Li Chengwei didn't dare to think about it anymore, and after thinking about how to explain to that person for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable excuse, so he turned around and went to the inner courtyard.

There are only a few sons in the Li family, and there are many daughters, except for the three daughters born to the main wife, concubines, Tongfang, Meiji, even if they are girls in the house, and the outer rooms raised outside, they all have their own characteristics, count them carefully, plus those who have not entered the family tree, I am afraid that two palms and two soles are not enough.

Ordinary people can't afford to raise their daughters, so they are afraid that when they want to get married, they won't be able to pay enough dowry, but the Li family has no such worries.

In fact, Li Chengwei only wants to have a few more daughters.

He has money, but he lacks power, and there is no better way to win over him than to marry his daughter. The list is played back every three years, and the son-in-law is caught under the list, and the Li family can't catch the first and second grades, but the top three are very easy.

As long as it continues like this, it won't take many years, there are many sons-in-law who are officials in the family, and there will be no one out of ten who can climb up, and there will always be one out of thirty?

For those who can be used, Li Chengwei has never been stingy with silver.

Sometimes, however, it is inevitable to look away.

Just like when the youngest daughter born to his wife chose a son-in-law, he first picked a son-in-law from a poor family, who knew that the other party's name fell to Sun Shan.

Since he failed the exam, he naturally can't be a parent anymore, according to the previous agreement, the family will not do things, he took a new one as a science and technology scholar, that person looks a little smart, looks good, speaks beautifully, and looks like a person who can do things. In order to compete with the rest of the people for this good material, he threw out 10,000 yuan, and gave his youngest daughter three acres of good paddy fields before taking it down.

Who knew that person was very stupid, a county magistrate had been working for four or five years, and he had several exams, but he could only get the middle and lower, and he couldn't make the silver help operate.

If you don't know how to be an official, you can't climb up, but you can't even be greedy, you don't know where you can stretch out your hand, you don't know where you can't stretch out, and it took a lot of effort to get a little money, and it was found out by the people who went down to check the accounts of the transfer department.

Such a person is destined to be unproductive.

All the daughters raised by the Li family are useful, not to mention that Pingniang still spent a lot of money to pile them up, how can it be wasted on this kind of person, it is Li Chengwei who quickly made the decision, gave the other party some money, and the two sides separated.

However, Du Tanzhi, who was not admitted in the last subject and had a son-in-law before the list, was in high school not long after, and he was still on the rise, and he was about to shine, and he married the daughter of Confucianism.

That's not all, Du Tanzhi is about to be promoted to the position in a blink of an eye, Dali Temple Commentary, one can judicially try cases, and the other is to assist in the affairs of Dali Temple, if you grasp such a person, those things committed by Li Chengwei in the past, you don't have to worry too much, and for the one above him, you can almost take a peek at the leopard, and know the corresponding movements in Dali Temple, which is also very important.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Chengwei arrived in his daughter's room.

Li Pingniang is practicing.

Seeing Li Chengwei coming, she hurriedly stopped her hand and got up to greet her.

For his daughter, who is talented and skilled, as long as he doesn't encounter something of interest, Li Chengwei is used to being a little bit biased, but this time his face is not good-looking, and he asked directly: "Last time you went to the Big Buddha Temple, how did things go?" You have never been with that Liu, what is her attitude? ”

can be the most favored among so many children, Li Pingniang is naturally a smart person, as soon as she saw Li Chengwei's expression, she knew that this matter was not good, so she had to reluctantly answer: "I only had time to say two words, and I was interrupted by the one who walked with her." ”

I retold the scene of that day again.

If it weren't for the fact that this time the matter was too tricky, Li Chengwei wouldn't have asked in person at all, but after asking clearly at this time, he felt that it was even more tricky.

The people at the top don't care what methods the people at the bottom use to do things, and they don't care how difficult it is, they just feel that since I have explained it to you, you have to do it well.

The current situation is that not only did he not do it on schedule, but he also messed up, and even dragged Zhixin into the water.

didn't care about asking any more, for fear that if it was too late this time, he would suffer, Li Chengwei hurriedly went out, only brought a cronie, and went to Taihefang.

***

In the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Rui was reviewing the chapters, he flipped through the folds while coughing, and read them for a long time, but he didn't finish reading a single fold.

Zheng Lai stood behind, a little flustered when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a look at the imperial doctor again?" ”

Zhao Rui shook his head.

It was announced in the afternoon, and I took the medicine, but it didn't work.

It is said that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, but this silk has been smoked for a long time.

Since winter turned to spring, he began to have typhoid fever, and then gradually improved, but the cough has not been cured, and it has been half a year, dragging and dragging, but it has become more and more severe.

A while ago, Jizhou and Fuzhou rebelled, and there was movement in Jiaozhi, he was very anxious, and he stayed up several nights in a row, lying on the bed at night, tossing and turning, and couldn't even sleep well.

Zhao Rui has always had a difficult heir, and it is rare to support this one, but he is generally weak like his father, even if he is in a hurry, he has no choice but to ask the imperial doctor to watch from time to time.

Zhao Wei is not in good health, not only is he anxious, but Queen Yang is even more anxious.

Although she is not her own son, she is still Zhao Rui's son, and she is also her son in name, as long as she ascends the throne in the future, she will be the queen mother, although she may not be able to really get filial piety, she can barely live a life.

But if Zhao Rui has no heirs, her life will be sad.

The son who passed over, most of his heart is still towards his biological parents, think about the former Emperor Zhezong, when Zhezong was still alive, Emperor Qinzong wanted to give his biological parents a big title, Zhezong and the queen mother at that time hugged their heads and cried in the harem, but they were helpless.

And if there is no succession in the end, but the rest of the vassal kings are chosen to succeed to the throne, then Empress Yang's life will be even more difficult.

Now that Zhao is sick, Queen Yang does not dare to take it lightly, so she only moves her son to her palace and takes care of it personally.

Zhao Rui coughed for a long time, thinking of his son, he couldn't stand the music in his hand for a while, so he drove to Renming Palace.

Empress Yang had just watched Zhao take medicine, and when he fell asleep, she heard that the Son of Heaven was coming.

She hurriedly greeted her and was about to salute, but was stopped by Zhao Rui, only to hear him ask, "But it's better?" ”

Empress Yang naturally knew what the other party was asking, and she felt a little sad in her heart for a while, but she had to say: "I just took the medicine, and now that I am asleep, Your Majesty wants to go and see?" ”

Zhao Rui changed his shoes before walking in, and he didn't make a sound, just stood by the bed and watched for a while, and saw that although Zhao Zhi didn't sleep very well, he still fell asleep in the end, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.
