The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

It's three o'clock! <I had a dream and fell asleep in the dark, and only woke up in the evening; there was no one in the room, and the faint scent of sandalwood permeated the nose. Looking up, the shade of the trees was dancing outside the green screen window, and the sun was shining through the screen curtain. The dots of light, although still golden and shining, seemed less dazzling.

Su Jin was startled to realize that she was sleeping in the Hefeng Building, and suddenly she was a little dazed. She always slept in someone else's house, and it was a single woman's place. If this continues, it may damage the reputation of others.

Su Jin got up to tidy up his clothes, and Xiao Sui'er, who had already woken up outside, pushed the door open and came in when he heard the movement, "Master, you're awake."

Su Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise and said: "Why did I drink too much again, I didn't say anything excessive, and I didn't do anything wrong."

Xiao Sui'er looked at him with a strange expression, and for a long time Fang pursed his mouth and said contemptuously: "Young master almost slept with his arms around Yan Dong's family, and asked if he had done anything wrong."

Su Jin quickly stepped forward to cover her mouth, looked around in panic, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, this is in someone's house, and it is spread to tell Yandong's family how to behave."

Xiao Sui'er pushed his palm away and said: "My lord can do it, but the little maid can't say it?"

Su Jin had nothing to do with her, and she really didn't know what was holding her, so she pulled Xiao Sui'er out of the elegant hall in the backyard and walked outside.

Xiao Sui'er murmured: "Just leave like this? Hold him all afternoon without even saying hello?"

Su Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said in a low voice: "Sister nainai, can you stop talking nonsense? Let's talk about it when we get home. You can go to Yan Dong's family to say goodbye to me, just say that drunken trouble is not very grateful."

Xiao Sui'er said: "I knew I was the one to go. When the strength of wine came up, I covered my face with wine. When the strength of wine went down, I used my maidservant to shield the arrows. Hmph."

Su Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a straight face: "Sui Er, if you don't go, I will go to say goodbye by myself. How can there be so many words? This is too uneducated. I am also your master anyway, so why don't you stay?" Sensitive, I know what I did after I was drunk? I have been pointing at Sang Huai for a long time, not to mention that I, Su Jin, taught you the virtue of going out in the future."

Xiao Sui'er knew in her heart that she was talking too much. The young master has a good temper, but when he gets anxious, he is also a master who can slap people with bricks and bricks. But when he thought of pushing the door and entering, he saw Su Jin hugging Yan Biyun's neck, with his head hunched over. The sight of Yan Biyun drooling from sleep in her arms made her angry all the time.

Yan Biyun is a woman, so she will not take the initiative to tease the young master, it must be his own young master pretending to be drunk to take advantage of it; this is premeditated, otherwise why would he drink himself cup after cup when he knows that he is not good enough? Recruited.

"My lord, you can go by yourself, but the maidservant can't go, I bumped into Dong Yan's house, how could he want to see me?" Xiao Sui'er rolled her eyes and said.

"What did you bump into? Tell me clearly." Su Jin took Xiao Sui'er's small arm, staggered and dragged her under a clump of banana leaves and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Sui'er twisted her arms and legs and refused to say, Su Jin got angry, kicked the lump of dirt away, and said angrily: "Tomorrow, you go to the old lady's place to serve, sir, I don't have time to vent my anger with you, it's really inexplicable. "

Xiao Sui'er was taken aback, and just about to speak, she heard a sound of "Ai Ya" from the other end of the banana tree. Su Jin was startled, and hurriedly leaned over to look, only to see Xiao Xian'er grinning with her ankles behind the banana tree He frowned in pain.

Before he understood what was going on, Xiao Sui'er gloated behind him and said, "Talk for tat, last time I broke our young master's forehead, but now he eavesdropped and got his ankle smashed, God has eyes, Amitabha."

Xiaoxian'er's secret was exposed, she blushed with a 'hum', turned around and left, Su Jin hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, say goodbye to your lady, and say that I will take care of her for one afternoon. I'm here to thank you."

Xiao Sui'er pulled Su Jin's sleeve and said, "Let's go... Do you think she will bring the letter for you?"

Su Jin had no choice but to pack up his mood and go out and board the mule cart to go back home. In the carriage, he played hard and soft, and finally found out what happened in the afternoon; he regretted it in his heart at that time: stupid, stupid, the beauty is sleeping next to him. Like a pig, it's no wonder that when I woke up, there was a strange fragrance lingering around my nose and neck, and I thought it was sandalwood.

Su Jin couldn't help but picture herself in between Yan Biyun's mounds with her mouth open, her whole body drooling, she couldn't be more regretful, if she had any sanity, she would be slapped a few times I also want to take a sip on the acacia beans.

Will she slap me?Su Jin is immersed in lust and cannot extricate herself; is she willing?

……

In the back hall of Luzhou Mansion Yamen, a group of owners of the chamber of commerce were sullenly scolded by Zhu Shiyong, and Mr. Zhu was obviously so angry that he didn't eat lunch, causing several owners to starve with him; The skinny President Tang is fine, Vice President Liu and Vice President Huang are both fat, round, and eat a lot of people. After tossing around in the morning, their stomachs are already rumbling with hunger, and their eyes are full of hunger. There are golden flowers coming out, and I can't hold it anymore.

Zhu Shiyong scolded endlessly: "Sad! How sad! A group of people who are hundreds of years old together have been fooled by a stinky brat, and they have to apologize publicly. They are ashamed; this matter is designated to be passed on to the Jingli, when I go to Lu Xiangfu to congratulate Mrs. Lu on her birthday next month, I will definitely be scolded bloody for this matter, and I will be pissed off."

Vice President Huang opened his blue eyes from hunger and said weakly: "My lord, calm down, this matter is still in the hands of Bao Zheng, if he hadn't meddled in his own business, he would have taken that boy Su Jin down this time. "

"Bah, you still have the guts to say it." Zhu Shiyong said angrily, "The loophole is so obvious. This is putting your face in front of Bao Zheng and asking him to slap him. Can he not slap him? He is the old thief Yan, and he wants to be my official." If you make a mistake, you will pull my pigtails."

"My lord, why don't you try to force that Bao Zheng out? This is not Bao Zheng's territory, how can you allow him to act wild?" President Liu said.

"President Liu is not very old, but he has a bad ear. Haven't you heard that Bao Zheng is also the 'Tian Zhong Cheng'? He is the emperor's eyes and ears. Can I, a small state official, openly drive him away? What a joke." Zhu Shiyong's words became more and more bitter and mean, and the presidents frowned when they heard this, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.

Vice President Huang said: "My lord, calm down, it's useless to get angry now, you have to think of a way. This time, Su Jin is so complacent, isn't he going to ride on the head of my chamber of commerce in the future? This matter What to do, I still need an adult to make up my mind."

"What should I do? Cold salad!" Zhu Shiyong said angrily, "Do you want me, the magistrate, to come forward to help you settle the dispute between your merchants? Then I have too many things in my hands, so you should think of a way to do it yourself."

Tang Jiyuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, couldn't hold back any longer, coughed and said: "Lord Zhu, you can't say that. The Chamber of Commerce has always been protected by the prefect, and I am grateful; but having said that, the Chamber of Commerce is alright, my lord. Aren't you proud of yourself? Once the chamber of commerce collapses, can you be your official with peace of mind, my lord?"

The two vice presidents secretly vented their anger. Only President Tang dared to say these words. Zhu Zhifu seemed to keep himself out of the matter. How could President Tang let him get away? Don't be confused.

Zhu Shiyong was furious, pointed at Chairman Tang's nose and said, "You..."

President Tang didn't let him stare at Zhu Shiyong's small eyes, and said calmly, "What about me?"

Zhu Shiyong sighed, his arms drooped weakly, he slumped on the chair, and stopped talking.It is true that it is impossible to separate the relationship now. I have done a lot of illegal activities with the chamber of commerce. It's not enough to ransack your home and behead your head; besides, President Tang has a big backer in the capital that he can't offend. It was because of this relationship that he had no choice but to partner with the Chamber of Commerce.

I think that when I came to Luzhou with my family in the prime of life, I vowed to be a good official who pleads for the people. After becoming like this, the original dream has been shattered into thousands of pieces of rubble, and there is no going back.

Thinking of this, Zhu Shiyong couldn't help sighing again, and actually burst into tears.
