Chapter 491: The Old Mansion Welcomes Guests

In Yun Bo's opinion, his own lady is a beautiful girl, how should she marry a personable son, and a few days ago he came back to ask the neighbors, and did learn from the neighbors that Xie Yuner married into the official eunuch family in Tingzhou, and said that she would accompany her husband to Beijing to take the exam.

Because Xie Yun'er herself couldn't speak clearly that day, the neighbors' rhetoric naturally carried a lot of understanding and reasonableness, which was very different from the real situation today.

Xie Yun'er said with a straight face: "Yun Bo, he ...... It is indeed the husband of the concubine. ”

Yun Bo's heart was full of puzzlement, but he still respectfully saluted Shen Xi: "Old man greets my uncle." ”

Shen Xi said: "Yun Bo is polite, I just accompanied the lady back to see the yard this time, I am new to the house, this yard is not very familiar, how to clean up and arrange, all listen to the lady." ”

Xie Yun'er smiled: "Xianggong is the master of this mansion, so it's better to listen to Xianggong's arrangement." ”

In front of the former slaves, the husband and wife were polite first.

Xie Yun'er and Shen Xi, under the leadership of Yun Bo, went around the courtyard inside and out.

In the courtyard of Sanjin, except for some dilapidated furniture in the utility room, everything else has been moved away by the original owner...... Xie Yun'er is obsessed with many old furniture that has not been seen, because it is something left over from the Xie family, but now it is gone.

Yun Bo sighed: "In the past few years, no one has lived in this courtyard, although I heard that the family who bought the house arranges repairs every year, but some rooms still leak rain...... In the future, it would be good for the young lady and her aunt to move back to live, this courtyard will be popular, and the Xie family will be as prosperous as before in the future. Miss, princess and eldest lord, eldest lady, they ...... Luckily? ”

Xie Yun'er nodded: "Grandfather and father have been imprisoned for several years, and now my grandfather is sick in **, and he is taken care of by his family, and everything else is fine." ”

Yun Bo was a little expectant: "When will those masters move back to the capital?" ”

Xie Yun'er shook her head, then naturally glanced at Shen Xi, and then replied: "The Xie family has settled in Tingzhou, and they will not return to Beijing in a short time. ”

Yun Bo was confused when he heard it, he thought that the Xie family bought back the house to move the family back to the capital and make a comeback, but unexpectedly, not only did those old masters not come back, but even the young lady and the new aunt did not plan to come to live.

Yun Bo thought to himself: "This new aunt doesn't look very old, what 'business' will he be so busy that he has no time to accompany Miss?" ”

Xie Yun'er just came back, and the neighbors heard about it and came over to congratulate her.

To say that the Xie family used to have a good relationship with the neighbors, and the last time Xie Yun'er came, they gave some small gifts, which naturally won everyone's respect, and they heard that the Xie family bought the house again, and they were all happy for Xie Yun'er.

“…… Just said that the daughter of the Xie family has the ability, and when I first saw it, I estimated that I was back to buy a house, but I didn't expect it to be a long time, and the house was surnamed Xie again. ”

Those aunts and aunts began to realize it again, and the neighbors' children began to run around in the yard, and even began to play peek-a-boo, simply using the Xie family's old house as a playground.

Xie Yun'er was a little apologetic: "We just moved back, we don't have any preparations, please trouble Yunbo to go to the street to buy some melons and fruits and snacks and come back to greet the neighbors." ”

Then he took some copper plates and scattered pieces of silver and gave them to Yun Bo.

Yun Bo was very happy, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, good." ”

Yun Bo took Zhu Shan to go shopping together, Xie Yun'er entertained the neighbors, and when Yun Bo came back, the matter of receiving guests was handed over to Yun Bo, and Xie Yun'er entered the middle courtyard and looked at Shen Xi, who was standing in front of the main hall, looking up.

"Didn't the prime minister want to hang the imperial plaque here?" Xie Yun'er asked with a smile.

Shen Xi shook his head: "The word is given to your Xie family, I don't care where it hangs, it's just that I don't know anyone outside, so I won't come out to join in the fun." ”

Xie Yun'er looked slightly guilty.

As a last resort just now, she introduced Shen Xi to the neighborhood as her father-in-law, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. Come to think of it, the eldest lady married the little minister, most likely because the Xie family coveted the money of the little minister's family...... Of course, it is also possible that the little minister is greedy for the beauty of the big lady and has to marry the big lady!

In short, there are a lot of ugly words, these aunts and aunts are guests at other people's homes, but they don't know what taboo is.

People are terrifying, Shen Xi would rather be alone and quiet in the middle courtyard, after all, he accompanied Xie Yun'er back to the old mansion to have a good time, and he would not go to dismiss Xie Yun'er's interest.

"It's all the concubine's fault." Xie Yun'er was a little aggrieved.

Shen Xi smiled and comforted: "What's wrong with the lady? It's just that those people outside are too superficial! ”

was talking, and suddenly there was a commotion at the door, and I heard someone ask, "Is this Xie Mansion?" ”

Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er came out of the door of the inner house, and saw someone coming at the gate to give gifts, and more than a dozen domestic servants came at a time, carrying large boxes and small boxes of things.

The person who came looked quite polite, but there was obviously a bit of rudeness and arrogance of the eunuchs, and the people in the courtyard suddenly quieted down, and no one dared to take a step forward.

Shen Xi stepped forward, arched his hand, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Shen Xiu is a noble man who forgets a lot of things, and the villain is the steward of the Shouning Marquis Mansion...... Shou Ninghou heard that Shen Xiu had moved another mansion, so he specially asked me to come and send a few housewarming gifts...... Come on, bring in the gifts! ”

The people from the Shouning Hou Mansion came in with things, and the big boxes and small boxes placed in the small half of the courtyard, and the man said, "Shen Xiushu don't worry, Shou Ninghou said that no matter what happens in the court, it will not affect Shen Xiu's career, Shen Xiushu just needs to wait at home for a few days, and he will be fine." As for this gift, it is to thank Shen Xiu and Xie Fu for their treatment of the nobles, and Shen Xiu should not refuse. ”

To say that Zhang Heling has always been ruthless in looting others, but he gave gifts to Shen Xi one after another, Shen Xi had an awkward feeling in his heart, which was obviously to develop him into a party of relatives.

As the visitor finished speaking, the courtyard became noisy again.

The neighbors didn't know what the concept of "Shen Xiu" was, but most of them knew about the "Shouning Marquis Mansion", which was after all the residence of the emperor's relatives and was famous in the entire Jingshi.

And this new aunt of the Xie family was able to get the "thank you gift" from the Hou Mansion of Shouning, and also get the respect of the people in the Hou Mansion, which is not a small matter.

Shen Xi nodded and said, "I'm tired of going back to Shou Ninghou, thank him for his kindness, and thank him another day." ”

"Okay. Shen Xiu, let's go back first...... Put down your stuff and go! ”

As soon as they said hello, the people of Shouning Houfu did not have the arrogance of the past, and they came over respectfully and left after saluting, without the slightest intention of looking for trouble.

As soon as the people left, the yard completely exploded.

Yun Bo walked over with a blank face and asked, "Uncle, Miss, what is this...... What's going on? ”

Previously, he also ranked "Miss" before "Uncle", but after working in Xie Mansion for decades, he has long known how to observe words and feelings, and now he knows that this aunt is by no means as simple as a young man.

At this moment, there were footsteps outside, and there were still people who came to give gifts, and several people came to the door together, but it was the gentry who lived in the same Jiaozhongfang who came to the door to send the "housewarming gift".

Only then did Shen Xi realize that when he accompanied Xie Yun'er to Daxing County to register the real estate deed, he leaked the news from the official mansion, and the surrounding gentry heard that the new champion was going to move to the original Xie Mansion to live, so they were busy coming over to give gifts and make friends, which is also the basic etiquette of officialdom.

Although the people who came this time were the homes of the eunuchs, they did not have as much origin as the Shouning Hou Mansion, and the gifts they gave were not as heavy as the Shouning Hou Mansion, but they added up to all the things that could not even be placed in the front yard.

Seeing that the situation was not right, some of them couldn't care about the fruit and pastries and left early, while others didn't leave, wanting to see what bigger people were coming.

Shen Xi didn't want to publicize it, because the Xie family's mansion was not bought by him with his own money, if the imperial historian noticed this, calculated his income and expenses carefully, and then participated in his book, he would be in trouble at that time.

However, when guests came, he had to come forward to entertain them, but fortunately, the Beijing officials and gentry who lived near Zuo knew each other very well, and they just came to give gifts, and after a courtesy visit, they took their leave and left.

Waiting for the guests to send away one after another, Yun Bo then remembered that things were not quite right, even if the Xie family was in the scenery in the past, they would not be as grand as they are today.

Yun Bo hurriedly asked, "Miss, why do those people want to give gifts to my uncle?" ”

Xie Yun'er said with a straight face: "Uncle Yun, it seems that I want to make it clear to you, in fact...... The old man is the champion of the new department, and now he is in the Hanlin Academy for the six products, and he is a close minister of the emperor's side. In the future, this mansion will no longer be the Xie family, but the Shen family. You have to remember. ”

Yun Bo was so frightened that he had no master of the six gods, and hurriedly kowtowed to Shen Xi: "The old slave asks for peace to the master." ”

Shen Xi said: "Your family is not polite, this is the Xie family, and it will be the Xie family in the future, if Yun Bo wants to come back to do things in the future, everything will be according to the old practice, if it is not enough, add some in the future." ”

Xie Yun'er pulled Shen Xi's sleeve, as if she wanted to remind her, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Shen Xi picked up Yun Bo and asked him to go out to entertain the guests, and by the way, he found someone to help carry the gifts into the middle courtyard and send them to the wings on the east and west sides.

For these gifts, Shen Xi is not interested in knowing, because after receiving gifts, he needs to return favors, and people will never come for no reason, and they will definitely have to ask for something when the time comes.

However, Xie Yun'er is somewhat a "money fan" who is a wife, and the benefits of being white are not looked at, she asked Zhu Shan to help, opened the boxes one by one, checked the gifts in each box, roughly calculated, and came over and said: "Xianggong, the concubine is too much...... Today's gifts are quite a lot. Especially the gift sent by the Hou Mansion of Shouning, with the Xianggong's money, I'm afraid I won't be able to earn it for ten years......"

Zhang Heling knows how to win people's hearts, the gift he gave to Shen Xi last time was not light, and today he gave a gift, and the intention of winning over is even more obvious.

Shen Xi sighed: "This is exactly what I'm worried about...... Shou Ning Hou is not an easy person to get along with, he can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the court, and with His Majesty and the Empress supporting him, it is simply to the point of lawlessness...... However, it is unpopular! ”

Xie Yun'er nodded: "Didn't the people from the Shouning Marquis Mansion say it?" This is a thank you gift from Xianggong for the prince's treatment, maybe it's just that, Xianggong doesn't have to think about it. ”

Shen Xi didn't think so in his heart, because he didn't tell Xie Yun'er that Liu Daxia used him and the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce to "fish" the treasury to steal grain, and Xie Yun'er only vaguely knew a little about it.

If Zhang Heling really regards him as his own, he will try his best to win him over in the future, and with his current identity and status, he will have to pay a heavy price if he refuses.

When the powerful people of the dynasty are not used by me, they cannot be used by others, if Shen Xi does not return to the party of his relatives, Zhang Heling will not let him go.

Many of the courtiers took revenge on Zhang Heling, and finally ended up in a dismal end.

Shen Xi couldn't help but think of the official lady he saw at the Tingzhou Wharf, and the father of the official lady was said to have offended Zhang Heling and ended up with an unknown life and death.
