Su Jin took a shower and changed into clean and new clothes. She felt refreshed and the fatigue caused by the bumpy road was gone.
Xiao Sui'er personally used the knife to dress Su Jin in a glossy pink face, a red-winged gold hairpin in her bun, a plain satin robe, black white-soled official boots, a precious three-yuan jade pendant tied around her waist, and long eyebrows on her temples.
He is pretty, with eyes as bright as stars, fair skin, plump forehead, rosy face, and dashing demeanor. He is simply a handsome young man from the world.
Rouniang, Huanniang and Xiaosui'er looked at Su Jin who had finished dressing up and almost didn't dare to look at her; beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Rouniang and Huanniang couldn't help but think wildly: If there was Pan An and Song Yu in ancient times, their beauty was incomparable.
, I'm afraid that the young master's appearance can be comparable to it.
Su Jin looked at herself in the mirror and frowned: "Why do you dress me up like a clown? How can I be seen like this? Why does my face look like I have something in my pocket?"
The three girls rolled their eyes. The young master's aesthetics are simply different. In today's Song Dynasty, everyone regards fair skin as beauty, but the young master prefers to tan his skin. He said that is healthy and toned skin.
se.
It's a pity that Su Jin's skin is the kind that can't be tanned. No matter how hard he tries, he still has a pretty face. For Rou Niang and others, this is a beautiful complexion; just now Xiao Sui'er secretly applied it on Su Jin
After putting on a light layer of white foundation, they were quite satisfied with the fair-skinned and handsome young master. In Su Jin's opinion, he was simply too girly.
"Wash your face and put some brown foundation on me." Su Jin smacked her lips.
"Young master, do it by yourself. I'm tired." Xiao Sui'er ignored him at all. This kind of conversation happened many times in the process of serving the young master. Every time, Xiao Sui'er sighed and compromised.
, this time Xiao Suier decided not to compromise.
"You...are you still my maid? Okay...I'll get the water myself. It's more like going to the Wase to be an actor like this. There may be some high-ranking officials coming to the banquet tonight. Isn't this what people say?"
Am I still wet?"
"Master, you look good like this. You are not very old to begin with. Why do you want to act so old-fashioned? It is a lie that a hero comes out of a young age. Let those old officials envy you. I dare say that Sister Yan will also like you very much.
This dress." Rou Niang carried out Yan Biyun to help her.
"Does she like this look?" Su Jin tilted her head and asked.
Xiao Sui'er, Rou Niang and Huan Niang all nodded.
"It's so tasteless!" Su Jin smacked his lips.
The three of them were extremely depressed. This sentence meant that even Yan Biyun and himself were included in it.
"But...since you all insist, then that's it; I keep my words in mind. If this makes a joke, you have to do what I say next time." Su Jin said.
Xiao Sui'er smiled and said: "Okay, okay, listen to me, I will put on brown foundation for you."
"I also need to glue on a row of mustaches..." Su Jin said.
"...Just listen to me."
"And a beard..."
One of the three of them almost stumbled to death. My taste is so high-end that it is simply unreasonable.
Rou Niang and others turned around and walked out. They didn't know what weird requests the young master would make if they stayed any longer. Behind them, Su Jinshang was talking to himself.
"If you get oily skin, add some stubble, and walk on the street, all the women in the city will fall for you..."
"Pfft" Xiao Sui'er bumped her head against the pillar, rubbing her forehead and sucking in the cold air. She couldn't stay here for a moment. If she stayed here for another moment, she was afraid that her life would be lost here.
…
In front of the luxurious Yan Mansion in Tianshuijing Hutong, there are lanterns and colorful decorations, and there is a lot of traffic. Everyone knows that Su Jin, the food envoy welcomed by the Holy Spirit today, was recommended by Yan Sansi. It was originally a joke, but it turned out to be surprising.
This gentleman actually managed the grain affairs properly, suppressed the bandits, and overthrew the officials in Yangzhou and Luzhou.
Maybe some people think that a dog is a rat, but since the Holy Father personally came to greet him, this unruly courtesy just shows an attitude of appreciation.
The veteran officials in the officialdom have long sensed the direction of the trend. The food service is not just the food service. Behind the food service is who will take the position of prime minister. This time, even if you are blind, you can see the future center.
In whose hands will the power fall?
Yan Shu only sent out a few invitations. His original intention was to entertain Su Jin alone and invite some real friends to accompany him. Most of these people were old masters who were aloof from political affairs, such as Sun Fu, who was directly taught by the Imperial Academy, and Tao Hao, the editor of the Chinese Embassy.
Wait, even Ouyang Xiu didn't invite him.
Inviting Su Jin to the banquet can be regarded as the Sansi Yamen's own celebration. If Ouyang Xiu is invited, it will be suspected of wooing him. Although Ouyang Xiu seems to be on the same front with him, it is better to hide this relationship.
Good, so as not to be talked about behind your back and cause trouble.
As for the other officials who came upon hearing the news, Yan Shu had no choice but to let these uninvited people in. These people were under the banner of congratulating the third division on the success of the food service. Although Yan Shu was tired of these wallflowers, he was not
If you refuse people thousands of miles away, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with these people. If you don't ask for their help in future matters, but if you don't get in the way, it will be considered a success.
When Su Jin led everyone to the Yan Mansion, he was startled by the row of luxurious cars in front of the door. It seemed that there were a lot of people at the banquet today. You can think of it with your buttocks. These people are all from the imperial court.
Officials, and the official positions are not small. Although there are many officials in Beijing, those who are qualified to enter the Yan Mansion are naturally not ordinary people.
When the real master arrived, the butler who greeted guests at the door hurried to report. Not long after, Yan Shu came out to greet him in person, smiling and cupping his hands at Su Jin.
Only then did Su Jin have the opportunity to look at Yan Shu head-on. Yan Shu's plump and short figure had lost a lot of weight. His bloated figure had become much more capable after working hard on food for the past few months. His hair was also a lot whiter. However,
The whole person looks very energetic, especially his eyes, which are sparkling with a sense of confidence and sharpness.
Su Jin stepped forward and bowed, saying: "I have seen Mr. Sansi, how can I help Mr. Sansi to greet you in person? It costs so much."
Yan Shu stepped forward with a smile and took Su Jin's arm and said: "Special Envoy Su, you have worked hard on your errands. As a superior officer, how can you be indifferent? It should be like this, so why do you need to say these words."
Su Jin said with a smile: "Master Sansi has been on tenterhooks these past few months. I am not reliable in doing things, and I am afraid that Master Sansi has been worried a lot."
Yan Shu rolled his eyes at Su Jin and said: "It turns out you understand very well, but it's all in the past, so I won't mention it anymore. Let's sit down and drink. After the banquet, you and I will talk about it in a long way. You are the protagonist today, and the court officials are very important."
Many people, big and small, came here, all wanting to have a look at Special Envoy Su. You are going to be in the limelight today, haha."
Su Jin scratched his head and said, "Isn't this a family dinner? How did you get these people here? I don't know any of these people, so I'm a little scared."
Yan Shu smiled and said: "The world-famous Special Envoy Su is still afraid of such an occasion? Don't be pretentious, they are eagerly waiting for it."
Su Jin knew that he could not escape this hurdle, so he stretched out his hand and said: "Please, sir, as long as you are here, I have nothing to be afraid of."
Yan Shu chuckled, took Su Jin's arm and walked inside.
In the main hall of the Yan Mansion, all the officials are looking forward to it as Yan Shu said. Most of them have not seen this Su Jin. If he had not made such a great contribution today, who would pay attention to this boy with a business background; but the worse the background, the worse.
, everyone became more and more curious, how could this kid be assigned to handle major food affairs without even taking the imperial examination? Could it be that he had three heads and six arms?
Amidst curiosity and speculation, everyone saw Yan Shu smiling and holding a young man in green walking along the stone roadside talking and laughing.
The young man has picturesque features, a slim figure, and a well-dressed face, but he is a handsome boy. Some people murmured in their hearts: "Master Sansi is so happy that he actually walks around in public with his sweetheart on his arm without any hesitation.
It’s simply outrageous.”
Those who had the same thoughts covered their mouths and snickered. This trip was worth it. Although I lost some face by being uninvited, I actually found out that Mr. Sansi has such a hobby. It is a worthwhile trip. It will be spread out tomorrow.
It was a joke in the imperial court, and I haven't had any fun for a long time. This time I just used it to have some fun.
Some people vaguely guessed that this young man might be Su Jin, but this thought flashed in their minds and disappeared immediately; such a pink and beautiful young man could not help annihilate the bandits and purge the officials in Yangzhou and Luzhou.
In just a few months, he is connected with the ruthless character who has stained the blood of hundreds of people on his hands; although the old proverb goes, "You can't tell a person by his appearance," but the ancient proverb also says, "Appearance comes from the heart." But such a ruthless character is like this
Such a delicate and handsome appearance is obviously unacceptable.dd
