After being entangled, Li Kui was puzzled: "Father-in-law Hao, Brother Hao, what are you trying to do?" Wouldn't it be easier to find a nephew in your own clan to succeed in the house? ”

But as long as there is a way, Hao Sui will not choose the evil path of asking for a son with a lot of money. But the problem is that there are no good people in his clan, and several nephews are all lazy and lazy, bastards who provoke right and wrong all day long, and even Hao Sui, who has a very low moral standard, can't even look down on Hao Sui, who has very low moral standards, so it can be seen what kind of goods they are. Hao Sui said gloomily: "The clan is full of white-eyed wolves. Brother is counting on you, if Renjie is willing, go to my brother's house tonight. ”

Li Kui was a little moved, Hao Sui's wife and concubine, it is said that they wiped out all the Oiran in the teaching workshop back then, playing and singing, and their appearance was outstanding.

A friend's wife can't play.

The ninja's mouth was dry and restless, and Li Kui still felt that he couldn't be sorry for his friend.

Some of the words are so clear that everyone's faces don't look good. Hao casually said that his nephews were all white-eyed wolves, but Li Kui guessed that this was probably not the case.

Hao Sui said that he was not too young to be young, and he was already half an old man in the Great Song Dynasty. At his age, it makes sense to tease Sun. But the wives and concubines of Hao Sui's mansion are still young.

Where would he dare to bring those shameless nephews to the mansion, in case ...... If it is said that in case of ......, the firewood is dry, wouldn't it be a family scandal. Therefore, Hao Sui did not dare to choose a clansman at all, and could only choose a path that was even more humiliating for him.

Faced with Hao Sui's pitiful appearance, a crippled man, no, it is a husband's difficult road to green heart, Li Kui out of sympathy, he can't bear to refuse, but the problem is that he is a jinshi in the same department, and I am afraid he will not agree to such a ridiculous thing. Li Kui touched his chin and fell into deep thought......

After a long time, Li Kui, who was troubled by curiosity, asked very cheaply: "Brother Hao, aren't you sad?" ”

"It's uncomfortable." After speaking, Hao Sui added: "The heart is like a knife!" ”

Hao Sui smiled sadly, but showed a smile that was even uglier than crying, and his tone was very gentle, and he was as dejected as if he was resigned to his fate. Raise your head, try not to let the tears of humiliation stay from your cheeks, everyone knows that although eunuchs are inhumane, but they are very loyal to their feelings, the Great Song Dynasty has been a country for more than a hundred years, and there has never been such a thin thing as divorce after the eunuch married his wife, which shows the eunuch's tolerance for the family. How many hard-working mandarin ducks, among the red walls and green tiles in the palace, there are also many martyrs.

Hao Sui said in a sad but categorical tone: "Compared to the heirs, any humiliation and discomfort is worth it!" ”

In this regard, Li Kui admired Hao Sui's courage.

But as a friend, Li Kui had to give Hao Sui a reminder, his thoughts were a little unrealistic: "Brother Hao, you are too excited now, some things are not well thought out, wait until you go back and think about it." But there are some things that I must tell you in advance, as a friend, lest you resent me in the future, and watch you jump into the ditch, but do not hold you. ”

"Renjie, you are really a good brother!" Hao Sui said emotionally.

For eunuchs, they don't believe in the nonsense of exchanging sincerity for sincerity since the day of castration. Of course, there are also those who believe, but those unlucky people will not live to the end of their lives, and they will destroy everyone.

After Li Kui considered it, he whispered to Hao Sui: "Brother Hao, although your ideas are good, most of the eunuchs from Jinshi are quick to think, and as long as they are not old, they are all handsome. But ......"

As soon as he said this, Hao Sui inadvertently glanced at Li Kui, with a confused look in his eyes.

Li Kui understands this look too well, and he said in his heart: The master is trying his best to help you, but you still dislike the master? Outrageous!

If it weren't for Hao Sui's future to be very useful to him, Li Kui might turn around and leave, even if Hao Sui knelt down and begged him, Hao Sui's favor, he didn't want to help.

Holding back the displeasure in his heart, Li Kui continued: "But have you thought about it, you will give your wife and concubine to the new science and technology scholars as concubines, even if you say that it will last for a year, what you originally thought was to let your wife and concubine get pregnant, and then take them back to the mansion, right?" ”

Hao Sui nodded quickly, what Li Kui said was exactly what he thought, even Hao Sui had to admire Li Kui, he was really a Jinshi, and his brain was good. Hao Sui's plan to seek children with a lot of money was actually pondered before Yan Yanlu set off. He knew that after he returned to the capital, he would definitely be promoted, and it was impossible for the emperor to transfer him back to the capital from Shaanxi under the condition that he had made meritorious contributions.

This is a foolproof plan that Hao Suicai came up with without sleeping all night.

Li Kui guessed what he thought in a blink of an eye, no wonder people could enter the ranks, he could only castrate and enter the palace. Sure enough, no one is the same, some people are born rich and noble, just like Li Kui. To say that Hao Sui's origin of Li Kui is really very clear. Everyone close to the emperor, the Imperial City Division will send someone to investigate. Li Kui's past was once let go in front of Hao Sui's bookcase. It is precisely because he knows Li Kui's past that Hao Sui feels that Li Kui is extraordinary.

Li Kui's start was worse than him. Not long after he was born, his father died. The mother pulled the Li Kui brothers and sent them out for apprenticeship when the brother was a little older. And when his mother arrived at Li Kui, he grew up a little and was no longer able to support Li Kui. Li Kui, who was a teenager, began to hunt alone in the mountains and forests to support himself. Compared with Li Kui, Hao Sui is also a person from the capital, as long as there is a way, he can always live.

But why did he get into the palace in a daze?

And Li Kui was admitted to the rank of scholar at a young age?

When I was not a teenager, I heard that the palace recruited people, as long as you enter the palace, you can eat and drink spicy food, and you will enjoy happiness compared to being a rich man. Then he didn't sleep all night excitedly, and ran to the palace before dawn the next day. Unexpectedly, the knife before entering the palace almost ended his life. And after entering the palace, it was not as good as he thought. What does this mean?

I was stupid and naïve, and I was deceived and rushed to deliver it to the door. is also ten years old, Li Kui can support his family and study, and he stupidly thinks that being an official eunuch is to enjoy happiness, this is the gap.

The reason why smart people are smart is that they are thoughtful and far-sighted. And his brain is in front of Li Kui, I'm afraid that even if he feeds the wolf, the wolf may not be able to eat.

Thinking of this, Hao Sui's gaze became even hotter when he saw Li Kui, expecting that Li Kui's perfect strategy for him would be better, and he would be satisfied.

"Renjie, as you think, that's what I planned." Hao Sui said proudly, and then thought that this was not something to be happy about, Hao Sui's smile came and went quickly.

Speaking of which, any man, don't talk about men, just talk about people! If you give your favorite to others, you will feel uncomfortable, let alone a wife and concubine?

Hao Sui is actually hesitating between heirs and dignity, on the one hand, his distorted self-esteem makes him suffer more than ordinary people; On the other hand, his sense of urgency for his heirs forced him to choose such a strategy.

But then Li Kui's words made Hao Sui shocked: "But your idea has a fatal flaw." ”

"What?"

Hao Sui was so frightened that his legs were weak, his face was gone, the humiliation in the ninja's heart, the plan to borrow his wife and ask for children that he came up with after tossing and turning all night, there was a fatal loophole, if he implemented it according to his plan and didn't discuss it with Li Kui, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water in vain?

Looking at Li Kui pitifully, Hao Sui's tone was full of tears, and tears fell down: "Renjie, why is my brother so miserable?" ”

Li Kui couldn't pick up these words, so he had to gently pat Hao Sui's shoulder a few times, and said in a low voice: "Brother Hao, you don't have to be too sad, isn't there still me?" ”

"Renjie, do you want to stick a knife in your brother's ribs?" Hao Sui was excited, although Li Kui's appearance did not meet his expectations, mainly because he was darker, but his wife and concubine were white! Neutralize it twice, and it seems that you can get by. What's more, Li Kui is just a little darker, the key is that he is in good health, and his body is so good that people feel that he is not a human being. The key person is the Jinshi and the first, and the person who can read the scholar and the first, isn't that the dragon and phoenix among the people? If Li Kui is really willing and let him succeed in asking for a son, it is not impossible for Hao Sui to give half of the family property to Li Kui.

Looking at Hao Sui's expression, Li Kui secretly said in his heart: "It's bad, isn't this trapping yourself?" ”

He hurriedly explained: "Brother Hao, you should know that those who are admitted to the Jinshi will not be short of money in the future, how can they ruin their reputation because of a little benefit from you?" ”

"That's not right, I don't say it, they don't say it, who else in the world will know?" Hao Sui said stubbornly.

"When the child grows up and discovers your identity, he will inevitably ask his mother who his biological father is. Do you think that the mother of the child will not know who the father of her child is compared to you? ”

Hao Sui wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Kui raising his hand: "Have you thought about it, in case the child wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, can you stop it?" Besides, those who have passed the Jinshi examination are all the best among those who have entered the officialdom, who wants to leave such a stain on their bodies that can be attacked by Taiwanese officials? ”

"But I raised this child! Besides, Renjie, in the first few years of Jinshi Junior High School, if you don't have the help of your family, life will be as difficult as it will be. Don't talk about it far away, just say that your uncle, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian is now a Zhizhou, and he should be much more generous in terms of money. But I know that Qin Guan is still accepting your funding, otherwise it would be difficult for him to support a large family. I also have to study for my son, which is a lot of money. ”

"Renjie, you have a different status, and you rarely attend banquets. But if a jinshi who has just entered the officialdom has no one to feast on him, he will not be able to go far in his career. Not to mention treats, just to eat, don't you need to buy a decent outfit? Go out and hire a carriage, follow it for a long time, and the accommodation is better. These all cost money. However, the new science and technology scholars, not to mention those who already have dispatch officers, those who only have teaching positions, only have 16 yuan per month, and this amount of money is not enough to rent a passable house in the capital. ”

"I lent my wives and concubines to them, and then I gave them back the money to rent a house and pay for expenses. If my wife and concubine are pregnant, they can still get a sum of money, and they don't want such benefits? ”

Hao Sui said a lot of words in anger, with tears in his eyes.

Li Kui was silent for a long time before he spoke: "You don't understand the pride of a scholar!" ”

Unexpectedly, Hao Sui, who was complaining all over his stomach, was silent after listening to Li Kui's words, and then said distressedly: "I just want my Hao family's heirs to follow the path of scholars in the future, why is it so difficult?" ”

"You're a fan of the authorities, and you just thought of Jinshi. They were court officials, and they were the elite of scholars. If they make such a deal with you for a little financial benefit, how can they get through the difficult road of the imperial examination? ”

"If they become the target of the imperial historians, one moral turpitude is enough to make them lose their official position. How could they put themselves in such a place of no return, for the sake of a small benefit? After ten years of hard work, they want to be the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty, not the people who want to be the Great Song Cowherd! Li Kui said bitterly.

"Cowherd, what does Cowherd mean?"

"If you don't understand, you don't need to."

Hao Sui hated and resented, thinking that Li Kui was an attack on his physical defects, and said something that made Li Kui stunned: "A man is really not a thing!" ”

Well, Li Kui felt that there was nothing wrong with Hao Sui saying this, he was a magnanimous person with elegant sentiments. The key is to do your best and be faithful in your dealings with others. This is not what he said, but Zi Xia, one of the ten sages under Confucius. Li Kui is a scholar, and if he wants to follow the path of the sages, he cannot be half-hearted.

"Brother Hao, you have chosen the wrong path. Thinking that such obscure things can be unnoticed by people is really too good for people's hearts. In fact, there is a safer road, but you don't think of it. ”

"Renjie, say it quickly!"

"It's too learning!"

"Too learned?" After thinking about it, Hao Sui's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice: "Do you still send it?" ”

"What to send, you also know that there are no less than 100 jinshi in the imperial examination every year in Taixue, which is definitely not as good as sending jinshi directly. But have you thought about it, the students are not very old. And the looks are also passable, not to mention that they are in their prime, but your wife and concubine will never choose to be a guest in the room with a sloppy appearance and ugly appearance, right? ”

"No, I can't!"

After Hao Sui finished speaking, he immediately shut up. When he said this, he felt uncomfortable again, as if his wives and concubines were all daughters who attracted bees and butterflies. But Li Kui's advice to him is indeed very manipulative. Not to mention, many students have no money, but they are very lonely to study. Accompanied by cold windows, but you can't always shout: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, right?" ”

It's unrealistic.

Li Kui whispered in Hao Sui's ear with added vinegar, and Hao Sui's face was red for a while and white for a while. Li Kui also instructed Hao Sui: "Don't tell me what I gave you, I won't admit it." ”

"Don't worry, my brother came out of the palace, and his mouth was tight! But in this way, isn't my brother back to the old way? Hao Sui was puzzled.

Li Kui said angrily: "With this operation, does your wife and concubine not know who the child's father is?" ”

Definitely! Li Kui's dignified Jinshi and the first genius, can come up with a plan full of loopholes for Hao Sui to take medicine?

No, you can't.

He's not the kind of person who just sets fires.

But Hao Sui was still not satisfied, he felt that he had opened a checkbox near Taixue and asked his wife and concubine to pick up guests, this kind of thing was a bit shameless and impatient.

Li Kui said bewildermently: "Besides, there are many benefits of too many students, too many students are young, they are vigorous, and their bodies are strong." Compared with many students who have only passed the Jinshi in their forties and fifties, they don't know how many times stronger. Although not all of them are reading seeds, they can always catch a few treasures by casting a wide net. If you succeed once, you'll earn it. ”

Hao Sui was actually half-pushing, half-doing, and already wanted to act according to Li Kui's strategy. But the problem is that the words made him blush a little when he said it. If you really want to do what Li Kui said, wouldn't you become a turtle who opens a hook bar to welcome guests? Li Kui's idea for Hao Sui was to rely on a hidden point near Taixue, but with a very high style Goolan Flower Workshop, and then let Hao Sui send his wife and concubine to the Flower Shop Goolan to pick up customers, as long as the operation is done properly, the luck is not too bad, because it should be able to meet Hao Sui's urgent needs. Just doing this, for Hao Sui, the pressure in his heart seems to be a little greater. But the problem is that even if Hao Sui's wives and concubines are pregnant, they don't know who the child is, and they don't have a chance to turn their elbows out.

Between the twists, Hao Sui was still a little unable to wipe his face, and in the midst of the entanglement, he asked Li Kui a stunned question: "Renjie, brother is worried...... Maybe it's unfounded, but my brother can't help but think about it. Renjie, don't you think that too many students stay in the place of the hook all day long, and it seems that it is very bad to read? ”

At the beginning, Li Kui was still very disgusted with Hao Sui's problem, and you still dare to dislike the scumbag?

But after thinking about it, Li Kui found that Hao Sui was very smart, but he was smart and didn't use it in the right place. As far as the advice he put forward can be said to be insightful and very insightful.

Reading is good, who is going to mess with flowers? Indulge in flowers?

Not that there aren't, but very few.

Even the Su Shi brothers, when they were young, before they were in the middle of the jinshi, their lives were very boring, and they either studied or studied all day long, and in terms of their hard work, they were even worse than others. Because they know that what they give temporarily will be multiplied in the future. Heaven rewards hard work, and the emperor lives up to his heart. Occasionally, I can participate in a cultural meeting, and it is like a festival. If you go to the hook bar, Su Xun hopes that Jackie Chan's ruthlessness will kill the two brothers.

After Su Shi was admitted to the Jinshi, Su Shi revealed his true dissolute temperament more and more, but that was after studying.

Among the students, most of the students who like to go to the fence are the children of official eunuchs, they can't study, and there is the road of Yin Guan, so they don't worry about not being able to become officials in the future. On the contrary, those who are talented and good at reading will die in Taixue and be unmoved by things outside the window.

But Hao Sui's problem, Li Kui has a way: "It's simple, just prostitute for nothing, but if you want to assess your literary talent, those who pass the test can not only hold a beauty, but also eat and drink for nothing, what do you think?" ”

"This ......" Hao Sui smiled bitterly: "I also asked Renjie to help me think of some topics, my brother just has the heart, but he doesn't have the strength!" ”

Li Kui waved his hand and said briskly: "This thing is easy to do, just make some pairs!" ”

Many years later, Li Kui thought of Hao Sui, and he still couldn't help but mutter: "Hao Sui, brother is sorry for you!" ”
