The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 589
Xie Shen originally planned to take Xie Xu to the county school to let him experience the hardships of studying in the past and sharpen his son's character.

Now Feng Chuan, the school administrator of Zhejiang Province, intends to ask him to move to the county school, so he can persuade the students at the same time.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Xie Shen delivered another speech, finally finished the reception banquet, and returned home under the protection of several guards.

Xie Shen felt a little embarrassed after not stepping into his hometown for a long time.

On the contrary, the eldest brother and sister-in-law came up to greet him kindly when they saw him.

"Xiao Lang, your elder brother has been talking about you these days, but I didn't expect to really talk about you back."

The sister-in-law's eyes are obviously more wrinkled, and her skin is not as compact as it was more than ten years ago.But the kindness between the eyebrows has not changed at all.

Xie Shen still vaguely remembers the scene when he saw his sister-in-law for the first time, that kind smile immediately dispelled his uneasiness about this world.

He truly regards his eldest brother and sister-in-law as family members, not only because of the blood connection, but because of the sincere affection.

The eldest brother Xie Fang is still the same, rubbing his palms and not knowing how to strike up a conversation.

Although Xie Shen is not much different from when he was a child, his status is no longer the same.Xie Shen is no longer the student who went to the county school with a cloth bag on his back, but the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and the pillar of the kingdom of Shangzhu.

The Xie family became the most respected family in Yuyao because of Xie Shen, and Xie Fang's business grew bigger and bigger.

This is the benefit of Xie Shen's rise, how could Xie Fang not know?
He is very grateful to Xie Shen, but he doesn't know how to say it.

"Don't just stand there, welcome Xiao Lang in quickly."

Sister-in-law Xie Chen gave Xie Fang a blank look, and Xie Fang finally came to his senses and said repeatedly: "Look at me, brother, I am really getting more and more confused."

As he spoke, he dragged Xie Shen inside.

The house of Xie's family was bought by Hongzhi in 18 years. It is five deep and has more than [-] rooms.

Even in the whole of Shaoxing, it is enough to be regarded as a mansion.

But no one would question it, because they knew that this house belonged to the Chief Assistant Xie Shen.

Xie Shoufu has done so many good things for the people of Ming Dynasty, his relatives should live in such a house.

The sister-in-law winked at Xie Fang and said, "You stay here with Xiao Lang first, and I'll go cook some dishes."

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Just ask the servants to cook, why do you cook yourself?"

Xie Shen quickly dissuaded him.

"Can servants cook like home? Xiao Lang, it's rare for you to come back once. Isn't it right for sister-in-law to cook two dishes herself?"

After speaking, he ignored Xie Shen's dissuasion and went to Dongchu.

Xie Fang smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law has such a personality."

"Hey, it's all my fault. I haven't been back to my hometown for so many years, and my elder brother and sister-in-law are thinking about it."

"Why do all the family say such out-of-the-way things?"

Xie Fang rubbed his palms together and said, "Besides, Xiao Lang, you are doing things for the imperial court and His Majesty, so how could you be so easily separated. If you can come back and visit us, I will be very satisfied."

Xie Shen couldn't help sobbing a little, no matter what happens, the family will always stand behind you.

Brothers and friends, this is the greatest happiness.

After a short time, my sister-in-law cooked a few home-cooked dishes.

Although Xie Shen just had a banquet, he still had dinner with his wife, son, elder brother and sister-in-law.

These are sister-in-law's specialty dishes, fried pork, dried tofu with bamboo shoots, fried eggs
Xie Shen's taste buds were full of familiar flavors, and tears filled his eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

Xie Fang was a little at a loss.

"Brother, it's okay. I just miss the old days."

"Silly, what is there to miss about the old days?"

Xie Fang laughed and said: "At that time, I couldn't sell the tea for a price, so I went to work in another tea shop, so that I could help you afford Shuxiu. The whole family lived tightly, wishing to break a copper coin in half and spend it. "

Thinking of those days, Xie Fang felt a burst of emotion.

"It's just a feeling. It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Now it's really telling me to go back to that day, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."

The family had a lively meal together, and Xie Shen took his son Xie Xu to study in Yuyao County without caring about resting.

After the two arrived at the county school, Feng Chuan, the Xuezheng, and Chu Ji, the county school's instructor, who had been waiting outside the county school, greeted them.

More than ten or twenty years have passed, and the county school's academic officers have changed over and over, and Xie Shen doesn't know any of them.

But the Zhaobi of the prefectural school has not changed, witnessing the changes of the years.

The two surrounded Xie Shen and his son as they entered the county school and went straight to Minglun Hall.

Because of the greeting in advance, the county students were not studying, but stood in the hall together to welcome Xie Shen.

Xie Shen was slightly displeased: "How can you delay the students' studies just because the official is coming?"

Xuezheng and Jiaoyu hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Xie Shen didn't want to delve into it, so he cleared his throat and said, "Today, the official came to the county school to tell you that you must study hard, strive to get on the list in the township examination as soon as possible, and participate in the competition. If the official asks you why you are studying , you will definitely say that it is to serve the court and His Majesty. But that is not what you really think in your heart. The reason why you have studied hard for decades is to be able to stand out like this official and change the fate of the family. Among you People, there must be many people like me who came from a poor family. Then the imperial examination is the only chance to change your destiny. Therefore, you study not for the court, nor for your majesty, but for yourself."

Xie Shen's phone call made the students look at each other in blank dismay. What does the chief assistant of Xindao mean by these words?Even if you really think so, you don't have to say it.

"The official said these words to tell you that you don't have to hide what you think in your heart. People have desires to be motivated. As long as you can do things that benefit the Ming Dynasty, then you deserve the glory and wealth."

Xie Shen is not a hypocrite, he will not deliberately pretend his thoughts.

He also hopes that these juniors can be a real person like he did back then, instead of rhetoric and trickery.

"My son is about the same age as you. This is how I educated him."

After finishing speaking, Xie Shen turned to his son Xie Xu, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You live your life for yourself. Only when you don't let yourself regret it can life be meaningful."

The Xuezheng and Jiaoyu on the side were stunned.Xie Shen's words completely broke their inherent concepts.

No wonder Xie Ge became famous at such a young age, it turns out he has extraordinary insights.

"Students would like to follow the teachings of Lord Shoufu."

Everyone bowed their hands together and saluted, their eyes full of admiration for Xie Shen.
