"I know, Six Doors, this is a lucrative position. Once you gain the trust of the emperor, it will be a very promising place. Many of the emperor's private affairs, as well as house raids, are dispatched by this department. Hehe , it seems that the Shen family has really recovered."
"That's right, so it's really hard to talk about these things. Back then, the Shen family gave up Master Shen. It's doing well now, but after ten years, Master Shen has recovered again. Hehe, I'm afraid , members of the Shen family's clan are regretting it now."
"It's not just the people of the Shen family who will regret it. I think the girls of the Shen family will also regret it."
"Miss from the Shen family, she and the Shen family are one family after all, no matter what happens, they can be forgiven. Hehe, people of the clan, but not necessarily."
"That's not necessarily the case. I think people of the clan can be forgiven. After all, the clan is the most important existence in our country. Even though he, Shen Xuanzhi, has various abilities outside, but you don't have the care of the Shen family clan, it's just A simple network. Anyone who wants to make the family bigger and not be bullied in the end, which one is not a clan united and upward... "
"It's hard to say. I don't think people would think that way. After all, when you were in trouble, your Shen family didn't care about themselves in order to protect themselves. It's a person who is angry."
…
When the two parties had this dispute because of the Shen family's rebellion, Shen Xiushui withdrew from the crowd in silence.
After walking out, she looked up at the sky.
"The members of my Shen family have woken up again, but can I still go see my parents?"
That's what she thought back then. However, for so many years, they didn't care what happened to the members of the Shen family. At this time, can they still go to the door to find elder brother, father and the others.
At this moment, Shen Xiushui was both happy and heavy-hearted.
Back home, seeing her man's expectant face, she shook her head sadly.
The latter sat there disappointed, "Forget it, I can only point out that Feng'er and the others will be promising in the future. As a father, I'm afraid I can only stop at the level of a scholar."
"Not always."
Shen Xiushui seemed to have made some decision.
"Xiu Shui, I've suffered for you all these years. I'm not up to it. After studying hard for so long, I still haven't been able to get a good name in the exam."
Gu Wufeng sighed, as if he was underappreciated for his talent.
Shen Xiushui raised her head, "Husband, I heard that the Shen family has recovered."
"What? Say it again?"
Gu Wufeng stood up abruptly.
"I said, the Shen family has recovered. If you don't believe me, you can inquire about it."
This time, Gu Wufeng couldn't sit still.
He is the son-in-law of the Shen family.
If the Shen family is rehabilitated, it means that he is someone in the officialdom. At that time, I can find a job to be an official.
It should be noted that there are actually two kinds of officials in the officialdom.
One is to rely on oneself to study hard to obtain fame.
The other is to look at the family background, look at the power behind the scenes and other donated officials.
As long as you have a little talent and power, it is not easy to donate an official. Now that his family business is exhausted and he wants to donate to an official, he doesn't have that money at all. Moreover, there is no such door. How could he and his wife dare to think about this matter before? Now it is different. If the Shen family recovers, it means that they also have a chance to turn around.
"Miss, you wait for me and go to my brother-in-law's house to inquire."
"Well, go early and come back early."
Similarly, at Shen Xiuli's house, Mrs. Shen was still holding fish food and feeding the fish there.
In the early years, the Shen family was still a big family, especially Shen Xuanzhi was still a big official in this area at that time. So Shen Xiuli married very well back then.
In order to protect herself, after the collapse of the Shen family, Shen Xiuli also immediately severed ties with the Shen family, and after suffering in the Zhou family for a period of time, she managed to secure her wife's seat. However, flat wives, as well as concubines below, also have everything that one expects to find.
Thinking of her current decline, she felt sad many times.
If the family background is still intact, how could those little whores be allowed to bully her. Thinking of this, Shen Xiuli sighed again.
"Ma'am, Ma'am, the master actually invited you out for dinner. It's outside, in your favorite Huanxi Building."
Just at this moment, Du Juan ran in to report the joy to her.
"Really?"
Shen Xiuli was also very surprised.
You know, ever since he got rid of Zhou Changming's concubine's child, this man has been ignoring her. The sun came out from the sky today, and I want to invite her to my favorite restaurant for dinner. For a moment, she was both happy and a little scared.
"Du Juan, but what has the master decided recently? If not, why would you want to treat me well? Will something happen here?"
Du Juan is still a clever girl, and she can get a lot of news from this little girl.
Now hearing Shen Xiuli's question, Du Juan quickly shook his head.
"Ma'am, you made a mistake. It's not that the master has changed his sex, but that the master wanted to treat you well after he heard that the Shen family had recovered."
"What did you say?"
Shen Xiuli stood up all of a sudden, and the fish material in her hand fell down.
"Ma'am, I mean, the Shen family has recovered. Although the slaves and servants have only heard a few ears, they can hear them roughly. It means that the masters of your natal family are all officials now."
Shen Xiuli's hands trembled violently, and her eyes shone brightly with excitement.
"My Shen family has risen again."
But immediately, just like Shen Xiushui, she immediately became panicked.
"However, these years, I have been indifferent to the affairs of the Shen family. Now that the Shen family has recovered, how do I face them?"
Back then, in order to protect their married daughters, the parents had said not to visit them.
And they, for so many years, did not visit them together according to what their mother said.
Thinking about it now, there are actually many inappropriate things.
"Du Juan, tell me, will my parents forgive me? I haven't asked them a word for so many years."
"Ma'am, you think too much. Didn't Madam tell you to live a good life after we separated back then. Come to think of it, Master and Madam will definitely not blame you. After all, we are a family. You and Master and Madam are also connected by flesh and blood. When the time comes to visit them, I'm afraid it's too late to be happy. There will be no other thoughts."
Du Juan's mouth is very flattering. However, these words could not completely appease Xiushui's heart. Because she deeply remembered one thing, what was her attitude when Xiaoqi sent people to come.
…
"At the beginning, Xiaoqi sent someone to visit me. I saw that person was dressed in shabby clothes, so I didn't see him. He just let him out after sending a bun. I, I shouldn't have."
Unfeeling and unjust, nothing more than that.
Shen Xiuli knows this better than anyone else. I still did things too much at the beginning. Because she was afraid that those concubines would step on her, when she heard that people from the Shen family had come to her door, she just sent them away forcefully. rather than meeting in person. It stands to reason, brother, shouldn't you greet me.
Now that she thinks about it carefully, Shen Xiuli realizes that she is still too bad at doing things by herself.
Just at this time, Gu Wufeng from outside also came to the door.
When the two of them talked about the rebellion of the Shen family, they were both happy and sad.
Three days later, the two families still decided to go to the capital to meet Shen Xuanzhi and Yixuan.
Accompanying him were members of the Shen family's clan.
The difference this time is that the members of the Shen family have found out some of the family's valuables this time. And among them are some treasures contributed by Shen Xuanzhi back then.
In order to obtain Shen Xuanzhi's forgiveness, the Shen clan also spared no effort this time.
The group of people meandered, and finally arrived in the capital at the beginning of March.
The two sisters of the Shen family lifted the curtain to look at the prosperity of the capital city, their eyes were full of envy.
Earlier, I felt that the city I was in was a prosperous place. But when I got to the capital, I realized that this was the most prosperous place.
"The glory of the capital city is indeed unmatched by ordinary places. In this place, people who can become a big family are considered real masters. And in our place, it's no wonder that even a Zhuangzi is not easy in this capital city. have."
The Zhou family can be regarded as a big family, but now when compared with those in the capital, I realized that it is really difficult for me to gain a foothold in the capital.
"My lord, let me tell you, this place in the capital city is really a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. You go and eat some pasta. Seeing that the couple are inconspicuous, maybe it's the emperor's relatives who are doing it."
"There are such things?" The two families didn't believe it.
"Hehe, of course there is. Sometimes you walk in front of an inconspicuous shop, thinking that the people in this shop are easy to provoke, but the truth is that they have a strong background. You accidentally acted arrogantly, and finally gave The tricks are gone. We have seen a lot of men from other places come to this capital, and they can’t stop being domineering in a small place for a while. I thought I could walk straight and sideways, but in the end I offended people for no reason. Just lost his head."
Hearing these words, the two families were secretly awe-inspiring. Sure enough, the water in this capital is deep. It seems that the Shen family has to be hugged tighter in the future. If not, I'm afraid they won't be able to gain a foothold in this capital.
