Chapter 42 Rushing to the Mansion City
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) )
Xie Pi also said: "There is still a full month before the government examination, and Brother Shen is not just afraid of being afraid of troubles when he sets off so early. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "Since I said that I want to take you to have fun, naturally I can't break my word." If you are tired of staying in this Yuyao City, you might as well go to Fucheng to play. ”
"High, really high. If it weren't for Brother Shenxian's involvement, the Confucian edict would definitely not allow us to go to Fucheng so early. ”
Wang Shouwen is directly a five-body throw in Xie Shen's admiration. As students who have made it to the county examination, Xie Shen certainly has the right to decide when to go to Shaoxing Mansion to take the provincial examination. But they are also students of Sanwei Academy, students of Confucius and Confucius. Confucianism has a habit of organizing students to go to Shaoxing Mansion to take the government examination, which is usually five days before the start of the examination.
If you want to say that this matter can be seen from two angles, on the one hand, Confucius is serious and responsible, and on the other hand, on the contrary, he is a little nosy.
This habit of Confucian teachings lasted for twenty years, and naturally they would not change because of Xie Shen. But Xie Shen pulled out the matter of the trouble, and the Confucian edict only took them to pay attention to the government test, and they were afraid that they would be delayed due to an accident, so naturally they didn't have much to say, so they had to allow them to go in advance.
The three agreed to leave early the next morning, and then went home first.
In the bamboo building, Xie Chen and Shui Yun were peeling water chestnuts, and they were all happy when they saw Xie Shen coming back.
Xie Chen waved at Xie Shen and said, "Xiaolang is back?" Sit down here. ”
Xie Shen scratched his head and said, "What about the eldest brother?" ”
Xie Chen sighed and said, "Your eldest brother wants to follow the caravan to Hangzhou Mansion to sell Yaojiang tea, I'm afraid you have to go to the last month." ”
"Oh."
Xie Shen secretly complained in his heart. It was a coincidence. He wanted to go to Shaoxing Mansion in advance to prepare for the government examination, and the eldest brother also rushed to Hangzhou Mansion to sell tea at this time. In this way, there are only two women in the family, sister-in-law and Shui Yun. Fortunately, the security in Yuyao City is not bad, otherwise Xie Shen is really a little worried.
"Sister-in-law, tomorrow I will go to Fucheng with my classmates to participate in the government exam, you and Shui Yun must take care of each other together."
Xie Chen was slightly stunned, and then said: "Why, isn't the government exam in April, I have to go so early." ”
Xie Shen said lightly: "I'm afraid that I will encounter trouble on the road, so it's better to go to Fucheng earlier, anyway, it's not bad for a few days." ”
With the current economic strength of the Xie family, of course, they would not care about the extra ten days of accommodation, Xie Chen nodded and said: "The slave family understands, Xiaolang, you also have to take care of yourself, and come back early after the exam." ”
Xie Shen has now become the hope of the Xie family, and the Xie Chen family naturally has high hopes for him. Since beating Xie Shen and winning the first place in the county trial, those hooligans and ruffians in the past no longer dared to go to Xie Fang's tea shop to make trouble. And those relatives who had not been in contact with the Xie family for a long time suddenly jumped out of nowhere and rushed to make friends with the Xie family.
It's really in response to the old saying, the poor in the downtown no one asks, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains!
"Sister-in-law, rest assured. I'll take care of myself. ”
Xie Chen's Chong Shui Yun glanced and said, "You go and accompany Xiaolang to pack your bags, and I can peel the rest of the water chestnuts alone." ”
"Hmm." Shui Yun replied lightly, and followed Xie Shen up to the attic.
"Childe, are you really leaving?" The little lady bit her thin lip and said quietly.
Xie Shen only felt funny, spread his hands and said, "It's just that I'm going to Fucheng to participate in the government exam, and it's not that I won't come back, I see it scares you." ”
"That's... Is that really as terrible as Childe said? ”
Shui Yun has been working in Wang's Zhuangzi before, which can be described as a typical door without stepping out. Even if you can hear some rumors about the Japanese Kou, they are all passed on by the servants of the Wang family, and the accuracy of one transmission is naturally not guaranteed. In contrast, she wanted to get information about the Japanese from Xie Shen's mouth.
"These robbers are ruthless and do all kinds of evil, and everywhere they go is scorched earth and full of bones."
When it came to the Japanese Kou, Xie Shen naturally hated itchy, and the green tendons on his clenched fists were exposed.
"That boy must be careful."
Shui Yun's face turned pale for a while. After Xie Shen's description, the widow is completely a villain who does all kinds of evil, and she is really worried about Xie Shen's safety.
"Don't worry, the pressure of Shaoxing Mansion is not great now, if it is in Ningbo Mansion, it is really difficult to say."
If Xie Shen is not mistaken, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, Shaoxing Mansion has not experienced major troubles. Although there are sporadic attacks, they do not pose a major threat after all. Of course, in the Jiajing Dynasty, where the Japanese were most seriously affected, even Shaoxing Mansion was also harassed by the Japanese invaders many times, and the people were miserable.
Because of the existence of the Japanese pirates, the southeast coastal defense requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The Ming court was not wealthy, and in the long run, the treasury bottomed out.
In Xie Shen's view, blindly strictly prohibiting coastal defense cannot eliminate the troubles, after all, the entire southeast coast is an economically rich place, and there are countless businessmen. These merchants could neither set up bazaars nor go to the sea to trade, so their profits were naturally greatly affected. Since they couldn't make money, they simply built a ship and went to sea to become "widows". Since the court did not allow them to do business, they went to rob it!
Therefore, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, especially in the Jiajing Dynasty, many of them were Ming merchants. They eat everything in black and white, burning, killing and looting, and they are worse than real pirates.
Therefore, we must not blindly ban the sea in dealing with the issue of Japanese pirates, and there are still many things that can be mediated. Of course, these things can only be talked about after he has enough authority, and what Xie Shen needs to do now is to take the government exam first.
"I was a little tired, so I went to sleep first. Please help me get dressed, I'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”
Xie Shen smiled faintly and went to rest.
The candle flame flickered, and the little lady Shui Yun wore a thin shirt and silently stored the clothes for the young man.
......
......
Early the next morning, Xie Shen got up cleanly, and after some freshening, he had breakfast with his sisters-in-law Xie Chen and Shui Yun.
After coming to the Ming Dynasty, Xie Shen was carefully taken care of by his eldest brother and sister-in-law. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Although Xie Shen is not the original Xie Shen, after experiencing so many things, he has long regarded his eldest brother and sister-in-law as the closest people. Although this parting was only a short month, Xie Shen was quite reluctant.
After breakfast, Xie Shen said goodbye to his sister-in-law and Shui Yun one by one, and then resolutely turned around and left the bamboo building.
The carriage of the Wang family on the street had been waiting for a long time, Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi sat in the carriage and waved at Xie Shen, the young man looked back at the bamboo building again, and reluctantly jumped into the carriage.
