When Shi Qian heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "Well, since the old man has such a word, if we insist on not accepting it, it will be a blow to Mrs. Xu's kindness, and then a few of us will be disrespectful, but we are a little ashamed." ”

The two servants behind Shi Qian naturally hurriedly responded casually: "Yes, yes, yes, but it is ashamed to accept it disrespectfully, but it is ashamed to accept it disrespectfully." ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing to be ashamed of, the errand fee given by Mrs. should not be in vain, besides, our Lord Xu and your Lord Shi are officials in the same dynasty and ministers in the same hall, and they can be regarded as old friends who have known each other for many years." ”

When the old man heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "This matter is not bad, Lord Xu and Lord Shi are old friends, and you and I must come and go often." ”

Hearing this, Shi Qian opened his mouth and said: "What I said is, what I said is, then there will be more rewards from Mrs. Xu this time." ”

The two servants under him naturally echoed with great joy: "Exactly, I and the others all want more rewards from Mrs. Xu." ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled and handed the three silver envelopes to the hands of the three of them.

After Shi Qian and the others accepted the silver, they thanked the old man.

One hundred taels of silver is naturally not a windfall for Shi Qian at this moment, at most it is just a little extra money.

However, a hundred taels of silver meant something different to the two servants behind him.

The low-ranking servants in Shi Heng's Mansion only had two taels of silver for a lunar eclipse, and one hundred taels of silver could be worth for several years, so the other two were overjoyed after receiving the silver coin.

Shi Qian didn't even look at it, and stuffed the silver coin rewarded by Mrs. Xu into the leather bag, and then turned around and handed over the gift on the table to the old man.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly stepped forward to take it and said, "Don't worry, someone in the house will naturally send these things to the lady, and they will be disposed of, and they will not bother the distinguished guests." ”

Hearing that the old man had such words, Shi Qianzi was extremely happy, because he knew in his heart that from the current situation, the things that Lord Shi Heng ordered to send would be given to Mrs. Xu, so Mrs. Xu Youzhen attached great importance to these things, so it was natural that the silver ticket of 100,000 taels carried in the gift would fall into Mrs. Xu's eyes, even if it was not Mrs. Xu, it would be Xu Youzhen, and others would not be able to see it.

After knowing in his heart that the people at the bottom of the Xu Mansion could not touch the silver ticket of 100,000 taels of silver carried in the gift, Shi Qianzi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the purpose of coming to Xu Youzhen's Mansion today has still been achieved.

Thinking about it like this, Shi Qianzi was very happy, so he said to the old man: "What I said is that you and I have always been good friends, and the two families should communicate more often to ask questions." ”

Hearing Shi Qian's words, the old man also followed the words: "What I said is, what I said is, if things can be like this, it would be the best." ”

The two of them thought about it for a while, and Shi Qian got up and said goodbye.

The old man diligently sent Shi Qian and the other three out of the gate of the Xu Mansion.

After the two sides said goodbye, Shi Qian left with two servants.

After seeing Shi Qian leave, the old man called the slaves and maids in the house to get all the gifts sent by Shi Heng to the inner hall and sent them to Mrs. Xu for her to see.

Mrs. Xu naturally waited in the inner room, and after seeing Shi Heng's gift, she withdrew from the subordinates.

After Mrs. Xu personally opened the gift, she found that in addition to rare and rare items such as ginseng and deer antlers, there was actually a silver ticket worth 100,000 taels.

After this discovery, Mrs. Xu was extremely surprised, and she didn't know what Shi Heng wanted to do, bribe, but the situation was not very similar.

Mrs. Xu couldn't understand the reasoning, so naturally there was no way, she thought about it carefully for a while, and felt that it would be better to wait for Xu Youzhen to return home tomorrow.

With such an idea in mind, Mrs. Xu decided to put all the things sent by Shi Heng in order and put them on the museum shelf next to her.

After placing it on the shelves of the museum, Mrs. Xu ordered someone to find the old man.

The slave and maid outside did not dare to slack off, so they went to find the old man.

Soon the old man was found.

"Madam, what do you have to tell the old slave to come over?" The old man said to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu smiled slightly and said, "I came here to ask you something today. ”

The old man opened his mouth and said, "Madame has something to do, but it's okay to ask." ”

Mrs. Xu asked, "You see what Shi Heng wants to do when he sent someone to our mansion to deliver such a valuable gift?" ”

The old man replied: "Madam, the old slave has already said it, I think it is for Shi Heng's nephew, that Li Kelin." The emperor handed over the full authority to Lord Xu to thoroughly investigate the effectiveness of Henan's disaster relief, and Lord Shi Heng was also anxious, he had no way at the moment, and he wanted to send someone to send such a generous gift, and he also hoped that Lord Xu could raise his noble hand and let his nephew be superborn. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Mrs. Xu opened her mouth and said, "What you said is not bad, and from the current situation, it seems that things are really possible." ”

Mrs. Xu said this, and the old man spoke: "Madam, according to the current situation, it is very likely that this matter is like this, thinking that this matter is a special order of the emperor, and Lord Shi Heng has no choice." That's why I thought of asking our Lord Xu for help, madam, I think it was Shi Heng who wanted to ask us Lord Xu to do something, and wanted to ask our Lord Xu Youzhen to raise his noble hand and let go of his nephew Li Kelin, so he did this. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Mrs. Xu opened her mouth and said: "What you said is not bad at all, inferred from the current situation, this is the case. ”

The old man said, "Madam, it's better for me to hand over this gift to Lord Xu personally." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "What I said is that it is best to hand over the things sent by Shi Heng to Lord Xu for disposal, okay, there is nothing for you to do, you can go down and rest." ”

When the old man heard this, he said goodbye to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no other way to deal with this matter, so she could only wait for Xu Youzhen to return to the house before dealing with it.

waited until the second day, and looked forward to Xu Youzhen's return.

After Xu Youzhen returned home, Mrs. Xu greeted her and whispered Shi Heng's gift to Xu Youzhen.

Xu Youzhen was also a little surprised when she heard this, and the couple withdrew from the maids, and then returned to the room.

Mrs. Xu took out the gift sent by Shi Heng yesterday and the silver ticket of 100,000 taels and gave it to Xu Youzhen.

Xu Youzhen took a look and found that the silver ticket was indeed 100,000 taels, and it was still the largest ticket number in the Beijing Division.

At that moment, Xu Youzhen also felt that this matter was a little weird, and after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that Shi Heng's actions were nothing more than trying to save his nephew Li Kelin.

It's not enough that he has already accepted the 100,000 taels of silver now, should he return it to Shi Heng?

Regarding this matter, Xu Youzhen was quite hesitant in his heart.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't figure out how to deal with the huge amount of money sent by Shi Heng, but although I didn't think of it, I remembered to come alone.

Xu Youzhen quickly thought of Li Xian, who helped him go to Cao Jixiang's house to sit as a lobbyist last time.

Li Xian, by the way, is Li Xian, this is a resourceful character.

As soon as he thought of Li Xian, Xu Youzhen hurriedly asked his wife to put away the things, and he went to the painting room where he was usually doing things, hurriedly wrote a letter, wrote a few words about the matter, and called a servant and asked him to send the letter to Li Xian.

"Go, give this letter to Master Li Xian."

When the people under him heard Xu Youzhen's order, they naturally didn't dare to slack off, but just asked, "Master, how will it be after handing it over to Master Li." Do you want to bring Master Li back with you? ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he looked at the sky and said: "This is not necessary, if it is late today, Lord Li also wants to rest, and it is not a matter to summon him today, so you tell Lord Li that the matter is not very urgent, but it is extremely important." Please take a time to come. ”

When the servant heard Xu Youzhen's words, he replied very quickly: "The little one understands, please rest assured." The villain must see what the old man commands. ”

Xu Youzhen nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I said." ”

When the servant heard this, he said to Xu Youzhen: "My lord, since this is the case, the little one will quickly go to Li Xian Li's mansion for the adult." ”

Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said, "Go and come back quickly, master, I'm waiting for you to reply." ”

The servant said goodbye to Xu Youzhen and left.

The servant's footsteps were extremely fast, and he arrived at Li Xian's mansion in less than half an hour.

After Li Xian went down to the court, he changed out of his official uniform, changed into the Ge Yi that was usually at home, and was enjoying the cool in the courtyard, while teaching his daughter to learn, while teaching and thinking about how to act properly in the future, he suddenly heard the porter report that Lord Xu Youzhen had sent a family member to ask for a meeting.

Li Xian felt quite surprised in his heart, so he instructed the porter to bring the family sent by Xu Youzhen to the flower hall in the mansion to wait, and after changing his clothes, he went to meet him.

The porter heard Li Xian's words, so he said: "The little one understands, I will tell him that the adult is loosening his clothes, please ask him to wait a while." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he nodded with great satisfaction and said, "That's right, you let him wait a little, and Lord Ben will go to see him quickly." In addition, let the house have good tea to serve this. Li Xian said to his subordinates.

"Lord Li put it down, and the villain naturally knows how to greet guests. Lord Li, the little one went to greet the family sent by Lord Shi first. The servant of the palace spoke.

"Okay, you go quickly, Lord Ben has changed into the robe of the guest and will go to meet you immediately." Li Xian responded.

Hearing Li Xian's words, the family responded and walked away.

After the family left, Li Xian said to his daughter: "Nannan, my father is going to see the guests, and Nannan will practice calligraphy here well, and when my father returns to see the guests, he will still come back to see how Nannan's handwriting is." ”

"Daddy needs to come back soon and teach me how to read." Li Xian's daughter spoke.

Li Xian's daughter answered, and continued to practice calligraphy without distraction.

Seeing this, Li Xian went back to his room to change his clothes.

After changing clothes, Li Xian walked towards the flower hall in the mansion while thinking.

Li Xian was a little puzzled in his heart, except for helping Xu Youzhen to Cao Jixiang's side as a lobbyist last time, he had nothing to do with Xu Youzhen these days, why did Xu Youzhen send the family members in the house to visit, could it be that something happened.

But after thinking about it, he didn't come up with a clue, Li Xian felt that it didn't hurt, and after seeing the family in the house sent by Xu Youzhen, the matter naturally came to an end.

With such a thought in his heart, Li Xian soon came to the flower hall.

The guest in the flower hall, that is, the family member sent by Xu Youzhen, stood up to greet Li Xian after seeing Li Xian coming.

Li Xian smiled and said: "Don't be polite, don't be polite, I and Lord Xu Youzhen are good friends, since you are a person in Lord Xu's house, you don't have to be so polite, just treat it as if you are in your own home." ”

Li Xian, who listened to this, said this, and this person naturally felt that Li Xian was very easy to get along with, so he opened his mouth and said, "Master Li is worthy of being a wonderful person. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he smiled and said: "Where is the wonderful person, by the way, when my brother comes to me, what is the important matter, does Lord Xu Youzhen have a summoning to meet him?" ”

Seeing Li Xian's question, the family in Xu Youzhen's mansion took out a letter from his personal pocket, then presented it with both hands, handed it to Li Xian and said: "Lord Li, Lord Xu commanded, as long as this letter is handed over to Lord Li to see, the Lord will naturally understand." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he took the letter from this person's hand, and immediately removed the fire paint, took out the letter and looked at it, and after reading it quickly, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Xu Youzhen said in her heart that Shi Heng sent some gifts and 100,000 taels of silver, and he hadn't come up with the most appropriate way yet, and hoped that after retiring from the dynasty tomorrow, he could gather at his home and discuss some important matters.

Li Xian took the envelope and thought about it quickly, and immediately understood the matter, knowing in his heart that Xu Youzhen wanted to ask him for an idea of how to deal with the gifts sent by Shi Heng and the silver tickets of 100,000 taels.

After reading the letter, the words "Fu Huo" were written at the bottom.

Li Xian originally wanted to leave this letter as evidence, but it was not enough in front of the family sent by Xu Youzhen, so naturally there was no need for it.

Li Xian knew in his heart that the family might be sent by Xu Youzhen to test him, so thinking about it, Li Xian felt that even if it was a fake drama and a real singing, he was pretending.

With this idea in mind, Li Xian folded the letter into the shape of a fire fold, and then threw it into the lamp and lit it.

After the embers of the letter were extinguished and scattered, Li Xian spoke to the family in Xu Youzhen's mansion: "Go back and tell you adults, it's too late today, and Li Xian will definitely visit your mansion tomorrow." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, the person who came naturally understood that he could go back to deal with Lord Xu Youzhen safely, so he said to Li Xian: "Thank you, Lord Li, for your success." ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "Where is my fulfillment, your Lord Xu speaks, and any of the officials in the DPRK and China dare not listen." ”

When the visitor heard this, he said to Li Xian: "Since this is the case, it is okay, the villain will go back and reply to Lord Xu, Lord Li take care." ”

Li Xian also hugged his fists and said: "Brother Nian is good to go, wait for Li Xian to give him a ride." ”

Saying that, Li Xian personally sent the family in Xu Youzhen's mansion out of the middle door.

The family has this honor, and his face is golden.

When he returned to the house, he told Xu Youzhen about the status of the trip.

After listening carefully to the general situation, Xu Youzhen saw that he looked so happy, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you so happy?" ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's question, the subordinate servants didn't dare to hide it, so they told Li Xian about opening the middle door in person.

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "After Li Xian read Lord Ben's letter, did he burn the letter?" ”

"Yes, my lord, Lord Li burned all the letters, and there was not even a single scum left." The subordinate replied 1510.

Hearing this, a hint of triumph flashed in Xu Youzhen's eyes, and then he said: "Okay, you did a good job today, and Lord Ming will take care of the account room and give you fifty taels of silver as a reward for this trip." ”

"Thank you, Lord Xu, for the reward." The person who came opened his mouth with joy. Shi Heng nodded and said, "There is one more thing, is the thing that Lord Ben ordered to be sent to Xu Youzhen's mansion really in the hands of the master of Xu Mansion?" ”

"Master rest assured, if the villain hears the truth, it will definitely reach the master of the Xu Mansion, and there will be no mistakes or omissions during the process."

When Shi Heng heard this, he nodded and said: "Things don't sound bad at all, as long as this matter is handled properly, things will be easy to handle in the future, go down and rest." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, his subordinates left according to his words.

Shi Heng felt extremely happy, as long as the 100,000 taels of silver tickets were given away, once he turned against Xu Youzhen in the future, he would have an excellent brand in his hand, and he was not afraid that Xu Youzhen would not be obedient.

Thinking of this in his heart, Shi Heng was happy, and couldn't help but stretch out his finger to hit the desktop in front of him, and said with a shaking head: "Xu Youzhen, as long as you accept the 100,000 taels of silver tickets I sent, the handle will fall into my hands in the future." See how you fight me in the future. ”

Li Xian was not idle, after the family sent by Xu Youzhen left, Li Xian felt that it was necessary to talk to the eldest princess about this matter, and ask her for a way to deal with Xu Youzhen.

Li Xian hurriedly returned to the courtyard, and said to the daughter who was practicing calligraphy in the courtyard: "Nannan, practice calligraphy well, Daddy has to go out in advance, and when you come back, you will come to check how your big characters are written, don't slack off?" ”

The little girl who was writing without distractions didn't raise her head and said, "Daddy has to come back early and continue to teach me how to write." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Li Xian answered, then went into the room and changed into a very eye-catching clothes worn by ordinary people, stayed for a certain amount of gauze and hat, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the house.

After leaving the mansion, he naturally went to the place where Jian Huaizhen lived.

Along the way, he was afraid of being followed Li Xian, so he picked up the path and walked, and soon arrived at the place where Jian Huaizhen lived.

After arriving at the back door, Li Xian knocked on the door three times as agreed, and then heard a woman's voice in the door asking, "Who is here?" ”

Li Xian said according to the hidden words agreed with Jian Huaizhen: "The tree next to the road." ”
