Chapter 905: Going to Qiongzhou (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Shen Xi has gone from being an outsider in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou provinces to a local official with local roots. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

To complete the transformation from a strong dragon to a snake in the ground, first of all, the prestige of the snake must be suppressed, he did a good job in this regard, Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan and other old ministers were too contemptuous of him, thinking that he was just a descendant, so that he was reversed, and in the end he could only let him dominate Guangzhou Mansion and even the entire Guangdong Province.

Power is only temporary, don't always work against the magistrate, that will only annoy people, and then there will be a fierce collision and lead to nothing, cooperation is the mainstream.

What Shen Xi needs to do is to gather the magistrates, so that they feel that following him can make meritorious achievements, and it is more promising than listening to the words of the political envoys and the envoys. As long as the magistrates are properly allowed to taste the sweetness, at that time, the entire three southeastern provinces will be affected, and Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou will become the base camp on the political road of Shenxi.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xi set up a Hongmen banquet to entertain local civil and military officials in Guangdong Province, and the effect was very good, which not only achieved prestige and wooing, but also made people have nothing to say.

After Shen Xi sent the guests away, Tang Yin came in through the gate, and when he saw the mess in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be stunned...... In the morning, he sat in the back hall for several hours, and he didn't see Shen Xi's figure until the end of the day, so he went to visit Shen's mansion, but when he heard that Shen Xi went out early in the morning, he was at a loss for a while, and finally returned to the inn with his stomach in his breath, and slept with his head covered until now.

At this time, it was already less than three minutes, Tang Bohu had not touched a drop of rice, and his stomach was almost hungry.

When Shen Xi saw Tang Yin, he was very curious and asked, "Oh, Brother Bohu, where have you been?" Tsk, why don't you miss a wine feast...... Oh, by the way, I'm looking for you to find out more about Luzon. ”

Tang Yin was a little annoyed: "Shen Zhongcheng, don't meet and talk to me about business...... Are there some things you should give me an explanation? ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, Tang Yin either wanted to say why his daughter-in-law Miss Xia didn't have a sex with him, or asked why he was detained by the Francophone and almost lost his life. Immediately smiled and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about political affairs, has Brother Bohu heard some rumors outside recently?" ”

Tang Yin frowned slightly, and cross-examined: "I haven't been in Guangzhou Mansion for a long time, where did I hear the rumors?" ”

Shen Xi sighed lightly: "Recently, the people in the city have been preaching, saying that Tang Jieyuan of Suzhou Mansion, who assisted Shen Governor to perform his duties, worked hard and resented the country, and sent a wild land for the country, but was detained by the Yi people, and he was really a national hero......"

"Shen Zhongcheng, you think that someone in Tang is a three-year-old child, will you listen to this nonsense? The people don't even know who I am and who I am, how can I spread the praise? Thy deeds that the people have praised you? As everyone knows, Shen Zhongcheng's exploits are built on the dry bones of countless people! Tang Yin was indignant.

Shen Xi looked at Tang Yin...... I didn't see you become dry bones, what kind of nerves did you have? At that moment, he straightened his face: "If Brother Bohu doesn't believe it, you can go out with this official to listen to the rumors of the people." ”

"Not necessarily."

Tang Yin said angrily, "Shen Zhongcheng, you are now famous, and you will be transferred back to Beijing to become an official in the future." In the next is just to promote the small people, just ask for a fair ...... Shen Zhongcheng said that if he went to Luzon Island in the next trip, he could let him join forces with the cheap, so why didn't he honor it? ”

Shen Xi spread his hands helplessly...... You and your daughter-in-law can't have a room, come to me and say, it's really faceful, things in the boudoir are talked about in public, is our Daming atmosphere open to this extent?

Tang Yin became more and more angry when he saw Shen Xi behaving like this, I don't want you to find anyone, but you promised me at the beginning!

Shen Xiyi raised his hand: "This official has an errand here......

"Shen Zhongcheng doesn't have to take care of him, although he is not a noble person, he also knows how to be courteous, righteous and honest, if he can't fulfill what he promised, he won't do anything!"

Shen Xi persuaded: "Brother Bohu, don't be in a hurry to resign, and listen to the official finish speaking." This official has important business, and Brother Bohu will go to Qiongzhou Mansion for a trip......"

As soon as Tang Yin heard that he was going to Qiongzhou Mansion, he was immediately furious, okay, let me go to Luzon Island, a foreign land, and now let me go to Hainan Island, this is not tortured to death, I won't stop!

In Daming, although Hainan Island has long been returned to the king, it is full of poisonous snakes and beasts, and usually only the officials who have been assigned will go to Qiongzhou Mansion.

"If Brother Bohu is willing to go, ****** can go together, I don't know what to do?" Shen Xi finished his words in Tang Yin's angry eyes.

Tang Yin hesitated for a moment, and went with his wife, then the situation would be different, then Qiongzhou Mansion would no longer be a bitter cold place to be assigned, but a newlywed couple going on their honeymoon. He asked cautiously, "Shen Zhongcheng, you won't be tricking me again, are you?" ”

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Brother Bohu went to Luzon Island before, and now he can go to Qiongzhou Mansion with ******. ”

Tang Yin pondered for a moment and felt that what Shen Xi said was also reasonable.

However, he still made up his mind, if you don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, when the time comes, you don't fulfill my wish, I won't set off, you can't tie me up on the boat, right?

No, it's really possible to kidnap me, isn't it also kidnapped from Suzhou Mansion to the south? I still owe him sixty taels of silver for some reason, and he hasn't even paid me the debt!

Shen Xi ignored Tang Yin and waved his hand: "Come on, prepare the horse, this official will go out of the city to visit relatives and friends later!" ”

……

……

Shen Xi has no relatives and friends in Guangzhou Mansion, if there is anything, there are only Tang Yin and Xia Kuan, since Shen Xi is going out of the city, it is needless to say that he is going to see Xia Kuan, and he may have to raise the issue of letting Miss Xia perform her duties as Mrs. Tang.

Tang Yin was most enthusiastic about this matter, even if Shen Xi didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to follow.

"Shen Zhongcheng, are you going to see Brother Tingsu? Let's go together! Tang Yin got out of the gate of the official post and grabbed the reins of a horse.

Shen Xi didn't explain, he turned over and got on the horse directly, and Tang Yin didn't talk nonsense and jumped on the horse to walk together.

The streets on the first day of the Lunar New Year were empty, and Tang Yin thought that he hadn't eaten since last night when he went out of the city, and his stomach was grumbling with hunger, but compared to the flowers and candles in the cave room that he was looking forward to, being hungry was nothing.

The group, together with Shen Xi's personal guards, had more than 30 horses, followed by a carriage full of gifts, and went out of the city all the way to the east, walking six or seven miles to the town where Xia Kuan temporarily lived.

Entering the alley, the dogs bark and the chickens are endless, and the peach charms are pasted on the doors of each house, and the front of the door is full of traces of fireworks. Only in front of the small courtyard where Xia Kuan lived did not see any festive meaning, obviously Xia Kuan was worried about his mother's illness, and this year was not good.

Shen Xi saw several children sitting in the yard wearing patched clothes, trembling one by one, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This father, in order to fulfill his filial piety, his children don't care about it, let the children blow cold wind in the yard on the first day of the new year, what if it freezes out three long and two short?" ”

"Mr. Tsing Yi is here?"

Shen Xi shouted, Xia Kuan personally greeted the door, and saw that it was Shen Xi and Tang Yin who came together through the fence, and a little surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"Lord Shen, Brother Tang Xian, please ...... inside"

Xia Kuan personally opened the fence door and beckoned.

Shen Xi glanced at Tang Yin with a smile, as if to say, Xia Kuan calls you a virtuous brother, it seems that he treats you as a family, and he doesn't take the opportunity to have a relationship with your eldest brother?

Tang Yin's mind is on the wife in the house at this time, where can he take care of Xia Kuan? Just when he was thinking about it, Shen Xi took a package from the hand of his entourage, rushed into the courtyard first, and said: "Today is the Spring Festival, this official has come to pay New Year's greetings and brought some small gifts for the children." ”

"How can you let Lord Shen break the bank?" Xia Kuan's face was a little embarrassed.

Shen Xi had already handed over the package, and one of Xia Kuan's sons opened it, and saw that on the surface it was a very delicate pastry, and the horseshoe cake and chicken cake were very attractive at first glance, and he couldn't help but light up. But the Xia family has a very good tutor, and none of the children reached out to take it, and they all looked sideways at Xia Kuan.

Even if Xia Kuan was hard-hearted, in the face of the child's longing gaze, he could only wave his hand in the end: "Go to the house to eat, and it must not affect the father's visit!" ”

A few children went to the house happily, and Shen Xi asked Zhu Qi to bring in more gifts, and Xia Kuan was not informal, and accepted them after thanking them.

Xia Mansion Mansion is not big, but there are many people, Xia Kuan did not invite Shen Xi to sit in the house, but still set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, and invited Shen Xi to sit down, while he himself bowed and stood.

Sitting in the courtyard blowing the cold wind in the winter, Shen Xi thought to himself that this Xia Kuan's hospitality was really different.

Shen Xi asked with concern, "Old Madam Xia's illness, I don't know what's wrong?" ”

Xia Kuan's expression was gloomy, obviously his condition did not improve. Shen Xi shook his head and said, "The official brought some medicine, maybe it will help the old lady's body." ”

"Hopefully, thank you, Lord Shen." Xia Kuan nodded in thanks.

Shen Xi bowed his head, seeing that Tang Yin was in a hurry beside him, he smiled and said, "Brother Bohu, is there any inconvenience for this official here, do you have something to talk to Mr. Tsing Yi alone?" ”

Tang Yin glanced at Shen Xi and said, "Where is it, there is no such thing." ”

What a duplicitous guy, I clearly don't want to say it myself, let me say it.

It was Xia Kuan who saluted Tang Yin: "Brother Tang Xian served the country and stayed in Fanbang, I heard about it, and Brother Tang Xian worked hard." ”

Tang Yin was a little confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Shen Xi, muttering in his heart, do the people really praise me as a "national hero"? Suddenly, his waist straightened a little.

Shen Xi sighed lightly: "Mr. Tsing Yi, there is something that should not be taken the liberty to say, but I have to say it." The official is going to send Brother Tang to Qiongzhou Mansion on a business trip...... Although the salt of Luzon can solve the urgent need, but in the end, it is a foreign land, and the official does not want to introduce advanced salt-making technology to foreign countries, so he thinks about it, or Qiongzhou Mansion is more reliable! ”

"After Brother Tang goes to Qiongzhou Island, he will help the official to open up a new salt field and contribute to the people of the Ming Dynasty to eat cheap salt, but Brother Tang has just returned from Fanbang, and he is alone and sad on weekdays, so he can only borrow wine to drown his sorrows, but he doesn't know ...... Can you let Tang Xia go to Qiongzhou with him? ”

Tang Yin heard Shen Xi speak for him, describing his hardships and hardships, and felt that Shen Xi was quite kind, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately frowned, do you Shen Zhongcheng want to say it so bluntly? You said that I worked very hard, and I wanted Xia Kuan, who didn't eat oil and salt, to agree with his sister to go with me?

"This ......"

Xia Kuan really looked embarrassed.

Tang Yin desperately gave Shen Xi a look, meaning that you hurry up and change your words to say good things for me! But Shen Xi didn't see it, but just looked at Xia Kuan with an inquiring gaze.

Xia Kuan hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement: "Brother Tang Xian has worked hard for state affairs, and now he is going to Qiongzhou again, if the contemptible people don't agree, it will be unkind." Little sister, come out and go with you! ”
