first minister

Chapter 129 Weisi people, who am I to return to ([-])

an article?

The eldest lady came here on a special trip just to read an article for her son/husband?

Su Yuanshang's parents and wife were dumbfounded.

Everyone knows that Su Yuanshang has never been famous for his literary talent?

"Not interested in."

Su Yuanshang also shook his head as expected, and burped loudly, showing no face at all.

Now he sees everything away, and he doesn't care about offending the important people in the clan. If there are family members who need to be taken care of, he even wants to save the superficial politeness and etiquette.

As soon as these unceremonious words came out, his family members almost raised their hearts to their throats. They wanted to persuade him, but they knew it was useless, and they were afraid that their good intentions would add fuel to the fire, so they could only look at Su Yanyan nervously.

Su Yanyan was still calm, and took out an envelope from his cuff, "Xia Jingyun wrote it, and I copied it. He left and went to Zhongjing."

As she spoke, she asked the maid to hand it over, as if she was confident that Su Yuanshang would pick it up.

When Su Yuanshang heard Xia Jingyun's name, his eyes regained some clarity.

Hearing the news of Xia Jingyun's departure, an inexplicable sense of disappointment appeared on his haggard expression. After hesitating for a moment, he really reached out to take it.

He slowly opened the envelope.

He originally had to deal with a lot of letters every day, and he hadn't touched them for a long time since he came back.

Pulling out the letter paper, the words on the paper jumped into view.

【Yueyang Tower】

[In the winter of the 23rd year of Chongning, I traveled to Yueyang County, met with Junyan of the Su family in Yueyang Tower, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, talked about the world, and had a lot of feelings. I wrote an essay to remember it. 】

He remained expressionless and continued to look down.

When I saw the sentence "Going to the country and homesickness, worrying about slander, fearing ridicule, full of desolation, feeling extremely sad and sad", my whole body was shocked like an electric shock.

Isn't this what he looks like now, resigned from office, lonely and returning to his hometown, full of desolation, how can he not feel extremely sad!
He pursed his lips, and for the first time, besides the indifferent expression, there were some other emotions on his face.

Su Yanyan fixed his eyes on him, and his heart was silently looking forward to it.

She came here not for herself, nor for the Su family, but for Xia Jingyun.

She could see Xia Jingyun's admiration for Su Yuanshang, and also tacitly felt Xia Jingyun's desire to bring Su Yuanshang under his command, and the regret that he had never been able to succeed.

So, after getting this piece of Yueyang Tower, she was moved by Xia Jingyun's grandeur, and she also thought, to help him take this trip, and try to see if Su Yuanshang can cheer up again.

She wasn't sure about that.

Su Yuanshang's gaze stayed at that section for a long time, and he continued to look down.

Seeing the joy of letting go of wine and forgetting favors and disgraces together, he couldn't help thinking of the time when he was high-spirited and became a dazzling star in Daxia's officialdom.

All gone.

The sky is still cloudy.

Su Yuanshang sighed, and suddenly felt a little less interested.

But there is a beginning and an end, it is something engraved in his bones, subconsciously he continued to read it.

Then, his heart was smashed like a heavy hammer.

More than a hammer.

Not pleased, not to have compassion!
If you live high in the temple, you will worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king!
Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later!

The three sentences that suddenly raised his emotions were like three consecutive heavy hammers, brutally smashing the door of his self-closed heart to pieces.

Aren't you just an official, just complaining and giving up on yourself?
Go to your uncle's seal of heart and love, and drink away your sorrows!

Let me tell you, a truly awesome person should neither be pleased with things nor be saddened by himself, but be as tolerant of the ups and downs of life as he is able to tolerate the Yin Yu Feifei and Chunhe Jingming in Dongting Lake.

You have adjusted your mentality, and then what?
If you live high in the temple, you will worry about your people; if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler.

Why can't you have the world in your heart?

What?Why do you ask me to do this?

Because I think you, Su Yuanshang, are such a person, just like the people with lofty ideals in ancient times.

Such a person can be summed up in one sentence: worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later!

Su Yuanshang was completely awakened.

He remembered the vows he made in his heart when he was studying hard in the cold window;

I thought of the ambition that I secretly grew up with full of admiration when I heard the people of the clan praise Mr. Su;

I remembered the unavoidable smugness in my heart when I looked at those frustrated in the officialdom;
I remembered the contempt from the bottom of my heart for those colleagues who changed their original intentions at the slightest setback, were wise and safe, and even joined forces with others;
I thought of the hardships of the common people, the expectations of my family members, and even Xia Jingyun's persistence in visiting several times in succession and the regret of not wanting to leave.
But even so, the other party still wrote such an article, trying to wake himself up.

I used to regard him as a successor, but looking at it now, the other party is the real guide in my life!
He didn't know it himself, but in the eyes of everyone around him, his originally indifferent expression suddenly became vivid under this article.

Shock, confusion, remorse, shame, and emotion all appeared on his face in turn, just like in a big market.

Both his parents and his wife couldn't help but wonder what the eldest lady gave him.

Can a mere article really have such a big effect?
Seeing Su Yuanshang's ever-changing expression, Su Yanyan also heaved a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he had made the right bet.

This trip would also be of great help to him.

Although he didn't say it, and she didn't ask, but this is the tacit understanding that should exist between a pair of golden boys and girls who are still in the flirtatious stage for the time being.

Su Yanyan was a little happy, the curvature of the corner of her mouth was betraying her.

But immediately, that trace of arc quietly disappeared.

Because the complicated but vivid expressions on Su Yuanshang's face slowly disappeared, and the whole person fell into silence again.

Crowd: ? ? ?
As everyone knows, Su Yuanshang is also confused at the moment.

It is true that he realized how wrong and meaningless his actions in the past few days were, and he was sorry for others and himself, but at the same time, he fell into another layer of confusion, what else could he do?

His ability, or his pursuit of life, is all about helping the people, serving as an official, and benefiting one party, but now he can't do those things anymore, so what if he wakes up?

It's not like you can only sit at home and spend the rest of your life, it's better to be drunk and dream of dying!
After going around in a circle, Su Yuanshang went back again.

It sounds like this person is pretty cool, but when you think about it carefully, it's really not his fault.

A new political star who was already a prefect of a county in his 30s, and was sure to be promoted, and eventually hoped to be a minister or even a chancellor, suddenly had to stay at home with his wife and children. The sharp drop in such a short period of time, the kind of at a loss after being deprived of the path dependence, ordinary few people can bear it.

Just when the situation took a turn for the worse, an unexpected person came outside Su Yuanshang's house.

When the man with the huge cloak covering his face walked into the porter and showed his face, the porter almost scrambled and rushed into the backyard.

A moment later, Mrs. Luo stood in front of Su Yuanshang.

Now that the Luo family in Zigui County has withdrawn the lawsuit and divorced his wife, Mrs. Luo's official charges are gone, and she can return to Sujiawu.

The old couple naturally burst into tears, Mrs. Su was very dissatisfied and turned her face away, but Su Yanyan thought of something and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Sure enough, seeing his sister's face, Su Yuanshang stood up and nodded to her with emotion, but Mrs. Luo hugged him, crying out her regret and gratitude.

Hearing some touching words, Su Yuanshang felt a little sad, and Mrs. Su rolled her eyes to the sky.

"Brother, I'm back this time, and I have something else to do."

Mrs. Luo wiped the tears from her face and looked at Su Yuanshang, "I was sent back by Mr. Xia this time. He asked me to invite you to Beijing together. He said that although there is no official status, many things in this world can only be done by officials. There are many ways to contribute to the world. He wants to work with you."

She reached into her bosom, took out a note from her bosom, and handed it over, "He also asked me to bring you a sentence."

Su Yuanshang reached out to take it, opened it, and froze in place.

There is really only one sentence on the paper: why cut the candles in the west window together, but talk about the rainy night on the green hills.
