Xiao Sui'er entered the door ahead of time, and put Su Jin into the backyard through the small door. Su Jin looked at Xiaobie's house all day and night, and suddenly realized how kind it all was; It's not so eye-catching, and the croaking voice of the old raven seems to be less difficult to hear than before.

The Rouniang Huanniang sisters, who knew the inside story, were frightened all night. When they first saw Su Jin coming back, they couldn't help but look around, and tears poured down when they saw Su Jin's distressed appearance.

Su Jin sighed, it turns out that being cared by others is really a happy thing, so I don't want to say anything at the moment, I just pat the two of them on the shoulders to comfort them.

Xiao Sui'er said: "My lord, quickly take a bath and change clothes. Before going out, I have to go to the old lady's side to say hello. Last night and this morning, the lady came to the backyard to ask several times. We only said that we were going to the manor outside the city to check it out. The crops are growing."

Su Jin couldn't laugh or cry: "Is anyone watching the crops growing at night? Get some warm water quickly, in case Niang comes in suddenly, but I can't tell."

Rouniang and Huanniang hurriedly wiped away their tears, and followed Xiaosuier and Xiaomier to boil the water, and those who took the clothes took the clothes, and prepared the mugwort leaf water for Su Jin to remove the mold.

After a lot of busy work, Su Jin finally returned to the appearance of the young master, who was full of fragrance, flushed on the face, black hair, and so handsome that even the girl and girl dared not look directly at her.

Next, I went to Mrs. Wang's room to ask An to explain. When I left the house, nearly half an hour had passed. Su Jin felt a little uncomfortable for making Bao Zheng, Li Chong, Yan Biyun and others wait in Hefeng Tower for such a long time. I'm sorry, none of those three people is more noble than myself, a Su Xiaoguan, and they are kind to me, so I can't delay any longer.

In order to hurry up, Xiao Zhuzi whipped the big green mule's buttocks all over. This green mule has suffered a lot since he changed his temper from Su Xiaoguan. He ran around every day and was whipped. Gone are the days of planting nests under the shade of locust trees, ruminating on forage, and admiring other mules who were whipped to death.

……

Chatting and laughing happily in the elegant hall of Hefeng Building, Mr. Bao, Yan Biyun, Li Chong and the others did not sit down at all because they were waiting for Su Jin, on the contrary, the three of them reminisced about the old days and actually found something to do with each other.

Bao Zheng and Yan Biyun had known each other before, and the imperial court did not allow cliques, so even though Yan Shu recommended Bao Zheng to be a state official, Bao Zheng and Yan Shu could only be discussed as superior or subordinate officials, but they could never claim to be students or Disciple, otherwise it will be a disaster of forming a party for personal gain; in view of this, Yan Biyun can only call Bao Zheng Master Bao, and he can't even call him Uncle Shi in public, but at this time he has no scruples, "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi" Quite fluent.

Li Chong and Bao Zheng went round and round seven or eight times, and finally they found a line of relatives. Specifically, the second aunt of Bao Zheng's deceased wife Zhang's cousin's husband's family was Li Chong's mother's aunt. , The people around this discovery were sweating profusely, and they didn't know how to call each other after a long time.

As soon as Su Jin was seated, he heard this tongue twister, and thought dumbfoundingly: "Is this the same way people in the Song Dynasty dated relatives? Fu has distant relatives in the mountains. If Mr. Bao was an ordinary citizen, I am afraid Li Chong would not spend so much effort to marry each other even if he was beaten to death." .”

"Why make it so complicated? Isn't it just to tell about the origin? There is the nearest origin in front of you, why go far away?" Su Jin drank two cups of yellow buds from Yan Biyun's collection, and said with a smack.

"Oh? What origin?" Bao Zheng still likes to gossip when he's not talking about business.

"Didn't Mr. Bao just get promoted from the post of Tianchang County? Our Mr. Li, Ding You, is going to take up the post of Tianchang County Magistrate when his term expires in autumn. After going back and forth, the two adults successively serve as parents' officials in the same county. Isn't it Yuan Yuan?"

"That's right, how could I forget this, damn it." Li Zhong beat his head and blamed himself.

Bao Zheng was very interested, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is Mr. Li the next county magistrate of my Tianchang?"

Li Chong got up and saluted: "The official appointment document of the Ministry of Officials has been issued, but there are still a few months before Ding You, so I dare not exceed the ceremony."

Bao Zheng said happily: "Very good, very good, that's just right, I have a few unfinished things to tell Mr. Li, if Mr. Li thinks it can be carried forward, how about helping me to complete it?"

Li Chongdao: "If you dare not obey orders, please tell me, my lord."

Bao Zheng said excitedly: "One of these is water conservancy. After I took office, I spent several years clearing silt and building dams, digging ponds and opening canals to ensure that the people have water for irrigation in times of drought and flood drainage in times of floods. Disaster reduction has also been quite effective.”

Li Chong leaned his body and clapped his hands: "Okay, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. My lord, this is for the benefit of the people."

"However, farmland water conservancy is not a one-day effort, and it consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources. In view of this, this officer..." Bao Zheng began to talk about it one, two, three, and four.

Su Jin was extremely annoyed when he heard it, and at the beginning he even added a few sentences, but in the end it meant nothing at all, and the old and the young were still chattering unabated and eloquent.

Su Jin took a look at Yan Biyun, saw a trace of naughtiness in Yan Biyun's eyes, and hated him; originally wanted to ask Mr. Bao what dish he likes most, what color he likes most, and whether it is bleached Face, what are the criteria for choosing a mate, etc., to satisfy the dream of chasing stars when I was young, but I didn't expect this ending. Seeing that the two of them didn't talk about the dark, it would be impossible.

Su Jin drank the wine helplessly, and the delicious food of Hefenglou became as dull as dry grass and dry wood when it was delivered to his mouth.

"It's stuffy, isn't it?" Blowing into his ears like blue, it was Yan Biyun who leaned over and whispered to him.

Su Jin's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glanced at her chest, and quickly looked away before Yan Biyun rolled his eyes, and suddenly remembered that Yan Biyun had contributed a lot this time, and he hadn't thanked her yet.

"It's okay, Mr. Bao was originally invited to have fun. Isn't it a good thing that he talked with Brother Li?" Su Jin said softly.

The two came and went softly, as if they were whispering.

Yan Biyun realized this, sat upright, blushed and said: "Today's incident is to teach you a lesson, will it teach you to act recklessly next time? If Master Bao is not here, it will be a troublesome matter. "

Su Jin said sincerely: "I know, my arms can't twist my thighs, not to mention my small arms are so thin. Thank you for your efforts this time, otherwise I will suffer a lot in prison."

Yan Biyun smiled and said, "If I had known that Mr. Bao would make a move, I wouldn't need to do so much. As long as you are wronged, Mr. Bao will have his own way to clear up your grievances."

Su Jin nodded and said: "Master Bao is very discerning and has sharp eyes. How can the tricks of the younger generation escape Bao Qingtian's discerning eyes." As he spoke, he glanced at Bao Zheng, wanting to see if Master Bao heard his flattery.

That fair and clean Bao Zheng felt awkward no matter how he looked at it. He was talking to Li Chong at the moment, and he toasted each other with food. It's flattering.

Su Jin was so depressed that she wanted to die, and if she didn't want to pull these two back and let them have a good time, they would not stop.

"Miss Yan, I heard from Sui'er that this time you spent a hundred taels of silver to protect me from the jailer's persecution. I'm thinking about how to repay your favor."

Yan Biyun murmured softly, "Do you still have to pay?"

Su Jin didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Yan Biyun smiled and said, "What is money? As long as you are safe."

Su Jin thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll give you a choice, do you want me to pay back the money, or do you want me to help you with an idea?"

Yan Biyun thought about it seriously and said, "My family wants it all."

Su Jin's heart fluttered for a while, as if someone asked: "Do you want my people or my heart?"

The man replied, "I want both your people and your heart."

The typical way of being cute and seductive, Su Jin wanted to say something, but her throat was very dry, and it took a long time for her to return to normal. He told her in detail an idea that he had already tailored for Yan Biyun.

……

Xiao Sui'er, Xiao Xian'er, and the others who were standing in the hall were a little dumbfounded. There were four people at a table, and they were chatting in full swing. Public security, taxation, roads, bridges, etc. in the county; the two bosses here are talking and drawing, and what is out of season, what is greenhouse vegetables, what is the light, temperature, humidity, etc., none of which can be understood.

Although Xiao Xian'er and Xiao Sui'er are not quite right, they are also fighting against each other at this moment. These people have poured wine and food by themselves, why do you want us maids here?Xiao Xian'er and Xiao Sui'er couldn't see Su Jin and Yan Biyun having a lively conversation when they met each other the most.

At a glance, I saw that the masters and servants from all families were full of food and drink, and they were resting in the cool and ventilated place in the courtyard either sitting or lying down. Xiaoxian was so angry that she put her hips on her hips and said, "Go outside to cool off. Think this is a bath house?"

A group of attendants are puzzled, this little lady has a language problem, can she wear clothes in the bathhouse?
