The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

As everyone expected, the imperial decree was naturally invited by Ouyang Xiu. Not only that, the emperor also had a private conversation with Ouyang Xiu for a long time. The content is naturally unknown, but it can be guessed that Zhao Zhen gave it to him for this case. general direction.

Yan Shu later had an audience with Zhao Zhen by reporting on the matter of raising food, but no matter how Yan Shu tried to find out the emperor's attitude, Zhao Zhen kept talking about him and kept secret about his conversation with Ouyang Xiu and his attitude towards Su Jin. Yan Shu said a word of reassurance.

"Yan Aiqing, Su Jin has some skills, and you didn't insult your vision by recommending him. Just because of the looting of food, he can put his life and death at risk and lead his troops to overthrow the bandit's lair, which shows that he is a responsible person." Capable people; as for other rumors and rumors, I can only say that no one is perfect, and not being jealous is a mediocrity. This time Ouyang Aiqing is going to Yangzhou to check the situation. You can write a letter to him and encourage Su Jin Do your job well, and talk about other things later."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and then said: "But this person still needs to think about it, maybe he just entered the officialdom and didn't know how to restrain his sharpness. How courageous is he? He dared to pretend to be my tone to recruit security. Who gave him such a thing? If it is verified that they have great power, they will have to be punished."

Yan Shu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "It should be, if it is verified, the punishment should be natural, but..."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "I know what you're going to say, and I won't be stingy with the one who deserves the reward. I don't hide the light from the white jade, I know it well."

A stone fell to the ground in Yan Shu's heart. Zhao Zhen's attitude has naturally dissipated. Maybe Ouyang Xiu said something good in it. This Ouyang Xiu doesn't have many friends. As a human being, I didn't expect that he would actually help me at a critical moment.

On the official road at the South Gate, Ouyang Xiu chatted with Ma Junfang all the time. Of course, Fang Dutou didn't know what Su Jin did after he went to Yangzhou, but when he suppressed the bandits at the foot of Bagong Mountain, Fang Dutou has experienced it firsthand, so it is natural to talk about it with spit, splendor and thrills, and of course it is necessary to blow yourself like a flower, how to bravely kill the enemy, how to skillfully complete the military orders issued by Su Jin, and so on.

Ouyang Xiu repeatedly praised, intentional or unintentional bad karma revealed that he saw the names of Fang Dutou and the horsemen in the application note, which encouraged Fang Dutou and the accompanying horsemen even more, and they took this opportunity even more. Ouyang Zhongcheng is no longer an outsider.

"Lord Zhongcheng, I am really convinced by the lowly position of Special Envoy Su. If I were to go up the mountain with two entourages, this courage, tsk tsk... If I were in the Northwest Army, I would definitely be a general. It is definitely not worse than the famous General Di Qing before today."

Ouyang Xiu laughed and said, "It seems that you have great respect for Special Envoy Su, so why did I hear that you, Ma Jun, did not get along with him?"

Fang Dutou said angrily: "Who the hell is chewing his tongue, who said that we are not compatible with Special Envoy Su? We are very compatible!"

Ouyang Xiudao: "No, I heard people say that the food was robbed by less than four hundred bandits under the noses of your Ma Jun. Yesterday I brought Shen Yaozu, the bandit chief, to interrogation. What do you think he said?"

Fang Du's heart was beating wildly, and he thought: "It's revealed, it's over now."

Immediately asked anxiously: "How to say?"

"He said that he only brought [-] bandits down the mountain, but in the small town of Liangyuan, he didn't have any trouble. The Ma Jun didn't even resist, and just handed over the grain trucks."

Fang Du's face was ashen, and he denied it: "Fucking shit, we all died several brothers, why didn't we resist? The bandit chief is slandering at the end of his life, Mr. Zhongcheng can't believe his nonsense, If you don’t believe me, you can ask the special envoy when you arrive in Yangzhou.”

Ouyang Xiu laughed and said, "Fang Dutou, we're just chatting in private. I didn't come to Yangzhou for your business. I'm going to deliver the decree to Special Envoy Su. Don't be so excited."

Fang Du thought in his heart: "I believe you are a ghost. You Yushitai are all dog-nosed, and you have to smell it three times if you have nothing to do. What's more, this kind of thing is clearly a set of Lao Tzu's words. This opportunity to make meritorious deeds, Lao Tzu I can't give it to you."

"Lord Ouyang, the road is far away and it's cold. Let's not chat and hurry up. There are still four or five days to go to Yangzhou. Save some energy to announce the decree to Special Envoy Su. He has personally experienced everything. Why don't you ask?" he?"

Ouyang Xiu knew that Fang was wary, so it was inconvenient to ask more questions. Although Yu Shitai was arrogant, he could be suspicious and speculate; but there are rules for formal inquiries, and people have the right to refuse without formalities.

"Is Long Zhen, the deputy commander of the Ma Jun, also in Yangzhou? Why isn't he on the list of merit requests this time? It's really strange." Ouyang Xiu seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Fang Du turned his neck 180 degrees and concentrated on admiring the scenery of the wilderness. Although everything was withered and desolate there, with a few black crows following him, there was nothing to see.

……

In Yangzhou City, at nightfall, it is the twelfth lunar month, and it is the coldest time. It is better to have the sun during the day, and the leeward side is also warm, but the temperature after nightfall is unbearable. Surrounding the small red clay hot pot on the glowing red charcoal brazier with a few dishes of side dishes and two cups of burning knives, this is the bliss in the world.

Of course, for some people, it is the most enjoyable thing to go to a brothel to find a young lady with a soft body and a nimble tongue, and then hug her Bai Shengsheng's body close to the flesh and fall asleep.

The Blind Third Master is such a person, at the moment he is enjoying such a moment in Yulongxuan in Nancheng, but the Blind Third Master has the habit of asking two women to accompany him every time, although his ability to deal with one is not enough, but the blind The third master refused to accept his old age, the naked bodies of the two women he liked to pinch screamed, and to the ears of outsiders, he naturally raised his thumbs high.

"The blind third master is always strong. Look, the two sao foxes are no match for him."

This is what people who come to brothels outside like to say, of course, most of them are doing it to suit the occasion, the blind third master trembles in the aisle, and it seems that the pig's brain will not think that he is really so fierce.

But in Nancheng, the Blind Third Master has a head and a face, and he is generous, so it doesn't hurt to say something for face. Besides, there are several times when the Blind Third Master is happy when he hears such words, and with a wave of his hand, everyone's money will be covered by him. Well, when such good things happen more, people are more willing to give him this face.

The blind third master squinted his small eyes, and lay on the soft couch with his skinny and wrinkled belly exposed. Two newcomers jumped up and down with the little white rabbit on his chest and rubbed against him. He tried his best to imagine himself The golden gun was like iron stabbing these two sao bastards to death, but he was helpless, and the thing under him was always lying limply, no matter how the baby sucked and played, it just refused to look up.

But the blind third master is not worried, he just enjoys the bodies of these young girls. He can use his hands, mouth, and even his toes. In short, at his age, there are quite a lot of hard things on his body. to satisfy yourself.

A gust of cold wind passed over the naked bodies of the three of them indistinctly. The room with two braziers was originally too hot even wearing a layer of thin clothes. Naturally, the body was extremely sensitive to this cold breath.

The blind third master grabbed a handful of soft meat dangling in front of his eyes, and slowly said: "Go and see if the brazier is off, and then check whether the doors and windows are closed tightly? I really don't know how to serve others? I don't know the third master How much did I spend on you?"

The woman twisted her hips and looked at the brazier. The two pots of charcoal fire were burning vigorously. The front door and window were also tightly closed, and the furry leather seal stuffed in the crack of the door was also in good condition, but the rear window was hanging down. The curtains swayed slightly, as if a small crack had opened.

The woman ran over barefoot and gently opened the curtains. Sure enough, the window sill opened a crack at some point, and the cold wind gushed inward, blowing on her bare silk-like skin, and immediately a layer of goose bumps appeared.

With a low curse, the woman stretched out her hand to close the window, clicked the latch, and walked back with her shoulders in her arms. Suddenly, a big cold hand covered her mouth, and then a cold light flashed in front of her eyes, and a dagger had already arrived. in his own throat.

The woman was so frightened that her whole body became weak, and she couldn't help slipping down. The person behind her had to put her body between her arms and forcefully lift her up into the air. Someone whispered in her ear: "Call me and stab you, Tell me to stab you ten times, but don’t say a word, let you walk after the man is done, and don’t move a single hair of your hair.”

The woman nodded repeatedly, and slowly released the hand covering her mouth, the cold blade moved behind her back, and someone pushed her towards the soft couch.

"Is the window open? I didn't check it just now. It's really a bunch of... untrained... young children." The blind third master felt a little bit sucked by the lower mouth, with his eyes closed and the air leaking mouth open intermittently. gas.

Suddenly, the lower mouth stopped, which made the blind third master furious when he was comfortable. He opened his eyes and sat up suddenly, opened his mouth to curse, but his expression turned petrified in an instant. The woman named Xiaocui stared blankly at him with her wet mouth open while her hair was pulled.

The blind third master was a little dazed, he thought it was a dream, but he soon realized that it was not a dream, because he saw a curvy black hair sticking to the side of Xiaocui's half-opened mouth, it is possible to do this in a dream True, that's hell.
