The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(A buddy kept opening his vest to mention Chapter 17 about whether there were tomatoes in the Song Dynasty. Okay, there were no tomatoes in the Song Dynasty, but I wrote it before, and I don’t plan to change it. Everyone should read this book to see if there were tomatoes in the Song Dynasty. Yes. Another: from the next chapter onwards is the biggest plot of the second volume, which will have a great impact on Xiaosu’s future, so stay tuned.)

Yan Biyun's little red carriage was parked in a corner of the yard, and at this moment Yi Ren was standing by the osmanthus tree, surrounded by Xiao Xian'er, Rou Niang and others, several people were talking and laughing at Yan Yan, chatting happily.

Lu Dakui and Cheng Liangmu were sitting at the stone table dumbfounded, watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts. Wu Hengxin was nowhere to be seen, probably still asleep in the room.

In the alley outside the courtyard, there were a few shadowy people walking back and forth, but they were Yan Biyun's companions.

Su Jin brought Wang Anshi and Wei Songhe to the courtyard, saw Yan Biyun hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said, "Miss Yan is here to show you the glory, and she is full of brilliance."

Yan Biyun was a little surprised to see many outsiders present. He thought it was a moon appreciation reunion party for his family, but he didn't expect that there were a few young men among them, who returned the salute while showing doubtful expressions.

Su Jin hurriedly introduced each other, and Yan Biyun returned the gift with ten thousand blessings. Several students were greatly shocked today. The beauties in Su Jin's house are as beautiful as each other. Ms. Yan appeared again in the meeting, and it was obvious that the two people exchanged glances and got along with each other naturally, it was by no means an ordinary relationship; I really don't know how many women this guy has hooked up with, and how many secrets he still has. Know.

Su Jin could see the astonishment in everyone's eyes. Although he was proud of himself, he couldn't expose the relationship between the two, so he said: "Miss Yan is the owner of "Hefeng Tower" here, and she had business with Miss Yan when she was in Luzhou. The exchanges on the Internet have become good friends, and this Mid-Autumn Festival, Miss Yan is alone in the Yingtian Mansion, so I invited Miss Yan to come and eat moon cakes and enjoy the moonlight together, which can be regarded as a friendship."

Wang Anshi and the others nodded submissively, but said in their hearts: "Are you lying to a ghost? It's impossible to pretend that we are all blind. The two female consultants surrounded this Miss Yan and laughed at Yan Yan. They were obviously familiar and couldn't be more familiar. See Thinking about it, Ms. Yan must come and go frequently, and it is natural to walk among friends, but if a single woman walks around a single man's residence, she can figure out what is going on with the back of her head."

Su Jin didn't care what they thought, but Yan Biyun was a little shy and apprehensive. Hearing Su Jin say that these were sworn brothers, Yan Biyun was dumbfounded. He didn't know what kind of tricks this guy was playing. Brother, it's really fun and noisy.

Yan Biyun was generous, natural, quiet and gentle, and soon became acquainted with a few of them. They chatted with a stunning woman, and their words matched each other. Naturally, they felt happy and comfortable. Everyone in my family is older than him, but so far I don't have a fan confidant, it's really sad.

The sky is getting darker, the moon is getting brighter and higher, and it is gradually hanging between the treetops. Su Jin ordered people to take out the melon seeds from the fruit plate, and put the mooncakes that Rou Niang brought from Luzhou on the plate. Put it out and put it on, Yan Biyun ordered Xiao Xian'er who stood by to take out the two jars and Fenglou's top self-brewed "Bihuchun" wine, Su Jin personally filled the wine cup in front of everyone, raised The cup said: "Today is good, well, all of you present here are my close friends and friends who Su Jin made. Everyone is drifting away. It is a kind of fate that we can get together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's make this cup and remember this day's reunion forever." .”

Before the words were finished, I heard someone shouting loudly at the entrance of the hall: "Lao Liu, you don't call me when you drink, you are not righteous."

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, and then remembered that there was another Wu Hengxin who was not there. Everyone was so busy talking, they actually forgot about him.

Su Jin hurriedly made room for him, and was about to introduce him and Yan Biyun, but saw Wu Hengxin standing there in a daze, staring at Yan Biyun with good eyes.

No matter how generous Yan Biyun was, she couldn't bear the staring stare of the strange man, her brows were slightly frowned, a little unhappy, while Xiao Xianer was already staring at the side, ready to get mad.

Seeing the scene, Wang Anshi hurriedly pulled Wu Hengxin's clothes, signaled him not to be rude, and secretly worried: Why does Brother Zhu look like this, not to mention insulting Ms. Yan, but also embarrassing everyone.

Wu Hengxin didn't seem to notice it, but raised his finger and pointed at Yan Biyun, looked at Yan Biyun and then at the moon in the sky, stammering, "Brothers, why are my eyes dazzled? Why did you invite the Fairy Chang'e from the moon?" ?”

Everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter. This guy actually regarded Yan Biyun as the moon fairy Chang'e who came down to earth. Su Jinxiao's tears were about to come down. The flower branches of the smiling mouth trembled.

The stupid man opened his eyes and looked around: "Am I wrong? Isn't it a fairy? Where's the Jade Rabbit? Didn't you bring it down?"

Yan Biyun couldn't help laughing, and covered his mouth; Wang Anshi pulled him to sit down and whispered in his ear, "Don't be rude, this is Su Jin's friend, Ms. Yan, stop talking nonsense."

Wu Hengxin opened his mouth like a big hole, and stretched out his two thumbs together: "So that's it, I understand, except for Su Jin, none of us can befriend a fairy-like figure."

The crowd burst into laughter again, Yan Biyun saw that he was stupid, and knew he was an idiot, even though he was an idiot, but every word he said was what women love to hear, so he couldn't help being in a good mood. <Fine wine, I'm afraid it's rare to drink it on weekdays. "

Only then did Wu Hengxin focus on the delicious food and wine. Everyone toasted and drank, and divided the mooncakes to eat, enjoying themselves for a while.

Seeing a round of jade rabbits on the treetops, Su Jin ordered to blow out the lanterns. After a period of gloom, the eyes gradually brightened up, but seeing the round golden moon shrouded everything in it, lightly covered by thin clouds, the full moon was in the sky. Haunting and appearing in the misty thin clouds, smiling as if shy, and laughing ashamedly.

The courtyard is covered with clear frost. Under the moonlight, the flowers, trees, figures, houses, stools, plates and dishes are like a veil on a cage. The aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus overflows from the nose and fills the hearts of the people. The heart is clean and dust-free, and all worries and worries are gone, and there is only silence in it and I don't want to move.

Su Jin forgot everything and seemed to remember everything again. All kinds of things in later generations, parents, friends, lovers, classmates, everything floated in his mind. I remembered Xia Siling...

A faint melancholy welled up in his heart, Su Jin sighed slightly, a small hand reached out from his side, held his hand and squeezed it, but it was Yan Biyun who heard the sigh and came to comfort himself.

"Looking at the bright moon together should weep, and the hearts of the five places are the same for one night; on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people are always sad and inexplicably sad." Wang Anshi sighed.

"Yeah, why does facing the moon always cause people's emotions to fluctuate?" Wei Songhe looked up at the moon and murmured.

Su Jinxin said: I won't tell you, it's because the gravitational force has increased in recent months, causing the water in the body to produce biological tides, which disturbs people's emotions; although Li Chong is not here, he won't pester him to say The reason inside, but once such words are uttered, it's no wonder that Wang Anshi and others don't call them crazy.

"Golden and golden, it looks like a big cake. I really want to take a bite..." Wu Hengxin muttered something vaguely while chewing on the mooncake, almost turning all the people in the seat over; Hu and other foodies nodded in agreement.

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said, "The moon is bright and bright, and literati have loved it throughout the ages. I'm waiting to drink with the moon today, but it's also doing the elegant things of the ancients. It feels wonderful."

Lu Dakui suddenly said: "Sixth brother, why don't you show off your talents and write a poem next month, so that you can remember today as a souvenir when you think of it in the future."

This proposal immediately aroused the approval of the crowd, and Wang Anshi took the lead in applauding and applauding: "Su Jin's lyrics are well written, and today I need him to compose a poem. If I want to do the elegant things of a literati, I should do it in a more authentic way. Wine, flowers, etc. are all there, how can there be no poetry to add to the fun?"

Su Jin's head is about to explode, and Nima is about to pirate again. Fortunately, there will be no copyright troubles, otherwise, if the compensation for pirated editions is just one, I will be begging on the street.

He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly, and he didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, so he got up and paced, pretended to search, and suddenly stopped and said: "There is a song that fits the occasion, I hope I will not insult your hearing."

Everyone was busy getting paper and pens, Su Jin waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll just take a piece."

Rou Niang and Huan Niang quickly concentrated on their memory. When the young master wrote the lyrics, he had to sing along with the tune. Fortunately, he had a good professional quality and the poems were not difficult to memorize.

Under the moonlight, Su Jin wore a long gown, walked to the osmanthus tree with his hands behind his back, folded one and put it up to his nose to smell it gently.

"When is the bright moon, ask the blue sky for wine;"

As soon as the two sentences were uttered, the poem opened magnificently, with an extraordinary bearing, and everyone did not dare to take a breath, waiting for the next sentence.

"When the moon will be there, ask Qingtian about the wine.

I don’t know what the palace is, but what year is it.

I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu,

The heights are so cold,

Dancing clear shadow, like in the world.

Turn to Zhuge,

Low Qihu,

According to sleepless.

There should be no hatred,

What's the long way to go?

People have joys and sorrows,

The moon waxes and wanes,

This matter is hard to come by.

May people live long,

Thousands of miles share beauty. "

After Su Jinyin finished, he stood quietly on the spot, twirling the osmanthus branches with his hands, staring at the disc-like full moon, motionless.

The shock in the hearts of the people could not be added. There is no doubt that a peerless poem was born. The poem started with the meaning of Li Taibai's "Ask the Wine to the Moon", and then unfolded rich imaginations, taking everyone to the nine heavens. In the palace, it seems that Su Jin is a person in the sky. He said "I want to go back by the wind" and secretly compared himself to the gods in the sky; The words "Qihu, Zhao Wumian" describe the scenery to the extreme, the moonlight flows, shining on the people inside the window, who can't fall asleep for a long time, must be full of melancholy.

"People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult to complete in ancient times. 'Helpless but optimistic, following the previous sentence, people can't sleep, it seems to be saying that joys and sorrows are inevitable, so why bother to be full of melancholy and can't sleep.

The last two sentences are the essence of the whole word. I sincerely wish people all over the world healthy and safe. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can enjoy this round of bright moon together. It is both beautiful and open-minded. , refined and meaningful.

Wang Anshi's mouth was parched and his eyes were dazzled. He had the deepest knowledge in poetry and prose among the audience, and he could best understand the beauty of the artistic conception, the open-mindedness of the situation, the sophistication of the words, and the sophistication of the technique.

"As soon as the sixth brother's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" came out, all the words about enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival have been discarded in the past and present." Wang Anshi clapped the table and stood up, applauding and laughing.
