Only that Han Hui boasted of being clear, this time he wanted to ask for benefits from the younger generation, but he couldn't erase his face, and immediately the Qian family came forward to test the Wang family's tone, and the Qian family secretly called the eldest daughter, second daughter, and third daughter to help, so that Han Lei and Han Xiu asked for a place today.

Han Xiu was annoyed when she heard this, only she had a soft temperament, and although Han Lei was about the same age as her, she was always an elder, and it was not easy to attack on the spot, so she had to blush.

"It's not for my niece to call the shots about this matter, so naturally I still have to ask my parents!"

Bah! What Miss Feng family, I don't know where the relatives who came to fight the autumn wind, and the people who can't fight with us, how did they find us!

Han Lei responded,

"Naturally, you can't be the master of this matter, don't think that our family is forcing you to take it by force, but your cousin of the Feng family is a person with a great future, if you make a contribution, you will have benefits in the future, this is also because our two families are relatives, and they have always been close, I will tell you the truth, if others are only afraid that it is Baba's paste, I will not pay attention to it!"

Her tone of grace, Han Xiu was depressed when she heard it, but she didn't know how to refute it for a while, so she had to hang her head and be silent.

Speaking of this, it was cold, and the pavilion was silent for a while, and everyone stayed for a while to hear that on the garden path, Han Jun took Han Man and ran back,

"Big sister, the flowers in this garden are blooming well, why don't you go and take a look!"

Seeing this, Han Xiu took the opportunity to get up and go over, and wiped the sweat of the two girls with a handkerchief.

"In such a hot weather, I still run with the old Wuhu, if I suffer from the heat stroke, my own family will suffer!"

turned around and took herbal tea for the two of them to drink, only then did they see Han Qi shaking a fan and walking slowly from behind, Han Xiu saw Han Qi coming, and hurriedly took her hand and smiled,

"We've been playing in this backyard for a long time, why don't we go ahead and see our mother?"

She knew that this Aunt Lei was a pampered person by the family, and she held her father's official position and was an elder, for fear that she would force Han Qi to give up the place in the academy in front of her, so she hurriedly pulled Han Qi to the front yard and left, and Han Jun and Han Man also chased her out.

"Big sister, you wait for us!"

Han Qi saw a little strange,

"Big sister, a few cousins are still in the pavilion, it's a bit rude to leave like this!"

Han Xiu bit her lip and said to her,

"I'll talk to you when I get out of the house!"

The four sisters hurried out of the backyard, and it happened that the mother-in-law next to the Wang family came to look for someone, and when they saw them, they smiled and said,

"The ladies are here, but they save the legs and feet of the old slave!"

And then he said,

"It's noon, and I want the ladies to go to the front for dinner!"

At noon, Han Xiu ate absent-mindedly, and the Wang family was also full of suspicions, only Han Shifeng and Han Hui pushed the cup and changed the lamp to return happy, and when they got into the carriage back home, Han Xiu pulled Wang's sleeve and said,

"Mother, do you know what Aunt Lei said earlier?"

Wang raised his eyebrows,

"What did you say?"

Han Xiu exhaled,

"Aunt Lei wants the third sister to give up the place in the academy and give her a distant cousin!"

Wang's face sank at first when he heard this, and then suddenly,

"No wonder!"

No wonder the Qian family and the two daughters have been knocking on the side, and the words hinted that they frequently mentioned the matter of Sister Qi's entry into the academy, but it turned out that the idea was beaten, and Wang's face was immediately gloomy when he heard it, but Han Jun was furious when he heard it,

"How can they be so shameless, what kind of distant relatives want to enter Chengsheng Academy, and they have the ability to take the exam at home, how can they come to grab our family's place!"

Han Qi also frowned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he asked the Wang family,

"Mother, if it is really a distant relative of three thousand miles, my cousin may not open this mouth!"

The inner house is through the outer courtyard, Aunt Lei dares to open her mouth to tempt, it must also be instructed by Uncle Tang, who has been an official for many years, and naturally will not be untargeted, which must be a little strange, and this matter must be told to the father!

Wang and her thought of a current answer,

"I'll talk about this in detail when I get home!"

Back at home, the Wang family first sent a few daughters who refused to go back to the backyard, and waited for Han Shifeng to drink sobering tea, and after wiping her face, she sat aside and frowned and told the eldest daughter about the report, Han Shifeng was still lying comfortably on the bed, but when he heard the words, he suddenly sat up straight,

"You say...... Who said that? ”

Wang Shi replied,

"It was Han Lei and Xiu'er who said it!"

Han Shifeng sat there, silent, only his face was cloudy, and he said after a while,

"Let me inquire about this matter first!"

After three days, Han Shifeng returned home and closed the door with the Wang husband and wife, before sneering and saying to the Wang family,

"Humph! I asked someone to inquire about it, what is the distant cousin......"

At the moment, I will tell the Wang family one by one, although Han Shifeng is a petty official of the sixth grade, but he has been an official for more than ten years in this Beijing division, and naturally all departments have some connections in private, as long as you inquire carefully, you can naturally figure out what is going on!

The Wang family was born in the official palace since she was a child, and this kind of thing is not uncommon for her, but she didn't expect Han Hui to hit the idea on their heads, and she sneered at the moment,

"He's a lucrative business, but he wants to use our family quota to curry favor with his boss!"

Han Shifeng showed a wry smile on his face,

"Han Hui is my clan uncle when it comes to the ranking of the clan, but he is not close to us on weekdays, and he has no contact with Tongzhou when he is a child, but I heard my friend in the Inspectorate said in private, this person is open-minded and generous on the outside, but on the inside he is a villain who will repay him, if he is annoyed, he will not care about the righteousness of the clan!"

When Wang heard this, he didn't believe it,

"As the saying goes, there are only a few people in your Han clan who are officials in the capital, and they should be in a group, how can he dare to attack his own family, so he is not afraid that the clan will know about it and damage his reputation?"

Han Shifeng shook his head and said,

"Our Tongzhou Han family is a big family, it is said to be a surname, in fact, I am already separated from him by 108,000 miles, but it is because of the same official in Beijing, and he is an official in the fourth grade, as you said, we are all Han clan, so we naturally have to move around more, but ...... Huihui, you also know that in this officialdom, not to mention the same clan, even father and son, there are times when they turn against each other! ”

Wang's face became solemn when he heard this,

"According to what the master said, this quota can only be given out? Our third sister read so well that she quit the academy like this? I...... I'm not reconciled! ”

Han Shifeng let out a long sigh, paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, and thought for a while,

"I naturally don't want the third sister to quit the academy, tomorrow I will go to find Brother Sun and beg him to think of ideas!"

Even if Han Hui opened his mouth, he had no intention of taking it back, if he didn't want to offend him, he must think of something!

Walked a few laps with his hands and hated,

"It's a big deal, grit your teeth and pay another five hundred taels of silver to buy a place, and give it to Han Hui!"

Han Shifeng has also been mixed in the officialdom of this Beijing division for more than ten years, so he naturally understands that there is no one who does not want to climb up, and he will ask the juniors of the clan to ask for the quota of the academy, that is, when his wife and children are also sent out!

That Han Hui is an elder in the clan, and he is a few levels older than his own official, he now only lets the woman in the back house speak, but it also gives him room to maneuver, if he is summoned into the mansion that day to speak in person, Han Shifeng is no longer willing to offend him in person!

Han Shifeng immediately ordered Wang Shidao,

"You will take out five hundred taels of silver tomorrow, and I'll take care of it!"

Wang was distressed when he heard this,

"There isn't much money in the family, seeing that the eldest is getting married, and the sisters behind are not small, don't forget, master, there is also a Shiro!"

Han Shifeng was also unhappy in his heart, and responded,

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can't do what is in front of me, and it will be difficult in the future!"

Who is Han Hui, Han Shifeng also knows a little, he is also a speech official, if he holds a grudge against himself because of this matter, he will not say it to his face, and he will instruct his subordinates to participate in his own book, and he is a little six-grade mung bean official, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat and go around!

If you can't afford to provoke the left and right, you can only go along with it, and if you want to do it, you have to do it neatly and neatly, if you wait for Han Hui to ask, it will be the last thing to do, and you will have to end up with a perfunctory and procrastinating complaint!

Han Shifeng has been an official for many years, so he naturally knows the truth of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!

After the husband and wife discussed that night, Han Shifeng went to the yamen in the morning on the second day, took a half-day leave in the afternoon, and went to the academy to find Sun Hao, Sun Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly when he learned that he came.

"Brother Han, are you here to be a market for selling vegetables? How many pounds do you want to buy? ”

Han Shifeng also had a bitter face,

"You and I have been friends for many years, and I don't dare to hide it from you, this is also my uncle's mouth......"

Talking about Han Hui at the moment, only he didn't dare to tell the true identity of Miss Feng's family, only said that he was a distant relative of his nephew, Sun Hao frowned,

"These sub-officials are all like mad dogs, if you don't get into trouble, it's fine, if you get into trouble, you have to shed your skin!"

I lowered my head and thought about it,

"I'll try my best to think about this matter, but if the mountain chief doesn't nod his head, my brother can only help you get here!"

When Han Shifeng heard this, he bowed his hand as a courtesy,

"Brother Sun Gaoyi, Han is really grateful!"

Sun Hao waved his hand and said,

"You and I don't have to come to these polite ways, in fact, I am willing to do my best not just for you, but also the third lady of your family is really smart and studious, diligent and hardworking, there is a little bit of your shadow back then, and I don't want her to drop out of school because of this!"

When Han Shifeng heard this, it was as if someone had scratched the itch, and laughed,

"Brother Sun praises falsely, the little girl is stupid and deserves such praise from Brother Sun! Our junior is just a little better at reading than others! ”

Sun Hao has been friends with him for many years, and when he saw his bright and deprecating and secretly praised, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Go, go, go! Don't be proud here, go back and listen to the letter! ”

Han Shifeng turned around with a smile.
