The weather is very cold, Su Jin also returned to Fuzhong from Yamen early, and today came good news from Mingzhou Port, Su Ji's fleet returned from its fourth voyage smoothly, Su Jin was also very happy in his heart, not because he could make millions of dollars again, but because every time the fleet returned safely, it meant that the route to the country of Fan was more mature.

Seeing that Su Jin was happy, Yan Biyun also personally cooked a few specialty dishes, and scalded a pot of Bihu Spring for Su Jin, so that he could have a good drink.

Su Jin beckoned Yan Biyun to sit down and have a drink together, the husband and wife hadn't had a drink and talk together alone for a long time, Yan Biyun had high hair and was wearing a purple mink jacket, although she was in her thirties, her posture was still as light as a girl, and the skin on her face didn't even have a fold.

Su Jin drank a glass of wine, looked at Yan Biyun and praised: "Madame doesn't seem to be old, how can she always be like that when we met in Luzhou, I am a little jealous." ”

Yan Biyun chirped: "You can coax me to be happy, the concubines are thirty-three, and the tigers are ten years old, what are you talking about whether you are young or not, and the husband is not old, if you don't have a beard, you should be the same as before." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "What are you afraid of, in my heart, Mrs. will always be as shocking as the impression I gave me at the beginning, you see that I don't know what to do every day, if you don't manage the inside and outside in the past few years, I'm afraid the family will be chaotic." ”

Yan Biyun said with a smile: "If you let Ling'er Duanyun and the others hear it, they will definitely not follow, this big family, a big mess, how can the slave family be able to handle it alone, everyone is contributing." ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "That's different, just like a war, the commander is responsible for planning, the general is responsible for leading the troops to charge, the role is different, the commander is the soul of the whole army; Mrs. is the soul of my Su family, to put it mildly, it is a matter of the family, that is, I do things in the court, as long as I think of Mrs. supporting me in the back, I can also let go of my hands and feet with peace of mind. ”

Yan Biyun stroked her hair with a smile, and said with a red face: "When did the husband have such a sweet mouth, did you fall in love with a girl again, and wanted the concubine to help you be accommodating." ”

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said: "What are you talking about, you have to look at Shu, with you and I Su Jin still look at the idle flowers and weeds elsewhere?" Besides, Madame's skills are getting more and more powerful, your husband and I are very satisfied, it happens to be snowing tonight, and I will get some snow into the room in a while, how about we play ice and fire tonight? ”

Yan Biyun's face turned red, and he hurriedly looked left and right, and said: "If you don't cultivate, you can say such things, and if you hear it, will the slave family still have a face to see people in the future?" ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "I don't care, I will definitely want you to serve me tonight, I have been entangled in Ahri Nani and have a sore back in the past two days, or I am comfortable with my wife, swallowing slowly and vomiting, and the movement is appropriate, hmm...... Very good. ”

Yan Biyun raised his hand and wanted to fight, and said: "You still say, if you talk nonsense, the slave family will take all the wine and food to feed the pigs, and tell you to say something crazy about alcohol." ”

Su Jin laughed, and was about to laugh a few more words, but someone outside the door reported: "Old man, Mrs. Huang, the father-in-law in the palace is here, waiting in the side hall." ”

Su Jin was stunned and said, "It's so late, what is he doing?" ”

Yan Biyun hurriedly said: "Go quickly, since you are here, there must be something, and the concubine will change your clothes for you." ”

Su Jin changed his clothes and hat and stepped on the snow to the side hall of the front yard, lifted the curtain and went in, only to see Huang Peisheng, the chief attendant, sitting by the desk drinking tea, and Wang Chao accompanied him to talk.

Su Jin arched his hand and said with a smile: "Oh, what kind of wind blew the distinguished guest here?" I didn't tell you in advance, I was sluggish. ”

Huang Peisheng got up and arched his hand: "Su Shumi is good, he came in a hurry, and he came suddenly. ”

Su Jin stepped forward and grabbed Huang Peisheng's arm and said with a smile: "Where did the manager come from, the manager is busy on weekdays, and he can't invite him if he wants to, sit, sit down; The manager loves to drink good tea, and when he comes, he will bring the best fairy tea to a pot. ”

Wang Chao smiled: "Do you still use Gongzi to say?" That's what the second lady personally sent just now. ”

Su Jin looked at Huang Peisheng and said, "Oh, it seems that the second lady of my family knows a lot about the chief manager." ”

Huang Peisheng said with a smile: "It's not Lord Xia chewing the root of his tongue, that day he was playing chess with Lord Xia in Cuizhuyuan, Mrs. Zun happened to be Ning, and listened to Lord Xia's broken thoughts on the side, hey, it seems that my Lao Huang likes to go to other people's houses to please tea." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the guests and hosts sat down separately.

Huang Peisheng's eyes swept left and right in the hall, Su Jin immediately gave the dynasty a look, the dynasty understood, and said to a few servant maids who were standing: "Add a piece of fragrant cake, and then you can retreat, you must not be ordered, and you are not allowed to come in." ”

Everyone retreated, Wang Chao personally closed the front and rear hall doors, and stood behind Su Jin with his head down, Su Jin smiled and said: "The Lord in charge is visiting, there must be something to say, please speak clearly." ”

Huang Peisheng pondered for a while and said: "You have to promise me first, don't be excited, don't make a noise." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "Is there anything else that can make Su excited and nervous now?" I promise you yes. ”

Huang Peisheng nodded, and slowly talked about the conversation between Zhang Yaozuo and Han Jiang and the emperor that he heard in the imperial study this afternoon, and finally said: "Lord Su, my old Huang is the only one in the court who admires you the most, and I didn't want to tell you about it, but Zhang Yaozuo jumped away with the support of the concubine, I don't want to see Lord Su being slandered and framed by him, although the emperor won't believe his nonsense, but the pillow wind and the slander in his ears have heard a lot, and it is inevitable that there will be mustard in my heart, I came this time, It is to remind Lord Su that he wants to prevent these villains from slandering adults, and at the same time, he must also persuade adults that some things still need to be greeted and explained to the emperor, otherwise the emperor will be in the dark, and he will naturally have some mustard in his heart. ”

Su Jin almost scolded his mother angrily, his fingers were clenched, and his knuckles turned white; If it was before, I am afraid that he would have been scolded angrily, but now that the cultivation of the city government has made great progress, before the matter is clear, Su Jin will never easily expose his thoughts; But the dynasty behind him couldn't help but scold: "What kind of thing is Zhang Yaozuo? When my father-in-law worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty, where was the old boy? Tomorrow if the palace teaches me to see him, he will smash his mouth. ”

Su Jin hurriedly shouted: "What are you talking about, you are now also the commander of the Praetorian Guard, a dignified four-rank master, how can you speak like a country horseman, retreat." ”

Before the dynasty could speak, Su Jin was dumbfounded: "Do you want me to invite you out?" ”

Wang Chao was helpless, and he lifted the curtain and went out, and after a while, there was a sound of a stool kicking over, obviously Wang Chao kicked the stool away.

Su Jin sighed and said apologetically to Huang Peisheng: "Don't laugh at the head manager, General Wang was originally a slave of my Su Mansion, born in the countryside, and his temper is naturally hot, I hope I didn't surprise the head manager." ”

Huang Peisheng said with a smile on his fair face: "I admire General Wang's fast words, saying that General Wang is really respectful to adults, after all, he was trained by adults." ”

Su Jin smiled: "I laughed, in fact, he had already taken off his slavery, but he had been together for a long time and had some feelings; Now that they are officials in the same dynasty, they are treated as equals; He didn't want to move out when I told him to move out, and I couldn't drive him away, so I ...... Haha......"

Huang Peisheng snorted, and said in his heart: "What's the use of explaining this to me, this General Wang is a first-class officer, isn't he your house slave?" ”

"Lord Su doesn't seem to be 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 his trust to me Su Jin, Mr. Huang was able to brave the cold to come from the palace to tell me all this, and I Su Jin is very grateful." ”

Huang Peisheng waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about?" I am an old friend of Master Su, and he Zhang Yaozuo is a ball? When will it be his turn to speak about Lord Su's affairs? If anyone talks nonsense, I, Huang Peisheng, will be the first to refuse. ”

Su Jin said gratefully: "Thank you for the importance of the manager, but there is no need to care about this matter, as the saying goes, it is mediocre not to attract envy, I Su Jin has been an official for more than ten years, which day has not been spent in gossip, to tell the truth, my ears are calloused, there is not much more Zhang Yaozuo, less than him, let him go, the emperor has his own clear judgment." ”

Huang Peisheng was stunned and said, "Don't you even care about this?" ”

Su Jin smiled: "What do I care?" The one who is pure is the one who is turbid, and he says that I am what I am, and I am what I am. I'm so busy every day, but I don't have time to talk nonsense with him. ”

Huang Peisheng was silent for a while and said: "Master Su is open-minded, which is really admirable; But this is not an ordinary false accusation, it is an insinuation...... Insinuating that the adults have different intentions, besides, Zhang Yaozuo said that the Western Xia and the Tibetan Uighurs had a joint rebellion, and also said that if the matter is blamed, it will be blamed on the adults, this is not a simple slander, this is to put the adults to death. ”
