The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

After talking with his family, as soon as Shen Jia returned to the study, his servants ran up and said, "Master, there are some adults outside the door asking to see you."

"Who is it?"

"There is Mr. Wu, and there is one who claims to be the head of the Ministry of Industry, surnamed Xu. The other villains didn't ask carefully."

Xu Ran is the only person Shen Jia is most familiar with with the head of the Ministry of Industry surnamed Xu. The two have been in contact since the last time they met at the hunting ground, and they happened to be in the Ministry of Industry, so they naturally got closer.

"How many people came? Did they come together?"

"There are six people in total. It looks like it, but... the atmosphere is not very good."

Shen Jia couldn't guess what was going on, but Wu Jing and Xu Ran should have come because they were worried about him, "Please come in, and then call Manager He, I have something to order."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after Shen Jia sat down, footsteps came from outside the door. Wu Jing was the first to come in. Seeing Shen Jia sitting safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to him, "Master Shen."

Shen Jia got up and walked over, nodded towards Wu Jing, her eyes fell on the people behind him, and found that they were all teammates who fought together in the hunting ground, even Cui Xiuzhu was there, so she was a little curious, "Why are you here together? Hurry up Please sit down."

Wu Jing rolled his eyes at the people behind him, and said unhappily, "Who knows why they came to join in the fun, and met at the door."

Xu Ran yelled at him unceremoniously: "Could it be that you, Wu Jing, and Wu Jing came to this Shen's house, and we couldn't come? And I didn't come with them, it was just a coincidence." Those who were close to him naturally knew the news of Shen Jia's release from Dali Temple at the first time, and came to visit him as soon as they knew he had come out of the palace.

Shen Jia returned a salute to them and said with a smile, "Thank you for worrying about Shen. Please sit down quickly. It's a good thing to meet you. Let's have a few drinks together tonight, let's celebrate Shen."

Cui Xiuzhu sternly retorted with an unhappy expression: "There's nothing to celebrate about this kind of thing. Mr. Shen almost fell into prison, why don't we go out and have some fun, and let Mr. Shen go to the bad luck!"

Wu Jing didn't like this guy surnamed Cui early in the morning. When they formed a team to compete, this guy said a lot of nasty things. I really don't understand why he came to join in the fun today?

"Master Cui, if you are busy with business, please go back and do your work. I just want to eat and drink in the Shen Mansion." Wu Jing lived in the Shen Mansion before, so he knows better than others how good the food and drinks are in the Shen Mansion. He said that even the imperial chef couldn't compare to it. The good wine his father wanted to treasure could be drunk in Shen's house, so he didn't want to go out to eat.

Cui Xiuzhu glared at him, his butt stuck to the chair and did not move. Since he stepped into the gate of Shen's residence today, he would definitely not leave easily.

He Yan trotted in and asked Shen Jia after meeting everyone, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Let the kitchen prepare a table of good wine and good food. I want to have a few drinks with some friends."

He Yan smiled and rolled his eyes, "You don't need to order this matter, the kitchen has already prepared the food, but just now the old lady asked me to ask you, what wine do you want to drink tonight? She asked someone to go to the cellar Pick."

Shen Jia thought for a while, "Take a few altars from the monkey bar that was rewarded by the emperor, that's a good entrance." He also considered that all the people present here are civil servants, so they don't have a good capacity for alcohol, so there is no need for too strong alcohol.

Xu Ran swallowed, moved his butt, and asked, "Monkey wine? How many jars are there? Can I help move it?"

Shen Jia looked at him in surprise: "Do you like to drink this?"

Xu Ran nodded fiercely, "I like it. I have never forgotten it since I drank it once. Unfortunately, the old man refused to give me the little stock at home."

"Haha, you open your belly to drink at that moment, and bring two jars back when you go back."

Everyone was very moved when they heard this, but unfortunately they were too embarrassed to ask for such a good thing, but they all believed in their hearts that Shen Jia was really favored, and even tribute wine could be given as a gift.

After He Yan ran out, Shen Jia also stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to the restaurant."

Walking halfway, the servants brought Zuo Jiangyi and three other officials from the household department in. It seemed that everyone's concern was timely, and at the same time, it could be seen who had the closest relationship with Shen Jia.

When the table was served, the servants came to report again, saying that Langzhong Feng from the household department had come, and he brought Langzhong Wang with him.

Shen Jia raised her eyebrows, sat on the chair without moving, and said: "Tell the two adults that I am tired today and it is not convenient to see guests. I will invite the two adults to drink tomorrow."

The servant was used to saying no, so he bowed his head and retreated, knowing that the next time these two adults came to the door again, they might not even be able to accept the reward.

Everyone is well aware of this, Shen Jia's current status does not require anyone to come to see them, being able to meet them, lowly officials, shows that they are sincerely good to them, and even Cui Xiuzhu is a little moved, feeling that he used to treat them well. Shen Jia's attitude was too much.

He will come today. Firstly, Cao Ruiwen mentioned Shen Jia and asked him to visit him on his behalf when he just came out of Shuntian Mansion. Secondly, he also wanted to ease the relationship with Shen Jia. The small conflicts at the beginning were all caused by his own narrow-mindedness. Shen Jia He will definitely not be taken seriously. If the conflict can be resolved, it will be beneficial and not harmful to him.

"Come on, come on...Ms. Shen will toast everyone first, thank you for your concern."

Everyone hurriedly picked up their wine glasses, "Don't dare, it's because we are bothering you."

Xu Ran couldn't wait to drink a glass of wine. The monkey wine is delicious, mellow and sweet, and has an endless aftertaste. "Good wine! Good wine! Just for this glass of wine, Lord Shen, please tell me if you have anything to do in the future!"

Xu Ran is not just a director of the Ministry of Industry, the status of the Xu family in Chang'an City is not much weaker than that of the Song family. Xu Ran's promise is worth a thousand dollars.

"You're drunk just after drinking this wine?" Shen Jia doesn't want such a promise, but Xu Ran is a person he is willing to make friends with. This kid is sincere, smart, and courageous. If you train him, he will definitely be a good boy in the future. Good officer.

Cui Xiuzhu filled the wine for Shen Jia, picked up the wine glass and stood up, blushing, hesitatingly said: "This glass, I... I respect Mr. Shen, and I hope Mr. Shen... Regardless of the previous suspicions, forgive me for the past. Your disrespect."

Wu Jing snorted coldly, "Hasn't Master Cui always been Cao Fu Yin's follower? Why did you suddenly show kindness to Master Shen? Don't you have any bad intentions?"

Xu Ran also looked at him warily, "Although the Cui family is considered noble, if you want to harm Master Shen, I will be the first to say no!"

Shen Jia hurriedly stopped the two young and energetic young masters, "Hey, don't be like this, Mr. Cui just apologized to me, I don't blame him at all, how could he not be guilty? I drank this glass of wine, Master Cui, don't worry about such a small matter."

Cui Xiuzhu's face turned even redder when he said this, and he wished he could turn around and leave immediately, but he had already started, and he couldn't give up halfway. He understood that Shen Jia didn't take him seriously at all, so he continued dryly: " Thank you for your generosity!"

Apart from this, the host and guest had a good time, the wine was good, the food was good, and everyone had a great time eating.

Hou'er is very strong after drinking. He thought Xu Ran would be drunk soon after drinking, but everyone else at the table collapsed. He was still happy to drink with Shen Jia, and the two even had a game Drinking order.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Xu Ran drank the last drop of wine in the jar, and he was embarrassed to open another jar. When he got up, he shook a bit, and with a bright smile on his face, he said: "Today, I really want to be able to drink so freely. Thank you Master Shen for your hospitality."

"There is no need to be so polite, we are all friends, you don't have to be polite, just come if you want to drink in the future."

Xu Ran made a bow to him, "Then I'll take it seriously, there is one more thing... I want to apply to be transferred to Mr. Shen's work, I wonder if Mr. Shen is willing to accept the official?"

"Huh? Why do you want to come to me?"

Xu Ran said with a look of admiration: "Of course it is because I admire your talents and character! I didn't want to be an official at first, but my father wanted me to join the army, but I really don't like wielding knives and guns, but my talents are limited. , I also failed in the imperial examination, but thanks to you, I was lucky enough to join the Ministry of Industry to give full play to my strengths. You are my benefactor, noble man! So, if my lord does not despise the stupidity of the lower officials, whoever the lower officials are willing to chase after you, saddle up and serve tea Pour water, do anything!"

Shen Jia saw the frenzied light in his eyes, and felt a little embarrassed. Chen Zian also looked at him like this before, "If you want anything, I can ask for it."

Xu Ran let out a cry of joy, and rushed towards Shen Jia through the drunkenness, quickly hugged her and then let go, eyes full of little stars.

Shen Jia coughed, ordered someone to take them home, and gave each of them two jars of wine in return.

After going back to the house to take a shower, Shen Jia fell asleep and fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, she saw Zhao Zhang lying beside her, and she didn't know when she came.

When it was time to go up, Zhao Zhang woke up by himself, stretched out his arms to hug Shen Jia, rubbed his head against his neck, and smelled a bit of alcohol that hadn't dissipated.

"You are generous. You just give away the tribute wine that I gave you. It is still a few useless things."

Shen Jia reached out and stroked his hair, feeling a little itchy on his neck, and couldn't help laughing, "It's okay if I give you some gifts when people come to see me, I don't usually drink those wines."

"There must have been a lot of people who came to see you yesterday, why did you only see those few?"

Shen Jia didn't have time to ask who was here yesterday, anyway, after the banquet started, he asked people to turn away all other visitors.

"It's all a group of young people. I like to deal with young people. I have a simple mind. It doesn't matter if other people come to the door with different purposes."

"Cui Xiuzhu also counts?"

"Haha, he should have come to ask for peace, but... what can I do with him? I'll be satisfied if I don't show any embarrassment in the future." Shen Jia naturally didn't care about Cui Xiuzhu, even if he wanted to deal with himself Not that capable, but people are willing to seek peace, why doesn't he agree?

"You are generous!" Zhao Zhang bit his lips and got up unwillingly to get dressed. When the servants heard the movement, they came in to serve him. Only then did Shen Jia know from He Yan that there were indeed many people who came yesterday. There are more people who only gave Lilly and didn't come.

Zhao Zhang asked him to make a good note of the list. These people are willing to come to Shen's mansion to seek connections at this time, at least it shows that they are willing to curry favor with Shen Jia, and it's okay to take care of them properly.

Shen Jia ignored him, "Don't worry about these trivial things, I have my own measure."

Zhao Zhang shrugged, turned on the switch of the secret passage, and left a sentence: "Take care of the Ministry of Industry for me, and just ask whoever you want."

Shen Jia lifted the official hat, "Then I will thank the Lord for your kindness!"
