The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The sky was gray, with scattered raindrops.

It has been eight days since Su Jin bloodbathed Yuzhang Tower, and the rescued Rou Niang still hasn't woken up. The wound on her head has slowly healed, but she just sleeps in a coma every day.

Su Jin quietly entrusted Yan Biyun to call famous doctors in the capital for diagnosis, but most of them were at a loss as to how to cure this comatose symptom.

Su Jin, who thought it was not a serious problem, panicked. Although she didn't want to admit it, she felt like a mirror in her heart: Rou Niang's head was seriously injured, and she might become what later generations call a "vegetative person".

Fortunately, Rouniang can still swallow liquid food. Every day, Huanniang will feed soup and rice porridge that has been boiled seven or eight times, barely hanging her life. [

Since going to the palace, for four or five days, Su Jin held Rou Niang's warm hand and sat on the edge of her bed talking to her. Although Su Jin didn't know how to wake up the vegetable, but later generations have seen many reports There are examples of awakening, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, it is worth a try.

The examination had all ended five days ago. Yousi had to write down the test papers of the examinees first, and then start the review. The purpose was to prevent some candidates from colluding with the examiner to make a fuss about the handwriting, but this would take too much time. The delay was quite long, originally it would take five days to announce the rankings, but it was delayed by one to two days.

Su Jin doesn't care about these anymore, all he cares about is whether Rou Niang can wake up, the whole thing is due to his own reckless actions that lead to such consequences; so what if dozens of people were slaughtered?Even if everyone in the Xia family is slaughtered, if Rou Niang never wakes up, it will still be a lifelong regret.

In five days, Su Jin lost a lot of weight. He was always a bit sluggish even when he washed himself. He hesitated and stayed up for several nights. Black stubble also appeared on his clean chin. He looked very handsome. Decadent; Rou Niang is getting thinner day by day, Su Jin is also blaming herself day by day, and people are getting more and more depressed day by day.

This picture of Su Jin made Yan Biyun and others very worried, but Yan Biyun still has a lot of work to do. The Yan family has more than a dozen properties in various places to take care of, and Su Jin's newly opened Yinzhuang will soon be renovated. , all the personnel have been hired in place, and they are waiting for Su Jin to train them, otherwise they will not be able to open and operate.

Millions of capital funds have already been prepared, so it is a big loss if so much money is kept idle. You must know that all the money raised by Yan Biyun is transferred from the accounts of restaurants and shops in various places, which has already affected With the development of the Yan family's industry, shopkeepers in some places have secretly written letters to tell those young masters in Yan's mansion who do nothing but enjoy themselves, saying that the Yan family has diverted funds away to help others do business, which has affected the Yan family's business; these people She doesn't have any skills, but she puts a lot of effort into finding trouble. When she saw Yan Biyun, she would gossip and scold Huai, implying that she was cheating, and that before she got married, she would give away the Yan family's property to outsiders, and use it to stick wild men.

Yan Biyun is a strong person, she doesn't argue, she still goes her own way, she can take the words of her cousins ​​and aunts as deaf ears; but even so, more and more unpleasant words make Yan Biyun cry behind her back several times.

Xiao Xian'er looked uncomfortable, and told Yan Shu about this behind Yan Biyun's back. Yan Shu angrily called everyone together, scolded them, and made it clear that anyone who spoke nonsense would be kicked out of the house; No one dared to defy Yan Shu's words openly, but in this way, even though there were fewer gossips, Yan Biyun's situation became even worse. He was originally a very popular person in Yan's mansion, but now everywhere he went, there were snorts and cold eyes. I look a little better.

These Yan Biyuns can be ignored, but Su Jin's decadent appearance made Yan Biyun very anxious, and sneaked in to persuade Su Jin twice, Su Jin seemed to have not heard, and was still the same; busy, anxious, worried, wronged, etc. With mixed emotions, Yan Biyun also fell ill.

At first I thought it was nothing serious, but unexpectedly I developed a high fever that night, my whole face was flushed with fever, and my condition suddenly became dangerous.

In the afternoon, the spring rain became heavier, and the green trees, flowers and plants in the yard were bathed in rainwater, and the whole house looked deserted and quiet.

The door slammed, breaking the quiet air. Zhao Hu came out of the wing room next to the hall with his mouth open, and came to the yard with his bamboo hat on, and shouted: "Here he is, who is it? very?"

Xiaoxian'er's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Brother Zhao, open the door quickly, I am Yanfu Xiaoxian'er."

Zhao Hu hurried to the door, opened the latch and let Xiao Xianer in. Xiao Xianer held an umbrella, half of her body was soaked, and asked anxiously, "Is Mr. Su there?"

Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "Yes, I am taking care of you in Rou Niang's room."

Xiao Xianer hurriedly said: "Take me to him quickly."

Zhao Hu closed the door and walked in, asking, "What's the matter? Miss Xianer's complexion is not very good."

Xiao Xian'er was still holding back, but when she asked this question, she suddenly burst into tears and said, "My miss... my miss is afraid she can't do it anymore, woo woo woo..."

Zhao Hu was dumbfounded, he was fine when he came here two days ago, how could this happen?Without waiting for further questioning, he hurriedly led Xiao Xian'er straight to the inner hall, shouting loudly: "My lord...Your lord...that's amazing..."[

After the second entrance, Zhao Hu's loud voice startled Xiaoxian'er and Huanniang who were accompanying Su Jin, Su Jin frowned and said, "What is this for? It's a surprise, what to do if you scare Rouniang ?”

Huanniang said: "I'll take a look at my slave's house." As soon as she got up to go out, the door of the room was opened with a bang, and a person rushed in wrapped in cool raindrops.

Su Jin turned around and was about to reprimand her, when a petite body threw herself into her arms and started to cry loudly: "Young master... hurry up and see Miss, she is going to die soon..."

Su Jin was startled, only then realized it was Xiao Xianer, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? What's the matter? What happened to your young lady?"

Xiao Xian'er cried: "I fell ill last night, my body was like burning coals, I asked a doctor to get medicine and drank it but it didn't get better, this morning I didn't even have the strength to speak, my eyes were closed, and I couldn't open them." ..."

Su Jin's body swayed, his eyes darkened, he almost fainted, he quickly collected himself, grabbed Xiao Xian'er's shoulder and said, "Why did you tell me earlier?"

"Miss won't let me, she said that sister Rouniang is like this, the young master is upset with himself, so don't let me disturb the young master..."

Su Jin rushed out without saying a word, Xiao Sui'er hurriedly said: "Young master, change into clothes, how do you go out, little maid will go with you..."

Su Jin turned a deaf ear, rushed out the door, turned back and said to Huan Niang: "You stay at home and take care of your sister, Sui Er and I will go and have a look."

Huanniang hurriedly said: "Master, don't be too anxious, nothing will happen, you can rest assured at home."

Su Jin patted her on the shoulder, turned around and went out, shouting in his mouth, "Dynasty...Ma Han...Little Zhuzi, set up the car...quickly set up the car..."

After a while, the two carriages rushed out of the alley and galloped towards Tianshuijing Alley in the heavy rain. Su Jin kept urging Xiaozhu to hurry up, and asked Xiao Xianer, who was in the same car, about the specific symptoms. Without hiding anything, he told all the words of Yan's family, Yan Biyun's hard work in the past few days, and his private worries about Su Jin.

Su Jin stretched out her hand and slapped herself hard, Xiao Xian'er was so frightened that she quickly grabbed Su Jin's arm, not knowing why.

"It's all my fault. I left everything in my hands. I didn't say anything about hurting Rou Niang, and even made your young lady worry about getting sick. Rou Niang is already like this. If your young lady has any troubles, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life." .”

Xiao Xianer quickly comforted Su Jin: "Miss doesn't blame you, she is just worried about you. Miss said that you are a kind person if you can treat Rou Niang like this. If the family property is given to an outsider, the young lady must be mad."

Su Jin gritted her teeth and said, "If something happens to your lady, I will not spare these people either."

……

Before the car came to a complete stop, Su Jin jumped down and rushed straight to Yan's mansion. The porter at the gate saw a guy with messy hair and beard rushing in blankly, and hurried up to stop him.

Su Jin stretched out her hand and almost fell the two porters, one of them opened his mouth to scold, but seeing Su Jin trot into the house, the two of them were in a hurry, cursing and chasing Xiao Xianer who followed closely, and scolded: "Do you have long eyes? That's Young Master Su. I haven't met him after so many visits."

The concierge hurriedly saluted Xiao Xian'er, and when Xiao Xian'er, Wang Chao Ma Han and others entered the house, they glanced at each other, and asked, "Is that Mr. Su?"

Another person said: "It seems to be, yes...it is indeed."

"Why does this picture look like this? He looks like a beggar with an unshaven beard, and he doesn't look glossy when he comes here on weekdays." [

"I don't know... It seems that something happened in the mansion. It's all in such a hurry. Several doctors have come."

"I'm afraid Master Yan is sick, come on...Let's keep an eye on the gate, don't ask too much."

Su Jin ran all the way, all the servants and maidservants of the Yan family dodged one after another, mud splashed all over his body, and the umbrella in his hand was thrown aside, and he didn't care about the dripping on his head and body.

When we arrived in front of Yan Biyun's small building, we saw the door of the building was wide open, and several maidservants were boiling medicine on a small clay stove in the hall, and the room was filled with the pungent smell of medicine.

Su Jin wiped the rain from his head and said loudly, "Where is Miss Yan?"

A little servant girl knew Su Jin, and hurriedly said: "Master Su, the young lady is upstairs, Doctor Xue from the east of the city is taking her pulse, and Master Yan is also here."

Su Jin went upstairs quickly, and opened Yan Biyun's door, only to see Yan Shu pacing in the room with a sad face, and an old man in Tsing Yi was twisting Yan Biyun's wrist, closing his eyes and signaling his pulse.

Seeing Yan Biyun's eyes closed tightly, dry lips, and blushing cheeks, Su Jin felt a sharp pain in his heart, and hurried forward and said, "Sister Yan, what's wrong with you? I'm here..."
