After Sizhong left, Ning Boyang and Hardy came in. Ning Boyang said: "Second brother, this man from a hundred households is here to please you. It seems that he doesn't dare to hold grudges anymore." I sighed, He said: "It would be great if this is the case, I'm afraid he is not like this. Silun's death has something to do with us. Even if we get along well, I still feel vaguely uneasy." Hardy said: "In this case, how can Commander Liao let him Is he here?" Ning Boyang smiled and said: "Silly brother, Commander Liao is such a smart person, how could he arrange such a thing!"
I looked at him in surprise, and Ning Boyang hurriedly said: "I heard that Eunuch Qiu brought him here!" Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and I signaled to stop talking. The two of them were very strange, but they saw Hu The steward walked to the door and said nervously: "You three gentlemen, guests are arriving!"
I was about to ask who was visiting, but someone had already walked in and said, "Well, Zhang Ying, you didn't come out to pick me up!"
The visitor turned out to be Miss Ning Xi, with a displeased look on her face, but I was extremely pleasantly surprised. I couldn't help but think of what many people had said to me. If Ning Xi had not often mentioned and praised me in the palace, I would not have been able to achieve success in one step. The man quickly bowed and saluted, and I said, "Miss Ning Xi, why are you here?" Miss Ning Xi sneered and said, "You are so proud!" Upon seeing this, Ning Boyang said, "Miss, please sit down quickly!" As he said that, he bent down and extended his hand. Ning Xi didn't even look at her, but walked around. When she saw those maids, she became even more angry. Although she didn't speak, it was obvious that she was very angry. After walking for a while, she walked away. After returning to the living room and sitting down, I quickly asked someone to serve tea, and then asked: "Miss Ning Xi, why are you here?"
Ning Xi glanced at me and said: "What? You have been promoted to Qianhu, and why don't you come to thank me as a great benefactor? If I hadn't mentioned you a few words in front of the emperor's brother, you could have been promoted to Qianhu so quickly. The throne?" Emperor Zhengde did mention a few words that day. It must have been Ning Xi who praised me in front of him. I quickly bowed deeply and said: "Of course I know that I have always wanted to visit you, but I have just taken office. I still have to do a lot of things, so I was delayed.”
Ning Xi snorted and said, "When you become a member of a thousand households, you will be given gifts of the house, servants, and gold, silver, and jewelry, right?"
My face heated up, and I cupped my hands and said, "To be honest, these things were indeed given by others, and I just stayed here for one night. If the lady feels that they are inappropriate, I will return them right now."
I said it very seriously, because I knew that Ning Xi must have come to trouble me, but I didn't know where the trouble started. Sure enough, Ning Xi's tone was slightly calmer and she said, "You are quite honest. Although I am not the censor supervising the yamen, I also know that you are not from a good place with these things."
Manager Hu listened and hurriedly whispered: "Eunuch Liu gave it to Master Qianhu. He said the emperor also knew about it."
"Which Eunuch Liu?" Ning Xi raised her voice and asked. As soon as I heard it, I knew that I knew what I was asking. Just as I was about to speak, Ning Boyang, who had been smiling beside him, jumped in and said, "Eunuch Liu Jin!"
"Eunuch Liu Jin is now the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. How could he give you a small house with one thousand households? This house is luxuriously decorated and is the outhouse of a has-been prince. It costs at least two or three hundred thousand taels." I’m so generous to give you the money!”
I was shocked. I knew it was very valuable, but so much was really unexpected. I couldn’t help but look wildly in my eyes and said, “It’s so expensive. I, I thought it was only ten thousand taels of silver!”
Ning Xi smiled and said, "You country bumpkin!"
The atmosphere calmed down and Ning Xi said: "You all go out, I will have a few words with Zhang Qianhu!" Ning Boyang and others hurriedly left. But Ning Xi stared at me, with a serious face and sharp eyes. I couldn't help but feel scared in my heart and said, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh again and said: "I entered the palace today and passed by you, so I came to see you. I have something to ask you to help me with." I couldn't help but be nervous. This place is far away from the Forbidden City. How can I get there, but this This lady always doesn't do things according to the routine. If you can help me if you can, she asked me to help. But with a smile on her face, she said: "Miss, if you want me to help you with anything, just ask me!"
Ning Xi said: "I'm not joking with you. There are always people appearing near my house recently, mysteriously. My father called for people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. As a result, these idiots couldn't find out anything, and they still followed Lost it, I think you can do it, so I went to Jinyiwei to look for you today and told you to take a rest, so I came here."
Ning Xi sighed as she spoke. Looking at her petite body, I suddenly felt a pitiful feeling. I felt proud and said, "Don't worry, miss. I will arrange for someone to do this right away. I will definitely check it out." What’s going on, please give the Marquis’ Mansion some peace.”
Ning Xi nodded, said nothing, stood up and left. I was really puzzled and couldn't ask any more questions, so I just led everyone to see them off. Ning Xi didn't say a word, frowned, and arrived at the door in a depressed manner. Only then did I see Manager Ge and others waiting outside. , I hurriedly bowed my hand to General Manager Ge, and General Manager Ge returned the courtesy politely. Ning Xi suddenly turned around and said: "You should arrange someone to do this as soon as possible, so as not to worry the Marquis. In addition, I am not feeling well. I heard that you have medical skills." , I’m going to go out for a walk in a few days, you can come and accompany me!”
I quickly said yes, Ning Xi nodded, looked at me with watery eyes, then smiled slightly, nodded, and went straight to the warm sedan. Manager Ge and others followed and got on the horse, said hello to me, and shouted, The group went.
As if in a dream, I kept watching the people from the Marquis' Mansion walking away. Ning Boyang said with a smile: "Second brother, your eyes are about to pop out. I'm afraid Miss Ning Xi has fallen in love with you!" There was a hint of sourness in the words, and I felt a heat on my face. I came back to my senses and said, "Just I'm afraid you will never forget it! We are all sesame people, so don't have wishful thinking." Ning Boyang chuckled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. In the Ming Dynasty, many princes, daughters, and even princesses married into ordinary families. And to tell you the truth, most of them are commanders and so on. Second brother, you have a great chance. If you work hard and become a commander, you can probably win the beauty!" I glared at him, but found that he had a serious look on his face. Shaking his head helplessly, he said, "I don't have that much to think about. Let's go back and study some serious matters first!" Back at the house, I found what Ning Xi said more and more unbelievable. Could it be that Cao Jing and Silun were accomplices at the time? Silen committed suicide, and Cao Jing shouldered all the blame. It was said that there would be no more comrades, but who would it be? Recently, no one in the Jinyiwei blog mentioned what happened there. Although I had no clue, this matter needed to be arranged as soon as possible. I said to Ning Boyang and Hardy, "Which of you two will go back soon? Send someone immediately." Go to the area around the Marquis's Mansion to be on guard and see who they are! Catch the ones who should be arrested!"
Ning Boyang volunteered, "I'll do this!" I knew what he was thinking about Ning Xi, so I nodded and said, "It's best if you go and be more attentive! However, Miss Ning Xi doesn't look too happy. Be careful and don't disturb her easily!" Ning Boyang smiled and said: "Second brother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter. Miss Ning Xi is unhappy because her distant cousin Xue Shen and Xue Qianhu are... She is getting married, and the Queen Mother is the matchmaker, so she feels uncomfortable! She has always had this cousin in her heart!"
Of course I know that Xue Shen, Ning Xi and Emperor Zhengde are all related by relatives. When Ning Boyang said it, there was some truth in it. He couldn't help but smile and said: "We who are wrong about Miss Ning Xi's thoughts should not make random guesses. But, brother, it’s your fault that you are so well-informed and don’t tell us!”
Ning Boyang smiled awkwardly and said: "I am not as favored by nobles as you, and you don't like to hear these trivial matters, so I can't talk to you. In the future, if you want to hear it, I can also talk about it. It's just that , but walls have ears, and it’s not good if I say too much.”
Liao Jianzhong said that there are many people here who have Liu Jin's eyes and ears, but Ning Boyang was able to say it, which really surprised me. From the time he joined Jinyiwei, although his skills were ordinary, he didn't know that he had more information than us. How many. It seems that dealing with others is also a science.
