Chapter 217: The Xu Family's Father and Daughter Who Take Turns in Battle (2)

For Xie Shen, being chased by the daughter of a dignified servant can be regarded as something to brag about. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The most important thing is that he does have a good impression of Qianqian, so his current attitude towards this marriage is also positive.

In the next few days, Xie Shen has been recuperating from his body, and Xu Qianqian has also come to feed him medicine on time, and the two have a very tacit understanding and don't say much.

Others cross, and when they encounter unspeakable things, they always say that everything is in the wine, but Xie Shen is in the medicine, and he doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

When Xie Shen was completely healthy, he was called by Xu Guan to come forward for some temptation.

Xie Shen officially learned that Xu Qianqian was Xu Guan's daughter, and Xu Guan also vaguely expressed his intention to get engaged to Xie Shen.

Xie Shen knew that Elder Xu was taking care of face, and he didn't break it.

The change in Xie Shen's attitude made Xu Guan very happy. Her daughter knows that she will not give up on things that she has made up her mind with Qianqian's temperament.

Xie Shen's every move was naturally in the eyes of Xu Guan, the old father, and he was indeed very satisfied with Xie Shen, the prospective son-in-law.

Xie Shen had expressed resistance before, but he didn't expect that during the recuperation period in the house, getting along with Qianqian day and night would make the young man change his mind.

What made Xu Guan most pleased was that she didn't let her daughter identify herself at first, and Xie Shen's sudden change of attitude was not because of her daughter's identity, but because of her daughter.

Only by marrying can you live a good life.

Xu Guan is a member of the imperial court, but he is also an old father.

He has one of the most important requirements for his son-in-law, that is, to love his daughter-in-law.

Now it seems that Xie Shen is the most suitable person.

Of course, removing the point of hurting his daughter-in-law, Xie Shen's talent, appearance, and conduct are all excellent.

As for the matter of marriage, there is no hurry. After all, Xie Shen was only fourteen years old, and it was not too late for him to reach the age of fifteen after the township examination.

The daughter finally came to Songjiang Mansion from her hometown in Shufu, and Xu Guan naturally wanted to leave her in Songjiang for a few more days.

's own daughter knows that the reason why Qianqian looks arrogant on weekdays is because she looks down on those gentlemen and doesn't want to be a victim of political marriage.

And Xie Shen, a scholar from a poor family, has won a place in the literary circle of Yuyao and even Zhejiang Province with his own efforts, which makes his daughter appreciate it.

Naturally, you don't have to hide it when you meet someone you like, and her daughter's attitude towards Xie Shen is the best proof.

After such an experience, Xie Shen was already the quasi-son-in-law of the Xu family, but after all, it was still an outsider who was not good enough to disturb Mr. Xu's enjoyment of family fun, so he found an excuse to leave.

For Xie Shen, this trip to Songjiang can be described as very fruitful, not only enhancing the relationship with Xu Guan, but also getting a beautiful daughter-in-law.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the ladies were not out of the door, and many members of the court and the central government had political marriages for their children, and the two sides had never even met before marriage.

Xie Shen not only spent many days with his fiancée before marriage, but also let his fiancée feed himself medicine for a few days, a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

Xie Shen and his entourage took a boat from Songjiang Mansion to Jiaxing Mansion, and went south through Hangzhou without stopping to return to Yuyao, Shaoxing.

The first thing I did when I got home was to ask Chen Hu'er to order a banquet and have a good meal.

You have to be reserved about everything you eat in Xu Guanfu, and you have to take into account the image of Confucianism, and the result is naturally that you can't eat anything well.

When he returned home, of course, Xie Shen would no longer worry about his image, and he had a rare mountain to eat and drink.

Wang Shouwen, Xie Pi heard the news of Xie Shen's return to Yuyao, and hurriedly came, and the three friends in the courtyard were so unhappy to get together.

Talking about the rise, Wang Shouwen sighed: "Looking at Brother Shenxian's proud appearance, this daughter of the Xu family must be very agreeable, right?" ”

Xie Shen always felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "How does Brother Shouwen know that Miss Xu is also in Songjiang Mansion?" ”

Wang Shouwen smiled and said, "If Brother Fool had told Brother Xian before, where would Brother Xian go to see Master Xu." You know the hard work of the foolish brother now. ”

Although the result was good, Xie Shen couldn't help but roll his eyes, this Wang Shouwen really acted in a good show with Master Xu.

"Don't talk about this, Brother Shenxian, you came back just in time. The cotton planted on our tidal flats has already been spit out. ”

Wang Shouwen obviously didn't want to continue such an embarrassing topic, so the conversation suddenly changed and turned to the cotton harvest.

"Why is it so fast, can you already pick and harvest flowers?"

Xie Shen frowned and asked casually.

In his impression, the harvest of cotton is generally in September and October, and now it is just September to pick and harvest flowers?

Wang Shouwen pursed his lips and said, "This is a good thing, does Brother Shenxian want to harvest flowers in October?" ”

Xie Pi smiled faintly: "The two elder brothers, don't be funny, let's arrange for the tenant farmers to harvest the flowers first." ”

For Xie Shen, building a dam along the beach in Yuyao to improve the soil and planting cotton is an extremely important attempt. If this attempt is successful, it will be a huge shock to the states and counties along the southeast coast.

If cotton can be planted along the tidal flats, the pressure on farmland will be greatly relieved, and cotton cultivation will achieve a blowout development.

At that time, cotton is likely to surpass silk to become one of the most profitable livelihoods on the southeast coast, and Xie Shen's net worth will naturally skyrocket.

The most important thing is that this is also a matter of merit in the present and benefit in the future.

If cotton planting in tidal flats had occurred hundreds of years earlier, perhaps the cotton textile industry would have risen rapidly.

Hiss, thinking of this, Xie Shen gasped.

As a "little butterfly" who has crossed over, can he really cause a change in history by shaking his wings?

"Brother Shenxian, this time Wu County Lingzhun Bao wants to reward us again, you can go and ask him for personal favors and allow us to plant on a large scale."

Wang Shouwen's words brought Xie Shen back to reality, and the current cultivation of cotton in Yuyao is only a small-scale experiment, and if you want to promote the planting of cotton in Yuyao and even the entire southeast along the beach, you must get the full support of the government.

Sometimes this kind of thing depends not only on manpower and material resources, but also on the attitude of the government.

It is enough to plant cotton in Yuyao and say hello to the Wu County Order, but if you want to plant cotton along the line of Zhejiang Province and Nanzhili, you must contact more important officials at the prefect and governor level.

In the final analysis, this is still a test of the young man's ability to deal with Ming officials.

"Wu County Order, I will find a time to say it, I believe that such a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people will not be refused."

Xie Shen's ambitions are very big, and of course he will not be limited to one county and one government.

But at present, we can only stand firm first and then slowly figure it out, and we must not be in a hurry.

"In addition, it cost a lot of money to build the embankment, and I embezzled all the money directly from the cabinet, Brother Shenxian, you'd better ask the county lord for it."

Xie Shen rolled his eyes and said, "You went to the government to ask for money?" ”

Wang Shouwen said with a smile: "What's this, believe it or not, the county lord must be rushing to allocate the money to you." ”

Xie Shen was puzzled at first, but when he thought about it, he suddenly realized.

"Brother Shouwen means that in this way, the construction of the embankment will become the support provided by the public government?"
