The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

It's not good enough to collect red tickets, I beg you to do more; the little officials are kneeling and licking.

##

Su Jin is sitting under the cool and pleasant grape arbor in the early morning. There are several plates of pastries and green tea on the small table in front of her. Recently, Su Jin likes to sit in the yard for a while in the early morning, not only for enjoying breakfast and soothing morning exercise. After the body, more importantly, Su Jin wanted to give herself the illusion that she was enjoying life.

It sounds pitiful, but it is indeed Su Jin's inner thoughts. During this period of time, he went to bed later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken, completely deviated from his original intention of enjoying life; of course he also understands that no matter where he wants to be comfortably The aloofness of the world is basically a dream, Su Jin just wants to live a happier life.

At this moment, he is very happy. The two sisters, Rou Niang and Huan Niang, who are sitting beside him, chatter about their opinions on a certain song card, and then suddenly jump to the change of clothes styles. This kind of warm atmosphere is exactly what Su Jin likes , Su Jin was soon infected and devoted himself to these topics.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and someone ran hurriedly through the aisle of the second entrance to the gate of the courtyard and shouted: "Young master, young master, something is wrong."

Su Jin was stunned for a moment, he recognized Yang Xiaosi's voice, this kid was helping out in a tailor shop recently, Su Jin once encouraged him to study hard, maybe he would be a big shopkeeper in the future, so he wandered around behind the buttocks of big shopkeeper Zhao when he had nothing to do , It's just that he is so flustered, could something serious happen?

"What are you panicking, come in and answer." Su Jin scolded, idlers were not allowed to enter Su Jin's yard, so Yang Xiaosi only dared to poke his head at the gate of the yard.

Yang Xiaosi trotted to Su Jin in a hurry, forgot to even salute, and hurriedly said: "My young master, you still have the heart to eat, there is a commotion at the door of the shop, shopkeeper Zhao and Zhang Da tell the villain to please You go now."

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "Damn, I was scolded by this kid after eating, why don't I just wait for something to happen if I don't eat?"

But he didn't have time to chat with him, so he quickly stood up and asked, "Be clear, what is it?"

Yang Xiaosi stomped his feet anxiously and said: "Hundreds of people came to return the clothes at the door of the shop, saying that Su Ji's clothes would shrink and fade after washing at home, and they would rot when they were pulled. Hundreds of people gathered around to watch the excitement."

Su Jin's heart skipped a beat, this is a fucking group vicious incident, this is a tricky matter.

……

Xiao Zhuzi got on the mule cart as quickly as possible, Rou Niang and Huan Niang insisted on going, saying that they had a part in designing the clothes, and maybe they could help explain, and Xiao Sui'er who heard the news also followed, Su Jin didn't have time to chatter with the three chicks, there was no room in the carriage, so he could only squeeze with Xiao Zhuzi and Yang Xiaosi on the extremely crowded shaft, climbing the carriage like a monkey, sitting on half of his buttocks and bumping all the way to the cloth shop and the ready-made clothing shop Go to the door.

From a distance, I saw a sea of ​​people crowded in front of my shop, as lively as the banks of the Feishui River where dragon boat races are held during the Dragon Boat Festival, or as if watching the performance of humans and snakes in the large tiles in Bianliang.

Su Jin frowned, this seems to be a big deal, there must be something strange about why so many people were invited to collectively return the goods early in the morning.

The hundred and ten people in the inner circle, holding a crumpled satin shirt in their hands, kept yelling: "Refund our hard-earned money, is it easy for us to save money on food and expenses? I was deceived by your Su Ji..."

"Yes, yes, return the money quickly. Is this what Su Ji does business? After washing this shirt, I immediately turned a blue shirt into a fucking mourning dress. Are you so deceitful? My father and mother are still alive, is this going to curse them to death or something?"

Amidst the noise, Su Jin saw the two old shopkeepers clasping their hands left and right, and comforted them to be safe and calm, and everything would be resolved naturally when the young boss came, but their voices seemed so weak that they were almost inaudible when they were drowned in the human voice .

What reassures Su Jin is that there are four or five strong men standing like iron towers at the entrances of the two shops, their muscles are tangled, and they look simple and big. These martial artists are respectful and responsible. Anyone who dares to take a step into the store will be hit head-to-head with a fist as big as a sand bowl.

Su Jin's car was recognized as soon as it arrived at the street corner, and people all made way for the mule cart to go straight to the open space in front of the store. Everyone looked at Su Jin who was half squatting and half sitting on the shaft of the car, as if they were watching A poor monkey.

When the two old shopkeepers saw Su Jin, their eyes lit up, as if seeing a savior, and greeted them; Su Jin didn't care about the etiquette, and immediately said: "What happened, why did it make such a big fuss?" movement."

Shopkeeper Zhao was so panicked that his beard was shaking, he hurriedly told Su Jin about the matter. It turned out that this morning, as soon as the tailor shop opened, two people came to the door with shrunken clothes and asked for a return. Shopkeeper Zhao saw that the clothes were indeed Su Jin's. The style and even the mark belonged to Su Ji, and I checked the sales registration to confirm that the two men had indeed ordered the two clothes in Su Ji on the seventh day of May.

Since there was something wrong with the clothes, the treasurer Zhao naturally couldn't be negligent, and compensated in every possible way, accepted the clothes, and refunded the money for the clothes in full.

This was originally a normal thing, Su Ji's warehouse also had defective fabrics, some master made two defective fabrics out of the wrong fabric and sold them, there would always be a few times in a year, it's not worth making a fuss about.

However, just after these two people went out, within an hour, more than 100 people gathered at once, all holding clothes in their hands and wanting to return them. Rotten and many other problems. They kept clamoring to quit without saying anything.

Shopkeeper Zhao Da and Zhang Da shopkeeper next door realized that this was not a simple return incident, so they hurriedly invited Su Jin here.

Su Jin's thoughts turned, the more he had to keep calm at this time, he had already smelled conspiracy from the two shopkeepers' narration.

The crowd watched Su Ji Shaodong and the two big shopkeepers whispering and discussing endlessly as soon as they arrived.

"Su Ji's style is really not small. Is the store bullying customers? They sold defective products and didn't even have an apology. It's really majestic and domineering..."

"From now on, everyone should stop shopping in Suji. People don't care about us. Fortunately, Suji doesn't open a pharmacy. If the family members are killed by fake medicines, there is no reason to justify them."

"Isn't Su Ji just a businessman? How dare you be so tyrannical? Ask Grandpa to tell you that everyone should send people to report to the officials. This will punish them for the crime of disrupting the market and defrauding the people..."

"That's right, send this straight girl thief in, pull up her pants and knock on two hundred boards..."

"...The butt of this young official from the Su family is very tender, isn't it beaten to pieces?"

"I'm bah... rotten or not, you don't need to..."

The words gradually evolved from an attack on Su Ji to an attack on Su Jin, and it became more and more unbearable, Yang Xiaosi and Xiao Zhuzi quit, they jumped and scolded: "Go to your mother's wicked mouth, eat shit? Didn’t you see that our young master is trying to understand the situation? Who the hell doesn’t have a clean mouth, I drag him out and throw him into the latrine, and tell him to spray shit for the rest of his life.”

The servants of the big family naturally have an invisible sense of superiority, and the two of them scolded with furious eyebrows, suppressing the noise; but the people onlookers all shook their heads, looking at Su Ji's domineering style, Selling a fake product but not admitting it, and cursing and threatening the street like a shrew, the good impression she had built on Su Ji disappeared immediately.

Distraught, Su Jin signaled Yang Xiaosi and Xiao Zhuzi to back off, forced himself to smile and walked towards the crowd, cupping his hands together and said: "Fathers and folks, Su Jin has been negligent, here is an apology, the sun is scorching on this hot day It’s all dripping oil, why bother to stay under the big sun? The shop is too small and can’t accommodate so many of you, how about this, whoever is tired from standing can sit in the shop and have a rest with a drink of tea?”

Everyone looked at the tower-like door gods at the entrance of the shop, and thought to themselves: I am a fool when I enter the shop and let your subordinates toss about it, it is better to be safe under the sun.

Be bolder and shout in front of Su Jin: "Mr. Su, don't talk about those who don't listen to you. What do you say about us being deceived?"

Su Jin tried his best to see something from the faces of these people, but the anger on the faces of these people really didn't make sense; Su Jin took the clothes from a man waving them, Looking carefully, the style is generally the same as the improved style newly designed by the house. What is more striking is the word 'Su Ji' embroidered on two white silks on the corner of the underwear, which makes Su Jin speechless.

Seeing Su Jin's expression, the group of people became arrogant and yelled, swearing and swearing endlessly. Su Jin tried his best to endure, and clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Everyone's eyes contained various emotions such as contempt, pity, curiosity, gloating, etc., and they were all thinking about how this little son of Su Ji should deal with this situation.

Su Jin took everyone's emotions into his eyes, even the disappointment of the two old shopkeepers behind him. He thought that Su Jin had many tricks and his arrival would solve the problem, but he was just as helpless. Today, there is only one way to return the goods; the loss is minor, and Su Ji's reputation in Luzhou City will be completely ruined after this ordeal. After returning to the original, for a while, everyone's hearts were shrouded in gloom, and they were extremely gloomy.

Su Jin sighed, and was about to tell the guys to let everyone return the goods, when suddenly he saw the floral curtain of the Su family's mule cart lifted, and a delicate figure stepped out of the cart, walking straight towards Su Jin.

The chattering crowd suddenly fell silent, staring blankly at the delicate figure passing by, and fell into a daze with their mouths open without knowing it for a while.
