"I have met you once since I got married, but I don't know much about Butler Qin."
Su Nianyun praised, "Looking at it today, Steward Qin is so considerate of this servant that he actually came to thank me personally for Bai He's matter."
"This..." Butler Qin was stunned by Su Nianyun's compliment.
But think about it, the princess just married into the Chen family not long ago.
His affair with Bai He was not well known to everyone.
Especially since he has a wife and children at home, externally he is a good, strict and responsible husband.
Butler Qin immediately said, "In any case, Bai He was recommended by me to serve in Tingfeng Yuan. I should be responsible for her and Tingfeng Yuan."
"If she makes a mistake, I will never tolerate it, and if she has an injustice, I will not let it go!"
"Yes," Su Nianyun nodded, "The Chen family is really lucky to have such a responsible and good housekeeper as Butler Qin."
"I also hope that after Butler Qin comes back, those caring people can really feel at peace."
Su Nianyun glanced at Xia Yue, who came to Butler Qin holding a brocade box.
Butler Qin curiously opened the brocade box, and when he found ten golden ingots inside, his eyes suddenly widened.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Princess, what are you doing? If you tell me, I will do it directly..."
He said this, but his eyes never left the contents of the brocade box.
Su Nianyun said, "Steward Qin, you also know that I came from Mobei."
"The rules of our Su family in Mobei are that a husband can only have one wife, and he is not allowed to take a concubine unless he reconciles with her, so..."
After hearing this, Butler Qin's eyes twinkled a little more.
Looking at his expression, Su Nianyun knew that he must be very aware of Zhou Yao's affairs.
He is the person that the old lady trusts the most.
There was an unknown smile on her lips, "So... I hope Butler Qin can help me, and I must not let that girl Biyu succeed!"
jasper?
"It turns out the princess is talking about this girl Biyu!"
Upon hearing Biyu's name, Butler Qin's tense body immediately relaxed.
"Princess, don't worry, what kind of thing is that girl? How dare she think about the uncle? It's just a daydream."
"As long as I, Butler Qin, are here, Mother Zhao and Biyu will never be able to become arrogant!"
"With Butler Qin's words, I feel relieved now!"
Su Nianyun also had a relieved expression.
"I heard that Butler Qin has a new son recently, and I don't have anything to give him as a gift. Please use these ten gold ingots for your son to play with!"
Butler Qin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
People who came out of the palace were so unusual that they gave gold ingots to their children as toys to play with?
However, the princess asked him for a favor and had good intentions. If he didn't accept it, the princess would definitely be worried.
Finally, he took the brocade box from Xia Yue's hand and left.
When he took the brocade box, his hand brushed Xia Yue's hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Xia Yue flinched and quickly retracted her hand.
On the day she was assigned to go to the kitchen, Butler Qin offered to help her arrange a better errand as a bait, hinting that she would obey him.
Xia Yue refused without hesitation. For this reason, Butler Qin threatened to marry her and Chunhua to Zhuangzi.
Xia Yue has never told anyone about this matter.
But in fact, her cowering just now was seen by Su Nianyun. Thinking that Butler Qin is always in and out of Zhuangzi, it seems that this guy was probably the one who married Chunhua and Qiuyue to Zhuangzi in the end.
Butler Qin returned to his room and opened the brocade box again.
This time, he no longer needed to hold it like he did in Tingfeng Court, but laughed out loud.
"Haha, hahaha...that's great!"
He took out the gold ingots in the brocade box one by one, kissed them, put them in his mouth and bit them hard, and then put them in front of his eyes one by one to look at them.
As the chief steward of the Chen Mansion, he had seen a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the Chen Mansion's warehouse before, but that was all when Mr. Chen was still alive.
At that time, Mr. Chen was still the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He had a distinguished family behind him, and he was in an official position. His family was rich in gold and silver, and he was able to make a lot of money from it.
However, a sudden illness suddenly took away Mr. Chen's life, and the Chen family gradually declined.
To outsiders, the Chen family seemed to be the same as before with the support of the old lady, but no one knew more than him, the person in charge of the accounting room.
"It seems that the old lady is on the right track by mobilizing the uncle to marry Princess Nianyun!"
The casual reward was gold ingots, and it was not without reason that the old lady had been thinking about her dowry.
He rubbed the gold ingot over and over again, feeling full of love in his heart.
In fact, there was no need for the princess to single out mother and daughter Zhao Ma and Biyu. If they were bullying Bai He while he was away, he would not just sit back and watch them get on top of him.
The several stewards of Chen Mansion have always stood on three pillars.
He was in charge of the front yard and accounting room, Zhao Ma was in charge of the backyard and kitchen, and Wen Ma took personal care of the old lady.
If Biyu becomes the uncle's side wife, then their mother and daughter's status in the mansion will be higher than his, and he will never sit idly by.
…
"Princess, are you giving Butler Qin ten gold ingots too much?"
When only Nanny Liu was left in the room, she asked doubtfully.
Su Nianyun smiled and said, "With only ten gold ingots, you can watch him and Zhao Ma fight each other, and it's not a loss!"
"Steward Qin is greedy for money, and Ma Zhao loves power. It's easy to manipulate them. What I'm worried about is Ma Wen."
With the combined experiences of two lives, Su Nianyun realized that the most extraordinary person in the Chen family was Wen's mother.
She doesn't talk much and seems to be silently guarding the old lady, but every time she opens her mouth, she always gets to the point.
"I want to find a way to get rid of Mother Wen, but I shouldn't do it too quickly." Su Nianyun murmured.
"Why is this?" Grandma Liu was puzzled for a moment.
"Mommy, do you think that if the three most trusted confidants around you get into trouble one after another, will it arouse the old lady's vigilance?"
“Haste makes waste… slowly simmer in warm water, and finally serve it in one pot over high heat!”
After hearing Su Nianyun's remarks, Grandma Liu opened her eyes wide.
"Princess, why do you feel like you look more and more like the Queen Mother?"
"Do they look alike?" Su Nianyun touched her face, "The Queen Mother is much more beautiful than me!"
Grandma Liu smiled, that's not what she was talking about.
In the blink of an eye, Su Nianyun and Su Cheng's seven-day period has arrived.
However, it was not Su Cheng who came back from Mobei with red sun grass, but Su Cheng's son Su Ming.
Following him were more than a dozen young and strong Su clan members.
Ever since the surviving Su clan merged into the Yao clan, Su Cheng and Su Ming, father and son, have been taking care of the less than a hundred clan members who are old, weak, sick and disabled.
After his father came to Beijing, he has been responsible for transporting medicinal materials and furs from Mobei to the capital.
This time, before it was time to deliver the goods, my father suddenly came back, which shocked everyone in the Su clan.
Going to the capital to sell medicinal materials and furs was their only way to survive. Once the shops in the capital failed, their goods would have to accept the Yao family's monopoly.
Although Yao's principle of purchasing goods is not to force the sale or purchase, he can sell if he is willing to sell, and if he is not willing to sell, he can find a way to sell it by himself.
However, due to previous conflicts between the two clans, the Yao family deliberately kept the prices of the Su family's goods to the lowest level.
Even if it is sold, the money will not be enough for Su's life.
Just when everyone was trembling, thinking that Su Cheng had brought back bad news, they didn't want to wait for Su Cheng to open his mouth, but it turned out to be shocking good news.
Their little master who was far away from the palace never forgot them. The little master got a large piece of land from the Queen Mother and wanted to take them to settle in the capital.
The news quickly spread to the ears of every Su clan member, and everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles.
So, according to his father's order, Su Ming took people to pick the red sun grass that the young master wanted and went to Beijing first.
Su Cheng, on the other hand, led the remaining tribesmen to simply pack up, pack lightly, and set off for the capital together.
