Chapter 166 What's the Enmity?
Xie Huaiyi and Qin Ge are always on the same side, they have always been at odds with Zheng Ge in terms of political views, and Xu Yuanqing is exactly Zheng Ge's fellow.

Xie Chen purposely revealed this relationship because he wanted to use Xie Huaiyi's hand to rectify Xie Xiuwen. He is just a farmer, so he should stay obediently in the sesame-sized place in Gaoyang County. Gan Xiao wants to enter the capital and enter the court, it is simply beyond his control!
After Xie Xiuwen on the other side came home, he asked Fang Hu to inquire about the adoptive stepson of Third Master Xie in the outer city, especially some details of the year, the more detailed the better.

At the same time, Xie Xiuwen asked Xie Lao San who was far away in Gaoyang County to find out which family's child was adopted by the Xie family in Gaoyang.

He wrote down Xie Chen's age and the age he learned so far when he entered Beijing, hoping that Xie Lao San could find some clues as soon as possible.

He had an intuition that this Xie Chen had very strong malice towards him, although he didn't know where this malice came from.

Xie Xiuwen didn't think he knew this Xie Chen, could it be that he had seen him when he was young?
Living together in Gaoyang County, this possibility is also possible.

Xie Chen's face appeared again in Xie Xiuwen's mind, as well as the eyes full of resentment towards him that he accidentally saw, which made him quite puzzled.

The two didn't even know each other before, so where did their hatred come from?

Xie Xiuwen wrote down his feelings today one by one. Xie Lin is a good friend, but unfortunately, if he gets close to the Xie family, they will become enemies sooner or later.

This is not because Xie Xiuwen still misses the grievances of his grandfather's generation, but mainly because Xie Huaiyi's political views are different from his.

After all, Xie Huaiyi was born in a noble family, so most of the time, he still considers the interests of the clan.

In Xie Huaiyi's heart, the interests of the clan are always paramount, not to mention the common people, even the imperial power is inferior to the interests of the clan in his eyes.

If it was the former dynasty, his thinking was not narrow, after all, the royal family of the former dynasty also valued the aristocratic family.

But now it is different.

Since the founding of the country, the emperor Shengzu has always recommended the imperial examination to become an official. Of course, there will also be this official path.

It's just that the consequence of the implementation of the New Deal in the past few decades is that no matter how talented the person elected to be an official, not one person in a hundred can rise to the position.

Most of them are lingering below the fifth-rank officials, or simply working as parent officials in the local area for a lifetime.

Some people are not greedy, even if it is a county magistrate, he is willing to make him grow old safely.

But some people are dissatisfied, always feel that they are unparalleled in talent, but failed in the imperial examination, they want to take the lead, but they are not reused.

Xie Huaiyi is the representative of protecting the interests of the noble family. Since the first emperor, the contest between imperial power and nobles has already begun.

This kind of contest cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, nor is it simply easy to understand who wins and who loses.

After decades of competition, both sides have their own winners and losers.

To say that it has a slight advantage, it should still be the imperial power.

The Holy Patriarch Emperor founded the dynasty and established the country, which is what the people want. At the beginning, he relied on the power of more common people. Today, those generals, counting up to three or four generations, are all from ordinary peasants. Some people's ancestors were from humble origins.

As long as the military power is in hand, then it will always be more confident.

Xie Xiuwen put on a brand new cotton robe and asked Douzi and Fang Hu to go out with him.

Long before leaving for the capital, Xu Yuanqing gave him two addresses and repeatedly reminded him to visit them as soon as possible.

Today is Laba, and it is Xie Xiuwen's second visit to the palace.

Wang Hanlin did not return to Beijing, Xie Xiuwen went to his home this time, more precisely, Xie Xiuwen wanted to visit Wang Hanlin's father, Wang Qinshan.

Wang Qinshan is now an official worshiping the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is a cabinet minister, which shows his status among the officials.

Xie Xiuwen came to see him as a student and junior. Wang Qinshan had some expectations for this young man. After all, it must be something extraordinary that can make both his senior brother and his son full of praise.

Since that Japanese language meeting, Xie Xiuwen's name has also been spread among the nobles in the capital, and they all know that he does not agree with the policy of adding taxes to merchants proposed by Mr. Qin, so many people are now staring at him. What about him?

Some people wanted to teach him a lesson, so that he could make a fool of himself, or even stay away from officialdom completely.

Some people are also thinking of drawing this newly promoted talent to their own faction, maybe it will be of great use in the future.

Others were just watching the fun, just wanting to see if Xie Xieyuan, who was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, could survive in the capital.

Xie Xiuwen just didn't know about all kinds of things like this.

Wang Qinshan was even more satisfied with him when he saw that he could calm down and lived in seclusion all the time.

"Today is Laba. The rule over there is to send some Laba porridge to relatives and friends. The students specially sent some to the husband. They are all warmed with hot water. Would you like to try it?"

Wang Qinshan's interest is quite high, what kind of porridge can't be eaten by a family like him?

However, they still look forward to the Laba porridge in their hometown.

After I took it out and looked at it, I found that it was not too different from what I ate at home, and my expectations dropped a bit, but after I tasted it, I felt that while it was sweet and delicious, it would not make people greasy. No matter how carefully it is tasted, it seems that it still has the taste of medicinal materials.

"Did you put tangerine peel in it?"

"Mr. Hui, it is true that tangerine peel is added. This tangerine peel needs to be soaked for an hour in advance, and then some white antlers on it are scraped off, and then used to cook porridge, and some ingredients in it also need to be prepared according to the temperature of the fire. , put them in order."

This is true, Wang Qinshan also ate a lotus seed, which was a whole when scooped into a spoon, but it became soft and rotten after sipping it, which shows that he had put his heart into it.

"Yes, who made this porridge?"

"It's good if my husband likes it. This porridge is made by my student wife. Because there are two young children in the family, my wife often cooks the porridge to make it softer."

"Haha, yes, yes. You married a good wife!"

This is just polite talk, just listen to it.

Wang Qinshan had been reading for an hour in the study, and he didn't need much for breakfast, so he was indeed a bit hungry at the moment.

The most important thing is that the Laba porridge is cooked to his liking.

If Xie Xiuwen wanted to please him, he wouldn't have brought Laba porridge made with such common ingredients.

"Your teacher has praised you many times in the letter, did you bring the article here today?"

This is exactly the purpose of Xie Xiuwen's trip, he hurriedly bowed and said: "I have brought it, please correct me, sir."
