Xie Ju, who had been running around for a day and was taken aback by Han Ji's big gift, was invited by the steward sent by Mrs. Han to live in Qitong Garden next door. This courtyard was originally the courtyard where Xie Shiwei lived temporarily before he was injured. There is only one wall away from the West Courtyard. Who would have thought that this distinguished guest had not stayed for a few days before encountering such unfortunate incidents as assassination. At that time, Han Ji, who had a terrifying aura, was like a giant dragon whose treasure had been moved by someone, and directly "captive" him. "Going back to the nest and watching, you have to put Xie Shi on your own territory to watch at ease.

Even if Young Master Xie wakes up later, the people below will not lose sight of the fact that the two of them moved out of the west courtyard with the premise.Xie Ju had just arrived here, and he didn't know about his son's assassination. He thought that Xie Shi had a close friendship with Han Shanzhang, and they lived in the same courtyard.

After Xie Ju left, Han Ji glanced at the sky suddenly, and said to Xie Shi: "The sky is about to change, let's go back." Sure enough, after a while, the two of them just entered the house, and the haze was everywhere outside. Snow.

Xie Shi stood in front of the leaky window in the corridor of the sandwich room, looked at the snow scene outside through the window, and said softly: "I heard that there is much more rain and snow this winter than in previous years. I think the harvest in the coming year will definitely be great. I don't know the new crops I cultivated. Can we still have a good harvest after the trial sowing of rice seeds?"

When Han Ji handed Xie the sleeve stove to warm his hands, his hands were empty, and comforted him: "No rush, take your time."

Xie Shi smiled and sighed shallowly: "How can we not be in a hurry? I heard that Quanzhou has been captured by General Qi, and now only Tingzhou is left, and all Fujian is in Brother Ji's pocket. Brother Ji is fast enough. But to conquer the world, food and grass go first, no matter what, we must accumulate food widely."

Xie Shi talked for a long time, but he didn't hear any reaction from the people around him. He looked up strangely, and slammed into a pair of long, narrow and deep black eyes. Those eyes that used to look down on all sentient beings without joy or sorrow, only reflected Xie Shi at this moment. A small microcosm, if the eyes were like a silent and mysterious night in the past, with occasional stars shining, then now these eyes are the sea under the sun, with slight waves and shining brightly.

"Ashi's words, do you mean what you think?" Although the man's voice was still deep, his eagerness could be detected from his slightly faster than usual speaking speed.

Xie Shi did not answer directly, but said: "Shi is a person who loves prosperity very much. He only wishes to live in a long and peaceful world, a prosperous and prosperous country, a land of flowers and willows, a gentle and rich town. Everything will come to naught one day."

Han Ji couldn't see the sadness between his brows, so he solemnly promised: "With Ji here, everything will be as Ah Shi wishes."

Hearing this, the expression on Xie Shi's face froze.The corridor of the sandwich room leaks out of the window, the wind and snow are getting stronger, the snow is full of feet, and the chalcedony flying qiong is charming.The young man with the posture of a fairy handed the sleeve furnace to the left and right attendants, then Yingying raised the sleeve robe, bowed slowly, and solemnly gave a big gift to the person in front of him, saying: "Then, when I thank you, I hope to come to Japan , Ming Gong Weide will be added to the world, when the time comes, the boy will be young, but he will learn writing, the gray old man will not know how to fight, the characters will be prosperous, the peace will last for a long time, the eight wastes will compete, and the world will be connected. And thank you for your subordinates , hang fame on bamboo silk ears."

Han Ji stepped forward to help him up. Facing the corporal who swore allegiance to him, he did not promise him high officials and rich salary like ordinary lords, so as to win over talented people.After Xie Shi's words of allegiance, he just helped the young man up, took advantage of the situation and held his wrist tightly, with a firm and sharp brow, and answered loudly, promising, "Okay."

On this day, on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month in the year of Xinmao, and the 11th year of the Mongolian Dynasty, Xie Shi invited himself to serve under Han Ji's command. It was called Xie Zigui Chu in history, also known as the combination of the two saints. It is generally believed by later generations that Emperor Wu officially opened the The way to conquer the world.

Coming out of the government office, the weather was fine, Cen Yu took a group of subordinates into the carriage, met Qiu Zhi and other colleagues at the gate of the office, and all rushed to Han's house for a banquet.

On the carriage, a group of colleagues and subordinates who only knew their names and had never met inquired about each other.

An agricultural official who had just returned to Fuzhou from Jianning to report to Han Ji asked Qiu Zhi, "Mr. Qiu, I heard that Mr. Xie has bred a kind of immortal rice that can increase the yield per mu to eight stones. It is absolutely true. ?”

Qiu Zhi stroked his long beard and nodded, "That's true. The name of this rice is 'Qiongzhou Short'."

Everyone who heard it was startled, and the agricultural official even laughed, "A strange man! With this fairy rice, why should my lord worry about food and grass! The rice will be broadcast on the first day of spring, and there will be two harvests in the next summer, and the grain in the warehouse will be doubled!"

Qiu Zhi shook his head, "According to Mr. Xie, the 'Qiongzhou Short' variety still needs to undergo a trial sowing in the spring of the next year. If there are no accidents, it can be widely trial planted."

"Extremely, extremely." Can be appointed by Han Ji as an agricultural political officer. This person must have made achievements in farming and mulberry. He naturally understands this reason. I have a chance to chat with Mr. Xie. I heard that the Xie Zhuang plow and the method of fertilizing the field that are popular around Le County are from his hands. I was lucky enough to see it, and it is really effective; The strategy of controlling the Yellow River by stagnating sand in the river, this method can be described as a different approach, which is inspiring. From all these, it can be seen that Mr. Xie is a genius in the fields of water conservancy, agriculture and mulberry.”

The colleague next to him laughed and said, "Zi Ren's words are wrong. Mr. Xie is not only proficient in farming and water conservancy, but do you know who made the Bazhen Pavilion products that the high-ranking officials and nobles are rushing to buy?"

A bystander added: "There are also three most profitable things in the master's hands, cement, icing sugar and snowflake salt..."

The farmer's name was Gao Feng, and his name was Zi Ren. He was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in surprise: "All of this is, after all, the work of Mr. Xie?"

It was the first time for some of the lower officials on the side to hear about Mr. Xie's deeds. At this moment, they were all like Gao Feng, and they were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.At the corner of the carriage, a small official suddenly asked: "Masters, do you know how old or how old this Mr. Xie is?"

Most of the people present have never met Xie Shi, and they have no friendship, so naturally they don't know such private news, only Qiu Zhi asked: "Why did Xu Lingshi ask such a question?"

The little official who was in charge of the clerical work was a handsome young man. When he saw Shangfeng's question, he was a little flattered and replied: "To be honest, Xiaguan's ancestors have a deep relationship with Zipingshu, and Xiaguan has learned a lot from it. Listen to it today." Seeing Mr. Xie's deeds, I can't help but have some guesses about his fate, so I asked this question." Zipingshu refers to fortune-telling related to horoscope.

Qiu Zhi looked a little surprised, "Mr. Ling Shizu is from the lineage of Mr. Dongzhai from Qiantang?" The Mr. Dongzhai that Qiu Zhi said was the famous Taoist Xu Dasheng from the previous dynasty. The ancestor's work "Yuanhai Ziping" was compiled and summarized by Xu Dasheng according to the theory of numerology of his ancestors.

The young man nodded, and the other officials and colleagues looked sideways. I didn't expect that some of them had such a family background!Qiu Zhi raised his eyebrows, let Xu Lingshi listen to him, and said a few words to him.After Xu Lingshi listened to it, he bowed his head and pinched his fingers carefully, still chanting some formula in his mouth.After a while, he looked shocked, "It's really the appearance of a nobleman in Tianyi! Doesn't this just fit what I calculated before..."

Most of the people here are studying the studies of Confucius and Mencius, and they don’t know much about numerology, so naturally they can’t understand Xu Lingshi’s surprised attitude. Only Qiu Zhi, under the guidance of Cen Yu, read some ancient books on this aspect , I know a thing or two at this time.

Tianyi, the god of heaven, is located outside the closed gate of Ziweiyuan, juxtaposed with Taiyi, and is the emperor of the emperor. It is said that his god is extremely noble, and wherever he goes, all murders are hidden and avoided.If you are lucky enough to meet this assistant, the young ones will achieve fame early, the official salary will be easy to advance, and the noble ones can even ascend to the position of the master.

Regarding this episode, Qiu Zhi only said to the people in the seat, "Colleagues just listen to it, and don't spread it to the outside world. Mr. Xie is the most important person in the Lord. No matter what, this is a good thing." Hands in hand say yes, no one speaks.It's a joke, if you have such a noble person in your family, you naturally have to hide it well and publicize it outside, in case you are recruited by someone, you will beat your chest and stamp your feet.

"Before going out, I thought the sky would be sunny, but I didn't expect it to rain and snow halfway! When we got out of the carriage, we bumped into our group who forgot to bring an umbrella." On the corridor, Cen Yu and the people behind While walking, he patted the snow flakes off his shoulders and hair, and the attendants on the left and right saw them, and hurriedly handed clean handkerchiefs to the officials.Cen Yu took it, wiped it carelessly, then sat down in front of Xie Shi, and said this.

"Hey, Xie Lang is quite leisurely and elegant today, 'Green Ant's new fermented wine, a small red clay stove. It's going to snow in the evening, can you have a drink?'"

Xie Shi took down the copper pot from the small red clay stove, poured you a cup of hot tea, and replied: "There is no green ant wine here, so please trouble Mrs. Cen and just drink a cup of clear tea." Cen Yu took it , "The tea poured by Xie Lang himself, even clear tea is intoxicating."

Xie Shi looked at him quietly, his expression unchanged, but a group of colleagues and subordinates around Cen Gu'an couldn't bear to look directly at him, and went straight to accuse Xie Shi.

Qiu Zhi said directly: "Lord Cen, don't be unreasonable."

"Which kid recruited us to Tanwei to accuse him? Let the old man see."

Xie Shi saw that it was Mr. Song Xi Song, and Mr. Song Shou and Han Ji were walking beside him.Everyone present stood up and saluted. Cen Yu, who was flirting with the beauty just now, was frightened when he saw his master coming. He wished he could slap himself twice and make you mean!

Xie Shi also got up, went forward, and greeted the two great Confucian scholars, "The two gentlemen are here, why don't you say a word, so Shi can go out to greet you."

Song Xi waved his hand directly, stepped forward and took a closer look at his face: "It's freezing cold, why do you need to come to greet him? I heard that you were assassinated and seriously injured, boy Xie. Now you still have to rest well and don't need to work hard."

Song Shou also came forward to inquire. Originally, Song Shou had a good impression of Xie Shi, the young man, so he took the initiative to invite him to borrow the books in Qianxi Pavilion. Later, Xie Shi saved Song Shou's youngest son by chance. From then on, The entire Song family even regarded Xie Shi as their honored guest. This time when Song Shou came to the banquet, his wife repeatedly urged him to ask how Xie Shi was doing.

"Thanks to the blessings of the gentlemen and Brother Ji's careful care, there is no serious problem."

Song Xi was white-haired, wearing a blue padded robe with no ornamentation on his clothes. Hearing this, he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "You have saved Xi Sheng from disaster. He should take care of you."

Xie Shi laughed, and suddenly said, "To be able to block the sword with my body for the lord, my resume as a minister is quite glorious?"

His simple ridicule shocked everyone who heard it. Even Mr. Song Xi's complexion changed. He cast a questioning look at Han Ji. Han Ji nodded, but said to everyone in his mouth. "However, Ah Shi's words are wrong. Ah Shi is not Ji's subordinate, but Ji's confidant and Ji's teacher. There will never be a second time to block the sword!"

Xie Shi was stunned on the spot, and before he knew it, his ears turned red...

In front of everyone, why did Brother Ji say such nasty things!

The author has something to say:

Xie Shi’s swearing of allegiance was adapted from the sentences in "Dream of Red Mansions", "Tokyo Menghualu", and "Book of Later Han·Deng Yu".
