Due to the weight of pregnancy, Qi Qingxi couldn't go out now, so she asked the servants in the mansion to go to a restaurant for her to find Fan Qingshan.

Princess Danyang gave her such a big "surprise" this time, and she had to reciprocate the courteousness and reciprocate well so as not to live up to his "good intentions".

Fan Qingshan soon came to the Gu residence.

He greeted Qi Qingxi first, and before Qi Qingxi could speak first, he couldn't wait to mention what he had seen and heard recently.

"Madam didn't send someone to look for me. I originally wanted to come to the house. In our shop on Zhengyangmen Street, a guy told me something a few days ago. I think it is very necessary to tell you."

Qi Qingxi thought that if he remembered correctly, Fan Qingshan should have never worked in the shop on Zhengyangmen Street.

Hearing what he said, it seemed that he was quite familiar with the guy over there.

Qi Qingxi smiled, this kid's communication skills are really incomparable.

However, ordinary gossip and gossip Fan Qingshan would not specifically come to tell her, presumably he heard something great from the buddy.

She was a little curious about what Fan Qingshan wanted to say to her: "What is it, tell me."

Fan Qingshan looked around and saw that there was no one else in the courtyard except for the two maidservants who were with his wife, so he continued to talk in peace.

He lowered his voice and said, "It's about that Prince Pingnanhou."

Qi Qingxi was surprised when he heard the words: "Pingnan Hou Shizi, you mean the son-in-law of the eldest princess?"

She remembered that she had met this big son-in-law before in the palace, and she was deeply impressed by the way he looked at her lewdly. This big son-in-law was a womanizer at first sight.

What Fan Qingshan wants to say may also have something to do with his lustful temperament.

"The buddy said that recently there was a person who often came to eat in the restaurant, and he was always served by that buddy every time, and the two of them became acquainted with each other." Fan Qingshan said.

"You know that the food in our store is expensive or not, but it's cheap, and it's not something that ordinary people can afford. After getting acquainted with him, the guy asked me a lot. Guess what the guy said? "Fan Qingshan said outrageously.

Qi Qingxi raised his eyebrows, could it be that Prince Pingnan is not only fond of women, but also likes men, and this man is his concubine raised outside?

She tentatively asked: "Given by Prince Pingnanhou?"

"Exactly." Fan Qingshan gave Qi Qingxi a thumbs up, "It turns out that the younger sister in this family is quite pretty, somehow she was taken by Prince Pingnan Hou and raised in a house at Meishikou."

It can be said that one person attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. The girl became the outer room of Pingnan Hou Shizi, raising delicious food and drinks, and even bringing the brothers in the girl's family to live a good life.

Of course, these are not important matters. The important thing is that the two brothers and sisters are not strict-mouthed people.

It was said that once Pingnanhou's son drank and got drunk, he said that he would not disappoint his father's expectations, and vowed to turn the capital upside down to help his father achieve his great cause.

This happened to be heard by the girl, and the girl was frightened stupid by these words, and immediately ran to tell her brother crying.

This elder brother was also kind-hearted, and comforted his younger sister by saying that it was nonsense that the prince was talking about in his drunken dreams, and it could not be taken seriously.

The younger sister was really stabilized by these words of comfort, and immediately went back to serve the son with a smile.

And the elder brother turned around and took this as a joke and told the waiter in the restaurant.

The staff of the restaurant have long been favored by Fan Qingshan, helping him to keep an eye on the gossip and gossip of the guests in the restaurant.

"I also thought of asking him to do this job because I saw that the kid is clever and capable of doing things. Of course, it's not for nothing. I will give him another sum of money every month as a reward." Fan Qingshan said.

Qi Qingxi looked at Fan Qingshan and smiled with satisfaction. She knew that Fan Qingshan had abilities, but Fan Qingshan in the book also learned those abilities after taking many detours.

It's just that now, with the guidance of a capable master like Wang Lang, he doesn't have to take such detours, and his work is getting better.

On Zhengyangmen Street, there was this fellow who helped inquire about the news, and he was in charge of Xisi Pailou.

Qi Qingxi asked jokingly: "Could it be that there are people here to help you with things at Dongsi Pailou?"

Fan Qingshan scratched his head embarrassedly: "Yes."

Qi Qingxi nodded, and praised: "Thanks to your help in inquiring about these many things."

After praising Fan Qingshan, she didn't forget that Fan Qingshan mentioned that he would pay others every month, and Fan Qingshan should not give this money.

"You have worked hard. From now on, you will go to the accountant of the mansion to withdraw ten taels of silver separately every month, and it will be counted as the remuneration I pay you and the other two assistants."

Fan Qingshan quickly waved his hand and said: "I am blessed by your kindness, so I am fortunate enough to come to the capital to work in the shop, and to work with the master. The things the master taught me are enough for me to use for a lifetime. You let me do these things to exercise me opportunity, and I'm still receiving a lot of wages from the shop, so I don't even have the nerve to ask for payment."

"That's right." Fan Qingshan took out a money bag from his sleeve pocket and put it on the table next to Qi Qingxi, "This is the money you used to treat those scholars to drink tea and wine for me last time, it's extra here Yes, I'm here to return the extra silver along the way."

Qi Qingxi glanced at the money bag, opened it, and found that there were seven or eighty taels of silver in it.

She remembered what happened last time, in addition to King Jin's contribution, the group of scholars gathered together to put pressure on the court also contributed a lot.

At that time, she was still thinking that Fan Qingshan must have spent a lot of energy and money in such a big battle among these scholars.

Qi Qingxi pointed to the money bag and said in surprise: "Why is there so much money in it? You didn't invite those scholars to drink tea and wine?"

"Please." Fan Qingshan said with a smile, "I wanted to invite those few people to drink tea and wine, but I heard that they are too poor to pay the rent of the house, so I thought about selling it Okay, let’s help them pay the rent. Who would have thought that those scholars are very noble, saying that the poor don’t deserve to be fed, and they think I want to insult them with money, so they are not willing to talk to me.”

Qi Qingxi couldn't help but think of Liu Jin, who also went to Beijing to take the exam and relied on Gao's work and selling paintings to make a living, not to mention that the few candidates who failed the exam would have to wait another four years in the capital, and their life was even more stretched, and they couldn't afford the rent. Nothing could be more normal.

She had had brief contact with those scholars before, and knew that they were quite arrogant, so it was normal for her not to accept Fan Qingshan's help.

If they were all scoundrels like the clerk who lied to her classmates back then, she would not think of letting Fan Qingshan find them to do things.

However, she remembered that the scholar was willing to come forward to put pressure on the imperial court, and it was indeed Fan Qingshan who contributed to it.

She couldn't help but wonder how these scholars didn't like Fan Qingshan so much, and how he managed to do things later.

"Then what happened later? How did you get it done later?"
