Tao Ziyun said frankly to Shen Shen: "Haha, Lord Shen, if you dare to be a guest in my mansion, and let me be a guest in your mansion, it means that you are open-minded; ”

Shen Shen replied in high spirits: "Okay! Now we will go to our respective official offices to handle official business, and after we have finished our duty, I will take you to my house as a guest." ”

Tao Ziyun happily agreed: "Okay! In the evening, I will wait for you outside the yamen of the housekeeping office!"

"Accompany!" Shen Shen said intoxicatedly, and quickly went out first.

In the evening, Tao Ziyun waited outside the gate of the housekeeping mansion until Shen was intoxicated, and they rode their respective horses and came to the "Shen Mansion" one after another.

In the Shen Mansion, there are many male servants, but the maids and maids have not been seen for the time being.

Shen Shenzui took Tao Ziyun into the hall, and asked someone to come over to serve tea, and it was all brought by the male servant. After the manservant served tea, Shen Shen was drunk and ordered the man to prepare wine and food.

Tao Ziyun naturally asked Shen Shen about his family: "Lord Shen's mansion, besides the servants, what other relatives are there?"

Shen Shen replied coldly: "Lord Tao, I'm sorry, except for the male servant, the official in the mansion is the official." ”

Tao Ziyun laughed and said intoxicatingly: "It turned out to be a naked official! If you do something bad and escape alone, the whole family is safe." ”

Shen Shen said to Tao Ziyun unhappily: "Master Tao, this kind of joke can't be messed around! So far, this official has not done anything to embezzle or accept bribes. ”

Tao Ziyun reminded Shen Shen and said: "Lord Shen is not thoughtful, the way of being an official is not just a bad thing of greed for money and misdeeds. If you do things like disregard for people's lives, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, it will be the worst of the worst. ”

Shen Shen replied secretly and proudly: "Fortunately, Lord Tao reminded me before the official did these bad things, Lord Tao, as the superintendent of the imperial history of the court, if there is enough deterrent. It is expected that this official will not commit these evil deeds in the future. ”

Tao Ziyun said this, but he still only intended to remind: "Lord Shen, according to what you said, there are no female dependents in your mansion now, you must know that this is also a mistake!"

"Oh, what did Master Tao see?" Shen asked with interest.

Tao Ziyun responded unhurriedly: "Here, all I can see is as if you haven't married a wife yet." But. I've seen it elsewhere, you have a wife and a daughter!"

Shen Shen was surprised at this moment: "You have been to my hometown of Shanyin to investigate my details!?"

Tao Ziyun said to Shen Shen according to the truth: "I'm not going to investigate your details, I have already lived in Shanyin, and I am not qualified to investigate you at that time." I had just made a bunch of friends in San'in at that time, and your daughter Shen Rouming was one of my friends. ”

Shen Shen asked Tao Ziyun with a solemn expression: "My daughter is your friend, what else do you want to say?"

Tao Ziyun slowly said to Shen Shenzui: "I want to ask you, you ignore your wife and daughter, and do not fulfill your responsibilities as a husband and father, are you doing this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Shen Shen waved his arm: "This is my housework." Leave it alone!"

Tao Ziyun resolutely pressed Shen Shenzui: "You also know that this is your housework! Isn't the housekeeping government in charge of housework?

Shen Shen said to Tao Ziyun in annoyance: "I have said everything, so far, I have not been corrupt or bribed. I am a clean official, 'it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs', you must understand this truth!"

"Oh! You think you can't do this official position by yourself, right? If you can't do it, let Xian do it! Let other people who are both clean officials and can cut off household affairs do housework orders!" Tao Ziyun was talking about the right thing at this time.

Shen Shen defended himself and said, "It was Prince Jin who recommended me to do this housework order. I reluctantly did it. Besides, people who are both clean officials and can cut off family affairs may not be able to find them in the world! It's for corrupt officials to do housework!"

Tao Ziyun replied seriously: "There is no one in the world who is both a clean official and can interrupt housework? At that time, you can give that person a virtuous person!"

Shen Shen replied without any choice: "Yes! If you can find such a talent from heaven, I will immediately let Xian!"

"That's it!" Tao Ziyun said to Shen Shen dissatisfiedly: "Before I find such a person, you are still the housekeeping order of the housekeeping office, and you have to give priority to your own housework." If you feel so embarrassed, then I will help you go to San'in and bring your wife and daughter over. ”

"You don't have to worry about it, the official doesn't like to live with his wife and daughter. Unexpectedly, Shen Shenzui resolutely refused Tao Ziyun's help.

"Your daughter and wife are very good people, you should enjoy living with them, you are making a mistake by ignoring them!" Tao Ziyun's tone became stern.

Shen Shenzui said to Tao Ziyun in a pitiful tone: "Master Tao, you must know that being excellent is not always a good thing, if it is too good, her light will cover me, and the only way to avoid letting her light cover me is not to be with her." No, I'm not with her, and she doesn't let my daughter live with me. As a result, it's what you see. ”

Tao Ziyun glanced at Shen Shen drunkenly, and reproached him: "You are a dignified military general, and now you are still the housekeeping order of the prominent housekeeping house, how can you think that your wife's light will overshadow you? You are also a little confident!"

Shen Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lord Tao, it seems that although you have lived in Shanyin, you don't know my past. ”

Tao Ziyun said bluntly: "I am good friends with your wife and daughter, but I don't want to know too much, and asking them too much will make everyone think that I am beating their ideas." So, if there's anything I don't know, just say it. ”

Shen Shen was drunk and slowly told Tao Ziyun: "Okay, I tell you, when I met her on a cruise on the Shaojiang River in Shanyin, her excellence touched my heart, so I asked someone to ask her family for marriage, and she also agreed to this family business, as a result, she was born in a martial arts family and became the head of the Ronghui Association, heroes and beauties in one, it was really brilliant." I thought I was just a little talent, and I had to work hard to study, but I found that it was too difficult to take the literary road, and like my wife, I started to learn martial arts, and became a small military attache in other places, which also made me avoid her light and become a naked official as you say. ”

Shen Shen's intoxicated behavior still surprised Tao Ziyun: "You are really innocent, if you don't live with Zhang Yanrong, haven't you thought about finding another one?"

"You have to understand that my wife has become an excellent person with a combination of heroes and beauties, and I have become an alternative talent with a combination of scholars and heroes. As a scholar, I like to read books, and as a hero, I like to read big stories like "Water Margin". In that story, heroes don't love women but only love to be heroes, in "Water Margin", most of the heroes are not married, and after they get married, they usually go to be heroes alone, just like that, I'm used to being alone together. The more Shen Shen said, the more he felt that he had a point.

Tao Ziyun laughed and said: "You are too deeply affected by those big words, in fact, you learn from those heroes and heroes, and you learn from nondescript, those heroes are gathering mountains and forests and doing the way for the people, but you have unknowingly become an important minister of the court." ”

Shen Shen was taken aback: "Uh, you can't talk nonsense, no matter how much I want to be a hero, I don't want to oppose the court like the people in "Water Margin". You and I are both important ministers of the court, not only to be heroes, but also to serve the court, after all, today's court is not bad, and it has not yet reached the point where the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it. ”

Tao Ziyun bitterly persuaded Shen Shen and said: "I mean, you are an important minister of the imperial court, and you can be regarded as radiant, and you are comparable to your wife! Listen to me, go back to Shanyin, take your wife and daughter with you, and shine with them!"

Shen Shen was still pondering, and the servant came over to report and said, "Lord Shen, dinner is ready." ”

Shen Shen was drunk and relieved, and took advantage of the situation to divert the topic, and instructed the manservant: "Serve wine and food!"

Tao Ziyun was not in a hurry, and saw what Shen Shen and the others would say.

Shen Shenzui personally scooped a bowl of rice for Tao Ziyun: "Eat a little first, and then drink, so that you will not be easy to get drunk, and you can not let the wine hurt your body." ”

"Hehe, you still have this exquisiteness, okay, the guest is as you please, I'll eat first." Tao Ziyun took the meal handed over by Shen Shenzui and ate it unceremoniously, "Lord Shen, have you eaten anything?"

Shen Shen asked Tao Ziyun a little worriedly: "What did you eat?"

"I have eaten a burnt taste, and although there is no burnt pot in the rice brought by your servant, the burnt smell of the rice is still very obvious. Tao Ziyun's mockery of Shen Shen was even more intoxicated.

"You mean, let me teach the cooking manservant a hard lesson?" Shen Shen was already full of embarrassment, and obviously, he also ate the burnt smell of the rice.

Tao Ziyun replied solemnly: "That's not what I mean, I'm thinking, if your wife was by her side and she trained the servants who cooked, this situation would not have occurred." As an important minister of the court, you are as radiant as your wife, and you don't need to feel inferior to her anymore. Listen to me and take her over, shall you?"

"However, when you invite someone from heaven who can not only cut off household affairs but also be a clean official, I will have to let Xian! How can I be as radiant as her?" Shen Shenzui said, which made Tao Ziyun also contradict. (To be continued......)
