Xiao Sui'er came in early and secretly put Su Jin from the small door into the backyard. Su Jin looked at everything in Xiao Farewell's home for a day and night, and suddenly realized how intimate it all was; even the old bird's nest on the big tree to the west was
It's not so eye-catching, and the old bird's croaking sound doesn't seem to be as hard to hear as before.
Sister Rou Niang and Huan Niang, who knew the inside story, were frightened all night long. When they saw Su Jin returning, they couldn't help but shed tears when they saw Su Jin's embarrassed look.
Su Jin sighed, it turned out that being cared for by others was really a happy thing. He didn't say much at the moment, he just patted the two of them on the shoulders to comfort them.
Xiao Sui'er said: "Young Master, hurry up and take a bath and change clothes. Before you go out, you have to go to the old lady to say hello. Last night and this morning, the lady came to the backyard to ask several times. We only said that we were going to the manor outside the city to inspect.
The crops are growing."
Su Jin couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Is there anyone who can watch the growth of crops at night? Get some warm water quickly, in case my mother comes in suddenly and can't tell clearly."
Rou Niang and Huan Niang quickly wiped away their tears and followed Xiao Sui'er and Xiao Mi'er to boil water, and those carrying clothes took clothes and prepared moxa leaf water for Su Jin to remove bad luck.
After a lot of work, Su Jin finally returned to her young master's appearance. She was fragrant, her face was flushed, her hair was black, and she was so handsome that even Rou Niang and Huan Niang didn't dare to look directly at her.
Next, he went to Mrs. Wang's room to ask for an explanation. By the time he left the house, nearly half an hour had passed. Su Jin was a little unhappy that Bao Zheng, Li Chong, Yan Biyun and others had been waiting in Hefeng Tower for such a long time.
I'm sorry, none of those three people are much more noble than me, Su Xiaoguan, and are kind to me, so we can't delay any longer.
In order to seize the time, Xiao Zhuzhu whipped the big green mule's buttocks until they were all covered with whip marks. The green mule had suffered a lot since Su Xiaoguan changed his temperament. He was whipped every day when he ran around.
Gone are the days of nesting under the shade of a locust tree, chewing the cud, and watching other mules being whipped to death. If the mules knew they regretted it, they would probably regret it now.
…
There was lively chatting and laughter in the elegant hall of Hefeng Tower. Mr. Bao, Yan Biyun, Li Zhong and others were not unhappy at all because they were waiting for Su Jin. On the contrary, the three of them reminisced about the past and actually talked about their relationship.
Bao Zheng and Yan Biyun had known each other before, and cliques were not allowed by the court. Therefore, although Yan Shu recommended Bao Zheng to be a state official, Bao Zheng and Yan Shu could only be regarded as superior and subordinate officials, but they could never call themselves students or students.
Disciple, otherwise it will be a disaster for forming cliques for personal gain; in view of this, Yan Biyun can only call Bao Zheng Master Bao, but cannot even call him Uncle Shi in public, but at this time, he has no scruples, calling him "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi"
Pretty smooth.
However, Li Chong and Bao Zheng made seven or eight rounds of twists and turns, and finally found a curved line of relatives. Specifically, the second aunt of the husband's family, the cousin of Bao Zheng's late wife Zhang, was the aunt of Li Chong's mother.
, this discovery made everyone sweat profusely, and they didn’t know what to call each other after spending a long time.
As soon as Su Jin sat down, he heard this tongue twister and thought in confusion: "Are people in the Song Dynasty also seeking marriage like this? Rich people have distant relatives in the mountains. If Mr. Bao were an ordinary citizen, I'm afraid Li Chong wouldn't have spent such effort to seek marriage even if he died.
."
"Why make it so complicated? Isn't it just to tell the story of origin? There is the nearest connection right in front of you, so why bother to seek something far away?" Su Jin drank two large glasses of Huang Ya collected by Yan Biyun and said with a click of his lips.
"Oh? What's the origin?" Bao Zheng still likes to gossip when he's not talking about official matters.
"Didn't Mr. Bao just get promoted from the post of Tianchang County? Our Mr. Li, Ding You, went to take over the position of Tianchang County Magistrate when his term expired. After a back and forth, the two adults became parents' officials in the same county one after another. How can this be so?
Isn’t it the origin?”
"Yes, how could I have forgotten this problem? Damn it, damn it." Li Zhong beat his head and blamed himself.
Bao Zheng was very interested and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is Mr. Li the next county magistrate for me?"
Li Chong stood up and saluted: "The official appointment document of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been issued, but there are still several months before the appointment of Dingyou, so I dare not exceed the courtesy."
Bao Zheng said happily: "Very good, very good. That's just right. I have a few unfinished things to tell Mr. Li. If Mr. Li thinks it can be continued, how about helping me complete it?"
Li Zhongdao: "If you dare to disobey your orders, sir, please tell me."
Bao Zheng said excitedly: "One of these is water conservancy. After I took office, I spent several years clearing out silt and building dams, digging ponds and opening canals to ensure that the people have water for irrigation during droughts and to drain floods during floods."
Disaster reduction has also been quite effective.”
Li Chong leaned over and touched his palms and said, "Okay, this is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Your Excellency, this is bringing benefits to the people."
"However, farmland water conservancy is not a one-day achievement, and it consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources. In view of this, I..." Bao Zheng began to talk at length.
Su Jin was extremely upset when he heard this. At first he even added a few words, but later it meant nothing. The old man and the young man still talked unabated and kept talking.
Su Jin glanced at Yan Biyun, and saw a hint of naughtiness in Yan Biyun's eyes, and felt a great hatred in her heart. She originally wanted to ask Mr. Bao what his favorite dish was, what his favorite color was, and whether he had bleached it.
Face, what are the criteria for choosing a mate, etc., to satisfy the dream of chasing stars when I was young, but I didn't expect it to end like this. Seeing that the two of them couldn't live without talking about it until dark.
Su Jin drank the wine helplessly, and the delicacies of Hefenglou became as tasteless as dry grass in his mouth.
"Are you feeling depressed?" The air was blowing like blue into his ears, but it was Yan Biyun who leaned over and whispered to him.
Su Jin's heart moved, and she couldn't help but glance at her chest. She quickly looked away before Yan Biyun rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she remembered that Yan Biyun had done a lot of work this time and hadn't thanked her yet.
"Fortunately, I originally invited Mr. Bao to have fun. It would be a good thing if he came to talk to Brother Li." Su Jin said softly.
The two of them walked back and forth softly, as if they were whispering.
Yan Biyun realized this, sat upright, and said with a slightly red face: "What happened today is just a lesson to you, so that you will act recklessly next time? If Master Bao hadn't been here, you would have been in trouble.
"
Su Jincheng said sincerely: "I know, my arms can't twist my thighs, not to mention my little arms are so thin. Thank you for your help this time, otherwise I will definitely suffer a lot in prison."
Yan Biyun smiled and said: "If I had known that Mr. Bao would take action, I wouldn't have had to do anything more. As long as you are wronged, Mr. Bao will have a way to help you clear your grievances."
Su Jin nodded and said: "Master Bao is very perceptive and has a sharp eye. How can the tricks of a young man escape Bao Qingtian's wise eyes." Then he glanced at Bao Zheng, wanting to see if Master Bao heard his flattery.
The fair-skinned Bao Zheng looked so awkward. He was frothing at the mouth while talking to Li Chong. They were toasting each other and picking up food. Su Jin had already been thrown out of the sky, let alone hearing Su Jin's deliberate remarks.
That's so flattering.
Su Jin was depressed to death and wanted to bring these two people back. They would not stop if they didn't let them have fun.
"Miss Yan, I heard from Sui'er that this time you spent a hundred taels of silver to protect me from the jailers' persecution. I'm just thinking about how to repay you this favor."
Yan Biyun whispered softly: "Do you still want to be clear?"
Su Jin didn't hear clearly and said: "What?"
Yan Biyun smiled and said, "Money is nothing. As long as you are safe, that's fine."
Su Jin thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll give you a choice. Do you want me to pay you back, or do you want me to help you come up with an idea."
Yan Biyun thought seriously and said, "Everyone wants it."
Su Jin's heart was filled with excitement, as if someone asked: "Do you want my person or my heart?"
The man replied: "I want both your person and your heart."
It was a typical cute way to seduce. Su Jin wanted to say something, but his throat was so dry that it took him a long time to get back to normal. Su Jin thought that he couldn't stand the temptation, so he no longer dared to reply with teasing words. At that moment, he honestly said
He told her in detail an idea that he had already tailor-made for Yan Biyun.
…
Xiao Sui'er, Xiao Xian'er and others who were waiting in the hall were a little dumbfounded. There were four people at the table, and they were chatting in pairs. One of the two people over there was an adult, and the other was a low-ranking official. They had something to do with farmland and water conservancy.
Public security, taxation, roads, bridges, etc. in the county; the two bosses here were talking and drawing about what was out of season, what about greenhouse vegetables, what about light, temperature, humidity, etc., and they couldn't understand a word of it.
Although there is something wrong between Xiao Xian'er and Xiao Sui'er, they share the same hatred at this moment. These people are pouring the wine and picking up the food themselves, so why do we still need our maids to stand here? Xiao Xian'er and Xiao Sui'er hate Su Jin and Su Jin the most.
Yan Biyun met and talked animatedly. Out of sight and out of mind, the two of them patted their butts and disappeared.
At a glance, I saw the masters and boys coming from each house, all well fed and drunk, sitting or lying down to rest in a cool and ventilated place in the courtyard. Xiao Xianer was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and shouted: "Go outside and cool down.
Do you think this is a bathhouse?"
The entourage was puzzled. This young lady has a speech impediment. Can she wear clothes in the bathhouse? dd
