Wei Shicheng's attitude was very clear, he wanted to "take good care" of her, which had already given a clear signal to the county lord of Yuanheng and a serious warning to everyone.

You should treat Li Qingyi as an ally, not as an enemy.

Be good to her and impress her with your true feelings.

She can become a wonder soldier of the Wei family, not just someone's pet.

Scold!

If Li Qingyi wasn't reborn, she might really be deceived by the fake faces of the Wei family!

Moreover, not everyone in the Wei family wants her to climb the high branches and soar into the sky.

For example, Wei Jin'er.

There are also two rooms and three rooms, they have to rely on Wei Shicheng's snort, and they want to use Li Qingyi to gain benefits, but they may not want the county lord of Yuanheng to gain power, and they will secretly provoke, and the words of "robbing the daughter" before will be fulfilled.

Therefore, there are many contradictions implied in this.

Li Qingyi is caught in the middle of the undercurrent, and if he is negligent, he will be crushed!

At a meal, everyone eats with different thoughts.

When Li Qingyi returned to the Xiangxiang Courtyard, his mind couldn't help but be extremely tired.

Lu Wu brought the tea and said, "Master Wei actually took the initiative to help our Li family get back the title, and he didn't mind the county lord worshipping in the ancestral hall, and this mind can also stop those rumors outside." ”

"A trick like four or two thousand catties is only effective when a person like him makes a weighty move."

"This Master Wei is really as the girl said, he is scheming and powerful."

"Wei Shicheng is not yet forty years old, and he is an official who worships the official department, which can be regarded as a success, but this is not all the credit of the Queen Mother."

Xianglan came over and said: "Then since he has such a great talent, why does he want to use the Queen Mother to gain power?" With his own ability, he also avoided letting people chew his tongue behind his back. ”

Li Qingyi shook his head: "What you see is only on the surface, in fact, the official award of the imperial court is very particular, and the really smooth Qingyun Road is that he was born in Jinshi, entered Hanlin, and lived a hard life for a few years, and then went to the state capital to be a magistrate for a few years, and was transferred back to Beijing to enter the sixth department after two terms." ”

Among the six departments, the official department is the first, and the household department is second.

The officials are responsible for the appointment, dismissal, and transfer of officials, and they have the most real power, and they belong to the role of walking sideways in the DPRK and China.

The household department is in charge of the household registration tax of money and grain, and even the emperor and concubines have to allocate money from the household department first.

"Generally, those who can enter the ministry or the household department are the default cabinet scholars. After another seven or eight years, from the squire to the scholar, if there is no big mistake during the term, you can enter the cabinet to be the elder, which is the most ideal career for the people of the world. I have to say that Wei Shicheng himself is a capable person, otherwise, he would not have been able to win the first place in the first armor back then. But if he only relies on himself to slowly go up, he doesn't know what year and month it will take. ”

Xianglan suddenly realized, "So he needs the Queen Mother's help to dredge, remove obstacles, and let him climb all the way up!" ”

Li Qingyi laughed: "Isn't it?" People have to stay up in Hanlin for ten or eight years, but he only stayed for two years and then went out to Shengzhou to become the prefect, and after returning to Beijing, others had to stay in six departments for seven or eight years, and he only became a secretary in three years. This step is next to the other, and not a single moment of time is wasted. ”

The officials have the right to choose.

All qualified officials who have passed examinations, donations, or the reinstatement of former officials must go to the Ministry of Officials to wait for selection.

Although the emperor retains the final decision on the use of personnel, the list of candidates submitted by the officials is large, and the emperor is not familiar with all the candidates.

This gives the officials a huge amount of room to operate.

Wei Shicheng is escorted by the Queen Mother, and there is no risk of being replaced and calculated, and almost every candidate is ranked at the forefront.

When he entered the ministry himself, he began to gather his own contacts.

So even if the Queen Mother dies, Wei Shicheng's heels will have already stood firm, and there will be no wavering in the slightest.

But if he wants to go any further, he'll have to find another opportunity.

Li Qingyi narrowed his eyes.

In his previous life, Wei Shiwei didn't plan to give her to the great eunuch Qin Zeng.

It was because she injured her left hand when the Xie family temple collapsed, so she had to retreat.

So who did he originally plan to give himself to?

How many princes? Or is it some high-ranking official?

Does he have a plan now?

"Girl, don't get distracted, after a tiring day, the slave will help you unload the hairpin ring and rest early."

Li Qingyi shook his head, "Don't be busy, you go and call all the little girls in the yard in." ”

Lu Wu nodded: "The slave and maid will go." ”

Li Qingyi came to the capital, and the rough mother-in-law was not counted, so he brought two first-class girls from Xianglan and Wu, and two second-class girls from Hanjiang and Shuangshuang.

Old Madam Wei was afraid that she would not have enough manpower, so she temporarily arranged four third-class girls and two rough girls to come over to serve.

A few little girls entered the house and saluted Li Qingyi in a proper manner.

Li Qingyi took a look at it, and said with a smile: "The person picked by the old lady didn't say that I was tired of you in the time I was harassing in the Wei Mansion. ”

The girls said "don't dare", only one of them was particularly energetic, and said with a smile: "Being able to serve a fairy character like Miss Li is a blessing that the slave maid has cultivated for several lifetimes. ”

Li Qingyi raised his eyes to look at her, and a dark fire flashed in his eyes: "You are smart, what is your name." ”

"Slave Cuizhi."

"Your girl has a sweet and tight mouth, I like it very much, I see that this girl is a little similar to you somewhere, so I brought the dress you made before to reward her, and when the time comes, a pair of sisters and flowers will stand in front of me, and it will be pleasing to the eye."

Lu Wu was surprised, but the girl ordered, she did not hesitate, and brought her newly made clothes to Cuizhi, "This is the material that the girl rewarded at the beginning of spring, I haven't made it yet, you can take it and wear it." ”

Cui Zhi saw that the clothes were really similar to those worn by Lu Wu, the color and style were not much different, and the dark patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs were a little different, "Thank you girl for the reward, the slave likes it very much." ”

Li Qingyi smiled: "Go and change it to show me." ”

Cuizhi responded with a smile and hurriedly went to change, after all, she also liked this dress tightly, and she hadn't worn such a good material yet!

The little girl's movements were very fast, and after a while, she walked in in her new clothes and stood beside Lu Wu, her face and body shape were somewhat similar.

Li Qingyi smiled, "Not bad." ”

Cuizhi was very happy, and was about to quit, when Xianglan came in and said, "Girl, there is a girl from the third lady's side, saying that the Maoxiangyuan is in a hurry, and the curtain cushion in the house has not had time to be replaced, so let the girl assign a caring person to choose the color and style, so that she can make it for the girl to change as soon as possible." ”

In the past, the head of Yuanheng County didn't plan to treat Li Qingyi carefully, so although there was nothing missing in this Xiangyuan Courtyard, many things were half-old.

At this time, Li Qingyi won Wei Shicheng's attention, and the treatment was naturally different.

Moreover, the second lady and the third lady have each obtained a part of the stewardship, which is on the rise at this time.

Lu Wu said, "Girl, go slave and maid." ”

Li Qingyi shook his head: "You are not familiar with this mansion, don't bump into anyone back and forth, just let Cuizhi go, I don't have anything to find fault with those things, just be light." ”

Cuizhi had just won the reward, and was in a hurry to behave, and curtled his knees and said, "Rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely do a good job." ”

Li Qingyi smiled: "Go ahead." ”

Cuizhi put on new clothes and went happily.

Seeing her go out, Li Qingyi's smile fell little by little......

At the gate of the courtyard, the little girl sent by the third lady saw Cuizhi come out, and saw the clothes she was wearing, and said in surprise: "Ah, Sister Cuizhi, this dress is really beautiful." ”

"It was rewarded by Miss Li."

The little girl said enviously: "Miss Li's shot is really generous, this dress is almost the same as what ordinary girls wear." ”

Cuizhi smiled, she didn't want to come at first, after all, Li Qingyi was the child born to the county lord and the man in the forefront, who knows what the old lady's attitude was in private, at this time she felt that this was a good errand, at least she could get some benefits in front of her.

"Let's go, it's getting a little dark, and I'll have to talk back to Miss Li in a while!"

The two went all the way to the third lady, who was busy reading the account book, and heard that someone from the Xiangyuan was coming, so she asked the most intimate housekeeper mother around her to take her to choose a pattern.

Cuizhi thought about what Li Qingyi was used to, picked out a few elegant and plain things, and walked back.

It was already dark, and he could barely see the road clearly, and Cuizhi hurried back, not realizing that there was a figure behind him.
