Chapter 209: Joy in the Present and Joy in the Future
As if seeing what Xie Shen was thinking, Chen Fangyin coughed and said, "This eunuch Liu is not an ordinary person, he used to work in the ceremonial eunuch when he was in the palace, and he has won the trust of His Majesty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
When Old Master Chen said this, he deliberately stopped, as if he was hinting at Xie Shen something.
Xie Shen's heart sank, and he carefully pondered Elder Chen's words.
Suddenly, he had an epiphany like a bamboo shoot breaking through the ground!
Since Liu Wen is a celebrant and supervisor, it shows that he has a very high level of education and should be a key training object. Even if such eunuchs are sent out to work as town guard eunuchs, most of them are inspectors for the Son of Heaven, and it is very likely that they will be transferred back to the palace in the future.
Is Mr. Chen hinting that he will make more friends with Liu Wen, so as to leave a good impression in the heart of the Son of Heaven through Liu Wen's mouth?
If you look at it from this point of view, it seems that it is very beneficial to make friends with Liu Wen.
Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, the struggle between the inner court and the outer court was a big drama.
And once the inner court and the outer court can unite, they can almost control the government.
After all, there are not many diligent kings like Hongzhi Tianzi, and if he catches up with a prodigal like Zhengde, Shoufu is no different from the actual king.
Of course, this does not mean that only by befriending the eunuchs can you control the power, but if the celebrant and the cabinet are really horns of each other, they can really achieve the four words of a supreme minister.
Pressing these aside for the time being, Xie Shen chatted with the Grand Master for a few more words and then got up to leave.
In the officialdom, observing words and emotions is the first thing, since the great grandmaster has already reached the point, Xie Shen has no need to ask the bottom of the matter.
As for whether he wants to befriend Liu Wen next, and how he wants to befriend him is Xie Shen's own business, and it has nothing to do with the Great Grandmaster.
In other words, Grand Grandmaster Chen Fangyin was just a messenger, and he didn't want to involve Xie Shen and Eunuch Liu too much.
Today is happy to come and this is happy, Xie Shen is also the first in the scientific examination, and the two friends have passed the examination school and obtained the admission ticket to the township examination, if you don't get together for a banquet, it seems that I am sorry for God's favor.
said that the three of them met for dinner at Wang's house, and Wang Shouwen naturally ordered the chief to order a table of banquets. The three of them drank and ate in the courtyard, and asked if the moon was happy.
When he was slightly drunk, Wang Shouwen said loudly: "There is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad tomorrow." Brother Shenxian, we all have to let go and drink today! ”
Xie Shen smiled and said, "Brother Shouwen, it's just a scientific exam, aren't you too happy......
Wang Shouwen frowned and said: "Brother Shenxian, what are you talking about, don't look at this is just a scientific exam, but there are not many people who can pass." It is not a leader among people who can be admitted to the Xiucai to study in the county, and it is not easy for a brother to be among them. Why not celebrate a little? ”
Xie Shen had to sigh in his heart that he had said the wrong thing.
Yes, people have different statuses and expectations.
Wang Shouwen is a child of a family, and his own knowledge is not outstanding, so it is already very gratifying to be able to obtain the qualification for the township examination.
But Xie Shen is different, he is from a poor family, if he wants to get ahead, he can only rely on hard power to speak, if he can't even participate in the township test, it can be said that it will be wasted. Therefore, Xie Shen has never taken taking the township test as a goal, and in his opinion, it is natural to be able to participate in the township test smoothly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xie Pi hurriedly came out to play a round.
"This is a great event, why should the two eldest brothers care, drinking, drinking!"
Xie Pi raised his wine glass and drank it all, but Wang Shouwen hesitated for a moment, and finally took a sip.
The little embarrassment was resolved, but the Wang family came to Wang Shouwen's side with a trot and whispered in his ear.
Wang Shouwen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Two virtuous brothers, do you know who is coming?" ”
Xie Shen said lightly: "Could it be a confidant?" ”
Wang Shouwen patted the food case and said: "Those who know me, Brother Shen Xian." Yes, it's Shen Niangzi who has found it! ”
It turned out that that day, after Shen Niangzi temporarily sheltered from the limelight in Wang's house, she asked Wang Shouwen to find a clean house in Yuyao City and live there. The concept of male and female defense is still very bad, and Shen Niangzi is now innocent, and living in the Wang family for a long time will naturally cause criticism, which is inappropriate.
"By the way, Brother Shen Xian doesn't know where Mrs. Shen lives, right? In the west of the city, it was originally Xiao Yuanwai's house, and Shen Niangzi bought it and repaired it a little and lived in it. If you want to find Shen Niangzi, you can go directly to ......"
Xie Shen couldn't help frowning, it seemed that Wang Shouwen was really drunk.
"What are you doing there, go and invite Mrs. Shen in!"
Wang Shouwen glanced at the chief and ordered in a deep voice.
The chief didn't dare to delay, and trotted out of the courtyard again.
It didn't take long for Shen Niangzi to move the lotus lightly.
She wore a peach-colored narrow-sleeved gown today, and a beaded gold hairpin on her head, which was graceful and luxurious.
And she seems to have smoked incense before she came, which is even more charming.
This is very different from Shen Niangzi's outfit on weekdays, Shen Niangzi is a little pink on weekdays, showing people with plain elegance, how did she change her temperament today?
Xie Shen was puzzled, and Shen Niangzi said with a smile: "Xie Xiaoxianggong has been staring at the slave family. ”
Only then did the young man realize that he had been looking at Shen Yan, and his cheeks couldn't help but flush.
"Xiaosheng is rude."
"The slave family just said it casually, and the little minister didn't have to care."
Shen Yan walked closer, blew lightly in Xie Shen's ear and said, "Can the slave family be seated?" ”
This breath blew in from Xie Shen's ears, and it was straight to the heart's heart, Xie Shen's heart was like hitting a deer, and he coughed repeatedly: "Of course you can." ”
Shen Yan has been in the dust for more than ten years, what kind of person has never been seen, and he has long been surprised by a young child like Xie Shen.
Wu Zi sat down, Shen Niangzi covered her mouth and smiled: "Today, the slave family is uninvited, Xie Xiaoxianggong should not be surprised." ”
"Haha, how can you be weird. Shen Niangzi was able to come, and the three of us were very happy. Brother Shenxian, you would like to say a word......"
Wang Shouwen greeted him very warmly, but found that Xie Shenyou was stunned, so he reminded in a whisper.
"Out of the way. The slave family came today to say goodbye to the three ministers, and the second was also for the tea business. ”
Really!
The last time Xie Shen and Shen Niangzi were chatting in the middle of the Yuanzhong Inn, the god-damn thief Sun Ruoxu surrounded him with a bunch of evil slaves. However, Shen Niangzi's basic purpose Xie Shen already knew, that is, she hoped to cooperate with her to make the tea business bigger.
But Xie Shen didn't want to cooperate with Shen Niangzi from the bottom of his heart.
First, Shen Niangzi has a special identity after all, although she has been whitewashed, she was always a courtesan before.
Second, the assistance that Shen Niangzi can provide to him is nothing more than money, and this is not something that only Shen Niangzi can provide.
