Chapter 490: Restless (Third Update)
Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er have been married for more than a year, and only now can they be regarded as officially husband and wife...... The fake drama came true, and the little couple was the newlywed Yan'er, you and me.
However, at home, the two still have to avoid too intimate actions, because there is a pair of eyes staring at them, and it is naturally Lin Dai, Shen Xi's childhood sweetheart.
Shen Xi didn't think about how to explain this matter to Lin Dai at all.
Xie Yun'er sorted out the "results" left yesterday, and covered up all the things that could be covered, and those wet things couldn't be washed for a while, so they were thrown directly to Chuang.
These need to be sorted out one by one afterwards, such as the bright red, Xie Yun'er is going to cut it with scissors and keep it carefully. Yesterday things happened in a hurry, and there were many things that should have been prepared in advance, and they could only be remedied slowly afterwards. Of course, all of this must be hidden from Daile.
Lin Dai was outside the house, and she didn't see Xie Yun'er and Shen Xi come out for a long time, so she knocked on the door and said, "Are you inside?" ”
One sentence made Xie Yun'er's body tremble.
In fact, in her heart, she also knows that she is sorry for Lin Dai's sister, she is a talented and beautiful couple, and she is just a halfway intruder, who wants to be the first.
Shen Xi noticed the panic on Yuren's face, gently patted her shoulder with his hand to express comfort, then tidied up his clothes, put on his boots, and went over to open the door to welcome Lin Dai into the house.
Lin Dai glanced at the door after entering, and didn't find anything unusual, so she walked to Shen Xi's side. The little girl was ignorant about the affairs of men and women, and she didn't notice anything wrong between Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er, and her little face was full of grievances...... Because Shen Xi has been busy with business these days, she has been going out early and returning late, and she has paid a lot less attention to her, which makes her feel that she has fallen out of favor?
But with Xie Yun'er, the "eldest woman", she can't complain to Shen Xi yet.
At breakfast, Shen Xi felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little solemn, Xie Yun'er excused herself to be physically weak, and went back to rest after eating, while Shen Xi was busy going to Hanlin Academy.
When Shen Xi arrived at the Hanlin Courtyard, he ordered Mao to enter the official room, and as soon as he sat down for a while, he heard that Wang Wei, who was in charge of the affairs of the courtyard, had come over.
In addition to arranging for the compilation of the edict, Wang Wei also sent someone to call Zhu Xizhou out.
When Zhu Xizhou came back, he called Shen Xi, Lun Wenxu and Feng Xi together with an apologetic face, and asked them to immediately put down the business at hand and take a break for a while......
Until further instructions were issued by the imperial court, the three of them were not allowed to go to work in the Hanlin Academy.
The official vacation of the Ming Dynasty can be basically divided into official leave, giving leave, sick leave and personal leave, of which the regular leave includes the festival holiday and the first and fifteenth days of the first and fifteenth days of the lunar New Year, and Shen Xi, Lun Wenxu and Feng Xi are now going to take a leave of absence, and the three of them have been temporarily dismissed, and they can only return to their posts after one thing in the court is decided.
This is the question case of the 12th year of Hongzhi's unqualified Ministry of Science and Rites!
For the time being, this case seems to have nothing to do with Shen Xi and others, but now that the case has developed from the trial stage to the court trial stage, theoretically speaking, all the candidates for this session of the examination may be involved, especially the "beneficiaries" among them, including Shen Xi, the top three and 300 jinshi.
In addition to Wang Shouren and others, who were deployed on an errand job outside, even the new science and technology jinshi who were "watching the government" in various ministries were all temporarily relieved and could not resume work until the case was resolved.
However, it didn't take long, because immediately Emperor Hongzhi would put several parties involved in the incident at noon, and the public trial and judgment were basically on the same day, judging from the situation announced by the imperial court before, this day should be on a certain day in early June.
When Shen Xi was packing up his things, Zhu Xizhou sighed lightly: "Shen Xiu is more responsible, this is the meaning of the above, and I am also afraid that who is really involved in the case will affect the reputation of the various government offices...... I can only wronged you! But we have a lot of trust in you, and with your talents, it is impossible for us to do such a dirty thing, just wait for you to come back sooner. ”
Wang Zan also came over to say comforting words, and Shen Xi smiled slightly: "I'm not alone." The matter at hand is bothering my colleagues in the Hanlin Academy. ”
Shen Xi said that he didn't mind, how could he not care at all? He had only been in office for more than a month before he was dismissed. To say that others may have little to do with the case, but he was once determined to be involved in the case by Du Mu, the "important witness" of the case, and his high school champion became the target of public criticism, maybe there will be some trouble.
In this regard, Shen Xi can only comfort himself, and the clear person will clear himself.
Less than an hour after arriving at Hanlin Courtyard in the morning, Shen Xi went home, so he returned home before noon. Lin Dai, Ning Er and the others were a little puzzled, Shen Xi glanced around, and Xie Yun'er was not seen.
"You...... How did you get back? ”
Lin Dai helped Shen Xi take the things, thinking that there was something unusual in them, and when she looked closely, it was just pen, ink, paper, inkstone and some manuscripts.
Shen Xi said: "For the next period of time, I don't have to go to work in the Hanlin Academy. Where's your sister Yun'er? ”
Lin Dai pursed her lips and snorted softly, she should not be very satisfied with Shen Xi's title to Xie Yun'er, but she still said: "Aunt Xie is sleeping in the house, somehow, she has no energy today, she may be sick." ”
Lin Dai was angry, and in order to show that there was no "sisterly love" between her and Xie Yun'er, she simply restored the original title when Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er were not married.
Shen Xi nodded, didn't say anything, and went back to his house.
At this time, Shen Xi had an unfinished task on hand, which was based on the "prevention of northern troubles" that he wanted to play before.
Since he started working at the Hanlin Academy, Shen Xi has been thinking about how to read books, and he has only recently started to write. In fact, this recital refers to Wang Shouren's upcoming "Eight Things on the Defense of the Northwest Frontier", and with the vision of later generations, Shen Xi's recital is more specific, because he has a clear understanding of the development and evolution of the major powers in the Mongolian steppe in the next few decades.
Now the imperial court is falling into a relatively narrow view of guarding against Warat, believing that Warat is the great disaster of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Logically speaking, Shen Xi should try his best to avoid being too conspicuous between the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, but he still has to strive to make meritorious contributions, and it is best to be promoted to an official position around the fifth rank as soon as possible.
According to historical development, there are still six years before the death of Emperor Hongzhi, which is enough for him to operate, obtain a relatively high official rank and a convenient political environment, so that he can not only settle down in the political wave, but also not involve a certain force and make himself passive in the early years of Zhengde.
At noon, Xie Yun'er woke up, heard that Shen Xi was at home, and hurriedly dressed up, and went to Shen Xi's room with a lazy look, and couldn't help complaining: "Xianggong came home, why didn't he wake up the concubine?" If it weren't for Xiaoshan saying a word when he woke up, he wouldn't know that Xianggong was at home. ”
Shen Xi glanced at the door and didn't see Lin Dai's figure, so he reached out and took Xie Yun'er's slender waist in his arms, wanting to make love, but Xie Yun'er struggled to push it away with shame and resentment, "It's not serious to talk to you." ”
Shen Xi smiled: "Between husband and wife, what is not serious? I still have something to write, you go to get busy first, just have time, go to the Xie family's old house with you in the afternoon to see, by the way, see how to clean up, and let's move over to live in the future, okay? ”
Xie Yun'er pursed her lips and smiled: "I can't ask for it." ”
……
……
Xie Yun'er took back the Xie family's old house and shop, and was very happy, thinking about how to be grateful, so she "dedicated" herself with a nervous mood, and the result was that she and Shen Xi really achieved a hundred years of goodness.
At this time, Xie Yun'er can be regarded as "proud of both career and family", and it is also a coincidence, as soon as she and Shen Xi got together, Shen Xi got a few days off, as if she was prepared for the two of them, when she needed Shen Xi's love the most, Shen Xi had time to accompany her every day, and her face was full of smiles.
Xie Yun'er has always shown indifference, mainly because the burden on her shoulders weighed her breathlessly, and she had no time to relax, even getting married was just a formal marriage, which made her sad state of mind never be resolved.
But now it's different, even if she is a few years older than Shen Xi, Shen Xi's ability and ability are enough for her to rely on, and she also has the confidence to become Shen Xi's virtuous helper, now Shen Xi spoils her and loves her, in addition to happiness, she actually feels a little guilty, because she knows that this happiness does not belong to her.
When you haven't got it, you don't have to worry about losing it, because you haven't had it. But once you get it, you will suffer from both gains and losses.
Therefore, Xie Yun'er's state of mind is extremely complicated, often smirking happily one moment, and losing her soul in panic the next moment.
Taking advantage of the rest, Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er went to the Xie family's old house to check it out, but before that, the two went to Daxing County Ya to register the real estate deed.
I heard that it was the champion of the current department who came to do the work, and the dignified Hanlin Academy revised it, saying that it may not be the sixth ministry or even the cabinet university scholar in the future, where did the people of the county government dare to slack off, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all the formalities were completed.
Subsequently, Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er went to the old mansion of the Xie family not far from the county government, the original owner of the house has not actually lived here, the empty house has been abandoned for several years, if it were not for the fear that the house would collapse or be too dilapidated to sell, the former owner has been hiring someone to clean it, and repairing it once a year, I am afraid it would have been abandoned long ago.
Originally, Lin Dai wanted to go with her, but because she had to go to Daxing County to do business first, it was somewhat inconvenient, so Shen Xi asked Zhu Shan to go with her.
It was not the first time that Shen Xi had come to the Xie family's old mansion, but the last time he came, he only walked around the house and didn't even step into the courtyard gate, but this time he came as the owner.
When he arrived at the gate, an old man with a white beard was walking around there, and when he saw Xie Yun'er, he stepped forward with a look of surprise and saluted, "Miss, are you back?" ”
Xie Yun'er looked excited, and hid her tears slightly: "Uncle Yun, why are you here?" ”
But said that this Yun Bo is the old housekeeper of the Xie family, after the Xie family was in trouble, the Xie family even sold the house where they lived, and they had no place to stand, so they could only go to Tingzhou, and the whole family was basically women and children, so it was not appropriate to take an old housekeeper like Yun Bo on the road, after all, Yun Bo had a family in the capital.
At that time, Xie Yun'er dismissed most of the servants and maids in the family, and Yun Bo also gave him a tael of silver to fend for himself, but she didn't expect to see the old servant as soon as she took back the house this time.
“…… I heard someone talk about it by chance, saying that someone bought the Xie family's mansion in the past few days, and I heard from the neighbors that the young lady had come back to see it, so I came to take a look...... Maybe I can meet Miss, I really didn't expect such good luck. ”
Yun Bo's face was full of emotion, helped open the door, and then led the way in front.
To say that Yun Bo has been in the Xie family for more than 30 years, and he has long been familiar with the inside and outside of the courtyard, but Xie Yun'er is somewhat unfamiliar with the big mansion of the three entrances.
"Miss went to Tingzhou Mansion, I don't know what is going on? Lao Yu has been inquiring about the news of the Xie family, and he also went to the Minsheng Teahouse to ask those businessmen and examineers from Fujian, but they said they didn't know. ”
Xie Yun'er nodded, and glanced at Shen Xi with a little happiness: "It's okay." ”
Uncle Yun was relieved: "That's good, Miss...... This is ...... Second Young Master? ”
Yun Bo finally finished talking to Xie Yun'er, only to find that Xie Yun'er was followed by a silent young man, with Shen Xi's age, he could only regard Shen Xi as Xie Yun'er's younger brother.
Shen Xi asked with a smile, "Yun Bo, do you think I look like the Xie family?" ”
Yun Bo smiled and nodded: "Like, really like...... I didn't expect that when the second young master grew up, he was really a talent! ”
When this sentence came out, Xie Yun'er couldn't hold her face a little, she lowered her head with a blushing face, and said, "Uncle Yun, this is my father-in-law." ”
Yun Bo was shocked, he heard the neighbors say that Xie Yun'er was already married, but he didn't expect to marry a half-old boy, he just carefully observed the age of Xia Shenxi, it may be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Huh? Miss...... This...... Is this my uncle? This...... What's going on? (To be continued.) )
