11.25 The Ministry of Rites Zhishi, Xue Jiadeli

A few days later, time entered the September of the 17th year of Yongzheng. The official secretary Shen's house, Shen Yan, Jiang Xing and Yang Nan were sitting opposite each other in the garden pavilion. The six hot dishes on the stone table were long gone, but they had not been touched signs.

"Li Shouyi flinched." Yang Nan let out a long sigh, "Although the paper on him was 'retirement due to illness', he didn't inform us beforehand. I guess he couldn't bear it anymore. Brother Mingyuan, do you have any news?"

"At the end of last month, Jia Lan, the posthumous son of Jia Zhu, the second eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, was called Li Shouyi as the second grandpa according to his seniority. He was formally enlisted by the Jiangnan army and went to Jinling to take up the post of General Banner with the title of one hundred households.

Although his surname was Jia, he was also the only blood of the Li family. Presumably there was some arrangement that Li Shouyi couldn't refuse, so he flinched. "Shen Yan said with a wry smile, "Unfortunately, our people can't keep up more and more. "

"What a "one shot, no piece of armor left" Mr. Wei Er, we just found an excuse to test Xue Zihao, but we were beaten back severely, and the loss was so heavy." Yang Nan also smiled wryly.

"Not enough!" Jiang Xing shook his head, "I know Shouyi has always taken good care of this niece, but it's not enough to make such a decision for her son. Is there any other news?"

"I didn't find out." Shen Yan shook his head helplessly, "You also know what the Second Young Master is doing in private, if he is determined not to let us see, then it will be very difficult for us to break through.

However, Shouyi is not a betrayal, and his body is indeed unable to bear it. The most important thing is that he also recommended the next Minister of Rites, Kong Zhen, and Kong Jihao in the booklet, which is considered to be the last thing for us. "

"Him?" Yang Nan frowned, "He is a member of Qilu Kong's family. Although he is not the contemporary Yan Shenggong, he is also the heir of the main house. The most important thing is that he has always been right and wrong. It doesn’t quite count with us.”

"But it's not the same as those moths." Shen Yan sighed, "He has also been raised by the Imperial Academy for many years, and he is also a descendant of a saint. It is not wrong to take the position of Minister of Rites, and it is difficult for us to object.

The most important thing is that he has always been very disgusted with the moths in the capital, and he is willing to stand up for almost all unreasonable things. The only problem is that he has no conflict with the Wei family. "

"Forget it, it's him, and others can't handle it." Shen Yan was very helpless, "It's just that there will be one less person to discuss in the future. Luo Zuochen (Shangshu Luo Xian of the Ministry of Punishment) has always been close to us, and even the Ministry of Rites is the same. .”

"The Luo family was originally favored by the Supreme Emperor. He can't be counted as ours." Yang Nan shook his head and said, "After all, the royal family's first consideration is their own interests."

"That's how it is." Shen Yan drank the fine wine in the glass that had been sitting for a long time, "In a few days, Brother Shouyi's official letter will be approved, and I will be a host to send it to him. When the time comes, you can arrange a good time and have a good time as a friend." , Let's get together and let go!"

"Good!" *2.

"It's just that I haven't figured out until now, what method Wei Ziyang used to make Brother Shouyi retreat so happily, is he not easy to persuade?" Jiang Xing said dissatisfied.

The three looked at each other, all speechless.

Time goes back a few days, Jia Mansion, Li Wan Courtyard.

"Sister Lin, the Lin family is also a scholarly family, why did you enter the martial arts as a woman?" After some family squabbling, when Lin Daiyu brought the topic to court disputes, Li Wan asked inexplicably.

"The four generations of lords of the Lin family only came to my father's place because they won the prize of Tanhua, so they are regarded as a scholarly family." Lin Daiyu smiled, "Sister-in-law, I am here this time mainly to bring a sentence."

"The second son of Pingyuan Marquis Wei?" Li Wan has never been someone who can't understand, "Wu Xun came out of his lineage as Marquis, I don't know if it's a blessing or a danger, but it's a pity that there is nothing we women can do.

It's just that I don't know, what is Wei Hou Ye going to do to use me, a widow?There is nothing in Jia's mansion that he can take a fancy to right now?Then again, even if he has ideas, I can't help him! "

"Sister-in-law, why should you be so on guard?" Lin Daiyu knew the original "Dream of Red Mansions" in her mind very well, "Our goal this time is Li Shangshu."

"If Sister Lin came here for this, I'm afraid she will be disappointed." Li Wan immediately became serious.

"It's not impossible for us to move him directly, but considering my sister-in-law, I stopped him." Lin Daiyu no longer hesitated, and went straight to the point, "I think my sister-in-law knows about the situation of the confrontation between civil and military.

So, my purpose this time is to talk to this Master Shangshu through the relationship of my sister-in-law. Of course, we will not let my sister-in-law run away for nothing, and we must also give benefits.

Brother Lang was selected as a scholar last year. I believe that my sister-in-law wanted him to leave the examination room and turn to civil servants step by step, but I want to say that this step will not work. how? "

"So, what does Sister Lin mean?" Li Wan hesitated. Since she wanted Jia Lan to go to the examination room, she would naturally understand the situation first. At least she was very clear about Lin Ruhai's experience.However, she didn't take it seriously before, because although Jia Lan's surname was Jia, the Li family was a scholarly family in the era. With such maternal resources, she believed that Jia Lan's road to the imperial examination would be much smoother, at least this was true in the original work. .

But now that Lin Daiyu has opened her mouth, that's another matter. Although the conflict between civil and military is serious now, it's really not a big deal for Wu Xun to plot against a young scholar.

"Brother Xu has already promised that if Brother Lang is willing to enter the barracks, he can now be given the position of the general banner and the title of a hundred households. Within three years, he will be guaranteed a real job in a hundred households. Sister-in-law, this is a real job at the sixth rank.

If Lan Ge'er becomes a civil servant, he will have a smooth journey, and he will have to wait about five years to become a Jinshi before he can be awarded an official. The left and right are just seventh-rank sesame mung beans, and he doesn't know how long it will take to really get up.

Brother Xu also gave such a condition because of the face of Lang Geer's birth in the Rongguo Mansion. If it is an ordinary civil servant, we have plenty of other means. "Lin Daiyu said softly.

"Marquis Wei is only 23 years old now, but he is already Marquis Wu of the Kingdom, with 1 elite soldiers from the Jiangnan Army. Within ten years, this No. [-] position in martial arts cannot go to other houses. This is the world Everyone knows.

Forget it, since Marquis Wei spoke up and Sister Lin came to the door in person, I agreed to this matter, but to the second uncle, I can only help spread the word, he is not easy to persuade. "Li Wan thought for a while and chose to agree.

"We don't need Li Shangshu, Brother Xu admires his character very much." Seeing that the first step has been achieved, Lin Daiyu couldn't help smiling, "Just call him sick and become an official.

However, my younger sister heard that there are two sisters in Li Shangshu's house?If you don't mind, Brother Xu is willing to help you find a matchmaker. Sister Bao, Sister Qin, and sister-in-law at home have also met, so she must know his background. "

"The Xue family?" Li Wan immediately frowned, "It's just a merchant's family, with my second uncle's temper, I'm afraid there is nothing to talk about."

"What if the two families are willing to promise that the next child will take the mother's surname?" Lin Daiyu smiled slightly, watching Li Wan's face change suddenly.

"Sister Lin can be the master?" Li Wan's expression was unprecedentedly serious. After all, she came from the Li family, and the family inheritance is extremely important even for a married daughter.

"At the beginning, when elder brother Xu asked my father to marry him, he promised that the eldest son's surname was Lin." Lin Daiyu blushed pretty, but still said it out.

"I'll go to my ancestors and tell my ancestors, and then my second uncle will send someone to pick them up. It's just that it will take a long time to finish these things. I hope my sister will forgive me." Li Wan said without hesitation.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lin Daiyu said with a smile, and handed over the cheat books of "Hunyuan Gong", "Broken Jade Fist", and "Overlord's Halberd", and crushed a white porcelain cup holder by the way, "And A little gift, sister-in-law, don't dislike it."

"This—" Li Wan's expression changed on the spot, and with a complicated expression, he picked up the three cheat books and flipped through them, then nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank Sister Lin, and I will try my best with Second Uncle."

The camera returns to the current time, Pingyuanhou Mansion, the living room in the inner courtyard.

"How about it, the sister-in-law I arranged for you two didn't humiliate the Xue family?" Looking at the Xue family sisters leaning on Wei Xu's arms from left to right, Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

"Arranged by my sister?" Xue Baochai looked at Wei Xu in a daze. These days, she brought Xue Baoqin here almost when she was free. When she heard that Xue Pan and Xue Bian were able to marry the second wife of the Li family, she almost jumped up for joy. .

"I just said that the two girls of the Li family can also arrange it, but I didn't say how to arrange it." Wei Xu smiled, pointed to Lin Daiyu and said, "I didn't expect that Yu'er would take advantage of the two of your family."

"Thank you for your trouble, my sister. The Xue family will not forget the kindness of this matter!" Xue Baochai immediately pulled Xue Baoqin up, and bowed solemnly in front of Lin Daiyu.

The hierarchical system in feudal society was very strict, and "Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce" was the iron law of society. With Li Shouyi's status, it was impossible to look up to the Xue family no matter what. Lin Daiyu could be said to have directly helped the Xue family improve their social status.

Don't forget, the Li family has gone extinct, even if there are two adopted children, they are still children of the Xue family. In the future, the Xue family and the Li family can be regarded as one family. This kind of kindness is great.

"My sister is serious." Lin Daiyu smiled slightly, and calmly accepted the courtesy of the two, "As long as you don't think that my younger sister makes her own decisions."

"The civil servants can only bear it this time." Wei Xu smiled, "Also, arrange to go to the Li family in Jinling to propose marriage as soon as possible. In the future, your two elder brothers may have to work harder to hug the fat boy as soon as possible. Just do it."

The Xue family sisters blushed pretty, and returned Wei Xu with a basket of autumn spinach, and then threw themselves into his arms together without saying a word.
