Chapter 1039 Counterfeit Dealer in the "City of Light" (Part I)

In the spring of the second year of Yuanyou, on the ninth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, on March 15 of the Gregorian calendar, the spring equinox, the inner city of Bianliang in Tokyo, and the Baijia Lane outside the Donghua Gate, at noon. Su Dongpo leisurely got off the soft sedan chair, and a small servant accompanying him cleverly stretched out his hand to support him, Su Shi shook off the little servant's hand and walked towards the house with his head down.

At the moment when he stepped towards the threshold, a crisp children's voice suddenly sounded across the street: "Daddy...... You say he's a daddy? ”

The street where Su Shi is located is a bustling street, and along the street is a series of shops. At noon, the boys' shouts came and went, this child's voice was very faint, but it gave him a strange feeling of flesh and blood, as if the sound of "Daddy" was calling him, and he couldn't help but stop and turn his head to look across the street.

There was a group of people standing across the street, starting with a very tall man, holding a puff puff child in his hand, pointing at Su Shi's back and whispering to the child.

Su Shi recognized the person at once, and also recognized the child in the other party's hand - the tall man was Zhao Xing, and the child in his hand - it must be Su Dun.

For a moment, Su Shi burst into tears.

It was the first time he had seen his youngest son since they were separated. Three years ago, shortly after Zhao Xing left, Emperor Shenzong ordered Su Shi to be transferred to Ruzhou and served as the deputy envoy of Ruzhou's regimental training. Although this is only a flat tone, Ruzhou is closer to the capital, and in Huangzhou he is a criminal official, and when he arrives in Ruzhou, he can sign official documents, which is equivalent to dissolving him of his status as a criminal official in disguise.

According to Zhao Xing's explanation, Su Shi entrusted Su Dun to the patriarch Cheng Tong for foster care when he left, and got up on his way. However, due to the long distance and unknown future, he applied to live in Changzhou.

Changzhou has the grave of his first love, his cousin, where he had previously bought a plot of land to wait for his first love. Emperor Shenzong approved his request, but when he arrived in Changzhou, it was rumored that he would be promoted to the governor of Dengzhou.

At first, Su Shi didn't believe this rumor, because there was no relevant report in the Di newspaper. But then rumors confirmed that he was urged to take office by the chincha. At this time, Su Shi had received the news from Chen Yu that because Zhao Xing had not returned for a long time, Cheng Azhu was lonely in the empty house, so he asked to raise Su Dun, and Su Shun was slowly transported to Hangzhou by water.

Su Shi decided to go to Dengzhou by sea, first to Hangzhou, and stopped by to see his youngest son Su Dun. However, he failed to take shape after all, and on the way he met a convoy of Cheng people who were transporting goods to Quanzhou, and learned that for safety, the ship carrying Su Dun was moving very slowly, and it might be a few months before it arrived in Hangzhou.

Su Shi couldn't afford to wait, considering that he would have to travel after all, he resolutely decided to continue to foster Su Dun, and he transferred to the Cheng clan convoy to Quanzhou, and then boarded the ship from Quanzhou...... Then, Shenzong died, and the seven-year-old Zhezong succeeded to the throne, and Su Shi's "fan" Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, and he was transferred back to the capital.

In this way, after three busy years, Su Shi occasionally heard some fragments of news from the Cheng family, saying that Su Dun was very good and was taken care of very carefully by Azhu, and Zhao Xing had been running overseas, and his fleet returned to China from time to time to transport back goods, and also brought back some new news, so that everyone knew that he was still alive.

It's been three years, Su Shi saw Xiao'er for the first time, and when he saw that he was raised so cutely by the other party, he couldn't help but cry, snatched the child, and shouted "My son, my son!" ”

This action frightened Su Dun, he cried nervously, and hurriedly shouted to Ah Zhu: "Mom, hug!" Embrace! ”。

Su Dun's voice was too loud, Su Shi had no choice but to hand over Su Dun, seeing Su Dun hiding in Ah Zhu's arms very happy, he turned his head and asked Zhao Xing: "Leave people, don't you leave when you come back this time...... Look, it's rude for the teacher, how can you stand on the side of the road and talk, go in quickly, talk in the house. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chaoyun, who heard the news of the child, ran out quickly, and she avoided the child from Azhu's arms, crying bitterly.

It's strange that Su escaped into her arms and didn't cry.

Chaoyun gave birth to her son Su Dun at the age of fourteen, Su Dun was less than one year old, and they separated from the mother and son, and when she saw the child at this moment, she couldn't help but burst into tears. After she finished crying and shed tears, she found Cheng Azhu beside Zhao Xing...... There is also a strange beauty with a short stature.

This beauty was dressed in white silk and had a fair complexion, but although her clothes were plain and elegant, her jewelry was gorgeous and outrageous, with beads and emeralds, swaying and shining, and gold and silver sleeves...... Compared with Cheng Azhu's simplicity, it makes people feel that this girl is more flamboyant.

Mrs. Wang also came out immediately, she took the sixteen-year-old Su Yu and the fourteen-year-old Su Guo to welcome the young son who had been separated for a long time, but when she saw that her husband seemed to have something to say to the guest, she hurriedly welcomed Ah Zhu and the strange beauty into the back hall to recount the feelings after parting.

After a while, only men remained in the hall.

Su Shi knew Jin Buer, Xiao Feng, Xiao Qi, and Chen Buqun beside Zhao Xing, but he didn't know this short man, judging from his appearance, this man was very similar to the strange woman just now, and the two seemed to be brother and sister. He was about to greet and ask, when Zhao Xing pulled the strange man over and introduced him to Su Shi: "Teacher, this is Chen Gongchuan, a scholar of the Great Yue Kingdom. ”

Chen Gongchuan was so excited that his whole body was soft, and his lips trembled and he couldn't speak for a long time. Su Shi looked the other party up and down, and said modestly: "I heard that what the Yue people learned is the legacy of the prince (Wang Bo's father). In front of the prince, I am a junior, and I dare not speak lightly of poetry. So, let's exchange poems when we have time, okay? ”

Su Shi is a scholar, and his poems are famous throughout Asia, and he doesn't know it yet. And this Chen Gongchuan also heard that Zhao Xing was going to return to China, so he pestered Zhao Xing to come to Song Kingdom, hoping that Zhao Xing could introduce his idol.

Such a poet who changed the color of the king, actually talked with a young boy with a pleasant face, how could it not make Chen Gongchuan soften with excitement, he stalked for a long time before taking out a book of poems from his body and mustering up the courage to hand it over: "This is a boy's game, please appreciate the question." ”

Su Shi took the collection of poems and read it politely. Zhao Xing admired poetry, but was not interested in other people's fanaticism, he beckoned Su Shi's portable servant, and ordered casually as if he was at home: "You, go to the dock with my people, I have some luggage for them to move...... By the way, what's your name? ”

The little guy bowed his hand humbly: "The male and female names are Yan Shi - Gao Yan Shi." ”

Su Shi hurriedly introduced to Zhao Xing: "This is my little history...... Master Yan, listen to the orders of the departed people. ”

Then Su Shi lowered his head and flipped through Chen Gongchuan's poetry collection, politely commented slightly, Chen Gongchuan was on the verge of losing control with excitement, Zhao Xing saw that the other party's mood was very dangerous, and he did not hesitate to lift the other party's neck, carry it to the door and put it down, and then patted the other party's shoulder and said: "Go find your sister, and come back when the mood is calm." ”

Looking at Chen Gongchuan's staggering back, Su Shi said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid this person's family background is not simple, his clothes are of high quality, the needlework is extremely symmetrical, and the workmanship is ...... from there" Su Shi pointed to the direction of the palace and continued: "...... It's not the same. In Cochin, people who can do such a ......"

Zhao Xing nodded: "The father of this guy is a confidant of King Li, and he is currently the former commander and privy envoy of the Yue State Palace. ”

What Zhao Xing didn't know was that after several generations of the Li Dynasty in Vietnam, there was only one female descendant left in the family, and this woman surnamed Li eventually married the Chen family man and passed the throne to her husband, and then, Vietnam entered the Chen Dynasty.

The Tran Gong Chuan family is doing business in partnership with Zhao Xing, a person who has a very "benefit-sharing" concept, and the Tran family is now equal to his collaborators in Vietnam. It was based on this relationship that Chen Gongchuan's father asked Zhao Xing to bring his third son to the Song Kingdom and worship under Su Shi.

History has changed, and there is a fanatical Su Shi fan in Vietnamese history, who is the ancestor of the Tran Dynasty in Vietnam. In his later years, this "Su fan" imitated the West Lake that Su Shi had organized, and built a Vietnamese version of "West Lake" everywhere in Vietnam.

However, the appearance of Chen Gongchuan derailed history, his eldest brother did not come to the Song Kingdom, but the boy Chen Gongchuan.

Su Shi's guess was confirmed, he was very satisfied with his vision, beckoned the servant, and invited Chen Gongchuan to come to the study for a reunion: "I happen to have something to ask him, you can also listen to it." ”

While waiting for Chen Gongchuan's free time, Su Shi asked with concern: "Where have you been in the past three years?" Oh, and how is the scenery overseas? ”

"Hmm...... The first year I spent time in the country of Da Viet, and at the beginning of the second year, my ship arrived...... The court called it the nation of the black coats, but they called themselves 'Abbasids,' and I went to their shipbuilding port, a city called 'Oman......

In the third year, I went to the opposite continent of Oman – that was the continent of Afrigio, also known as 'Africa'. I've toured several countries in Africa...... Then, I came back.

It took me three years to open up a whole trade route, and the African merchants had agreed to have my fleet turn over their cargo. At the moment, a war is brewing on that continent...... A rare big war. A continent in the north of the African continent is at war with the continent near them, and hundreds of countries will be drawn into the flames.

The African merchants agreed to help me buy the goods I needed and distribute them to me – whether they belonged to the Song Kingdom or to Abbas. I left enough people at the supply points along the way, and I said that they would rotate every three years. After this trade route is opened, all that remains is business, and I will probably stay in the country for a long time - if nothing goes wrong, maybe I will only go out and walk around by chance.

As for the scenery along the way......"

Su Shi suddenly remembered something and interrupted Zhao Xing's story: "Leave people, this year's spring is set in April, this is a 'museum ministry', you hurry up to Huangzhou to ask for a certificate of origin, just to participate in the spring examination." ”

Zhao Xing shrugged: "I'm here for this...... Teacher, I would like to take the examination for the weightlifting part. ”

Su Shi frowned: "Participate in the system?" Since the Song Dynasty, there have been two Jiazi, but only 21 people have been admitted to the department, and 40,000 Jinshi have been admitted in the same period...... I happen to be the examiner this year, and if you insist, then I will resign as the examiner and make a referral for you. ”
