Chapter 1073: Respect (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Xie Qian took Ma Wensheng into the palace to see the emperor, and implored Zhu Youzhu to order Shen Xi to stay in Xuanfu Town, but Emperor Hongzhi refused to give him a meeting on the grounds that he was in poor health and needed to recuperate, and when Xiao Jing went out of the Qianqing Palace to explain the situation to the two, Xie Qian didn't know what the emperor meant.

"Yu Qiao, don't be careful, Shen Xi led the troops to Taiyuan Town, it is a good thing, there are a lot of people in the 6,000 Beijing camp, Shen Xi only led hundreds of soldiers and horses, and he successively defeated the Tatar elite soldiers under the Yulin Acropolis and on the south bank of the Yuxi River twice. This time, the West District is not a problem to make contributions. ”
Ma Wensheng seems to be very confident in Shen Xi.
These words made Xie Qian want to scold, and immediately choked and said: "Shen Xi'er had made great achievements in the northwest before, but the Yulin Acropolis relied on its superior terrain and condescending, plus there were still tens of thousands of my elite soldiers watching in the Yulin Acropolis, so the Tatars had to retreat." In the battle of Yuxi River, if Liu Shangshu had not led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the north bank to block the way for him to march on the Tatar soldiers and horses, would he have a chance to survive? ”
"As the saying goes, you can't go back and forth, it's rare for people to encounter good luck twice in a row, can you hope for a third time? Besides, what if he made great contributions, in the end, the credit did not go to the nobles and the officers and men of the three armies, and he didn't get any benefits......"
"You can't say that!"
Ma Wensheng patiently explained: "As long as Your Majesty remembers his merits...... Think about it, Shen Xi led the errand of the governor of Yansui in the second grade at the age of the weak crown, and he was actually the first person in my Ming Dynasty. If this is not enough for Joe, wouldn't it be too harsh? ”
Xie Qian sighed: "If it is a peaceful year, it is not necessary to lead the governor of Yansui, but now that the war in the northwest is not stopping, how tricky this errand is, Ma Shangshu knows better than others, whether Shen Xi can return safely is unknown, how dare he dare to expect him to repeat the glory of the past and make contributions?" ”
The original friends were a little more estranged when talking to each other, Xie Qian left under the pretext of having something, but he didn't go back to the house, and went directly to Wenyuan Pavilion, while Ma Wensheng packed up his mood and left the palace.
Comparatively speaking, Xie Qian is busier than Ma Wensheng, Ma Wensheng is similar to Liu Jian and Li Dongyang in the DPRK, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, only focusing on important affairs, and other matters are handled by his deputy. After all, an elderly person who is already in his seventies cannot be too demanding.
……
……
Zhaohui Jinggongfang, north of the Forbidden City in the capital, Shen Mansion.
When it comes to the Shen Mansion, it is no longer the Shen family in Ninghua, which is a flourishing family, or the Shen family built by Shen Mingjun and his wife in Tingzhou Mansion, but the newly promoted Champion Mansion in the capital.
Now Shen Xi has officially become the right capital of Zheng Erpin, although it is only a temporary title, but it also indicates that Shen Xi's status in the court has been further improved.
As Shen Xi's wife, Xie Yuner is very proud of her husband, but she still has bitter words in her heart when she thinks that she has gone through a lot of hardships to return to the capital, and she still can't reunite with her husband.
In front of her sisters, she tried to make herself stronger, and kept a calm and wise smile at all times, so that her family would not lose their backbone.
In front of the maids below and the brothers of the chariot and horse gang, she maintained the demeanor of a housewife, and acted in a well-founded manner, with reason and law, which was convincing.
In front of her son, she has to be a good wife and mother, although her son is still young, but now he has begun to "babble", Xie Yuner has understood the difficulties of being a mother.
The family finally arrived in the capital at noon on September 12.
In front of Chongwen's gate, the old and young of the Shen family were harassed by the guards of the Beijing camp who guarded the safety of the Beijing division. This Beijing camp guard is Zhang Yanling's confidant, I heard that it is Shen Xi's family, in order to curry favor with Zhang Yanling, he ordered that the city gate should not be allowed.
However, the personnel of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who assisted the Beijing camp in defending the city were full of admiration for Shen Xi and immediately reported the matter.
While waiting for the ruling of the imperial court, the personnel of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division quarreled with the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, insisting on opening the city gate first and welcoming Lord Shen's family into the city.
There were also different opinions within the Beijing camp, and many officers and soldiers said that Lord Shen Xi Shen led troops to aid the northwest, and his family deserved to be treated well, so how could he block the city gate and not let him enter the city?
Just when there was a lot of noise in the city and under the city, Xie Yun'er was surprised by Shen Xi's influence, Xie Qian personally inquired, the British public Zhang Mao issued an edict, and the military department sent a director to supervise, and the Beijing camp guard who guarded the Chongwen Gate opened the city gate stupidly, and the Shen family finally entered the city safely.
When Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, learned of this, although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, and he was entangled in not causing trouble to Shen Xi, he did not dare to openly offend Zhang Mao and Xie Qian.
Moreover, Shen Xi was out on an expedition, and Shen Xi's family had arrived in Beijing but could not enter the city, so it was difficult for the court to explain. You must know that Shen Xi is out on the expedition, and his family members are equivalent to "hostages", which is also an important reason why the imperial court sent people to escort him back to Beijing.
Xie Yun'er doesn't care so much, she only knows that she has been respected by others.
As she crossed the city gate, she looked at the reverent eyes of the soldiers around her, and was very proud. On the heavily guarded streets along the way, as long as she heard the family members of Lord Shen Xi and Shen, the officers and soldiers were all allowed to go, and many people couldn't help but salute the convoy, which made her feel even warmer in her heart.
Back at the door, when Xie Yun'er asked people to take out some reward money to reward the soldiers who consciously escorted the convoy to Shen Mansion from Chongwenmen, those soldiers consciously lined up and left, Ma Jiu was ordered to catch up, and the answer he got was that it was very honorable to be able to do things for Lord Shen Xi, and it would be too hurtful to talk about money.
"Xianggong is a person who does great things, and only if he is respected by the world, we will be respected!"
After Xie Yun'er finished speaking to the sisters beside her, she was about to ask Ma Jiu to knock on the door, but the door of the mansion had been opened from the inside, and Yun Bo came out to greet the brothers of the Chema Gang who followed Shen Xi back to Beijing.
The Shen family moved back to the capital from Guangzhou Mansion, there are a lot of large and small boxes, most of which are women's things, Shen Xi will never treat the people around him badly, whether it is clothes or jewelry, decorations, daily utensils, Lin Dai and other women will take them as long as they use them, anyway, they don't have to spend their own efforts.
The subordinates were still moving things, and Yun Bo had already sent the letter that Shen Xi had left in the study to Xie Yun'er, and at the same time explained Shen Xi's explanation when he left.
“…… Miss, when the master left, he said that he should not be able to come back before the winter, but he will definitely be able to triumph before the end of the year, so that you and a few ladies and little masters do not have to worry too much. ”
Yun Bo said comforting words, but in fact, he was also full of worries...... In the northwest, the Tatars invaded on a large scale, and I heard that many cities were breached, and it was not a simple local bandit rebellion, and it was not that Shen Xi said that if he could win and triumph, he would definitely be able to realize his wish.
Xie Yun'er opened the letter and looked at Shen Xi's handwriting on the letterhead, her jade hands trembled, worried about her husband's safety.
After reading it, she barely cheered up: "Yun Bo, fortunately in the past two years, with your support, the Shen family's compound still has the appearance of a home." Belch...... Don't call me Miss in the future, just call me whatever you want. ”
Yun Bo hurriedly saluted and promised: "Yes, madam." ”
Yun Bo used to be the master of the Xie family, so he regarded Xie Yun'er as the main lady. But now the situation is different, the Xie family is revived because of the Shen family, and everything relies on Shen Xi as an official. Yun Bo works in the Shen family, and Xie Yun'er is Mrs. Shen Xi, so she can't be as casual as in the past.
Seeing that there were enough people around him, Xie Yun'er gave Yun Bo a few days off and asked him to go back to accompany his family.
Although everything is fine at home, Xie Yun'er still plans to tidy up the courtyards and rooms again, and add some more things, so that the family can quickly integrate into the home in the capital.
After that, Xie Yun'er was going to go to the Xie family's old mansion to take care of it, after all, it was also the Shen family's property, and in the future, whether it was Shen Mingjun and his wife or the Xie family in the capital, they could live there.
Lin Dai packed up her things, walked to the main hall, and asked aggrievedly: "Sister, why are there so many women in the family, I don't know them?" ”
Unlike Xie Yun'er who came home and planned to take care of the housework first, Lin Dai saw the dozen or so maids that Shen Xi bought back at a glance.
Before Shen Xi left, he originally wanted to send these maids to work in plaster shops and pharmaceutical factories, but it was difficult for so many people to settle down, and Shen Xi had not made a selection before leaving, so these maids were temporarily living in Shen Mansion.
Now this "mess" is left to Xie Yun'er to dispose of.
When Lin Dai came back, she found that there were many more women in the backyard, thinking that Shen Xi was "messing with flowers and grass" again, so she ran over to "complain" to Xie Yun'er, wanting Xie Yun'er to denounce Shen Xi with her.
"Dai'er, that's the girl that the master bought, I just went over to see it, the two younger ones were left for Xiaowen and Xi'er, and Jun'er let the two discerning ones take care of the past. Later, you will go over to choose yourself, see who fits your eyes, and send it to your room first, can I be a companion with you on weekdays? Xie Yun'er said.
"Don't!"
Lin Dai replied resolutely, "Isn't there Xiaoyu at home?" There are also Xiaoshan and Xiu'er, well, and Lu'er and Hong'er who stayed in the capital before...... There are already so many maids at home, why buy them? Is it because the old man wants to keep and enjoy it by himself? ”
Xie Yun'er rebuked angrily: "Dai'er, don't be willful, the master did the right thing!" Whether it is Xiaoshan, Xiu'er, or Lu'er and Hong'er who have stayed in the capital for the past two years, they always have to get married. Now that Xiaoyu is married to Ma Jiu, and the husband and wife are in love, do other maids have to stay in the Shen family for the rest of their lives? ”
"You yourself are also a daughter's family, and you can't help but be considerate of others...... Besides, these maids are far inferior to you in appearance, how can the master take a fancy to them? ”
Hearing this, Lin Dai finally felt better.
Xie Yun'er took Lin Dai's hand, the two sisters went out, and when they came to the backyard, they saw a group of maids gathering together, stunned as Zhu Shan moved the box like a strong man.
Even if it is a bulky box that two laborers can't lift, Zhu Shan can stack two boxes together at a time, lift them directly, and move the boxes to the utility room.
Zhu Shanzheng wondered why these new maids got together and looked at herself with such a strange expression, she subconsciously touched her face, thinking that her face was smeared with dust.
"Hill."
Xie Yun'er called, Zhu Shan reacted, and walked to Xie Yun'er with a smile.
Zhu Shan was sullen all the way north, mainly because her sense of direction was too poor, so she kept hiding in the cabin and didn't dare to go out, for fear of getting lost in an unfamiliar place.
Back in the capital, Zhu Shan immediately found that this place was familiar to him, I don't know how many times I walked through those streets and alleys, I could find my way home with my eyes closed, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. Zhu Shan grinned and said, "Madam, I moved all the boxes back, what else do you have to explain?" ”
"No need, you clean up your room first, then wash up well, and go back to reunite with Daddy Zhu!" Xie Yun'er smiled.
The smile on Zhu Shan's face faded, and he pouted: "I won't go back, my father always asked me to mention to my wife about getting married, but I haven't figured out who to marry!" ”
talked about his marriage in public, there was no one in the Shen Mansion except Zhu Shan, and even Xiu'er, who was a little similar to Zhu Shan, knew how to be introverted, hid these things, and quietly followed Ma Jiu in private to see which of the brothers in the Chema Gang was suitable to be a husband.
Xie Yun'er summoned Zhu Shan to her side, touched Zhu Shan's head, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshan, no one forces you to marry, you are still old, marry whoever you want to marry in the future!" ”
