Chapter 4: The Clouds Sweep the Short Canopy (3)
Shangyuan has passed, and the atmosphere of the New Year has disappeared.
Huzhou is located in the two Zhejiang provinces, and spring ploughing will soon begin. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, whether it is the officials in the yamen or the old farmers in the fields, at this time, they have to be busy.
On He Mountain outside Huzhou City, there is still a group of people sitting or standing leisurely inside and outside a pavilion.
Outside the pavilion, there is a group of uniformly dressed families, and then there is a group of idlers wearing various colors, all looking at the pavilion, their faces full of anticipation.
In the pavilion, charcoal was burning in the two braziers, and the flames licked high, and the heat wave was rolling, driving away the dampness and coldness of early spring and late winter in the pavilion. Several prostitutes dressed in red and green clothes sat around with pipa and sheng flutes in their arms, playing very leisurely and plucking, so that the soft tune spread from the pavilion to the ears of everyone outside the pavilion.
"Why haven't new poems come out yet?"
"Master Su has been in for a while."
"Come on."
The chatter in the crowd also came back with the wind.
By the brazier in the pavilion, two middle-aged men were at the center of everyone.
One of them, with three long beards, said with a smile: "Zizhan is as straight as Wei Jue, I am afraid that I will be killed by the world......"
The other had a big beard and patted his stomach, "Su Shi is stupid, he likes to eat meat and drink wine the most, but he is not so delicate." ”
"It is also Zizhan who is now famous all over the world, so that the world will follow him."
"But it is like a rotting fly chasing stinky meat."
Su Shi followed, the two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed.
Su Shi, the current governor of Huzhou, took the handle jade Ruyi and gently knocked on his hand: "Last year, I took my friends to travel to the two mountains of He and Dao, and when I encountered wind and rain in the road, I rested in the Chenghui Pavilion on the old river of Jia Yun, and ordered the official prostitute to hold the candle, painted a branch of wind and rain bamboo on the wall, and inscribed a poem: it will set off the dance momentum and draw the candle to the wind." The beauty is broken, just like the waist. This article should be the first in Huzhou for several months. ”
"Beauty is broken, just like the waist and limbs." The middle-aged man sitting opposite Su Shi smiled, "Zizhan is very interested...... It's a pity that Wang Gong was unable to attend the meeting, which is a pity. ”
Su Shi stopped the jade Ruyi in his hand and looked at Wang Gong: "I can't decide the country to sing and make peace, and Su Shi also feels that it is not very satisfying." ”
"Wang Gongjie is not as good as Zizhan, and tomorrow he should come out with a perfunctory article." Wang Gong overlooked the fields under the mountain in the pavilion, and there were already farmers in the fields who were plowing the fields with oxen, "Now that the Shangyuan Festival has passed, the state should also be busy, Wang Gong has passed Huzhou, but Zizhan's official business has been delayed." ”
"Dingguo came to Huzhou, but it was cheaper for Su Shi." Su Shi smiled, holding the jade Ruyi and waved the distant water and near the mountain, "I am sick in the mountains and rivers of Huzhou, and the country is coming soon, so I can make up my mind to be sick for a few days." As for state affairs, it will be handed over to the general judgment Zu Wupo for temporary photography. ”
"The state hall and the hall have always been incompatible. In particular, in the past, Qian Kun begged to make up for other counties, and people asked him what he wanted, but he was only clouded: there are crabs and no sentences can be given. Zizhan can let go of state affairs, but he is more than Qian Kunkuoda. ”
Su Shi laughed loudly: "Meng Ke Youyun: 'It's not difficult to be in politics, and you must not offend the giant room. The admiration of a giant room, the admiration of a country; What a country admires, the world admires, so AEC morality overflows all over the world. Huzhou giant room is now in its own place, why does Su Shi have to work on the case. Saying that, "Decide the policy to settle the people, and the state will be in charge." As for trivial matters, what about handing them over to a general judgment? ”
Wang Gong sighed: "If the military and state commanders in the world are as open-minded as Zizhan, the state affairs have already been decided. ”
"Su Shi's talent is not enough. How can it be like a fixed country, a huge family of ministers, a family of scholars, if you come out and rule the world, why worry about the uncertain world? Su Shi said in a long voice: "The so-called homeland is not said to be an arbor, but also a minister. ”
This is the advice of Mencius when he saw King Hui of Liang, Wang Gong shook his head and sighed: "It is better to be a courtier to win the favor of the Son of Heaven." ”
"What's the point of this generation?" Su Shi was unceremoniously, "There is nothing to do, business is utilitarian, the class hall is the best, and Dingguo is not as sincere as a new person." As for the time of emergency, make a big decision, reassure the public, call it to come, and wave it away, but the ministers and the giant room are able! ”
Wang Gong's grandfather was Wang Dan, the famous minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty, and his father was Wang Su, a famous minister of the Renzong Dynasty. Great-ancestor Wang You was also an important minister of the Taizu Taizong Dynasty. Wang You was named the Duke of Jin, Wang Dan was named the Duke of Wei, Wang Su was a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, Xining died of illness in six years, and was given the nickname 'Yimin'. Wang Gong is a family of fathers, and he belongs to the ranks of the great family of ministers mentioned by Su Shi.
Wang Gong's eyes were smiling, but he shook his head, saying that he couldn't afford it and didn't dare to be it.
"How can you not afford it?" Su Shi said: "When Jiayou, Su Shi first met Prince Yimin in Chengdu, and then engaged in Qizhou. When Fang was around, the western captives invaded the border in a big way, and the people on the border were afraid, and the army was unusable. But as soon as he heard that Duke Yimin was coming, Xiyu immediately dismissed his troops and left. It's just a feast. So that the newcomers deserve it, although there is the courage of Han Xin and Bai Qi, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, how can Yi Min not work for the army and the people, and sit on the victory and acquiesce in success. ”
Wang Su didn't do anything back then, he just happened to bump into the western thief to break the siege - it can't even be said that he collided, and when the party members left satisfied, Wang Su had not yet arrived, but he had two skins on his mouth, and he wanted to blame Wang Su, and Su Shi had enough talent to do it.
Su Shi said, then stood up, "Take the paper, ink, pen and inkstone!" ”
The accompanying companion waited for this sentence, set up a table in the pavilion, spread paper, polished the ink, and handed the pen to Su Shi.
Su Shi took the pen and dipped it in ink, turned back to Wang Gong who came over, and said: "I have a true praise, chasing Yimin Gong under Jiuquan." ”
Immediately put down the pen, a line of cursive dragon flying phoenix dance, appeared on the paper, Su Shi's calligraphy is well-known in the world, the article is the best contemporary, Wang Gong read carefully.
"The dignified Duke of Wei, worthy of summoning the ancestors. Xianyun Yimin, the tiger of Wei Zhou. Wei Gong is in the court, and Baidu is positive. Yi Min was outside, and there was no sound. Clever and broad, suitable for public and suitable for appearance. Such as wood 100 around, Yigong Yitang. The sky is both thick and rich. Like mountains and rivers, there is security. ”
Wang Gong raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of joy. Only Su Zizhan's words are worthy of his father.
Su Shiyun's pen is like flying: "The son of the poor [poor man] is ugly and cold. In the end, I will never worry about it, and I don't know its sage. ”
Wang Gong smiled slightly, and nodded even more. Exactly! The background of such a small family is just a dog and a fly camp, although it is not useless, but it is not a virtuous person in Dingguo.
"It's easy not to look at this, Pei Yu sword shoes. The grandson of the Duke of Jin and the son of the Duke of Wei. ”
The last sixteen words were completed in one go, Su Shi raised his hand and threw the pen, straightened his waist and smiled.
Wang Gong read it through: "The reputation of Zizhan, Wang Gong didn't dare to accept it." Only talk about the virtue of the ancestors, and dare not refuse......"
He was overjoyed and read the hymn written by Su Shi over and over again.
In the pavilion, several prostitutes waved their silk strings and sang out the four-word hymn written by Su Shi for Wang Su, the father of Wang Gong.
Su Shi was in high spirits at this time, and looked at Wang Gong, who had a plump face, smooth skin, and was so well maintained that he didn't even see crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, "Su Shi has another article to give to Dingguo." ”
Immediately put down the pen, "Wen Ranze also, the Taoist is also good." The awe-inspiring and pure, the poet's trouble. The graceful one who entrusts the snake, the son of the nobleman. And the short and concise, the ranger also. How can people know it, this is all their skin. If you are a person, you are not arrogant, you are sleepy, and you are not dry. ”
Soon, this praise was also sung by the prostitute.
"See, this is what it means to be an official." A countryman who was in charge of Mengxue patted his disciple's head, "Study hard, and if you become an official in the Jinshi in the future, you can do the same!" ”
"Mr. Su took leave for the past two days and revisited Heshan with his friends, and sure enough, a masterpiece came out."
Su Shi is only a direct history museum, not yet at the level of the service system, and it is 1,800 miles away from the bachelor, but the people outside are all bachelors.
After all, Wenqu Xing descended to earth......
Su Shi has only been in Huzhou for a few months, from autumn to winter, he has visited the mountains and rivers, and dozens of poems have come out. One article came out, and it was immediately sung in the city.
And among the state officials, no one calls him Zhizhou, but a straight history - Su Shi's literary name is widely spread all over the world, how can he not be called by the title of literature?
But the general judgment of Zu Wupo is not so prestigious, when Su Shi was reciting poems in the famous places outside the city, he was still buried in the hall of business. Half of my lunch was put aside, and the pen in my hand never stopped.
The official documents on the desk are piled high. Just after the New Year's Festival, the official affairs of the prefectures and counties under the rule of Huzhou that were delayed were presented to many at once. And Zhizhou Su Shi took sick leave and went out to visit the mountains and rivers with visiting friends. The big and small affairs in the Huzhou Yamen were all pressed on Zu Wupo, who was in charge of the affairs of the state.
Zu Wupo read the official documents one by one, and his cronies and staff led two small officials holding account books into the hall.
When he arrived at Zu Wupo's side, the staff said in a low voice, "General judgment, just after the Shangyuan Festival, the state minister's money has gone to 20%. Cold food and Dragon Boat Festival are indispensable to set up banquets and shrines, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will be exhausted in the middle of the year. ”
"Someone will invite him later, anyway." Zu Wupo said without raising his head, "Su Zhishi was sentenced to three years in Hangzhou, and he regarded it as a hell of wine and food, and there was no need to worry about him when he ate and drank." ”
The staff had an anxious look on his face, where was he anxious about the lack of money for a banquet in the second half of the year, and the money of the minister in the state was not just used to entertain guests.
At this time, I suddenly heard a voice outside the hall, "I'm back, I'm back!" Naoshi is back. ”
Zu Wupo looked up at the sky, it was not dusk, and he was slightly surprised: "It's really early today." ”
"It seems that Su Zhishi's brother sent someone from Nanjing." The staff lowered his voice and leaned closer and said, "It seems that there is something urgent, the front foot entered the backyard, and someone was sent to find Su Zhishi in the back foot." ”
Zu Wupo put down his pen, "Don't worry about other people's affairs." With that, he went out of the hall to welcome Zhizhou's return from his illness.
Su Shi and his entourage, who entered the courtyard from the side door, were in a hurry, feeling a little panicked. Especially Su Shi, who is the leader, seems to have lost his soul, and he has completely lost the old elegance. If in the past, how could he be so disgraceful as a doctor?
Zu Wupo was suspicious in his heart, wondering what was going on. Could it be that something happened to Xiao Su?
Speculation is speculation, but the official affairs that need to be dealt with urgently are still indispensable to report to Su Shi, "Zhishi, yesterday Yazhong received an official letter from Cao Si, and ordered the governor of the prefecture to set up a red bureau to take care of the matter of planting pox. Vaccinated pox will arrive in the state in early February. The counties under his rule need to send people to the state to learn about pox, and they must start planting pox for the people in the counties by May at the latest. ”
"This matter is at your sole discretion." Su Shi was very impatient and left.
Zu Wupo still wanted to speak, but Su Shi had already made great strides, and in a blink of an eye, he entered the backyard where the Zhizhou family lived.
