Cui Jie's words were loud, revealing an undoubted taste.

When chatting with Li Qinzai last night, she still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that if the two cousins were really talented in learning, then it would not be difficult for the husband to accommodate them, after all, there is real talent and learning, even if others are investigated, the husband is not weak-minded.

However, after today's face-to-face assessment, Cui Jie's heart was completely cold.

At this moment, she realized that the two children of the clan who were stuffed by her father Cui Linqian were not capable of gaining fame at all, and he was purely seeking officials for the children of the clan.

Although today's family is frequently suppressed by the Son of Heaven, the power of the family is still there, and the relationship between the family and the royal family is very delicate, not purely hostile, nor purely using each other.

In the peaceful years, the royal family and the family are in a relationship of rest and sharing, and they are both prosperous, but in private they are inevitably intrigued, and the yang is against the yin.

If the world is in chaos and the royal family is withering, then the family is not welcome, the country is social, and those who can live in it, no one will be stupid to be loyal and brave to protect the royal family.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people in various places changed everywhere, and the rebel army was all over the world. didn't join forces with Li Yuan, and it only took more than a year to completely overthrow the Sui Dynasty.

Until now, the relationship between the royal family and the family is still very delicate, and the scientific expedition carried out by the Son of Heaven after his accession to the throne has become a hostile factor between the royal family and the family.

Under such a premise, Cui Linqian insisted that Li Qinzai give two meritorious names, obviously in order to let the Cui family in Qingzhou lay two more chess pieces in the court and install one more force.

Cui Jie was full of resentment.

The royal family and the family are fighting openly and secretly, what is my husband doing?

Even your son-in-law is taking advantage of it, and there is no humanity left?

"Let's go, come back with me." Cui Jie put away the test paper and walked out.

A group of students hurriedly bowed down to see each other, and Cui Ling and Cui Rui followed behind their cousin nervously.

The temper of a pregnant woman is already more violent than usual, and today's father uses favors to force her husband to do what she doesn't want to do, Cui Jie is already very annoyed in her heart, where does she care about blood kinship.

Leading the two cousins from the school back to the courtyard, Cui Jie walked into the backyard with the support of two old women, pushed open Cui Linqian's door, and was about to get angry after entering, but found that Li Qinzai and Cui Linqian were sitting opposite each other, and the two of them were chatting in a harmonious atmosphere.

Seeing Cui Jie coming in, Cui Linqian's smiling face suddenly sank a little.

"Have you forgotten your tutor when you get married? Knocking on the door? ”

Cui Jie pursed her mouth and looked at Li Qinzai a little aggrieved.

Li Qinzai smiled and continued: "Of course, if you get married, you are a member of my Li family, in our Li family, Jie'er has no taboos, she is the master of the family, and the master does not need to knock on the door no matter which room she enters." ”

Cui Jie looked at Li Qinzai with emotion and sweetness and smiled.

Cui Linqian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, although it is the daughter of the old man, you can't spoil it too much, the rules that should be in the family must be established, the daughter of my Cui family has been raised with etiquette since elementary school, and she can't marry someone but become vulgar and rude, which makes people laugh." ”

"It doesn't hurt that Jie'er sets the house on fire, my woman can do whatever she likes, whoever dares to laugh, I will kill him." Li Qinzai's smile did not change.

Cui Linqian was stunned, he then remembered that the virtuous son-in-law in front of him was not a good man, his deeds over the years were famous all over the world, although he did not hold a position in the court, but no one in the court dared to provoke him.

Cui Jie unconsciously grabbed Li Qinzai's arm, sat side by side with him, and pouted: "Dad, Cui Ling and Cui Rui are really not suitable for ......."

Before she finished speaking, Li Qinzai suddenly interrupted her words and said with a smile: "Jie'er, I talked to my father-in-law just now, and during the scientific examination, I will be appropriately accommodating to your two cousins, it is nothing more than two fames, just a gesture." ”

Cui Linqian smiled with satisfaction.

Cui Jie was shocked and said, "Husband, you ...... Have you thought twice? ”

Li Qinzai nodded: "Of course your own family has to help your own family, otherwise your father-in-law will marry you to me, wouldn't it be a loss?" Just for my father-in-law to marry my flower-like daughter, I can't disappoint my father-in-law, right? ”

Cui Linqian became more and more pleased, and laughed loudly: "The virtuous son-in-law is really very transparent in his life, and with the qualifications of the virtuous son-in-law, it will not be a problem to be a marquis and worship the prime minister in the future." ”

Li Qinzai said humbly: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law has already been made a marquis......"

Cui Jie was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand to the corner where Cui Linqian couldn't see, and twisted Li Qinzai fiercely, but said with a terrifying smile on her face: "Husband, didn't you wake up from a hangover last night?" Just now, the concubine took two sets of test papers for her cousins, and the husband knew that they ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Qinzai again: "It's okay, the test paper is not important, and it doesn't matter what you do, what matters is the father-in-law's heart for the fulfillment of the children in the clan, as a son-in-law, of course I have to stand with the father-in-law, open a convenient door and other idle matters, Mrs. does not need to say much." ”

Cui Linqian became more and more pleased, and the son-in-law in front of him became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Think about Cui Sheng, the son of his scholar in the palace, who has a domineering and cold president face all year round, compared with the interpretive and considerate son-in-law in front of him, he should be thrown into his mother's stomach to reinvent himself.

Seeing that Cui Linqian was happy and comfortable, Li Qinzai also smiled and said: "Zhangren, the two younger brothers-in-law must be convenient, nothing more than two fames, but after all, the scientific examination is a grand event that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to, and the son-in-law can only promise to help within the scope of his authority." ”

"If it is beyond the scope of the son-in-law's authority, please forgive the son-in-law for not being able to do anything, after all, you can't make the Son of Heaven dislike the son-in-law for the sake of the two brothers, then the gains outweigh the losses, do you think so?"

Cui Linqian laughed and said: "The person who made the question is you, as long as the virtuous son-in-law reveals the topic in advance, there is no need to worry about anything else." ”

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "The topic is really impossible to disclose, the scientific examination questions are not something that the son-in-law can decide alone, and he will have to participate in the study with the Ministry of Rites, the doctor of the Guozi Supervision Department and other officials, and only after inviting the Son of Heaven to review it can it be finalized." ”

"Before the question is asked, the son-in-law will be closed and will not see any outsiders, and it is also to avoid suspicion, and the scientific examination questions are really impossible to disclose."

Cui Linqian nodded understandingly, he actually knew a little about the general process of the scientific expedition, and knew that Li Qinzai was telling the truth.

So Cui Linqian said again: "Then change the method, when the virtuous son-in-law reviews the candidates' test papers, you might as well make it convenient for the two children of the clan, how about it?" ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "This is okay, the son-in-law is barely competent, unless there are other changes." ”

Cui Lin said happily: "In this way, let's make up our minds, the good news of the old man and other virtuous sons-in-law." ”

Weng and his son-in-law dispersed happily, and Li Qinzai helped Cui Jie to say goodbye and leave the house.

Back in the backyard room, Cui Jie was so angry that she screwed him hard, and said angrily: "The concubine tried her best to help her husband refuse her father's unreasonable request, why did your husband agree to him?" Didn't you say that you can't break the rules? ”

Li Qinzai blinked: "Of course the rules can't be broken, but ...... Rules are dead, but people are alive. ”

"What do you mean, husband?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The next thing, Mrs. doesn't have to worry about it, let me deal with it, ensure that I don't break the rules at the same time, I won't offend my father-in-law, Mrs. can raise the baby with peace of mind, and strive to give me a big fat son, and a big fat daughter is okay." ”

Cui Jie snorted and said, "It must be a son, it can't be a daughter, the concubine has a strong premonition." ”

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "There are some things that I can't say to my father-in-law, since I helped my father-in-law this time, this favor can't be in vain, right?" You help me hint at your father, I hope your father understands something......"
