Shen Xi had just returned home from Zhan Shifu, and happened to run into a team of gift-givers...... But it was a gift from the Hou Mansion of Shouning, and there were thirty or forty people just carrying boxes and escorting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There happened to be a scholar at the gate of the Shen Mansion who came to send the worship post, and when they saw this scene, they all wanted to know what Shen Xi would do, whether it was a set in front of him and a set behind his back.

"Lord Shen, this is a small gift from Master Hou and others, and there is also an invitation card, please come to the Hou Mansion for a while." The Hou Mansion of Shouning gave gifts to Shen Xi not once or twice, and Shen Xi was about to remember these faces.

Shen Xi arched his hand and said: "The gift is too expensive to accept below, please bring the gift back." ”

"Lord Shen, this is yours, we all sent the gifts, why do you have to accept it!" The leader of the Shouning Marquis Mansion said in embarrassment, "Don't let the little ones be too difficult. ”

It's hard for you to do it, so it's not hard for me to do it!?

The gifts you sent before were still in the name of congratulating housewarming, festivals, etc., I didn't accept it because I looked down on the Zhang brothers, and even disrespected the queen, but this time you are good, and directly give me a gift in front of many scholars, the chief examiner of the township examination, this is clearly telling the world that I, Shen Xi, am a corrupt official, and have a close relationship with the party.

How poisonous!

Shen Xi said: "Whether to give a gift or not lies in Shou Ninghou, but whether to receive it or not is in me, if a few are willing, leave the gift at the door, and will not be responsible for the loss, send the guest!" ”

Shen Xi's tough attitude is something that the people in the Shouning Hou Mansion have never seen, when they arrive at someone else's house, everyone respectfully greets them, where is there Shen Xi who puts on a face like this?

"Your ......, my lord"

"Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, the door closed directly.

Someone from behind hurriedly came over and asked: "Steward Sun, look at this ......"

"Carry it back, dare to be rude to the people in the Hou Shouning Mansion, that is to be rude to the queen and your majesty." Steward Sun looked arrogant, "Today there is a long pet, and tomorrow there will definitely be no place to die!" ”

The more Steward Sun spoke, the more relieved the onlookers became, and some people couldn't help but applaud at the back.

"Lord Shen is honest and honest, and he doesn't even accept gifts from the Hou Mansion of Shouning, let alone others? It seems that this township test relies on real talent and real learning, and I will review my homework when I go back! ”

As soon as someone greeted him, the scholars felt that it made sense, and while praising Shen Xi for his honesty and integrity, they dispersed with a smile and a smile, and soon the news of Shen Xi's refusal to give gifts from the Marquis of Shouning spread throughout the capital.

Let's say that Shen Xi entered the gate of the mansion and caught a glimpse of Xie Yun'er beckoning the maid to do things in the courtyard.

After a month of recuperation, Xie Yuner's body basically returned to normal, and she began to manage housework again.

"Xianggong, today is the full moon in Ping'er, is there a banquet in the house?"

Xie Yun'er didn't say that Shen Xi had forgotten that it was his son's full moon that day, but now in this situation, it is really not appropriate to make a big fanfare, Shen Xi sighed: "Just get together with your family and eat something delicious, don't alarm outsiders, we don't have any relatives in the capital, so we are happy and relaxed." It's the shopkeeper's side...... Let's go over and give a gift. ”

When others give birth to children, they hate to let their colleagues know, distribute invitations in a big way, and then set up a banquet in the house to wait for others to come to give gifts, but Shen Xisheng's son is very low-key, and he didn't even notify his colleagues in Zhan Shifu.

Although it seems a little sluggish, the Zhan Mansion mainly serves the emperor's family, and it is rare for officials to see each other on weekdays, who wants to take care of others?

Xie Yun'er went to arrange the return of gifts to Hui Niang, Shen Xi teased her son, and then went into the study to write.

……

……

Giving gifts with great fanfare but eating outside the Shen Mansion, Steward Sun returned to the Shouning Marquis Mansion with a group of people, and the first thing he did when he entered was to complain to Zhang Heling.

Zhang Yanling, who was discussing things with his eldest brother, was furious: "This Shen Xi, I don't know each other well, dare to give us face like this!" Big brother, it seems that you are probably wrong, this champion has no intention of taking refuge in us, it seems that this kid must be suppressed, otherwise anyone can kick his nose in front of us! ”

Zhang Heling smiled secretly: "Second brother, did he refuse the gifts we gave before?" Why is this time exceptional? Don't you see that he just wants to put on a show in front of those scholars! ”

"Acting!?"

Zhang Yanling's eyes widened in bewilderment. Although he is good at flattery, he is still not as calm as his brother Zhang Heling in some power calculations.

"It's obvious, so many scholars in front of the Shen Mansion who participated in the township test to deliver the prayer post, if they see the examiner receiving the gift, what will they think?" Zhang Heling asked.

Zhang Yanling thought for a while, and finally came to his senses, nodded and said, "Then the eldest brother still asks people to give gifts?" ”

"It's because my brother is not thoughtful, but it's okay like this, it helps him get his reputation in disguise." Zhang Heling said, "If you have a heart, I guess he will send a message of worship when he turns around, and take the initiative to ask me for guilt." ”

Zhang Yanling sneered: "Will it?" ”

"Will it be irrelevant, such a civil official from Hanlin has his own arrogance, otherwise what would we do to trap him?" Zhang Heling said, "Go back and find someone to send an invitation, so that he can find time to come to the Hou Mansion...... This kid has some scheming, and if he can use it for us, he may really be able to help a lot. ”

Zhang Heling has a high opinion of Shen Xi, and even Shen Xi didn't give face to his brother, but he was wiped by Zhang Heling with a smile.

Zhang Yanling is not so tolerant, he is a person who will repay him, others offend him, he has to be willing to put the other party to death, after all, Zhang's rise has only been more than ten years, he suffered when he was a child, watched his father give gifts to people everywhere, and married his sister to a person who was older than his father as a concubine, leaving an indelible shadow in his young heart.

It was not until with the help of his "brother-in-law" Xu Qiong that his third sister became the crown princess, and the status of the Zhang family rose rapidly.

Over the years, the Zhang brothers have done a lot of things to cheat and abduct, and it is even more common to occupy other people's property, wives and daughters, and even buy and sell officials to steal the grain and grass of the household.

……

……

Zhang Yanling came out of the Shouning Marquis Mansion, and before he got into the sedan chair, a servant came over and said a few words in his ear, and a slight sneer appeared on Zhang Yanling's face.

"Someone into town?" Zhang Yanling asked.

"Yes, sir, waiting for your orders." The minions were very cautious.

Zhang Yanling suddenly found two women from outside the capital, no one knew the identities of the two women, although the servant in charge was curious, but where did he dare to ask?

Zhang Yanling said: "Shen Xi, Shen Xi, didn't you give me the Zhang family's face?" Let you know that I, Zhang Yanling, am not easy to mess with. Convey my order to send the woman who was sent into the city first to the Shen Mansion...... It is the mansion of Shen Zhuangyuan, the right spring fang of Zhan Shifu, remember to send it in from the back door. Don't talk too much, just tell Shen Yude or his family that an old man wants to see him. ”

"Sir, what is this for? If Shen Yude doesn't open his eyes and poke things out......"

"He dares! As long as I send someone to his house for two days, he will politely come to my house and confess the crime...... Hmph, this kid eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dares to rob a woman with the emperor? Ha ha! ”

Zhang Yanling didn't mention how proud he was.

At the very beginning, he devised a conspiracy to frame Shen Xi, although it had been almost a year since the incident, Zhang Yanling asked himself, as long as Shen Xi knew the origin of the woman in the paddock and what the woman did afterwards, Shen Xi would definitely be scared to death, and when the time came, he would naturally beg him and be willing to die for him.

Zhang Yanling is more vicious and extreme than his brother Zhang Heling in some conspiracies.

"What about the other woman, sir?" The servant asked tentatively, what he was thinking was, wouldn't this be sent to the Champion Mansion as well?

Zhang Yanling thought for a while and said, "The other person, don't be in a hurry to deal with it first, arrange to live in another hospital, remember to send someone to take good care of it, no one can go to disturb without my permission." ”

"Yes, sir."

The servant took the order and hurried to comply.

When Zhang Yanling got into the sedan chair, he suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, but he didn't consider the situation on Shen Xi's side, in his eyes, Shen Xi had no choice but to give in, he was thinking about the issue of sending a woman to the emperor...... Because of another woman, it was the minions he sent to the place to search for beautiful women, and he was going to use it to "honor" Zhu Youji.

"The young lady who hasn't left the cabinet is a little troublesome...... If the emperor is a dragon and a great joy, it is really not what I want to be included in the palace. ”

Zhang Yanling sent women to Zhu Youzhi twice before, in order to avoid Emperor Hongzhi from carrying emotional baggage, the gifts were not yellow flower girls, and arranged a more complex background for the two women, so that the emperor's brother-in-law happily tasted it with a curious mentality. Afterwards, Emperor Hongzhi really didn't mention it.

But this time is different, the innocent daughter, it is said that she is still a young lady, if she is sent to the palace, the emperor's brother-in-law likes it, and wants to give her the title of imperial concubine, then he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

"You can't leave my Zhang family behind...... Hmph, isn't it easy to get you out of the cabinet? Zhang Yanling had a cold smile on her face, "As long as you don't let the emperor know, haha, you can't let her know who I am, it's best not to let her know who the emperor is...... That's it! ”
