"No, no, Wuda official, the Ximen family is really not short of money. Even if you give 100,000 yuan, they will not give Ximen Qing to you."

"Child? Do you know what the Ximen family makes for? They are doctors, they can live and kill people... They are very good at this."

Wu Haogu had already set off for the west at this time. Because without Ximen Qing, he was not in the mood to stay in Chaijiazhuang. The next day he set off with Old Man Chai. On the way, Old Man Chai, who was walking peacefully, discussed how to get Ximen Qing.

Oh, in fact, it is not about getting Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing has long been a member of Wu Haogu. What Wu Haogu really wants is the support of the Ximen family - the Ximen family is both Wu and Shang. Although it is at the bottom of "scholars, farmers, industrialists and commerce", their family has many children who can fight and do things.

Just look at the ability of a female female hero, Ximen!

If Wu Haogu wants to realize the ideal of building a "feudal beacon", it is not enough to have money and a backstage alone, and someone has to help him do things. Wu Haogu's own clan is currently unreliable. A group of old farmers who have studied, most of them have not even been to Luoyang City several times in their lives. What are you doing?

The Pan family's generals are not reliable. The Pan family's children are either playboys or big masters. Those who know how to do things also have big business. How can they do things for Wu Haogu?

Therefore, the only people from the Ximen family in Yanggu are those who can count on Wu Haogu.

If Wu Haogu Ba carried a sedan chair and married Ximen Qing, and had another son named Ximen to inherit the position of head of Ximen, he could have brought the Ximen family under his own charge. However, he could not leave Pan Qiaolian, so he turned Ximen Qing into a side room, so this matter would be a bit difficult.

But it was not unsolvable, otherwise Ximen Qing would not have run back to Yanggu County by himself.

"Dalang, listen to me," Mr. Chai, who had collected the three thousand scoops of Wu Haogu (having not received the cash yet), stroked his white beard and frowned, "Money is not omnipotent! The Ximen family's affairs cannot be solved with money."

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

"What's the point?" Wu Haogu saw Old Man Chai looking confident, and knew that he had a solution, so he quickly asked for advice.

"Official!" Old Man Chai looked at Wu Haogu with bright eyes, "The Ximen family is short of officials now, and they can't be the one they bought... Dalang, do you have any solutions?"

It’s not just the Ximen family lacks officials, but the Wudi Chai family in Cangzhou is also lacking officials!

The officials of the Song Dynasty were divided into several levels. Judging from their origins, the least valuable one was to donate to be an official, and even merchants looked down upon it. Those who were higher than donated were special officials and officials. Although they were not promoted or not, they were part of civil servants and officials. The more advanced ones were to be promoted, and those who were recommended to be promoted can be promoted and held in real positions. If they were military officers, they were from the right path. The most senior officials were of course the imperial examination.

"Recommendation!" Wu Haogu suddenly became enlightened when he heard this.

This time he made great contributions to the Liao Kingdom trip, and these contributions were not his own... Ximen Qing did not have any credit? Without Ximen Qing, Wu Haogu, even Ma Zhi, how could he have come to the Liao Kingdom trip? If Ximen Qing was not a woman, she would have been able to protect an official by following Wu Haogu's busyness.

Now Ximen Qing cannot be an official, so this quota can be given to the people of the Ximen family.

Once the people of the Ximen family accepted Wu Haogu's recommendation, according to the tradition of the Song Dynasty, this person was a disciple of Wu Haogu. If the young master of the Ximen family was a disciple of Wu Haogu, then it would be natural for Wu Haogu to be a concubine of the Ximen family.

"Okay! Mr. Chai has a way." Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Then I have to go back to Kaifeng Mansion first, explain the errands, and then go to the door. I can always get an ambassador. Maybe I can still have a job, and I will not be given a ticket when the recommendation is recommended."

Wu Haogu is now just a ninth rank official, and he has no long-term dispatch, so it is not convenient to recommend him. However, when he reports all his contributions to the Liao Kingdom, he will take Cai Jing's path, and there is always an ambassador.

In addition, whether it is to aid the Bohai people or build a feudal beacon, Wu Haogu needs to participate or even preside over it.

Wouldn't the dispatch come like this? Whether it is the recruitment of the Lighthouse City or the Gouhai Trade Department, there will be many subordinates. The Ximen family, both martial and businessmen, are just right to do business. At that time, both official positions and dispatches will be there, and the Ximen family in Yanggu will transform from a hero in the martial arts world into a hawk in the court... What's wrong with the female hero in Ximen who sacrificed her appearance?

"Then I will go to Yanggu County first," said Mr. Chai with a smile, "Go and talk about this with Mr. Ximen first."

"Okay, then I'll have a hard time." Wu Haogu Gong bowed, "I have another request. When I have a new dispatch, can I ask a few heroes from the Chai family to help?"

This is actually helping the Chai family. The Chai family needs officials just like the Ximen family. Moreover, due to financial resources, the Chai family does not have the ability to train too many children to take the military exam, nor does it have the foundation of passing on poetry and books, so it is even more difficult to hold up a scholar in the Jinshi. Following Wu Haogu to do things is a shortcut to obtain an official position.

"Okay," Mr. Chai was surprised and smiled, "As long as the people from my Wudi Chai family are favored by the high officials, they can follow the high officials."

...

"Kneel down!"

In the Yanggu County, within the Ximen family's mansion, with an angry shout, Ximen Qing knelt down before the tablets of the ancestors of the Ximen family with a thunderous sound.

The person who made this angry shout was the patriarch of the Ximen family, Ximen Qing's grandfather Ximen He. The old man had heard his good granddaughter say about "elusion" with Wu Haogu, and also knew that Ximen Qing had already had Wu Haogu's flesh and blood in his belly... But this was not a matter. What really annoyed the old man was that Wu Haogu had already married the woman from the Pan family's general, so Ximen Qing could only be a concubine.

"You, you, don't look at what kind of people the ancestors of the Ximen family are. They are loyal and wise for generations. Can you be worthy of your ancestors like this? My Ximen family is a innocent family with no crimes for generations and no remarried daughter..." As Ximen said, she coughed suddenly, and while coughing, she raised her arm and pointed at the largest ancestral tablet in the Ximen family's ancestral hall.

It reads "The position of Ximen Zhong, the minister of the Dayan Kingdom, is the minister of Guanglu, the minister of the Great Yan Kingdom." It turns out that the ancestors of the Ximen family also had high officials! The minister of the subordinates and Guanglu, the minister of the great minister of the country, is equivalent to the current prime minister.

However, there are some problems with the Dayan Kingdom where Ximen Zhong was loyal to him. There were four emperors in this Dayan Kingdom, namely An Lushan, An Qingxu, Shi Siming and Shi Chaoyi... This Ximen Zhong was a disciple of the Shi Siming 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 was considered to be a loyalty for the country.

Although Ximen Zhong fulfilled his loyalty for the Great Yan Kingdom, the Ximen family did not perish because of this. A child of the Ximen family later joined the Youzhou Jiedushi Li Huaixian. The Ximen clan became a member of the Youzhou Zhenya Bing Group. He participated in 24 Youzhou military chaos, and 69 people died heroically... and participated in the killing of 19 Jiedushi.

Later in the Five Dynasties, the Ximen family also produced several generals from the Liu Yan Kingdom (Jie Yan during the Five Dynasties). Later, they surrendered to the Khitan Kingdom with Zhao Yanshou and participated in Yelu Deguang's southern expedition to the Later Jin Dynasty!

In the end, for some reason, he stayed in the Central Plains, did not return to Yanyun, nor did he become an official in the army, but instead worked as a rich man in Yanggu County to smuggle part-time.

Not to mention, the ancestors of the Ximen family did not have any criminals...at least they had not been arrested by the government, but no one had been jailed or had made people clear and punished in the court.

Of course, such a prominent family background cannot be hyped everywhere, so Wu Haogu and Fan Zhijin, who are now interested in Ximen Qing, are not completely aware of the past of the Ximen family.

"Big Dad..." Ximen Qing looked at his "loyal and martyred ancestors" and looked at the angry old man Ximen, and said aggrievedly, "The grandson sacrificed his lust for the sake of the Ximen family's lintel..."

"Nonsense!" Old man Ximen slapped the table, blew his beard and stared at him and said furiously, "My family's lintel is very good, so I need the help of Wu's surname? What's his ability? I just have a few bad money!"

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

"King Duan? The younger brother of the official family?"

"Sir Cai? Is Cai Jing, Deputy Privy Councilor?"

Another old man immediately spoke in the Ximen Family Ancestral Hall, and naturally he was also an old senior of the Ximen Family. When he heard that Wu Haogu had such a background, he became interested - the descendants of a group of traitors and rebels, what kind of airs are they like?

"Yes," Ximen Qing nodded, "and Wu Dalang's family is a wealthy man in Kaifeng, with a property worth millions. This time, he gave Ma Shiwang 15,000 yuan to buy him the military governor."

"Millions!"

"Qing'er," one of the cousins ​​of Ximen He asked at this time, "What good will Wu Dalang give you?"

"Fourth brother, what are you saying?" Ximen He shouted angrily, "What a noble person do you think Qing'er is?"

"Brother," another old man interrupted, "Don't be angry, you are so old that you are so angry that your body is not worth it..."

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

"What should I do?" Ximen He snorted coldly, "Evicted from the house!"

Exited from the house?

Then go and be a concubine for Wu Haogu?

What is Ximen He’s idea?

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

"This is not OK, Qing'er is not an ordinary person."

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

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

"What should I do?"

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