There is a saying that if you don't ask for others, then you can only tolerate your idleness when you ask for someone's name.
After leaving the Xia Mansion, Xu Yi hosted a banquet for the two of them.
Like Zhen Ping, Wu Quan also has great respect for Xu Yi. At the wine table, Wu Quan repeatedly stated that Steward Xia is famous for getting things done after receiving gifts. His reputation and reputation have always been excellent.
He also revealed a secret, saying that the reason why Steward Xia was so powerful in the Xia Mansion was because Steward Xia's biological sister was Xia Sibo's most favored concubine.
With this relationship, Xu Yi is somewhat relieved.
He also knows that today's Yin Court is extremely turbid, and there is no one who is not greedy or possessive. After all, officials belong to the Yin Court, and the benefits are their own. Everyone needs resources to cultivate themselves, so how can they have the energy to serve the people.
Xu Yi Here they were drinking and drinking, waiting for the good news, but there was quite a commotion in the Xia Mansion.
Xu Yi waited for Steward Xia to go, then Steward Xia picked up a big box and went to Upper Rooms to find Xia Sibo.
In order to show the richness of the gift, Steward Xia specially poured the three hundred Incense Bead out of Sumeru Ring and stuffed it directly into the treasure box.
When he arrived, Xia Sibo was checking official documents in the study, and a charming and charming woman was adding fragrance to her bare hands beside her.
Seeing him come in, the charming woman frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you that when my husband is busy with official duties, no one is allowed to disturb him? I don't know what my brother is doing."
This girl is Steward Xia's little sister, and is now the most favored female family member in the Xia family.
The displeasure that appeared on Xia Sibo's face immediately disappeared, he waved his hands and said, "Xia Fang is not an outsider, why should Zhen Niang be harsh? Tell me, what's the matter?"
Steward Xia did not answer at first, but opened the treasure box in his arms. In an instant, the light fell on Incense Bead, illuminating the study brilliantly.
Zhen Niang was happy, and Xia Sibo's face sank, "You accepted the gift again. I have beaten you more than once. Why are you always a dog... and you don't have a long memory."
Steward Xia said, "This person's attack was extremely heavy, with a total of three hundred."
A look of shock flashed across Xia Sibo's face. He stared at the treasure box for several seconds and said in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on?"
Steward Xia spoke out what Xu Yi was seeking, and Xia Sibo's face darkened, "I knew it wasn't a free bargain. This matter can't be solved, so I sent it back."
Steward Xia had a bitter look on his face, but before he could persuade him again, Xia Sibo said angrily, "Why, are you really the head of the Xia Mansion now?"
With a pop, Steward Xia fell to his knees and said "dare not".
Zhen Niang also fell to his knees, sobbing non-stop, and immediately burst into tears.
Xia Sibo lifted Zhen Niang up in distress, "Why are you doing this? When did I bother you?"
Zhen Niang sobbed and said, "Zhen Niang It's not because I'm angry with Zhen Niang, Zhen Niang is just angry that my brother doesn't give Zhen Niang Long Face, it makes the master angry, Zhen Niang My brother is incompetent, Zhen Niang's face is shameless, my wife will definitely take this as an attack if she knows this, and Xia Lang will be more annoyed again, Zhen Niang I don't want Xia Lang to be sad."
Xia Sibo's face was full of regret, he held Zhen Niang in his arms, and said warmly, "Zhen Niang Don't worry, how could I let that jealous woman know about this, and don't be angry with Xia Fang. He has always been able to use it, but he just doesn't know the inside story."
After comforting Zhen Niang, Xia Sibo swept a stream of air and lifted Steward Xia up, "It's not that I'm hard-hearted, it's just that this matter can't be done. You should know that you can get Roving Official Seal Who are the people in, and none of them have good hands and eyes. If the time had been earlier, it might not be impossible to operate, but in three days it will be the official appointment period. Who should be assigned and what official position will be assigned. Go ahead and return the things to others."
Steward Xia accepted the order and when he bowed to retreat, he caught a glimpse of Zhen Niang's eyes and felt puzzled.
After half a stick of incense, Zhen Niang's personal maid Dong Mei came to invite him. Steward Xia came to Zhuxin Courtyard and met Zhen Niang.
There was no one around, so Steward Xia no longer adhered to formal etiquette. He sat on the stone bench, grabbed the snacks on the stone table and started eating by himself.
Zhen Niang said angrily, "Even if you put on the dragon robe, you can't become a prince. It's been three years since you were promoted to a high-ranking official, and you still can't get rid of your dissolute behavior. When will you become a useful person?"
Steward Xia ignored her, grabbed the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth, "If you have anything to say, just tell me, Lord Zhang asked me to play leaf cards, I don't have time to listen to your chatter."
Zhen Niang said, "Those three hundred Incense Bead, do you really plan to return them?"
Steward Xia was startled and immediately stopped eating and drinking, staring at Zhen Niang in surprise and said, "What do you mean, you don't want to have the idea of these three hundred Incense Bead, do you? No, absolutely not, that person must be more than ordinary, he is a person who holds Roving Official Seal. Not only do I have to pay back these three hundred Incense Bead, I also have to pay back the benefits I received from him."
Zhen Niang sneered, "I didn't expect that the fat in your mouth was really willing to let go, but it actually grew."
Steward Xia said, "This is not something we are reluctant to part with. Our business is like doing business. We look at the long term. We must not ruin our reputation just because we are greedy for temporary gains. If our reputation is ruined, this business will be done." At the end of the day, I can still figure out which end is more and which is less. Not only can I understand it, but Sir Si Bo can also figure it out. Otherwise, do you think these three hundred Incense Bead really can't fall into the eyes of Sir Si Bo?"
Zhen Niang said, "This is the truth, but things have their own rules. Now is an emergency, so we should use extraordinary measures. The old man's birthday is coming soon, the old jealous woman is about to die, and those charming bitches are holding back their energy. On the occasion of the old man's birthday, he caused some troubles. At this time, how can I fall behind? Lower Vehicle. Although Xia Lang dotes on me, but without the old man's nodding, I can't even think of setting things right. What I mean, brother, do you understand?"
Steward Xia was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Zhen Niang continued, "If things go wrong, my brother will just lose his money, but if my sister and I can put things right, the entire Xia family will be ours, no matter who has more or less, I don't need to teach my brother how to settle this debt."
Steward Xia put away his frivolity, sighed, and said, "I didn't know that my current wealth was all thanks to my sister. My sister's affairs are naturally of first-class importance. But that person is very important. No one who can get Roving Official Seal is simple. In terms of official rank, he is not lower than Lord Sibo. If I offend such a person, I am afraid of endless troubles."
Zhen Niang said, "I'm not trying to steal. My brother can discuss with that person and say that he will give it to him later. Just don't make a written note. With Xia Lang's face, there can always be some grace. By then, my sister will stand up and three hundred Incense Bead can still be obtained from Xia Lang."
Steward Xia pondered for a moment and said, "That's all. Fortunately, this person is an unorganized official with no roots. It is expected that he won't cause much trouble. Let's talk to him. If he agrees, then agree. If he doesn't agree, just ignore him. Is it possible that he can still knock on the door?"
Zhen Niang waved his hand, "It must not be like this. Respect others and greet them with a smile. That person can't ask for Xia Lang now. As long as he doesn't appoint an official, he can always ask for it, and he will definitely not break up."
Steward Xia smiled and said, "My sister is still smarter."
