Wu Jie was depressed now, not only was he arrested by Uncle Li Guo as a coolie, but he was also sent an invitation post, and he broke a fortune in vain.

But his current position is low, although Jane is in the emperor's heart, but the people in Yanjing City who know his name are Huang Jin, Chen Hong and several cabinet members. Huang and Chen don't say anything, and the cabinet ministers don't seem to have a good impression of themselves.

Moreover, Wu Jie's discussion of Li Jin is too involved, so his name has always been a secret to people in the officialdom.

Li Li must not know about his Wu Jie.

This guy is a rammer, in real history, when Emperor Wanli succeeds to the throne, Concubine Li is in power. This guy and his father Li Wei can do anything dirty, and they dare to make any money, and they have set up a lot of stalls for Concubine Li. In the end, because he provoked Zhang Juzheng, he suffered a big loss.

Today's Li Li father and son have just been activated by the imperial court, and it is when the spring breeze is proud and evil, if you really provoke him, it will be boring.

Wu Jie knew the powerful relationship in this, and he didn't reveal his identity, so he smiled casually: "How can Wu Jie be invited by Lord Li to attend such an important banquet, it's an honor, an honor!" ”

After speaking, he didn't talk nonsense, and filled out an invitation note for himself, and attached a gift list worth three hundred taels of silver.

Forget it, today I was flying to Huang Jin to do something, and I have to find this old eunuch to report the account.

Seeing Wu Jie so generous, Li Li was very happy and said, "Refreshed!" "I also have a good impression of Wu Jie.

Wu Jie smiled, picked up the pen and continued to ask: "Lord Li, which ministers and doctors do you want to invite?" ”

"I'll read it, you can write it."

"Okay."

......"The first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Yan Song. ”

"Lord Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet."

"Cabinet ministers Zhang Juzheng and Yan Shifan can't run away."

Li Li thought for a while, and then said, "Li Chunfang's name also has to be obtained." ”

…… Wu Jie pretended to be surprised, and complimented: "Master Li is so wide-faced, even the ministers of the cabinet can be invited. ”

Li Li smiled proudly: "Of course, who are we, in this capital, who dares not to give face to my father and son, do you know who I am?" ”

Wu Jie: "Yes. ”

"It's good to know." Li Li proudly touched the beard on his chin, and had the intention to show off in front of Wu Jie: "My sister-in-law can't be invited, although it is a family, there can be no less courtesy." You write another please note to Yuwang. Of course, the prince said that he would definitely not be able to come, but the gift would definitely be delivered. With his old man's name, our Li family is also glorious in face. ”

It seems that this birthday banquet can get a lot of gifts, Li Li is in a good mood, and he has more words: "Life is rare for sixty years, when it is a big deal, my father is a person who likes to be lively, I have invited the capital Oiran Xiangyue to come over, haha, it must be a good story, I heard that Xiangyue will get five hundred taels of silver once he appears, but this money is not saved." ”

"Seventy years of life are rare." Lu Xuan, who had been reading a book next to him, interjected.

Li Li burst into anger: "You want to talk nonsense? ”

Lu Xuan buried his head in the book again.

Hearing Xiangyue's name, Wu Jie's heart moved, and he led the topic to this: "Five hundred taels, it's so expensive, is it necessary!" If you really want to be lively, it is better to invite a troupe, but it is also lively, and it doesn't cost so much. ”

The father and son of the Li family have a love for money in history, and they dare to accept any black money, and their appearance is notoriously ugly. Nothing on the wind, snow and moon, they don't catch a cold at all. But as long as you mention a copper word, your eyes will immediately glow.

Sure enough, hearing Wu Jie's words, Li Li sighed: "Who said it wasn't, but my father's birthday banquet was nominally to congratulate his old man, but in fact, it was mainly to use this excuse to let his sister go home to save her relatives." You also know that my sister-in-law is pregnant, that is, she will give birth to a dragon grandson in these two months, which is the future son of my Ming Dynasty. Once the sister gives birth to a dragon grandson, according to the rules of the palace, it is estimated that she will be established as a grandson. When the time comes, the mother is more expensive than the son, and my father and son are the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and when they meet, they have to meet according to the rules, and the sister can't go home easily. What kind of Oiran song does the girl like to listen to the most.,It's probably because of too much reading.。 Therefore, she can only invite Xiangyue back to her house according to her wishes. ”

He continued: "Actually, it's a good idea to invite a troupe, and it doesn't cost much money, and it's the most festive." But my sister likes the tone of your literati, so what can I do as a brother? ”

Li Li was a little indignant: "One Xiangyue, five hundred taels for a show, just to sing two tunes, I don't believe that her voice is made of gold?" ”

Li Li's words were so cheesy that they were outrageous, but Wu Jie smiled and echoed: "That's the truth, but Wu Jie has a way to let Master Li not spend a penny." Not only that, in addition to Xiangyue, you can also invite a few other Qing people in the capital who are not only names. Do you think, Concubine Li is so happy to invite just one Xiangyue, if she can invite a few more, wouldn't she be even more happy? ”

Li Li's eyes lit up: "Can you invite other people, all of them are Oiran-level?" ”

After getting Wu Jie's affirmative answer, Li Li: "Say it quickly, as long as you don't spend a penny, you can do it." ”

This person was so stingy that even Wu Jie despised him a little: "There is a way, Master Li, didn't there be another Oiran called Caiyun before Xiangyue?" I know that Caiyun knows each other, and I am willing to persuade her not to go to your house for a tael of silver to celebrate Old Man Li's birthday. However, I have to ask you to let out a rumor, just say that Concubine Li has always liked Caiyun's voice and pipa, and thinks she is the real Oiran. He also said that if the other Qing people were not satisfied, they could come to Li's house to perform, and only when they got the joy of Concubine Li could they be regarded as a real Oiran, and no one else said it. In this way, not only other people, but if Na Xiangyue wants to keep her title of Oiran, even if she doesn't have a penny, she will come over. ”

Li Li slapped his thigh: "This idea is good, our Li family is like this, ordinary people want to enter our house to perform, even if they are holding silver, I may not be willing to let them in, yes, just do it, I will let the news out immediately." If that Xiangyun doesn't come, it's a fake Oiran! Wu Jie, you immediately write a post to that Caiyun and ask her to go to my Li Mansion to perform the day after tomorrow. ”

After Li Li's resignation, Wu Jie handed over the Li family's invitation to write a Huang Jin.

Old Eunuch Huang took the post: "Wu Jie, this Li family father and son are really difficult, I won't go, and when the time comes, I will ask someone to bring the gift." ”

Wu Jie: "I'm going, I'll give you half a difference, but I have to pay out of my own pocket, unlucky!" ”

Huang Jin: "I'll come out of your share, and I guess no one else will go at that time." "The internal and external ministers have noble status, if they go to Li Wei's birthday, there will be some drops, and it is estimated that they will bring a gift like Huang Jin.

After Wu Jie came down, he wrote a letter to Caiyun, which said: "This is a good opportunity, don't miss it." ”

This is both your chance and mine's. can help Caiyun regain the position of Oiran, and Wu Jie's poems will surely move the capital.
