Chapter 414: When the Stratagem is in Progress
Coming out of the Yuwen Sheren mansion, the Fang family was in a high-spirited state again, and when he got into the car, thinking back to Xuanji's "point", he felt more and more that it was advantageous to make friends with He Langjiang's wife, Wei's family-
"He Mingfu is in the place, it is quite difficult to do something, the lady may wish to carefully calculate, how many county orders in the world, and how many are related to the important ministers of the court, if not close relatives and friends, how many can stand out, only by political achievements can not be counted on at all, conscientious in the local tossing and turning, maybe even the five-grade officials can not be promoted, He Mingfu is not only beyond the whip, but also can only rely on the lady to consolidate contacts in Beijing, if Mao Xiangguo has someone in his ears to take care of and remind him from time to time, he will not forget He Mingfu."
"Wei's mother's family has regarded Mao Xiangguo as the mastermind, if the lady is friendly with it, not to mention that it is beneficial at least harmless, and furthermore, He Lang will be the brother of He Shi's widow, although He Shizhi is now deeply trusted by Wei Xiangguo, but He Lang will abandon his previous suspicion and take the initiative to make up for his brotherhood, otherwise why did Wei make a matchmaking in the middle and promote the marriage of his aunt's cousin and He Shiyi? What does this mean? It shows that Mao Xiangguo may also have a heart to win over He Shiji, once the lady is friendly with the Wei family, there will be no chance to make a good friend of He Shi's wife in the future? If he can make a contribution to winning over He Shiji, why worry that Mao Xiangguo will not repay him? ”
Isn't that the truth? Fang's family suddenly felt like an initiation, and he didn't expect such a simple method to blame himself, but he found a reason to comfort himself in a moment: she was just an inner house woman, where did she know about these many twists and turns, if it weren't for Xuanji's reminder, she didn't even know that He Shishilang would marry Wei's aunt, Xuanji just listened to Yuwen Lang's advice and passed on the word on her behalf, otherwise where would she know about such a lot of people, and she wouldn't have to blame herself.
However, although the Wei family is supported by Mao Xiangguo, the status is naturally not comparable to that of old servants like the Fang family, and if you want to make friends with a clan lady like the Wei family, of course, you must prepare a generous gift to show your sincerity.
Fang gritted his teeth, had to "cut the meat" again, and used more than half of the money and silver that he had accumulated over the years to prepare gifts, and personally sent them to the He Mansion, but although the gifts were accepted by the Wei family, they were not received in person as Fang Shi wished, let alone friendship from now on, how could Fang be willing, cheeky and came to the door several times, but without exception, they were all sent away by the servant in charge of the house.
Fang's couldn't help but be at a loss, after eating the closed-door soup again this day, he was already depressed, how did he know that the car he was riding on the way home was hit again, although it was only a slight friction, Fang's anger was aroused, but thinking of a similar accident a few years ago that almost offended Liu Shiniang, it was easy to suppress his anger, and asked the driver to ask clearly first, where the other party came from.
Things are really so "coincidental", before the driver could reply, Fang Shi heard a woman outside the car window ask with a smile: "Is Fang Niang in the car?" The contemptible Binu, accidentally collided with the lady, and came to ask for sin, and hoped that the lady would be lenient and offended. ”
In the early years, Fang's family made friends with the family in the name of Liu Shi Niang, although there were not too many opportunities for contact with the "day and day" Shi Niang, but in order to consolidate this friendship, there was no shortage of dealings with Binu.
"Where do you want to go, girl?"
"It was at the advice of Shi Niang earlier that I went to the West Market to buy Yan Cai, and I wanted to send it to Shangqingguan for real people." Binu smiled like a flower, but his eyes flashed shrewdly: "Since the lady sent He Mingfu to make the face color by hand, Eleven Niang herself used the best, and also recommended it to real people, over the years, real people and Eleven Niang's paintings, are given priority to the use of He Mingfu made, but He Mingfu let go of the foreign office, but fortunately, the formula was handed over to the West City Qianse Tao, after all, it is better than the ordinary color shop......
Originally from He Shaozu to be released, Eleven Niang then lived in the forbidden place for a long time, the Fang family has not visited the Liu family for some days, let alone sent to Yan Cai as before, but He Shaozu did not give up the way to make money because of the "flow", and sold the formula to Qianse Tao in the form of profit sharing, Bi Nu sighed lightly at this time: "It's a pity that because the Yan Cai of He Mingfu is in short supply, the contemptible often have a time when they can't buy, it just so happens that the road meets the lady today, if the lady is free, go with the contemptible, The shopkeeper of Qianse Taozhi will not make things difficult for the despicable on the grounds of being out of stock. ”
Binu said it euphemistically, but Fang's idea still has it, and he can't help but slander: Qiansetao's shopkeeper is arrogant, how dare he make it difficult for Liufu and Shangqingguan? It is clear that this maid intends to buy money privately, and intends to let her come forward and order Qiansetao to waive the fee.
This is not that Fang's mind is simple-minded, in fact, in order to consolidate the friendship with Shi Niang, he bribed Binu many times, and Binu did not refuse to come, and his greedy and small profit face had long been uncovered.
It's just a little money, Fang's is not so big that he cares, and Liu Shi Niang's son is so big that the Queen Mother believes in it, and his status is only up and down three years ago, if he can further envelop the henchmen and maids around Shi Niang, it is impossible to ask for it, so Fang immediately invited Binu to join her, and did what he wanted, saying that he would "greet" Qiansetao today, and as long as it was needed by Shangqingguan and Liufu in the future, he would definitely not take a penny.
Binu smiled happily and thanked him with a thousand thanks: "Although the contempt is humble, fortunately, he is quite trusted by Eleven Niang, Fang Niangzi will need it in the future, you might as well say bluntly, Binu will do her best...... I just saw Fang Niangzi earlier, and she seemed to be quite worried, I don't know what to worry about? ”
Fang's family is not the master who can hide things in his heart, and he is full of depression, and when he was asked by Binu on his own initiative, he couldn't help but complain about Wei's reluctance to accept the matter of accepting heavy gifts: "I don't hide it from the girl, I originally planned to make friends with Wei Niangzi, so as to strive for benefits for my grandson's appointment at the end of his term, but Wei Niangzi's eyes are too high, and she can't look down on me and pay it back, but she accepts gifts, how can this make people willing?" ”
Binu smiled: "What's so hard about this? Fang Niangzi is so refreshing today, some small things Binu is naturally willing to serve, and when the West Market is over, she only needs to ask Fang Niangzi to send Binu to He Mansion, and Binu can persuade Wei Niangzi to meet Niangzi. ”
Although Fang Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, he also had some doubts in his heart: "It's not that I don't believe what the girl said, it's just that Wei Niangzi is as arrogant as ......."
Bi Nu disagreed: "Fang Niangzi doesn't know, although Wei Niangzi was born with a big surname and married into the clan, she has always been over-eyed, but recently she is thinking about repairing the friendship between them and He Shishilang, but at the beginning He Lang will be too indifferent to Shishilang, Shishilang is still difficult to give up mustard, Wei Niangzi can wish that Eleven Niang mediated in the middle, who in the world does not know that Eleven Niang and Fourteen Lang are not related but are better than brothers? Although Binu is a maidservant, of course the reasoning will not let Wei Niangzi get into the eyes, but because of the eleventh mother, Wei Niangzi will also take care of some feelings, the lady can rest assured, Binu has her own ideas, and the lady only needs to sit and wait for good news. ”
Fang Clan pondered carefully, isn't this the truth? Although Binu is a servant, but its master should not be underestimated, since the Wei family is now trying his best to entrap He Zhan, how can he easily offend such a key person as Eleven Niang, and besides, whether this thing is successful or not, there is no loss to himself, why not give it a try?
So Binu was sent to the door of the He house.
Of course, in the face of the concierge inquiry, Binu did not express his intentions directly, but reported the "door", emphasizing that it was Liu Shi Niang's personal maid, and soon there was a steward servant to greet him, this person also often accompanied Wei to the Qing Dynasty to flatter and flatter, and also saw Binu a few times, when he was sure that the person was not an impostor, and did not ask the reason, he invited people in with a smile, and actually led directly to Wei's residence.
Wei at first thought that Binu was sent by Eleven Niang, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, how did he know that Binu made it clear that it was not instructed by Eleven Niang, Wei was suspicious, but because Eleven Niang could not be offended, of course, he also had a little respect for Binu, a personal maid, and listened to Binu's details patiently.
Binu naturally didn't say that he met Fang Niang on the way, and when he asked, Fang complained about it, but said that Fang took the initiative to invite her to mediate: "Eleven Niang is now living in the forbidden area, of course, she won't ask about such trivialities, and she will be dealt with by the contemptible person, this Fang Niang almost collided with Eleven Niang in the early years, but fortunately, she woke up in time and took the initiative to apologize, Eleven Niang was generous, and did not care about her, but the opposite Fang Niang was more and more reluctant not to ......"
After talking about the entanglement between Eleven Niang and the Fang clan in such detail, Binu smiled and said: "Because the Fang Clan is diligent and sincere, one and the other goes, Eleven Niang is also a little unhappy, so the contemptible person thinks that what the Fang Clan is asking for this time is just a trivial matter, and Eleven Niang should not reject it...... Since the Fang family intends to make friends with Wei Niangzi, she will inevitably be very diligent, although she is from a small background, it is reasonable for Wei Niangzi to look down on her, but He Mingfu is also born in the imperial examination after all, and the Fang family is the old servant of Mao Xiangguo, and in the future, it may be supported by Mao Xiangguo, Wei Niangzi is not to make a bad deal, it is better to give her a great opportunity to be courteous, this Fang family is still diligent, if Wei Niangzi is impatient to come forward in person in the future, it is convenient to explain Fang's errands. ”
Wei Shi refused to see it several times, indeed because he really didn't look down on the Shang family, and she didn't think much of the long words in front of Binu, but the last sentence happened to be in the middle of it.
It turns out that even though the Wei family is Mao Wei's henchmen, but Mao Wei's henchmen are numerous, the Wei family is not the most valued, so seeing Yuan Dezhi then worship the prime minister, the Wei family also sprouted a good heart, Wei because of marrying into the clan, and He Zhan's eldest sister-in-law, the status of the mother's family is obviously important, because although she is a daughter, many important affairs of the Wei family not only do not hide from her, but also often focus on entrusting the Wei family, so the Wei family is instructed by the family to move around with the Yuan family from time to time, of course, it is impossible to directly flatter Yuan Dezhi, but to take the way of the inner family.
Although Mrs. Yuan is Yuan Dezhi's wife, but because of her humble background, she has never shown her face, but Da Yao Ji is in charge of house affairs, including socializing and socializing, and a concubine should have been starved and ridiculed for coming forward to entertain guests, but Yuan Dezhi has already supported Da Yao Ji as a flat wife, and then has the affection of Concubine Yuan Xian, such as Wei's active flattery guests will not underestimate her on the surface, and Wei's even pleases Mrs. Xiangguo, who regards Da Yao's as a genuine brand.
Then it becomes a matter of course to maintain friendship with Xiao Yao Ji, but although the Wei family intends to make friends with the Yao sisters, they are deeply afraid of the princess of Wei County, if they are too close to Xiao Yao's family and are hated by the princess of the county, then they can't eat and walk around, and at this time, they were reminded by Binu's "unintentional", and Wei's eyes immediately lit up.
Although the Fang family is from a humble background, her husband is now a county order, and he can still be considered "handy", and what is even more advantageous is that Fang's father is an old servant of Mao Xiang, and on the surface he has no direct relationship with him, even if she and Yao Ji often come and go, Princess Wei County cannot implicate herself even if she is to blame.
As for whether the Fang family will be burned, the Wei family can't take care of it so much, but she firmly believes that now that there is a rebellion in the Ruyang royal party, how can the queen mother not be too partial to Xiao Wei, even if Xiao Wei holds a grudge, most of them are secretly stumbling, and they will never be able to force Fang to ask her who instructed her to curry favor with Yao Ji?
Therefore, this time Binu's appearance can be said to be a success, not only did the Fang family get his wish, but he was grateful to her, and even the Wei family also showed that this maid was clever and highly valued by Shi Niang, and she was a person who should not be underestimated.
