Chapter 183 Adapting to the situation

Shen Muqing returned home in a chaotic manner.

It's not early, Mr. Min has already left, and Shen Zhen is sitting cross-legged on the kang alone to play chess.

Shen Muqing saw Shen Zhen, gave Shen Zhen the things that the eldest lady asked Xiao Sa to bring, and told him everything that happened at the Liansheng Inn and his promise to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother: "I sent Lord Wang to go today, just because the throne was unstable, and I was forced to go through the motions under the pressure of the ministers. In the future, once the throne is stable, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find such an opportunity. It's better to take this opportunity to get the emperor and Xiao Sa back! ”

Shen Zhen's eyes lit up.

"The question is how to act when the time comes?" Shen Muqing's expression was solemn, "Master Xiao has experience in the rivers and lakes, you know all kinds of classics in the imperial court well, and Lord Wang, he has to take a big risk, you have to find someone who can speak in front of him to persuade him." When these three conditions are met, everyone will discuss them together, and they will definitely be able to come up with a foolproof plan. ”

Shen Zhen thought for a while, walked to the bookcase and wrote a letter, and then called the little servant in, "Send the letter to Lord Min's mansion." ”

The little guy went away.

"Bie Shan and Yuan Yu have a very good personal relationship. In this matter, Yuan Yu still needs to come forward to help inquire about him, after all, he is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Although I know Wang Qing, I don't have a deep friendship with him. Shen Zhen explained to Shen Muqing. Without Wang Qing's support, I am afraid that no matter how good the strategy is, it will not be implemented. Shen Muqing thought of the weakness of human nature.

She muttered: "I know that some people love money, and if you give him money, he will be tempted." Some people love power, and for the sake of high positions, they also use any means. There are also some people who seem to be pure-hearted and have few desires, but they regard reputation as more precious than their lives, if they can know what Wang Qing likes, it would be good to have a deep friendship with him, but it is secondary! ”

Shen Zhen looked at Shen Muqing with some surprise.

Shen Muqing was a little weak-hearted: "What's wrong?" ”

There was a little smile in Shen Zhen's eyes: "Mu Qing has grown up and can be on his own." "It's very gratifying.

Shen Muqing smiled wryly.

When the Shen father and daughter were discussing how to rescue Xiao Sa, the eldest lady Zheng was sitting on the big kang by the window, looking coldly at Tu Xiaoque who was kneeling in front of her.

"Others don't dislike you for remarrying, and you are willing to marry and carry ini into the door, what are you not satisfied with?" She picked up the teacup on the kang table and took a sip of tea.

Tu Xiaoque lowered her eyelids, making it difficult to see her emotions at this time.

The eldest lady glanced at the ginkgo biloba beside her.

Ginkgo nodded slightly.

The eldest lady sighed and said, "You are the person next to Sa'er, and I won't force you." Do you go down and think about it? ”

Tu Xiaoque replied softly "yes", and Ginkgo stepped forward to pick her up and send her out the door.

The two walked to the platform, and Ginkgo pulled Tu Xiaoque. Whispered, "Why are you so stupid?" When the eldest lady asked you, why didn't you push the boat down the river?"

Tu Xiaoque didn't make a sound, just exhaled a long breath, looking very depressed.

"What's wrong?" Ginkgo quickly glanced at the curtain behind her, "We live in the same room, if you have anything to say, I will turn back and intercede with you before the eldest lady is annoyed." ”

Tu Xiaoque looked at Ginkgo and smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "If the Seventh Young Master doesn't come back, how can I have that thought?" ”

Ginkgo was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "You, are you still worried about the Seventh Young Master?" ”

Tu Xiaoque nodded, and there was already a bit of sparkling in his eyes. muttered: "I can have today, all thanks to the young master to save him, although he has a temper, but he has never looked down on me, I remember him well all my life"

Ginkgo's eyes flowed: "But I listened to the eldest lady's meaning, it is because of this that I want to do your business before the matter of the seventh young master is decided, and I also said that if you have to keep it for three years, you can wait, and the other party can't wait." When the time comes, this marriage will be ruined, and I don't know if I can find a better one in the future."

"What did you say?" Tu Xiaoque looked at Ginkgo in a panic, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Ginkgo glanced at the little maid standing in front of the curtain, pulled Tu Xiaoque off the platform, and then looked left and right nervously, and then said, "I went in to serve tea that day and listened to a sound." It seems that the aunt and grandmother of the Shen family are afraid of getting into trouble, and they don't really want to help with this, so I advise you."

"She doesn't want to help?" Tu Xiaoque's face turned white, "Why is she unwilling to help?" The young master said this, and she suddenly stopped.

A thoughtful look flashed across Ginkgo's face, and she smiled, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing?" Tu Xiaoque smiled a little uneasily, "I just think that the Shen family's aunt and grandmother are too concerned about the young master's affairs."

"Oops!" Ginkgo covered her mouth and smiled, "It's okay for people not to take it to heart." It's not a couple, and it's not a married person who can deliver a letter like this, it's already friendship! ”

Tu Xiaoque wanted to speak and stopped, and finally showed a reluctant smile.

"How? What did she say? The eldest lady asked Ginkgo with a heavy gaze.

Ginkgo said in a low voice: "I said that I was worried about the Seventh Young Master, and I wanted to wait for the Seventh Young Master to come back and marry again, and it was very affectionate" and said the conversation between the two, Tu Xiaoque's expression, "It's not like a show!" ”

The eldest lady frowned, and instructed Ginkgo: "Tell the people of that family, when the second sister gets married, I will give two thousand taels of silver to the bottom of the pressure box Their family has always wanted to buy a shop in Taiyuan, with these two thousand taels, it should be possible to make all wishes!" ”

Ginkgo pursed her lips and smiled: "It's still thoughtful that the eldest lady thinks." As he spoke, he bowed to the eldest lady and wanted to leave.

"You wait!" The eldest lady called out to her, "What did the aunt and grandmother of the Shen family take?" ”

Ginkgo said with a smile: "Small snacks such as cream fried cake, Aiwowo, honey twist, pea yellow, kidney bean cake, etc." ”

The eldest lady smiled and nodded.

Ginkgo looked at her with a little cheerfulness in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Although the things are inconspicuous, they are all fresh, I'm afraid they are specially made, or else, I will bring them to you to taste!" ”

The eldest lady nodded: "Make me another pot of Longjing tea!" ”

Ginkgo went in response, put the dim sum brought by Shen Muqing on a plate, brewed Longjing tea before the rain, and personally served it to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady looked at the dim sum in front of her and sighed softly, and called the hosta in: "You send the pair of hairpins inlaid with diamonds in my box to the aunt and grandmother of the Shen family, which is a return gift!" ”

The hosta was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it the silver hairpin of the pair of pomegranate flowers?" ”

The eldest lady smiled and nodded, "That's it!" ”

Shen Muqing received the return gift from the eldest lady and couldn't help but be stunned.

Although the hairpin was made of silver, and the pomegranate flowers were not large, the diamond set on it was the size of a soybean grain, at least twelve carats

If you give an object of equal value as a gift in return, you can only use the relics left by the Li family.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but hesitate a little.

The hosta smiled and said, "Our eldest lady likes the snacks you sent." He sent me to ask for some back. He also said that it was your return gift at that time! ”

Shen Muqing smiled bitterly, instructed the kitchen to make a few more dim sums, took a calligraphy and painting from the previous dynasty as a return gift, and sent Ying Fan to send it over.

The next day, the eldest lady asked people to send crystal shrimp dumplings and powdered fruits to eat.

The hosta was full of smiles: "Our eldest wife is in Guangdong all the year round, this is a snack over there, and I specially asked people to make it for my aunt and grandmother to try it." ”

Shen Muqing had no choice but to return the salute again.

In this way, you come and go, and in the end, Shen Muqing had to cook by himself and direct the chef to make snacks from all over the world.

Glutinous cakes, rice cakes, rice cakes, fish balls, spring rolls, and egg cakes have been baked.

After a few days, Chang Hui has not returned, but the imperial court issued a holy decree, far away in the emperor of Bahe as the emperor, the promotion of the Ministry of Rites to the matter of Wang Qing as the third product of the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, on September 16 to envoy Bahe.

As soon as this edict came out, both inside and outside the government and the opposition were shocked, but they remained silent very strangely.

"Others regard it as a dangerous road, but he sees it as a shortcut" Mr. Min sat in the warm pavilion of Shen Zhen's study, drinking the Lu'an melon slices offered by Shen Muqing himself, and talking to Shen Zhen about Wang Qing, "Say: If you go to Bahe, you will either die in Huangquan or go down in history." It seemed that he was also well aware of the danger of this mission. ”

Shen Zhen nodded slightly, turned his head and asked Shen Muqing behind him, "You said, Xiao Sa's father, Xiao Zhao, is the leader of the Yangzhou Gang of the Cao Gang?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Muqing responded.

Shen Zhen pondered: "I think, I have to bring Wang Qing to discuss and discuss, to see what specific difficulties he has in envoying Bahe, I heard that this time the envoy, Taichang Si only sent four people to Wang Qing, which is better than the ordinary imperial history to go out of Beijing to investigate the case, and we are not as good as prescribing the right medicine, solving the practical difficulties, and convincing him is more certain." ”

Mr. Min agreed very much, and said with a smile: "Then I will ask Wang Qing to come tomorrow?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Zhen said, "It's been less than ten days since he left Beijing, and in a few days, he is afraid that he will not have time to move around." ”

After speaking, he instructed Shen Muqing: "You go to the Liansheng Inn now to see how many silver taels the Xiao family can use?" How many people? When I talk to Wang Qing tomorrow, I also have a bottom in my heart. ”

Shen Muqing left in response.

Hearing that Shen Muqing was coming, the eldest lady welcomed her in happily.

"How? Is there any good news? She looked at Shen Muqing with anticipation, and Shen Muqing was a little weak when she saw it, if people couldn't save her, what face would she have to see the eldest lady.

Shen Muqing hurriedly told the eldest lady what Shen Zhen meant.

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately asked Ginkgo to invite Xiao Zhao.

"It's no problem for me to get two million taels of silver here!" The eldest lady took advantage of Xiao Zhao's failure to confess to Shen Muqing, "No matter how much, you may have to collect accounts or sell some property"

Shen Muqing was a little speechless.

I didn't expect the eldest lady to be so rich.

Xiao Zhao came soon.

The three of them closed the door and discussed.

Shen Muqing said what he meant. Xiao Zhao said: "There is no big problem with money. When I came, the old lady gave 500,000 taels of silver tickets, which was ready to deal with the court officials, and the third child had gathered 200,000 taels worth of porcelain, silk and salt, which could be called at any time, and the fifth had already arranged for the people to go to Bahe, and I could also make up 400,000 taels of silver in my hand. As he spoke, Xiao Zhao took a box with red lacquer and gold painting to Shen Muqing: "Here are 200,000 taels of silver tickets, you take it back and fix it first." ”

I want to draw a line with myself!

Shen Muqing smiled, and was about to reach out to take the box, when the eldest lady suddenly stretched out her hand to block Shen Muqing's hand, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that there are 500,000 taels of silver tickets?" Aren't you even reluctant to give up the old lady's money? ”

There are 4 of them
