Chapter 275 Internal Officials

Zhang Kai came, but Zhang Dun was nowhere to be seen. The two brothers crowded into a room and praised the Su family's exquisite meals.

Zhang Kai received the official favor from his uncle Zhang Dexiang, and now he is serving as a household secretary in Mengzhou and joining the army with a salary to be appointed as the superintendent.

This kind of background is called "Xie Feng". Scholars who are truly confident in themselves will look down on Enyin's status and have to refresh their resume based on their strength.

There are many such people, such as Sima Guang, Chen Yaozuo, and Chen Yaozi.

Throughout the spring, Su You went out once to spend a hundred days with Su Che's children.

The Su family is not expensive yet, but it has become rich first.

"The rich family made gold, silver, rhinoceros and jade for it, and put it together with fruits, and had a great show."

Relatives and guests gathered in large numbers, and with Sansu's reputation in Beijing, the small courtyard was packed to the brim.

There was a big basin in the main room, which was filled with fragrant Chinese medicine soup cooked in a big pot. There were also a lot of fruit gifts, and the funny thing was that there were also onions and garlic. Su You was dumbfounded when he saw it: "Does this want to be braised or stewed?"

"

No matter how well-mannered Su Xun was, he couldn't help but give him a kick: "Honestly help my little sister get rid of the lottery!"

Su Xiaomei is wrapping the bathtub with a colorful ball. This name is called "basin encirclement".

Twenty-seven mothers came out of the inner room radiantly, with a baby in their arms. The temperament of a woman who became a mother has changed a lot.

This was the first time Su You saw his grandnephew: "Hey, little sister, I have a big brain just like you and Zizhan!"

Su Xiaomei hugged little Su Chi with a smile. Of course, the baby didn't have a name yet, so Twenty-seventh Mother could free her hands to perform etiquette.

The twenty-seventh mother pulled out the hairpin from her hair, stirred it in the bathtub water and put it back on her head. This is called "stirring the basin".

The people watching the ceremony began to throw money into the water, which is called "adding basins".

Then the quick-witted married women began to laugh and grab the jujubes standing upright in the basin, as crazy as the girls who were about to grab the bride's bouquet in later generations.

“If the jujubes stand upright in the basin, the women will try to eat them as this is a sign of giving birth to a boy.”

The next step was to wash the doll. Little Su was not afraid of water, and she even giggled and splashed the water with her hands. This was a good sign that the child would grow up and strive for success. The guests attending the ceremony couldn't help but give another auspicious words.

"After bathing the baby, the fetus is born, everyone thanks the guests, and carries the baby into someone else's room. This is called 'moving to the nest'."

This is easy to do, just take the little baby to Wang Fu's room, put it with Su Mai and settle it down, and the ceremony is complete.

The next ceremony was for Su You to add relatives in the inner courtyard, friends in the outer courtyard, and neighbors outside the door, and start a banquet!

Bianjing City originally had southern and northern dishes, but now Sichuan cuisine has suddenly emerged and become a new food trend.

The pork is made from castrated pork from Shijiazhuangzi, and the chickens are from Shijiazhuangzi's big stupid chickens. Today, in Bianjing, only Shijiazhuangzi uses the method of raising chickens in confinement and fat pig cages from Meishan.

It is said that after the officials tasted the pork offered by Shijiazhuangzi, they called people from Sinong Temple over and asked if they could promote this method.

The black old men from Sinong Temple came back hard. Officials, if you use the spring to grow vegetables out of season, you are already reversing the order of things and going against nature. Are you still going to do this unkind act by obliterating yin and yang?

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to give up in despair.

Now at the dinner table, Su You was telling this as a joke.

Zhang Dun said: "The officials are too down-to-earth. Why did you ask Sinong Temple to do this? They sent a few eunuchs to the village and they learned it quickly. And if you don't have all the people, you can't raise all the pigs. No matter how powerful the people in Sinong Temple are, they can't raise all the pigs."

You can't argue with the eunuchs."

Su Che said: "If there is fat meat in the kitchen, fat horses in the stables, hungry people, and hungry weeds in the wild, they will lead the beasts and eat people."

"But there is a way to make the wild without hunger and to make the people have enough to use. If you abandon it because of etiquette, but talk about benevolence, justice and morality to vegetables and beasts, isn't it the same as following etiquette and cannibalism?"

Su You immediately praised Su Zhe: "This statement is a warning for those who come after you! Song Xianggong's 'benevolence' is unforgettable!"

Su Shi was fiercely dealing with braised pork with dried beans: "Amitabha, although I think the people from Sinong Temple are right, this time I am firmly on Mingrun's side! They must have never eaten braised pork trotters!

"

…

As a result, I didn’t know who the crow’s mouth was, so in the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door.

Zhang Dun directly took out the sword, stood in the yard and shouted: "Who is disturbing the house at night? You need to know that this yard is full of Jinshi scholars!"

When Qidi Longshan heard this, he also stood in the courtyard without saying a word and put Ye Chui on his shoulders first.

Su You put on his clothes and came out, Zhang Qi and Zhang Zao also came out.

Su You said: "Brother Zhang, please put your sword away first. Who dares to mess around under the Emperor's feet? If he is a bad person, how can he knock on the door and wait? Maybe there is something urgent for the neighbor. Brother Zaowa, go and open the door."

The door opened, and there stood a middle-aged man in his thirties and a young man in his twenties.

With a fair face and no beard, Su You was dressed in official robes. Su You suddenly remembered a special eunuch who had just been discussed at the lunch banquet!

Then I suddenly thought of a key question, Oops! If I get admitted to the Jinshi next year and after being awarded an official, will I be mistakenly thought by others that I don’t have a little Didi if I wear a green official robe at such a young age?

When the middle-aged man saw that no one was talking, a young man in the yard who had a bit of a leader's demeanor was in a state of mind, so he felt a little embarrassed. He coughed and asked, "May I ask, who is from Meishan?"

Su Mingrun"

Only then did Su You react: "Oh, I am Su You. I don't know why the two internal officials came here."

The middle-aged man looked Su You up and down for a while: "Come with us, someone wants to see you."

Su You looked at the three horses outside the door, with simple saddles and saddles, but they were all good ones, and said, "Let's go then."

After telling everyone to rest, Su You followed the two of them on their horses. The younger one couldn't help but be curious: "She doesn't doubt us at all."

Su You smiled and said: "Both of them are wearing silk products sent as tribute from the middle of Sichuan. Their underwear is made of fine silk with a herringbone pattern. There are also two horses with the mark of the Internal Servant Bureau on their hindquarters, and the saddles and saddles are on the top."

Wait for the white cane leather saddle. If it is fake, the cost will be too high."

The young man smiled and said: "The young man knows his stuff."

Su You also laughed: "The most important thing is that the two of them have extraordinary bearings. At first glance, they are not ordinary people. I don't know the names of the two internal officials."

The young man smiled and said: "My name is Li Xian. I am a rude martial artist from the Huang family. My rank is far lower than that of Wang Chongfeng. He is a veteran of the Royal Medicine Academy, doing poetry and calligraphy calculations..."

When the middle-aged man coughed, Li Xian stopped talking. Then the middle-aged man said concisely: "We have Wang Zhongzheng."

I don’t know how many people in the Song Dynasty were named Zhongzheng, but there should be only one eunuch named Li Xian, especially one named Li Xian.

No wonder his equestrian skills are superb, even better than his own, the great wizard of the Erlin Tribe.

The two eunuchs were also interested in Su You's equestrian skills, but in the Song Dynasty, there were not only one or two scholar-bureaucrats who were armed with swords. Even Su Shi, and later the king's consort often gave him good bows and arrows as gifts.

I was chatting like a teenager, holding the yellow on the left and holding the blue on the right. Maybe it's real and not a purely artistic process.

The city of Bianjing was very crowded, and the imperial palace and the Jisi were actually next to each other. The three horses walked along the palace wall to the south, then turned to the west, and arrived at a small convenience door.

The Banzhi guards checked the badges of Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian, looked at Su You, and didn't even bother to search the child: "Go in."

Wang Zhongzheng raised his hand and said, "We have Lao Di Dian Ban."

Su You couldn't help but take a look at the guard. He had a handsome appearance. He didn't know if he was Di Shen or Di Yong.

After entering the door, I entered a room within two steps, which was probably the outermost room in the entire palace.

The room was divided into two halves by a brocade wall, and a higher-ranking internal official was waiting here.

Wang Zhongzheng stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "The escort has been brought."

This man was not very old, in his thirties, and said to Su You: "He has a calm demeanor. The Meishan prodigy is really interesting."

Su You cupped his hands and said: "This warden summoned me, a young man in wild uniform, at night. It is an extraordinary matter, so it must be an extraordinary matter. Let's keep this short story short. Don't blame me for being rude."

The man nodded: "Our Li Shunju is now working in the Imperial Medicine Academy. The official summoned me the day before yesterday and said that the official Meidu was ill. He asked the Imperial Medicine Academy to collect some medicines to use to express condolences to the old ministers."

Su You was shocked. Mei Yaochen's gaunt old man seemed to be ill when he wasn't sick. He was afraid he might be in trouble now.

Li Shunju saw Su You's expression, waved his hand and said: "The imperial doctor looked at it and said that he was afraid... well, he can only do his best."

Su You's heart was pounding, Old Man Mei was his benefactor: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Li Shunju said: "That is a matter for the imperial doctors. They can't do anything. I'm afraid I can only express my condolences."
