The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Su Jin walked towards the field, Zhang Yejin took a few steps to stand shoulder to shoulder with Su Jin and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Su Academy set up a lottery, how about we also set up a lottery?"

Su Jin said: "What lottery? Gambling?"

Zhang Ye laughed loudly and said, "What's the point of gambling? I don't feel bad if I lose. I don't feel happy if I win. It's still a bit attractive to you, but not to our 'Red Horse' Cuju team."

Su Jin said: "Brother Zhang regards money like floating clouds, he is a gentleman; but I can't think of any good things except money. I think Brother Zhang has long been concerned about it, so let's talk about it."

Zhang Ye looked at Su Jin and said, "I told you, Brother Su, don't be angry. This Cuju play was originally a pastime game in your spare time. In Bianliang City, the Song and other prefectures are popular, but they are all people with real status. The ordinary people are busy with making a living and caring about their daily lives. They don’t have time to play cuju, so it’s not a proper job. My father once suggested to the emperor that folk cuju should be banned like Guanpu Reasonable."

Su Jin was inexplicable, what did this guy want to express by rambling?Show off your family background?Your father can talk to the emperor and meddle in my affairs, feeling a little unhappy, so he said: "The emperor must have ignored your father, the emperor is a benevolent lord, such proposals are really ridiculous."

Zhang Ye said angrily: "How ridiculous? My father's suggestion to ban folk cuju is really for the sake of the people of the country and the people. How can the people live a prosperous life when they waste their time playing and playing? Wouldn't it be beneficial to both the country and the people if the time was banned for farming? Is it beneficial?"

Su Jin couldn't help laughing. I don't know how this absurd proposal came up. At the moment, he said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't make the father and son really talented. The younger brother is willing to bow down; after you say that, I have a suggestion for your lord." Played in the emperor."

Zhang Yedao: "Speak."

Su Jindao: "My lord played the emperor's gift of a cork to every household, which is of great benefit to the country and the people."

Zhang Ye asked in surprise, "What's the use of the cork?"

"Wouldn't it be of great benefit to the country and the people to use the cork to reduce the five or six times a day to go to the toilet with this cork to the hole of reincarnation of the grains of the people in the world, and the time saved can be used for business and labor?" Su Jin smiled.

"You fucking are here to amuse my young master. How dare a pariah laugh at the court's memorial." Zhang Ye cursed.

Su Jin looked at him with a sneer and said, "If you utter foul language again, I don't mind making your head hurt immediately. If you don't know what I can do, ask Zhu Tianshun how he was raped by him in Luzhou Mansion." The face is full of peach blossoms."

The matter of Zhu Tianshun, Zhang Ye and other friends who are tired of being together every day are naturally well aware of the fact that this competition is partly for Zhu Tianshun to vent his anger, and the other part is to maintain that he will be humiliated by Su Jin several times, so he has to be attacked.

Once Su Jin commits a crime, Zhang Ye is not willing to provoke too much; it's not that he is afraid of Su Jin's methods. Zhang Ye is tall and burly. Although Su Jin is not short in stature, he looks very thin. Fighting alone, Zhang Ye is confident that he can take Su Jin. ; It's just that playing the martial arts with him in such a large crowd, Su Jin, a grassroots man, naturally has nothing to do with himself, but how can the dignified Shangshu lose face like this.

Zhang Ye restrained his anger and said: "It's useless to talk more than speculative words. If you lose, you will not be allowed to play Cuju in the academy from now on. If you see me, you need to salute and let others forget it. That's just these two points. Do you dare to continue?"

Su Jin smiled and said, "Master Zhang is so confident, what if you lose?"

Zhang Yedao: "How could we lose?"

Su Jin said: "Your IQ is almost as good as your father's, and you are indeed a father and son."

Zhang Yedao: "Why are you talking about my father again? This is a matter between you and my team."

Su Jin can no longer communicate with him. This guy is so conceited that his IQ will not exceed [-]. There is nothing to talk to him. He said immediately: "If you lose, you have to deal with it like this. In the future, if you see me, you need to salute and retreat. You are not allowed to play in the future. Cuju is not even allowed to look."

Zhang Ye laughed loudly and said, "How could we lose? We won't lose as beautiful as you think."

Su Jin imitated his appearance and looked up to the sky and laughed a few times: "There is nothing impossible in this world, only you can't think of it, but no one can't do it. If you agree, let's immediately compete. It doesn't matter if we don't agree. Anyway, we don't care. Even if we can get your salute and avoidance." I don't grow half a catty of meat either."

Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Let's talk about it first, and you won't be able to cry later, just like what you said, but if you want us to lose, you are daydreaming."

As they walked, the two said that they had arrived on the field at this moment. If you are too human, you must hit them hard this time."

Some also expressed worry and blamed Su Jin, saying: "Qiutou, how can you promise that we can stay in this academy if we lose?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone rolled their eyes and Wu Hengxin exclaimed: "What is this called? Isn't the ball head also for my face? How can you talk like that."

The man protested: "It's just that the odds of winning are less than [-]%. It's not like you don't know their Cuju skills."

Su Jin looked at the man and said: "This brother may fail in everything. If you say that an egg and a stone collide, the egg will break, but Cuju is different. Even if it is as you said, we still have a [-]% chance of winning, isn't that enough? Are you confident that you will pass the exam when you come to the academy?"

The man faltered and said: "How dare you talk about being sure to win the election."

Su Jin said: "Then why are you here to study? Since you are not [-]% sure, you might as well go home and help your parents take care of the farmland for peace of mind; why bother to take this opportunity?"

The man left speechless without saying a word; Wei Songhe said: "The Cuju competition is coming up, where are you going?"

The man said without looking back: "I'm quitting, I don't want to see others salute and bow to make way every day. You can go if you want."

Qian Songhe was about to speak, Su Jin stopped him and said, "There is no need to force it if we don't agree with each other."

Qian Songhe said: "Then what should we do? We have lost one person."

Su Jin said: "Call one more person, although those few Cuju skills are average, they are better than nothing."

Qian Songhe nodded and said, "That's all."

The situation of the unnamed team fell into everyone's eyes. Seeing that Cuju is about to come, some people quit before the battle, some worried, some were happy, and some gloated and laughed.

Su Jin, however, had no time to turn around and walk towards the other substitutes, trying to find a substitute, but seeing that one was outnumbered, he yelled, "Why don't you let Su Qiutou go to the end of such an important game. "

Su Jin was stunned when he saw that the man was Wang Anshi. Su Jin wondered why Wang Anshi was from the Second Hall, so he should stand with Zhang Ye and the others.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Wang Anshi, who was familiar with himself, warmly greeted the people on Su Jin's side, while taking off his long robe, revealing a black short jacket and black silk trousers, which was exactly a Cuju outfit.

At this point, Su Jin has no time to think about the other side. Cao Min has already come to the field with a bamboo flute in his mouth to be the referee. Seeing the sound of the flute, the competition is about to start. Su Jin waved: "Take off your long shirt and prepare for the competition."

The teams on both sides took off their gowns one after another, and when they took off, there was a burst of laughter; the red horse team's satin red waistcoat and red silk trousers were still tied with red ribbons on their heads, looking energetic and coquettish; looking at Su Jin's gown is stripped and there is nothing to wear inside.

There is a man who is still wearing open pants for going to bed late. Fortunately, this person cleverly sealed the crotch with twine to avoid the risk of exposure; but the crooked stitches are really eye-catching, as if there is a big centipede lying on the crotch. laugh.

Look at the colors black, white, blue, blue, green, etc. There is a motley mob.

The members of the Red Horse team folded their waists and smiled, leaning forward and back to surround the audience. The audience was also laughing non-stop. Even some of the husband's family members covered their small mouths with silk scarves, trembling with laughter. From time to time, they peeked at the big centipede in their crotch, blushing and undulating as if changing color Like a dragon.

For Su Jin's entire team, Su Jin and Wang Anshi dressed more formally, but they also had different colors, one white and one black.

"Don't worry about other people laughing and winning anything; the rooster with colorful feathers and red crowns can only make the sound of oh-oh-oh-ohh, but the starling can speak eloquently." Wang Anshi said loudly.

Su Jin cheered and said, "Brother Wang is very eloquent."

Wang Anshi laughed and said, "To each other."

Before the words were over, Cao Min shouted loudly: "The two teams are ready, now it's time to start. Be careful, no hugging, wrestling, fisting, slapping, knees, elbows, verbal abuse, violators will be sent off the court; do you understand?"

More than [-] students got up and shouted: "Understood."

Cao Min said loudly: "Okay, I'm a good boy from the academy, let's play around to your heart's content."

With the sound of the flute, Cao Min threw the cowhide ball high into the air, and more than [-] people flocked to grab the spot. The competition officially began.
