Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 147 There Is No Free Lunch in the World 2
He didn't insist on refusing, but instead took out three hundred guan and gave it to the Shen family, thinking that I bought it, and no one can gossip.

The Shen family naturally wouldn't be willing, but Shen Mo took the money with a smile, didn't say anything else, and ignored the questioning from the senior members of the Shen family.Just kidding, I'm already Jinshi, and I have such a strong relationship with Wang Xiu and Cai Yi, and my status is obviously different, so I don't care about some people's accusations.

Besides, it's enough to have this kind of heart for Wang Xiu. When he just entered the official career and was about to show off, he definitely didn't want to spread gossip.Three hundred guan to buy a three-entry house in No. [-] Tianshui Lane, which is barely enough, but isn't the furniture for Yiying money?Some people just can't see the strangeness, Wang Xiu has long accepted the wishes of the Shen family, and she understands what's the point of doing it too well.

The house in No. [-] Tianshui Lane was full of people who came to congratulate her. Wang Xiu welcomed and sent her away for a few days, which was really annoying.Today, a distinguished guest has arrived.

"Wen Shi's house is really exquisite." Cai Gengdao sipped his tea leisurely and looked at Wang Xiu with a smile.

In the simple and elegant living room, Wang Xiu smiled lightly, and said, "My friend refused, so I bought it for more than 300 yuan. It is counted as setting up a family business in Kaifeng, and my family will have a place to stay in the future."

When Cai Gengdao came to visit alone, it was definitely a weasel giving the rooster a New Year greeting. As for the origin of this house, he simply told the truth, so as not to arouse people's unreasonable guesses.

"Great handwriting that is rare among the new division Jinshi." Cai Gengdao laughed, looked around again, and said, "I haven't come to congratulate you since Wenshi was appointed as an official. Today is late, so don't be offended!"

Wang Xiu had a toothache for a while, and what he said was really not nutritious at all. If you have something to do, you should get to the point quickly and stop talking. He gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "My lord is joking. It is an honor for my lord to come to my humble house. See what the other said."

Seeing Wang Xiu's strange smile, Cai Gengdao thought about it and improved the topic, and said: "These days the court is full of troubles, and the brother in the family has not finished making trouble. This is not an official family and wants to recruit a son-in-law."

"The official family recruits a son-in-law? Oh, it's a good thing. I don't know which Ruyi Langjun will have a good fortune." Wang Xiu didn't care, let alone care, which idiot Princess Shang meddles in his business.

Seeing Wang Xiu's indifferent face, Cai Gengdao was a little unsure. Could it be that his uncle's worry was wrong?Wang Xiu didn't intend to become the royal son-in-law at all?He said cautiously: "I heard that Emperor Maode Ji is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is really talented."

He didn't continue, but the meaning was already obvious. Wang Xiu was startled, and then remembered that beautiful girl who was forced to do nothing in Yanfu Palace that day. Forget about being in debt!

That wicked smile made him shiver, he shook his head in a daze and said, "It's so beautiful that it makes people run away."

Things in the palace are generally hidden from Cai Jing, since Cai Gengdao knew that he was able to come, he saw that Wang Xiu's face was obviously not fake, but he had confidence in his heart, and he probably wouldn't be interested in Empress Maode.

As a famous scholar, Cai Gengming understands the thoughts of talented and ambitious scholars very well.He believes in a truly talented person, no one is so boring as to be the son-in-law of the royal family, and no one ruins his career for the sake of a beautiful princess, unless that person has a brain, and as a last resort, they would rather marry the princess or the princess , and don't want to be the emperor's east bed, Wang Xiu is obviously an aspiring scholar.

Thinking about my cousin, he can be regarded as a good-looking talent who has read poetry and books, and he is far behind Wang Xiu. My uncle didn't pay much attention to him politically.

"Hehe, the truth is a bit too much."

"Not at all, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid it in time." Wang Xiu really didn't want to talk about Zhao Fujin, so he turned the conversation aside and said, "My lord, Ding You, has been three years?"

Cai Gengdao's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "It's full."

"Now that the Prime Minister's Office of State Affairs is starting to prepare, Cai Xueshi has the right to official business, why don't you find a good job nearby." Wang Xiu smiled.

Cai Gengdao was agitated for a while. How could he not understand the significance of the office to him? This is a yamen favored by many important ministers. Just from the name of the official yamen, it is very imposing. The golden avenue leading to the Metropolitan Hall was paved in front of him!

Wang Xiu glanced at Cai Gengdao thoughtfully. He had his own plans. Cai Gengdao was a rare figure in the Cai family who was well-rounded and well-versed. He had a very good relationship between up and down, left, right, and right. Even the extremely cruel Cai You was very gentle with him. If Cai Gengdao can be brought over, at least a buffer zone with Cai You can be established.

"Drafted regulations, there is no one to serve as a deputy, my lord, don't miss this opportunity!" He said lightly, setting up a trap.

Cai Gengdao was cursing inwardly, he slandered Cai You for being stingy, if he didn't even tell him about such a good career, he would be fucked.

But he really wronged Cai You. Some of the public offices are not formal yet. Cai Xueshi is spending time with Zhao Guan’s family. Find an opportunity to recommend to Zhao Guan's family.

"Great opportunity!" Wang Xiu glanced at Cai Geng quietly and said.

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. It is best not to disturb the old master."

Cai Gengdao's face was serious. He understood what Wang Xiu meant, and he knew the troubles of the Cai family and his son. If he really asked Cai Jing to help him with the matter, then his relationship with Cai You would be in jeopardy. Can there be a good day here?Wang Xiu's guidance is very good. Since he is looking for a job under Cai You, the matter has to be placed on Cai You.

He immediately burst into smiles, and said in a gentle voice: "If it can be done, I will persuade the adults to invite Maode Diji for you."

Wang Xiu's eyes widened, her face was extremely stiff, she hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm a vulgar person in Xiaxiao County, and I've already had a family, sir, don't make fun of me."

Cai Geng saw Wang Xiu's complexion changed drastically, and his tone was firm. He was even more sure that he would not make things difficult for Cai Jing. He was looking for a good future for himself, but he did not forget to do Cai Jing's orders well. If Wang Xiu found out, he would definitely kick him out.

He was completely relieved, and his tone was more easy-going, and said: "It's just a joke, don't take it to heart."

Wang Xiu was a little puzzled, Cai Gengdao is a prudent person, why did he mention Emperor Maode to him again and again, she is this future cousin and daughter-in-law!Could it be that a chance meeting between himself and Empress Maode caused history to deviate?
That's too nonsense. Until today, the general situation of the world has not been changed because of his intervention.

People say that people from Shandong are the most wicked people, but what they say, Wang Xiu and Cai Gengdao's mouths are also wicked enough.Before he could finish speaking, a servant from outside ushered in an eunuch dressed as a yellow door.

"My lord, the envoys from King Jia's palace have arrived."

"King Jia." Cai Gengdao looked solemn and casually glanced at Wang Xiu.
