Chapter 51

(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

Right now he can only use limited resources to fight for more benefits for himself.

What does a good cook look for?It's not about him cooking mountain delicacies and seafood, but about his ability to cook home-cooked dishes!
The same is true for reading imperial examinations!

"Students must prepare for the exam carefully, and live up to the appreciation of the lord."

Xie Shen gave a deep salute to the prefect Yao, which was the last nail on the board.

Prefect Yao yawned sleepily, waved his hands and said, "This prefecture is also a bit sleepy, Mr. Xian, let's step back first. It's good for young people to be aggressive, but they have to judge the situation."

Xie Shen nodded again and sent Yao Zhifu away, only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

Unintentionally staying in the government office, Xie Shen hurried all the way with square steps, when he got out of the government office, he saw Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi rushing forward.

"Brother Shenxian, Fu Zun left you alone, what did you say, is there any embarrassment?"

Wang Shouwen was quite worried about this, Xie Shen was not familiar with the place of birth in Shaoxing City, he was really afraid that Xie Shen would offend Yao Zhifu with his wrong words.

"It's a long story, let's go back and talk."

Xie Shen waved his hand and said quietly.

After the three of them returned to Lu's residence in a carriage, they went straight to Mrs. Ying to express their thanks.Although the lawyer surnamed Xiao didn't play much use, at least the Lu family showed their heart.Xie Shen is most afraid of owing favors to others, but since he has already owed them, he must give thanks.

Mrs. Ying is knowledgeable and has the demeanor of a house mistress. She only chatted with the three of them for a while, and didn't mention much about how the prefect Yao handles the case.

After leaving from Mrs. Ying, the three of them went back to Kuayuan together.

As soon as Xie Shen entered the wing room, he smelled a strange fragrance.

Just as he was wondering, a pair of small hands covered the boy's eyes from behind.

"Young master is back"

"Well, so it's Erya."

Xie Shen moved little Lolita's little hand away, dumbfounded, and said in a deep voice, "What is the smoke in your room? Why is the fragrance so strong?"

After all, Erya is a little lolita. Although she has experienced the pain of losing her father not long ago, she is not depressed because of her cheerful nature.Ever since Xie Shen rescued her and brought her by her side, little Lolita made up her mind to serve Xie Shen well.

"This is the Canaan incense sent by the mistress of the Lu family. It has the effect of refreshing the mind. Young Master, you should prepare carefully for the exam. It must be somewhat useful to light this Canaan incense."

Xie Shenzhi was a little helpless.In fact, he doesn't like burning incense very much, but since he came to Daming, it's better to be free and easy, and it's better to do as the Romans do.

After careful observation, although the little Lolita's skin is darker, her facial features are still very correct.The most important thing is that she is still young and hasn't fully grown, so she is a potential stock.
Er Ya was a little dazed by Xie Shen's constant staring, and tremblingly said: "Young Master, why are you looking at me?"

"Ahem, nothing, nothing."

Xie Shen coughed lightly, waved his hands and said, "I'll go out with Big Brother Wang and the others. If you're tired, you can rest first."

After saying that, Xie Shen walked out of the wing room as if fleeing for his life, and shouted in the yard, after a while, Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi came out one after another.

"Brother Shenxian, why did you call us out when you didn't catch up on sleep in the room?"

Wang Shouwen got up early in the morning and accompanied Xie Shen for a walk around the mansion, so he was a little tired, he was about to take a rest to catch up on sleep when he heard Xie Shen shouting there, naturally he was a little unhappy.

"Why do you need to sleep for a long time when you are alive, and sleep forever after death."

Xie Shen half-jokingly said: "Wouldn't it be a waste of good time to sleep, why don't we go for a walk."

"Why does your statement sound so strange?"

Wang Shouwen scratched his head and said awkwardly.

Xie Pi clapped his hands aside and said, "Good! I agree with Brother Shen's suggestion. Since you are in Shaoxing, you can't miss Shaoxing Nuerhong!"

Xie Shen had heard of the name of Nurhong in later generations, and although he had tasted a few cups, it was after all improved by later generations, and its brewing method was quite different from the ancient method.

Now that he has the opportunity to drink the authentic Ming Dynasty Nurhong, Xie Shen naturally refuses to miss it.

"Well, let's go to the restaurant today and drink a few jars of daughter's red wine, so we won't go home without getting drunk!"

Shaoxing's winemaking industry is extremely developed, resulting in a large number of large and small restaurants in Shaoxing Prefecture, not only high-end restaurants for dignitaries, gentry and celebrities to have a chat, but also streetside wineries for peddlers to rest and warm up.

From the 20-year-old Nuuhong to the most common rice wine, customers can choose the right restaurant for consumption according to their financial situation.

Because today was Wang Shouwen's treat, Xie Shen simply acted as a shopkeeper and followed him to the most famous Zhuangyuan residence in Shaoxing mansion.

It is said that every year the students who come here to drink in the government examination line up to the corner of the street, in order to have a sip of the famous wine here and win the prize.

Even in the Zhuangyuanjuli, the daughter's wine was divided into several grades according to the number of years of wine storage.If you want to drink the 20-year-old Nuuhong, it is impossible not to spend more money.

The three of them went up to the second floor along the wooden ladder, and sat down by the window. Wang Shouwen waved his hand and called for the younger brother to order a few cold dishes and a good 15-year-old daughter's red.

He said with a smile: "The 20-year-old wine is really too expensive. Let's drink the 15-year-old wine."

Xie Shen scolded with a smile: "Compared with Brother Shou, you are far worse than Shouren. Your old Wang's family is not short of money, and your prince still cares about these three melons and two dates?"

Wang Shouwen rolled his eyes after hearing this and said: "Brother Shenxian, it's not that you don't know that my monthly money is only a little, if you want more, you have to go to the housekeeper to spend it, and it will be recorded in the account. If the eldest brother comes back from studying one day and sees me spending money recklessly, he will definitely not forgive me. It's not like you sold "The Story of the Stone" and made a lot of money, hey, a full man doesn't know a hungry man!"

Xie Shen bickered lazily with him and only smiled.However, after Wang Shouwen's reminder, Xie Shen realized that "The Story of the Stone" could also be printed and sold in Shaoxing.After all, Yuyao is a county town, and the market in Fucheng is incomparable. If Xie Shen wants to earn more manuscript remuneration, he must promote "Story of the Stone" to Shaoxing Prefecture or even Hangzhou Prefecture.

But he is not familiar with the place where he was born, so it is really difficult to find a bookstore to negotiate.

Although Yuyao is not far from Shaoxing Mansion, the two places have completely different accents.

Merchants are the most deceitful. If the storekeepers of those bookstores heard Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen's Yuyao accent, they would inevitably lower their prices a lot.

But if this matter is entrusted to someone from the Lu family, firstly, Xie Shen is not very happy, and secondly, he is not at ease.
