Chapter 235 Trust

At the dinner table, Su's mother asked Shen Shilang carefully, "Xiao Shen, I heard from Jinshi that you are in the antique business?"

Shen Shilang nodded, "Yes."

"Which university did you graduate from?" Su's mother asked again.

Shen Shilang was well prepared for this. "I studied in a private school, majoring in history, including cultural relic identification, which is a bit like an archaeology major."

Su's mother didn't know much about these things, and was fooled by Shen Shilang into thinking they were quite high-end.

Of course, Shen Shilang did study at a high level in Daxi, but in modern times, there is no proof of his academic qualifications.

However, he has a job with a good income. Judging from Shen Shilang's good conversation, he looks like a well-educated person.

In addition, he was very good-looking, so Su's mother soon had no objections.

Later, according to Su's father, Su's mother also spoke up for Shen Shilang.

Some of the neighbors in the community who love gossip and don't think highly of others would say, "The boyfriend of the daughter of the Su family is too good-looking. I don't know what kind of person he is. Is he a playboy?"

"She's so pretty. Even if I don't take the initiative, there are still many people who do. How can I not be unfaithful?"

When Mother Su heard this, she said without hesitation, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Xiao Shen and my daughter have a good relationship. What's wrong with being good-looking? Who doesn't want to find a good-looking partner?" Su's mother said bluntly, "If you can find one, who would not want to?"

Everyone was embarrassed by what Su's mother said. The neighbor aunt that Su Jinshi and Shen Shilang met downstairs that day also said, "I think the child is very good, polite, elegant in conversation, and looks noble."

"So what does he do?" someone asked.

Mother Su said with a little pride: "I'm in the antique business."

"Oh my, this is a big business, it's not easy for ordinary people to do it." The neighbor aunt was surprised. "Although I don't know much about this business, I know that antiques are rare. You have to have a source of goods, you have to verify the authenticity, and you have to have buyers. The first one alone is very difficult to do."

Mother Su couldn't help but puff out her chest with pride, "That's true. Anyway, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with Xiao Shen. He is handsome, does good business, and can cook. He is well-spoken, elegant, and has a good temperament."

"Especially with this look. I've never seen him look so good."

"That's right." The neighbor aunt nodded repeatedly, "I've never seen anyone this pretty on TV."

Su Jinshi did not expect that Su's mother was so satisfied with Shen Shilang, so he told Shen Shilang about it.

That day, Su Jinshi was browsing Weibo when he suddenly saw the second trending search: "Archaeological team discovered tombs of a new dynasty."

New dynasty? Su Jinshi clicked on it out of curiosity. Wouldn't this rewrite the history textbooks? [Archaeologists have discovered a very high-level tomb, at least of the royal level. From the content of the scrolls in the tomb, it was determined that the dynasty was the Xi Dynasty. Since the current understanding of the Xi Dynasty is still blank, it is impossible to determine which period the Xi Dynasty was in. Archaeologists are still needed to conduct research and discover.]

Su Jinshi's eyes widened, and he hurriedly called Shen Shilang over, "Look!"

Shen Shilang took Su Jinshi's phone and clicked on the picture below. Some words could be vaguely recognized in the picture.

"This is..." Shen Shilang was speechless for a while, "My tomb of clothes and hats."

"It's the fifth..." Su Jinshi changed his words, "Did His Majesty make it for you?"

"Such regulations can only be made with the order of His Majesty," Shen Shilang said.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty's attitude towards you didn't change until the end, otherwise he wouldn't have built a cenotaph for you with such high standards." Su Jinshi said.

The funerary objects inside alone are enough to amaze archaeologists.

Su Jinshi said distressedly: "Why don't we give you a hint after we go back this time? If there is anything, just give it to you directly as a reward, instead of using it as a burial companion. Otherwise, it will be dug up and used by modern people."

Shen Shilang looked at the news and said, "I should have come to modern times with you and lived here, and never went back. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a cenotaph."

"It's a good thing you didn't go back, otherwise our bodies would probably be dug out now." Su Jinshi complained.

Shen Shilang: "..."

"This is an angle I have never thought of." Shen Shilang nodded.

"However, it's hard to say whether His Majesty's attitude towards me has changed." Shen Shilang said, "No one can predict what will happen in the future. Maybe it won't change, or maybe it will change. After I leave, many years later, His Majesty will remember my kindness and build a tomb for me."

"I still hope you haven't changed." Su Jinshi said.

Now Shen Shilang no longer has to worry about being plotted against when he is not around like he did before.

Therefore, there is no need for Su Jinshi to buy an accelerator to convert the speed of time flow.

As a result, in Daxi, Master Shen would disappear for one month every other month.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the court gradually stabilized.

People began to think about change.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Some people couldn't stand the new emperor's reliance on Shen Shilang, nor could they stand Shen Shilang's dominance, so they began to say bad things about Shen Shilang in the new emperor's ears when Shen Shilang was away.

The new emperor was asked not to rely too much on Shen Shilang, fearing that Shen Shilang's power would be too great and endanger the imperial authority, or even that he was suspected of undermining the new emperor.

The new emperor listened to their words quietly before he said, "You all would like to stay in my study every day and not go back home. Have you ever seen a power-hungry person disappear for a month every other month?"

Everyone: “…”

"If the Grand Tutor were not here, would you have the opportunity to stand here and say these words to me?" the new emperor said sarcastically.

Everyone: “…”

They also made a mistake.

I thought Shen Shilang wanted to seize all power while the emperor was still young.

Who would have thought that Shen Shilang would disappear for one month every other month.

Is it really as the new emperor said, is there anyone who is so greedy for power?

When Shen Shilang came back again, His Majesty complained to him, "Taifu always disappears for a long time like this. If something big happens, what should I do if I can't make a decision?"

"I have already taught Your Majesty everything I can." Shen Shilang smiled and said, "Besides, Your Majesty already has a plan in mind. Even if I am not here, Your Majesty will be able to deal with it calmly."

"Your Majesty, all you need to do is trust your own judgment," Shen Shilang said.

His Majesty looked at Shen Shilang and said, "Grand Tutor could have taken the opportunity to gain higher power, but he chose to retreat again and again at this time. Those people just couldn't understand and even spoke ill of you."

Shen Shilang smiled slightly, "I don't need them to understand, as long as Your Majesty understands."

"Your Majesty, you have to work harder. I plan to retire early." Shen Shilang said.

His Majesty:"……"

No, it’s only been a short time and you’re already thinking about retiring?
