Chapter 156: The Banquet (2)
When Chen Fangyin and the Dou County Commander finished chatting, Xie Shen came to Elder Chen's side and said with a smile: "The teacher and Lord Dou have a good chat, I don't know what the happy event is. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
This Ren H County ordered Dou Xiao and Chen Fangyin's seats to be quite far away, and Fang Cai was just toasting to Old Master Chen. Therefore, Xie Shen did not deliberately lower his voice, and said in a normal tone.
Chen Fangyin glanced at Xie Shen, and there was a hint that the old man didn't know what your kid was thinking.
"It's not a strange thing, it's that Lord Dou wants to marry the old man."
In-laws?
That's a surprising answer......
But Xie Shen thought about it, and the joints were all opened.
Dou County's order wants to learn from Chen Ti's family, it is definitely not just for the marriage of his children, but the more likely reason is to plan for his own future, right?
After all, Mr. Chen is also a fourth-grade academic official, and his future career is still very smooth, if he has the opportunity to enter the sixth department, it will not be a problem to carry a Dou County order.
But no matter what Dou County Ling said, he was also an official of the imperial court, so it was not good to express his thoughts directly, so he had to use the marriage of his children as a pretext to open this opening.
Of course, Dou County Ling may not have plans for his son, but as Xie Shen analyzed before, Chen Tixue's energy connections in the scientific examination are mostly concentrated in this province, covering the township test, and there is no need to count on the meeting test and the palace test.
If the marriage between the two families can really come to fruition, it will certainly help Dou Gongzi's great cause of the imperial examination, but the help is limited.
Since you can't pass the exam, you can be an alternate official, and the upper limit is very limited, just like the prisoners of the country.
The Dou County Order will be the biggest beneficiary. After all, Dou County Ling is also a professional jinshi, although he has not made any achievements in the past few years, but he is only in his thirties, which is the best age for officials, and he has a promising future.
I didn't expect that this Dou County Order had so many thoughts, and what was even more terrifying was that such thoughts were hidden behind a seemingly insipid sentence.
Xie Shenzhi gasped, unexpectedly that the water in the officialdom was deeper than he imagined.
This Dou Xiao is just a seven-rank county order, and he has such a deep Taoism, like Chen Tixue, Governor Liu, and Deputy Envoy Lu Zhaocha must be even more unfathomable, right?
"What, what do you think about this?"
Seeing Xie Shen's strange expression, Chen Fangyin was also interested for a while, and looked at Xie Shen quite playfully.
"No, nothing ......"
Xie Shenzhi was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand.
Regarding the marriage of the teacher's children, Xie Shen, how to be a student. This kind of thing is too much to say and make a lot of mistakes, but it is better to be dumb again.
"Come, follow the old man to toast Grandpa Liu!"
Chen Fangyin didn't have to chase and fight, but turned around and wanted to take Xie Shen to toast the great eunuch Liu Wen.
Xie Shen was slightly stunned, this Chen Tixue really didn't treat him, a "proud protégé", as an outsider, and even pulled him into such a thing as a toast......
In this regard, Xie Shen is no longer as resistant as before. After all, if you want to fight in the Ming officialdom in the future, you will inevitably deal with eunuchs, and it is good to be familiar with these links earlier.
If you want to enter the center of power in the Ming Dynasty, you have to enter the cabinet from the outer court, if Xie Shen still has the previous attitude of avoiding eunuchs, it is impossible to make great achievements in the officialdom.
If everything goes well, of course, Xie Shen can wait until the end of the big competition in three years, and then slowly cultivate his ability to communicate with the eunuchs when he enters the Hanlin Academy, but then it will be a little late, so it is better to experience it earlier.
"Thank you!"
The most important quality of being an official is not how outstanding the ability is, but having strong communication skills.
In the face of people with different identities saying different things, the eight-sided exquisiteness can be mixed for a long time.
It's not that you have to be flattering, but if you want to get mixed up in this circle, you can't be too stubborn.
Chen Fangyin took the lead, Xie Shen followed, and the two of them walked towards the seat of the first eunuch Liu.
At this moment, Liu Wenzheng was chatting with Governor Liu De, and when he saw Chen Tixue and a little student walking towards him, his eyes narrowed as if he was smiling.
"Liu Gong, this long journey, it should be hard to go to Hangzhou."
Chen Fangyin arched his hand at Liu Wen with laughter, which was regarded as a salute to Eunuch Liu.
is still the same as before, Governor Liu set up a banquet for the new town guard eunuch to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and the banquet was also attended by officials from various departments and yamen in Hangzhou, all of whom were "their own people".
If you have the same interests, you don't have to worry about being stumped behind your back. No one would be stupid enough to blow the news out when they were there. Because everyone has a similar humble attitude in front of Eunuch Liu, no one should look down on anyone! If someone breaks the rules, the first person to be unlucky must be the person who leaked the news.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Fangyin doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with Eunuch Liu's attitude at all, and if he can, he wants to be more "cordial" and pleading.
In comparison, Xie Shen would never be able to accept this attitude. It's not that he's pedantic, it's just that since he is determined to be lofty, the pattern should be bigger.
It's not right to be a clear stream just for the sake of being a clear stream, but it can't be a person who tends to be inflammatory, relying on flattery and eunuchs, right?
Both are too extreme.
"Lord Chen is too polite, our family is also grateful for the grace of God, and we dare not delay on the road. Only then did it go all the way down the canal to Hangzhou. Lord Chen's chess score is very rhymed, and when our family has free time in a few days, we must ask Lord Chen for advice. ”
Eunuch Liu was full of smiles, and his feminine voice was very terrifying, which made Xie Shen subconsciously want to take a step back.
It seems that Elder Chen and this Eunuch Liu did know each other before, and it seems that the relationship is not shallow.
No wonder Chen Fangyin was so excited when he learned that Liu Wen would be appointed as the eunuch of Hangzhou, it seemed that his old man and this eunuch Liu were in the same camp.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......" Chen Fangyin glanced at Xie Shen, and Xie Shen stepped forward and bowed to Liu Wen: "Xiaosheng Yuyao Xie Shen, meet Liu Gong." ”
"Who is this little brother?"
Eunuch Liu didn't pay much attention to Xie Shen on Chen Fangyin's side at first, and only then did he frown and ask after being reminded by Chen Fangyin.
"This virtuous student is Xie Shen, the head of the provincial junior three-yuan case this year, and he is also a student of Chen."
Seeing this, Chen Fangyin hurriedly explained on the side: "This son is brilliantly written, and he is a leader among the new scholars in Yuyao and even Jiangnan literary circles. ”
This evaluation is not low, and Xie Shen is a little embarrassed when he listens to it. Old Master Chen's hat was buttoned down for him, if he didn't behave well in the future, wouldn't it be a slap in his face.
Could it be that Mr. Chen has the talent to know people, and he sees that he is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely do something in the future?
