If Shen Xi knew that most of his exam questions were used in the exam questions of this year's conference, I am afraid that he would vomit three liters of blood, and then let out a sad ...... Xie Lao'er, you are so shameless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Qian used Shen Xi's exam questions to get the praise of Emperor Hongzhi, and he was beaming with pride. Originally, Xie Qian felt that marrying his granddaughter to Shen Xi as a concubine was a deal that he couldn't lose anymore, but after this incident, he found that this deal was not only not a loss, but also a profit.

In a blink of an eye, the exam will start in February, and this matter has nothing to do with Shen Xi, but after Shen Xi learned about the exam questions, his mood can only be described as ups and downs.

The government and the opposition are paying attention to this test, but Shen Xi still maintains a three-point and three-line life, at home, in the palace and in the courtyard of the outer house.

After getting along for half a year, the relationship between Shen Xi and Hui Niang has improved a lot.

At the beginning of the year, Hui Niang was unwell, which once made Shen Xi think she was pregnant, and only after inviting a doctor to diagnose it did she know that she had a false alarm, Hui Niang's body was weak, and she liked to think crankily, which caused her body to be out of balance, and after taking a few medicines, her body was adjusted, and menstrual affairs became normal again.

“…… Are you bored and looking for something to do? Shen Xi came over this day, picked up the embroidery that Hui Niang put there on the bedside, and asked.

Hui Niang shook her head.

She didn't say no, but she was confused and didn't know how to answer.

The previous property was all confiscated, although Shen Xi's income was not high, but he did not treat Hui Niang badly at all, and he gave a lot of silver on weekdays, which was enough to make her worry about food and clothing.

And Hui Niang just stored the silver given by Shen Xi, and completely relied on her own efforts to support herself, and even every time Shen Xi came over, the food and drink was completely the money that Hui Niang earned for embroidery.

According to Shen Xi's understanding, Hui Niang didn't want to rely on him for everything. When Shen Xi stayed overnight before, Hui Niang suddenly said "I will pay you back sooner or later" after the joy of fish and water, which made Shen Xi feel that Hui Niang was paying off her debts, and wanted to use this way of doing embroidery to save money, pay back the money that was redeemed at the beginning, and then return to freedom.

This made Shen Xi very depressed...... Did I risk my life to get you out just to make you feel indebted to me and commit yourself to me?

We are separated now, and one day you will leave me without mercy?

If you are destined to lose, it is better not to have it in the first place.

In the face of such a stubborn Hui Niang, what Shen Xi can do is to continue to soften her heart, judging from the current effect, Hui Niang is indeed very moved, every time she comes to pester, she is more obsessed with him, but there is never a feeling of love between husband and wife.

"If you feel uncomfortable in the capital, I can find a way to send you back to your ancestral hometown in Jiangxi, or to Tingzhou Mansion." Shen Xi Road.

"Nope."

Hui Niang shook her head firmly, "The concubine is not going anywhere." ”

Shen Xi asked, "Do you want to continue doing business?" ”

Hui Niang still shook her head.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "If you want to, just say it." Actually, I'm not against you doing business, the previous things have passed, even if you go back to the old business, it is not the right place to go back to the capital, and you may have to go elsewhere to make a comeback. Although I don't have much money in my hands now, I have the skills and brains that others don't have. With that, it won't be long before you'll be rich again......"

"Rich in the world?"

Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi in a daze, as if she was thinking about what would happen to this day, "So what, in the end, it's not a word from the government that can make people bankrupt?" ”

Shen Xi said: "But what if one day, what if I am an official enough to protect you?" ”

Hui Niang was at a loss for a moment.

Obviously, she had thought about this since she moved her business to the capital. To do business, of course, the government needs to be a backer, and the only official she knows is Shen Xi. Now it seems that Shen Xi's officials are getting bigger and bigger, and after the prince becomes an adult, Shen Xi's position in the court will be more consolidated.

"No need."

Hui Niang still shook her head, "The concubine doesn't dare to have delusions, serving the master is ......"

Shen Xi leaned over, lifted Hui Niang's chin, and whispered: "Hui Niang, why do you always treat yourself as a slave?" In fact, in the beginning, I just wanted you to stay by my side with peace of mind, and I would support you no matter what you did, but you also had to respect me and listen to my opinions, so ...... We can be like real couples. ”

After Shen Xi let go of her hand, Hui Niang naturally lowered her head, she never even dared to take the initiative to stare at Shen Xi, even when she needed Shen Xi's care the most.

"I'll take care of the business."

Shen Xi said, "I will lay a good foundation for you to take over." Don't worry, there will be no people who know you in your future life circle, and you will use your new identity to take care of business...... Maybe this day won't be too long, according to the plan, it is estimated that there will be two or three years. ”

Shen Xi did not intend to give up his business empire, but now that the imperial court was short of money and food, and there was a lot of plundering of merchants, Shen Xi wanted to take advantage of the change of throne in the last years of Hongzhi to redevelop commerce.

He doesn't have many resources at hand now, but he has mature experience and helpers who can come in handy, one is Hui Niang, and the other is Li Jin.

In addition, there are still Song Xiaocheng, Ma Jiu and others, he will not put all his chips in one place, if he wants to redevelop business, he must distinguish business according to different systems and expand in their respective directions.

"Why wait?" Hui Niang asked curiously.

"Because, it's not yet time for you to come back out of the mountain."

Shen Xi stroked Hui Niang's cheek, "I hope that after you give birth to children for me, you will be ...... at that time will be completely mine. ”

The room was instantly quiet.

Hui Niang didn't speak, what Shen Xi said really shocked her.

Serving Shen Xi for life, Hui Niang can accept it, but giving birth to children for Shen Xi is something that Hui Niang rejects in her heart. But with her identity, there is no way to refuse, she can only remind herself all the time that I am just a slave bought by the master, and I have no right to choose whether I will have children in the future, and I am already dead.

Shen Xi constantly stimulated her with some things that were beyond Hui Niang's acceptance, making her go from resistance to compromise, from acquiescence to acceptance.

Shen Xi didn't dare to expect Hui Niang to enjoy his current status, if Hui Niang was happy to be his wife, he would look down on her, it was not the self-reliant woman he liked.

Shen Xi's attitude towards Hui Niang is actually very contradictory.

……

……

Hui Niang's inner struggle was terrible, Shen Xi didn't press her too hard, and the two of them always maintained a sense of mutual respect.

Now in the Shen family, the Zhou family is busy matching another pair of young men and women.

One is Xiaoyu and the other is Ma Jiu.

Ma Jiu escorted Shen Mingjun and his wife back to the capital, but Shen Xi never sent him to do things, so Ma Jiu became a subordinate of the Shen family, helping the Shen family move and lift the houses on both sides.

Zhou admired Ma Jiu very much, when she was in Ninghua, she wanted to match Ma Jiu and Xiaoyu, and after returning to the capital, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Ma Jiu was a match for Xiaoyu, and the more enthusiastic she became, and finally couldn't help but discuss this matter with Xie Yun'er.

Xiaoyu was originally a girl bought back by Hui Niang, but now that Hui Niang is not there, Xiao Yu is tantamount to being transferred to the Shen family, as the mother of the Shen family, Xie Yun'er does have the right to dispose of Xiao Yu, and she can find a good family to marry for her independently.

“…… Xianggong, although Ma Jiu is illiterate, but he is sincere, he is a good candidate for a husband, it just so happens that Xiaoyu is gentle and literate, the two can complement each other, maybe they can achieve a good story? ”

In the study, Shen Xi was holding a book and looking at it leisurely, while Xie Yun'er was embroidering and gossiping.

Under the influence of the Zhou family, Xie Yun'er also began to develop in the direction of housewife, especially after the Zhou family deprived Xie Yun'er of the right to take care of the store.

Shen Xi smiled: "Lady, shouldn't you ask the opinions of the two parties for these things first?" ”

"Xiang Gong is saying...... Ma Jiu and Xiaoyu? Xie Yun'er thought for a while and asked.

Shen Xi nodded: "Otherwise, who is it?" If they look at each other in the right eye, it's a good thing that we can help arrange a match...... But if Lao Jiu has someone else in his heart, or Xiaoyu thinks that Lao Jiu is not suitable, then it will be in vain for us to do this. ”

Xie Yun'er said: "It's still thoughtful, so the concubine will go and ask Xiaoyu." ”

Only then did Shen Xi know that it turned out that this matter had been Zhang Luo from the beginning, and now he told him that it seemed that as long as he, the head of the family, agreed to the matter. But in fact, this matter has never been asked to Xiaoyu and Ma Jiu, the two parties involved, it is all Zhou and Xie Yun'er discussing.

Marriage events, the words of the matchmaker of their parents' orders, Ma Jiu and Xiaoyu are rootless wanderers, and what they can rely on seems to be that there is no one else except the Shen family.

Ma Jiu was originally a gangster leader, but in the past few years, he has become a lot more mature in terms of dealing with people and making decisions on the spot, especially in terms of leadership, Shen Xi feels that Ma Jiu already has the ability to take charge of himself.

Shen Xi occasionally talked to Ma Jiu about his marriage before, and Ma Jiu meant that he was living a life of licking blood from the knife and didn't want to affect others, so he didn't think about it at all.

Shen Xi knew that this was just a rhetoric from Ma Jiu.

Both men and women, when they reach a certain age, want to start a family, find a caring person to take care of themselves, or, to take care of their other half.

On Xiaoyu's side, Xie Yun'er went to say, and as for Ma Jiu, Shen Xi personally called him over to ask what he meant...... Shen Xi never thought that he would be so leisurely, and he would care about the marriage of his brothers in front of the official.

After asking, Shen Xi found that whether it was Xiaoyu or Ma Jiu, the answers were almost the same: they were not worthy of each other.

"Xianggong, in fact, this is a good thing, which shows that they still have each other in their hearts. I don't think I'm worthy, but I will cherish it more after I get married, just like a concubine, and I always feel that I don't deserve it. ”

Xie Yun'er suddenly connected the matter to herself, and a blush appeared on her little face, like a girl waiting to be married. (To be continued.) )
