The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 79
(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

The four of Xie Shen and his party came back from Shaoxing in a carriage. As soon as they entered Yuyao City, they felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

The once bustling streets are now deserted.That's all, even most of the shops facing the street are closed and the doors and windows are locked.

Wang Shouwen frowned and said, "Brother Shenxian, what's going on? Could it be that Jin Yiwei's people turned around and came to Yuyao?"

Xie Shen put down the curtain and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Then Mr. Qiao was not very domineering when he was in Shaoxing Mansion, and his behavior was very low-key. Even if he came to Yuyao, he would not put on such a big show." formation."

In Xie Shen's impression, Jin Yiwei acted in an extremely low-key manner. After all, what he was doing was shady things. The less people knew about the inside story, the better.

"Let's go back to Fuchu first!"

Wang Shouwen obviously had no idea, and his expression was a little nervous.

Xie Pi on the side nodded and agreed: "We might as well go to Brother Shouwen's house to rest for a while, and ask the servants to go out and inquire about what happened."

"Well, that's fine too."

Xie Shen nodded and agreed to their proposal.

The carriage hurried on the bluestone road, and stopped outside the Wang's house in a short time.

Xie Shen jumped off the carriage first, followed by Wang Shouwen, Xiao Luoli and Xie Pi.

It was noon at this time, but the gate of the Wang family was closed.Wang Shouwen stepped forward to knock on the door impatiently, and after a while, he slowly opened the door one by one, poking out half of his head.

"Three young masters?"

"Open the door!"

Wang Shouwen waved his hand with a rather unhappy expression.

The doorman didn't dare to say anything more, he immediately opened the door and welcomed the four of them in.As for the carriage driver, he was in a hurry to go back to Shaoxing, so he didn't follow into the Wang's mansion.

To Wang Shouwen's surprise, when he was walking towards the inner house, the door said a word: "The eldest young master just returned from Beijing a few days ago, and he is in the study at the moment. Do you want to pay a visit to the third young master?"

Wang Shouren wrote a letter to Yuyao's family after he failed the exam, saying that he would study abroad for three years, but now he returned to Yuyao suddenly, which made people suspicious.

Not only Wang Shouwen was a little dazed, but Xie Shen was completely puzzled.

"Brother Shouwen, since this is the case, let's pay a visit to Brother Shouren first."

"Ah."

Wang Shouwen nodded, then turned around and walked along the Chaoshou corridor to Wang Shouren's study.

The eldest brother is like a father, and now that the old father Wang Hua is an official in Beijing, the real manager of the Wang family is naturally Wang Shouren.When Wang Shouren returned to Yuyao, as a younger brother, Wang Shouwen had to go to see him, otherwise he would have no elder brother and would not be respected by etiquette.

"Ahem, I have to trouble this little brother to take this little lady to rest first."

"Good talk, good talk."

That disciple recognized Xie Shen, so he agreed immediately.On the other hand, the little loli Erya looked at Xie Shen with some reluctance, making the young man very embarrassed.

"You go to rest for a while, I will pick you up in a while."

After speaking, Xie Shen quickly followed Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, and hurried along the Chaoshou corridor.

After passing through a moon gate and bypassing a screen wall, the three of them came to Wang Shouren's study.

Wang Shouwen cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "My elder brother rushed back to Yuyao suddenly for some reason. You guys should talk less for a while. Let me ask you if you have any questions."

After Wang Shouwen finished speaking, he stepped into the study.

On the table in the inner room, Wang Shouren was resting against a stack of books.

After a little thought, Wang Shouwen stepped forward and patted Wang Shouren on the shoulder.

"Brother, I'm back!"

Wang Shouren woke up in a daze, rubbed his sleepy eyes, saw Xie Shen and Xie Pi standing behind Wang Shouwen, and said indifferently: "You guys came back from Shaoxing? How are you? How did you go in the college exam?"

As soon as the hospital examination was mentioned, Wang Shouwen patted his chest proudly and said, "This time, all three of us were on the list in the hospital examination, and we did not disappoint my elder brother."

All three of them have read the annotation notes written by Wang Shouren, and to some extent they can even be said to be Wang Shouren's "students". Wang Shouren was naturally very happy to see the "students" ranked in the college examination.

"By the way, brother Shenxian is the top case again in this court exam. After passing the junior exam, he is afraid that he will become famous in the Yuyao scholar circle."

Although the small three yuan is not as good as the big three yuan in the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination, it is not so easy to get it.Wang Shouren himself has never received this honor, so he still admires Xie Shen.

"Needless to say that your ranking is also at the bottom. You really should learn from Mr. Shen, who is humble and polite, full of poetry and books."

"Brother Shou Ren is over-reputed. The kid is just lucky enough to get this little three yuan in the exam."

Wang Shouren waved his hand and said, "What is good luck? Scholars read Confucian classics and write essays about governing the world. If he hadn't been to other places, Brother Shen Xian would not have been selected as the top case by the great master. "

After a short pause, Wang Shouren continued: "If you have passed the college examination, you have officially obtained the qualifications as a student, and you can go to the county school to study. But you must not be complacent because of this. You must know that the road to the imperial examination is long. Fame as a scholar is just the beginning. After that, you have to study hard in the county school, and pass the annual and scientific examinations as soon as possible, so that you can represent us in Yuyao to participate in the provincial examination in two years. Lost Jingzhou."

Wang Shouren said this with a hint of self-deprecation. After experiencing the failure of the test, Wang Shouren must have mixed feelings in his heart.

"By the way, big brother, why did you suddenly return to Yuyao this time? Didn't you just send home a letter a few days ago saying that you would go on a study tour?"

Not wanting to continue talking about this matter, Wang Shouwen scratched his head and changed the subject.

"It's a long story. My father told me to come back."

Wang Shouren sighed and said, "Your Majesty intends to retry the case of Lu Zhongjing caused by the transport of salt. I'm afraid my uncle will be involved in it. Father asked me to come back to clear up the relationship and see if I can save him from being imprisoned. But this matter is a bit difficult. I heard that the Jinyi Guards in Beijing have been mobilized, and I am afraid that they have already arrived at the Hangzhou Mansion. This time, it is an order from the Commander Mu Binmou himself, so it is naturally His Majesty's intention."

It's up to man to make things happen, but if Wang Shouren doesn't try to rescue his own family members if they are in trouble, then his conscience will definitely be condemned.

Hearing this, Xie Shen was shocked.

Jin Yiwei?
When he was in Shaoxing, he saw Jin Yiwei leave the Lu Mansion with his own eyes. At that time, he only thought that Jin Yiwei had something to do with Lu Yuan, but never thought that Wang Shouren's uncle would also be involved in the case of the salt transport envoy Lu Zhongjing.

"So, Jin Yiwei is really going to Hangzhou Mansion?"

Wang Shouwen widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
