When Yan Yunquan learned that the Shen family came, he rushed to the county lord's mansion as a companion.

He proposed to take Chen Shuwen out to see the scenery of the capital, and by the way, he introduced a couple of connections to him.

They are all relatives, so they should be closer to each other.

Mrs. Xiao thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

She reciprocates, "If you want to find an errand in the capital and follow the path of Ling Changzhi, with your talent and knowledge, it will be difficult. It is better for me to come forward for you, have a real lack of official position and don't have to be idle at least."

Yan Yunquan was overjoyed and bowed to thank him repeatedly.

He really didn't expect that Xiao would actually find a flaw in the court for him. Even if he had a small official position, he would have entered the official career seriously.

At this moment, he was so excited that he almost cried.

Because if he had no progress in seeking an official in the capital, he would have to return to Shanggu County and listen to the enemy in the army.

When he came to the capital, he was full of energy.

Two or three years passed in a blink of an eye, and nothing was achieved. Apart from meeting a group of young men, it was a real failure.

Unexpectedly, he just abides by the responsibilities of the eldest son of the Yan family. Thinking of the relatives and the male guest, he should have greeted him, but he would be surprised.

Why don't he be happy?

It also shows that Xiao attaches great importance to Shen Shuwen.

After all, the Shen family is barely considered the only family member of the Xiao family.

As for those royal family members, the interests are more than family affection.

Moreover, the Shen family was implicated by the Eastern Palace and almost destroyed the clan.

When Xiao thought of this, he felt deeply guilty.

No matter what, she always has to repay the Shen family.

Thousands of lives of the Shen family cannot be sacrificed in vain.

...

Yan Yunge privately stopped Yan Yunquan.

"Thank you, brother, for coming forward to greet your cousin of the Shen family. If you take him out, if someone doesn't talk nonsense, you dare to talk nonsense and tell me what happened back then, just report my name. Tell those who are not open-minded that Chen Shuwen is my cousin of Yan Yunge. If you have the courage, don't bully outsiders. This girl will meet him in person."

Yan Yunquan's eyebrows and eyes twitched when he heard this.

He whispered, "It turns out that the fourth sister also knows that she is famous."

Yan Yunge glared at him, "Why don't I know what a bad reputation is?"

Yan Yunquan was stunned, "You don't know? You made such a big reputation in the capital, but you don't know that you are a bad name? Then you still let me threaten others?"

Yan Yunge didn't care about his complaints, "Tell me, why is my reputation in me? I didn't hit anyone?"

Yan Yunge thought about it carefully and seemed that she hadn't really hit someone in the capital.

She was wronged.

Yan Yunquan lowered his voice and said, "When you smashed the princess's mansion, others might think that you were ignorant and reckless and impulsive in doing things. However, that year, when the capital was in turmoil, the Northern Army killed the princes and kings, you shot Ling Changfeng and forced Ling Changzhi to retreat. This matter had been spread privately.

Just because you shoot the arrows without any slightest, you almost killed Ling Changfeng. The famous men in the capital have to be afraid of you. After all, even me, in terms of archery skills, is not your hand, and others are even more unbearable."

oh!

I see!

She just said that in the past two years, she has cultivated her character and has not hit others, so how could she be famous?

It turned out that the pot was still on Ling Changfeng.

She said to Yan Yunquan: "Since I am a bad name, what should you do if you take your cousin from the Shen family out? Do you understand?"

Yan Yunquan nodded with a smile, "I understand, of course I understand. Fourth sister, what did you tell me, when did I not do it? Last time, you asked me to give Yun Fei a gift, was it beautiful? And last time, you asked me to persuade Yan Yunpei to pay for a house, did it work properly?"

"Thank you, brother, for your hard work! When you become an official, I will give you a big gift."

"Thank you, sister four. I can remember this in my heart and wait for your gift."

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a big gift."

She is a person who believes in words.

...

Yan Yunge came to the study, and his mother, Xiao, was sitting in front of the window and tranced.

Hearing the movement, Xiao came to his senses and asked, "Are everyone gone?"

Yan Yunge nodded, "Brother takes the Shen cousin out, I'll let the manager follow you."

“So great!”

Yan Yunge leaned up and sat down next to his mother Xiao.

She asked curiously: "Why did my mother suddenly decide to ask for an errand for her elder brother?"

Xiao thought about it, "Yan Yunquan, who has been careful to observe for so long, has been smooth and thoughtful in his work, and is like a spring breeze. Except for focusing on your father and not forgetting to report to your father, he is very good at other aspects. His personality is very suitable for entering the officialdom. He is versatile and good at dancing. It is a pity not to be an official.

Moreover, in recent years, he has been working diligently in the capital. He never refuses whether it is me or what you have told me, and he does it properly. In terms of emotion and reason, this palace should give you one or two rewards.

Another thing is that if you make a plan to keep your second brother in the army to fight for military power, then Yan Yunquan will not be able to go back. It is the most beneficial for your second brother to stay in the capital. If I don’t help him seek an official position within this year, he will have almost no chance to become an official.

By the end of the year, he must return to Shanggu County and join the army to lead the troops again. He doesn't want to, and you definitely don't want to see him compete with your second brother for military power. It's better to fulfill him and let him stay in the capital and become an official."

I see!

Yan Yunge thought, "My daughter is a little confused. Yan Yunquan doesn't like leading troops, but instead likes to go on the civil service career."

If it weren't for his liking, Yan Yunquan wouldn't have accomplished nothing in the capital, but he persisted for several years.

It is precisely because of my liking that I try every means to stay and become an official.

Xiao said, "Everyone has their own ambitions! He likes literature but not martial arts. If your father did not let him come to the capital, then that would be fine. He would naturally be a military officer. But when he came to the capital, his desire for civil servants' career instantly suppressed the prestige of leading troops to fight. He had a strong desire for power in his heart. This desire for power comes from the court, not military martial arts. In his eyes, military martial arts are always inferior."

Yan Yunge smiled, "Is he studying and studying? In this world, it is obvious that military power is the best. If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, he has the idea that martial arts are inferior to literature, which is understandable. But in this world, how can he still have the idea that martial arts are inferior to literature?"

Xiao smiled, "Genyou is naturally in his uncle Chen Moran. You also know that Chen Moran is a scholar. Because of his poor family, he has to abandon his literature and martial arts and follow your father to fight on the battlefield. But he always has a dream of a scholar in his heart. He can't realize it, so he naturally instilled in Yan Yunquan. But he didn't expect that Yan Yunquan was influenced by him and was so deeply, I'm afraid your father didn't expect it."

"But my father also hopes that his elder brother Yan Yunquan will stay in the capital to be an official."

"Because your father needs to be involved in the capital and someone needs to develop his connections, your elder brother is obviously the most suitable candidate."

Is this a hit and awkward match?

Yan Yuntong needed to compete for military power, so he stayed in the army.

Yan Yunquan wanted to become an official, so he stayed in the capital.

It's perfect!

...

When Yan Yunqi learned that the Shen family's cousin came to the capital, she specially sent someone to ask.

He ordered someone to give Chen Shuwen a gift.

Only then did Chen Shuwen realize that he had a cousin who was the prince's concubine.

In an instant, there was a feeling of unreality.

How can all of your own relatives be either rich or noble?

He was not born yet when the Shen family was at its most glorious.

He was born and raised in his hometown and never saw the glory of the Shen family.

Back then, the Shen family was the world's top aristocratic family, with relatives and friends coming and going, either rich or noble.

When his fathers talked to him about how the Shen family was back then, he felt that it was not real at all and was very far away.

I once thought that it was the imagination of my fathers, and the Shen family was not what my fathers said at all.

Until he came to the capital, he had a vague judgment on his feelings for several days.

The parents did not exaggerate the words. The Shen family back then was indeed a top family.

Although he has no power to the court, he is also a bell ringing and a tripod, and he is unparalleled in wealth.

He begged the old servant to take him to the former residence of the Shen family in the capital.

White walls and black tiles, deep mansions, how grand they are.

He stood on the road and looked at the two stone lions in front of the gate.

The old servant told him that the stone lion had never been changed, but the gate had been changed.

Perhaps the only trace of the Shen family's stay in the capital was the two stone lions in front of the door.

He clenched his fists and said to the old servant: "One day, I will take everything that belongs to the Shen family."

When the old servant heard this, he burst into tears.

He thanked the gods and Buddhas in the sky, "God has eyes, but he didn't tell the Shen family to become exterminated. The Shen family is expected to succeed!"
