(Ask for subscription)
The wine is good wine, the food is also a good dish, Su Jin eats very comfortably, everyone in the seat is constantly sycophant, and the shooting is also very useful; Yan Shu was also quite happy, the wine was dry and happy, and he kept saying witty words in his mouth, saying some literati anecdotes and officialdom jokes, which made everyone laugh.
Su Jin noticed a detail, whenever someone asked about the specific situation of his errand, Yan Shu cleverly diverted the topic and prevented them from continuing to ask; Of course, Su Jin knows the twists and turns, in fact, he doesn't need Yan Shu to be like this, he will also deal with it carefully, after all, although the errand is done, but he has a lot of dirty and dirty things in it, once he says that he leaks his mouth, he will immediately change from a hero to a prisoner, which Su Jin knows better than anyone else.
An official with ulterior motives tried several times to no avail, and thought that Su Jin would talk about his own proudness without hindrance, but unexpectedly, this young man's mouth was tighter than anything else, except for talking about the history of the barnyard in the wind and snow, and he did not spit out half a word when he mentioned the matter of this grain affairs; In addition, Yan Shu interrupted on the side, and even half-jokingly warned those who refused to give up asking in the form of punishment for wine a few times, and these people finally had no choice but to give up the idea of digging up some fierce information.
For these people, once they lose the opportunity to listen to the inside story of their privacy, the wine and food also become tasteless, and when Guozijian said that Sun Fu trembled his lips and discussed poetry and songs with Su Jin, these people chose to leave without hesitation.
"The night will be the second watch, the journey of the Su envoy must be very hard, today I really admire the envoy's demeanor, I just came to disturb, and please Yan Sansi and Su envoy don't blame us for being presumptuous." Cai Long took a glass of wine and got up.
"The old man proposes that we drink it together, tomorrow morning, the emperor's grace will be immense, and the envoy will inevitably increase his official rank and soar to the throne after making this great achievement, this glass of wine can be regarded as our congratulations to the envoy Su in advance, how about it?"
Everyone got up and raised their glasses and said, "That's right, it can be regarded as congratulating the envoy Su in advance." ”
Yan Shu said with a smile: "You have a good calculation, take the old man's wine as a favor, or not, the old man also joined in the fun, and also came to wish the envoy Su to be able to soar, and make more contributions to my Great Song Dynasty in the future and become a pillar of the country." ”
Su Jin staggered to the cup, seemed to be a little excited, and said with a big tongue: "You are affectionate and friendly, why is Su Jin so decent?" If it weren't for the emperor's favor, Yan Sansi's recommendation, and the help of the officials in the DPRK and China, how could I have the opportunity to serve the country? Feihuang Tengda doesn't want to be in the next, this glass of wine doesn't have to respect me, let's raise a glass together, I wish the Great Song Dynasty wind and rain every year, the family is happy and peaceful, there is no drought and flood in the world, and the court will always be politically harmonious, as long as this wish is achieved, it is to return to be my grass people, and I am also willing. ”
"Good mind, good spirit, although the envoy Su is young, this mind and spirit are one in a hundred miles, the old man is an eye-opener, no wonder Mr. Fang Zimo of Yingtian Academy corresponded with me, and he greatly appreciated the mention of the Su envoy, and the old man was skeptical at the beginning, but now the old man really believes it." Sun Fu said excitedly with his big finger.
Cai Long rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "Who wouldn't say such a scene?" Is that worthy of such appreciation? I can't see that this nerd descendant will also be a sycophant, and he will pick the right time. ”
Sun Fu said that he raised his neck and drank cleanly, and everyone echoed and drank all the wine cups; Cai Long and the others immediately left one after another on the grounds of not disturbing Su Jin's rest, and Yan Shu did not stay, and ordered the servants in the mansion to send everyone to their respective carriages one by one with lanterns, and handed them over to the little servants who came to follow and serve.
Sun Fu was still waiting to stay and talk to Su Jin, and Yan Shu said that he used two jars of Xinghua Village wine as bait to send him back to the residence of the prisoner.
Everyone was almost gone, Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the hall, ordered the maids to clean up the leftovers, and after the servants sprinkled and swept the hall, they put on green tea, and lit a few pillars of sandalwood to press the wine in the hall.
Su Jin had the opportunity to greet Fu Bi, Yang Cha and others, these two are Yan Shu's eldest son-in-law and second son-in-law, naturally Yan Shu's unbreakable alliance, the last time I drank with them in the capital in Yan Mansion, it has been four months.
Su Jin first apologized to Fu Bi: "Brother Yanguo, the younger brother heard that my little maid offended you a lot a year ago, and the younger brother has already punished her after learning about this. ”
Fu Bi's face turned red, remembering the scene of being pulled off the horse by Xiao Sui'er that day and falling all over the horse manure, he waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, your maid is very protective of you, there has been no news for a long time since you left Beijing, they are naturally worried about your safety, and the foolish brother didn't take care of them in time is also a fault." ”
Su Jin laughed and said: "I heard that Brother Yanguo's official uniform was dirty, this time I specially ordered the ready-to-wear shop at home to make two sets for you, which can be regarded as making amends." ”
Yan Shu had already heard about this, and when he heard this, he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Su Jin, I'm afraid you won't need that official uniform." ”
Su Jin said: "What? ”
Fu Bi smiled: "Brother Fool is no longer in the Criminal Department. ”
Su Jin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out that it was promoted, congratulations to Brother Yanguo, this is to invite you to eat and drink." ”
Fu Bi laughed and said: "Eating and drinking is a trivial matter, and it is not a high promotion, and the current official position is the right right to speak and know the system, hmm...... It's a little bit of a rise. ”
Su Jin was stunned and said, "What kind of official is this?" The little brother doesn't understand. ”
Yan Shu twisted his beard and said: "You naturally don't understand, you haven't started yet, you Zhengyan is a subordinate official of the Imperial Court, and he belongs to the status of an official." ”
Su Jin said: "Isn't that the same as Cai Long just now?" ”
Yan Shu shook his head and said: "The identity is the same, but Yan Guo's right is just a name, his real identity is the knowledge of the system, as the name suggests, the person who knows the system is the person who drafts the edict by the emperor's side, Yan Guo also has a title is the Hanlin Bachelor, my Great Song Dynasty official system, with the Hanlin Bachelor plus the knowledge of the system, that is' Internal system', if it is not a person with excellent literary and elegant character, how can he be competent, and he is beside the saint, this position can be regarded as the rank of advanced chief assistant; As for the identity of the counselor, it was specially given by the emperor, and it was just that Yanguo was qualified to speak to the emperor, which was comparable to Cai Long. ”
Su Jin opened his eyes wide and said: Fuck, I haven't seen this product so good in four months, and it has been mixed from the criminal department to the emperor.
Needless to say, Yan Shu must have made a lot of efforts to install Fu Bi next to the emperor to draft an edict, that is to say, what edict the emperor wants to issue, Yan Shu can know one step earlier than everyone else, this move is really wonderful.
And if this position is a ladder leading to the position of the ruler of the two governments, it is equivalent to cultivating the next successor.
"Congratulations to Brother Yanguo, Brother Hexiyan, it seems that those two sets of official uniforms are indeed useless, Brother Yanguo's flying is just around the corner, please bring more little brother in the future."
"Phew! Do you want me to carry it? Isn't the emperor going to reward you greatly this time? You have a big enough face, the emperor personally went out of the city to greet him, you ask your father-in-law, who has enjoyed such treatment in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? ”
Su Jin was stunned and said, "Hasn't anyone ever enjoyed such treatment?" Didn't Lu Xiang and Sanji enjoy it either? ”
Yan Shu shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't have as much face as you. ”
Su Jin raised his forehead and said: "No wonder Ouyang Zhongcheng is scared to death, it seems that this matter is not necessarily a good thing." ”
Fu Bi smiled: "You are hypocritical." ”
Yan Shu frowned and said, "Su Jin's worries are not unreasonable, and this move may not be a good thing. ”
Su Jinfu and Yang Cha were all taken aback, Yan Shu said that it was not a good thing, it seems that there is a lot of article in it.
"Could it be that the emperor's move is not to praise Su Jin? The emperor tried his best to greet him, but it didn't seem like he had another purpose. Fu Bi hesitated.
"yes!" Yang Cha echoed: "I heard that Lu Xiangdu had an unpleasant quarrel with the emperor because of this, and said that he couldn't get sick, is it a play?" ”
Yan Shu shook his head and said: "Don't speculate too much, the emperor is sincere, I say it may not be a good thing, but it refers to the reaction between the government and the opposition, this matter is not in line with the etiquette system, and it makes many people unhappy, which is very unfavorable to Su Jin; No one will act with the emperor openly, they will target Su Jin, and there will be a good show tomorrow morning. ”
Su Jin scratched his head and said, "What kind of trick is this?" The emperor is also not authentic, I don't believe that he doesn't know that this will make me the target of public criticism. ”
Yan Shu looked at Su Jin and said: "Maybe the answer to this question will be found from you, you must have done something to make the emperor unhappy, the emperor is the king of benevolence and righteousness, and he will naturally not be less rewarded than he should give, but it depends on whether you deserve this reward, and the old man has no answer to this question, because what you did on Huainan Road, the old man doesn't know much, so he can't answer it to you." ”
Su Jin scratched his head and was silent, he could hear the complaint in Yan Shu's words, but Su Jin made up his mind not to tell Yan Shu everything, it was better for the things he did to rot in his stomach, and it would not be good for him to tell Yan Shu.
But Yan Shu's words reminded Su Jin that he should not expect too much from the reward of tomorrow's early dynasty, if he was not in the right position and really regarded himself as a great hero, it would be a big mistake.
