125. Candidacy

It was late at night when the Li family came back from the Li family, and they almost missed the curfew, but they walked easily, swept away the gloomy color on their faces before, and hurriedly called Xu Hui to say happily before they even had time to wash, "Master, the concubine returned to the Li family in the second half of the day, and the eldest brother was very angry when he found out about Sister Ting'er, so he thought of a way to keep it so that the Song family could withdraw from their relatives." ”

"Oh? What's the idea? "Even Xu Shu can't do anything, the Li family actually has a way, Xu Hui is a little curious.

Li took a sip of tea and continued, "In the afternoon, I received a letter from my sister-in-law, saying that the second brother's youngest daughter Ying'er had just arrived this year and had reported to the palace to be selected, and the official of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the draft this time was my father's student, so Ying'er was definitely going to enter the palace, and asked me to go back because I wanted to talk to Sister Shu'er, so that she could help Ying'er say a few good words in front of the Empress Dowager when she entered the palace next time!" ”

Xu Hui didn't understand, "What does Madame mean?" ”

Li explained, "I told my eldest brother in detail about Sister Ting's marriage with the Song family, and the eldest brother said that it was fortunate that it was not publicized when the marriage was made, and there are not many people who know that Sister Ting'er is married, and there is still room for turnaround!" Our family might as well report Sister Ting's name to run for election, in this case......"

"No!" Before Li finished speaking, Xu Hui refused, "There are countless concubines in the palace, how many can survive in the end?" How can I bear to let Sister Ting spend her youth in the palace! Mrs. has always loved Sister Ting, how can she send Sister Ting to the Tiger ...... Sent to the palace, instead of this, it is better to wait for the Song family's affairs to be settled, it is just to damage the reputation, what are you afraid of marrying low? ”

"Master, listen to me!" Li was very dissatisfied with Xu Hui's interruption, "The master is distressed about Sister Ting, isn't the concubine distressed?" The concubine naturally has a reason to say this, even if Sister Ting is reported to run for election, it doesn't mean that Sister Ting can be selected, right? ”

Xu Hui somewhat understood, just now Li specifically mentioned the officials of the Ministry of Rites when he talked about Li Ying'er, Xu Hui wondered what to do with this irrelevant matter at first, it turned out that it was used here! "Madame, do you mean that we will report Sister Ting'er's name, and then let the people from the Ministry of Rites remove her again?"

Li nodded, "Once Sister Ting's name is on the booklet to be selected, it will be a show girl, a person who wants to enter the palace, with the current situation of the Song family, they will never dare to keep up with the head and rob people, let's go and propose to withdraw from the marriage at this time, the Song family will not dare not agree, and as soon as the marriage is withdrawn, the name of Sister Ting will be removed!" In this way, he not only divorced the marriage, but also preserved Sister Ting's reputation! ”

Indeed, there is no shame in the unsuccessful show girl, Kefu is the most fatal!

Xu Hui had to admit that Li Chong's method was very wonderful, but he still couldn't help but hesitate, "What if something goes wrong and you can't remove your name, what if Sister Ting really enters the palace?" ”

Li said confidently, "No, Lord Yu, who is in charge of this draft, is my father's most proud student, and he respects my father very much, as long as my father speaks, he will definitely help with this!" ”

Xu Hui was still a little worried, "What if the Song family still doesn't let go?" ”

Li smiled, "Impossible! The Song family is now in a state of panic, what they are most afraid of is the blame from above, as long as Sister Ting is named on the waiting list, she is a royal person, and if you give the Song family ten guts, they will not dare to rob people with the royal family! ”

"Let me think about it!" Xu Hui was a little loose, but he still didn't completely let go.

Li urged, "Don't hesitate, master, the roster to be selected will be submitted to the palace in a few days, and even if you want to sign up, you won't be able to register!" Besides, this name can be removed anyway, even if the Song family does not agree to withdraw from the family, there is no damage! ”

"I see!" Xu Hui pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Then let's give it a try!" I hope that Sister Ting is a blessed child and can get rid of the Song family! ”

Li said happily, "Let Brother Zhang'er paint a portrait of Sister Ting!" ”

Xu Hui nodded, "I'll go to Brother Zhang'er and say it!" ”

The fourth young master Xu Zhang is good at calligraphy and painting, Xu Hui asked him to paint a portrait of Xu Ting very readily agreed, but Xu Hui explained that he must make Xu Ting's painting more mediocre, although Xu Zhang did not understand his meaning, but he still obediently did it, fortunately, Xu Ting is not a good look, and it is not difficult to paint mediocre.

Holding the portrait, Xu Hui was quite satisfied, with the appearance on the portrait, even if something went wrong in the end, and Xu Ting's name was really sent to the palace, he would still be defeated.

With the help of his brother-in-law Li Chong, Xu Hui quickly reported Xu Ting's name, and the next thing was to go to a showdown with the Song family, considering that the credibility of Xu Ting's participation in the draft would be discounted if the Xu family came forward, so he found someone who was familiar with the Song family and handed the news to the Song family.

The Song family knew that Xu Ting was already very angry after being elected, and he couldn't help but start worrying about his family's situation after spitting on the Xu family's behavior of selling women for glory.

The Li family thought that the Song family would never dare to disobey their fate, and they would not dare to poke Xu Ting's marriage out, so this family affair was withdrawn, and they were happy, and they were afraid that Xu Ting would still have any thoughts about the Song family, so she suddenly withdrew her relatives and couldn't accept it, so she wanted to give her a breath first, so she told her that Xu Ting was going to withdraw from the Song family and let her participate in the draft.

"The Song family is about to be ruined, and the purpose of reporting you to be selected is to return the Song family's family affairs, you don't have to worry, you won't enter the palace!" Li reassured.

Xu Ting nodded, and the uneasiness in her heart was completely let go, "Thank you mother, my daughter knows that my mother is doing this for her daughter's good!" ”

Li smiled with relief, "You are my most beloved daughter, I naturally don't want you to suffer, then the Song family's corruption is also self-inflicted, but I can't affect my daughter, even if I risk my life, I can't let the Song family succeed!" ”

"Mother......" Xu Ting was moved to tears, "My daughter knows that it is not good for the Xu family to ruin the reputation of the Xu family at this time, but the mother ignores the reputation of the Xu family for the sake of her daughter, and the grandfather and father will inevitably blame you, and the daughter is sorry for you!" ”

Li Shi also reddened his eyes, "As long as you are good, it is better than anything else!" Your eldest sister suffered a loss in the marriage, and your mother can't watch you being pushed into the fire pit! ”

"Mother!" Xu Ting threw herself into Li's arms and cried, Li hugged Xu Ting, her heart was full of emotion and a sense of achievement, but she didn't see the smile on Xu Ting's face.
