Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 829 Changes in Attitude
Cui Jie's words were resounding, revealing an undeniable taste.

When chatting with Li Qinzai last night, she still had a glimmer of hope. She felt that if the two cousins ​​were really talented in arithmetic, then it would not be difficult for her husband to accommodate them. , the husband is not guilty.

However, after today's face-to-face assessment, Cui Jie was completely heartbroken.

Only now did she understand that the two clan children that her father Cui Linqian had brought over had no ability to obtain fame at all. He was purely seeking an official position for the clan children.

Although the current aristocratic family is frequently suppressed by the emperor, the power of the aristocratic family is still there, and the relationship between the aristocratic family and the royal family is very subtle, not purely hostile, nor purely mutual use.

In peaceful times, the royal family and the aristocratic family are in a shared relationship, and both are prosperous, but in private, intrigues and rivalries are inevitable.

If the world is in chaos and the royal family is in decline, then the aristocratic family will not be polite. The country is home to the capable, and no one will be foolish and loyal to protect the royal family.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were frequent civil upheavals in various places, and rebels spread all over the world. Were the aristocratic families at that time polite to Emperor Sui Yang?It took just over a year to completely overthrow the Sui Dynasty by joining hands with Li Yuan.

Until now, the relationship between the royal family and the aristocratic family is still very delicate, and the scientific research carried out after the emperor ascended the throne has become a hostile factor between the royal family and the aristocratic family.

Under such preconditions, Cui Linqian insisted that Li Qinzai give him two honors, obviously in order to allow the Cui family in Qingzhou to place two more pawns in the court and install more power.

Cui Jie was full of resentment.

The royal family and the aristocratic family are fighting openly and covertly. Why does my husband get involved?
Even your son-in-law uses it, is there any humanity left?

"Come on, come back with me." Cui Jie put away the test paper and walked out.

A group of students hurriedly bowed to see them off, and Cui Ling and Cui Rui followed behind the cousin nervously.

A pregnant woman's temper is more violent than usual. Today, her father used favors to force her husband to do something she didn't want to do. Cui Jie was already very annoyed, so she didn't care about blood relationship.

Leading the two cousins ​​back from the school to the other courtyard, Cui Jie walked into the backyard with the support of two old women, pushed open the door of Cui Linqian's room, and was about to get angry when she entered, but suddenly found Li Qinzai and Cui Linqian sitting opposite each other , Weng and his son-in-law were chatting harmoniously.

Seeing Cui Jie coming in, Cui Linqian's smile suddenly sank.

"Did you even forget your tutor when you're married? Have you knocked on the door?"

Cui Jie pursed her mouth and looked at Li Qinzai a little bit wronged.

Li Qinzai continued with a smile: "Of course the person who gets married is from my Li family. In our Li family, Jie'er has no taboos. She is the master of the house. No matter which room the master enters, he doesn't need to knock on the door."

Cui Jie looked at Li Qinzai with a moved and sweet smile.

Cui Linqian was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "My son-in-law, even though you are the daughter of this old man, you can't be too pampered. There should be rules in the family. My daughter of the Cui family has been educated in etiquette since elementary school, so she can't marry her." It makes people laugh when they become vulgar and disrespectful."

"It doesn't matter if Jie'er sets the house on fire. My woman can do whatever she likes. If anyone dares to make fun of her, I'll kill him." Li Qinzai said with the same smile.

Cui Linqian was stunned, and he just remembered that this virtuous son-in-law in front of him is not a good person. His deeds have been famous all over the world in these years. Although he did not hold a position in the court, no one in the court dared to provoke him.

Cui Jie unconsciously took Li Qinzai's arm, sat side by side with him, pouted and said, "Father, Cui Ling and Cui Rui are really not suitable..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Qinzai suddenly interrupted her, and said with a smile: "Jie'er, I just talked with my father-in-law. During the scientific examination, I will accommodate your two cousins. It's just two honors. , it’s just a matter of raising your hands.”

Cui Linqian stroked his beard and smiled gratifiedly.

Cui Jie was shocked, and said: "Husband, you...have you thought twice?"

Li Qinzai nodded: "Of course my family has to help my family. Otherwise, if my father-in-law betrothed you to me, wouldn't I be in a hurry? Just marrying my beautiful daughter to me for my father-in-law, I can't let my father-in-law down, right?"

Cui Linqian became more and more relieved, he stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "The son-in-law is really very transparent in his life, and with his wealth, it is not a problem to be appointed as a marquis in the future."

Li Qinzai said humbly: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law has already been granted the title of Marquis..."

Cui Jie was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly, stretched her hand to a corner that Cui Linqian couldn't see, and pinched Li Qinzai hard, but said with a frightening smile on her face, "Could it be that my husband was hungover last night? Just now I took two sets of test papers." Made it for my cousins, my husband knows that they..."

Before finishing speaking, Li Qinzai interrupted: "It's okay, the test papers are not important, and what you do is not important, what is important is the father-in-law's heart to help the children of the clan. As a son-in-law, of course I have to share with you The father-in-law stands together and opens a convenient door to wait for other matters, so Madam doesn't need to say much."

Cui Linqian became more and more delighted, and the son-in-law in front of him became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Then think about my son Cui Sheng who is a scholar in the palace. He has a domineering and ruthless CEO face all year round. Compared with this interpretive and considerate son-in-law in front of him, he should be thrown into his mother's belly again. Give it a makeover.

Seeing that Cui Linqian was happy and happy, Li Qinzai also smiled and said: "My father-in-law, the two elder brothers and son-in-law must be convenient. They are nothing more than two fame. However, the scientific examination is a major event that the emperor attaches great importance to. The son-in-law can only promise to do it within the scope of his authority. help inside."

"If it exceeds the scope of my son-in-law's authority, please forgive my son-in-law for his inability to do anything. After all, the emperor can't cause the emperor to have a rift with his son-in-law for the sake of the two younger brothers. Then the gain will outweigh the loss. Does my father-in-law think so?"

Cui Linqian laughed and said, "You are the one who set the question. As long as the son-in-law reveals the topic in advance, he doesn't have to worry about anything else."

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "I really can't reveal the topic. My son-in-law can't decide on the scientific examination questions alone. He has to participate in the research with the Ministry of Rites, the doctor of the National Supervision Department and other officials. Only after asking the emperor to read it can it be finalized." .”

"Before the question is given, the son-in-law will be locked up and not see any outsiders. This is also to avoid suspicion. The scientific examination questions can't be disclosed."

Cui Linqian nodded in understanding. He actually knew a little about the general process of the scientific examination, and knew that Li Qinzai was telling the truth.

So Cui Linqian said again: "Then let's change the method. When the son-in-law marks the examination papers of the candidates, why not make it easier for the two sons of the clan?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "That's okay, my son-in-law is barely competent, unless there are other changes."

Cui Linqian said happily: "That's it, let's make a deal, the old man is waiting for good news from your virtuous son-in-law."

Weng and his son-in-law broke up happily, and Li Qinzai helped Cui Jie to leave the house.

Back in the wing room in the backyard, Cui Jie was so angry that she gave him a hard pinch, and said angrily: "The concubine tried her best to help the husband reject father's unreasonable request, why did the husband agree to him? Didn't you say that the rules cannot be broken?" ?”

Li Qinzai blinked: "Of course the rules cannot be broken, but... the rules are dead, but people are alive."

"What do you mean, sir?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Madam don't have to worry about the next thing. Let me handle it. I will ensure that while not breaking the rules, I won't offend my father-in-law. Madam will take care of the baby and try to give me a big fat son. Big fat daughters are fine too."

Cui Jie snorted, and said: "It must be a son, it cannot be a daughter, I have a strong premonition."

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "It is inconvenient for me to say something directly to my father-in-law. Since I have helped my father-in-law this time, can this help be in vain? Help me to hint to your father, I hope your father Know something..."
