Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Mr. Zhang is obviously a wine lover. As soon as he opened the wine jar and smelled the aroma of the wine, he couldn't help boasting: "Good wine! Mr. Shen is really generous, and he is so willing to take out this kind of good wine."

Shen Chenlan went down the steps to pick it up: "I specially kept it until the gentlemen came. There are still many hidden in the ground. If the gentlemen like it, they can dig a few jars and take them away when they go back."

After the men drank, the chatterbox slowly opened up.

Among them, I talked about the hardships of the gentlemen who rushed all the way to Suizhou.

As soon as these words were spoken, some people felt that it was not good.

These words are hidden in the heart on weekdays, and it is fine for everyone to talk behind their backs.

Why did he drift away after drinking some wine today, and actually babbled nonsense in front of Mr. Shen.

But when everyone was trembling with fear, instead of blaming him, Mr. Shen shared his experience with them as if they were fighting against each other.

"At the beginning, I took my family and walked for several months before arriving in Suizhou. When I first arrived in Suizhou, I met refugees. At that time, it was really..."

Since Shen Chenlan brought it up on his own initiative, someone couldn't help but wonder.

"I heard that when your lord was in the middle of the capital, the Imperial Academy entered as the number one scholar. How could he be transferred to Suizhou?"

This question raised the question of everyone present.

Shen Chenlan raised his hand and took a sip of a glass of wine. The smell of wine covered his face with a thin blush, and he seemed a little drunk.

He said: "Gentlemen, if you don't care, you can just call me Shen Lan. After all, you gentlemen are much more respected than me. As for why you came to Suizhou, many people have asked me this question, and I am also in a different state of mind." I have answered different answers, but what I want to say to you gentlemen today is because of need.”

He put down his wine glass, his eyes were clearer than before, and said: "There are a lot of talents in the capital, and the number one scholar can be caught everywhere. If I stay in the capital, it will undoubtedly be just icing on the cake. But Suizhou is different. If I come to Suizhou, it will be a gift in the snow." , can save tens of millions of people from fire and water. Since studying, Shen Lan has seen many people who have dedicated themselves to the country and the people, but in the two or three years in Beijing, Shen Lan only saw the officials, but not the people. Therefore, After much deliberation, Shen Lan decided to go to the local area to marry and do some practical things, so that this life will not be in vain."

What he said touched the hearts of several gentlemen.

I would like to ask those who study, why the original dream was not to sacrifice one's life for righteousness and serve the country.

But there are also people like Shen Chenlan who, after entering the officialdom, only see fame and fortune in the officialdom.

Slowly, I forgot my original intention.

Some of them have also obtained the honor of Jinshi, and have seen the pros and cons of officialdom, but in the end they chose to resign and become idle scholars.

Maybe sometimes when I think back to this decision, I feel sorry for my impulsiveness, but I have never analyzed myself so clearly, I am well versed in it, and I choose to stick to my original intention without hesitation.

After a long while, Mr. Qin came back to his senses and said, "I never thought Mr. Shen would have such a broad mind. I was the one who treated the belly of a gentleman as a villain before."

Shen Chenlan waved his hand and said: "Mr. Qin has high morals and high prestige, and he is really a role model for my generation. In the field of reading, if you can achieve Mr. Qin's attainments, how can this life not be in vain?"

Shen Chenlan's words can be regarded as a step down for the gentlemen.

It's not that those who don't stick to the official path like him are not good.

As long as you shine in your own field, you are also unique.
