Chapter 24: Wooing

"Welcome Shen Qingtian home. After leaving the lobby of the Criminal Department, Shen Yan took the two flawless sisters under the guidance of Chang Wu and wandered around the streets and alleys of Jinling City, one is familiar with the terrain of Jinling City, the second is to enjoy the antique scenery of Jinling City, and the third is to buy some exquisite and lovely jewelry, and so that a few people are a little tired, Shen Yan and his party returned to Wangjiang Tower, and just arrived at the door, Ah Fu shouted loudly.www.biquge.info

"Ah Fu, what are you talking nonsense?" Shen Yan smiled and gave Ah Fu a punch.

"Brother Shen, where am I talking nonsense, now your Shen Qingtian's reputation has resounded all over Jinling City." Ah Fu said with a sincere face, and then briefly said the reputation of Shen Yan's case and Shen Qingtian.

"Oh, it stands to reason that the people in the Criminal Department should block this news, how can they let the news spread?" There was a hint of doubt written on the corner of Shen Yan's eyebrows, what kind of mystery is there, could it be that other forces did it on purpose? If this is the case, then his life in the Criminal Department will be even more difficult, which is why he did not keep the Criminal Department after the sentence of Wu Huai's case, because he has not yet faced the strength of the Criminal Department, so he can only choose to retreat temporarily, and it can also be regarded as a buffer step for the Criminal Department to re-understand himself.

"Regardless of these things outside the body, people can't live in a false name, just live happily every day." Shen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Ah Fu with a smile, "Let's go in, I'm a little tired after a day of running, let Uncle Lin prepare some delicious food, and I'm going to feast on it tonight." ”

"Don't worry, the owner has already arranged it, and I have come here several times to look outside, and every time I go back uneasy." Ah Fu said quickly as if he was chattering.

Shen Yan's identity in Wangjianglou is a bit special, nominally he is the adviser of Wangjianglou, but basically he doesn't ask about anything, and it seems that Wangjianglou is his home, everyone in Wangjianglou is very kind to Shen Yan, and he has not changed because of the change of Shen Yan's identity, which may be related to Shen Yan's way of life, and he is full of emotions like family members for everyone here.

"May I ask Shen Yan, does Director Shen live here?" Approaching dusk, Shen Yan was running in the backyard of Wangjiang Tower, and a neutral voice came from outside the door.

"I don't know what this person is called?" Hearing the voice, Shen Yan jogged to the lobby, his face was ruddy, and a bead of sweat dripped down with Shen Yan's footsteps, looking at the person in front of him, a gray man in a long robe in his early forties stood in front of him with a straight waist.

"In Xia Su Changmei, the housekeeper of the Twelve Princes' Mansion." A hint of pride appeared on the face of the man in the gray robe.

"The Twelve Princes' Mansion? I don't know what advice Steward Su has when he comes this time? Shen Yan gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with a towel, and there was a faint smile on his face.

"I can't talk about advice, but I heard that Director Shen is young and promising, so I came here today to get to know him." A hint of a smile appeared in Su Changmei's eyes, and she quietly looked at Shen Yan who was wiping her sweat, as if she was about to see Shen Yan through all of a sudden.

"Thank you Steward Su for your kindness, but I just have a question in my heart, I don't know if I should ask?" Shen Yan looked at Su Changmei with a smile.

"What questions does Master Shen have?" Su Changmei seemed to know what Shen Yan wanted to ask, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm just curious about how Steward Su would pay attention to someone like Zai Xia who has no identity?" Shen Yan knew that Su Changmei was here to represent the meaning of the Twelve Princes, but some words could not be said directly.

"Why should Director Shen be humble, Director Shen's reputation has spread all over Jinling City, and he has become a new generation of youth representatives and models in Jinling City." There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Su Changmei's mouth, and she looked at Shen Yan lightly.

"Oh, why don't you know?" Shen Yan thought about Su Changmei's intention to come rashly, but he couldn't grasp it for a while, "Steward Su should be going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Haha, Director Shen is really a transparent person." A hint of surprise appeared in Su Changmei's eyes, some words can't be said so bluntly in the official face, mud legs are mud legs, no matter what kind of brocade clothes you wear, you still can't change the demeanor of Mu Monkey and crown, although she has a hearty smile on her face, "Yes, I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I came here with goodwill this time, and I also came for the future of Lord Shen." ”

"Oh, for the future below? I don't know what Steward Su thinks? A glimmer of spiritual light flashed in Shen Yan's mind, but he didn't grasp anything substantial, and glanced at Su Changmei with a hint of surprise, and Shen Yan asked with interest.

"I wonder if Director Shen knows the pattern of the court, whether he knows the pattern of Jinling City?" Su Changmei didn't answer directly, but glanced at Shen Yan with a look of expectation.

"Steward Su laughed, it has only been a few days since he came down to Jinling City, how can he know what Steward Su said." Shen Yan's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he looked at Su Changmei with some embarrassment.

"Haha, Director Shen doesn't have to be embarrassed, as Director Shen said, these things can't be figured out in a day or two." A hint of a smile appeared in Su Changmei's eyes, and a smug look flashed on her face, as if she was laughing, and it seemed to be a look that was really like this, "I came here next time to make a good relationship with Master Shen." ”

"Good karma? I don't know what Steward Su means by this? Shen Yan seemed to have grasped Su Changmei's intentions, but it didn't seem to be clear.

"I wonder if Master Shen knows about the Twelve Princes?" Su Changmei's eyes showed an inexplicable smile, seeing Shen Yan shook his head gently, and then said, "Although the twelve princes do not hold positions in the court, the mother family of the twelve princes is the famous Zhao family, the Zhao family is the northwest wang family, and its ancestors have followed and assisted Emperor Taizu to create the Great Xia Dynasty. ”

"Wow, the Zhao family is really powerful, but what does this have to do with Zaixia?" Shen Yan didn't seem to understand the meaning of Su Changmei's words.

"Chief Shen, please listen patiently." A trace of inexplicable look flashed in Su Changmei's eyes, as if she blamed Shen Yan for interjecting rashly, and seemed to think that Shen Yan was a little stupid, and then a trace of arrogance flashed in her eyes, "The Twelve Princes are deeply loved by the contemporary head of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family is also willing to assist the Twelve Princes to go further." ”

"Further? What is the prince going further? Shen Yan heard a flash of fire in his eyes when he heard this, and sure enough, these princes were all ambitious, "Steward Su rashly said this to Zaixia, aren't you afraid of telling the truth?" ”

"Whistleblowers? Haha, is Director Shen such a person? Su Changmei smiled arrogantly, "Even if Director Shen wants to go to Gaomi, I don't know where the way is?" It is estimated that the twelve princes already know about Chief Shen before he said it, and at the same time, which of these words you and I said is very disrespectful, how can the emperor or the Zongren Mansion care about these unwarranted words, or how can the emperor or the Zongren Mansion care about Director Shen's whistleblowing remarks. ”

What Su Changmei said was not polite at all, the emperor or the Zongren Mansion would not take Shen Yan who had no background in his eyes at all, how could he care about his inexplicable remarks, after hearing these words, the corners of Shen Yan's mouth raised slightly, and it seemed that Shen Yan was a little stinging.

"In view of the fact that Director Shen has talent and no background, to put it more bluntly, it is almost a dead end for Director Shen to achieve greater development with his talents, who cares about Director Shen without a background, if you are willing to do your best for the Twelve Princes in the future, the Twelve Princes will do their best to overcome obstacles for Director Shen and pave a broad road for Director Shen." Su Changmei's expression was arrogant, and there was a hint of sternness, a hint of disdain, and a hint of intimidation in her eyes.

"Haha, sure enough, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, I didn't think that I Shen Yan would be appreciated by the twelve princes on the first day of his tenure, I don't know if I should look up to the sky and laugh." Shen Yan touched his nose self-deprecatingly, casually hanging the towel on his shoulders as if incarnating as a shopkeeper, with a hint of wildness, joy, helplessness and worry on his face.

Shen Yan has always believed that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, if the court obtains high-level cultivation, the road to official career is undoubtedly unimpeded, but whether the twelve princes are the big tree they need, Shen Yan is not sure, the emperor has many heirs, there are many powerful and capable people, the twelve princes have always been inconspicuous, low-key people, except for reciting poems, he has never appeared in the court, never thought that his ambition is completely different from his daily performance, maybe he has been dormant, waiting for an opportunity.

It is true that the Twelve Princes are the first people to extend an olive branch to themselves, if Shen Yan has the ambition to climb up, Shen Yan should choose the Twelve Princes, but for some reason, he has never met with the Twelve Princes, and he does not know the personality and style of the Twelve Princes, but Shen Yan always feels that the Twelve Princes are not his good choice, perhaps it is Su Changmei's mouth that said that the Zhao family, the number one family in the northwest, makes Shen Yan feel scruples, how can a person who relies too much on a famous family rely on himself who was born with mud legs, And he is just icing on the cake for the twelve princes, not a charcoal in the snow, maybe he has a concept in his bones that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, maybe he didn't understand the emperor's will to be a lonely minister, but Shen Yan knew in his heart that the emperor was the only towering tree.

"I wonder if Director Shen has thought it through?" Looking at Shen Yan, whose face was changing, a trace of confidence flashed on Su Changmei's face, and she seemed to have decided that Shen Yan had no other choice in her heart, and a confident smile hung on her face.

"Thank you for the appreciation of the Twelve Princes, thank you for Steward Su's attention, this matter involves Yan's future, and Yan needs to think carefully." Shen Yan took a deep breath, his eyes were a little ethereal and misty, and he knew in his heart that the Twelve Princes were not pulling him together because he was really talented and could assist him to go further, but for show, to be a show of buying horse bones, and he also knew in his heart that once he rejected the other party, he would definitely be blocked by the other party, and even become a thorn in the other party's side.

"Then you have to think about Master Shen carefully, the Twelve Princes rarely appreciate an outsider, let alone extend an olive branch." A trace of anger flashed in Su Changmei's eyes, and she said with a threatening tone.
