Su Jin went up to the second floor of the back hall inn with disheveled hair. Xiao Xian'er behind him covered her mouth and laughed non-stop when she looked at him. Su Jin was so excited by her laughter that he pressed her on the handrail of the stairs and kissed her with her mouth out.
, Xiao Xian'er's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and pointed upstairs. Su Jin sat down and wiped her neck fiercely, and then Xiao Xian'er stuck out her tongue and put away her smile.
"Is it Xian'er? Was it Su Jin who called just now?" Yan Biyun's lazy voice came from the guest room upstairs.
"Miss, it's Mr. Su. Your ears are really good. You can hear it from such a distance." Xiao Xian'er said with a smile.
Su Jin lifted the curtain and stepped into the guest room. The room had obviously been tidied up and made fragrant. The bedding and mosquito nets were also brand new. It was not easy for Yan Biyun, who loved cleanliness, to live in such a simple inn. She must dress up well.
Ichiban.
There were two soft chairs side by side in the room. A pot of charcoal fire was burning brightly in front of the soft chairs. Yan Biyun and Rou Niang on the recliners saw Su Jin coming in and wanted to stand up and salute. Su Jin waved his hands and said: "No need to get up, sit down."
"
Yan Biyun and Rou Niang pointed at Su Jin with their mouths open and were speechless for a long time; Su Jin said in shock: "What's wrong?"
"How did you end up like this? Look at your hair, your clothes are torn in many places, did you fight with someone?" Yan Biyun asked.
Su Jin scratched his head and recounted what had just happened. Yan Biyun and the other three covered their mouths and laughed non-stop.
"The inn you chose is really strict. These three guard dogs are more honest than real dogs. Look at me. It took a lot of effort for Wang Chao to get me this tattered cotton-padded jacket. Now even the old cotton-padded jacket is...
He was dragged out."
"Don't talk about them like that. They also do things according to my instructions. Wouldn't it be more strict? It will also save others from gossiping." Yan Biyun smiled and said: "Xian'er, comb the young master's hair. Didn't we bring clothes for him?
?Take it out and put it on, why do you look like a little old man?"
Xiao Xian'er suppressed her laughter, picked up the wooden comb and sat down on the stool. She scattered his messy bun and helped Su Jin comb it. Rou Niang got up from the soft chair and rummaged through the box in the corner of the room.
A royal blue cotton gown came out for Su Jin to change into.
After packing up, Yan Biyun said: "If Master Su is not busy with your important matters, why do you have time to dress up and come to sit here with the servants? Did everything go smoothly?"
Su Jin took a sip of the half-drunk tea left by an unknown person on the case, and said, "Don't mention it, it's very difficult." Suddenly he stuck out his tongue and smacked his lips and said, "What does this tea taste like?"
Yan Biyun blushed and said: "Xian'er helped Mr. Su make a cup of tea, but why did he drink it randomly after he picked it up? The tea was drunk by the slave family. It is medicinal tea, so naturally it has a medicinal taste."
Su Jin hurriedly said: "Medicinal tea? Are you sick?"
Xiao Xian'er came over with a tea cup and said: "Young master doesn't care about my young lady. It's been three days and I haven't come over to take a look. My lady's asthma attacks in the cold winter months. No, I took some pills and soaked them."
Drink tea and take care of yourself."
Su Jin stood up hurriedly and said: "Damn it... I really didn't know Biyun had this disease, but what kind of medicine can be mixed with tea? Has the effect of the medicine been completely neutralized by the tea?"
Yan Biyun said: "Neutralize?"
Su Jindao: "What I mean is that I heard that taking tea and medicine together will dilute the nature of the medicine and the effect will not be good."
Yan Biyun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my uncle found this pill after visiting famous doctors. It is a lung-cleansing medicine in itself. It needs tea as a guide, but it is different from ordinary medicine. Don't worry about it. Tell me about yours."
How is the errand going? It’s hard to describe.”
Su Jin walked over and leaned against Yan Biyun's cheek to see if there was any abnormal blush. A probe put his ear on her back to listen to her breathing, which basically ruled out the possibility of tuberculosis. It was probably an ordinary bronchus.
Diseases such as arthritis will occur in winter. There is no good medicine for this disease in later generations, so it can only be treated. Fortunately, it is not a very serious disease, so I feel relieved.
He turned around and sat down, and told all about his encounter in Sanli Hutong in Beikou in the morning. Of course, the erotic plot was just passed by, and he couldn't tell all about the drama between himself and Bai Mudan in front of the three girls.
trouble.
Yan Biyun frowned and said: "So, this Yangzhou is just like Luzhou, there has been a tacit understanding between officials and businessmen, and they collude with each other to make profits?"
Su Jin shook his head and said: "There are some differences. In Luzhou, there is collusion between officials and businessmen, but here they are controlling officials. Think about it, Yangzhou officials must have experienced the same thing as me when they entered that wealthy building. I was lucky enough to have insight.
They fell into the trap, and those officials were bitten by Feng Laohu in the name of catching a prisoner, and were forced to sign a document. In order to protect themselves from now on, shouldn't they be like puppets and be manipulated by others? This Feng Laohu is really cunning, these officials
Even if you fall into a trap, you will never use this to remind other officials, because that would be equivalent to admitting that you have entered this wealthy building."
Yan Biyun nodded and said: "That's true, what are you going to do?"
Su Jin rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Everywhere is in the quagmire. I almost lose confidence. When did the Song Dynasty become so rotten and rotten? If it continues like this, it will be difficult to return. I'm afraid the days of peace will not last long.
Already."
Rou Niang came over, rubbed Su Jin's shoulders and said softly: "Master, please don't be discouraged. Things never go smoothly. Haven't you encountered many things in the past six months? Haven't they all come here? I believe it.
Nothing can trouble the young master."
Xiao Xian'er also said: "Yes, besides, Bai Mudan is very pitiful. You promised to save her, how can you be discouraged?"
Su Jin felt warm in his heart, and his heart, which was indeed a little irritable, suddenly felt a little stronger. Faced with the respect and trust of people around him, as a man, there is no reason and he must never give up. And for Su Jin, this job is
There was a hint of conspiracy from the beginning. Now the military rations have been moved, Long Zhen has taken them, and the bandits have been eliminated. At this time, there is no way out at all.
Su Jin gently patted Rou Niang's little hand and said: "Don't worry, your young master is not a person who has a beginning and an end. I came here to discuss with Sister Yan. At present, I don't believe anyone in Yangzhou Mansion. I can only come to listen."
My family’s opinions.”
Yan Biyun glanced at Su Jin with love and said: "What can I do? If you ask me about business, I can give you some advice."
Su Jindao: "There are laws in business, officialdom, and political intrigue, and their essences are almost the same. They are nothing more than pursuing profit and seeking power. Maybe you can give me some inspiration because you are a bystander."
Yan Biyun said: "Then I will try to talk nonsense, but you are not allowed to laugh at me."
Su Jin moved to the soft chair opposite and sat down next to Yan Biyun. Yan Biyun's face turned red and she thought to herself: This guy is becoming less and less shy about people, and he is getting closer to her. Fortunately, Xiao Xian'er and Rou Niang both
It's so commonplace that I don't dare to make fun of it casually.
"You said that the plaques on the Fugui Tower were all inscribed by the Song magistrate. Are you suspecting that the Song magistrate also fell into his trap and knew about Feng Laohu's grain harvesting but did not say anything?"
Su Jin shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Although Magistrate Song is pedantic, I think he is still a sincere gentleman and will never collude with such people in major matters. Take the opening of a warehouse as an example, his performance
He is a person who only acts in accordance with the imperial dogma, or a loyal person. If he says that he disregards his reputation and associates with bullies like Feng Laohu, and is colluding with him, I really can't believe it."
Yan Biyun nodded and said: "The Nu family has the same view as you. The Song magistrate was originally from a scholarly family, and he was promoted to the position of deputy prime minister a few years ago. It was precisely because of his pedantic character that he did not know how to adapt, so he was dismissed.
He was demoted here and became a prefect; his uncle also talked about him. He didn't know much about his political ability, but he highly praised his talents and learning. He once said, "Song Gongxu has an upright character and a great integrity."
It's not a loss, talent and learning are great, and there are very few people today who are rich in it; but they can't be tactful, and this is a big disadvantage. If it is not for politics, but compiling history books, treating it as a generation of great people...', Generally speaking, my uncle's attitude towards the Song Prefect
I still appreciate it.”
Su Jinxin said: The heroes have similar views. I also think it would be more appropriate for this person to be the head of the Taixue Mountain and compile historical records. I didn't expect Yan Shu to think so too.
Yan Biyun continued: "Actually, inscribing a plaque does not mean that the two are related. The prefect of the Song Dynasty likes pen and ink. If someone has ulterior motives to deceive him, it is not difficult to ask him to inscribe a plaque. The prefect of the Song Dynasty may not even know that Feng Laohu's words are used.
Upstairs, it is really untenable to judge that Magistrate Song and Feng Laohu colluded based on this."
Su Jindao: "That's right. I think Magistrate Song is probably being used by others. If someone like him is sold, he may have to pay for someone else. But even if Magistrate Song and Feng Huhu didn't collude, I'm afraid the subordinate officials in Yangzhou Mansion might
Most of them were corrupted by Feng Laohu, which is a thorny problem."
Yan Biyun said: "It's hard to stand alone, you must help. The officials in Yangzhou don't know that the matter has been leaked yet. If they know, they will probably launch a collective attack. What the Nu family is worried about now is that Feng Laohu already knows about your opening of the warehouse."
, then he may use it to blackmail you at any time, which would be a troublesome matter."
Su Jin suddenly remembered that day when the Song magistrate summoned all the subordinate officials and asked them not to speak out about the opening of the warehouse. Among those officials, there must be people controlled by Feng Laohu, but this was equivalent to telling Feng Laohu that he had tampered with the official warehouse.
Su Jin felt irritated. This Song Xiang was so confused that he felt something was wrong at that time. However, this was the internal affairs of the Yangzhou government and he could not interfere more. Moreover, he did not know that Feng Laohu was so capable at the time.
Unexpectedly, he left a tail in the hands of others; the only thing he can hope for now is that Song Xiang did not say that the official warehouse was military rations, the official warehouse was an official warehouse, and the military rations were military rations.
