The Liangjing Township Examination has not yet been conclusive, but this is not enough to affect Shen Xi to attend classes with the prince.

After entering May, the weather became hot, and Shen Xi was wearing a thick official uniform during the lecture, and he was in an impermeable confined space, and he was sweating after standing for a while.

But as soon as the class ended, the spirit of the bear child came, and he always came to Shen Xi, asked questions, and even chased Wendi when he encountered a confused place, which was equivalent to letting Shen Xi "work overtime for free".

On the fourth day of the new year, Shen Xi came out of the Chufang Palace, left the palace gate, returned to Zhan Shifu and sat down at his desk in the official room, Xie Qian yawned and walked into the spacious house, because it was already after work at this time, and there was no one else in the official room except Shen Xi.

"Elder Xie Ge, is there something wrong?" When Shen Xi saw Xie Qian, he hurriedly went up to salute and greet him.

"Can't I come to see you if it's okay? What, it's your turn to speak today? Xie Qian looked at Shen Xi's almost sweat-soaked clothes and asked.

Shen Xi thought to himself, can you come to me so accurately after I delay class, don't you know when I will come to speak?

"Yes." Shen Xi nodded calmly.

Xie Qian thought thoughtfully: "The prince has made significant progress in his studies when he comes in, and His Majesty has always praised you lecturers recently, and among all of them, Your Majesty mentioned you and your husband the most." ”

"Jiefu" refers to Yang Tinghe, a native of Xindu, Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan, and a scholar in the fourteenth year of Chenghua, who is the first auxiliary scholar of the two dynasties of Zhengde and Jiajing in the future. Like Shen Xi, Yang Tinghe is also one of the speakers of the East Palace, serving as a Hanlin attendant and the Zuo Yude of the Zhan Mansion.

It's a pity that Shen Xi talks alone on weekdays, and there is not much communication with Yang Tinghe, but he only occasionally meets to salute and greet him, which is not a friendship.

Shen Xi shook his head: "The student doesn't understand what Elder Ge means. ”

"Still don't understand? It is estimated that the time for your promotion is not far off. Xie Qian said, "Seeing that the township test is coming, the imperial court has made arrangements to let you go to Nanjing and preside over the Tianfu township test, what do you think of this?" ”

Shen Xi said: "Students are entangled in mundane things, and I am afraid that they will not be able to get out. ”

Xie Qian scolded: "You kid, Your Majesty asked you to preside over the township test, or in a place of prosperity like Tianfu, you can be a teacher at this age, and there is no one in the world." This is Your Majesty's appreciation for you, and you actually put it in the way......"

These words were also said happily, as if they had been held in Xie Qian's heart for a long time, and when he said that he was much more relaxed, he asked curiously, "What are you involved in mundane things, painting, business, or hanging out every day?" ”

"Could it be that in the mind of the elder of the pavilion, the students are so unprofessional?" Shen Xi asked helplessly.

Xie Qian said: "No matter what, you should give priority to the errand of the imperial court, and letting you preside over the Tianfu Township Examination is an affirmation of your talent...... It's true that it's a little difficult for you, but now the imperial court can't send anyone else......"

That's the point!

Shen Xi secretly thought that no one else wanted to go to Yingtianfu, because it was a big dye vat, and whoever went to bad was the one who had a bad reputation.

Xie Duo once told Shen Xi that the chief examiner of the township examination in Shuntianfu is good, but the chief examiner of Yingtianfu is a big pit......

Because Ying Tianfu is located in the economically prosperous and materialistic Jiangnan, far away from the capital, the powerful are rampant, bribery abounds, and it is the outer curtain official and the inner curtain official who engage in personal fraud.

If Shen Xi goes to be the chief examiner, and the outer curtain official accepts the money, he will definitely use his crooked brain on him, the chief examiner, in the end, because the questions are made by him, the chief examiner, and who will not be chosen in the end is also determined by him, the chief examiner. If Shen Xi is not the same as the stream, they will never give up.

After receiving the money, he has to do things, and the officials outside the curtain are all officials of Nanzhili, so they will naturally put pressure on Shen Xi, how should he choose when the time comes?

Alone?

The means of corrupting officials can be said to be pervasive!

Shen Xi said: "Can you not go?" ”

In the past, Shen Xi felt that this kind of discussion might not be meaningful, but now it is different, Xie Qian seems to have become much kinder, after all, Xie Qian should be very clear about the difficulty of going to Ying Tianfu to serve as the chief examiner of the township examination.

Xie Qian sneered: "Listen to what you mean, don't want to go?" ”

"Yes."

Shen Xi sighed and said, "Don't hide it, Neiko is about to give birth in October, and the student ...... I can't pull away! ”

The imperial court is also a place of affection and reason, everything is not negotiable, just like being the chief examiner of the township examination, my wife is about to give birth to a child, in this case, you send me to a business trip so far away from Nanjing, I can't go back and forth for four or five months, so what should I do with my wife and children?

The main examination should be Tianfu Township Examination, need to leave Beijing in mid-May, arrive in Nanjing in mid-June, August exam, the end of the batch is about the end of August, and there will be activities such as the Deer Ming Banquet in the follow-up, it is estimated that it will not be until mid-September to leave for Beijing, and arrive home in mid-October.

I can't take care of my family for five months!

Xie Qian was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It's really a little difficult for you, I miss you at this age...... Oh yes, how old are you? ”

Shen Xi replied: "Sixteen years old. ”

"Oh, sixteen, it's still a dead age, tsk. At the age of sixteen, you have to go north and south, which is really hard, and besides, you are still the first son...... You gave birth at the age of sixteen, was it a little early? Xie Qian deviated from the topic as he spoke, focusing on Shen Xi's age and giving birth to a child.

Shen Xi said: "What does the elder mean......"

Xie Qian coughed, and said angrily: "I'm still very reasonable, I'll make suggestions to Your Majesty when I go back and explain your situation, but you are really not suitable to go to Ying Tianfu...... Don't go to my house next, if there is any gossip outside, I can't spare you. ”

Please let me give your son a lesson, also knowing that I may be the examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination, right? Now I suddenly draw a clear line with me, and it clearly means unloading the mill and killing the donkey! However, this time Shen Xi asked Xie Qian, did not dare to have any disrespect, and sent people away respectfully, and at this time Shen Xi felt as if something was wrong...... Xie Qian wouldn't just come to inform him to go to Ying Tianfu to serve as the chief examiner of the township exam, right?

Think about it carefully, there is nothing to do in Beiguan for the time being, the Dayan Department has begun to crusade against the rebellious tribes on the grassland, in order to protect themselves, many Tatar tribes in Monan and Mobei have to be entangled, and the Dayan Department is around, the war is estimated to be not over for a while and a half, and now the Ming border pass is as stable as Mount Tai.

In addition, last winter's heavy snowfall greatly and completely alleviated the drought in North China and the Central Plains...... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this Da Ming doesn't need him to do anything for the time being.

If you don't go to Yingtianfu again, it will be perfect.

……

……

When he got home, Shen Xi first went to Xie Yun'er's room to check the situation, and after confirming that he was safe and sound, he returned to the study to sort out the case.

Regardless of whether he serves as the chief examiner of the township examination in the future, Shen Xi is still the official of the East Palace, and he can't stop teaching the prince until he is sent out on an errand.

Shen Xi was thinking about how to push off the errand to Ying Tianfu, when Ma Jiu came to the mansion and handed him two letters that he had just brought from the Min Sheng Teahouse, all of which were sent from the Tingzhou Mansion.

Shen Xi took a brief look, one of them was a letter from home, Shen Mingjun and his wife found someone to write it, and the other letter was sent by Su Tong in the same case.

After opening the family letter, Shen Xi looked at it, and basically what was written was a mess.

The letter said that the old lady was sick, and the "hysteria" was very serious at this time, Shen Xi probably knew that it was Alzheimer's disease, and the cause was also found, it turned out that the old lady was very happy and sad, her sixth grandson Shen Yuan was admitted to the Xiucai, and this year he was going to Fuzhou with his uncle Shen Mingwen to participate in the township examination, which is equivalent to the Ninghua Shen family having a champion and two Xiucai at the same time.

Li felt that her life was perfect, as for whether Shen Mingwen and Shen Yuan were lifted, it didn't matter whether Shen Mingwen and Shen Yuan were lifted, anyway, her responsibility to the Shen family was completed, and then she cried and laughed, and soon she fell ill.

Shen Xi was thirteen years old, and Shen Yuan was fifteen years old, which made the Shen family's status in Ninghua and even Tingzhou Mansion skyrocket.

The Shen family is prosperous, but the biggest problem now is that Shen Xi is an official in the capital and has not brought any substantial help to the descendants of the Shen family.

“…… Grandmother's illness should not be easy to treat. Xie Yun'er shook her head after reading the letter.

There is also a purpose of this letter, which is to ask the "miracle doctor" Xie Yuner what prescription can treat the old lady's "hysteria", but Alzheimer's disease is still a big problem even in the era of medical excellence in later generations, and Xie Yuner has no good solution.

Shen Xi said: "Then reply truthfully, it's best to wait for your birth and send the good news back together, anyway, it's not a few days." ”

Xie Yun'er smiled shyly and said, "Xianggong can be sure that the child in the concubine's womb is ...... Son? ”

"It's okay for your children, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is your safety." Shen Xi took Xie Yun'er's hand and kept it warm for a while.

waited for Shen Xi to return to the study before opening Su Tong's letter.

In addition to saying some greetings in the letter, the most important thing for this "old friend" was to tell him that he was going to the capital in the autumn and would do his best to prepare for the next year's examination, so as to be a junior in the first place.

Su Tong naturally thought of asking Shen Xi to provide some help, mainly in terms of connections, to introduce him to more people, so that he could establish some prestige in the capital, which would be helpful to him as a Jinshi.

"Is it really a Hanlin to be beautiful?"

Shen Xi put down the letter, he didn't have to reply to this letter, because even if he replied, Su Tong left when the letter was sent to Tingzhou Mansion, and Su Tong's purpose in writing this letter was mainly to inform him.

Shen Xi doesn't care whether Su Tong is a jinshi or not, but Shen Xi still hopes that this old friend can make a difference, but unfortunately Su Tong has certain shortcomings, in addition to being lustful and snobbish, there is also too much attention to façade kung fu, Su Tong's biggest advantage is to be righteous to his friends, but this is not an advantage for officials, because he is likely to be affected by his friends because of his righteous anger.

Ma Jiu asked respectfully, "Master, is there anything you need to explain......

"I'm looking for you with something, you go back and arrange the manpower, and you can go back to Tingzhou in two days to help me do some personal things." Shen Xi commanded.

Ma Jiu was honest enough, and nodded: "If there is anything in charge, just tell me." ”
