The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

After Su Jin left, Ouyang Xiu, who woke up to greet Su Jin in the early morning, was no longer sleepy. He returned to the official post and looked through the hill-like case files. :Reading novels

Ouyang Xiu has not been idle for the past few days. Su Jin pushed the case of Yangzhou officials' collusion with Feng Jingyao to Ouyang Xiu, making him, the imperial envoy who came to investigate Su Jin, suddenly become the chief judge of the Yangzhou official case.

However, Ouyang Xiu did not refuse. If such a case is reported, it still needs to be heard by Yu Shitai, so what he has done at this moment can be regarded as his duty.

During the interrogation process, Ouyang Xiu had a new understanding of Su Jin. Such a young man, in the case of Feng Jingyao and Yangzhou officials, was clever and courageous, which really made people speechless.

What is unimaginable is that under the circumstances that almost all the officials in Yangzhou have become Feng Jingyao's minions, he can deal with it calmly, and his secret actions are not noticed by the officials, which shows that this person has a firm mind and careful thinking.

Ouyang Xiu naturally wanted to interrogate Feng Jingyao, but when he saw Feng Jingyao who was close to madness, the bloody scars on his body, and Feng Jingyao's severed half of his bleeding finger, Ouyang Xiu clearly felt a chill.

Su Jin is not a kind person. He chopped off Feng Jingyao's index finger in public and used it as a handprint. This move was so vicious that it made people heinous. He didn't seem to be afraid of others' comments at all. He even threatened to use a cork to block the place of reincarnation, etc., compared with such tricky methods, it pales in comparison.

What kind of person is this?Ouyang Xiu tried his best to find out Su Jin's behavior style, just like what he often did when he lived in Yushitai for a long time. Who can do it, this is what he likes to ponder.

But this Su Jin, he can't classify it. If you say that he is a modest gentleman who does not contend with the world, it is a joke; since he was in Yingtian Mansion, this person has been very restless; if it weren't for him The mess in Yingtian Mansion was so messed up, maybe Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan would not stay behind closed doors like a prisoner in Yingtian Mansion as he is now.

After Bao Zheng sent the German army to wipe out the privately raised soldiers everywhere, Zhao Zongdan became a widow. If the Holy Majesty did not care about blood and family, Zhao Zongdan's head would have been lost; as for Tang Jie, he would have died even more. Yes, the dignified magistrate died in the inn for unknown reasons, and there is no explanation until now.

When this person arrived in Yangzhou, the world was turned upside down immediately. It was nothing more than exterminating bandits and quelling civil uprisings, but also involved so many officials. Now the commander of Huainan Road, Wang Qinian, and all the elders of the court wanted to arrest his little brother. Braids, I wish I could be accused and sent to prison immediately.

Ouyang Xiu naturally understands that this is related to the competition for a certain position, but he has to say that this Special Envoy of Su is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but if he restrains himself a little, he will not draw out so much hatred. It can be seen that Su Jin is not that kind at all. Be careful of people with their tails between their legs.

However, this person is quite talented. Ouyang Xiu felt ashamed after reading a few poems by Yan Shu in the government and the public. He is the son of a family who doesn't know how to harvest crops in the moon.

But looking at this person's way of doing things, there is nothing that can be compared with those exquisite and elegant poems. Even his background is just a joke. He is just a businessman. In everyone's heart, merchants are the most despised; they are also vulgar in their actions, and they are completely rogue methods. Even when Feng Jingyao was arrested, he was fascinated by Feng Jingyao. Ruin his reputation, but he doesn't seem to care.

All in all, this person is a contradictory body, with the face of a good son in Zhuoshi, who writes poems of an elegant man, but acts viciously and resolutely, sometimes even more cunning than an old fox who has been in officialdom for many years.

The sound of rooster crowing gradually started outside the window, Ouyang Xiu blew out the candles, got up and opened the window, a gust of cold air hit his face, which cleared up his confused brain a lot.

Originally, he wanted to ask Su Jin something today. The matter was told by the interrogated prisoner. At the time, Ouyang Xiu felt that he was slandering Su Jin. Instead, it made him uneasy, so he wanted to ask the person involved side-by-side to see his reaction, so as to judge whether the matter was true.

Su Jin can do anything, maybe that matter is true, if it is true, the matter will be serious, so serious that he dare not even think about it.

"Master Zhongcheng, breakfast is ready, please move forward to eat." The personal attendant reported outside the door.

Ouyang Xiu hummed, closed the window, thought for a while and said to the door: "Come here."

A follower lifted the curtain and entered, bowed and said: "My lord orders."

Ouyang Xiudao: "Has the messenger sent to Shouzhou come back?"

The attendant said: "It has only been sent out for two days, and it will be at night at the earliest. Shouzhou is more than 700 miles away from here, and a fast horse can't bear it."

Ouyang Xiu nodded and said: "Once you come back, ask him to come to see me immediately; and send someone to the yamen to watch, if the grain affairs envoy Mr. Su goes to the yamen, ask him to come to see me immediately."

The entourage agreed and withdrew; after breakfast, Ouyang Xiu ordered a few important criminals to be arrested, focusing on that matter, and started a new round of interrogation.

……

When Su Jin woke up, it was already noon, the smell of fragrance was still lingering on the pillow, and there were still a few black hairs scattered, but he was the only one left in the room.

Su Jin tried his best to recall whether he had done anything last night, but unfortunately, he didn't lose any fragments of his memory, and he remembered clearly from entering the house to falling asleep.

Su Jin slapped herself, she was so beautiful, and at such a good opportunity, she actually fell asleep while holding Yan Biyun's smooth and fragrant body, is there something wrong with her?

Thinking of what happened last night, the little brother below immediately seemed to prove something, it was a little too hard, Su Jin spat, sighed and got out of bed, what a good opportunity, just wasted like this, can you do it next time? It is unknown whether he will be able to sleep in Yan Biyun's bed.

There were footsteps outside the door, and Xiao Sui'er came in with a hot towel, with a dull expression on her face; Su Jin had a guilty conscience and knew why the little girl's face was so bad; didn't it mean that the distinction between superiority and inferiority was extremely strict in ancient times?I can also be regarded as Xiao Sui'er's master, so it is really a headache for me to have this girl who always looks at me.

Su Jin sighed and began to wash, Xiao Sui'er said: "My lord, why are you sighing, aren't you living a happy life? I went back to the inn in the middle of the night and came to Miss Yan's room. Isn't this telling people to gossip?"

Su Jin turned her face sideways and said: "Who is talking gossip? My family is upstairs and downstairs. Besides, I just came here to lay a warm bed and didn't do anything. You girl is just a little nosy."

Xiao Sui'er pursed her lips and said: "Little servant girl is only thinking about the reputation of you and Ms. Yan, you don't have a marriage contract, besides, the old lady has not agreed to this matter, if the son-in-law is like this now, what if the old lady's side If you disagree, what will Miss Yan do in the future?"

Su Jin didn't expect this part, the reason the girl gave was aboveboard and could not be refuted.

"Well, what you said is reasonable, this time it was the master who was abrupt, so I'm not going to be an example; Sui'er seems to have grown up now, and she is very thoughtful about issues."

Xiao Sui'er said: "They are no longer children, only the young master has always treated the little maid as a child, and he just told them what happened, and never told me."

Su Jin smiled and said: "You are still panting when you say you are fat. Have you grown up? If I remember correctly, you seem to be only fifteen years old. Does this count as growing up?"

Xiao Sui'er twisted her body and said, "You will be sixteen during Chinese New Year, and in the countryside, you will be married at 15, and you may be a mother at 16. You don't know anything."

Su Jin wiped off the water stains on his face, sat on a chair and let Xiao Sui'er comb his hair in a bun, and said intentionally: "So Sui'er reminded me to find someone for you, tell me that I like that boy, Master Let me decide for you, give you a generous dowry, and take care of you in the future without worrying about food and clothing."

Xiao Sui'er suddenly fell silent, and did not move her hand combing her hair. Su Jin looked back in surprise, and saw Xiao Sui'er standing there with tears in her eyes, and her pretty face was covered with tears.

Su Jin hurriedly said: "Why are you crying? What's wrong with you."

Xiao Sui'er stomped her feet and said: "I knew that the master thought I was in the way and wanted to send the little maid away one day earlier, so don't worry about it. If the master doesn't want me to serve you, I'll go to Yunshui nunnery to be a nun, so I won't worry about it." It looks annoying."

Su Jin couldn't help laughing, stood up and wiped Xiao Sui'er's tears, and comforted: "So you don't want to find someone? You will be wrong."

Xiao Sui'er raised her face and cried: "My maidservant doesn't go anywhere, she just waits on...for the rest of my life, if I get bored someday, I just say so, my maidservant... picks up the package and leaves; but I don't want to leave, Grandpa... the little servant girl's words are a bit out of order, and I know it, but I just can't control myself, I just ask you to forgive me, don't drive me away."

Su Jin never thought that a joke would attract such a big reaction. Seeing Xiao Sui'er's sad look, Su Jin was a little moved. Other people around him, Su Jin dared not say it, but as long as there was danger, Xiao Sui'er would definitely come first. One stepped forward to protect himself, Su Jin can definitely guarantee this.

I remember that time in Yingtian Mansion, Yan Shu went to the courtyard to look for him but couldn't find him, so he sent tolerances to the whole city to inquire about him, everyone thought they wanted to take him, when the tolerance found him on the street, Xiao Sui'er rushed up like a tigress , almost pinched the tolerance's arm to bleed; if they were Huanniang and the others, they might die with him, but it is absolutely impossible for them to stand up and fight.

Su Jin understands this point, and it is difficult to tell which of the two is better, to accompany her to die, or try her best to protect herself from death, but in Su Jin's heart, she agrees with Xiao Sui'er's actions. Jin is not a kind person, and he would naturally refuse to kill when encountering life and death matters, so what he hopes more is that someone can fight together like him, instead of passively accepting and then martyrdom.

Su Jin stretched out his hand to take Xiao Sui'er's hand and said softly: "Sui'er, what stupid things are you talking about? As long as you are willing to follow me, why would you be driven away? I'm afraid that one day you don't want to follow me. I can't stop you, I was joking with you just now, why did you take it seriously; I'm such a child, I can't help teasing."

Xiao Sui'er shook her head softly and said: "Master, how could the maidservant leave you by herself, no, unless you drive the maidservant away."

Su Jin smiled and said, "Master...how can you be willing?"

Xiao Sui'er blushed and her heart beat. This was the first time Su Jin said such words to her. She was at a loss for a while, a little dizzy, and quickly put her hand on the back of the chair to calm herself down.

Su Jin was also a little embarrassed, why did he say these teasing words casually, Xiao Sui'er is not yet an adult, although he is 16 years old, but the soul in his skin is a big boy, and he can't help talking to little Lolita, this It's a crime.

While blaming herself, Su Jin couldn't help but look at Xiao Sui'er's snow-white and crystal nape exposed with her head lowered, her gaze slid down in her heart, and suddenly she was surprised to find that this little girl had already grown up without her noticing. Very good, the chest has already bulged, like two little rabbits, and the body also exudes a nice faint girly body fragrance; drooping eyelids, pink pretty face, round and straight nose bridge, With a small and ruddy mouth, she looks like a beautiful fetus.

Su Jin was surprised, it turned out that this girl is indeed not a child anymore, she has indeed grown up.
