My parents are omnipotent

Chapter 441
On May [-]th, the weather is fine and the warm wind is blowing. It is a good day for getting married.

On this day, Ye Anlan, who was already an "old girl who can't get married" in the eyes of the world, ushered in her grand wedding with Li Jing.

In her British residence, Ye Jinkui, Li Shi and their other children were busy arranging trivial matters and entertaining guests.

In Li Jing's Anguo Gong's mansion, Li Jing's grandmother, mother, and clan members were also busy with their feet on the ground.

The two competed for the position and weight of each other, and Xie Yuan respected and trusted each other. When Li Jing got married and Ye Anlan got married, Xie Yuan gave Li Jing a congratulatory gift and also gave Ye Anlan some makeup.

Because of Xie Yuan, those who were officials in the same court as them, even if they didn't like Li Jing's ruining his family and marrying a daughter-in-law in private, or Ye Anlan's appointment as the Duke of the state as a woman, but they couldn't do it publicly. Show your own blatant disdain.

Like the queen and those concubines who followed Xie Yuan's eyes, they also gave Ye Anlan and Li Jing some makeup and congratulatory gifts after Xie Yuan.

The two made a lot of money because of this, but the number of guests that the two of them needed to entertain reached a rather terrifying number.

There are not enough cooks and servants in the mansion, so the two families can only borrow temporarily from the family they have made friends with.

Ye Anlan borrowed the cooks and servants from the residences of Ye Jinkui, Yang Xiaotao, Wen Liuniang, and Zheng Fengshou, while Li Jing borrowed the cooks and servants from the Li clan, Chang'an, and Hualiang residences.

Unlike the vast majority of aristocratic families who are in a hurry to get involved in the court and wish to make all the children in the family into officials in a second, the Li family that cultivated Li Jing actually arranged only a few people after the founding of the Great Qi. People become official.

Moreover, those Li's children who were appointed by the elders of the Li family to participate in the selection by the imperial court, without exception, all of them only took the fourth rank and those inconspicuous official positions below the fourth rank.

Three of them entered the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, and Dali Temple as unremarkable officials. The other two, one went to the southwest to become a state magistrate, and the other worked as a colleague in Yancheng, which was near their hometown. Know.

In terms of the number of members of the Li family, the number of people who have become officials is ridiculously small. In addition, the five of them are just inconspicuous foreign officials and small officials. Compared with other families, the Li family is in the officialdom of Daqi. influence is almost negligible.

But this doesn't mean that Li Shi is easy to bully, and it's already sunset.

On the contrary, it is precisely because the Li family has always been able to see the situation clearly that they only let five clansmen become officials, and only let them be foreign officials and small officials.

The patriarchs and elders of the Li family are not like some shallow-sighted family leaders who can't tolerate the fact that the offshoots pay more than the direct ones, and they can't bear that the family they belong to is weaker than other families.

They are well aware of Xie Yuan's fear of the aristocratic family, and they know that Xie Yuan wants to get rid of the division and restraint of the imperial power by the aristocratic family. At the same time, they also know that Li Jing is the Li family who will be able to gain Xie Yuan's trust the most in the next few decades. The one you lean on.

As for the rest of the Li family, it is absolutely impossible for them to surpass Li Jing in Xie Yuan's place.

If the members of the Li clan were vying to become officials, then the result waiting for them would only be that they and Li Jing would be feared by Xie Yuan.

Once Xie Yuan grew jealous of them and Li Jing, their Li family could only drag Li Jing along and not be reused, or passively part ways with Li Jing, and each formed a branch from then on.

Neither of these two situations is what the current Li clan chiefs and clan elders want to see. Rather than that, they prefer to let Li Jing become the leader of the Li clan in the next few decades.

They believe that as long as Li Jing shines in the court, their Li family will never really decline or decline.

Facts have proved that their ideas are indeed very correct, not to mention Li Jing, at least Xie Yuan is very satisfied with their understanding.

In order to prevent the Li clan from holding back Li Jing, before the Li family made their own decision, Xie Yuan actually thought about letting Li Jing separate from the Li clan.

After the sect was divided, Li Jing would not be affected by what the Li family did, and he could confidently and boldly entrust Li Jing with important responsibilities.

However, before he reminded Li Jing, the current ruler of the Li family had spontaneously started to restrain the children of the clan. When Xie Yuan got the news, he simply stopped being this villain.

Because of this, the Li family was able to continue to gain a foothold as Li Jing's relatives. Even because Li Jing was grateful for the retreat they made for him, he usually took care of them a lot. It used to be superior and detached.

This time when Li Jing got married, Li Jing's grandmother also specially wrote a letter back in advance, one is to solemnly invite the clansmen to Beijing to attend Li Jing's wedding, and the other is to borrow cooks and servants from the direct branch clansmen.

It's not that Li Jing can't borrow enough and suitable cooks and servants in the capital. Li Jing's grandmother's move is actually expressing her family's intention not to treat Li's descendants as outsiders.

She used such a small matter to convey to Li's direct branch that she recognized that she and Li's direct branch belonged to one family.As a family, it is natural to help each other when something happens.This time it was the other party who helped them, and next time the other party had something to do, they would naturally help them back in turn.

Li's descendants obviously knew this routine very well. Not only did they not find it troublesome for Li Jing's grandmother's request, but they were all bloody, trying desperately to bring their servants along.

That was the Duke's Mansion in the capital, and all the dignitaries including the royal family were entertained. If the servants of their family could be useful in such an occasion, their masters would also be honored.

In the end, because each family was fighting, the current patriarch of the Li clan and his wife could only select a group of relatively top-notch servants for each family.

As for the cook, the current patriarch of the Li clan did not select according to the "equal distribution" method.

He named and selected the best cooks in his own family, as well as some excellent cooks from the Li family's old home, and transferred them to the team in Shangjing.

Other craftsmen who were not humane enough to join in, the patriarch of the Li clan sternly and selflessly blocked them back.

Just kidding, the maid who serves tea and pours water, guides the way and passes the dishes, and the servant leader can arrange them in less important positions if their level is a little lower. A creature like a cook must be seen by his subordinates. In the past with mediocre craftsmanship, isn't it Li Jing and their Li family who are ashamed?
The patriarch, who wants to give Li Jing strong face and maintain the image of the Li clan, said that the one who is qualified to show off in the capital must be the most outstanding cook in the clan!
