Chapter 517: Turning the Face and Not Recognizing People (Fifth Update)
Xie Qian invited Shen Xi to come over the mansion, but he didn't say the specific intention, Shen Xi was wondering in his heart, could it be that Emperor Hongzhi gave Xie Qian some problems that could not be solved, and called him over to prepare for the top cylinder?
Xie Qian said that he couldn't go too early, and of course he couldn't be late, Shen Xi estimated the time when Xie Qian came out of the cabinet, and then went to Xie Mansion, sent the invitation to the door, and politely invited Shen Xi in, and waited in the previous study. Zhike said: "Lord Shen wait, my master will come back soon." ”
Shen Xi could see that the Xie family was very happy that Xie Qian was going back to his home. Xie Qian takes the cabinet as his home and doesn't come back often, these masters in the house want to see Xie Qian but can't, and they are worried, but they can't go to the yamen to meet people, right?
Zhike sent Shen Xi to the study, and hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to report to the master of the family.
Regarding Xie Qian's private life, Shen Xi has some understanding.
Xie Qian's wife was Xu, who gave birth to his eldest son Xie Zheng and second son Xie Pi, and his wife Jin gave birth to four sons, and later Emperor Jiajing gave him four concubines to take care of his body, but because Xie Qian was old at that time, these four concubines did not come out.
In general, Xie Qian's private life is quite nourishing.
Just when Shen Xi was sitting there thinking about things, a person walked in from outside the study, his steps were steady, heroic, from his face, he was about sixteen or seventeen years old, he had not taken off his childishness, he entered the room in a Confucian robe, and saluted Shen Xi respectfully: "The student has seen Shen Hanlin. ”
Shen Xi didn't understand what was going on for a while, but he probably guessed the identity of the other party in his heart and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”
The person who came smiled and said, "The student is Yuyao Xie Pi." ”
Shen Xi nodded and said, "It turned out to be the second son of Xie Ge Lao, and he has been admired for a long time." ”
Xie Qian has a total of six sons and two daughters, the eldest son Xie Zheng died early, the second son and the eldest son are more than ten years old, Xie Pi is Chenghua eighteen years old, now only seventeen years old, just taken the hospital examination and middle school students, is currently preparing for the township examination in Shuntianfu.
I want Xie Qian to be over fifty years old, and his second son is only seventeen years old, which is mainly because Xie Qian was studying abroad when he was in his twenties, and his wife and concubine were treated coldly.
Xie Pi looks a little childish, Xie Hengnu once said that when his second uncle is not studying, he will play with her, which is the happiest time for Xie Hengnu at home.
Xie Pi respectfully invited Shen Xi to sit down, personally served tea to Shen Xi, and said: "Jia Yan once mentioned Shen Hanlin in front of the students, saying that Shen Hanlin's talent and learning are definitely second to none in my Ming Dynasty, and I hope that I will often ask Shen Hanlin about the way of learning." ”
Shen Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "Xie Ge is too flattering, in terms of talent and learning, I can't do it just in case." ”
Shen Xi is from the top of the family, Xie Qian is also from the top of the family, Xie Qian has been immersed in officialdom for so many years, and he must be far above Shen Xi in terms of talent and learning, but Xie Qian rarely goes home, let alone teaches his son knowledge. Shen Xi thought to himself, "Isn't it that Xie Lao'er is going to let me tutor his son's homework?" ”
Shen Xi is the right Zhongyun of the right Chunfang of Zhan Shifu, his main duty is to accompany the prince to study, equal to half of the prince's husband, if Xie Qianzhen let him come back to teach his son, it will inevitably be suspected of public and private use, even if he is given a foot restraint, it is not in line with reason.
Xie Pi was very polite and complimented, and then said: "Today, I heard the servant say that Shen Hanlin is coming, and the student takes the liberty to visit, and wants to come to Shen Hanlin to discuss important matters with the family and the court, and the student is inconvenient to disturb more, and he will definitely visit when he has the opportunity in the future." ”
Shen Xi nodded, got up and sent Xie Qian out of the study, muttering in his heart again, since he was not studying for Professor Xie Pi, what was Xie Qian doing to let him come to the house?
Sending Xie Pi away, as soon as Shen Xi sat down, he saw a small head poking out of the door, and when he saw Shen Xi grinning, he wanted to step in, but he didn't dare, and beckoned to Shen Xi by the door, it was Xie Hengnu that Shen Xi met last time he came to Xie Mansion.
Xie Hengnu is twelve years old, she is still a little girl, and she is full of curiosity about the outside world, but it is a pity that she is raised in the boudoir on weekdays, and she can't get in touch with the outside world at all, but Shen Xi can just open such a window for her.
"Miss Xie?"
Shen Xi walked over and saluted respectfully.
No way, this is not a private meeting, in Xie Qian's mansion, you have to be careful in everything you do, if you are rude to this Miss Xie family, it will not be good if you are caught.
"Huh?"
Xie Hengnu's expression was puzzled, it was obvious that no one had ever called her "Miss Xie", she was a little unfamiliar with this title, "Seventh brother, you can just call someone Jun'er." ”
Shen Xi didn't dare to call it casually, he immediately brushed aside the question of the title and asked, "Why did you come here?" ”
"I overheard the second uncle talking to someone, saying that the seventh brother was coming, so I came over to take a look, and the second uncle didn't know that I was following him, hehe."
The little girl laughs very cutely, after all, it is a girl's heart, with her age, she doesn't know what it means to be reserved, and she happens to be the age when she dares to think and do, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
Shen Xi's face was slightly embarrassed: "Your grandfather is coming back soon, you better go back to the backyard first." ”
The smile on the little girl's face suddenly dimmed, and her little head shook like a rattle: "Seventh brother, since you left last time, I don't dare to go to the garden to play, if there are any more worms coming out, no one will help me catch them." ”
Shen Xi thought to himself, the meaning of my existence is to help the little girl catch snakes?
In the past, when I was in Peach Blossom Village, I couldn't catch a snake all over the mountains and come back to improve my life, but I didn't expect to meet it in the backyard of a wealthy mansion, which is more or less fate.
Shen Xi said: "It's difficult to have any more long worms in Xie Mansion, if there are any more, I'll help you catch them." ”
"Uh-huh."
Xie Hengnu was so happy, Shen Xi would come to catch snakes in the future, it was an interesting thing for her, but thinking that the snakes were wet and slippery, hideous and terrifying, her little face was a little shocked, and she couldn't help but reach out and pull Shen Xi, "Seventh brother, you accompany me to the garden to play, I haven't fed fish for a long time." ”
Shen Xi was really embarrassed in his heart, the little girl asked him to play and feed the fish together, which was a very beautiful scenery in the sunset, but he couldn't have delusions about such a little girl, this was the granddaughter of Xie Qian Xie's scholar.
Shen Xi shook his head and said, "I have important things to do with your grandfather, you have to go back first, be obedient and ......"
"Oh!"
Xie Hengnu pouted, her little face was full of grievances, but she seemed to be very jealous of her grandfather, and reluctantly turned around and walked in the direction of the side courtyard, but she turned around in three steps, as if she was expecting Shen Xi to change her mind.
After Xie Hengnu left, Shen Xi cleaned up his mood and returned to his seat to wait.
"The Xie family is really strange, this Xie Lao'er will not come again, won't everyone in the Xie family come to say hello to me, right?"
Not long after, Xie Qian came back with a black face in court clothes, and he knew that business was not going well at a glance, but after seeing Shen Xi, he immediately changed his usual smile on his face, and greeted with a smile: "Shen Xi, come early, just sit down and talk." ”
Shen Xi didn't dare to sit down, and saluted first: "I don't know why Xie Ge is looking for students to come?" ”
Xie Qian said angrily: "There must be official business to let you come, so you can't talk about private matters?" ”
Personal?
If you have no relatives and no reason, what private matter do I have to talk to you?
But Xie Qian didn't say anything, Shen Xi didn't want to ask each other, just sat down, a maid came in and changed the hot tea again, Xie Qian looked thirsty, took a few big sips of tea, and then turned around and smiled at Shen Xi: "Shen Xi, you are not young, do you have a marriage at home?" ”
Is it actually a marriage? Shen Xi pondered it in his heart and replied truthfully: "Yes, the student was married before the township examination last year. ”
"Huh!? So early? Your wife's room...... Mo is Miss Xie? Xie Qian asked.
Shen Xi nodded: "Exactly." ”
Xie Qian's face became a little ugly, and he muttered: "That's no wonder, you are not the only one who has contributed to the prince's treatment, but you have to fight for His Majesty's Mobao for the Xie family, and Miss Xie can be regarded as marrying a good man." Alas! Nothing else, you can go back. ”
This face turning is faster than turning a book, Shen Xi thought to himself, you are not looking for me to talk about my marriage, if I am not married, you are going to marry my little granddaughter Xie Hengnu to me?
If you think about it, it's really possible!
In these years, girls get married, generally at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and it is not too early to start Zhang Luo's marriage at the age of twelve.
Looking at the capital, if you want to say that you are the same age as Xie Hengnu, and you have a great future, there is no one else who will leave him Shen Xi.
Even if she is Xie Qian's daughter, she is only married to an ordinary official eunuch family, and in these years, she pursues the principle of starting a family first and then starting a career, and there are very few people who can be admitted to the examination at the age of fifteen or sixteen, let alone win the top prize at the age of thirteen.
Some people say that he is a young talent, the name of "prodigy" at the age of thirteen or fourteen is spread everywhere, and as a result, there are many people who can't even pass the exam, and Shen Xi, the champion, has long lost the pressure of the imperial examination, and is waiting for the future to rise in the officialdom, Xie Qian wants to marry his little granddaughter to him, from the perspective of a parent, it is understandable.
But the change in attitude made Shen Xi at a loss.
"Xie Ge Lao has nothing else to do?" Shen Xi asked.
Xie Qian turned his face a little and didn't recognize people: "What else can I do?" In short, you can do many things by yourself, and you must not be sloppy in teaching the prince knowledge in the future. Alright, there you go. ”
Shen Xi came out of the study stupidly, and walked to the door under the guidance of Zhike, at this moment, a voice behind him called: "Seventh brother, seventh brother, you wait......"
But it was Xie Hengnu who trotted out all the way, holding a kite in his hand, and handed it to Shen Xi with a smile, "This is what my second uncle taught me to do, and I want to give it to Seventh Brother when I do it, hehe......hee"
The little girl smiled very shyly, very cute, she didn't know what love was, but she knew what it was to be concerned about.
Xie Hengnu handed the kite to Shen Xi, as if he wanted to play with Shen Xi, but soon found a pair of stern eyes, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he turned around and ran in the direction of the side yard.
Xie Qian walked over with a pale face, and there was great anger in his voice: "You...... When...... Uh-huh, met her? ”
Shen Xi didn't have time to turn back, but the servant next to him hurriedly came out to explain: "Master, last time there was a snake in the house, and I almost bit Miss Sun, but it was Lord Shen who caught the snake." The little ones didn't look at the yard well, and somehow let the snake get in, please forgive the master! ”
Xie Qian was immediately relieved, waved his hand at Shen Xi and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
