(Thank you Ai Ai for talking about it, and two classmates Xiao Mu Mu for generously giving rewards. I would like to criticize Mu Mu for the reward. It is an attitude of sincere support and I am very happy. Why should I be too modest? Of course, if I am financially well-off, I will reward more. I am even more happy. For example, I am very happy that classmate Ai-ai is so generous; I decided to arrange a supporting role for classmate Ai-ai. The name Ai-ai is very suitable for brothel professionals.)
Tianse took over the main hall, and Su Jin occupied several plates of seasonal side dishes plus some wild duck with soy sauce bought at the market, one plate with soy sauce beef, one plate of fried quails, and the plate was set up lively. Su Jin and Wei Songhe also drank a few jiao of wine. The two drank wine together.
Of course Wei Songhe didn't like living in the academy, but he had no choice but to live in the academy because of his poor family background and lack of education. Seeing Su Jin's luxurious and comfortable life, he couldn't help but sigh.
After drinking for three rounds, Su Jin let out a long sigh of relief. It is true that wine can relieve fatigue. After the past few days, he was physically and mentally exhausted. After three glasses of strong wine, he felt comfortable all over.
"Brother Su, I heard that you, Su Ji, are one of the four major merchants in Luzhou. Why do you choose to write this book when you are living a leisurely life?" Wei Songhe said.
Su Jin chewed the quail leg in his mouth, swallowed it, picked up a sweat towel and wiped his mouth, saying: "I want to experience another kind of life. Life is so fleeting for decades. If I could experience it more, wouldn't it be a lifetime success?" For several lifetimes?"
Wei Songhe was a little confused. He had only interacted with Su Jin a few times, but he had already heard about this person's words and deeds. Everyone knew about the Su family's petty officials in Luzhou. He just asked about it knowingly, but he didn't expect that this person Yunshan Wuzhao said that there was no change. It’s a practical statement; but it’s not unreasonable.
"I heard that Brother Su offended the magistrate in Luzhou. Is this part of your experience of life? Offending the magistrate is no joke. I think this is the real reason why you came to the academy to study in the academy, Brother Su, to gain a good official career. Brother Su, why do you need to be secretive when you have time to protect yourself?"
Wei Songhe was a straightforward person by nature, and even more so when he was drunk, he told the secrets without any hesitation.
Su Jin secretly admired Wei Songhe's insight. Apart from people inside Su Ji, there were probably only a few people who could see through Su Jin's purpose in becoming an official. Wei Songhe could guess Su Jin's heart just by offending Zhu Shiyong. Extremely smart person.
Su Jin did not want to elaborate too much on this matter, holding the wine glass and said: "Brother Wei, what are you talking about while drinking? In short, you and I are both here to become officials. From now on, we should support each other and seek common development. As for why I don't care what he does when he becomes an official." "
Wei Songhe said sternly: "Brother Su, what you said is wrong. The purpose of joining the officialdom can't be careless. Brother Su, or have other plans. But I, Wei Songhe, joined the officialdom with the thought of serving the country and the people. Otherwise, I would rather work at home and cultivate ten acres of square fields at home." …”
Su Jin interrupted him and said, "Brother Wei, do you still want to drink this wine?"
Wei Songhe was choked and gasped, and suddenly felt that he had no advantage in front of Su Jin to talk about this person. He said he was high-profile, but he never talked about big principles and said he was low-key. His chapters, poems, and even every word and deed were... There is a sense of not saying anything shocking; for example, Wei Songhe was originally dissatisfied with the incident at the restaurant at noon, but he pinched his calf and was really powerless to change, so he finally chose to endure it, while Su Jin started to make trouble directly. Wei Songhe would not dare to do it no matter what.
It was this incident that made Wei Songhe want to make friends with Su Jin. Wei Songhe thought very highly of himself. In Luti Academy, he was not even afraid of Zhao Zhibai, the young master who was mentioned as a criminal officer. What's more, Su Jin, a small businessman, got together with Su Jin. Only when he spoke did he realize that he was wrong. Su Jin was not something Zhao Zhibai could trick with just a few words. He was all turned in front of Su Jin, and Zhao Zhibai could only die by being tricked.
"Brother Su, what do you think of three redundancies and three charges?" Wei Songhe wanted to find out whether Su Jin was the same person as him. Maybe this person was just smart about small things and confused about big things. What if he was a person who couldn't tell right from wrong and had nothing in common with him?
After talking to each other tonight, Wei Songhe would never interact with him again.
"Brother Wei, it's not because I, Su Jin, don't want to listen to these big principles of yours, but because of my status, as the saying goes: You and I are both intermediary people now. I am not a person who speaks straightforwardly and speaks softly. What's the use of saying that? What are you doing there?
I strongly agree with the theory of 'three redundancies and three costs' mentioned by Mr. Lu, but that's all. I think that a prison sentence is bigger than a thunderbolt. How can this world be full of depression?" Su Jin said after drinking.
There are also more.
"Then, according to Brother Su, why don't we just speak out? If we can't even speak out about corrupt officials, wouldn't this make things worse?"
"Why have you forgotten what I just mentioned today: 'A gentleman is good at words but quick at deeds'? What's the use of the words of a sage? I can see that Brother Wei is an upright person. If he is an official, I'm afraid it will be wrong."
He is a thousand times better than Zhu Shiyong of Luzhou, but he is the prefect, so he is useless. It is only right to work hard to gain fame and then serve as an official to benefit the people;
When the time comes, wouldn't it be more practical for Dongliang to punish these redundant officials and manage these redundant expenses than to issue jail sentences here?"
Wei Songhe was silent for a long time after hearing this. Su Jin also regretted that he had spoken too much. He just couldn't see those who like to talk and say who can't do it? The problem is that it is difficult to do; seeking a high position is like picking up a horse. The thoughts in the heart are far less effective than the actions.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of writing; Brother Su is such a knowledgeable person. No wonder I wanted to talk to you more before my mentor came. He said that there are many things that I cannot do, but I was still quite unconvinced when I think about it, Brother Su.
The awl is pointed directly at the vital point; hey, I... I have been feeling too much during this time, too frivolous, and unable to calm down physically and mentally."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Brother Wei, there is no need to be humble. Master Lu can recommend you to study in the academy. Of course you are unique. It's not like I got in by relying on Master Bao's face. In fact, I know nothing about the imperial examination. I will look to Wei in the future."
Brother, please give me some advice."
Wei Songhe said hurriedly: "I'll give you some advice. Don't dare to learn more from Brother Su in the future. Don't talk too much anymore. Donkey has a loud voice but has no other use than grinding and driving. It's better to be down-to-earth."
The two of them were not narrow-minded people after the exchange. Naturally, they soon felt relieved. They exchanged cups and drank for a while. The topic was Luzhou, academy, and trivial.
All smoked to make you drunk.
Just as he was enjoying the drink and talking excitedly, a flash of white clothes appeared at the back door of the main hall. Xia Silin appeared at the door. Su Jin greeted him drunkenly: "Brother Xia Xian, come and have a few glasses of water and wine with us. We are all classmates in the academy. Let's get to know each other."
.”
Xia Silin was obviously a newbie. His hair was wet and tied up on top of his head. He tied a green belt with a silver hairpin and pinned it with a silver hairpin. There was a refreshing fragrance coming from his body. Looking at Su Jin's drunken look, he frowned and said:
"He even came with the half-eaten leftovers to help people sit down."
Su Jin slapped his forehead and blamed himself: "Yes, yes, just teach the kitchen to make new dishes."
Xia Silin said: "I have already eaten, who will come to drink with you? You are happy with your meal. It's almost two o'clock. I'll see how you explain your five hundred fines. Tomorrow I will be slapped by the ruler."
Su Jin was so surprised that he was so happy that he forgot about this problem. It would be a good idea to go to work tomorrow. Wei Songhe had almost eaten and burped from wine and said: "This is delaying Brother Su. Fortunately, we only need to hurry up."
You still have time."
Su Jinyu cried without tears. It was easy for you to say it. If you didn't remind me just now, it's useless to say anything now. Wei Songhe knew that Su Jin had to confess that night, so he couldn't explain why he didn't leave now and bothered him again. He hurriedly handed away and left. Su Jin didn't stay.
At this moment, Xiaozhu had to hurry up and work hard. Xiaozhu sent Wei Songhe back to the academy and took a shower as quickly as possible. He hurried to the packed study room. After receiving the news, Huan Niang had already polished the ink and spread out the paper quietly.
I also lit a stove of sandalwood to create an atmosphere for Su Jin.
Su Jin ignored the many people and picked up the pen to brush and started copying.
"The Master said: Isn't it a pleasure to learn and practice over time? Isn't it also a pleasure to have friends come from afar? Isn't it also a gentleman to say that people don't know and feel embarrassed?"
"The Master said: It is very rare for a man to be filial to his younger brothers but prone to offending. There is no such thing as a man who is not fond of committing offenses but is fond of making trouble. A gentleman should stick to his roots and establish himself in the Tao. Is it the fundamental of being a man to be filial to his younger brothers?"
"The Master said: Clever words make your sex more benevolent."
"The Master said:......"
Su Jin was dizzy when copying. Although he had the elegance of writing on red sleeves and writing at night, he had no choice but to fall into a drowsy state after drinking. After copying only three or five times, he threw the pen away and threw it into his desk. In his sleep, he cursed Confucius.
There are as many as donkey dung eggs on the street.dd
