The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

After five days and five nights of traveling, Su Jin finally arrived at his mansion in Mingzhu City on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. The whole family, wives, concubines, young and old, were looking forward to Su Jin's return, and there was a burst of joy.

When Su Jin arrived home, he was about to collapse, his cheeks were thin and deformed, and the beards on his upper and lower jaws were also messy. He looked like he had suffered a serious illness, which made Yan Biyun and others feel so distressed that they almost cried .

Throughout the New Year, Su Jin thanked guests behind closed doors. Apart from being with his wives and concubines and family members on weekdays, he closed his doors and meditated quietly. After these two months of war experience, his whole temperament has also changed greatly. There is also some faint unhappiness.

Yan Biyun was sensitive to this, and she also understood why, but besides comforting, what could she do?Su Jin is regretting that she has caused many innocent soldiers to die in Huangquan. Although Yan Biyun also thinks that Su Jin has done a little too much, but from Su Jin's standpoint, she has to admit that Su Jin has a good reason for doing so. .

After several enlightenments, Su Jin also gradually calmed down. He could only convince himself that he could not help himself. Even if he felt guilty, if he returned to the battlefield, Su Jin would still make the same choice. [

During the New Year,

Yan Biyun hurriedly signaled him to stop making trouble, but Zhao Zhen didn't take it seriously, bent over and touched Hu'er's little face and said: "Okay, I will naturally make you an official, father and son of the tiger, you will be as big as your father in the future After Song Jiang made great achievements, he made you the official of Captain Yunqi, do you agree?"

Hu'er said: "Is this official big? Is he as powerful as my father?"

Zhao Zhen laughed loudly and said, "You are more prestigious than your father, so you are satisfied now."

Hu'er cheered happily, causing everyone to laugh. Zhao Zhen straightened up, looked around and said loudly: "My Great Song Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and I have never been so elated. You all have contributed a lot. I hope that my Great Song Dynasty will have a few more people." Su Jin, why are you afraid of the two tigers in the northwest? You all have to work hard. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the Song Dynasty become more powerful, surpass other countries, and become a country where all nations come to court. If so, I will not Bearing the great trust of the ancestors, you have also done your best as ministers, and your name has been left in the history books."

All the ministers said in unison: "I would like to follow the instructions of the emperor, and I will do my best until I die."

Zhao Zhen took Su Jin's hand and took the same car into the city. Su Jin tried his best to resign, but Zhao Zhen insisted on pulling Su Jin into the car. Su Jin had to stand aside, not daring to sit up. You can't be fooled, and Zhao Zhen's mind is unpredictable, who knows what his real thoughts are.

The ministers accompanied the crowd, and the common people walked along the road. The name of Su Jin was already well-known in the capital, and gossip had already spread, saying that Su Jin would go straight to the central government this time and replace the old minister in the court. In the future, he must be the future prime minister. Refusing to let go of the opportunity to pay their respects to this legendary figure, cheers filled his ears along the way, which can be described as the ultimate scenery.

Zhao Zhen looked at all this with a smile, glanced at Su Jin's reaction from the corner of his eye, but saw that Su Jin looked calm and stood aside with his head down, as if he was thinking.
