The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang, both at home and abroad, have long been looking forward to the house in the south city of Yingtian Mansion. Once Su Jin enters the academy, it takes a day. Xiao Sui'er, who is used to wandering around Su Jin, can't adapt to the day in her opinion. Time seems to be as long as a year.

Fortunately, Huanniang has only a subtle affection for Su Jin. Although her sister told her that she would do her best to take good care of Su Jin and even make some unreasonable demands, Huanniang's character is calm and shy. Even if there was a strange feeling in it, she would never show it in her expression; so when Xiao Sui'er was in a hurry to go outside the courtyard to wait for Su Jin's return, she just smiled and took a white brocade handkerchief and twisted it Thin needles are embroidering something at the corner of the brocade handkerchief.

"Damn Xiao Zhuzi drove the car so slowly, it's already past time for school, why haven't you come yet?" Xiao Sui'er sat on the high stool at the gate of the yard, swinging her little feet and her mouth was bulging.

Huanniang laughed dumbfounded, lowered her head and picked up a colored thread and said softly, "Sister Sui'er, it's no wonder that Xiao Zhuzi is not the one who pulls the cart, what can he do if the green mule doesn't leave?"

"It's just that the young master doesn't know what's wrong. Dong Yan's family gave him a big horse and he actually returned it, otherwise the big horse-drawn carriage must be much faster." Xiao Sui'er stared outside and said.

"Hey..." Huanniang sighed without making a sound.

Xiao Sui'er got excited and leaned into Huanniang's ear and said, "Sister Huanniang, do you think the young master has fallen out with that Yan Dong's family? Don't Ma'er even disappear the big three-yuan jade pendant that is always with you?" ri When we set off, all the acquaintances of the young master in Luzhou city came to practice, but this Dong Yan’s family didn’t even have a shadow, my young master treated her so well.”

Huanniang glanced at Xiao Sui'er and said with a smile: "Sister Sui'er has always had a bad impression of that Miss Yan? I remember you wouldn't be happy if the young master treats her a little better."

Xiao Sui'er blushed and said shyly: "Why is there such a thing, sister Huanniang, why is her mouth so ruthless? I'm just thinking of the young master. Dong Yan's family is over [-] years old and is a widow. Our young master What are the identities of these two people, can they succeed together? I don't have to bring the reputation of the young master, I have no other intentions, it's just for the good of the young master."

Huanniang said faintly: "What you said is also reasonable. Being a singer like me and my sister is actually not good for the son's reputation."

Xiao Sui'er hurriedly said: "Sister, don't mind what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about you and sister Rou Niang. Didn't you say anything?"

Huanniang's face turned red. She had known about Rouniang and Su Jin for a long time. The two had been lingering in the study several times. Huanniang had tossed and turned in the bedroom next door, making strange gasps and moans of pain and joy. The sound makes Huanniang often bite the corner of the quilt and suffer from insomnia. There is a feeling of fear and anticipation in her heart, watching her sister become more and more plump and beautiful, and her gestures become more and more charming. Even more beautiful. There have been several charming spring dreams. Without exception, the male lead is Mr. Su. After waking up, he is both sweet and lost.

Xiao Sui'er's words aroused her thoughts, Huanniang stopped her needle and fell into deep thought.

"Sister Huanniang, do you think the young master is unhappy recently? I always feel that since I left Luzhou mansion, the young master has been a little bored when he is alone."

Huanniang was brought back to reality by Xiao Sui'er's words, she put down her work and said, "You can see it too? But I don't think he is unhappy when he left Luzhou. Do you remember what happened the night before we left? ?”

"Sister, are you talking about the son's passing out?"

"Yeah, when we found out, there were scraps of paper all over the place, as if the young master had torn up a letter, and later on, the big three-yuan jade pendant that Miss Yan gave back to the horse body was gone, and I think it was also returned to me. Ms. Yan, my sister and I guessed that the letter should be Miss Yan's letter, but I don't know what I said that irritated my son, so..."

Xiao Sui'er's willow eyebrows were upside down, her face was flushed, and she cursed: "This vicious woman actually caused the young master to faint, sister, why didn't you tell me at that time, otherwise I would have to make trouble with Feng Lou to question that cruel woman face to face. It's not a good person to have that little Xianer!"

Huanniang smiled and said, "Isn't this just fulfilling your wish? Don't you see Miss Yan getting tired of being with the young master? Why are you acting like this?"

Xiao Sui'er said: "I don't see them getting tired of being together. I don't have the right to think about the reputation of the young master, but how dare this woman make the young master angry? My young master treats her so well."

Huanniang picked up her needle and thread and concentrated on embroidery, and said softly, "Miss Yan is also very good to the young master, but it's a pity that this is a bad relationship that will not come to fruition in the end."

Xiao Sui'er wanted to refute, but when she thought of how Yan Biyun was busy spending a lot of money when Su Jinzheng was imprisoned, she didn't look like a hypocritical person, and she was speechless for a while.

The sound of hooves clattering and the car stopping sounded outside. Xiao Sui'er quickly jumped off the stool and went to the door to meet Huan Niang, who also put down her work and looked towards the door, but they were soon disappointed. .

Xiao Sui'er rolled her eyes, turned around, and walked away. Huanniang smiled at Xia Silin; Xia Silin saw Su Jin's two maids feeling sour for no reason, and remembered that he was a man and couldn't lose his grace, so he clasped his fists and saluted.

"Has my son come back from school?" Huanniang asked with a picture.

"Oh, brother Su met an acquaintance from Luzhou, and the two of them were in the same car, so I sent a letter to the two young ladies asking the cook to cook more side dishes, so the guests will have dinner here tonight."

"Thank you Mr. Xia for sending the letter." Huanniang said again and again.

"There's no need to be overly modest, but tonight your young master is probably busy. Sir, you have to copy your homework five hundred times, and you need to be ready for the supper that you stay up late." Xia Silin said teasingly.

"Ah!" Xiao Sui'er's boss, who opened his mouth, was punished on the first day, son, what's wrong?

"Oh, by the way, do you have any safflower oil? I think his hand is a little swollen from dozens of feet and needs to be rubbed to reduce the swelling." Xia Silin was obviously gloating and looked at the two young ladies. Looking panicked, Xia Silin felt relieved for a while.

Both Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang were dumbfounded. It was only the first day of school, and they came back with scars. Such a bad situation must have made the young master's mood even worse. The two suddenly became worried.

Su Jin's laughter came from outside the courtyard. Su Jin walked in across the threshold with his gown in his hand and said, "Young Master Xia said, prepare some spirits to wipe my mouth. I was bitten by a little wild cat this morning." If I take a sip, I'm afraid I'll get cat poison and apply some white wine to disinfect it."

Xia Silin didn't expect Su Jin to arrive behind him. When he heard that Su Jin joked about the close contact between the two in the morning, he blushed and retreated in defeat, lest the two little ladies ask Su Jin's open mouth and make him feel embarrassed.

Behind Su Jin was a short blue-clothed scholar who presumably was the acquaintance from Luzhou whom he met. Master Lu’s student Wei Songhe, Mr. Wei, is really destined to have a drink with me tonight in a foreign country in the same school.”

Wei Songhe greeted the two girls in front of him and hurriedly returned the gift, arranged tea for the two of them to sit down and drink tea. Wei Songhe saw that Su Jin lived in such a comfortable place, with beautiful maids, beautiful servants and burly servants. .

"Brother Wei, drinking tea, what are you doing in a daze?" Su Jin greeted courteously.

"Brother Su, you really enjoy it. I didn't expect you to be a rich man. With such a luxurious and comfortable residence, it's no wonder you don't live in the academy. If I do everything possible, I won't live in the academy."

Su Jin was stunned and said, "How do you know that I tried everything possible to not live in the academy?"

Wei Songhe said with a chuckle: "Brother Su's acting skills are superb, but he may not be able to deceive everyone, but he is always careful and prepared, and if there is no flaw, he will be flawed everywhere; Brother Su's good acting has deceived hundreds of people, and I only think about it later. It’s really admirable to feel something wrong, hahaha.”

Su Jin blushed and understood that there were many smart people in the Song Dynasty, and he had to be more careful in his work in the future. If he treated the ancients as fools, he would be a real bastard.
