Chapter Fifty-Four The rivals meet with special jealousy

Chen Xi was transferred to the Zhan Shi Mansion to serve as Youzhongyun, Youchunfang, but he still held the title of Hanlin editor. After all, he was still a Hanlin official, which was different from the lower-level officials of the Zhan Shi Mansion.

However, after arriving at Zhan Shi's mansion, Chen Xi's identity changed from a Qinggui Hanlin who was studying in the office to an errand follower who revolved around the prince. There was still some gap in identity...

Fortunately, Shen Xi was mentally prepared for a long time. He came to Zhan Shi Mansion to hone himself. Only by enduring hardships can he become the best!

After leaving Zhan Shi Mansion, Chen Xi went directly to Donghuamen and Dong'anmen Street and Andingmen Street to the old house of Xie's family. When he arrived at the site, he saw that the old house of Xie's family had basically been cleaned up. All the courtyard walls were piled with quicklime to drive away insects and ants. At the same time, the high-quality charcoal was placed in each room to absorb moldy smell, and the furniture was completely renewed. You should be able to move there in a few days.

However, you have to choose an auspicious day before moving, and you have to inform the owner who is currently living in the yard... I, Shen Dazhang, decided not to live in your house in vain and move to your new home immediately.

Chen Xi is not a ungrateful person. He paid the house when he rented a house. Later, he passed the top scorer. He insisted that he would no longer charge him rent. He could not take advantage of being an official, so he ordered Xie Yuner to buy a gift and send it to him himself. The value was basically the same as the rent that had not been paid yet.

"I have to save some money in the future and spend money on my life. I will not have a salary for the next month."

Chen Xi reminded the woman at home, which was actually mainly to remind Lin Dai.

After arriving in the capital, the little girl had already made several new clothes. It seemed that she could not live a life. Fortunately, after Xie Yun'er came, she would have taken care of the family's finances. Otherwise, she would have been relying on Lin Dai, and her family would have been in a state of eating fish and meat at the beginning of the month and eating braised vegetables at the end of the month.

Chen Xi gathered all the gifts given by the Shouning Hou Mansion and locked them up in a room.

Chen Xi was not prepared to enjoy any benefits brought to him by his relatives. Although his "adherence to principles" seems unnecessary for the time being, if Zhang Heling falls and someone wants to bring him to the party of relatives, he must find a reason to excuse him? Then, just instruct someone to promote it.

After the storm of the prince's entrustment, Chen Xi returned to his early and late state when he was on duty at the Hanlin Academy, but he still had to fight for a day of fishing and drying.

When the prince went out of the cabinet to study, he basically found two places. One was in the back hall of Wenhua Hall, and the other was in the place where the prince lived. When the prince was studying, Chen Xi would take a pen to record the book.

What book did the prince memorize and how it was recited? According to the rules, you can add a little personal opinion, such as what suggestions do you have for the prince to read.

But Chen Xi thought he was just a new arrival and was not familiar with anything. He was too young. If he raised his opinions too directly, it would make people feel that he was intentionally showing himself, which was not desirable. So he could only do his duty. He recorded the truth about what the prince looked like in his study. Finally, he compared the manuscripts recorded by Jin Gui. If there was no mistake, he would sort out the records and hand them over to keep them for the emperor to check them at any time.

Overall, this job is quite light and easy, if the prince is not so naughty.

There are few children in the world who like to study, especially the privileged prince of the Eastern Palace. A naughty child was surrounded by a large group of people, but he had very little time to truly settle down and study.

Every day when it is time to study, a large group of people go out to persuade the prince to enter the room to study, begging them all in their hearts, which makes people laugh and cry. Fortunately, these are all things about Japanese lecturers, and Chen Xi can only take a notebook to watch from a distance... The respect for teachers in the concept of naughty children does not include officials like Zhong Yun. Chen Xi took office for half a month and did not say a word to the prince.

In fact, Chen Xi also felt that it was better not to get too close to the prince for the time being. He was silently observing whether this naughty child was really hopeless?

Not knowing how to adapt and blindly wanting to change the prince's temperament may be counterproductive. Not everyone can accept a teacher who can influence him. Chen Xi asked himself that he did not have the ability to make naughty children turn back.

During the summer days, Chen Xi often has to stay in the sun, and it is really miserable to wear it neatly for the sake of demeanor. Every day, I get soaked all over. The first thing I do after I go home is to get water and take a shower. However, there are many women at home, so it is extremely inconvenient to take a bath in the yard.

Fortunately, in early July, the family was able to move to a new home, and Chen Xi had a relatively independent space.

Just at this time, Tingzhou Prefecture sent a letter from home and brought a box of silver. When Song Xiaocheng, Tang Hu and others delivered the money, Chen Xi opened it and saw it. While he was very happy that his new home was rich to decorate, he was also worried that he suddenly had such a large amount of silver. How should he explain it when someone found out?

After moving to the old house of Xie, Chen Xi's bedroom was the main room in the middle courtyard. The main room included a main hall, bedroom and study. Xie Yun'er still lived in her west wing boudoir, Lin Dai lived in the east wing, Ning'er, Xiu'er and Zhu Shan lived in the backyard, and Yun Bo lived in the back room in the front yard.

On the left side of the hanging flower door leading to the middle courtyard, there is a larger room, which will be used as the main hall for guests on weekdays. The southwest corner courtyard facing the main hall is a small garden. There is two rooms to the south and east of the garden, namely the small living room and the study room, but they are currently vacant.

In addition, a corridor on the right side of the gate passes over, and there is a side courtyard that has just been cleaned up. The side courtyard is a courtyard with more than a dozen houses. The servants of the Xie family lived here before.

After Song Xiaocheng entered Beijing, Chen Xi never asked him to live with him because the yard rented was too small and now he moved to a big house. Song Xiaocheng and others were not suitable for living in inns, and the family could not always be "high Yin and Yang declined", so Song Xiaocheng and Tang Hu and his brothers lived in.

Then Xie Yuner made the decision, and Yun Bo served as the housekeeper.

Song Xiaocheng was nominally the leader of the family, but Yun Bo could not dispatch Song Xiaocheng. After all, Song Xiaocheng was a member of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce and was still responsible for contacting Fatty Zhou. So, if there was something at home, Xie Yuner decided to do it, and then ordered Yun Bo to discuss it with a few maids.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it is mid-July. Chen Xi's family moved to their new home for a while, but said that someone sent an invitation that day. When Song Xiaocheng handed it to Chen Xi, he almost didn't spit blood... It was Hong Zhui who met before the exam at the beginning of the year.

Chen Xi was reluctant to face Hong Zhui, mainly because of Xie Yuner.

Chen Xi saw Hong Zhuo's infatuation with Xie Yuner. Although he was very sympathetic, he relied on one code. The Hong family broke off the engagement first and then married his wife later. Xie Yuner actually had no relationship with Hong Zhuo. Chen Xi would never give in to this "old friend".

After all, he and Xie Yuner are formal couples. They have been together and have been recognized by the two families.

Chen Xi thought Hong Zhuo was here to "set the accounts" with him. Chen Xi could not pay attention to it, but he felt that something was not enough to not say clearly, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the agreed place.

In order to prevent it, Chen Xi took Song Xiaocheng and Tang Hu to avoid a disagreement. He had to have a helper.

Hong Zhuo had been waiting in the teahouse for a long time. When he saw Chen Xi, he had a little disappointment on his face and sighed at the end, "I knew that it must be Mr. Chen who came."

It sounds like it's disappointing.

Chen Xi thought about it for a moment and understood it. He bowed his hand and said without saying anything. Instead, Hong Zhuo said politely: "Young Master Chen... Oh no, I should call you Chen Xiushu. Student Hong Zhuo, you are polite."

Hanlin Academy is a holy place for scholars all over the world. The officials of Hanlin Academy are naturally the "teacher commanders" of scholars all over the world. Hong Zhuo claimed that he was not bad in front of Shen Xi, but this title made Chen Xi feel very awkward.

Seeing that Hong Zhuo had only brought a servant from his hometown and had no intention of making things difficult for him, Chen Xi sat down and let Hong Zhuo pour him tea.

"I heard that the old house of Xie was redeemed by the old owner. I thought it was the girl of Xie who had returned, but when I thought about it carefully, I should know that it was the editor Chen Xiu's mediation. I was thinking too much." Hong Zhuo sighed.

In the past, Chen Xi regarded Hong Zhuo as an old friend, and they still felt a little close to each other, but this time he came, he felt that the two had no common language and would not let go of Xie Yun'er, just as Hong Zhuo would never give up on Xie Yun'er, and there would naturally be conflicts and estrangements between the two.

Men are very selfish when it comes to emotional issues. Even if Hong Zhuo gets married, he still wants to take Xie Yuner as his concubine. Therefore, when he met Chen Xi before, he was so concerned about whether Xie Yuner was married.

However, he still didn't know that Xie Yuner had returned to the capital after hearing what Hong Zhuo said.

Chen Xi nodded: "I really found someone to redeem the house."

Hong Zhuo said: "Okay, if the girl from Xie returns to the capital in the future, she will have a temporary place to live, but I think she is already a wife... she will never return to the sad place in the capital. Chen Xiu, have you asked someone to send my letters to you back to Tingzhou to her?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, you think I am stupid, Xie Yuner is the one whom she is married now, and I will pass on the love letter to my wife for others?

Chen Xi did have the idea of ​​handing the letter to Xie Yuner in the past, but it was based on the fact that the two of them had a name but nothing. Chen Xi followed the principle of honesty and did not want to hide anything. But after Xie Yuner arrived in Beijing, he changed his mind because there was more of a couple between him and Xie Yuner, and he would not be stupid when the two of them settled their house later.

"I have asked someone to send it back. As for whether she will see it, and what she thinks after seeing it, it is unknown." Chen Xidao.

Hong Zhuo didn't say anything more, but his eyes were a little dim.

Chen Xi changed the topic and asked about Hong Zhuo’s study status.

Hong Zhuo said: "I failed the exam at the beginning of the year and waited for three years before the exam. However, my father has already found someone in the court to arrange errands for me... I guess he will serve in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and may be a minister in the same hall as Chen Xiushuo in the future."

Chen Xi nodded. He was supposed to be a civil servant family before, but after arriving in the capital, he realized that the Hong family was actually a noble family. Although such a family was not as glorious as a civil servant, because the title and official positions could be passed down from generation to generation, they could still walk around the capital.

Chen Xi knew that even if he won the top scorer, he might not be as good as Hong Zhuo, a juren in the officialdom. However, the two of them became officials in different systems and there would basically be no intersection in their careers, let alone worry that Hong Zhuo would become his boss in the future and retaliate against him in the officialdom.

"Speaking of this, I am really envious of Mr. Hong." Chen Xi said in a slightly complimentary tone.

Hong Zhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I could exchange it for the Xie girl, even if I was a simple meal and worked in the mountains, I would be enough to be poor in this life!"

Chen Xi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. Now a man is expressing his feelings to his wife. Fortunately, Xie Yuner has no feelings for Hong Zhuo for a long time, otherwise he would have really been worried about this.

However, Hong Zhuo quickly smiled as if he was relieved and said, "I have a happy event to tell Chen Xiu. My wife... is now pregnant and will be a father in the near future."

Chen Xigong bowed and said, "Congratulations."

Hong Zhuo's face became a little deeper, but he still replied casually: "Happy together."

Chen Xi thought disdainfully, your son is not mine, who is happy with you?
