The twenty-fifth episode of the Prime Minister's Mansion Turmoil Twenty-five
When Qin Tai and Zhang Yi were chatting at home, Zhan Xiaoxiao spent a lot of effort to find Qian Laojiu. Qian Laojiu told Zhan that Xiaoxiao's contact information had expired, and Qian Laojiu's foothold had also changed. Zhan Xiaoxiao not only broke in like this and didn't find Qian Laojiu, but almost fought with Qian Laojiu's people. If it weren't for Zhan Xiaoxiao's efforts to restrain him, there would have been countless casualties on both sides, but the casualties must have been the other party's Zhan Xiaoxiao's fine. Zhan Xiaoxiao is an acquaintance of Qian Laojiu, and he is here to find Qian Laojiu. Qian Laojiu's people didn't believe it, and they were even more worried that Zhan Xiaoxiao was an assassin who came to assassinate Qian Laojiu. Zhan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to report a few of Qian Laojiu's subordinates back then and ask them to prove their identities. Unexpectedly, some of these people have retired to the rivers and lakes, and a few have died, and one of the surviving ones happened to have betrayed Qian Laojiu recently, which made everyone even more suspicious of Zhan Xiaoxiao.
At this critical moment, Zhan Xiaoxiao saw an acquaintance. He was Qian Laojiu's little follower back then, and once he was almost killed by Qian Laojiu because of an accident, and it was Zhan Xiaoxiao and his wife who saved his life. Zhan Xiaoxiao talked to him, and he finally remembered who Zhan Xiaoxiao was, and under his testimony, everyone believed that Zhan Xiaoxiao was Qian Laojiu's friend. The little follower is now a small leader, and he is a Fujian person, so he is very willing to help Qin Tai and his wife. He personally took Zhan Xiaoxiao to Qian Laojiu's new residence to meet Qian Laojiu. Qian Laojiu's first reaction when he saw Zhan Xiaoxiao was to turn into a wooden man, he didn't expect Zhan Xiaoxiao to appear in the capital at this time. Zhan Xiaoxiao is Qin Tai's wife, and Zhan Xiaoxiao must have returned to the capital in the capital. Qian Laojiu knew that Qin Tai and his wife were the nightmare of all the officials in the capital, and he knew that there was going to be a good show in the officialdom again. I don't know if Qian Laojiu hates being an official, or if the gangsters like to see the embarrassment of being an official, Qian Laojiu is very excited about Qin Tai and his wife coming back, and even wants to see Qin Tai and his wife torture all these officials. Qian Laojiu patted his chest and promised Zhan Xiaoxiao, as long as Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qin Tai needed Qian Laojiu, Qian Laojiu would definitely go all out to help them. Qian Laojiu is not only for righteousness, but also for watching a good show, and his heart has already blossomed. Over the years, he has been bullied by people who are officials, and almost all of the people in the Criminal Department, the local yamen, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities, the Jinyiwei, and the Dongchang have and pee on his head. This time, let Qin Tai and his wife clean up these people and vent their anger to people like Qian Laojiu.
Zhan Xiaoxiao was also unkind to Qian Laojiu, not only asked to inquire about Zou Yunbiao's whereabouts, but also asked Qian Laojiu to collect information about the troublemaking officials. Qian Laojiu also knew that Qin Tai and his wife came back to investigate big cases, and only then did he think that the case to be investigated might be the case of Zou Yunbiao, who caused a sensation in the capital. So not only did he agree to help, but he also said that he would send a few cronies to secretly protect and follow Qin Tai and his wife. As long as Qin Tai and his wife want to use it, Qian Laojiu's people are at the disposal of Qin Tai anytime and anywhere. This is quite a level of commitment, Qian Laojiu counts himself in it, and everything is subject to Qin Tai's wisdom and arrangement. In other words, as long as Qian Laojiu's men and materials are all dispatched by Qin Tai and his wife, it seems that Qian Laojiu really believes in Qin Tai and his wife.
Zhang Yi also began to tell Qin Tai about living at home all these years. When Zhang Juzheng came to the capital, he only brought three subordinates with him, and Zhang Juzheng at that time really had the same heart with the three subordinates. Everyone ate and chatted together, and Zhang Juzheng didn't have any old man's style. Zhang Yi and Mo Niang are the old people in Zhang Juzheng's hometown, and it can be said that they watched Zhang Juzheng grow up and become a family, so they not only know Zhang Juzheng's living habits but also know Zhang Juzheng's tastes. Although You Qi is not a slave of the Zhang family, he is also a close confidant of Zhang Juzheng. You Qi is a neighbor's child in Zhang Juzheng's hometown, and has known Zhang Juzheng's father since he was a child. You Qi is actually the eldest in the family, but You Qi's father did not separate from the family at that time, so the children in the family arranged for everyone to rank, You Qi is the seventh grandson of the family, so it is called You Qi. You Qi's father used to be a helper in Zhang Juzheng's family, and knew that Zhang Juzheng was a prodigy since he was a child, so he begged Zhang Juzheng's father to take You Qi in and give Zhang Juzheng a scholar. said that You Qi had only worked in the Zhang family for ten years, but in the eighth year, Zhang Juzheng became an official. You Qi and his father felt that it was not cost-effective to leave Zhang Juzheng at this time, so they asked You Qi to follow Zhang Juzheng to the capital. You Qi is Zhang Juzheng's follower, and later became Zhang Juzheng's housekeeper.
After Zhang Juzheng became the official of the six departments, his family not only grew up, but also needed to add people. At this time, Mrs. Zhang happened to be in the capital, so You Qi and Mrs. Zhang jointly selected ten servants and seven maids. But later, Mrs. Zhang felt that there were too many maids, so she took three of them back to her hometown. These fourteen second batch of slaves who entered the mansion are Zhang Juzheng's servants at the level of the housekeeper now. However, these minions are more honest and peaceful, and they didn't cause any trouble for Zhang Juzheng. Soon after, Zhang Juzheng was appointed as a squire in the military department, which was a real high-ranking official, and Zhang Juzheng not only changed his residence but also had to buy a successor. This time, Zhang Juzheng not only had to hire a professional sedan chair driver, but also needed to form a team of bodyguards. In the past, sedan chairs were either rented or hired by sedan companies. But when he became a waiter, he couldn't do it again, Zhang Juzheng not only made an official sedan chair, but also hired a sedan chair driver to live at home for a long time. As a result, there were more than 30 people in the family at once. It also included eight bodyguards from the nursing home. Usually, four people in the nursing home protect Zhang Juzheng, and four nursing homes stay at home to protect their families, and later four family members were added to watch the door. These four family members are not only responsible for the gate, but also responsible for the security of the gate and ushering in the door. Since having these four family members, Zhang Yi is almost useless, and he doesn't need Zhang Yi to look at the door all day. Zhang Yi couldn't stay idle, got up early every morning, carrying a broom to clean the door. Sitting in the concierge all day drinking tea, sometimes telling stories to the boys and bragging.
Zhang Yi said that the quality of the third batch of family members and maids was not good, and there were several people who had unclean hands and feet or relied on Zhang Juzheng's forces to do evil. But Zhang Juzheng is very careful about his reputation, and You Qi is also very careful of these subordinates, so several subordinates were severely punished by Zhang Juzheng. However, as Zhang Juzheng became bigger and bigger, some problems inevitably became the norm. The family at the door asked the person who came to ask for a red envelope, and if the person who did the service did not let him in, or deliberately left a guest who was difficult to come. The guards at the door have door bags, of course, the people who serve the guests in the hall also have red envelopes, and if they don't give it, they won't let Zhang Juzheng see it, and even make fun of the guests. There are many things that people compare with each other, frame and slander each other. Some maids also learned to complain, and often made irresponsible remarks and stirred up trouble when Zhang Juzheng was unhappy or Mrs. Zhang came back.
Originally, You Qi was quite honest, at most he bullied his subordinates, and sometimes teased the maid or something. Later, someone dragged Zhang Juzheng through You Qi to do things, and the benefits were not only many but also a bit excessive, and You Qi's appetite was greater. But it's not enough to betray Zhang Juzheng or do something out of the ordinary. Zhang Yi once warned You Qi, and You Qi was obedient on the surface, but he actually hated Zhang Yi. You Qi has a wife in his hometown, and this wife is also a cousin of Mrs. Zhang's mother's family, and she is the matchmaker that Zhang Juzheng and Mrs. Zhang make for You Qi. However, You Qi dislikes his wife's rudeness and often accompanies Mrs. Zhang in his hometown, so he often flirts with the maid and nostalgia for the place of fireworks. This bad habit was immediately noticed by people with a heart, and they tentatively sent You Qi a house and a woman, and You Qi agreed after pretending to shirk it a few times. Since then, you have been the chief manager and housekeeper in Zhang Juzheng's house during the day, and returned to his own house to be the master at night. The people in Zhang Juzheng's mansion called You Qi the Seventh Master, and as Zhang Juzheng's status became higher and higher, the Seventh Master also became the object of everyone's stitching. Some petty officials can't reach Zhang Juzheng, so they buy You Qi and You Qi to have a good relationship. After Zhang Juzheng became the deputy assistant of the cabinet and actually took control of the cabinet, some people decided to spend money to have a good relationship with You Qi, and gave You Qi a young lady from an official eunuch family as a little wife. The women who used to give You Qi were just gifts or subordinates who served You Qi, and You Qi would not and did not need to give them a name. But this woman is very different, her father is a county official who is no longer in office, and her brother-in-law is a six-grade director of the Ministry of Industry, and he is a real official lady. Not only does she have an identity but she is also good-looking, which is more than enough to be an old man for a current official. You Qi just happened to dislike the wife at home, her status was low, she was ugly, and she was old, this young lady made him so excited. He had the audacity to marry openly and settle in his own house as a wife.
