Although Cui Shangshu is from Cui's family, he is a side branch, and in the early years, because his widowed mother and grandson had a very unpleasant quarrel, he almost never relied on Cui's along the way. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

Of course, sometimes even if he doesn't rely on Cui's family, the surname Cui also gives him a lot of convenience.

Just like his surname Cui, who is still a member of the household, can also bring a lot of benefits to Cui's family, for example, Cui Zheng's salary is always delayed for the shortest time.

Even if he never said hello, the officials under him would take more care of Cui Zheng because they were from the same family.

He can't say that he won't pay Cui Jiajun's salary first, and follow the Zhong Jiajun or the Northeast Army first, right?

The contradiction between him and Cui has never been put on the surface, but it has always existed.

He didn't fall, the two sides could still be safe, and once he fell, Cui would definitely take the lead in taking over the political resources in his hands, whether he wanted it or not, just like when his father died.

He didn't want his grandchildren to follow in his footsteps, and he was able to pass in that environment by talent and luck.

And being able to quickly rise to the next level after entering the company depends on opportunities.

At that time, it coincided with the Great Liang Southern Han War, and there was a scarcity of talents in the DPRK and China, so he was recommended by Lin Zhi to prepare grain and grass for the household department because of his good coordination and arithmetic, and sent it to the front.

This only entered the eyes of Shangguan in a short period of time, and even more into the eyes of His Majesty.

This kind of opportunity can only be encountered once in many years, and even if it is encountered, you may not be able to be promoted.

Therefore, he knows the importance of connections, only deep connections can push people to the opportunity, otherwise you have no great ability, and if the opportunity is not passed, you will have nowhere to grasp.

Lin Qingwan's ability is not weaker than that of her father and brother, and she can speak well in front of the emperor, and having a good relationship with her is only good and not bad.

Cui Shangshu also regretted: "It's a pity that Ling'er has already made a marriage, otherwise it would be a good thing to marry the Lin family." ”

Cui Dalang was stunned and asked, "Isn't there still a rime?" ”

Cui Shangshu glanced at him and said, "Li'er, most of the Lord Lin County doesn't look down on him. ”

So I made a mistake, I shouldn't have given Cui Ling a marriage so early.

But who would want to marry the Lin family three years ago?

Without a father and brother, not only does he have no male heirs, but the family is also weakening, although Lin Yubin's status is high, but the family is really not very favorable.

But looking at it now, I'm afraid that in addition to the Cui family, other families also want to marry this family, right?

After all, Lin Qingwan's ability is there, and the niece she personally raised should not be far behind.

When marrying a wife, sometimes her character ability is better than her family background, not to mention that she not only has character ability, but her family background is not bad.

It is true that many people want to marry the Lin family, and Lin Qingwan received an invitation from the concierge when she returned to the county lord's mansion from the Cui family.

They are all banquets or small meetings of some high-ranking gates in the capital.

She flipped through the pages, and finally looked at an invitation from the Fourth Prince's Mansion and was silent.

Mama Yang, who assisted her in handling housekeeping, glanced up and lowered her head and said, "This is the birthday of the fourth princess, and my aunt and grandmother should go to congratulate her." ”

Lin Qingwan took out the invitation card and put it aside and said, "Then go, let Yubin make two sets of clothes, and I'll take her when I go back." ”

This is an invitation card that was delivered a month in advance to show respect to the guests, so there is still a long time to prepare.

Mama Yang responded with a smile, took out a few more invitations and said, "This was sent last night, and they are all today's small meeting, do you want to go and have a look?" ”

Lin Qingwan was busy all night, and now she was sleepy, so she shook her head and said, "It's all pushed, I'll go back to make up for sleep, if my mother is free, why don't you let her go for me?" ”

Mama Yang smiled: "Madame knows and should say that the young grandmother is lazy." ”

Lin Qingwan said helplessly: "Isn't that for Yubin's marriage, otherwise I wouldn't be too lazy to go." ”

"That's the young grandmother, you are quite demanding, I think the few you have seen recently are good, and the character and appearance of those descendants are not bad."

"It's a pity that the family conditions are not very good," Lin Qingwan whispered: "There are three layers of elders on the top......

And the mother-in-law is easy to talk to, the mother-in-law has a notoriously bad temper, and the reputation of the mother-in-law on both floors is good, Lin Qingwan can always find a lot of problems if she asks carefully.

In such a big family, if Yubin marries, she has to be careful everywhere, and she doesn't know how many years it will take to get through, so she doesn't want her to suffer that way.

What's more, those boys look fine, but after careful inspection, they also have some problems, and one of the biggest common problems is that they can't be masters at home.

Lin Qingwan threw those invitations aside, and said, "Don't worry about these in advance, Mama, Steward Lin and Mama Lin are about to go to Beijing, recently you keep your mother to stay, and when they get to the capital, organize things and then leave?" ”

Mama Yang was stunned, "Aren't they still four or five days away?" ”

"Yes, that's why you've been living here for the rest of the year, and you still have to worry about family affairs."

If Mama Yang lives here, then Mrs. Xie will definitely live here, but according to the usual practice, Mrs. Xie should go back to Xie's house tonight.

Mama Yang looked at Lin Qingwan suspiciously and said, "Isn't there something wrong with the Xie family?" By the way, how is the Cui family? ”

"Cui Shangshu fell and was a little sick, it has nothing to do with the Xie family, I just think it's not good for my mother to always run around like this, just stay here for a while longer, and wait until next month to go back to the Xie family."

Mama Yang didn't understand the government and couldn't associate it with the Xie family from the Cui family, so she thought about it and nodded: "It's okay, then I'll talk to my wife." ”

Anyway, when Mrs. lived in the county lord's mansion, she was really comfortable, and when she returned to Xie Mansion, even if those people didn't look for trouble, they would be blocked.

It's good to stay in the county lord's mansion for a little longer.

When Mama Yang walked to the backyard, she remembered, "No, Your Majesty's birthday is coming, how can Madame not go back to Xie Mansion?" She is going to enter the palace from Xie Mansion to celebrate her birthday. ”

Lin Qingwan didn't think that Mrs. Xie would enter the palace to celebrate her birthday, since Cui Shangshu said that Xie Hong was one of the important candidates, obviously there must be many people who think the same as him.

Xie Hong's wife is long gone, and the only people who can contact him in the back house are Mrs. Xie and the Li family.

Li's family, snort, it's not that Lin Qingwan looks down on her, since Mrs. Xie went to Beijing, her reputation has been at its lowest point, not to mention foreign aid, it's not bad if she doesn't hold Xie Hong back.

Lin Qingwan didn't want Mrs. Xie to go back to make a block.

Lin Qingwan didn't want to, but the Xie family would come to invite.

Cui Shangshu's illness couldn't be concealed at all, as soon as the morning dawned, Cui Dalang entered the palace with a fold of illness, one was to take leave, reminding the emperor that it was time to prepare the next Hubu Shangshu, and the other was to ask his father for a royal doctor.

This is no different from a bolt from the blue for the emperor, why is it so difficult for him to have a birthday?

First, there was a war at the border, and now one of his senior officers suddenly fell ill.

All of a sudden, where did he go to find a usable Tobe book?

Cui Shangshu has been sitting in the position of Hubu Shangshu for more than ten years, and he has already cultivated a tacit understanding with the emperor, and he can trust the other party, and the emperor has never thought of changing the Hubu Shangshu.

So he hurriedly sent the imperial doctor out, as for Cui Shangshu's illness was suppressed by him, it was better to wait for the imperial doctor to see it.

The emperor sent five imperial doctors in one go, this lineup, Rao is Cui Shangshu knew that he was important, and he couldn't help but be moved to tears at this time, but it was rare to put the interests of the family aside first and consider the interests of the country.

But after thinking about it this way, I found that there was really no one who was particularly suitable.

Those who have prestige lack experience and ability in the household department, and those who have experience and ability lack prestige.

It's not enough to be a chief official, you have to manage your subordinates, otherwise what's the difference between you and a hall official?

Although Cui Shangshu was sick, he was also worried about several hairs.

The imperial doctors couldn't help but comfort him, "Your Excellency, you should relax and worry about it, you shouldn't think about it now." ”

The pulse case reported to the emperor is not good, although Cui Shangshu may recover in the future, but at present, he has suffered a stroke, not to mention normal work, it is difficult to live normally.

Therefore, the emperor must find himself a household book.

At the same time, the news that Cui Shangshu was seriously ill also spread, and all families moved when they heard the news, and they all aimed at the position of Hubu Shangshu.

Those who are not qualified to fight, they can support those close to them to fight, and those who do not occupy both sides can consider having a relationship with someone who has the ability to compete, such as marriage.

Nowadays, there is no prime minister, so the six Shangshu in Beijing have the greatest power, and the household department, the military department and the official department are the most important, and the power is especially great.

For a time, the families in the capital visited each other and were lively.

Xie Hong also belongs to people who can fight, but there are some things that others can come forward, and his family can come forward, but he himself cannot.

Xie Yan moved up, jumping up and down to pull the relationship for his father, and at this time the importance of the back house was revealed.

Xie Yiyang and Li wanted to help, but after hitting a wall on two trips, Xie Yan decisively let them stay at home, every time he went out with them, everyone always looked at him with something strange in their eyes, Xie Yan was not a fool, he knew that Mrs. Xie had damaged the reputation of her son and daughter-in-law in the capital for the past year.

At this time, it is better for them to go out less.

But there are some things that Xie Yan is not easy to come forward for, and he has to start from the female dependent, and Xie Yan found out that Mrs. Xie has not returned to Xie's mansion for many days.

He hesitated, but instead of asking someone, he went to ask his married sister to help.

Wang Xie couldn't help but spray her brother, "It's natural for me to run for my father, but what do others think of the Xie family?" Does the Xie family have no wife, or no daughter-in-law? If you want me to say, you shouldn't have agreed to the Lin family to invite people to go at that time.

Filial piety? The sister-in-law wants a widowed daughter-in-law to be filial, so what do the eldest lang and the eldest daughter-in-law eat? ”

Wang Xie asked mercilessly, "Is it because Da Lang and Da Lang's daughter-in-law are unfilial, so she needs to live in the widowed daughter-in-law's house?" I'm embarrassed to say this when my wife asks about it. ”

Xie Yan's face was a little embarrassed, and he defended: "You weren't in the capital before, I don't know how fierce your sister-in-law is, she is in the house, and there is no peace at home." And can the eldest daughter-in-law be the same as the second daughter-in-law? She is willing to live, and we naturally have no reason to stop her. ”

"Fart, what's different, it's all her son, why is it different?" Wang Xie took a deep breath and said in a calm voice: "If she is angry in her heart, let her let her spread it, if you want me to say that it is too much for Da Lang, my father and eldest brother should not be so easy to calculate, if you punish it more heavily, my sister-in-law will not be so resentful." ”
