The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 373

"Elder Ge loves me. It's just that the seniority of the lower official is still young, so I dare not ask for extravagance."

Xie Shen pushed Liu Jian back with one sentence, embarrassing Mr. Shoufu.

Looking at the young man going away, Liu Jian was in a daze.

He saw in Xie Shen the shadow of his youth, so frivolous, so unruly, so flesh and blood.

In a trance, he just felt as if the ups and downs of the past few decades were all wrong.

After coming out of the palace, Xie Shen went straight back to the residence.

Once at home, Qianqian greeted Xu'er with her arms in her arms.

"Why did the master come back so early today?"

Xie Shen replied with a smile: "I don't have the mind to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to work again after I come back from the palace."

Qianqian wondered: "Master, why did he think of going to face the saint today?"

"Your Majesty summoned you."

Xie Shen didn't want to mention it, and walked into the courtyard with a short step.

Qianqian followed behind with the child in her arms, and said as she walked, "Brother will invite a few friends from the military department to the mansion tonight, and my husband can meet you."

Mentioning this cheap uncle Xie Shen felt dizzy.

It was so hard to get him an opportunity to stay in Beijing to work, so he didn't cherish it so much.

Before people recognize everything, they call their colleagues brothers and sisters, and recognize a bunch of cronies.

Forget it, and drag these colleagues to Xie Shen's mansion, for fear of not knowing that Xie Shen, a younger brother and sister, is the one who exerted all his strength in the foreign inspection?
If I knew it earlier, I should have made up my mind to ask the people in the official department to send my uncle out, so that my ears would be clean.

"I have to go out later, so I won't accompany you. You are welcome to entertain me."

Qianqian also knew that this matter was her brother's fault, so she stopped pressing.

"Don't worry, my husband, I have a sense of proportion."

Sunset and moonrise, starry.

At night, the capital is full of noise.

Daming does not implement a curfew, so the street market is extremely lively after nightfall.

Three young people dressed in Chinese costumes walked together outside Xie's Mansion not far from Donghuamen.There are several guards waiting beside them.

"Jinxiu, why didn't you stay with your siblings in the mansion in the middle of the night, and came to drink with the rest of us."

Wang Shouwen said jokingly.

"Brother Ziwen, don't mention it, it's not my uncle who caused the trouble. He brought a group of colleagues from the Ministry of War to drink in my mansion. If I don't come out, I will be annoyed by them and vomit blood."

Wang Shouwen stuck out his tongue and said, "There's nothing you can do about it, who told you to marry someone else's younger sister."

Xie Pi smiled and said, "Brother Jinxiu did the right thing. Just avoid it, at least let your brother-in-law understand your attitude."

The three of them walked into a restaurant facing the street together, went up to the second floor and found a private room facing the street and sat down.

After casually ordering some food and wine, Wang Shouwen sighed, "Brother Jinxiu, I heard that His Majesty has been a little sick recently."

Xie Shen was slightly taken aback and said: "Brother Ziwen, who told you that I just saw His Majesty in person today, and he doesn't seem to be ill."

Wang Shouwen said embarrassingly: "That's strange. Now the six parts have spread, saying that because His Majesty trusts alchemists and takes pills to prolong life, he often coughs incessantly."

Xie Shen suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

The emperors of all dynasties liked to take elixirs, and the emperor who took the most elixirs in Ming Dynasty was Jiajing Emperor.

But it doesn't mean that other emperors don't take pills.

Take Emperor Hongzhi as an example. During the first half of his reign, he worked hard to govern, and he was simply a wise emperor like Yao and Shun.

But the second half was a little bit worse. Not only did he trust a power eunuch like Li Guang, but he also favored the alchemist's indiscriminate use of pills, which caused his body to be hollowed out.

It can be said that the death of Emperor Hongzhi at a young age has a lot to do with taking elixir.

After all, he had a wife, Empress Zhang, so it would be unreasonable to say that she died because of a womanizer.

But the pill is much more reasonable once it is said.After all, the pills are full of heavy metals.

Others couldn't hide in time, but the Son of Heaven ate desperately, because he would be a ghost if he didn't die.

However, the number and frequency of Emperor Hongzhi's elixir must not keep up with the subsequent Jiajing.But even so, his body couldn't handle it anymore.

According to the original history, Emperor Hongzhi still had six years to live, but Xie Shen didn't know how long the Lord of ZTE could live in this time and space.

Xie Pi sighed and said, "Your Majesty's private affairs should not be commented on by us as courtiers. Brother Ziwen, please stop mentioning it."

Wang Shouwen stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm just talking casually."

"I heard that brother Ziwen is going to marry Cui's daughter?"

Xie Shen deliberately diverted the topic away, and joked with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Shouwen blushed and said, "It's just that my old man is the master. It doesn't matter who you marry, it doesn't matter if you marry Cui or He. As long as you don't let me marry an old woman in her [-]s and [-]s."

Xie Pi burst out laughing: "Brother Ziwen, your request is really not high. I'm afraid you can't find many old ladies with lanterns."

"The eldest daughter of the Cui family looks like a fairy, brother Ziwen is blessed."

Xie Shen did not intend to let Wang Shouwen go easily, and continued.

"What looks like a fairy is just a rumor spread by the world. If you really want to be so beautiful, who will get me?"

Wang Shouwen's words are more or less reasonable.

You must know that in terms of rank, he is only a sixth-rank master, and he is really nothing in the capital where there are so many dignitaries.And his father, Wang Hua, was not a member of the department, so the Wang family was not the first choice in terms of family status.

"Perhaps it was brother Ziwen's talent that impressed the Patriarch of the Cui family."

Xie Shen explained with a smile: "Talent seems ethereal, but it is the most useful thing. With talent, do you still worry about wealth and glory?"

"Jinxiu, stop making fun of me. To be honest, I really don't want to get married so early."

"Why?"

Wang Shouwen is one year older than Xie Shen, and he is twenty this year.

20 years old is definitely considered too old in Daming, if you don't get married again, Mr. Wang will probably have to resort to family law.

"Look at Jinxiu and you'll know."

Wang Shouwen sighed and said: "I don't have any freedom all day long. I have to go home after work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I have to accompany my wife, my concubine and my son. What fun is there?"

puff!
This Wang Shouwen is really playful.

"It's not exactly what Brother Ziwen thought. Is it inconvenient for me to have a drink with you today?"

Wang Shouwen argued: "That's because you are hiding from uncle."

"Let's not talk about other things, Brother Wen will ask me to be the best man on the wedding day."

Xie Shen said lightly.

"Don't worry, a wedding banquet for your kid is indispensable."

Wang Shouwen said depressedly.

The three of them were chatting among themselves when suddenly a group of muscular men rushed in, grabbed a drinker and dragged him out.

Xie Shen frowned instinctively and asked, "Who are you?"

"Jin Yiwei handles the case, don't be so noisy!"

Jin Yiwei?
Why did Jin Yiwei suddenly appear?
"Dare to ask that brother what he did, to bother Jin Yiwei."

"Are you deaf, grandpa, I tell you to mind your own business!"
