Chapter 37

Having a horse and not having a horse are completely different concepts. Originally, it would take a day to walk [-] miles, but the horse galloped and returned to Wanghai County in two hours. After spending half a day, I returned home.

After asking the family members, knowing that Shi Xie was still in the yamen, he asked Shangguan Wan'er to stay at home, but he brought Xue Qiang, Jiao Ting and Yeluzhu to the yamen.

"Are you willing to come back?" When Shi Hui came to the yamen, Shi Xie was still correcting official documents. Without Shi Zhi's help, the work pressure was much higher. It was a bit difficult for him at the age of 53, so he knew that Shi Hui came in. He didn't look up either.

"Father, my son has a talent, and I want to introduce you!" Shi Hui stepped forward and bowed his hands.But Jiao Ting and Xue Qiang behind them didn't move, they knew their abilities, and they were not worthy of Shi Hui's recommendation to Shi Xie.

"Oh, I heard that you took three men and one woman with you in the village, how come there are three of them?" Shi Xie looked up and asked immediately.

"One of them has already been brought home. The baby and that Shangguan Wan'er have the same affection. She comes from Hongnong Shangguan's family, so she is well-matched..." Shi Hui was worried that Shi Xie had a bad impression of Shangguan Wan'er, so he quickly tried to tell her good words.

"Don't forget, your second uncle is already proposing marriage to the Cai family!" Shi Xie replied before he could finish speaking.

"Wan'er's family is in decline, and she can't afford a dowry. She doesn't plan to marry the baby, but just hopes that the baby will take it in..." Shi Hui said slowly, and the meaning was very clear. He was just taking a concubine, not marrying a wife.

"You can accept her only after your second uncle writes back!" Shi Xie looked at Shi Hui, and finally said angrily.I also feel that this son is absurd, how can a superior take a concubine when he marries a wife?
"Of course this child knows!" Of course Shi Hui didn't dare to disobey Shi Xie's decision. The key point was that he knew very well that taking a concubine before marrying a wife would damage his reputation, let alone the talented Cai Yan .

In fact, Shi Xie's more consideration is to know more about who this Shangguan Wan'er is.It is said that she is very beautiful, so I can't help worrying whether it is deliberately seducing Shi Hui.If there is any dishonest woman, it can only do a lot of harm to Shi Hui but not any benefit.

Then he looked around Shi Hui. There were three men, two of whom were obviously warriors, but they were following behind Shi Hui. Obviously they were not the talents he wanted to recommend.The key is that the last person was standing beside Shi Hui, so he took a few extra glances.

First of all, it is certain that this is a scholar with a refined and refined temperament, which is closer to that of a hermit.He is not very old, and he seems to have just reached the crown, but he doesn't know how to learn.

"Who is this?" Shi Xie knew that he would not speak, and Shi Hui did not dare to continue recommending, so he asked casually.

Shi Hui didn't speak, but gave Yeluzhu his eyes. The latter smiled, stepped forward to salute Shixie, and said slowly: "Jixian Yeluzhu, whose name is Chengzhong, pays homage to your lord! Six generations ago, The ancestors were Xianbei people, and later lived in the Han Dynasty, so they were given the surname Liu, also known as Liu Zhu."

Shi Hui couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, but then he remembered that there was a record saying that Liao Taizu admired Han Gaozu, and Yelu's family was also called Liu's family, so Yelu Abaoji's Chinese name was Liu Yi.As for Yeluzhu's use of Chinese names, it is probably to conceal his identity.

"Leaving aside the ancestors, since they have been naturalized, they should claim to be Han people." Shi Xie did not intend to pursue it. There are now 40 people in Jiaozhi County, and only 30 Han people, but there are naturalized Yue people and Nanmans. [-], according to Han laws, they lived in Han for three generations and paid taxes to the Han court, so they were considered Han people.

Although the laws of the Han Dynasty are so, Yue people and barbarians also know how to adapt.They built villages and lived in the mountains, and the patriarchs were local emperors.Although there are taxes, the customs and language of the barbarians and Yue people are relatively maintained, and there are not many people who can speak Chinese. Such an existence, Shi Xie does not think that these people are Han people.In his opinion, there are only 3 people in Jiaozhi County who can truly be called Han people. Of course, the number has risen to [-] now.

"The little one has always been proud of being the son of the Han family!" Yeluzhu replied very earnestly.

Shi Xie nodded, and asked about his talent and learning, only then did he know that Yeluzhu was really capable.At such a young age, he is already full of economics and has a talent for government affairs.After talking, I found that he still understands military affairs, but I don't know if he is talking about military affairs on paper.

Even so, it is not easy to have such knowledge, it is rare to be young and have great potential.

"Cheng Zhong, you are full of knowledge and talent. With my ability, I can completely honor you..." Shi Xie looked at Yeluzhu tentatively.

"Leaving home and not returning, how can we talk about being Xiaolian? Just ask your lord to give you a meal!" Yelu Zhu bowed his hands, it is impossible to praise Xiaolian, and one can find out that he is a remnant of the Yellow Turban , then he will be in trouble.

"That's easy to say!" Shi Xie could see that he was a storyteller, "I need a book assistant by my side, if you don't mind..."

"Thank you sir, Liu Zhu!" Yeluzhu immediately bowed to Shi Xie upon hearing this, assuming he had accepted the position.He is not stupid, Shu Zuo is not popular, but he follows Shi Xie every day, and he may not be able to make further progress in the future.

Yeluzhu was stayed by Shi Xie that day, and after half an hour's trial, he was able to start working immediately.The two cooperated more and more smoothly, and a bunch of official duties were completed in less than an hour.It would take three hours to solve the problem if it was changed to Shi Zhi.

"Not bad, he's a young hero!" Shi Xie's impression of Yeluzhu has improved a lot at this time, at least he is a truly talented person, but he doesn't know what his character is, and he still needs follow-up examinations.

"Cheng Zhong should have just arrived in Longbian, and he doesn't have a house yet?" Shi Xie asked with a smile.

"This subordinate is indeed worried about this." Yeluzhu immediately put on a troubled look.

"How about this! Since you have become my secretary, you will stay at Shi's house for the next two days. I will find a house for you in Longbian, so that you can have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." Shi Xie said kindly.

"Thank you sir!" Yeluzhu naturally put on a grateful expression.

That night, Shi Xie took Yeluzhu home, arranged for him to live in the guest room, and even hosted a banquet for him. Of course, Jiao Ting and Xue Qiang were also included. Xue Qiang is more like a military family, with a certain degree of military literacy, but this Jiao Ting is just a reckless man with no force, not worth mentioning.

As for Shangguan Wan'er, it seemed that Shi Hui's mother contacted her in private, but she was very happy to find Shi Xie when she turned around, and told him how virtuous and well-behaved she was, how well-educated and reasonable she was, the key was that she was beautiful, but her butt was a bit small, The chest is not big enough, which is not conducive to fertility.

The mother's focus is always on how many grandchildren the daughter-in-law can bring to her, while what Shi Xie values ​​is how much influence this woman will have on his son.In ancient times there were Daji, Baosi, and Xishi, and later there was Zhao Feiyan. Shixie was also worried that his most promising son would be addicted to female sex.

It's just that he can't get in touch with Shangguan Wan'er directly, so he just asked Shi Hui's personal maid Xiaoyao to pay attention.He also told his wife to pay more attention, and at the same time, he was waiting for his second brother's reply.

 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
