In the end, Chen Xi did not tell Xie Yuner about the encounter with Hong Zhui, otherwise it would affect the harmony between the couple.

After the family moved to the Xie family's old house, Xie Yuner's mood improved, but she was currently in a state of nothing, and she just calculated the accounts at home every day.

Chen Xi saw that Xie Yuner, who had been busy for seven or eight years, is almost sick now, or should have really found something for her to do. But as the wife of the imperial court official, she is not suitable for showing up in public. After all, she is not suitable for opening a pharmacy shop and selling dog skin plaster.

I saw August, the weather gradually cooled, and Chenxi lived a comfortable life. I finally didn’t have to sweat every day when I was on a job in the East Palace.

On that day, Chen Xi sent the book of the prince's daily life to Zhan Shi Mansion, but saw that many people in Zhan Shi Mansion gathered and were greeting a court official.

Chen Xi looked closely and found that it was an old acquaintance Xie Qian. As a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Xie Qian was the object of compliment and flattery wherever he went.

Chen Xi thought to himself, could it be that he came to find me?

Chen Xi originally wanted to hand over the record booklet and go out quietly so that he would not have to meet Xie Qian and would not cause trouble for himself.

But Xie Qian's eyes were sharp. Perhaps he had intended to wait for Chen Xi. When he saw Chen Xi, he greeted him from a distance: "Isn't this Chen Zhuangyuan?"

There was no way, Chen Xi had to come forward to greet him.

Xie Qian's smile on his face was a bit cunning. He looked Chen Xi up and down, nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Chen Zhuangyuan looks a little stronger."

Chen Xi immediately complained deeply... This is to look at people, not animals, and praise people for being "strong"? But in front of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and his colleagues, he could only give all the etiquette. He was about to turn around and leave when he was about to leave when he was called by Xie Qian and said, "There is something that I want to trouble the people of the Zhanshi Mansion to deal with."

The officials of the Zhan Shi Mansion immediately became cautious. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet would never be a gossip. He had guessed that Xie Qian had something to come, but Xie Qian didn't say it before, and others couldn't ask. Now he finally knew what was the reason.

Xie Qian took out a booklet from his arms and asked the people present: "Who can understand this?"

The booklet was small and thick, not like the style of the Ming Dynasty's memorials, or even the book. Chen Xi looked it carefully and if he added a red leather cover outside, he could pinch it out and shout.

The people from the Zhan Shi Mansion read the booklet, but no one said it, which surprised Chen Xi... What kind of unfathomable content is there?

Someone asked, "Why didn't Mr. Xie go to the Hanlin Academy to ask?"

"I went there last month and passed it from beginning to end. No one knew it. Don't you come to the Zhan Shi Mansion for advice? Is there no one in the Ming Dynasty who can even recognize the words of this country?" Xie Qian's face was not very good-looking.

Chen Xi probably understood what was going on.

It seems that the envoy of the Dayan tribe submitted a book, but no one knew what the text was on it. This sounds strange. If you say that the book is nothing more than recording in Mongolian language, the Mongolians usually will be translated into Chinese. Even if they are not translated, the clerks of the Ming Dynasty cabinet will translate the corresponding text into the emperor. But now they are in a dilemma that the Mongolians cannot translate the classics.

Chen Xi's official qualities are not high, so the booklet was passed on for a long time but was not delivered to Chen Xi.

However, Xie Qian took the initiative to take the booklet, looked around, and finally presented it to Chen Xi alone, asking: "Shen Zhuangyuan is young and knowledgeable, have you ever seen the content on it?"

Chen Xi took it over and opened it and couldn't help laughing. He said that this text is not unfamiliar to him, isn't it just English? The Ming Dynasty now has trade with Mongolia, Tibet and Persia, but it has no contact with European countries. There are only a handful of people who knew English in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This is actually not a "national letter", but is an excerpt from the Christian Bible, and some editors' experiences when preaching.

Chen Xi raised his head and looked at the officials of the Zhan Shi Mansion present. Some people wondered why Xie Qian asked him alone. Chen Xi was a little embarrassed at this time. If he recognized him, he seemed a little arrogant. If he didn't know him, it would be shirking responsibility, which made him feel like he was having a hard time.

Xie Qian seemed to have seen something, took the booklet back, put it in his sleeve, and then said to the people present: "If no one knows it, I will go now... Chen Zhuangyuan, come out with me."

It was almost a replica of the time in the Hanlin Academy. On the surface, it was for Chen Xi to send her away, but in fact it was something to explain. However, Chen Xi happened to complete the business and could also take Xie Qian out and go home.

When he went out, Xie Qian had nothing to say. He went to the gate of Donghua Gate. Xie Qian thought to himself: "Chen Xi, the rules of the late Hongwu year you submitted before were very satisfied with reading it. He is ready to continue to compile the "Da Ming Hui Dian". What do you think?"

What a great honor to be appreciated by the emperor!

But Chen Xi doesn't think so. It's hard enough for him to accompany the prince to write a meritorious book now. He rarely works day and rests a day. If he takes into account the study, his life will be too busy and boring.

Chen Xi quickly refused: "If you say to Master Xie, the students are afraid that they are willing but not able to do it."

Xie Qian glanced at Chen Xi coldly, and the general meaning was that if someone else got the emperor's life, he would do his job well without sleeping at night? Now he just wanted to squeeze out some rest time to study books, and just push back and forth! He said angrily: "It's okay not to study books, so tell me, what is it written on it?"

Chen Xidao: "If the students really know each other, will Mr. Xie be exempted from the errand of revising books?"

Xie Qian was surprised and looked at Chen Xi again.

This kid actually dares to give conditions to a senior citizen. Could he not want to live anymore? Or would he want to be criticized and be beaten to the bench?

Chen Xi knew how to grasp the right position.

When it comes to meeting people and doing things in human affairs, Chen Xi almost saw through Xie Qian's character... Among the three Grand Secretary in the cabinet, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang are both old-fashioned and mean people, and they will never allow them to discuss conditions with them. However, when he arrived at Xie Qian, he "is easy to discuss everything."

Xie Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It depends on how much you know... To be honest, this is a thing offered by Mongolian envoys, saying it is a classic practice that can prolong life. I have found many people these days, but none of them know the words on it. If you don't know, don't do it. This is not a record of the prince's daily life. If there is a deviation, be careful that your head is not safe."

Listening to Xie Qian's words, Chen Xi probably understood that the incident of the prince being randomly investigated by Emperor Hongzhi some time ago had been spread to the cabinet. Xie Qian was very cunning, so how could he not know what the Zhan Shi Mansion was going to deal with the emperor?

Chen Xidao: "Students do know the above words. If Xie Ge Lao is accommodating, the students will know everything."

Xie Qian stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "The scholars who are well-educated are at a loss. Do you know it? Well, follow me to go home and translate the contents above. Your Majesty is in a hurry to read the contents above... If you lie, I will be the first to refuse you."

Xie Qian did not take Chen Xi to other places, but went to his house, obviously trying to compete for merit!

Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzing wanted to read the classics that prolong life, but others couldn't translate it, but Xie Qian asked someone to translate it. This was a great contribution.

Chen Xi was a little awkward when he followed Xie Qian back to his mansion. When he went to Xie Qian's mansion for no reason, it would always make people feel that he was cursing the powerful.

But since Xie Qian insisted, he couldn't refuse, so he had to give an order to Tang Hu, who was waiting outside Dong'anmen Square, and he and Xie Qian took the official sedan chair to Xie's mansion.

When he arrived at the door of Xie's house, Xie Qian and Shen Xi got out of the sedan chair one after another. Xie Qian was anxious and entered the door, and the door was a little surprised: "Honey, are you back?"

"I won't stay for too long, I'll send someone to clean up the study." Xie Qian ordered in a cold tone.

As a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and after a few years of age, Xie Qian did not care much about his family. A diligent Grand Secretary like him is certainly a good minister, but he may not be a dedicated husband or a kind father or grandfather. The more loyal and upright the minister is, the more he often ignores his family.

The door quickly said, "I'll inform my wife now..."

"I told you to notify people to clean up the study room, can't you hear it?" Xie Qian widened his eyes and jumped up in anger.

The men were shocked and hurried to inform the people. Xie Qian took Chen Xi all the way through the main courtyard and said as he walked: "The humble house is simple, don't be surprised."

Chen Xi thought to himself, if such a yard is called simple, then his home will be a full doghouse.

Xie Qian was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He lived in the capital with an official residence. Although it was not decorated in a magnificent manner, it looked ordinary at first glance, but it was much spacious than the courtyard of an ordinary family. Chen Xi first observed it. This was a duplex courtyard with Jiangnan garden style, with four directions from north to south, and each side courtyard, including gardens, rockery, fish ponds, pavilions and other buildings. It is at least twice as big as the old Xie family house where Chen Xi is currently living in.

When Chen Xi thought of the architectural layout, he naturally thought of the pond of fish next to the rockery in the backyard of Xie Mansion. I wonder if the group of fish have grown up under his "feeding"?

Xie Qian took Chen Xi to the study room. Before he entered the door, he saw a beautiful girl standing timidly at the door of the study room with the book "Female Training". He seemed a little scared when he saw Xie Qian.

"Why are you here?"

Xie Qian looked at the girl curiously, and the girl lowered her head and couldn't reply.

But this girl has a bookish aura, a melon-shaped face, and is extremely beautiful. In her bright eyes, the dark eyes are extremely flexible and intelligent. She looks like she is only twelve or thirteen years old, but she has already become a reversal of all living beings.

Chen Xi knew that this was the daughter who was truly raised in the boudoir. She would never go out of the door on weekdays. When the buds were mature, she would be carried from one door to another in a sedan chair to another. She would be isolated from the outside world by the high walls for the rest of her life. Having children and caring for her husband and children are all her life.

"Okay, you go back to the inner courtyard first."

Xie Qian seemed a little anxious, and asked without any details why the girl was here, and waved to Chen Xi again, "I'm still working on something, come in!"

Chen Xi was urged to go to the study room.

The fairy-like girl raised her head slightly and looked at Chen Xi carefully. Her eyes were as clear as the blue water. Perhaps Chen Xi's arrival aroused the girl's curiosity. She focused her attention for a long time, and her beautiful little face was full of novelty.

Chen Xi didn't know the identity of the girl, probably Xie Qian's daughter or granddaughter. After all, he didn't know much about Xie Qian's family structure.

When he entered the room, Xie Qian took out the booklet in his arms again, but he did not ask Chen Xi to translate the text directly, but asked Chen Xi to tell him the general meaning.

Chen Xi took the booklet and looked up. He saw the girl still in the yard. Looking into the study from afar, Chen Xi was a little strange. Could it be that this wealthy lady had never seen a stranger before and was curious about him, an uninvited guest?

Or maybe, have the two met before?

This feeling made Chen Xi feel uncomfortable with a thorn on his back!

Chen Xi quickly calmed down and said the general meaning of the booklet. Xie Qian frowned: "What is this a blessing to prolong life?"

After all, the content of the scriptures is different from ordinary books. After hearing the content translated by Chen Xi, Xie Qianguang knew that Chen Xi was not like a lie, but this scripture was too obscure and difficult to understand after all.

But no matter how you say it, you still have to sort it out. After Chen Xi roughly translated the full text, he explained the contents one by one. He said one sentence and Xie Qian recorded one sentence. In less than an hour, a hymn and preaching notes of the Bible with more than a thousand words were recorded.

Xie Qian was confused when he was holding the written thing.

***************

ps: The fifth update is here!

I really couldn't do it yesterday. My childhood friend was the emperor's junior high school and high school classmate. I got together to play every day in college. I was still the godfather of my daughter at home. I really couldn't refuse.

After having dinner with Faxiao's family, I forced myself to sing and refused to let go. When I waited 11:20, I took a look and ran away and finally returned home before twelve o'clock in the morning.
Chapter completed!
