Gong Shun Hou Wu Weiying recently did a very shameless thing. Especially for him, who has both face and face, it is particularly painful.

Ten days ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the palace feast, those royal relatives and nobles gathered together. Not long after the banquet began, the emperor withdrew from the banquet as usual. weishenme？ Of course, it's because it's a feast, and if the emperor is there, the atmosphere of the banquet will be a little dull, and the emperor doesn't want to be the one who adds to the blockage. Not to mention that the current Emperor of the Apocalypse has to seize the time to engage in his own hobbies (that is, to be a carpenter). After the emperor left, he left his own great eunuch Wei Zhongxian as the host of the banquet.

Don't say it, Wei Zhongxian is indeed a good person, and he quickly adjusted the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax. But Wu Weizhong had no intention of entertaining, he came to this banquet with a purpose. Wu Weizhong's children gradually grew up and slowly had to start a family. But there is only so much of the Wu family's industry. The property of the public cannot be moved, and the property left to the son of the world can only be more than the previous generation, otherwise he will not become a loser? In addition, the assistance of the side relatives in the clan, the exchange of favors, and the support of pro-soldiers, Qingke, and theater troupes, all of which cost money.

Wu Weizhong used to be relatively upright due to the mentality of the literati, and basically had no contact with Wei Zhongxian. But although he was rich, his sons were basically idle at home. At home, there are fewer items in and more items in the house. Even the prince Wu Shixun, a jinshi, could neither be released to be a magistrate because of his identity, nor could he be a key post in the capital, so he could only sit on a cold bench in Qingshui's yamen of the Ministry of Rites. If you are poor, you will think about change, and Wu Weizhong also wants to have a relationship with Wei Zhongxian.

You know, there are hundreds of nobles in the capital, not counting in Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for more than 200 years, and these noble families have also expanded rapidly, and their reproductive speed can be comparable to the reproduction of mice. There are so many official positions suitable for the sons and daughters of the nobles, so whoever has influence in front of the emperor can solve their problems, among them, the big eunuch around the emperor is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, not to mention Wei Zhongxian, who can basically make decisions on behalf of the emperor. But in normal days, he wanted to find Wei Zhongxian, and Wu Weizhong estimated that he didn't have any chance, so taking advantage of this banquet, Wu Weizhong wanted to give up his face and beg Wei Zhongxian to give his son a few official positions, even if he could solve one.

But around Wei Zhongxian's imperial relatives and Xun Guila's relationship, there are indeed a lot of people who are entrusted with things, and it is estimated that there are many people who have the same idea as Wu Weizhong. Wu Weizhong finally took a gap and came to Wei Zhongxian's side. At that time, Wei Zhongxian was talking to Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, a close confidant of his nobles, and he felt sorry for his parents all over the world, and Wu Weizhong didn't care, so he interjected very impolitely and joined the conversation. After saying some words and complimenting Wei Zhongxian, Wu Weizhong asked Wei Zhongxian for his request.

was already a little unhappy by Wu Weizhong's interjection, and Wei Zhongxian was not a fool, Wu Weizhong looked down on himself for his coldness in the past, and he didn't know it, so he instinctively wanted to perfunctory him, so he politely rejected him. But suddenly, after thinking about it carefully, Wei Zhongxian had a good idea.

Before talking to Wu Weizhong, Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, was pouring bitter water with Wei Zhongxian. It turned out that Xue Lian's family Ding Buwang had no son except for a daughter who had just reached adulthood. And Xue Lian didn't want to have a stepson in the clan, so he wanted to ask Wei Zhongxian to find a son-in-law to join his family. But only the Xungui family is right, which family will give up face to send a son out? Xue Lian is worried about this. So I want Wei Zhongxian to come up with an idea to help. Does this pose a problem for Wei Zhongxian? The marriages that are right are only those royal relatives and noble families, but who will give their good children to the temple? Even if there are a few crooked jujubes and cracked melons, Xue Lian will definitely not want them. Marriage, that is a happy event, it is impossible to rob relatives, or you can use Dongchang and Jinyiwei. And in those official eunuch families, it is even more impossible, and Wei Zhongxian does not have such a big face. Of course, Xue Lian also knew that this matter was embarrassing for Wei Zhongxian, so on the one hand, he asked for help to have a family affair with Wei Zhongxian, and pour bitter water to vent it; On the other hand, it is nothing more than a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Unexpectedly, Wu Weizhong came out at this time, isn't this a sleepy pillow? Wei Zhongxian readily agreed to Wu Weizhong's matter, but made a request to Wu Weizhong - to sacrifice a son to join the Xue family. This requirement made Wu Weizhong very difficult. Everyone is a marquis, let my son be rich, can't I afford to raise my own son? If you agree to be in the noble circle, you will become a joke again, how can this work? Now for Wei Zhongxian, the ball was kicked to Wu Weizhong's side. He wasn't in a hurry anyway, he was purely disgusted with Wu Weizhong's thoughts. Wu Weizhong agreed, and he lost face, anyway, giving a few inconsequential petty official positions was also a gesture for Wei Zhongxian, and both parties had to be grateful to him, although Wu Weizhong had a bit of a taste of necessity; If he didn't agree, he could be regarded as giving Xue Lian and Wu Weizhong an explanation. Let Xue Lian understand that he has done his best, and win the hearts of his cronies. also made Wu Weizhong retreat in the face of difficulties, anyway, he didn't agree.

But Xue Lian's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he was in a hurry. Don't say it, aside from Wei Zhongxian's careful thinking, this idea is still quite good. The door is right, even if Wu Weizhong gives him a concubine, the identities of both parties to the marriage are reasonable. Wu Weizhong has many sons anyway, and it doesn't matter if there is one less. Especially Wu Weizhong can raise it, and his son's education is also good, from the perspective of genetics, such a ...... "**" that is cultivated both inside and outside can be described as a masterpiece, and Xue Lian will of course refuse to let go if he has the opportunity. Judging from this incident, Wei Zhongxian's casual idea is so clever that it is simply lamentable that as long as the people in power described in the history books are not fuel-efficient lamps, whether they have been famous for centuries or have been stinking for thousands of years.

Xue Lian showed great enthusiasm and constantly promised to personally solve the work problems of his three sons for Wu Weizhong. The nobles who gathered around to listen to the excitement also helped to persuade. Weishenme is so enthusiastic? The main thing is to send Wu Weizhong away quickly, and they are also anxious to chat with Wei Zhongxian. However, seeing that Wu Weizhong had been hesitating, Wei Zhongxian was a little impatient. He said a few words with a sharp edge, revealing that if Wu Weizhong didn't agree, don't ask Wei Zhongxian for anything in the future. After the stick was finished, he took out two carrots, one was to transfer Wu Weizhong's son Wu Shixun from the cold bench of the Ministry of Rites to an oil and water department, and the other was to give Wu Weizhong's son Yulin Wei Qianhu the honor of Jinyi Wei Baihu. In other words, the son-in-law does not have a son now, and the two sons have already found jobs. Of course, the eldest son inherited the title of Marquis of Xue Lianyang, and there was a son who could inherit the position of Jinyi Wei Baihu, and he would be hereditary.

This carrot finally became the zuihou two carrots that overwhelmed the camel. Wu Weizhong finally agreed. As a result, Wu Shigong was grandly launched. Striking while the iron was hot, Xue Lian simplified and compacted the pre-marital procedures of Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng and asking for appointments, and set the date of the wedding, that is, the big wedding, on the second day of the first month of June, for fear that Wu Weizhong would regret it. What happened after that was that Wu Shigong was shocked and resisted when he got the news, but he was forced to stay in the house and sulk because of the many years of power at home. After that, he was ridiculed in the country prison and fought angrily, but he was beaten when he was too bad in the fight, and he was kicked in the head and fell into a coma. After being crossed and so on.

It should be said that Wu Weizhong not only felt a little embarrassed afterwards, but also faintly felt a little guilty about Wu Shigong. Although Wu Shigong didn't say anything about Wu Weizhong's arrangement, his unhappiness could even be seen by the blind. Although Wu Weizhong's attitude towards Wu Shigong for so many years has basically been blank and indifferent, it is not objective to raise Wu Shigong so big, saying that there is no father-son relationship between the two of them. Especially after Wu Shigong was injured, the guilt in Wu Weizhong's heart became even heavier.

Wu Weizhong was still very happy to get the news from the maid embroidered bamboo and know that Wu Shigong had woken up from a coma. But in order to prevent embarrassment, Wu Weizhong still called his son, Wu Shigong's eldest brother Wu Shixun, and accompanied him to visit Wu Shigong and care for and comfort Wu Shigong.

But as soon as he entered Wu Shigong's house, he saw Wu Shigong and his maid rolling on the bed, which made Wu Weizhong simply angry, and sighed that the mud couldn't support the wall after all. The guilt in my heart also disappeared at once. Seeing that Wu Weizhong's face was a little wrong, the eldest brother Wu Shixun hurriedly diverted the topic, leaned down slightly, and asked kindly: "Fourteenth brother, are you healthy?" ”

His words made Wu Shigong's teeth sour, it was too awkward. Wu Shigong hurriedly gave a salute and replied: "The younger brother's body is basically fine, but his head still hurts a little. ”

"It's okay." Wu Shixun's attitude was still cordial, and then he paused for a moment to contemplate and comforted: "Although your marriage is detrimental to your reputation, as long as the husband and wife are harmonious, they can be happy." ”

In fact, there is no need to comfort at all, the current Wu Shigong is not disgusted with this marriage at all. But the attitude that should be there also needs to be expressed: "The little brother has already figured it out, sacrifice me and make my whole family happy." The Wu family's Lei Feng suddenly appeared.

After listening to Wu Shigong's answer, Wu Weizhong's face also eased, it was good that this kid could figure it out. Indeed, Wu Shigong's child was sacrificed for the Wu family. So Wu Weizhong also said to Wu Shigong: "In the past two days, you can recuperate at home with peace of mind, and don't go to the Guozijian, the Guozijian has promised to let you quit your job." ”

Listening to his father's words, Wu Shigong was stunned. Out of business? Then I realized that at that time, graduation meant graduation. You said that you will graduate if you want to graduate, what do you do when you change it to a job? Wu Shigong didn't know, his complaint was very boring, from the perspective of the historical process, it was precisely the graduation that was changed to graduation, and graduation became another meaning.

"Understood, Master Hou." Wu Shigong nodded in agreement.

"I won't treat you badly when I get married and become a father this time, I will give you a Zhuangzi and two shops, and give your daughter-in-law two gold, two silver and four sets of noodles. Rest well and get ready for your big wedding. Wu Weizhong also made a big deal, and the weight of gold and silver alone in four sets of heads and faces was equivalent to more than 500 taels of silver, while other concubines and concubines married at most one Zhuangzi, and one shop was at the top. The key is not to lose face in front of Yangwu Marquis Xue Lian. can explain that he sent a son to the Xue family for the sake of friendship, not because he had no money and couldn't afford to marry a daughter-in-law. In the final analysis, this is just Wu Weizhong's self-deception.

After listening to his father's words, Wu Shigong felt really good, I thought that this marriage was really playing naked around the newspaper, but I didn't expect that there were so many ......, it felt like the dowry mentioned in the legend. Wu Shigong was a little overjoyed. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiuzhu making gestures, hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, and put forward his own request: "Tell the Hou Ye, this time I am married and live in the woman's house, and my son is not used to being served by someone who is familiar with him, can I let Xiuzhu and Shumo follow and serve?" ”

Wu Weizhong thought about it for a while, Xiuzhu She knew that Shumo vaguely remembered that it was the little guy who ran away from the owner, and she wanted to send that little guy to Zhuangzi to farm, since Wu Shigong liked it, forget it. Wu Weizhong waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want." ”

Wu Shigong turned his head to look at his eldest brother Wu Shixun, the key to this matter is Wu Shixun's attitude. What does it matter to me whether the book is alive or dead, what I want is embroidered bamboo. Of course, Wu Shixun knew his wife's idea of marrying the eldest grandmother, but just now he saw Wu Shigong and Xiuzhu rolling together, and it is estimated that Xiuzhu has already been accepted by his younger brother, so he is not willing to be a villain in front of his younger brother. Then he nodded and agreed.

"It's important to get plenty of rest and take care of your body." After Wu Weizhong said this, he left with Wu Shixun.

Xiuzhu lowered her head, desperately holding back her joy, for fear that she would offend Master Hou again by laughing. I endured it for a long time before I raised my head with a smile on my face. Looking at Wu Shigong like water, he was tender. But before the words of gratitude could be spoken, I heard Wu Shigong say with a wicked smile: "To be a man must have a grateful heart, there is no need to be grateful with money, anyway, young master, I just made a windfall, you can kiss me three times as a thank you." ”

Xiuzhu's little face sank, and he raised his hand to hit Wu Shigong, but he couldn't help but be a little shy when he thought of the scene of being pulled into bed just now, and turned around and went out of the house to the outside room, thinking with hatred in his heart: "If the young master is so flamboyant, I will ignore him again." ”

But Wu Shigong still shouted annoyingly behind him: "Then two hits are fine, just one bit." Haha. ”
