Fortunately, Xie Shen was walking with Wang Shouwen, Xie Pi and several other Yuyao people, and they talked and laughed along the way, but they were not too depressed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Disembark at the Zhangjiawan Wharf in Tongzhou and change to a carriage, and it took less than a day to arrive in front of the Zhengyang Gate of the Beijing Division.

Mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, and the city is a nine-fold gate. Don't see the emperor's palace, and know the son of heaven.

Looking at the towering city walls and the rows of buildings within the city walls, Xie Shen finally understood why so many people wanted to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family.

At this time, there was still a full month before the start of the examination, Xie Shen didn't need to be too anxious, and after separating from several other Yuyao people, he went to Elder Xu's mansion to live temporarily.

Speaking of which, Xie Shen was still a little guilty, he did not follow Xu Guan's suggestion to marry Qianqian before the exam, but felt that he should focus on the big ratio first, and the matter of children's love can be put aside for the time being.

Therefore, he specially wrote a letter to the future father-in-law who was far away in Songjiang to deal with the Susong flood.

Xie Shen knew that Xu Guan would be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the ninth year of Hongzhi, but he didn't remember the specific month.

But it seems that Dabi will not be able to lower this grace before.

Xu Guan told Xie Shen in his reply, and specially emphasized that he must live in his own house when he arrives in Beijing.

For the warm invitation of the future father-in-law, Xie Shen had to accept it.

In fact, he originally wanted to use Wang Hua or Xie Qian's mansion, but since Master Xu had already opened his mouth, it was really difficult to refuse.

As for those who have no relatives and acquaintances in Beijing, they can only go to the Zhejiang Provincial Hall or inn to settle down.

With the handwritten letter written by Xu Guan, Xie Shen went to Xicheng.

Xicheng is a gathering area for officials and eunuchs, Xie Shen looked for the address, took a deep breath before touching the Xu Mansion, and knocked on the door.

To be honest, he doesn't like this feeling very much, although Xu Guan is far away in Susong at this time to deal with the flood, and the prospective son-in-law and father-in-law don't have to look up and look down every day, but living in Xu Mansion will still make people uncomfortable.

"Ugh."

"Why is the young master sighing?"

Chen Hu'er blinked his eyes very curiously and asked in a harmonious voice.

Lu Chongtian laughed and said: "This is not simple, the young master is worried that Miss Xu is also in the house, which will cause embarrassment." ”

Xie Shen glanced at Lu Farming angrily, this person looks quite honest on weekdays, how can he belong to the wilted type.

"Miss Xu should be serving Master Xu in Songjiang Mansion now, how can she be in Jingshi?"

While he was talking, the door of Xu's house opened, and the door that came to open the door was an old servant who was forty years old.

He looked at Xie Shen for a while, and said respectfully: "This son is here to find my master, right?" Unfortunately, my lord is not in Beijing. ”

For the powerful eunuchs, the importance of Menzi is self-evident. A good disciple needs to have many excellent qualities. For example, it is exquisite, such as being old and serious.

Therefore, looking at the performance of a disciple, you can guess the character of the master.

The owner of the young guy should also be a young and vigorous person. And if the disciple is old, the main family will most likely be a calm person.

Xu Guan, as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, is also a bit of a leader in Beijing, so naturally he can't just find a door to fool without caring about his face.

This old servant was brought by him from his hometown in Shufu, and he has used it for twenty years, and he has already developed feelings.

Xie Shen smiled faintly and said: "Xiaosheng is Yuyao Xie Shen, Master Xu specially ordered Xiaosheng to live in Fuzhong during the test in Beijing. ”

After speaking, Xie Shen took the letter from the scholar Chen Hu'er and handed it to the manzi.

"It turned out to be Gongzi Xie!"

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in the old man's eyes, and he hurriedly opened the letter to read it.

As a disciple of the powerful mansion, knowledge does not have to be good, but it must be literate. Otherwise, if you don't even recognize the invitation, how can you do this job?

The old man unfolded the letter and read it, and immediately smiled when he confirmed that it was his master's handwriting, and let Xie Shen into the mansion.

"Gongzi Xie, most of the courtyards in the mansion are empty at this time, why don't you go to the west courtyard to live?"

Xie Shen smiled and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, if there is any trouble, please Haihan." ”

"Where did Gongzi Xie say, you are my lord's honored guest, although the lord is not in Beijing, he will never dare to slack off in the slightest."

Xie Shen, Chen Hu'er, and Lu Chongtian came to live in the West Courtyard together, and the man withdrew.

Xie Shen was a little surprised. It stands to reason that Xu Guan is not in Beijing, and the house should be vacant, and no one should clean it up on weekdays.

Why is this western courtyard so neat and tidy, and it seems to be spotless?

Could it be that Xu Guan was not at ease, and wrote a letter in advance and ordered someone to send it to the mansion in Beijing to explain?

There are three rooms in this west courtyard, the main house in the north is naturally Xie Shen to live, and the remaining two wing rooms Chen Hu'er and Lu Chongtian also get one each.

The little scholar was naturally very happy. He thought that his young master's mansion was already very generous, but he could see that behind the Xu mansion, he understood that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and a house was more luxurious than a house.

In fact, how did he know that Xu Guan was a famous Qing official, and this house was far worse than the other six chief officials and old scholars of the pavilion.

As for Lu farming, it is not very rare. For him, it is enough to have a bed to sleep on, and other things are superfluous.

However, he said that Xie Shen was tired from traveling all the way, and he lay on the bed with his clothes untied and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long it took, but in his sleep, Xie Shen only felt a faint fragrance coming to his face.

Then a pair of plain hands blindfolded his eyes.

"Guess who I am?"

What a familiar sound......

Xie Shen was too familiar with this voice, but it was difficult to remember it for a while.

Could it be......

"Qianqian?"

Is it a dream or not?

Xie Shen sat up suddenly, and was stunned for a moment when he saw that the eldest lady of the Xu family was really standing in front of him.

"Why do you keep staring at me, look at your mouth as big as a goose egg, it's so ugly."

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "Qianqian, why did you come to Jingshi?" ”

Xu Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "You can come, why can't I come?" ”

"I'm here to go to Beijing to take the exam, and you're here to ......"

"I'm here to see you, my father said, you don't even have a person to take care of in Jingzhong alone, and I can still be your companion when I come."

Xie Shen didn't believe that these words came from Xu Guan's mouth. It must be Miss Xu's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and Mrs. Xu can't help but let her come to Jingshi.

However, doesn't Mr. Xu care about male and female defense at all?

Although Xu Qianqian is counted as Xie Shen's fiancée, she is not married after all, shouldn't the two not see each other according to the feudal etiquette system?

"I'm done, it's time for you to speak. Why do you keep staring at people? ”

"Uh......"

Xie Shen choked for a while, and said embarrassedly: "You are so beautiful." ”
