The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Before the carriage drove to Nancheng and got off, Su Jin proposed that he would go to the official post to meet Lord Yan Shu, but Yan Biyun said, "Tonight, Uncle must be invited by the local officials of Tianfu to have a banquet. Uncle is a good couple, and I am afraid that I will return home drunk tonight." It's not very convenient; you will come to see him early in the morning when you ask for leave for half a day tomorrow, and he will be returning to the capital at noon, so you should go earlier."

Su Jin said, "Are you going or not?"

Yan Biyun looked at Su Jin, sighed and said softly: "How can you leave this slave house, your enemy? Originally, Yingtianfu's property also has some affairs to take care of gone."

Su Jin was so excited that he wanted to kiss Yan Biyun and nudged Yan Biyun, pointing to Xiao Xianer and the coachman who were sitting on the shaft of the car, whispering in Su Jin's ear: "Don't let the slave family not be able to see people, okay? The slave family has already gone wild today. It shouldn't be."

Su Jin knows that Yan Biyun is not a woman who can easily give in. The meeting today and the lovesickness has caused her to do a lot of unusual behaviors. Even if she treats her lightly, it will cause disrespect for her.

So silently squeezed her little hands, got out of the carriage and headed towards her courtyard, Yan Biyun waited for Su Jin's back to disappear at the corner of the alley in the twilight, and then ordered the carriage to go straight to Dongcheng and Fenglou.

……

Su Jin's heart is at ease. For more than 20 days, the lumps in her heart have been swept away. She only feels that the air she breathes into her lungs is fragrant and delicious. Su Jin, who was pretentious because of her time-traveling identity, suddenly felt that she was actually An ordinary person, a person who would be dizzy because of a love, although there is nothing wrong with this, but this kind of personality that cares too much about emotions may not be able to gain a foothold in this era.

People who can be successful in this era often have the following characteristics: The first category is to be determined and determined, to serve the country and the people wholeheartedly, such as Bao Zheng and Fan Zhongyan, who are most needed by the court and loved by the people. That's why it can stand upright.

The second category is black-bellied and unscrupulous people, such as Zhu Shiyong or the murderous Xia Song in Yan Biyun's mouth, who can effectively clear up the factors that threaten them one by one to ensure their own safety.

The third category is those who are talented, but never rely on their talents. On the contrary, they can use both sides. For example, Yan Shu, as the third envoy, has great power and can lead the altar. He recommended Bao Zheng, Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan and other talents to weave a network and accumulate prestige. It is enough to ensure that you will not be harmed by any aspect, and at the same time, you can reflect on yourself in time to keep pace with the times and always stand at the top.

These three types of people are the group of people who are now the only ones in the Song Dynasty, and there are many other famous people, but they are always unsatisfactory due to lack of characteristics; the most typical one is the songwriter who sang the Song Dynasty Liu Sanbian, who is well-known by everyone but poor enough to be supported by prostitutes, has changed.

In Su Jin's view, the surprise of character is the key to the different fates of these people. There is a saying in later generations: It is indeed very reasonable that character determines fate; but it is a different matter if it is controlled properly. Emotions are exposed while Yan Shu is restrained and obscure, which can be seen in the lyrics of the two, which leads to a sharp contrast in life situations.

Su Jin doesn't know what kind of person he belongs to. After coming here, his sense of loss has not disappeared. He often falls into confusion. In order to increase his sense of existence, Su Jin will unconsciously fall into all kinds of incredible struggles; just like an adolescent boy Girls are usually rebellious and funny in order to attract people's attention in order to dilute their inner confusion.

Su Jin feels similar to this. He is like a rebellious child who constantly provokes small disputes to express his incompatibility with this era and his lost sense of existence. The performance reflected by his sense of existence is to make people jump out of uneasiness and act unexpectedly. The feeling of not playing cards according to common sense.

Standing in the small courtyard surrounded by twilight, Su Jin suddenly reflected on himself like a clay sculpture and wood carving, which made him feel scared; he suddenly found that his heart was weak and naive, no wonder Lu Tixue, Bao Zheng, Yan Shu He waited for others to implicitly say that he was not self-cultivating enough; taking Yan Biyun and his own affairs as an example, his performance was as naive as a child and even a little unreasonable; He brought Da Song.

"I examine myself three times during my day." The saint's words automatically popped up in my mind for the first time. Before, I forced myself to have no real understanding. At this moment, Su Jin suddenly understood the essence of this sentence like a new student.

Self-reflection is the first step to maturity. The Great Song Dynasty is a paradise, not a pure land. At best, I am just a future generation with thousands of years of wisdom. The wisdom that ordinary people possess is often not used here, and even brings disaster. It became a stumbling block for him to live in the Song Dynasty. Su Jin suddenly understood a truth like a revelation: he must abandon this sense of superiority of time travel and become a pure Song Dynasty person. He must live and think as a Song Dynasty person, supplemented by Only the filtered knowledge of future generations can truly live out the splendor.

Su Jin stood obsessively in his courtyard. He didn't know why he suddenly seemed to have opened his eyes. Could it be that he and Yan Biyun rebuilt the old one today so that his state of mind can return to its natural state, so that he can reflect on his behavior so deeply?

"Yan Biyun is my noble person. Such a woman with outstanding intelligence and beauty can fall in love with me wrongly. I don't know if I am opened or blind." Su Jin thought a little self-deprecating.

"Who are you? Why are you standing here without moving? I've been staring at you for a long time and want to step on the plate?" A thick voice rang in my ears, followed by the pain that pierced Su Jin's shoulders Let Su Jin stop criticizing and self-criticizing and turn around to see Zhao Hu's iron tower-like body lying in front of him.

"Ah, it turns out that the son's face is dark. I didn't see it clearly. It's offending." Zhao Hu said with his mouth open.

"Let go of your hand, it hurts me to death. You were catching a thief." Su Jin frowned.

"Don't say that I really think of you as a thief who stomps on plates." Zhao Hu hurriedly let go of his hands and scratched his head.

"Does the master look so thieves?" Su Jin was a little depressed thinking that life would be regarded as a thief to catch people in the Song Dynasty. What happened?However, the vigilance awareness of these boys is quite high. It seems that they are divided into classes and patrolling inside and outside the courtyard without slack.

"Wouldn't it be a villain if you stood motionless in the shadow under this tree?" Zhao Hu was still full of grievances.

Su Jin rolled his eyes and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're busy, I haven't eaten yet after I went in."

Zhao Hu nodded, bowed his head, and looked around with his eyes wide open. Su Jin walked up the steps to his own room in the west. As soon as he entered, he heard Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang chatting inside. He wanted to open the door and go in, but he was obedient. The content stopped and listened carefully.

"Sister Huanniang, you noticed that there was something wrong with Mr. Xia's face when he came back today."

"Well, it's a bit." Huanniang's voice was vague.

"Did you see it too? I came to send a message saying that the young master has an appointment today, and I'm afraid he won't come for dinner. It sounds strange that she is not right."

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that you've cried a lot. Didn't you see the tear stains around the corners of her eyes?" Huanniang made a tinkling noise as she didn't know what she was busy with.

"Don't be so busy, my pajamas have several sets, why do you still need to sew. Talk to me."

"Isn't that what you're talking about? I heard that my grandfather said that day that he likes to wear cotton pajamas and doesn't like wearing slippery brocade pajamas. How about sewing a good book for him that he can't sleep well at night?"

"I can't sleep well, sister Huanniang, can you coax him well? Anyway, you guys also..."

"Don't talk about it, you little brat who likes to eavesdrop, so my sister, I won't talk to you for three days so I can suffocate you to death."

Xiao Sui'er giggled and said: "My good sister is still shy but we still talk about Mr. Xia, why do you think she is crying?"

Huanniang said: "How do I know it's not the roundworm in her stomach."

Xiao Sui'er sighed quietly: "Teach me, it must be related to our young master."

Huanniang spat: "You little girl likes to chew your tongue, how do you know that Mr. Xia and our master are just classmates and friends, how can you cry because of him?"

Xiao Sui'er said softly: "Sister, do you really don't know or don't you know? Didn't you see the way Miss Xia looked at you? A strange thing."

Huanniang said: "What kind of strange thing is it? I think you are strange."

Xiao Sui'er said: "It's fine if you don't admit it. Anyway, I feel very unusual. Do you think Miss Xia likes our master? Master is so lucky. Why do women all over the world like him?"

Huanniang was speechless and said to Xiao Sui'er, "Master must have hurt her, otherwise why would he be crying?"

Huanniang said softly: "Don't say it, it's not good to make people listen to it. Why haven't you come back so late and didn't bring a car to drive back. Don't you be exhausted?"

Xiao Sui'er said: "Don't worry about it, Mr. Yan will definitely send a car to take him back when he sees the young master. I really want to know who is sitting in the car that is exactly the same as Yan Dong's today. Will the young master meet him?" Where is Miss Yan? Mr. Xia said that someone is dating Mr. Young Master, could it be Ms. Yan? "

"Do you think you are Mr. Bao who decides the case? Why are there so many?" Huanniang said angrily.

"It would be better if I were Mrs. Bao." Xiao Sui'er said in a rough voice: "Huanniang, the minnv, tell me quickly what did you and Mr. Su Xiaoguan do in the bedroom that day?"

Huanniang yelled, followed by a burst of laughter, apparently Huanniang was ashamed and chased Xiao Sui'er to beat her.

Su Jin was a little embarrassed, Huanniang said that Xia Silin cried, was it really because of me?Su Jin carefully recalled the details of getting along with Xia Silin, but she didn't feel that there was anything weird about Xia Silin, but she made fun of her from time to time, but her words were nothing out of the ordinary, and she cried. Why?
