Chapter 195
Inside Hanlin Mansion.

Shen Xian's words were merciless, Wang's old face seemed to have been scratched by a knife.

Slowly raising her wrinkled hand, Wang's face was gloomy.

"Okay, okay! Gu Lanshu, you have a lot of skills, let your daughter humiliate me, right?"

Gu Lanshu's eyes slowly looked elsewhere with complicated emotions. She has been excluded everywhere in the Hanlin Mansion these years, and it is impossible for her not to feel wronged in her heart.

At this moment when Shen Xian helped her vent her anger, she was both happy and surprised, happy because she let out a sigh of relief, and surprised because the days to come would be even more difficult.

Shen Xian sneered, and slowly looked at Gu Hanlin, "Master Gu, it seems that your words are not very useful in this family."

Gu Hanlin couldn't hold back, and gave Wang a cold sideways glance.

Wang's heart was blocked to death, but she dared not obey the master's words.

"Hmph, today is the old man's mistake, you are satisfied."

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Wang turned her head and left, her face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Although he couldn't help apologizing, Shen Xian was quite satisfied with slapping Wang's face in front of so many people.

Gu Hanlin let out a deep breath, he was very dissatisfied with Shen Xian's aggressive attitude, if it wasn't for money, he would have kicked her out long ago.

"Okay, it's all done according to your wishes, stop messing around."

Elder Gu Hanlin was reserved, with an old-fashioned tone.

Gu Lanshu hugged Shen Xian's arm tightly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing her like this, Shen Xian nodded stiffly.

As soon as he entered the door, there was such a commotion, even if he stayed, Shen Xian also knew that there was no good banquet.

Before the banquet, Gu Hanlin said a few polite words and began to eat.

Gu Lanshu frequently brought food to Shen Xian and Zhao Shun, and the people in the big room sat on the side and watched, with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Gu Hanlin drank a few glasses of water and wine, tested some of Zhao Shun's poems, dictionaries, and allusions, and confirmed that he had a lot of knowledge, and his eyes showed satisfaction.

Zhao Shun drank the wine silently, and did not take the initiative to mention the things that Gu Hanlin helped him with.

Zhao Shun didn't want Shen Xian to lose face if he asked for anything.

For Gu Hanlin, helping Zhao Shun open the door to his official career was just a matter of one sentence. After all, the regent was eager for talents to help him stabilize his position in the court, and such fresh blood was essential.

"Iron Tree, isn't it?" Gu Hanlin had a strange look on his face, Zhao Shun was talented and well-educated, but the name alone was really cheap.

"Exactly." Zhao Shun cupped his hands and said.

Gu Hanlin stroked his beard, and asked obliquely: "Now you must know the situation in the court, so I don't need to say more. I want to ask you how you think about the situation."

Zhao Shun's heart moved, Gu Hanlin had found out the truth, if the answer here is correct, there must be a stepping stone to the officialdom.

Arching his hands in the direction of the palace, Zhao Shun said solemnly: "When the emperor was young, the regent took control of the overall situation for a long time, and Liang Guo was able to stabilize the country."

Gu Hanlin nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "So, do you also think that the regent has made great contributions?"

"Naturally, the regent is a great hero." Zhao Shun said heavily on the word hero, and then said meaningfully: "In my opinion, the emperor's throne should be left to the regent."

After flattering the Prince Regent, Gu Hanlin laughed so hard that even his wrinkles softened.

"I am very relieved that you have such an idea. You will definitely have a place in the officialdom in the future." Gu Hanlin laughed loudly.

"Then thank you Lord Hanlin for your trouble." Although Zhao Shun was smiling, his eyes were cold.

On the other side, Shen Xian looked at the mountains of vegetables in the bowl, and felt a little helpless, she was not a food recycling machine, how could she finish eating so much.

Gu Lanshu smiled heavily, and said urgently, "Xian'er, why don't you eat it?"

Gu Fangman, who had a big house, rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "The country folks have never seen so many good dishes, they must be delusional."

Shen Xian slowly put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes to look at Gu Fangman, "With your knowledge, you can only say this kind of thing, these meals are delicacies to you, but to me they are just ordinary .”

Gu Fangman seemed to have heard something funny, and sneered again and again, "It's really a toad yelling, what a big tone."

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Gu Lanshu quickly smoothed things over, "Okay, okay, you guys have a quiet meal and don't quarrel."

Although Gu Lanshu is Gu Fangman's aunt in name, Gu Fangman doesn't take her seriously.

"You'd better take care of your daughter first, Miss Ben can do whatever she wants, you can't control her!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gu Hanlin glanced over. He spent a long time chatting here just to win over Shen Xian and his wife. As a result, Da Fang and his unworthy descendants all added to the chaos here.

When Gu Hanlin slapped the table, the dishes and chopsticks shook.

"You guys in the big house, get out if you don't eat, if you dare to talk nonsense here, I will hold your mouth!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Fangman pursed her lips and turned her face away. Gu Hanlin had never said that to her since she was a child, and now she actually yelled at her because of this little bastard.

Shen Xian was also confused at the moment, it stands to reason that he did not have such a big face, it is good enough for Gu Hanlin to let her enter the mansion for Gu Lanshu's sake, why he still defends himself everywhere, maybe he has other purposes.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Shen Xian and Gu Lanshu talked about family matters, Zhao Shun and Gu Hanlin talked about current political affairs, both of them were forced to do business.

It wasn't until the sky became dark that Shen Xian and Zhao Shun came out of the Hanlin Mansion, took a carriage and went back to Tongfu Inn.

After returning to the room, Shen Xian rarely fell on the bed, but sat by the window with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that she was preoccupied, Zhao Shun felt a little worried, and sat beside her and asked gently: "What's the matter, lady, but you were wronged in the Hanlin Mansion?"

Shen Xian shook his head lightly, thoughtfully said: "I think Gu Hanlin's attitude towards us is too friendly, as if he has some purpose, but what about us deserves his attention?"

Zhao Shun was slightly taken aback, and immediately said: "Lady, you are guarding Jinshan without knowing it, and your perfume formula is still a favorite even in the capital."

Shen Xian frowned lightly, although what Zhao Shun said was reasonable, but now that the Yan family has popularized perfume under the operation of the franchise model, why did Gu Hanlin still have the idea of ​​perfume?
After much deliberation, Shen Xian decided to write a letter to Yan Chongluan, urging him to come to the capital earlier.

Shen Xian thinks that she still lacks experience in business, if she doesn't have a knowledgeable helper, she might suffer a lot.

After studying the ink and adding the pen, Zhao Shun wrote the letter and sent it to the post overnight.
