"Why do you ask about this?" Yin Yanzhi smiled, "It's been an old saying for several years, but suddenly I really can't remember it."

But also frank, refused to speak without refusing.

Sheng Xiuyi poured the wine for him with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I have discussed the affairs of Xiao's family. Xiao Yanfei will never stand up again. The Empress died last year, and the Empress Dowager was seriously ill. Now no one in the court dares to hold back His Majesty. I thought, Xing King Ping has raised that woman and child all these years, and now it will finally come in handy, right?"

Yin Yanzhi smiled: "It's you who said that! If it was someone else, I'd be jealous."

Sheng Xiuyi's smile subsided a little: "To tell you the truth, I'm really jealous. Brother Yan, are the singer and the child still in the Xingping Palace?"

Yin Yanzhi was surprised for a moment.

Sheng Xiuyi's expression made him unsure.I just feel that the person in front of me is not like the Sheng Xiuyi whom the commoner has known him for several years, but like a shrewd and wealthy son.

Yin Yanzhi drank alcohol and said after a while: "Tianhe, you and I have been honest and honest all these years, I will not hide it from you. Since I said this at the beginning, I also tell it now: that child is getting older every day, and his eyebrows and eyes are more and more like his. Biological father. Prince Xingping didn't dare to stay in the mansion, he was sent out of the mansion the year before last."

A few gleams of light popped out of Sheng Xiuyi's eyes, and he asked, "Where are you sending it?"

Yin Yanzhi's wine bottle was placed heavily on the table, and he said in a dull tone, "I can't say anything."

The brightness in Sheng Xiuyi's eyes slowly disappeared.

The two sat for a while without speaking.

Yin Yanzhi recalled that Sheng Xiuyi had been taking care of him all these years, no matter whether he asked him for work or financial relief, Sheng Xiuyi would never refuse, nor would he be stingy, much more generous than the rich and powerful King Xingping.

What's more, what the singer said was also mentioned by Yin Yanzhi when he was outspoken after drinking.

At that time, he remembered what he had said, but when he fully sobered up from the wine, he regretted it, for fear that Sheng Xiuyi would make a fuss and trip up King Xingping.

If King Xingping knew that he had leaked the news, he might not allow him to live.

But Sheng Xiuyi didn't mention anything.

Yin Yanzhi had been worried for several months, but seeing that Sheng Xiuyi really didn't want to talk about this matter, he put it away.Who knows, after several years, he brought up the matter again.

"Tianhe, you are a member of the royal family, the son of the Marquis of Shengchang, and I am a commoner. When you meet me, you don't use power to overwhelm others; when I talk to you, you don't feel ashamed of yourself. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." Yin Yanzhi Breaking the silence, he said, "You are not that tricky businessman. You have to hide it when you ask this question. I live in Xingping Palace, so I can't sell the owner to repay my personal favor. I can only say one sentence to you... "

Sheng Xiuyi felt relieved when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Yan, please tell me."

"Xingping Prince's Mansion will send food and clothing to their mother and son every month, and the powerful stewards in the mansion will personally send them." Yin Yanzhi's voice was low and low.

It doesn't say which day of the month it is, nor which steward sends it, nor which door it sends it out from.

But knowing that food and clothing are given away every month is already a great breakthrough.If Yin Yanzhi was really willing to tell the whole story, Sheng Xiuyi would look down on him.

He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Yin Yanzhi: "My brother, thank you for speaking frankly!"

Yin Yanzhi felt that what he said was meaningless, and Sheng Xiuyi was like this, so he also stood up and helped him: "No need to do this, no need to do this!"

The two sat down again, Sheng Xiuyi did not treat each other as nobles, but only as close friends.How old is Yin Yanzhi's elder? He holds the pot and pours wine with his own hands, showing his brotherhood.

"Brother Yan Zhi, don't worry, although I am determined to find the mother and son, I will not steal the credit of the Xingping Palace!" Sheng Xiuyi saw that Yin Yanzhi was still a little bored, so he said, "Red mouth and white teeth promise, if you do it face to face Behind the scenes, let me be struck by lightning!"

Yin Yanzhi hurriedly said: "Don't swear, it's unlucky! Tianhe has always kept his promises, brother, how can I not believe it? Drink, drink!"

As he spoke, he poured wine for Sheng Xiuyi himself.

He listened to Sheng Xiuyi's poisonous oath in his heart, and suppressed those apprehensions.If Sheng Xiuyi was really that kind of frivolous person, he would have said it a few years ago.

After eating a meal, the curfew in the city was about to come, so they went back separately.

When Sheng Xiuyi returned to the mansion, he didn't fall asleep immediately. He called his servants Lai'an and Laifu to come to him, and brought a stack of bank notes to Lai'an: "These 3000 taels of silver have been exchanged for cash, and I'll give them to you." Chen Datou from Chenfengtang. Just say that I have something to ask him to find ten smart and safe people for me overnight, and I will use them tomorrow."

Chenfengtang is a well-known bully force in the capital.

They are local local snakes, and they have been entrenched for a long time. Even the families of Gongqing, Wangsun, and high-ranking families are afraid of them and refuse to make enemies with them.

Sheng Xiuyi has a long reputation for mediocrity.He doesn't like the fireworks, flowers, wind, and flair that the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful families love, so he doesn't make friends with them; and they don't like Sheng Xiuyi's mediocrity and weakness, and disdain to associate with him.

However, Sheng Xiuyi knows exactly where there is a black market in the capital and what kind of black forces are there.

He is generous, acts safely, and comes from a family of powerful officials. Whether it is greedy for his money, clinging to his status, or admiring his superior martial arts, those who are of the highest rank are all acquainted with him.

Marquis Shengchang didn't know about these things.

Every time Sheng Xiuyi went out, Lai'an or Laifu followed him.

Lai An took the bank note and immediately stuffed it in his lapel, saying yes.

The two were about to go out when Sheng Xiuyi called him again: "...It would be the best if you are a person without a family!"

This is to say that it may be silenced after the event is completed.

Lai Fu said yes.

Sheng Xiuyi rested in the outer courtyard, full of this matter, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep in the middle of the night.

The next day is the third day of March, the day when Sheng Xiuyi's third son washes three courts.He got up early, and the servant girls in the outer courtyard dressed and washed him, and brought him breakfast.

Lai'an and Laifu came in to report what Sheng Xiuyi ordered last night: "...Master Chen took the money, and there is not a single piece left. Let us come back and tell the son of the world, please rest assured, before the sun sets today, people will definitely help you. The son of the world is looking for good."

Sheng Xiuyi nodded in satisfaction.

There is such a rule in Chenfeng Hall: If someone comes to entrust something, and the hall master finds the task too troublesome and difficult to do, he will drop one piece or a few pieces of money from the other party.If you leave one tael, you need to send another 100 taels to get the job done; if you leave two taels, it means to send another 200 taels.

This is not just asking for more money, but also a hint: things are difficult to do, and whether it can be done or not depends on the opportunity.If you are willing to continue entrusting, bring the money; if you are unwilling, return the money, and do not come to the door in the future.Even if he took the money, Chenfengtang did not promise that he would be able to finish the matter.

They will not give the trustee full of promises.

Because no matter what happens, there will be accidents,

If you accept all the money in one go, it is not only a great respect for the client, but also a promise that the matter will definitely come true.

There are not many people in the capital who can enjoy this kind of treatment, Sheng Xiuyi counts as one.

He nodded slightly, said he understood, and asked again: "Has Lord Hou come to court?"

Today is the child washing three courts, Dong Yuan asked him to ask for the child's name to enter.If he didn't get a name, Sheng Xiuyi didn't know how to tell Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan is very shrewd and not easy to fool.

"Not yet." Lai Fu said.

"Go to the gate and wait, Lord Hou has come to report to me." Sheng Xiuyi said.

After a while, Sheng Changhou returned to the mansion.

When he saw Sheng Xiuyi waiting at the door of the study, he became angry, snorted coldly, and led a few other guests into the dark study.

Several Qing guests bowed their hands to Sheng Xiuyi and respectfully called Shi Ziye.

The Shizi also saluted them, and followed his father into the dark study.

"What are you doing?" Sheng Changhou sat on the grand teacher's chair with a stern expression and angry words.

There was nothing unusual about Sheng Xiuyi, he said in a cold and low voice, "Father, today is the child's three-year pilgrimage, please give me a name!"

Sheng Changhou was furious in his heart, but it was not easy to say anything in front of his staff, so he paused and said, "Since we want to name it, let's call it 'Sincerity'. Sincerity is the way of heaven, and sincerity is the way of man. Li Yan Self-cultivation, first keep integrity."

This is to scold Dong Yuan for being dishonest.

Sheng Xiuyi listened, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Dad, for giving me the name."

He didn't seem to understand.

Sheng Changhou was furious again.

Several Qing guests got up and congratulated Sheng Xiuyi on getting the name of the third young master.

Sheng Xiuyi smiled, saluted Sheng Changhou, and withdrew.

He went back to the inner room. The maids and women in the room were preparing the children to wash things for the three dynasties. There are thirteen statues of gods, including the Empress of Sending Children, Empress of Douzhu, and Empress of Eyes. Cloth tips, green tea leaves, new combs, rouge powder, pig pancreas soap balls, incense candles, raw and boiled eggs, sticks and other things were piled all over the kang.

When the maids saw him coming in, they hurriedly bowed their knees to salute him.

Sheng Xiuyi asked them to stand up, and heard women's voices and laughter in the inner room.

He stepped in and saw the statues of "Kang Gong and Kang Mother" on the top of the kang in the inner room, and several bowls of sweet-scented osmanthus or oil cakes were placed as offerings.

Dong Yuan half leaned on the Ba Bu bed, Mrs. Sheng, Second Mistress Ge Shi, Cousin Qin Yi were all in front of her, as well as the wet nurse, Luo Mama, Kang Mama, Ge Mama next to the second mistress Ge Shi, and their big maids. , standing full of people.

Seeing Sheng Xiuyi coming in, everyone saluted him.

Sheng Xiuyi excused everyone and bowed to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng is holding the baby.

The child woke up, his round eyes wide open.The skin is a little fairer than when I was born, and it is more interesting to watch.

The first thing Mrs. Sheng asked him was: "Did your father name the child?"

Sheng Xiuyi said: "Take it! My father said it was called Sheng Lecheng. A gentleman cultivates his heart, and nothing is good at sincerity. Honesty is the foundation of a gentleman's self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, meritorious service, and virtue."

Mrs. Sheng heard him read so much and couldn't remember it. She just thought that the word Cheng was very good, so she laughed and teased the child: "Brother Cheng, our brother Cheng has a name!"

Dong Yuan listened and smiled slightly.

The servant girl outside came in and said: "Madam, grandma, the old lady of Zhenxianhou's Mansion and all the ladies, grandmas, ladies are here..."

Mrs. Sheng hurriedly gave the baby to the wet nurse, and said, "Look at me, look at me! You actually hugged your grandson so much that you forgot the time."

As he spoke, he brought Kang's mother and others to welcome him out.
