Chapter 67 - Life Guarantee
Just do it, it is Xue Shao's usual style. Riding a Weilong BMW out of the house, Xue Shao went straight to Xishi to find Yu Hongye first, preparing to take her and her tea set with her, and then visit Xue Kegou.
has always been a good man and three gangs, not to mention mixing in officialdom. Xue Shao didn't expect the imperial marriage that had not yet been brushed to bring him everything; People, still have to rely on themselves. Helping and promoting Yao Yuanchong today, no matter how far he mixes up tomorrow, it will always be good for him. Even if he doesn't achieve anything until he dies, he can be regarded as multiple friends and multiple paths.
If you don't sow in the spring, where will the harvest come in the fall.
Xue Shao arrived at Yu Hongye's handicraft workshop, and their work progressed very quickly. Yu Hongye is very serious in her work, every bra is small to every part, she has personally carefully checked and carefully considered.
The place in the West Market gathers the world's wealth and goods, and gathers countless merchants to crawl and roll here, one is more shrewd than the other, and everyone is running for money. Therefore, if you want to earn an extra copper plate, you have to rack your brains as carefully as if you were experiencing a war.
No matter how shrewd and capable Yu Hongye is, after all, she is a woman with a meager background, and it is not easy to stand out and laugh proudly. What's more, in addition to the competition in the dark, there is also a battle on the surface in the mall, if Xue Shao hadn't appeared in time to stop the siege of a group of people last time, her store would probably have been removed from the West Market.
Now that Xue Shao is able to do royal business, it can be regarded as a major opportunity and turning point in Yu Hongye's life destiny. Therefore, she attaches great importance to this business, not only investing a lot of money and manpower, but also pouring almost all her efforts.
Everyone will encounter many opportunities in their lives, and a few people grasp them and succeed. Most people sit idly by and watch the opportunity slip away and become mediocre.
Xue Shao felt that Yu Hongye should be the former.
"How many?" Xue Shao asked.
"By tomorrow morning, two hundred whole numbers will be made." Yu Hongye said, "The shoulder straps and belts have cowhide elastic bands and loose slipknots that are easy to adjust, and people with different fat and thin people can probably wear them." The main thing is to distinguish the size for different cups. Red leaves have been researched many times, and the B and C cups are the most made, followed by the A cup and the D cup. There are also very small amounts...... Ding cup or more. β
This Yu Hongye is really smart, and he can do market research. Xue Shao smiled, "Ding Cup or above, did you make a special trip for someone like Yuenu?" β
"Hongye is going to take two bras to Yuenu to try it himself, only to know if it is suitable for Lu Dao." Yu Hongye's face was slightly red, and he smiled gracefully, "Please wait, wait for Hongye to change his clothes and then accompany Gongzi to visit Xue Shilang!" β
"Okay."
Later, the two arrived at Xue Kegou's house. As soon as the old man saw Xue Shao and Yu Hongye, he laughed, "It's a good time, the old man happens to be addicted to tea!" As for that day, after drinking the tea made by the red leaf girl, it would not be a taste for the old man to drink the tea in his own house again! β
"It's also an honor for the little nephew to be able to serve the uncle!" Xue Shao smiled and bowed his hand.
"Sit, sit!"
The two sat in the hall, and Yu Hongye made tea from the side.
Xue Shao didn't go around the bend either, and said straight to the point: "Uncle clan, the little nephew came today, in fact, he has something to ask for. β
"Okay, you say." Xue Ke is also dry. If he has nothing to do, he has been an official for decades, how can he not guess.
"The little nephew has a friend, born in Wuxing Yao's family, about thirty years old, full of talents." Xue Shao said, "Originally, he had no intention of pursuing a career, but the little nephew felt that he was a rare talent who did practical things, so he took the initiative to persuade him to participate in this year's Spring Festival scientific examination and become an official." Therefore, the little nephew forced him to write a book and wanted to join the clan uncle's door. β
"Ho ho, how can you force people to refer to the reason for entering the office!" Xue Kegou stroked his beard and laughed, "Wu Xing Yao's family is a famous family. What's his name? β
"Yao Yuanchong, the word Yuanzhi."
Xue Kewei nodded and stretched out his hand, "Bring the scroll." β
Xue Shao smiled and handed over Yao Yuanchong's two crooked poems, "In a hurry, this volume is a little shabby." Don't blame the clansman! β
"You! β¦β¦ Ha Lu Ha! Xue Kegou smiled disapprerovingly, spread out the scroll and glanced at it, his brows furrowed, "This poem is very ordinary!" β
"Yes." Xue Shao nodded, "He is a capable minister who does practical things, and he is not known for his literary and poetic talents." Because of this, the little nephew specially asked the clan uncle to help with the dots. β
"The old man has a little friendship with Wei Xuantong, the secretary of the ministry, and he can help a little bit." Xue Kewei said, "But the scientific examination is not something that can be said by a scholar, and there is also a scholar's left servant who shoots Liu Renliang." Although Liu Renliang Taoguang Yanghui is extremely resigning from the position of servant, and he rarely manages the affairs of Shangshu Province, but a little more above, there is Pei Yan, who is a servant of the door, he is in the limelight! β
Xue Shao smiled slightly, "The clan uncle just recommends Yao Yuanchong." The left servant and the waiter over there, there shouldn't be much of an opinion. β
Xue Kegou has been in the officialdom for decades, and he has long been as good as a ghost, how can he not hear the meaning of Xue Shao's words?
Now Pei Yan has risen strongly under the promotion of the queen of heaven, especially at this juncture when the spring scientific examination is imminent, and in one fell swoop he replaced Hao Chujun to take over the province and become the prime minister of the service, and the intention of the queen of heaven is quite obvious, that is, to let Pei Yan take this opportunity to make more contacts and recruit more protΓ©gΓ©s, so as to strengthen his strength and stabilize his position.
Since Xue Shao dared to recommend Yao Yuanchong at such a juncture, he naturally had his reasons. Although he has not officially married Princess Taiping, it is definitely no problem to give the queen a sentence or two through Princess Taiping. Perhaps, this Yao Yuanchong has long been "on the list" in the heart of the queen of heaven.
Now Xue Shao pretended to recommend Yao Yuanchong by his Xue Kegou's hand, and he really looked up to him, let him pick up a good name for the imperial court and give Yao Yuanchong this favor. If Yao Yuanchong soars to the top, he will definitely not be able to forget Xue Kegou, who has the grace of helping him!
not only obeyed the mind of the queen of heaven, but also gained the favor of Xue Shao and Yao Yuanchong, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Xue Kegou to kill two birds with one stone. It's a win-win for both parties.
Xue Kewei nodded with a smile, "Since it is a friend recommended by Cheng Yu, of course the old man can't refuse." I accepted the scroll, and sooner or later I will recommend Yao Yuanchong. However, after all, the old man is not an official of the Ministry and the Ministry of Disciples, and how Yao Yuanchong does in the exam at that time depends on his own talent. β
"Thank you for your success!" Xue Shao bowed his hand, "The clan uncle can do this step, it is already benevolent and righteous." The rest, it depends on Yao Yuanchong's own creation! β
"Good, good!" Xue Kegou stroked his beard and smiled, "As a relative of the country, it is very good to be able to recommend talents for the imperial court." You can rest assured, the old man will try his best to recommend this Yao Yuanchong. β
"Thank you, Uncle Clan!" Xue Shao bowed his hand again, "According to the little nephew's humble opinion, Yao Yuanchong is a practical person, and it is best for him to start from a small official at the county level to accumulate experience." β
"Hehe, it seems that Chengyu is quite important to this Yao Yuanchong!" Xue Kewei nodded and smiled, "Okay, the old man will try to help him try to help him find a real job as a county magistrate of his parents!" But after all, the old man is not actually in power, and what kind of official position he can get in the end, the old man does not dare to fully guarantee it. β
"Thank you, Uncle Clan!"
Yu Hongye boiled the tea and presented it to the two of them.
"What a great tea! It's fragrant and delicious, and the salt flavor is just right! Xue Kegou took a sip and was full of praise, "Chengyu, your maid really has a delicate heart, and you can accurately grasp the salty taste of the old man so quickly!" β
"Xue Xianggong has an overreputation, and the slave family really doesn't dare to be it." Yu Hongye hurriedly thanked him.
"Ha Luha, my mouth is also sweet, you have to call me Xianggong!" Xue Kegou laughed twice, and then said, "Chengyu, last time Xue Ji was here, the old man had some things that were not convenient to say. β
Xue Shao said: "If the clan uncle has any admonitions, you might as well say it directly today." Momiji is my confidant. β
"Hmm." Xue Kewei nodded, his expression became a little more serious, and said, "My Fenyin Xue family is a big surname in Hedong, and I have always had a prosperous family and famous ministers, which can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period at the earliest. Over the past hundreds of years, the Xue clan has continued to grow, reaching its peak from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and is a first-class famous nobleman. Li Tang won the world with military strength in Guanlong, although he was a royal family, but the surname Li was not noble in the eyes of the world, far inferior to Xue Wei and Pei Liu in Guanzhong and Cui Li and King Zheng of Shandong, these traditional aristocratic surnames. In that year, Emperor Taizong ordered the compilation of the clan chronicles, and the surname Guanlong Li was originally ranked as the fourth class surname. Taizong was furious and forcibly placed Guan Longli's surname first. Despite this, it is not possible to change the conventional views and impressions in the hearts of the world for a while. Therefore, the three generations of the Tang Dynasty can only continue to marry the Dashi family to improve the image and status of the royal family surnamed Li in the eyes of the world. β
"I, the Fenyin Xue family, is one of the most valued marriage nobles of the royal family surnamed Li." Xue Ke stroked his beard and sighed leisurely, "Actually, in the eyes of those of us who are true nobles who attach importance to Confucianism and etiquette, the royal family surnamed Li, who grew up in the place where Guanlong, Han and Hu lived, is the world that they seized on horseback......"
Xue Kewei stopped halfway through speaking, after all, some words were taboo.
Xue Shao nodded to understand the sound of his words - it means that the people of the royal family surnamed Li still have a little bit of "Hu habits" and do not pay much attention to etiquette. Some of their behavior and habits are very crude and obscene in the eyes of many nobles who have inherited Confucianism for hundreds of years.
For example, Emperor Taizong's Xuanwumen Rebellion, killing his brother and forcing his father, this kind of thing is absolutely morally corrupt to the extreme in the eyes of the Confucian aristocracy; Li Shimin killed his own brother Li Yuanji, and then married his brother's wife, Concubine Yang, which was even more incestuous and incestful.
In addition, the people of the royal family surnamed Li were deeply affected by Hu Feng and seemed quite casual in the affairs of men and women, and it was not uncommon for mothers and daughters to serve a husband.
Therefore, many traditional aristocratic surnames think that the royal family surnamed Li is vulgar, barbaric and uneducated, and they are not willing to marry the royal family surnamed Li at all, but they can only submit to the imperial order. Moreover, most of Li Tang's princesses are arrogant and domineering, disrespectful of their in-laws, disregarding etiquette and law, and not abiding by family customs, not to mention guarding women's morals. Like Princess Gaoyang, there are lessons from stealing monks and participating in rebellion.
"Marrying a princess" is a good thing in the eyes of many people in all dynasties, but in the eyes of prominent nobles like the Xue family, it is a very aggrieved and timid.
Xue Kegou frowned tightly and whispered: "Chengyu, if you really become a concubine, you must be more restrained and careful in the future, especially to guard the door, don't get into trouble!" Isn't there a saying nowadays - marry a wife and get a princess, and buy an official mansion on the ground! β
The implication is that marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty is to put the official mansion at home, and you may get into trouble with the lawsuit at any time.
Xue Shao smiled indifferently disapprelicly, "Don't worry, Uncle Clan." If this brown marriage is really implemented, the little nephew dares to guarantee with his life - Princess Taiping is definitely different from other Tang princesses, she will definitely be a good daughter-in-law of the Xue family! β
Life guarantee?
Xue Kegou's eyes widened, stunned.
[On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish you a New Year's greeting! In the new year, everyone should be healthy, happy, and prosperous!! γ
