The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(Second more for collection)

There was a lot of excitement outside the car. Two short-dressed servants were grabbing the coachman of the Xia family, punching him, kicking his feet, and beating him up.

Su Jin saw at a glance that Zhu Yanei, who was wearing a red pompom in a hat and a white coat fluttering in white, was dressed up as Zhu Yanei, who was using a folding fan to light the coachman of Xia's family, and said frothyly, "Screw me hard, sir!" You are arguing with Grandpa."

Su Jin shouted loudly: "Stop beating civilians in broad daylight, Mr. Zhu, why are you still not progressing?"

Zhu Tianshun shook his body and raised his head in disbelief. Seeing that the person in front of him was his old enemy, his life-long enemy, Su Jin felt a slight chill in his heart, but his mouth was unforgiving, and he glared and said, "It turns out that it is Su Xiaoguan. When I met you in Luzhou, I didn't expect to meet you when I came to Yingtian Mansion. Are you telling me to stop?"

Su Jin took a mouthful of blood and said, "Didn't I tell you that you were talking to a wild dog on the side of the road? Tell your dog legs to stop quickly, and we'll talk about it after we figure out something."

Seeing Su Jin scolding him as a domineering dog, Zhu Ya'nei couldn't stop shouting: "Beat me hard."

Su Jin saw that he was intensified, reached into the sedan chair and said to Xia Silin, "Brother, bring the big inkstone in my bookcase."

Xia Silin was about to get off the car and didn't know why Su Jin wanted the inkstone. He took out the inkstone and jumped out of the car to hand it to Su Jin. Mr. Ben in the ri lobby once told you to be careful when you see me in the future and don’t bother me again. I didn’t expect you didn’t take it to heart at all; since you are healed and your scars are forgotten, I don’t mind doing it for you again. The magistrate Lao Tzu disciplined you and made you lose all your teeth today."

By the way, when Su Jin was copying the inkstone, Zhu Tian was already feeling bad. At the moment when Su Jin spoke, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were wide open, it was the scene of him being shot with a brick that day, and Zhu Tianshun didn't dare to argue anymore, he raised his legs and walked away.

Su Jin originally pretended to see Zhu Tianshun run away without chasing him, and said sarcastically: "The thief is a bird who bullies the weak and fears the hard. If he is not eager to study today, he will not give up with you."

Zhu Tianshun turned a deaf ear and instantly flashed around the corner without a trace.

Seeing their yamen run away, the two servants grabbed the coachman's collar in a daze, not knowing whether they should continue to beat them. Su Jin rushed forward, one by one, and kicked the two of them all the way away, saying, "Get out of your mother's bastard!" Why don't you learn, but learn to work for the tiger and go back and tell you that the matter in the Yamen is endless."

The two young men clutched their chests and couldn't breathe for a long time. They cried out in their hearts that it was unlucky. They came here early this morning to deliver some clothes and money to Mr. Ya Nei. They didn't expect that Mr. Ya Nei was walking sideways. How could they refuse, so they had to do it, but they didn't expect to meet Su Jin, who beat up his coachman today, and it made a big deal.

The two knew Su Jin when they were in Luzhou. What Su Jin did in Luzhou is familiar to the whole city. Everyone knows that this man is very courageous and likes to shoot people with bricks; Even Ya Nei was not spared. The two heroes did not suffer from the loss in front of them. With Su Jin's kick, they got up and slipped away without looking back.

Su Jin cursed a few words and pulled the moaning coachman up. The coachman had a bruised nose, a swollen face, and footprints all over his clothes. This fat beating was really hard.

Before Xia Silin was in shock, he hurriedly asked the coachman about his injuries. The coachman got up and leaned against the shaft to rest for a while, and said, "Don't worry, young master, you are still strong, but you can survive these few blows. I'm afraid those two boys will have swollen fists when they go home." A few days."

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said in his heart: If I knew you were so stubborn, I should have watched with cold eyes and made you suffer.

Xia Silin said: "It's fine if you have nothing to do, next time you drive carefully, you will drive the car to the field to have a rest, Mr. Su and I also need to walk, and no cars or horses are allowed in front."

The coachman grunted and climbed up the carriage shaft, Su Jin sucked his bleeding lips while lifting two bookcases out of the carriage. Seeing that it was getting late, the two hurried inside.

Approaching the gate of the academy, Xia Silin stopped Su Jin, stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of Su Jin's mouth with a handkerchief, and helped Su Jin tidy up his clothes, then took the bookcase from Su Jin's hand with a blushing face Go through the door first.

Su Jin was in a daze just now when Xia Silin wiped the blood for him, Su Jin suddenly remembered the scene of Yan Biyun helping him bandage his wound in Luzhou The meaning of love and compassion directly makes people's hearts slightly turbulent.

Two academy servants pushed the academy and closed it creakingly. Then Su Jin woke up and waved his hands: "Don't...wait for me to enter."

The two handymen stopped their hands and waited for Su Jin to rush in. Then they closed the door and muttered: "Stand outside for a long time without moving, who would have known that you came in to study and thought you were a beggar."

Su Jin had no time to take care of the murmurs of the two of them. He reached out and took out a string of money from his pocket, threw it on the ground and said non-stop: "Take these dozens of people to drink tea and take care of them later."

The two handymen were overjoyed and hurriedly picked up the copper coins in the dust. They didn't expect to be able to get some oil and water in this poor place of the academy. It was the first time that the words in their mouths changed immediately.

"No matter how you look at it, this young man is the material of the imperial examination high school in the future. The way he runs is like a dragon walking like a tiger."

"Just standing outside the academy just now with the attitude of an official must be really thinking about poetry problems."

"It must be so engrossed and focused on she Qiguang must be thinking about the truth in the world, which is really admirable."

Amidst the compliments of the two, Su Jin had already gone far away. Seeing that there was no one in the academy, he felt cold for a while, and he was afraid that he was late. He wondered if the academy had any punishment measures for late students.

But at this time, it was a done deal and there was nothing to do, so Sa Yazi quickly ran towards Minglun Hall where the book hall was located.

……

……

In a mansion in Tianshuijing Hutong outside the Lijing Gate of Bianliang City, Yan Shu, the envoy of the Third Secretary of the Song Dynasty, is meeting with several travel-worn travelers in the main hall.

The main hall of the Yan Mansion is elegantly and grandly arranged. Yan Shu, E Guanbo, sits on a big chair at the head, while sitting on the opposite side are three soldiers in armor. The three of them have dust-colored armor and loess piled up in the hall, which looks dirty. The grandeur is extremely disproportionate.

One of the three has a handsome face, thick eyebrows and big eyes; under the armor, a pair of black eyes are shining This person has been sentenced to prison.

Yan Shu was looking at a letter with his beard frowned, frowning into a knot for a while, he put the letter down and said to the thorny man, "Commander Di, how is Deputy Envoy Fan?"

The thorn man said: "The body is still good, but the gray hair has increased."

"The war at the border is not only unfavorable. Fan Gong's white hair will increase. I'm afraid the emperor's face will also be more sad." Yan Shu sighed.

"The last general is waiting for the incompetent instructor to worry about it." Commander Di said sadly with a guilty face.

Yan Shu said: "Commander Di is well-known among the fierce generals under Lord Fan. I have also heard that in the capital, why should I blame myself for the blood and sweat of killing the enemy for the country? The defeat this time is not due to the general, but to Master Shuai Han and Lord Xia. The decision was wrong."

Commander Di said with a sad face: "My lord, I want to know that on that day Han Shuai received the report of the Xixia army's invasion of Weizhou. Immediately sent general Ren Fu to lead the army to attack. At first, the Xixia army was frustrated and retreated. Ren Fu ordered to chase after him. At the foot of Liupan Mountain in the Xixia territory, they were ambushed and besieged at the mouth of Haoshui River. Sixteen generals including Ren Fu died in battle. More than [-] soldiers were killed. They encountered thousands of family members of the deceased on the way. They cried out the names of their loved ones and prayed for the souls of the dead. I was able to come back with Han Shuai. Han Shuai also stood in the horse to hide his tears and regret. But it was not Han Shuai who ordered the pursuit at the beginning, but Master Xia. Master Xia is the official position. Master Han and Master Fan are both deputies. It is helpless to think about it."

Yan Shu frowned and said, "The imperial court originally wanted Han and Fan to be in charge of the military affairs in Yanzhou, and Master Xia was only in charge of logistics. Why did he come up with such absurd ideas?"

Commander Di clasped his hands and said, "Di Qing dare not say anything about the matter between adults, but at the end of the day, he thinks that the defeat in this war may not be a good thing. This time, he was appointed by Lord Fan to come to Beijing to come to the capital to help Lord Yan to speak more about the Northwest War in the imperial court. Song The main force of the army is infantry, but the main force of the cavalry is not inferior to our army, and the main force of the army is not inferior to our army. Lord Fan wants to adopt a strategy of active defense, while Lord Xia's strategy of attacking proactively has been proven to be a failure."

Yan Shu nodded and said, "Your Master Fan is right. It is an unwise move for cavalry to fight against Xixia soldiers who are good at cavalry. Needless to say, I have to persuade the emperor to adopt Fan Gong's strategy and command. Don't worry."

Di Qing stood up and bowed to the ground, and the two guards beside him also stood up and bowed to Di Qing, saying: "Thank you, my lord, the responsibility of the last general has been completed, so I will take my leave."

Yan Shu was stunned and said, "Why are you so eager? It's not too late to leave after lunch."

Di Qing said: "The military situation in Yanzhou is like fire. The general can't stay for long. Master Fan is still waiting for the general's reply. The general wants to lead him to drive out the western thieves and come to bother you."

Yan Shu nodded and said, "Also be careful to greet Lord Fan and Lord Han for me along the way."

Di Qing said: "The general will take his leave as ordered."

After finishing speaking, the three of them left the hall, and a servant brought over the horse that had been fed with fine food, and put a leather pouch filled with dry food and water on the horse's back. gallop away.
