Chapter 718: Obscurity (7th Update)
Shen Xi became a father, but he was not psychologically prepared to be a father, and even when he held the child, he felt that the things in front of him were a little unreal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I'm still a child, why am I a father?
Shen Xi always felt that he was mature enough, not surprised by changes, and not inferior to others in intrigue and deceit, but that was only relative.
In terms of dealing with the world, he does have a set of formed values and worldview, but when faced with the emotional ties that he has never experienced in his two lives, Shen Xi shows a dazed and fragile side in his heart.
On the contrary, Xie Yun'er, the mother, did better, because Xie Yun'er had already practiced countless times in her heart to hold the child in her hands, nurse the child, watch the child grow up, and teach the child to be a man......
Xie Yun'er is a qualified mother, and Shen Xi can only say that she is still learning how to be a father.
When a child is born, the first thing to do is to give it a name.
It stands to reason that those classic Chinese chapters should be found from the subset of classics and history, and one or two words should be intercepted from them to name the children, and Shen Xi has also prepared a few names before, which seem to be quite good. But when it came to the end, he hesitated, and in the end, he simply named the child "Ping".
Shen Ping.
Shen Xi hopes that the child will be safe and sound, and does not want him to be rich and noble in the future, as long as he can grow up healthily, and everything in life, old age, sickness and death is in accordance with the laws of heaven, that is the greatest expectation as a father.
"Xianggong, shouldn't it be named after the genealogy of the Shen family?"
In the Shen family tree, under the Ming and Yongzi generations is Ji, that is to say, what should the child be called Shen Ji.
Shen Xi's son is not the eldest grandson of the Shen family's generation, Shen Yongzhuo has already had a son born earlier, and he is also ranked according to the succession.
If it is arranged according to the genealogy, then Shen Ping should be Shen Jiping.
"It's okay, isn't it just a single name for a stream?" Shen Xi said with a smile, "Even if I tell my family, my family will not object." ”
"Hmm."
Xie Yun'er is a woman with a strong family concept, conservative, traditional, and more inclined to follow the ancestral system.
But at her husband's insistence, she understood the truth that her husband was his wife, and since Shen Xi thought it was good, she agreed.
Then she felt that the name Shen Ping was very good, as if it was tailor-made for her son.
In Xie Yun'er's eyes, her husband is omnipotent, and a simple name, she will also regard it as a long time ago set by God for her son.
"Xianggong, the concubine can take care of herself, you have big things to do, you can't always think about the family, the concubine and Ping'er just know that you have us in your heart."
Xie Yun'er's face was full of happiness.
During this time, whether it was when she was nursing her children or when eating, Shen Xi would accompany her on the bed, making her feel that she had received too much love, and she felt a little uneasy.
Shen Xi said with a smile: "You have spread the branches and leaves of our Shen family, if I don't know how to cherish it, I am not a competent husband." As for business, I'm not very busy. ”
Xie Yun'er was coquettish: "Isn't there still a Dai'er at home?" Remember to spend more time with her, Daile should be very disappointed in her heart. ”
Without Xie Yun'er's reminder, Shen Xi could understand Lin Dai's frustration and helplessness that was preempted by others......
The childhood sweetheart's lover was the first to ascend, and the son was born first, but his stomach didn't even move at all.
Lin Dai used to like to pester Shen Xi the most, but now she seems to have become "cold", because she knows that even if she has another son, she will only be a concubine, and she can no longer help her win a higher status in the Shen family.
Except for comforting Lin Dai, Shen Xi didn't know what he could do.
Both women now need him to pour out his love, perhaps only Yin Wen is more reassuring, even if they just meet on weekdays, Xiao Nizi is very satisfied.
Shen Xi occasionally thought in his heart that if Lin Dai could be like Yin Wen, the Shen family would be much more peaceful.
……
……
Shen Xi gave birth to a son, which did not cause any waves in the capital at all.
There are no entertainment activities in these years, and there seems to be nothing else to do except go to bed at night, almost every family will add Ding every year, but even less than fifty percent can live to adulthood, except that the emperor will make the world pay attention to the birth of a child, and it doesn't matter if a Hanlin official from the fifth grade has children.
The first to go to Shen Xi's mansion to congratulate was Xie Duo, and the old sacrificial wine was the first to know that Shen Xi was a father.
The second person to learn was Xie Qian, but Xie Qian did not come to the door in person, but asked Shen Xi to come over to the house to talk.
Shen Xi knew that Xie Qian invited him to Xie's Mansion not simply to congratulate him on becoming a father, but also to explain other things. It turned out that Shen Xi's prediction was correct, Xie Qian just pouted when he talked about Shen Xi being his father, and his face was still a little unhappy.
“…… Er Fang is young, and after marrying a wife and having children, he is really capable...... Can the eldest son be named? Xie Qian asked.
Shen Xi didn't feel good when he heard it, you still care about whether I have a son or not? Even if you want to help, I just politely refuse, so as not to bother your old man.
Shen Xi said: "The name has been given, and the single name is flat." ”
"Shen Ping? Tsk, you are the champion of the Ming Dynasty......" Xie Qian actually criticized the name for not getting it well, and even brought Shen Xi, who was a father, into it.
Shen Xi said: "As a father, Xie Ge should understand the expectations of his parents for his children, and the students just hope that the dog will be safe and secure in the future, not seeking to be heard, but only to die without disasters and diseases." ”
"Easy to say. Since you are a Hanlin official, if you do well in the future, it is not impossible to be a supreme minister, your eldest son, just want peace and security, and it doesn't hurt to be an ordinary person? ”
Shen Xi shook his head: "Ordinary is a blessing." ”
Xie Qian was stunned, thought about it, and said disdainfully: "What you want yourself, that's your business." There are some things I want to make clear to you, Your Majesty is very satisfied with your leveling strategy, and I would like to reward you for your merits...... Don't be in a hurry, now that you are promoted to a no-name teacher, it is easy to provoke criticism from the government and the opposition. Your Majesty's will, let you have more experience, and you will be the chief examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination, and everything will be said after the successful completion of the Township Examination. ”
The previous rumors about Shen Xi serving as the inner curtain official of the Liangjing Township Trial were boiling, but in fact, including Xie Duo's warning, it was just speculation, and Xie Qian said to Shen Xi in a consultative tone and asked for his opinion.
But this time is different, Xie Qian is equivalent to conveying the holy will, the matter is reported to the cabinet by the Ministry of Rites, and then approved by Emperor Hongzhi, it has basically been determined, and Shen Xi is not allowed to shirk.
"Thank you, Elder Ge for taking care of you." Shen Xi saluted.
"I am disrespectful to this thank you, you don't know, Your Majesty originally intended you to go to Yingtianfu, and it was I who fought hard to win the examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination for you. Of course, the most important thing is that Your Majesty Shengming thinks that you have both ability and political integrity, and you are decent, so you arranged such a good and bad to expand your prestige in Shilin. ”
"There are some things that should not be rushed, teach the prince well, and you can often come to the house as a guest in the future, but Pi'er, don't teach you for the time being......"
Shen Xi was puzzled and looked at Xie Qian with wide eyes.
Xie Qian explained: "It was Your Majesty's special explanation, let the old man mention you more, this is Your Majesty's favor for you." ”
Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Elder Xie Ge, the student has something unclear. ”
"Oh? Tell me about it! ”
Xie Qian had a little caution on his face, thinking that Shen Xi was going to say something important.
Shen Xi took a long time: "Since you don't need to teach Ling Gongzi to Xie Mansion, then the students will come...... What's the point? ”
When Xie Qian heard this, he almost stretched out his hand to beat Shen Xi, what was the matter, it was clearly to raise the bar with him.
"Your Majesty asked you to come, you came, even if the old man is not at home, these books in the old man's study, the codex of handling official business on weekdays, and some of the old man's experience as an official, you can take a look, and the right is the old man's teaching to you. After receiving the will of God, are you still afraid of gossip from others? ”
Xie Qian was a little annoyed and angry, if it wasn't for the emperor's orders, do you think I would have come to my house rarely? I don't know that the gate of my Xie Mansion in this capital is the most difficult to enter? Give you the opportunity, you should be grateful, not talk nonsense with me.
Shen Xi said: "I'm afraid of disturbing the relatives of the Xie Mansion." ”
Xie Qian squinted at Shen Xi, and vaguely remembered that this was clearly the first time he invited Shen Xi to come to the mansion, he specially confessed.
"You kid, sometimes like a cunning fox, but now you look like a frizzy boy. If you change to someone else, do you think I can spare him if I talk like this? It is light to denounce the frontier as a petty official! The old man tolerates you, just because you can be presumptuous! ”
Shen Xi thought to himself, I talk to people and ghosts, if I am not familiar with you, I will naturally be silent, how can I anger you?
In other words, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang stood in front of me, and I still said this kind of thing, just to be unhappy with the official hat on my head!
Xie Qian's tone became calm, "I told the people in the house, when you want to come, you can enter the house at any time, this front yard and study, you are all at will, you can read the books in the old man's collection at will, the only thing is that you can't enter the inner house." ”
Shen Xi was a little embarrassed: "If someone comes out of the inner house, should you deliberately avoid it?" ”
"Come out?"
Xie Qian thought about it, and probably thought that only his little granddaughter Xie Hengnu would come out of this mansion when Shen Xi arrived at the mansion, "If the people from the inner house come out, the old man won't blame you, but you ...... You can't mess up the system. I will find someone to keep an eye on you at any time, lest you spoil my Xie Mansion style. ”
When Xie Qian said this, he clearly regarded Shen Xi as a member of the Xie Mansion. Shen Xi smiled and saluted: "That student will definitely come to visit if he has a chance." ”
In the future, this Xie Mansion will be Shen Xi's "back garden", come and go as soon as you want, as for Xie Qian's study, it will become his study, if you feel bored at home on weekdays, it is also good to come to Xie Qian to hide and be quiet.
From this point of view, Xie Qian gave him great convenience.
As for Xie Lao'er taking the initiative to do this, whether he simply obeyed the emperor's orders or came from his original intention, Shen Xi did not know.
"Jun'er, this girl, is a little stubborn on weekdays, and she can't control her heart, you can teach her more......" Speaking of this, a touch of love appeared on Xie Qian's face.
"Xie Ge Lao's words, the students don't understand very well." Shen Xi would pretend to be confused even if he understood at this time.
The girl in the boudoir, the name of the boudoir is a secret, Xie Qian now calls Xie Hengnu's name in front of him, and asks him to mention it more, the meaning is self-evident, but Shen Xi didn't believe that Xie Qian would hand over the pearl in his palm to him, a married man.
"You'll understand." Xie Qian didn't get angry with Shen Xi this time, thoughtfully, "The old man is old, it is impossible to take care of her for the rest of his life, girls always have to get married, as long as she likes it." But I'm afraid that this girl is young and doesn't understand the hard work of the future......"
Shen Xi saluted: "The student thinks that with Miss Xie's character, she is smart and clever, and no matter who she marries into in the future, her husband's family will not treat her badly." ”
Xie Qian said the matter cryptically, and Shen Xi also vaguely showed his attitude.
