Chapter 40 The beggar version of the royal family

"Really, everything I said is true, brother, don't believe it!"

Han Dahu was about to tear his heart out, but Li Kui just sneered at him and didn't say anything. Han Dahu didn't give up. On the contrary, he was quite dissatisfied with his status as a relative of the emperor. Even when he said this status, there was bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

The look of helplessness.

After sighing for a long time, he said plaintively: "Brother, please stop laughing and listen to me slowly."

"Jia Yue served as a Marquis of the Capital in the Forbidden Army. He was upright and often offended his colleagues. When he was depressed, he thought of a carp jumping over the dragon's gate - the talent show. My wife's sister was charming, well-behaved and smart, and she entered as she wished.

Serve as a servant in the palace..."

It was okay that Han Dahu didn't talk about it. As soon as he talked about the palace affairs, Li Kui's eyes suddenly lit up. He sat close to the edge and asked expectantly: "Your Majesty, what is your identity? Can you see the official family? Are you the wife and concubine of the mansion?

The same thing, jealousy and fights?"

To put it bluntly, Han Dahu didn't dare to get angry in front of Li Kui. Someone else would have slapped him with his big mouth. They said that scolding people does not reveal their shortcomings. The imperial concubine is the lowest palace maid and the lowest level in the palace. How can a palace maid of this status do so?

Possibly meeting the emperor? Isn’t this nonsense?

Han Dahu couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't have the nerve to say clearly: "He can be considered one of the nobles, but he can't compare with the concubine."

"According to Jia Yue, he was a royal servant before, and his status must not be high. But this summer, Jia Yue suddenly came to me and asked for money, and the amount was huge. Only then did he know that my sister-in-law had been awarded the title of Beauty and needed a large amount of money to clear the court.

You also know that Yishui is just a poor place. Brother, although I have some wealth in Yishui, I can't stand the orders of the palace!"

(Beauty: Female officials in the palace, in the Song Dynasty, they should be treated according to the fourth grade.)

Han Dahu was not very clear, but Li Kui was even more confused. Beauty? What kind of grade is this? It sounds very different from a concubine! Then he asked: "What kind of grade is a beauty in the palace? How many grades worse than a concubine?"

Even Han Dahu, who didn’t know much about the palace, almost spit out his blood, Concubine De? You really dare to open your teeth! Concubine De and concubine are just one step away. If his wife and sister were concubine De, he would

Will he stay in Yishui County on the edge of Mengshan Mountain? He has already gone to the capital to become his rich man.

Fortunately, he knew that Li Kui was a stranger. I am afraid that the last time he went to the county town was the first time in his life that he had traveled far away, and he was lucky enough to meet him in his medicine shop.

Thinking of Li Kui's stupid look, which had never seen the world, he relieved his displeasure and said patiently: "How great is Concubine De? If she were Concubine De, not only would my father-in-law not need to send money to the palace, but he would also be able to occupy a large school.

Business. This is the benefit that relatives should have. As for beauty?

Well, he decided to start from the beginning: "Does the Queen know?"

"I'm not stupid!" Li Kui didn't know the level of 'beauty', but how could the queen not know?

Han Dahu said: "Below the queen are the imperial concubines, but imperial concubines are not necessarily found in every dynasty. Only the most favored concubines in the harem can be conferred the title of imperial concubine. Not only that, the identity of the mother's family also helps a lot. After the imperial concubine are the fourth concubines.

, Shu, De, Xian, Chen; this is the first-class noble person in the palace. Not counting the queen, she is a model of motherly etiquette for the world and the first in the palace."

"continue……"

"After the concubine, there are ten nobles: Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Chongyuan, Wanrong, Wanyi, Shunrong, and Guiyi. These are all customized harem nobles, neither increasing nor decreasing.

All are custom-made.”

"There is no limit on the number of people after the third class. The third class is Jieyu; the fourth class is a beauty and enjoys the treatment of a fourth-grade official."

Li Kui was greatly disappointed. He thought that the beauty had a high status, but it turned out that she was just a concubine with no restrictions. Of course, the emperor's concubine could not be called a concubine, she had to be of high quality.

Under Li Kui's disdainful eyes, Han Dahu said with a sneer: "Well, what I just said about being brother-in-law with the official family was just a joke, but I learned from my father-in-law that my wife and sister have already slept with each other, and the beauty's grade is just

Temporary, will be promoted soon."

"Jieyu is useless! There are too many distinguished nobles in the palace. If she is among the ten nobles, she might even get the chance to become a concubine, but..."

Li Kui wanted to give up, but he was afraid of hurting Inspector Han if he refused. What if his wife and sister became rich?

How can we explain clearly the affairs of the emperor's family?

Seeing that Li Kui was becoming lukewarm, Han Dahu suddenly became anxious: "Brother, please don't refuse to be a brother. At the beginning of the year, my wife and sister were just servants to the imperial family. However, they have become beauties in just a few months, which shows that the official family has begun to favor them."

Yes, it’s just that everyone in the palace can’t promote an eighth-level servant to a concubine all at once, right?”

"That's the truth." Li Kui said in his heart that there is still this mystery, but his wife's... reputation is not a problem! If he gets involved with his wife, wouldn't he be disliked by the ministers?

It has to be said that Li Kui thought very far. He didn't even get the status of a scholar in the county, but thought of his future official reputation in the court. If Han Dahu knew what Li Kui was thinking, he would probably slap him in the face of madness.

Wake up this stupid boy Li Kui. His father-in-law has been daydreaming for many years, which has made the house full of chaos. I also met Li Kui, this stupid boy who didn't go to school for a day and just thought about becoming an official. He said

I'm afraid he can't help it! If Li Kui really can pass the Jinshi examination, his Han family has been favored by the emperor for generations, and he should at least be a Taiwei.

Anyone can make random assumptions, but is it possible?

However, it is not that there is no chance at all. Since Han Dahu's sister-in-law has been able to rise from being an imperial servant to becoming a beauty, she can now flatter the emperor.

It can be seen that investing in Han Dahu may not result in no return at all.

He hesitated for a while and asked, "Didn't your father-in-law tell you how much it will cost?"

"The more the merrier, take out as much as you can. Where did my father-in-law collect 10,000 guan? I got 5,000 guan here, and the other two sons-in-law raised 5,000 guan together. After all, it's only 20,000 guan. This little money is outside.

It may seem like a lot, but it won’t be spent in the palace. Besides, my sister-in-law’s letter asking for money is very urgent, so I’m afraid if it continues, it will delay her important event.”

Han Dahu sighed and said: "My sister-in-law has been in the palace since she was a child and has no supporter in the palace. Although her status has improved now, she still suffers from the lack of trustworthy people around her. She can only use money to clear the way to be stable in the palace. But

I estimate that without a hundred thousand guan, I'm afraid she will have to take another path."

Li Kui didn't know how difficult it was to walk in the palace.

But if someone told Li Kui that the palace is the darkest place, Li Kui would never refute it.

Han Dahu anxiously waited for Li Kui to speak, but Li Kui became troubled. He was wary of his relatives. Everyone knew that the biggest villain in the world must be the people around the emperor, and his relatives could not escape the relationship.

It's not impossible to do business with a foreign relative and get swallowed up.

There is even fear of life.

But at the same time, if that Liu...Qingjing is really favored by the emperor, and can be made a concubine in a blink of an eye, once the investment is successful, he will surely ascend to heaven, and he might be able to become an official without taking the imperial examination...!

Take shortcuts, it's easy!

Take the right path, the future is uncertain!
