The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 163

It's not that Xie Shen is hypocritical, it's that he really can't accept Ning Yuanwai's "enthusiasm".God knows what this young lady of the Ning family looks like. If she is a loser who is eager to sell, who can Xie Shen turn to for reasoning?

It is true that Yuan Ning's family is rich, but he is a merchant after all.There is a natural gap between scholars and merchants. If Xie Shen wants to mix in the officialdom, marrying a merchant's daughter is really not a good choice.

This circle is like this, extremely exclusive.Regardless of the other things, Xie Shen's background alone is enough for Xie Shen to drink a pot.

If you marry another merchant's daughter, tsk tsk, it's really exciting to think about it
Xie Shen didn't want his official career to turn into hell mode, so he didn't understand Ning Yuanwai's hints at all.

Thinking about it, Mr. Xu Guan was honest, he ran directly from Songjiang mansion to Yuyao to summon his son-in-law, without any concealment.

If there is this current minister of the Ministry of Industry as Lao Taishan, it seems that his career will be smoother, right?
But Xie Shen said goodbye to Ning Yuanwai and returned to the inn alone.

At this time, all the scholars in Yuyao were gathering in Zhang Bugui's room, discussing how the oiran would spend his time in a few days.

Seeing Xie Shen's return, Mr. Zhang took the lead and said, "Brother Shenxian came just in time, let's go to Shaoyaoju to have a drink and ask for credit!"

Xie Shen sighed, "What is there to celebrate?"

Zhang Bugui said with a straight face: "There are too many people to celebrate. Brother Shenxian beat all the heroes in the elegant gathering and made my Yuyao scholar famous. This is the first thing to congratulate. Brother Shenxian wrote a poem for Yuyao Xianming is famous, this is the second thing to congratulate. The two are combined into one, how can we not celebrate it."

Xie Shen was quite helpless in his heart, and said lightly: "Then just ask the shopkeeper to help you buy some food and drink, so you don't have to go to the brothel, right?"

"apathy!"

Zhang Bugui glanced at Xie Shen, and said angrily.

In his eyes, Xie Shen is good everywhere, but he is too forward-looking.It's obviously 13 years old, but it has to think about everything, and the arrangement is tight, so there's no fun in it.

"In a few days, there will be the Oiran Fair, and all the scholars in the city will watch the beauties compete for beauty. Brother Shen Xian, you have agreed. Why, why don't you just go to watch it earlier today?"

"This time, that time."

Xie Shen was still making the final struggle, but Mr. Zhang Bugui obviously didn't intend to give him this chance, so he said to himself: "I know what you are worried about, Brother Shen Xian. This court prohibits officials from prostitutes, but you are not an official yet." .Which rule in my Ming Dynasty stipulates that scholars cannot go to brothels? Besides, if you really become an official, you don’t have to lock yourself in this rule. Not to mention in Hangzhou, it is the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the capital You can't go to every brothel to investigate, right? As long as the disturbance is not too extreme, the inspectors will mostly turn a blind eye."

Zhang Bugui, Mr. Zhang acted like an old man who had experienced it, and taught Xie Shen earnestly, so that he had no choice but to agree.

Anyway, if you don't go to listen to music and drink, you should go to a restaurant.

The world is like this, not what I want.

Xie Shen comforted himself like this, and went straight to Shaoyao Residence surrounded by a group of Yu Yao scholars.

The word Merry is often accompanied by celebrities.But in the Ming Dynasty, these two words may not be easy to use.

First of all, celebrities are not necessarily prominent ministers, and celebrities may not be in office for life.

Even if he really enters the official career, and his private life is seized by his political opponents, he will report and criticize him, and the white will become black.

Xie Shen is not like a son of a family, the imperial examination is the only way up for him, so he will not let himself fall into the vortex of public opinion.This kind of limelight is followed by turmoil, it is better not to come out!
So he really didn't intend to spread any romantic stories in Shaoyaoju.

A group of scholars surrounded Xie Shen and entered the Shaoyao residence, and the old bustard twisted the waist of the water snake and leaned forward.

This old bustard is in her early thirties, the age at which she still has charm.

She chuckled lightly and said: "It's really timely for the young masters to come here, the oiran meeting will be held in a few days, and there are not many customers in the shop right now."

What she meant was that now that the girls are free, they can choose whatever they want as long as they have enough money.

Zhang Bugui is naturally a veteran in Fengyue Field, he chuckled lightly and said, "We only want to see Mrs. Shen."

The old bustard heard the words and said: "That's unfortunate, Mrs. Shen is going to attend the Oiran meeting in a few days, so I can't meet people easily now."

Zhang Bugui sneered in his heart, what kind of oiran is not easy to meet people, but he is just raising his price.

As long as he can afford the money, is there any reason for the bustard to push the guests out?

Zhang Bugui took out some scraps of silver from his purse and stuffed them into the hands of the bustard, and said with a smile on his face: "This is fixed money, please let Mrs. Shen come out and explain. My friends are all famous talents in Yuyao. He is a good match with Mrs. Shen. If we hit it off, there will be no shortage of rewards."

When the old bustard heard the word "reward", her eyes lit up, she immediately changed her attitude, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Mrs. Shen hasn't fallen asleep yet, so I'm going to call her now, everyone, please wait a moment."

Xie Shen thought in his heart that this piece of Master Zhang is indeed a master of sleeping flowers and sleeping willows, which even Wang Shouwen can't compare to.

There is a specialization in the art industry, who said that Mr. Zhang can accomplish nothing?
The old bustard went upstairs not long before turning back and said with a smile: "Ms. Shen, how many people are you going to invite to go up? But Mrs. Shen said, there are at most four people."

Zhang Bugui nodded and said, "It should be like this."

After some discussions among the people, Zhang Bugui, Xie Shen, Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi went upstairs.The rest of the scholars found other girls and chatted about love.

Putting aside the gossip, the old bustard brought four people to Mrs. Shen's boudoir, and said in a harmonious voice: "Young masters, if you need anything, just call the slave's house."

After thanking the madam, Zhang Bugui opened the boudoir door first, and the other three followed.

This boudoir is not big, but it is extremely delicately furnished, there are many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, it can be seen that Mrs. Shen is a talented woman.

Shen Niangzi, a single word for a goose, is a well-known singing girl in Hangzhou Prefecture, and also the number one of Shaoyaoju.

There are countless princes from aristocratic families who come here admiringly, but there are only a few who can really meet Mrs. Shen.

Today, Zhang Bugui was able to successfully enter Mrs. Shen's boudoir not because he gave a lot of money, but because Mrs. Shen heard that they were from Yuyao.

There are too many aristocratic families who can afford it with money, but Mrs. Shen has to look up to it.Although the madam wanted to make money, she didn't want to have a deadlock with Mrs. Shen.After all, this is a cash cow, and it should not be offended unless it is absolutely necessary.

It turned out that Mrs. Shen was originally from Yuyao, but her fate was unfortunate and she came to Hangzhou Mansion to sell herself as a prostitute.

Alone as a stranger in a foreign land, meeting a fellow countryman must have caused some nostalgia for my hometown.
