After Lu Xi'er said the words, the whole room was quiet for a while.

Xiao Nizi crossed her waist with her hands crossed, with a posture of wanting to fight to the end with Zhou and Hui Niang, and she didn't intend to take back what she said.

This is the first time she has said that she wants to marry Shen Xi in front of others, even if she wanted to before, she only hid it in her heart, or said it to Shen Xi, even in front of Lin Dai, she didn't mention it.

After the words came out, Hui Niang and Zhou's expressions were slightly complicated.

"Little girl, what are you talking about, go home and rest."

Hui Niang seemed to be angry, but her angry appearance was shown to Zhou, making Zhou think that her daughter's wishful thinking was not taught by her, in fact, she had a faint hint of joy in her heart......

As early as a few years ago, Hui Niang had the idea of marrying her daughter to Shen Xi.

Even the mother thinks that Shen Xi, the son-in-law, is not picky, how can she blame the daughter who is with Shen Xi's childhood sweetheart?

When Lu Xi'er said this, it depended on how Zhou reacted. Xiao Nizi grabbed Hui Niang's hand at this time and shouted: "Brother Shen Xi is going to take Sister Dai'er away, and they won't come back in the future." Mother, I don't care, I just want to marry Brother Shen Xi...... Woohoo......"

Crying is the most effective way for the little girl's family to achieve a certain goal, Lu Xi'er was born likable, and no one can bear to make the little girl sad.

But hearing Lu Xi'er's words, Zhou was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close, let alone react.

Seeing this, Hui Niang mistakenly thought that Zhou was unwilling, sighed in her heart, her face turned stern, and she scolded Xiao Nizi twice.

Zhou reacted at this time, but thinking that Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai at home were enough to give her a headache, if she added another Lu Xi'er, she didn't know how to end it, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

When Lu Xi'er had enough trouble, she went back to the room to cover her head and cry a lot, Hui Niang was only sad except for being distressed, because Lu Xi'er had no father since she was a child. What she gave her daughter was a doting that was close to blind obedience, her daughter has always been obedient and sensible, she felt that this was her daughter's understanding of the overall situation, but she didn't know. If it weren't for Shen Xi, who is both a father and an elder brother, and a little lover, Lu Xi'er would not be so well-behaved and lovely.

……

……

"That bad guy knows how to fight with me. Hum. Lin Dai is like a sister to Lu Xi'er on weekdays, but it involves her lifelong happiness. She didn't have the slightest intention of backing down. But she also knew that Shen Xi cared about Lu Xi'er no less than her, and could only use her own methods to compete for favor.

Lu Xi'er couldn't cry, and simply locked herself in the room for the next few days, as if she wanted to use this method to make the two families change their minds.

Similar to Xie Yun'er's situation, the Shen family didn't want to wronged the Lu family's pearl, and Hui Niang felt that her daughter was not worthy of Shen Xi, so the Zhou family and Hui Niang didn't think about getting together to discuss the marriage of the two little guys at all.

With the preparations for the long trip ready, Shen Xi is about to set off for the capital.

Shen Xi entered Beijing this time and brought a total of three carriages. Shen Xi was alone with his books, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone; The female dependents took the fine soft in another car, and Zhu Shan drove the car; The third carriage carried the accompanying chariot and horse gang brothers, and these people will serve as Shen Xi's "little guys" and help Shen Xi after arriving in the capital.

On Ninghua's side, the Li family heard that Shen Xi was going to study in the capital, and wanted to send it off, but after all, she had just returned from Fucheng, and she was too old and frail to withstand the toss, so she wanted Shen Mingtang to send it on her behalf, but Shen Mingjun wrote back to dissuade her. said that everything had been arranged, so that Li did not have to worry.

Li naturally thought that this was his son and daughter-in-law who did not accept her affection, and sulked for a few more days.

……

……

Shen Xi's side has a lot of belongings and fine softness, but it can be compared to Su Tong's side. But it's a small thing.

Su Tong went to Beijing this time, and the servants alone brought more than a dozen, including people and luggage, a total of six carriages, and a concubine and a beautiful maid who had just entered the door to take care of them.

made an appointment to meet one day in advance, and when discussing the itinerary, Su Tong took the concubine and the maid to the teahouse. Seriously introduced to Shen Xi.

“…… This is Chu Xiu, this is Zhen Er, one has just entered the door, and the other is in the inspection period...... Brother Shen, what do you think of them? ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly, according to the standard of marrying a wife and concubine in these years, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife, taking a concubine and accepting a concubine, Su Tong's vision is still good, whether it is Chu Xiu or Zhen Er, they are much more beautiful than his original wife and concubine. After all, Su Tong was promoted in the examination, and even the choice of concubines was much larger, as for the maidservant, she had just bought it back, and she was ready to be a maid in the room, if Zhen'er was lucky in the future, she might be able to become Su Tong's concubine, so Su Tongcai smiled and said that she was in the "inspection period".

Shen Xi said: "Brother Su, I will leave tomorrow, and I will also bring a few female dependents." There will be some inconvenience on the road, so it is better not to see more. ”

Su Tong smiled and nodded, he knew that Shen Xi was different from Zheng Qian's people, Shen Xi was a young man, and he didn't know what Fenghua Xueyue was, even if Shen Xi was in the same room with Oiran Xi'er and Yunliu, didn't nothing happen in the end? Su Tong smiled: "Brother Wei understands." ”

Shen Xi thought to himself: "You don't understand, I brought my female dependents to Beijing to take care of my daily life, and you brought my female dependents purely to pass the boredom of the journey." ”

In fact, Su Tong himself knew that he didn't have any chance to be a jinshi this time, so the main purpose of Su Tong's entry into the capital was to increase his knowledge along the way, and to travel in the mountains and rivers by the way, and his mentality was extremely relaxed.

But Shen Xi's purpose is very simple, if he can win the first place in this examination at the age of thirteen, how many years of hard study can he save, even if he doesn't win, he needs to study hard in Taixue.

……

……

The next morning, after Shen Xi washed and had breakfast, he was ready to set off, and the carriage outside was ready.

This time he sent Shen Xi to the capital, and Song Xiaocheng arranged a capable subordinate as Shen Xi's follower. This person's name is Tang Hu, and there is only one word behind the talented Tang Bohu, and Song Xiaocheng gave him the nickname "Sugar Gourd". In Shen Xi's mouth, it is even simpler, and it is a matter of calling it "gourd".

This gourd brother is also from Ninghua and belongs to the monkey spirit.

Shen Xi found that Song Xiaocheng himself was a shrewd and slippery person, so the subordinates he chose were basically the same temperament as him, Ma Jiu was like this, and so was this gourd.

There are four people under Hulu's hand, who are responsible for taking turns to drive the car, and Hulu is the coachman and bodyguard of Shen Xi's carriage, and he will also come forward to help on the way. However, the Carriage and Horse Gang only paid a few people a small number of carriage and horse fees, and Shen Xi had to be responsible for the specific use.

In order to prevent the situation of slaves and bullies on the road, Song Xiaocheng looked for people. They are all trustworthy natives of Ninghua Village, who know their roots, and ensure that after they return from the capital, they can play important positions in the chariot and horse gang, so they are all full of energy.

Lin Dai traveled far this time. As Shen Xi's personal girl, she is responsible for taking care of Shen Xi alone, while Zhu Shan and Ning'er take care of her.

On this morning, the whole family came out to see each other, and even Xie Yun'er, like Shen Xi's real wife, personally came over to help Shen Xi get into the carriage of the long journey, which is the traditional custom of the Hakka people to send Lang Jun.

Lu Xi'er didn't come out of her room, mainly because her request to marry Shen Xi was not met, and she couldn't get angry, so she simply came out of sight.

Asked by Shen Xi. Hui Niang comforted: "It's good for Xiaolang to go with peace of mind, Xiaoya, this child is a little girl's temper, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

When she turned her head sideways, she was secretly wiping her tears, but unfortunately Shen Xi didn't see it.

This time Shenxi traveled, most of the neighbors came out to see him off, in the end, he sent Xiao Xie Yuangong to the capital to study in Taixue, and when Xiao Xie Yuangong came back, maybe it was some kind of imperial official, where would there be a chance to get close at that time?

Neighbors brought gifts they had prepared. It's all simple things, mostly insoles and food, after all, ordinary people can't afford to send anything valuable.

It's almost a long street, and the neighbors follow behind. Shen Xi walked to the north gate of the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate surrounded him and greeted Shen Xi.

The little Xie Yuangong of Tingzhou Mansion was named Fujian at the age of 12 and was a native of Tingzhou. said it with a sense of pride, many people who had never seen Shen Xi's appearance also came to have a look, but they were a little disappointed after seeing me:

It turns out that little Xie Yuangong is like this, similar to my child, why is it Xie Yuangong, and my child is still playing with mud eggs?

Out of the city gate, along the way to enter the city merchants and porters consciously get out of the way, many people heard that this is to send Xie Yuan Gong to the capital, simply join the ranks of seeing off.

Shen Xi has never received this kind of treatment like the people sending the Qingtian Lord, and he has been out of the city for six or seven miles, and the people have dispersed one after another, but there are still many people who insist on sending Shen Xi to the Shili Pavilion outside the city.

"Brother Shen, if you don't come again, I thought I wouldn't leave today."

Su Tong stepped forward and wanted to get in touch with Shen Xi.

Sure enough, when he greeted Shen Xi, others asked, who is this? Naturally, someone answered on his behalf: This Su Gongzi is also the new person in our Tingzhou Mansion.

When others heard this, they immediately showed respect and envy, and sure enough, people were divided into groups! Xiao Xie Yuangong got to know all talented and noble people, and the people my children knew when they played with mud eggs were all riding with bamboo sticks as horses.

is finally about to set off, Shen Xi still has one thing in mind, in fact, he has been waiting for news from Fuzhou these days.

"Mother, if there is a letter from me at home in a few days, remember to send it to the capital with the letter from home." Shen Xi asked before leaving.

Zhou frowned: "Han Wa'er, who will write to you?" Then his face sank slightly, "Isn't it that you have some other woman outside?" ”

Shen Xi frowned and said, "Mother, what are you thinking." I have always had a good relationship with the prince of the Wang family in Ninghua, my mother should know, he participated in the Wuju Township Test this year, and he is in Fuzhou these days, whether he is in the middle or not, I want to know. ”

Zhou's face was stunned: "The son of the Wang family took the martial arts exam? I don't know, you kid don't deceive the old lady...... I'll ask your dad to ask you when I get back...... But this son of the Wang family is not a person from the same road, don't think about it...... Be careful on the road! ”

Because Shen Xi mentioned Wang Lingzhi, the son of the Wang family, for no reason, the sadness of Zhou's parting was slightly reduced. Zhou still minds the experience of her husband working in the Wang family and being called around, and she doesn't have a good impression of the Wang family.

Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, and then send it outside the long pavilion, which is no longer in line with the rules and etiquette of farewell, and this long pavilion is also the last place to separate.

Before leaving, Shen Xi knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Shen Mingjun and his wife, which is the filial piety that should be done for the son of man.

This made Shen Mingjun and his wife the envy of everyone present...... Look at the good son raised by others, not only has a good life, but also is so filial, and when he becomes a big official in the future, can his father and his mother not enjoy happiness? No, no, my youngest son also has to study, and he will also be promoted to become a big official in the future, and I will also come to see him off at that time, so that others can envy me for a while.

Shen Xi's trip can be regarded as a "wide publicity", and the enrollment rate of children in Tingzhou Mansion has increased significantly in the following years.

Or in the future, a talented Confucian should have been a hard worker, but because the elders in the family were stimulated by Shen Xizhongju, they let him study, thus changing his fate.
