Chapter 1009: No Regrets
Zhu Houzhao is not a vegetarian, and after he went back, he asked people to pull the little twister out and beat him, and he didn't explain the reason, and he made the eunuchs and attendants in the East Palace tremble. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bear child couldn't help but miss Liu Jin who obeyed him. When he felt that Zhang Yuan, Xiao Twister and others he trusted had different intentions, Liu Jin's benefits were remembered by him.
Liu Jin can at least run around with the bear child, obey him, and always work hard and be diligent, and Liu Jin was hated by the Zhang brothers and others because of the previous incident of the bear child leaving the palace, and repeatedly slandered in front of Queen Zhang, so he was transferred, and the little guy has grown up a little now, has a sense of responsibility, and understands that Liu Jin was killed by himself.

Shen Xi's return to Beijing is both an opportunity and a challenge, and whether he can stay in the capital is the biggest problem in front of Shen Xi.
At this time, Shen Xi was on his way to the north, and he didn't know that through the efforts of Xie Qian and the bear child Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Hongzhi had changed his mind and was ready to leave him in the capital.
Shen Xi was a little lost.
When he went south, his family and his entourage, as well as the factory guards who guarded him, were mighty; Although there were a lot of people around him when he went back, Shen Xi felt that he was out of place with the team, as if he was a prisoner who had been escorted to Beijing.
Jiang Liwei did foolish things and became a prisoner, while everything Shen Xi did was bright and vigorous, and life was still not easy.
Jiang Liwei may be exonerated after returning to Beijing, and even if the official is reinstated, he will not be beheaded at worst, because it is not the beginning of the Ming Dynasty now, and asking for bribes is almost an unspoken rule of officialdom, especially Jiang Liwei has not succeeded, and Yousi will definitely not be sentenced again. However, Shen Xi had to go to the northwest to fight the Tatars, working hard every day for the battle situation in the bitter cold land, and guarding against cold arrows from behind, and if he was not careful, he would spill blood on the battlefield.
Smart people will reflect on themselves, Shen Xi was thinking about a question on the way north, is it wrong to rush into officialdom by squeezing his head?
After thinking about it, and even sleepless nights for a few nights, Shen Xi finally figured out that in this Ming Dynasty, only an official can take most of his fate into his own hands, and he is now facing a lot of difficulties, but compared with those ordinary people who have to be careful about food and clothing, he is already living a fairy life.
Only with power can you have wealth and beauty, and have everything that others can't get, otherwise even if you can be rich in business, the beauties around you will be all over the country, but just an ordinary official can make you lose everything.
This is the difference between being an official in the Ming Dynasty and not being an official.
Shen Xi also felt that the key to his mistake was to show his edge prematurely.
It was also because he was tired of the endless quarrels and open and secret fights in the Shen family, and wanted to gain fame as soon as possible, so that he and his parents could raise their eyebrows, and at the same time, it was also to let Hui Niang get more protection.
Maybe it's a bit rushed, but now that I think about it, it should be the best result to get fame around the age of twenty.
There is no regret medicine in this world, Shen Xi thought about it carefully, and found that he actually did nothing wrong, if he really let him take the imperial examination at the age of twenty, it is a big question mark whether he can pass the examination!
In this era, it is one thing to take the imperial examination, and it is another thing to grasp the opportunity!
If it weren't for Shen Xi knowing Gao Mingcheng's preferences, he might not even have been able to stabilize the government test; If it weren't for Liu Daxia's secret help, he wouldn't have raised people in high school, and it would be impossible for him to try to solve the yuan in the countryside. If you don't know in advance the exam questions of your own annual meeting and palace examination, how can you continue to be the champion and champion of high school?
In Shen Xi's previous life, he lived in an era of knowledge explosion, and he may be a step above the people of this era in terms of insight and knowledge reserves, but this will not translate into an advantage for him to take the imperial examination.
The minds of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are to study the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", maybe find an old boy who can be comparable to him Shen Xi in the eight-strand articles, not to mention the comparison between Jinshi, the quality of the articles is usually indistinguishable, only depends on whether the reader appreciates it.
Since you are in officialdom, you don't have to regret it.
If he hadn't entered the officialdom in advance, he wouldn't have the brilliant and dazzling he has now, and if he wants to gain trust after the prince Zhu Houzhao's personality is finalized, it will never be so simple, unless Shen Xi is a courtier and accompanies Zhu Houzhao to eat, drink and have fun...... Finding gadgets for Zhu Houzhao, who was a young prince, is to coax a child, and having fun for Zhu Houzhao, who is an adult emperor, is a traitor in the court and China, and he has to bear the infamy of history.
What's more, because of this, he also got acquainted with Xie Qian in advance, got the love of the smart and lovely Xie Hengnu and got married, if he arrived in Beijing a few years late, there was no possibility between him and Xie Hengnu.
But many things are dialectically opposed, maybe because I arrived in the capital ahead of schedule, I missed the favor of another beauty?
Thinking of this, Shen Xi smiled self-deprecatingly, grasping the present and cherishing the talents around him is the most important thing! His mind couldn't help but drift to Guangzhou Mansion, thinking of Xie Hengnu, who was raising a baby with peace of mind, and worried about whether she would adapt to the hard journey on the way north.
……
……
In this era, even the official road is uneven and stumbling. The car is tiring along the way, and when you go uphill, you are worried about the lack of horsepower and need to get off the car for a ride, and when you go downhill, you are worried that the speed of the car is too fast and you fall off the cliff, and you can't take the carriage.
The official road winds between the mountains, there is no such thing as a tunnel at all, and even when crossing some wide rivers, you need to change boats, plus with luggage, many people get on the boat, unload the boat, and it is very tossing back and forth.
Shen Xi was able to mobilize the guards temporarily borrowed from Chang Lan, as well as the brothers of the chariot and horse gang, when waiting for the people to load and unload the boat, he would sit on the big rocks by the river, and sometimes even take off his shoes and soak his feet, so that it was cool on a hot day...... Snakes, insects, rats and ants have long been strange along the way, and there are people waiting for them at any time, so they are not afraid of accidents.
"Are you homesick?"
Yu Niang has always paid attention to Shen Xi, and likes to go to Shen Xi's side when she has nothing to do, and say something nonsense, but Shen Xi doesn't want to deal with her.
Shen Xi asked rhetorically: "Is Yu Niang homesick again?" ”
Yu Niang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "The adult smiled, the slave family is alone, running around the life, if you want to say that when you are stable, it is in the years in Tingzhou, it is the honor of the slave family to get to know the adult." ”
Shen Xi asked, "What about the Qi family?" ”
Yu Niang was stunned on the spot, she didn't expect Shen Xi to suddenly mention the "Qi family", she didn't even know where Shen Xi found out about her life experience.
Yu Niang frowned: "The slave family doesn't understand what the adults mean by this......"
Shen Xi said intentionally or unintentionally: "Yu Niang should be surnamed Fang, but I don't know if this surname is your original surname, but I know that Yu Niang's former husband's surname is Qi, if Yu Niang chooses again, she should be more willing to stay in the Qi family and live a peaceful life, right?" ”
The conversation was provoked by Yu Niang, and Shen Xi directly brought up Yu Niang's "sad thing" along the way...... Don't you like to inquire about my family affairs, thinking that I don't know anything about you? Then I'll tell you, I still know a little bit about your past.
"Where do you know?" Yu Niang didn't deny it, but she was a little embarrassed that the secret she had hidden in her heart for twenty years would be mentioned by Shen Xi.
Shen Xi shook his head helplessly: "Yu Niang's identity, more than one person should know, right?" At least, those who appreciate Jade Niang should know the inside story, and it is not surprising to mention it to me casually! ”
Yu Niang was startled, and suddenly realized that the person Shen Xi was talking about was Liu Daxia.
When Yu Niang and Shen Xi met Liu Daxia in Tingzhou, Liu Daxia once called him "Qi Fang's". Yu Niang smiled bitterly: "Time has passed, I didn't expect the adults to remember." ”
"It's only six years, and if it's sixteen, maybe you've forgotten everything. You're afraid you've forgotten who you are, right? Shen Xi said.
Yu Niang's expression was slightly embarrassed, but she still said truthfully: "The slave family really doesn't want to mention sad things, so naturally they won't deliberately remember it." Indeed, as the adults said, when they were in the Qi family, it was the most stable time in the life of the slave family, how could they not miss it? But the past is gone, so what's the use of thinking about it? ”
Shen Xi raised his head, looked at the reeds on the other side of the river, and the children playing in the shallows by the river, and said, "That's not necessarily, there is something to miss, it's better than no nostalgia." There is a comparison in my heart, at least I know what I am pursuing, and I believe that Yu Niang is the same? ”
After Shen Xi finished speaking, he yawned, stood up, and put on his shoes and socks, "I haven't slept well these days, I'm sleepy, I really miss the leisurely days at home, there are people who are close to me to fan the wind, and you can live a carefree life where you can stretch your hands and open your mouth for food!" ”
After speaking, Shen Xijing walked towards the carriage that had just unloaded the boat, preparing to get into the carriage and continue to sleep.
Yu Niang was a little angry, she wanted to get closer to Shen Xi, but who knew that being told by Shen Xi made her feel extremely bad.
At this time, Yu Niang knew that Shen Xi was terrible, not only did she not have the childishness of appearance, she had a city in her chest, and she knew how to take advantage of the weakness of people's hearts, and the thing she didn't want to mention was brought up by Shen Xi in a grand manner, but the two "daughters" Yunliu and Xi'er were still listening, and Shen Xi seemed to be deliberately making her unable to get off the stage.
"See what?"
Yu Niang said angrily, "Didn't you hear what the adults said? The opportunity is right in front of you, if you can't even do the work of serving tea and water in front of the couch, no one will be pitiful for a lifetime! ”
