The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

It's still early in the day after eating and drinking. Xiao Sui'er urged the belching boy and the guards to go to the carriage in the yard to take out all the bedding, mats, and mats and move them to the guest room. Su Jin asked in bewilderment, "What are you doing?" ? Is it because you are afraid of stealing the car? Will the inn not pay if something happens?"

Xiao Sui'er pointed to the quilt and mat on the bed in the inn and said: "Look at this quilt, which is as dirty as it was pulled out of the ashes and has not been smoked. It smells like a strange smell, how can you sleep on it? My lord, go to the yard first. Turn around and go to the little maid to replace all these with the quilts brought by me so that you won't sleep well later in the day."

Su Jin laughed dumbly and said, "You don't have to work all night, you can just deal with it."

Xiao Sui'er pushed him out and said, "Master, I don't know that these quilts look dark and not clean, and I don't know how many people have slept on them. If you accidentally contract mange, it's not a joke."

Su Jin had no choice but to walk downstairs towards the yard outside the lobby. After Xiao Sui'er shouted: "Dude! Dude! Take away these rags from your house Wash and dry frequently."

The guys had already been reminded by the shopkeeper to be more careful. Hearing the little lady's shout, they rushed to the room and took away all the piles of quilts and mats that had been thrown on the ground.

Shaking a folding fan, Su Jin walked out of the lobby slowly and came to the small courtyard outside. The small courtyard of this store is still neat and clean. The clean, hard ground is still scratched by the broom. The smell of earth; the low barn on the right is tied to a few mules and two horses. The mules are naturally their own buttocks with their own brand on their faces. The two horses should be the students from Bianliang who joined the store together. It seems that the background is not small.

Su Jin walked slowly along the gravel road in the middle of the yard. The setting sun was setting and the scorching heat was dissipating. Occasionally, a gust of warm wind would pass through the hall, making the two big-leaf willows in the yard rattle and drop many half-yellow leaves and molted insect shells. .

Huanniang came behind Su Jin holding a cup of tea and silently followed him. Su Jin walked slowly and thoughtfully with his hands behind his back.

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard and suddenly heard voices coming from behind the trees outside the courtyard.

"It's really not good for us to go back like this. If someone exposes the master, you won't be so angry." A childish voice said anxiously.

"If you want to go back, you should go back to this...my lord...but if you don't go back, you will be bored at home all day and you will almost suffocate. Finally, you got the chance to sneak out and play whatever you want this time." Another clear and somewhat suppressed voice said .

"Then how can you become a child... What if the master sends someone? The maidservant will be beaten to death."

"No, daddy can't be cruel and say everything is me; don't worry, as long as you help me cover up, I will go back naturally if you play here for a month or two. Daddy is just me... babe, he won't do anything and say I'm not Leave a book for him saying that you want to go out and play for a few days?"

"You don't want to come to the academy to play. This is a place where young masters and gentlemen come. There are many famous mountains and rivers in the world. Wherever you go, the maidservants will follow you. There is no need to use the name of the master to get a place in the academy and come here. "

"You don't understand me, I have a reason."

"But..." The little maid had yet to be persuaded.

"Don't be so... just do it like this. If you keep talking, I will drive you away." There was some anger in the young man's words.

Hearing this, Su Jin hurriedly pulled away and left. He didn't want to hear other people's little secrets; he didn't expect that just as he was about to turn around and behind the tree, a white figure flashed out. The alumnus is dressed in a white Confucian gown, wearing a square scarf on his head, has delicate eyebrows, a thin and handsome body, but feels a little girly.

Su Jin didn't have time to hide and turned around again, looking like a cover-up, so he had to bite the bullet and look forward.

The young man came out from behind the tree and suddenly saw someone standing beside him, his two faint eyebrows gradually raised, his handsome nose also wrinkled, and seeing Su Jin's actions hesitating, his eyes wandering, and his judgment was confirmed, he stood on the side of the road and stared Look at Su Jin fiercely.

Su Jin's scalp was numb, and others looked at him and he was not good, so he closed his folding fan and bowed his hands in a salute: "My lord, you also come out to get some fresh air. The air here is really good. The scenery is beautiful. When will the sunset be back? Se."

The young man returned a salute with a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said: "The beauty of the sunset is indeed beautiful, but I am here to appreciate it, but you are probably not here to appreciate it."

Su Jin said in his heart: I was shot while lying down, but I just walked around and this place is not your home.

But it's meaningless to argue like this, pretending not to understand, just smiling and walking.

The young master said angrily: "You are too unreasonable to eavesdrop, you just don't even say a word of apology. Is this what a scholar should do?"

Seeing him sticking to her, Su Jin felt a headache and cupped his hands, and said, "Young master, I just came out for a walk and didn't intend to eavesdrop on your conversation. I didn't hear a word of what you said, young master, don't want to blame others indiscriminately. "

The young master opened his eyes and said angrily: "I blame you? Am I blaming you? If I hadn't walked out from behind the tree just now, you wouldn't know when you would have heard it? You are just spying on others*** There are so many open spaces here Why do you want to come to my side for a walk and say it’s not intentional?”

Su Jin's scalp was numb, why did he meet such an unreasonable person, he was so big, any bird could suppress his anger and smiled and said: "The inside and outside of the inn, Mr. If you don’t allow me to go, if you want to say that I eavesdropped on your conversation, I’m afraid I can’t be blamed for this mistake.”

The young master said, "Don't blame me for not doing it?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "You should put up a notice board here and say: My son is chatting and talking here, within a hundred steps, it is forbidden to enter and violators will be punished as a crime of eavesdropping on others. Wouldn't this be the end of it all?"

"Stand up a notice board? What kind of bad idea is that?" the young master wondered, and soon realized that it was Su Jin teasing himself, and then he said angrily, "Well, you stinky scholar, you actually used this young master to eavesdrop on other people's sex, and you're still so arrogant I want I want……"

"I want" for a long time, but she couldn't say anything beautifully, she was just trembling with anger, Huanniang couldn't bear to walk forward, and explained softly: "Young master, you really misunderstood my son, we just left the hospital for a while We didn’t hear anything when you came out from behind the tree, young master.”

The young man blinked and said, "Really?"

Huanniang said: "If that's the case, why bother to lie to you when you're away from home, who will do such a troublesome thing?"

The young master paused in his anger and muttered: "It's good if you didn't hear it. This man doesn't explain clearly. He's such a coward." After saying 'hum', he turned around and took the little maid with her head held high, into the inn.

Su Jin can't laugh or cry, it's really unlucky to meet such an entangled master today, he doesn't care about indiscriminate training, and when he arrives, he is called "Lao Tzu" by a wimp, who is provoking someone.

Seeing Su Jin's embarrassing expression, Huanniang raised her teacup and said with a chuckle, "My lord, you can calm down and drink some tea with someone who has nothing to do with you."

After being enlightened by her soft words, most of the anger in Su Jin's heart dissipated, and he took a sip from the teacup; then he heard Huanniang softly say: "Did you see it?"

Su Jin asked in surprise, "What do you see?"

Huanniang said: "This young master is a woman."

Su Jin staggered and almost dropped the teacup on the ground, quickly stabilized his body and blew on his burned fingers, "How do you know?"

Huanniang covered her mouth and smiled: "He pretended to be very similar and his voice was thickened, but the ears and eyes of the ears couldn't cover one ear and two ears. I heard that the northern barbarian men only pierce their ears and eyes. In Song Dynasty, whoever pierces their ears except women It's a woman who wears earrings on weekdays."

Su Jin was stunned for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, Huanniang laughed too, but Su Jin gloated and said, "This is good, a woman disguised as a man got mixed into Yingtian Academy, haha, this is fun."
