The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The two of them talked about the lingering love, time flies by like a shuttle, and they don't realize that it's the end of the day. The two got out of the car hand in hand and stood side by side by the lake to watch the sunset fall in the west. The evening photo is magnificent and beautiful, and the lake's surface is full of colorful clouds. Yan Biyun and Su Jin's bodies were radiant like immortals.

Yan Biyun reached out and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, and gently opened it to reveal a piece of snow-white and crystal-clear beautiful jade pendant with a colorful necklace. Su Jin recognized that this was the big three-yuan jade pendant. When he took a closer look, he saw a faint crack in the jade.

"Do you still want this piece of jade, Mr. Lang? There was a little scar when it fell on the ground that day, but fortunately it was not torn apart." Yan Biyun sighed.

Su Jin smiled and said, "I have been waiting for this waist since this big three-yuan jade pendant."

Yan Biyun glanced at Su Jin gracefully and said, "I don't know how many beautiful jades can be hung around the belt, so don't coax me."

Su Jin smiled and said, "Three thousand ladles of weak water are enough."

Yan Biyun poked his forehead with a slender finger and said, "Don't tell such lies, how about Rouniang? How about Huanniang? I don't know how many there will be in the future."

Su Jin was stunned and speechless. In front of a woman like Yan Biyun, I really couldn't say anything about it. Everyone knew that it was a luxury for a woman in this era to enjoy a single love. Even Su Jin was like this. Those who came from later generations have never stopped hunting for beauty, not to mention that Yan Biyun knew that no matter his age or status, he was somewhat unworthy of Su Jin, and he couldn't ask Su Jin what to do.

Su Jin also knew that she couldn't leave Huanniang and Rouniang behind. She had promised in front of the two sisters that she was more hateful than Huaxin Carrot; so she was naturally silent.

Su Jin knew that Yan Biyun had been ill for a long time. At the end of August, the temperature difference between morning and evening was too large to allow Yan Biyun to stand in the wind for a long time, so he said, "Let's go back to where you and Master Yan live?"

Yan Biyun said: "Yingtianfu has my family's property, so I naturally live in the east of the city and in Fenglou, my uncle lives in the official post, there are many officials who come and go there, it is not suitable for my family to live in."

Su Jin said: "How will I send you off like this? Tomorrow, I will take a day off and let's go out and play together."

Yan Biyun rolled his eyes at him and said: "Have you heard the words just now? You and I can only deal with each other in secret because Tianfu is a big place. Here, the prefect Tang Jie and his uncle don't get along very well. On the surface, he is amiable. In reality, this Tang Jie lord It's a member of King Teng's faction who has a lot to do with Lu Xiang in the court, how can we not be careful; I'll take you back to your residence anyway, I'm staying with you in Yingtian, so I recognize your residence. I miss you, so I will see you at night and you say okay? ?”

Seeing that there was pleading in her tone, Su Jin was a little depressed at first, but then he felt relieved. Yan Biyun was thoughtful, and she was originally a virtuous and filial woman who cared about other people's feelings. How could she embarrass her? Besides, Su Jin could see the things Yan Biyun said. His Royal Highness Teng Wang looked like that, and he was not a person to provoke, and Tang Jie, who talked Pi Liyang Qiu, was not afraid of himself, but it would be wrong to hurt the Yan family.

Su Jin suddenly remembered something and said: "I live in a rented house in Nancheng, but there is a Mr. Xia from the capital who rents a house with me. Mr. Xia's father seems to be a high-ranking person, maybe you will know him. .”

Yan Biyun frowned and said, "Is your surname Xia? What's your name?"

Su Jin said: "The name Xia Silin seems to be a false name."

Yan Biyun said, "Pseudonym? How do you know?"

Su Jin immediately told the scene of meeting this Mr. Xia, and Yan Biyun looked at Su Jin strangely after listening.

Su Jin smiled and said, "What are you doing looking at me like that?"

Yan Biyun said: "Since you know she is a woman disguised as a man, why do you live in the same house with him? I am afraid that you have ulterior motives."

Su Jin called out to bump Tianqu and stomped his feet: "I have never thought of this kind of conscience. It's just that I came here in a hurry the next day. I really need to find a place to settle down. Besides, Xia Silin is arguing with me." It’s just a compromise to make trouble, so there’s no intention.”

Yan Biyun said with a 'puchi' laugh: "Just pretend that you are telling the truth, even though you don't think so, Miss Xia may have seen you, but I don't know."

Su Jin stretched out his hand to embrace Yan Biyun into his arms and said, "I'm so poor, except for the good intentions of Dong Yan's family, who would wait to see me? I didn't expect you to be jealous too."

Yan Biyun pushed Su Jin away with a slight smile, pointed at Lin Zhong and said, "Don't hug Xiao Xianer, they are watching in the forest." After a pause, he said, "There are many officials surnamed Xia in Beijing, but those with high positions I am afraid that there is only one who is currently serving as the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy in the northwest border."

Su Jin was stunned and said: "Are you an envoy? Isn't Master Fan also under him?"

Yan Biyun nodded and said, "Lord Fan Zhongyan and Lord Han Qi are both his deputy envoys."

Su Jin clicked his tongue and said, "What is the name of Master Xia who is so powerful?"

Yan Biyun said: "Master Xia's name is Xia Songzi. Qiao became famous for his talents when he was young. Biyun is not very clear about the specific deeds, but he does have a daughter under his knees. I have met her. Last year, the Dragon Boat Festival emperor gave a banquet to my slave's family to accompany my uncle. I have seen her in the palace before, but she is a beautiful woman, but it is probably not the forest of the four forests that Lord Xia called her Ling'er Ling'er."

Su Jin smiled and said, "Could it be the bell of the bell."

Yan Biyun said: "I don't know, if it's really her, you can't go to the servant's house in your house."

Su Jin said: "Why can't you go?"

Yan Biyun said: "Lord Xia Song and my uncle have different political views. The two of us often get involved in the court hall, which makes the emperor have a headache. If I go, I will always be caught by her. If Miss Xia tells Master Xia about the matter, Master Xia will definitely respond. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble to impeach uncle in this way?"

Su Jin nodded and said: "It's also based on what you said, we can only sneak out and have a tryst in the wild like today."

Yan Biyun spat: "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. What a rendezvous in the wild is so ugly."

Su Jin said with a playful smile: "Little lady, give me a smile."

Yan Biyun swung his fist and wanted to hit him, but Su Jin couldn't move with his pink fist. Su Jin stretched out his mouth and kissed him forcefully, "Why don't I ask Sui Er to inquire about a shared house in Nancheng and move out, so I can save myself if I can't see the cat making trouble. The taste of the heart is not good."

Listening to what he said, Yan Biyun smiled and said: "It's okay, actually, it's just the two of us speculating that there might be someone else."

Su Jin also said: "I don't think it may be that this Miss Xia is actually a pretty good person, she has a good relationship with me, and she really cares about people."

Yan Biyun pondered for a while and said: "Lang Jun, don't blame Biyun for being talkative. If you don't mean anything to her, it's better to stay away from her. You may not understand the thoughts of a good woman. Once she likes you, it will be difficult."

Su Jin joked: "Then just accept what is difficult."

Yan Biyun snorted and said, "You think that if you knew what kind of person Master Xia is, you wouldn't say such things."

Su Jin stuck out his tongue and said, "What kind of man-eating beast?"

Yan Biyun said softly: "I'm afraid it's more powerful than a beast. There are rumors in Beijing that Mr. Xia has killed countless people and commanded the Northwest Army for many years. He has a vicious temper and is easily blamed; I remember that on Miss Xia's 14th birthday, an official said something disrespectful to Miss Xia at the banquet. On the second day, he was found dismembered in a back alley, do you think he is more ferocious than a beast?"

Su Jin was stunned and said, "So cruel? Why can't Ms. Xia show any hostility?"

Yan Biyun said: "Miss Xia is Miss Xia, and Mrs. Xia is Mrs. Xia. How can I say the same day and Mrs. Xia regards her as a jewel in the palm of my hand? How can I allow you to associate with Ms. Xia? The result must be..."

Su Jin smiled and said: "The corpses were divided into back alleys and they don't even know how they died."

Yan Biyun said: "It's good that you know."

Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "Are we worrying about nothing? I have nothing to do with Miss Xia and I have helped her. I am afraid that Master Xia will come from?"

Yan Biyun said: "My family is just reminding you that you are not jealous. You can test her out. If she is not Xia Song's daughter, that's all. You like her and she also likes you. It's okay to accept it; if it's Xia Song's daughter. Hurry up and find a courtyard and leave."

Su Jin smiled wryly, and he didn't want to get entangled in this matter before asking for proof. He pulled Yan Biyun's carriage out of the lakeside path and drove all the way to the city.
