The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 587 Returning Home ([-])

After Xie Shen returned home, he didn't go back to his room immediately, but went to supervise his son Xie Xu's homework.

Now that Xie Xu is fourteen, he looks like a grown-up.

Seeing his father coming, Xie Xu immediately stood up to greet him.

He bowed respectfully to Xie Shen and said, "My son greets my lord father."

Xie Shen raised his hand in relief and said, "Well, how is your reading going?"

Xie Xu stood with his hands tied and said, "Reporting to Father, my son is reviewing "Spring and Autumn". There are some places in it that I don't understand thoroughly, so I will study it combined with the annotations."

Xie Xu has already obtained the honor of a scholar, and next year he will take the provincial examination and if all goes well, he will become a Juren.Although he was not as famous as Xie Shen at a young age, he had a very high start.

Although the New Deal implemented by Xie Shen is very helpful in balancing the status of scholars, merchants, craftsmen, and soldiers, the status of scholars is still the highest at this stage.If you want to be a high-ranking official, you still have to take the road of imperial examination.

My son is talented and intelligent, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a Jinshi.But Xie Shen didn't want to put too much pressure on his son, just let nature take its course.

"Clean up and go back home with my father in a few days."

"My lord father is going back home?"

Xie Xu was obviously surprised.Now that Xie Shen is the chief assistant of the cabinet, there are countless government affairs that need to be handled by him, can he really get away?

"Silly boy, I am not the only bachelor in the cabinet. With Gu Jiuhe here, I am at ease."

"The child has no other intentions, but it is up to the father to make the decision."

The reason why Xie Shen chose to return home at this time was also considered.Xie Xu will take the provincial examination next year, and the next year will take the examination. I am afraid that there will be no time to join together.

Now I return to my hometown to stay for a few months, and I can still have half a year to prepare for the rural examination when I return to Beijing, so I won't delay my career.

Xie Xu is different from Xie Shen. He grew up in the capital, and he doesn't have much impression and affection for his hometown Yuyao.

Xie Shen felt that it was necessary for his son to experience the customs and customs of his hometown, so that he could subconsciously regard himself as a Yuyao native.

As for Xie Shen himself, he misses his eldest brother and sister-in-law a little bit.

People are like this, the longer you leave, the more nostalgic you are for the people and things in your hometown, and you always want to reminisce.

In addition, Xie Shen has now been named the Shangzhu Kingdom, which can be said to have reached the pinnacle of his life. At this time, returning to his hometown is also in line with the so-called traditional values ​​and success.

Big brother, sister-in-law, relatives and clansmen will also feel very face-saving, and the Xie family's local prestige in Yuyao will also be raised to the point where it cannot be added.

As for Qianqian, Xie Shen felt that she would definitely not refuse.

Qianqian has been obedient to him all these years, and he will definitely follow Qianqian all the way back to Yu Yao.

Xie Shen will also bring Erya and Shuiyun with him.They are all from Yuyao, so they miss their hometown very much.There is no chance to go back to my hometown on weekdays, so I just took this opportunity to go home and have a look.

"You continue to study hard, and go to accompany your mother for your father."

"Follow your father's teachings."

Leaving his son's study room and returning to Qianqian's room, Xie Shen tried to walk lightly to surprise Qianqian.

These days he is busy with business, and sometimes he even sleeps directly in the cabinet on duty. He rarely has time to go home, but he has neglected Qianqian, and today is just a good time to make up for it.

Coming behind his wife, Xie Shen coughed and said, "What are you embroidering, duck?"

"What, that's a mandarin duck, okay? You're making fun of him again!"

Turning around and seeing her husband's smirk, Qianqian immediately became angry and punched Xie Shen's chest with a fist.

"You still know how to come back, why don't you die outside? Let him stay alone all day, you know how lonely he is."

Xie Shen hugged Qianqian into his arms, exhaled softly and said, "Aren't you here to apologize for my husband?"

The hot breath just brushed against Qianqian's ear, causing her ears to have hot flashes, and she was almost fascinated.

Therefore, although his mouth was still unforgiving, his tone was obviously softened a lot.

"Who wants to believe your lies, I'm afraid you're messing around outside again?"

Xie Shen hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "There is absolutely no such thing, if there is a lie, the sky will be struck with thunder."

Qianqian quickly put her hand in front of Xie Shen's mouth and said, "What nonsense."

"Madam, do you believe me?"

"Yeah." Qianqian lowered her head, pursed her lips and said, "But you have to promise to go home and see more in the future. No matter how busy the state affairs are, it's not as important as family members."

Xie Shen smiled noncommittally and said: "In order to compensate Madam, I decided to tell you a piece of good news."

Qianqian was overjoyed when she heard the words, but then her expression darkened and she said, "I don't want rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry."

Xie Shen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's not those. My husband is going to ask His Majesty for three months' leave, and go back to my hometown to rest for a while."

"what?"

Qianqian couldn't believe her ears.

Xie Shen is going on leave for three months?Isn't the sun coming out from the west?This is a person who cherishes time like gold, and he can't wait to spend all his time on handling government affairs.

Xie Shen explained with a smile: "A husband is also a body of flesh and blood, it is impossible to keep spinning without rest."

"Hate!"

Qianqian punched Xie Shen in the chest again.

"Then we must bring Shuiyun and Erya back to Yuyao. They haven't been back for a long time."

Xie Shen nodded gratifiedly and said: "My husband also has the same intention, the lady is really becoming more and more like a big woman."

Qianqian snorted and said, "It's not because of you, stop flattering me, it's useless."

"My lady, I'm going back to Yuyao this time to be my husband and I'm going to take Xu'er to the county school where I studied at that time. I hope it can inspire him."

Qianqian nodded and said: "Yes, although Xu'er studied hard, she was born in a wealthy family, and her temperament is still too weak. Let him see the difficult conditions of her husband's study at that time so that he can improve."

Xie Shen said comfortingly: "My wife is the one who knows me."

After all, Xie Xu was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, a pure second-generation official and rich second-generation.It is completely different from the basic resources of a poor family like Xie Shen.

Although Xie Xu is also very knowledgeable and courteous, his temper is indeed a problem.

If you want to succeed in the future, you must have a strong character.

Xie Shen hoped that this trip would impress Xie Xu, then his goal would be achieved.

"Xu'er is talented, intelligent, and hardworking. He is very hopeful for an official position in the future. As a husband, I also hope that he can inherit the mantle of my husband."

Xie Shen had to admit that the implementation of the New Deal required the cooperation of the monarch and his ministers.

There is naturally no problem between him and Zhu Houzhao.But what about a hundred years from now?

Can the prince Zhu Zaitang and Xie Xu still trust each other like their fathers did?

If not, the New Deal may be in vain.

This is also what Xie Shen is most worried about.His next major task is to let Zhu Zaitang and Xie Xu develop a relationship so as to lay the foundation for the continuation of the New Deal.
