, Shen Xiucai had a ruler in his heart. Guess that this thousand taels or so is the threshold for entry, if you give it less, it will anger the adult, but the gain will outweigh the loss.

"Ho! So many! Zhang Yuanwai was startled.

Although it is only a thousand taels of silver, it is actually nothing for the Zhang family, which has a big business. But after all, it's a thousand taels of silver, and it's not a hundred taels, can he not be heartbroken? Although their Zhang family has a lot of money, it is not blown by a strong wind, and asking him for so much silver at once is tantamount to cutting his flesh!

Shen Xiucai couldn't help but persuade: "Master, don't be busy feeling distressed first." The eldest lord is an official in the capital, and there are not many eyes and ears around him, and it is not so convenient if he wants to move. Now it happens that this Lord Qi is in our Yuqing County, if we don't help the eldest master, who else can help the eldest master? Let's take this thousand taels to probe the tone of Lord Qi, if it really happens, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly helping the eldest master? ”

In these years, we pay attention to both prosperity and loss.

As long as Zhang Yaozu is an official in Beijing, he may promote their entire family at any time. And Zhang Yaozu is Zhang Yuanwai's own brother, if he doesn't help his brother, it really can't be justified. What's more, Zhang Yanyuan's future is still in Zhang Yaozu's hands.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanwai made up his mind, looked at Shen Xiucai and said, "It's still Mr. thoughtful, I'll let the housekeeper pay a thousand taels of silver tickets." When the time comes, please go with Mr. and ask that Lord Qi to be accommodating. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xiucai's face couldn't help but feel a little happy. Zhang Yuanwai not only didn't mean to drive himself away, but he also dragged himself forward for such an important matter.

By involving himself in this, he was pulling himself onto their boat. At that time, everyone will be grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and he won't have to worry about it, he won't be able to make the west seat of Zhangfu.

"Good! When the lord goes, just send someone to my house to give me a word. Whenever I am lying in bed, you have to struggle to get up, and go with the master! Shen Xiucai was busy showing his loyalty.

After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and his face showed an embarrassed look.

"What's the matter, sir?" Zhang Yuan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked with concern.

Although Shen Xiucai is not the best in terms of knowledge, the key is to be lively. In a small county like Yuqing County, it is still very useful. Therefore, it is about Shen Xiucai, and he naturally cares about one or two points.

Shen Xiucai felt that it was difficult to talk about this matter, and the words went around his mouth a few times, and finally slapped his thigh, and sighed: "It's not because of my stupid brother and sister-in-law!" Ever since my eldest niece, who had become unsuccessful, had done such shameless things, I didn't want to care about their family anymore. Unexpectedly, some time ago, they learned that they didn't know what stupid things they had done, and they were punished by Lord Liu for picking up dung in the county. ”

"What? How can such a thing be? At this moment, even Zhang Yuanwai's eyes widened, looking at Shen Xiucai in disbelief, looking at his eyes, it seemed that he doubted the authenticity of Shen Xiucai's words.

Shen Xiucai was helpless, when he first learned the news, why wasn't Zhang Yuanwai's reaction? He also hoped that this matter was not true, and even secretly went to the vicinity of the county government to confirm it, but the facts in front of him could not be denied.

To be honest, he doesn't even dare to go out on the streets now. Because as soon as you go on the street, you may meet old acquaintances in Xitou Village, and after meeting them, you will have to be ridiculed by them.

It's really humiliating for someone in the family to be punished by the county order to pick up dung! He had no doubt that if his parents knew about it, he was afraid that his brother would be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin.

So it's not that he wants to take care of it, but that he has to take care of it! If it goes on like this, even his own reputation will be burdened by his brother and sister-in-law!

It took a while for Zhang Yuanwai to confirm that what Shen Xiucai said to him was true.

He knew that Shen Xiucai's brother and sister-in-law were unreliable, and he had heard that Ben Xiucai had settled a lot of things for them over the years. It was still a trivial matter before, and he didn't have much to say as an outsider. But since this period of fighting, what they have done has become more and more excessive and unbelievable.

Therefore, even Zhang Yuanwai couldn't help but persuade Shen Xiucai: "You and your brother and sister-in-law are born with a natural relationship, born from the same mother." But even so, no matter how much you help, you have to have a degree, and you don't have to let them smear your reputation! ”

"Why not?" Shen Xiucai echoed with a bitter face, "I feel in my heart that I can only help them once, so I have the cheekiness to beg the master." If you have time to see Lord Liu, please say good things for the two of them in front of Lord Liu. After this once, I won't treat them as brothers and sisters-in-law. ”

Zhang Yuanwai saw that her mind was rarely clear, so he also nodded and promised to help them this time. He believed that as long as he saw Lord Liu and mentioned this matter to him, Lord Liu would be willing to sell himself a face.
