"Master, what do you want me to do?" Shi Qianbi, who came to the housekeeper, respectfully asked.

Shi Heng glanced at Shi Qian's words, and then spoke: "Shi Qian, Lord Ben has something for you to do first. ”

The housekeeper Shi Qian hurriedly said: "Lord Shi has something to ask, and the villain will definitely do it." ”

Seeing Shi Qian's sincere and frightened appearance, Shi Heng spoke: "It's not a difficult matter, from the current situation, if you want to keep my nephew safe, it seems that from the current situation, you still have to ask Xu Youzhen first." ”

Hearing Shi Qian's words, Shi Qian is not a stupid person, so he naturally understood this truth, so he said to Shi Heng: "What the adults said is not bad at all, from the current situation, it seems that Young Master Kelin's life is really a little pinched in Shi Xu Youzhen's hands. ”

Hearing this, Shi Heng nodded and said: "This statement has won my heart, Xu Youzhen, this old guy is difficult to deal with, not to mention that now he is in the middle of his holy family, and Li Kelin's matter wants to avoid him, but I am afraid that things are not easy." ”

"What Lord Shi said is extremely true, from the current situation, Xu Youzhen's side should take care of it, but the master did not give instructions before, so the people have not yet greeted Lord Xu Youzhen." Shi Qian opened his mouth and spoke.

Hearing Shi Qian's words, Shi Heng said: "This matter is a miscalculation by me, master, so let's do it, it's almost the New Year, you go to the account office and pass on my instructions to take out 100,000 taels of silver as an ice ceremony." Then I bothered you to go to Xu Youzhen's mansion overnight and send it to the door with him. Let's just say that it was given by this master, and it is best to prepare a few other gifts and send them together. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's command, Shi Qian opened his mouth and said: "My lord, there is no problem for the villain to run errands for gifts, but this shot is 100,000 taels, and Lord Xu cherishes his wings and may not be willing to accept it." ”

"Hey, didn't you just throw the money to someone's house, wouldn't you think of a way to send it secretly?" When Shi Heng heard this, he said with a straight face.

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Shi Qian said: "What the Lord said is extremely true, and from the current situation, this is the case. The villain tried to secretly send this thing out. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he turned his anger into joy and said: "It is precisely this that as long as the gift is given a little effort, it should be able to be achieved smoothly." ”

When Shi Qian heard this, he said to Shi Heng: "What the adults said is not bad at all, and now the villain also thinks of how to give gifts so that they can be sent out smoothly and without being returned by the other party in person." ”

Hearing this, Shi Qian opened his mouth and said, "The villain wants to wrap the silver ticket into a gift that Lord Xu Youzhen personally opens, and the matter is much simpler. Thinking about it, the slaves and maids in Xu Youzhen's mansion did not dare to open such gifts rashly. ”

Hearing Shi Qian's words, Shi Heng said, "What you said is extremely reasonable. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "Well said, if things are done like this, it will naturally be smooth." As you said, it's extremely convenient. As long as the things can be sent to Xu Youzhen's house smoothly, even if you do it beautifully, after you do it, Lord Ben will have a heavy reward. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper Shi Qian said: "Since the master said that this method can be done, then try it, if it becomes itself, it would be the best." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, the matter of giving gifts to the Li Mansion will be handed over to you for disposal." ”

Shi Qian agreed, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked Shi Heng: "Lord Shi, is it too much to give away 100,000 taels of silver to Xu Youzhen this time." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he smiled and said: "I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, this is one of them, and the second is that the 100,000 taels of silver I gave away for nothing, and it will be used for another time in the future." At the moment, you don't need to know too clearly, quickly go to the account office and withdraw 100,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to you for disposal. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper Shi Qian said: "Since Lord Shi trusts the villain so much, the villain will definitely try to properly help with the gift to Xu Youzhen's mansion." ”

"Well, Steward Shi can say this, Lord Ben is extremely happy. If this happens, my lord will be rewarded. Shi Heng said with a smile.

"The villain is willing to do things for Lord Shi, where do you dare to ask for the adult's reward. Moreover, without the support of adults, the villain is only afraid that he is still a slave at the moment, where can he think that he has become the housekeeper of Shifu now, and it is too late for the villain to thank the adult. Butler Shi Qian opened his mouth and thanked Shi Hengxun.

Hearing Shi Qian's words, Shi Heng smiled and said, "Shi Qian, you are loyal to Lord Ben, and after the matter is completed, Lord Ben will never treat you badly." ”

Saying that, Shi Heng took out a silver ticket from the leather bag, and said to Shi Qian: "You can take this silver ticket to drink wine and eat tea first, and when the matter is completed, Lord Ben will give you ten times the amount of silver to spend." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Shi Qian hurriedly said: "My lord, how embarrassing is this, it is natural for the villain to do things for adults, the so-called food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king." How dare a villain ask an adult for a small reward. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he stepped forward and stuffed the silver ticket in his hand into Shi Qian's hand, then curled up his palm, and then tightened his palm and said, "This is not a reward, but a meager reward." ”

Seeing Shi Heng's move, Shi Qian knew that if he insisted on resigning this matter, it would make Shi Heng unhappy, so it was better to comply with Shi Heng's wishes.

As soon as his mind turned like this, Shi Qian knelt down and bowed to Shi Heng: "The adult is so kind, the villain is really deserved." ”

Seeing Shi Qian turn over and kneel, Shi Heng said in a hypocritical voice: "No need to be like this, no need to kowtow, you and I have been a master and servant for many years, and you still pay attention to what these false etiquette do, just get up quickly." ”

Although he said this, Shi Heng's body and hands did not move at all, and he did not have the slightest intention of stepping forward to help Shi Qian.

Shi Qian naturally understood Shi Heng's intentions, so he didn't dare to hold it up, and respectfully kowtowed to Shi Heng on the ground.

Between kowtows, Shi Qian peeked at the number of the silver ticket that Shi Heng had just handed to him, and it was one thousand taels.

One thousand taels is not a small amount, according to Shi Heng's statement, there will be ten times the reward after the matter is completed, that is, ten thousand taels. After a few years, he couldn't earn so much money, Shi Qianzi was overjoyed, and felt that it was really worth it to kick Shi Heng to run errands to Xu Youzhen's mansion to give gifts.

With such a change of thought in his heart, he was naturally grateful for Shi Heng's kindness, and Shi Qian kowtowed to Shi Heng seven or eight times.

After kowtowing, Shi Qianfang got up from the ground and said to Shi Heng: "Thank you Lord Shi for the reward, rest assured, this errand will definitely be handled by the adults beautifully and properly, and they will never return halfway and in vain." ”

Hearing Shi Qian's words, Shi Heng opened his mouth and said: "A little reward is nothing, as long as you wait for this matter to be taken care of properly, there will be benefits for you in the future." ”

"Thank you, sir." Shi Qian greeted Shi Heng.

"Well, in that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Without further ado, hurry up and do it, Lord Ben is waiting for your good news in the house. Shi Heng said to Shi Qian.

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Shi Qian replied: "My lord, please wait, the villain will immediately go to Xu Youzhen's mansion for the adult to complete this matter." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, go and return quickly, you must do this smoothly, and there must be no mistakes." Well, this is the seal of this lord, and you can use this thing to take out the money from the account office in the house. ”

After that, Shi Heng handed over his silver coin seal to Shi Qian.

"The little one understands, Lord Xie Shi trusts the villain so much." Shi Qian said to Shi Heng.

After saying this, Shi Qian said goodbye to Shi Heng and turned to leave.

After Shi Qian said goodbye to Shi Heng, he took Shi Heng's silver coin seal and immediately went to the account office of Shifu to withdraw 100,000 taels of silver.

The bookkeeper in Shifu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that he said that he wanted 100,000 taels, and then asked, "Big brother, what do you want to do with so much silver from you?" ”

Hearing Mr. Ledger's words, Shi Qian replied with some impatience: "Mr. Ledger, take a closer look, this is our Lord Shi's silver money seal, you don't need to know the use of this 100,000 taels of silver, it was the Lord who ordered me to dispose of it like this, if you have any doubts in your heart, you can ask Lord Shi in person." ”

The bookkeeper had always been at odds with him, and he wanted to make things difficult for him, so he took the silver seal and carefully examined it, but there was no sign of forgery.

In this way, Mr. Bookkeeper knew in his heart that this matter was due to Shi Heng's instructions, so he was unwilling to say to Mr. Bookkeeper half-jokingly: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to trust you, it's just that 100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, if something goes wrong, Lord Shi will investigate it, and I can't afford it, brother."

Hearing Mr. Bookkeeper's words, Shi Qian glared at him and said: "Could it be that you suspect that this housekeeper intends to abscond with the money, you can see clearly, this is Lord Shi's order, and what is placed in front of you is also the silver coin seal of Lord Shi that is genuine and fake, if you say that this is fake, what else is true." ”

When Mr. Bookkeeper heard Shi Qian's words, he hurriedly said, "Brother, don't be angry, I didn't say that your Lord Shi's silver coin seal is fake." It's just that I'm a little curious, what is the use of Lord Shi ordering his brother to give out this hundred thousand dollars? ”

"I can't tell you this, it's not that I don't pay attention to righteousness, it's really Lord Shi's thousands of instructions, if I tell you, something goes wrong halfway, I'm afraid that Lord Shi will blame you and I can't save our lives." Brother, don't get involved in this, if you get involved, you can't afford to deal with anything. Shi Qian said.

Having said this, the bookkeeper in Shi Heng's mansion knew in his heart that he would not be able to extract the use of Shi Heng's order to take 100,000 taels of silver from Shi Qian's mouth no matter what.

In this way, he had to sigh and say, "Well, then the brother wants a silver ticket and a silver ticket." ”

"Naturally, it's a silver ticket, and if you give a gift of 100,000 taels of silver, you can't move it." Shi Qian opened his mouth and said.

Hearing Shi Qian's mouth say the word gift, the bookkeeper smiled and said: "It turned out to be a gift, even if it is so, this 100,000 taels can be regarded as an adult's generosity." ”

When Mr. Bookkeeper said this, Shi Qian naturally understood that he had inadvertently leaked the secret of heaven, but the words were already out of the water, so he covered up and said: "Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about the use of this 100,000 taels of silver, Lord Shi ordered me to take it, and he has his reasons." ”

When the bookkeeper heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "Well, what Lord Shi ordered, how dare I wait for these subordinates to disobey the order, since it is a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, then wait for a while, and wait for me to go to the treasury to get it." ”

When Shi Qian heard this, he nodded and said, "I would have said this earlier, and it would have been in vain for a long time." ”

When the bookkeeper heard this, he said with a slight embarrassment: "The housekeeper will later, later, the little brother will do it quickly." ”

"Yes, as soon as possible, my lord is waiting for urgent use." Shi Qianhu said with a fake tiger threat.

Hearing Shi Qian's words, the bookkeeper in Shi Heng's mansion did not dare to slack off, took out the seal key of the treasury and went to get the silver ticket.

Shi Qianbai waited boredly for a while, and then saw the bookkeeper take the silver ticket and hurried back.

"Oh, this is a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, please take a look." The bookkeeper took a breath and handed the silver ticket in his hand to Shi Qian.

The housekeeper Shi Qian took a look, and saw that a silver ticket of 100,000 taels of silver issued by the largest ticket number of the Jingshi was not bad, so Shi Qian nodded and said: "The silver ticket is not bad at all, okay, then the brother will go to tell Lord Shi about this matter and see you back." ”

The bookkeeper knew in his heart that he couldn't afford to provoke this person at the moment, so he answered with a smile: "Brother go, this 100,000 taels of silver tickets must be kicked, don't lose it." ”

Hearing Mr. Bookkeeper's courteous words, Shi Qian was a little reminded, so he opened his mouth and said: "What I said is that this is a big deal, if you lose something, wouldn't it be a big deal." ”

After that, the housekeeper Shi Qian solemnly put the 100,000 taels of silver tickets into the leather bag inside the clothes and put them away, then patted them through the clothes, and then said: "If you pick it up so tightly, you can't throw it away." ”

After doing these things, the housekeeper Shi Qian left.

After leaving, Shi Qian went back to report to Shi Heng, and Shi Heng personally picked up a few worldly treasures from the inner room and delivered them to her.

"These things are all rare things, this time you will send them to Xu Youzhen's mansion, don't forget that the secret of these 100,000 taels of silver to be given cannot be exposed."

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper spoke: "Thank you Lord Shi for reminding him." ”

Shi Heng nodded and said: "After preparing to stop, I will quickly go to Xu Youzhen's mansion, today Xu Youzhen, the old horseman, is not at home, he is on duty in the courtroom, I think I sent a gift, the people in his house dare not refuse, and will definitely accept it first and come back to deal with it after the dynasty disperses tomorrow." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper Shi Qian couldn't help but admire Shi Heng in his heart.

"Thank you for your mention, the villain will immediately follow the adult's wishes, and will definitely send this generous gift to Xu Youzhen's house properly." Shi Qian said to Shi Heng.

When Shi Heng heard this, he nodded and said, "What you said is not bad at all, if you do this properly, I will be rewarded." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the housekeeper Shi Qian nodded and said, "The little one understands, please rest assured Lord Shi, the little one will definitely handle this matter properly for the adult." ”

Hearing that Shi Qian had this guarantee, Shi Heng bowed his head and said: "Shi Qian, you really deserve to be the right-hand man of Lord Ben, if you leave you, Lord Ben doesn't know how to deal with these mundane affairs." ”

Seeing that Shi Heng had this praise, the housekeeper Shi Qian didn't dare to support him at all, so he said to him: "Where the adults say, the villain only knows, the matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, Lord Shi is so serious to the villain, and the villain should do his best to do things well for the adult." ”

Shi Qian said this, and Shi Heng smiled slightly: "It's good to say, if you get things done this time, after you come back, Lord Ben will be rewarded." In addition, if you want to be an official, you can still keep a crown, but you don't have to follow the class, and you can still serve this with your side. ”

Hearing that Shi Heng had this promise, Shi Qian was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Thank you Lord Shi for cultivating." ”

Shi Heng nodded slightly and said, "Go, go and go back quickly, Lord Ben and Fuzhong are waiting for good news." ”

When Shi Qian heard this, he spoke: "Please wait for the news, and the little one will deal with this matter immediately." ”

After saying this, Shi Qian said goodbye to Shi Heng.

After saying goodbye to Shi Heng, Shi Qian picked up the silver ticket and the gifts prepared by Shi Heng, jumped two strong servants from the mansion as followers and porters, and walked towards Xu Youzhen's mansion with the gifts.

Fortunately, the two mansions were not too far apart, and after a few people walked for a while, they arrived at the door of a Zhumen mansion.

There are two mighty stone lions squatting at the door, and the depth of the door of the house is quite long, which is obviously the residence of the high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

Shi Qian raised his eyes and saw a pair of big red lanterns hanging above the mansion with a big "Xu" character written on them, so he spoke to the two followers behind him: "I've arrived at the ground, I'll see the people in the Xu Mansion later, you two don't have to say anything, I'll take care of everything." ”

Shi Qian was originally the butler in the Shi Mansion, and the two servants who came from the Shi Heng Mansion were naturally obedient, and nodded to him again and again and said: "Steward Shi, naturally your old man came out to contact him, even if I asked me to wait to do it, I couldn't do it." ”

"Yes, Steward Shi, this matter still needs you to be old, and we subordinates should learn a little bit on the side." Another servant chimed in
