Zhang Sanye and Li Siye, the two giants of the Li family's slave world, couldn't sleep after being tossed, so they went to the gatehouse to eat and chat, waiting for dawn.

"What do you mean by three-legged?" Li Si asked.

Zhang San took a bite of jerky and said proudly: "These days, with the old man running around, it has grown a lot... In the words of the old man, it is called IQ. ”

"Phew!" Li Si spat and said: "In addition to the kindness of the old man and the shit luck to get back a flower-like concubine, I don't see you have any more brains." ”

Zhang San smiled, "Listen to me." Speaking of the general trend of the world, there is a point in the combination, and there is a combination in the division, the backyard of the master, such as today, the location is favorable and the people stand together. ”

"Mrs. Liu is the first in the main house, the first in the backyard, and has the best background. Although there is no birth and no morality, the official position of the master is from the Liu family, and the kindness and righteousness are unbreakable. This is comparable to the time of day. ”

"Aunt Jin is the eldest sister of the Li family next door, and the two are like sisters, which can be regarded as one room. This house is from the lowest background, and it is difficult to give birth to and raise, but it is good in appearance, good at welcome, interesting, and the most pleasing to the lord at present. This is comparable to the geographical advantage. ”

"Aunt Guan is the most favorite of the master mother and the old man, and she is treated as a daughter, and now the Li family has fallen on her again. This is comparable to human. ”

"In the end, as the saying goes, the time is not as good as the place, and the location is not as good as the people." Zhang San shook his head and ended his argument.

"And then?" Li Si continued to ask, "What's the use of what you said about a few paragraphs?" ”

Zhang San, who asked, was a little stammered, "This... It seems useless, it doesn't matter which room you and I have, just listen to the master. ”

"So it's just empty talk, you better don't have a brain, just eat and drink!" Li Si sneered.

It is said that Guan Xiuxiu learned that she was diagnosed with pregnancy, and her heart was swept away, and suddenly Yuyu Chengming and Haiqing Heyan. I saw her sitting firmly at the head of the bed, her face was slightly red, her mind was fluttering, her hands gently caressed her lower abdomen, and her bright eyes reflected all kinds of joy in the candlelight.

This scene is very beautiful, and the atmosphere is beautiful, but it is a little difficult to watch it for half an hour.

It's already three watches, Li You sat on the chair, couldn't help yawning, moved his stiff body, and asked, "Sister Xiu'er, rest in peace?" ”

Guan Xiuxiu nodded obediently and lay down with her clothes.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, the news spread, and the women in the house went up to Mrs. Liu to the servants and maids, and they all gathered in Aunt Guan's room to say hello, after all, this will be the first child of the master (only Li You himself knows that it should be the second). Even Li's mother, Zhu, rushed back from her brother's house.

Mei Zhi secretly touched his stomach and sighed, how could his belly not be as good as others'.

She saw Liu Niangzi sitting next to Aunt Guan, writing the word "Hello", and suddenly a thought popped up, if Guan Xiuxiu gave birth to a son, should she persuade Liu Niangzi to take back the big house to raise? Immediately suppressed this thought again, the heart of the Tao can't be a man without conscience, he will be retributed.

Li You was noisy, so he went to the front to arrange the move. In fact, what he needs to do most is just to borrow a boat, and for this matter, there are also people who take the name card to run errands.

This time, there is no shortage of movers, and the Liu Mansion of the Yue family has been neglected a lot since Lao Taishan became a monk, and some servants have switched to serve here. The mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, did not object, and the left and right were fertile and water-free fields. And for Li You, these people are more reliable than those bought from outside.

Because the fight with Sister Li Mei last night was too tragic, Master Li really didn't have any interest in this aspect today, so he stayed at Liu's place in the big house with little desire.

Mrs. Liu wrote a few words to her husband, "The concubine is afraid of leaving her hometown..."

Li You couldn't laugh when he saw it, this is too exaggerated, it's just that he moved from the county seat to Fucheng, can he be described as uprooted, it is like going to the ends of the earth.

Mrs. Liu wrote some words again, "I can't bear my in-laws, parents, uncles and aunts, and girlfriends..."

Li Youyi, he somewhat ignored the concept that the homeland is inseparable in this era, it is not a hometown place, even if it is prosperous, it will make people feel a little lonely. Wen Yan soothed: "Okay, the house here is also there, and someone will be left to guard and clean it." The city over there is not far away, and you can go back to Xujiang at any time. Besides, one day when the husband is no longer an official, he has to come back together. ”

After two days like this, the three wives and concubines of the Li family, together with more than 20 male and female servants and maidservants, set off on the fourth watch with soft clothes and a number of cages, and took six ships of various colors to the city.

Unfortunately, we encountered a waterway jam in Changmen. The city of Suzhou traditionally has eight gates, six of which are still open, and the others are fine, only the gate connecting the canal and the direction of Tiger Hill is often blocked. In this regard, the old man Qipin also had no temper, and he did not enter his new home until the sun set in the west in the afternoon.

Each finds its own room, each has its own house, and the house is very busy for a while. Mr. Li sat down in the hall to drink tea, and by the way, he admired the painting couplets hanging on the wall, which was made by the contemporary famous artist Yang Congjian, with a market price of 80 taels of silver.

After drinking tea, Li You thought, it's time to ask Mr. Huang for dinner, and then said that it is the hospital test and retest, don't be accidentally hit by Chen Xundao and ruin that big thing.

However, when he wanted Cao Ying, he saw Zhang San leading Master Huang in.

"I don't see it, Master Li's demeanor is still the same, don't come unharmed." Master Huang bowed his hand and said.

Listening to his yin and yang weirdness, Li You smiled secretly. He didn't say anything that night, it was Mr. Huang Huang who made a big gift as if he didn't want money, I don't know how many bows, and now he can't hang up on his face, who is to blame? He returned the salute and said: "The old gentleman is coming, and he is disrespectful, disrespectful, and disrespectful." ”

Master Huang had a suspicion in his heart, and he was impatient to play tricks with Li You, and asked directly, "How did you get up with the Great Grandmaster?" As far as I know, you have nothing to do with each other. ”

When Li You was in Xujiang, he had already learned that the five people he arranged, including his nephew and grandson, were all Chinese, and he also understood that Master Huang would definitely ask about the situation. From the beginning, he didn't want to hide from Master Huang and Chen Xundao.

"Actually, I was lucky that Mr. Cui came forward to do it." Li You understated.

Master Huang's first reaction was, doesn't Supervisor Cui have a grudge against you? But he is also old and sophisticated, and after a little thought in his heart, he roughly figured out that it might be that Cui Jiansheng had somewhere to ask Li You.

The key is that Cui Jiansheng is just a scholar and a subordinate official temporarily hired by the old man of the school official, and he will leave after a year at most. What is the ability to say that the student officer recorded five people according to the list in one go? Also, the scholar was locked in the Gongyuan, how did he communicate with the inside and outside in front of everyone's eyes?

Li You was unfathomable and said: "Actually, it wasn't Cui Jiansheng who asked for me, but the great grandmaster who asked for me. This, haha, is not enough for outsiders also. ”

Mr. Huang snorted coldly, "Later, Chen Xundao presided over the retest, do you think Chen Xundao will also ask you?" ”

"It's just a joke, please listen to the old gentleman. After the grand master finished this academic platform, that is, he was going to take the Jiangnan Township Examination in August. Therefore, it will be useless to clear the name in the future; So, I thought about getting a little bit affordable; However, Shi Shenzheng's reputation is too upright; So, he was a little worried about this; So, Mr. Cui found a place to share his worries. ”

Master Huang suddenly brightened up, and suddenly said, "I see! ”

At this point, many doubts were swept away, and he completely figured out the key -- this old man of Xuetai was about to retire, and he intended to make a little money in his last office, but Shi Shenzheng suddenly came forward to supervise the provisional examination, and he would also supervise the township examination.

There is such a person who has always been upright and responsible for invigilating, grinding the test papers and re-exams, which makes it very difficult for the boss of the school station, for fear of finding out the mistakes, such as the person who received the money to record the re-examination is not enough to be brushed down.

Then somehow the old man of Xuetai contacted Master Li... As for the minutiae in the back, Master Huang feels that it doesn't matter if he knows it or not, Li You can't even figure out this trick, then it's not Li You.

In detail, it was actually Cui Jiansheng, who was a subordinate official, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, and was aware of the mind of the old man of Xuetai, and took the initiative to act as a middleman to collude with Li You while he was out of activities (his task was originally to solicit business outside).

At that time, Li Tuiguan had just been slapped in the face by Shi Dashen, and the errand of the promotion officer was dismissed. Cui Jiansheng heard about this, and at the same time, he also had a deep understanding of Li You's broad-mindedness and loyalty, and then out of trust in Li You's ability, he found Li You to conspire.

Why did Cui Jiansheng dare to find him after being rectified twice by Master Li? Aren't you afraid that Master Li has old grudges in his heart?

First, he thinks that Li You has won him twice, and as a winner, there is no reason to hate a loser?

Second, the first time is not to fight and not to know each other, which is not much hatred; The second time was that each was his own master, and there was no personal grudge involved, and he did not do anything to offend people.

Third, this time the interests are the same, everyone sees that Shi Shenzheng is not pleasing to the eye, and Li You's brain cramps will let Shi Shenzheng go and target him, a harmless Mr. Cui.

On the other hand, doesn't Cui Jiansheng hate Li You? It can only be said that the poor prisoner who is still looking for a job is very self-aware, and he really has no right to hate Master Li, who has climbed to the seventh rank of real power.

This is also the sadness of aspiring little people, even if they are insulted, they have to laugh together. Just like when the little official Li You was beaten by Chen Zhixian for fifteen years, he had to ask the eldest master to play well, was he qualified to hate Chen Zhixian at that time?

Gossip aside, Mr. Cui's initiative to show favor to Li Tuiguan is no less than a big pie falling from the sky, full of good luck. In the end, the old man promised that as long as Li You could drive Shi Shenzheng out of the examination room, he would be admitted to five places in the current department. In the future, if Shi Shenzheng can be driven out of the township examination room, the benefits will be counted separately.

As for how to communicate secretly inside and outside the Gongyuan... Don't forget that Li You's father led a group of Xujiang County miscellaneous servants and was sent to serve in the Gongyuan.

Therefore, Lord Li desperately stepped on Shi Shenzheng's face to the ground, which was not entirely a vent of personal anger. In other words, why not take care of both public and private interests.

After saying the inside story, Li You begged Master Huang: "This matter is very confidential, I don't dare to divulge it lightly, I have hidden it for a long time, and I also ask Mr. Huang and Chen Xundao to understand, it is not that I am acting without authorization behind my back." Later, he said that the re-examination raised his noble hand, don't check too harshly, just loosen it a little, those people are not completely unlearned, this can be assured. ”

"You..." Master Huang sighed and left.

When Mr. Huang returned to Chen Xundao, he only heard Lord Chen say worriedly: "Li Tuiguan is really difficult to change, and he is too good at taking advantage of the situation, and he is often surprised and dangerous and makes waves." If you ask him to read more and don't read, you still have to find a way to force him to study and raise his surname. ”

Master Huang thought, this is the surname of heaven, and it may not be useful to read the saint's classics badly, but it would be good if he could polish it a little.
