As soon as the first lunar month passed, Qin Xun sent someone to Xie's house to deliver a post, wanting to visit Qin Yan.

As a result, he didn't even hand over the post, so he was sent back.

The person who handed over the post was quite aggrieved: "The porter of the Xie family said that the old lady of the Xie family drank more greedy cups during the New Year, and later suffered from a cold and a cold, and asked the doctor to take the medicine to get better, and since then he has been recuperating, saying that he has not seen any guests." ”

Qin Xun frowned and waved his hand to let people go down.

Then he walked to the bookcase, asked Qinggu to polish the ink, picked up a pen and wrote a line of words, then sealed the paper and handed it to Qinggu: "You give this letter to Li Siniang, let her personally go to the Xie family, and hand it over to the eldest wife of the Xie family." ”

Qinggu took the letter and asked with some hesitation: "We sent someone to deliver the post before, but the concierge of the Xie family didn't go in to tell you, can Sister Siniang go?" ”

"She naturally has a way, I believe her." Qin Xun's trust in Li Siniang is undoubted, whether it is loyalty or work ability.

Li Siniang listened to Qinggu's words, took the letter and said to Xiaolong: "You go to the stable, I want to go out, let them prepare a carriage, and wait outside the West Corner Gate." ”

Xiao Long left in response, and Qinggu also said: "I'll go back first, there can't be a shortage of people around my wife." ”

Li Siniang thought for a while and asked, "Can Qingqian get started?" ”

"In general, she has no problem, but my wife is used to telling me to do things, so I am probably not familiar with her."

"You have more snacks, and my wife is very wary, and it is not easy to accept a person wholeheartedly."

"I know, Sister Siniang doesn't have to worry about me." Qinggu tilted his head, showed a slightly mischievous smile, and then turned to leave.

Li Siniang looked at Qinggu's back in a trance, and in the blink of an eye, this little girl who was protected by her had become a girl who could take charge of herself.

Li Siniang soon came back from the Xie family, and went to report to Qin Xun as soon as possible.

Coriander is inspecting the spices, carefully comparing the color, fragrance, taste, and shape, and then drawing and writing on the paper the comparison between the habits of the spice and the same kind of incense.

Li Siniang stood aside and watched for a while, without disturbing Qin Xun.

After a while, Qin Coriander put down the pen, stood up and went to wash his hands, Li Siniang hurriedly followed, handed over a clean handkerchief, waited for Qin Coriander to wipe his hands clean, and dug a little bit of his hands from the balsam that Li Siniang opened.

"What did Mrs. Xie say?" Qin Xun asked Li Siniang, but the person walked towards the kang.

Li Siniang followed, poured tea for Qin Coward, and saw that Qin Coriander pointed to the edge of the kang on the other side, so she sat on the side for half of her buttocks, and leaned towards Qin Coriander to talk carefully about her going to Xie's house.

"The concierge of the Xie family seems to be a little hostile to the people of our family, and when they heard that the people of the Xiao family frowned and drove us away, they didn't wait for me to speak, and said that the old lady was not a guest."

Qin Xun was a little puzzled: "The first time I came to the door, the Xie family's attitude was quite good, could it be that something happened in the middle?" ”

"Later, I said that the eldest wife of their family I met, the concierge was still a little stunned, I said that I had an important letter to present to the eldest wife, if they didn't report it, it would be their responsibility to wait for something to happen in the future, so the concierge went to tell it."

"Later, Jiao's mother came out, saying that the eldest lady was busy, so I asked me to hand over the letter to her."

Li Siniang naturally wouldn't hand it over to her, saying that she had been instructed by her own wife and would have to be handed over to the eldest wife.

Seeing that Jiao's mother was impatient, Li Siniang said again, if she was not allowed to see the eldest lady, then she would take the letter away.

Seeing her attitude, Jiao's mother no longer insisted, and took Li Siniang to meet Mrs. Xie.

"I saw the eldest lady of the Xie family, so I handed the letter to Jiao's mother."

Li Siniang smiled and said, "Mrs. Xie immediately opened the envelope, and her face changed dramatically with just a glance, and she looked at me as if she wanted to eat people, and asked what we were going to do?" I said that our wife just wanted to see the old lady of the Xie family from time to time, but I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Xie family immediately agreed, and said that we could come to the door at any time. ”

Qin Xun was not surprised to have such a result, after all, she was in charge of the fate of the eldest wife of the Xie family.

Li Siniang glanced at Qin Xun's expression, and saw that she seemed to be in a good mood, so she asked tentatively, "Madam, what is the matter in your letter?" I saw that Mrs. Xie's face changed abruptly, and even Jiao's mother was very surprised. ”

Qin Xun thought about it, and still said to Li Siniang: "I only tell you about this matter, I hope you don't talk about it to others." ”

"Yes!" Li Siniang understood that the reason why Qin Xun told her was that she was afraid that there was something important that she needed to do.

"The eldest wife of the Xie family has been in charge of the family for many years, and the eldest lady of the Xie family also relies on his father's relationship to be an official in the court. The second master of the Xie family also found an official position, and the third master of the Xie family is a concubine, in charge of the family's shop and grange, and is responsible for earning money for the Xie family. ”

"The Xie family seems to be full of flowers and thriving, but in fact, it has long been empty inside." When Qin Xun talked about the Xie family, Li Siniang had some doubts in her heart.

Qin Xun continued: "The Xie family is the head of the big house, and the eldest wife of the Xie family is in charge of the family's affairs, and all expenses must go through her hands. The second room is dissatisfied, but after all, he is the second son, so he can't say much, so he can only create some difficulties for the big house from time to time. ”

"But the real trouble is the third room, because the third room is a concubine, but the ability does not belong to any sister-in-law, especially the second master of the second room, not only has no talent, but eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does everything, especially, he likes to listen to operas, and has raised a troupe outside, and the silver is spent without mercy, if the eldest lady can't get the silver, he will go to find the third master, and the third room is miserable."

Li Siniang didn't quite understand, she just asked what was written in the letter, but Mrs. talked carefully about the situation of the Xie family.

Qin Xun took a sip of tea and continued to speak, his eyes looked out the window, and his tone was a little erratic: "The contradiction of the Xie family is not a big problem, but as the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, if it goes on like this, this family will not be far from falling apart." ”

"And the letter I wrote to Mrs. Xie was only one sentence." Qin Xun retracted his gaze and became serious: "The eldest young master of the Xie family is selling officials. ”

Li Siniang's face changed greatly, and she almost stood up from the kang.

It's not that Li Siniang thinks that this matter is so serious that she is afraid of outsiders, but that this matter is related to the entire lifeline of the Xie family, and the wife writes a letter to threaten others so generously, this is not Ming Huanghuang telling the Xie family: I know your handle, and this is almost a declaration of war!

"Madam, why are we enemies with the Xie family?" Li Siniang and Qin Xun have always been more direct than others, and she also knows that Qin Xun likes this.

"Because, I want others to know that we are at odds with the Xie family, and if, one day, the Xie family falls, we will not be implicated." Qin Xun's words are not good, but they are very reasonable.

Although Li Siniang didn't know why Qin Xun was determined that the Xie family would be unlucky, and that she would implicate the Xiao family, who was not considered an in-law, she trusted Qin Xun unconditionally.

This kind of trust was engraved from the moment she looked back and saw Qin Cian when she was paraded on the street.

"Ma'am, but what do you need me to do?" Li Siniang was silent for only a few breaths, then raised her head and asked Qin Xun.

Qin Xun was very satisfied with Li Siniang's intelligence, and nodded with a smile: "I do have something to trouble you." If you don't want to, you can refuse, and I won't blame you. ”
