Chapter 1168: A Good Show
"This kid is a likable kid." As soon as Mrs. Xue said this, if the six concubines and the second concubine present didn't understand her thoughts, they might as well find a piece of tofu and kill her.
Kong Daiyao finally got the top treatment of eight laps, Mrs. Xue knew it in her heart, Li Zhongyi only mentioned Zhao Xueniang, but did not say Kong Daiyao, obviously did not particularly value the Kong girl, but always thought about the Zhao girl.
Since Mrs. Zhang gave up her face and cried to Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xue simply did good things to the end, and said with a smile: "This child is very well-behaved, and he has learned all kinds of rules very well, and there is a shortage of a good child around me, what do you think?" ”
Li Qiniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she had just been newly married, if Mrs. Xue directly assigned Kong Daiyao to Li Zhongyi's side, it would be too much of an eyesore, right?
Now that Mrs. Xue has left Kong Daiyao by her side, no matter what the situation is in the future, at least for the time being, there is no need to worry.
In terms of appearance, Li Qiniang has at least 98 points, although Kong Daiyao is very beautiful, at most it is 90 points, Li Qiniang and Li Zhongyi have a very good relationship, she is not worried about men empathizing and not falling in love.
Li Qiniang was mainly afraid of Mrs. Xue's interference. In this era, if there is a conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law has countless means to rectify the daughter-in-law into misery.
If Mrs. Xue doesn't like Li Qiniang, she only needs to reward Li Zhongyi with a Peugeot girl every once in a while, and Li Qiniang will be tossed to death.
It's very simple, under the basic ethics of putting filial piety first, even if the mother of the head of the family is not a famous concubine, as a daughter-in-law, she can't beat or scold, let alone abuse.
Just imagine, the mother-in-law's reward is a woman who wants to replace Chenghuan in the inner room. When the hostess is overwhelmed, it is the duty and obligation of the room to climb into the bed and make the man completely comfortable.
The hostess can't help this type of special room climb the bed, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the mother-in-law, and it will be in line with the seven out of the unvirtuous and unfilial piety!
Fortunately, although Mrs. Xue likes Tang Shuyi the most, she has never let Li Qiniang not get off the stage in public, and she has always been perfunctory in her face.
Of course, in the backyard of the old Li family, no one dared to upset Mrs. Xue, including the most favored Li Qiniang, everyone was obedient to Mrs. Xue and did not dare to disobey the slightest.
In the backyard, if Mrs. Xue doesn't like anyone, even if Li Zhongyi is covered, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat!
Kong Daiyao's successful selection and being favored by the prospective queen mother, after the news spread, Kong Kun, who had been very nervous, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Zhang cried and begged Mrs. Xue, if Kong Daiyao still lost the election, it means that the Supreme Family is very dissatisfied with Kong Kun, the counselor.
If there is really such a bad situation, if Kong Kun does not take the initiative to resign, he will definitely be drowned by the saliva of the Taiwan officials.
The draft continued, but Mrs. Xue didn't take the initiative to speak, she came with a special purpose, except for Kong Daiyao who was Zhao Xueniang.
Now, since Kong Daiyao has been successfully selected, Mrs. Xue is waiting to see what kind of woman Zhao Xueniang is, and she can actually let Li Zhongyi, who is as stunning as a cloud around her, ask for help for her?
In fact, before this draft, Li Zhongyi had secretly told Li Qiniang and gave a detailed list of those who must be selected.
The women on the list are all shrewd characters of powerful families above the fourth rank, if they are allowed to bear the burden of marriage for the family.
You may not be able to see anything in a short period of time, but after a long time, let the powerful family weave a huge network of relationships with the same qi and branches, and it will become a problem for the henchmen of the imperial court!
Regarding the power of this kind of relationship network, the gourd case in "Dream of Red Mansions" is actually very clear and clear.
In order to rob Xiangling, the dumb overlord Xue Pan actually killed Feng Yuan, which is a typical homicide.
As a result, under the suggestion of the gourd monk, Jia Hua, the disciple of the Jia family, that is, Jia Yucun, learned the inside story of the four major families of Jia Wang Shi Xue, and after learning about the inside story of the four major families of King Jia and Shi Xue, he decisively sentenced a gourd case.
In all dynasties, the gradual bankruptcy of yeoman farmers was almost always in collusion with the bureaucratic landlord class and the deepening exploitation of interests, which was fatally and directly related.
Between wealthy families, the relationship network is mainly spread by several means, such as marriage, the same township, the same department, the same year, the same division, the same army, and so on.
Among them, the most powerful and reliable relationship is that children get married and become in-laws.
In this era, as long as you are not disgraced or resigned, or facing the danger of extinction, if you don't help each other, you will definitely be poked in the backbone by wealthy families of the same class, and you will never be able to mix up again.
The fundamental principle of Li Zhongyi's governance is actually to develop industry, suppress the arrogant and strong, reduce taxes, and support self-cultivation. Among them, suppressing the powerful and powerful is the top priority, and the risk is also extremely high.
In these years, blocking people's financial and official roads is more hateful than killing parents!
Li Zhongyi blocked the unscrupulous annexation of land by the elite class and the expansion of power, and as the contradictions deepened day by day, it may be okay for the time being, but sooner or later it will come to one time in the future, or even several times to break out.
Kong Daiyao stood quietly behind Mrs. Xue, but in her heart, she was always uneasy.
With Kong Daiyao's character, appearance and talent, if it weren't for the wrong drunken and sleeping in the Jieshuai's mansion, it was rumored that there was a scandal of "serving the Jieshuai", why is it difficult to choose a good son-in-law who fits his heart?
However, after Kong Daiyao was handpicked by Mrs. Xue, entering the palace was a foregone conclusion, and there was no room for change.
No matter what Kong Daiyao thinks, her entry into the palace is actually a happy situation in the eyes of outsiders.
Kong Daiyao was named by Mrs. Xue to serve when her reputation was lost and her reputation was completely ruined, as long as she was not blind, she could see that this was just a cover for Mrs. Xue for her son, and it was just a round scene.
Excuse me, is there still a shortage of people to serve the most noble woman in the Great Zhou, the prospective queen mother?
This is simply that the Supreme Family has rewarded Kong Shenxiang with a great face, and the Kong family not only can't complain, but has to be grateful and grateful.
Heavenly grace, it is really boundless!
The Governor's Mansion of the Six Armies is divided into six military offices, front and back, left and right, up and down. These six military offices were newly established yamen after Li Zhongyi entered Kaifeng City.
The chief and deputy governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Six Armies are all veterans of the old dynasty, and their status is extremely lofty, but they have no military power at hand, and they can't command a single soldier, and they are purely cold bench yamen who receive money for the elderly.
Zhao Kuangyin, the new former military governor, has a very high grade and status, and his salary is also unusually good. It's just that he is only in his thirties now, and he can only raise flowers and plants all day long, eat and wait for death.
From the bottom of his heart, although Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why Li Zhongyi didn't like him so much, he understood that if he wanted to turn over one day, his only hope could only be pinned on Zhao Xueniang.
On the contrary, Zhao Xueniang's heart has always been stuffed with Li Zhongyi, and there is no other man!
In order to send Zhao Xueniang to the palace and smoothly send it to Li Zhongyi's side, Zhao Kuangyin racked his brains and thought of a lot of ways. It's just that the final outcome still depends on today's luck, that is, God's will!
Zhao Kuangyin's status is high, and soon after Kong Daiyao's appearance, Zhao Xueniang made a shining debut.
For today's selection, Zhao Xueniang was really nervous, and she made sufficient preparations in advance. It's just that the family surnamed Zhao is a family of military generals, and its cultural heritage is very limited.
In Mrs. Xue's eyes, just for her walking demeanor, Zhao Xueniang is worse than Kong Daiyao, how can she go out more than ten streets?
In terms of appearance, Zhao Xueniang is at most between Kong Daiyao and Gong Zhongzhong, and she can't be compared with Li Qiniang, Fei Meiniang and other disasters of the country.
Mrs. Xue wondered in her heart, why did Zhao Xueniang, who looked "ordinary", win Li Zhongyi's special favor, and actually moved out of her mother to help secretly?
The difference between the aristocracy and the nouveau riche is not in the power of today, but in the various details of life.
In "Dream of Red Mansions", the Rongguo Gongjia Mansion, whether it is eating, dressing, speaking, courtesy, etc., you can see the fine attention everywhere.
Even Lin Daiyu, the only daughter of Lin Ruhai, who patrols the salt imperial history, when she first entered Jiafu, she had to carefully observe every word and deed, every meal and tea, and then she dared to learn the appearance of everyone in Jiafu and paint a scoop according to the gourd.
Under the monopoly system of salt and iron monopoly, the officials in charge of salt are definitely the first-class beauty and shortage of oil.
Because it is the first draft, although Li Zhongyi has set a big framework, there is a lot of room for sway in the details of the assessment.
Mrs. Xue wanted to see what Zhao Xueniang's strengths were, so she deliberately drank tea with her head bored, as if she didn't see her.
Li Qiniang is obsessed with Li Zhongyi every day, and she naturally knows that her man's impression of Zhao Kuangyin is very likely not very good.
The so-called love Wu and the house, correspondingly, hate the Wu will also be the house, Li Qiniang obviously knew that the people surnamed Zhao were all military generals, but deliberately asked Zhao Xueniang: "Have you ever learned the piano?" ”
Zhao Xueniang was immediately embarrassed, she was pampered by Mrs. Du since she was a child, and she was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, but she didn't learn to be a female celebrity, let alone know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"If you go back to your mother, the courtiers are not good at stroking the piano." Zhao Xueniang's pretty face was flushed, but Li Qiniang was Li Zhongyi's favorite concubine, and she didn't dare not answer.
Hearing Zhao Xueniang say this, the concubines present immediately understood that Zhao Xueniang dared to love Zhao Xueniang as a lady of a wealthy family, and she turned out to be a big straw bag who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it!
There is actually a reason why the piano is in the first place. In this era, among literati and artists, in addition to comparing calligraphy and reciting poems and lyrics, the most important thing is piano skills.
Good at playing the qin, and not good at playing the qin, is an important indicator to examine the high or low cultural heritage of his family.
It's a pity that Zhao Xueniang was asked at the first level, and she was embarrassed in public and went to her grandmother's house!
Li Qiniang asked Zhao Xueniang silently: "Have you ever studied female red?" Li Cuixuan couldn't help but shake her head secretly, Li Qiniang's words were a little mean.
In this era, women who can't be popular women are even very problematic to say goodbye. However, Zhao Xueniang is recognized as not good at female popularity, and Li Qiniang's questioning is tantamount to publicly slapping the surname Zhao in the face.
Mrs. Xue understood as soon as she heard it, no wonder her own son actually wanted to ask her biological mother for help, Li Qiniang was obviously going to Zhao Xueniang to lose the election in public.
I'm afraid that Li Zhongyi inadvertently missed something that made Li Qiniang worry about it, right?
