Chapter 677 Double Happiness Comes!

Seeing who and what to say is a necessary skill in the officialdom, and it is a basic skill.

Shen Yi has always mastered and used this skill very well.

Sun Jin smiled brightly at what he said.

Because these five city bureaus along the coast are really related to the future of this purple-clothed eunuch in the inner court, he is naturally extremely concerned about the progress of the city bureau.

After wandering around Langqi Island with Sun Jin for a long time, Master Shen took the purple-clothed eunuch to lunch again. In the afternoon, the two of them once again confirmed the location of the Shibo Department's Yamen.

It is an open space not far from Wei Daying, Fuzhou, and it is also very close to the confluence of the Minjiang River estuary, which is very suitable for building the Shibosi Yamen.

After confirming the plot of land, Shen Yi patted his chest and said: "Eunuch Sun will find someone to lay the foundation tomorrow. I will go to the Yamen of the Fuzhou prefect for this land and ask them to make up a note for you, Eunuch Sun."

Eunuch Sun was very satisfied with this piece of land, and then said with a smile to Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen, you are still a bit too disciplined. We are sent by the imperial court to run errands. Don't say that we fancy a piece of open land, or a house. After it was demolished, no one dared to say anything, let the local yamen deal with the aftermath."

"What note do you want them to approve?"

It has to be said that the people who come out of this palace speak louder.

He was stunned by what Shen Yi said.

Mr. Shen thought that when he was doing things now, he inevitably had some bad bureaucratic habits. He didn't expect that this eunuch Sun respectful in front of him would speak with a bureaucratic air. heavier!

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.

He is an imperial envoy, a senior official.

In fact, there is no need to be so cautious in terms of locality. For example, it was completely unnecessary to ask the Fuzhou magistrate's yamen to approve the land.

He can allocate a piece of land for himself and ask the local government to help with the aftermath.

Even the local yamen can be "demolished"!
It's just that Mr. Shen is still too "honest". In addition, he is the only civil servant in Fuzhou Wei. He said that the local government needs to approve the land, so Xue Wei and others really think that the local government needs to approve the land.

Speaking of which, because of this incident, Shen Yi went to find Cheng Tingzhi, that Cheng Futai, maybe he also said behind his back that Master Shen was pedantic...

Thinking of this, Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said with emotion: "Eunuch Sun has seen the world after all, and Shen has been an official for too short a time, so he doesn't know many things."

Sun Jin bowed slightly to Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen is too humble. What you have done in the past two years has surpassed countless ministers in the court."

The two wentssiped and flattered each other, and then went back to their respective homes.

For the next ten days or so, Shen Yi lived on Langqi Island, taking care of the Fuzhou Guards and at the same time taking care of the Shibo Department's Yamen that was being built.

These two things, to Shen Yi, are actually small things.

But apart from these two small things, he also had to deal with letters from Songjiang, Yueqing, Guangdong, and several generals from Zhangzhou every day, and his life was quite fulfilling.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to mid-April, the tenth year of Hongde.

The weather is getting hotter.

At this time, Shen Yi had lived in Langqi Island for more than half a month.

This morning, Shen Yi got up from his tent and was yawning when Jiang Sheng sent a letter.

A letter from Fuzhou City Chengfutai.

In fact, this is not the first letter from Cheng Tingzhi for more than half a month. Cheng Futai has sent three letters to Shen Yi, all of which asked him to return to Fuzhou for discussion, but the first two letters Shen Yi found reasons to prevaricate and did not go back.

After opening the letter, Shen Yi shook his head helplessly: "Jiang Sheng, go prepare the horse, let's rush back to Fuzhou today."

Seeing Shen Yi's reaction, Jiang Sheng was a little curious, and asked with a smile: "My lord, what can make you rush back to Fuzhou in such a hurry?"

"Cheng Zhongcheng's [-]th birthday."

Shen Yi glanced at Jiang Sheng, a little helpless: "It's only three or four days away, please invite me back to have a meal, I have to give him this face, I have to go no matter what."

Speaking of this, Master Shen's expression was a little strange: "Other officials in the frontier, when they encounter this kind of birthday, wish they could give notice three years in advance. This one is good, and the notice was given three days in advance. The first few letters did not mention it." See mention."

Jiang Sheng thought for a while, then said cautiously: "Is the governor trying to trick you back?"

"That's not so."

Shen Yi stretched his waist and said: "In the future, we still have to communicate, he won't use this kind of thing to deceive me."

As the governor of a province, Cheng Tingzhi didn't need to show special respect to Shen Yi, as long as he treated each other with courtesy.

But his border control is time-sensitive, and he can only do it for six years at most.

Six years later, he was about to retire, so Cheng Tingzhi respected Shen Yi very much, and even had a flattering feeling, hoping that after six years, Shen Yi would be able to protect his children.

Now that he has this motive, he will not deceive people about this kind of thing.

After tidying up his things, Shen Yi called over the hundreds of households who stayed behind in Fuzhouwei.

These hundreds of households followed all the way from Yueqing. They respected Shen Yi very much. After Shen Yi confessed a few words and told them to be optimistic about Fuzhou Wei Daying, he left Fuzhou on horseback with Jiang Sheng and other four or five followers. Wei Daying.

It is worth mentioning that the journey from Langqi Island to Fuzhou involves crossing the river. The horses were rushed to the boat, and the big boat carried them across the river. Don't say hello to Eunuch Sun and the others?"

Shen Yi rubbed the center of his eyebrows, his tone a little helpless.

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot."

He glanced at a follower behind him, and said, "Yuan Zhen, you will go back later and report to Eunuch Sun and the others, saying that I have returned to Fuzhou."

Yuan Zhen, who was from the Anti-Japanese Army, was one of Shen Yi's personal attendants, responsible for protecting Shen Yi's safety. In the past one or two years, as long as Shen Yi was on the coast, he was basically inseparable.

The big but not fat man bowed his head and said, "Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

"Ah."

Master Shen yawned: "Listen clearly to how those father-in-laws replied, and then report it to me in Fuzhou. You can read a little more here. If you can't remember, just write it down."

Several of Shen Yi's followers are basically...prenatal education level.

Even Jiang Sheng, when he first followed Shen Yi, was illiterate.

Up to now, Jiang Sheng has basically learned to read, but it is still difficult for him to write.

But Yuan Zhen was different. When he was a child, he had studied with the private school teacher in the village for several years, and he had no problem reading and writing. It was Shen Yi's followers who had the highest academic qualifications.

Yuan Zhen bowed his head again and said, "This subordinate will remember."

While speaking, the big boat had already landed. After Jiang Sheng went to pay for the boat, everyone led their horses off the boat one after another, leaving only Yuan Zhen alone, and took the boat back.

After crossing the river, the rest of the road is easy to go, but the weather is just right now, neither hot nor cold, Shen Yi was greedy for the scenery while riding a horse, and when he arrived in Fuzhou, it was already late in the afternoon.

Fortunately, a group of them entered the city before the city gate closed.

After entering the city, Shen Yi rode back to Xingyuan.

After arriving at Xingyuan, Master Shen only felt very tired. After he yawned a lot, he walked towards his bedroom: "I'm really tired after driving for a day, I'm going to sleep first. It's nothing serious, don't bother me."

After all, he yawned and walked into the bedroom, closing the door.

Jiang Sheng was also a little tired, but he was responsible for receiving all kinds of letters sent here by the Dibao, so he couldn't fall asleep at this hour, so he could only find a place and squint for a while.

When it was completely dark, a person hurriedly knocked on the door of Xingyuan.

Soon, a letter was delivered to Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng only glanced at the cover, then gritted his teeth decisively, and came to Shen Yi's room door.

He knew that Shen Yi was a little "getting up", but he still had the courage to knock on the door: "My lord, General Xue hastened to report!"

Soon, there was a sound in the room, which should be the sound of Master Shen getting up, but Jiang Sheng waited for a long time before the door slowly opened, and Master Shen, whose eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, took it from Jiang Sheng. The report was written with some resentment in its tone.

"If the fight is ugly, I can't spare him..."

Obviously, Master Shen transferred his anger for getting up to Xue Wei.

But soon, the expression on Shen Yi's face changed from cloudy to sunny.

He put the letter in his sleeve and said with a smile: "Jiang Sheng, go outside to see if you can order a table of wine and food. Master wants to have a drink."

Hearing the words, Jiang Sheng also showed joy on his face. He smiled and cupped his hands to Shen Yi and said, "Congratulations, son. Judging from your reaction, General Xue should have won a great victory."

"It's impossible to talk about a big victory."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "But the situation has finally been opened."

Jiang Sheng turned his head and was about to go down to arrange food and drinks for Shen Yi. Just as he walked to the door, another letter was delivered to the door of Xingyuan.

Jiang Sheng glanced at the envelope, the expression on his face became serious, he trotted all the way, holding the letter in both hands, and handed it to Shen Yi: "My lord, my lord, a letter from Jiankang!"

"Letter from Master Ninth!"

Shen Yi's younger brother, Shen Heng, is the ninth among his peers.

When Master Shen heard the words, he didn't care much at first, but when he took the letter, he suddenly looked up at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng's spine felt chills when he saw him, and he took half a step back: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"What day is it today?"

Jiang Sheng didn't hesitate.

"April nineteenth."

He looked up at the sky and said, "In another hour, he will be twenty."

"April nineteenth..."

Master Shen looked down at the letter in his hand, and couldn't help taking a deep breath.

He looked up at Jiang Sheng again, with a rare tone of nervousness.

"Chunwei... Has Chunwei released the list?"

Jiang Sheng also reacted, and he said happily: "Yes! Young Master, your Chunwei test was released on April [-]th, so it's time for Chunwei to release the list!"

He looked at the letter in Shen Yi's hand, and said happily: "Young master, the letter at this time was sent almost on April [-]th, the ninth master must have won, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to write to you! "

"Take it apart and take a look."

He was a little anxious.

Shen Yi looked at the letter in his hand, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

He and his younger brother, a mother and a compatriot, grew up together dependent on each other since they were young, and the love between them can be imagined.

It is no problem to say that it is one and the same person.

Right now, his mood is surprisingly the same as when he went to the gate of the Gongyuan to watch his announcement three years ago.

Master Shen took a deep breath, and slowly opened the letter.

The content of the letter is not long, only one page, and with Shen Yi's current ability to read documents, he can almost read it with a glance.

However, he read this letter for a long time.

After a long time, Shen Yi folded the letter and stuffed it into the envelope.

Jiang Sheng blinked his eyes: "Young Master, Ninth Young Master..."

"Jiang Sheng."

Shen Yi calmed down, and smiled at Jiang Sheng: "Go get wine and prepare dishes, there are no outsiders today, you can have a drink with me!"

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng knew that the ninth son of his family should have won. He was overjoyed and asked: "Master, the ninth son..."

"I will try fifth."

Master Shen let out a foul breath, his face full of pride.

"I'll try fifth!"
