When the Zhou family learned that Xie Qian's official residence was from Yipin, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth...... Although she has a limited understanding of the rank of court officials, she also knows that Yipin is the biggest official, and as for Congyipin, although it is not the top, it is also very high. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Then how can this Xie Ge Lao be willing to marry his granddaughter into the door? If you have a hidden disease, it's either ...... What was there that wasn't clean before? Zhou began to mumble.

Shen Xi thought to himself, the old lady is also about to be a demon, and there is no reciprocal communication with her like Hui Niang in life, which makes Zhou's mouth almost rusty.

Shen Xi said: "Mother, Miss Xie is innocent, and she has known her child before, and she is a girl with a blue heart." ”

Zhou muttered: "This is not accurate, the dignified old from Yipin Pavilion will marry his granddaughter to you as a concubine, if there is no problem, how can it be?" Han Wa'er, you have to think carefully before marrying someone back, don't regret it after marrying back. ”

In this regard, Shen Xi was very speechless.

But in the end, the Zhou family still agreed: "Since she is the granddaughter of the Ge family, she should marry or marry, and in the future, you will call that Xie Ge Lao a grandfather, and then we will have someone to help in the court in the future...... Xianggong, do you say it's good? ”

Shen Mingjun only remembered that he was the head of the family at this time, and nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Okay, okay, the lady has the final say." ”

As a result, the communication of marrying Xie Hengnu was completed, except for a little opinion from Lin Dai's side, there were no twists and turns in other links.

found a matchmaker to go to Xie Fu Nacai, everything went well, and the marriage was decided after only one meeting. Shen Xi sent the marriage letter over, although he was not in a hurry to get married, but Xie Hengnu was already a bride to be married...... In this era, the marriage certificate has absolute legal effect, and it is not that it can be reversed casually, and even Xie Qian does not dare to joke about the reputation of the Xie family.

After the engagement letter, Xie Qian specially asked someone to prepare a banquet to entertain his prospective grandson-in-law Shen Xi.

said that it was a banquet, but in fact, there were only two side dishes, and the wine was placed, and in addition to Xie Qian, Shen Xi was the banquet, and the two of them belonged to the "grandfather and grandson" who sat down to drink.

"It's good to get married, so that it will be much easier for you to enter and leave the house in the future, see who dares to make irresponsible ......" Xie Qian drank two cups of yellow soup and talked more.

Shen Xi thought to himself, that is, there were a lot of gossips before?

Gossip, mostly those who covet Xie Qian's status and fame in the court, Xie Qian used to be in a high position but his ability was relatively average, in the past two years, Xie Qian faintly replaced Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Xie Qian was the sole provocation of the cabinet beam.

If you don't attract envy, you are a mediocre talent, and others will be jealous of Xie Qian, and there will be some speculation, including speculation about the purpose of Shen Xi's visit to Xie Mansion.

Shen Xi said: "Elder Ge, the wedding date is set for late autumn or next year, what do you think?" ”

"The marriage date is not in a hurry, is there one less beautiful wife and concubine in your kid's family?" Xie Qian glared at Shen Xi and said, "Let the old man enjoy the joy of his children and grandchildren around his knees for a while!" ”

Shen Xi wanted to scold a little, he was in a hurry to give his granddaughter to me before, but now it's good, the marriage is engaged, but you are not in a hurry to marry your granddaughter. I obviously want to trap me with my granddaughter, not really want your granddaughter to be happy.

"Elder Ge, can you let the students meet Miss Xie?" Shen Xi asked.

"See what? Before you get married, it's better not to meet, you don't even know the rules, I really don't know how you got the top prize! You eat first, the old man has something to do when he goes out! ”

Xie Qian was comforted, drank two more glasses, and when he stood up, his body shook a little, Shen Xi wanted to go over to help, but Xie Qian still didn't let him. Shen Xi shook his head helplessly, what was the matter, it was obvious that he had drunk too much and wanted to be complimentary.

To die is to save face and suffer crimes, what he is talking about is an old stubborn like Xie Qian.

Just thinking about his thoughts, he suddenly saw a small head poking out from behind the hall door, it was Xie Hengnu who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Jun'er?"

Shen Xi smiled and beckoned.

Xie Hengnu walked over with a smile, knelt on the mat, and leaned next to Shen Xi. I was extremely happy when I saw Shen Xi just now, and I was already shyly lowering my head at this moment.

"Seventh brother, Jun'er pours you wine." Xie Hengnu stretched out his soft water, obediently poured wine for Shen Xi, held the wine glass in both hands, and sent it to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi smiled: "Jun'er has worked hard, do you want to come a little?" ”

Xie Hengnu shook his head and said, "Girls can't drink." ”

Shen Xi smiled and drank all the wine that the beautiful woman had brought over.

Xie Hengnu was about to pour a cup, but Shen Xi pressed her slender hand, Xie Hengnu's little face turned red, and he was held by his sweetheart, he was shy and liked it, and he didn't withdraw his hand.

"Our marriage is decided, will you marry me?" Shen Xi asked with a smile.

"Hmm."

Xie Hengnu nodded sheepishly.

"In some time, I will send someone to marry you officially." Shen Xi Road.

Xie Hengnu raised his head slightly, looked at Shen Xi with affection and said, "Seventh brother, you must be faster, Jun'er is waiting to be your little lady......"

What an innocent little girl who is just beginning to fall in love!

The more Shen Xi looked at it, the more he liked it, Xie Hengnu and Yin Wen's personalities were somewhat similar, they both lived in a relatively closed world, and the most beautiful thing in their hearts was the relationship with Shen Xi.

But Xie Hengnu is more lively and cheerful than Yin Wen, Yin Wen is an introverted and not good at expressing herself.

It has to do with the environment in which they live.

"Ahem."

There was an old voice behind him that was very out of tune.

Xie Hengnu looked sideways, and when he saw Xie Qian's old face, he quickly withdrew his hand and stood up, stepped on thin steps, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the inner hall with his skirt.

Shen Xi thought that Xie Qian would count him down again when he sat down, and scolded Xie Hengnu by the way, but after Xie Qian sat down, he didn't say a word about what he saw just now.

From this point of view, Xie Qian is not an old antique, at least with some of the enlightenment of the times, knowing that he is too old to disturb the world of young people.

……

……

In the second half of the first month of the fifteenth year of Hongji, as the temperature rises, the earth begins to have a hint of green, and the early spring arrives, and the capital is unprecedentedly lively.

The Tatars did not stop fighting, there was no time to invade the south, and the wind and waves were calm everywhere in Beiguan, and the people had a rare and stable year, and their lives gradually stabilized.

There are gradually more businessmen around the capital, and this year is the trial year, from the end of the year, the inns in the capital are overcrowded, the atmosphere of learning is quite strong, and various literary meetings and pen clubs emerge in endlessly.

The students will also invite some celebrities to participate and give some polishing pens, among which the officials from Hanlin are the most popular, even if they are just a Jishi, when they come to these literary meetings, they can eat and drink for nothing, and take one or two taels of silver back by the way.

As the chief examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination in the 14th year of Hongzhi, Shen Xi received countless invitations to the Wenhui, most of which were invitations from students from Shuntianfu and all over Jiangnan.

But Shen Xi avoided all of them, not that he deliberately put on a show, but he didn't want to make too much publicity.

In the first class of the first month of Shen Xi, the matter of telling the prince about the change of the civil fort came to an end for the time being, and in the case of Wang Wei, Liang Chu and others interceding for him, Emperor Hongzhi did not delve into it, and did not even reprimand him, but only conveyed several requirements to the officials of the East Palace through Wu Kuan, one of which was not related to the history and politics of the country.

This requirement is mainly aimed at Shen Xi, because what Shen Xi teaches is the history of the Twenty-first Period, and even if others occasionally mention the characters of the Ming Dynasty, they are all Confucian and famous ministers.

As for not being involved in the history and politics of the country, it is also selective.

In general, the places that the Ming Dynasty did well can be brought forward, and those smeared places you should not know, and as for the lack of the royal family, don't even mention it.

The chief examiner of the examination of the Ministry of Rites in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi has not been announced by the imperial court for a long time. However, the current voices are the highest are Wu Kuan and Wang Wei, as for Liang Chu, Li Jie, Jiao Fang and others, it is also possible, but even Wu Kuan and Wang Wei lack the absolute authority in the academic field like Cheng Minzheng at the beginning.

There are even rumors that Shen Xi will become the chief examiner of this examination, as for the reason is not how high Shen Xi's knowledge is, but referring to Emperor Hongzhi to let Shen Xi take the Shuntianfu Township Examination and praise him lavishly, thinking that Emperor Hongzhi took advantage of the prince's young age and wanted to reuse and promote a group of young and promising officials to prepare for the prince's accession to the throne when he became an adult in the future.

Therefore, there are also rumors that this session of the Ministry of Rites will try young people who will have a better chance of being a junior sergeant, and they will be more reused in the future.

Everything is a reference to Shen Xi's rapid rise in the past three years.

Before the 12th year of Hongzhi, many people could guess that the examiner of the examination was Cheng Minzheng, but before the 15th year of Hongzhi, the identity of the examiner had always been a mystery, and there were many discussions among the court and folk scholars.

Shen Xi understood that if it weren't for Cheng Minzheng's involvement in the case, in the past three years, he might have been ranked as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites or a member of the Cabinet, because Emperor Hongzhi has always trusted Cheng Minzheng's ability.

The examination will officially start on the ninth day of February, and the candidates for the examiner will be announced around the end of January and the beginning of February.

The difference with the main examination is that the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites does not need to be locked up in the Tribute Academy for a month, because the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites is usually a member of the imperial court and has other errands.

Just like Li Dongyang, who served as the chief examiner in the last session, he only stayed in the Gongyuan for a few days from the time the question was written to the beginning of the exam, and he took care of himself the rest of the time, and he could even go to the court and return home every day, and he would not be affected too much.

In the first month, Liu Jian was relieved of his sick leave and returned to the court, and then Li Dongyang also returned to the cabinet after his son's funeral, and Xie Qian changed from the temporary first assistant to the third person in the cabinet.

As Xie Qian expected, Emperor Hongzhi was the first person to determine the candidate for the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites this time, and the time announced to the public was on the twenty-ninth day of the first month.

The day after Xie Qian was confirmed as the chief examiner, the emperor appointed another candidate for the chief examiner...... Hanlin bachelor Liang Chu.

Xie Qian's appointment as the chief examiner was reasonable, but it was also unexpected by some people, but it was Liang Chu's speculation that he was closer to the student.

Since the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites examination is a combination of a university scholar and a Hanlin bachelor, it basically maintains the tradition of Hongzhi's 12-year examination, and the main questions and marking work will be completed by Liang Chu, as for Xie Qian, he is in the name of the examiner and is responsible for supervision.
