"Count you kid with a heart!!" Lu Gui pointed at Cao Yongyi with satisfaction, and then said: "Don't worry, although I am old, I am not confused, I called you this time to introduce you to a friend of mine, and ask him to bless your future!" ”

"......" Cao Yongyi himself didn't expect that Lu Gui would turn around and plan and arrange a backer for himself, and he was stunned all of a sudden.

The officialdom is already very ruthless, if it weren't for Cao Yongyi, who came from the bottom, and his background and strength were not enough, how could he only have Lu Gui as a backer. It's not that he hasn't looked for other relationships over the years, but to be honest, there are very few people who can take a fancy to him.

First, Cao Yongyi is greedy for money and afraid of death, his ability to do things is not enough, and he is a notoriously afraid of things, he wants to hide in everything, who would find such a waste as a minion!

Second, it was also Cao Yongyi who took refuge in Gao Yu a few years ago, and became a thorn in the side of Fujian officialdom, and he had to be very careful in what he said and did, so he didn't have the opportunity to make extra money. Coupled with his ordinary background, his family can't help him at all, and if he wants to find a good backer, the capital is really not enough.

Lu Gui is now taking care of him in advance, to be honest, Cao Yongyi himself is a little apprehensive, he doesn't know what Lu Gui is selling in his heart.

It's just that Lu Gui's words dispelled his doubts: "But the miscellaneous family didn't help you for nothing, and the miscellaneous family should also keep an account for you!" I'm old, this time I should retire in the old age, and I can only rely on the savings I have saved over the years, you can't let the old man of the miscellaneous family help you with the coffin! ”

"That's that, how can you get old money, although the lower officials are not capable, but these silver coins should still be paid!" Cao Yongyi's face was pleasantly surprised, and when Lu Gui said this, he dispelled his doubts.

"Of course, if it weren't for the simplicity of your kid and knowing the return, and not forgetting his roots, otherwise the miscellaneous family wouldn't be cheeky enough to find that friend to help you!" Lu Gui looked at Cao Yongyi with an attitude of hard work and hard work: "In the future, my two unsuccessful children still need the help of friends like you who know how to repay the kindness, otherwise after the miscellaneous family drives to the west, I am afraid that there are not many guys who want to take away the miscellaneous family's belongings!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Yongyi can be regarded as coming back to his senses, feeling that Lu Gui made a wedding dress for him this time, but the reward he asked for was not low!

"Even if you don't say it, the lower officials think that they will not forget your old cultivation grace." Cao Yongyi still lowered his head and replied to Lu Gui very respectfully.

The two talked here without hesitation, but Li Tianyang on the side had nothing to do, staring intently at the teacup in his hand, as if the whole person was a piece of unconscious wood.

"Okay, you hurry up and prepare, in two days I invited my old friend to be a guest in Willow Springs, you can come along!" Very satisfied with Cao Yongyi's reply, Lu Gui slowly explained his arrangements.

"Then I don't know if my little brother can ......" Until this time, Cao Yongyi had not forgotten Li Tianyang, and he was still a bit conscientious, but Lu Gui glanced at Li Tianyang, and there was a rather disapproving look in his eyes.

Fortunately, Lu Gui saw that Cao Yongyi's expression was resolute enough, and the relationship between himself and that old friend was not bad, so he didn't care about taking one more person to meet his old friend.

"More fathers-in-law!" It was only at this time that Li Tianyang came to his senses and bowed respectfully to Lu Gui, waiting for such a long time, wasn't it just Lu Gui's words at this time?

Of course, what Cao Yongyi said for Li Tianyang was also expected by Li Tianyang, because Li Tianyang bought it for five thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, Cao Yongyi would not be blindsided, and when it was closely related to his official fortune, he also brought Li Tianyang to the game, didn't he think he was not troublesome enough?

Then the business came to an end, and Lu Gui had no other interest to continue to pull Cao Yongyi and them to accompany him, after all, the old man's energy was limited, and he was working and talking to Cao Yongyi about the taboos of the nobles who saw him this time, which was already quite exhausting to the old man.

Seeing that her husband was depressed, Cao Yongyi and the two of them also confessed to Lu Gui in a knowing and interesting way, and bowed down and left Lu Gui's house.

When Cao Yongyi and the others left, Lu Gui, who was still tired, had a gleam in his eyes, and asked his subordinates to open the gifts sent by Cao Yongyi and Li Tianyang one by one to verify their value.

It's not that Lu Gui, the old man, is greedy for money, he has seen the wind and waves over the years, and now he is not so poor that he hurriedly opened the gifts sent by others.

It's just that now it's about finding a good helper for his family after he goes, so he can't help but be extremely careful to observe Cao Yongyi's temperament. A deputy commander of the guard post who was thousands of miles away, the military attache from Sanpin really didn't have enough energy to be his helper for his family after Lu Gui went.

Therefore, this time, Lu Gui hopes to make Cao Yongyi go to the next level, step into an official position above the second grade, and be able to transfer Cao Yongyi to Ying Tianfu to deal with the errand, so that Lu Gui's two sons and daughters can have something to rely on.

Now, although it is Wei Zhongxian, the little emperor of the Apocalypse, who is in charge of the ceremonial eunuch, he has just been appointed as the governor of Dongchang in April, and his authority is even greater. However, the battle between their eunuch group and the Donglin Party in the court has become more and more intense, and the Donglin Party, who is unwilling to be swept away by Wei Zhongxian's factory workers, has stirred up the court and is now very lively.

Therefore, if you want to get a little-known little guard commander at this juncture, in addition to spending a lot of silver money, he Lu Gui's relationships in the palace over the years can be used, but it is not something that can be bought with a little silver.

Of course, Lu Gui also knows very well that the officialdom is still in the capital at this time, and his relationships may still be of some use, but when he goes to Yingtian Mansion and dies, his relationships will not be on the face of a dead man, and he will take care of his children!

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity that these relationships can still be maintained while he is still in the capital, it is only right to quickly find a successor to pass on these relationships and get some benefits.

However, for the character of this successor, he Lu Gui really has to consider and consider, just hope that this time he will not be dizzy and blind, and choose a shameless and unrighteous person, it will be sad.

However, when Lu Gui opened the gift that Cao Yongyi had prepared for him, his eyes finally relaxed: it seems that Cao Yongyi's gift is not much, but just one of the calligraphy and paintings has more than 10,000 taels of silver
