Su Jin and Yan Biyun rushed to the official post to see Yan Shu, Yan Biyun asked Su Jin to go in a little later, so as not to see the two of them entering and leaving together, attracting criticism, there are many people in the official post, and the large and small subordinate officials who followed Yan Shu are all there, as long as they are looked at by these people, it is difficult to ensure that the capital is boiling all over the city.

Su Jin stayed outside for about a stick of incense, and then came to the gate of the official post and respectfully asked the soldiers guarding the door to report.

The servant led Su Jin to the inner hall in the rear, and Yan Shu had already retired from everyone and waited for tea in a room; Su Jin saw the servants and servants who were busy packing up, and knew that Yan Shu was going to leave for Beijing in the morning, and this meeting seemed to be very difficult, and it had to be a long story short.

The two of them saw that the ceremony was over, Yan Shu invited Su Jin to sit down, made another cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Is Su Gongzi from Luzhou?" ”

Su Jin said respectfully: "Born in the south of Luzhou City. ”

Yan Shu said: "Luzhou is a good place, I have been to it a few years ago, the people there are simple, especially good and loyal ministers, the north and south meet the place, there are both the northern people bold, but also the southern people of the fine, can be regarded as a mediocre place." ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "Lord Xie praises, the people of Luzhou are peaceful people, and it is indeed a good place." ”

Yan Shu looked at Su Jin and said: "Master Bao sent me a letter, specifically talking about you, I am also a long-time son, and I really want to meet and talk to you." ”

Su Jin arched his hand and said: "In the next grass people, I don't dare to be it, but Lord Yan is a great Song Zhushi, and the students are really excited to see the adults." ”

Yan Shu smiled: "Do you want to know what Bao Zheng said about you?" ”

Su Jin scratched his head and said: "I'm afraid that Master Bao is a little dissatisfied with the students, and I'm afraid that the students are not the type that Master Bao likes." ”

Yan Shu smiled dumbly and said, "This is interesting, what type do you think Master Bao likes?" ”

Su Jin said: "Master Bao is solemn and dignified, and he must like people of the same type as him, but Lord Bao is really good to students, and this time he can come to Yingtian Academy to study, it is the power of Lord Bao." ”

Yan Shu smiled and said: "You like to move your mind, and your mind is also lively, but this time you are overliving, Bao Zheng's letter praised you greatly, saying that you are different, and if you carve it over time, you must be a good talent in the auxiliary country." ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "Don't you dare to be, Master Bao is ashamed to kill a student." Su Jin also muttered in his heart, how could Bao Zheng value himself so much, he had only been dating him for a few days, and the two had only communicated with each other a few times, why did he get such a high evaluation; It must have been made up by Lord Yan.

Yan Shu laughed and said: "I have long heard that you act unexpectedly, and your self-confidence is very strong, why are you so humble at this time, don't you even dare to fight Zhu Shiyong's son in Yanei in Luzhou?" also suffered a lawsuit because of this matter, and was almost killed by Zhu Shiyong, you are bold, the confrontation between the people and the officials, isn't it an egg hitting a stone? ”

Su Jin frowned and thought, "Why is Lord Yan such a tune, it is Su Jin's mistake to listen to his tone." ”

Yan Shu continued: "Courage is a little bold, but it is not careful, acting recklessly is not a merit, some things have to be done in a roundabout way, do not go on a rampage, you can't knock down the south wall, but you will break your head and bleed, isn't it a fool's doing." ”

Su Jin didn't know what he was referring to, if he said that he had a fight with Zhu Shiyong, it would be forgivable, his own incident was indeed reckless, and people were waiting to pull your pigtails, so he sent it to the door.

"The lesson is that students are working hard to overcome this frizziness."

Yan Shu pondered for a while and suddenly said: "The mouth is not right, it seems that you really have a lot of problems." ”

Su Jin was a little surprised when he heard the words, Yan Biyun was not in the hall, and he really didn't know how he offended this Lord Yan.

"Su Jin, your courage is really not small, ignoring ethics and morality, ignoring people's reputations and their own future, having something to do with other people's wives, ignoring the world's etiquette, such an act, and praising you for that Bao Zheng, I think you are a bastard."

Yan Shu's sudden change of face made Su Jin unprepared, this adult turned his face faster than turning a book, he was smiling a little one moment, and the next moment it was cloudy, and he was really a little overwhelmed.

"Adults are angry, although the students' actions are somewhat obedient, but they are affectionate and polite, and there is no place for them to deviate."

"You are still quibbling, the official asked you, don't you know that Biyun is a married man? Why did you come to tease her again, Biyun girl is already suffering, your behavior is tantamount to hanging a sign on her head, so that people in the world point to her nose and scold, is this what you call affection? You ignore the words of others, enter and exit Biyun's residence as if it were your own back house, and provoke everyone's sideways, is this what you call rude? Not only that, Biyun is the niece of the official, what you did is tantamount to smearing the official's face, what are your intentions? Yan Shu said sharply.

Su Jin couldn't cry or laugh, why is this Lord Yan such an unreasonable person, a thousand things are not, all the rights and wrongs are all on his head, this is okay, the key is that Su Jin can't agree with what he said at all, this teaches Su Jin how to endure it, look at this, Lord Yan is going to beat the mandarin duck, the happiness that has just arrived is about to be lost, how can Su Jin be willing to give up.

"Lord Yan is angry, and listen to the next word." Su Jin got up and arched his hand.

"What can you say? I'm afraid it's also a crooked reason to say it, the official already knows that you can be good at arguing, and you can make a few fresh little words, if you think that you can fool the official by this, you are wrong. Yan Shu sneered.

Su Jin let out a burst of anger from the bottom of his heart, what the hell is going on, didn't Yan Biyun talk to Lord Yan about this? Listening to Yan Biyun's tone, it seems that Lord Yan has agreed to the matter between the two, why is this face now.

Su Jin felt that either this Lord Yan was testing himself, or Lord Yan deceived Yan Biyun, coaxed him to come here to meet, and then made a blow to make him retreat from Yan Biyun; If it's the former, it's fine, if it's the latter, Yan Shu's behavior is really despicable.

Because of Yan Biyun's affection, although Su Jin was angry, he still managed to keep his composure, and said with a smile: "Lord Yan, how about listening to me?" Even criminals have the right to plead their defenses. ”

Yan Shu reprimanded with an angry face: "If I don't listen to you, what can you do?" Do you think that officials all over the world are like Zhu Shiyong, and you can't play tricks? In front of this official, if you say a wrong word, you will be sent to the head, and there is no Bao Zheng who doesn't know how to turn to save you here. ”

Su Jin was completely cold, this Yan Shu's words and deeds didn't seem to be testing himself at all, but it was a very unreasonable image of a cool official, especially when Bao Zheng ridiculed, which made Su Jin feel unbearable, that was his benefactor and idol.

Su Jin no longer wronged himself, and protested: "I have heard that Lord Yan is reasonable and distinguishes between black and white, and is a good official who is loyal and loves the people. ”

Yan Shu said angrily: "Do you know that just by virtue of your words, this official can cure you of the crime of being an unofficial?" ”

"If an official like you wants to add a crime, do you need others to offend? If you look at you, you will say that you are contemptuous, if you fart, you will say that it stinks to you, and if you spit and foam, you will say that you are deliberately drowning, and you are really sorry for Biyun, how did you get such an uncle, but fortunately, Biyun came out of the sludge and was not stained, and was not made unreasonable by a mediocre official like you. ”

"Shut up, Biyun's maiden name is what you, Diao Min, can call me? You are arrogant, but it's a pity that your heart is higher than the sky and your life is thinner than paper, and after a while, the official will repair the book to Qi Shanchang, expel you from the academy, and order the Ministry of Rites and Rites to blacklist your Su Jin's name, and never allow you to participate in the imperial examination, which is the price of your disrespectful words. ”

"Even if I do it well, I don't want to be a bird official, and if I become an official, I have to look at your face every day, so I might as well live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to see birds, animals, trees, flowers and plants." Su Jin was so angry that he had already begun to say nothing.

"Okay, just because you are so tough, if you don't drive you to the barren mountains and mountains to face the loess with your back to the sky, I can't bear your revenge."

Su Jin turned his head and left, his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and he thought silently in his heart: "Yan Biyun, Yan Biyun, do you know that this uncle of yours is simply not a thing, unreasonable and barbaric and domineering, I am afraid that there will be many difficulties between you and me." ”

"Stop, did the official allow you to go? I really don't know what to say. Yan Shu shouted.

Su Jin turned around and said with a smile: "The legs are long on me, and I didn't kill or set fire below, I'm afraid where are you?" ”

Yan Shu said: "If you say that you can't go, you won't be able to go out for the rest of your life, and you won't look at what kind of place this is; The official gives you two choices, if you choose the right one, you can leave immediately, and if you choose the wrong one, the official will teach you to never see the light of day for a lifetime. ”

Su Jin was almost mad, only then did he really understand the pain of having nowhere to reason, although he couldn't argue with this kind of unscrupulous cool official, seeing the pupils of the people outside the house, it was obvious that the officials and soldiers were holding the door, and if he broke in, he was afraid that he would be hacked to death by a knife.

He secretly warned himself to be calm, he must not lose his life on impulse, Zhu Shiyong dared to disregard human life, not to mention that you are a member of the first rank of the third envoy, his mind turned to think of the way to get out, and at the same time said perfunctorily: "I want to hear what the adults think." ”

"Even if you know each other, the first choice is that you will no longer pester my niece Biyun, and you will not be allowed to see each other for life, and I promised this, I promise that you will be able to take the imperial examination high school next year, with your wisdom and intelligence, you may be able to have a smooth sailing career, and you can also mix with a county magistrate and governor at the worst, not to mention the glory of the ancestors, and you can still be blessed by this official from now on."

Su Jin said coldly: "What about the second option?" ”

"The second choice is that you will be banned from the imperial examination with your ridiculous insistence, and the official will keep an eye on you all the time, you should believe that it is easy for the official to find your handle, as you said, as long as you stare at me, I can make you a crime of disrespect, confiscate your family property, and send the whole family to a bitter cold place, so that you will be dark for the rest of your life."

Su Jin's heart was dripping blood, this old thing was simply too poisonous, and it was too appropriate for his heart to be used on him like a snake and scorpion, Su Jin quickly thought about countermeasures, only to hear Yan Shu say again:

"You don't have any crooked ideas, I know you have a lot of ideas, pretend to agree at the moment, regret it when you go out, and tell me Biyun's niece in a blink of an eye, this official doesn't want Biyun to hate me for a lifetime, although I am good for her, she is confused by you, I am afraid that she will not appreciate it; If you agree to the first article, you must make a written note without repentance, and write a letter of despair, which will be forwarded by the official on your behalf; The official will also write down a note for you, so that you will have a smooth career in the future and let you be prosperous and rich for a lifetime. ”

Su Jin had just thought of pretending to agree, and the plan to take care of it after getting out was completely bankrupt with these few words, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Yan Shu looked at Su Jin's expression and said proudly: "Even if you choose the second one, it's actually the same, you don't have a chance to see Biyun, but you can't fall into anything, you are a smart person, you should know how to choose." ”
