Cui He looked at his father in a bit of a panic, not knowing what to do. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cui Wending looked at Cui He's face, and saw that although Cui He was flustered, he never agreed to his meaning, so he couldn't help but snort.

The water spilled by the married daughter is indeed true.

Cui Wending thought about it and knew that he couldn't make Cui He listen to himself with his strength, so he had to change his strategy. He sat on the chair opposite Cui He with a heavy face, and said in a serious voice: "Cui He, your mother died early, and I am a father and a mother alone to pull your brother and sister together, not only to teach your younger brother Cui Changwu to read, but also to prevent your Aunt Xue from bullying you, and it is not easy for my father." ”

"At that time, my father had to go to the capital to do business, and he was not at home for three days. No one cares about you at home, you run to the street every day, and my father is afraid that you will be gossiped about and won't be able to get married! When my father was doing business in the capital, he asked around if there was a child of an official eunuch who was as compatible as you, and who knew that in the end Li Zhi actually came to my house to propose marriage. ”

"Dad gave you a dowry at that time, didn't give you a shame, right?"

Cui He nodded and said, "Daddy is good to Cui He, Cui He knows." ”

Cui Wending stroked his beard and smiled, as if he recalled the joyful scene of marrying his daughter that day.

After thinking about it, Cui Wending said: "But now the situation is different, and it has changed a lot. ”

"Now Li Zhigui is the Duke of Jinguo, and the control in his hands is a town in Tianjin and the four provinces of Shandong, Liaodong, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand. said that Li Zhi is the Duke of Jinguo, I don't think this Duke of Jinguo can reflect his honor. Now the common people of Tianjin and Shandong only know Li Zhi, and I am afraid that they have forgotten even the saint. ”

"The relatives of Li Zhi's family, but anyone who has some ability, all of them have ascended to heaven. That Li Laosi, an orphan who used to eat hundreds of meals, has now been promoted to a general, and he is about to become a general soldier. What is Zheng Kaicheng, a scholar who has not been admitted to the examination, and it is also rumored that he wants to be a general soldier. ”

"That Zheng Yuan, who used to make miscellaneous fires for people in a restaurant, only had one or two months of money a month. Since following Li Zhi, it has changed every year, and now it is rumored that he is one of Li Zhi's most powerful ministers, saying that he wants to be the governor of Liaodong. ”

Cui Wending shook his head and said, "Who are these people?" ”

Cui He bit his lip and thought about it, and said: "Husband said, I don't know how many people are buried in the people. Within a township, there are immortal generals. Although these relatives of Fujun were born in poverty, they followed Fujun to fight on horses, honed and learned, and now they are all talents who can take charge of themselves. Daddy can't look down on these Li family and Zheng family because they are from poor backgrounds. ”

Cui Wending saw that Cui Heyi was thinking about speaking for Li Zhi, and he was a little annoyed in his heart.

However, he didn't have any expression on his face, and nodded seriously and said, "He'er, you're right, Daddy won't look down on them because of their low background." Daddy just wants to say that our Cui family is the pillar of the Li family! ”

Cui Wending thought for a while, and said earnestly: "He'er, think about it, in the future, Li Zhi will die of old age, and my grandson Li Huan will inherit the title, so he looks around, who are those who occupy high positions?" Or a meritorious veteran who has nothing to do with him, or a distant relative who is not very close to him! ”

"These people are all Li Zhi's meritorious veterans, and they speak straightforwardly in front of Li Zhi. Now Li Zhi's prestige is in full swing, and these distant relatives are Li Zhi's hand, so they are naturally loyal. But in Li Huan's era, when Li Huan's son inherits his father's business and inherits the title of Duke of Jinguo, will these veteran exploits still listen to Li Huan? ”

"At that time, Li Huan will not have the support of strong relatives, maybe these governors and general soldiers will have to divide their own territories, and in the end, it is not good to say that they will all worship at the feet of the court, and in the end they will all listen to the Son of Heaven."

Li Zhi relied on his uncle's family, and now it is rumored that Li Zhi wants to promote his uncle Zheng Yuan to be the governor. What will Li Huan rely on in the future? Without the help of my Cui family, can he suppress these distant relatives? ”

"Li Zhi and the gentry are mortal enemies, and I don't know how many people they have offended. If Li Huan didn't have a strong family around him, would Li Huan be able to withstand the gentry's counterattack after Li Zhi's death? Only by letting Li Zhi's uncle's family, that is, our Cui family, occupy a high position, can Li Huan be able to suppress the officials of one town and four provinces, sit firmly in the position of the Duke of Jinguo, and withstand the counterattack of the gentry! ”

"He'er, you don't think about your father, but also for the sake of your son and daughter's future."

"This banking system is extremely important. If our Cui family can master the banking system, Li Huan will have a boost in the future. Daddy is forty-five years old and has to come out to do things, not only for the Cui family, but also for the Li family! ”

Hearing Cui Wending's words, Cui He lowered his head a little and bit his lip and thought, but did not speak.

Cui Wending saw that Cui He had already listened to his words, so he didn't say more. He sat in Cui He's house for a few more minutes without saying a word, and then shook his hand and left.

Cui He lost his mind for a long time because of Cui Wending's words, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Cui He thought about it gloomily for a day, but the next day he welcomed his younger brother Cui Changwu.

When Cui Yiyi saw Cui Changwu, he said helplessly: "Second brother, are you also here to ask for an official?" ”

Cui Changwu stood in front of Cui He, respectfully bowed to his sister, and said, "Sister, I'm not here to ask for an official, I'm here to abandon an official." ”

Cui He was stunned and asked, "Now that your brother-in-law has the right to appoint civil officials in one town and four provinces, and everyone in Tianjin is vying for officials, why do you want to abandon your office?" ”

Cui Changwu said: "I heard that my father wants to be the president of the bank, and he is very anxious to persecute my sister. ”

"Although my brother-in-law loves my sister, for my brother-in-law, our Cui family is just a wife's family after all, and there is no reason to reuse it. My brother-in-law asked me to be the ambassador of the shogunate, which is already very important. Now that my father wants to come out and be an official, if I dominate the position of the shogunate, my brother-in-law will definitely think that our Cui family has to look forward to Shu. ”

Cui Changwu said: "If my brother-in-law is disgusted with my Cui family, and even dissatisfied with my sister because of this, it will be greatly uncost-effective!" In case my brother-in-law has another woman or even gives birth to a child, then my nephew Li Huan's status will be impacted in the future. ”

Cui He also knew that his father Cui Wending wanted to be an official. But Cui He was worried that Li Zhi would be unhappy, so he didn't tell Li Zhi about it for a long time.

Li Zhi treats Cui He very well, and Cui He is afraid that he will accidentally break Li Zhi's love for him. If Li Zhi is disgusted with himself and starts marrying concubines, and he is getting older and older year by year, I am afraid that he will no longer be favored by Li Zhi.

Seeing that Cui Changwu was so sensible, Cui He sighed and did not speak.

Cui Changwu said: "So since my father insists on being an official, I will quit, so that our Cui family will not be too dazzling, and my brother-in-law will not be disgusted with our Cui family." ”

Hearing Cui Changwu's words, Cui He couldn't help but redden. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Second brother, our Cui family is the most sensible for you." When your nephew Li Huan grows up, he will definitely tell your brother-in-law that he will reuse you. ”
