The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(Thanks to A Liang 01 book friend for the monthly ticket, I will add a new chapter for you)

The lobby of Tongfu Inn had already been lit up, and the shopkeeper didn’t think it was because Shime was so lucky today. After seven or eight guests came in, they gave him a lot of money, but Shime didn’t want it. Drink two pots of tea and sit there dryly; the only request is not to ask anything, don't bother me.

The shopkeeper was happy and leisurely, so he ordered Xiaoer to take good care of him, and Ziji made a pot of wine and hid behind the counter, eating and drinking with gusto." ".

Su Jin stepped into the lobby, and the shopkeeper treated Su Jin well. This merchant from the south paid ten times the price to live in Ziji's shop. He was a worry-free guest; so he quickly got up and saluted and asked, "What do you need, my little official?"

Su Jin glanced at the lobby, and saw seven or eight big men occupying the two tables on both sides of the door, with a few teacups on the tables, looking at Ziji eagerly; seeing Su Jin glanced over, those people quickly lowered their heads They pretended to talk to each other in a blink of an eye, their behavior was very suspicious.

"Give me a pot of good tea, and then go out and get me some delicious snacks. The food in your shop is not to your taste." Su Jin sneered secretly, and turned her eyes to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper agreed wholeheartedly, and asked, "Do you want some shime dim sum?"

Su Jin asked Ali: "Do you like shime dim sum? Ask the shopkeeper to buy it."

Ari thought for a while and said, "I don't know if there is honey in Huizhou. Are there any meat muffins?"

Su Jin asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have this pancake?"

The shopkeeper wondered: "The kind of cake your little lady ordered is really delicious, I've never heard of it before."

Ah Li blushed and spat: "Don't talk nonsense, shopkeeper, I'm not his... little... little lady."

The shopkeeper opened his mouth wide open and apologized again and again, thinking: Obviously Xiao Er said that he slept in this small official's room when he saw you with his own eyes, so they are not husband and wife?The world is getting worse and people's hearts are not old. Don't women nowadays regard chastity as nothing?

Su Jin smiled and said: "Yes, she is not my wife, she is my little sister, please don't get me wrong; you just said that there is the best dim sum in Shime in this city."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "That's a lot, there are pine nut cakes from Ziyun Pavilion, five-spice cashew bean paste cakes from Liufangzhai, sesame Nantang from Wanpinju, two-color horseshoe crisps, and horse milk dragon whiskers." Crisp, and..."

The shopkeeper's eloquence was endless, Su Jin quickly stopped and said, "Okay, okay, just order a portion when you see it, and let my little sisters have a taste."

Li Ali gave Su Jin a white look, and thought: Who is your little girl; but she has not eaten a meal, she is indeed a little hungry at the moment, when she heard the names of these snacks, her appetite suddenly came up, and she no longer politely declined.

"Do you want everything? There are more than a dozen kinds, and they are expensive. A box of Liufangzhai's five-spice cashew nut bean paste cake costs [-] yuan. A set of these dozen kinds costs at least a dozen yuan. "

Su Jin smiled and said: "Are you afraid that I have no money? Don't worry, even if I have no money, someone will pay the bill for me."

The shopkeeper said: "Who can pay the bill for you?"

Su Jin pointed to the seven or eight big men on the two tables and said, "They, they will definitely pay the bill for me."

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, this little official has never met him before, is he being taken advantage of?What a joke.

Su Jin laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, come and listen to me, they will definitely agree to me." After speaking, he took Li Ali's hand and walked towards the table on the right.

Seeing Su Jin walking towards this side in a daze, several big men at the table panicked and unconsciously twisted their bodies. Two of them put their hands on the long black cloth wrapped on the stool beside them. Needless to say, there is a weapon in there.

Su Jin cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I invite you, please be polite."

The four people at the table hurriedly returned the salute.

"Guys, my little girl wants to eat dim sum in the city, but I don't have the money to buy it. Can you guys lend me some money to make this little girl's wish come true?" Su Jinxiao asked.

The few people looked at each other at a loss; Su Jin said: "I can tell you, my little girl has poor food in this shop, Yijing hasn't eaten three meals, if you guys refuse to help, she will starve to death."

Everyone rolled their eyes, and the shopkeeper said in his heart: "It turns out that this guy looks like a gentle scholar, but he is actually a fool. Your sister starved to death without eating, and she did something stupid? It will definitely lead to ridicule and scolding." .”

But to the shopkeeper's surprise, the group of people did not reprimand Su Jin for being abrupt, but looked at each other, and finally cast their eyes intentionally or unintentionally on a table in a dark corner, a thin man was lying on the table alone Take a nap and seem indifferent.

Su Jin felt Li Ari's little hand tremble, as if he had discovered the shime. Su Jin carefully observed the person lying on the table, and suddenly he seemed to be a little shime.

"It seems that you guys are not willing to help, so I have to find someone else, hey! You guys, seeing my cute and beautiful little girl starving to death, you don't have the slightest sympathy... "Su Jin was talking nonsense, but he walked towards the table in the corner.

Seven or eight big men stood up nervously, staring at Su Jin, as if they were about to explode immediately.

As if Su Jin didn't realize it, he went to the man's table, reached out and knocked on the table and said, "Brother, wake up, wake up."

The man on the table raised his head, with a sallow complexion and a few strands of mustache; Su Jin glanced at his ear, and suddenly realized that this is a sharp tool for Huanniang to teach Ziji to distinguish women disguised as men, and you can dress it up however you want. The earrings on the ears can't be removed, and most people don't care about it.

"Brother Taiwan is so sleepy, you can sleep even if it's so noisy here." Su Jin smiled.

The man said roughly, "What are you doing?"

Su Jin said: "It's not my business, but if you don't keep your promise, you will do my business."

The man was startled and said, "I didn't know you were talking about shime."

Su Jin sneered and said, "Crazy woman, will I not recognize you if you wear men's clothing? Yeli Duanyun, you broke the agreement between us, and I decided to implement the punishment I said immediately."

Yeli Duanyun saw that the disguise was seen through, he stood up abruptly and said, "How dare you!"

Seven or eight big men in Zhouwei drew out their weapons and surrounded Su Jin and the others. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he almost peed on his pants. He didn't know what was going on. These people were tea drinkers just now, and they drew their swords in a blink of an eye. Faced with each other, the shopkeeper hurriedly got under the table while chanting Buddha, holding his head and praying for God's mercy, so as not to harm himself.

Su Jin smiled and said: "Everyone, don't get excited. If you get excited, Miss Ari's little neck will be broken. Don't regret it later."

Ye Li Duanyun tore off his beard, stretched out his sleeves and wiped his face indiscriminately, regaining his original appearance, and shouted at all the big men in Zhouwei: "Stand down, a bunch of idiots, if you didn't show your feet, how could he know that I am here? here."

Everyone backed away in embarrassment, but the weapons in their hands were still pointing at Su Jin and others.

Su Jin pulled Ari to sit at the table and said coldly: "Crazy woman, you are not doing this properly. Are you trying to force me to be unfavorable to Miss Ari? I knew you wanted to kill someone with a knife. Miss Ari, I'm right, your cousin doesn't treat you very well, she wished that you would be stripped naked by me and thrown into the street, her heart is so vicious, it's hard for you to take risks for her, it's sad and lamentable."

"Put... that fart!" Yeli Duanyun fennu swears: "Grandma is just afraid that you will be bad for Ari, so she sent someone to protect him secretly. Ari don't listen to his nonsense, Song Zhu has nothing good to say, I But I didn’t disturb the government, and I did a good job of prevaricating with my aunt, and the people here are all my ziji’s companions, I’m worried that you will be rude by this kid.”

Li Ah Li said: "Cousin, I know, you don't have to listen to his nonsense, this man doesn't have a single word of truth."

Ye Li Duanyun said: "How are you? They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Li Ahli said: "I'm fine, but they're not too bad."

Ye Li Duanyun looked at Li Ari's hair and said suddenly: "Why are you unkempt? What's wrong with your hair? You're disheveled, don't tell me you were yijing by them..."

Li Ali blushed and spat: "Cousin, you are talking nonsense again, I don't know how to comb my hair, so this young man helped me comb a hairstyle popular in Song Dynasty. I knew it didn't look good, but I don't know how to comb my hair." .”

Ye Li Duanyun pointed at Su Jin in astonishment and said, "You... help Ah Li... comb her hair?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "It's just a mere handwriting, how about it? Is it okay?"

Yeli Duanyun laughed and said, "Damn! What you combed is called shime. I warn you, don't take advantage of this opportunity. How can you touch a woman's hair? Ari, don't let him do it next time." Touching one of your fingers, these men are very dirty, maybe they have a bad idea."

Ah Li blushed and nodded, what the cousin said was indeed right, this man admitted that he went to a brothel last night, so it was naturally a dirty thing.

Su Jin smiled and said, "Can't you even touch your hair? Then if you touch other vital parts, wouldn't the woman want to seek death?"

Ye Liduanyun said: "That's natural."

Su Jin tilted her head and asked with a smile, "Then why are you still alive?"

Ye Li Duanyun realized that this hateful person was making a fuss about Ziji's chest attack yesterday. Yes, Ziji was pinched by this guy yesterday. Hanged himself?

Su Jin looked at Yeli Duanyun's awkward mouth opening, and almost went crazy with joy. No wonder so many people like to flirt in front of women. It turns out that molesting women is so enjoyable. If this continues, Ziji will become a standard nympho up.
