The man who was called your side was the housekeeper of the Lu family, he nodded respectfully, extended his arms to Wang Shouwen and said: "My lord, please follow me."

Xie Shen's first impression of the Lu family was good.Although the Lu family is a powerful family and a family of officials, there is a sense of righteousness from top to bottom, and it is not as extravagant and lustful as other powerful families.

The Lu family's mansion is a full five-entry scale, and there are courtyards on both sides.

Since there are almost no people there, the gate of the west courtyard will be opened occasionally when guests visit.When Xie Shen and others entered the courtyard, they found that the courtyard was already full of dust.

The steward of the Lu residence, you, bowed his hands to Wang Shouwen apologetically and said, "My lord, you may have to tidy up for a while. If you don't mind, you can go around first."

Wang Shouwen nodded and said, "Then it will be troublesome."

Xie Shen followed Wang Shouwen out of the Kuayuan, and a Youzhu came into view.Xie Shen took a deep breath and said, "Unexpectedly, there are so many bamboos planted next to this small house. The Patriarch of the Lu family really has a good mood."

Bamboo has always been loved by literati in the past dynasties, and Lu Yuan's ability to plant bamboo all over his mansion is enough to show his extraordinary character.

Taking advantage of the time when the servants of the Lu family were cleaning up the courtyard, Xie Shen, Wang Shouwen, and Xie Pi went out at night holding candles, but it was also a pleasure.

Coming out of the bamboo forest is a pond.The pond is not big, but there are water pavilions and rockeries around it, and the end is to achieve the ultimate in moving and changing scenery.

Xie Shen sighed in his heart, after this kind of official family accumulated the first pot of gold, it continued to develop like a perpetual motion machine.As long as there are no accidents, they can use resources superior to others to create countless Jinshi.

As long as they continue to leave Jinshi, their status as a wealthy family can be maintained, so that they can dominate one side forever.

It is hard to say whether this model is deformed, but it does make many students from humble backgrounds like Xie Shen feel oppressed and unfair.

Maybe only by squeezing into this circle can we enjoy their privileges.

Wang Shouwen sighed: "Unexpectedly, Big Brother Lu is already preparing for the imperial examination. I made a fool of myself just now. I remember that Big Brother Lu didn't do well in the provincial examination, and he was only in the [-]th place. This time he actually stood out in the general examination."

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's the matter, Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. Besides, Shi Wen is too accidental. Maybe the examiners of the township examination don't like his writing style."

This is the shortcoming of the lifelong imperial examination system. A single essay can affect the fate of a person or even a family.If Lu Xiang's performance in the local examination was even worse, he might not be qualified to take the examination, and naturally there would be no future palace examination.

"That's true."

Wang Shouwen sighed and said, "You and Brother Pixian are the top two in the county test, so there is no need to worry about this government test. On the other hand, my knowledge can only be regarded as mediocre. If I fail this time, I really don't know what to do." How to face my father and brother."

The Wang family also passed on poems and books to the family. It would be embarrassing for Wang Shouwen to fail the government examination.But it's obviously useless to worry about these now.

Xie Shen said indifferently: "Isn't there still one month left? You should carefully annotate Zhu Ziji again in Brother Shouren's notes. I don't think it's a big problem."

"Now it seems that's all there is to it."

Xie Pi on the side said: "Brother Shen, I reckon they should have finished packing. We're tired after driving all day today, why don't we go back and rest first."

Xie Shen nodded and said: "Well, let's talk about something tomorrow."

After all, it's not a hotel to stay in. There are always scruples about staying in someone else's house.

When the three of them walked back through the bamboo grove and returned to the Kuayuan, the steward of the Lu Mansion, Guifang, had already ordered someone to tidy up the yard, even the bed quilts in the house were replaced with new ones.

Xie Shenchong bows his hands to thank you.From the young man's point of view, nothing in this world is taken for granted, and there is nothing wrong with being polite.

After you left with a group of servants, Xie Shen discussed with Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi how to allocate the rooms.

In addition to the main house in the north, the entire courtyard also has east and west wing rooms.Xie Shen thought for a while and let Wang Shouwen go to the main house in the north.After all, it was thanks to Wang Shouwen that they were able to live in the Lu Mansion this time, so it was only natural for Wang Shouwen to live in the main house.Xie Shen and Xie Pi lived in the east and west wing rooms respectively.As for the groom from the Wang family who came with the car, he will spend the night in the anteroom for the time being, and will rush back to Yuyao early in the morning.

Silent all night.

The next day, Xie Shen didn't wake up until the sun was high.

Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, who woke up sleepily after washing up, left the Lu residence together.When he first arrived in Shaoxing Mansion, Xie Shen naturally wanted to get acquainted with the city, so he could let go of the matter of reviewing books.

The most conspicuous building in Shaoxing Mansion is naturally the government office.But Xie Shen didn't want to visit the magistrate right now, so he chose to bypass the government office and pass directly through the Town God's Temple.Walking to a dry well, Xie Shen saw more than a dozen ragged ruffians surrounding a young loli, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Brother Shouwen, let's go and have a look."

Wang Shouwen was also warm-hearted, nodded and stepped forward.

"I said Miss Chen, you are very filial to sell yourself to bury your father. We are kind enough to help you, why don't you appreciate it?"

"That's right, you said that you are a woman who shows her face all day long, exposed to wind and rain, what should you do if you encounter bad people."

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If it drags on for a long time, the body will rot. You don't want to be an unfilial daughter, do you?"

These scoundrels kept talking to each other, forcing the little girl surnamed Chen to back away again and again.

At this moment, Xie Shen yelled violently, startling those gangsters.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be a few wild boys. Get out of here before the uncle is angry, otherwise the uncle's fists are not vegetarian."

Xie Shen sneered and said, "It's just a few local gangsters, taking advantage of their numbers and power to bully a weak girl. I don't see how you have the right to shout."

A muscular man with a scar on his face took a step forward, and said in a cold voice: "Boy, you haven't heard of the name 36 Tiangang, have you? There is nothing we can't do in this territory of Shaoxing Prefecture. If you Get out of the way as soon as possible, otherwise if you offend the man, your small body is not enough for the man to punch you."

36 Tiangang?What kind of weird name is this, Xie Shenlang said: "Do you think there is no kingly law in this Shaoxing Mansion, you force girls under the light of day, do you know how to deal with it according to the law of the Ming Dynasty?"

Scarface laughed loudly and said, "You little boy looks like a scholar, so stupid. We force girls? Which eye of yours sees us force girls?"
