Su Shi nodded with a wry smile, and when Su San hadn't noticed, he complained in a low voice: "Hey, I finally went out, but I was followed by this fart worm, and I was uncomfortable in every way." It's time for Brother Cui to make you laugh. ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "Stunning beauties accompany each other on the same road, I think Brother Su, you are sitting and enjoying the blessings of Qi people, how can you not be here in every way?" ”

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, only then did he know that Cui Wenqing had seen through Su San's identity as a woman, and knew that he must have misunderstood, and it was inconvenient to explain at the moment, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not shallow, don't mention it, let's not talk about my affairs first, let's talk about your affairs." ”

"Talk about me?" Cui Wenqing raised his eyebrows, suddenly understood something, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Su, you didn't come to be a lobbyist for Zhe Zhao today, right?" I'm a small-bellied person, and I won't get around her so easily. ”

"Hmph, you think beautifully!" Su Shi glanced at him and said with a smile, "I have known Zhe Zhao for so many years, and I have never seen her surrender to anyone, nor have I seen her take the initiative to apologize to anyone, today I am just standing on the fair position of a bystander, and I will chat with you, Brother Wenqing." ”

"Why, do you think I did something wrong yesterday?" Cui Wenqing was suddenly a little dissatisfied.

"Actually, I think you're not wrong at all, but you're also wrong."

"Huh! Why did Brother Su become ambiguous when he spoke, could it be that he learned from the ancestor Su Wei? ”

Cui Wenqing's joke is quite reasonable.

Su Shi's ancestor was Su Wei, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, who had a smooth career and prosperous official fortunes, and was the prime minister for several years, but he did not have much merit.

And Su Wei is old and sophisticated, and he often says to people: "I don't want to make a decision to understand, if there is a mistake, I will be blamed, but I can hold both ends of the spectrum."

And the idiom of ambiguity was invented by this person.

In the face of ridicule, Su Shi smiled dumbly and said, "How can it! The reason why Brother Cui was right last night is that you did what a man should do, in the face of bullying from others, a good man should be angry, and he did not flinch in the face of provocation, saying that you were wrong, because the forces behind Sima Tang and Assistant Teacher Xie are too powerful, if you take the imperial examination in the future, I am afraid that it will be more difficult and troublesome, and last night Ah Zhao was worried about this matter, so she said that you were not tolerant enough, and she was also thinking about you. ”

Cui Wenqing thought about it seriously, and then suddenly came to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "Sima Tang Xie Assistant Teacher, how is it, he has always been happy to enmity and hatred, and do whatever he wants, if he is faced with provoking the turtle with a shrunken head, this person doesn't live, speaking of which, you were also very impulsive last night, why are you still talking about me now?" ”

Hearing the latter sentence, Su Shi blushed slightly.

When he went back last night, he was taught a lesson by his little sister's words, but even so, he still didn't regret it in his heart.

A good man does something and doesn't do something, in that case, if he forbears and retreats, how can he swallow the evil breath in his heart, as Cui Wenqing said, how can he be the turtle with a shrunken head!

Thinking of this, Su Shi made up his mind that he must recommend Cui Wenqing in front of Enxiang, lest he be suppressed by Sima Tang and Assistant Teacher Xie, thus cutting off the road to the imperial examination.

"Brother Wen Qing's words are true, but from Ah Zhao's standpoint, there is nothing wrong, in fact, according to Ah Zhao's words today, the original contradiction between you can be resolved by mediation, but you insisted on not listening at that time."

Cui Wenqing sighed lightly and said: "Brother Su, I, Cui Wenqing, am a manly man, hiding behind a woman, and letting a woman solve things is like a word?" Anyway, what you do is what you do, and I don't regret it. ”

"Then you're not going to apologize to Zhao? Not ready to go back? Su Shi asked with a smile.

Cui Wenqing nodded and said, "Unless she comes to apologize to me in person, I will stay here forever,"

"Haha, Brother Wen Qing is really lovely! I'm not afraid of breaking the female devil at all, and I really admire it. Su Shi stroked his palms and smiled, picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "Come on, let's drink tea." ”

Cui Wenqing picked up the teacup as he said and collided heavily with the teacup in his hand.

Luoyang Imperial City, the palace pavilion is majestic, resplendent and splendid, the high palace wall and the ridge of the palace cover the light of the sunset at dusk, and the layers of palace buildings are like high mountains and valleys, so that the various courtyards of Shangshu Province are shrouded in deep darkness.

The time for the release of the government has long passed, and the officials are also gone, only the sound of the official room of Shangshu Ling Wang Anshi is still heard, indicating that there are still people busy in it.

Wang Anshi's office is not very large, and a row of bookshelves almost occupies the north wall, and the books on the shelves are very neatly arranged.

In the center of the room, there is a large and thick mahogany table, on which is placed a bronze paperweight, and a Tang Sancai pen holder.

There is a copper kettle dripping in the most conspicuous part of the room, which is obviously the owner of the house with a strong sense of time.

At this moment, the sun is setting, red as blood, Wang Anshi is standing in front of the window reading a letter carefully, his expression is faintly different from the serious and dignified excitement of the past.

This letter was just delivered to Shangshu Province this afternoon, and it was also the first letter sent by Su Shi, who went to Fuzhou on a business trip.

After receiving the letter, Wang Anshi, who has always been diligent and dedicated, even did not hesitate to put down a few more urgent official duties, opened the envelope with a hint of expectation on his face, and began to read the contents of the letter carefully.

However, as soon as he browsed it, Wang Anshi showed a shocked look, and then read it carefully, and the shocked color turned into uncontrollable excitement.

Then he took a long breath and stood up, pacing back and forth in the room, and for a moment he was so happy that he could not control himself, and a smile appeared on his face that he had not seen in a long time.

He knew that there was a very proper solution to this important and difficult matter that had plagued the imperial court for many days, and Su Shi had an even more bold proposal in his heart, which made him feel even more excited and excited!

After a long time, Wang Anshi slapped his palms and sighed: "Mr. Xiwen is honest and does not deceive me, this Cui Wenqing is really a ghost!" It's a pity that such a great talent is not used by the imperial court. ”

Thinking of this, Wang Anshi thought about it for a while, and after making up his mind, he tidied up his official clothes and put on his official hat, and walked towards the inner court with light steps.

The summer days are long, and when Wang Anshi leaves Shangshu Province, it is the time when the sunset falls on the West Mountain, and the sunset renders the sky.

He didn't take a step, so he passed through Yingtianmen and Yongtai Gate into the inner court in a row, and bypassed Hanyuan Hall from the east palace road, and the Xuanwu Palace, the sleeping palace of the Emperor of Great Qi, had already appeared in front of him.
