Chapter 302 Blind Date?

When Xu Daguan redeemed Gu Hengbo, Shen Yiren was almost in Jiangdu.

He knew in his heart that as long as Li Mu was willing to help, there would be no difficulty in this matter.

In fact, for this matter, Shen Yi has two candidates to choose from, the first is naturally Xu Fu, and the other is Shen Yi's third brother, Shen Ling.

It's just that Shen Yi wants to completely disown himself in this matter, so he can't let the third brother do it, otherwise they are all surnamed Shen, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is no different from Shen Yi himself.

So I can only choose Xu Fu.

There are other advantages to choosing Xu Fu. After this time, Xu Fu will definitely be famous in Jiankang. Others will not only know that he is rich, but also know what an extremely powerful background is behind him!
No matter whether Xu Fu has strength or not, but wearing such a tiger skin, no matter what he does, he will go much more smoothly.

In addition, after Gu Hengbo left Chunyi Tower, Xu Fu should find a house to raise him. In this way, Xiao Xu might be able to rely on such a relationship to get in touch with the palace in the future.

The only thing to pay attention to is whether Xu Fu will skip Shen Yi, the "middleman" in the future, and make a relationship with the palace by himself, and become an imperial merchant.

It's unlikely, but not entirely impossible.

It all depends on Xu Fu's means and ambition, and how Shen Yi handles it.

Jiangdu Mansion is very close to Jiankang, and Shen Yi only has three people and did not bring too much luggage. On the afternoon of the third day, he arrived at Jiangdu City Gate, because he wrote a letter to his family in advance and informed the Jiangdu County Government.

When Xinke retirees return home, the magistrate of the local county government and a group of officials will welcome them at the gate of the city as usual. Firstly, the scholars give each other face. As soon as Guanzheng's carriage arrived at the gate of Jiangdu City, he heard a series of firecrackers coming from inside.

The two maidservants opened the curtain of the car and looked, and saw that there were already a hundred people standing at the city gate of Jiangdu, a small number of them were wearing clothes at the gate of the yamen, and a senior county official in a first-grade official uniform was standing at the end with a smile. noodle.

On both sides of me, a series of firecrackers have already sounded. Before the firecrackers went off, dozens of people shouted in unison.

"Welcome Master Shen, a newly retired scholar, to return to his hometown!"

The two big girls were startled by the voice, and quickly shrank their heads back. Ping'er turned her head and blinked at Guan Zheng, and said, "Master, I'm here to welcome you..."

Qing'er also laughed and said: "It's such a small battle, young master, you are very majestic."

Guanzheng shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The county lord is as old as you, so you can make such a small noise."

Although the local county magistrate wanted to welcome the newly retired scholar back to his hometown, but where is Jiangdu County?It's Jiangdu Prefecture!Who is the county magistrate of Jiangdu?The grandson of the former Prime Minister Zhang Jing!

With that kind of status, that kind of status outside, even if you want to greet him, it's probably just a formality, like that time, it's mainly because Zhang Xianzun has no personal relationship with Guanzheng, that's why he made such a small noise.

Yao Fei coughed, and said to the driver: "Old style, stop by the side of the road."

The handlebars responded, and drove the carriage to the side of the road. Guanzheng jumped into the carriage, straightened his clothes, and then walked towards Yao Fei. After reaching Ziheng, I bowed my hands Said: "Brother."

Ziheng laughed, stretched out his hand to hold Guanzheng's sleeve, and jokingly said, "You are the one to welcome him today, why is there no reason for Master Xinke to salute like you?"

Yao Fei smiled helplessly: "Senior brother, don't make fun of you."

"How is it a joke?"

Ziheng got serious, and said: "Brother Wei was ranked 77th in the Qijia in the scientific examination, and Shen Huita was 71st, which is a bit lower than Brother Wei. It is reasonable for Brother Wei to welcome him."

Yao Fei shook her head: "Brother said that kind of thing, it's just mocking you."

Ziheng was a seven-year retired scholar of Hongde, one subject earlier than Guanzheng.

Although my ranking is indeed slightly higher than Guanzheng, but I don’t have a grandfather who is a prime minister, so I am weaker than anything else. I want to say that a serious two-list retired scholar, even if he is a kind-hearted official, the starting point is lower than Guanzheng The more you know, the less you know.

"Okay, I was joking with you."

Ziheng looked at Guanzheng and said with a smile: "Brother Wei has already ordered someone to hold a banquet in Baiyulou. Tonight, he will call Uncle Shen, without the brothers from the Shen family. Let's go to Baiyulou to have a good meal."

Guanzheng nodded with a smile: "All are under the arrangement of senior brother."

Ziheng pulled Guanzheng's sleeves, and the two walked out of the city side by side. Zhang Xianzun asked as he walked, "Did Shen Hui report to the Ministry of Officials? How long did you stay in Jiankang that time?"

"It has been reported."

Guanzheng raised his eyebrows and said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs probably has to arrange things in one or two months. Brother has been in Jiangdu for a long time, and he will go back in ten days and a half months."

"

Yao Fei said with a smile: "It is reasonable to say that Shen Hui, a Qijia retired soldier, will spend half a year in the eighth part of Zhang Jian, and if he is asked to go back, it is more likely that he will go to Zhang Jian. He also hung out for half a year as a brother. There is nothing important, before going to Dianmao every day, whether to go or not, it doesn't matter."

"At this time, you often drink everywhere, and you don't have Zhang Jian for a few days."

Guanzheng smiled and said: "Brother, he must be the same as others. If the eldest brother does that, he will be dismissed by the bureaucracy within a few days."

"Harmful."

Ziheng turned his head to look at Guanzheng, and said angrily: "The old man has come in, you and Shen Hui also have nothing in common now, you are both trembling, he just wanted to make fun of you with that incident."

Watching politics laughs but speaks.

Zhang Jing has become the second chancellor at such a young age, so his influence outside the court is naturally great. It doesn't matter whether I am in the court or not, Ziheng's grandson will get the care he deserves.

That is to say, as long as that person Ziheng doesn't have enough ability, he can be in the corresponding position, and the risk is that he will have no feelings.

The two brothers and sisters walked side by side, and when they reached the gate of the city, Guan Zheng saw someone outside his family.

Uncle Yao Fei, father Xu Fu, and younger brother Shen Heng.

In front of the eight people were seventy or eighty Shen family members.

Guan Zheng took a deep breath, walked to his family, first saluted his father Xu Fu, then turned his head to bow to Yao Fei, and called "Uncle".

Yao Fei's face was flushed, and she helped Yao Fei up, her face was always depressed.

"Good job Yi'er!"

Xu Fu was so excited that he couldn't help but choke up: "I'm proud of our old Shen family. Before my father received the letter, he had already gone to the ancestral hall to offer incense. Before his grandfather and great-grandfather knew about it, he must have been very happy."

I tugged at Guanzheng, smiling with tears in my eyes: "Yesterday, the clan elders outside the family came to look for Weifu, and told Weifu that they planned to build a memorial archway for him behind the ancestral hall, to stand with his great-grandfather."

"Wait until tomorrow, I will find a portrait painter for my father, and I will hang his portrait outside the ancestral hall in the future!"

Guanzheng Gaomei wryly smiled and said: "Father, it is the Eight Tripod Armor again, so it is necessary to build a memorial archway, as for hanging portraits..."

Guan Zheng felt helpless: "It will be too late to hang up before you die..."

"The archway is going to be erected."

Xu Fu's face was serious, and he said: "The Sun family in the east of the city, after being selected as a Bajia retired soldier, did they also set up a memorial archway? Your son was born as a Qijia retired soldier, how can you start?"

When the father and son were talking, the uncle Shen Zhang coughed and said with a smile: "The old Yiqijia has 71 people, and it is necessary to build a memorial archway, but now there is no other important thing besides the memorial archway." .”

I looked at Guanzheng and said with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, the old one is already 11 years old, and he is still unmarried. Now that the old one has completed his studies, when he returns to his hometown, he can arrange a marriage for the old one. The branches and leaves will bloom early."

The current member of the Shen family stroked his beard on his upper jaw, and said with a smile: "Before the news of the old one's low school came back to Jiangdu, there were already many people visiting the house in the past few days. Today, the old one will go home and have a rest. , Tomorrow my uncle will arrange a few houses for him, he will take a look first to see if there is anyone worthy of his attention."

Hearing Shen Zhang's words, Guan Zheng frowned.

Just as I was about to speak, Xu Fu at the side knew his son's character, grabbed Guan Zheng's sleeve, and said loudly: "Son, I have nothing to say, we'll talk about it when we get home..."
