The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(The third update today and the fourth update please keep it handy. Also: Be careful if there are girls in the book review area.)

With great difficulty, Su Jin got out and got rid of a few stalkers who wanted to follow her. He came to Xia Silin, who was still in a daze, and pulled her away. His stomach was still empty, but don’t even think about staying here at noon today. Have a safe meal.

The two of them came out of the dining hall as if fleeing. Xia Silin was staggered by Su Jin holding his small hand all the way. Seeing that the direction of walking was the direction of the gate of the academy, Xia Silin broke free and asked, "Where is this going?"

Su Jindao: "I remember that there is a small restaurant next to the place where the car is parked when I go out to eat. I can't stay in the dining hall of the academy at the moment, so I can go there to fill my stomach."

Xia Silin smiled and said, "Now you are famous in the academy."

Su Jin frowned and said: "Hey, celebrities have troubles with celebrities. It's a lot of noise if you have to go out for a meal to ensure that you won't be recognized."

Xia Silin giggled and said, "You're so beautiful, you're such a discordant person that there's no cure."

Su Jin pretended to be surprised and said: "You know this, so Brother Xia Xian is the roundworm in my stomach."

Xia Silin said: "What kind of roundworms are disgusting people? Those tricks of yours are obvious to anyone with a heart. Today, Professor Cao will stare at you after suffering from your dark losses."

Su Jin said with a smile: "How do you know that the man surnamed Cao suffered from my secret losses? I think he made a lot of money and gained a good reputation for no reason."

Xia Silin said: "You think you are so clever, there is a man named Wang Anshi who said something in front of me, and it seems that he can see through you completely. I only knew about your ghost ways after he reminded me."

Su Jin was stunned and said: "Wang Anshi? Of course he can guess that this person is a man of excellence but not someone from the pool."

Xia Silin said: "I really didn't expect you two to be sympathetic to each other. Seeing that he respects you very much; it's just that you like making trouble so much. I'm afraid it's not good. After all, we are here to study, why are you surrounded by troubles? When I was almost kicked out of the academy, I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do."

Seeing that her concern was beyond words, Su Jin was moved and said, "I promise you that from today on, I will study hard and the two of us will take an exam together for others to see."

Xia Silin smiled and said: "I don't care if I'm famous or not. I'm just a brother who came to see the world. I'm afraid that he will go home with the heavy responsibility of obtaining fame and fame. Then I wish my brother the best of luck."

Xia Silin deliberately mentioned the theory of conferring a wife and a son, as if to throw stones and ask for directions. The two have been together for a few days, but they have never talked about the family situation. Whether it was deliberately disclosed because of prejudice against the merchant's family.

Seeing her mischievous and warm smile, Su Jin suddenly realized that Xia Silin is a very beautiful woman. Although she wears men's clothing, her brows are curved, her mouth is small, her pink lips are fair, her skin is almost transparent, and she wears men's clothing.

After two glances, my heart skipped a beat and I hurriedly turned around, not daring to look at Xia Silin. Seeing Su Jin staring at his lips in a daze, he thought he remembered the bloody kiss in the carriage, and his face turned red; when he peeked at Su Jin's lips, he saw rice grains on his lips Teeth marks, big and small, a small wound had already been scarred, thinking of the beautiful scene in the morning, my heart beat wildly.

It makes people have their own thoughts and go to the side of the parking lot, and there is a small restaurant. Su Jin did not disturb Xiaozhu Xia Silin, who was sleeping not far away, and tacitly did not disturb his driver. The coachman was beaten up by Fatty in the morning, and now he ate a few balls of glutinous rice and was self-cultivating.

The two entered the restaurant. The small restaurant is not big, but because it is adjacent to the academy, there are quite a few guests. The two-story building actually has a small private room separated by bamboo fences on the second floor. After settling down, he asked softly, "What do you two young masters want to eat?"

Su Jin asked strangely: "Is the shopkeeper afraid of spoiling the elegant atmosphere here? Why do you speak so quietly?"

The shopkeeper smiled lightly and said: "I don't know what the guest officer is. There is a table of big people drinking wine over there, I'm afraid it will disturb them." After speaking, he pouted outward.

Su Jin said oh and stopped asking. Yingtian Academy is originally a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It is closely related to the officialdom and the court. It is not surprising that the small restaurant here meets dignitaries and dignitaries. In addition, the environment of this small restaurant is elegant. The towering green trees and whirling bamboo forest are also an attractive place.

The shopkeeper made an apology and said: "You two, don't blame the little old man for talking too much, order some food quietly, and use a soft voice so as not to disturb others. Although you are a little wronged, you two, give the little old man some thin noodles for the meal. How about a [-]% discount later?"

Su Jin saw that he was kind and skillful in his words, although it was a request, but it sounded very comfortable in his heart, so he also said softly: "For the trouble of saving money, help my two brothers get some light food and wine, so I don't want some rice. That's it."

The shopkeeper raised his finger and said, "Master, if you are open-minded, will you have a light taste when you have a big picture in the future? Let's have a plate of tender and sweet lotus root slices mixed with sugar from Xinshi, and then a plate of boiled fresh shrimp from Dongcheng Lake for dipping." How about a plate of vegetables and a plate of mushroom soup for the two of you?"

Su Jin looked at Xia Silin and said, "What do you think, brother?"

Xia Silin nodded and said, "It's time to work."

The shopkeeper poured tea for the two of them with a pleasant smile and said, "Wait a moment." After saying that, he turned and went downstairs to make arrangements.

The small room suddenly fell silent. The shopkeeper said that the guests at the table over there were also quiet and elegant for some reason. This was the first time that Xia Silin and Su Jin stayed alone in the center of a quiet room. Su Jin's eyes met.

"This poem is really well written. I don't know who wrote it." Su Jin pointed to all the vertical scrolls hanging on the wall.

Hearing the words, Xia Silin looked over and saw a poem written in cursive script on the side wall: Mo Dao's slander is like a deep wave, and Mo Yan's move is like a thousand sands sinking in the sand. .

The banner has neither a signature nor an inscription. A poem without head and brain is hanging there. Seeing Su Jin seems to be touched by it, Xia Silin said softly: "This is the eight lectures of "Lang Taosha" by Liu Mengde in the previous dynasty. It’s about the hard work of the gold diggers in Sichuan to sieve gold from the sand.”

Su Jin turned her head and said, "Liu Mengde? What's this full name?"

Xia Silin said: "Brother Su, isn't it just to amuse me? Don't tell me Liu Yuxi, the great poet of the former dynasty, but you haven't read his masterpieces."

Su Jin is so ashamed that he has never heard of this poem. Although later generations have learned Chinese classical poetry and read a lot, there are so many classic Chinese poems in ancient China. The hard-to-get Xihua is entangled in the book, but I haven't read it well.

"This poem is very thoughtful. It seems to be talking about the gold rush, but it is actually a work of borrowing things to sing about things. I think it is expressing something." Su Jin said.

After listening to his words, Xia Silin turned around and savored carefully and nodded, "Brother Su is not only expressing something, but also feeling very sad and indignant, as if he has been wronged."

Su Jin clapped his hands together and said, "It's the virtuous brother who has good talent and learning. It seems that he must be well-read and well-versed in the present and ancient times. Brother Yu sighs."

Xia Silin said shyly: "Brother Su made fun of the abundance of books at home, but I read them a bit, but it's absurd to be well-read."

Su Jin chuckled and said, "Why should you humble yourself? It's strange that the person who wrote the scroll didn't sign the name or sign it. I don't know if it was written by an expert. This is also an excellent foolish book." I have copied the cursive script of the sage of calligraphy, but it is not the sage of calligraphy."

Xia Silin said: "This is the face of a person with a cloudy face, tendons and willow bones. The vigorousness is the essence of a face."

Su Jin is in awe of Xia Silin. Just by looking at him, he can tell the body, and he can casually say that the characteristics of the body are not those who have worked hard. Whose daughter doesn't love female red embroidery but loves writing and dancing ink?It seems strange that this little rebellion has developed to the point where he wants to join in the trouble in the academy.

Su Jin was about to find out about Xia Silin's details, when he heard someone talking outside: "The two young masters are talking about poetry, I will take the liberty to listen to it, but I want to make friends, but I don't know if we can meet each other?"

Su Jin and Xia Silin were startled when they heard the words, it turned out that the conversation between the two became louder and louder, startling the distinguished guests at the table, Xia Silin looked at Su Jin, obviously wanting Su Jin to make up his mind.

Su Jin thought for a while and said, "My two brothers' random chatter has disturbed you Yaxing, and I'm going to plead guilty. If you don't think I'm bothering you, I'll come to see your lord."

Xia Silin twitched her lips and twisted her hands, as if she didn't want to see the stranger. Su Jin knew that she was disguised as a man and didn't want to get in touch with people, so she squeezed her little hands to comfort her.

The person over there who spoke said with a smile: "Why do you talk so much about it? You two speak elegantly. Let's see each other."

Su Jin smiled and pulled Xia Silin out of the small room. Looking up, he saw a young man in brocade clothes at the end of the aisle in the east, smiling and waiting for the two to drive.

Su Jin saw that the man was quite dignified, his brows were full of vigor, although his stature was not tall, but there was a faint intimidating majesty, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of official this man was, to have such an aura. No matter how short and wretched a person in a high position is, the bearing brought by that kind of power is real.

The two came in front of the man, cupped their hands and saluted Su Jin and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you."

The young man in brocade clothes chuckled and said, "Why are you being so polite, so what if we meet and drink wine together?"

Su Jin nodded and said that someone had opened the curtain a long time ago. Su Jin and Xia Silin entered the compartment and lightly lifted the curtain. There were five or six people sitting tall and short. Sitting upright like a person; Su Jin slightly hesitated and pulled Xia Silin into the room.
