Nie Cuicui was annoyed, she just said: "My feet stink!" "That's it.

Later, she also washed Li Kui's feet and helped scrub her body, but what about Li Kui? Eat dry and wipe clean, and the first thing you do when you wake up is to be careful and take revenge.

Of course, Li Kui's careful eyes are not the biggest trouble for her, what she is worried about is what Li Kui will do with her?

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-nine."

"That's eighteen, why is it younger than me?"

Nie Cuicui can only be angry and her chest bulges, and she can only bear it alive if she crushes her silver teeth, what can she do, she was sold by an unscrupulous cousin at the age of twelve, she is in a foreign land, she has no relatives, she is just a weak woman, what can she do?

I had to tell my experience and quietly waited for Li Kui to speak.

Li Kui didn't think much about it, just asked, "Do you want to stay?" ”

Nie Cuicui looked up in shock and looked at Li Kui's broad back, she didn't expect everything to be so simple. It was so simple that it felt a little unrealistic to her.

Of course, Li Kui's doing this is also related to the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, chastity was not as important as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were many women who remarried. There are two queens, and later she became the queen mother, and her power leaned towards the government and the opposition.

The three strong women in China, Lu Hou, Wu Zetian, and Liu E of the Northern Song Dynasty. Compared with her wrists and talents, Liu E does not lose to Wu Zetian, but she is not poisonous enough. According to the folk ranking, she can at least rank in front of Empress Lu and behind Wu Zetian. If Liu E's methods weren't gentler, the Great Song Dynasty would also have a female emperor.

How could the people regard a woman's chastity as more important than her life?

What's more, there was also a farce of two prime ministers competing to marry widows in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, one of which was the great-ancestor of the Empress Dowager Xiang Xiang, Xiang Minzhong. This is still marrying a wife, and marrying back is the status of a wife, not a concubine. It can be seen that in the Great Song Dynasty, women can not be happy from the beginning. Men also don't care too much if a woman is married. On the contrary, after the prosperity of science, women's chastity will be paid more and more attention, and hundreds of years later, it will even reach the point of persecution of religion.

Li Kui doesn't care, Nie Cuicui is at most a woman with many concubines in the back house, and even concubines are not considered concubines, so there will be pressure on him?

On the contrary, he wanted to go to the workshop with a critical eye several times, but he was delayed by mundane things, which made him feel regretful. After becoming an official, you need to consider the wind evaluation, and you have to hold back.

Now, there is an extra woman by her side, and this woman is also pleasing to the eye, so she is also a beauty. For Li Kui, he finally doesn't need Ruan Xiaoer's idiot to serve, he can't even comb his hair, he can only mess around, and stick a hairpin in his head to fool the master's little guy, Li Kui didn't want it for a long time.

It's good to have a woman by your side! At least life will be much more exquisite, he doesn't like to be sloppy, but the problem of men sometimes being lazy is even more desperate.

As for moral cleanliness, it is the pickling thing he Li Kui did...... It seems that when it comes to morality, there are very few, right?

Especially Li Kui is still a person who is not excited, Hao Sui thinks that he has put Li Kui together, if he doesn't make up for it, is he still Li Kui? Simply, he closed his eyes regardless of it, and did everything in his hand, so that Hao Sui was dumbfounded, right?

It's just that Nie Cuicui's matter is a little troublesome, and the trouble is not her ex-husband.

This woman's real ex-husband is only one. is like Qian Zhou, who used her as a maid, because she was too young and suffered at her cousin's house, she was thin and dry at that time, and it was impossible to use her as a wife; As for Blacksmith Wang, he is just a wasted person, and his days with Blacksmith Wang are short, only one or two months in total. The only one who can really be regarded as a husband is Shi Jin, who has studied for a few years, but he has no fame and can only do things for the business. And it is precisely that the relationship between this person and Nie Cuicui is the cleanest person on the ground.

Counting it, there's no trouble staying there. The concubine is a person who is not even qualified to share the family property, and in the back house, sometimes even the servants are not taken very seriously, and the concubine will not be mistaken for the hostess. Li Kui is not afraid of the restlessness of the back house. simply nodded and admitted, but to his surprise, Nie Cuicui still had a secret secret.

But he can't manage this matter, no matter how long his elbow is, he can't control the ground on Hebei West Road. The Nie family is a Yongxing soldier, and Mizhi belongs to the territory of Yinzhou and belongs to the Yongxing Military Road. This is a saying in the early years, and later because the Yongxing Army was split into six roads, the status was much worse all of a sudden. Yinzhou is still a border state capital, and now it is still occupied by Western Xia. The Nie family belongs to the kind of unlucky people who can't go back to their hometown.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Nie family to be an official on Yongxing Military Road, and it is normal to go to Hebei East Road to be an official. If it was on Yongxing Military Road, Li Kui might really have a way to investigate. But Li Kui is not optimistic about Nie's father's affairs, and it is clear that he is an abandoned son with a black cauldron, and if he really investigates it deeply, most of them will not be able to get rid of it. Besides, no matter how powerful Li Kui is, it is just a general judgment, and he can't control the head of the Guangxin Army on Hebei West Road.

If he were the imperial history, it would be easier, but unfortunately he is not.

Li Kui immediately admitted that he couldn't do it, and in some things, Li Kui's uprightness was surprising.

How can he say that he has also had a love of fish and water with Nie Cuicui, he should always coax people, right? But he was good, he didn't even think much about it, and said bluntly: "I can't help your father!" Are you still ready to stay? ”

"I ......" Nie Cuicui stared at Li Kui who refused in surprise, and then asked softly, "Why did the adults refuse?" ”

"I can't do it! You see, I am an official in the northwest, but I have to take care of the trouble of the east and west roads of the river, who will take me seriously? Besides, if I really want to be a court official above the fourth grade, maybe there will be a turnaround. But alas, I'm not; If you are in the secretary province, I may be able to help you, but the lord was kicked out last year; Besides, the armory is a hornet's nest, stabbing a rod and causing a lot of trouble, unless the head is a little harder, or else he will not dare to accept it. Besides, your father's business may not be so simple. ”

"Don't you dare?"

"I don't care, it's just a mood. Anyway, I'm afraid I won't be able to help in ten years, if you don't want to gamble, why don't you go to another house? ”

Li Kui touched his chin and said that the affairs of men and women were like visiting the door, and there was no psychological pressure at all. Anyway, when he followed Su Shi, he saw a lot, and the ancestor was able to wear the carmine in his head, and when he went home and saw his old wife and concubine, he didn't dare to say that he was out hunting wild food, and he didn't spend any money. I was stunned and said that I had crashed into the carriage shed, and it hurt very much, and I had to rub it.

Besides, the matter between men and women is either love at first sight, or they never give up.

Nie Cuicui can't stand these two points. It can't be said that Li Kui is ruthless and a scumbag.

Nie Cuicui had green tendons on the back of her hands, and she grabbed the corners of the quilt with both hands, only then did she find that she was a weak woman, and she wanted to wash away the grievances on her father, so she could only count on Li Kui, even if the other party didn't agree to anything, she was probably a thin lover. But Li Kui was her only hope, biting her plump lips, and asked delicately: "If I want to stay, will the master drive me away?" ”

"No!"

"Won't Madame come here?"

"You think too much, it's not the turn of a woman to call the shots!"

Li Kui still has this responsibility, besides, if one more person eats and spends money, can he eat poor? A trace of loss flashed in Nie Cuicui's beautiful eyes, and then she smiled at Li Kuiyan, and then struggled to get up and comb Li Kui's hair. Finally, he forcibly tidied up Li Kui's clothes and sent him out, and closed his beautiful eyes in a daze next to the couch. The corners of his mouth floated with a warm aftertaste, and he murmured: "What an iron cow!" ”

On the contrary, it was Li Kui, who went out in high spirits, Ruan Xiaoer followed behind Li Kui, and discovered Li Kui's strange appearance several times. asked Li Kui softly: "Young Master, do you really plan to keep her?" ”

"It's not important, the important thing is that Young Master Ben is about to let you serve as the young leader of the beggar gang, if you don't leave her, you have to find someone to serve by your side. You said that you, practicing all day and night, looking for people to be unlucky, you pondered, how long has it been since you washed my feet? ”

Li Kui's resentment was very heavy, and he sprayed violently at Ruan Xiaoer.

Ruan Xiaoer hesitated and said, "Young Master, if you don't wash it, I won't wash it either." ”

said that sloppiness is shared with joys and sorrows, and can still use such a straightforward tone, which shows that Ruan Xiaoer's guy is already very person-like in Baizhang Village, and over time, he is also a demon king like Li Qing.

There is an extra woman in the family, which is quite new to Li Kui, and at the same time, he feels the need to make a purchase.

Food, drink, and clothing, the business name of Yan'an Mansion is simply too far behind the capital, and it is even worse than Yangzhou and Yingzhou, where Li Kui lived. But fortunately, the service industry of the Great Song Dynasty is simply first-class, even if there are fewer goods, I finally bought a lot, and it is not expensive. Even if the shop is not available for the time being, they can leave a list of purchases, and they will have them delivered when the next delivery is made.

In the next half a month, Li Kui lived in a simple house.

He didn't show up, but he turned a person around in a hurry.

Nie Shiqu was placed in the regimental training camp, and even the people with Duanwangfu were placed in this place. said that he was waiting for his life, but in fact, he was putting people into custody so as not to leak the news. But what he was even more anxious about was why his sister had no news at all after entering the back office?

This made Li Kui's cheap brother-in-law Nie Shiqu anxious.

Finally, the brocade transported from Shu was sent to Fushi City. Only then did he have the opportunity to bring a letter from the palace to Li Kui. It's a pity that Li Kui was not there, and Nie Shiqu was led to the back office by Ruan Xiaoer. When he saw his sister again, Nie Shiqu was a little stunned, it was only a few days, and his sister was out of the sea of suffering, but people stood in the sun, giving people a radiant and inspiring look, as if they had changed people, and their whole body exuded brilliance.

Although her skin was white and her appearance was good, she belonged to the mainstream beautiful young woman of the non-Great Song Dynasty.

But now?

The whole person's complexion is radiant and shiny, and the tender ground can pinch out the water.

Nie Shiqu looked at Nie Cuicui in a daze, and asked himself: Is this still his own sister?

Of course, there are also a lot of colors under the dress of silk and satin, jewelry and rouge. It's much more eye-catching than the gray robe in the blacksmith's shop.

"Sister, have you taken down Master Li?"

"Where have you been lately, why didn't you come to see me?" Nie Cuicui rolled her eyes, and she didn't know what to say about her younger brother. You came up with the idea, but in the end, you were the first to run out and suspect her, what an eyeless kid.

Nie Shiqu smiled bitterly, since Li Kui decided to follow him to the Western Xia country, he had been sealing the news, and he was not even allowed to wander on the street.

There are two other people who know Li Kui's decision, one is Hao Sui, Hao Sui believes that Li Kui can't take a concubine at all, this thing looks very stupid, the eunuchs know the benefits of having a group of wives and concubines, but Li Kui doesn't know and despises him!

So, the big-hearted Hao Sui didn't take it seriously.

As for the other person, he is the official of Yan'an Mansion and Jianzhong, he is a person who can discuss big things, Li Kui also knows this person's ability, even if he leaves Yan'an Mansion, the party people call over, and it is really not easy to take advantage of this person. Since Chong Jianzhong is a person who can discuss big things, he is naturally also a person who can keep secrets.

Therefore, Li Kui is going to spy on the news of Western Xia, as long as he controls the people Nie Shiqu and the people he contacts, there is no possibility that the news will leak.

"Sister, what kind of elixir have you taken, as if you have changed into a different person?"

Nie Cuicui's face showed shame, and she covered her face and said with satisfaction: "Is there one?" ”

"Sister, you have settled here, did Master Li say how to help our family wash away their grievances?" Nie Shiqu saw that Li Kui was not there, and it was impossible for him to tell his sister the purpose of their trip. I was just nervous when I asked about it.

Nie Cuicui was a little unsure, and wondered: "Although he is willing to keep me, he didn't promise me anything, which makes me uncertain, what is his plan?" ”

Nie Shiqu breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression eased a lot: "An official eunuch of Lord Li's status definitely can't be full of promises." Scholars pay attention to what they say they will do, and they will never boast about what they can't do. If Master Li patted his chest and said that this matter was on him, I would be worried that my sister would be deceived. If there is no promise, it is more likely to help. Of course, my sister can follow Master Li, no matter how you say it, she will earn it. ”

"Looking for a fight!" was said to be embarrassed, Nie Cuicui said stiffly.

"It's a pity that the adult's time as an official is too short, and the official position is not enough to affect the Yushitai, maybe in a few years, he can really wash away the stain on his father and return his old man's innocence." Nie Shiqu comforted himself.

It's just that these comforts can help Nie Shiqu, but they can't help Nie Cuicui.

She actually has another layer of worry, it seems that Li Kui heard the news of her father's grievances, and reacted very coldly. was so cold that it gave her the feeling that Li Kui didn't seem to be indignant at all about what happened to her father, but rather had a kind of pity. It's like the wretched man must have something to hate, not to cause trouble, but to blame.

Corruption in the army, or ordnance, if there is no problem at all with the warehouse supervisor, how did these weapons get out of the warehouse, and how did they leave the military area?

Isn't that self-deception?

Government Residence.

Li Kui already knew the news that the goods of the caravan in Duanwang's Mansion had been prepared, and he was not even later than Nie Shiqu knew about it.

Today's Li Kui is in Yan'an Mansion, and he is like a fish in water. In terms of civil officials, without Lu Huiqing, this place is his home. In terms of military generals, the head of the military generals of Yan'an Mansion is Zhang Chuan's father Zhang Yu. In the first battle of Jinmingzhai, Li Kui led the troops to save their father and son, just this kindness, I am afraid that the Zhang family father and son will not be able to pay it off in their lives. Even a disciple of Jiangmen like Chong Jianzhong, who has a deep influence in the northwest, cannot be compared with Li Kui in Yan'an Mansion. After all, it has been more than ten years since the leader of the breeder, Species, died of illness, and in the following years, the breeder has not been able to appear a talent who is in charge of his own. The family's influence is gradually in decline.

What's more, Li Kui's performance on the battlefield convinced all the officers and men of the Western Army.

Other civil officials to command them may be disobedient, but Li Kui, with a war, established his transcendent position in Yan'an Mansion.

Hao Sui and Chong Jianzhong were a little puzzled, Li Kui disappeared for several days, and suddenly summoned them, did something big happen?

Few people from the yamen in Yan'an Mansion came to report the case, and there were many people in the main army, and general matters were handled in the barracks, so there was no need to trouble the yamen. In addition, there are wars every year, the fields are barren, and the summer and autumn harvests of agricultural taxes are basically pretending. Basically, the tax is only commercial tax, and the people in the yamen are very idle.

But Li Kui looked at Chong Jianzhong and asked first: "If I go to Western Xia, can I guarantee that the news will be hidden?" ”

"Xiaguan will do his best." Chong Jianzhong didn't dare to say it to death. But all Li Kui wants is his attitude.

Hao Sui, who was on the side, sat on the chair and shook his spirit, and asked Li Kui nervously: "Renjie, didn't you say that you only went after taking a concubine?" ”

"I've already accepted it!" Li Kui had a straight face, but his eyebrows showed smugness, the man is so happy to do things.

"Who? No, who did it for you? ”

Hao Sui's focus is always on the side details. This kind of performance made Chong Jianzhong shake his head secretly, he is not as simple as Hao Sui, a person like Li Kui, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dragon and a phoenix among people, if he makes a decision, how can he change it easily. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you will only turn back if you hit the ground and break the bloodstream.

Besides, going to Western Xia to spy on the enemy, even Chong Jianzhong was quite yearning, but he didn't dare to act as recklessly as Li Kui.

Li Kui pursed his lips and said indifferently: "Father-in-law, you know!" ”

"Acquaintance?" Hao Sui's eyes bulged suddenly, and he pointed at Li Kui and trembled: "Is that the prisoner?" ”

"What kind of prisoner, is it good that people are innocent." Hearing this, Li Kui was not happy, and stood up to defend himself. Then he said: "Besides, do you have to entrust someone to this matter?" I can do it myself. ”

Of course, Li Kui can handle the paperwork of accepting concubines, and he doesn't even need to come forward, Li Bangyan can go to Fushi County for a trip, and he can handle things safely, who dares to stop the master from letting him take a concubine?

At this time, Hao Sui was completely panicked, Li Kui was the emperor's quasi-brother-in-law, the quasi-brother-in-law of the virtuous concubine, this product actually accepted a married woman as a concubine, or before the wedding, not to mention anything else, the name of lust must be dead. If this is rumored to the palace, the unlucky one will definitely not be Li Kui, but him Hao Sui. Who made Hao Sui not optimistic about Li Kui, didn't this make Concubine Xian Niangniang lose face with him?

If it is not good to accept anyone, it is necessary to accept a wife.

But the raw rice has already been cooked, even if Hao Sui wants to beat the mandarin ducks, he doesn't have the ability, and in a hurry, he shouted sadly: "Your Majesty, the slave didn't look at Li Kui, and the slave is guilty!" ”
