Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

It took Shen Huaixu ten days to receive a letter from Beichuan County, and her second letter was also on its way to Beichuan County.

After reading the letter, she came to her father's yard happily, but found no one.

After struggling for many days, Shen Su decided to take up the post of Jing Zhaoyin. Although Shen Huaixu was a little surprised, he still supported it.

It's just that the imperial edict of appointment has not yet been issued, so Shen Su is still an unemployed vagrant.

"Uncle Dahan, where is my father?"

"The Marquis was invited to the Yi family and has not returned yet."

"Yi family?"

Shen Huaixu thought for a moment, and it seemed that the Dali Temple minister at that time was named Yi, but didn't his father always reject it when such things happened? Or does it mean that after becoming Jing Zhaoyin, you realized the importance of interpersonal relationships?

As if he understood the young lady's doubts, Dahan answered aloud: "The Marquis didn't pay attention at first, but later he changed his mind and took Lidong with him to bring a calligraphy and painting, and asked his subordinates to inform the young lady."

Shen Huaixu looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon. She thought that she would have to eat alone at noon today.

She picked up the Fu Tuan and returned to her yard, letting Xiao Man prepare the meal.

The food was served quickly.

"Miss, you have been busy with disaster relief these days, have you ever paid attention to the rumors in Beijing?" Nanny Ji asked cautiously.

"What rumors?"

Shen Huaixu ate very attentively and asked questions casually.

"There are rumors about you."

Shen Huaixu paused in the act of picking up food for Fu Tuan and then looked at Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji no longer tried to be pretentious and said quickly: "I said you love to disembowel people, are domineering and cruel, and have evil aura about you."

A suffocating silence spread across the room.

Mother Ji consciously made a mistake and bent her knees to kneel on the ground.

Shen Huaixu stretched out his hand to stop her, "I asked you to say, why are you kneeling?"

She smiled and said, "There is nothing in this world, no matter how troublesome it is. It's just rumors, don't pay attention to them."

I don't know which bastard is the one who spread such inexplicable rumors. Shen Huaixu is naturally "broad-minded". After all, the law does not blame the public, and heaven and earth cannot control the mouths of so many people.

She was 'broad-minded', but Shen Su was so angry that he almost overturned the Dali Temple Minister's dining table.

The Yi family is a well-known Qingliu family among the aristocratic families in the capital. The head of the Yi family, Yi Zishu, loves calligraphy and painting the most, and the most fond of the pen and ink of the previous dynasty.

Coincidentally, Shen Su had Ji Yuan's calligraphy in his hand. He took Ji Yuan's writing and ink with him not as a gift to his colleagues, but for other purposes.

Various jade rings around his waist jingled as Shen Su strolled and admired the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the study room.

After admiring it, he asked: "I heard that Mr. Yi loved Ji everyone's cursive calligraphy the most in his life, and now it turns out that the reputation is well-deserved. I guess Mr. Yi has a deep knowledge of Ji everyone's calligraphy?"

Yi Zishu didn't know why Shen Su suddenly came to his house, but he had never walked around with anyone before, so suddenly he came to his house, and he subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing.

Today is his father's 70th birthday, so it is inevitable to have a big event. Shen Su is currently in the limelight, and is about to take office as Jing Zhaoyin. He is considered a close minister of the emperor, so he must show off.

It's just that he really doesn't like the way Shen Su wears seven or eight rings around his waist. He looks like someone setting up a stall on the roadside, neither fish nor fowl.

"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, I know a little bit."

"In that case, Lord Yi, why don't you check whether the calligraphy on the next page is true or false?"

Shen Sui waved to Lidong, who immediately presented the scroll in his hand.

At this time, the minister next to the study also came over. As the scroll was opened little by little, Yi Zishu's eyes were indifferent at first, and finally seemed to have been sucked away without blinking.

"Is this... the most famous 'Lovesickness Preface' written by everyone?" someone asked in silence.

Shen Su smiled casually and said: "Master Qiao has a good eye, it is indeed a 'lovesickness sequence'."

He looked at Yi Zishu again, "I wonder what Master Yi has to say?"

Yi Zishu held the scroll in his hand and looked at it carefully, forgetting his words for a moment.

"I wonder where Lord Shen got this cursive script?"

“Things passed down from outside the family are not obtained from outside.”

Remembering who Shen Su's mother-in-law was, everyone stopped talking.

After reading it carefully from top to bottom, Yi Zishu said: "Ji's family is originally from the previous dynasty, and Shen Houye's maternal family is the royal family of the previous dynasty. It is not surprising to find this object. It is indeed authentic."

He opened his mouth, with hesitation on his face, and finally said: "Does Mr. Shen intend to give up this thing? Yi Mou intends to buy it..."

Shen Su glanced at him, "How can we give up something inherited from our family?"

He took back the scroll and rolled it up little by little.

"Eh-" Yi Zishu's heart was bleeding, and he just looked at it once.

"Borrow, is it possible to borrow?" Yi Zishu said quickly, "At least let me observe for a few days..."

Shen Su shook his head slowly and said, "Your Majesty also loves calligraphy and painting. Tomorrow I would like to give it to Your Majesty for viewing. It is a token of my courtesy as a minister."

As soon as these words came out, Yi Zishu had no reason to speak anymore. He also realized it at this time. He was angry for a moment. This Shen Huizhi didn't come to wish his father a birthday. He was clearly here to piss him off!

After showing off, the banquet began.

Shen Su came to the main hall, found his seat, sat down, and drank slowly.

That Yan Guan named Yang Sen has been biting him these days, relying only on speculation without real evidence. This Yan Guan is really comfortable.

Just the day before yesterday, Yang Sen fell from a horse and broke his leg. He will have to rest at home for the next month.

He knew that it was Yang Sen who was protected by Yi Zishu. Yang Sen and Yi Zishu were candidates in the same class. If he and Yi Zishu had not had any bad relations, he would have thought that Yi Zishu was targeting him.

He was fine even though he couldn't move his hands and felt nauseous, so he couldn't bear the consequences.

The moment he raised his head to drink, a sharp edge flashed across his lowered eyes.

Attending this kind of banquet was very boring for Shen Su. For some reason, he always felt like there was a gaze following him vaguely.

Just when he was vaguely drunk, a harsh voice reached his ears, and he sensitively caught one word - Shen Huaixu.

"Sisters, do you know that the daughter Xuanping Hou just found is called Shen Huaixu, right? Not only is she described as ugly and afraid to see people, but she also likes to disembowel people and is full of evil spirits? She was only three months old when her mother and grandmother both She died in a fire and she was the only one who survived. Could it be that she killed two of them?"

"Miss Li Er, don't make any groundless rumors..."

Another voice sounded, but Shen Su couldn't listen anymore. He stood up suddenly and walked in the direction of the voice. No matter who calls behind him, he ignores it.

He stared coldly at the group of screaming young ladies, twitching the corners of his mouth, "Ugly, disembowelled, and full of evil spirits... Who said that?"

Yi Qian looked at the person she had never forgotten, her expression extremely ugly. She glared at Miss Li Er fiercely, stepped forward and said, "Master Hou..."

"If it didn't come from you, then shut up." Shen Su frowned fiercely, and the sinister look in his eyes was clearly audible. He glanced at the group of delicate little ladies, "How can a lady from a famous family imitate the talkative woman on the street and chew her behind the back?" The root of a human tongue? My Miao Miao saved two lives by caesarean section, which one of you can do that? If he dares to say anything about my daughter, I will pull out his tongue!"

Yi Zishu, who followed, almost fainted from anger. What kind of nonsense are you talking about! Your Majesty—he wants to read a copy of Xuan Ping Hou!
