After all, Shen Shuren is still a lowly status, and it is already very good to get the opportunity to have a meal with Yang Ge Lao, and time does not allow him to report too carefully.

Yang Sichang was old and tired, and he was sleepy after eating, so he soon let people send off guests.

When it was over, Shen Shuren seized the last opportunity to explain the direction of his job seeking, and expressed his determination to "contribute to the extermination of Zhang Xianzhong and other southern thieves".

Yang Sichang admired his determination, and took a little tea time to think about it, and finally told him to be at ease.

Even if you are in a hurry to serve the imperial court, you should first buy some logistics civil officials, and if you do have achievements after working for a few months, you will consider promoting him to the front line after the spring of next year.

Shen Shuren sorted out his thoughts and found that it made sense, so he did it.

As a prisoner of the country, he directly donated officials, even if he spent more silver, at best, he would donate an eight-grade petty official, and he couldn't even do a county order, and he could only do the main book and the history at most.

And any thief in the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution is not something that can be solved by the strength of the Ming army of a single prefecture. If a county-level official throws it in, he will find death, and if no one helps him, he may become cannon fodder at any time.

It's better to endure it for a few months, sharpen the knife and not chop the wood.

However, Shen Shuren is thoughtful, and he has always taken one step and three steps. Since he had to go back to Nanjing to buy a logistics officer for a few months, he would quickly sort out the potential risks of this choice.

I don't want to know, after thinking about it for one night, I was really affected by Shen Shuren's anti-epidemic and planned several risks-

If you want to buy a logistics civil official in the Nanzhili area, it will be more or less related to Zhu Dadian, the governor of Caoyun. After all, all the transportation and military guards in Nanzhili and the local system of money and grain collection and auditing officials will be under the control of Zhu Dadian.

In order to run an errand for Yang Sichang before, he also took advantage of the conflict between his father and Zhu Dadian, and Shen Shuren couldn't help but beware of Zhu Dadian designing small shoes for him in the next few months.

Before Shen Shuren finally left Hefei, he asked the relationship to send a message and complained to Yang Sichang about his worries.

Yang Sichang also took responsibility, saying that as long as Shen Shuren did not make mistakes, he would not let Zhu Dadian frame him.

He didn't say this to give Shen Shuren face, but to ensure his prestige. If the people who help him run errands and do things are bullied by other courtiers, then who will work hard for him wholeheartedly in the future?

Historically, the relationship between Yang Sichang and Zhu Dadian was actually not good, although Zhu Dadian didn't care about Yang Sichang's logistics, but he also delayed the military needs of the Anlu Defense Area many times.

Later, Yang Sichang's confidant Shi Kefa in the Anlu Defense Area was suspended from his post because of the death of his elders in the family and his mourning.

After Shi Kefa returned from mourning, Yang Sichang used his energy to promote Shi Kefa to the position of Caoyun Governor of Zhu Dadian, and also took care of the military logistics of the Ming army in the four towns of Jiangbei.

Shen Shuren didn't read the history in his previous life, and he didn't know the trick.

This time, he was purely lucky, stepped on this outlet, and like Shi Kefa, became the beneficiary of the conflict between Yang and Zhu.

……

Shen Shuren only lasted two days before and after Hefei, and then hurried back to Nanjing.

Before leaving, Yang Sichang was too busy to see him again.

It was Corporal Shi Kefa Lixian, who invited him to drink a meal of practice wine, and asked the general soldier Huang Degong to accompany him.

Because of Shen Shuren's reason for coming to Hefei this time, he couldn't put it on the table. Therefore, the small credit of his meritorious service in killing thieves was also handled in the external propaganda to Zuo Zixiong was in charge of the battle, Shi Kefa was in charge of the strategy, and he would find other excuses to reward Shen Shuren in the future.

In order to unify the caliber, Yang Sichang called Shi Kefa and gave a few instructions, but did not explain the reason. It was these few "confessions" that made Shi Kefa feel more and more that Shen Shuren was Yang Ge Lao's secret confidant.

And after in-depth contact, Shi Kefa also found that this young man did have ideas, talents, and some strategies, and the two were completely familiar.

The waterway back to Nanjing from Hefei is downstream, and the speed is much faster than when it came, and it will arrive in three days.

Counting the days, it is only July 26, and there are still four days left for Wu Weiye to go through the formalities.

Wu Weiye read Yang Ge's reply, and naturally did not dare to slack off.

Immediately handled the naturalization of Shen Shuren as a prisoner, and enjoyed all the treatment equivalent to the lifting of people in this autumn.

Shen Shuren secretly asked someone to inquire about the "prison donation" again, and was told not to worry, but to wait for the autumn exam to be completed, and after this year's list of people came out, they would be counted together.

Shen Shuren calculated the time, and it was only a month, so it would be good to take a breath first.

Since the crossing, for more than two months, he has been running around, working on Yang Sichang's layout, and he has no time to rest.

The date of the township test is in late August every year, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As the exam date approached, Zhang Huangyan, Gu Yanwu, and Guizhuang, who were all preparing for the exam, also reduced their entertainment activities. Even if you want to participate in the literary meeting to discuss articles, you are very serious, and you don't even shout a sister who sings.

The location of Nanjing Guozijian and Gongyuan is the Confucius Temple of later generations. Tourists who have been to Nanjing know that it is the most prosperous place on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

But in the last two weeks before the exam, even the painting boat on the Qinhuai River became idle and had no business. The Goolan Green Building on a street by the river is also sparsely populated.

Among Shen Shuren's friends who came to Nanjing together, only Zheng Sen was the same as him, who was regarded as a "guaranteed student" and did not need to review his homework.

Zheng Sen couldn't find anyone else to eat, drink and have fun with, so he suggested that Shen Shuren go to the Qinhuai River for a long time every day, but Shen Shuren politely refused.

In order to do a game before, he owed Chen Yuanyuan a lot of goodwill, and he also bought Dong Xiaowan, these were not cleaned up, and going to Qinhuai River again was purely greedy.

However, he also took the opportunity to chat with Zheng Sen a few times to understand the Zheng family's follow-up reaction. Zheng Sen naturally knew everything about this, saying that his father had sent another messenger to Nanjing a few days ago to learn about his situation.

Knowing that his son was indeed not restricted in Nanjing, and he had made a lot of friends in Guozijian, Zheng Zhilong gradually felt relieved and no longer entangled. This matter is completely exposed.

……

Zheng Sen asked Shen Shuren not to move, so he went to visit the Qinhuai River by himself every day.

Shen Shuren would rather use this half month to exercise well and shoot arrows in the garden to cultivate his mind. He also bought a few good horses with a lot of money, and rode horses outside the city every day.

In the future, I want to be a magistrate in an area where thieves are rampant, and good riding skills are also a life-saving skill.

After practicing riding and archery for five or six days, it was the middle of August in the blink of an eye, and the exam was still in the last ten days.

Early in the morning, after Shen Shuren finished shooting arrows, he took Shen Fu and other family members out of the city to ride horses, and did not return to his residence until evening.

The Shen family's villa in Nanjing was located in Bailuzhou, a concentration of dignitaries' mansions in the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River. The core area is the mansion of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei (a descendant of Xu Da), and other wealthy people also built gardens around this wetland.

When Shen Shuren returned home, he found that there were many people in the house waiting for him.

It turned out that his father, Shen Tingyang, sent two more boats of housekeepers and stewards to serve him.

The leader is Shen Fu's second brother Shen Shou, that is, the one who played the role of Mr. Cheng in the "Dong Family Embroidery Zhuang Case". Compared with his younger brother, Shen Shou has no martial arts at all, and he has never been to the sea, but he is very good at arithmetic and is a good hand at making accounts.

Shen Shuren greeted the stewards and thanked him casually: "My father is too careful, I don't come to Nanjing to study, why use so many people to serve." ”

Shen Shou didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly explained: "The master learned that the young master was going to buy an official after the autumn season, and it may also be the money and grain official who helped Yang Ge Lao run errands, I am afraid that the young master's staff will not be enough to use it, and if something happens, he will send us over to listen to it first." ”

When Shen Shuren just returned to Nanjing from Feifei, he sent a letter to his family, explaining the arrangements discussed with Yang Sichang to his father.

Shen Tingyang knew that his son would soon be able to become an official, so he was naturally in a good mood, so he looked for a capable person to help.

Looking at this posture, if you change to someone else, if you don't embezzle, you will definitely not be able to support so many assistants.

Shen Shuren secretly thought in his heart: That's okay, since we have made up our minds to be an official with money, then implement it to the end, we are for the people of the world! Not subject to Chongzhen's favor!

Shen Shou saw that the young master accepted, and whispered good news: "Young master, the little lady of the Dong family who bought it back that time, since you were transferred to Nanjing because of the case, you are also guilty, and you don't think about tea and dinner, and feel that the young master is trying to save her from the sea of suffering, and the lawsuit caused by mistake."

This time she wrote a letter, begging her lord to let her come. said that she also knows how to write, write, calculate, and weave female red, and she can do things to repay her kindness. The master also approved, so I sent her and the young master's personal maids together.

The lord also said that since you want to be an official, after the official position is confirmed, you can redeem Miss Chen from Kunshan Lixiang Courtyard and send it to you, as long as you are an official and work hard for Yang Ge Lao. ”

After saying these things, Shen Shou also didn't bother anymore, and withdrew with his younger brother Shen Fu, so that the young master could handle the affairs of the inner house.

Shen Shuren was a little surprised at first glance, and then he was relieved.

Dong Bai didn't know his strategy, and thought that he was a lawsuit caused by "heroes saving beauty", and it was normal to be moved.

If you don't move, then it's called heartlessness.

Shen Shuren didn't want to take advantage of others, but he didn't want to explain either. Now that the confidentiality period has not passed, the priorities must be distinguished, and Dong Bai will misunderstand if he wants to misunderstand.

After thinking of a countermeasure, Shen Shuren paced back to the back house for a long time, and saw several maids of Yingying Yanyan pounce on him to ask for warmth.

Especially Qingzhi, the big girl who got through the room, cried even more, and asked the young master again and again if he had suffered in the Nanjing Criminal Department for a while.

"I must have suffered a lot, I have lost so much weight, but I have to make up for it, I feel sorry for the dead." Qingzhi touched his body, which was more than ten pounds thinner than when he was in Suzhou, and tears rained down.

Shen Shuren couldn't help but laugh, and was pampered and relieved: "It's nothing, I am determined to do things for Yang Ge Lao, but now the army is in chaos, I went to Hefei a few days ago and met thieves, but fortunately, the birds of the family are sharp and killed."

Practice riding and archery, so that the body is strong and capable, and you can always have more protection. This is all due to my recent deliberate exercise, and I haven't suffered much. ”

When the maids heard that he also killed the thief with his family, they were even more frightened, and the pear blossoms brought rain.

Dong Bai, who never dared to come up to join in the fun, couldn't help but feel more admiration and guilt when he heard this, walked up to Shen Shuren, and knelt down with a plop.

"Eh, what does that mean?" Shen Shuren hurriedly helped.

Dong Bai solemnly kowtowed: "The young master is all involved in a lawsuit because of the slave family, and even Wu Siye, the eunuch of the country, questioned your qualification to enter prison, in the final analysis, it was because of that." It was the slave family who harmed the young master in danger, and there was no retribution in this life.

However, during the period of filial piety of the slave family, he was unwilling to go against his heart, so he only asked the young master to take the slave family by his side first, do some writing and calculation, weaving and embroidery, and repay the young master's kindness.

In addition, the slave family can be saved by the young master, in the final analysis, they have to thank Sister Yuanyuan for their guidance, and the slave family can't be sorry for Sister Yuanyuan. After the slave family came out of filial piety and Sister Yuanyuan was also redeemed by the young master, the slave family was naturally at the disposal of the young master. ”

This is very humble to say, but there is no choice, Dong Bai is bankrupt and repayable.

Shen Shuren doesn't care, in the future, he may also have some private work to climb science and technology farming, and the women around him who have done some business and know a little common sense of the textile industry, maybe they can use it.

He just thought of a question and reminded: "You want to stay by my side, saying that it is just for writing, arithmetic, weaving and embroidery, but if it spreads, outsiders may not think so, and your filial piety will be in vain." ”

Dong Bai bit his lip fiercely: "The slave family has already thought about it, and begging the young master to declare to the outside world that I am dead, and my parents' names will not be damaged again." From tomorrow, I will change my name to Xiao Wan. ”
