The Legitimate Younger Sister Insists on Marriage Exchange, Sending Me to Become a Marquis Wife – Chapter 246

第246章 得来全不费工夫

顾十六斟酌答道:“说到是说了,只不知真假,他是个能熬的,前面不也扛了这么些天,没道理最后一次就扛不住了。这人本就要死,死前胡说八道也不是不可能,不过他说的到和程哥儿他们做的事合上了,兴许上房真有人和他暗中联络。”

屋子里暗影幢幢,压抑地令人窒息。

“很好,”顾靖晖半晌方道,“你说他们是否知晓?”

此处他们便是指的赵氏所生的那对龙凤胎了,顾十六支吾着不敢回答。

顾靖晖也没再为难他,转了话题,冷冷问:“姓刘的安排得如何了?”

顾十六道:“这会子只怕都已经成灰了。”

顾靖晖又道:“那小厮问清楚了吗?”

“问清楚了,只帮着放了那一次东西,再没做别的,这次姓刘的让他开府之后把信送出去,说会让家里人给他黄金十两,恰好就被戚小哥的老娘听见了。”

“嗯,他是谁家的孩子?”

“是张管家本家的子侄,父亲上过战场,瘸了腿就回来了,在庄子上养着,张管家就把人提拔入府里伺候,没想到就做出这样的事。”

顾靖晖想了想,道:“罚了之后,丢去庄子上吧,以后他家的人就别往军营和府里调拨了。”

顾十六应了,又问:“那张管家?”

顾靖晖道:“你让人多盯着些,究竟是无心之失被连累,还是别的。他毕竟是府里的老人了,家里几代都在老侯爷身边侍奉过,就是调走,也得名正言顺,有个理由。”

“小的只是不忿,若不是他管教不严,又怎么会有这回事。”

顾靖晖道:“你也说了,是管教不严,责罚起来也不过是罚月例加训斥一顿罢了,再多就有人要报不平了,都是老辈用下来的人,在老夫人那里,面子有时候比我还大呢。夫人正在审账本子,若是有什么拿来瞧瞧再说。”

这就是要等夫人盘出来账目,再一并发作了。

顾十六心领神会,道:“那属下去问问红叶。”

说是问问,实际上就是催催,或者再暗示一二。

顾靖晖“嗯”了一声,又问:“徐家那边……”

顾十六不安地动了动脚,道:“十八还在细查,徐家几个儿郎呆的赌场,是晋王的私产,重利债的事只怕都是知晓的。”

这就有点棘手了。

晋王若是要找侯府的麻烦,只从徐家下手就行,总能掰扯上。

顾靖晖厌恶地皱眉,好半天才道:“我知道了,这件事还没查完之前,不用给老六说,让他专心作诗画画罢。”

顾十六见他没什么要吩咐的,就退了出去寻顾十八。

黑夜里,两个大汉隔着角门处新开出来的小窗说话,哈着腰,还有点难受。

“徐家的事情怎么查的这么慢?”

顾十八满腹牢骚:“这能怪我么?府里就给我了这么些人,一会儿要查府门外来路不明的闲汉,一会儿要去查徐家的事,徐珍和赵氏我还没找着呢,我都不知道该怎么给侯爷交差。”

顾十六安抚道:“这也是没办法,谁让如今封着府呢,可不就累着你了,侯爷若是训斥你,你也有个理可说,只是你得想法子快些查查徐家的事,毕竟一开府,他们就要来闹,避无可避,侯爷都有些头疼,六爷又管不了什么事。”

“那徐珍呢?”

顾十八不解,徐家来闹,不就为的是徐珍,若是能找到徐珍,也就不用闹了。

“徐珍这事越到后面越没指望,京城这么大,要藏个人还不容易?若真是被人拐了去,说不得都不在京城了。不是叫你不查,你忙不过来,就先干点能见效的。”

顾十八闷闷应了一声,突然想起些什么,道:“十六哥,如今外面胡椒一天一个价,已经跌倒四十五两银子一斤了,沈长乐说这还不够,还要放点风出去,徐家似乎跟着六夫人入了胡椒,正在家里骂骂咧咧地跳脚呢。”

顾十六隔着小窗轻笑,道:“不急,夫人现在还没下令买呢。十七那边你帮我传个信过去,就说如今京城里胡椒价格急跌,让他再关注着外省的价格变化,有什么传个信回来,我也好去禀报夫人,让夫人知道我们入了份子,也跟着一起操心。”

顾十八佩服地点头。

顾十六想了想又道:“徐家屯买胡椒这事,你可以去分别找人盘问,上次他们徐家人来,我瞅着徐家内部不是一条心。”

“十六哥灵光,我跟着你混便是,若是侯爷怪罪下来,少不得你得帮我分解分解。”

“那是自然,”顾十六道:“你忙去吧,咱两个隔着小窗说话,也怪累的。你见了沈长乐也催催他那本诗集,赶紧印出来,开府之后,六爷少不得多出去走动,后面还有不少节日,有了诗集也好四处分发扬名啊。”

顾十六在府里憋得狠了,心里惦记着书海阁,总想给他们一个好看才好。

顾十八也知道这件事,当即就道:“十六哥放心,到时候咱们一起去书海阁让他们睁大狗眼好好瞧瞧。”

唠完了嗑,两人匆匆散了。

顾十六吹着小哨慢悠悠往回走,突然就有些尿急,见四下无人,便蹩到花架子底下小解。

尿了一半,就看见个鬼鬼祟祟的身影朝着墙根前摸了过来。

顾十六立即停了动静,屏住呼吸看那身影要作什么。

那人佝偻着身子,在墙根底下摸索了一阵,就停了手,往里咕蛹了几下,又用脚轻轻踢了踢,就又悄悄地沿着墙根溜走了。

顾十六也顾不上裤子湿了半边,小声学着虫叫,把消息传了出去,自个则悄悄咪咪地跟在那人身后,一路跟到了上房附近。

“真是得来全不费工夫,”顾十六心中暗叹。

那人已经走到了光影之下,笑着对守门的婆子道:“方才拉肚子,蹲的长了些。”

守门的婆子道:“无妨,你替我站会儿,我去喝口水,再提个灯笼来。”

顾十六将那婆子的长相记下,便悄悄拐了回去,守在墙根处。

被他唤来的侍卫已将东西掏了出来,是个油纸包的小卷儿,打开来,是一张全是暗语的纸条,不知何意。

顾十六就又将东西塞了回去,让人在周围看着,看究竟是谁来取。

Although she is puzzled about why her younger sister behaves this way, one must seize a windfall when it falls from the sky!!! In her previous life, her younger sister envied her: “Qin Yuan could only pick what I discarded since childhood.

Besides the difficult mother-in-law, there’s also a childhood friend cousin watching closely!” Qin Yuan laughs: “This forced title of Duchess handed to me is quite enjoyable. Tsk tsk… I can do business, excel in medicine, and possess strategies both in mind and stomach. In my previous life, this Prime Minister's wife was all planned by me, naïve little sister.” In her past life, her husband was firmly locked with her younger sister, so in this life, she won’t have to exert effort climbing up with him; isn’t it better to achieve success on her own? — The Duke of Dingbei, who married late to defend the border, becomes a god of war in uniform, and when he shaves his beard, he turns into a handsome young man, with countless women yearning for him. On their wedding night, he left his young wife, thinking he could just coax her. Later… he discovers that she doesn’t care at all and has been playing him. Daily life in the Duke’s residence: The Duke of Dingbei kneels at the door: “I know my wife has me in her heart, please give me another chance.” After a long pause, Qin Yuan replies: “Depends on my mood.” Others: Tsk tsk, the Duke is indeed the lady’s devoted dog, a professional.
