The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(Thank you An Tantan for your generous reward. Today, there are three updates, and one update is dedicated to you.)

With tears in his eyes, Yan Biyun looked at Su Jin affectionately. Su Jin's resentment dissipated, and he could think of it with his knees. This must be the idea of ​​old Yan Shu. His acting skills are quite good, and he actually turned Su Jin around. At first, he suspected that he was testing himself, but later he believed it was true.

"Su Jin, don't blame me for being meddlesome. I just want to see if you are sincere to Biyun. If you are a hypocrite, when I promise you that you will be promoted and make a fortune, you will definitely agree. It really surprised me that you were unmoved, you have a good character, a firm will, and you can’t be slutty when you are rich, so this old man is very pleased."

Su Jin scolded in her heart: "Consolation to your sister, if it weren't for my stubborn temper, I would definitely agree to such a good condition, but you old man doesn't know my temperament is not submissive, and you just play rough with me, if you Tell me well, maybe I will agree as soon as my brain gets hot."

At the same time, Su Jin also sweated secretly. If he let go just now, the glory and wealth are of course an empty talk, and Yan Biyun, who is hiding next door and listening, will definitely leave him. It is really dangerous.

Yan Shu's move is extremely detrimental. On the one hand, it is a bright future, and on the other hand, it is a dark day. The choice of a normal person is self-evident. It's just that he hit Su Jin against the scales, which made Su Jin stand up against him. .

"It turns out that I am really a person with a strong will and a good character. It's a pity that I have always underestimated myself and regarded myself as worthless. It turns out that I am a treasure." Surprised, Su Jin thought a little proudly.

"My lord, you are doubting my character, Su Jin, by doing this. I am very angry, very angry." Su Jin pouts.

At this time, if you don't take the opportunity to reap some benefits and negotiate some conditions, then you won't be Su Jin anymore.

"Sir, please calm down. This is the idea of ​​the slave family. It has nothing to do with uncle. The slave family... the slave family is willing to be punished by the master." Yan Biyun lowered his head softly.

Su Jin rolled his eyes and thought to himself: It's clearly this old man's idea, but you take care of everything, how can I punish you, should I punish you for washing my clothes and cooking for me?

Yan Shu laughed and said: "One person does things and one person does it. The girl doesn't have to speak for me. The old man has done a lot of things that offend others. This time I offended Su Xiaoguan, I expected it."

Su Jin threw him a sanitary fairway: "Your Excellency is straightforward, but what you said before has hurt my pure heart, and I am still in a state of chaos. What should I do?"

Yan Biyun chuckled, it was Su Jin from Luzhou who liked to gain the upper hand and take advantage, and he started haggling with the third envoy of the Song Dynasty.

Yan Shu also found it amusing, and said with a smile, "Isn't it the best compensation to get the old man's approval?"

Su Jindao: "It's meaningless to talk in vain, I only want to make one request, and the adults must agree, so that I can feel at ease."

Yan Shu said playfully, "Tell me about it."

Su Jin said solemnly: "It's really wrong to say that I gave you an order, but today I'm going to give you an order to complete within a time limit."

Yan Biyun called out delicately: "Su Jin, don't be rude."

Su Jin stretched out her hand to signal her to shut up, and continued: "I want my lord to accept the blank engagement that bound Biyun within a year, and I don't want to have a sneaky relationship with Sister Yan like a thief, and I don't want to Waiting ten or twenty years in vain, I can wait, but Ms. Yan can't wait, time makes people old, youth is fleeting, a 20-year-old woman can't wait."

Yan Biyun was excited when he heard it, and his eyes were red again. He looked at Su Jin and said silently: "Mr.

Yan Shu nodded with a smile and said, "What a caring and righteous little official, this matter is my job, but you set a time limit for me, I am really ashamed; it doesn't matter if I promise you, one year." In the future, I will definitely try every means to get that old thief Pang to let my Biyun girl free."

Su Jin was overjoyed and said: "Thank you very much. If your lord breaks his promise and becomes fat after a year, don't blame me then."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "What? Are you going to try me out?"

Su Jin smirked and said, "How dare you, it's just that if Biyun and I do something to discredit you, don't blame me for not saying hello beforehand."

Yan Biyun's face was flushed, and he spat and scolded: "You level-headed bastard, how dare you say such things in front of uncle."

Yan Shu was also quite surprised. It was an anecdote that someone was so shameless, but he was already ashamed of Yan Biyun. Su Jin's sharp words just now were like a whip. The whip hit him to the core. He asked himself He really didn't do his best on this matter, and he kept ignoring Yan Biyun's feelings, so Su Jin's nonsense didn't make him angry.

"The matter of my niece, I want you to worry about it. If you spread it out, don't you laugh at the world? Since you are so determined, Su Jin, it seems that Biyun is not going to marry you. This old man is moved by your sincerity." , if it is really impossible to do this, the old man is still talking about sharing the country's worries, and I can't take care of my own affairs, I might as well resign from office and go back to seclusion."

Su Jinchang bowed and said, "Thank you, sir, for your fulfillment."

Yan Biyun also blessed one and said, "Thank you, Uncle, for your kindness."

Yan Shu raised his face and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "It's just that I have a doubt. The two of you are here, so you might as well ask each other directly; Biyun is five years older than you, and there is such a big difference in age between you two, how can you get married? It's natural for a man to be pleasing to each other. It's okay for a man to be two or 30 years older, but for a woman who is three years older, people in the world will regard it as a disharmonious marriage. Could it be that you want Biyun to be a concubine? Speaking of which, although my Yan family is not a wealthy family for generations, it has been a respectable family in the Song Dynasty since my father, if you can't treat each other as the main wife, I will never agree to the affairs of the two of you."

Su Jin laughed dumbly and said: "Age is not a problem, I have never disliked that Ms. Yan is older than me." Su Jin said in her heart: I have Sister Yu's control, you may not know it, and you won't understand it.

Yan Shu said: "The old man is not talking about you, but the people in your family."

Su Jin patted his chest loudly, and said: "There is only my mother in the family. My mother is reasonable and she is by no means a person who makes trouble out of nothing. As long as I like it, my lord mother will definitely not dislike it."

Yan Shu stroked his beard and said: "So I can rest assured, this matter is like this, you two can communicate, but you need to be polite, and you must avoid some people, don't give them a handle, otherwise things will become difficult; The old thief deliberately made things difficult for me, so he refused to break the engagement several times, if he finds out that the two of you have been in close contact, I'm afraid he will become angry."

Su Jin cupped his hands and said: "I know." He said in his heart: "Be polite, why don't you die?"

Yan Biyun also nodded with a blushing face, making up her mind in her heart that Su Jin can't be allowed to mess around.

"There is one more thing that I have to tell you."

Su Jindao: "Your Excellency, if you have something to send, just order it."

Yan Shu pondered for a while, as if making up his mind, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that you and that Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan got together yesterday, didn't you?"

Su Jin asked suspiciously: "I just met once and talked about some poetry and calligraphy. At that time, Mr. Tang from Yingtian Mansion was also present. What, is there anything wrong?"

Yan Shu said: "Don't ask so many questions, I just tell you, stay away from them, whether it's King Teng or Tang Fu Yin, don't get too close to them, but don't offend them easily."

Su Jin scratched his head and said, "I don't want to make friends with them, but King Teng seems to be very interested in me. Yesterday, Master Tang asked me to go to Tengwang Mansion to write a congratulatory letter for his concubine Ji on the tenth day of August. .”

Yan Shu stared and said, "Did you agree?"

Su Jin shook his head and said, "I promised to write a congratulatory message, but I didn't promise to go in person."

Yan Shu took a long breath and said, "That's good. Since I agreed to write a poem, it's fine to write a poem. It's too embarrassing for them and it will make them unhappy."

Su Jin wanted to ask why he didn't let himself get closer to them, but seeing Yan Shu's posture, he definitely wouldn't say anything, so he also shut up.

"I heard that you have done a lot of things in the academy. You came to the academy to study and take exams, not to make enemies. You confronted the instructor of the academy and humiliated Zhang Ye, the son of the minister of rites. You actually engaged in martial arts with him in the Cuju competition. , these Qi Shanchang have told me, why are you so non-stop." Yan Shu sighed.

Su Jin was so wronged that she would die. She did these things with confidence, because it was the fault of others first, so she couldn't hold her head and let others bully her.

Seeing that Su Jin was about to argue, Yan Biyun hurriedly tugged at the corner of Su Jin's clothes secretly, and the words that came to Su Jin's mouth had to be swallowed forcefully, and he only nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Su Jin's attitude was quite upright, Yan Shu calmed down and said, "You must win fame next year in Qiuwei, and you don't want something like Luzhou to happen. Getting a talisman will be of great benefit to you, so I can rest assured that I will give you a good name." Biyun entrusts it to you, while the old man can still speak, it may help your career, but the scientific examination can only be done by yourself, if you can't go to high school, everything will be in vain, from now on you can only hold your tail As a human being, you need to think clearly about this.”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "Students understand that there is still one year left, students must study hard, and they must go to high school no matter what."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "That's right, a child can be taught, and that's all I've said. I won't say much else. I'm afraid the officials will get anxious waiting for me outside. I'll go back to Beijing now. Don't show up to see me off." I'm sorry, Tang Jie and others are outside, it's not good to see."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out, Su Jin hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists and said, "Respectfully see you off, my lord."

Yan Biyun bowed his head and said: "Respectfully send off my uncle."

Yan Shu fluttered his sleeves and went out. There was already a lot of traffic outside. A group of officials gathered outside the door waiting to bid farewell to the third envoy. After some courtesies, they sent Yan Shu and a group of officials to the ten-mile long pavilion at the west gate. Yan Shu cupped his hands Get in the car and leave.
