When Shen Xi returned home and told him that he was going to Beiguan, Xie Yun'er's pretty face immediately showed a bit of resentment...... Since she became pregnant, her attachment to Shen Xi has increased more and more, and she can't bear to be separated for a moment.

"Why did Xianggong suddenly want to travel far away? I don't know how long it has been, so that the concubine is ...... And how worried is Dale? Although Xie Yuner is virtuous and capable, it doesn't mean that she won't hurt people, but many times she doesn't know how to express her emotions, and feels that overly intimate behavior will damage the atmosphere of respect between husband and wife.

But Shen Xi is open-minded, in his eyes, husband and wife are equal, there is no need to deliberately aggrieved around him, and gradually let Xie Yun'er open her heart under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Shen Xi sighed lightly: "Why did you want to go for your husband?" It's just an errand for Qin's order, and he can't shirk it at all. But it is expected that it will not take long to go to Beiguan, and it will not be the same as going to Quanzhou, and it will take four or five months to come and go. ”

"Xianggong ......"

Xie Yun'er wanted to say something, but she stopped talking.

Shen Xi gently hugged her slender waist that had not yet been revealed, and said, "It's a pity that you can't take your family with you when you go out." For my husband to accompany you these days, didn't you let Hong'er and Lu'er sleep with you before, if you feel bored at night, just look for them, or let Dai'er accompany you. ”

Hearing Shen Xi say to let Lin Dai sleep with her, Xie Yun'er gently pushed Shen Xi, with a slight complaint on her face, but when she thought about it again, her pink face instantly turned red.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many wives and concubines they marryed, according to the rules, wives and concubines must sleep in separate rooms, and they must be clearly distinguished from each other. Of course, in the eyes of the royal family and some powerful people, this kind of rule is pure nonsense.

"It's the Xianggong who wants the concubine to sleep with Dai'er, right?" Xie Yun'er complained.

Shen Xi smiled: "It's really what my husband thinks." ”

Xie Yun'er realized that she had a speech problem, and she no longer defended, so as not to be teased by Shen Xi again.

At this moment, Zhu Shan recklessly pushed open the door and came in, and said, "Young Master, someone is looking for you outside the door, and I asked me to hand this over to you." ”

Saying that, Zhu Shan sent a letter of worship, Shen Xi opened it and looked at it, his face sank, and Xie Yun'er asked, "Xianggong, who is here?" ”

"An unwelcome person...... Kochifu's grandson, Gao Chong, do you remember such a person? Shen Xi took the prayer post into his arms and turned his head to ask.

Xie Yun'er thought about it and nodded. At the beginning, Gao Chong went to Lu's pharmacy with a few gentlemen to make trouble, which made her frightened for a long time, of course, she still remembers it vividly. Xie Yun'er asked, "What is he here for?" ”

"It should be related to his grandfather's errand with me going to Beiguan to appease the soldiers, but I didn't expect him to get the news so early."

The imperial court has to send errands, and it is rare to give notice of it a month in advance, and even if there is such a plan, it must be said when it is time to leave, this is to prevent the person sent on the business trip from having any ideas and abandoning his job, or temporarily changing the person, and there will be unnecessary trouble when adjusting.

Shen Xi didn't have any specific errands now, Xie Qian told him that it was nothing earlier, but Gao Mingcheng, as a household servant, could be regarded as an important minister, but he was able to get the news so early, most of them were the same as him, not from the imperial decree, but from the mouths of people who had a way, and the relatives of the Zhang family were the most suspicious.

Shen Xi appeased his wife, tidied up his clothes and came out of the inner courtyard, and went out of the courtyard gate without stopping, and asked Zhu Shan to close the courtyard door when he went out, because he was not ready to invite Gao Chong into his house.

Since Gao Chong arrived in the capital, he has lost the previous squirrel, but has shown a bit of maturity and stability, and after seeing Shen Xi, he is even more humble and saluted, greeting: "Student Gao Chong, I have seen Shen Hanlin." ”

The academic officer of the Hanlin Academy, nominally the gentleman of all the prisoners of the Guozijian, Gao Chong is now studying in the Guozijian, and in order to show respect in front of Shen Xi, he must call himself a student.

In fact, no matter whether there is fame or not in the world, as long as a scholar who is not an official, he can call himself a student when he sees a Hanlin official like Shen Xi.

"Mr. Gao is polite, I got Mr. Gao's help outside the wine store last time, and I didn't have time to thank you."

Gao Chong was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the events of that day, but he still hadn't found out who was going to kidnap him. However, his grandfather Gao Mingcheng analyzed that it was likely to be the Three Law Divisions, or the people of the factory guards, which was a small move made by the imperial court to secretly track down his corruption and bend the law.

Gao Chong hurriedly said: "If it weren't for Shen Han Lincoln's advice for the ancestors, the ancestors might have suffered now, and it should be the students who thank you for your great kindness." ”

Gao Chong's politeness was a little excessive, which made Shen Xi not very comfortable for a while.

is still the previous image of the arrogant and domineering man who can almost be regarded as a "clean street tiger", which is more in line with his noble memory. Shen Xi thought to himself: "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, what are you pretending to be serious in front of me?" Now you are a man with your tail between your legs, but it is because your grandfather was controlled everywhere after he arrived in the capital, and now he is working as a squire in the household department but does not have real power...... If your grandfather gains power in the future, you will surely reveal your true nature! ”

Shen Xi shook his head and said, "Thank you, there's no need, if Gongzi Gao has nothing to do, please go back, there is still business to do." ”

Gao Chong said with a smile: "The student is here for Shen Hanlin's official business, and the ancestor got the news that Shen Hanlin will accompany him to Beiguan to appease him, and he wants the student to convey some words on his behalf." ”

After Gao Mingcheng defected to the Zhang brothers, although he no longer had to worry about his life at the moment, and the officials were doing well, he was the target of the public after all, and he didn't dare to get too close to other officials at all, so as not to be involved.

In this case, Gao Mingcheng can only send his grandson Gao Chong out to dredge everywhere instead of him, although Gao Chong is only in name in the country, but this gives him a certain social status, and it will be much more convenient to walk around the capital to visit anyone.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Gao Mingcheng wouldn't be the one who wanted to appease the money and grain, and was ready to give a gift and take me into the water together, right?" ”

With this thought, Shen Xi was taken aback...... You, Gaoming City, have been targeted by the people of the household department and the factory guard for a long time, and now you dare to commit crimes against the wind?

Even if you have the Zhang brothers to support you, if you do it so blatantly, you are looking for death!

"I haven't heard about this yet, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Gao and go back." Shen Xi said with a respectful and distant attitude.

Gao Chong smiled: "It's okay if Shen Hanlin doesn't know, this matter is news from the Shouning Marquis Mansion, there should be no mistake if you are ten out of ten...... Since it is the emperor's errand, it has to be done well, and the ancestor has something to say before setting off to communicate with Shen Hanlin......"

Shen Xi thought about it, and finally nodded, he also wanted to see what tricks Gao Mingcheng was going to play.

This money and grain was used by Emperor Hongzhi to appease the soldiers of Beiguan, and it was easy to move. But Shen Xi thought about it carefully, even if Gao Mingcheng didn't have that idea, maybe the Zhang brothers would put pressure on him and encourage him to be greedy.

In this year, a group of capable ministers such as Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia returned to the dynasty and severely suppressed the Zhang brothers, so that in addition to relying on land rent, real estate in the capital, and business income to fill the family, the Zhang brothers could only rely on bribes to enrich their pockets on weekdays.

Gao Mingcheng became the lackey of the Zhang brothers, and now he has such a good opportunity to bend the law for bribes, and when he goes out of the capital to Beiguan, he can fill his own pocket with the silver...... You must know that the money and food issued in place of the Son of Heaven are not average according to the head, but will always be different according to the position of the general, the size of the official rank and the geographical location of the town, which can be large or small, and it is impossible for Emperor Hongzhi to recollect the money and grain issued to all the soldiers.

Even if someone participates in the performance, no strong evidence will be found.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "I can't let Gao Mingcheng come, otherwise I won't be his accomplice?" ”

Gao Chong's visit to the house this time was obviously prepared, and he specially prepared an official sedan chair for Shen Xi.

But Shen Xi was a little uneasy, it was hard to guarantee that this was not Gao Mingcheng who found out that the kidnapping was boring, and asked Gao Chong to play a play and wait for revenge.

"Gao Gongzi said a place, I will go back and clean up next, and I will go." Shen Xi said euphemistically.

Gao Chong said: "Then how about the wine shop last time?" Where will the student union hold a banquet......

Shen Xi nodded and asked Gao Mingcheng to leave first, but he stopped where he was and didn't go home...... He was thinking about a question, should he inform Yu Niang of this, or Xie Qian?

Notifying Yu Niang means notifying Liu Daxia...... Gao Mingcheng can be regarded as Liu Daxia's subordinate, and it is very convenient for Liu Daxia to intervene. As for Xie Qian, it was this scholar who recommended himself to Emperor Hongzhi about this errand and informed him, so that even if something happened, it would not be up to him.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Xi felt that he was purely digging a hole for himself...... Xie Qian and Liu Daxia said that they would protect him, but on some key issues, they wanted to use him more, especially Xie Qian.

In fact, when Xie Qian sent him to do this errand, he should have expected that Gao Mingcheng would be corrupt and bend the law, and deliberately gave him this problem to see how he would "solve", which was a disguised test. And Liu Daxia, Shen Xi didn't believe that this scheming Hubu Shangshu would not make a move, at least he would let Yu Niang follow him, in addition to supervising him, in fact, he was also looking for an opportunity to monitor Gaoming City's movements.

So he doesn't have to take the initiative to look for it, Yu Niang will definitely find it by herself.

Before Shen Xi went to the appointment, he brought a few brothers from the chariot and horse gang, how can he now be an official of the court from Wupin, and he has to go out a little pompously, although there is no front and back to open the road, but if something happens, he can't be as isolated as the ordinary people. But finding a few gangsters to go out with him, it was a bit of a discount, and he decided to go back and prepare uniform clothes for these entourages, and when he went out, they were all his servants of Shen Da Zhuangyuan.

When he arrived at the rendezvous restaurant, Shen Xi found that there was no guest in the restaurant, only Gao Chong and Li Yu were waiting downstairs.

Li Yu and Gao Chong got close, which Shen Xi knew when he first met Gao Chong in the capital. The Li family has never had much contact with the people in the court, and Li Yu's friendship with Gao Chong is somewhat incomprehensible to Shen Xi...... Is this the Li family's desire to cling to the powerful, or is it out of Li Yu's personal relationship with Gao Chong?

Attaching to a household servant who has a lot of criticism in the court, and may even lose his official position and go to prison at any time, the head of the Li family should not be so unwise.

On the second floor, as soon as Shen Xi sat down, Gao Chong pushed a brocade box forward and said with a smile: "Let's talk about my heart." ”

Shen Xi pushed him back without even looking at it, and said, "The cliché thing is exempt, and in the next one, I have always believed in merit and merit." ”

Gao Chong smiled slightly, as if he had long expected that Shen Xi would not accept the gift, although he did not force it again, he did not take back the brocade box, and let the brocade box be placed on the table.

Gao Chongdao: "The ancestors have a deep relationship with Shen Hanlin, when he knew the Tingzhou Mansion, Shen Hanlin was still taking the children's exam, and in a blink of an eye, the head of the case was already the champion, and he entered the Hanlin Academy, and now he is a lecturer in the East Palace......

This is the old routine of climbing friendship!

Let's talk about the previous origins first, and then talk about today's scenery, sure enough, Gao Chong later mentioned that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to send Shen Xi to cooperate with Gao Mingcheng on an errand.

“…… The meaning of the ancestor is that it is an old friend, and it is best for everyone to take care of each other on the road, Shen Hanlin, don't misunderstand, in fact, the ancestor is old and in poor health, so he needs more help from you. ”

Shen Xi nodded and said, "It's easy to say." ”

Gao Chong thought to himself, how easy it was to say it? But after thinking about it carefully, the "help" he said may be different from what Shen Xi understood, and he hurriedly added: "The ancestor just got the news that someone wants to disadvantage the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce led by Shen Hanlin's relatives...... It is reported that it is the person who is the political envoy of Fujian Chengxuan......"

"What did you say?" Shen Xi was full of excitement, and Huo Ran stood up.

Gao Chong hurriedly confessed: "Shen Hanlin, don't misunderstand, my ancestor has sent someone to Fujian, I hope to notify the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible to prevent it, but I'm afraid it's too late." ”
