The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 218 The Xu Family's Father and Daughter Take turns in Battle ([-])
For Xie Shen, being pursued by the dignified servant's daughter is something to brag about.

The most important thing is that he really has a good impression of Qianqian, so his attitude towards this marriage is also positive now.

In the next few days, Xie Shen was resting and recuperating, and Xu Qianqian also came to feed him medicine on time, the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say much.

When others travel through time, when encountering unspeakable things, they always say that everything is in the wine, but Xie Shen's body is in the medicine, and he doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

When Xie Shen was in full health, he was called by Xu Guan to test him out.

Xie Shen officially learned that Xu Qianqian is Xu Guan's daughter, and Xu Guan also concealed the meaning of engagement to Xie Shen.

Xie Shen knew that Mr. Xu was concerned about face, so he didn't point it out.

The change in Xie Shen's attitude made Xu Guan very happy.My daughter knew that she would not give up on things that Qianqian had made up her mind about.

Xie Shen's every move is naturally seen in the eyes of Xu Guan, an old father. He is indeed very satisfied with Xie Shen, his son-in-law.

Xie Shen had expressed his resistance before, but unexpectedly, during his recuperation at home, spending time with Qianqian day and night made the boy change his mind.

What pleased Xu Guan the most was that she didn't ask her daughter to reveal her identity at first, but Xie Shen's sudden change of attitude was not because of her daughter's identity, but because of her daughter.

Marriage is the only way to live a good life.

Xu Guan is a member of the court but also an old father.

He has one of the most important requirements for his son-in-law, and that is to love his wife.

Now it seems that Xie Shen is the most suitable candidate.

Of course, apart from the fact that he loves his wife, Xie Shen's talent, appearance, and conduct are all top-notch.

As for the engagement, there is no rush.After all, Xie Shen was only 14 years old, and it would not be too late to get engaged after he turned fifteen after the provincial examination.

It was not easy for her daughter to come to Songjiang Mansion from her hometown in Shufu, so Xu Guan naturally wanted to keep her in Songjiang for a few more days.

My daughter knew that the reason why Qianqian showed her aloofness on weekdays was because she looked down on those dudes and didn't want to become a victim of political marriage.

And Xie Shen, a scholar from a poor family, has won a place in the literary circles of Yuyao and even Zhejiang Province with his own efforts, which his daughter appreciates.

Naturally, there is no need to hide when you meet someone you love, and your daughter's attitude towards Xie Shen is the best proof.

After such an encounter, Xie Shen is already Xu's son-in-law, but after all, outsiders don't want to disturb Mr. Xu to enjoy the family happiness, so he found an excuse to leave.

For Xie Shen, this trip to Songjiang was fruitful, not only enhanced his relationship with Mr. Xu Guan, but also got a beautiful wife.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the ladies of the family did not go out of the door. Many high officials in the court and the central government married politically for their children, and the two parties did not even meet each other before marriage.

Xie Shen not only spent many days with his fiancée before marriage, but also asked his fiancée to feed him medicine for several days. This blessing has been cultivated in several lifetimes.

Xie Shen and his party took a boat from Songjiang Mansion to Jiaxing Mansion, and went south through Hangzhou to Yuyao, Shaoxing without stopping.

The first thing he did when he got home was to ask Chen Hu'er to have a banquet to have a good meal.

In Xu Guan's mansion, he had to be reserved about everything he ate, in the euphemistic name of taking into account the image of Confucian scholars, but the result was that he couldn't eat anything well.

When he got home, Xie Shen certainly didn't worry about his image any more, he ate and drank a lot of rare food.

Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi rushed over when they heard the news that Xie Shen was returning to Yuyao. The three friends in the courtyard were very happy to be together.

When the chat got heated, Wang Shouwen tutted his tongue and said, "Looking at how proud brother Shen Xian is, this daughter of the Xu family must be very happy, right?"

Xie Shen always felt that something was wrong, and frowned, "How did Brother Shouwen know that Miss Xu is also in Songjiang Mansion?"

Wang Shouwen smiled shyly and said, "If Brother Yu had told Brother Yu before, how could Brother Yu have gone to see Elder Xu? Now you know Brother Yu's painstaking efforts, Brother Yu."

Although the result was good, Xie Shen couldn't help but roll his eyes, this Wang Shouwen really put on a good show with Master Xu.

"Let's not talk about that, Brother Shenxian, you just came back. The cotton we planted on the tidal flats has already been spun."

Obviously, Wang Shouwen didn't want to continue such an embarrassing topic, so the conversation suddenly changed to cotton harvesting.

"Why so fast, are you ready to pick and harvest flowers?"

Xie Shen frowned and asked casually.

In his impression, cotton is usually harvested in September and October, but now it is just September and flowers can be harvested?
Wang Shouwen curled his lips and said, "This is a good thing, does Brother Shenxian want to collect flowers again in October?"

Xie Pi smiled faintly: "You two brothers, please stop teasing. It's better to arrange for the tenant farmers to collect flowers first."

For Xie Shen, building dams on Yuyao's coastal beaches to improve the soil and planting cotton are extremely important attempts.Once this attempt is successful, it will be a huge shock to all states and counties along the southeast coast.

If cotton can be grown on coastal tidal flats, the pressure on farmland will be greatly relieved, and cotton planting will achieve a blowout development.

At that time, cotton is likely to overtake silk and become one of the most profitable businesses on the southeast coast, and Xie Shen's net worth will naturally skyrocket.

Most importantly, this is also a matter of merit in the present and benefit in the future.

Let the cultivation of cotton on tidal flats happen hundreds of years earlier, maybe the cotton textile industry will rise rapidly.

Hiss, thinking of this, Xie Shen gasped.

As a "little butterfly" who came from time travel, could his flapping his wings really change history?

"Brother Shenxian, this time Wu County Magistrate Zhunbao wants to reward us again. You can ask him for favors and allow us to plant on a large scale."

Wang Shouwen's words brought Xie Shen back to reality. At present, cotton planting in Yuyao tidal flats is only a small-scale experiment. If you want to promote cotton planting in Yuyao and even the entire southeast coastal tidal flats, you must get the full support of the government.

This kind of thing sometimes relies not only on manpower and material resources, but the attitude of the government can also play a decisive role.

Planting cotton in Yuyao is enough to say hello to the magistrate of Wu County, but to grow cotton in Zhejiang Province and along the South Zhili line, it is necessary to contact more important officials at the prefect and governor level.

In the final analysis, this still needs to test the boy's ability to deal with Ming officials.

"I will find time to talk to Magistrate Wu. I believe that the county magistrate will not refuse such a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

Xie Shen's ambition is very big, of course it will not be limited to one county and one prefecture.

But right now, we have to establish a firm foothold first, and then slowly figure it out, and we must not rush into trouble.

"In addition, the construction of the embankment cost a lot of money, and I embezzled the money directly from the cabinet. Brother Shen Xian, you'd better ask the county magistrate to ask for it."

Xie Shen rolled his eyes and said, "Are you going to the government to ask for money?"

Wang Shouwen chuckled and said, "What's the matter? Believe it or not, the county magistrate must rush to give you the money."

Xie Shen was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood.

"Brother Shouwen means, in this way, the construction of the embankment becomes the support provided by the public office?"

　ps: Regarding Xu Guan's native place, one said he was from Shufu, Chun'an, and the other said he was from Songjiang.

　　This article uses the former statement, because it shows that Miss Xu ran from Shufu to Songjiang to chase Xie Shen.
