Chapter 901 Gift-giving begins with family members

When Almeida came, there was not even a shadow of a single person around the city walls, but by the time Almeida left, the streets were already crowded with people who had come out to "bid farewell". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Thousands of empty alleys, beating gongs and drums, no less than the grand occasion when Shen Xi led 4,000 soldiers to triumph that day.

These blonde and blue-eyed devils have scared us for more than half a month, and now we know how powerful our Ming is, right? It doesn't matter if he can't open the pot at home, or whether he has all the New Year's goods, he will come out first and take a long look at the excitement.

The people looked at Almeida and the other Francophile leaving, not to mention how happy they were, but in a blink of an eye, they couldn't help but think, what will I eat next? But whatever, it's refreshing today, and it's worth starving to death tomorrow.

Three galleons with a tonnage of about 800 tons were received by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the guns and shells on the ships were readily available, and each ship was an excellent warship, which was much more majestic than the bird boats and blacktail boats that Shen Xi had "borrowed" from the political envoy before.

It was the first time for many people to see such a large ship, and they rushed to the harbor to pay their respects.

Shen Xi walked down the city calmly, at this time, the prefect of Guangzhou, the prefect of Panyu, the prefect of Nanhai and others had already led the local gentry to come to condole, knowing that Shen Xi had made great contributions to the imperial court, so he should stammer as soon as possible, so as not to even be able to snort after Shen Xi became an official.

"Lord Shen, your achievements are high......

"Lord Shen, you have made meritorious efforts to suppress bandits, and your majesty will definitely entrust you with important tasks after returning to Beijing......

The flattering words are the same, there is nothing new, Shen Xixu and the snake, and it took about half an hour to "break out of the encirclement", and the whole body was sweating in the winter.

Shen Xi returned to the Governor's Yamen, and the Sansi Yamen also sent people to congratulate, and even Zhang Yuanying, who had always been unaccustomed to Shen Xi, had to send someone to congratulate him for the second time.

What a huge irony!

When Shen Xi returned from the suppression of bandits in Leizhou Mansion, Zhang Yuanying personally went out of the city to greet him, said a few polite words, and turned his head to weave Shen Xi's "three major crimes", and now the book is still on the way to the capital, but these three crimes have been overthrown by Shen Xi, and it is estimated that there is no place for the old face at this time.

Zhang Yuan should not come to congratulate Shen Xi in person, but just sent a few staff, old-fashioned, at first glance, he is the kind of person who is confused in reading, Shen Xi is too lazy to pay attention, and casually responds to a few words and sends people away.

Before Shen Xi had time to catch his breath, he commanded Li Che to come to congratulate him in person.

Shen Xi first led his troops to quell the bandits in southwest Guangdong, causing the country of Franc to compensate his wife and his troops, and was forced to hand over Luzon to the Ming Dynasty.

Before Li Che "stood in line" decisively, he stood on Shen Xi's side from the beginning.

At this time, it was the time when Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan were disgraced, but Li Che had never raised his eyebrows like now, Li Che felt for the first time that his waist was extremely straight as the commander of Guangdong, and now he was full of confidence even in the face of the chief officials of the feudal division and the yamen.

"Lord Shen, how do you plan to talk to the imperial court about this matter?" Li Che asked what he was most concerned about.

Of course, Shen Xi understood what Li Che was referring to, and replied with a smile: "This official will say a few more good words for General Li in the script. ā€

Li Che thanked Dai De: "Thank you, Lord Shen." ā€

In order to reassure Li Che, Shen Xi wrote today's events into a notebook in front of him, and showed it to Li Che, Li Che saw that the above specifically mentioned the strong assistance of the Guangdong Metropolitan Command Envoy, and felt that the credit had flown to his head, Shen Xi said encouragingly: "General Li, you have to help you in the battle with the bandits in the north next year." ā€

Li Che respectfully received the order: "Yes, Lord Shen!" ā€

A general who is in charge of the military power of a province in the second grade, is respectful to Shen Xi, a civil official of the third grade, and he is about to bow to the door and call him a teacher, this scene seems absurd, but it is a true embodiment of the status of the civil and military generals in this era.

In terms of influence in the court, Li Che is not worthy of lifting shoes for Shen Xi.

Shen Xi himself is a Hanlin official, and he has the errand of the East Palace Lecturer and the Japanese Lecturer, Shen Xi has this meritorious service, and if he is transferred at the same level after going back, he can directly serve as an official position such as the Sixth Ministry of Waiter or Dali Temple, and the General Political Envoy Sitong. Or if the emperor felt that Shen Xi was young and continued to keep him as a lecturer in the East Palace, then Shen Xi would probably be hung up with the titles of Bachelor of Attendant and Scholar of Hanlin Academy.

With Shen Xi's current age, it will be easy to enter the cabinet in the future.

Li Che's heart was excited, fortunately he didn't listen to Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan's slander at the beginning, these two old guys have already been half buried in the ground, what way out can they have in the future?

A political envoy from the second rank to the right, and a third-rank envoy to the inspection envoy, it is impossible to be transferred to the capital to serve as the squire of the six departments, and these two old guys have no experience in performing their duties in the Hanlin Academy, so they don't want to enter the cabinet at all.

Li Che thought to himself: "If you want to choose a backer, you should choose a young and promising person like Lord Shen, even if Lord Shen is not a cabinet minister in the future, with his current merits, if he is transferred to the nine sides, he may be the governor of the three sides, and he will achieve the same merits as Ma Shangshu and Liu Shangshu, if I can be transferred to assist on the side, the future marquis is unknown!" ā€

After congratulating, Li Che went home, and as soon as he arrived home, he instructed Shen Xi to prepare a good field and a beautiful house.

Knowing that Shen Xi rented a yard to live in the city of Guangzhou, Li Che immediately prepared a mansion for Shen Xi, with ten servants and maids; knew that Shen Xi didn't like a little girl like Liuya, so he immediately asked people to go to the city to find a young girl and send it to Shen Xi; Knowing that Shen Xi was going to find experimental fields outside the city to plant corn and sweet potatoes, he hurriedly asked someone to prepare hundreds of hectares of fertile land.

Li Che learned wisely, Shen Xi was not short of money, or he couldn't directly accept him if he was short of money, so he simply didn't send silver, but started from the living needs of Shen Xi and his family.

Shen Xi has a strong blood and natural demand for women, and Shen Xi's family must be satisfied with receiving the silk and satin, and I heard that Shen Xi has an old lady from the countryside, who should like gold, silver and jade, especially what Arhat Guanyin Buddha statue, immediately find someone to build a few, and find an opportunity to send it to the old lady.

I heard that Shen Xi took a carriage in and out, so he found a sedan chair and a sedan chair driver for Shen Xi, it must be a sedan chair with eight lifts, and the sedan chair driver has to find that kind of old style, and the eight people must advance and retreat in a certain degree and walk in unison, so that Lord Shen will feel like sitting on flat ground in the sedan chair.

Lord Shen is deeply loved by the people, if the travel is blocked by those people, it will not be good, the officers and soldiers who open the road must have it, and the honor guard must also be complete, and even the specifications can be improved a little more......

Shen Xi was still in the dark, and Li Che on the other side was already ready to wait for the first few days of the year to launch a sugar-coated bombardment of Shen Xi.

……

……

When Shen Xi returned home, he naturally became a big hero in the family.

The people of the Ming Dynasty all loved to call "Shen Qingtian", and the eunuchs and gentry also came to give gifts, which is enough to show that Shen Xi has made outstanding achievements in Guangdong Province.

Zhou made clothes with the big red satin he had received at home and wore them on his body, and he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut...... Zhou has never worn silk and satin in his life, touch the fabric, and then look at the bright color, not to mention how eye-catching. In Zhou's opinion, the eyes of others looking at her were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and she enjoyed this glory very much.

However, in Shen Xi's opinion, the old lady wore a red dress, as if she was going to remarry, and she was as awkward as she was.

"Mother, the color of this material is too bright for you." Shen Xi pointed it out directly.

"Stinky boy, I know that I hit your mother, this is cut and sewn by my mother herself, and I am ready to wear it as New Year's clothes, but you say it is not good-looking, then you make a good-looking dress for your mother!" Zhou was very satisfied with the new clothes he made by himself, and he was counted down by his son, and his face suddenly collapsed.

Shen Xi said: "Mother, this big red shirt is too dazzling, I think it is better to change the material of the plain color to make a body, if you are too late, you can find a tailor from outside to make it at home." ā€

Zhou said angrily: "You stinky boy, forget who pulled you up with a handful of and urine?" When I first arrived in Ninghua County, my mother took Dai'er to be a tailor, just to earn a few coppers for you to learn to write with my husband. ā€

The women around Shen Xi, except for Lin Dai, who followed the Shen family from a hard life, other people, even Xiaoyu and Xie Yun'er, only met the Zhou family after the Shen family made their fortunes.

In the eyes of these people, Zhou's life is rich and noble, and he has never suffered hardship, Zhou's suddenly said that he used to take Lin Dai out to be a female celebrity to make money, and they heard a sadness in their hearts, and they came to Zhou to comfort him.

Shen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mother, how long has this been going on?" Don't say it, the child doesn't think your craftsmanship, but he thinks the fabric is not good, do you think it's good to let the child cut new clothes for you? ā€

"You...... Why are you so uncompetitive, you are a big official of the third grade, even our county order of Ninghua County and the prefect of Tingzhou are not as big as yours, you actually do farm work and tailor clothes, let people know that you will be laughed at, what else Shen Qingtian, I think he is a hairy boy! Whining...... It's only been a few days, how did you go from a child to an adult? Whining...... It's all his father's fault...... At that time, the family was busy with farm work, and they said don't pester me but they always don't listen, and they give birth to you who has no conscience......"

Zhou began to wipe away tears for no reason.

Shen Xi was helpless, and had a deeper understanding of the old lady's nonsense, so he hurriedly apologized immediately, and then helped Zhou back to the room with Xie Yun'er, and when he came out, Shen Xi made a straight face and explained: "Hurry up and write to my father, my mother can't stay in Guangzhou Mansion, otherwise something may happen." ā€

Xie Yun'er was also helpless.

Now the Zhou family has become the most unlikable existence in the family, but the Zhou family is her mother-in-law, and in the secular etiquette, both she and Shen Xi should be filial, rather than directly sending people away.

If someone finds out, they'll be poked in the back!

Zhou went back to the room, the outside was finally a little more peaceful, Shen Xi said: "The New Year is coming, buy a little more New Year's goods to come back, people in a foreign land, it is rare for the family to get together, so that I can have a reunion year, it will not be long before I have to lead the troops to the north after the year, and deal with the bandits, this time I may not be able to return home in March or May." ā€

Xie Yun'er is most afraid of Shen Xi talking about separation, but she has to understand that Xianggong is working hard for state affairs, which is the consciousness of being the eldest woman of the Shen family. Xie Yun'er said: "Don't worry, whether you are at home or not, the concubine will take care of this home, and nothing will happen." ā€
