Qin Luan was full of suspicion, and he didn't notice that Li Tang's face beside him had turned red.

Just now, he also said that Gaofu Yin couldn't spare Hou Shigui, but Gaofu Yin was so frightened that he handed over his resignation.

Being slapped in the face like this in front of Qin Luan was so ashamed that he almost didn't rush out of Dingfeng Tower.

Secretly said that this Hou Shigui is also hateful, causing himself to be so ugly in front of Miss Qin, if he has the opportunity, but ......

Thinking that Miss Qin seemed to hate this Hou Shigui very much, if she wanted to please Miss Qin, she might be able to ......

There was a gleam in his eyes, and a plan to please the beautiful woman had been born in his heart.

"Childe, do you really want to give away all this money? But that's what you've been saving in a lifetime. ”

In the inn, Hou Shigui looked at the four big boxes in front of him, and said expressionlessly:

"Send it."

When he came to Beijing, he brought all his belongings from Xiling.

Five boxes, a total of 100,000 taels of snowflake silver, and a cart of perfume.

Originally, he was also going to use these silver coins to open up all links, but at this time, he was still a little painful when he saw that he was about to give them all away.

Not only him, but also Bao Ji, Xiang Xu and Wang Hou on the side had a heartbroken expression.

It's really this white snowflake silver that is said to be sent, and no one can give it up.

But this is the money that must be spent, Hou Shigui did not hesitate, but repeatedly explained:

"You must remember that a box is taken to the officials of the ministry, and you don't ask them to help me, as long as you don't come out to embarrass me.

There are three boxes left, one box is sent to Wang Zhen and Zheng Yang's mansion separately, and one box is given to many friends in my father's Jingzhong, and the last box is given to Bao Sen, who is useful for himself. ”

Money opens the way, and it is invincible.

Although Hou Shigui hated the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Household and Industry that day, as soon as the money came out, many people opened their eyes when they saw the money.

Coupled with Tang Rujie's operation in it, at least the officials responsible for the assessment of filial piety and honesty have no obstacles.

And as the assessment deadline is approaching, there are many people who come to Beijing from all over the world.

After all, Dachu has a vast territory, and it is like a county like Linben, and there is a quota for filial piety and honesty every year.

The filial piety assessment is only once a year, and all those who are promoted to filial piety must rush to Beijing before the deadline.

Especially in the past few days of the assessment, the Jingzhong Inn is even more crowded.

On this day, Hou Shigui had breakfast in the inn in civilian clothes, and was about to practice the body technique that Guo Lianqing taught him.

I don't want to walk outside the door but walk into a large group of people:

"I don't want to be found such a free inn by us, fortunately, fortunately!"

These people only glanced at Hou Shigui, and they didn't take it seriously, so they walked into the hall of the inn and sat down.

There are about ten people in this group, and it seems that they should be filial piety who entered Beijing to participate in the assessment.

Seeing their dress, most of them are richly dressed, with light steps and a glorious glow.

Only a few or two people were dressed in greetings, and they followed behind the crowd with their heads bowed and silent.

In the beginning, the matter of filial piety and honesty was to raise local people with outstanding ability and virtue to serve the country.

It is the only way to get into the cold.

But so far, the filial piety system has been full of ills, and the local officials are no longer meritocracy, but only those who have a background in the family and have strong strength can obtain filial piety.

As for those poor scholars, the magistrate will not care whether they live or die.

It is because at this age, the filial piety system is all the second ancestors of various places, and the gentlemen.

The truly talented are less than one in ten.

Just like the former Tianhe Mansion Jun Changxiang, who was as stupid as a pig and a dog, he was played around by Hou Shigui, and in the end, he was forced to commit suicide by a grass people.

But such a fool can sit in the high position of the monarch of Tianhe Mansion, which is the result of filial piety and honesty and the weighing of the pros and cons of all parties.

Eight gentry, two poor families......

Seeing the configuration of these people, Hou Shigui only sighed in his heart for the poor scholars of this world, and he wanted to open his mouth to tell them that this inn was chartered by himself and invited them out.

Who would have thought that before he could speak, those people sat on the chairs in the inn hall and yelled at Hou Shigui:

"You little two! Dementia isn't it? Serve tea to grandpa! ”

Because Hou Shigui was going to practice, he only wore very simple cloth and civilian clothes.

I don't want to, but these people treat me as a shopkeeper.

The person who spoke, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, big waist and round waist, looked strong, and had a condescending momentum when he spoke.

I think it's the usual commander who is used to commanding.

Seeing all the people around him, they all surrounded him in the middle like a moon and stars, and he knew that these filial piety should be headed by this strong man.

The assessment was approaching, and Hou Shigui didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't bother to pay attention to them, and just let them sit in the hall.

Then he shouted to the second floor:

"Miss Guo, it's time for morning class."

Then I only heard a few muffled footsteps of "dong dong dong", Guo Lianqing was also wearing civilian clothes, and ran down with a steamed bun in her mouth:

"Childe, why do you get up so early every day, I ...... Yikes! Why are there so many people?! ”

Although her casual clothes still cover her body tightly, it is tightly fitted, and it does not show a little spring light.

But after all, this is the clothes that girls wear in private, and it is always bad to be seen by outsiders.

When everyone heard this, they saw a beautiful woman screaming in shame, and ran upstairs with her face flushed with her chest covered.

"This ...... This, this, this...... It is worthy of being a Jingshi! Any inn has such a stunning appearance! ”

The sturdy boy exclaimed in surprise, folded the fan and slapped his palm, and said to Hou Shigui:

"Little Er, this son asks you, what is the woman's surname? Where do you live? Have you ever been married? ”

Unexpectedly, after asking, the shopkeeper didn't care about himself at all, and the strong boy hadn't spoken yet.

The people around him were anxious:

"Yo, the people in this capital have a big temper!

Boy, do you know that this son is the son of the Zheng family, one of the twelve founding ministers? ”

Was assigned to the Zheng family in Yongzhen Lingnan?

Hou Shigui took a closer look at this Zheng Gongzi, and thought that the Zheng family has many branches, but those who can be called the sons of the Zheng family are all descendants.

And the Zheng family has only one son, who is the same age as himself, and he is famous.

This person must be that Zheng Dehuai.

After a hundred years of spring and autumn, the family of the 12 ministers of Conglong, who was in the limelight at the time of the founding of the country, has long been down.

Among the twelve, only the Hou family is slightly better, at least Hou Puru still has an idle position as a scholar in Beijing.

The other houses are worse than the other, and some of them are so miserable that even the incense is broken.

If there is still the majesty of the past, this Zheng Dehuai will not have to work hard to find an inn.

Hou Shigui was about to greet him, but Guo Lianqing, who had changed his clothes, hurriedly ran down and said to Hou Shigui with a smile:

"Okay, Childe, let's go practice."

The beauty smiled, and the country and the city were captivated.

Seeing Guo Lianqing's smile, Zheng Dehuai and his peers around him looked dumbfounded, especially those two poor families who were filial piety.

raised his hand again and again to cover his eyes, but he was afraid that he would lose his mind when he saw his beauty.

"It turns out that he is also a son."
