"No, no, Wu Daguan, the Ximen family is really not short of money, even if you give 100,000 yuan, they will not give you Ximen Qing."

"Kid? Do you know how Simon's family made a living? People are healers, they can live and they can kill...... They are very good at these kinds of things. ”

Wu Haogu had already set off to the west at this time, because there was no Ximen Qing, and he was not in the mood to stay in Chaijiazhuang, so he went on the road with the old man Chai the next day. On the way, Wu Haogu discussed how to get Ximen Qing outside the old Chai who was walking peacefully.

Oh, in fact, it's not to get Ximen Qing in his hands, Ximen Qing has long been a martial artist. What Wu Haogu really wants is the support of the Ximen family - the Ximen family is also martial arts and businessmen, although they are at the bottom of the "Shinong Industry and Commerce", but their family has many children who can fight and do things.

Just look at Simon Woman's ability to be a female streamer, which can be seen!

If Wu Haogu wants to realize the ideal of building a "lighthouse of feudalism", it is not enough to have money and a backstage, and someone must help him do things. Wu Haogu's own clan can't be counted on at the moment, a group of old farmers who have read books, most of them have never even been to Luoyang City a few times in their lives, what are you doing?

And the Pan family can't rely on the door, the children of the Pan family are either gentle, or they are big masters, and their own families who can do things also have big deals, how can they do things for Wu Haogu?

Therefore, Wu Haogu can only count on the people of the Yanggu Ximen family at the moment.

If Wu Hao Gu Ba carries a sedan chair and marries Ximen Qing, and has another son surnamed Ximen to inherit the position of the head of the Ximen family, he can completely pull the Ximen family under his own banner. But he couldn't do without Pan Qiaolian, so he turned Ximen Qing into a side room, so this matter was a bit difficult.

But it's not inexplicable, otherwise Ximen Qing wouldn't have run back to Yanggu County by himself.

"Da Lang, you listen to the old man," the old man who received Wu Haogu's 3,000 yuan benefit fee (he hasn't gotten the cash yet) stroked his white beard, frowned, and said, "Money is not everything!" The affairs of the Simon family cannot be solved with money. ”

Can't use money? That's a problem......

"What's the point?" Wu Haogu saw that the old man Chai looked confident, and he knew that he had a way, so he hurriedly asked for advice.

"Officer!" Old man Chai looked at Wu Haogu with burning eyes, "The Ximen family is short of officials now, and it can't be an official who bought it...... Dalang, do you have a way? ”

Not only is there a lack of officials in the Ximen family, but there is also a lack of officials in Cangzhou Wudi and the Chai family!

The officials of the Song Dynasty were also divided into several grades, and in terms of origin, the most worthless thing was to donate as officials, even businessmen could not look down on them. Those who are higher than the donors are the special non-commissioned officers, although they are not promoted and cannot serve, but after all, they are part of the civilian officials and doctors. The more advanced ones are the shadow supplements and the promotion of officials, and the shadow supplements and the promotion of officials can be promoted and can be appointed to real positions, and if they are military attachés, they are from the right path. And the most senior officer, of course, is the non-commissioned officer who was born in the imperial examination.

"Baoju!" When Wu Haogu heard this, he suddenly became enlightened.

This time his trip to Liao made great contributions, and these credits were not his alone...... Ximen Qing doesn't have a copy? Without Ximen Qingwu and Gu Hao, even Ma Zhi would not know him, how could he come to Liao? If Ximen Qing is not a woman, she will be able to take credit for protecting an official by virtue of her busyness with Wu Hao Gu Saddle.

Now Ximen Qing can't be an official, and this quota can be given to the people of the Ximen family.

And once the people of the Ximen family accepted Wu Haogu's protection, then according to the tradition of the Song Dynasty, this person was Wu Haogu's disciple - if the young master of the Ximen family was Wu Haogu's disciple, then it would be logical for the women of Wuhao Guna's Ximen family to be concubines.

"Okay! Or there is a way outside the old chai. Wu Haogu stroked his palms and smiled, "Then I have to go back to Kaifeng Mansion first, explain the errand, and then go to the door, I can always get an ambassador, maybe there will be a dispatch, and when the time comes, I won't be beaten back." ”

Wu Haogu is now just a petty official of the ninth grade, and he doesn't have a long-term dispatch, so it is inconvenient to be promoted. However, when he reports all the merits of the Liao State, and then goes through Cai Jing's door, there is always an ambassador.

In addition, whether it is to aid the Bohai people or to build a lighthouse of feudalism, Wu Haogu needs to participate in and even preside.

Isn't that what the sending will be? Whether it is lifting the lighthouse city or managing the Hangu Sea Trade Division, there will be many subordinates, and the Ximen family is also a martial artist and a businessman, and they also happen to come to do things. At that time, there will be both official positions and dispatches, and the Yanggu Ximen family will have changed from a heroic man to a court eagle dog...... Why not sacrifice the hue of the woman Simon?

"Then the old man will go to Yanggu County first," Chai said with a smile, "Let's go and talk to Ximen Lao'er about this first." ”

"Okay, then there's work." Wu Haogu arched his hand, "This official still has a request, when this official has a new dispatch, can you invite a few heroes from the Chai family to help?" ”

This is actually doing the Chai family a favor, the Chai family needs officials like the Ximen family, and because of the limited financial resources, the Chai family does not have the ability to train too many children to respond to martial arts, and there is no background in poetry and books, so it is even more difficult to hold back the scholars. Following Wu Haogu to do things is a shortcut to becoming an official.

"Okay," Chai Lao was surprised for a while, and said with a smile, "I don't have the people of the Chai family, as long as the big officials can see it, they can follow the big officials." ”

……

"Get on your knees!"

In Yanggu County, inside the gate of the Ximen family's mansion, with an angry shout, Ximen Qing knelt down in front of the tablet of the ancestors of the Ximen family.

The old man had already heard his good granddaughter talk about "running prostituously" with Wu Haogu, and he also knew that Ximen Qing already had Wu Haogu's flesh and blood in his belly...... But this is not a matter, what really annoys the old man is that Wu Haogu has been engaged to marry the woman of the Pan family, and Ximen Qing can only be a concubine.

"You, you, don't you look at what kind of people my Simon family's ancestors and ancestors are, that is a generation of loyal martyrs, are you worthy of your ancestors like this? My Ximen family is a pure white family with no criminal men and no remarried daughters for generations...... "Ximen Lao'er coughed violently as he spoke, and while coughing, he raised his arm and pointed to the largest ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall of the Ximen family.

It reads, "The position of the servant Guanglu Doctor Ximen Zhong under the gate of the Great Yan Kingdom" - it turns out that the ancestors of the Ximen family have also produced great officials! The dignified squire and the Guanglu doctor are equivalent to today's prime ministers.

However, there is a bit of a problem with this Ximen loyal to the Great Yan Kingdom, and there are four emperors in this Great Yan Kingdom, namely An Lushan, An Qingxu, Shi Siming and Shi Chaoyi...... This Ximen Zhong was a servant of Shi Siming's era. When Shi Siming was murdered by his son Shi Chaoyi, he was assisting Shi Siming's other son, Shi Chaoqing, in Fan Yang. After Shi Chaoqing was killed by Shi Chaoyi's general Zhang Tongru, he led his troops to join Zhang Tongru in Youzhou City, and died heroically, which can be regarded as loyal to the country.

Although Ximen Zhong was loyal to the Great Yan Kingdom, but the Ximen family did not perish, a child of the Ximen family later followed the Youzhou Festival to make Li Huaixian mixed, and the Ximen family also became a member of the Youzhou Town Tooth Soldier Group, and participated in 24 Youzhou military rebellions, with 69 people dying heroically...... Participated in the killing of 19 knots envoys.

Later, in the Five Dynasties, the Ximen family also produced several generals of the Liu Yan Kingdom (Ji Yan during the Five Dynasties), and then followed Zhao Yanshou to surrender to the Khitan State and participated in the battle of Yelu Deguang's southern expedition to the Later Jin!

In the end, I don't know what the reason is, so I stayed in the Central Plains, did not return to Yanyun, nor did I serve as an official in the army, but became a wealthy man in Yanggu County and smuggled part-time.

Not to mention, the ancestors of the Simon family did not have criminals...... At least he hasn't been arrested by the government, but no one has ever been in prison or punished in the court.

Of course, such a prominent family background can't be publicized everywhere, so Wu Haogu and Fan Zhijin, who is now in love with Ximen Qing, don't fully know the past of the Ximen family.

"Big Daddy......" Ximen Qing looked at his "loyal ancestors", and then looked at the angry old man Ximen, and said aggrievedly, "My grandson is also for the sake of the lintel of the Ximen family, so he does not hesitate to sacrifice the ...... of hue"

"Nonsense!" The old man of Simon slapped the table, blew his beard and glared angrily, "The lintel of my house needs the help of the surnamed Wu?" What is he capable of? But there's just a few stinky money! ”

Ximen Qing said aggrievedly: "He is still a close friend of King Duan, and he is still a disciple of Master Cai......"

"Duanwang? The younger brother of the official family? ”

"Master Cai? Privy Deputy Cai Jing? ”

There were other old people in the ancestral hall of the Ximen family immediately, and naturally they were also the old-timers of the Ximen family. As soon as I heard that Wu Haogu had such a background, they were all interested-the descendants of a group of anti-thief rebels, what kind of scholar and doctor's shelf!

"Yes," Ximen Qing nodded, "And Wu Dalang's family is still a wealthy man in Kaifeng, with a family fortune of millions." This time, he also gave Ma Shibo 15,000 yuan to buy a festival envoy. ”

"Millions!"

"Qing'er," one of Ximen He's cousins asked at this time, "what good did Wu Dalang promise you?" ”

"Fourth brother, what do you say?" Ximen He shouted angrily, "What kind of person are you when you are Qing'er? ”

"Big brother," the other old man interjected, "don't be angry, you're all getting old, and it's not worth ...... when you're angry."

"Yes, now that the raw rice is ripe, what else can I do?"

"What should I do?" Ximen He still snorted coldly, "Expelled from the house!" ”

Eviction?

And then go to Wu Haogu as a concubine?

What is Simon Crane's idea?

Ximen He's two brothers glanced at each other and quickly shook their heads.

"This can't be done, Qing'er is not an ordinary person."

"Yes, she is the eldest daughter of my Simon family, how can she be expelled from her?"

Ximen He patted the table, "If you don't expel it, you can't be a concubine for the surnamed Wu!" ”

"So what to do?"

"yes, it's already like this......"

The two cousins of Ximen He were persuading, and someone suddenly announced outside the door: "The patriarch, the fourth uncle, the sixth uncle, the county government's Wang Zhusi and Zhou Matchmaker ask to meet." ”
