"It turned out to be Gongzi Xie, fortunately!"

Qi Yin arched his hand and said tentatively: "I wonder if Gongzi Xie is willing to have a few drinks with Qi?" ”

Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "Xie is not strong enough to drink, so forget it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After speaking, he chatted with Wang Shouwen.

That Qi Yin was hung on the spot by Xie Shen, not to mention how embarrassing it was.

Can't get enough of it? Qi Yin had just seen Xie Shen drink several glasses of wine with his own eyes. Isn't that a slap in the face to his face?

Contacting the pair Xie Shen just made, Qi Yin felt that his cheeks were hot, and he was really humiliated by such sarcasm, and he and a few friends ran away.

After the annoying Qiantang County scholars left, Xie Shen asked in a good mood: "Is this Du Kangdu really so famous?" ”

Wang Shouwen said with a bitter face: "Does Brother Shenxian want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”

Xie Shen said with a straight expression: "Naturally, you have to listen to the truth." ”

Wang Shouwen sighed and said: "It's not a secret, Brother Shenxian, before you became famous, this Du Kang was already famous, and he was a prodigy in Hangzhou Mansion once in a century." ”

Xie Shen smiled and didn't say anything.

Prodigy? There may really be prodigies in the world, but they are all unborn and will never be everywhere.

In other words, in his opinion, there will not be more than three prodigies in the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. This Du Kang is not famous in history, and it seems that most of it is also boasted.

"This Du Kang was originally on the same level as Bi Gongzi, and he should have decided to come back to participate in the township test after being robbed of the limelight by Brother Shen Xian, right?"

Xie Shen rolled his eyes when he heard this. What is it that he stole the limelight from Du Kang, is that Xie Shen winning it with his strength. If your skills are not as good as others, you have to admit defeat, does this Du Kang want to get back to the field through the results of the township test?

"Is this Du Kangdu Gongzi good at poetry or current literature?"

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. Xie Shen is still quite interested in this Du Gongzi.

"It's hard to say, I've heard that this is an all-rounder."

Xie Shen shook his head and said: "Generally, there is no refinement to be called an all-rounder, it seems that this son is not a matter of concern." ”

Almighty is omnipotent, so far Xie Shen has basically judged that Du Gongzi is an embroidered pillow.

Since the township examination is a provincial examination, scholars from all over the country will compete to compare their results.

Shaoxing Mansion is an absolute place of cultural convergence in Zhejiang Province, and Yuyao is even more of a bull's ear.

Therefore, often after the township test list is released, Yuyao students will have the most students on the list, which attracts the jealousy of some narrow-minded people. The Qiantang County scholars just now were obviously among them.

Xie Shen, Wang Shouwen, and Xie Pi were full of wine and food and were about to settle the bill, but the little two said with a smile: "A few little ministers, your wine and food money is free." ”

Xie Shen wondered, "Why is this?" ”

He doesn't like the feeling of owing someone a favor, so he must ask.

The little second smiled and said, "My shopkeeper has said hello, as long as you come to the store, you won't charge money." ”

Xie Shen couldn't stand half of the words, so he asked: "Who is the shopkeeper of your family, and does he have a relationship with Xiaosheng?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Er was silent, Xie Shen was a little anxious.

"You go and call your shopkeeper, I'll ask him!"

Xiao Er didn't dare to delay, gritted his teeth, and went downstairs to find the shopkeeper.

After half a cup of tea, the shopkeeper of the restaurant rushed over and threw his hand at Xie Shen again and again: "Mr. Xie, is it that the small shop is not taking good care of it?" ”

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "I heard this guy say that our wine and food money has been exempted, which is what you mean. Xiaosheng just wanted to ask why. ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant said with some embarrassment: "This is also what the owner ordered, and the old man just did it." ”

"Oh? Dare I ask who your proprietor is? ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant hesitated for a moment, and said very embarrassed: "It's Master Ning." ”

Xie Shen suddenly realized!

In Hangzhou, Ningyi is the one who can step on the two boats of salt industry and tea industry. Old Man Ning is rich enough to rival the country, so he will naturally expand wildly, the restaurant is fast money, and Ning Yi has no problem opening a dozen stores.

The question now is whether Xie Shen wants to accept this favor.

It is true that Ning Yi and Xie Shen are partners, but cooperation is cooperation, and human favor is human favor.

If cooperation and human affection are confused, sooner or later there will be problems.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "The money for this wine and food Xiaosheng paid first, and I will explain it outside Ningyuan." ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Since Xie Xiaoxianggong insists on this, it is not easy to be reluctant. Lord Ning also asked Xie Xiaoxianggong to say Duoduoyuan. ”

"It's easy to say, don't worry about the shopkeeper."

Xie Shen took out the money for the wine and food and handed it to Xiao Er, and then left the restaurant with Xie Pi and Wang Shouwen.

The reason why he still paid for the food and drinks was not because he was unkind, but because he didn't want to fall too deep into the cooperation with Ning Yuanwai.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law's house in Ping'anfang was rented from Ning Yuanwai.

At the beginning, Ning Yuanwai proposed to give the house to the Xie family for free, but Xie Shen politely refused, and finally rented it at the market price.

Business does not believe in human feelings, only strength. The reason why Ning Yuanwai is now wooing him is because he is valuable. If you owe a lot of favors, how will you pay it back in the future?

Xie Shen shook his head and said to Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi: "You guys go back first, it seems that I have to go to talk to Ning Yuanwai." ”

Wang Shouwen said helplessly: "Okay, but Brother Shenxian, you can also look at it, there is no need to fight for the money of a meal of wine and food." ”

Xie Shen smiled noncommittally, but he crossed the Ping'an Bridge and headed towards Ning's house.

......

The political envoy yamen, the back yamen.

Xue Juzheng, the political envoy of the right, was so anxious that he paced back and forth.

From June onwards, the recital of his impeachment flew like snowflakes to the palace.

The reason for these impeachments is surprisingly consistent, that is, to reprimand Xue Ju as a prostitute.

This is something that Xue Ju can't accept.

Is there any official in the Ming Dynasty who has not been a prostitute? Even those self-proclaimed officials of the Inspectorate have not been prostitutes?

used this as a reason to attack him, which made Xue Ju angry.

But this is real, if one person is impeached and two people are impeached, they can still find a way to cover up the past. But after more than a dozen letters were handed over, it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to turn a blind eye to protect him.

The so-called killing chickens and monkeys, punishing him can play a role in rectifying the discipline of Ming officials, and he is really worried that he will become a victim of the Son of Heaven's invitation to buy people's hearts.

After thinking about it, Xue Ju still felt that he should go to the town guard eunuch Liu Wen to discuss.

After all, Liu Wen once served the Son of Heaven and knew the temper of the Son of Heaven very well.

If you can find the right medicine, you may be able to save the situation.

Xue Ju took a deep breath and ordered the housekeeper to prepare the sedan chair, and then set off for the eunuch's mansion.

Of course, he will not wear official robes, nor will he rely on the political envoys.

The township test is imminent, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at him, the political envoy, Xue Ju doesn't want to make any more extraneous branches.
