At no time can you expect the government to be efficient.

Just as Li Shizhong, who knew about the affairs of Qinzhou, and Yiwen Wang Shao, the driver of the Jinglu Jingluo of Gou, fought a land lawsuit for three months, and the center has not issued a word until now, the letter sent by Shen Yun to the Jingshi Su Mansion was delayed for more than half a month, and then it arrived in the Su Mansion.

On this day, Su Shi happened to be at home, and the people at the post station sent a letter over, handed it to Menzi and left. Listening to Menzi's words, the owner of this letter designated to be sent to a person named Su Wei here, and Menzi really couldn't think that there was such a person as Su Wei in the house. In fact, Shen Yun never thought that because of the difference in dialect and accent, such a thing would happen.

Fortunately, Shen Yun also wrote his name on the back of the envelope, and handed it to the housekeeper, who knew Shen Yun's identity, but did not know the involvement of Su Xiaomei and Shen Yun. It was only a thank you letter from Shen Yun to Su Shi when he left, so he went back and forth, and actually sent the letter to Su Shi.

The first time Su Shi got the letter, he knew that the letter was sent to the wrong person.

However, the eldest brother is like a father, even in the next generation, parents should turn over their children's diaries in the same way, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty.

Su Shi opened the letter and saw Shen Yun's handwriting, but he was happy. There were many calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the artistic level of Su, Huangmi, Cai and Song was recognized by later generations.

Shen Yun just wrote a letter like a love letter, and the handwriting was naturally extremely serious. One stroke, free and easy without losing the strictness, just like Shen Yun's heart, wants to pursue passionately but abides by the etiquette between men and women.

Previously, Shen Yundian tried an extremely neat regular script, but he didn't have much personal style, and Su Shi didn't pay attention to it. But at this time, looking at his line, it really has a distinct personality. Su Shi couldn't help but call out a good word. However, the words are good words, and the most important thing is, of course, the content, and the strong curiosity prompted Su Shi to start reading the letter.

Su Shi is also a very romantic person in his bones, so he secretly laughed in his heart at Shen Yun's words that he wanted to talk about it. Then seeing that Shen Yun really couldn't write anything, and actually wrote about his life on the boat, Su Shi couldn't help laughing. The relationship between this young man is really fun.

After reading this letter, Su Shi gradually began to consider Shen Yun's situation.

Su Xiaomei is not worried about getting married, but her sister has always been surprisingly high-minded, and she has no one to fancy. Now that Lang has a concubine, Su Shi, who has not taken it to heart before, has to consider whether the two are a good match at this time.

After comparing it repeatedly, he suddenly found that Shen Yun seemed to be really a suitable candidate, and Su Shi, who had an idea in his heart, naturally put down a big stone in his heart. After putting away the letter, Su Shi walked out of the study, went to a pavilion in the courtyard of Erjin, and ordered Mei Xiang, who happened to go out: "Mei Xiang, go and call my little sister, and say that I have something good to tell her." ”

Su Xiaomei is not a female drunkard like Li Qingzhao, she got up in the morning, and she was being a female celebrity in the boudoir at this time.

Hearing that it was his eldest brother who had called, he put down his needle and thread and hurried to the pavilion. Xu walked faster, and with the warm breeze, when he arrived in front of the pavilion, his pretty face was flushed, as if he was shy.

Thinking of the letter he was about to give to his little sister, Su Shi quipped: "I haven't said anything good yet, my little sister is so ashamed, it seems that this time I want to introduce the young son, the little sister will definitely be extremely satisfied." ”

"Big brother, don't make fun of me. The son of the Lang official family you introduced last time, the little sister sent someone to inquire in private, lingering in the dusty land night and night, and there is no knowledge in her chest, if it is not for the grace of her ancestors to enter the country, I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the official career in the future, and it is really not a good match. ”

The accusation is to clearly tell Su Shi, don't introduce me to any more messy people.

Su Shi's old face was slightly red, isn't this also a hurry to get angry, and there is no way, just when he sees someone recommending him, he wants to try it. But the point is not here at this time: "By the way, little sister, there is a letter from the house today, and it is specified that you are looking for someone named Su Wei." The butler didn't know why, so he handed it over to me. ”

"Su Wei?" Although dialects are harmful, but smart as Su Xiaomei, how can she not know that this is looking for herself. And there are only a few people who know their pseudonym. He asked urgently, "Big brother, you won't return the letter, will you?" As soon as the words came out, he found Su Shi smiling.

The embarrassed Su Xiaomei glared at Su Shi: "The eldest brother knows to have fun with the little sister." If you don't say anything, I'll be gone. ”

"Say, how can you not say, oh, this is the letter, you can take it and read it." Putting the letter on the stone table, Su Shi left in a hurry. Although it is natural to open the letter and read the letter, in front of this sister, Su Shi still feels a little unreasonable. If you don't find it, it's better to open it early.

Before Su Shi walked out of the pavilion, Su Xiaomei had already taken the letter in her hand, and seeing that it had been opened, she sneered: "Big brother, you are messing with my letter again." ”

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, Su Shi's figure had disappeared behind the arch not far away.

Compared with settling accounts with Su Shi, Su Xiaomei still felt that reading the letter was more important. Especially when he saw Shen Yun's name, he couldn't help but feel a kind of eagerness in his heart. I couldn't get any news from Shen Yun for more than half a month, and I didn't want it to be fake. Although Su Xiaomei vigorously denied it, Shen Yun gave her the impression that she was a little different from other men.

opened the letter and saw Shen Yun tell her directly, and now she already knows that she is a man dressed as a woman. Su Xiaomei couldn't help laughing and scolding the idiot, and Mei Xiang, who was coming over with tea, couldn't help but answer: "Miss, Mei Xiang is not stupid?" As a result, Su Xiaomei drove away angrily: "Go and go, I'm not talking about you." ”

Then the confession like a few petals floating in the flowing water made Su Xiaomei's heartbeat suddenly a little faster.

Over the years, I have heard men say some ambiguous things, but that kind of straightforward expression made Su Xiaomei feel a little disgusting. But Shen Yun was different, his mind was there, like a trickling stream, flowing into Su Xiaomei's heart, and suddenly, she felt that her whole heart was going to melt into the water, and then, unconsciously, it turned into an ocean.

After reading this letter several times, Su Xiaomei took it into her arms with a happy face.

At this point, it's time to settle accounts with my eldest brother for opening the letter without permission.

Unlike Su Xiaomei, Shen Yun's situation is much more embarrassing. Since the news of Shen Yun's return to his hometown spread, all the matchmakers in ten miles and eight townships have been moved.

Although the status of matchmaker in the Great Song Dynasty is relatively low, when it comes to money, it is one top and the best. Which son-in-law knocked on which girl, which family's bachelor took a fancy to which family's widow, anyway, for the sake of face, he couldn't run up directly to ask, always make a few dollars, and ask a matchmaker to talk about the item.

If it doesn't work, it won't be refunded; It's done, and I have to give an extra thank-you gift.

And Shen Yun, as a first-class jinshi, asked the matchmaker to say that the price was at least hundreds of words.

After coming back from the county seat to make a preface for a few old Confucians, Shen Yun's life at home has never been peaceful, even though Shen Yun has clearly told these people that he already has a heart. However, the truth that even if you don't get a certificate, it has been the same since ancient times, and many families are not giving up, and they still sent the matchmaker to ask, and the one who sat in Shen Yun's house and kept talking today was the second time to come.

"Shen Guanren, it's not an old woman, I said, now you are twenty years old, and you are in your prime. Our girls from Qinzhou, which family can't marry back. Although the official has a heart in his mouth, you should also take a look at the beauties of my Qinzhou. This is the daughter of the old man of the king of Chengnan, you see, in the twenty-eighth year, she is also literate and literate, and she is just a match for the official. ”

Shaking the extremely freehand portrait on her hand, the matchmaker praised the young lady as a flower.

It's just that Shen Yun has long heard that the young lady of the Wang family in the south of the city has a brutal personality and likes to tease the people. He even raised a vicious dog and instructed him to bite people for fun. The Wang family is also this one daughter, how can she be the right one with this matchmaker.

Seeing that Shen Yun shook her head and was silent, the matchmaker took out another portrait: "Oh, this is the daughter of Master Du's family in a neighboring county." Master Du, you have also heard that the family has a lot of wealth, and it is famous in our Qinzhou. I raised this girl when I was born, and I have no children under my knees, if you marry her, Lang Jun, you will be so rich and easy to get. ”

Seeing that Shen Yun continued to shake her head, the matchmaker wanted to take out the next one, but was stopped by Shen Yun: "Matchmaker Wang, if I remember well, this is the third time you have come to the door." And I want to tell you for the third time that I already have a heart. Although these girls you mentioned have such and such benefits, I, Shen Yun, am not such a greedy person for money. So, please go back. I also told my colleagues that from today onwards, I, Shen Yun, will close the door to thank guests, please forgive me for any inconsiderateness. ”

I was still reciting etiquette before, but now Shen Yun is completely annoyed. drove this matchmaker out of the house, and Shen Yun reluctantly came back to drink water.

At this time, Shen's mother suddenly spoke: "Son, you said that you have a heart, I don't know whose girl it is?" If it's the big official's family, I'd like to advise you to give up as soon as possible. Although you are now a jinshi, you are still a petty official after all, and we must not do anything to seek an official position by virtue of marriage. ”

Shen Yun thought about it, the two brothers of the Su family, Su Shi is just a bachelor of Qinggui, and Su Zhe is only a magistrate, so there really is no such suspicion. Therefore, Shen Yun comforted: "Ah Niang, don't worry." The person the child likes, although her family background is much better than ours, but she is not a high-ranking official. She has a gentle personality, is knowledgeable, and has similar interests with children. I don't know how she treats me, but I want to give it a try. ”

Hearing Shen Yun's explanation, Shen's mother nodded: "Since that's the case, A-Niang won't urge you." Just remember, this marriage is better not to mix with other things. There is always a time when money is squandered, and there is a time when power falls, and the two can share weal and woe together, which is the long-term way. ”
