With Hui Niang's "death", the business of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, Fujian Association and the Carriage Gang was stopped, and even the previous plan of Chenxi to integrate the Beijing Carriage Train had to temporarily stop.

It was when the turmoil was tight that the court plundered too much of the private capital. Chen Xi spent a lot of money to save Hui Niang, and even the remaining little property was almost emptied. Chen Xi lost the confidence of whether to maintain commercial operations in the future.

October has passed in a blink of an eye, and the provincial examination has come to an end. Even Hui Niang’s tail seven has been burned out and the mourning hall has been withdrawn. Zhou is about to return to the capital.

The Yin family arrived in the capital as early as mid-September. The family had no place to stay for the time being, so they lived in the Lu family mansion sent back by the Ministry of Revenue opposite the Xie Mansion.

There are not many people from the Yin family who come to Beijing. In addition to Yin Wen's grandmother and parents, there is also Yin Wen, a younger brother who is in his infancy. The Yin family's property is gone and the family is divided after being released from prison. Yin Wen has a settlement, so Mrs. Yin brought her son and daughter-in-law to join Chenxi, hoping to get the protection of Chenxi.

Things change, this is the most intuitive feeling of Chen Xi.

Thinking of talking and laughing with Manager Yin on the bank of the Baima River, the person was gone in a blink of an eye, but Yin Wen has become an indispensable part of his back home.

That day, Chen Xi took Yin Wen to see her grandmother and parents. Yin Wen was so happy that she arrived in front of the old man and kept holding Chen Xi with her hands, as if saying, "I'll take my husband back to her parents' home."

Yin Wen's father is a honest man, somewhat similar to Shen Mingjun. Yin Wen's mother does not have much knowledge and is not as ostentatious as Zhou.

Chen Xi had dinner at Yin's house and wanted to keep Yin Wen and stay with her family for one night, but the little girl pulled Chen Xi tightly, hoping that Chen Xi could stay.

"Mr. Shen, take Xiaowen back."

Mrs. Yin showed a comforting smile on her face, "This girl is so lucky, with the care of her, so let us see her during the holidays in the future."

A hint of confusion appeared in Yin Wen's originally clear and bright eyes, not understanding why the people he liked could not live together.

Chen Xi asked with a smile: "Xiaowen, follow me or stay?"

"Well?"

Yin Wen pouted and thought for a while and said, "Let's go together."

Yin Wen teased his younger brother for a while, and then he reluctantly left with Chen Xi.

When she arrived on the carriage, the little girl hugged Chen Xi with her hands. The more she lost it, the more she made the little girl understand the preciousness of her possession. Her attachment to Chen Xi came from her original heart. She didn't understand anything else, but she only knew that she would be happy with Chen Xi and had an inexplicable sense of security.

As for favor or his status in the Shen family in the future, Yin Wen would not care about it.

On the fourth day of the winter moon, heavy snow in the capital.

This is the second snowfall after winter.

It was the Little Ice Age and the climate was abnormal. Usually, starting in early October, the capital city will start to snow due to the cold wave. Now it will only snow in the winter months, which is quite late.

This day was the day when Shen Mingjun and his wife returned to the capital.

Chen Xi sent Song Xiaocheng and others out of the city to greet him in advance. On this day, Chen Xi went to the East Palace to give a lecture. He wrapped in a heavy winter clothes and stepped on the snow covering his boots, and went to Xiefang Palace with Jin Gui and other Zhongyun officials and servants.

"Son Wang has returned from Nanjing and will hold a banquet to entertain his colleagues tomorrow. Will Brother Chen receive an invitation?" As he walked, Jin Gui suddenly asked.

"I haven't met anyone before!"

Chen Xi also heard that Wang Hua had returned to Beijing after the Yingtian Mansion examination after the Yingtian Mansion provincial examination. He said with a little regret: "I'm afraid I don't have time to attend the banquet. My father and mother have just come from their ancestral home. The family will be more busy these days. Brother Jin will help me and apologize for me."

Jin Gui smiled and nodded to show his understanding.

While chatting, the two of them came to the outside of Xiefang Hall together. Some eunuchs were cleaning up the snow, but because the heavy snow was still falling, the place was just cleaned up and the back was covered with snowflakes.

In the Ming Dynasty, the number of palace maids and eunuchs was far greater than that of other dynasties, which caused the problem of bloated institutions and overmanagement. The court had to support so many eunuchs and palace maids, but these people had no more things to do on weekdays. It was just right for them to come in handy on snowy days like this.

"The prince is resting. Please wait in there, gentlemen."

Before they knew it, the Eastern Palace had changed its attendants. Liu Jin and others who often showed up did not appear again. They changed into several unconventional faces, but they were all old eunuchs of grade in the palace.

These old eunuchs spoke very politely. They used to work in remote yamen in the 24th Prison, but they could never see their success. Now that they came to the prince to serve, their careers can be regarded as a great leap. In their eyes, the lecturer of the Eastern Palace is a very sacred official position.

Zhu Houzhao likes to be lazy. It is not uncommon for Chen Xi, Jin Gui and others to be late. It is rare to be snowy days. At this time, naughty children are mostly having snowball fights with eunuchs and palace maids, rather than resting as the nearby servant said.

"Chen Yude, what do you think?" When he arrived at Xiefang Palace, Jin Gui showed his respect for Chen Xi, the Shangguan.

As a lecturer, Chen Xi gave a speech alone and had the responsibility to advise the prince to study. However, Chen Xi ran at home and Hui Niang. At this moment, he felt a little tired and smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, sit down and wait."

There were many attendants and officials in the Eastern Palace, but Chen Xi spoke, so he sat down and rested.

About an hour later, Zhu Houzhao was still missing. Chen Xi had no choice but to go to the back hall to see what the naughty child was doing.

After crossing Liulimeng and entering the middle hall of Xiefang Hall, he was shocked. A palace maid ran out of tears crying from the back hall, and there were other women's voices in the hall.

Zhu Houzhao is actually playing with women?

"Prince?"

Chen Xi was about to step forward, but was stopped by an eunuch on duty. Chen Xi could only shout and remind him to come.

"What are you doing? I am sick and I won't go to class today. I'll go out and say to my husband hahaha." Zhu Houzhao's arrogant voice came from inside, and there was also the whine of the palace maids.

Chen Xi's anger arose from his heart.

Did you, a naughty child, learn what I taught into your dog's belly? Let you be responsible, not let you play with women at a young age!

By the way, you are an undeveloped little brat. Even if you put a woman in front of you, what can you do?

The eunuch was about to continue to stop him, but this time Chen Xi rushed up and kicked open the door of the back hall.

Suddenly, there were two palace maids tidying up their clothes in front of Zhu Houzhao, and there were a few dodging beside them.

"you!"

Zhu Houzhao's clothes were quite complete. Obviously, he didn't understand what happened between men and women. I think this naughty child is almost twelve years old now. He is just when he is confused about men and women. He has a strong curiosity about women, knowing the reason but not the reason.

Zhu Houzhao was very playful when someone suddenly broke in. She was about to shout, but when she saw clearly that it was Chen Xi, he immediately lowered his head in shame.

Chen Xi waved his hand, and several palace maids in the room quickly packed up their clothes and covered their faces and left the back hall.

"Do you know what you are doing?" Chen Xi shouted angrily.

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said with dissatisfaction: "I didn't treat them, I just asked them to untidy their clothes and show them to me. Mr. Chen, it seems that you can't come in here, right?"

Zhu Houzhao is no longer the ignorant young man. She has already learned to change the topic and turn Chen Xi’s criticism of him into his inquiry of Chen Xi.

Chen Xidao: "When I go to the East Palace to give lectures, I have to accompany the prince at all times and advise the prince every word and action. The prince does not ask about morning class, so why not come in to urge him?"

Chen Xi means that the premise of my disorderly rules is that you break the rules yourself first. I just want you to go back to attend the class. In terms of eloquence, Zhu Houzhao cannot compare with Chen Xi at all. As soon as these words were said, Zhu Houzhao was speechless.

"Go to class!"

Chen Xi shouted, but he also knew that the person in front of him was not his son, and that he was the Zhengde Emperor in history who was famous for his injustice and nonsense.

Chen Xi and Zhu Houzhao left the bedroom, and before they arrived at the front hall, Zhu Houzhao caught up with him a few steps and asked, "Sir, tell me, how did I come from?"

"You were born from the queen in ten months of pregnancy." Chen Xi replied.

"That's what my mother has to do alone. Why does her mother still marry her father?" Zhu Houzhao's face was confused.

Chen Xi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said seriously: "When you grow up, you will naturally understand."

Zhu Houzhao protested dissatisfiedly: "Others say this, but the gentleman told me that if you have any questions, you should try to find out the truth. So I want to see what is different from me. Hey, I have really discovered a lot of them."

"No matter what you find, it has nothing to do with the class you are going to attend today." Chen Xi said angrily.

This naughty child is becoming more and more evil. Most people's children reach the stage of enlightenment during adolescence and have the heart but not the conditions. However, once this naughty child seeks truth, he can do whatever he wants. He is originally a nonsense. When he truly understands the matter between men and women at the age of thirteen or fourteen, how can there be fewer women around him?

Instinct in nature, men want to capture women. As the prince, Zhu Houzhao has unique conditions and likes to mess around. Now, there is only one way to curb his nature, which is to use the shackles of morality and etiquette to trap him and let him learn to cultivate his mind and cultivate his nature.

But now it seems that this road is full of difficulties and obstacles.

"Sir, just tell me, no one else tells me. If you are the same, then I will ask them to go tonight and I don't understand. There will always be someone who understands it, or I can research it myself."

Zhu Houzhao relied on Chen Xi not being able to keep an eye on him at all times and said in a threatening tone.

This threat was also taught by Chen Xi, and it is currently used by the teacher.

Chen Xi sighed helplessly: "If you want to know, you can go to class honestly first. After the course is over, I will explain it to you."

That being said, Chen Xi was wondering in his heart, if he really told the naughty child about men and women, wouldn’t this be instigating him to commit a crime in disguise?

With the naughty child's character, he will definitely make a try when he knows it. When he understands that some things he cannot do, he will doubt his life.

When the emperor and the queen know about the matter, Chen Xi, the initiator, will face severe punishment.

Teach my son to tease the palace maids at a young age?

Is this your style of being a role model?

However, with Chen Xi's promise, the naughty child was extremely happy. The questions he had been lingering in his heart since he was a child would soon have answers. The desire for knowledge caused him to listen to lectures in class.

During lunch, Jin Gui came over to remind Chen Xi: "Brother Chen, the prince seems to be in a bad mood today."

"Um."

Chen Xi nodded without saying anything in detail.

A naughty child who is lazy and not at all honesty in class on weekdays suddenly listens carefully and asks questions on his own initiative. It would be strange if he can get the right one!

As soon as the afternoon class ended, Zhu Houzhao quickly rushed to Chen Xi and asked, "Mr. Chen, I listened very seriously today, right? Should you tell me about how to have a baby?"

This was right and was heard by Jin Gui.

Jin Gui had already put down his pen and was about to pack up his things and leave. At this moment, he immediately became energetic. He dipped his brush in ink again and looked at Chen Xi sympathetically, as if saying, Brother Chen, don’t blame me, my task is to record the prince’s words, deeds and daily life. I will remember whatever you say, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty.
