At dusk, people ended their busy day, and the horse riding on the streets, riding cars, or peddlers and pawns, were walking slowly and leisurely, which was much different from the scene in the morning. But Su Jin looked a little anxious. He dismounted the horse and tied the horse in the yard and limped in, still wearing blue official uniforms. The clothes had just been worn for a few days.

When the two children saw him, they ran over to call their father. Su Jin touched their heads and asked, "Is your mother at home?" The child replied, "Mom is cooking in the kitchen."

Su Jin left his two children and walked straight into the kitchen. He saw a well-shaped woman busy by the stove. The woman looked back and said, "Husband is back. You go to change clothes and wash your hands first, and wait for a while before you can have supper."

"What do you think this is?" Su Jin smiled and took out a bag of things from his sleeve bag and handed them over. Lin took it and heard a rumbling sound inside, and then put it beside the stove: "Isn't there still half a month left to pay the salary?"

Su Jin said: "Look, it's not just salary, but the most important thing is the house deeds and land deeds. King Jin really treats people very well. The Anyifang, which was chosen by the house, is close to the East City, and every inch of land is valuable! In the future, it will be very convenient for you to buy anything, and I'm also worth it. This land deed is Yongye Field. I have been included in the official list in the Ministry of Personnel. According to the law, there are land and salary. Not only are there industries but also something. People with an official status will be much more convenient. No one dares to make things difficult for them. In addition, this money is the salary pre-allocated by the Prince's Office. We can move to the new house in the next two days. We just use this money to hire a few slaves first. One is someone to serve the horse documents, and the other is to help you do some work. After a while, you can live the life of luxury and food that is served by people..."

He said a lot in one breath, his face was red and he looked very excited. People's moods were always shaken when life changed drastically, and Su Jin could not escape the vulgarity when he returned home. In contrast, Lin seemed to be more caring and calm than him. She scooped a basin of cold water and put it down and said casually: "Take out the water and let the children wash their hands first, and play around all day long and don't know what it's dirty." After that, he picked up a plate of pancakes and walked out of the kitchen, and the bag of money and property placed by the stove seemed to have been forgotten by her.

Su Jin had no choice but to pick up the bag, look at her back and sigh, then lowered his head to think about it.

After a while, Lin brought a child in with one hand. Seeing that Su Jin was still standing there stupidly, she said, "A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, why are you still staying here?"

"Well." Su Jin was very excited to meet his wife and his attitude was cooled down. "After a while, I have to find a private school for my boss to study and practice. I am busy on weekdays and have no time to teach him. It would be too late to not study anymore... When I was as old as him, I could write a few five-character poems at will."

Lin smiled and said, "If you hadn't been famous since childhood, how could my father let me and you?"

"That's true..." Su Jin had no choice but to stuff the things into his clothes and put them away.

Lin said calmly: "The King of Jin is kind to you, so you have to work hard, but you can't lose rare books in everything."

"Madam said it." Su Jin's face was a little heavy, and he bowed seriously with his fists.

Just then, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Is Brother Su at home?"

Lin said: "Someone is visiting you, hurry up and see who it is."

Su Jin turned around and walked out. After leaving the yard, he saw two carriages leaning against the roadside. There were two servants riding horses next to him. An old man with white hair and red face was standing next to the carriage. Su Jin was stunned for a moment and soon recognized that it was He Zhizhang. When everyone was in the capital, the relationship between the two was pretty good and it was easy to get along. However, the situation was turbulent and the human relationship was withered. Su Jin probably thought he hadn't seen He Zhizhang in a few years. Last time he heard that he had been transferred back to the capital from Luoyang, it was not easy for Su Jin to visit him as he was at that time. Now He Zhizhang takes the initiative to come to visit him.

He Zhizhang laughed and said, "It's a rare reunion. I really didn't expect that my brother is still in the capital!"

"You have to support your family." Su Jin also laughed, "Brother He, please leave, haha! The family is relatively simple, don't laugh at me."

He Zhizhang said: "Don't you want to move into your new home? I just heard about it." As the two left, He Zhizhang sighed again, "A few years ago, everyone was displaced. I was demoted to Luoyang. Many old friends did not have any letters. I returned to the capital not long ago. I didn't know that my brother was close, otherwise I should have come to visit him early."

Su Jin didn't care. He had experienced meetings and separations. He didn't have to blame others for being snobbish. As long as he was a friend but not an enemy when he was a good person, it was rare to get to know each other... How many people can the world ask for intimate friendship? Su Jin said: "I heard that Brother He had returned to the capital, but I had made up my mind to live in seclusion in the city and live in a state of lingering life, so I was not convenient to visit him. However, the King of Jin came to the hut and asked sincerely, and I couldn't refuse it. It was better to let it go and go back to the officialdom. After entering the officialdom, I wanted to move properly and visit Brother He to reminisce about the past, but I didn't expect Brother He to come first, which was so rude."

"If we don't mention these, it's not easy for the past few years. It's over. Let's talk together and never part with each other later."

Su Jin pointed to the food on the table and said, "I'm just about to have a meal, why would Brother He eat together?"

He Zhizhang glanced at the pancake on the plate and smiled heartily: "I am old and can't bite such a hard pancake. I'm competent to drink a few glasses of wine."

"There is no good wine to entertain, Brother He has to make up for it for the time being. I will invite you to make up for it in a few days." Su Jin made a request.

He Zhizhang sat down and asked, "The new house is there in Anyifang?"

Su Jin said quietly: "I originally thought it was inconvenient to accept the prince's kindness without making any contributions, but the prince said that Wang Shaobo had no place to live at the beginning, so he sent a house. Today, I couldn't favor one or the other. I couldn't find a reason to refuse, so I had to accept it with shame."

When He Zhizhang heard this, he thought to himself that Wang Changling was a confidant counselor under the Jin Palace. Su Jin's treatment was actually compared with him. How great is his future? He laughed dryly, picked up the wine he handed over and took a sip, "Wine is not about good or bad, it depends on who to drink with. It's good if the person is right."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the relationship seemed very harmonious. Lin turned around and went to the kitchen to cook. At first, he didn't expect that the guests would arrive, but the food was too casual.

He Zhizhang put down his wine glass and said, "I found that the people in this court have been almost the same when they return to Chang'an, and there are not many familiar ones. We old brothers have been in love for so long, so we have to help each other in the future. People in the officialdom must rely on friends. If it weren't for the old friend Zhang Jiuling's words this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come back."

Su Jin hurriedly said politely: "Brother He is the Minister of Works. Look at the outfit I wear. You will have to support me in the future."

"Ha!" He Zhizhang smiled, "At this moment, we can't just look at the color of the clothes... Let's say a heart-to-heart talk. The things that my brother and Wang Shaobo and others work together are all the things discussed by the Political Affairs Hall. I am a minister of the Ministry of Works, and I can't even touch the edge."

The two officials were drinking in the dining room, and Lin couldn't even serve the dining table. After the food was arranged, he took his two children to make some food to the inner room to make do with supper.

Although laughter often came from the dining room, the two of them felt that they had been unfamiliar for a few years and seemed to be separated by a floor, which was not as real as before. They complimented each other and spoke in the scene. Before the day was dark, they felt as if they had finished speaking, and there was nothing to talk about. How could anyone who had nothing to say do?

After an hour, He Zhizhang stood up and said goodbye. Su Jin left a few words and sent him out. Before leaving, he mentioned that he would visit him another day.

After seeing the person off, Su Jin immediately put down his posture when he returned to the house. It was very different from his attitude of neglecting his wife just now. He asked with concern: "Are you full?" Lin nodded.

Su Jin pulled an old stool and sat down, pondered for a moment and said, "He Jizhen, you know people who used to come and go, this has become like this in a few years, alas."

Lin said: "He didn't take action when our family was in trouble. Now he is an official in the same dynasty. Although we don't care, he will feel a little irritated."

"Forget it, there is no need to worry about it. In short, the He family is also an old friend, but it is more reliable than many people they meet at times. Su is not a narrow-minded person, and he is not vague in his actions." Su Jin said frankly.

Lin said softly: "My husband is naturally reassuring to deal with things. He Jizhen comes first, and there will be many people coming in the future. We should indeed move a decent place... Let's see which street the house deed is on."

Su Jin hurriedly took out his things, looked at the dilapidated yard with faint moonlight, and laughed from his nose: "The doors are deserted, and then the doors are crowded, and the world is rising and falling between hot and cold." He was not sighing when he spoke, but hesitating in his tone, and a new atmosphere was already foreseeing.

I saw a pile of grass in the courtyard, with a faint glow sprinkling on it with blue colors, and the simple scenery revealed a very inappropriate tranquility.
