On this day, Shen Si went to Chengyang's house as a guest, and Chengyang set up wine to entertain him. The two cousins chatted while drinking, and the interest was very high. Unconsciously, when the wine was half drunk, Shen Si said to Chengyang very proudly: "Cousin, tell you a good news, you will definitely be happy for your little brother." Chengyang asked with concern, "If my cousin has any happy things, come and listen to Brother Fool." Shen Si said, "The younger brother has already received a county order reward the day before yesterday, and he is about to be promoted." Looking at Shen Si's happy look, Chengyang did not smile at all, nor did he have a word of congratulations or compliments.

Shen Si originally thought that he would be appreciated by his cousin, but Chengyang's performance disappointed him.
