Chapter 41

Su Yan felt even more desolate when she looked at the group of people in front of her who were laughing wildly and humiliating the maids for fun. These people in front of me were born into noble families. Even if they are extravagant and wasteful and don't care about the suffering of the people, they can still become high officials in the future.

On the other hand, Zhou Xu was a descendant of a declining gentry, and he still had a collection of books and money at home, so he was much better off than the many students who truly came from poor families. And even if they are talented, they cannot be recommended by climbing up to a prominent family. Being an inconspicuous official in the court is not only difficult to achieve their ambitions, but also to maintain the status of a distinguished family.

Are they writing articles for such people and clinging to such a group of people?

There was a kind of powerless anger in Su Yan's heart, and she could only clench her fists helplessly. Then they seemed to find some fun, and they took the maid beside them and pushed them into the water. Su Yan was not spared.

When she got up from the icy water, soaked to the skin, Su Yan's lips were so cold that they turned white. She stood aside dripping with water to serve. Like other companions, she shivered when the wind blew.

After finally waiting for the drinks at the banquet to be finished, they wanted to change to better wine. Su Yan followed Bihe, who was also soaked, to warm the wine.

The two looked at each other with unconcealable anger in their eyes.

Su Yan twisted her sleeves and sighed: "Are all the nobles in Chang'an like this?"

Bi He said helplessly: "Not all are like this, but no matter which family the princes and grandsons come from, they are all like us. The maid is different. She is still young today, so don’t worry about it..."

After listening to Bi He's words, she still couldn't swallow the breath in her heart, so she opened the wine bottle and spat into it a few times.

When Bihe saw it, he followed her example and spat into it, and shook the wine bottle, as if this would make him feel better.

After Su Yan returned with the wine, they continued to drink and have fun until an unexpected guest arrived, breaking the cheerful atmosphere at the banquet.

Lin Zhao walked in aggressively, found his brother's position accurately, and said with a gloomy face: "Why don't you get up quickly."

The young man, who had just returned the drink and was in high spirits, immediately felt as if he had been poured cold water on his head. , stood up in excitement and stood in front of Lin Zhao with his neck hunched. Others were also a little afraid of Lin Zhao. He was clearly a peer, but because of his outstanding talents, he had always been a role model for the children of the aristocratic family. He worked with their father at a young age, and no one dared to make Lin Zhao dissatisfied. The staggered people all sat upright, sitting upright and waiting for Lin Zhao to speak.

Lin Zhao glanced at the surrounding maids who were shivering because they were wearing wet clothes, and said sternly: "It's not appropriate. Where have you read all the sages' books? Is this how you are taught to treat several women like this?"

Lin Zhao lost his temper, even if someone I felt dissatisfied and didn't dare to contradict him.

"Now go and make amends to them, and leave immediately after making amends."

After all, they all come from noble families. Although Lin Zhao worked with their father, they were a little afraid of him, but they were not willing to argue with a group of unimportant people just for a word from him. If the maids admitted their mistake, it would be a slap in the face.
