The weather was severely cold, so Su Jin also returned to his hometown from the Yamen early. Good news came from Mingzhou Port today. Su Ji's fleet returned successfully from its fourth voyage. Su Jin was also very happy, not that he could make another profit.
The reason for the millions of dollars, but because every time the fleet returns safely, it means that the route to the country of Fan is more mature.
Seeing that Su Jin was happy, Yan Biyun also cooked a few specialty side dishes himself, boiled a pot of Bihuchun for Su Jin, and let him drink to his heart's content.
Su Jin invited Yan Biyun to sit down and have a drink together. It had been a long time since the couple had a drink together and had a heart-to-heart talk. Yan Biyun's hair was high and she was wearing a purple mink fur jacket. Although she was already thirty years old, she still looked like a girl.
It's as light as ever, and there isn't even a wrinkle on the skin on the face.
Su Jin drank a glass of wine, looked at Yan Biyun and praised: "Madam seems to never grow old. Why is she always looking the same as when we met in Luzhou? I'm a little jealous."
Yan Biyun spat: "Just make me happy. I am already thirty-three years old, and Hu'er is ten years old. How can I talk about being young? My husband is not old. If he hadn't grown a beard, he would be just like before."
"
Su Jin laughed and said: "What are you afraid of at thirty-three? In my heart, Madam will always be as amazing as the impression she gave me at the beginning. You see, I don't know what I am busy with every day. In the past few years, if you hadn't taken care of the inside and outside, my family would
I’m afraid everything is in chaos.”
Yan Biyun said with a smile: "If Ling'er Duanyun and the others hear what you say, they will definitely not obey you. This big family and a huge problem cannot be handled by just one person in the slave family. Everyone is contributing."
Su Jin shook his head and said: "That's different, just like fighting. The commander is responsible for planning, and the general is responsible for leading the troops to charge. Their roles are different. The commander is the soul of the entire army; my wife is the soul of my Su family. Slowly
It's a family matter, even if I'm working in the court, as long as I think of my wife's support behind me, I can feel at ease and let go."
Yan Biyun stroked her hair with a smile, and said with a blushing face: "When did you become so sweet-tongued? Have you fallen in love with another girl and want me to help you be accommodating?"
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said: "What are you talking about? Since I have to look forward to Shu, with you and me, can Su Jin still look at the idle flowers and weeds elsewhere? Besides, my wife's skills are getting more and more powerful, you
Sir, I am very satisfied. It happens to be snowing tonight. I will bring some snow balls into the room later. How about we play in the world of ice and fire tonight?"
Yan Biyun blushed, quickly looked around, and spat: "I don't know how to say such things, and if my servants can hear them, will my family still have the face to see people in the future?"
Su Jin chuckled and said: "I don't care, I have to have you serve me tonight. I've been in pain from Ah Li Nanizi for the past two days, but I still feel comfortable with my wife, vomiting slowly, moving and quiet at the same time, um...
…very nice."
Yan Biyun raised his hand to strike and spat: "You also said that if you talk nonsense again, I will take all the food and wine to feed the pigs and ask you to say something drunk and crazy."
Su Jin burst out laughing. He was about to make some more jokes when someone outside the door reported: "Master and Madam, Eunuch Huang from the palace is here and is waiting in the side hall."
Su Jin was stunned and said: "It's so late, what is he doing here?"
Yan Biyun said hurriedly: "Go quickly. Since you're here, something must have happened. I'll change your clothes for you."
Su Jin put on her clothes and hat and walked through the snow to the side hall of the front yard. She opened the curtain and went in. She saw Huang Peisheng, the head chamberlain, sitting at the table drinking tea. Wang Chao accompanied him and kept talking.
Su Jin put his hands forward and smiled: "Oh, what kind of wind has brought this distinguished guest here? I didn't tell you in advance, it's a shame."
Huang Peisheng stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Hello, Privy Secretary Su, I came in a hurry and unexpectedly."
Su Jin stepped forward and took Huang Peisheng's arm and said with a smile: "What did the manager say? The manager is busy on weekdays and can't even invite me. Sit down, sit down quickly; the manager loves to drink good tea. If you come, I will invite the best immortals."
Make a pot of tea."
Chao Chao smiled and said, "Do you still say that you are a master? This is what I brewed. The second lady personally sent it to me just now."
Su Jin looked at Huang Peisheng and said, "Oh, it seems that my second wife knows the manager very well."
Huang Peisheng said with a smile: "It's not Mr. Xia's gossip. I was playing chess with Mr. Xia in Cuizhuyuan that day. Madam happened to be in Ning. She listened to Mr. Xia's thoughts nearby. Hey, it made it seem like I, Mr. Huang, like to run.
It’s like going to someone’s house to ask for tea.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the host and guest took their seats respectively.
Huang Peisheng glanced left and right in the hall, and Su Jin immediately winked at the dynasty. The dynasty understood and said to several serving servants and maids: "Add a piece of fragrant cake, and then you will retreat. No orders are allowed, and you are not allowed to come in."
.”
Everyone retreated, Wang Chao closed the front and rear hall doors with his own hands, and stood behind Su Jin with his head bowed. Su Jin smiled and said: "The manager is here to visit. He must have something to say. Please speak clearly."
Huang Peisheng pondered for a long time and said: "You must first promise me not to get excited or make any noise after hearing this."
Su Jin nodded and said: "Is there anything else that can make Su excited and nervous now? I promise you it will be."
Huang Peisheng nodded, and slowly recounted all the conversations that Zhang Yaozuo, Han Jiang, and others had with the emperor that he heard in the imperial study this afternoon. Finally, he said: "Master Su, besides you, the only person in the court who admires the most is you, Mr. Huang.
Originally I didn’t want to tell you about this, but Zhang Yaozuo relied on the support of the imperial concubine to escape. I don’t want to see Mr. Su being slandered and framed by him. Although the emperor will not believe his lies, the wind in the pillow and the whisper in his ears
After hearing too many slanderous words, it is inevitable that you will have a grudge in your heart. I came here this time to give Mr. Su a warning to prevent these villains from slandering you. At the same time, I also want to advise you that there are some things that you still need to say hello to the emperor.
The one who explains it, otherwise the emperor will be kept in the dark and he will naturally have some grudges in his heart."
Su Jin was so angry that he almost cursed his mother. He clenched his fingers tightly and turned his knuckles white with force. If it were before, he would have cursed him angrily, but now the city has made great progress. Before the matter is clear, Su Jin will never take it easy.
Revealing his own thoughts, the Dynasty behind him couldn't help but cursed: "What the hell is Zhang Yaozuo? When my young master worked hard to build the Song Dynasty, where was that old boy? If I see him in the palace tomorrow,
, his mouth will be smashed."
Su Jin shouted hurriedly: "What are you talking about? You are now also the commander of the Imperial Guard, a dignified fourth-rank official. How can you speak like a country man and retreat?"
Before Wang Dynasty could speak, Su Jin stared at him and said, "Do you still want me to invite you out?"
Wang Chao had no choice but to angrily lift the curtain and go out. After a while, the sound of a stool being kicked was heard from outside. It was obviously Wang Chao who kicked the stool away.
Su Jin sighed and said apologetically to Huang Peisheng: "Master Manager, please don't laugh. General Wang is a slave of my Su Mansion. He comes from a rural background and naturally speaks with a hot temper. I hope the Manager is not shocked."
Huang Peisheng said with a smile on his fair face: "I admire General Wang's quick words. General Wang is really respectful to you. After all, he was trained by you."
Su Jin said with a smile: "What a joke. In fact, he has already got rid of his slave status. It's just that we have been together for a long time and have some feelings. Now that we are officials in the same court, we treat each other as equals. He is not willing to move out if I ask him." , I couldn’t drive him away, so...haha..."
Huang Peisheng laughed and thought to himself: "What's the use of explaining this to me? General Wang is a first-class official, isn't he your domestic slave?"
"Master Su doesn't seem angry at all. How do you feel about this matter?"
Su Jin thought for a while and said: "First of all, I am very grateful to Mr. Huang for being sincere to me, Su Jin. Mr. Huang braved the cold to come from the palace to tell me all this. I, Su Jin, am extremely grateful."
Huang Peisheng waved his hands and said: "Why are you saying that? Mr. Su and I are old friends, and he, Zhang Yaozuo, is just a joke? When will it be his turn to speak about Mr. Su's affairs? If anyone talks nonsense, I, Huang Peisheng, will be the first to refuse. .”
Su Jin said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Manager, for taking this matter seriously, but you don't need to pay attention to this matter. As the saying goes, if you don't make others jealous, you are mediocre. In the more than ten years since I, Su Jin, have been an official, there has never been a day when I have not been surrounded by rumors." But, to be honest, I have calluses in my ears. One more Zhang Yaozuo is not much, and one less Zhang Yaozuo is not much. Let him go, the emperor will make his own decision."
Huang Peisheng said in astonishment: "Don't you actually care about this matter?"
Su Jin smiled and said, "What do I care? The pure will be pure and the turbid will be turbid. What does he say about me? I am so busy every day that I don't have time to talk nonsense with him."
Huang Peisheng was silent for a while and said: "Master Su has a broad mind, which is really admirable; but this matter is not an ordinary frame-up, it is an insinuation... an insinuation that you have different intentions. Besides, Zhang Yaozuo said that Xixia and the Tubo Uighurs jointly conspired to rebel. He also said that if he is to blame for this matter, he will be blamed on you. This is not a simple slander, it is going to kill you."
