The imperial court appointed Jiang Liwei and Yu Niang to accompany Shen Xi to the south, although it was a subordinate relationship, Shen Xi felt that these two were very unreliable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

These two are both masters who like to cause trouble, so it's good not to cause trouble for him...... Yu Niang may be respectful to him, and many things are "official", but Jiang Liwei is purely harboring evil intentions, and has secretly designed to frame him several times, if this kind of person can sincerely do things for Shen Xi, I am afraid that the sun will come out in the west!

At this time, Shen Xi already knew that in addition to sending Jiang Liwei and Yu Niang to escort him, not only did the imperial court have no help in manpower, but he would not even provide any materials, money and food, he was completely an empty leader, and all the resources used to suppress the bandits had to be raised by himself.

If the local commanders and envoys are in command, and even the guards do not cooperate, even the soldiers and horses will have to be recruited by Shen Xi himself.

"This errand is really a hell of a life, you might as well let me single-handedly go to wipe out the bandits and pirates on the southeast coast, and even drive the sampan to destroy Dongying and Goryeo!"

Shen Xi first resented Xie Qian, but after thinking about it carefully, it was no wonder that Scholar Xie was a scholar in this matter, the original intention of the people may be good, give him a chance to prove his experience, not to mention that they also gave him his granddaughter and promised to let the little girl go south with him to suffer hardship......

However, even if Shen Xi suffers by himself, he will never allow Xie Daqianjin to suffer.

No matter how hard he endures, he has no regrets, as long as he can make the people around him live a more stable and comfortable life.

On the third day of the fourth month, Shen Xi married Xie Hengnu.

In addition to preparing for the marriage, the Shen Mansion also has to pack up the luggage, poor Shen Mingjun and his wife have just returned to the capital, and they have to go back to the house, but Zhou's meaning is very clear, if they don't return to Ninghua County, where their son will be an official, she will take her younger son and youngest daughter wherever she goes.

It is best to rely on her son's official authority, so that she can run some business in the local area and taste the good feeling of being covered by someone behind the business.

"Han Wa'er, my mother told you, I don't need you to be more partial, just take your name and set it up there, buy and sell it with a small capital, see who dares not to buy it?"

Zhou said proudly: "I used to see those who were officials, I was envious in my heart, and I thought when our Shen family also had an official, but it's a pity that your uncle is a child, God opened his eyes, and didn't let him become an official, otherwise our Shen family doesn't know what it looks like......"

Shen Xi was a little impatient with Zhou's instigation, but for the sake of filial piety, he still had to pretend to listen carefully.

When the Shen family and his family leave the capital, the dog skin plaster pharmacy will be handed over to Yun Bo to take care of, Zhu Qi will go south with Zhu Shan, and Xiaoyu will also follow, but Hong'er and Lu'er are thin and stay in the capital to take care of their families.

No matter where Shen Xi is an official now, the capital mansion will be taken care of, which is his "root" in this era.

After all, Shen Xi is determined to be in the court, and if he leaves the capital, he will still come back one day, and at that time, he may be in the name of the teacher of the Son of Heaven and make great achievements.

Song Xiaocheng and Ma Jiu counted the manpower and belongings in the capital, and together with the forces of Zhou Fatzi who had been incorporated before, there were a total of 1560 brothers left, and there were still more than 3,000 taels of silver.

According to a brother's salary of about two taels to four taels a year, just the manpower expenses will be stretched, and Shen Xi has to take out some of the silver money and hand it over to Hui Niang and Li Jin as business start-up capital.

The brothers of the Carriage and Horse Gang here cannot be transferred to Hui Niang and Li Jin, mainly to prevent Hui Niang's identity from being revealed. When they arrived in Guangdong, they needed to recruit a new group of people.

Shen Xi was very troubled just for the matter of silver.

Xie Yun'er saw that Shen Xi was settling accounts all night, and thoughtfully proposed: "Xianggong, if it doesn't work, sell the old mansion and sell the shop out, maybe you can raise some money." ”

In the face of his wife's understanding, Shen Xi couldn't do this kind of self-harming thing, shook his head and said: "Yun'er, for the husband is now doing things for His Majesty, and for the court to quell the robbers and bandits, where is the reason to pay out of his own pocket?" ”

"But Xianggong, if he can successfully complete the errand, won't it also help Xianggong to become an official in the future?"

Xie Yun'er's idea is very simple, as long as her husband's official fortune is prosperous in the future, even if the Xie family's old house and shop are lost and lost, she will not hesitate.

The daughter who got married has completely put her position on her husband, especially after having children, and she doesn't take the interests of her mother's side very seriously. After all, it was Shen Xi who brought her a stable life, brought her the warmth of her family, and brought her the glory of a pleasant life.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "My husband is already a feudal official of the third rank at a young age, how do you expect the imperial court to add an official to me?" When the husband returns to the capital in the future, I am afraid that there is no official of the third grade, and he will have to go back to the Zhan Mansion to serve as the speaker of the East Palace of the fifth grade......"

The transfer of Beijing officials, especially the Hanlin officials, is generally increased by three to five levels, and important tasks are entrusted. However, when the magistrate is transferred to the capital, he is basically used at the same level or demoted.

Just like Gaoming City, as the governor of Henan, he was responsible for governing Caoyun and rivers, and the second grade of official residence, which was more respectful than Shen Xi's current status, but after he was transferred back to Beijing, he was demoted several levels in a row, until he donated the silver to the Zhang brothers to curry favor with Emperor Hongzhi, and he reluctantly replaced the household servant from the third grade.

The magistrate seems to be in power, but in the Ming Dynasty, his status is far inferior to that of the Beijing official.

At the beginning, Shen Xi was just a six-grade Hanlin official, and when he went to Quanzhou, Zhang Lian was respectful to him, and Zhang Lian was the prefect of Quanzhou who was the fourth grade, and he wanted to be an official in the local area, and he wanted to have power, if it wasn't for Shen Xi holding the title of Hanlin official, even if it was a court official, Zhang Lian could completely ignore him.

……

……

On the third day of April, the weather was gloomy.

As soon as it dawned on this day, the Shen family's champion mansion was hung with lights inside and outside, and the red lanterns were hung high, but there was no wine banquet in the courtyard, and the wine banquet was set up on the side of the old mansion.

Shen Xi married Xie Hengnu and entered the door, and he had to go to the old mansion with Xie Hengnu to salute Shen Mingjun and his wife, and then he could take Xie Hengnu back to the house.

In these years, it is rare for men to go to two places to welcome their relatives, mainly because there are very few people who have established a business when they get married, they are only fifteen or sixteen years old when they are young, and they are only seventeen or eighteen when they are older, basically they are gnawing at the old family, plus it is a sin to divide the family in this era, so that they are all big families living together, and they welcome the bride into the door and live with the old man, so as to fulfill filial piety.

But Shen Xi is different, Shen Xi is sixteen years old, and he has sons, and he is not married to the main room, but to the second concubine.

Shen Xi has a mansion given by the emperor, and Shen Mingjun and his wife have the old mansion of the Xie family as a residence in the capital, so Shen Xi has to go to the high hall to worship with filial piety first, and then he can take his concubine back to the house and live his own small life.

Shen Xi's concubine was originally an inconspicuous matter in the capital, but because Shen Xi was suddenly promoted to the right deputy capital of the imperial history, and he married the eldest granddaughter of the old family, the whole capital was a sensation.

This champion is enough, thirteen years old champion, sixteen years old official residence is the third grade, a few more years of development, maybe it is Shangshu, the cabinet, even more ruthless is that even Xie Ge Lao, who has always been known for picking the door and being able to speak, is actually willing to marry his granddaughter to him, and he is not a wife.

Even the people who are courted by the old man must not be simple.

Just look at Emperor Hongzhi's reuse of Shen Xi, the East Palace Speaker, the Japanese Speaker, and now he is directly the Governor of Fujian and Guangdong, no matter whether others go to congratulate or not, we must do our best, even if we don't go to the banquet, we must let people send gifts.

Early in the morning, the gate of the Shen family opened, and there was a long queue of people who came to give gifts.

The dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, whether they are big or small, whether they are the six departments or the temple yamen, or the Hanlin officials, they all sent gifts to Shen Xi if they didn't know each other, and the red paper of the registered gift list alone was full of dozens of pages.

Zhou came over in a big red jacket, and when he saw the gift blossoming, he hurriedly said: "Han Wa'er, while you haven't left Beijing yet, just marry Xiaoya and Xiaowen into the door, and receive a few more gifts......

When you say this, it will only make people laugh, and when you see the money, you are probably talking about an uneducated and greedy woman like Zhou.

Xie Yun'er hurriedly explained: "Mother, Xianggong is marrying the daughter of the Ge family's family this time, so many people give gifts, if you marry Xi'er and Xiaowen, it will not be so grand." ”

"How bad is that? Otherwise, when we get to the place, we will have another wedding banquet. The people in this capital have given us gifts, and those magistrates will even more slap you, maybe they will give us more heavy gifts......"

Zhou has been in business with Hui Niang for several years, and has a deep understanding of the officialdom to ask for gifts, how much money she spent on festivals, weddings and funerals in the past, and now she wants to get back several times the gift, in order to feel at ease.

Shen Xi said angrily: "Mother, are you letting the child be a corrupt official?" ”

Zhou said: "What kind of corrupt officials are good officials, isn't it just a reputation?" When others say that you are greedy, you are greedy, and if you say that you are honest, you are honest, how can you not accept gifts when you are an official these days? If receiving gifts is greedy, the most greedy in the world is the emperor Lao'er......"

It was also his son who became the governor of Zhengsanpin, and the Zhou family himself was ordered to speak a lot, and he dared to slander the emperor.

Xie Yun'er was frightened, looked around, and made sure that only when the people in the house heard these rebellious words, no one would spread the word, so she hurriedly whispered to remind her mother-in-law that some things should not be said nonsense.

Zhou also realized that what he said was inappropriate at this time, and seeing his daughter-in-law's nervous appearance, he couldn't help but look around, and then stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

"Uncle, aunt, you don't hurry up and prepare, it's about to be auspicious, and you have to leave to Xie Mansion to welcome your relatives."

The matchmaker came in, smiled flatteringly, and urged repeatedly, "Old lady, you should also go back to the house and wait for your aunt and new lady to come over and serve you tea." ”

Zhou waved his hand angrily: "I know, it's really troublesome, and it's not the first time to welcome the bride into the door...... Or my daughter-in-law is the most obedient. ”

It is said that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, with Zhou's pungency and willfulness, she has a good relationship with her daughter-in-law Xie Yun'er, not to mention contradictions, and there is basically no secret number.

This all depends on Shen Xi's current official promotion and respected status in the family, the Zhou family does not look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, and for the sake of his son's future career, he cannot do anything that damages the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhou and Xie Yuner once did business together and were "good sisters".
