Chapter 498: Help Once

Originally, Shen Xi felt that it was very necessary to remind Tang Yin to be careful of his good friend Du Mu, what a person was most afraid of was that there were small people around him who were conspiring and treacherous, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the road. But now that Shen Xi sees that Tang Yin's trust in Du Mu is much greater than him, if he rashly says it, it will be to provoke the relationship between others, and he may be driven out of the door directly by Tang Yin, and don't want to be friends again in the future.

Shen Xi said: "Brother Tang has ever thought about it, just to participate in the matter, how can it become a big case that shook the government and the opposition, and even Cheng Laoshangshu was involved in it, and finally died of depression?" ”

Tang Yin pondered for a long time, and it was obvious that he couldn't get any answer to this question...... Even Shen Xi, the champion in the officialdom, couldn't find the culprit behind the case, Tang Yin thought that there was still a gap between his talent and Shen Xi, so he respectfully asked: "I want to hear the details." ”

Shen Xi shook his head and sighed: "It's better to say some things unclearly, now that Brother Tang has sent Zhejiang as an official, when are you going to leave?" ”

Tang Yin glanced at Shen Xi, thinking that this kid was treacherous enough, and he only spoke halfway, and said angrily at the moment: "The Son of Heaven can't distinguish between right and wrong, politics is so dirty, he will never be a sword and pen official, and he is determined to be the person who is idle and wild cranes from now on, and he will go on a boat on the lake in the future, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and plant a piece of peach blossoms, and live in peace!" ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, Tang Yin's mentality was really distorted because of the problem, he originally planned to boost Tang Yin's confidence and let Tang Yin make a difference in officialdom, but now it seems that even if he tries hard, it will be in vain, Tang Yin is dead to officialdom.

Shen Xi suddenly groaned: "Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, Peach Blossom Nunnery under Peach Blossom Nunnery, Peach Blossom Fairy people plant peach trees, and pick peach blossoms for wine money...... Brother Tang probably pursues this kind of life, right? ”

"However, I would like to ask Brother Tang a question, have you ever thought about what you want to do for a living in the future? Could it be that a few peach blossoms can be exchanged for a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing? It may be possible to live in poverty, but I am afraid that I will be forced by life! ”

This is a question of how to compromise between ideal and reality, everyone can imagine a fairy-like living environment for themselves, but some things still have to be seen clearly...... It is true that you Tang Bohu want to live like a peach blossom fairy in the peach blossom dock, but after all, you still have to face the problem of food and clothing, and you must support your wife and children.

Although Shen Xi knew that Tang Yin would reconcile with his wife after returning to his hometown, he would live a turbulent life in the future.

Others plant peach trees to eat peaches, but Tang Yin planted peach trees purely to appreciate peach blossoms, and used peach blossoms in exchange for wine money, peach trees bloom for less than a month every year, which means that Tang Yin's life is bleak for eleven months a year.

"This ......"

After Tang Yin thought about it carefully, he said, "I have my own way." When he said this, he was a little disappreciative in his heart: "How does he know what my family situation is?" Even though my family is in the middle of the road now, with my fame in Jiangnan, there are countless people who ask me for paintings on weekdays, and I can sell paintings and calligraphy to make a living. ”

Shen Xi could see that Tang Yin was a guy who didn't plan for the future at all, and now he just wanted to stay away from officialdom as soon as possible and live his ideal life. Since Tang Yin's pursuit is so, Shen Xi does not plan to persuade him anymore, but he still said in a responsible tone: "Brother Tang, I think the two of us will have a chance to meet in the future, so we might as well do it...... How about we make a deal? ”

"Oh?"

An interested look appeared on Tang Yin's face.

Shen Xi said: "If you go out of Beijing in the future and take charge of one party, when Brother Tang is in distress, just come to vote, and he will be treated as a guest of honor, please Brother Tang don't forget what he said today." ”

Tang Yin was silent for a while.

Shen Xi's words obviously carried pity and charity, which made Tang Yin very unhappy to hear it, but thinking of Shen Xi's words before, and thinking about it carefully, Shen Xi was actually thinking about his future.

Tang Yin is not a person who does not know what to do, others have given him a way out, there is no need for him to block this road, although he himself does not feel that he will be so depressed in the future that it will be difficult to even make ends meet and have to go to Shen Xi.

"Okay."

Tang Yin arched his hand as a promise.

Shen Xi saw the ceremony again, although he didn't want to talk about Du Mu in front of Tang Yin, he still reminded: "Brother Tang had better be careful of the people around him, not everyone is as humble and gentleman as Brother Tang." ”

Tang Yin mistakenly took the "people around him" that Shen Xi said for Xu Jing, thinking that Xu Jing was so unprincipled, Tang Yin's face suddenly became ugly, and finally sent Shen Xi out of the room, but did not accompany him downstairs.

Shen Xi could see that Tang Yin's injuries were indeed very serious, and he was struggling...... As the so-called 100 days of broken muscles and bones, it is unlikely that Tang Yin will leave the capital in a short period of time.

Out of the inn where Tang Yin was temporarily staying, Shen Xi confessed to Song Xiaocheng: "Find a few people to watch, no matter who has been here, or where he is going, find someone to follow." ”

Song Xiaocheng looked puzzled: "Lord Zhuangyuan, what is this for?" This person is a pedantic scholar, let's get close to him, and we can't get any benefit. ”

Shen Xi shook his head and asked Song Xiaocheng to just do what he wanted.

"Brother Tang, Brother Tang, I'll help you this time!" Shen Xi sighed a little and left slowly.

……

……

After seeing Tang Yin, Shen Xi then went to see Zhou Fatzi.

In the past, Zhou Fatzi transported grain for the imperial court, and now the grain has arrived safely in the disaster area.

The flood occurred in the spring, and now three months have passed, and the disaster has already been alleviated.

Zhou Fatzi made a meritorious contribution and became an official and businessman designated by the Ministry of Household as he wished...... What he values is not how much money he can make from the imperial court, but how much the household can support his business.

Zhou Fatzi was very respectful to Shen Xi, and when he heard that Shen Xi was about to move to a new house, he immediately sent a congratulatory gift to Shen Xi, knowing that Shen Xi did not accept cash, so he sent some "manpower" to Shen Xi, saying that he could help move and lift, and now these people are all working under Song Xiaocheng.

Shen Xi temporarily lived in the teahouse at the mouth of the alley where the courtyard was located, Shen Xi went up to the second floor, and saw Zhou Fatzi sitting at the window at a glance, and joked at the moment: "Zhou Dangjia looks good, presumably business has been good recently, right?" ”

Fat Zhou hurriedly got up, gave Shen Xi a kneeling salute, and after getting up, he nodded and said, "It's not a household department yet...... Take care of Shen Xiu, this time for the disaster area to transport grain, the villain has been appreciated by Shangguan, and I don't know how to repay Shen Xiu, this little bit of Bo Li Shen Xiu must be accepted. ”

After speaking, Zhou Fatzi returned to the teahouse, picked up a wooden box, opened it in front of Shen Xi, and there was a small gold ingot neatly placed inside, which added up to forty or fifty taels, "These worthless things, Shen Xiu's family has a beautiful wife and concubine, you might as well make a few gold utensils for the ladies as a villain's filial piety." ”

Shen Xi finally realized the benefits of being an official.

As long as it is an official, others will try their best to stammer. With Shen Xi's current official position in Hanlin, he will not have any interests with a businessman, but Zhou Fatzi keeps giving generous gifts, on the one hand, he sees that Shen Xi is very appreciated by Liu Daxia, the secretary of the household department, and he can stabilize the line of the household department; On the other hand, as an investment, if Shen Xi soars and rises all the way, it can provide shelter for him.

Shen Xi smiled and waved his hand: "No need, there is no shortage of money to spend." ”

Zhou Fatzi's face showed a slight strange color, it is estimated that he heard that Shen Xi redeemed the Xie family's old mansion, but he didn't have the money to repair it well, so that now he is still living in a small courtyard and has not moved, he used to send silver and real estate to Shen Xi, Shen Xi did not accept it, this time he sent gold instead, thinking that the gold ingots are easy to keep, Shen Xi will laugh.

But Shen Xi didn't get to the point where Li Lingzhi was dizzy.

In these years, it is not easy to exchange gold for copper plates in the market, and he suddenly has a large amount of gold in his hands, and once it is exposed, the officials of Kedao will definitely be impeached. Besides, although Zhou Fatzi can be a man, he is cunning and cunning, and he is now acting in the name of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and he is afraid that the business will be swallowed up by Shen Xi using his official position in the future, so he has always been vigilant......

Shen Xi must not let himself have a handle to be caught by the other party!

"Shen Xiu, there is an invitation here, it was sent to Shen Xiu by the villain entrusted by the jade master, and the jade master said, if the adults have time, I hope to visit one or two."

Zhou Fatzi handed over an invitation, Shen Xi had seen it, but it was an invitation letter from Yu Niang's new place to open Fengyue.

Fat Zhou said before that he gave Yu Niang a few shops as a "thank you gift...... These shops themselves are Fengyue places, and Zhou Fatzi gave them to Yu Niang along with the deed of sale of the girls inside.

After Yu Niang accepted it, she planned to use it to settle her "daughters" and continue to do the business of laughing at the party.

The corners of Shen Xi's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Why doesn't the Jade Master send the invitation himself?" ”

Zhou Fatzi said with a smile: "Shen Xiuzuo is now a Hanlin official, and according to the rules, he can't go...... Moreover, there are beautiful wives and concubines in the family, and it is not very convenient for the jade family to always come to the door. But adults can rest assured, the villain will make proper arrangements, and adults can visit with peace of mind, maybe the jade family has something to discuss with adults? ”

Shen Xi knows Yu Niang's character very well, if this woman really has something, she will come to the door, why bend and let Zhou Fatzi invite on her behalf?

Where did Yu Niang open the green building, what was the scale and grade, and what was the best in it, Shen Xi was not interested in knowing at all, he knew very well that even if Yu Niang ran the green building, she still had to collect information for the imperial court, and the place of the wind and moon was mixed, and it was easiest to get news.

"Please go back to the jade house, if I have time, I will naturally go." Shen Xi got up and left.

Zhou Fatzi sent off the guests respectfully, and when he arrived at the gate of the teahouse below, he saw a small sedan car stopped, and Miss Li Er just got out of the car, and when she saw Shen Xi and Zhou Fatzi walking together, her face changed abruptly.

"Miss Li?" Shen Xi bowed.

He knew that it was impossible for Miss Li Er to pass by so coincidentally, and since she came to his neighborhood, she must have something to ask for.

Miss Li Er glared at Zhou Fatzi viciously, and Fatman Zhou looked a little inexplicable, obviously he didn't know this young lady from the Shangjia family.

"The adults are fine, the villain has retired." After Zhou Fatzi saluted, he left with his men.

When the people were far away, Miss Li Er was a little resentful: "Painter Zhao doesn't know why he would walk with the surname Zhou?" ”

The hostility is very great, Shen Xi pondered, isn't it like an enemy country in the same industry, and Zhou Fatzi has a business competition with the Li family?

Shen Xi said: "Master Zhou, please draw a picture below." ”

Second Miss Li said angrily: "Why does Lord Shen have to hide it? With the money that adults are now in the court, enough to support their wives and children, why do they need to sell paintings for a living? Pity my Li family is in the dark, if I offend the adults because of this, I am afraid that my Li family will be restless. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, there are fewer places for your Li family to offend me? I haven't bothered with you yet!
