337: Proposed
All the way out of the Suzaku Gate.
Aunt Kong took Qin Wei all the way to the left and passed the Bianhe River.
A few hundred meters further to the right, there is a cluster of residential houses in front of you, and the staggered layout looks a little crowded, compared with the layout of some inner city houses on the other side of Sweetwater Lane, it seems a little cramped.
The high housing prices in Bianliang make people squirt blood, and the Sweet Water Alley with ten yuan per square meter is not a high price.
Just like the Dingwang Mansion and the Shangjun Palace, which are located in the root of the imperial city, they can no longer be measured by money, even if you are rich and rival the country, you may not be able to buy it.
Although the Liu family is a relative, the background is not deep, especially after those poor relatives came to Bianliang in one go, the life of the Liu family is not as luxurious as outsiders imagine.
Aside from officialdom and politics, Liu E has limited places to help.
After all, those powerful ministers of the clan couldn't wait to stare at Yanfu Palace twenty-four hours a day, for fear that Liu E would make some small moves.
Eat the emperor's food and get official salaries.
And if you can have a house in the outer city, it can be regarded as a relatively wealthy family.
This is already the best treatment that Liu E can give the Liu family at present.
As for the kind of folk rumors, the Liu family relied on the queen mother to control the government and act recklessly...... That's just folk gossip, and even a lot of it is deliberately released by some forces, just to discredit Liu E.
For example, a famous excerpt from Peking Opera in later generations - the tanuki for the prince.
This incident is not recorded in the official history at all, and it is mostly nonsense to catch the wind and shadows.
Is Zhao Heng really a secondary two? Can't even recognize a skinned tanuki? Even if he can't recognize it, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all loyal ministers that Zhao Heng has cultivated for many years, and they can't see it?
So I really think that in order to consolidate the orthodoxy of imperial power, those later scholars and Qingliu deliberately conjured up such an absurd story to discredit Liu E, the ruling queen mother.
This is the same as when Wu Zetian ascended the throne, those Tang ministers slandered her behind her back.
It's just that the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as the former Tang Dynasty, and the status of literati in this era is simply outrageous, not to mention that they dare to discredit the empress dowager of the dynasty, even if the emperor does something they think is inappropriate, it is still a big book, it doesn't matter if there is no evidence, we can make it up!
The two walked all the way in.
Because the houses are relatively close to each other, the streets and alleys are more lively than in the inner city, and there is an endless stream of people and hawkers.
Until a house, the two big characters 'Liu Mansion' were written, and the gate was not very wide, after all, the Liu family had no official body, and the system of a high-ranking family was a taboo when used.
Aunt Kong got out of the carriage and went to call the door with a smile.
The door opened, and a manservant glanced outside, then said a few words to Aunt Kong, and said with a smile: "The master of the family has been waiting for a long time, Qin Langjun please come in." ”
Don't be a trap, right?
That Miss Liu family just made such a show in the Qin family, and the Liu family and the Lu family made a lot of trouble.
It's really not a good time to come to this stall.
However, Qin Wei had to listen to Wang Zhen's order, so he had to look at Qiao Feng who was following, Qiao Feng nodded slightly, indicating that there were already secret agents of the Qin family around him.
Stay vigilant at all times!
This is a three-entry compound, but the area is still slightly restrained compared to the Qin family, and the decoration is also a little monotonous.
In front of it was probably where the servants lived, and there was also a kitchen.
There are a lot of Liu family members, but Qin Wei didn't see any of the Liu family members all the way in, and it is estimated that Liu Biao, the head of the family, greeted him in advance.
The main hall was ahead, and he was ushered through.
Aunt Kong was extremely active in interjecting jokes on the side, and after sitting down, she made fun of Qin Wei's shyness.
Brother is not shy!
I just wondered if this was a Hongmen banquet today.
Bianliang in August is still a little hot and dry.
Aunt Kong sat on the side, and took advantage of the opportunity that there was only her and Qin Wei here, opened some of her clothes, and then fanned it a few times with her handkerchief.
Once the charm of the half-aged starts a wave, their skills should not be underestimated, not to mention that Qin Wei has not seen much of the young people on the market, and if one is not good, he will fall.
A burst of women's body fragrance wafted in, Qin Wei smelled it, but he was not moved, and he didn't even throw a look over there.
"Oops! The heat is dead! ”
Aunt Kong pulled the placket a little more.
I thought that my mother can be regarded as having experienced a thousand sails, and she can't take you a hairy boy?
It's a pity that Qin Wei just looked out of the door indifferently, and he didn't even have a trance in his eyes.
I thought that my brother was an old ghost who had read thousands of sails back then, you ...... In the afterlife, if you find a random place to squat on the street, there will be more meat than you see.
If I get you a bikini, I guess the old matchmaker will be ashamed to jump into the river.
A servant woman came in, glanced inside quickly, and brought the tea.
In the room in the backyard, the head of the family, Liu Biao, sat at the top with a straight face, his wife Qian beside him, and their daughter-in-law Liu Ting at the bottom.
There was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy sitting crookedly on the side, scratching his fingers a little absentmindedly.
The servant woman came in and hurriedly said, "Ah Lang, that Qin Wei is a talent, and he is not nervous and flustered, he is very calm!" And also...... The servant of the Wang family had just brought two jugs of good wine, saying that they would be drunk at the banquet later. ”
The Qian family is about thirty years old, and he is a little beautiful but not a beauty, so he said: "The Qin family is also considered to be a rich party, Wang Zhen treats Qin as a nephew, and he only brought two bottles of wine for the first time?" ”
This is a dislike of the gift of proposing, which is too thin.
It's just that the Qian family forgot that they had instigated their daughters to dig up their sisters' walls.
If it weren't for Qin Wei's strong willpower,
"That's Wang Zhen, the dignified privy envoy came to the Liu family to propose, and he was already bowing his eyebrows and bending his waist, do you still want him Wang Zhen to come to the door with a generous gift? That's not polite, it's a killing. ”
When the privy envoy of the court came to the Liu family to propose marriage, if this matter spread, it would be explosive news.
Especially at this time, it is at the stage of Zaifu's candidacy, the emperor's eyes are probably staring at Wang Zhen all the time, and he dares to come to the Liu family at this time, which can only be said that he really values Qin Wei.
Do you want him to come in with a generous gift?
The Qin family is not short of money, and Wang Zhen can afford it, but the question is whether the Liu family dares to accept it?
Hearing this, Qian Shi hugged and said: "It's the concubine's mind that is shallow...... However, Qin Wei was able to come to the door, which really made the concubine body unexpected, it seems that the relationship between Wang Zhen and the Qin family is really good. ”
She glanced at her children, and then stopped.
Turning his head to the maid, he said: "Go to the side courtyard and call that family over, how can you say that the second child is also the biological father of the illegitimate daughter, since this marriage requires the Liu family to come forward, it can't get past him after all." ”
The maid ran out again.
Qian said with a smile: "The Qin family has no elders, there is no jurisdiction from above, and the family property is rich......"
probably felt that this was wrong, so Qian changed his tone: "The key is that this person still has a lot of means, he survived in Bianliang alone, and he earned a huge family property in less than two years, and he also became an official, and there is no such outstanding young man in Bianliang City." ”
Liu Ting listened to her mother praising Qin Wei like this, and the coldness on her face became even heavier.
When Qian saw it, he said: "Don't be angry, the opportunity was given to you at the beginning, but you couldn't hook the young man's heart if you didn't use it, who is to blame for this?" Take Da Lang to the front yard and thank the man in person, if Da Lang hadn't made Qin Wei's move, our dumb family would have suffered a loss. ”
The casino matter involved a lot of powerful people, and even the Shangjun Wangfu recognized it, and the Liu family naturally had to accept their fate.
As soon as Qin Wei made a move, he found out so many involvements and obscurities, if it weren't for this, the Liu family might really make people cheat without knowing it.
"Yes."
Liu Ting pouted unwillingly, got up and hurriedly saluted, and then took her younger brother Liu Chao to the front yard.
After the child went out, Liu Biao said lightly: "This matter is our family's fault, since the plan can't be made, we must be decisive...... In the future, if I want to mention this matter, the Liu family and the Qin family will no longer have any relationship...... The official status of the three-grade lady has nothing to do with the Liu family. ”
Qian Shi was stunned, and said with some regret: "Hey, what a good golden beetle son-in-law, if it can fall into the hands of our big house, not only will our family benefit in the future, but even the Liu family will be able to enjoy a good time." ”
Liu Biao's eyelids jumped, "Don't say this again in the future, wealth has a fate...... Ting'er doesn't have that life, she can't force it, Qin Wei is not a good talker, he can come to the Liu family to rely on Wang Zhen and the face of the illegitimate daughter, believe it or not...... If we dare to make a small move against him again, then the young man will definitely make the whole Liu family pay the price! ”
Qin Wei's methods in Bianliang can be described as appalling.
He was never a good man.
Liu Biao can achieve the position of the head of the family, not to mention his ability for the time being, but he never lacks the vision to recognize people and things.
If you can't make a move, then admit defeat decisively, whether it is etiquette or attitude, you must be meticulous, so that is the way to survive.
"Wang Zhen is afraid that he is coming soon, let's prepare wine and food."
Qian nodded and said, "It's all called from outside, just tell me to go down." ”
At this time, the slave girl ran back again, and said happily: "Ah Lang, lady, the second room went to the front yard, but she didn't come forward directly, but stayed in the side room and waited." ”
Liu Biao bowed his head slightly, and said: "Even if he is still interested, if he can't wait to climb the Qin family, then this family really can't accommodate a second room." ”
……
Qin Wei sat in front of him in a daze, no matter how Aunt Kong was showing off, he still maintained a posture of looking forward, as if he was a little restrained.
He didn't squint because he was thinking about things, the provincial test was coming soon, and Guozijian, as the hottest school in Bianliang this year, has also become the focus of attention.
With so many great Confucians joining, if the scientific examination law still can't crush other schools, it proves that Qin Wei's efforts these days are in vain.
Drown in the spittle!
On the contrary, those people will definitely make a big fuss, saying that Guozijian is a gold-plated office, what Confucianism, what miscellaneous family, is just a means used by Qin Wei to improve his political performance.
However, Qin Wei is still very sure of this provincial examination, and those students seem to have increased miscellaneous disciplines, and they have used less work in the imperial examination.
But in fact, they did not learn any less knowledge, but through some popular academics of miscellaneous families, they made their academic understanding of the imperial examination more profound.
Generally speaking, in the past, everyone was mainly based on rote memorization, and understood through the auxiliary.
After learning miscellaneous studies, students will subconsciously integrate these knowledge, so that they not only learn miscellaneous studies, but also have a deeper understanding of Confucianism.
It's a complementary thing.
And since Guozijian used Qin Wei's learning system, the students of Guozijian have worked harder than before.
When there were still stars in the sky, everyone was woken up by the instructor, and they went to the study room to get up and memorize the book.
At first, most of the students were uncomfortable.
This kind of study system is even harder than the kind of hard work that everyone often boasts of.
They even faintly turned into learning machines, starting to memorize books at 5 o'clock in the morning, and after breakfast, they ran and drilled to train their physical fitness, and then went to self-study in the morning...... During the day, in addition to going to the toilet and sleeping, the students even eat with their meals.
Over time, the students gradually became immersed in that atmosphere.
Especially the cruel reward and punishment system, which inspires no student who is not willing to lag behind, everyone strives to be the first, lest they fall behind.
The situation is not a small good, but a big one.
Qin Wei was happy in his heart, and forgot for a while that he was out as a guest, so he habitually got up and walked out.
"Yikes!"
Liu Ting happened to take her younger brother to the front hall, and the two almost collided face to face.
After an exclamation, Liu Ting hurriedly saluted: "The slave family has seen the ...... of Pingyang Hou"
Qin Wei also coughed twice in embarrassment.
"No courtesy."
After Liu Ting got up, she pulled a young man behind her, stepped forward and said: "This is my younger brother, thank you Pingyang Hou for the previous casino incident, and you have done justice for the abbot of my Liu family!" ”
The young man saluted Qin Wei with some hesitation, with a little fear on his face.
"You're Liu Qi?"
"Yes"
Qin Wei asked casually, but the young man subconsciously pushed a few steps and hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.
Qin Wei said with a little amusement: "This is what is the matter, and a certain person does not eat people......
Liu Qi was about seventeen years old, chubby, and he looked a little timid, but he looked at Qin Wei cautiously, and he hesitated and didn't dare to speak.
They said...... Pingyang Hou is ruthless and kills without blinking......"
"Shut up!"
The younger brother's words made Liu Ting's face change suddenly...... People came to the door as guests, and they helped the Liu family, regardless of whether Qin was willing or not.
But the Liu family is indeed stained.
If you don't thank you, what else do you say...... Well, she also thinks this is Qin Wei's style......
Qin Wei was stunned for a moment......
Is Lao Tzu's reputation already stinky like this now?
However, it is a mediocrity not to be envied, and some people slander him just to show that he is not what he used to be.
"It's okay, it's just a kid's joke."
Qin Wei shook his head with a smile, and reached out to stroke Liu Qi's head, like an elder coaxing a child.
Liu Ting looked at him, with a slight emotion in her eyes, and finally could only sigh: "Anyway, I still have to thank Pingyang Hou for making a move, the slave family was offended before, and I hope Pingyang Hou will forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Qin Wei still smiled, but his tone was indifferent.
The Liu family sisters and brothers couldn't say anything, so they could only retire in a hurry.
