The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 425

It has to be said that it is too important for a politician to have a suitable ally.

Many things could be tricky without Gu Dayong.Although it can still be done in the end, the road will be very tortuous, and the energy consumed will be much more.

Although Eunuch Gu is also an eunuch, he is a rare person who understands the general situation.

Cooperating with him, Xie Shen feels relieved and comfortable.

Xie Shen left Gu Dayong's other business and went straight home.

It was still early at this time, and Qianqian and his son Xie Xu took a walk in the yard after dinner.

Seeing Xie Shen came back, the little guy immediately rushed forward and said sweetly, "Daddy!"

Xie Shen's heart warmed, he patted his son's back and said, "What, Xu'er misses Daddy? How is your reading today?"

My son is eight years old this year, and has reached the age of enlightenment.Most people would send their children to study social studies, but the family of the prime minister like Xie Shen naturally invited a teacher to teach their children a small lesson.

The teacher Xie Shen found for his son was none other than Wang Shouren.

Liu Jin's loss of power allowed Wang Shouren, who was already in danger, to stay in the capital. Although there was no obvious promotion, it was much better than the relegation from the capital in the original history.

With such a great Confucian, Xie Shen naturally couldn't let it go, and immediately brought Wang Shouren to his son Xie Xu as a teacher.Wang Shouren was also so happy, so he accepted Xie Xu as a student.

In the Ming Dynasty, the teacher-student relationship was second only to the important relationship between monarch and minister and father and son.

Teachers are divided into seat teachers and industry teachers.

Zuoshi refers to the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and generally refers to the heavyweight examinations such as the provincial examination and the general examination.

A teacher is a teacher who preaches and teaches.

From the point of view of the importance of status, a teacher is more important than a professional teacher, but it is also worthwhile.

A master-level figure like Wang Shouren, who has shaken the past and present, can be a mentor to his son Xie Xu, and he can brag about it for three years
"Father, my son is reading "Spring and Autumn" today, and my son has answered all the questions in the school exam."

The little guy patted his chest proudly and said.

Xie Shen pampered his son's nose and said: "You can't be arrogant, you must know that reading is about mentality. Only when you understand every sentence of the scriptures can you do a good job in learning."

Since Xie Xu was born in the Ming Dynasty, he will naturally take the imperial examination in the future.

With Xie Shen, the father of a cabinet scholar, his road to the imperial examination is bound to be smooth, but because of this, he will definitely be questioned a lot.

If you don't have strong strength and knowledge, you will be dragged down instead.

The best example is Zhang Juzheng, his son is either the champion or the second place, but what happened?The outlook is bleak, and everyone is lost.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has its rules, if you can't adapt to this rule, you will definitely not be able to get ahead.

Xie Xu has a good background, and his starting point will be much higher than that of ordinary people, but whether he can make a difference in the end depends on himself.

"My son knows."

Xie Xu bowed his hands to Xie Shen and said in a deep voice.

Seeing his son looking like a grown-up, Xie Shen just felt like laughing, and took his son's hand and walked into the inner room.

"Let's go, Daddy will tell you about "The Scholars" today."

Late at night.

Xie Shen tucked up the quilt for his son Xie Xu, walked out of the house softly, and went to the courtyard alone to enjoy the moon.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it?"

"Husband, do you want to drink?"

Qianqian walked over, holding a pot of good Nurhong in her hand.

"My lady still understands me."

Xie Shen took the jug with a smile, poured a glass for himself and Qianqian, and said with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, my son is so old."

Qianqian sighed, "Yeah, I still remember the first time I met my husband, he was still a child."

Xie Shen rolled his eyes at her and said, "Isn't it because you are fascinated by you, my lady?"

Qianqian turned her back and said, "If my husband says that again, I'll have a drink alone."

Xie Shen quickly apologized: "It's not good for your husband, don't blame me, okay?"

He hadn't been alone with Qianqian for a long time, and he had a different impulse to talk under the moon this time.

"My lady, there is something I've always wanted to tell you."

Xie Shen smoothed Qianqian's temple hair, his voice full of warmth.

"Ah."

Qianqian responded lightly and lowered her head.

Xie Shen wrapped his wife in his arms, and they hugged each other for a long time.

"In a while, I want to ask His Majesty for a leave of absence and go back to my hometown, Yuyao."

"what?"

Qianqian was obviously taken aback by Xie Shen's decision, and quickly asked, "Why?"

Xie Shen sighed: "Brother is not in good health, he has been coughing for more than a month, I am worried."

"How could it be so serious?"

Qianqian asked worriedly, "Have you seen the doctor?"

"Let's not talk about Yuyao, even the famous doctors in Hangzhou Prefecture have been invited all over, but they just haven't improved."

Thinking of the eldest brother's illness, Xie Shen became worried.

It was only ten days since he received the letter from Yuyao, but according to what the letter said, his eldest brother's illness has lasted for more than a month, and if he continued to cough like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

According to the description of his eldest brother's illness in the letter, Xie Shen naturally thought of tuberculosis.

In this era, the possibility of ordinary people contracting tuberculosis is still very high.

Due to the lack of systematic understanding of this disease and the limited medical environment, many patients died of the disease because of delayed treatment.

If my mother's illness was seen later, or if she hadn't met Li Yanwen, she might have no cure.

"Well, my husband is right. No matter how busy the court affairs are, it is not as important as my brother's body. Besides, with so many important ministers in the six divisions and nine ministers, even if my husband is missing for a few days, the sky will not fall down."

"You, you can comfort people."

Xie Shen scratched Qianqian's nose, and said with a smile, "How come the important matters of the family and the country have become so simple when it comes to your mouth."

"That's the reason. The Ming Dynasty will continue to operate as usual without anyone."

After a short pause, Qianqian continued, "I will accompany my husband back to Yuyao at that time."

"kindness."

After careful calculation, Xie Shen has not returned to his hometown for ten years since he left Yuyao in the ninth year of Hongzhi to go to the capital to participate in the Grand Competition.

His official career was so smooth that he didn't have time to enjoy the glory of returning home in brocade clothes.

As the ancients said, riches and honor do not return to their hometowns, like walking in brocade clothes at night.

In the eyes of the world, one who has achieved fame and wealth should enjoy the envious eyes of neighbors and friends.

Xie Shen didn't intend to show off to the world deliberately, in his opinion, going back to his hometown is a natural thing to do.

Just as Qianqian said, the Ming Dynasty will continue to operate as usual without anyone.It shouldn't have much impact to report to the court for a two or three-month vacation to visit your brother, right?
