The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Update time: 22--5

Of course Su Jin knew there was something in Qin Fei's words, but this situation was unavoidable at this time and place, even if Qian Huang and his wife overturned all what they said last night, it was within his expectation.

"Qian Gousheng, is that your name?" Su Jin asked, pointing at Qian Gousheng.

Qian Gousheng poked his neck and said, "What's the matter? Isn't that a bad name?"

Su Jin chuckled and said, "It's very good, it's not bad, it's a good name." The onlookers roared with laughter, and said to himself: It's this time, this little official Su is still joking, if he didn't have a plan, then It's just a fool who doesn't know the critical situation.

"Do you live in Qianjiazhuang, Shilipo, outside the east city?"

"Yeah, that's where my hometown is, but I've lived in the city for four years."

"So you're an urbanite, haha, congratulations."

"There's so much nonsense, if you want to ask, ask quickly."

"Are your parents at home?"

"They all died a long time ago. They all died when I was ten years old. Does this have anything to do with this matter? If you ask such an irrelevant topic, I won't talk to you."

"Of course it does matter. You just need to answer my question. If you don't answer, I will take it as your default."

Everyone rolled their eyes, there is no such self-assertion, but as soon as the words came out, it blocked Qian Gouyu's escape route. As long as you don't answer, I will take you as the acquiescence, and this move is enough damage.

"Quickly ask, I've been tied up all night, my hands and feet are numb, and now I'm talking nonsense again, let me tell you, once I get out of trouble, you won't be able to eat and walk around." Qian Gousheng became a little unscrupulous. There are also dirty words on it.

Su Jin waved his palms to 'slap' two pot stickers on his mouth, which made him dizzy; there was a sound of exclamation around him, no one thought that Su Jin would dare to beat someone openly here.

Tang Jie said angrily: "Bold, you dare to be so rude in front of me and the prince, don't you take us seriously?"

There was a cold light in Su Jin's smiling eyes, and he said quietly: "If this person calls himself Lao Tzu in front of you, Mr. Tang, will you still smile at him, Mr. Tang?"

Tang Jie was at a loss for words, Qian Gousheng's mouth was not clean, the two pot stickers really deserved it, and he immediately shouted: "Then Qian Gousheng, speak well, and then utter foul language, I will not forgive you lightly."

Qian Gou left the wind to go too far, and completely forgot that he was still a prisoner, so he began to speak without restraint. Su Jin's two mouths woke him up, and he spit out the blood in his mouth. Scolded all over.

"Your parents passed away when they were ten years old, how did you grow up?" Su Jin and Yan Yue asked seductively, as if he was chatting with an old friend, the two slaps just now seemed to have nothing to do with him .

"I... my boss and the west can always survive, can you...you can control it?" Qian Gousheng reacted quickly, and the three words of "fucking" were abruptly swallowed by him. , because he saw that Su Jin's slender and slender palm seemed to move.

"Hundreds of rice to support people, if you want to say that your fellow villagers are really good, they not only provide you with food and clothing, but also provide you with education, and they even let you enter the Yingtian Courtyard. It makes sense to work hard, I admire it." Su Jin cupped his hands and said.

Everyone understood that Su Jin went around to tell everyone how absurd this matter was. It was a miracle that a poor son whose parents both died was able to survive, let alone be able to read, and even more so. Being recommended by Ying Tian Tixue to enter Ying Tian Yuan, this is simply a myth, and there are too many unreliable factors in it.

Qian Gousheng is not stupid. Although he fell into Su Jin's trap in a few words, he was also extremely depressed, but he quickly got out and said: "I was lying outside the window to steal lessons when I was in private school, and I also stole it. I have a few books, and I tend to herd sheep and feed cattle for others on weekdays. I study hard, so why can’t I learn better than others? Mr. Ying Tianfu, the academic officer, sees that I am smart and knowledgeable, so I let I went to Yingtian Courtyard, and there is no money to eat and drink in the courtyard, why can't I go in and study?"

Su Jin applauded and laughed: "You make up... no no... You said that, I fell in love with the five bodies you admired. I thought the stories of those inspirational readers in ancient times were fake. What the hell? I always thought that the cantilever, awl, and thorn were all made up, but I didn't expect that there was a living example in front of me; needless to say, the lord who is in charge of education must no longer be in office, right?"

"How do you know?" Qian Gousheng asked stupidly.

"Do you need to ask? If he was in office, wouldn't he tell your lies with one word? Only when he is not in office, and he doesn't know where he is an official, can no one confront and refute. Do you think this is the reason? ?”

Qian Gousheng said angrily, "What are you talking about? If I tell you that you don't believe me, you will produce evidence to refute it. What is this?"

Qin Fei also said in a weird way: "Su Jin, even if you can't find any flaws by asking, you don't have to be so unmannered. You are also a reader."

Su Jin chuckled and said, "That's right, I don't have any evidence to refute his words, so I take it as your truth; Huang Ergou, needless to say, you are also self-educated since your parents died at the age of ten?"

Huang Ergou was buried in the stinky compost heap in the middle of the night last night. He had already hated Su Jin to the bone. At this moment, he gouged out Su Jin and said, "It's not, old...my parents are alive and well-off. I study in the school, and the academy recommended by Master Tixue, what's the matter?"

Su Jin raised his thumb and said: "That's right, this is reasonable, Qian Gousheng is too ridiculous."

Huang Ergou said: "He didn't make a fuss. Our Huangjiazhuang and Qianjiazhuang are only separated by a hill. We used to play together when we were young. Who in our area doesn't know that Qiangou is a hard-working and sensible person. Handsome, if you don’t believe me, ask around.”

Qian Gouxun's face burned in panic when he heard this, but he also relieved his anger in his heart, telling you kid to ask, there is no farting now.

Su Jin scratched his head and said, "I really want to inquire, but the Lord Fu Zun won't let me."

Of course, Tang Jie would not say generously: "Then you go and investigate." He knew in his heart that the two people were corroborating each other, and their mouths were almost cracked to the ears, so he pretended not to hear it.

Su Jin chuckled and said, "The last three questions, I won't ask them after you have answered them."

Qian Gousheng and Huang Ergou held their breaths and prepared to accept the move. People around knew that if these three questions could not be answered, Su Jin would have to accept the fate of being imprisoned. The audience was silent for a while, waiting Su Jin's three questions.

Su Jin took a breath, put away his smile and asked like a cannonball: "First question, when and when did you enter Yingtian Academy? Second question, what is the name of your lecturer? You only need to name three of them; for the third question, which courses are you taking, you only need to tell the names of five subjects."

These three questions can be said to be extremely simple. Su Jin did not ask them to recite a passage they had learned, it was already an extrajudicial favor. No matter who they are, as long as they have entered the Yingtian Academy, it is impossible for them to not be able to answer these three questions ; Entering the court is something that a reader is proud of, and its significance is no less than getting married and having children to become an official. Such an honorable event will definitely leave a deep impression, and there is absolutely no one who can't even answer these few questions.

Gou Sheng and Er Gou were all dumbfounded, they were temporarily pulled into the roles, how could they study these details carefully, even if they got their confessions right beforehand, these two people would definitely not be able to remember those awkward subject names.

The date of entering the academy can also be deduced from the current date of admission to the academy, and the names of the lecture seats are nonsense. If you ask who are the oirans among the kiln sisters in the four cities, these two people will take care of them. Like a few treasures, when I asked these great Confucians of the present age, it was exactly in response to that sentence: He knows me, who knows him.

"Well, the days of admission, the second year of Jingyou... June... no, no, July... the eighth month of the first day." Huang Ergou glanced at Qin Fei's secret gestures from the corner of his eyes, and finally caught the attention of Yingtianyuan The first day of school.

Su Jin said: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. How can I remember my own big life wrong." Huang Ergou said, and Qian Gousheng hastily agreed.

Su Jin said: "Okay, what I say doesn't count, and Chief Qi Shan will judge whether their answers are right or wrong.

Qi Shunbin frowned and thought about it: "Jingyou two years ago, that was seven years ago. At that time, the day when the college entered the summer was on the eighteenth of September, and the next year was the twentieth of the first month. Since last year, it was changed to the eighth day of the seventh month. Your answer is wrong."

Teng Wang Tang Jie and others were astonished, Qin Fei said anxiously: "Qi Weng, you remember correctly."

Qi Shunbin said slowly: "How can this matter be wrong? Are you an old man who can't even remember the days? That's right, isn't Zheng Zhipeng, the deputy envoy of the warehouse department of Yingtian Mansion, the son of Jingyou? I visited the old man a few days ago and talked about the old things with him, if you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask him for proof.”

"Just ask." Qin Fei really wanted to ask someone to ask Zheng Zhipeng, the deputy envoy of the warehouse department, to verify.

Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan scolded with a straight face: "What are you asking, Qi Weng is a man of virtue and elegance, he has never told a lie in his life, and his words still need to be proved? It's impossible to lose your head."

Qin Fei drooped his head and remained silent. He could see that the lord was going to abandon these two people, and he had to keep his mouth shut so as not to let the flames burn on his family. What he was thinking about now was not how to impose the crime on Su Jin and others. People, but to think about how to clean up this mess.
