Chapter 135 Expected to be first in the court

In front of the Chen Mansion, Chen Xi got off the carriage and stretched her waist long. Before he could enter the yard, a fast horse came quickly and arrived in front of Chen Xi. The knight immediately turned over and got off the horse... It was Yun Liu dressed in men's clothes.

Yunliu brought the latest battle situation in the northwest.

Chen Xi did not look at Yunliu carefully, took the letter, opened it and saw the situation of the Northwest War, and asked casually: "Where is your godmother?"

Yun Liu replied: "My godmother will leave the capital in a few days. She has not told her about the specific situation. I wonder what the young master has to give?"

Suddenly, Yun Liu called "Young Master", and Chen Xi was a little uncomfortable. Thinking of his previous promise to Yun Liu, he also knew that it was not a solution to continue to drag down the matter between Yun Liu and Xier in this way. It would be better to follow the previous agreement and keep Yun Liu and Xier by their side and give them a future.

But Chen Xi was not going to bring the two girls into the door, perhaps it would be more appropriate to use it as an outdoor room.

After all, the two were born there, and Chen Xi believed that Yunliu and Xier followed him for some purpose, and many things need to be prevented before they happen.

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Brother Jiu, don't worry about delivering things tomorrow, leave it to her for the time being. Yunliu, you will take away a few boxes later and find an opportunity to send them to Huanghuafang. These are the money that the eunuch of the military supervisor Zhang Yongying shared with him. The soldiers in the army don't need to explain much after they are sent. The people in the house understand what's going on!"

Chen Xi tried a lot to give Zhang Yong a gift, but she felt helpless. Chen Xi was originally going to drag things over, but in the end, Zhang Yong found out the news from somewhere and took the initiative to ask someone to come out to Chen Xi's mansion and explain the location of the things delivered. Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to the captured artillery, siege equipment, food and other materials, the spoils in the army need to be handed over, and gold, silver and other money will basically be occupied by soldiers. This is also the few benefits of marching and fighting, and even the emperor cannot say anything.

The soldiers fought for military achievements, and the second was for this small profit. The fight against the Tatars was considered rich. However, the Tatars used to be like a hard bone, which was very difficult to bite. If they were accidentally jumped, they would have no choice but to know that there was a bargain to take.

This time, Chen Xi went on a battle with each other and won consecutive victories, which was considered a good and delicious food, so in the minds of the officers and soldiers under his command, Chen Xi's image was very tall.

Chen Xi entered the courtyard and asked Ma Jiu to arrange someone to carry out the boxes for Zhang Yong, and found a carriage to take to the designated place by Yunliu.

Yunliu will be responsible for delivering the boxes to the ground later.

Zhang Yong was in the palace and did not dare to keep so much money by his side. Fortunately, Zhang Yong was outside the palace, such as his two godsons, or helping him manage his shop's in-laws and servants.

Zhang Yong has been in the palace for many years and has accumulated some power. Many people in the capital have worked for him.

When eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty became powerful, the number of people who would curry favor with them would naturally increase. Not only were eunuchs in the palace, but also established dependent forces outside the palace, especially the deacons and eunuchs in the Silijian and the Imperial Horse Prison, which was most obvious.

When Yunliu took away the things, Chenxi would basically have nothing to do and would basically be prepared for the lack of places.

Chen Xi came to the study room, sat down at the desk, picked up the book and read it for a while. Xie Yuner came in with a cup of hot tea and said, "Mr., do you say...we really want to leave the capital?"

Chen Xi put down the book and said, "I'm not sure about it for the time being, but it depends on the situation... How to say it, your husband showed his sharpness and made too much contribution. In terms of personal future, it is not all good things. It's a mediocre person not to attract jealousy!"

Xie Yuner frowned: "I don't understand very much!"

Chen Xi had no secret in front of Xie Yuner and explained: "It's easy to understand. Although your husband is a civil servant, he is not allowed to be appreciated by the big bosses in the court. Except for the foreigner of Xie Ge, Liu Shaofu and Li Grand Secretary Li have always regarded me as a dissident and are on guard everywhere."

"Instead of struggling in the capital, it is better to leave and be an official in the local area. I just don't have to be an official for a long time. I have accumulated more experience in the local area and live a comfortable life with my family, which is not bad!"

Xie Yuner said nervously: "Then my husband, after you arrive at the place, you won't be responsible for quelling bandits and Japanese pirates again, right?"

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head: "I don't expect that the court has sent people on the southeast coast. I am in a vacant place this time. I may be in Huguang, Jianggan and other areas. I will wait for the imperial decree in detail!"

Xie Yuner sighed softly: "My husband is really kind... The court has not arranged an errand for you yet, but it seems that my husband knows everything!"

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly. It was not that he had any foresight, but that he had a thorough observation of the court and grasped the emperor and the court officials accurately.

Before Chen Xi took office as the governor of Yansui, he was already the governor of the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the right deputy censor. He was directly the second-rank right censor of the northwest.

Chen Xi calculated that according to the current level, he would either go to Jiubian, Huguang, Jiangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and Sichuan. Anyway, there would always be troubles waiting for him to deal with in these places.

The civil servant group prevented him from taking charge of the border army and gaining military power, so it was unlikely that he would go to the Nine Borders. As for going to Yunnan and Guizhou, the possibility was not high. After all, he was a great hero in the Battle of Tatars. The emperor was suspected of exile in Yunnan and Guizhou. In order to win the hearts of the people, the emperor could never do this.

Since he did not want to enter the Hanlin Academy system to survive and could not stay in the Six Ministry to do practical things, and the Six Ministry of Nanjing did not seem to be a place he could get involved. In this way, only a few wealthy provinces in the central region were the places he was most likely to go to.

Xie Yuner said: "Then... will my husband set out before the New Year?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "I don't expect it to be too urgent. Maybe it's going to be delayed until the New Year. The war in the northwest ends. Liu Shangshu will return to the capital at the end of the year. He will reward merits and rewards. After doing these things, he will have to celebrate the New Year. In this way, I am in the capital and can wait until Jun'er gives birth. If I have a negligence, my family can stay in the capital for the time being. After everything is settled, you can go to the place!"

Xie Yun'er felt a little sad when she heard that she would be separated from her husband in a short time.

But she became the wife of the court official and had long expected such a life.

Almost all officials and family members of the Ming Dynasty were separated from each other. It would be fine if Chen Xi had a strong family concept. Basically, he would take his wife and children with him after he performed his duties. If he met those who were a little selfish, he would not care about his family in order to make things easier for him to go to the place.

Although she felt miserable, Xie Yuner did not say anything discouraged. She was a good wife and mother. She knew how to understand her husband and maintain harmony in the backyard.

Chen Xidao: "Yun'er, it's not too early, it's time to go back to your room and rest. Thank you for your hard work these days!"

Xie Yuner was originally thinking about Chen Xi going to the local government to become an official. She turned her head and saw the ambiguous smile on Chen Xi's face. Her pretty face turned slightly red, but she leaned over and was held in her arms by Chen Xi.

Although they are old couples, Chen Xi and Xie Yuner are often together, and the two can always maintain a sense of freshness.

Xie Yun'er always gives the opportunity to be alone with Chen Xi to Xie Hengnu and Lin Dai, but she is very eager to be good at using Chen Xi and love each other in her heart.

...

...

The lonely lamp in the room is a cold shadow, but the embroidered couch is warm.

Chen Xi fulfilled her duties as a husband and cherished Xie Yun'er for a while. When everything was calmed down, the two hugged each other tightly.

Xie Yuner suddenly said, "My husband, Xiao Wen and Xier, they are quite old..."

Although he didn't say a word, Chen Xi could hear what Xie Yuner said. Since he was about to travel far and he didn't have much time to stay in the capital, it would be better to marry Yin Wen and Lu Xier into the house earlier.

The original good mood, because of this sentence, made Chen Xi feel a little more sad.

What Chen Xi thought of was not two well-behaved and lovely girls, but Sun Huiniang who was far away in Guangzhou Prefecture. There was always an indelible person between Chen Xi and Huiniang, and that was Lu Xier.

Chen Xi said: "Let's go back and ask my mother before. Because of the prince's affairs, I have been neglecting my parents. I have to apologize for the sake of the prince."

"As for Xiaowen and Xier, they are only fifteen or sixteen years old after all, so there is no need to worry too much about things!"
