The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 156: All kinds of attitudes in the banquet ([-])
After Chen Fangyin finished chatting with the county magistrate Dou, Xie Shen leaned over to Elder Chen and said with a smile: "Master and Lord Dou hit it off, I don't know what kind of happy event it is."

Dou Xiao, magistrate of Ren H county, and Chen Fangyin were seated quite far apart, and they were just toasting Mr. Chen.Therefore, Xie Shen did not deliberately lower his voice, and spoke in a normal tone.

Chen Fangyin glanced at Xie Shen, as if the old man didn't know what your kid was thinking.

"It's nothing strange, Master Dou wants to marry this old man."

relatives by marriage?

The answer is surprising enough
But Xie Shen changed his mind, and all the joints were opened.

County magistrate Dou wanted to follow Chen Ti's example in marrying his in-laws. It was definitely not just for the sake of his children's marriage. The more likely reason was to plan for his own future, right?
After all, Mr. Chen is still a fourth-rank academic officer, and his future career will be very smooth. If he has the opportunity to enter the sixth department, it will not be a problem to support the county magistrate Dou.

But County Magistrate Dou is still an official ordered by the court, so it is difficult to express his thoughts directly, so he had to use the marriage of his children as an excuse to open this hole.

Of course, County Magistrate Dou may not have plans for his son, but as Xie Shen analyzed before, most of Chen Tixue's energy contacts in the scientific examination are concentrated in the province, covering the township examination at the top, as for the general examination and palace examination It is hopeless.

If the two marriages can really take place, it will certainly help Mr. Dou's imperial examination career, but the help is limited.

Since you can't pass the test, even if you are a candidate for an official, the upper limit is very limited, just like the supervisor of the Imperial College.

And Dou county magistrate will be the biggest beneficiary.After all, County Magistrate Dou is also a Jinshi from a professional class. Although he has not made any outstanding achievements in the past few years, he is only in his thirties.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate Dou has so much thought, and what is even more frightening is that such thoughts are hidden behind a seemingly ordinary sentence.

Xie Shenzhi took a deep breath, unexpectedly, the water in the officialdom was deeper than he imagined.

This Dou Xiao is only a county magistrate of the seventh grade, but he has such profound morals, like Chen Tixue, Governor Liu, and Deputy Envoy Lu Yacha must be even more unfathomable, right?
"Why, what do you think of this matter?"

Seeing Xie Shen's strange expression, Chen Fangyin became interested for a while, and looked at Xie Shen playfully.

"No, nothing."

Xie Shenzhi was a little embarrassed, and quickly waved his hands.

As for the marriage of the teacher's children, how can Xie Shen, a student, comment.This kind of thing is too much to say and make mistakes, it is better to be a dumb one.

"Come on, follow me to toast Eunuch Liu!"

Chen Fangyin didn't use chasing and beating, but changed the subject and wanted to take Xie Shen to toast the eunuch Liu Wen.

Xie Shen was taken aback for a moment, this Chen Tixue really didn't treat him as an "protégé student" as an outsider, and even dragged him into things like toasting.
Regarding this, Xie Shen is no longer as resistant as before.After all, if you want to hang out in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty in the future, you will inevitably deal with eunuchs, so it is better to get familiar with these links earlier.

If he wanted to enter the power center of Ming Dynasty, he had to go from the outer court to the cabinet. If Xie Shen still kept his previous attitude of avoiding eunuchs, he would not be able to make great achievements in the officialdom.

If all goes well, Xie Shen can of course wait until the end of the competition in three years, and then slowly develop his ability to communicate with eunuchs when he enters the Imperial Academy, but that would be a little late, so it is better to experience it early.

"Thank you, teacher!"

The most important quality of being an official is not how outstanding your ability is, but your strong communication skills.

Facing people with different identities and saying different things, only being slick and slick can last a long time.

This is not to say flattery and flattery, but if you want to keep yourself in this circle, you can't be too stubborn.

Chen Fangyin took the lead, Xie Shen followed, and the two went to the seat of the head eunuch Liu together.

At this moment, Liu Wen was chatting with Governor Liu De, when he saw Chen Tixue and a young student walking towards him, his eyes narrowed into a half-smile.

"Liu Gong, it must have been hard work to come to Hangzhou to take up this post after a long journey."

Chen Fangyin laughed and cupped his hands at Liu Wen, as a salute to Eunuch Liu.

Still what I said before, Governor Liu held a banquet to welcome the new guard eunuch, and all the officials who attended the banquet were officials from various yamen in Hangzhou City, and they were all "our own people".

With the same interests, there is no need to worry about being stumbling behind others.No one would be so stupid as to break the news when he was there.Because everyone has a similar attitude of humility in front of Eunuch Liu, so don't look down on anyone!If someone breaks the rules, the first person to be unlucky must be the person who leaked the news.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Fangyin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his attitude towards Eunuch Liu. If he could, he wanted to be more "friendly".

In comparison, Xie Shen absolutely cannot accept this attitude.It's not that he's pedantic, it's just that since he has high ambitions, he has to open up a bigger picture.

It's wrong to just be a Qingliu, but you can't just become a person who is following the trend and relying on flattering eunuchs and superiors, right?
Both are too extreme.

"Master Chen is too polite. Our family is also grateful for the grace of God. We dare not delay on the way. Then we went straight down the canal to Hangzhou. Master Chen's chess record is very rhyme. When we have free time in a few days, we must ask Chen My lord asks for advice."

Eunuch Liu smiled all over his face, and his feminine voice was so creepy that Xie Shen subconsciously wanted to take a step back.

It seems that Mr. Chen and this eunuch Liu did know each other before, and it seems that the relationship is not shallow.

No wonder Chen Fangyin was so excited when he learned that Liu Wen would be the eunuch guarding Hangzhou. It seemed that he and this eunuch Liu were in the same camp.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Chen Fangyin winked at Xie Shen, and Xie Shen took a step forward to bow to Liu Wen and said, "Xiaosheng Yuyao, Xie Shen, I pay my respects to Liu Gong."

"Who is this little brother?"

Eunuch Liu didn't pay much attention to Xie Shen beside Chen Fangyin at first, but after Chen Fangyin reminded him, he frowned and asked.

"This virtuous student is Xie Shen, the head of this year's triad case in this province, and also a student of Chen."

Seeing this, Chen Fangyin quickly explained to the side: "This son has a brilliant literary talent, and he is a leader among the new scholars in the Yuyao and even Jiangnan literary circles."

This evaluation was not low, and Xie Shen felt a little ashamed when he heard it.Mr. Chen's hat will be buckled from him. If he behaves badly in the future, won't he be slapped in the face of the old man?

Could it be that Mr. Chen has the talent to know people, see that he is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely do a lot in the future?
