The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The two of them were hungry, their chests sticking to their backs. They thought they could run in the afternoon, but they didn’t expect that there were so many things going on in the academy, so they wandered out of the academy to the place where their cars and horses were parked, looking for their own driver to see if there was anything to eat. Pad the stomach first.

Seeing Xia Silin following behind her ass step by step, Su Jin secretly laughed. They met each other two days ago and pinched each other. In a blink of an eye, Xia Silin became her own little tail. Looking at her curved eyebrows and small mouth, she is obviously a big girl. beauty.

Su Jin didn't want to get too close to her. He had just experienced Yan Biyun's ruthless abandonment of Su Jin, and his heart was still aching. He just thought that making fun of Mr. Xia, who was disguised as a man, would relieve the depression in his heart. What do you think about her? That's a shadowy thing.

The two of them each found their own cars, the driver Su Jin saw at a glance that the corners of Xiao Zhuzi's mouth were greasy leaning against the car, snoring contentedly, so he didn't let out a sigh of relief; Under the shade of the trees blown by the cool breeze, eat, drink, sleep and sleep. Even the mule named Xiaoqing put its long mouth in front of it, sniffing the aroma of food between the half pot of bean cakes and clear water, and taking a nap.

Su Jin suddenly felt that he was so damn pitiful and working so hard, he was not as good as the driver and a mule. This scene reminded him of a story he had heard in later generations.

The story goes: A king visited a village under a big poplar tree in the scorching heat of summer and saw a disheveled beggar sleeping. He felt very pitiful, so he asked, "Why don't you work hard?"

The beggar said, "What's the benefit of working hard?"

The king said: "If you work hard, you will have money, and then you can buy a big house and marry a beautiful wife. When you are richer, you will have entourage to serve you. You have beautiful carriages and nice clothes that people envy... Isn't this what you yearn for?"

The beggar said: "If I have all the things you mentioned, what can I do?"

The king said: "Then you can lie down on the cool chair under the shade of the tree and sleep well without any worries."

The beggar said strangely: "Aren't I just sleeping carefree right now? What do you mean by that to me?"

Su Jin's feeling at this moment is like that of a king who suddenly realizes that he has worked hard to achieve the goal that his coachman Xiao Zhuzi has already achieved. This makes Su Jin feel that he can't accept his decision to ruthlessly interrupt this boy's dream. .

"Slept soundly, did you eat another soy elbow?" Su Jin patted Xiao Zhuzi's sleepy face and grinned.

"Don't make trouble." Xiaozhuzi muttered and opened Su Jin's hand: "I only ate three, anyway, after lunch time, I must have eaten in the academy."

Xiaozhuzi said in a daze, turned over and continued to sleep; Su Jin was so angry that he didn't expect that the word would become a prophecy, this product is actually a soy sauce elbow, and he ate three. Needless to say, the elbow must have been packed by Sui'er early in the morning I asked him to bring it for lunch; I was so sorry that I didn't even see an elbow hair, and I got into the stomach of this guy. Thinking of stretching out my foot here, I kicked the fat buttocks of the small pillar.

"Do you still have any respect for the Lord if you don't leave one to the Lord?" Su Jin scolded.

Xiaozhuzi was attacked in a dream, sat up and stretched out his hands, picked up the whip, and wanted to resist Su Jin, seeing his stupid look, was even more annoyed, kicked Xiaozhuzi hard at his buttocks, only then did he see clearly that his master was in a hurry He shouted: "My lord, what's the matter with you? Isn't the young one just a good sleeper? I have been waiting here for several hours, but the young one has not been lazy and went out for a walk."

Su Jin stopped angrily, sat down on the shaft of the car and gasped for breath, after some movement between the two, Xiaoqing was woken up, stared at the two, tilted her head and continued to sleep.

"My lord, what's the matter with you? Are you angry with your husband?"

"Don't be so long-winded here. Is there anything to eat? Grandpa is so hungry that his chest is stuck to his back."

"Oh..." Xiao Zhuzi was dumbfounded. He thought that the sauced elbows that Su Jin hadn't come out at the end of the day were about to smell, so he happily killed them all in one breath, but he didn't expect that the young master would still return. hungry.

"The elbows that Sui'er prepared for us are all gone?" Su Jin asked with a sideways glance at the little pillar.

Xiao Zhuzi said with a mournful face: "When you don't come out to eat, if you put your elbow on this hot day, it will be broken. If your mouth is greedy, it will be completely dry."

Su Jin sighed and said, "If you're hungry on the first day of school, give me some water to fill your stomach."

Xiao Zhuzi frowned and said suddenly: "I have a small one, fortunately I have a well-prepared car and food waiting. I'll take it for you."

After finishing speaking, he jumped out of the car and fiddled with the floral package hanging on the wall of the carriage, took out a few crumpled white baked pancakes and handed them to Su Jin.

"Young master, this cake is delicious. It was brought from Luzhou, and my mother baked it for me before I came out."

Su Jin twisted one and looked at it carefully: "Is it really delicious?"

Xiao Zhuzi burped, exhaled a smell of elbow sauce, pointed at the cake and said, "I'm not kidding you, this is the young master. If you change someone else, even if you spend twenty to buy a small one, you won't give him half a ticket."

Su Jin had no choice but to roll up the crumpled bark-like noodle cake and stuff it into his mouth. After taking a bite, he soon regretted that this is noodle cake. Nai pulled it down with all her strength, but she couldn't pull it down.

Su Jin was gasping for breath, holding back his strength, and slammed down the stirrup with both hands, almost pulling out a few teeth, and then heard the sound of "stab and pull", and the bread cracked Su Jin's head because The habitual 'boom' slammed on the wall of the carriage, and there were stars in his eyes.

Su Jin's tears were about to come down, Xiao Zhuzi was still on the side, stretched his head out of the way and said with a smile: "It tastes good, my lord."

Su Jin stretched out his hand and smacked half of the pancake towards his greasy mouth, spat out the other half of the pancake, and slapped Xiao Zhuzi's head.

"Tell you to taste the bread of the master too, dare to tease me against you."

Xiaozhuzimao yelled aggrievedly, "It's really delicious, it's really delicious."

When the commotion was raging, he suddenly heard someone coughing behind him. Su Jin hurriedly stopped and turned around, only to see Xia Silin standing in front of him holding a large porcelain basin with blue flowers, looking confused.

"Hey, what's wrong with Mr. Xia?" Su Jin asked.

"You two, master and servant, was this just now?"

"Oh, after eating, eating a full stomach and not exercising will make you fat, and you will become bloated and ugly." Su Jin babbled.

Xia Silin groaned and thought, "Treat me for a fool? Obviously you are trying to show off your prestige and beat people down, can't I see it?"However, such things are commonplace and there is nothing to blame, so he handed over the porcelain basin in his hand and said: "I have some cold soup here to quench Brother Su's thirst, and thank you Brother Su for his help."

Su Jin was overjoyed and quickly reached out to take it off the lid of the basin. There was a scent of tangy, ruddy white soup with lotus seeds, green lotus, lotus root slices and other things floating in it. What's more rare is that the tentacles were cold, apparently chilled, so he picked up the spoon and snorted. After eating and drinking for a while, half a pot of soup turned upside down.

The small pillar on one side watched Su Jin put the last spoonful into his mouth, and the sound of the mouth was thumping, but he didn't hear Su Jin say: "You drink the rest." He secretly regretted that he ate his elbow just now. Jing Guang only needs to leave one, let alone one and a half elbows, he rolls his eyes, he is so hungry, he is so hungry that he didn't even take a bite of the cold iced soup.

Su Jin panted and put down the porcelain basin, feeling comfortable all over her body, her stomach was cold and comfortable, her mouth was full of fragrance, she licked her lips and sighed: "It's delicious, brother Xia, good craftsmanship, has this soup been chilled? Where did you get the ice?"

Xia Silin stared at him dumbfounded as he poured half a pot of soup down his stomach. This man didn't look like he said he was full, but like a beggar who hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.

"Yesterday, I saw an ice water shop on the street, so I bought a few yuan. In the morning, my maid, Little Button, made this pot of soup and covered it with a cotton robe to keep the ice melted into water. Fortunately, the soup is still cool. "

"It's not bad, it's a good idea. I'll ask them to buy ice and make soup when I go back at night. It's very nourishing." Su Jin praised.

"It's late... I don't know what to do. Just now, I heard a newcomer say that the college has self-study classes in the evening, and there are teaching assistants to patrol, so what should I do."

Su Jin's brows were wrinkled into a pimple, this is a tricky matter, it's hard to talk about it, I'm afraid it won't make sense, so I have to think of another way.

"Brother Su, is there anything I can do?" What Xia Silin was most concerned about was that if she had to share the academy apartment with others, she would have to give up studying in the academy and go home.

Su Jin thought about it for a while, then smiled and whispered in Xia Silin's ear: "As long as you do what I say, you will be fine."

Xia Silin didn't expect that Su Jin would think of a way so soon, he had no time to take care of his intimate movement of blowing in his ear, and he said energetically, "As long as you don't live in the academy, you can follow Brother Su's orders."
