The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(NO.18, just ask weakly, do you have extra tickets?)

Yuelai Inn is just inside the west city gate, and there are three streets and alleys together with the city gate.

After dozens of days of disasters in the past, Yangzhou City is like a man in his prime who was suddenly knocked down by a serious illness. Although there are famous doctors and skilled hands, but "the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread", if you want to recover Angry, I'm afraid it will take months or even years to recuperate.

The opening of the inn was also in response to the call of Mr. Su and Mr. Song, the special envoys for grain affairs. Originally, the shopkeeper did not intend to attract business, but since the envoys transported the grain into the city, the inn has also operated according to the times. On that day in the city, someone booked the inn with a mouthful, and the price they paid was quite high, which made the shopkeeper's mouth happy.

The guest's request is simple. No other people are allowed to stay upstairs or downstairs, and only a few clerks are left to take care of the animals, boil water and run errands. Don't interfere with other affairs; If the sign is full, don't talk too much, don't inquire; as long as you can do this, the rent will be doubled.

How can the shopkeeper refuse to obey, Yangzhou city is full of devastation, and the first thing to do is to improve your own business, which is something you can't wish for, and look at the few veiled female relatives who live here, they are by no means strong men who rob houses, but more like officials The family members of the family are even more heartbroken.

Su Jin, dressed in a small cap in Tsing Tsing, dressed as ordinary as a street peddler, got in through the inn's concealed door, and the shopkeeper who was dozing off on the counter was awakened by the sound of footsteps, saw a guest, and hurriedly got up Said: "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the shop? I'm sorry, the shop is full, and there is a sign at the door."

Su Jin said: "I'm here to meet guests, so I'm looking for your living guest."

The shopkeeper looked Su Jin up and down, frowned and said, "Don't mind, the guests staying here have given orders not to disturb outsiders."

Su Jin smiled and said: "I know, I'll trouble you to go inside and let me know, and I'll tell you that Su is here to look for you."

The shopkeeper looked at Su Jin's shabby appearance, and said in his heart: "What a big tone, tell me your surname and they will see you right away?"He prevaricated and said: "The guest didn't order, and you didn't make an appointment with him, so I don't dare to bother you."

Su Jin didn't pay any attention to him, and walked in; the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him and scolded: "What's the matter with you, why are you wandering around? Do you still think it was the chaos in the city a few days ago? Let me tell you, the imperial court sent Su Qingtian down to deal with you bad bastards, if you don't go out, I will report to the officials and take you away."

Su Jin laughed and said: "Su Qingtian? He is my acquaintance, I am not afraid if you call him."

The shopkeeper said anxiously: "What are you doing like a scoundrel? You don't want to be a person who can recognize officials, but you have a pretty face. Why don't you learn well and tell a lot of lies; Xiao Huang and Xiao Sun pulled him away. go out."

The two young men who were nesting in the corner warming up the fire immediately came over with eyes on their eyes.

Su Jin was overjoyed and said with a smile: "It seems that Su Qingtian has given you a lot of courage when he arrived in Yangzhou. Do you know him?"

"Just kidding, why don't you know each other? Tell you not to be scared, Su Qingtian's second aunt's young nephew's eldest brother is my brother, and we have met Su Qingtian before."

Su Jin frowned and recalled that he had no memory of seeing this person before, and said triumphantly, "I'm afraid, let's go, and we won't make things difficult for you, but if you want to do something in Yangzhou, I advise you to die as soon as possible." Heart, once Su Qingtian comes, our city of Yangzhou will be sunny, don't think about dirty things."

Su Jin laughed loudly, and felt a little proud. It turns out that his image in the hearts of the people in Yangzhou is really good. It can be heard that the shopkeeper's respect for him is also sincere, and he doesn't want to get too entangled with him. Jiu said with a smile: "Thank you for the kind words of the shopkeeper. I am Su Jin, and I am indeed here to meet customers."

"Ha ha……"

"hey-hey……"

"We're laughing to death. Look at your wicked eyebrows, how dare you pretend to be Su Qingtian... Hehehe."

The shopkeeper and the two assistants laughed and knocked down, pointing at Su Jin's nose and face, looking and laughing, laughing and looking, as if Su Jin had three pig noses on his face.

"Damn..." Su Jin rolled his eyes and argued, "I'm really Su Jin!"

"Don't be funny, is it interesting?" The shopkeeper leaned on the table and smiled, his body was full of fat and waves: "Brother, are you here to amuse us? How do you know that we are bored?"

"The shopkeeper, I'm afraid it's the people who have wandered on the street recently. It is said that a few people from Nancheng have come to tell jokes and perform funny shows recently. They are nothing more than begging for some food. I think it's probably for this." A young man said slightly. The way to get involved.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "It's possible." He reached out and took out a penny from his pocket, stuffed it into Su Jin's hand, and said, "Take it, your joke is really funny, and we were really amused by you, but this You can’t always tell jokes, if the yamen finds out, they will use you as a bluff.”

Su Jinyu cried without tears, and said anxiously: "I'm really fucking Su Jin."

"Hey... You bastard, you still have a dirty mouth, get out, get out!" The shopkeeper turned his face.

Su Jin ignored them and rushed in. The shopkeeper and the two boys hurriedly dragged him out holding hands and hugging his waist.

Su Jin yelled loudly: "Xian'er...! Rou Niang...! Zhang Long, you bastard, come out soon, the shopkeeper's heads were kicked by donkeys, come out and pick me up soon."

"Bah, I think you've just lost your mind and gone crazy. It's unlucky to meet someone who is daydreaming in broad daylight and pretends to be Su Qingtian, an imperial envoy; this time you must be sent to the government to be punished."

The four of them wrestled, the winter ones were all dressed thickly, the round ones were not easy to use, and they were all sweaty from exhaustion. At the moment when the curtain of the back door of the lobby was lifted, Xiao Xianer poked out half of her pretty face Curious peeps.

Su Jin saw it at a glance, as if grasping at a straw, and shouted: "Xian'er...Xian'er! Come and save me, these three guys are crazy."

The shopkeeper tugged at Su Jin's neckline and said out of breath, "You're crazy, you've disturbed the customers, I'm not giving you a good look."

Xiao Xian'er hurried over, seeing the four of them huddled together, she said in surprise, "Young master, what kind of novelty is this? Four people squeeze oil residue to keep warm?"

Su Jin gasped and said, "Gu nainai! Do you think this looks like a game?"

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded when he heard the phrase 'Young Master', stopped pointing at Su Jin and asked Xiaoxian, "Girl, do you really know each other?"

Xiao Xian'er said: "Of course I do, he is my son, you don't know him? He is the great benefactor of you people in Yangzhou, Su Qingtian you call him."

"Oh, my mother!" The shopkeeper fell to his knees as soon as his legs gave way. It turned out that he was really the master, and this was a terrible situation.

The two boys who were too involved in the drama were still dragging Su Jin to the back desperately. Su Jin was pulled around by the pillars and his legs slipped.

The shopkeeper leaned forward and slapped each of them: "Stop dragging, it's really Su Qingtian, this time we've broken a big taboo."

Su Jin finally calmed down from the turbulent waves, his brow was covered with sweat, this was fucking harder than stealing a cow, looking at the three people kneeling in front of him who looked like candle tips, he gasped and said, "That's all, let's see clearly later Come on, don't let me come again next time, if you come out like this again, you will suffer, I can't bear it with my small body."

The shopkeeper kowtowed like garlic, and hurriedly said: "No, no, Su Qingtian is a good-looking talent, with bright eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance. The villain will never forget it. The next time we meet, I will pick my pair." Recruiters can also know that Su Qingtian has arrived."

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Now that you're handsome again, didn't you just say that I'm a mouse-eye?"

"Damn the little people, it's the little people who look at you with evil eyes." The shopkeeper hurriedly twitched his mouth and kowtowed.

Su Jin said: "Close the door of the inn, and don't tell anyone that I'm here. If someone knows, be careful, I'll really take you."

The three of them didn't dare to say anything, they just kowtowed, Su Jin rubbed his sore shoulders, pulled Xiao Xian'er, and went straight to the back hall of the inn.
