(Thank you to the people of Wild Crane Road for their generous rewards!) ）

Su Jin waited until the evening, although Yan Biyun was not lightly ill, but he never forgot Rou Niang's illness, urging Su Jin to go back to take care of Rou Niang, Su Jin saw that her complexion had improved a lot, so he told her to go home from Yan's mansion.

In the evening, after the rain, the sky was clear, and the sky was full of colorful clouds.

Su Jin breathed in the car the fragrance of fresh flowers and trees after the rain, his mood improved greatly, one at home was unconscious, one in Yan Mansion was sick, this day was extremely anxious, and at this moment he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least Yan Biyun's illness should be fine.

Early the next morning, Su Jin changed the image of the decadent Tang Dynasty, got up early and followed Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others to play some fists and kicks in the courtyard, bathed and repaired his face, regained his head and face, and after eating breakfast, he ordered Xiao Sui'er to prepare a generous gift and sit in the carriage and go straight to Ouyang Xiu's mansion.

Walking on the street, but hearing the sound of firecrackers, there seemed to be a lot of happy events on the street, and Su Jin didn't bother to inquire about the reason, and went straight to Ouyang Xiu's mansion.

Ouyang Xiu has not yet returned from the previous dynasty, and the housekeeper at home is polite, especially after reading Su Jin's famous post, knowing that this is Lord Su who has made great contributions in Yangzhou and Luzhou with his own adults, he was immediately in awe, and did his best to be respectful, and took a handyman to wait for Ouyang Xiu outside the palace gate, afraid that Ouyang Xiu would have no entertainment.

When the spring sun rose to a height of two or three zhang, Ouyang Xiu rushed back, and as soon as he entered the door of his courtyard, he said loudly: "Lord Su, oops...... I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's rude, why don't you send someone to inform me in advance, I might as well take leave today and not go to the court. ”

Su Jinxin said: This Ouyang Xiu's hand is so cute, don't you want to go to the court for me? However, although the words are false, it really nourishes people's hearts, so he got up and saluted and said with a smile: "How dare you delay Ouyang Zhongcheng's official business, the lower officials are just some private affairs." ”

"Speaking there, your brother's business is my Ouyang Xiu's business, sit down, Lao He, go and take out the new tea and make it for Master Su, and the distinguished guests will naturally have good tea." Ouyang Xiu laughed.

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Master, it has already been brewed, and the one who drinks it is." ”

Ouyang Xiu raised his finger and said: "Lao He is steady, yesterday Dali Temple Shaoqing Chen came, Lao He was not willing to make new tea, it seems that Brother Su's face is much bigger than him." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "Isn't Ouyang Zhongcheng looking down?" Everywhere to help the officials to take care of, back to Beijing for more than two months has been wanting to come to visit, and not idle, today is to remedy the remedy, Sui'er, go out and ask Xiaozhu to bring some of the gadgets we prepared on the carriage. ”

Xiao Sui'er said crisply, turned around and went out, and after a while, Xiao Zhu came in with a big box, looking cautious, there must be something valuable in the box.

Ouyang Xiu said with a face: "Brother, do you still need these between you and me?" Take it, take it, I can't ask for your stuff. ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Lord Ouyang's sleeves are clean, as the chief official of the Imperial History Terrace, he naturally wants to lead by example, but he is not sending any gold and silver treasures to bribe you, just some gadgets with some taste. ”

Ouyang Xiu was hung up and only smiled and didn't speak, Su Jin smiled and opened the box with his own hands, but when he saw the dazzling array of various objects in the box, Ouyang Xiu was dazzled.

Su Jin stretched out his hand and pointed: "I have heard that Ouyang Zhongcheng is brilliant, and he is also a master of today's poetry and lyrics, and there is a half-foot end inkstone in the lower collection, three boxes of high-grade Hui ink, eighteen large and small lake pens, and three knives of rice paper. ”

Ouyang Xiu thought it was some gold, silver, jewelry and other things, this kind of thing he couldn't accept after he was killed, first, Ouyang Xiu was not greedy for money, and Yu Shitai also talked about the corruption of officials all day long, how could he take the lead in collecting bribes, he was careful in this regard; But Su Jin's move is to attack his weakness, although Ouyang Xiu has a bad reputation in the court, but it does not harm his first-class literary talent, his articles and poems even Yan Shu and others have to pick a thumbs up, in the final analysis, he is just a literati.

The literati's favorite thing is naturally the things of the scholar's room, and the more great the writer, the more they pay attention to these; This is like a rag that a gluttoner can wear, but he must not get tired of eating and drinking; Gamblers can eat and drink, but they must have some spare money and a few grains of dice in their waists; Addicts, on the other hand, can ignore everything, but they must have something to swallow and spit out for pastime; The literati's love for the playthings in the study room is largely similar to this.

Su Jin didn't give up, still pointing to the things in the box one by one and said, "This is a three-color pen holder...... Jun kiln's pen wash, this is pen licking...... This is the water ...... Inkstone ...... This is the paperweight of white jade...... Inkstone ...... Ink Bed...... Zijin's paper knife ......"

Ouyang Xiuqi couldn't see through, his eyes widened, this is really the full set of study rooms he dreamed of, although these things are also in his study, but they are very rare to reach such specifications, and they can be exchanged for a full set in his study if they take one of the same; I was quite satisfied with the study room I had collected, but at the moment, it seemed that it was a frog at the bottom of the well, which was ridiculous.

Su Jin saw Ouyang Xiu's expression in his eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, although Ouyang Xiu tried his best to hide it, his expression could be disguised, but his eyes couldn't hide it.

In fact, Su Jin's request for Ouyang Xiu to protect the media was a deliberate move, although Ouyang Xiu helped him speak in the palace several times, but Su Jin was always not at ease about this person; Just like Zhao Zhen suddenly learned that he had opened a warehouse to release grain, Su Jin always felt that Ouyang Xiu was secretly informing.

Regardless of whether he informs or not, Ouyang Xiu still has to be enveloped, he told the emperor that he still has a way to live, if he spreads his big mouth in the court, then he has no way to live; Even if this matter is shaken out, it is not good for Ouyang Xiu himself, but after all, he is not the main culprit, and it can only be Su Jin who loses his head, so whether it is asking Ouyang Xiu to protect the media or giving these heavy gifts, it is Su Jin's move to win over and block his mouth, these things have long been wanted to do, but at this moment, he just took the opportunity to ask him to protect the media to send a shot, and others are beyond reproach.

"This ...... It's too precious...... The official ...... Can this official ...... Harvest. Ouyang Xiu's tongue was a little unstraight.

Su Jin smiled: "What is this?" It's nothing compared to the adult's care for the lower officials; By the way, there is also a small stone here, which is pressed under the chest, and I almost forgot it. ”

Su Jin carefully took out a small wooden box the size of a palm from under the box, and after opening it gently, there was a bright yellow stone about one and a half fingers long and about a pigeon egg lying inside; Su Jin took out the stone and handed it to Ouyang Xiu and said: "The lower official prepared a seal, and I wanted to find someone to help the adult carve it, but when I thought that the adult himself was proficient in the art of gold and stone, and the engraving of others was not satisfactory, he brought the stone intact; Lord Zhongcheng take a look, can it be useful? ”

Ouyang Xiu's heart was beating wildly, he took this stone and looked left and right, got up and came to the entrance of the hall, and raised the stone to the sun to look carefully, but saw that under the sun, the whole stone revealed a golden halo, and faintly seemed to be condensed and transparent, looking warm and noble, extraordinary.

Ouyang Xiu hurriedly turned around, came to Su Jin's side and said, "This ...... What kind of jade is this? ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "You are a master of Jinshi, but you came to ask me, in my opinion, it is just a yellow stone that cannot be used to build a wall and cannot be killed by smashing people." ”

Ouyang Xiu knew in his heart that this was the best Shoushan Tian Huangshi, and although it was a bit exaggerated in the world, it was said that 'one or two Tian Huangshi, ten thousand taels of snowflake silver', but this kind of precious stone is rare in the world, and this is still a piece of great quality and beauty, and it is even more valuable.

Ouyang Xiu had the heart to refuse, but this was exactly what he dreamed of, no matter what else he wanted, but this stone was worth more than 100,000 yuan, plus these other things, the total price was more than 200,000 yuan, Su Jin gave himself such a big gift at once, what is this asking him to do? Could it be that there is something to exonerate him?

Love is love, Ouyang Xiuke has a heart, ask clearly first, don't be dragged into the pit by this kid for this 200,000 yuan.

"This ...... Brother Su is so gracious, the official is really ashamed, you have something to ask the official to help, I don't know what it is? ”

Su Jin knew that Ouyang Xiu had learned to be well-behaved, and this time he didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan wants to ask Ouyang Zhongcheng to help me keep a matchmaker, and ask Yan Sansi to hire Miss Yan as his wife. ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "That's it?" ”

Su Jin said: "That's it, there's nothing else to ask for." ”

Ouyang Xiu said unwillingly: "Isn't there anything else?" ”

Su Jin said: "Isn't Lord Ouyang unwilling?" ”

Ouyang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "How can you not want to, this is the honor of this official, you and the daughter of the Yan family are a match made in heaven, I thought that the emperor would come to protect the media, but I didn't expect this official to have this honor, what I didn't say, it was wrapped up in me." ”

Su Jin bowed to the end and said: "I am grateful for it, I am already preparing the dowry in the next house, why don't you follow me to the cold house, and then I will order someone to carry the dowry to follow you to the Yan Mansion for employment?" ”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned and said, "Is it today?" ”

Su Jin said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, can't you do it today?" ”

Ouyang Xiu laughed and said, "You monkey is in a hurry, for fear that the daughter of the Yan family will not be able to fly?" ”

Su Jin smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I beg your lord to move!" ”
