The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 239

"Grumpy!"

Xu Qianqian raised her eyebrows and said softly, "But I like it."

The atmosphere in the house is quite strange.

Talking about love with Xu Qianqian like this is not Xie Shen's strong point. The young man is better at pointing out the world, arguing economically, reciting poems and composing poems...

However, Xu Qianqian obviously didn't care about being lingering for a while, and said with a smile: "Since you are tired, you should rest first. If it is because of me that you do not do well in the exam, Dad will blame me again."

Hearing this, Xie Shen was already sure that Xu Qianqian came to the capital because of soft-hearted Xu Guan.

But these are obviously not important compared with "Yi Ren Meng Zhong Lai".

Xie Shen responded with a good word, and Xu Qianqian lightly walked out of the room with lotus steps.

The door was gently closed, Xie Shen couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

This kind of feeling has never been felt before, even my mother has never given him this feeling.

Phew, Xu was too tired, Xie Shen fell asleep again unknowingly.

It was already late at night when I woke up again.

Xie Shen adjusted his middle clothes, put on his outer shirt and went to the courtyard to breathe.

It was January at this time, it was the cold spring, Xie Shen couldn't help shivering.

Tsk tsk, the spring day in the capital is indeed much colder than that in Jiangnan.

Xie Shen became interested in holding candles for a night outing, so he pushed open the courtyard door and walked along the long corridor regardless of whether it was evening.

The young man stopped under a thick ginkgo tree, looked at the bright moon and the stars in the bright night sky, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

The same round of bright moon, but he has seen it from two different time and space, and it seems that there is no difference.

Maybe it's just the state of mind.

Xie Shen has already gotten used to the rhythm of life in the Ming Dynasty, and he enjoys the sensory impact brought by this kind of leisure, kindness, respectfulness and frugality.

One year spent similar, each year is different.

At this time, it was not too long before the New Year, and it was nine years since Hongzhi.

Xie Shen is sixteen this year, if he can try to get tribute and pass the imperial examination, he can become a Jinshi with honor.

Scholars at this age can definitely be considered child prodigies.

What about after Jinshi and the first degree?
How can Xie Shen go one step further, soar in the officialdom and realize his ideal in life?

It is unrealistic to rely on Xu Guan.

Xie Shen had already analyzed before that his future father-in-law would at most be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, that is, he had a good name and didn't have much real power.

The most important thing is that Xu Guanhongzhi will retire in 13 years, so there are only four years left.

Can Xie Shen climb to the fourth rank or above in four years?This is unrealistic!

Even if Xie Shen's high school ranks very well and is selected as a good scholar, he will have to go to the Imperial Academy for three years as an apprentice.

Three years later will be the 12th year of Hongzhi, and it will be less than a year since Xu Guan became an official in the 13th year of Hongzhi. What can he do in a year?
No matter how much the emperor attaches importance to Xie Shen, it is impossible to directly promote Xie Shen to be the official of the Six Departments, right?

Moreover, Xu Guan is not surprised that Hongzhi will die in 15 years, and Xie Shencai is really helpless at that time.

To be precise, Xie Shen undoubtedly made a mistake this time when he regards marriage as a business.

Political marriages were very common in the Ming Dynasty, and countless great talents hoped to become the quick son-in-law of the elders, bachelors, officials, and household officials.If you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be easy because the ranking of official positions is so simple.The most important thing is to be able to join the cabinet, or most of the people who are in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs are in their prime years, or the holy family is prosperous.

Most of the chief officials in Qingshui Yamen like the Ministry of Industry are retired.

For a retired chief official, his colleagues may give him a little face, but his influence will attenuate to zero after he retires.

Therefore, if Xie Shen is really thinking about his future, he should fight to be another Mr. Xu, the son-in-law of Mr. Xu Pu and Xu Ge, or choose Liu Jian, a potential stock.Instead of being the son-in-law of Xu Guan, who is about to become an official.

Others may have the possibility of returning to office, but Xu Guan has very little life left, and died three years earlier than Emperor Hongzhi, so there is really no investment value.

But Xie Shen is not someone who only cares about political interests.For him, Qianqian is the most important thing.

Before meeting Qianqian, Xie Shen directly rejected Xu Guan's idea of ​​calling a son-in-law.

He never wanted to exchange any benefits with marriage.

When he ran into Miss Xu in Songjiang Mansion, all his psychological defenses collapsed.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

The familiar voice sounded in my ears again, with a hint of tenderness.

Xie Shen was slightly taken aback, turned around and said, "Woke up again after falling asleep, I might as well come out for a walk."

"It's cold at night, you won't get sick if you wear this spring shirt."

"It's good to be sick, and then I can eat the medicine that Miss Qianqian made herself."

"you……"

Xu Qianqian hesitated to speak, but finally bit her thin lips and said, "Stop talking nonsense, who wants to decoct medicine for you!"

Xie Shen said indifferently: "Miss Qianqian not only wants to decoct medicine for Xiaosheng, but also feed Xiaosheng medicine."

Xu Qianqian made a gesture to hit him, but Xie Shen hurriedly stepped aside, waved his hands and said, "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a woman."

"..."

Xie Shenzhi was speechless, he could only argue: "I was just joking, don't get angry."

Xu Qianqian's eyes seemed to be full of autumn water, and he looked at Xie Shen so bewilderedly.

She naturally knew that she and Xie Shen were a match made in heaven, this person made her uneasy from the first sight, she was sure that Xie Shen was the person she had been looking for all along.

At this time, silence is better than sound, and the two just looked at each other.

After half a cup of tea, Xu Qianqian smiled and said, "What are you doing standing there, idiot?"

Xie Shen scratched his head and said, "Seeing that you are standing too, so..."

"Don't talk any more sweet words, come with me to the house."

Xie Shen hesitated and said: "I'm afraid this is not good, lonely men and widows..."

"What an idiot, you and I have been in the same room in Songjiang Mansion for a long time?"

Xu Qianqian didn't care about it, and walked towards her boudoir first.

Xie Shen had no choice but to sigh and follow.

The two entered the house, Xie Shen closed the door casually and said softly: "Why, are you afraid that someone will hear you say something in the yard?"

"You little enemy, I really owed you in the previous life, and God sent you to collect debts."

"You smell so good..."

"Well, it's so fragrant."

"San Yunxiang?"

"It is a spice prepared according to the ancient method. It is a mixture of three spices, which has a strange feeling."

The two were chatting with each other, feeling that the atmosphere was very awkward.

After a long silence, Xu Qianqian said softly, "Let me take off your shirt for you."

Xie Shen took a step back in fright, quickly waved his hands and said, "What is this for?"

Xu Qianqian gave Xie Shen an angry look and said, "Where did you go, they want to wash your clothes for you."

Xie Shen said suspiciously: "My lake silk spring shirt is newly cut, and it's not dirty."
