The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 128 The Powerful Mr. Xu

(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

No gossip, but the kind and amiable Master Xu Guan came to the front yard in person to accept the visit of Yuyao scholars.

Although Mr. Xu is from Chun'an, he knows quite a few friends from Yuyao.

He knew some of these scholar representatives, and he had more or less friendship with the Xu family.

However, Master Xu obviously didn't intend to continue chatting with them, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he tactfully issued an order to evict them, leaving only Xie Shen behind.

The young man was not surprised by this, after all, Wang Su and even Wang Shouren brothers had already given him air.Even if County Magistrate Wu hadn't come out, he would have come to see Mr. Xu Guanxu.

Xie Shen followed Xu Guan and a group of long followers and servants to the back house, entered the flower hall and saw that Wang's uncles and nephews were there, and bowed their hands one by one to salute.

But Wang Su waved his hand and said, "The right master is Mr. Xu, my nephew, please don't reverse the priority."

Wang Su is obviously in a good mood, and it seems that the influence of the Salt Transport Envoy case on him has basically dissipated.

Xie Shen was also sincerely happy for him.

"Students pay respects to the boss."

Just like what Wang Su said today is Xu Guan, Xie Shen didn't dare to treat him in the slightest, and immediately gave Xu Guan a deep salute.

Xu Guan had long heard Wang Su boasting about Xie Shen, now that he saw Xie Shen himself, he felt that this son was very heroic and definitely not someone in the pool.

"Ah."

Seeing that Xie Shen was still standing, Xu Guan waved his hands and said, "Sit down."

Xie Shen hesitated for a moment, then lifted the hem of his robe and sat on the lower official hat chair.

This was the first time Xie Shen saw Xu Guan, so he was inevitably curious.You must know that Xu Guan was the first senior Beijing official Xie Shen met after he came to the Ming Dynasty.Other officials, such as the governor Liu De, the deputy envoy of the procuratorate Lu Yuan, and the academic officer Chen Fangyin can only be regarded as high-ranking officials.

In addition, Mr. Xu enjoys a high reputation in history and is a veritable water control hero. Given such an opportunity, how could Xie Shen not take a good look at it.

Xie Shen, who was addicted to textual research, looked Xu Guan up and down, and found that the old man was no different from the usual middle-aged man in his fifties, except that he was more neatly dressed and looked more refined.

Xie Shen sighed in his heart, it seems that the idea of ​​being an official and beauty is indeed a fallacy
Apart from suppressing Tan Fang's faction with the help of Mr. Xu's power and finding out who is behind the scenes, Xie Shen naturally has other hopes.

Still the same problem, most of the celebrities and officials he associates with are influential in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are very few officials who have the right to speak in the capital.Liu De, the only governor who had the possibility to serve in Beijing, also offended nobles because of his impartial handling of the case. Although he was not implicated in the salt transportation case and was imprisoned, his future may not be optimistic.

Fame is a thing that has a local usage in one place.

Without the support of the mountain, even if Xie Shen really came to the capital and entered the Imperial Academy, he would not be able to gain a firm footing.

It is said that it is reasonable to plan ahead, Xie Shen thinks.

Xu Guan didn't know that Xie Shen had put so much thought into it in a short period of time, but he just felt that this young man was very suitable as a candidate for his son-in-law
Both sides had their own thoughts, but neither of them wanted to speak first, and in the end Wang Su coughed and said, "Master Xu will stay in Yuyao for a while this time. Ask for advice, but hurry up."

What Wang Su said was to imply that Xie Shen would accompany Xu Guan a lot, and as for asking for advice, writing was just an excuse to deceive others.

Of course Xie Shen also knew the real purpose of Xu Guan's trip, but he had no choice but to agree, "I've remembered what Mr. Wang said."

The more Xu Guan looked at Xie Shen, the more satisfied he was, he waved his hands and said, "It's better to live in the house for a few days. The old man heard that you are good at poetry and prose, so it's time to discuss it."

Hearing this, Xie Shen gasped.This Mr. Xu is not going to come to the real thing, is he?There is no rush to choose a son-in-law. Xie Shen is a person with ideals and pursuits, how can he be easily fettered by the love of his sons and daughters?
"Master Xu doesn't know something. The student has just entered the county school. If he doesn't go to school for a few days, he may cause criticism."

Xie Shen moved out of the county school as a shield, but Mr. Xu Guan seemed to be prepared, and said indifferently: "It's great to go to school, but there is no rush. You can take a few days off."

Xie Shen didn't expect Xu Guan to be so strong, and he couldn't stop complaining in his heart.

Mr. Xu has said everything for this sake, what else can he say?He was hoping to have a good relationship with Xu Guan and let him back him up. If Xu Guan really got angry, his subsequent plans would be in vain.

"Since the boss has an order, I dare not obey."

It is said that distance creates beauty, and Xie Shen is right under Xu Guan's nose, no matter how many advantages he has, he will not be conspicuous, on the contrary, his shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

Xie Shen's heart is bleeding right now.

The Hongzhi Dynasty was already in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the early period, the strict admission system was much looser.As long as the students ask the county school for leave in advance, they can not go to school, so Xie Shen can agree to Xu Guan without hesitation.

Hearing that Xie Shen was going to live in the mansion for a while, Wang Shouwen was the happiest.

"Since that's the case, my nephew will also ask the teacher for leave."

Faced with Wang Shouwen's mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking it's a big deal, Xie Shen couldn't laugh or cry.

"Then trouble Brother Shouwen to send a servant to report to the next family. So that the elder brother and sister-in-law are not worried."

Having just experienced a catastrophe, Shuiyun, Erya, including the eldest brother and sister-in-law must have lingering fears.If Xie Shen suddenly disappeared, they would inevitably be worried.

This short stay will take three to five days without talking, so Xie Shen naturally has to explain the matter clearly.

"Brother Shenxian, you can rest assured. Brother Yu will send someone there in a while. Cough cough, you should have a private chat with Mr. Xu first."

After speaking, Wang Shouwen gave his brother and uncle a wink, and then the three of them left the flower hall together.

Xie Shen secretly scolded Wang Shouwen for being slippery, this time it will be difficult.

If there were many people present, it wouldn't be embarrassing, but right now there are only him and Xu Guan left.
But when Wang Shouwen's uncle and nephew left the flower hall, Wang Su said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and send someone to Xie's house to say something, lest they worry."

Wang Shouwen shook his head and said: "Uncle, don't worry, if Brother Shen Xian's heart knot can be solved this time, other things will not be considered as serious matters."

Naturally, Wang Shouwen knew about Shuiyun being robbed by the villains. He was very dissatisfied with the punishment of the county magistrate Wu. At that time, he suggested that Xie Shen tie up those wicked slaves and torture them for information, but Xie Shen said to keep an eye on those slaves A few evil slaves, wait for Mr. Xu to arrive in Yuyao before taking action.
