The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

After entering the table, Shen Jia looked around. On the left was Cui Xiuzhu, a Jinshi of the same period. It is said that he was still Cao Ruiwen's classmate and had always been his follower. He is currently only a low-ranking doctor in the Imperial Academy. He didn't make it in the first round of selection When he got a good position, he always looked down on Shen Jia.

On the right is Mr. Zhou Min, who is also a writer, and he is in the same group as him. This Mr. Zhou doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he and Shen Jia are just nodding acquaintances.

"Master Shen looks really good today, looks like the clothes of Liuying Pavilion, isn't it cheap?" Cui Xiuzhu asked mockingly.

Shen Jia really didn't know what he was mocking, what happened to her wearing Liuyingge's clothes?It wasn't cheap and didn't cost him a penny, so he replied lightly: "I don't know which family's clothes it is. There are only a few servants in my family, and no one is good at sewing, so I have to buy clothes outside. Unlike Mrs. Cui, my lovely wife." With a beautiful concubine by my side, there are people taking care of her inside and out, so it is naturally incomparable."

Someone laughed in a low voice. Cui Xiuzhu is also quite famous in the Hanlin Academy. It's not that he is too good at being a man or is too talented, but because of his flair. A well-known shrew, she took concubines for him, but they were all crooked, and Cui Xiuzhu was so angry that he always lingered in brothels and never went home.

This gossip was still told by He Yan, who said that one day, Master Cui was taken out of the brothel oiran's bed by his wife, and served with sticks directly.

After thinking about it, it is impossible for such a wife to make clothes for him. After Shen Jia finished speaking, Cui Xiuzhu's face immediately turned dark.

"That's better than Mr. Shen. At this age, he is still a widow. I'm afraid there is some hidden disease?"

Shen Jia sighed, with a helpless expression on her face, "I used to be too busy studying to delay my marriage, and I have reached this age after procrastination. If only I could go to high school three years earlier."

Everyone present rolled their eyes in unison, Shen Jia was 20 years old, and he was already the youngest champion in this dynasty, and if he was three years younger, he might be included in the history books.

If they have lived in modern times, they would know that there is a kind of literature called Versailles literature, which is about people like Shen Jia, who pretend to be so fresh and refined.

Cui Xiuzhu was afraid that Shen Jia would be pissed off if he spoke again, so he simply started toasting everyone, and even gave a wink to a few people with whom he was close, intending to get Shen Jia drunk.

Shen Jia was able to compete with military generals when he was drunk at the Qionglin Banquet. Although the draw in the end made him famous, it also showed that he was prone to impulsiveness and gaffes when he was drunk. Let's see what he will do out of the ordinary.

"Come on, come on, Manshang, it's rare for everyone to get together today, and it's Xiumu again, we won't go home until we're drunk."

Shen Jia picked up the wine glass and sniffed it. The wine was good wine, but he didn't want to get drunk at Cao's house at all, he planned to drink a few glasses and pretend to be drunk.

A table of people drank for a round, and the banquet officially began. During the period, Cao Ruiwen came out with a baby in his arms and showed his face, but he only showed his relatives and friends at the main table and took it in. No one else was interested in what his baby looked like. .

Immediately afterwards, a representative from the master's family came to toast, Zhenyuan Hou was away all year round, and the family was headed by the eldest son, so he led Cao Ruiwen to toast.

This eldest son, Shen Jia, was not familiar with him, so he could only hear someone whispering at the next table, "Your eldest son will be 27 or [-] this year, I heard there has been no sequel."

"The son never forgets his first wife, saying that he will never marry again. The angry old Hou Ye and the old lady want to abolish his position as the son."

Shen Jia took a look at Zhenyuan Hou Shizi, he was very handsome and handsome, without a smile on his face, he looked like a calm and cold person, no wonder he was able to stick to his decision regardless of family resistance.

They are also talking about this son at this table, "The son and his ex-wife have only been married for two years, and they haven't even left a child, which is pitiful."

"But there must be someone to inherit the title, right? Maybe the son is just sad for a while and can't get out. He is still young, and it is not easy to have a son?"

"Why can't you get out after ten years of injury? I think there must be other reasons." Several old men smiled tacitly at the same time, and Shen Jia glanced at Cao Shizi again, thinking that these people must be envious of Cao Shizi. defame him.

Soon, they arrived at their table, all of them were Hanlin scholars, noble but without real power, they all stood up respectfully to the people in Zhenyuanhou's mansion.

"Brother, Master Shen and Master Cui are in the same discipline as me, and the rest are adults from the Imperial Academy." Cao Ruiwen introduced the guests at this table to his elder brother.

Cao Shizi first raised his glass to Shen Jia, and said with a light smile: "It turns out that this is Shen Zhuangyuan who wrote about horseshoe disease and saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. He is really young."

Shen Jia said modestly: "I dare not be praised by your son."

Cao Ruiwen saw that his elder brother seemed to have a crush on Shen Jia, so he quickly interrupted and said: "Thank you for coming to Cao's mansion to participate in the children's full moon wine today. I have no free time today. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Everyone replied: "You are welcome, thank you for your hospitality." Then they raised their glasses and drank them all.

After the toast left, everyone talked more casually. It was impossible to continue the previous topic, so they talked about the recent interesting events of the Imperial Academy.

The Imperial Academy is a Qingshui yamen, there is nothing to fish for, and the interesting things are nothing more than who and who have conflicts, and who and who is reprimanded by the head of the academy. Later, I somehow mentioned that Shen Jia was sent to the palace to repair ancient books.

"Shen Jia is indeed the emperor's favorite person. Not only did he make an exception for you and was exempted from the duty of serving as a lecturer, but he even thought of you when he was editing ancient books. He is really the lucky one of our Imperial Academy."

This sounded a bit sour, but Shen Jia didn't care, and said with a smile: "The emperor is wise and powerful, so he naturally called me into the palace because he knew that I had special skills in this area. Self-recommendation."

Mr. Xu said with a half-smile: "That's not necessary, repairing books is not a good job, I'm tired of reading books every day in the yamen."

Seeing that what he said was really outrageous, Zhou Min frowned and said, "It's fine to talk about it outside, but you must never say it in the yamen. It's not good to be heard." Like reading books, isn't that the same as the general saying he doesn't want to fight?

"Let's not talk about this, come and drink." Cui Xiuzhu's goal was not achieved, and he simply re-energized the atmosphere. Everyone was bored in their hearts, so they just used wine to relieve their worries.

Shen Jia had nothing to worry about, but these people had to drink with someone, so he also had to drink with him, only Mr. Zhou said that sentence from beginning to end, and the wine didn't touch a drop.

After the banquet was over, Shen Jia took her leave and left. He Yan was waiting for him at the door. As soon as the two of them got into the car, Shen Jia leaned on He Yan: "Let's avoid socializing in the future, it's tiring."

He Yan took out a kettle from the side and poured a cup of strong tea for Shen Jia, "Young Master, drink some tea to sober up, this is the way of entertainment, many high-ranking officials still enjoy drinking, but drinking too much will hurt your health, please drink less That's it."

Shen Jia took a sip of tea, then watched He Yan fall asleep.
