On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Xi took Ning'er to Xie Mansion.

Xie Duo knew yesterday that Shen Xi was not a lobbyist sent by Emperor Hongzhi, so there was no need to hide, I heard that Shen Xi was coming, so he let him enter the mansion, but when Shen Xi explained his intention, Xie Duo couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and asked: "Shen Xi, why don't you understand what you mean?" ”

What's not to understand about this!?

Seeing that you are lonely and lonely, and there is no one to take care of you around, I will now send your fans to accompany you, in addition to taking care of you, I can also talk to you, as the saying goes, men and women are not tired of working together, whether you are a maid or not, you will accept her as a concubine in the future, or send her out to marry, it is up to you to decide.

Xie Duo didn't understand, his heart was loud, he just deliberately emphasized "old decay", just to tell Shen Xi that your proposal is too ridiculous.

Shen Xi said: "Thank you, the student is also a helpless request." The student has the emperor's order, and it is inconvenient to go to Quanzhou to do it, and it is inconvenient to bring her with her female dependents, and the student has no way to send her elsewhere, so she can only stay here with Xie Shi...... When the student does a filial piety of the younger generation, let her take care of the teacher on behalf of the student. ”

Shen Xi knew that with normal methods, Xie Duo would definitely not agree, so he had to move the emperor out to talk about things, but he selectively ignored the fact that there were still female dependents in his line...... There is not only Ning'er in front of her, but also Lin Dai, but also Yu Niang and her two "daughters".

Xie Duo's face was difficult: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to help you, it's really a matter of ...... The old man can't do anything, there are no female dependents in this courtyard, and it is inconvenient for her to stay. ”

Ning Er stood at the door, knelt down with a "poof", and cried: "Old man, the slave and maid admired you very much when they were young, and many of your legendary stories are familiar to the slave and maid, and relatives and neighbors are also proud to tell your story. As long as you keep the slave and maid by your side, the slave and maid will serve you wholeheartedly. ”

Maybe it's because Xie Duo can't see a woman crying, and when he sees Ning'er like this, he is very embarrassed, and it is a favor to agree, and it makes sense not to agree.

Shen Xi said: "Master Xie, do you want to agree, let's just discuss the matter of you going to the capital to serve as the prince of the country......

Xie Duo couldn't cry or laugh: "Shen Xi, what are you messing around?" ”

In a word, the originally awkward and tense atmosphere was relieved. Shen Xi said with a smile: "Master Xie, it's not that the student has to give you a problem, this maid is from Jiangnan, she was sold to Lingnan when she was young, and she was transferred to my Shen family to do things, she has been diligent and diligent all these years, and she only hopes to return to her hometown one day." ”

"Now that she has got what she wants, she naturally doesn't want to go around with her students, so you might as well keep her by your side, and if she doesn't take good care of her, or if you don't like it, you can just marry her off...... Back to her, she can still help the house. ”

What Shen Xi means is that I give people to you, not to let your old cow gnaw tender grass, but to do my best to be a junior and find someone to take care of you.

Even if you marry someone, she can still serve you, but at that time, she will not be as a maid in the house, but an old mother.

Xie Duo thought for a while, and finally sighed: "In this case, let her stay, in a few years, I will find a chance to marry her!" ”

"Thank you, sir." Ning Er cried and kowtowed to Xie Duo.

Shen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xie Duo finally agreed.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Ning'er, Ning'er, that's all I can help you with, as for whether you stay by Xie Duo's side to accompany him to the end of his life in the future, or marry out and become a wife, it depends on your creation." Over the years, you have taken care of me, and I am worthy of you. ”

As the old master, Shen Xi still didn't forget to remind Ning'er of a few sentences: "Ning'er, leaving you by Master Xie's side is to let you take good care of Master Xie's daily life, and you must not trespass, let alone tarnish the name of Xie Mansion, do you understand?" ”

"Slave and maid remember the words of the master." Ning'er kept kowtowing to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi nodded, in fact, he had some support for the fact that Liu Ning'er was by Xie Duo's side, no matter whether she had a scheming in this matter or not, at least with a woman to take care of her, Xie Duo said that she might not be able to live a few more years. In addition, being by the side of a Hongru and being a childhood idol at the same time has some influence on Ning'er's personality, and may allow her to get rid of her previous bad problems.

Shen Xi got up to leave, and by the way, he turned around and sent the deed of sale to Xie Duo.

Xie Duo didn't care much about this, because he left Ning'er to fulfill Shen Xi's intentions, and at the same time let such a girl who admired him have the opportunity to marry a good family in the future.

……

……

By the time Shen Xi returned to the official post, the carriage had been waiting for some time.

Liu Jin waited for Shen Xi, and said impatiently: "Shen Zhongyun, you are such a big shelf, let us wait for you?" Do you know that now you are on the emperor's errand, and you can afford to wait for the delay? ”

For this, no one spoke out to support Liu Jin. Because Shen Xi is the right envoy, Shen Xi should have the final say in everything.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Gonggong Liu doesn't have to worry too much, this land south of the Yangtze River is quite peaceful, and there is no need to worry about flash floods in winter, and it will arrive before the deadline." ”

Liu Jin threw up his sleeves angrily and climbed into the carriage, because the coachman never moved a horse stool for him, and the little twister was clumsy, Liu Jin was used to this kind of climbing action, with his age and skills, it was a little difficult to even get into the car, and every time he got on the car, it looked particularly funny, which made Mi Lu and others laugh when they saw it.

Before Shen Xi got into the carriage, Lin Dai asked strangely, "What about Ning'er?" ”

Shen Xi said: "I will leave her in Nanjing for the time being, and I will pick her up when we return to the capital." ”

"Oh."

Lin Dai didn't ask anything more, but frowned and muttered, "Then I was the only one who came to wash the clothes." ”

Shen Xi hooked her straight nose and said with a smile: "Little lazy, you can wash yourself in the future, not to mention that you don't bother to wash your own things, what's the use of marrying such a wife home?" ”

Lin Dai was a little embarrassed by Shen Xi's intimacy, but when she heard the latter words, she couldn't help wrinkling her nose: "Who said that I was going to marry you, don't be ashamed!" ”

But Mei Zizi stepped on the stool and got into the carriage.

Without Ning'er squeezing with her, the space in the carriage is larger, and she can still let Shen Xi come over to accompany her when she turns around, and she feels happy when she thinks about it, as for the little thing of no one serving tea and water to her, it doesn't matter.

"It's good that this light bulb isn't there."

Lin Dai thought about things with a smile, and soon she thought of another question, "Light bulb...... What the hell is it? He said that when you press it, it will glow, like a pearl of the night, if only I had a light bulb......"

……

……

The group continued southbound.

From Nanjing to Jiangshan County, Quzhou Prefecture in western Zhejiang, it is basically by boat, but then it is a boat and car transfer when it crosses the Xianxia Ridge and enters Fujian.

Northern Fujian is full of mountains and ravines, and there are many rivers and bridges.

When he arrived in Jianning, because he was not very familiar with the next road conditions, Shen Xi specially invited a guide, after all, going back to Tingzhou and going to Quanzhou are not the same road, and Shen Xi never wanted to happen again after the scene experienced on the way home from the township test.

When Shen Xi was passing through Yanping Mansion, he happened to see the branch of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, so he went in and wrote a letter to his family, roughly estimating the time to return to Tingzhou, which would be at the end of February if it was early, and mid-March if it was late...... Xie Qian's deadline was that he must arrive in Quanzhou by February 15 and return to Beijing by the end of May. He had to travel in April and May, so he had to leave for Beijing before the end of March.

Shen Xi must hurry up, because when he returns to Tingzhou this time, he is not only a provincial relative, but also goes back to worship the ancestral tomb, meet with the magistrate, build the champion archway, and more importantly, complete the marriage with Lin Dai.

It was not so easy to get in touch with the Portuguese, and Shen Xi was afraid that this would delay him, so that he would not have much time to stay in Tingzhou.

In the Central Plains and the northern and southern capitals, Liu Jin rarely spoke, but after arriving in Fujian, perhaps because he felt that the emperor was far away, he complained a lot, and yelled at the little twister every day.

Among these people, the only thing Liu Jin can control is the poor little eunuch, as long as the little twister does not do well, he will be scolded to death by Liu Jin, and occasionally he will beat him, and even often live in the official post, and he will hear the little twister being arranged to do things in the middle of the night.

Poor man, Shen Xi couldn't come forward to help the little eunuch. He thought of Shen Mingyou, who was in the palace, and thought that the second uncle, a person who had married a wife and had children, but did that cheap errand in the palace, which was neither male nor female, would definitely not want to face his family in the future, but this time he went home to save his relatives, wouldn't he explain this matter to the Shen family?

But even if it is said, it is limited to the Shen family, and there are not too many people who know it, at least the long-tongued woman Wang family can't know, as for the second aunt Qian's side......

Shen Xi was very entangled, in the end, Qian and Shen Ming were husband and wife, could they not tell his wife about this kind of thing?

The line was quite smooth, and Shenxi basically did not stop in other places, but he was ready to rest in Fuzhou for a day, after all, after arriving in Fujian, there were Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce branches along the way, especially the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce in Fuzhou Province.

After Song Xi'er's power was cleared, Fang Guan was later transferred from Fujian to Nanjing to serve as the governor, nominally upward, but in fact he lost real power.

At present, the major forces in Fuzhou City are fighting against each other, and there is no longer the previous situation of one dominance.

With Shen Xi's proper plan and the efforts of Ma Jiu and others, the Fuzhou Branch of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has become the largest commercial organization in Fuzhou.

This time, Shenxi passed through Fuzhou and prepared to transfer people from the Fuzhou Carriage and Horse Gang to Quanzhou together.

Although Shen Xi is going to negotiate with the Portuguese, it is always good to be prepared for some things, whether it is to deliver news or run errands, Shen Xi needs manpower, the more people there are, the easier it is to do this trip, but Shen Xi has not seen Ma Jiu for more than a year, I wonder if Ma Jiu is still obedient to him as before?

I'm afraid that some people are used to being the sole leader outside, and they will no longer easily obey others.

Song Xiaocheng has been staying in Tingzhou Mansion City, which is fine, but Ma Jiu is alone, and what he does in Fuzhou City is a business of fighting and killing, it is difficult to say that he has maintained the simple heart before.

But when Shen Xi arrived in Fuzhou and saw Ma Jiu in the branch of the Chamber of Commerce, Ma Jiu still looked respectful to him, and kowtowed to him when he came up: "The villain has seen the champion!" ”

Not out of respect for a young proprietor of a chamber of commerce, but out of fear of being an official.

It's only been a little over a year, and Ma Jiu seems to be a different person, full of murderous energy, and a scar on his cheek is shocking.
