Chapter 261: Does my cousin think I’m not worried?
Drinking is harmful to the body, and Cui Yun really only let Shen Hua taste it.
The girl was holding a half-full glass of wine, with a sad look on her face. Going forward, she would drink as much as she wanted for fun, and no one could stop her.
But it's different now.
Shen Hua cherishes her unpredictable and weird body more than anyone else.
Shen Hua came closer and smelled it, and there was a vague sweetness to it. She was afraid that it would be gone in one sip, so she cherished it and sipped it bit by bit.
So miserable.
It's better than all the wine Shen Hua drank in the past years.
She couldn't help sighing: "If my cousin doesn't become a marquis in the future, he can still support the family with this craft."
"Let's set up a shop, you make the wine, and I'll do the cashiering. It won't be long before I'll be able to compete with the semi-idle house."
Cui Yun didn't yearn for it at all: "Even if I didn't become an official in the court, I wouldn't have fallen like this."
Shenhua thought for a moment, and it was indeed true. Then she thought about the piles of books in Cui Yun's study.
"Then it would be nice to be a teacher."
"Don't talk about being a brat. When you have children in the future, you can teach them yourself. Otherwise, you won't be careless. Seeing that the wife invited by the family is old, they will think about skipping school and slacking off."
When she said this, she was frank and without any guilt.
Cui Yun lowered his eyes: "Teacher?"
It's also thanks to her speaking out.
If Cui Yun wants to teach in the Imperial College, he is qualified. But what about the Imperial College? What if he teaches the princes and grandsons?
It's not like I can't say a word in officialdom.
Only when you have the power in your hands can it be truly useful.
"Which one sounds more impressive, the noble Madam Hou or the mistress of the bookstore?"
Shen Hua did not hesitate: "Mrs. Hou."
Cui Yun chuckled.
Shen Hua changed her tone: "You should continue to be the Marquis."
"If you are not satisfied with your job as an official, you will have to endure it. There are few things in this world that are satisfactory."
Not satisfied?
There was a dark light in Cui Yun's eyes. He raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine.
At first, when I first entered Dali Temple, I was really unhappy.
But over the years, he has been in a high position, making plans and playing tricks on people's hearts, and there are still a few people who can make him unhappy.
The wine glass finally bottomed out, and Shen Hua sullenly said, "Everyone in the officialdom is so smart. Who wants to deal with those people?"
"Cousin, a gentleman like you has suffered a lot of losses over the years."
Shen Hua: "You can't become the second Shu Yushi."
Cui Yun is funny.
"What's wrong with Shu Yushi?"
Shen Hua: "He single-handedly sent his brother to prison."
Cui Yun corrected him: "That man was embezzled and accepted bribes. How could it be wrong to deal with him according to the law?"
Shen Hua: "It's just three hundred taels of greed. It's not a big deal. I can just fill it in later."
"This is an official from Shengjing, the most prosperous city. Apart from other things, the county officials in small counties have been officials for many years, and they can get this amount. Compared to his brother, it is considered to be less, but I don't believe that Shengjing Some of those officials are clean, but if we don't keep them all, they will be dirty and rotten."
"Since we can't all be brought to justice, it can be seen that punishing one person is of no use."
Shen Hua added: "Of course, this does not include you, cousin. I know who you are."
Cui Yun:...You really don’t know.
Shen Hua must be disappointed.
In the past few years, his hands had been stained with an unknown amount of blood.
Seeing that Cui Yun was silent, Shen Hua continued.
"After his brother was imprisoned, everyone said he was upright and upright, but I thought he was stupid."
What are you picturing?
Is the house restless?
Therefore, his mother was so angry that she passed away.
Want to be fair and strict?
But Yushi Shu will join this one today and that one tomorrow. They are all offended. Those people are eager to eat his blood and swallow his flesh.
However, some people's status cannot be shaken because they have done too many evil things, and even officials have to turn a blind eye.
Cui Yun doesn't know that there are a few things in this world that are truly just and strict.
If you make friends openly, you never know if they will stab you in the dark. If you climb up the ladder by stepping on your head, the higher your position, the more important you will be, but if you are not careful, you will lose your head.
Cui Yun said hoarsely: "The Imperial City can indeed eat people."
"Then you should be more careful and don't let others plot against you."
Shen Hua covered her lips and lowered her voice: "Cousin, stay away from the crown prince and the fourth prince in the future. If something happens in the East Palace, I think these two people are not good people."
Cui Yun naturally knew about this matter.
He was also guessing who had done it.
But at this moment, Cui Yun narrowed his eyes: "Who told you?"
"Prince Gong, Crown Prince."
"Did you go out and meet him today?"
Shen Hua had no reservations. She even complained: "He also claimed to be my brother Huo."
Cui Yun's eyes darkened, but he was still calm and calm when he spoke: "He has always been like this. A girl who is six years older than him can open her eyes and call her sister."
"Yanglinghou's Mansion has no personal relationship with Prince Gong's Mansion. This man has a reputation for being a prodigal, so it is not appropriate to have too much involvement."
"The more you know about the affairs in the palace, the worse it will be for you."
Shen Hua felt that what he said was really serious.
"That's right——"
Cui Yun smiled faintly: "This matter has been completely sealed in the East Palace. The officials deliberately kept it quiet, and all the palace slaves who knew about it were sentenced to death. No matter how chaotic the East Palace is now, it will not get out of the palace."
Prince Gong was a sensible man, so when Bao Biqi saw something was wrong, he tied Ji Huo back to the mansion early and warned him repeatedly.
Shen Hua is a smart man, how could he not know what Cui Yun meant.
Her heart tightened.
Cui Yun: "Are you scared?"
Shen Hua: "Next time I see him, I'll try to avoid him."
"What's the use of avoiding it?"
Cui Yun said: "I will go visit Prince Gong later."
The air was filled with the scent of wine. Shen Hua had just touched it, but it was like this, which made her feel more and more itchy. How could she endure it any longer?
The girl licked her lips: "This wine..."
Cui Yun: "It will be cleared immediately and sent to Xuanfu."
Cui Yun rarely drinks, but Xuan Chen is a drinker.
Shen Hua was stunned: "I have been digging for so long!"
Although she wasn't the one to dig it up in the end.
She was a little anxious: "You gave it to someone else in the blink of an eye?"
Cui Yun lost a lot of his drinking power, he said patiently.
“If you open the bottle and don’t drink it in time, the taste will change.”
"If I let you take it away, I might get up at night and drink every drop."
Shen Hua:???
She was a little in disbelief.
"After all this, you still want to reason with me?"
"That'smine."
Hurry up and coax me!
Say the wine is only for me!
Woohoo! Give you another chance!
Cui Yun frowned: "Why are you still like this? You should be more generous."
Shen Hua: If she continues to stay, she will die.
She walked out aggressively, and when she crossed the threshold, she didn't notice the too-long skirt. She tilted her foot and heard a 'click' sound.
Shen Hua:!!!
Cui Yun pursed her lips into a line, stood up suddenly, and walked over quickly, nervousness flashing across her brows.
There was a tension on her shoulders, and Cui Yun supported her.
The girl kept inhaling.
Her face turned pale, and she tightened her grip on Cui Yun's collar. But she felt embarrassed.
The Shen family calmed down for a long time, pretending to be noble and cool.
"I don't want you to worry about it!"
Tears welled up in her eyes, but her body was broken and her mind was strong: "Oh, it's just a sprained foot. What a big deal, do you think I care?"
