Di Daughter's Interpretation

Chapter 46

The master made a lot of money from Cai Xinhua's donation to the official, and he knew the taste, so he planned something else.You can't get acquainted with Xiao Huizi in vain, you have to put it to good use and earn some money. "Young master is weak in the capital, so you should find a backer in the palace." With a backer, you don't have to be so tied up in life and work, and you can be more reckless.

Cai Xinhua strongly agreed, "Sir, what you said is very reasonable! I don't bother the two masters with one thing, so I'll work on you." With the banknotes in both hands, he asked the master to open the way and find a backer.In Xijing, he can be regarded as a famous person, and he has always been reckless and reckless in the city. After arriving in the capital, he dared not dare to be cautious.Even neighbors and Lizheng dare not offend.If he really found a backer, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in the capital?Thinking of this, Cai Xinhua felt that it was no pity to spend some money.

The master was familiar with the way and found Xiao Huizi, and invited him to the banquet, which was very neat and delicate.Xiao Huizi was just a little eunuch, running errands, and seeing his master being so flattering, he was very proud, patted his chest and promised, "It's all on me!"

It's all about the price anyway.What is the price of recognizing a godfather, what is the price of recognizing a godfather, it is clear.Xiao Huizi patted the master on the shoulder, smiled and said, "I will give you a favor as soon as my brother and I hit it off. This amount cannot be less." Stretched out two fingers.

"2000 taels?" The master was slightly drunk, guessing with squinting eyes.Xiao Huizi spat at him, "Bah!" It's not easy to open your eyes, how dare you bring 2000 taels in front of your father-in-law?My father-in-law won't even take a look! "2 taels! No less." Xiao Huizi held his head high and said with a look of disdain.

Master is sober. 2 taels! 2 taels is not a small amount, he didn't dare to accept it, he just said repeatedly, "Go and ask at my house, go and ask at my house." Xiao Huizi smiled and said, "That's natural. To tell you the truth, it's a big deal. A lot of money wants to recognize the people under my father-in-law's knees, but there are too many people! If we didn't recognize each other and hit it off again, this good thing would not have happened to your Mr. Cai." The master is very grateful, The two had a big drink, and Fang broke up.

This master is naughty. When he went back to see Cai Xinhua, he only said, "It is extremely difficult to worship at the knees of the father-in-law. It will take a lot of work, but I don't know if it can be done. Even if it can be done, I am afraid it will cost 3 taels of silver." Dot up and down."

Cai Xinhua was stunned for a moment, 3 taels?Also too expensive. "Sir, watch carefully, maybe you can pay back the price again? We are just using the father-in-law's name to make people fool us, so we don't want to be bullied. It's not worth so much."

The master smiled and said, "If you can really worship your father-in-law, you will not only be bullied by others. Who is your father-in-law's godson and grandson who is not in a high position and has real power? The son will be an official sooner or later. If you have your father-in-law behind you in the officialdom, You can’t always suffer.” You, who are so focused on being an official, still want to save money, is this the time to save money?Worshiping to be a grandson at the knees of the father-in-law, the official fortune will be prosperous in the future!No matter how many people ask for it, they will not be able to ask for it.

Cai Xinhua gritted his teeth cruelly, "That's it. It's just that I don't have much banknotes left, so I beg my husband to intercede again, so that there will be less." The master agreed with a smile.Sure enough, he went out to mediate the matter the next day, ran back and forth a few times, and agreed: 3000 taels of silver, to be considered as the godfather.

Cai Xinhua was very relieved to save 7000 taels. When he kowtowed to Eunuch Cheng Decheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, to recognize his grandfather, he kowtowed loudly and reverently.Cheng De smiled and said, "He is a good boy with a sincere heart." Cai Xinhua was overjoyed by the praise, and he knocked heavily on his head a few times, and respectfully said, "Thank you, Grandpa Gan."

Xiao Huizi got a lot of benefits, at this moment he smiled and joked, "Being the grandson of your old man, this status is different. Now he only donated a sixth-rank acquaintance, not even a real shortage. "Donating a false title is just a superficial look, it's better to be an official.

Cheng De half leaned on the Arhat bed, closed his eyes and asked slowly, "Do you want to be a Beijing official, or do you want to let it out?" Xiao Huizi winked at Cai Xinhua, Cai Xinhua understood, and said respectfully, "Go back to Gan!" As far as grandpa is concerned, grandson is still young, and he may not be able to handle the troublesome and difficult tasks outside. But it is easier to be a Beijing official, and he can always respect grandpa."

Cheng De closed his eyes for a while, while Xiao Huizi and Cai Xinhua held their breath and dared not speak out.After a while, Cheng De opened his eyes and looked at Cai Xinhua, "He looks pretty good." He ordered Xiao Huizi, "Take him to Honglu Temple to find Xiao Du, and say, it's my grandson, let him take care of it." .”

Xiao Huizi resoundingly agreed, "Yes!" He secretly tugged Cai Xinhua, Cai Xinhua hurriedly knelt down, and knocked his head three times, "Thank you, Grandpa Gan for cultivation!" Don't embarrass me." Seeing Cai Xinhua's reluctance to leave, Cheng De thought it a little funny, he is also a fool, he really wants to be a grandson.

Cai Xinhua followed Xiao Huizi to Honglu Temple, as if in a fog.On the way, Xiao Huizi told him, "Du Zhisheng, Minister of Honghe Temple, was originally the magistrate of Runan. He followed his father-in-law's path before he came to Beijing and became an official in Beijing." It is customary for Beijing officials to be half a rank higher than foreign officials.

"My father-in-law has always been willing to raise his own people, the only thing is that he is not allowed to take advantage of his old man's power to bully men and women! If there is anything that favors one's own interests and bends the law, the father-in-law will not obey." Xiao Huizi solemnly confessed.There are [-] eunuchs in the palace, and Cheng De is not the only one who is powerful and powerful. Whether it is the nephews or nephews of other great eunuchs, whether they are godsons or grandsons, there are all kinds of nonsense, but Cheng De doesn't allow it.After receiving the money, they recognized their godsons as grandsons, and it was all right not to allow others to bully them, but they still wanted to bully others?

Cai Xinhua only knows what to do.After seeing Du Zhisheng, Minister of Honglu Temple, Du Zhisheng laughed and said, "Since he is the grandson of my father-in-law, he is a good one, and I will rely on him in the future." Cai Xinhua was flattered, "Where, where. How dare, how dare." Cai Xinhua was overjoyed.

Three days later, Cai Xinhua became the prime minister of Honglu Temple.Honglu Temple is in charge of court meetings, guests, etiquette, etc. Honglu Temple is a sixth-rank official. Cai Xinhua put on a brand-new official uniform to take office, and his face is full of joy.

Complacent, he thanked the master but didn't say thank you, and even offered a silver note of 1000 taels with both hands, "It's a bit thin, sir, don't blame me." In this way, respect is worse than obedience." After earning 3000 taels, and accepting 1000 taels, the master was very happy.

Now that the master has money in his hands, it is indispensable to go to the hall to honor Hongxiu from time to time. As time goes by, the two of them really have some feelings for each other.Today, the master casually said to Hongxiu, "How about I also donate an official to do it?" It must be interesting to see Cai Xinhua's enthusiasm for being an official.

"Don't want to be an official," Hongxiu told him the truth from the bottom of his heart, "Nowadays the people are living in dire straits. I heard that there are bandits ten miles away from the capital. What kind of official should you be at this time!" It is good to be an official in peacetime, The world is going to be in chaos, what kind of official are you still doing?

"How can a man not want to be an official? Besides, if I become an official, I can redeem you." The master held Hong Xiu's hand and said with a smile, "But if you don't allow me to be an official, I won't do it."

The two can't do without Qingqing and me.Afterwards, the master watched carefully, and sure enough, the situation was getting more and more serious day by day, and the master was unavoidably worried.He followed all the way from Xijing, so he naturally knew that the road was not smooth, but he never noticed that even the vicinity of the capital was in chaos day by day.So, can you still stay in the capital?Where is the safest place?The master secretly made up his mind.

When the master was thinking of retreating, Cai Xinhua went to the yamen every day in high spirits.He was born well, but he is very diligent and likable as a newcomer, "Did Cai Sicheng ever get married?" Master Lu, the young minister of Honglu Temple with gray hair, asked.

Cai Xinhua blushed, and replied in a strange way, "Not yet." He didn't think about it when he said this, but he was relieved when he said it: Who has married a wife?Such a sinister woman is ashamed to be his wife.

Master Lu twirled his gray beard and said with a smile, "It's a pity that such a young and promising man has not yet married." Cai Xinhua only blushed and did not speak, showing a gentle and gentle honesty.

What is the meaning of Master Lu's words like this?Do you want to do it for yourself?Mrs. Lu is notoriously fond of matchmaking!Cai Xinhua thought dizzily.Master Lu and Mrs. Lu are both from famous families. If they are matchmakers for themselves, they are both daughters of famous families!Cai Xinhua's heart was pounding.

When Cai Xinhua returned to his home on Dingfu Avenue, there was a young woman in beautiful clothes sitting in the main room.The young woman was wearing an apricot-yellow thin satin pannier embroidered with big red peonies, and a long skirt of light blue cloud satin and moonlight.She is holding a tall flying fairy bun, and a hairpin inlaid with rubies, trembling branches of golden steps, shining brightly and exquisitely, making her face white as jade and radiant even more.

Cai Xinhua's face darkened.The beautifully dressed young woman got up gracefully, walked over to greet Cai Xinhua, and greeted with a smile, "My husband is back." Her tone was extremely familiar.Cai Xinhua looked at her coldly, and asked, "Who allowed you to come?" He was so capable that he chased her all the way to the capital.

This beautifully dressed young woman is Cai Xinhua's cousin and wife, Pu Shi.Pu Shi traveled thousands of miles to the capital to find her husband, and the first time she met Cai Xinhua, she was like this, she felt a little chilled, "My in-laws allowed me to come!"

In-laws!Father has always been indifferent, and mother has the final say in the family. Naturally, your aunt will help you!Cai Xinhua glared at Pu Shi angrily, "You don't want to serve your parents at home, what are you doing in Beijing!"

Pu Shi was about to speak angrily, but then she had a second thought: I have traveled thousands of miles to find the capital, I have suffered so much, suffered so much, could it be that I came to quarrel with him?Trying to suppress the anger in her heart, Pu said softly, "How can a husband and wife have an overnight feud? Good cousin, don't be angry with me again." She swayed Cai Xinhua's arm, coquettishly.

Cai Xinhua threw her away unceremoniously, "It was you who ruined my good deed!" After the self-explanatory speech left, he missed it day and night, thinking about it, he blamed the family members who came to report the wedding that day.If he reported half a day late, wouldn't he have already been sent to the bridal chamber, which would be a good thing?If there are any more changes in the future, the most likely solution is to change from a wife to a concubine.

Cai Xinhua didn't vent his anger, so he grabbed the family member who reported the news and beat him severely.The family was panicked and shouted, "What does it have to do with me? Miss Biao ordered me to come down, do I dare not listen?" In fact, he took a lot of money from Pu's family to bribe him, so he didn't mention it.

Cai Xinhua was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out: my cousin had been devoted to me since she was a child, so once she heard the news, she must have rushed to spread it at all costs to prevent her wedding.

Why not wait until after the wedding?Cai Xinhua was very angry after thinking about it.This cousin who succeeds more than fails, you just have to wait another day and a half to talk about it, I have already married and married, Xie Yu can't run away anymore!

After that, Cai Xinhua didn't want to get along with Pu's family anymore. He first bought a few beautiful maidservants, and then simply went to Beijing to donate officials.At this time Pu worked hard to chase after him, Cai Xinhua was still angry, "Why can't we wait for a day and a half?"

Pu Shi is also angry: what are you waiting for?When the two of you pay homage and get married, even if you can divorce her in the future, if I marry in again, I will become the second wife!I am a good girl, why don't I be the first wife and the second wife, I am stupid.

Pu Shi shed tears, and said to Cai Xinhua sincerely, "It's not that my petty family can't tolerate others, but it's the An family's marriage. It's absolutely impossible to do it! Husband, do you know what crime An Zan committed? Tell people to scare people." Pu Shi Looking at his handsome husband-in-law with tears in his eyes, he thought triumphantly, hum, if you know what crime An Zan committed, let's see if you dare to marry that An Jieyu.
