Chapter 70 Friendship

At dusk, people ended their busy day, and the horse riding cars on the streets, or the peddlers and pawns walked slowly and leisurely, which was much different from the situation in the morning.

But Su Jin looked a little anxious. He dismounted the horse and tied the horse in the yard and limped in, still wearing a blue official uniform. He had just worn this clothes for a few days.

When the two children saw him, they ran over to call their father. Su Jin touched their heads and asked: Are your mother at home?The child replied: Mother is cooking in the kitchen.

Su Jin left his two children and walked straight into the kitchen. Suddenly, he saw a woman with a straight body busy by the stove.

The woman looked back and said, Husband is back, Ah, you go to change your clothes and wash your hands first, and you can have supper after a while.

You see, what is this?

Su Jin took out a pack of things from his sleeve with a smile and handed them over.

Lin took it and heard a rumbling sound inside, and then put it next to the stove: Isn’t there still half a month to pay the salary?

Su Jin said: Look, it’s not just salary, but the most important thing is the house deed and land deed.The King of Jin treated people very well. The Anyifang chosen by the house was close to the East City, and every inch of land was worth every inch of land!It will be very convenient for you to buy anything in the future, and it will be close to my value.This land deed is Yongye Land. I have been included in the official list in the Ministry of Personnel. According to the law, there is land and salary. Not only does it have industries but also something. People with an official status will be much more convenient. No one dares to make things difficult for them.In addition, the money is the salary pre-allocated by the Prince's Office. We can move to our new house in the next two days. It is just right to use the money to hire a few slaves first. One is someone to serve the horse documents, and the other is to help you do some work. After a while, you can live the life of luxury and food that is served by people...

He said a lot in one breath, his face was red and he looked very excited.

People's moods are always shaken when their lives change drastically, and Su Jin cannot escape the vulgarity when he returns home.

In comparison, Lin seems to be more cultured and calm than him.

She scooped a basin of cold water and put it down, and said casually: Take out the water and let the children wash their hands first. They can play around all day long and don’t know what it’s dirty.

After saying that, she picked up a plate of pancakes and walked out of the kitchen. The bag of money and property placed beside the stove seemed to have been forgotten by her.

Su Jin had no choice but to pick up the bag, look at her back and sigh, then lowered his head to think about it.

After a while, Lin brought a child in with one hand. Seeing that Su Jin was still standing there stupidly, she said: "A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, why are you still staying here?

Um.

Su Jin was very excited and had a cool attitude when he met his wife. After a while, he had to find a private school for his boss to study and practice. I was busy on weekdays and had no time to teach him, so it would be too late if I didn’t study... When I was as old as him, I could write a few five-character poems at will.

Lin smiled and said: If you hadn't been famous since childhood, how could my father let me and you?

That's true... Su Jin had to quietly stuff the things into his clothes and put them away.

Lin said calmly: If the King of Jin is kind to you, you have to work hard, but you can't lose rare books in everything.

What the lady said was right.Su Jin's face was a little heavy, and he bowed seriously with his fists.

Just then, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: Is Brother Su at home?

Lin said: Someone is visiting you, hurry up and see who it is.

Su Jin turned around and walked out. After leaving the yard, he saw two carriages leaning against the roadside. There were two slaves riding horses next to him, and an old man with white hair and red face was standing next to the carriage.

Su Jin was stunned for a moment and soon recognized that it was He Zhizhang.

When everyone was an official in the capital, the relationship between the two was pretty good and it was very good; but later the situation was turbulent and the relationship was withered, and Su Jin probably thought he hadn't seen He Zhizhang in a few years.

Last time I heard that he was transferred back to the capital from Luoyang, it was not easy for Su Jin to visit him as he was at that time. Now He Zhizhang takes the initiative to come to visit him.

He Zhizhang laughed and said: It’s a rare reunion, I really didn’t expect that my brother is still in the capital!

You have to support your family.Su Jin also laughed, Brother He, please leave inside, ha!The home is relatively simple, just don’t laugh at me.

He Zhizhang said: Isn’t you going to move into a new home? I just heard about it.

As the two left, He Zhizhang sighed again, "A few years ago, everyone was displaced, and I was demoted to Luoyang, and many old friends were no longer familiar with letters."I returned to the capital not long ago, and I didn’t know that my brother was close at hand, otherwise I should have come to visit him early.

Su Jin didn't care. He was a person who had experienced meetings and separations. He didn't have to blame others for being snobbish. As long as he was a friend but not an enemy when he was a fair person, he would be a rare encounter with him...

How many things can the world expect from the so-called friendship between hearts and hearts?

Su Jin said: I had heard that Brother He had returned to the capital, but I had made up my mind to live in seclusion in the city and live in vain, so I was not convenient to visit him.But the King of Jin came to the hut and wanted to invite him sincerely, and his words were sincere. It was hard for me to refuse, so it would be better to let it go and go back to the officialdom.After entering the officialdom, I wanted to move in and visit Brother He to reminisce about the past, but I didn't expect Brother He to come first, which was so rude.

If we don’t mention these, it will not be easy in the past few years. It will be over. Let’s talk about it later and never part.

Su Jin pointed to the food on the table and said: I was about to have a meal, why would Brother He eat together?

He Zhizhang glanced at the pancake on the plate and smiled heartily: I am old and can't bite such a hard pancake.It's also competent to drink a few glasses of wine.

There is no good wine to entertain, Brother He has to make up for it for the time being. I will invite you to make up for it in a few days.Su Jin made an invitation.

He Zhizhang sat down and asked: Is the new house on Anyifang?

Su Jin said calmly: I originally thought it was inconvenient to accept the prince’s kindness without making any contribution, but the prince said that Wang Shaowang had no place to live at the beginning, so he sent a house. Today, he could not favor one or the other.I couldn't find a reason to refuse, so I had to accept it with shame.

When He Zhizhang heard this, he thought to himself that Wang Changling was a confidant adviser under the Jin Palace. Compared with Su Jin's treatment, how great is his future?

He laughed dryly, picked up the wine he handed over and took a sip. The wine was not a good or bad, but whoever he drank it with. It would be good if the wine was right.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the relationship seemed very harmonious.After drinking, Lin turned around and went to the kitchen to cook. At first, the guests arrived, but the food was too casual.

He Zhizhang put down his wine glass and said: When he returned to Chang'an, he found that the people in this dynasty had almost been replaced, and few people were familiar with him.We old brothers have been in love for so long, so we have to help each other in the future.When you are in the officialdom, you must rely on friends. If it weren’t for the old friend Zhang Jiuling’s words, I would probably not have been back.

Su Jin hurriedly said politely: Brother He is the Minister of Works. Look at the outfit I wear. You will have to support me in the future.

ha!

He Zhizhang smiled and said, "At this moment, you can't just look at the color of your clothes... Let's say a heart-to-heart talk, the things you are working with and talking with Wang Shaobo and others are all the things discussed by the Political Affairs Hall. I am a minister of the Ministry of Works, and I can't even touch the edges."

The two officials were drinking in the dining room, and Lin couldn't even serve the dining table. After setting up the wine and food, he took his two children to make some food to the inner room to make do with supper.

Although laughter often came from the dining room, both of them felt that after being unfamiliar for a few years, it seemed like a layer was separated, which was not as real as before.

They complimented each other and spoke in the scene. Before the day was dark, they felt as if they had finished speaking and there was nothing to talk about.

How can anyone who has nothing to say do when talking at night?

After an hour, He Zhizhang stood up and said goodbye. Su Jin left a few words and sent him out. Before leaving, he mentioned that he would visit him another day.

After seeing the person off, Su Jin immediately put down his posture when he returned to the house. It was very different from his attitude of ignoring his wife just now. He asked with concern: Are you full?Lin nodded.

Su Jin pulled an old stool and sat down, pondered for a moment and said: He Jizhen, you know people who used to come and go, this has become like this in a few years, alas.

Lin said: He didn't take action when our family was in trouble, and now he is an official in the same dynasty. Although we don't care, he will feel a little irritated.

Forget it, there is no need to worry about it. In short, the He family is also an old friend, but it is more reliable than many people they meet at times. Su is not a narrow-minded person and can do things without being vague.Su Jin said calmly.

Lin said softly: My husband’s behavior is reassuring.He Jizhen comes first, and there will be many people coming in the future. We should indeed move a decent place... Let’s see which street it is on.

Su Jin hurriedly took out his things, looked at the dilapidated yard with a faint moonlight, and laughed from his nose: The doors are deserted, and then the doors are crowded, and the world is ups and downs between hot and cold.

He was not sighing when he spoke, but hesitating in his tone, and a new atmosphere was already foreseeable.

I saw a pile of grass in the courtyard, with a faint glow sprinkling on it with blue colors, and the simple scenery exuded an inappropriate tranquility.
