happy rebirth

Xie Jinhua is not interested in the affairs of the court.However, he is willing to find topics to chat with Ke Qi.Sometimes people can chat in full swing, not because of the topic itself, but because of the person who can chat with him.For Xie Jinhua, Ke Qi is such a person.

This can also be said in reverse.When Xie Jinhua tasted poems and paintings, Ke Qi was always happy to listen to them, not because he was really attracted by poems and paintings, but because he was attracted by the radiant Xie Jinhua.Because you are happy, so I become so happy.

Xie Jinhua let Ke Qi lie on the warm couch for a while, and asked, "What have you been up to with big brother today?"

If you want to use flowers to describe people, Xie Jinhua should be a potted orchid.He can either be raised in a greenhouse and be carefully cared for; or he can simply grow alone in the valley without disputes or turmoil.But even if this is the case, Ke Qi will not intentionally lead Xie Jinhua to simplicity under the banner of being good for Xie Jinhua.

As long as Xie Chunying did not specifically emphasize that certain things cannot be told to Xie Jinhua, then Ke Qi would not hide Xie Jinhua.In Ke Qi's view, only those who can distinguish right from wrong and have a certain degree of judgment are qualified to be innocent, otherwise they are simply stupid.

Ke Qi picked out some key points to tell Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua asked a little puzzled: "The previous dynasty has been destroyed for so many years, why are there still people willing to make plans for it?"

"Are you talking about those orphans? They should all be brainwashed, they are pawns." Ke Qi counted for Xie Jinhua with his fingers, "When the previous dynasty fell, there must have been a small group of people who hid. They Although it cannot change the general trend of the world, it is still easy to hide and adopt some orphans in a certain place. Orphans cannot be too old, and they are not easy to be controlled. If the first batch of orphans is between one and eight years old It is now 17 years of Karry, and the youngest of them is already 25 years old. These people must have been used one after another.”

In this era, a small natural disaster can break countless families, so young children without fathers and mothers cannot be regarded as scarce resources.Otherwise, they can go to remote mountain villages to buy children from poor families.Raising orphans rarely attracts attention.

Xie Jinhua thought for a while, then shook his head, and asked, "I don't understand... don't these 'chess pieces' have their own ideas?"

"If you have your own ideas, you can't be considered brainwashed." Ke Qi sighed, "It is said that the former royal family kept dark guards. In order to ensure the loyalty of these dark guards, the royal family must have a whole set of brainwashing methods. They will firmly control the person they choose from body to heart."

Before time travel, Ke Qi saw many people in the news who were brainwashed by cults to go to prison or brainwashed by pyramid schemes to donate money and sacrifice their lives.Normal people cannot understand the thoughts of those who have been brainwashed.Since the former forces were able to hide it so well, it shows that their brainwashing was very successful.

Ke Qi glanced at the chessboard, dropped a piece on it itchingly, and said: "However, some people's pattern is just like this, they only know how to stare at other people's inner houses... It will be 18 years of Kai Rui Now, the emperor's position is getting more and more stable, I see what they can do!"

Xie Jinhua had been playing chess with himself all the time, but now seeing that Ke Qi had chosen a side, he played chess with Ke Qi cooperatively, saying: "Since they can place women in everyone's backyard, is it possible to play chess with Ke Qi?" Installing officials in the court? They must have also raised boys, right?"

There must be people in the court who obeyed the power of the former dynasty, otherwise why are there no problems with the household registration of those orphans?These people are not necessarily brainwashed, some of them may be because of greed, some may be because they were caught, and some may just be foolish and loyal!

But Xie Jinhua didn't mean that.

"You mean, they may send orphans to study and then let them take the imperial examination? This situation may exist, but it is definitely rare. As I said before, when they select orphans, they must not I will choose those who are very old. How many Jinshi are under the age of 23? Even if they have been brainwashed, there are not twenty of them, right? Therefore, it is far less convenient to train boys than to train girls."

The average age of Anchao Jinshi is about 32 years old.

Xie Jinhua sighed inexplicably: "Since ancient times, men's ambitions have been used to make women take care of their lives, but they still have to talk about beauty troubles."

Ke Qi was silent.

There are men like this in every era, but this time it is even more serious.They succeeded because they had the means; they failed because women held them back.Let's take the demise of the previous life as an example. It is clear that the entire dynasty was ruined in the hands of several generations of Yan family men, but some people say that the current eldest princess is a disaster.She is the queen, did she choose it herself?She is the eldest princess, did she want it herself?

Not long after, Ke Qi was about to lose.

Xie Jinhua didn't care about winning or losing, so he flipped the chessboard over. He took the side that was in decline, and let Ke Qi take the side that belonged to him, and the two continued to play.Even so, Ke Qi looked like he was about to lose again.

"You are restless." Xie Jinhua said.

"I thought about it, and I think the situation you mentioned earlier may happen. They should have also trained boys. Boys are young, and it is too difficult to be admitted to Jinshi, but as long as they can bear hardships, it is much easier to be admitted to be a scholar." Ke Qi's mind was full of these things, so he was naturally distracted while playing chess.

"Scholar? What's the use of talent?" Xie Jinhua asked.

In the officialdom system of the An Dynasty, one can be awarded an official by becoming a juren, but only some small officials.

A scholar is not qualified to be an official.

Ke Qi said: "If a noble son becomes a scholar, as long as he continues to study hard, the family will pave the way for him. But for those poor people who have no connections, they not only need to continue studying, but also consider The way out in the future, so some of them will choose to be a nobleman's assistant for a few years." And a successful assistant can often know a lot of secret information, and can also influence the master's thinking on certain decisions.

There are concubines inside, and staff members outside, and all the forces in Beijing have been infiltrated in this way.

"It's worth investigating. Will Big Brother investigate?" Xie Jinhua asked.

Seeing that the situation on the chessboard was getting better again, Xie Jinhua fell into distress.He frowned, as if he didn't know what to do.Ke Qi is not in the mood today, and he always misses things when playing chess. If Xie Jinhua doesn't make careful calculations and try his best to plan, I'm afraid Ke Qi will lose soon.

Or, exchange the board again?

"Brother can't interfere anymore. If it is discovered that Brother is investigating other people's confidantes, what will the world think? They won't believe that Brother is investigating the power of the former dynasty, they will only think that Brother wants to deal with them Take the shot, and then the big brother will become the target of public criticism."

"That's true." Xie Jinhua thought for a long time, and finally made a move on the chessboard.

Ke Qi followed suit.

Xie Jinhua turned to other things, and said with a smile: "By the way, the second sister-in-law asked me to write a few gift lists for her today."

New Years and New Years is the time for gift giving.The Zhuang family is now in charge of the inner house of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, so gifts must be given in every aspect.She asked Xie Jinhua to help write the gift list, one is because Xie Jinhua's handwriting is beautiful, and the other is to give Xie Jinhua a very concealed opportunity to express himself.

Ke Qi's mind immediately tensed up.

The recipients are often the hostesses, most of them are born well, and have a certain degree of literary accomplishment. How can we not see that Xie Jinhua is very talented in calligraphy through the gift list?When Xie Jinhua made his mark in the imperial examinations, would they send concubine daughters to him as concubines because of their talents?

Ke Qi's face darkened.

Concerned about chaos, in fact, Ke Qi is completely overthinking at this moment.

Mrs. Zhuang is a smart person, and she wrote most of the gift lists for human relations, which is her responsibility as the wife of the family.The few gift lists she asked Xie Jinhua to write were not for communication with in-laws, but for communication with contacts.If it is between in-laws, the mistress can seal it directly into the treasury after accepting the gift.But for the gift of maintaining connections, for example, if there is a gift for Gongsun Shanzhang, then when Mrs. Gongsun receives the gift, she must show it to Gongsun Shanzhang, so that Gongsun Shanzhang can know it well. Won't spoil man's business.

In other words, most of the gift lists written by Xie Jinhua can be seen by the heads of various families.

The Zhuang family did this not because of anyone's orders, nor because she wanted to curry favor with Xie Jinhua seeing his bright future, but simply because she felt that such an arrangement was the best for the family.Now that she and Xie Er are husband and wife, she must have selfishness, but she will never be confused about major matters.

Now that she can help Xie Jinhua with some things, how can Xie Jinhua not support her son Moon Cake with some things in the future?

This is the so-called family.

As soon as Ke Qi was distracted, the stalemate on the chessboard came alive.He seems to have a little chance of winning again.

Xie Jinhua was waiting for Ke Qi to settle down, but Ke Qi said sourly: "The gift list you wrote is itself a great gift."

Xie Jinhua didn't think much about it, he just thought that Ke Qi was praising her handwriting, and said: "Second sister-in-law didn't mean that... She asked me for help, she must want to mention me on these matters, so that we In the future, there will be traces to follow when giving gifts, and you don’t have to be caught blind. Brother Ke, if you are a woman, the second sister-in-law will definitely ask you to help, so that she can teach you in these things. But now, you are valued by the elder brother, and only I Struggling up."

Of course, the matter of giving gifts can be left to the confidants and stewards, but the master must be able to know what to do.Zhuang's sister-in-law is really dedicated. She must have considered one thing. In the couple's small family, one of them must understand this.

However, Mrs. Zhuang made a mistake in her calculations. She thought that Ke Qi would follow Xie Chunying's side, and in the future she would definitely be the outsider, so Xie Jinhua would be the one inside.In fact, Ke Qi can fully grasp the inside and outside, and then Xie Jinhua only needs to read books, practice calligraphy, and raise flowers and plants.

When Ke Qi heard this, he felt happy again, and said, "Second sister-in-law is really thoughtful." As long as Xie Jinhua is not allowed to take a concubine, it will be fine.

The game of chess between the two did not look like a war, but like a tango.Ke Qi has been sorting out the information, thinking about whether there is anything that has been missed today, and thinking about what needs to be done tomorrow.And Xie Jinhua has been focusing on the chessboard, and finally made a game of chess full of holes into a draw.

"It's not easy, it's not easy." Xie Jinhua shook his head and picked up the chess pieces back into the chess box.

Ke Qi shamelessly said, "Who told you to draw."

"You're so good at being cheap!" Xie Jinhua laughed angrily.

In this game of chess, in fact, neither of them cares about winning or losing, and it is completely fun to play a game.

Ke Qi couldn't help laughing, shaking his head and said: "The thinking is really clearer, playing chess with you can really relax."

"Ke Di is a typical example of being proud of favors, right?"

"Ah, it is indeed my favorite."
