After his uncle returned to his hometown, Shen Yi went to the Shen family mansion less often. Except for the first time he went to the Shen family mansion for a meal, he rarely went there afterwards. Most of the time, he stayed at his own home or simply went to the academy.
Stay for a few days.
After all, on that day, Shen Yi denounced Shen Hui both lightly and not seriously. Although Shen Hui did not fall out with Shen Yi, the "future star" of the Shen family, he felt somewhat unhappy.
The days passed by day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was already the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, with only five days left before the Chinese New Year.
At this time, the academy has already had a holiday, and brothers Shen Yi and Shen Heng have returned to their homes. Shen Heng occasionally asks Shen Yi for advice on how to write policy papers. Shen Yi is not stingy, spending his income from Jiankang this year.
Teach each other generously.
After Shen Heng celebrates the New Year, he will take the county examination.
Comparatively speaking, when he took the exam, he was more than a year younger than Shen Yi. If Shen Heng can take the exam as smoothly as Shen Yi, then the Shen family will usher in a "ZTE" in Shen Yi's generation.
Revive the declining trend.
While the brothers were studying at home, a middle-aged man wearing thick cotton clothes came to the door of Shen's house and asked to see Shen Yi.
Originally, Shen Yi had been very tired in the past few months and rarely received guests from outside. But after hearing this person's name, Shen Yi immediately invited him into the study.
Now that the conditions of the Shen family are better, the stove was lit in Shen Yi's study and the charcoal was burned. After the middle-aged man arrived in Shen Yi's study, he respectfully saluted Shen Yi: "Master Shen."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I have told Brother Tian many times that there is no need to meet outsiders. Let's just call him the same as before."
Tian Boping hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and called "Young Master", and then carefully sat down on the chair.
The current "social status" of the two people is so different that even a green-skinned person like Tian Boping has to tremble in front of Shen Yi.
After sitting down, Tian Boping lowered his head and said: "Sir, you asked the villain to investigate the matter of Mr. Luo Maocai, and the villain went to investigate."
"Luo Maocai has rarely been seen in Jiangdu since...since the Ma family went bankrupt last year. The villain went to check. It seems that he has traveled far away. He has not been in Jiangdu for a long time. He did not return to Jiangdu until half a month ago."
,should be…"
"She should be returning to Jiangdu to celebrate the New Year."
Having said this, Tian Boping paused and continued: "As for the two people you mentioned, Ma Jun and Qian Tong, I have not heard that they came back from other places, but..."
The local snake in Jiangdu paused, and then continued: "But these two people were exiled to Lingnan. Even if they come back from Lingnan, they probably won't show up in Jiangdu Mansion in a short time. I guess...
"
"At least they will have to wait until the next amnesty before they can return to Jiangdu."
When Shen Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows.
Although amnesty is not common, as far as Shen Yi knows, the next amnesty is not far away from now.
That is the emperor's wedding.
According to all the information Shen Yi knows and considering the age of His Majesty the Emperor, there is a high probability that the Emperor will get married next year, which is the seventh year of Hongde's reign.
Shen Yi sat on his chair, thought carefully, and then looked at Tian Boping with a smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Tian."
Although Tian Boping is very popular in Jiangdu Prefecture, in the final analysis, he is just a green man. There is nothing wrong with asking him to inquire about some information that is well-known to everyone. If you want him to find out some unknown secrets, just
It's a bit overwhelming.
For example, if Shen Yi needs some dirty information about the Luo family where Luo Maocai works, it is impossible for Tian Boping to find out.
Therefore, Shen Yi needs a more powerful intelligence source, preferably one that is not limited to Jiangdu Prefecture, but can explore the entire territory of Dachen, and even Northern Qi...
Thinking of this, Shen Yi suddenly remembered what Zhang Jian said.
Zhang Xianzun once said that if the Di Newspaper Division continues to develop like this, it may become an indispensable and important force in the court in the future, and those who collect materials for the Di Newspaper Division will also transform the Di Newspaper Division from a cultural
Media organizations evolved into intelligence agencies!
However, the current Di newspaper department still seems too primitive.
Shen Qilang thought secretly in his heart.
"It seems...that when I go to Jiankang next year, I want to find a way to win the Dijing Newspaper Division. I have an innate advantage in this regard. Even if I can't win the position of Dijing Newspaper Division Chief, I still have to find a way to get a part of the Diji Newspaper Division.
The power of…”
When Shen Yi came back to his senses, he discovered that Tian Boping was still in his study. He smiled at Tian Boping and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Tian."
"My friends in Jiankang will return to Jiangdu the day after tomorrow. Then you can bring your son to me. If he is willing, let my friends take him to do things next year."
"First Evolution"
"I don't dare to say that I am rich and powerful. I have no worries about food and clothing, but I have a little surplus. There is definitely no problem."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Let him save some money, marry a wife in two years, and give you a big fat grandson for Brother Tian..."
Tian Boping couldn't hide the joy on his face. He first thanked Shen Yi, and then complained in a low voice: "You don't have my surname, so what does it matter if you have grandchildren or not?"
Even though he said that, Tian Laoba was still very happy and thanked Shen Yi profusely.
After Tian Boping left, Shen Yi sat alone in the study and dazed for a while. In the afternoon, he changed his clothes and went out, and came to the county government office to ask for an audience with the county magistrate.
Soon Shen Yi was taken to the back office of the county government by the yamen. A young girl who looked about 18 years old saluted Shen Yi and said, "Master Shen, come with me. My master is waiting for you in the study."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Then please ask the young lady to lead the way."
This little girl is Zhang Jian's concubine in Jiangduna.
Zhang Xianzun got married in Jiankang and had two sons. However, his family had a big business and his wife took care of the big family there. He was a little lonely working in Jiangdu, so he took a concubine in Jiangdu.
Of course, "little madam" is a polite and slightly ridiculing term. We don't usually call her this way. After all, the status of this concubine is very different from that of Zhang Jian's first wife.
If you call someone seriously, you should call her by your nickname, or by calling her "Sister Qiao'er" or "Sister Xing'er".
The woman also knew that Shen Yi was joking. Her face turned red and she lowered her head and said, "Young Master is making fun of you."
In this way, under the leadership of this young lady, Shen Yi came to the study of the county magistrate. At this moment, the county magistrate was sitting behind the desk, very busy. After seeing Shen Yi walk in, he put down his hands.
He picked up the writing brush and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead.
"There are more and more bad things happening at the end of the year, which makes me very annoyed."
Zhang Xianzun complained: "The magistrate of Fukuo is really unlucky. Everything in the government office is pushed to my county government!"
It's not surprising that the magistrate of Fukuo County spends 300 of the 365 days a year scolding Shangguan. After Zhang Jian finished complaining, he looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "Why are you here, Ziheng? You are so rare."
Come and find me if you are willing."
Shen Yi found a chair and sat down by himself, read a book at www.uukanshu.com and said with a smile: "I heard that the county honoree is going back to Jiankang tomorrow to celebrate the New Year, so I came to see the county honoree off."
The imperial court of Da Chen usually had a holiday, which usually took place on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and work would not officially start until after the Lantern Festival. However, Zhang Jian had to rush back to Jiankang, so he planned to go home a few days early.
"Just because I have to go back tomorrow."
The county magistrate looked at the mountains of official documents on the table and said distressedly: "I have to deal with all these things today. I am too busy."
Shen Yi sat down carelessly.
"No rush, senior brother, you are busy with your work. I will watch here. When you are done, we brothers will go have a drink."
Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi suspiciously.
"Zi Heng, you always come to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Today, you suddenly came. I'm afraid you didn't just come to me for a drink?"
"Of course I'm here to drink, but besides drinking, there's also a little thing to do."
Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and smiled: "My younger brother has a few friends who lived on the streets of Jiangdu in the early years and made a living by begging. Now they are living a decent life, but they have not settled down yet. They will return to Jiangdu only the day after tomorrow. Senior brother will leave tomorrow, so...
"
Shen Yi stretched out his hand and coughed.
"So I'm here to ask Senior Brother for them to settle down."
