Jiang Liwei's hatred for Shen Xi has reached the point of no return, and he blames Shen Xi for all his failures in officialdom. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Shen Xi soaring, Jiang Liwei has no chance to compete with Shen Xi in the officialdom, after all, Shen Xi is the champion of the three yuan and the first, and he is only a martial artist, and there is no hope of victory just in terms of the future.

Now Shen Xi's official position is far above Jiang Liwei, if there is no strong backer, and this backer also has a grudge against Shen Xi, it is impossible to pull Shen Xi down from his high position.

The woman that Jiang Liwei gave to Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, was the key to his surprising victory, because this woman was extremely hostile to Shen Xi and thought that Shen Xi was an ungrateful "villain".

The two hit it off, Jiang Liwei sent the woman to Zhang Yanling's side, and the woman would try her best to get Zhang Yanling's favor, waiting for the opportunity to sow discord in Zhang Yanling's ears, so that the contradiction between Shen Xi and Zhang Yanling deepened, and the goal of eradicating Shen Xi in one fell swoop.

Although Shen Xi is smooth in officialdom, he has still offended many people over the years.

Among them, there are those who once helped Shen Xi but hated him in the end, such as Shen Xi's "old and dead" Hong Turbidity to Shen Xi because of Xie Yun'er's problem, and another example is Shen Xi's grandson Gao Chong, who once offended Gao Mingcheng in order to help Hong Zhuo.

Gao Mingcheng, the former household servant, died in the northwest in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, and his grandson Gao Chong was convicted and almost died in prison.

However, Gao Chong did not study in the Guozijian for three years, and in less than a year, he withdrew from the Guozijian, and the officials assigned him to the household department to work in accordance with the emperor's will.

However, although he has an official position, Gao Chong's life is still not easy.

The key is that the Zhang brothers put all the previous crimes of corruption and perversion of the law on Gao Mingcheng, and Gao Mingcheng "borrowed" all the money from the powerful in the capital and contributed it to his relatives, but with the death of Gao Mingcheng in battle, the Zhang brothers relied on the debt, and this account was attributed to the dead Gao Mingcheng.

In this era, no one can offset the debt by dying, and it is a matter of course for the father to repay the debt, so the huge foreign debt owed by Gao Mingcheng at the beginning was all pressed on his grandson Gao Chong.

Gao Chong sold all the family property, it was still not enough to pay off the debt, he is now a broken household, all he can do is to sell the things in the family as much as possible under the condition of ensuring food and clothing, after a few years, he has become much older, and he can't see that this is a young man in his twenties and in the prime of life, no matter how you look at it, he is a sick man who is not confused.

On this day, Gao Chong was selling a "thing" in the seller...... One of his favorite concubines.

The concubine's name is Li'er, but she is in her early twenties and has been in the Gao Mansion for four years. In the past four years, the concubine has experienced the whole process of the Gao family from glory to decline, and she is a woman from a small family in the south of the Yangtze River.

After Gao Chong was in trouble, this little concubine has been kept by Gao Chong because of her decent posture and speech and demeanor, but now, Gao Chong was forced to pay a debt by the creditor, and he didn't want to fill the debt directly with this little concubine, so he had to find a way to find a "decent family" for this little concubine, and sell more silver by the way to solve his urgent needs.

Ordinary people marry wives, pay attention to the right family, and concubines seek to be young and beautiful, preferably able to give birth and be a virgin in the boudoir.

In these years, machismo is very serious, the most basic requirement for a man to marry a wife and take a concubine is chastity, and it is very difficult for a married woman to find a family, unless some old people marry to continue the string.

But this poor child, who entered the Gao family at the age of sixteen, suffered at the age of eighteen, and even fell into prison for a few months, and his body was no longer innocent.

Gao Chong knew that if he used his pity to pay off his debts, he could pay a few taels of silver at most, after all, buying a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with buds to be released and a little bit of grace outside was only seven or eight taels of silver, and the year was not good, the supply exceeded demand, and even human trafficking was transferred to the buyer's market.

Gao Chong finally decided to go to an "old friend", and perhaps this "old friend" would give generously. In the end, it turned out that this "old friend" was indeed generous, and directly offered to buy Li'er for thirty taels of silver, and promised to treat him well and accept him as a concubine.

This person is Su Tong.

Su Tong has experienced ups and downs in the past few years in the capital, he thought that he could rely on his friendship with Shen Xi and stay in the capital to make a difference, but as a result, Shen Xi was released to the outside place, and his hopes were disappointed.

During this period in the capital, the Fujian and Guangdong regions experienced fluctuations in the tea market, and the Sujia tea garden suffered huge losses.

But just half a month ago, the good news from the south came, the autumn tea in Fujian and Guangdong was on the market, because of the strong business network established by Shen Xi in Fujian and Guangdong, so that the goods produced in the local area were surprisingly easy to sell, and those big families who planted tea and raised silkworms almost stayed at home and waited to count the money.

This is especially true in Shenxi's ancestral hometown of western Fujian, and after Su Tong checked the accounts, he found that the income from selling tea in this season alone exceeded twice that of previous good years.

Suddenly, Su Tong became generous again, but due to martial law in the capital, he didn't know what to buy to celebrate.

Su Tong thought about it, Gao Chong originally relied on his grandfather Gao Mingcheng to be the prefect of Tingzhou, and he punched and kicked me, which was a shame in his life, and now he is in such a difficult situation, and even his favorite concubine has to be sold, then I have nothing to be polite!

Yes, not only do I want to buy it, but I also want to ridicule it in front of you and make you lose face.

Now that I'm Su Tongdezhi, it's really God's eyes!

Gao Chong's sale of concubines has never been a glorious thing, this kind of transaction should have been carried out in a teahouse or a wine shop, but Gao Chong was afraid that people would know, so he proposed to send people directly to Su Tong's mansion.

Su Tong did not refuse, on this day Gao Chong hired a sedan chair and sat in it with Li'er, the two finally had some husband and wife feelings over the years, and when they were about to separate, Li'er cried non-stop, making it difficult for Gao Chong to give up.

But Gao Chong knew that even if he didn't sell his concubine, he wouldn't be able to keep it, and no one dared to rob his wife, because it was inconsistent with the "Da Ming Law", robbing a wife was a big crime, and he would be exiled at every turn, but the concubine was originally an "accessory", and even if others snatched it, this kind of thing would not help the government.

"Li'er, you have to understand, I want to help you find a good family, this Su Gongzi...... Anyway, I was born in a person, and I was a fellow villager when I was in Tingzhou Mansion in the past, and you will live a good life in the Su family in the future, don't forget me. ”

Gao Chong is not kind at this point, he has already sold the concubine, and he still wants the concubine to "forget me", which is like saying, you don't have a good life in the future, just immerse yourself in the pain of the past, it is best to have the opportunity to elope with me with the money of the Su family, or you will help me more when I am down.

Li'er just cried and didn't respond to Gao Chong.

Gao Chong said: "Li'er, don't worry, once I turn over, I will redeem you and our family will be reunited." ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

Li'er was not sad when she cried, but when she heard this, she was already crying like rain, and she couldn't cry.

Finally arrived at the door of Su's house, Su Tong had already brought two servants to wait at the door, Gao Chong took the lead in getting down from the sedan chair, and then helped Li'er out of the sedan chair, Li'er didn't dare to look up at his new master.

Su Tong's eyes lit up when he saw Li'er.

Su Tong's biggest problem is that he is lustful, and he has a unique fetish, others like little girls who are waiting to be released, but he covets other people's women.

For Su Tong, this pity is in her early twenties, it is the time to fade away the youthfulness of a girl and show the charm of a woman, the key is to marry someone, and her husband's family treats her badly, so she just marries her and pampers her, and this is still a noble woman who is his "big enemy", which makes him feel more happy.

Aren't you great at the beginning? Now even the most favored woman is mine!

"Master Gao, it's been a long time."

Su Tong specifically mentioned Gao Chong's "adult", in fact, Gao Chong is just a small official of the household department, saying that he has the official title from the seventh grade, but Emperor Hongzhi has long forgotten about this matter, and there is no suitable official vacancy on the part of the ministry, so now Gao Chong is making up for the post of the household department is the eighth grade of the grinding office, specializing in grinding and auditing.

After Gao Chong was a "criminal minister", he was very excluded in the officialdom, and with the residual power of the Zhang brothers, he had no way to give gifts, so he could only guard the yamen, and in addition to satisfying the family's food and clothing, he had to take out everything else to pay off his debts.

As a court official of the eighth grade of the imperial court, Gao Chong saw Su Tong bowing as usual, and nodded: "Master Su, don't dare to be." Someone brought it to you, you see...... Does it fit your eyes? ”

Su Tong glanced at Lian'er again, naturally satisfied in his heart, and nodded: "Let's go, talk inside!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Gao Chong helped Li'er, and the two helped each other to complete the last journey. Entering the gate of Su Mansion, Gao Chong's steps were slow, he never thought that the first time he came to Su Tong's mansion, it was actually to sell concubines.

Thinking of the infinite scenery at the beginning, Gao Chong felt a loss from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't have a rut, he only hated himself for not studying hard, and now he just got a shady official position from the Guozijian, which is both the beginning and the end, and there is not much chance to rise to the top in the officialdom in the future.

Although Su Tong is only a person now, he usually starts as an eighth or ninth rank official when he is sent to the yamen, but if he is lucky, he can serve as a county magistrate, and he can be replaced as a magistrate in the future. Moreover, Su Tong is young, and the chance of being admitted to the Jinshi is very high.

After all, Su Tong has a classmate Shen Xi, who was born in Hanlin and is now a member of the second rank of the imperial court, as a backer in the court, and it can be said that he has a bright future.

Entering the main hall, Su Tong sat down in the main seat and stretched out his hand to invite: "Lord Gao, please sit!" ”

"Yes."

Gao Chong sat down, but Li'er was not qualified to sit down.

You must know that on weekdays, Li'er doesn't even have the opportunity to enter the house, but this time she can enter the main hall entirely because this is about her business, which is equivalent to her being a traded goods.

In the lobby were several witnesses invited by Sutong.

Su Tong waved his hand, and the servant sent a wooden box and a few contracts over, Su Tong picked it up and checked it first, and said, "Lord Gao, this is a contract of sale, from now on, Ling ...... Madame will be my Su family, and she will have nothing to do with the Gao family after birth, death, and burial. In addition, there are 30 taels of silver, and after checking that it is correct, you can sign and draw it. ”
