During the days when the Military Command Bureau was dominated by the harem, Cai Jing was as depressed as a lost dog. Fortunately, the palace finally stopped tossing, and his talent was useless.

Since Li Kui said that the glass mirror is the biggest opportunity to change the makeup of women in the Great Song Dynasty, then this object can only be a woman who spends money like water.

What kind of glass mirror does the old woman who washes clothes on the street want?

There are no more than three kinds of people who can afford glass mirrors: noblewomen, including not only the powerful ladies of the court, but also the wives and concubines of officials' families; The second is the wife and concubine of the wealthy merchants. These two kinds of women can't show their heads, and selling to them can only gain popularity in a small circle, and the promotion of glass mirrors is too slow, which is not in line with Cai Jing's intentions. Of course, Cai Jing also has difficulties, there is no female salesman in the Military Command Bureau, and it is not suitable for him to go to someone's back house, and this sales channel is blocked.

Then there is the last kind of woman left, the priest's fang, the most famous oiran and the top card in the hook bar.

If these women are in the future, they will be able to beat all the first-line stars in the entertainment industry.

The graceful dance rhyme is just a small skill; has a long charm and singing skills, and it is not elegant. Good at music, able to improvise and sing, and even compose music, this is a bit interesting.

What's even more powerful is that the talents of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and poetry are just extra bargaining chips for achieving 'everyone'. Beauty, talent, and double uniqueness are the only ones who can gain great fame.

From Li Kui's point of view, he has a charming appearance, a graceful figure, can sing and dance, can also tea ceremony, calligraphy, and can recite poetry, talented...... Such a woman would have been extinct a long time ago, okay.

Such a woman, whether in the minds of men in the Great Song Dynasty or in the minds of women, has a strong appeal.

Cai Jing thinks that using the Oiran of the teaching workshop as a gimmick will definitely make the men of Kaifeng Mansion reveal their true form. To this end, he specially prepared a strengthened version of several mirrors, ready to be peddled.

It stands to reason that Cai Jing should have sent it, but he didn't send it...... The infighting in the palace made his heart ache to the point of suffocation, and then he sent the finished product, he was afraid that his heart would not be able to stand it.

The Jiaofang was under the jurisdiction of the Inner Government, and the income was basically the emperor's small treasury.

The steward of the natural workshop is a lieutenant official, and now the steward of the workshop is a young eunuch in the palace, who is not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Cai Jing felt that it was a little inappropriate to discuss with such a kid. So he simply found the boss of the lieutenant official, the eunuch Hao Sui. did not say to give it to Hao Sui, but to let Hao Sui be the first dealer of the glass mirror in the capital. That is, Cai Jing gave the mirror to Hao Sui on credit, and after Hao Sui took it to sell, he brought the money back.

If it were other eunuchs, they might not necessarily give Cai Jing face. But Cai Jing was sure that Hao Sui would agree. It's not that Hao Sui gives him face, but that he gives Li Kui face.

Hao's entourage was expelled from the palace and then returned to the palace again, where he experienced an incredible journey of meritorious service. The little friend who accompanied him along the way was Li Kui. Everyone in officialdom knows that the relationship between Li Kui and Hao Sui is very good, how good is it?

Hao Sui once wanted to leave Li Kui at home to help......

A great help, a great favor for the continuation of the offspring.

It's a pity that Li Kui refused in the face of such a beautiful thing.

This kind of thing is in the people, called borrowing seeds.

In the group of eunuchs, it is called a tenant.

Rent your wife to guests for free, including food and lodging, entertainment, and red envelopes when you leave. The street scoundrels dreamed of such a good thing, but Li Kui refused.

Although a person from a Jinshi background is greedy, for the sake of face, he will definitely not agree to such a ridiculous thing. Of course, ordinary people envy such opportunities, but eunuchs like Hao Sui definitely can't look down on them.

It's like Zhang Dian once said that he was deceived into a luxurious mansion when he was young, and the beautiful women in the mansion were like clouds, which made him happy all day long. But don't say who this owner is?

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Dian was a 'tenant' at the beginning. If it weren't for the kindness of the woman in the house and let him out, he might have died of exhaustion......

I don't know if it was that muddy ball that gave Hao Sui an idea, let him rent a yard next to Taixue, and then tempted Taixue.

But this kind of thing, even the imperial history is unwilling to deal with it. even laughed at Hao Sui's shamelessness. But Hao Sui's wives and concubines, in terms of their beauty, are definitely the most outstanding group in Kaifeng Mansion. Who let Hao Sui once also manage the teaching workshop, fill his own pockets, and marry many Oiran of the teaching workshop. Such bad deeds did not make Hao Sui unlucky.

Because in the eyes of the imperial history, aren't eunuchs doing such things as flies and dogs?

If that eunuch wants to serve the country and the people, it will be the time when the imperial historians are worried.

Cai Jing found Hao Sui, Hao Sui didn't think about it, and immediately agreed: "The old man will arrange it." ”

Cai Jing suddenly became transparent, left the glass mirror, and left. Good friends, just don't ask the reason, have the power to contribute, and have the money to contribute.

The steward of the church was brought into Hao Sui's house, and when they met, they knelt down and said respectfully: "The child greets his father-in-law." ”

"Shi Cheng, get up and speak." Hao Sui looked at Liang Shicheng and waved his hand to get him up: "Let's ask you, who is the most famous and most sought after in the teaching workshop now?" ”

Liang Shicheng looked at his father-in-law Hao Sui, and thought that Hao Sui was going to take a concubine, after all, his father-in-law's wives and concubines were all top names ten years ago, and they may be old.

He pretended to be clever and said: "If my father-in-law wants, wouldn't it be better to go to the church and let the girls come and let you choose whatever you want?" Liang Shicheng also said with a snake: "All of them are Qingqi people." Father-in-law, you also know that the women in this workshop are worthless once they have guests to enter the curtain. ”

Hao Sui didn't want to take a concubine at all, now that he has a son, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

And for eunuchs, marrying a wife and taking a concubine to go home can only be seen but not used, and there is no interest in more.

Especially the Qingqi people, this makes Hao Sui even more unhappy. The eunuch takes a concubine, and it is a Qing man to take it back, and when he dies, it is still finished, can he bear this kind of humiliation? But Liang Shicheng is not wrong in saying that the price of Qing people is high. This is the case with the teaching workshop, if the Qing people order a tea table, it costs a hundred times to accompany the tour to the green, once the melon is broken, it is worth ten times, this is the market, and no one can change it.

Hao Sui waved his hand and said: "Shicheng, it's not for my father." It's a hero, Master Li. ”

"Brother Li!" Liang Shicheng suddenly remembered that when he was in Yingzhou, Su Shi took him in the car, and Li Kui and Li Yun took him down the river to fish, although it was only a few days, but this was the happiest time in Liang Shicheng's life, how could he forget? He suddenly wanted to be kind to Li Kui from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Li wants it, and he can pick it at will, Qingqi people, the best Oiran lady, he will take it home if he sees it, no money!" Now the most popular is Qiao Zhi'er, and his son will send someone to Brother Li's house tonight. ”

Hao Sui is a little depressed, is he a eunuch?

He was regarded as a hungry ghost by Yizi, anyway, it was not suitable for him to have a group of eunuch wives and concubines.

And his good brother is also regarded as a hungry ghost in the sex, could it be that he Hao Sui can't do something elegant?

Hao Sui scolded; "Renjie is a civil official, not a crippled person like us, don't think nonsense in the future."

"Yes, my son was wrong." Liang Shicheng was helpless and wanted to make a sycophant, but he didn't succeed.

Hao Sui squirmed his lips for a while, and ordered; "Bring me the pretty branches."

Liang Shicheng stepped back with a smile.

In the teaching workshop, Qiao Zhi'er looked at the appearance of the bronze mirror with a sad face, and her vision became more and more blurred.

The old bustard pushed the door in, smiled at her and said, "Daughter, your life is good, you have been taken by Hao Duzhi, and you don't dress up to serve this great nobleman in the prefect's mansion." ”

When Qiao Zhi'er heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she said in horror: "I was taken by him? ”

"This is climbing a high branch, what are you not happy about? Eunuch Hao is the old steward of our workshop, and he treats the girls like a daughter......"

Hao Sui...... If you are good to the girl in the teaching workshop like a daughter, can you still marry home?

After that, Qiao Zhi'er didn't hear a word clearly, and was served like a puppet to wear luxurious but elegant clothes and be sent to the car.

came to Hao Sui's home, and finally endured the sadness and was brought to Hao Sui. Eunuch Hao has no light mind for women, and he does not have that condition. This gave him a more vicious look at women, and after the pretty branches appeared in front of him, there was suddenly a kind of brightness in the hall as if it were light.

Hao Sui praised in his heart: "What a beautiful woman, but her expression is a little sluggish, and she doesn't know what's going on?" This kind of woman should be well cared for, but it's a pity that I'm old......"

Of course, he couldn't do it when he was younger.

The eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty could marry wives, but it was absolutely impossible for them to have sons themselves. If such a scandal happened, the emperor would have to clean up the eunuchs in the silkworm house. These old dogs, the technology is not up to par. If you don't make a gelding, what's the use of raising it?

"I heard that you are looking to buy a glass mirror?"

The teaching workshop is rich, especially the top brand Oiran, and the appearance fee is like a joke, often hundreds, thousands. With such an appearance fee, she can divide a small head, and most of it goes into the accounts of the teaching workshop. This money is the rouge pollen money of the nobles in the palace, and no one dares to be greedy for ink. Even if you take a small head, as long as you are ruthless, you can still save a considerable amount of private money.

Although glass mirrors are not sold in the market. But everything in the palace knows that there are always some bold people who dare to steal the treasures in the palace and sell them.

Generally, this kind of treasure will not be asked for by the families of officials and magnates, and it will be a disaster to buy it.

But they can't stand the luxury businessmen who want to be fresh, so they will secretly buy it privately. Then give it to your favorite Oiran to make the beauty smile. The emperor generally doesn't care, mainly because he has suffered losses. During the Zhenzong period, there was a palace maid in the palace who stole the treasures in the palace and secretly took them out of the palace to sell. Then the treasure was bought in the market, only to be discovered. When the palace was thoroughly investigated, the palace maid was scared, set fire to the palace where the treasures were kept, and then ...... The fire nearly burned most of the palace.

With such a painful lesson, the emperor also turned one eye open and closed one eye when he encountered such a thing.

The magic of the glass mirror is not magical in the flower world, and there are really things that Kabuki has obtained such treasures to show off in private.

As a leader in the Great Song Flower World, Qiao Zhier didn't, and she wanted to cry when she thought about it.

But then to her surprise, Hao brought a few glass mirrors and said to her: "These glass mirrors are mirrors that the Military Control Bureau is preparing to sell, do you have a favorite?" ”

Qiao Zhi'er was suddenly attracted by the shiny mirror, she was not afraid, but excitedly picked up this, put down that, but couldn't make up her mind, which one?

Hao Sui looked at Qiaozhi'er's appearance, and knew that this uninformed Oiran was the first time he had seen the glass mirror.

I sighed in my heart: "The business is not enough!" Isn't there a gold owner who sent a glass mirror? You must know that there are more stolen glass mirrors in the palace, not to mention more than a dozen. Didn't a financier send it to her? ”

This is also to blame the owner of the pretty branch, in fact, none of the Oiran and the head card of the workshop have received such a gift as a glass mirror. The main reason is that this place is under the joint jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Government, and it is stupid to give the treasure that must have been stolen from the palace to the Oiran in the workshop, what is the difference between this and surrendering?

"Think about it, the big one is 800 times, and the small one is 500 times. You are the first buyer of the glass mirror in the capital, and the old man told you that this glass mirror is different from the glass glass, and the price is not reduced. In the future, the capital will be sold at this price, and the whole Song Dynasty will also be sold at this price. Our family is the first dealer of glass mirrors in Beijing, and you are the first customer in Beijing. ”

"I want it all!" Hearing that it was a deal, Qiao Zhi'er became bolder.

Qiao Zhi'er raised her head and looked at Hao Sui stubbornly. Hao Sui looked kind with this face, but he was the head of the eunuchs in the palace, where could there be any kind person?

The cold light flashed in her eyes, and she was so frightened that Qiao Zhi'er hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at people.

Hao Sui stared at Qiao Zhi'er interestingly, and said with a pleasant face: "Raise your head." ”

Qiao Zhi'er's heart trembled suddenly, and she said softly with a discolored face: "Adult, little girl......"

Even if she fell into the lowly status, Qiao Zhier also thought about what she would look like when she got married in the future. The most common method in her industry is to raise a little white face, preferably a scholar, and then subsidize the little white face to study and be admitted to the Jinshi ...... But the painful experience of her predecessors told her a painful fact, those who came to the workshop to seek pleasure were all negative people. Not to mention the identity of his wife, he didn't even catch the identity of a concubine.

Otherwise, it is to marry a merchant, but a merchant is ruthless, and it is common to give away his wife and concubine for the sake of business, and it is not appropriate.

Perhaps marrying an official as a concubine is a way out.

Although it is difficult for lowly women to find a good home. But Oiran still has some hope, although there is little hope, but it is better than being a concubine for an old eunuch, right?

Seeing this, Hao Sui said unhappily: "The old man doesn't eat people." ”

Qiaozhi'er said in her heart: You don't eat people, but you can eat people without spitting out bones.

Hao Sui waved his hand and said, "You stand down." ”

After a few days, there was more talk about the glass mirror on the streets of the capital. It seems that overnight, it has received great attention from the capital. And Hao Sui also relied on the identity of a dealer to make a lot of money.

There is a way to think of the source of drinking water, Hao Sui felt that he should invite his good brother Li Kui to come to the house and thank him.

"Renjie, you are still in love, and you haven't forgotten your brother." Hao Sui emotionally raised the wine cup and said to Li Kui: "Brother, I am a crippled person, so brother, you don't dislike your brother's identity, and you raise your glass." ”

Li Kui was also a little unclear at first, but later realized that Cai Jing gave Hao Sui the first sales quota of the Beijing glass mirror.

Officials of the Great Song Dynasty were not allowed to do business, although eunuchs also had ranks. However, in the bureaucratic system of the Great Song Dynasty, eunuchs were a special case and could be opened. Besides, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were not allowed to do business, but the families of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were all in business.

Collusion between officials and businessmen abounds.

During this period, there were also two old mothers who brought a timid boy in.

When Hao Sui saw the boy, his whole person seemed to melt, and said to Li Kui: "My son, the nickname is Donglai, how does the virtuous brother look?" ”

"Although he is not very old, he will definitely be a blessed person in the future." Can Li Kui say that? He won't be able to lift Hao Sui's old bottom, right?

In doing so, you are not a friend, but an enemy.

"My son, give you a toast to Uncle Li."

The three-year-old doll said that she was sensible and understood a little, but she said that she was not sensible, and Hao Donglai didn't understand anything. Like a marionette, he was stuffed with a wine cup in his hand and carefully handed it to Li Kui: "Uncle Li, please drink." ”

Shameless, shameless, I can't drink but let the child go out.

What can Li Kui do, he won't be angry with a child, right?

After coming and going, Li Kui felt a little dizzy, as if he had drunk high.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law!"

Hao Donglai was still holding a wine cup on the side, but his shouting had already changed. And Hao Sui was as happy as if he had picked up a big bargain, Li Kui actually agreed to recognize his son as a righteous son, although it was in a drunken state, but Hao Sui was not afraid that Li Kui would not admit it. Hao Sui suddenly let go of all the worries in his heart.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty can favor their children, but they must be above the fifth grade. It seems that after Zhenzong designated this rule, it was as if it was specifically aimed at eunuchs, because the highest grade of eunuchs was only six grades.

Everyone knows, everyone knows, the worship officials are all six-grade officials, but the level is several levels worse.

Although Hao Sui wanted to use his broken wings to shelter his own children, he was also too strong to reach. Once he died, his family was a group of women in addition to money. Women don't care, Hao Sui doesn't care at all, but what about children, children who have inherited the Hao family's family business?

Without an official position, Lao Tzu is still a eunuch and a single household, can such a family business be passed on?

Hao Sui was even worried that once he died, his son would not even be able to save his life because he was being spied on by someone with a heart. And finding a backer for your son is undoubtedly the best choice.

If you want to talk about backing, Hao Sui looked around, who else is more reliable than Li Kui?

Of course, there is, it is Emperor Zhao Xu.

But Hao Sui has been a eunuch all his life, but he never thought of asking his son to inherit his father's business, so that his son would also follow him into the palace to serve the emperor. Thinking about it, Li Kui is the most suitable.

Hao Sui is almost fifty years old, how long can he take care of his family in this life?

In fact, today's Hao Sui is even secretly dismissing the concubines in the backyard, dividing the family property, and marrying someone who is willing to marry. But if you can't marry someone in the capital, you have to marry far away, preferably in the south, the kind that will never return to the capital in this life.

Hao Sui is also a person with a head and a face, and he can't afford to lose this person.

finally got Li Kui drunk, and also found a good father-in-law for his son. Hao Sui said to the maid with satisfaction: "Brother Li will go to the guest room." ”

And Li Kui also stayed at Hao Sui's house for one night.

Three poles on the sun.

Li Kui saw Fang Liang, and his mind sank a little. Thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a home, nor is it the backyard of the official residence of the Military Command Bureau. He suddenly remembered, Hao Sui, right Hao Sui. It can't be his house, right?

There was a faint air of indulgence on the tip of his nose, a little peach blossom fragrance, Li Kui suddenly woke up, his heart trembled, there is a way that a friend's wife can't be bullied...... What did he do when he was drunk?
