The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 194

This is equivalent to sealing off his imperial examination path, and Sun Ruoxu's future is over.

Moreover, according to Wu County Magistrate's intention, he must be held accountable for providing Sun Ruoxu with security for the test participants. Most of these people are members of the Sun family. It seems that Wu County Magistrate is going to tear himself apart from the Sun family!

When a person is in despair, any suffering seems insignificant.

But it was said that Sun Ruoxu, the eldest son of Sun Ruoxu, was dragged to the ground by the left and right yamen servants, and Mozhu Daban added a meal of fried meat on bamboo boards, but he didn't utter many cries of pain.

This surprised the executioner.One must know that a dude like Sun Ruoxu, not to mention being punished, would call out his family background even if he was pricked by a needle. Could it be that this Sun Gongzi was frightened out of his wits just now by the punishment of the magistrate of the county?

After the thirty big boards were beaten, Sun Ruoxu stuck to the ground like a puddle of mud without saying a word.

County Magistrate Wu waved his hand and shouted, "Drag out!"

As for all the villainous slaves in the Sun Mansion, they were all punished as they should be. For a while, the county government was crying for their father and mother, and it was very lively.

If Magistrate Wu's punishment is harsh, it can still be wrong. For example, things like deprivation of scholarly fame and disqualification of examination qualifications should be made by Confucius, and finally the Grand Master will decide.

But after all, the academic officials can't do everything by themselves, so they only have a symbolic look at the reports of the counties before approving them.

As for Kong Jiaoyu, it is natural to say that he will not confront Magistrate Wu.

This matter is that there are some problems in the process, but it does not have much impact on the result.

Even if the Sun family participated in the concert with this point, it would not help.

After handling the case, County Magistrate Wu rarely called Xie Shen to come forward and appreciated his idea of ​​planting cotton on the tidal flat.

Xie Shen couldn't help but startled.

He thought County Magistrate Wu was not very interested in the idea of ​​growing cotton on the tidal flats.Is it possible that Wu County Magistrate also has expert advice behind him?
But no one has tried the technique of growing cotton on the tidal flats throughout the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that there are really psychic people in this world?

Xie Shen thought of the Taoist priest he met in Hangzhou West Lake again, and couldn't help but gasped.

Since even crossing events can happen.
"Xie Xiansheng?"

Seeing that Xie Shen was silent, County Magistrate Wu reminded him softly.

Xie Shen hastily cupped his hands and said, "This method of growing cotton on the tidal flats was a student's accidental idea. As for whether cotton can be grown, we have to wait until September and October."

County magistrate Wu said with a smile: "It is good to have this kind of heart. In ancient times, there was Du Zimei, who wished to have tens of thousands of mansions, to protect the poor in the world. Today, there is Xie Xiansheng, who focuses on growing cotton on the sea flats. It is also a good story to pass on .”

Xie Shen wasn't surprised by the sudden overtures of County Magistrate Wu.

It can only be said that the appearance of Xu Guan and Xu Shilang caused Wu County Magistrate's attitude to waver, and finally turned to his side.

Although County Magistrate Wu had a smile on his face, he was also very helpless in his heart.

Although Eunuch Li was favored, he was an eunuch after all. If he bowed his eyebrows to show his favor to an eunuch, he would be despised and cast aside by the civil servants.

As for Mr. Xu Guanxu, who is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is a big boss of the six departments. Although he is not as good as the Qingliu Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, he is still a leader of civil servants.Magistrate Wu is still young and still wants to climb up the ladder, so it is absolutely impossible to offend Xu Guan.

What's more, there are still rumors in the market that Mr. Xu came to Yuyao specially to inspect Xie Shen, and wanted to call the young man as his son-in-law.

If this rumor is true, Xie Shenzhen may reach the sky in one step.

There are completely two situations between someone in the court and no one in the court. In addition, Xie Shen came from a poor family. If there is no one to help him, it is difficult to pass the Jinshi examination.Even if he really passed the Jinshi examination, it would be difficult to stay in the capital.

If a county magistrate is allowed outside, the future is still bleak.

But if Xie Shen really made a marriage contract with the Xu family, the prospect would be completely different.Even if Xie Shen didn't perform well in his senior year, he might get preferential treatment and get into the core department of Six Departments during the selection of officials.

There is a saying, "Don't bully young people and be poor." County magistrate Wu was secretly annoyed when he thought about it.If he had clearly supported Xie Shen and severely punished Eunuch Li's adopted son at the beginning, there would be so many things behind.

But now that the deal is done, Magistrate Wu can only try his best to mend the relationship with Xie Shen.

Punishment of Sun Ruoxu can be regarded as a favor sold to Xie Shen by County Magistrate Wu.

As for the cultivation of cotton on the tidal flats, County Magistrate Wu didn't think it mattered.Anyway, it will not take up the cultivated land. If it is really planted into cotton, it will be a political achievement for him.If not, there is no real loss.

Of course, Xie Shen didn't know what County Magistrate Wu was thinking, so he cupped his hands and said, "It's getting late today, so the students won't bother the county magistrate."

After going through all these things, Xie Shen was naturally exhausted, so he took the initiative to leave.

County Magistrate Wu nodded and said, "Alright, this county happens to be discussing business matters with Pei Qianhu."

Xie Shen rushed to County Magistrate Wu and Pei Qianhu one by one, and then left the county government office.

It was already evening when the young man returned home, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw that the yard was crowded with people.

Xie Shen walked quickly to his eldest brother Xie Fang and asked, "Brother, who are these people?"

Xie Fang sighed and said, "These are your clan uncles and clan cousins."

Clan uncle?family cousin?
Xie Shen was stunned, not knowing what to say at all.

In his impression, or the original Xie Shen's impression, there is no memory of these clan uncles and clan cousins ​​at all.

"Ahem, our family was originally a tea farmer who planted tea in Juyu Mountain. There were more than a dozen uncles and brothers. I was young and energetic at the time, unwilling to live in the mountains all my life, so I came to Yuyao City alone to sell tea."

Xie Fang seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the courtyard was a bit awkward, so he quickly explained.

But Xie Shen felt that this explanation was very far-fetched.

With elder brother Xie Fang's honest nature, being a tea farmer and honestly growing tea should be his favorite life.

He would not have given up this life if he had not been ostracized.

Xie Fang is naturally aware of his younger brother's temperament, so he quickly pulled Xie Shen aside and said with a bitter face: "Xiao Lang, you must never ask again. The reason why the elder brother didn't tell you about the family affairs before is because he didn't want to let you know." You delayed studying. You must not blame the elder brother."

Xie Shen knew that there must be something hidden in this, otherwise why would there be so many clan brothers and uncles suddenly appearing?
"Brother, how can I blame you. But why did these relatives come here?"

Xie Fang sighed and said: "It's a long story, don't ask me now, wait for Brother Wei to tell you slowly."

Xie Shen saw that his elder brother was hesitating, so he had already made a good guess about the matter.

He is not the previous Xie Shen who has never seen the world, Xie Shen even has more experience than his elder brother Xie Fang in the two lives.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, no one knows you in the busy city, but if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains.
