After Shen Xi arrived in Nanjing City, he lived in the official post near Yingtianfu Ya in the south of the city, and before he went to visit Xie Duo, there were a lot of people who came to visit him first.

The champion of the new department, the Hanlin revision, the right Zhongyun of the Zhan Mansion, the lecturer of the East Palace, the minister of the Qincha, the envoy, and Shen Xi, who has six halos on his back, is not big or small, and he is a celebrity.

There are a lot of "Qin cha" in Nanjing City every year, and the people who come to visit him are mainly because of his status as a six-rank Hanlin official, with the development trend of Shen Xi, he has accumulated a few years in the Zhan Mansion, and when the prince becomes an adult or the prince ascends the throne, he is likely to be the best choice for future cabinet scholars.

After all, among the officials in the East Palace, Shen Xi was the only one who was the same age as the prince.

The gentry were the most philistine, and they saw who had a bright future and would certainly find ways to move around as a political investment.

It takes nothing more than the time to visit and a little gift before you get started, but if you are in a high position in the future, the return on this investment will be several times or even dozens of times.

Favor is the biggest investment!

As soon as Shen Xi settled down at the official post station, someone visited him to give gifts, and he received a lot of gifts, which made Liu Jin, the deputy envoy, angry when he saw it.

You are just a six-rank official, so many people give you gifts, but I am a celebrity in front of the prince, why doesn't anyone think of giving me a gift?

Although Liu Jin was worried that he would lose power and would not even be able to return to the East Palace, he still sneered at Shen Xi angrily: "Shen Zhongyun accepted bribes like this, aren't you afraid that our family will go back and sue you?" ”

People in this world are divided into men and women, and there are eunuchs like Liu Jin, who try not to involve men and women whether he is calling himself or others, and even calls himself "our family".

Shen Xi thought to himself: "I'm going to sue you, I didn't take the initiative to accept these gifts, and I still make a list and wait to report it back." As an emperor, you can't be unreasonable, right? ”

However, to comfort Liu Jin's injured heart, Shen Xi smiled and said, "Father-in-law Liu, how many of these thin gifts do you want to choose?" ”

"Oh!? Are you so kind? Liu Jin still looked righteous and awe-inspiring just now, when he heard that there was a gift to choose from, he immediately changed the color, and he didn't discuss it with Shen Xi, he opened the gift box one by one and looked at it, picked a few valuable ones and took them back to the room, and then closed the door, it should be to appreciate and play.

In the end, he is a eunuch of the East Palace who has no power, in a few years, when the little prince grows up and ascends the throne, you will have the authority in your hands, it will be really amazing.

However, the problem of greed for money should be born with eunuchs, who said that most eunuchs have no children and no daughters? What I can hope for is to be richer in my pocket, and when I am old, I can provide for my old age?

Thinking of this, Shen Xi felt that Liu Jin was actually just a poor person who was limited by the times, and no one would be more upright than Liu Jin in Liu Jin's position...... is so completely bad, you must know that Liu Jin is a traitor, he deserves to be angry and resentful, and everyone knows it.

It can't be immortal, but it wants to be left behind for 10,000 years, otherwise how can you prove that you will live in the world?

As soon as Liu Jin left, Mi Lu walked into the room, and his tone was slightly disdainful: "Lord Shen, you are a dignified lecturer of the Son of Heaven, go to Quanzhou, and after returning to Beijing, you will definitely be added to the official rank, what does that old guy do?" He may be kicked out of the palace when he returns, and now he says that he wants to sue you, and he must have that ability. ”

The people in Honglu Temple are all snobs, Liu Jin didn't give them any benefits on the way, the two officials and the horseman were extremely neglectful to Liu Jin, not to mention serving tea and water to help take care of it, it was good not to make trouble for Liu Jin and Xiao Jiaozi.

Shen Xi smiled and patted Mi Lu's shoulder: "This Gonggong Liu is a powerful person, do you stutter a little more?" That's a big deal! ”

Mi Lu looked disapproving: "I can't fight with him as a eunuch, what are you doing with him?" Lord Shen, I wonder when we will leave Nanjing? I'm here to prepare ...... for you."

Shen Xi saw that Mi Lu looked attentive to him, but he was disdainful of Liu Jin, thinking, Mi Lu, Mi Lu, your attitude towards Liu Jin today may cause you to be killed in the future, don't say that I didn't remind you when the time comes.

Shen Xi was going to stay in Nanjing City for one day and two nights, and when he set off on the morning of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, he asked Mi Lu to go over and say hello to Song Laoyue.

Shen Xi wanted to visit Xie Duo on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, but he was afraid that Xie Duo would not give him face, the last time he came, after all, he was just a person who went to Beijing to catch the exam, but this time Shen Xi was a court official of the sixth grade, Xie Duo never saw visitors during his stay in Nanjing, let alone took the initiative to visit officials.

What a dilemma!

Early in the morning of the seventeenth day, Shen Xi took Song Xiaocheng, brought gifts, and came to the door to "ask for words". Familiar with the way to Xie Duo's mansion, Song Xiaocheng went up and knocked on the door, but he didn't see any movement for a long time, but walked out from next door and said, "This ...... Little official, don't bother Mr. Xie, he doesn't see guests on weekdays. ”

Shen Xi said: "If you don't see guests, you won't even come out to receive them, right?" ”

The neighbor smiled: "There may be no one at Mr. Xie's house at this time, he just came to Nanjing from his hometown to hide from Qingjing...... He has a lot of students, so he may not know which student's house he is in at this time. ”

Shen Xi was helpless when he heard it.

As long as Xie Duo doesn't see guests, the people who come to visit will not dare to break into the courtyard and break into the mansion of a Confucian who is famous all over the world and valued by the emperor, don't you want your reputation?

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Mr. Xie is not only to avoid personal contacts, but also to avoid the call of the imperial court, so let's avoid me by the way...... Didn't he think that I was on an errand and had the responsibility to persuade him to go to the capital? ”

Shen Xi personally went up and knocked on the door, but there was still no one inside, and at this time he was finally sure that Xie Duo was really not at home, so he could only go back to the official post station where he was staying.

As a result, as soon as he entered the gate of the official post station, Mi Lu came over to report: "Lord Shen is back, and Xie Lao has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Shen Xi didn't react for a while, he went to visit Xie Duo, and Xie Duo actually took the initiative to visit? This is better than the last time he passed through Nanjing, Xie Duo sent someone to invite him, and he had to give face!

Shen Xi hurriedly entered the hall, saw Xie Duo sitting leisurely on a chair drinking tea, and hurriedly stepped forward to the junior etiquette: "Student Shen Xi, I have seen Master Xi." ”

Xie Duo looked up, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly got up to help Shen Xi up, and said, "Eh, you can't afford to be so old, get up quickly, get up quickly." ”

Shen Xi raised his head, and saw Xie Duo looking at him with a smile in his eyes, with a little curiosity in his eyes, as if asking, are you sent by the emperor to say something?

Perhaps in Xie Duo's heart, anyone who came from the capital might want to "kidnap" him and enter the capital to become an official.

Shen Xi said: "Teacher Xie has the grace of cultivating students, but it is the students who are negligent, how can Master Xie not be able to afford it?" ”

Xie Duo smiled and said: "Shen Xi, you are now an official in the court, but you are a country person, you and I have very different identities, if you are too respectful to me, I am sorry for this official uniform!" ”

Shen Xi said sincerely: "Today I am visiting Master Xie as a student, and it does not involve the imperial court, so how can I talk about the official uniform on my body?" ”

When Shen Xi said this, he saw a sly smile on Xie Duo's face, and he probably understood...... Xie Duo deliberately led him to say this to prevent him from saying things for the emperor.

Didn't you say that today is a private interaction, then you will only talk about state affairs, let alone let me go to perform the sacrificial wine of the northern eunuch of the country.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi smiled brightly, "Master Xie doesn't want to be a leader, so he will avoid seeing guests more than before, right?" ”

Xie Duo didn't expect Shen Xi to say it so bluntly, he was stunned, and smiled embarrassedly, his face seemed to say, you have found out all this?

Xie Duo said: "Then you tell me honestly, before you came out of the capital, did you see Your Majesty...... Or is it someone else, who asked you to come to the old man to talk about the item? ”

Shen Xi shook his head solemnly and said: "Master Xie doesn't want to be infected by the wind of officialdom, he would rather live a life without quarrel in his hometown, the students admire it tightly, don't say that there is no one in the court to let him say anything, even if there is, the students will not go against the wishes of Master Xie." ”

Xie Duo frowned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's good, it's really a dragon and phoenix among people, with a wide range of knowledge and knowledge." Come on, sit with me, and tell me about your trip to the capital to take the top prize...... In the first year, I heard that the Ministry of Rites would try to solve the problem, and I was worried that you kid would be involved. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, this Xie Duo's attitude has changed too quickly, just now he was a "decrepit" mouthful, pretending to be old and unable to support it, but now he is energetic and calls "me", which can also be seen that in fact, Xie Duo is not sick at all, but he just doesn't want to be an official.

To say that Shen Xi originally made up an "old gentleman", this old gentleman was knowledgeable and taught him at any cost, who is there a person with this temperament in this world?

Xie Duo actually doesn't have much cultivation for Shen Xi, and he is a little reluctant to talk about the grace of knowing each other, but at least the two of them can be regarded as year-old friends, so that they can talk like friends.

Shen Xi roughly talked about the situation of going to Beijing to take the exam in the first year, and also talked about the most controversial "Four Sons Attainments" exam question in the first year of the Ministry of Rites, and discussed it with Xie Duo. Xie Duo sighed: "Tang Yin's later life, although I have not seen it, but I have heard of it somewhat, this son is not low in knowledge and arrogant, let him bribe the examiner to get the question, I categorically don't believe it, maybe he is involved by others." ”

Xie Duo told the truth.

Judging from what Tang Yin did in the future, this is a person with noble aspirations, and even if this case really happens, he doesn't bother to do it. Xie Qian said this, in fact, because the imperial court felt that it was not worth it because of the lack of a promising young man like Tang Yin.

Shen Xi sighed: "Who knows when the deceit of those power struggles in the DPRK and China will fall on their heads?" ”

Xie Duo didn't expect Shen Xi to be able to express such deep emotion at a young age, looked at Shen Xi, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You kid, you have been an official for less than a year, listening to your words, it is like a person who is about to become a man in his twilight years." Don't just say anything I like to talk to in front of me in order to please me......"

Shen Xi said with a smile: "The student doesn't have this intention, I think Mr. Xie is thinking about not going to the court to be an official now, and he is suspicious of others, right?" ”

Xie Duo sighed: "Alas! If it was a few years earlier, it would have been okay to come out and become an official, but now I am already an old bone and want to have a peaceful birthday in a few days...... You young people are different, you must make a difference, don't always follow the negative attitude of our old guys. Besides, you can't learn it. ”
