After coming to the Ming Dynasty for more than a year, Xie Shen's entire life was concentrated in Yuyao City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is naturally nothing in ancient times, many people have lived in a small county town all their lives, and the communication with the outside world is almost zero.

For Shaoxing Mansion, Xie Shen is still looking forward to it. After all, it is the most outstanding place in Zhejiang, which controls the century-old cultural context of Jiangnan, and the young man wants to see how it is different from other places.

The carriage left Yuyao City soon after, walking on a winding dirt road, leaving thick rut marks. The rolling yellow dust is raised, dotted among the green mountains and green waters, which is quite a different charm.

"Brother Shenxian, you said that this Shaoxing Mansion test, will you win the first case again?"

Wang Shouwen suddenly felt bored, so he asked casually.

Xie Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, who can say this kind of thing, but please have no regrets." ”

Yuyao County is not far from Shaoxing Fucheng, if you can walk for two whole days.

Xie Shen and his entourage took a carriage and set off early in the morning, and arrived outside the city gate at sunset.

The soldiers guarding the city gate routinely searched the carriage and confirmed that they were not carrying armor and weapons, and Xie Shen and his party successfully entered the Shaoxing Mansion City.

Compared with Yuyao, the biggest feature of Shaoxing Mansion is its magnanimity.

Whether it is the landmark buildings such as the Yamen and the City God Temple, or the shops facing the street and the tiled houses where the people live, they are all a whole circle larger than Yuyao.

Wang Shouwen had been to Fucheng twice, so he didn't think there was anything unusual. But Xie Pi has been sighing. Looking at his appearance, I can't wait to go around the city wall and see all the grass and trees in Shaoxing Mansion.

Xie Shen is still very calm, after all, he has experienced the reinforced concrete life of the metropolis in later generations, and these so-called spacious buildings are not enough to see in comparison.

"Brother Shouwen, it's getting dark, let's find a hotel to stay in quickly."

Since you are going to stay in Shaoxing Mansion for a month, it is better to find a place to live as soon as possible.

Wang Shouwen smiled and said, "Looking for a hotel to stay?" When you arrive in this Shaoxing Mansion, if you still need to live in a hotel, it will really make people laugh off their big teeth. ”

Xie Shen frowned and said, "Don't look for a hotel to live in... Do you have friends in Shaoxing Mansion who can let us stay overnight? ”

Wang Shouwen patted his chest proudly and said, "The Lu family and our Wang family are world friends. The Lu family originally lived in Yuyao, but since Lu Xianglu's eldest brother entered the Guozijian, their family moved to Shaoxing Mansion. If we come to Fucheng to participate in the government test and hide it from them, let Uncle Lu know, we will definitely count me down. ”

Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "We live for a month, won't we disturb them?" ”

Wang Shouwen rolled his eyes and said, "Excuse me? His Lu family's house is smaller than the mansion in Shaoxing Mansion, how can we disturb them if we live alone in a courtyard. Brother Shenxian, don't think about it. ”

Xie Shen didn't want to argue with Wang Shouwen on these matters, so he simply got into the carriage with Xie Pi and headed towards the Lu family's mansion.

After a short time, the carriage stopped. Wang Shouwen was the first to jump out of the carriage and knocked on the door.

The man who came out to open the door was about thirty years old, and he had excellent eyesight, and he recognized Wang Shouwen at a glance.

"Wang Gongzi, why are you here?"

Wang Shouwen waved his hand and said, "I came to Fucheng with a few classmates to participate in the government examination this time, and I specially came to visit my aunt and Brother Lu. ”

That disciple knew that the Wang family and the Lu family were world friends, so where did he dare to hang Wang Shouwen outside, so he immediately dodged away and welcomed the three of them in.

"Wang Gongzi doesn't know, my eldest young master is now preparing for the palace exam in Beijing, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a short time."

Menzi said with a smile while leading the way in front, a few days ago, good news came from Beijing, the eldest young master won the thirty-third place in the examination, and this result can almost ensure that he will be born as a jinshi. Don't look at the difference between Jinshi and Tongjinshi is only one word, but the status is very different.

The palace examination is March 15, and after the examination, the candidates who are admitted to the palace must enter the palace in accordance with the regulations to thank the Holy Grace. After that, there will inevitably be various drinking parties, and this time, if Lu Xiang returns to Shaoxing, it will be June. And Wang Shouwen and Xie Shen are going to start the government exam in April, and it seems that they will definitely not meet them.

Wang Shouwen nodded and said, "Then I'll go and see my aunt first." ”

The Lu family is a typical family of eunuchs, Lu Xiang's grandfather Lu Youzhi supervised the imperial history, Lu Xiang's father Lu Yuan was the deputy envoy of the official worship department, and his mother Ying had the status of a widow. Although Wang Shouwen has not come much since the Lu family moved from Yuyao to Shaoxing Mansion, after all, the Lu family grew up, and he suddenly came to visit the Lu family this time, so the Ying family naturally would not be dissatisfied.

Since Lu Yuan is not in the mansion all the year round, all the affairs in the mansion are handled by the Ying family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Ying family is the actual head of the Lu family.

When he came to the Mingren Hall of the Lu family, Wang Shouwen said lightly: "Look at my eyes for a while." ”

After saying that, he walked into the hall without hesitation.

Ying believes in Buddhism, so there is a special Buddhist hall in the Lu family's mansion.

However, this main hall was used by the Lu family to receive distinguished guests, and the Ying family did not burn incense in it, which was an ordinary arrangement.

At this moment, Ying was twisting Buddha beads in his hand, sitting on the official hat chair and chanting, and the disciple respectfully reported: "Old lady, Wang Xiaolang has come to visit your old man's home." ”

Ying Shi opened his eyes, looked at Wang Shouwen for a while, and said lightly: "Shouwen, why did you suddenly remember to see the old body in Shaoxing Mansion?" ”

Xie Shen secretly sighed in his heart, this old man's memory is really good, and he can recognize Wang Shouwen at once!

Wang Shouwen was not restrained, he took two steps forward, and arched his hand to the Ying clan with a smile: "Auntie, I and a few classmates are going to come to Fucheng to participate in the government exam." No, did you come to visit you as soon as you entered the city? ”

"Oh, then let's stay in the house." Ying glanced at Xie Shen and Xie Pi and said, "These little Langjun are all talents, and they must not be bad at learning. Shouwen, you have to learn more from them. ”

Wang Shouwen smiled: "Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely take the government exam this time, if I can't make the list, I won't go back to Yuyao!" ”

"Junior Xie Shen has seen the old lady."

Xie Shen also respectfully gave a big salute to the Ying clan. Since you have to use it in the Lu Mansion, you still have to have the number of courtesies you should have, otherwise you will not be looked down upon. Xie Pi also learned from Xie Shen and bowed to Ying's family, and Ying's happy family couldn't close his mouth.

"Good, good. They're all good boys...... Alas, you, go and pack up the empty cross-courtyard on the west side, and let them stay in Shouwen. ”
