After negotiating the terms, Kou Ji, Xiang Minzhong and Xiang Chuanzheng were happily talking together while eating wine and food.
When the three chatted late into the night, Kou Ji wrote down a Xiongwen and gave it to Xiang Minzhong.
"Whether Grandpa Xiang can serve as a political affair, all in this article..."
The father and son Xiang Minzhong drank a little drunkly, and took the magnificent manuscript written by Kou Ji casually.
After only reading two paragraphs, Xiang Minzhong was half awake with alcohol, and he stared at the article in amazement.
"This... this... this..."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "How about this article?"
Xiang Minzhong clasped the article in his hand and said in shock: "This article is second only to the Golden Chamber Alliance made by Emperor Taizong and Zhao Pu."
Kou Ji pointed to the article in Xiang Minzhong's hand and laughed in a low voice: "The Alliance of the Golden Chamber is just a joke, but this article is half-true and half-false. After it is spread, the effect is probably better than that of the Alliance of the Golden Chamber. "
Xiang Minzhong nodded heavily, "If this article is published, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will withdraw from the competition for candidates to participate in political affairs. If the old man has your support, your grandfather will certainly not prevent the old man from serving as a political secretary. It’s a matter of course."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded and said: "After Grandpa Xiang takes office as a political affair, don't forget to promise the kid's terms."
Xiang Minzhong carefully put away the article in his hand, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
"It's getting late, and it's time to stop. The old lady asked you to arrange a wing room for you to live in."
Kou Ji arched his hands, "Then there will be Grandpa Lao Xiang."
Xiang Minzhong waved his hand, "You're so polite with the old man. From now on, I will treat this as my own home. I want to live for as long as I want. If you choose the courtyard of the mansion, tell the old man in advance, and the old man will let you make room Come out, you can come to live in when you are free."
Kou Ji said dumbfoundedly: "The kid stays in the guest room, so he won't be overwhelming."
Xiang Minzhong clicked his mouth and said: "The old man didn't plan to keep this mansion and heirloom. When the old man and granddaughter get married, the old man will treat this mansion as a dowry to her."
Kou Ji didn't hear these words, he arched his hands and withdrew from the hall.
The housekeeper of Xiangfu waited outside the door. After seeing Kou Ji going out, he bowed to Kou Ji and said, "Master Kou, come with the villain."
The housekeeper Xiangfu took Kou Ji to the wing of the house.
As early as Kou Ji entered the mansion, Xiang Minzhong ordered someone to prepare the guest room.
What I said in the hall just now was just a scene.
In the hall.
After Xiang Chuanzheng left Kou Ji, he approached Xiang Minzhong and said suspiciously: "Father, do you really want to give this house to Yan'er as a dowry?"
Xiang Minzhong rolled his eyes and hummed: "Then you have to see who the grandson-in-law is."
In other words, if Kou Ji married Xiang Yan, then this mansion would be Xiang Yan's dowry. If it is someone else, don't even think about it.
Xiangfu was a palace in the past, covering a huge area, and it was still in the prosperous area of Bianjing.
After many years of repairs by the Xiang family, the pavilions and pavilions have everything they need. They can be regarded as one of the best mansions in the city of Bianjing, with a value of 5 million guan.
How could Xiang Minzhong easily give out such a high-priced mansion
Kou Ji knew a little bit about Xiang Minzhong's thoughts.
Kou Ji guessed Xiang Minzhong's thoughts when he reported the scandal between Kou Ji and Xiang Yan.
It's just that Kou Ji's first impression of Xiang Yan is not very good, and Xiang Yan is still young, so he doesn't have much coveting thoughts about Xiang Yan.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Minzhong frequently handed over to him, and he did not answer Xiang Minzhong's words.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper of Xiangfu, Kou Ji arrived at the door of a Xiangfu wing.
The butler opened the door, lit a candle, and handed it to Kou Ji, then bowed and stood outside the door.
Xiangfu’s rules, if it were not summoned by the guest, the servants of Xiangfu rarely entered the guest’s room without authorization after the guest entered the wing.
Kou Ji entered the door holding the candlelight, and almost staggered to the ground before taking two steps.
"Humhhhhh..."
Kou Ji planted a few steps forward to stabilize his figure.
The butler outside the door heard the movement and asked, "Master Kou, what's the matter with you?"
The butler poked his head in from outside the room, took a look, saw Kou Ji hit the stool, and quickly reminded: "Kou, the candlelight in his hand is lowered, so he won't hit anything."
Kou Ji nodded, put the candle in his hand on the table and closed the door.
Then he walked to the stool that he had hit crooked, squatted down, looked for it carefully, and found a slender string on the leg of the stool.
Kou Ji took the string, held it in his hand, and crushed it into a ball. A petite figure appeared involuntarily in his mind.
That is the figure of Xiang Jia's little sister.
The little sister of the Xiang family looked for people to embarrass Kou Ji. Kou Ji had heard from Liu Heng, but he didn't care.
He didn't expect that the little sister Xiang Jia has not given up making trouble for him yet.
When he entered the door just now, he didn't hit the stool, but hit the strings tied to the legs of the stool, and it was this thing that almost tripped him.
This matter was definitely not done by Xiang Minzhong.
It's impossible for Xiang Minzhong to do such a naive thing, so it must be Xiangjia's younger sister.
A little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, occasionally stumbles him, and Kou Ji doesn't bother to take care of him.
Today's Kou Ji is full of national affairs, so how can I go to play with a little girl
The strings crushed into a ball were placed on the table.
Kou Ji took off his coat, got on the bed, lay down and fell asleep.
Kou Ji slept until dawn.
Early the next morning.
After Kou Ji got up, the housekeeper of Xiangfu was already waiting outside the door.
Kou Ji was waiting for the maidservant of Xiangfu to wash up, and then under the guidance of the steward of Xiangfu, he arrived at the hall of Xiangfu for breakfast.
After entering the hall, Kou Ji was slightly startled.
The hall was full of people.
Xiang Minzhong sat in the center, his wife in the house accompanied him, and his five sons and his wife were sitting at the table with him.
In addition, there are several tables. Two of the tables are for boys from Xiangfu's third-generation grandchildren, and one table is for girls from Xiangfu's grandchildren.
This is not over yet. In the corners on the left and right, there are four tables sitting in the concubine room of Xiang Minzhong and the concubine room of his five sons.
The eyes of dozens of people all fell on Kou Ji, who looked at Kou Ji a little uncomfortable.
Xiang Minzhong saw Kou Ji and smiled cheerfully: "Kou boy is here, come and sit down."
Xiang Minzhong patted an empty seat beside him.
Kou Ji looked at the people in the room and smiled dryly: "Grandpa Xiang, is this inappropriate?"
Xiang Minzhong glared, pretending to be annoyed and said: "What's wrong, the old man is the head of the family, this old man has the final say. The old man asks you to sit there, and you sit there."
Xiang Minzhong's voice fell to the ground, his eyes swept around, he snorted, and asked, "Do you have any opinions?"
Xiang Minzhong's children and grandchildren shook their heads vigorously.
Among those present, only Xiang Yan, the little sister of Xiang Jia, and a few girls who had good friends with Xiang Yan gritted their teeth.
Seeing all his children and grandchildren, Xiang Minzhong nodded and smiled in satisfaction. As for Xiang Yan and the little sister of the Xiang family, he didn't even see them. He beckoned to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji sighed inwardly and bit his head and sat next to Xiang Minzhong.
Then, under the attention of everyone in Xiangfu, Kou Ji ate breakfast hastily and escaped from Xiangfu.
Old Xiang Xiang was too kind to him, too enthusiastic, and enthusiasm made him a little unbearable.
Kou Ji fled all the way back to the mansion, and saw Kou Li carrying a baggage, quietly walking outside the door.
Kou Ji ran into Kou Li head-on, and said in amazement, "Father, what are you doing with your burden?"
Kou Li saw Kou Ji, as if he had done something wrong and was caught. While hiding the burden behind him, he smiled dryly: "No... Nothing... Your father and I have a few close friends in Taixue. When I returned to Huayin before, I left in a hurry and didn't say hello to them. Now that I am back again, I naturally have to visit them."
Kou Ji looked at Kou Li and nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that his lie had fooled Kou Ji, Kou slapped him and left the entrance of Kou's mansion with a burden on his back.
Kou Ji kept staring at Kou Li, and when Kou Li's figure disappeared in the alley of Kou Mansion, he beckoned to the door of the concierge.
The door approached Kou Ji and said in a low voice, "Young Master, what's your order?"
Kou Ji pointed to the place where Kou Li had left, and said: "Go and stare at my dad, don't disturb him, see what he is doing, and let me know when he returns home."
The door nodded, and went quietly along where Coli had left.
Kou Ji's position in Kou Mansion is second only to Kou Zhun, but it is higher than Kou Li.
Kou Ji instructed the door to stare at Kou Li, and the door had no reason not to agree.
Kou Ji stood at the door, waited for the door to go far, and ordered the guard at the door to guard the door, and then entered the mansion.
He did not go back to Sijunyuan, but returned to the yard Kou Zhong cleaned up for him yesterday.
Back in the yard, he ordered the servants in the house to prepare a table of breakfast for himself again.
He was in Xiangfu, and his scalp was numb, so he didn't eat well. He returned to the mansion and naturally had to add it.
As soon as the breakfast prepared by Kou Jirang's mansion was put on the table, he sent to monitor Kou Li's door and hurried into the yard.
"Young master, you let the villain stare at the young master, the villain followed the young master all the way to Zhouqiao Street, and saw the young master enter the Vientiane pawn shop."
The door reached Kou Ji's side and whispered.
Kou Ji was stunned when he heard the words, and laughed in a low voice, "I see, you can go down."
The door agreed and left the yard.
Kou Ji shook his head dumbfounded after he left the door.
Kou Li went out of the Kou Mansion and went to the Vientiane Pawn Shop. Kou Ji could probably guess what to do.
Coulee should have gone to pay his debts.
He didn't expect Coulee to still remember the debt he owed.
Even more unexpectedly, Kou Li actually still has some responsibility for one person to do things and one person to shoulder the responsibility.
Kou Ji simply ate a little breakfast, strolled around in the yard, ready to rest.
Not long after entering the door, Kou Zhong hurriedly said, "Little Master, Master invites you to come."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and followed Kou Zhong to Kou Zhun's study.
Kou Zhun saw Kou Ji and said straightforwardly: "Did you stay in Xiangfu last night?"
Kou Ji did not hide it and nodded.
Kou Zhun cocked his mouth slightly and laughed in a low voice: "Is the old man Xiang Minzhong unscrupulous and want you to help plan a position as the governor?"
Kou Ji sighed: "Grandfather really knows everything."
Kou Zhun laughed and scolded: "The shit is like a god. The old man pushes his butt, and the old man knows what shit he wants."
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and asked, "Does my grandfather want Xiang Minzhong to be a member of the political affairs?"
Kou Zhun shook his head and said, "That's not true...Anyone can participate in political affairs, but Liu E's people can't. The old man didn't want to control the government, but Liu E was not allowed to control the government."
After a pause, Kou Zhun sighed and said, "In fact, Lu Yijian is the best candidate to be an alternate candidate for political affairs. If he hadn't voted for Liu E, the old man would definitely recommend him one or two, but it's a pity."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Since my grandfather didn't stop Xiang Minzhong's idea of being a political affair, why don't we use this to push him to the top and let him owe us a favor.
The most important thing is that if he is pushed to the upper position of Minzhong, even if he will not be your grandfather's help in the court, he will not embarrass you. "
When Kou Zhun heard Kou Ji's words, he smiled satisfied and nodded.
After laughing, his face became ugly again, and he said with emotion: "It's a pity that Lu Yijian..."
When Kou Ji heard this, he was slightly taken aback, and said nothing.
Kou Zhun mentioned Lu Yijian twice, obviously he valued Lu Yijian.
But now Lu Yijian has voted for Liu E and has become his opponent.
Even if he is optimistic about Lu Yijian again, he will not promote Lu Yijian again.
Kou Zhun sighed for a long time, looked back at Kou Ji, and asked: "How do you plan to push Minzhong to the upper position."
Kou Ji smiled faintly, leaned on Kou Zhun's ear, and whispered.
After Kou Zhun listened to Kou Ji's words, he stared at Kou Ji for a long time, and then said in amazement, "Your trick is too insidious, right?"
Kou Ji smiled shyly and whispered: "Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself."
Kou Zhun dumbly pointed at Kou Ji, without saying more.
After a long time, Kou Zhun said: "By the way, the old man almost forgot to tell you an important thing."
Kou Ji asked, "What's the matter?"
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji earnestly and said, "The Liao Emperor has moved, but it has nothing to do with the conquest of Xixia."
Kou Ji frowned and said: "What action?"
The Liao emperor has moved, and it has nothing to do with the conquest of Xixia
If this is the case, then Kou Ji should take a good look at this world, whether he is familiar with the historical world.
Kou Zhun curled his mouth and said: "In recent days, the Liao Emperor has gathered the eight Khitan tribes and the various tribes who surrendered to the Liao Kingdom to start winter hunting. It is said that more than 500,000 people will hunt together in winter, and the scene is very spectacular."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said solemnly: "The Liao Emperor has already taken action against Xixia!"
Kou Zhun frowned and said in doubt: "You mean the half-million horses of Winter Hunter are the soldiers and horses conquering Xixia?"
