Sun Kehong, who is also from Huating, is not an unknown person. His father is Sun Chengen, who once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and has already stood at the door of the cabinet. Although Sun Chengen did not enter the cabinet in the end, he got a proud protégé - Li Chunfang in the 21st year of Jiajing's Ministry of Rites. From this level of relationship, Sun Kehong and Li Chunfang are real brothers and have an unusually close relationship.

Sun Kehong's own education is not high, and he studied in the shadow of his father, and was the prefect of Hanyang at the time. For officials and students, this official position is already considered very high. However, he was not satisfied, and wanted to borrow Li Chunfang's power to go to the next level, but he was inexplicably involved in the case of Gao Gong's anti-Xu, which was said to be reinstated for the activities of his fellow villager Xu Jie, and by the way, he sought the position of Yun Division.

In the old historical time and space, Sun Kehong caused this trouble when he went to Beijing to find Li Chunfang to run for office. However, because of Xu Yuanzuo's arrival, Li Chunfang wants to participate in the compilation of the "Ancient Training Collection" and send it to the official in advance, so it is not inevitable that Sun Kehong will send someone to Beijing now.

In the Ming Dynasty's court struggle, it is often "small crimes" that are easier to bring down the big guys. Thinking that when he was strict, the imperial history Zou Yinglong's thousands of words of "Greedy Yin Ministers Bullying the Monarch and the Country" only forced Yan Song to be a scholar. However, Xu Jie's casual change of "collusion with the Japanese invaders" made Yan Shifan's head fall to the ground and his family property confiscated.

Similarly, in the original historical time and space, it was a big crime for the slaves of the Xu Mansion to "steal the pigment silver transferred from the Mansion", but what really caused a great shock to the Xu Mansion was Sun Kehong's running for the official - it was no longer hopeful for the official to go to the prefect, and he wanted to "drill through the sky". This is the war of the entire Jinshi class against non-mainstream officials.

If Sun Kehong didn't send someone to run for office, then Gu Shao's matter of suing the servants of the Xu Mansion would be a big deal.

Xu Yuanzuo said goodbye to Xu Cheng, on the surface, he seemed to be confident, but in his heart he couldn't help but think: Should the anti-Xu project be promoted to explode on a large scale as in the old historical script?

If it breaks out, it will be of great benefit to Xu Jie's official reputation, but the Xu family's industry will be hit hard. Cai Guoxi has been discredited. But there will never be a shortage of people who will inherit the will. However, as long as he is still on the ship of the Xu Group, such a big case breaks out, which is just the right way to show his strength. Not only did Xu Jie have to accept his affection, but it was also an opportunity to be promoted from a wage earner to a partner.

The key is whether the price of this promotion is too great.

Xu Yuanzuo sat on his shoulder, and before he knew it, he had arrived home. There was a bamboo and wood shoulder at the door, and two Lifu sat in the shade and gossiped. Xu Yuanzuo took a look. Fortune went over and inquired. After a while, Qi Miao came back and reported: "Someone came to talk to my aunt." ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed, with complicated feelings. He also hopes that his sister can marry a good family, but it is really difficult to measure the standard of "good family" in this era. Because a simple person only needs to look at the husband's family's reputation, wealth, and power...... But Xu Yuanzuo hopes that his sister can marry someone who can say it, so that she will not be objectified as a tool after marriage.

When I entered the door, I happened to see an old woman sent out by my family. The old woman was obviously the mother-in-law in charge of a large family, and she had a somewhat calm bearing, which was very different from the old pious woman who walked the streets and alleys outside. Xu Yuanzuo reacted when he arrived, it should be the man who came to ask for marriage. Otherwise, you won't go through the main entrance.

"This must be Xu Xianggong." When the old woman saw Xu Yuanzuo coming, she hurriedly stepped aside, bowed down and said, "Good luck to the princess." ”

Xu Yuanzuo stood still and asked, "Whose house is my mother-in-law?" ”

The old woman smiled: "The old man is from the Duan family under the East Gate Bridge in the county town, and he is ordered by my grandmother to come to the family business." She knew Xu Yuanzuo's status, and said respectfully: "My father-in-law is still Xu Xianggong's classmate, and he is also a student of this county. ”

Xu Yuanzuo listened to the home of the living. The basic conditions are satisfied. Although Shengyuan was only the first stop on the road to the imperial examination, he was already a member of the ruling class. Of course. The future still depends on age. Xu Yuanzuo asked: "I don't go to school much on weekdays, how do you call your family's Duan Xiang's official name?" ”

The old woman said: "My family is a public scholar, and the word ring." ”

Xu Yuanzuo searched in his mind, but he was a little impressed, not good or bad, and said, "It's hard for my mother-in-law to take a trip." While instructing the chess master to reward. Chess Miao came over and offered a lot of money. said: "Please have tea for my mother-in-law." The old woman smiled happily, but not pretentiously.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't go back to the house to freshen up, and went directly to find his mother. In any case, this is also a major event in the family, so I can't help but ask, and I have to listen to my mother's opinion. I thought about it. He also asked Qi Miao to find Mei Chenggong and inquire about Duan Xingxue's reputation in the school and the neighborhood.

Mother Xu was also quite excited when she saw her son coming back, and without waiting for Xu Yuanzuo to ask, she said: "The Xianggong's house that came today is also the thread that Ma Pozi has worked hard to wear. Xu Yuanzuo said secretly: Those old pious women all said so. Mother Xu was obviously very satisfied with the Duan family, and continued: "That Duan Xianggong is twenty years old, his parents died, and he relies on his sister and brother-in-law to provide him with education and education. ”

When Xu Yuanzuo heard this, he was quite satisfied: "The age matches my sister." ”

"Exactly. It's a pity that they are unblessed. Mother Xu was obviously a little entangled in the death of Duan Xingxue's parents.

Xu Yuanzuo is very open on this, and said: "Although it is not blessed, my sister is the lady in charge of the family after she enters, and she doesn't need to look at her aunt's face, which can be regarded as having advantages and disadvantages." ”

Mother Xu felt sorry for her daughter after all, and when she saw her son say this, she sighed: "Son, this is what you don't understand." How can your sister's temperament overpower a man? If there is no pressure from my aunt, how can I live if the Xianggong School is broken? Young people are not qualitative, your father was also a talent back then, and he was motivated...... The result? It's the loss of parental education! ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Mother don't worry about this. I'm still here, he dares to make my sister unhappy for a while, and I'll call him unhappy for the rest of his life. ”

There was a strange sound behind the screen in Xu's mother's house, Xu Yuanzuo's ears were sharp, his eyes drifted away, and he had already seen his sister's figure, and he didn't think so, but he didn't expose her. Mother Xu was also a little embarrassed, but when she saw that her son didn't say anything, she just didn't find out, and said, "If that's the case, I'm even more worried." Back then, your uncle was also bent on helping me out, but the result was ...... On the contrary, it made the two families unhappy. ”

-- It's really the water spilled by the married daughter, and she doesn't care about her basic position!

Xu Yuanzuo coughed dryly and said, "I have already sent someone to inquire about the roots of Duan Xingxue." If he has a good reputation now, it can be seen that his sister is acting as a mother and is quite educated. In the future, his mother only needs to communicate with his sister more and communicate news, and she will be fine. As for helping his sister get ahead, his son is measured. ”

Xu Mu was relieved and said, "It's just this layer." His brother-in-law is still an official, but he heard that he is not in good health. Another son is still young...... But this kind of thing doesn't matter, when you get married, it's all your own family, and we can also help. ”

There was another strange noise behind the screen, apparently my sister kicked something in a panic.

Mother Xu coughed dryly and said, "What are your plans for your sister's lifelong event?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "I am just this one sister, and I have taken care of me since I was a child, how can I not have a plan." Do you want to hear it now? ”

Mother Xu felt a little embarrassed. In the past two years, Xu Yuanzuo has given a lot of household use to his family. Every month, it is more than a few hundred taels and a little less than a hundred and ten taels. The reason why Xu Yuanzuo refused to give more was because he found that his mother had stored all the silver in a wooden box. Proper savings is to get by, excessive savings is waste, simply have something to do with more money, and only give pocket money on weekdays. And according to Jiangnan customs, women's dowries are all purchased by their parents, how can a younger brother pay? Under the authority of the parents. My brother can't be rich.

But this time, I'm going to get married!

Mother Xu is a person who has come over, and if the dowry is not enough, the voice at home is not loud. She brought a lot of dowry to marry into the Xu family back then. This is also the main reason why she feels that her waist is hard.

Xu Yuanzuo was hindered by the socio-economic system and technical conditions, and most of the silver on hand was in a state of "waste". He said: "I also put two hundred acres of land under the name of Liangzuo, just outside the county town, all of which are good paddy fields, which can be allocated to my sister to make a rouge field." Mother Xu was about to speak, but Xu Yuanzuo had already continued: "Give my sister another hundred taels of gold." a thousand taels of silver, and a thousand pieces of silk. It shouldn't be too shabby. ”

The screen slammed to the ground.

"Too many!" Sister Xu's face was flushed, and she was at a loss: "Where do you need so much dowry!" ”

"The makeup is richer, and it is convenient for you to talk at your in-laws' house." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Sister Xu sat down next to her mother and said, "Mother." It's up to you. When a daughter gets married, how can she take her brother's assets? ”

Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "Gold and silver wealth are at my fingertips. As for Ryosa, hehe, what does he know? As long as he studies hard, how can he be missing in the future? Sister, don't shirk. ”

Mother Xu also felt that taking out such a large amount of assets was cheaper for outsiders, and said: "This is indeed too much, and your sister is a person who has no idea, and she doesn't leak a leak in her hand?" ”

"As long as his family treats his sister well, not to mention the makeup, I will not be stingy in the coming and going in the future." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Xu Wenjing's nose was sour, and she quietly turned her face away and pressed away her tears.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Sister, our family is not short of silver, and you don't have to take it too seriously." Although you handed me a stick when my mother beat me, I didn't hold a grudge against you. ”

Xu Wenjing burst into tears and laughed, and said, "I should have beaten you with my mother that day, so that you can laugh at me now." ”

Xu Yuanzuo laughed, and suddenly a nerve was pulled hard, and his whole face froze.

Xu Yuanzuo has always had a feeling of fantasy and game for a long time, and at the moment just now, he suddenly found that he was "Xu Yuanzuo", and the scenery achievements in his previous life were like a dream bubble. He has family, affection, happiness and troubles here.

Perhaps, the ties of the past life should not be a reason for oneself to reject this world.

"Son, don't be scared of your mother!" Mother Xu was startled when she saw Xu Yuanzuo's sudden "hysteria", and she was about to reach out and pinch Xu Yuanzuo's middle man.

Xu Yuanzuo woke up at the right time, hid backwards, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I thought of some business just now." By the way, why haven't you seen your father for the past two days? ”

"Who knows where he's playing!" Mother Xu said angrily: "The family is rich, so he goes out all day long." If he doesn't give him money, he will take what he has from his house and sell it. Isn't that even the loss of your people? I had to give him some money, but he probably threw it all away in the gambling stall. ”

Xu Yuanzuo really bought some practical utensils that could be heirlooms at home. Not to mention the famous kilns and craftsmen in Jingdezhen, even the tables, chairs and benches are all made of fine hardwood. As for the various ornaments in the study and the four treasures of the study, not to mention the future generations, even if they are worth a little silver at the moment. This is also Xu Yuanzuo's investment, waiting for appreciation. If you ask your father to take it out and sell it cheaply, it will not only have a bad reputation, but also ruin the heavens.

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Silver is not in the way, but gambling is really a bottomless pit, and it is indeed very inappropriate." ”

Mother Xu's face was scorched: "I have quarreled and quarreled, and I have been beaten, but I can't change it, this is really unladylike." She immediately thought of her two sons, and said, "Fortunately, you two brothers are quite sensible." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled, and was thinking about how to end the topic and go back to do his own thing, when he heard footsteps outside. From the sound of heavy footsteps, you can hear that the master is weak, isn't Xu He who it is?

Xu He pushed the door and came in, and saw that the eldest daughter and eldest son were all in the house, and his face was obviously stunned.

"Father." Xu Yuanzuo and Xu Wenjing stood up to salute.

"Okay, okay." Xu He laughed dryly: "It's all there." ”

"Lost it all?" Mother Xu gritted her teeth and said.

Xu Yuanzuo gave up his position and stepped aside to prepare to watch the play.

"No ......" Xu He instinctively denied it, and immediately realized that he couldn't hide it, so he said embarrassedly: "There is not much ...... left"

"Not much left? That's all that's left is a piece of clothing! Mother Xu has already entered a state of quarrel, and she doesn't mind that her children are on the side.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at his sister and said secretly in his heart: Are there any snacks such as melon seeds, fried beans, and dried fragrant beans?

Xu Wenjing wrinkled her nose, her chest itching and she wanted to scratch it hard.

"I just lost nothing!"

"How could you have nothing?" Xu Mu sneered: "Don't you still have the face to come back!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo almost laughed, seeing that his sister had a big posture of beating him if he didn't want a dowry, he hurriedly coughed twice and turned his face away.

Xu He suddenly had a seizure: "I'm still the head of the family, can't I make money!" He also lost his dignity in front of his son, and his heart was burning with evil.

Xu Yuanzuo saw that his father was really going to run away, he knew the truth of the trapped beast fighting, and he also knew that people who were contaminated with pornography, gambling and drugs were irrational to talk about, so he rushed before his mother and said: "Father, it's the son who is wrong!" ”

Everyone looked at Xu Yuanzuo, all surprised.

The strong smell of gunpowder filled the room suddenly dispersed.

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Now that the family is well-off, how can my father's money be so tight?" Father, I will take you to the account office of Renjutang, and in the future, you will only need to use the money, just pay from the bank. ”

Xu He was stunned: "You, what are you doing?" ”

"Honor your father." Xu Yuanzuo said with a natural face: "Three or five hundred taels of silver a day can be supported without worry, it will not get in the way." ”

Xu He's throat rolled, and it took a long time before he spit out three words: "Don't pay it back?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo's heart sank: This unlucky dad won't go to borrow loan sharks, right?
