The person standing at the door shouting at this time, the person who could make Gan Qi overjoyed, was the far-sighted gentleman of the Su family in Meizhou, Sichuan, who he hadn't seen for more than two years.

Gan Qi was overjoyed, and Su Shi was even more delighted, and the two hugged each other almost when they met.

"If you want to go back to Beijing, why don't you send a letter first?" Gan Qi asked.

"I sent the letter, but Dao Jian didn't receive it?" Su Shi asked.

Gan Qi shook his head, "It seems that the letter arrived a little later than you. ”

Su Shi smiled, and didn't take it seriously, in this era, letters don't arrive as fast as himself, which is also normal, and even if the letter can't be sent, it's common to lose it halfway. only said: "Shaoguang is fleeting, now Dao Jian, you are already the first in the first place, and the official position is in the body, but it is me, this time I have entered Beijing, and I can only prepare to make a science and technology in Beijing." ”

Su Shi still has a little regret about going home to mourn after he didn't get an official after passing the exam. Because if you don't get into the jinshi, you will definitely get an official position, and after this village, there will be no such shop. If Su Shi still wants to be an official, then he needs to be recommended by a real high-ranking official.

If there is no one to recommend, you have to find your own way, such as taking the subject exam, that is, Jingcha. The so-called Jingcha is probably similar to the internal examination of civil servants, that is to say, Su Shi is already a formal civil servant in name, but if he wants to become an official, he has to take the internal examination again, and after standing out, he can be awarded an official position. In the Song Dynasty, people can actually take the test, but they need to be recommended, and people with real authority can recommend it.

Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers, if they want to really be good officials, both of them will take the subject exam again. But we still have to wait for a year and a half.

This kind of thing is also normal, for example, an official is not bad, or the official position is relatively high, but suddenly his father died, and he needs to go home to keep filial piety for three years, and when he comes back after three years, he will not be reinstated, and he will not be reinstated by the imperial court. Therefore, it is necessary for someone in the court to recommend him, so that there can be a good arrangement.

Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers are also a little unlucky in this regard. Jinshi was admitted, the official still doesn't know where, there are people in this situation, not only their brothers, in Bianliang City, there are many, more unlucky than the Su brothers, after more than ten years of officials, after a funeral, there is no hair, almost the official position is unwilling, and the better official position is not the turn, which is also one of the reasons why the imperial court opened the system. After all, those good official positions are all a radish and a pit,

"Where's Ziyu?" Gan Qi looked left and right, and Su Shi was alone, but he was a little surprised.

"Ziyou and his father have not yet arrived, and it will take a while to enter Beijing, this time my family has moved, and I am ready to settle down in this Bianliang City." Su Shi said so, this Su Xun branch of the Su clan in Meizhou is considered an immigrant, and he immigrated from Meizhou to Kaifeng.

Who called Su Xun to give birth to two sons so well? I had to move my family, otherwise my two sons were in the capital, and the family would be in Meizhou, thousands of miles away, so how would they live?

Since the family has to move, there are many troubles. The family's property must be sold, the fields and shops will not be left, and those who should be given to relatives will be given to relatives, and an ancestral house and ancestral land will be left behind, and cousins will be allowed to manage it on their behalf.

Everything else was turned into cash and had to be transported to Bianliang City.

To put it bluntly, this time Su Xun came out with his two sons, and he will almost never go back in the future. In addition to giving Su Xun a funeral, the Su brothers will help the coffin to go back to Meizhou again, this Su family is no longer Meizhou, and the descendants of the Su family can only be regarded as an ancestral home in Meizhou.

Since he said that he had settled down, Gan Qi asked again: "Have you chosen a house in the city?" ”

"I came first this time, just to do such a thing, I always have to choose a place to settle first, so that the family is not so hasty." In ancient times, moving was really not so simple, ox carts and donkey carts were pulled by carts, trekking through mountains and rivers, with all the belongings, not to mention the hard work on the road, there were dangers, and it was indispensable to settle down in a new place, and it was very important to have a place to settle a family.

Gan Qi is a local snake, and he can do Su Shi a great favor in this regard, so he said: "Then this matter will be wrapped up in me." ”

Su Shi was not hypocritical, but said: "Looking for you is this matter." ”

Gan Qi was a little sad when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I thought you were looking for me because you and I have a very close relationship?" ”

Su Shi smiled: "Let's go, eat and drink first?" ”

Gan Qi looked back at his shabby yamen, nodded and said, "Then eat and drink first." ”

The two of them just held hands, side by side, and headed towards Fan Lou.

Su Shi also asked with a smile: "How can you be a good champion and start the errand of collecting business taxes?" ”

Obviously, in Su Shi's view, collecting taxes is not a good errand, which is not only Su Shi's opinion, but also the opinion of most literati. The children of sages, gentlemen, chattering with businessmen over things that cost one or two dollars, right and wrong.

"The emperor has to pay five million yuan a year to the official family." Gan Qi naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

"Five million? If you are sold, you will not be able to sell five million. Someone must be struggling with you. Su Shi understood so.

Gan Qi shook his head: "No, no, no, this is my own guarantee in front of the official family, and I promise to collect five million yuan of commercial taxes in Bianliang City a year." ”

Su Shi stopped, looked at Gan Qi, and asked, "Dao Jian, aren't you stupid?" How can you receive so much business tax? ”

Gan Qi smiled and raised his hand and pointed: "Look, what are the words on these streets and alleys." ”

When Su Shi entered the city, he noticed the slogans that could be seen everywhere, and replied: "You just write all the streets and alleys, and you can't turn into five million yuan of money a year." Unless you go to the streets of Bianliang City. ”

"You can't make money by robbing the road. Do you want to come to my yamen and collect taxes with me? Gan Qi asked with a smile.

Su Shi shook his head again and again: "I don't collect taxes." ”

There is no way to do it, asking Su Shi to follow him to the street to collect taxes, it is really embarrassing for him, a character like Su Shi should indulge in flowers and wine, and leave a name for eternity.

"That's it, Fan Lou has arrived, eat and drink, don't get drunk and don't return." Looking at Su Shi, Gan Qi felt a sense of comfort, why? Because Su Shi's attitude towards life is something that Gan Qi can't do in his life.

Really chic, really free and easy, really enjoy life, Gan Qi can't do it, Su Shi seems to be able to help him complete these things that can't be done.

If Gan Qi didn't know the future, didn't know history, and didn't know those sorrows, maybe he wouldn't have to envy Su Shi, and he could be a person like Su Shi.

The two of them sat down to eat and drink, seven or eight beauties on the left and right were waiting, and there was a new Oiran Yun Jin'er in front of them who consciously came to cheer and cheer.

There are not many people in this Bianliang City who have this kind of treatment. A young man with this kind of treatment is probably Gan Qi and Su Shi.

Su Shi is also rising, filling in the lyrics is easy, happy to meet, come as soon as he says, come out casually, Yun Jiner is happy to sing.

Su Shi didn't think it was a big deal for him to fill in the first words, and said with a smile: "Only food and wine can't be disappointed, Dao Jian will drink again!" ”

Gan Qi really has a bit of an idea of getting drunk today, mainly because after becoming a cool official, he needs to have a vent in his heart, because Gan Qi is not the kind of pervert who takes pleasure in torturing people, and the punishment of this era is really to torture people to death.

Killing people is not enough, and in Ganqi's heart, torturing people is a hundred times more cruel than killing.

Gan Qi drank a glass and said in his mouth: "Food and wine, but there is still a difference." ”

"What's missing?" Su Shi asked.

"Poor beauty." Ganchi smiled evilly.

Su Shi raised his eyes and looked around, surrounded by warblers and swallows, surrounded by beauties, and laughed: "Dao Jian knows me!" ”

Gan Qi raised his hand and made a move, and a woman who was a half-aged shook her waist and walked to Gan Qi's side, listening with her ears.

Gan Qi whispered a few words, and the woman covered her smiling mouth with a group fan, and went down to make arrangements, and also remembered Gan Qi's words, to be beautiful, to be talented, and to be clear. The most important sentence is that there is money, and there is money, and it is redeemed directly.

Since you want to settle down in Bianliang, how can you not have a few kabuki waiting at home? Just buy a few if you have nothing to do, this is the life that Su Shi should have.

"Dao Jian, when I was on the road earlier, I filled in a song, you listen to me, the flowers fade and the red and green apricots are small. When the swallows fly, the green water surrounds. The willows on the branches blow very little. There is no grass at the end of the world. Swing inside the wall, outside the wall. Pedestrians outside the wall, beautiful people laugh inside the wall. The laughter faded into silence. Amorous but ruthlessly annoyed. How is this song? In Su Shi's life, there are still more than 3,400 poems handed down after a thousand years. If you count those that have been lost, or what you have done casually and have not recorded, you are afraid of many more. And these more than 3,000 poems, take out one at will, and they are all above the level.

Even if you only count the number of poems handed down, Su Shi lived to be sixty-one years old, putting aside his childhood, he almost had an output of nearly 100 poems a year, and the output rate of one poem in three or four days. This does not include articles, calligraphy and paintings, the number of articles of Su Shi is not to talk about, Su Shi's calligraphy is one of the four masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the paintings are the leader of the faction. There are also the official documents he exchanged when he was an official and the recitals of the letters.

Think about it, what has he been doing all his life?

"Good words, there is no grass at the end of the world, but you are ruthlessly annoyed. That's a good word. Gan Qi boasted, this Nima is really not comparable, and it is not okay to accept it. The king of golden sentences, said that there is. This poem is probably written with some emotion from Su Shi when he was on the road.

If you really want to talk about the way of poetry, even if Gan Qi searches for 5,000 years in his memory to copy it, he can't copy Su Shi alone.

Yun Jin'er, who was stroking the piano and singing behind her, was already shining with both eyes.

Su Shi waved his hand: "Miss Yun, I've given it to you." ”

Yun Jin'er, whose eyes were shining, didn't even make a polite and modest excuse, and had already stood up to thank him: "The slave family worships Mr. Xie Su's masterpiece." ”

Gan Qi still has a feeling of distress, such a good word, and it is not used to respond to the scene at this time, a famous work through the ages, how can you say that it will be sent?

Gan Qi is a pain in the flesh, and that is because Gan Qi knows the literary value of this poem.

Su Shi is not distressed, Su Shi just writes casually every day when he is idle and bored, it doesn't matter who he gives it, there will be tomorrow, there is no need to wait for tomorrow, maybe there will be again soon.

Gan Qi almost said, can you give it to me?

If you don't say it, it's detrimental.

For some reason, Gan Qi was a little depressed, lifted the wine, and said sourly: "Zizhan eats wine, in terms of flirting with sisters, you are still good." ”

"Flirting with what?" Su Shi was already drinking, and he didn't understand the words too well.

But it was this song, just out of Su Shi's mouth, and Yun Jin'er was already singing. Before Yun Jin'er finished singing, someone next door had already gotten the original text and started singing.

It's just that I didn't expect that this word would cause trouble.

There is a great figure in Bianliang City, who is also celebrating his official position in Fan Lou at this time, and when he hears this song, he asks: "Who did this?" ”

The girl who sang the song replied: "Back to Yan Gongzi's words, this is what the Yun family just passed over, and it is said to be the work of Su Shi in Meizhou." ”

The awesome character nodded, and said to the left and right: "Su Shi, I have heard some of it, this word is okay, barely in my ears." But when I came, I didn't see Miss Yun come to sit and sing, so I went to someone else's place. ”

What does this mean? Why is this Yan Gongzi so coaxing? Because of this Yan Gongzi, his background is not small, his temper is even bigger, and his tone is even more amazing, and he even looks at the sky when he walks.
