Chapter 33 Yan Xiyao's study plays a double reed, and Qin Siqi stops Li Si halfway
"Dogs are fine? This...... What does that mean? Please also ask the adults to dial one or two. ”
I heard Yan Xiyao laugh and said: "The tragedy of the destruction of Chang'an County the year before last, I never found the place where the body was hidden, and it was found by a dog, so the case was solved...... yes, recruit that dog to the criminal department and give him an errand...... Not excessive, right? ”
"Not excessive." The official replied.
Yan Xiyao said again: "Last year, the sage Jingshi's private salt was rampant, which made the saint angry, this dog can smell which bag is private salt and which bag is official salt, because it is only then that such a big case was discovered, such a merit...... Give a prison name...... Not excessive, right? ”
"Not excessive."
In the first month, this dog barked at Zuodu Yushi, and only later found out that Zuodu Yushi, who was out of his name, had privately collected tens of thousands of taels of dirty silver from salt merchants! If you can do this, go up one more liter...... Makes sense, right? ”
"This ...... Makes sense. The official paused and said, "My lord, why don't you change the dog to a human to make it easier to call." ”
Yan Xiyao smiled and groaned: "This person ...... Where is the dog faithful? Yes? Hahaha-"
"Lord Yan, the lower officials are loyal to your lords. Unbelief...... If you don't believe adults, listen, Wangwang...... Woohoo! ”
"Hahaha, it's over, this official is just a naughty remark, how can you still take it seriously? Eat tea and eat tea. ”
In the screen, Li Weijian squinted his eyes, perhaps because of his age, he only felt that the anger was rising, and his hands unconsciously twisted the placket into twists.
Yan Xiyao seems to be instructing his subordinates, but in fact, he is clearly playing a double reed for himself here! This singing and harmony is clearly forcing himself to be a dog for him.
Since he was born here, Li Weijian knew early on that no matter what he wanted to do, he would either be difficult to control, or he would always have to find a backer.
Now that I think about it, he was like this in his previous life, and he is still like this in this life. Tsk, the things are still those things, the people are still those people! Nothing has changed!
smiled at himself, thinking of the rich Yangzhou salt merchants, who desperately sent silver to the palace every Qianqiu and Wanshou Festival (Note 1); Thinking about the officials who studied hard for more than ten or twenty years outside and became a jinshi, but learned to bark in front of Yan Xiyao.
Li Weijian realized that the so-called people who achieve great things are not informal, and the humble gentleman is afraid that it will be difficult to make progress in this year.
But...... Yan Xiyao wants to be a dog for him, so he has to see if it is bone or meat that is thrown over. He Li Weijian doesn't have the habit of being a dog for nothing!
After talking about business for a while, Yan Xiyao brought tea to the guests and ordered someone to send the official out.
Then he said, "Come back to life." ”
Li Weijian tidied up his clothes, his face was ordinary, he raised his head and walked around the screen, and saluted Yan Xiyao from afar: "I've seen Shao Sikou." ”
"Well, sit."
Yan Xiyao waved his hand, Li Weijian took the teapot and poured tea for him, and then poured another for himself, and then Shi Shiran sat down.
Yan Xiyao looked Li Weijian up and down a few times, and said approvingly: "Yes, Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and did not look instantly. I was right.
Yesterday, did you suffer any trouble when you returned home? ”
Li Weijian said with a smile: "Shao Sikou said that he laughed, the students behaved correctly and sat upright, where would anyone make things difficult?" ”
"Hahaha, good!" Yan Xiyao smiled and said: "In the past two days, Fusheng will not go to the firearms test range outside the city, follow Jingwen, and go to the outer city military academy - it is beneficial." ”
There are benefits? Could it be that the spiral-rifled pipe was built?
Li Weijian knew that Yan Xiyao's official skills in front of him were perfect, and he never left half of his speech, and he would not show his grip at all.
Because he didn't ask what the benefits were, he just got up and said, "Yes, thank you Shao Sikou for your help." ”
"Well, let's go back to life if there's nothing to do."
Li Weijian got up and retired, got out of the study, and walked around the side garden again. The father and son of the Liu family chiseled down another foot, and the result was still seeping water outward, and now while driving the water pump, they are busy sticking to the bluestone and Sanhe soil.
After only looking at it for a while, Li Weijian led Wu Haiping out of Yan's mansion.
The two let the horses go, and Li Weijian couldn't help but sigh: "It's so difficult to get motivated." ”
Wu Haiping glanced at him and said, "Son, are you still difficult?" You don't know how many wrongful roads I ran last night. In order to inquire about the driver, the little one was almost locked up in the outer city and couldn't get in. ”
Li Weijian tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, and said, "Is your owner the second or the third?" ”
"Frontal ......" Wu Hai's plane color changed suddenly.
"No words, just a gesture."
Wu Haiping looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention, so he quietly drew three fingers.
Li Weijian knew it in his chest, this was interesting, he didn't want it to be the master. vaguely remembered that the master had a grudge against Jiafu.
At this time, it is still early, and tomorrow is Daiyu's birthday. Li Weijian walked around the bustling places in the inner city, and he always had to choose a gift.
Finally, he found a foreign goods shop near the left side of Mashi Bridge, walked into the inside, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something, and he walked over a few times to reach out and pick it up.
The shopkeeper said attentively: "Son's good vision, good foreign goods, look at this workmanship, this texture, you don't have to choose!" ”
Li Weijian twisted the clockwork, and couldn't help but laugh after listening to it for a while.
"Is this a foreign product? Whose foreign goods put flowers in tune? ”
The shopkeeper's face was neither red nor white, he rubbed his hands and smiled: "Childe has good eyesight, this foreign product is actually made in the inner government, if you start, I will give you a hard discount." ”
"What's the price?"
The shopkeeper gestured with two fingers.
Li Weijian said: "It's not expensive, and two taels of silver can be regarded as some profit." ”
The shopkeeper's expression was stunned and anxious: "Don't you want to laugh, two or two?" The brass and glass cover can't get down for two taels of silver. Twenty taels! Don't be too expensive, can I sell it for thirty taels if you change someone else? ”
Where is Li Weijian willing to believe such nonsense?
After bargaining with the shopkeeper for a long time, he paid sixteen taels of silver and bought the object.
Out of the foreign goods shop, Wu Haiping said: "Son, it's not too early, isn't it time to go back?" I poured a stomach of tea at noon, and ate a snack, and the Five Organs Temple began to make a fuss. ”
"Well, there's nothing to do, let's go back."
The two turned over and got on their horses and walked back, and on the way, Li Weijian suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.
Forgot something? Forget it, left and right don't matter.
………………………………
Watermill alley.
There are three main rooms and two side rooms in the small courtyard.
The donkey cart carrying cinders passed through the alley, and the door of the main house in the small courtyard opened, revealing a plump face.
Seeing that it was only a donkey cart passing by, Si Qi frowned and closed the door again. Turning around and going to the inner room, sitting cross-legged on the kang, she frowned and thought: It's been such an hour, why hasn't the thrifty fourth master come yet?
She was originally the granddaughter of Wang Shanbao's family, and Wang Shanbao's family was Mrs. Xing's companion, relying on such convenience, she became the second girl's personal maid to welcome the spring.
can stay with the second girl for two years, and Si Qi realized that the second girl is a soft and cowardly character, and she is afraid that she will be unpowerful if she is married to her husband's family in the future. If she marries in the past, I don't know how much she will suffer!
In the blink of an eye, the second girl is fourteen, and she will be in time for the next year. Si Qi thought that instead of marrying in the past, it would be better to choose a wishful husband by himself.
It happened that his cousin Pan You'an left the door a few years ago and went to Defu to be a small servant. Pan You'an was born very standard, and he was petty-minded, and he secretly promised to come and go to Si Qi.
Bendao asked the second girl to make this matter clear before she got married, and asked her grandmother Wang Shanbao to ask for help, and matched herself with her cousin Pan You'an, not wanting to make waves!
Cousin Pan You'an, for the benefit of Jia Qiang's red mouth and white teeth, actually tricked the new Jian Fourth Master into going to the private alley! I thought that the thrifty fourth master would settle things and calm people, and I didn't want the situation to change suddenly in a few days, Pan You'an went to the street to buy and was arrested by the street patrol Yushi!
The cousin's family was naturally anxious, and asked for help everywhere, but there was no way to ask for help. Si Qi was worried about his cousin Pan You'an, so he went to ask his grandmother, but his grandmother was just Mrs. Xing's companion, not to say that it was her, but Mrs. Xing was afraid and powerless to intervene.
Si Qi has always been a lawless, and seeing that there was no way to ask for help, he simply turned his heart sideways, and then he had the idea of exchanging his pale body for Pan You'an's life.
Now she is worried in her heart, she is still a yellow flower girl, and she is inevitably a little uneasy in her heart. Thinking wildly in my heart, I remembered Pan You'an for a while, and then I thought about what I should do when the thrifty fourth master came......
Thinking of the thrifty fourth master, Si Qi suddenly had a ridiculous thought: the body was given to the thrifty fourth master, and it didn't seem to be a loss.
Secretly spitting on herself, she sighed again, it's been such an hour, and I don't know if the thrifty fourth master will come.
The sun is moving westward a little, and Si Qi's heart is sinking a little bit with the sun. Seeing that Shen was approaching, she suddenly smiled bitterly.
I don't think the thrifty fourth master will come...... Also, the maids in the room of the fourth master of thrift are pretty one by one, and I am afraid that being so rich is not in line with the mind of the fourth master of thrift.
But what about her? You can't see Pan You'an in prison.
Thinking about the letter that inquired, the thrifty fourth master probably returned in Shenshi, Si Qi didn't delay any longer, got up and went out to lock the door, and walked quickly towards Rongguo Mansion. She only took a day off, missed today, and there was no time for her to do so!
The waterwheel alley is not far from Rongguo's mansion, she has not entered the house when she reaches the back street, she avoids the back door far away, and sees that there is no one around, so she quickly walks into the private alley, and only prays in her heart that the thrifty fourth master will pass by here.
Xu is passing god is obviously spiritual, she stopped at the side door but for a moment, then saw the two of them turn around at the entrance of the private alley in front of her. The first to walk with his head held high was the thrifty fourth master!
Si Qi patiently felt the complicated and difficult feelings in his heart, holding his heart and silently waiting for the fourth master to approach, and then he stepped forward and bent over: "The fourth master is thrifty." ”
Li Weijian stopped, glanced at it, and then remembered the paper of that day. He was secretly annoyed and relieved.
He is only thirteen years old now, and he is not like Baoyu who does not care for his body, and it is too early to do the things of men and women at this time.
Because it was, he frowned and said, "It was originally a chess girl." ”
After a slight glance up and down, this chess player was actually a little taller than him, tall and plump, and his face was also a little colored. I am afraid that such a posture will not be welcomed at this time, and it must be the favorite of many people after three hundred years.
After a pause, he lowered his hand and said, "How old is Miss Siqi?" ”
"Sixteen." Si Qi said in a low voice.
"Well, girl's family, you still have to cherish yourself. Your cousin's business, if I can intervene, I will help. ”
Nodding, Li Weijian led Wu Haiping to staggered over, and Si Qi behind him turned around and hurriedly bent down: "Thank you Fourth Master Jian, I wish Fourth Master Jian the title of the gold list and the prince Wandai!" ”
When he got up, Li Weijian's figure was already no longer in front of him. Si Qi felt a warm current in his heart, thinking that this thrifty fourth master was really good at talking, and he was no worse than his cousin......
Breathing a sigh of relief, she had already done what she could do for her cousin Pan You'an, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it all depended on creation.
………………………………
Rika-in.
"My sister stays, I'll ask my lord to inquire when I go back, and I'll tell my sister when I have a letter."
"Hey, sister, go slowly."
Aunt Xue watched Mrs. Wang lead the maid and mother-in-law away, and then Shi Shiran and Baochai returned.
When I entered the main room, I saw Xue Pan suddenly slap the table and shouted: "The family is confined at home all day long, and nothing is done, it is really trapped to death!" Mom, in my opinion, the royal history of Raushzi's street patrol is to scare people. Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, the uncle is so extravagant, how can a little imperial history dare to be guilty? ”
He has been fighting with Xianglian and Yuai in school for the past two days, and he is about to enter the alley, where is he willing to be obediently confined at home?
Seeing that Xue Pan was in a temper, Aunt Xue came over and persuaded her: "My son, why don't you listen to the persuasion, didn't you see that your uncle said that this matter is difficult to do?" If you really go out and let that Yushi be caught, how can you call your mother to live! Woowoo woo ......"
"Brother!" Baochai glared at Xue Pan.
Xue Pan is flattering and lawless, but he is extremely affectionate. Seeing that Aunt Xue was about to cry, she suddenly got up in a panic and said, "Mom, don't cry, I just don't go out." Hey......"
Aunt Xue stopped her tears, took the handkerchief handed over by Baochai and wiped it slightly, and said, "My son, no matter how much you mess around in the past few days, my mother can't control it." But I hope that you will start a family as soon as possible, so that you can leave a son and a half daughter for the Xue family, and you will be worthy of your father's spirit in the sky.
Now that outsiders are plotting our family's family business, the imperial merchant is gone, and it is better than the Xue family's extinction. ”
Xue Pan's brows were tightened, but he felt extremely depressed, and suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and got up to leave.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Baochai hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, and Xue Pan said: "I, I'm going to find Brother Frugal to complain." Killing people is not enough, Xiangling was sent in front, I am going to be annoyed now, this matter has finally been revealed, right? I beg Brother Jian to help me again, I can't let our royal merchant be lost! ”
Baochai was speechless for a while. I have no choice but to put such a brother on the table!
Now that the knife is in the hands of the opponent, where can Li Weijian intervene in this matter?
Note 1: Qianqiu Festival, the birthday of the Queen Mother; Hallowe, the emperor's birthday.
