Three days passed by in a flash. During this period, Shi Zhongkui was called to Longshou Palace by the Supreme Emperor as expected, and the emperor, King Zhongshun, was also waiting here early.

After the greetings, the first thing to talk about is naturally related to things like spiritual cultivation, gods and Buddhas.

Then the emperor and the emperor probably had some concerns, and quickly changed the topic to people's livelihood, court affairs and trivial matters among nobles.

Shi Zhongkui didn't understand it at first, but when he heard that the Supreme Emperor remembered the past with the nobles of various families, they worked together to resist the forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty moving south.

Jia Daishan was mentioned several times, and then I understood.

Secretly, the Supreme Emperor is still more powerful.

Since the imperial court had no means to restrict itself on the issue of cultivating Taoism, even orthodox sects such as Xuanqing Dao wanted to marry themselves.

If it were him, he would also talk about friendship and family ties.

At the same time, I have always shown that I care very much about serving as an official in the court and doing practical things for the people.

Then talking about people's livelihood and how to resist the Northern Yuan invaders is the most beneficial topic for the Zhou royal family.

Shi Zhongkui's words, "If you don't cultivate this life, how can you cultivate the next life?" The emperor and the Supreme Emperor also felt relieved.

Faced with extraordinary power, what the emperor and the emperor feared most was that Shi Zhongkui had different intentions.

Now that he said he wanted to 'cultivate students', he naturally did not dare to cause chaos in the world and devastate all life because of himself.

Otherwise, let alone becoming an immortal, even the Lord of Hell would not let him go.

Combined with the statements of several heavenly masters, the world is peaceful and the country is prosperous and the people are safe, which is more beneficial to Shi Zhongkui's cultivation.

Since everyone had the same goal, the emperor and the emperor became more friendly towards Shi Zhongkui.

Moreover, the emperor and the emperor did not agree with King Zhongshun and used the means of promotion and promotion to win over Shi Zhongkui.

The father and son knew very well that if they broke the rules, they would not only disrupt the rules for promotion in the court, but also leave an impression of timidity and ignorance in Shi Zhongkui's heart.

But it definitely won’t work if you don’t reward anything.

Moreover, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were not completely of the same mind.

The more Shi Zhongkui moved closer to the emperor, the more the Supreme Emperor wanted to win him over.

After much thought, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help but think of conferring the title of title to Shi Zhongkui.

It is very difficult to turn a military general into a civil servant, but it couldn't be easier for Hanlin to take charge of military affairs. There are not too many examples in history of being awarded a title due to merit.

Of course, letting Shi Zhongkui take over military power is not without its hidden dangers.

But the Supreme Emperor is old after all, and even had the experience of almost returning to the West ten years ago. His mentality is different from that of the emperor who was still in his prime.

It is inevitable to think about what will happen if you become successful.

-------

After leaving the Longshou Palace, Shi Zhongkui and Dai Quan went to the Taoist temple of Xuanqing Taoism in the capital with a smile. They picked up the second sister You, the third sister You and the old lady You, and arranged them in a three-in courtyard on the edge of the imperial city.

The place is not big, but it is definitely rare.

Otherwise, even Dai Quan wouldn't be able to buy this kind of compound in one day if he wanted to buy it next to the imperial city.

Moreover, the furniture in the house is all made of yellow and purple chicken wing wood. Except for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even the prince's family cannot have a complete set of spare furniture that can fill more than a dozen rooms.

Since red sandalwood and huanghuali are not taboo furniture, Shi Zhongkui naturally wouldn't want it.

Instead, he murmured to Dai Quan and asked him to help find some huanghuali and build a complete set of furniture for his new garden.

Shi Zhongkui is already a fourth-grade Zhongshun doctor. In addition to the small-leaf red sandalwood exclusively used by the royal family, Huanghuali can naturally be used.

Dai Quan not only agreed immediately, but also whispered that he could help him get a batch of the best ones from the inventory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it would be free of charge.

Naturally, Shi Zhongkui would not let others get him caught just for ten or twenty thousand taels of silver.

Not only was the money given generously, but Dai Quan was also given a benefit of five hundred taels of silver as before.

When Dai Quan saw this, his eyes lit up.

Secretly, Liu Yuan Gong knew how to be a good person and accepted it without any hesitation.

And Shi Zhongkui also secretly thought that this old eunuch was indeed an old fox who could suppress Xia Shouzhong.

So many things have happened in the past few days, normal people will definitely not accept it, nor dare to accept it.

Moreover, an old and decrepit person like Dai Quan needs to please himself even more.

But he saw clearly that money or not was not the important issue.

The point is that friendship is not equal to money exchange.

Only when everyone is mutually beneficial can the relationship be long-lasting and the most stable relationship.

In the future, when he really dies, his friendship over the years will be enough to ask him to say a few kind words to Judge Cui.

And as long as he opens his mouth, Dai Quan can be reincarnated without suffering.

After sending Dai Quan away, Shi Zhongkui was pulled by Third Sister You and took Second Sister You around the entire house. After choosing his bedroom, he returned to the main hall of the middle courtyard.

Mrs. You, who had recovered from the previous witchcraft disaster, was a little cautious, but she still suppressed her fear and asked her two daughters to serve her uncle-to-be.

He took the maids Dai Quan selected from the palace and went to hold a banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, when Shi Zhongkui saw that Shi Zhongkui was talking easily, Mrs. You suddenly had more things on her mind.

Fortunately, she would not and could not have bad intentions towards Shi Zhongkui, who she would rely on for the rest of her life.

So when Mr. You repeatedly winked at his two daughters, Shi Zhongkui pretended not to notice.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui knew very well that Mrs. You only wanted to have enough food and clothing and live a decent life.

So although I don't have any elder-like feelings for You Lao Niang, who allowed her to give birth to two beautiful daughters, and the two sisters were willing to be his concubines.

After lunch, when the family came to the side hall to drink tea, three wooden boxes appeared on the table.

"Mom, this is my first time as a son-in-law. I am not prepared and I don't know what gift to give.

Moreover, with more than a dozen servants in this house, the daily expenses are quite large.

After much thought, I decided to give you a box of gold and silver melon seeds and two sets of gold jewelry."

Madam You looked overjoyed and reached out to open the box, but she was worried that she would leave a bad impression on Shi Zhongkui if she was too eager.

Shi Zhongkui smiled and nodded to Third Sister You.

The third sister immediately stood up and took the second sister You to open the three wooden boxes.

There was not enough light for a while, so the side hall where many candles were lit during the day was filled with golden light.

One hundred gold melon seeds and one hundred silver melon seeds equal 1,100 taels of silver.

The You family, mother and daughter, have never seen so much money since the death of their second official husband and stepfather.

And those two sets of gold jewelry are actually not expensive. The complete set of headgear, necklace, earrings, bracelets and rings is only worth four hundred taels.

But for Mrs. You, who has been struggling for six or seven years, it is a huge surprise.

When Shi Zhongkui said that from now on, he would send 600 taels of filial silver before every New Year's Day, Mrs. You almost fainted with joy.

The Ningguo Mansion only spends 10,000 taels of silver a year. With these 600 taels, it is enough for Mrs. You to live a life comparable to that of Ning Rong.

After being supported by the second sister and the third sister, Mrs. You quickly said that she drank too much at noon and needed to rest.

Shi Zhongkui knew at a glance that Mrs. You was providing him with the opportunity to be alone with his second and third sisters.

It would be best if I could have two daughters today.

In ancient times, this idea was simply ridiculous, no different from selling your daughter.

Not long after, Second Sister You and Third Sister You walked in with blushing faces.

Although they were willing in their hearts, the two sisters still did not dare to sit directly next to Shi Zhongkui.

Shi Zhongkui is naturally not Liu Xiahui.

After patting themselves, the two sisters walked over with hesitant steps and sat on the soft side.

Shi Zhongkui ate them in no hurry, but there was no problem eating Rouge.

After a while, Second Sister You blushed with embarrassment, pushed Shi Zhongkui away, folded her arms around her chest and ran out.

Unexpectedly, Sanjie You sat directly on his lap.

Probably because her biological father died early when she was young, and her stepfather died of illness within a few years. Third Sister You looks bold and generous on the outside, but she is a little wild in her heart.

Moreover, Sanjie You also knew that her future reliance rested entirely on Shi Zhongkui.

Since he, the master, took the initiative to flirt with his sisters, and since Third Sister You fell in love with him because of a series of things, he naturally did not want to run away like Second Sister You.

Shi Zhongkui also knew that although Sanjie You was a person who was willing to die for love, she was not a chaste and virtuous woman.

This kind of character seems contradictory, but it makes sense to think of her as a lover and willing to give everything.

After rubbing elbows with Third Sister You for a while, Shi Zhongkui hugged Third Sister You, who was already in a daze.

He thought that although he could do whatever he wanted, if he carried Sanjie You in a sedan and there were no red plums, who knows what Baochai and Yingchun would think of Sanjie You.

It would even affect Second Sister You, who couldn't help but take a deep breath.
