The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Thank you Kan Da, Tudou's tattoo, and the rewards from both of you. In order to express my gratitude, I will post it in the third update today (this is the second update, please ask for tickets)

Su Jin was really hesitant about whether to take part in the imperial examination.

On the one hand, past experience tells me that the official path is not smooth, and if you are a little careless, you will end up [-] times worse than ordinary people. Moreover, your character is too detached, and it seems that you are not expected to be an official.

But on the other hand, Bao Zheng's words touched him a lot, the official body is like a golden amulet, with this amulet on his body, today's incident is absolutely impossible; Those who have been wronged, it is not a small state official who can decide his fate, it will undoubtedly be much safer.

Sitting in the elegant hall of Hefeng Building, Su Jin asked herself three questions, trying to find the answer.

The first question is, is the current life satisfactory to you?

It seems that this question is not necessary to consider at all. Of course, I am not satisfied. The house is still peaceful, but foreign troubles continue; Submerged in the torrent of rich people, you can't even see a single hair; and the various suppressions and restraints of the chamber of commerce, plus this time it can be regarded as taking over the beam with the magistrate, the future life will be even more difficult.

The second question is, is it better to be an official or to be an ordinary person?

It seems that there is no need to think about this question. Su Jin is a common man, and he does not have the kind of mind that is detached from the mountains and forests, so the answer to this question is obvious; people from every dynasty want to enter the system. With sufficient political capital, ordinary people can only change their destiny through the imperial examination, which is how the future generations are similar to the present.

Putting aside subjective factors, the current situation of the Su family, under the watchful eyes of the wolves, if there is an official body, the safety factor will immediately increase by a thousand times, and these chambers of commerce will never dare to touch themselves again One hair, the only thing to worry about is the strife in the officialdom and the joy and anger of the current big boss Emperor Renzong;

Although I don't know much about this dynasty, Su Jin's shallow historical knowledge has never heard of any civil servant in the Northern Song Dynasty being beheaded. This is a relatively relaxed and enlightened era. As long as you do your duty carefully, don't be accused It seems that there is no need to worry about life and death in the officialdom for such an unforgivable crime of treason.

What about Su Ji?This is the third question Su Jin asked himself.

Su Ji is in the stage of thriving, and all aspects are developing in a good direction. If you withdraw now, Su Ji has no one at the helm. I am afraid that Su Ji will be swallowed up before you get into the exam. No matter how famous he is as Luosun Shan, he would be empty-headed and laugh at the world; Su Ji's family of nearly 20 people hugged the big tree of Su Ji to beg for a living. An old shopkeeper who has been with Su Ji for more than ten or [-] years. Some people have three generations of grandparents living in Su Ji. Wouldn't they want people to hang themselves?

Could it be that mother is invited out to take the helm again?Let's not talk about whether Madam Wang can bring Su Ji to the road of revival, just from a moral point of view, I can't let my mother who is nearly fifty years old work hard day and night for business, and I don't look good when I say it.

The imperial examination is a big event, and it cannot be passed casually. It is not enough to rely on a few pirated poems, and one must study it systematically. I have only heard about the ancient imperial examinations and the bits and pieces on the paper, but I have no experience. However, there are various indications that the ancient imperial examinations were not something that everyone could achieve overnight. If I want to study while taking the scientific examination, I am afraid that the good thing of having both ends of the cake may end up being a quarrel.

While hesitating, he didn't even know that Li Chong went back drunk, only Yan Biyun was left watching him quietly, knowing that he was thinking about something and was upset.

Su Jin unconsciously drank one cup after another. Yan Biyun wondered why he suddenly became so drinkable, and softly persuaded: "Aren't you incapable of drinking? Drinking too much is not good for your health."

Before the words were finished, there was a 'bang', and Su Jin plunged headfirst onto the table and became drunk.

Yan Biyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, did he make a mistake in reminding him?If you don't mention it, you are still very energetic, but if you mention it, you will get drunk. What kind of evil is this?

In desperation, Xiao Sui'er and Xiao Xian'er had to be coquettishly called to help, and the three of them worked together to lift Su Jin's heavy body like a dead pig onto the couch in the side room and lay it down.

It's impossible to go back to the mansion, he is so drunk that he can't sit in a car, so he can only be raised here; Xiao Sui'er sent Su Ji and the others to leave, and she took care of her here, sitting on the side of the couch with her mouth pouted and her eyes bulging In a daze, I don't know who is sulking.

This is the second time for Yan Biyun to see Su Jin drunk, both times at her home and Fenglou, she sat beside her for a while, and suddenly remembered a line of poetry: Everyone gets drunk when wine is not drunk; He secretly blamed himself for not being calm recently, and he didn't know what to think in his mind.

It was hot and sweltering in the summer afternoon, and I don't know which maid was lazy and didn't nail a corner of the green screen window firmly. A fly ran in and flew around the room. Su Jin slept so that his forehead was sweating, and the fly crawled on his sweaty face. , watching Yan Biyun frowned.

He wanted to help Su Jin drive away, but it was difficult for Xiao Sui'er to do it when he was there, and then he looked at this little girl, leaning on the back of the chair and dozing off, showing no respect for her work as a maid.

Yan Biyun thought for a while, and beckoned to the short maid, and whispered something in her ear; the maid understood, and came to Xiao Sui'er to shake her awake.

"What, what are you doing?" Xiao Sui'er has been terrified for the past two days and hasn't slept well. She is sleeping soundly at the moment, when she is suddenly woken up, she is a little confused.

"Miss Sui'er, if you are tired, please go to the cool couch in the West Wing and rest for a while. Mr. Su may not wake up for an hour or two. My lady said that there is no need to make sober soup. I may not be able to sleep peacefully in the prison last night. It is better to let me sleep at this moment." He will sleep for a while." The maid said.

"Then...who will take care of you, Young Master?" Xiao Sui'er was also extremely sleepy, but she was still loyal to her duty.

"Don't worry, we are here, you go and rest for a while, I will call you when your young master wakes up."

Xiao Sui'er felt relieved, yawned and followed the short maid out of the side room to the west wing.

Yan Biyun let out a sigh of relief, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He got up gently and closed the door, moved to sit beside Su Jin, helped Su Jin wipe off the sweat with a silk scarf, and picked up a round fan to help Su Jin. Kam fanned the wind.

Su Jin is dreaming, the sun is like fire, and the surrounding yellow sand is long. Su Jin, dressed in a white warrior outfit, is chasing a winged crocodile in the heat of the desert with a three-foot green spear. The crocodile runs fast, Su Jin Even if you try your best, you can't catch up.

Just when his mouth was dry and his tongue was on fire, suddenly a gust of breeze blew, and his whole body felt refreshed and fluttering. Su Jin took advantage of this breeze and flew into the air. The winged crocodile is decapitated.

Su Jin stood on the huge head of the monster, proudly looking up to the sky and smiling.

Yan Biyun was playing a round fan, and leaned over to take a closer look at this handsome young gentleman, with thick eyebrows and broad forehead, straight nose and thin lips, he felt flustered when he saw it, and suddenly Su Jin let out a big laugh of "Oh...haha", scaring him Yan Biyun hurriedly got up and turned his face away.

She thought it was Su Jin who woke up and found that she was peeping at him. She was so ashamed that her face and neck turned crimson, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. When she looked back, Su Jin was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face. look like it's coming.

Yan Biyun spat, this guy didn't sleep well, and he was scary, I wish I could bite his smirking face a few times.

Suddenly Su Jin said: "Water...water..."

Yan Biyun understood that a drunk person's mouth is dry and their stomachs are on fire, and they need herbal tea to soothe their throats and invigorate their organs, so he immediately poured a cup of herbal tea on the table and brought it to the bed.

But how to feed water is a difficult problem. After thinking about it, I put the herbal tea aside, stretched out my slender hands to support Su Jin, and leaned on my body. Su Jin's head was on her towering twin peaks. Shaking around, Yan Biyun's heart was pounding, and he picked up the herbal tea and brought it to Su Jin's mouth.

Su Jinru got the nectar, drank it down with a gulp, drank a cup of tea to the bottom, and then let out a mouthful of alcohol in satisfaction.

Yan Biyun put the empty teacup aside, and was about to move Su Jin's head away from her chest, but unexpectedly, Su Jin turned sideways, rolled his arms up and directly put them on Yan Biyun's shoulders, not only did not move his head and face, but turned towards her The two peaks arched, and the mouth was just next to the red bean on the left. The hot air he exhaled was sprayed through the thin clothes, quickly blowing and expanding the lovesickness bean.

Yan Biyun felt so bad that she was about to die, but she was suppressed by Su Jin's dead body, unable to move. The uncomfortable feeling in her chest made her not know what to do, so she finally deflected Su Jin's head with all her strength, The hot air from her mouth couldn't reach her own red beans, so Jiao Pan sighed slightly.

"Enemy!" Yan Biyun said softly, and suddenly blushed and leaned over to kiss Su Jin's bright forehead, picked up the round fan, not only recognized her status as a pillow, but also became the most competent maid.
