The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

A crowd of thugs swarmed up, and the crowd in the Goulan couldn't avoid it. The middle-aged scholar got up on the ground and pleaded repeatedly. Xu Dongdong on the stage opened his big eyes full of tears and was shocked.

On the other side, the two gangs also joined hands. Su Jin pulled Yan Biyun back and opened his arms to stop the three women. Wang Chao, Ma Han and others had already rushed forward, and the fists as big as sand bowls were gone. Ups and downs, just listening to the chaotic sound of "cracking, praying, crackling", the fight is resolved within a few breaths, although the gang of big guys have some tricks, but they can't beat a few old fists that eat money, eight people in a short time Four pairs and a half were brought down.

Of course, the extra one was Su Jin’s newly recognized grandson Liu Binhua. This guy saw the opportunity very quickly, and ran away when he saw the situation was not good. Su Jin grabbed the almond tea pot on the table and threw it over; The teapot in the teapot didn't have any impact, but the newly brewed hot tea in it was no joke, it was all dumped on his back, and he was immediately hot and rolled on the ground like a pig.

The big eaters hadn't given up yet, people fell to the ground, they were still kicking and kicking, and the people on the ground were wailing and rolling, begging for mercy.

Yan Biyun tugged at Su Jin's sleeve and said, "Okay, it's good if it's broken."

Only then did Su Jin tell them to stop, and the group of people moaned and groaned on the ground, none of them dared to stand up, for fear of being noticed that their injuries were not serious and being punched by some fierce gods.

Su Jin came to Mr. Liu who was screaming and screaming with his hands behind his hands, and said, "Grandson, it's no wonder that grandpa is cruel. You hit grandpa first. How can grandpa not teach your unfilial son a lesson?"

Liu Binhua gritted his teeth and scolded: "Straight mother, you are so arrogant, you are the one to look at."

Su Jin chuckled and said: "The mouth is still quite stubborn, but I am not interested in you anymore. I came out today to relax. I don't want to be spoiled by you. Get out! If you are still here after ten breaths, I will come here for you." Shampooing your hair with almond tea will burn you into a pig’s head.”

Liu Binhua's mouth was ruthless, and he was really afraid in his heart. Fortunately, he turned his back to Su Jin just now. If this pot of tea was poured all over his face, this snow-white and tender handsome face would be useless, and he would become ugly in the future. Those few fans who are close friends probably don't want to see me anymore.

A good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses, Liu Binhua saw the opportunity quickly, before Su Jin started counting, he got up and ran, cursing in his mouth: "Little thief, do you dare to report your name? Let's wait and see."

Su Jin said loudly: "Grandson, grandpa will not change his name if he is going, or his surname if he is sitting. It is your grandpa Su Jinsu, remember it."

Liu Binhua covered his face with his sleeve, and ran away without a word. The eight thugs no longer pretended to be dead, and got up one after another and left the lotus shed without a trace.

Everyone in the Su family laughed, and Su Jin was also overjoyed. The middle-aged scholar who kept the accounts ran forward with a pale face, first bowed to express his thanks, and then said: "Young masters and young ladies, you must go quickly. Thank you for fighting against the injustice, but this person surnamed Liu is not to be offended, you go away quickly, so as not to cause trouble."

Yan Biyun said: "Don't be afraid, they should have been punished for uttering obscene words in broad daylight, teasing and flirting with weak women."

The scholar stomped his feet and said, "Hey, you don't know something about this young master. His family is rich and powerful, so you can't afford to mess with him."

Su Jin stared and said: "If you can't offend him, can you offend us? Who is his father?"

The middle-aged scholar hurriedly said: "I don't know if his parents are here, but I know that he is Xia Songxia's nephew. He grew up in Xia's mansion since he was a child, and he is famous for being a domineering man in this area. The officials in Kaifeng Mansion have nothing to do with him, but Lord Xia Song is an important minister in the court, holding the military power of more than [-] troops in the northwest, and the emperor pays him three respects, how can he be provoked?"

Su Jin was stunned and said, "Xia Song? Could it be Mr. Xia, the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy?"

"Who else is there if it's not him? Da Song still has a few Master Xia." The scholar saw Su Jin's face changed slightly, and said in his heart, "You know how to be afraid."

As soon as Su Jin heard the name Xia Song, he immediately thought of Xia Siling who was always in his heart. Her frowns and smiles and her sad pretty face before she left appeared in her mind. Su Jin touched her lips subconsciously, moving up and down. The scar on her lip bitten by Xia Siling has long since healed, but the scar on her lip has healed, but how can the person in her heart forget it.

Yan Biyun is so smart, she doesn't know Su Jin's thoughts, she sighed softly and said: "Brother Su, let's go, Master Xia's nephew, let's try not to provoke him."

Su Jin came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at Yan Biyun, and said, "That's true, but since we're here, we have to listen to a song before we leave. Why don't we ask Miss Xu Dongdong to sing for us? It's not in vain for my first time." Come to Goulan once to listen to the music."

Yan Biyun understood that Su Jin was deliberately finding fault. Su Jin wanted to stay here. It seemed that he wanted to wait for Mr. Liu to bring someone back to take revenge. Maybe he wanted to take this opportunity to see Xia Siling again.

Yan Biyun won't get entangled in this, and she won't refute Su Jin's face in public. As an ancient lady, she knows when to calm down, when to act like a baby, when to restrain, and when to indulge In such a situation, Yan Biyun will stand by Su Jin's side without hesitation; although a small friction is harmless, it is like a pool of water, although it is a trickle, it will always be filled one day .

The same is true between people, small frictions are irrelevant, but the feelings between two people will slowly wear off because of these small non-fatal frictions, and one day, there will be unexpected consequences; of course Yan Biyun cannot Let this happen.

Everyone moved to sit at the table in front. Although the middle-aged scholar was extremely anxious and hoped that Su Jin and the others would leave quickly, he could not drive them away, so he had to bring the music book over worriedly and asked Su Jin to order some.

The idlers who were here to watch the excitement planned to leave here, but unexpectedly, it seemed that there was still a good show to watch, so they all got off the bench, waiting eagerly for the good show to start.

Su Jin threw the song book to Yan Biyun and said, "I'm not very good at it, Brother Yan, order one."

Yan Biyun smiled and said, "Brother Su is too modest, you are a great expert."

Even though he said that, he still opened the song book and looked for it. After searching around, he didn't like it, and suddenly he went to the stage and said: "Master Xu, I don't know if there is a new song that you can sing?"

Xu Dongdong saluted with a low eyebrow and said: "My family has been singing since elementary school, and I dare not say that I can sing it, but this young master might as well talk about it."

Yan Biyun said: "In Yingtian Mansion, I heard a newcomer in the ci world write some good poems. I don't know if everyone in Xu has heard of it."

Xu Dongdong's eyes lit up and he said: "Forgive me for talking too much, sir, is that the new mid-autumn song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"?"

Su Jin opened her mouth wide in surprise, and asked, "You know this poem too? It doesn't make sense."

Xu Dongdong smiled slightly and said: "I heard from a friend of my family. This friend of my family is a good friend of a student from Yingtian Academy. They met in Yingtianfu that day. A student surnamed Su Zhongqiu Ye wrote this Ci, and even sang it with the music. The friend of the Nu family was very surprised after hearing it, so he learned the lyrics and music and taught it to the Nu family. The Nu family has never presented it in front of outsiders. I sang it."

Su Jin and Yan Biyun looked at each other and smiled, needless to say, some of those righteous brothers were showing off outside, Xu Dongdong's friend, maybe they were close friends in the boudoir, romantic students, and a tryst with a singer to sing songs together It is also an extremely common thing.

"Then you can sing this song, um... I heard that Master Xu and Liu Sanbian are acquaintances, if Liu Qiqing has new words, he will also order one, singing Liu Ci from your mouth will definitely be different." Yan Biyun smiled.

Xu Dongdong's face turned red, and he saluted slightly: "Yes."

Then he sat down gracefully, hugged the pipa in his arms, plucked the strings three or two times, and there was a sudden silence in the audience.

With the pipa in his hands, Xu Dongdong immediately transformed into a dignified and elegant lady from a frightened and shy deer. She turned her fingers around, and the clear sound of the pipa was like a gurgling sound under her fingers. The gurgling water flows out, making people feel relaxed all over.

Just after the prelude like a brocade of flowers, the sound of the pipa suddenly became quiet, and at the same time, a sound like the sound of heaven floated down from the clouds, and gradually penetrated into the ears of everyone present like mist and smoke.

"When will the bright moon come...ask Qingtian for the wine..."

"I don't know the palace in the sky... what year is this eve..."

Everyone in the audience fell into a dream, listening to the sound from outside the sky like a fascination, no one made any movement or made any sound.

"I wish you a long time... a thousand miles to share the beauty..." The weeping voice gradually disappeared, but the ending sound was still lingering in people's hearts. With the end of the last pipa sound, Xu Dongdong got up to salute and stood quietly on the spot.

The audience was silent for a full ten seconds, and suddenly thunderous applause, applause, applause, and shouts resounded through the Goulan. Su Jin nodded and applauded, deeply moved by her superb skills. If this person is placed in future generations, she will definitely be a An artist-level singer, it's a pity that fate made her born a thousand years earlier, but here she can only be reduced to a singer.

"Appreciate! Appreciate!" Yan Biyun whispered, her red lips trembling, with tears in her eyes.

But I heard a pig-killing howl from behind: "Oh, I'm scalded to death." Immediately after that, there was a bang, and something seemed to fall to the ground.

Everyone looked back in astonishment, only to see that the tea delivery man was grinning with his hands hurting, and a pot of tea on the ground was overturned, steaming.

When everyone asked, they immediately burst into laughter. It turned out that the man was fascinated by what he heard, and he was holding the teapot without moving. Only then did he realize that his hands were resting on the teapot, which was already covered with hot blisters, so he let go and threw the teapot away. Exclaimed.
