Chapter 531 The Second Ancestor of Yanei

Xie Yuner obviously didn't want to leave, but she insisted on leaving Beijing. Chen Xi felt that it was probably because she had obsessive-compulsive disorder. This was the result of typical feudal thoughts. In order to repay kindness and take the overall situation into consideration, she had to sacrifice her personal happiness and be mean to be at ease.

When she sent Xie Yuner away, looking at Xie Yuner's reluctant and entangled look, Chen Xi wanted to say: "Madam, your self-abuse is very serious."

Before Xie Yun'er left, she spent a period of loving couple life with Chen Xi. When she left, Chen Xi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Many things are not thought of without experiencing them. Once you experience that wonderful taste, you will form a certain habit, just like an addiction, and it is hard to be calm.

In order to adapt to Xie Yuner's life after leaving, Chen Xi could only work to anesthetize herself, but the problem is that Chen Xi's current work is too leisurely.

It took only four or nine to teach the prince. Even if the editor adds a case, it won’t take much time.

When he was in Tingzhou, he could pass the boring time by helping Hui Niang run a business, or writing this magazine, but now he doesn't even have a little spiritual sustenance.

The officialdom is like the imperial examination!

Chen Xi spent more than three years completing the path of the imperial examinations that others had for more than ten or even decades, and reached the top in one step. But after entering the officialdom, he was still at the bottom of the food chain and wanted to climb up, but there was no shortcut like the imperial examinations. He could only polish it a little bit. When all the old guys were killed, it was his turn to take over... The most important thing in the officialdom was seniority.

Chen Xi spent a few days organizing the theory of psychology. With his reputation as he had not yet reached the point of writing for himself, he should just pass the time.

Xie Pi highly praised Chen Xi's theory of mind learning. He would visit the Shen family whenever he had free time. On the one hand, it was to explore the study of mind learning, and on the other hand, it was to climb the relationship with Chen Xi.

Even Chen Xi felt that Xie Qian's son was a little too enthusiastic. With Xie Qian's status in the court, he was also a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. There was no need for Xie Pi to get too close to him, a small official of the sixth-rank.

After September, the weather gradually became colder, and Chen Xi taught Zhu Houzhao step by step, telling popular history. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Zhu Houzhao listened so carelessly.

Although Zhu Houzhao didn't want to attend classes, Chen Xi's class was more interesting than others, so it was fine at the beginning and he kept insisting on attending classes.

Wang Jiao talked to Chen Xi, and the general idea was to let him follow the rules when teaching and could no longer mention some unrelated content to the prince, such as weaving and Cuju, which greatly reduced the fun of Chen Xi's lectures. Zhu Houzhao listened to the history afterwards and felt that it was not interesting, so he asked Chen Xi what was fun. Every time Chen Xi was silent at this time, and the result of continuous disobedience to the prince was that Zhu Houzhao ignored Chen Xi.

After his interest in Chen Xi's history class weakened, Zhu Houzhao began to skip classes again, and Chen Xi had no good solutions to this.

This is not accurate, nor is it possible. A little overreach is a violation of the rules, which seriously restricts Chen Xi's hands and feet and enthusiasm for teaching. Fortunately, Shen Xi also figured it out. Anyway, it is not necessary to be so serious. Since others have no choice but to treat naughty children, Chen Xi feels that he doesn't need to show off.

It is true that using fun things once or twice can lure the heart of a naughty child, but this is ultimately a matter of drinking poison to quench thirst. The emperor's patience is limited. Once the emperor is unhappy one day, the demotion and salary will be light. Just say "I will never use it when I retire." Then I will be sad.

Now Zhu Houzhao is not interested in playing crickets, but she is very addicted to playing Cuju. Chen Xi is very suspicious of whether Zhu Houzhao will have a "Gaoqi Second" around him in the future.

Autumn passed quickly, the first snow in early winter came very early, and the weather gradually became cold, and Chen Xi had to change into thick winter clothes when going out.

When he first arrived in the capital, Chen Xi had no time to go around the city. Now he had free time. As soon as Xie Yun'er left, Lin Dai was still trying to be a little bitch. He was bored at home and had nothing to do. So Chen Xi went to the capital to take a look around and appreciate the customs and customs of the Ming Dynasty.

But even if the capital is prosperous, it will make people feel tired after visiting for a long time. Chen Xi summarized that the capital is nothing more than a crowd, a lot of shops, and a lot of yamen. Zhengyangmenli Qipan Street, Dengshi City, Chenghuang Temple City, Nei City and Chongwenmen. Chen Xi visited several times and found that this was the case, which was much worse than the commercial pedestrian streets and department stores in later generations.

When Chen Xi came back, he didn't like to go out. At most, he found a relatively secluded elegant seat next to the window in the teahouse around Jiaozhongfang where he lived, and moved the place where he wrote the case from his study room to outside, just like later generations who spent time writing in a coffee shop. It was so leisurely and leisurely.

Others are busy making a living, but Chen Xi has evolved into an idle person. Before he reached the age of fourteen, his life seems to have lost its momentum. Sometimes, Chen Xi thinks it incredible if he thinks about it.

On that day, Chen Xi had just come out of the house and saw an official sedan chair coming to his door. When the person in the sedan chair appeared, Chen Xi almost couldn't recognize it, but it was an old acquaintance Hong Zhuo.

At this time, Hong Zhuo's face was full of red light, looking energetic, without the decadence of the past, and the new official took office, even the cowardly aura on his former body disappeared.

"Young Master Chen, it's been a long time since." Hong Zhuo came down and greeted Chen Xi.

Judging from Hong Zhui's face, Chen Xi should not know his relationship with Xie Yuner, otherwise he would be particularly jealous when he met his rival.

Chen Xi saluted: "Mr. Hong is this...who has a job in the yamen?"

Hong Zhuo replied with a bow and said with a smile: "Dongcheng Military Commander, Deputy Commander."

Chen Xi grinned and said a few words of congratulations, but he thought to himself that it is indeed different if he has the burden of being the top scorer. He was the Hanlin editor of the sixth rank. Hong Zhuo was the juren, and he was directly appointed as the deputy commander of the five-city military commander of the seventh rank.

It’s okay if you are a seventh-rank official, but you have to sit in an official sedan when you go out. I am sincere and show your power. I am an official from the sixth-rank official of the Zhan Shifu Office, but I haven’t gotten into the official sedan yet.

When Hong Zhuo heard Chen Xi's congratulations, he felt a little embarrassed. His official came from Zu Yin, which is essentially different from a normal imperial examination officer like Chen Xi, and the difference is not a little bit or two.

Since Chen Xi had gone out, Hong Zhuo did not mean to go to Xie Mansion to sit. Instead, he accompanied Chen Xi to a large teahouse at the intersection of Andingmen Street and Shuntian Mansion Street. After finding a seat next to the window on the second floor, Hong Zhuo sighed: "My father originally wanted me to go to the Governor's Office of the Five Army to provide services, but... there are no officials in the ranks there, so he had to go to the Military and Ma Si first to go to the Military and Ma Si to overdo it."

Chen Xi nodded.

Anyway, the yamen of the capital army were all opened for these second-generation ancestors. To be honest, the commander and deputy commander of the Five Cities Military and Ma Si were all served by county princes or lords throughout the ages. In other words, there were too few relatives and nobles in the Hongzhi Dynasty, so Hong Zhuo had the opportunity to work in, and the starting point was very high.

"In the future, I will be responsible for the arrest and investigation. I will ask Mr. Chen to take care of him." Hong Zhuo added.

Chen Xi smiled and asked, "I am just a civil servant, and I work in a clean yamen like the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shi Mansion. Where can I help Mr. Hong?"

Hong Zhuo said helplessly in his tone: "It is always good to be a minister of the court, it is always good to be able to help some of them."

Chen Xi could see that Hong Zhuo was not confident about being the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Military Command. He should feel that with his ability, he was not qualified to do this seventh-rank job.

However, as far as Chen Xi knows, the Five City Military and Ma Si is just a corps under the Ministry of War. His daily work is just to assist the Beijing County Government, saying that he has the responsibility of arresting and punishing evil spirits, but more of it is to clear canals, put out fires, coordinate public security and other trivial matters. Hong Zhuo's decent commander was equivalent to the deputy director of the police station in later capitals. These trivial matters were not his turn to do them himself. At most, he was a supervisor, which was not difficult at all.

Chen Xi and Hong Zhuo chatted about business affairs, and then asked: "Young Master Hong is here today. I don't just want to follow me and say you are an official, right?"

Hong Zhuo's face was a little sad: "When you have nothing to do on weekdays, you want to come and have a walk. Is there any news that Mr. Chen has come from Tingzhou?"

Chen Xi shook his head, and he naturally knew that Hong Zhuo was asking Xie Yuner. He would not tell Hong Zhuo about Xie Yuner's visit to the capital, that was purely a cause of trouble.

Hong Zhuo sighed softly and did not continue to pester this issue. It was obvious that he cared about Xie Yuner. However, the more he cared about it, the more uncomfortable Chen Xi felt... His wife was always being miserable by others, and she felt very uncomfortable!

Chen Xidao: "When will Mr. Hong become a father?"

When talking about the child, Hong Zhuo's face improved: "It's almost done. Mr. Chen must come over to have a glass of water and wine at that time."

Chen Xi nodded and thought to himself, I don’t even know where your home is, why should I join in the fun if you give birth to a son?

Hong Zhuo took out an invitation from his arms, "Mr. Chen, this invitation was sent by an acquaintance, saying that he would invite you and me to have a banquet. Today I will come here and deliver the invitation to you."

What kind of acquaintances would invite him and Hong Zhuo to the invitation at the same time?

After seeing the invitation name, Chen Xi was relieved. Not to mention that this person did have some "friendship" with him and Hong Zhuo. This friendship made Hong Zhuo unforgettable. It was the dandy Yanei who beat Hong Zhuo in Tingzhou Prefecture City, which made Hong Zhuo return to Beijing in disgrace and became the evil side.

Chen Xi then remembered that Gaomingcheng had already taken office at the Ministry of Revenue, and thought that he would definitely bring this precious grandson with him. Gao Chong came to Beijing, so he naturally had to worship the local snake first.

Gao Chong was not familiar with the place in Beijing and knew that the Hong family was a noble family, so he took the initiative to invite Bing to let go of his past grudges, which made Chen Xi feel unthinkable.

However, what Chen Xi did not expect was that Hong Zhuo actually accepted the invitation and forwarded the invitation to him.

The examiner of the Chenxi Tingzhou Prefecture Examination was Gaoming City.

When Gaoming City arrived in the capital, Chen Xi should have visited as a student, but Chen Xi really didn't want to be involved with this big stolen official, because Chen Xi knew that the deadline for Gaoming City was approaching, and the emperor had not yet cured Gaoming City for the time being on the floods in Henan. It was the emperor's face to take care of himself, but Emperor Hongzhi did not know his mistakes and would not correct him. Under the principle of overcorrecting the wrongs, Gaoming City would sooner or later be cleaned up.

"Tingshuilou? Where?" Chen Xi had read the invitation and had some impression of Gao Chong's invitation, but he couldn't remember where he had read it.

Hong Zhuo thought for a while and said, "It is said that it was a family run by Tingzhou people... The place of love and misfortune, because of Mr. Chen's age, I should have never visited him... I have sent someone to notify Mr. Gao and ask him to change his place."

Chen Xi looked up at Hong Zhuo. Did this guy forget how badly this guy was beaten by Gao Chong? There was no gap when the title of "Gao Young Master" was called!

After Hong Zhuo's reminder, Chen Xi remembered that the Tingshui Tower was a brothel opened by Yu Niang. At that time, Fatty Zhou gave him an invitation to him to "visit". Chen Xi naturally did not want to take the initiative to have any contact with Yu Niang. Ruo Yu Niang followed Liu Daxia's order to ask him to do something, and would never invite him, so he would naturally come to him.

"Young Master Gao? But the grandson of the Gao Magistrate?" Chen Xi asked in a bad tone.

"That's right." Hong Zhuo nodded slightly, "Now the Gao Prefecture was transferred from the governor of Henan to serve as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue. Mr. Gao entered the Imperial College to study. When he met Mr. Chen, he would respectfully call you a sir."
