Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Shen Xi thought about it carefully, helping Jiang Liwei do things was actually helping Liu Daxia, which was still extremely beneficial to him.

Now he is just a lifter, even if he is admitted to the Jinshi in the future, he can only slowly boil his qualifications, to achieve the third or fourth grade, let alone twenty or thirty years of hard work, but if he can make contributions in advance, it is not impossible to rise rapidly in the court.

The problem is that this matter is not Liu Daxia's favor, and he may be able to get a little credit if it is successful, and how much credit this credit is, it depends on what Jiang Liwei says, if Jiang Liwei does not give him credit in front of Liu Daxia, it will be in vain. I want to come back, where is this to do things for the imperial court, it is simply used by Jiang Liwei.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, it was supposed to be an appointment between Shen Xi and Su Tong to go to Zhuzhi Mountain, but the two did not go. In the afternoon, Shen Xi went to Dongsheng Inn to find Yunliu to ask about the situation, and Su Tong happened to go too. When Su Tong saw Shen Xi, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Brother Shen, it's a pity that I didn't go to the banquet today." ”

Shen Xi put Yu Niang's letter into his arms and asked casually, "What's the pity?" ”

Su Tong sighed: "Or maybe it's really our heart that we are too villainous, this famous man in Wuzhong not only invited us, but also invited two other people, who seems to have the intention of further friendship with us." ”

Inviting people to a banquet doesn't mean that you want to make friends, or Zhu Zhishan is invited to make a strong reputation?

Su Tong leaned over, "These two people are very famous in the Wuzhong generation, one is Xu Jing, and the other is ...... It is Xie Yuan, Tang Yin, who should be tested in Tianfu Township this year. ”

Only then did Shen Xi react.

Xu Jing and Tang Yin arrived in Beijing so quickly, and according to the original history, they should have arrived in the capital in February of the following year.

Because Xu Jing and Tang Yin are too conspicuous.

Tang Yin was born in a broken household, but there are still three catties of nails in the broken ship. Xu Jing, not to mention, has been in business for generations, and has become rich. This broad young man is not comparable to the children of a rich family in Tingzhou Mansion like Su Tong, and his family has a big business. Jiangyin's home "10,000 volumes" contains a large number of out-of-print books that survived the chaos of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The history books say. Before the test, Tang Yin rode a horse in the downtown area of Beijing, followed by a few Xu family actors with makeup, swaggering through the market, such a low-key and introverted person, can he not be targeted by someone who cares?

Shen Xi said: "Zhu Zhishan and Tang Yin are old friends, nothing unusual?" ”

Su Tong asked in surprise, "How did Brother Shen know?" ”

"I've heard ......"

Shen Xi replied very perfunctorily.

In recent years, the news transmission has not been effective, and many so-called news have a serious lag, but Shen Xi is quite clear about the inside story. Tang Bohu studied hard to take the imperial examination, or Zhu Zhishan persuaded him, and Zhu Zhishan was also a teacher and friend to Tang Bohu. This time, the two of them came to the capital to take the exam together, and it was impossible to say that they didn't visit each other.

Tang Bohu and Xu Jing intersected, to put it bluntly, Tang Bohu used his fame to eat and drink to Xu Jing, who was not bad for money, although Tang Bohu had a little family background, but compared with Xu Jing, who had 10,000 acres of fertile land at home, he belonged to a small family.

Su Tong was yearning with joy: "This Tang Yin and Xu Jing." It's a celebrity of the Jiangnan generation, so it would be nice if you could visit it. Brother Shen, when will we make an appointment to meet together? ”

Shen Xi hurriedly shook his head: "Brother Su, who are you seeing." I won't stop you, but you can't see these two people. "But Shen Xi can't explain what happened, it's the same reason that Shen Xi didn't visit Cheng Minzheng, and it's best not to see anyone who has anything to do with the next year's meeting, so that he can act as a bystander.

But Shen Xi also thought of another possibility. If Xu Jing and Tang Bohu were more low-key after they arrived in the capital, and then made a clear relationship with Cheng Minzheng, would the next year's problem case be avoided?

It's also hard to ......

Not to mention that he doesn't know Tang Yin and Xu Jing, even if he is a close friend, it is useless to persuade them.

People enter the capital in order to accumulate fame, deliberately publicize, so that the world knows the names of Tang Bohu and Xu Jing, you have to let people keep a low profile, which onion are you?

And Shen Xi wasn't ready to touch his head, but he also wanted to meet Tang Bohu, a famous genius in the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties.

Tang Bohu is a well-known figure in later generations, and he is more famous than famous Confucians like Wang Shouren and Li Dongyang, and he is not known how many times.

Shen Xi took Yu Niang's letter, returned to his home, opened it and took a look, the content was very simple, and asked him to meet on the third day of the first month.

Shen Xi estimated that with Jiang Liwei's character, he didn't want to leak the news in advance, so since he made an appointment on the third day of the first month, the time for action should also be this day.

There was a certain danger in this operation, and he had to inform Tang Hu and the others of some risk-averse matters, so that they could be prepared in advance. It is said that this time is no more dangerous than designing to kill Song Xi'er in Fuzhou City, but because he was responsible for the formulation of the plan to the specific implementation of the plan that time, all the dangers can be predicted. Relatively speaking, this time it will be more confusing, depending on Jiang Liwei's plan, how safe it can be.

Soon it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

During the Spring Festival, people were in other places, and only he and Lin Dai, Ning Er and Zhu Shan gathered together. Even a nervous person like Zhu Shan will miss her relatives and keep talking about her father and brother when she encounters the New Year's Festival, but when she sees something delicious, she immediately forgets about it.

"Young Master, what is this, can you eat it?"

Zhu Shan picked up the dumplings in the bowl, she had never eaten this thing before, she felt amazing, she held it with chopsticks, and carefully studied it for a long time.

Lin Dai smiled: "I can eat it, but it's delicious." ”

In the new home in the capital, Lin Dai is the happiest.

She was originally lonely and unrelated, the person she cared about the most was Shen Xi, and now she is "living and living together" with Shen Xi, she is the hostess of this small family, which is much better than being managed by the Zhou family, and there is no "little villain" like Lu Xi'er to rob him.

Although Shen Xi will enter school after the year, Shen Xi also made a promise to marry her after the examination.

When making dumplings in the afternoon, Lin Dai helped even if she couldn't, but in the end, she could only watch Shen Xi and Ning Er make them together. But when she went to the back to make a fire and boil water, she did it herself.

According to the reason, "a gentleman is far away from cooking", and Shen Xi should not pay attention to the kitchen. But Shen Xi's cooking skills, not to mention Lin Dai, even Ning Er has to stand aside, and dumplings are food in the north. Southerners rarely do it, Ning'er only knows some fur, and he has to do it himself.

Zhu Shan ate dumplings, and he was a little taboo at first, afraid that there would be some ghosts, snakes, and gods in them. But after eating and tasting the delicious dumplings, she couldn't care about the chopsticks anymore, and grabbed them directly with her hands.

Lin Dai slapped Zhu Shan's hand with chopsticks a little unwillingly, and said with a straight face: "Don't use your hands." ”

Zhu Shan is honest, but his temper is not small, Shen Xi remembers the first time she saw her, just because of a few words from her brother, she directly held her brother in the sky.

But this time, she smiled and put her hand down, and used chopsticks to clip it instead.

This shows that she also knows how to distinguish between good and bad. looks tall and strong, but after all, she is one year younger than Lin Dai, plus Lin Dai is a "young lady" for her to eat and wear, or a "young grandmother" in the future, then Lin Dai's words are like a holy decree, so she can't disobey them.

What's more, what Lin Dai reminded her was the basic eating rules, and she always reminded herself to change, but when she saw the food, she was a little forgetful.

"Eat slowly. There are a lot of them today, and if they are really not enough, you can only put tomorrow morning's dumplings to cook today, or or. Padding your stomach with some dry food. Shen Xi said.

Zhu Shan smiled and said, "It's enough to eat." ”

Ning Er and Lin Dai both looked at her with strange eyes, as if to say, you can eat more than the three of us alone, and almost half of the dumplings will let you eat your stomach, of course it is enough, but we are not as fast as you. That's all you can eat.

It's just that it's rare for the family to get together for dinner, so there are not so many prejudices and resentments, because Lin Dai and Ning Er know that Zhu Shan's large amount of food is not intentional, Zhu Shan is not fat, but he is strong, and the heavy work of moving and carrying at home is really not good without her.

After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Because there are no people, this New Year is less festive.

Lin Dai was a little reluctant, and looked at Shen Xi pitifully: "In the middle of the night, do we go out to watch others set off firecrackers?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "It's better to go to bed early and get up early tomorrow." ”

Lin Dai nodded and agreed, but at night, the door was still opened by her, and she was only wearing a small flower belly pocket and dirty pants while holding the pillow, and she didn't even wear shoes and socks, and hugged Shen Xi from behind when she got on the bed. In a short time, she fell into a deep sleep. It seems that she can't sleep alone, and only when she is with Shen Xi will she feel at ease.

On the first and second days of the first lunar month, when he went out to pay New Year's greetings, Shen Xi stayed at home to study with peace of mind.

Preparing for the exam, there are many books to read, and if he doesn't have them here, he will go to Sutong to borrow them.

Su Tong has visited all the bookstores in the capital in the past few days, and he has also spent money to buy the books that Shen Xi didn't buy, as if he was waiting for Shen Xi to borrow them.

“…… I heard that Tang Yin and Xu Jing are going to visit Cheng Lao Lang, and the time is tomorrow. ”

On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, Su Tong told Shen Xi something, and he was a little angry, "And I have to wait for two more days, it's really annoying." ”

Su Tong went to Cheng Minzheng's house to vote for a post, and the schedule was on the eighth day of the first month to meet, but Tang Yin and Xu Jing came and voted for the post, and they could basically meet in two or three days, and the later schedule was naturally postponed.

This is the disparity in treatment.

Shen Xi said: "Old Squire Cheng and Tang and Xu are fellow villagers, so you and I still don't want to compare." It's best, you still don't go to see it, if I don't expect it badly, this session will be the main exam, and there is a ** Cheng Shilang, who goes to visit, there will be a suspicion of the question. ”

Su Tong wondered in his heart: "This is strange, Brother Shen can see Xie Lao's sacrificial wine, why can't he see Cheng Shilang?" To say that this incumbent court official has a much higher status than an old priest. ”

Shen Xi didn't tell Su Tongduo that he still had to go to the Dongsheng Inn to see Yunliu, because he was going to meet with Yu Niang that afternoon, and the implementation of the plan was likely to be in the evening.

By the time Shen Xi arrived at the Dongsheng Inn, Yu Niang and Yun Liu had been waiting for a long time. Yu Niang learned the details from Jiang Liwei, and couldn't wait to come over to discuss with Shen Xi.
