Two days after Chen Xi told Zhu Houzhao about the Tumu Fort Incident, Xie Qian called Chen Xi home. Not to mention anything else, he scolded Chen Xi.

"...You kid, you are really a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers! Do you know what important task you are taking? It's good to tell the prince the 21st history, why should I involve my old affairs in the Ming Dynasty?"

Xie Qian was so angry that he learned from the report from Zhan Shi Mansion that Chen Xi told the prince about the Tumu Fort Incident during his lecture, and this matter had been reported to Emperor Hongzhi. From the news reported in the palace, the Hongzhi royal family seemed to have the intention to punish Chen Xi.

Chen Xi spread his hands and asked, "I dare to ask the elders, what is the significance of telling the prince's twenty-one history?"

Learning history is nothing more than learning from history and using the present.

From the perspective of learning history, Chen Xi told the prince some bad and evil things to let the prince learn from. This is the most correct thing.

But many people don’t think so. In their thoughts, some ugly things in this dynasty must be hidden well, and it is best that even those who study history books do not know it. Over time, they will naturally forget this disgraceful history.

Learning from history, this dynasty will usually not be involved.

But any country or dynasty will have stains. Chen Xi has now only raised a small stain in the history of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and some people can't stand it. They shouted and shouted and killed Chen Xi who dared to tell the truth, which shows his hypocrisy.

Xie Qian pointed to Chen Xi and said, "You really don't worry. When you are smart, you are smarter than a monkey, and when you are dull, you are like a lump of elm. Forget it, even if your Majesty wants to pursue it, at most it will only be a few reprimanding words. Remember, don't involve what you shouldn't say in the future! Otherwise, I won't help you!"

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Thank you, Master, for your help."

"When did I say I want to help you?" Xie Qian said in surprise, "Don't be self-righteous, I will never be willing to help you."

Xie Qian refused to admit it, but in fact, he really used a lot of relationships for Chen Xi, such as asking Wang Yang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to help Chen Xi plead in front of the emperor. Wang Yang had a lot of opinions about Chen Xi, but everyone in the Zhan Mansion knew about this, because Chen Xi did not please Wang Yang in terms of teaching content and direction. Now Xie Qian has found someone who is recognized to have opinions about Chen Xi to help, which can be said to be good at it.

Xie Qian said: "The disasters of eunuchs you mentioned in the past dynasties are somewhat reasonable, but the most important thing to say is to stop at the right time. Speaking of this dynasty, we must demonstrate the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty does not want the prince to know something too early..."

"Sooner or later, you will know." Chen Xi reminded.

Xie Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Then what do you think?"

Chen Xidao: "Since the prince must know sooner or later, the students think that it is better to let the prince understand the truth earlier so that he can be prepared. If others dare not say it, the students say that the blame will be borne by the student. In this way, isn't it easier for other lecturers in the East Palace to save more?"

Xie Qian looked at Chen Xi with a "crazy" look, but after he thought for a while, he felt that Chen Xi's words were not easy.

Chen Xi said some historical facts that should not be said, but it also proved that he was responsible in disguise. Emperor Hongzhi did not say that he did not want the lecturer of the Eastern Palace to talk about these things, but he felt that the prince was still young and, in his spoiled mentality, wanted his son to grow up in a carefree environment and get in touch with the ugly things of the Ming Dynasty a few years later.

But at this moment, Chen Xi said what he shouldn't have said, which put a certain psychological pressure on the prince, making Emperor Hongzhi angry and determined to punish him.

But Emperor Hongzhi was an enlightened monarch after all. After he figured out the cause and effect of the matter, he would feel that Chen Xi was not malice, but was responsible for educating his son well. It would be obvious that it was wrong to blame him for this.

After a little punishment, Emperor Hongzhi would have more trust in Chen Xi.

Xie Qian had not yet figured out his mind at first, and did not understand why Chen Xi was smart and confused. However, when he woke up, he felt that he had been used by Chen Xi. Although Chen Xi did not take the initiative to ask him for help, he used his future grandson-in-law's identity to make him care for him.

"You can do it."

Xie Qian smiled coldly and said, "It seems that you don't like being scolded and punished, right? Don't even have fewer betrothal gifts sent to our mansion. Now that spring is coming, I think, while the spring exam is over, you will send someone to the mansion to propose marriage. If it is too late, I will have to think carefully..."

Chen Xi didn't understand it for a moment, so this topic was too fast!

I was scolding him just now, but why did I mention the proposal again when I turned around? Are you so anxious to marry your granddaughter? Now Jun'er is only fourteen years old, even if you are in love, you don't have to rush to get married.

"Master Ge, are you too anxious?" Chen Xi asked tentatively.

"It seems that you boy is not sincere in marrying my granddaughter... I warn you, if you don't see the letter of appointment at the end of the first month, I will change my mind!"

Xie Qian was already in a threatening tone at this time.

Chen Xi had no choice. He originally said that it was half a year, but it was spring early. In just one sentence, it was the end of the month.

Perhaps Xie Qian felt that the way they got along was too awkward. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet often called a younger boy to his home, either relatives or not. Over time, others doubted... Are you not smart enough to use Xie Laoer? You have to go to Chen Xi to discuss with her?

When Chen Xi became his grandson-in-law, it was legitimate whether he called Chen Xi home or asked Chen Xi to do things.

I am your elder, and I will look down on you if I do something to you!

...

...

After Chen Xi returned home, the first thing he did was to discuss with Xie Yuner about marrying Xie Hengnu.

Chen Xi thought of getting engaged to Xie Hengnu first, and after a year or two, then welcome Xie Hengnu into the door. Even if he doesn't get married soon, Xie Qian and him will be considered in-laws.

"My husband is saying that the elder of the cabinet is willing to marry his eldest granddaughter into the Shen family?" Xie Yuner was extremely surprised when she heard the news.

The Xie family is a wealthy family in Yuyao. Xie Qian is now a cabinet grandson, respected and powerful. Xie Hengnu is not a concubine. The serious eldest granddaughter of the Xie family in Yuyao, how could Xie Qian agree to marry his precious granddaughter to Chen Xi as a concubine?

Chen Xi sighed: "I fully respect your opinion on this matter. In fact, I didn't think about how to face the Xie family Miss... It's that Xie Jun'er."

Xie Yuner gave Chen Xi a blank look and said, "My husband knows the name of the lady, and it is a marriage that the old master personally promised. If he doesn't marry, it's really unreasonable. Just... let Miss Xie enter the Shen family as a concubine, is it... too bad to treat it?"

Chen Xi was silent for a moment.

This incident was a bit incredible. Xie Qian was a grand minister of the cabinet, so there was no reason to marry his granddaughter to someone else as a concubine. Shen Xi still didn't understand this matter, so he was speechless.

When Xie Yuner saw Chen Xi silent, she nodded slightly: "My husband has just entered the officialdom, and everyone in the court is easy to be an official. I might as well give up this..."

"Yun'er, there are some words that we couple don't need to hide."

Chen Xi understood what Xie Yuner meant, and immediately interrupted his beloved wife with a serious look on her face, "If you agree, I will discuss with you and my parents and accept the offer at a later date."

"Then Miss Xie..."

"After she entered the door, she was still a concubine." Chen Xidao, "But I will treat everyone equally and not distinguish between the two. You still need to take responsibility for the family matters... Yun'er, thank you for your hard work."

Xie Yuner means that if Chen Xi thinks about the future and insists on marrying Xie Hengnu into the house, she is willing to give up the position of the eldest wife.

But Chen Xi was very determined. What I discussed with Xie Qian was to marry his granddaughter as a concubine. You don’t need to make sacrifices, and what I can do is treat everyone equally.

"This matter is all up to the husband." Xie Yuner's face was a little relieved, "But my husband still talked to Dai'er's sister, afraid that she would think more."

Of course Chen Xi knew Lin Dai's temper.

This matter is put on Xie Yun'er, and Xie Yun'er will consider the overall situation. Thinking that Chen Xi really likes Xie Hengnu and will help Chen Xi to become an official in the future. Marriage with Xie's house will be beneficial to Chen Xi without any harm, so he will naturally agree. But it won't work if it's Lin Dai. This girl doesn't understand what it means to put the overall situation first... As long as I don't like it, I will disagree, unless you can use power to suppress me and force me to admit it.

Chen Xi had already expected that when he was making a secret with Lin Dai, he specially called Yin Wen over, which was equivalent to telling Lin Dai and Yin Wen about the matter at the same time.

"Um?"

When Yin Wen heard that Chen Xi was going to get engaged to Xie Hengnu, he looked at Chen Xi curiously because she didn't understand what this meant.

Lin Dai's nose and eyes frowned, and she said, "Hmph, you have another woman! No! I don't agree!"

Because Lin Dai spoke loudly, Yin Wen was scared. Yin Wen was afraid that Lin Dai would stop her marriage with Chen Xi, so he directly held Chen Xi's waist, leaned his head in Shen Xi's arms, and looked at Lin Dai with a frightened look.

Chen Xidao: "Speak softly, don't scare Xiaowen."

"She doesn't say anything, can she scare her? Humph, you only have Xiaowen in your heart, and that... Miss Xie, I will ignore you again!"

After Lin Dai finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room inside, and closed the door with a "slam".

Chen Xi had long expected that this would be the result, so he had to take Yin Wen out and then go to the old house to discuss with Shen Mingjun and his wife.

Shen Mingjun was a little amused and terrified about Chen Xi's concubine. He didn't understand why his son was so fond of being a woman. He had already married two at home, and Yin Wen and 6 Xier were preparing for it. Another one outside was about to marry.

Zhou asked curiously: "Shanwaer, what is the relationship between Miss Xie... and Yun'er?"

"Mom, it doesn't matter. The Miss Xie I discussed with you is the granddaughter of Master Xie, who is only 14 years old." Chen Xi explained.

"A 14-year-old girl."

Zhou was not very satisfied with Xie Hengnu's age. In her opinion, if she was considering the fact that Chen Xi should have married a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, and she was not even satisfied with the age of seventeen or eighteen, because Lin Dai was eighteen after the New Year, but she couldn't even lay an egg. "Who is this Mr. Xie?"

Chen Xi found that Zhou had almost no idea about the affairs of the court. He had told her about Xie Qian before, but she forgot when she turned around, but she remembered clearly how many eggs laid by a neighbor's hen a day.

Chen Xidao: "Gei Xie is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Prime Minister of the dynasty. He has been walking with his children so much that he respects me and decided to marry his granddaughter."

"Catal Grand Secretary? What an official?"

Zhou continued to break the spirit of asking the whole thing.

Chen Xidao: "Geor Master Xie is now the young master, the prince's grand guarantor, and the official is the first rank."
