Shen Shuwen is a little annoying.

actually……

His life has not been smooth in recent years.

Back then, Shi Wen came to the stage and the Cui family retreated.

As the son-in-law of the Cui family, he was not good at sticking to power, so he could only find an opportunity to resign from his official position and stay dormant for the time being.

He sent his nephew Chen Jiye to study in the capital, and he also had a plan to look forward to the future.

It was just this "future" that made him very upset.

Jianzhou City was broken, Shi Wen was killed, and the Nanchu Kingdom was overthrown.

He originally thought that with his talent and his cousin-sister relationship with Yan Yunge, he could get a single official and half position in the Great Zhou court.

Unexpectedly, there was a Cheng Yaojin and Xiao Yi in the middle.

He really didn't expect that Xiao Yi was a jealous person.

He was still eating the aged vinegar decades ago, and it tasted so good.

He is a teacher without any official position. During his time in Jianzhou City, Xiao Yi visited every few days.

Even if I don’t visit, I will send someone to the door.

At the beginning, everyone didn't know about it and thought that he had a relationship with Xiao Yiduoti.

Later, others resumed one after another, and those who were officials and those who did business were all prosperous.

Just him, nothing.

He didn't even get involved in a minor official.

Others immediately understood that his relationship with Xiao Yi was not too strong, but how bad it was.

Friends who nodded in the past kept their distance from him.

Old friends also shook their heads and sighed to reduce contact.

I was originally teaching well, but I was fired.

I can't afford to offend!

Chen Shuwen is very frustrated!

He was wronged and had no place to seek justice.

He had thought of sending a letter to Yan Yunge and telling Xiao Yi about it.

This idea lasted for three seconds and was firmly rejected by him.

They are all adults who are old and not young, but they are not three-year-olds, so they don’t want to complain.

Let's talk about it...

When he really wanted to write a letter, he was suspected of provoking the relationship between the two saints and their husbands.

Not good, not good!

He can't be this evil man.

What can I do?

I can only hold it in and endure it.

Chen Jiye was not disturbed when studying in the capital. He thought about it and sent his child to the capital to study to test the movements in the capital.

The result is...

Nothing happens!

He shook his head and laughed at himself. A small person like him must have attracted Xiao Yi and was willing to spend time "caring" him.

Yan Yunge has a lot of things to do every day, and I'm afraid he has forgotten that he has a person like him long ago.

Finally, I waited until Xiao Yi left the south and returned to the capital.

He thought he would live a peaceful life from now on.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect that Xiao Yiyuan would never forget him in the capital, and even sent someone to "care" his life.

It's really too much!

But he had no choice.

He will be angry to death one day.

I thought I would live like this for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect Xiao Yi to make trouble again and ask him to become an official in the capital.

What to do?

It is not enough to ridicule him in Jianzhou City, but to ridicule him in the capital?

Is this going to force him into a dead end?

Is it only when he dies that all these grudges and revenge can be settled?

only……

He is not a coward.

He could die in any way, but he could not accept suicide.

Grip your teeth and go.

He went to the capital for a while.

The Cui family advised him not to go, because he would be in danger of going to the capital.

But he had a decision.

Lord Choi Chi-Choe passed away a few years ago.

Cui Wang, a representative of the Cui family generation, invited him to drink and practice it.

Chen Shuwen was surprised, "I thought you were trying to persuade me to stay in Jianzhou."

Cui Wang smiled, "The capital is a wolf's den, and it may be Qingyun Road. Xiao Yi made things difficult for you, but never took your life. Perhaps it was because of Yan Yunge.

He was concerned about Yan Yunge, so he left a little bit of shame to you, just making things difficult for him.

You are asking for blessings when you go to the capital. If you can alarm Yan Yunge, maybe your career will have room for change. Otherwise, just live in the capital!"

"Are you afraid that I will implicate the Cui family?"

"No! Yan Yunge has sent someone to invite me out of the mountain, hoping that the Cui family can serve the new court."

"Congratulations, you must meet Bole." Chen Shuwen's heart was sour. He would not admit that he was jealous.

"But I refused." Cui Zhishi was shocked.

Chen Shuwen was shocked and could not understand at all.

"You, why did you refuse? Is she not sincere enough? Or is it that she gave you a low position?"

"None of them! I am old and plan to live my life. The Cui family should be left to the next generation to lead."

"Where are you old? You are the age of knowing your destiny, and you are still several years away from being obedient. You can fight at least ten years."

Cui Wang laughed, "Do you know, Jiping, Han Qizong, and even the youngest Ling Chang'an, these cabinet ministers, will all retire and enter the nursing home as soon as their term of office arrives next year, and will no longer hold any actual positions.

I am about the same age as them, and they have all retired, so what qualifications do I have to stand in the court?

Can't you understand that Yan Yunge wants middle-aged and young officials, and officials who are energetic and dare to think and do it, rather than officials who are too old to walk.

Since Pingyang County, she has advocated bold innovation and encouraged young people. It is still the case now.

Today, the Great Zhou Dynasty is the youngest in the average age of all dynasties. When I go there, I will only look out of place and feel depressed and unsuccessful.

It is better not to accept the invitation, but instead appear noble and elegant, with a master's demeanor who is separated from the world.

Isn’t it better to open a college, collect students, make a name for itself, and make a name for the Cui family?

Moreover, I am not the only one who does this. If you count the aristocratic families in the world and visionary families, they basically recommend their young people to study and take the imperial examinations.

I, the old man, won’t join in the fun. The new court doesn’t need someone as old as me.”

"You... you don't even take office, and it's meaningless for me to go to the capital. I'm not young anymore, I don't have enough prestige, and I'm not qualified to be an official."

"You are different. You are not old and can continue to work hard for many years. You and Yan Yunge are cousins. You were quite happy back then and you never really broke off contact over the years. You go to the capital and let everything go."

Chen Shuwen picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Does Cui Xiucheng agree with your decision? You refused to become an official, and he didn't say anything?"

Cui Wang said softly: "Choi Xiucheng plans to enter the cabinet, so there should not be too many Cui family members in the court, so you have to avoid suspicion."

"So, are you paving the way for Choi Xiucheng?"

"Yes, or not. The things I said before are all reasons."

Chen Shuwen shook his head and sighed.

That's not the reason, it's clearly an excuse.
