"Medicine and medicine do not die of disease, and Buddha is destined to be a person. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Li could only promise Xiao Xie to do his best to heal. As for whether Brother Ling can survive, it is not up to Li to decide. ”

When Li Yan heard this, he turned around and returned to the cabin.

Xie Shen didn't feel good in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

At this moment, he only hopes to be able to travel thousands of miles a day and rush to the eldest brother immediately.

......

......

Xie Shen's official boat went south and arrived in Hangzhou in only ten days.

Then I took a boat from Hangzhou and came to Yuyao in less than a day.

Returning to his hometown again after many years, Xie Shen's heart was full of mixed feelings.

When he left Yuyao, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and now he is an official and a very good minister.

The ancients often said that the rich and noble return to their hometown, what they want should not only be the envy of others, but the search for a lost feeling.

Of course, in such a clan society, enjoying the popularity of the clansmen is also part of the symbiotic relationship. And the officials who returned to their hometowns appeared as a cultural symbol.

The return of cabinet scholars to their hometowns is definitely a big deal in the eyes of local officials.

Yuyao County ordered Pei Se and Shaoxing Governor Zhang Qianzhi to rush to the Yunshan Ferry Pier outside Yuyao City to greet them.

This is part of the rules of officialdom, and as long as you mix in this circle, you must follow this rule.

The officials of the government and county government, under the leadership of the prefect and the county order, gathered at the wharf, and squeezed the already small wharf without a single gap.

When Xie Shen's boat was still more than ten miles away from the Yunshan Ferry Wharf, a servant rushed to report the letter. Therefore, when the ship officially sailed around the river bay and entered the wharf, a group of officials who were originally tired and tired all mustered up their strength and greeted the arrival of the little pavilion elder with a smile on their faces.

"Little Xie Ge's boat is here, Xiao Xie Ge's boat is here!"

I don't know who shouted first, and the crowd immediately became agitated.

The prefect Pei Se, the county commander Zhang Qianzhi knelt on the ground without hesitation and greeted the boss of the small pavilion.

When the rest of the officials saw this, they also bowed down one after another, respectfully like servants of the house.

In fact, Ming officials do not need to kneel and bow when they meet their superiors. Except for the need for the magistrates to bow to the Son of Heaven (in fact, to the Son of Heaven), there is no explicit provision in the Law on this part.

What's more, Xie Shen's return to his hometown this time was not for business, but to deal with private matters, so there was no need to go out of the city to greet him so much.

However, there are some things that Xie Shen can not ask for, but local officials cannot but do it.

In this regard, Xie Shen can only turn a blind eye, if he really investigates it deeply, it will make him unhappy.

As soon as the boat docked, Lu Chongtian jumped down first.

After Qianqian and Li Yanwen got off the boat, Xie Shen walked out of the cabin and jumped off the boat last.

This is not that he deliberately put on a show, but that he knows that even if he is the first to get off the boat, he will be surrounded by local officials, which will affect the rest of the people to get off the boat and walk.

"Xiaguan Shaoxing prefect Pei Xie visited the little pavilion elder."

In March, the south of the Yangtze River is the time of beautiful spring, when the weather has become warmer, the weeping willows on both sides of the wharf flutter with the wind, and the blooming peach blossoms complement each other, like ancient paintings.

But in such a gorgeous picture, there is an extra row of officials kneeling and prostrating, which is like defacing a beach, which makes people feel distressed.

The prefect of Shaoxing was indeed as humble as an ant in front of Xie Shen, a cabinet scholar, not to mention the rest of the officials.

Xie Shen didn't speak, Pei Se didn't even dare to raise his head, and his heart was pounding.

As an old man who has been up and down in the sea for many years, thinking about his boss's mind is his specialty.

But at this moment, he didn't know what Xiao Ge Lao was thinking in his heart.

"Rise up, everybody. This official has not returned to his hometown on official business, so you don't have to. ”

Xie Shen's voice came, and everyone was relieved.

Xiao Ge Lao had been silent before, and they thought that they were not satisfied with the greeting process.

If that's the case, the rest of the day will not be easy.

"Xiaguan has prepared a mansion for Xiao Ge Lao, look ......"

Pei Se stood up and smiled flatteringly at Xie Shen.

Xie Shenzhi was cold, and waved his hand again and again: "No need." Didn't the official say that this return to his hometown is not for business, so naturally he can't live in the official residence. ”

"Hehe, it's the lower official who is abrupt."

Pei Se's face was thicker than the city wall, and he followed Xie Shen's words.

The official university crushed people to death, the prefect was talking to the old Xiaoge, and Yuyao County made Zhang Qianzhi naturally unable to answer a word.

It stands to reason that Xiaoge is always from Yuyao, and he is also returning to Yuyao's hometown, so he should be greeted by him, Yuyao's parents. But Pei Se was extremely shameless, and he rushed to Yuyao County from Fucheng and snatched this beauty.

Although Zhang Xianling was aggrieved, he was helpless.

Who called the family the prefect, he is the county commander.

Seeing that Pei Zhifu was deflated, Zhang Qianzhi was secretly refreshed in his heart.

He said in his heart, let you fight with me, now you are dumbfounded. Xiao Ge Lao didn't accept your affection at all, you were busy for a few days in vain, and in the end it was all in vain.

Pei Se was naturally a little unwilling, he coughed and said, "Little Pavilion Elder, the lower official has prepared a table of banquets for you in Zuiyue Tower to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"Yes."

Xie Shen replied lightly, which was considered an answer.

He returned to Yuyao to treat his eldest brother's illness, so there was no reason to live in the mansion, and there was no need for this.

But it's another thing to attend a reception banquet prepared for by local officials, and it would be too impersonal to refuse.

Pei Se was overjoyed when he heard this, he was already desperate. was greeted with such an embarrassing appearance, could it be that Xiao Ge Lao was dissatisfied with him?

But now it seems that Xiao Ge Lao is just a high-spirited and bright man, and he doesn't want to occupy the public mansion.

For Pei Se, what he wants most is naturally to have a meal with Xie Shen.

He is still only a prefect at the age of forty, and what he lacks most is network resources. Being able to change glasses and lamps at the banquet with the cabinet scholars of the current dynasty and talk freely about the affairs of the family and the country is naturally very beneficial to the improvement of personal connections.

Xie Shen knew that this kind of entertainment was inevitable, so he didn't shirk it, and first asked Lu Chongtian to send Qianqian and Li Yanwen back to the Yuyao mansion, and he went to Zuichun Mansion for a banquet surrounded by a group of officials.

As soon as he entered Yuyao County, Xie Shen felt a strong atmosphere of celebration.

The road was lined with teenage children, holding peach branches in their hands and waving happily in celebration of their arrival.

Xie Shen couldn't laugh or cry, but after thinking about it, he still waved at them.

Because there were too many onlookers, it took more than 1,000 steps from the city gate to the Zuichun Tower.

The prefect Pei Se wanted to order the officials to drive the people away, but was stopped by Xie Shen.

Wealth returns to the hometown, brocade clothes travel daytime. This joy should be shared with the villagers.
