Zhao Zhen saw Yan Shu standing stupidly outside the palace and asked strangely: "Yan Aiqing, why are you standing here? Do you want to see me?"
\”
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Didn't you say this a few days ago? I've already given you my approval, so why are you here to ask for it again?"
Yan Shu's face turned red and he hurriedly tried to use words to excuse him, but he accidentally missed the mark.
Zhao Zhen felt like Ming Jing'er, Yan Shu must have gotten the news that Su Jin was in trouble and was going to come to plead for mercy.
He didn't say anything at the moment, and said with a smile: "Yan Aiqing, you came just in time, I was just going to talk to you about something. Pang Aiqing will be returning to the northwest front in the next day, so I want to invite him to the palace tonight to give him a banquet, and you will come to accompany him."
Yan Shu was startled and thought to himself: Your Majesty, knowing that Pang Ji and I are not compatible, invites Pang Ji to the banquet but invites me to accompany him. What does this mean?
When he was confused, he saw Su Jin winking at him from behind the emperor, and his heart suddenly brightened up. The emperor must have come forward to resolve Yan Biyun's engagement, and he was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that the emperor had agreed to Su Jin's request, which was great.
It is really not easy; as the emperor, he should advocate the trend of justice, but he can be moved by Su Jin and actually come forward for this matter, which shows Su Jin's status in the emperor's mind and Su Jin's ability to persuade people.
Yan Shu quickly agreed and took Su Jin to leave the palace.
It was almost noon, so he did not go back to the Yamen. He directly pulled Su Jin back to Yan's house. He entered the study room and retired the servants. He asked anxiously: "What the hell are you doing? When Yan Guo came to report the news, I almost didn't catch him.
I'm so worried that you are making a big fuss with the emperor, and the emperor is shouting to be beaten and killed."
Su Jin calmly picked up the newly brewed green tea and took a sip happily: "Sir, don't be anxious. Why don't you share such great news with Miss Yan first? I haven't seen her in two days. Miss Yan is here."
After that, I will tell you everything in the next chapter."
Yan Shu had no choice but to send someone to invite Yan Biyun. After a while, Yan Biyun came quickly to the study, bowed to Yan Shu and Su Jin, and sat quietly aside.
Su Jin secretly looked at Yan Biyun. The weather had been fine these past two days and the temperature had risen. Yan Biyun also took off his bulky and thick clothes. He was only wearing a small bright red cotton-padded jacket and a red skirt underneath; his hair was tied up in a high bun.
He got up and randomly inserted a few jade hairpins; his slender neck was exposed, and a gold necklace hung faintly around his neck; the whole person was dressed noble and delicate, like a bride to be married.
Su Jin remembered that this gold necklace was given to her when she first met Yan Biyun in Luzhou. It looked a bit tacky now, but such a tacky ornament actually looked so decent hanging on Yan Biyun's neck.
, which is really strange.
Yan Shu saw Su Jin looking at Yan Biyun intently, frowning and coughing loudly. Su Jin came to his senses, hurriedly looked away, picked up the tea cup to drink tea to cover up, took a big gulp of hot tea into his mouth, it was so hot that he covered his mouth and groaned
.
Yan Biyun covered her mouth and said softly: "Have you never had tea? You are so impatient."
Su Jin felt quite ambiguous when he heard this, so he just said: It's not the first time you've seen the slave family, and you're so anxious.
In front of Yan Shu, Su Jin did not dare to pick up the conversation. If there was no one around, he would have made some teasing remarks. He could only hold back the tea, swallowed the tea, and exhaled repeatedly.
Yan Shu ignored him and said to Yan Biyun, "Didn't my son go out today? Why did he arrive as soon as he called?"
Yan Biyun smiled and said: "Uncle, the sisters from the Nu family and the Su family originally planned to go to the market, but today is the day when Mr. Su went to court to receive the seal, so they all stayed in the backyard garden to play and wait for the news.
Yeah. But I don’t know what the situation is. Looking at Mr. Su’s temper, I guess he must have been granted a high official position. The slave family would like to congratulate Mr. Su.”
After saying that, he stood up to say Wan Fu and congratulations. Su Jin quickly waved his hand and said: "Goodbye, Miss Yan, don't you just like to mention whatever pot you like? Don't mention it."
Yan Biyun asked curiously: "What's wrong? You have made such a great contribution, won't the Emperor reward you?"
Yan Shu looked at Su Jin's coquettish behavior, and his heart felt joyful for no reason. He laughed and said, "Of course there is a reward, and it's not small." Then he smiled and recounted what happened this morning, completely ignoring Su Jin.
feelings.
Yan Biyun listened with a smile. Instead of asking a few questions, he finally said: "It turns out that I went to the History Museum to work as a housekeeper. It's a very good job. From now on, when we see Mr. Su, we will call him Su Shiren."
Su Jin did not touch the sore spot and said hurriedly: "Don't call me that, are you trying to embarrass me to death? The emperor just called me that, and I had a big fight with him over it. I don't want to fall out with you."
Yan Biyun stuck out her tongue and said in surprise: "Do you think this job is not good?"
Su Jin muttered: "What a bullshit person. It's just a chore like taking care of the collection of books and drying them. It's a shame that the emperor can take advantage of it."
Yan Shu laughed, his smile full of sarcasm; but Yan Biyun said sternly: "Mr. Su, don't underestimate the position of the history museum. Not just anyone can get in. Do you know that this history museum is a museum of the Qing Dynasty?"
This important department is directly under the direct control of the emperor, and the post of supervisor of the history museum cannot be held concurrently except by the prime minister. Even my uncle has no right to concurrently hold the post of supervisor of the history museum."
Su Jin looked at Yan Shu and said, "Is that so?"
Yan Shu nodded and said, "That's true. I don't have the qualifications."
Su Jin pouted and said, "So what? I don't care about it."
Yan Shu smiled bitterly and said: "You know nothing about the functions of our Song Dynasty department. You don't care about it, but some people do. Do you know that our Song Dynasty General History Museum, Zhaowen Museum, and Jixian Yuan are collectively called the three museums, and their officials
It is the choice of civil servants and important officials to be awarded the title of Imperial College. Those who can enter the History Museum, regardless of their size, must be granted the title of Hanlin bachelor. If you, a person who has not passed the imperial examination, can be admitted to the History Museum, it is an exception."
Su Jin said disdainfully: "What an important position! I think it's just a place for casual meals."
Yan Shu shook his head and sighed: "If you don't learn, you have no skills. You simply don't understand anything. Do you know how many famous officials in our Song Dynasty started their fortunes from official positions? In the previous dynasty, there were founding fathers Zhao Zepinggong, Lu Shenggong, and Kou Pingzhonggong.
Wait, there are Prime Minister Zhang, Prime Minister Lu, and Prince Zhenggong in this dynasty, and there are dozens of people who serve as prime ministers and prime ministers, all of whom are from official positions. Aren't you surprised?"
Su Jin was confused when he heard this. Except for one of them, Prime Minister Lu, he knew none of the others. It was no wonder that Su Jin, Yan Shu, was referring to his cousin, Zhao Zeping was the founding prime minister, Zhao Pu, and Lu Shenggong was the two names.
The prime minister of the dynasty was Lu Mengzheng, Kou Pingzhong was Kou Zhun, and Prime Minister Zhang and Wang Zizheng were the two deceased old prime ministers of this dynasty. One was named Zhang Shixun and the other was named Wang Sui.
In Yan Shu's opinion, all of these people are famous. Firstly, they use the word "bi" to express respect, and secondly, they are often called this by the people. They are already familiar with them. Of course, it is unexpected that Su Jin doesn't know any of them.
Su Jin didn't know how to pretend to understand. Although he didn't know who these people were, they must be famous figures if they were listed alongside Lu Yijian.
"Some people jokingly say that the position of the library is a stepping stone for the prime minister, which shows the status of the position in everyone's hearts." Yan Shu was persuasive to this ignorant guy.
Su Jin tilted his head and said: "Master Sansi, do you think that the emperor's grant of this kind of sacrificial position to me is an important use of me? Don't be ridiculous."
Yan Shu thought for a while and said: "This...it's not..."
Su Jinyi clapped his hands and said: "So, you are not humiliating me. What bullshit library position? There are no less than a hundred people serving in the library position. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been thousands of people. Why did you only list those few names?
Haven’t most of them come and go and spend their entire lives just to be a small official who spends his life writing and publishing books? I can see it very clearly. You don’t need to comfort me. Besides, I don’t care anymore. I just ask you not to call me giving up.
people."
Yan Shu thought for a while and felt that what Su Jin said was not unreasonable. He always thought that these people were from the library staff, but he did not consider that most of the people in the library staff were from other yamen.
Like other petty officials, they did not develop much throughout their lives.
Su Jin stood up, cupped her hands towards Yan Biyun and said with a smile: "Miss Yan, I invite you to come because I have a big happy event to tell you."
Yan Biyun stood up and returned the greeting: "Why did Mr. Su congratulate the Nu family? Where does the Nu family's happiness come from?"
Su Jin smiled and said, "Miss Yan, you might as well take a guess."
Yan Biyun blushed and said: "You are so clueless, how could you guess it?"
Su Jin said: "To give you a reason, this matter is about..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Biyun suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Could it be...could it be...that thing?"
Su Jin raised his tall finger and praised: "Sure enough, the orchid is so beautiful that you can understand it without clicking on it. This is your big deal."
Yan Biyun's face turned pale, his body shook a few times, and he looked at Yan Shu.
Yan Shu looked at her and smiled, nodding slowly.
Yan Biyun could no longer hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, and with a cry, two lines of clear tears came out of her eyes.dd
