I gave the girl, but someone refused and even came to me.

Li Kui was worried that there would be any problem with Li Bangyan's aesthetic taste? He asked: "What is the talent and appearance of a woman?"

"Although Xiaoqian was born in a flower shop, she was talented and naturally charming. Especially Xiaoqian was still a polite prostitute. She was not a good cook. She was the most suitable for taking care of Mr. Fan's life. The key is that she heard that Mr. Fan was a Jinshi and was a proofreader in the imperial city. She was even more happy and didn't want to leave." Li Bangyan raised his eyelids but did not dare to look at Li Kui, but he was still very capable of doing things and handled things very appropriately.

The proofreader is a small official of the ninth rank, and the small ones cannot be even smaller. In the imperial city, an official position is greater than a proofreader. The proofreader is not much better than a proofreader. From an official position of the eighth rank, a small civil servant who seems to have a very low official position and a low official salary, he has no hope. But in fact, this is not the case. The proofreader is a very potential official position.

On the surface, it is under the jurisdiction of Zhi Secret Pavilion. After the Yuanfeng restructuring, the official position of Zhi Secret Pavilion was taken out separately. The real leader of Zhi Secret Pavilion became a writer, a seventh-rank civil servant. The superior yamen was a secretary and a high-ranking official. The stepping stone to enter this yamen was a Jinshi, that is, a second-rank Jinshi, and it was not a Jinshi who fooled people. Before entering, he needed to take the exam and passed the qualifications before he could be awarded an official position. The yamen that seriously cultivated elite bureaucrats.

But this yamen only does one thing and compiles history.

This tastes a little bit.

It seems to be very similar to a yamen in the Ming Dynasty, which is the Hanlin Academy.

It can be said that although the official position of the proofreader is small, once promoted and released, he will be on a rocket and rushed up. When Chao Buzhi was an official in the capital, he was an proofreader. When he left the capital, he was the proofreader of Yangzhou, the sixth rank of Yangzhou. The ninth rank of official was promoted to the sixth rank, which was a sixth rank in a row! Who else would say that the proofreader who was one level higher than the proofreader would have no future?

Besides, Fan Chong's father Fan Zuyu started his official career as an official. In two years, he was promoted from an official to a fourth-rank official and entered the Tongjinsi, one of the two major yamen in the central government. Perhaps ordinary people were a little unfamiliar with this yamen, but the yamen at the same level as this yamen is the Zhijianyuan, which is the Censorate. The Tongjinsi and Zhijianyuan also control the language routes of the Song Dynasty court. This shows how high its status is. The power of the Shangshu, who ranked low in the Shangshu Province, may not be much higher than that of the Chief Secretary of the Tongjinsi.

It can be seen how terrifying it will be if the proofreader starts to be promoted. However, the official system of the Song Dynasty was tested every three years and inspected every six years, and you can be promoted without making big mistakes. However, the proofreader in the Secretariat Province is different. There are many people who have been doing proofreader for ten years and twenty years.

Therefore, even in the eyes of the wealthy families in the capital, Fan Chong, the proofreader, is a rich man. In addition, his family has a prominent family, with bright eyebrows and thick eyebrows and big eyes. This is comparable to Tang Monk's flesh for a humble woman. Not to mention that she is far away, as long as they give birth to a son with Fan Chong and his son grows up, Fan Chong will become rich, and he will be able to become an official at that time, which is enough. If you can't be a wife, you can be a concubine, right?

No wonder the woman couldn't move when she saw Fan Chong.

Li Kui never falls behind in the beauty of adulthood. He immediately patted his chest and said, "It's very good, this money is included in my account by the master."

Li Bangyan had no money, and he could help Fan Chong find a concubine in just one or two days. It must be because of his fox's power. He played his own sign, and even even the sign of the Grand Tutor's Mansion was for him to sacrifice. Although Li Kui didn't stay with Li Bangyan for a long time, he also discovered many of Li Bangyan's strengths and was very good at doing things. He would show some of the fox's power on weekdays and would not oppress the people, but just show his face in front of acquaintances and earn face.

This is not a big mistake, so Li Kui turned a blind eye and didn't say much.

Since Li Bangyan saw that Fan Chong was intrigued, Li Kui felt that Fan Chong was really lonely. He lived alone in the capital and worked hard in the imperial palaces and pavilions, and had to pretend to be poor, pretend to be down and low-key. If he lay down at night, he could only stare at the beam of the room by himself, and it would not be good to be an official!

Li Kui was convinced of Fan Chong's thoughts. He didn't necessarily really dislike Li Bangyan's troublesomeness, but it might be to show his attitude. It was like a rogue girl meeting a wild man, and she said in panic: "I shouted!"

Anyway, scholars like Fan Chong always show a hesitant attitude when it comes to fame, and they are nervous that they dare not. What Li Kui has to do is to help him make up his mind: "The truth is to warm people first, and Zimei is doing this well!"

Zimei is Li Bangyan's name. It is said that she was given to him by a local senior master in Hanoi who was very promising to pass the Jinshi exam. However, his luck was not good. Later, the master became a monk in Songshan and became a foreigner.

Li Bangyan was shocked. He originally thought that if he did something wrong, he would definitely be punished by Li Kui. But he still underestimated Li Kui. Li Kui's character was to protect his own people first, regardless of right or wrong. Then he followed the reasons for the matter to find no reason. Especially Fan Chong, even Li Kui saw the depression in this guy's heart. How could he blame Li Bangyan for doing something wrong? Fan Chong needed a woman or an understanding woman.

Such a woman may not be well-made, but a concubine is the best candidate.

Only with good looks and comfortable looks; only with a low status can you be considerate.

Using a hot heart to melt Fan Chong, this is the beauty of the gentle land.

As for Fan Chong's predicament, he was lucky and had to act carefully. But in Li Kui's opinion, he could only stand up if he was afraid of anything he was afraid of.

Li Kui not only won’t say that Li Bangyan did something wrong, but also has to praise him.

Besides, Li Bangyan represents himself giving gifts. No matter what his identity is at home, it represents Li Kui’s meaning to the outside world. Can Li Kui admit that he has done something bad with kindness?

No!

Not only can't, Li Kui will also find a high-end reason for Li Bangyan to fool him. As for Fan Chong, this guy is not Fan Zhongyan's grandson, he is stingy. His family has hundreds of hectares of fertile land in Chengdu Prefecture. Grandpa is also the prime minister, so how can he lose money?

Li Kui, who is familiar with Fan Chong's leniency, immediately exposed Fan Chong's trick of pretending to be poor: "Young Master Huayang is short of money, don't joke!"

Fan Chong's family is the richest man in Huayang County, Chengdu Prefecture. How could he have no money? Even if he has no money, he can borrow a lot of money from any Sichuan Business Association with the tokens of the Fan Family in Huayang, which is enough for him to live a luxurious life in the capital. But Fan Chong did not do this. Is he stingy by nature? I'm afraid it's really not.

Moreover, Fan Chong and Fan Zhongyan had no relationship. The Fan family in Huayang was not Fan Zhongyan's family. Fan Zhongyan's hometown was in Wuxian, belonging to Suzhou and from Liangzhe. Fan Chong's hometown was Huayang County in Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan, and he could only be said to have the same surname. Moreover, the two families had no contacts. But strangely, the Fan family in Huayang had a good relationship with Su Shi, especially Fan Chong's uncle Fan Zhen, who was close friends, and Su Shi lived in the Fan family when he came to Beijing. But Su Shi and Fan Chunren had a bad relationship, which was quite strange. Both families had surnames Fan, but they just didn't contact each other.

The main two families have a bit of a festive relationship in their roots. The Fan family is a firm conservative, and Fan Chong's mother clan is also a firm conservative. Of course, Fan Zhongyan is a gentleman, and he will not investigate anyone who framed him after his failure. At that time, Fan Chong's grandfather Lu Yijian used a trick to frame Fan Zhongyan, and was the boss behind the scenes who completely destroyed the Qingli reform.

His father Fan Zuyu and the reformists also stood opposite each other, and even attacked Wang Anshi in public. Moreover, Lao Fan was a troll with amazing combat power. No one except the emperor dared to criticize him. If he hadn't been less famous than Su Shi, they could have even met in Wutai and become like-minded prisoners.

Although Fan Chong passed the Jinshi, he found that he was in a difficult situation.

If he supports the reformists, will his father still be alive?

It is said that the father is observing his ambition, but his father has not observed his actions and has not changed his way for three years. It can be said that he is filial. The most important belief of scholars passing on his family is probably filial piety. He violates his father's ambitions and is unfilial, and his reputation may be damaged. If he supports the conservatives, right? Now all those who come to power are from the reformists. Aren't he going to be ruthless?

This is why I had the idea of ​​hiding in the Secretariat to study history.

Fan Chongqiu said his difficulties in a vain: "My father is now demoted and suffered, so is it not good to take a concubine?"

"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and there is no descendant."

"I'm just married and I'm easily criticized."

"If my sister-in-law is reasonable, she will not refuse. Besides, you didn't bring your wife to live in Beijing! Isn't there any time to be lonely?"

"vulgar!"

"In order not to be criticized, I even sold my ancestral home in the capital because I was afraid that someone would be careful to keep an eye on it. If someone was troubled and told me, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"

"I'm so naughty, I'm thinking in my heart, saying no!"

That's right, Fan Chong is just pretending to be poor. There are only two types of officials who work as a proofreader in the Imperial City Secretariat. One is talented, but it doesn't matter. A truly poor student is not easy to live in the capital. His salary of less than 20 yuan a month is not enough in the capital. This is really poor. Another is a Jinshi who is a child of officials with outstanding talents but arrogant personality.

Fan Chong does not belong to this type, he is the third type. My family is unlucky and has been exiled. He has enemies everywhere, and none of them can afford to offend him, so he has to keep a low profile in the officialdom.

Pretend to be poor.

Pretend to be pitiful.

Insight into the officialdom of the Song Dynasty for my dad...

Anyway, people from the big family come out like this, and they can’t help themselves.

"It seems that it's not going to be an official in the capital?" Li Kui tried to ask.

Fan Chong rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think? But there are benefits to studying history. If someone wants to frame me, I don't know how to die. But don't worry about studying history. No one cares whether it is good or bad. There is no way to start." Fan Chong is also a very calculating person. He is worried that his father's enemy will not abide by the rules and will pay the debt. If so, he will be doomed.

Li Kui nodded in agreement and said, "I have offended too many enemies. Now, there are only a few officials of the third rank or above in the court who have not celebrated the festival. Logically speaking, your life in the Secretariat should be difficult. There is no hope of promotion, so don't worry about being demoted. You have already become an eighth rank official, so where can you be demoted?"

Fan Chong didn't have the nerve to refute this. Fan Zuyu's stinky mouth was basically cursed by the reformists. This is why Fan Zuyu was the first minister to be trampled by the conservatives. He would not let him be unlucky, Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Li Qingchen, Zeng Bu... a large group of people have no idea.

"But waiting is not a big deal. It may be really difficult for my uncle to return to Beijing. In addition, my uncle is demoted, so you might as well resign and take care of my uncle. Filial piety is the first priority. This move will not only help you get rid of the embarrassing situation today, but also let someone around you run around you who can trust. If it really doesn't work, just resign. At worst, you can go back to your hometown to establish a college. That's right? Besides, how long will you have to wait for you to be a Jinshi?

"Can it work?"

Fan Chong was boring to this official, and he was naturally moved by Li Kui's advice.

Li Kui smiled and said, "My filial piety is beautiful in our court. If you want to be filial to your uncle, no one will object? Besides, the days of exile are difficult. With you by your side, my uncle can at least save you a lot of worries."

Fan Chong had thought about this question, and after hearing this, he agreed: "I'll go back and think about it."

With Fan Chong's personality, he never speaks full. He said that he was thinking, but he was not thinking about it, but preparing to do it.

Leave Li's Mansion.

A large group of people came towards him. Fan Chong was suddenly stunned, his eyes fell on the man who was staring at the moon, and he was shocked: "Isn't this your Majesty?"

Fan Chong hurriedly took two steps and came to the front of Emperor Zhao Xu, just about to speak. However, Emperor Zhao Xu spoke first: "Chief Yuan, are you here to see Renjie?"

Zhao Xu is usually steady, but strangely, when he is outside, he winks and reminds Fan Chong. Fan Chong is so smart that he immediately understands that Zhao Xu is visiting privately. But he can't even call the emperor any more, right?

A moment of confusion.

Tong Guan beside Zhao Xu spoke: "My master Huang Liu has been wandering around here and find a place to rest."

"I have met Master Huang Liu." Fan Chong understood it and hurriedly bowed to give up the road in the middle. This made Li Bangyan, who followed him out of the mansion to see Fan Chong, puzzled. Fan Chong was a Jinshi master, why was the young man in front of him very high status? Even Fan Chong couldn't avoid it?

Zhao Xu did not continue to pay attention to Fan Chong and entered Li's mansion.

Li Bangyan did not dare to stop him, and hurried into the yard with a small step. Zhao Xu glanced at Li Bangyan and asked, "New?"

"The villain is Lord Li's history of books and history. The capital city that comes with Lord."

While speaking, Li Kui arrived and said to Li Bangyan: "You go to the money shop and hand this letter to the shopkeeper Qiu Mingren."

Li Bangyan really wanted to stay, but he had no choice but to leave Li Kui to him for some time.

But he always felt that Master Huang Liu's identity was not simple.

Li Kui bowed and led Zhao Xu into the yard. After seeing Zhao Xu, the third uncle snorted coldly and turned his head proudly to express his annoyance. Zhao Xu smiled helplessly and did not explain. Instead, he asked Li Kui: "Renjie, you have won a battle in the northwest, and the court has been quarreled. Some think that the role of artillery is exaggerated; some think that it is necessary to count the results before making a decision. But most important officials of the court have no objection to attacking Xixia.Renjie, do you think the opportunity is here now?"

Li Kui frowned slightly, and he looked up at Zhao Xu: "Young Master Huang, I have five strategies for Pingxia and are ready to submit a report to the court. Why don't you ask me to take a look at it?"

Zhao Xu immediately was happy and said to himself: "Li Kui is still reliable."
