Walking up to the atrium, Han Gang saw Su Shi.

It is still a signature long sideburns that covers most of his expression, but the lines at the corners of his eyes can be seen to be laughing.

"Why is Xuanhui late?" Su Shi said from afar, deliberately looking at the west, "It's already sunset......

Su Shi is unforgiving. "The sun and the evening" is a sentence in the "Gentleman in Service" in the "Book of Songs", the former sentence is "the chicken perches on the ridge", and the latter sentence is "the cattle and sheep come down" - at dusk, the chickens return to the nest, and the cattle and sheep return to the circle - this is to say that Han Gang is "the cattle and sheep come down".

Han Gang glanced at Zhang Dun, the protagonist was not surprised or discolored by Su Shi's words, and was very calm on the side.

Han Gang smiled slightly, Zhang Dian can be regarded as a confidant, and he knows that he will not be angry for a few words.

"A gentleman is in service, and he doesn't know the period. The court sent people, but it was impossible to tell when, didn't Zizhan just arrive? Han Gang smiled: "The cattle and sheep came down, so Han Gang also came." ”

This is just a very simple joke, if Han Gang doesn't deal with it properly and spreads it outside, it will be embarrassing. Now that he is going back with the words, Su Shi lifted his beard and smiled, "Xuanhui said well, Su Shi is here, it can be said that cattle and sheep have come down." ”

stepped forward and greeted Han Gang, Su Shi said: "Xuanhui, it's rare to see." ”

The words seemed sarcastic, but the tone was not so bitter, but rather complaining like an old friend.

"Indeed, except in the court, it is indeed rare to see Zizhan outside. This is the first time. Han Gang replied frankly.

Su Shi had supervised the liquor tax in Jiangzhou for several years because of the Wutai poetry case, but Jiangzhou was a famous and wealthy town on the Yangtze River, far greater than Jiujiang in later generations. With the abundant local production and the scenery of Lushan Mountain and Poyang Lake, Su Shi did not look bad when he returned, and he was much fatter than when he left Beijing - but he had been in Taiwan for several months at the time, so it was not suitable for comparison.

In fact, in the past few months, Han Gang and Su Shi have met many times. It's just that there is a gap in official positions, as well as relationship problems, and there is no contact at all.

Just a few days ago, Han Gang had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Beijing literary circle led by Su Shi because of He Zhu's matter, and he withdrew He Zhu's errand, not to mention, and also opposed Han Gang's proposal to convert him to civilian capital. Up to now, He Zhu is still waiting in the third class courtyard in Beijing, but I heard that he is going to work as an editor under Su Shi to make money to supplement his family.

There were rumors in the DPRK at that time that Han Gang was definitely going to find trouble with Su Shi. With Cai Jing in front, everyone in the world said that with his tough and even almost extreme character, most of them would trample Su Shi under his feet before he would give up.

Han Gang was not interested in explaining this misunderstanding, he didn't have that free time, and he couldn't control other people's thoughts. What is the situation on Su Shi's side, he is not interested in knowing, as long as he does not commit his own taboos, let him go and make trouble.

Still, he sent out an invitation. Let Han Gang understand that there are some things that he doesn't care about, but others will still care, and a clear statement can also reassure all parties.

Since Zhang Dian has this idea, as a close friend, Han Gang can't be unfulfilled, it's just a trivial matter.

Zhang Dian was pleased with Han Gang's attitude, although Han Gang was alarmist beforehand, but he really came to the door as a guest, and still saved him face.

"Yukun, Zizhan, don't tell jokes, you're all late, and you deserve to be punished for reasoning."

"Han Gangsu can't poetry, punishment poetry can't be done, punishment wine can drink a little." Han Gang spoke more bluntly and made no secret of his shortcomings.

Su Shi raised his eyebrows: "Shi has always been too much to drink, and the punishment for wine will be waived." ”

"Then punish the poem." Han Gang said, "Those who can work harder." ”

"I went to see the plum blossoms first. Drink and enjoy the flowers first. ”

Following Zhang Dian, Han Gang and Su Shi came all the way to the back garden of Zhang's mansion.

The house given to Zhang Dian by the imperial court has been the residence of the privy envoy for more than 20 years, and the more than ten acres of plum forest in the back garden are also somewhat famous in the capital.

Pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, these gardens are accustomed to the arrangement of needless to mention, in front of the hundreds of thousands of plum trees with white flowers and snow, is the most popular scenery on the Zhangdun Mansion.

Moreover, there has long been no snow on the streets and roads of the capital, but there is still a thick layer in the back garden of Zhangdun, which seems to have been deliberately not cleaned. Wang Anshi's back garden in the middle of the house did not clean the snow. However, his family lacked manpower, which was different from the situation of Zhang's family.

Flowers are like snow, snow is like flowers, up and down are plain, there is a dark fragrance floating, there is a stream murmuring.

Standing in front of the sea of flowers, Su Shi even held his breath, and it took a long time before he let out a long breath: "I forgot the vulgar at first sight." Lin and Jingmei's wife Hezi will never marry. In the old days, I only thought that he was afraid of people and misanthropic people. When I saw this scene today, I finally understood his heart. No wonder. ”

Turning his head to Han Gang and Zhang Dian said: "In the past, Taibai climbed the Yellow Crane Tower, and when he saw that 'Yanbo River makes people sad', he didn't dare to write poems. Now that Jing is in front, Su Shi doesn't dare to do Mei poems. ”

Han Gang was also shocked by the thousand plum gardens, and it was also a long time before he said to Zhang Tun: "This can be described as a sea of fragrant snow. ”

"Well said!"

"That's a good analogy!"

Zhang Dian and Su Shi praised at the same time.

Su Shi stroked his palm and said: "The three words 'Xiangxuehai' should be on the famous stone, and I think it is a postscript." ”

"It's rare that Yukun is interested today, can you have a good sentence or two?"

Han Gang shook his head, this is not his ability, but the memory from the future generations.

"The plum blossom in front of him, Han Gang can know its genus, know its classification, and know how to plant the road, how to take the fruit, how to make wine, the only thing that doesn't know the way is how to make poems against it."

Su Shi said: "That's enough, why do you need to force poetry?" ”

The three of them walked into a small pavilion in the sea of flowers together, looked around, surrounded by flowers and trees, and the fragrance was faint, which made people feel like they were really boating on the sea of fragrant snow.

Seeing the scenery here, Su Shi's previous insistence on not wanting to do poetry has vanished, "Although there is no forest and Jingzhi, it is inevitable that I want to start poetry." ”

"I'll just wait for you."

In fact, Han Gang is not very much looking forward to Su Shi's works today.

Su Shi had a good life in Jiangzhou, and the level of poetry was not able to go to a higher level. At least there are no works that can compare with those famous works in later generations, and there is no work that can move him.

No matter which one of them is, it is far from being as good as 'The waves have swept away the romantic characters of the ages', and it is also not as good as 'The boat is gone, and the rivers and seas send the rest of their lives'. There is no cynicism of 'picking up all the cold branches and refusing to perch', there is no dust and vulgarity, and there is no free and easy 'a cloud of smoke and rain for a lifetime'. Compared to the current world, it may still be considered outstanding, but compared with the level in Han Gang's memory, it inevitably seems mediocre.

This is really an article hateful, if Su Shi was severely punished and relegated to a deserted place, he would be able to go to the next level.

It's a pity that the words are peerless, and it's a pity that Dongpo meat.

Han Gang was thinking so, and there was a burst of meat aroma wafting from the pavilion, a smell of braised pork.

It is not strange that this stove is opened under the pavilion, the weather is cold, and drinking outside the house, of course, the wine and food must be made first, and it is hot at any time, so that it can be used at any time. The aroma of the surrounding plum blossoms has not been affected in the slightest, and most of them are heated with smokeless tribute charcoal. It's just that in this era, braised pork is really rare.

"What's this good dish?" Han Gang asked.

"Rock sugar pork skin." Zhang Dian was surprised, "Isn't it from Yukun's family?" ”

Han Gang was even more surprised, "Is it from the Han family?" ”

"It must have come from your family." Zhang Dian was sure, "The name is Hanfu meat." It is said that Yukun is a disciple of the Medicine King, and you must know how to maintain health, so what you eat and drink is followed by someone to learn. The daily menu can be sold for money. ”

didn't steal poetry, but stole the naming rights of dishes. Han Gang was stunned, but he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

However, he can not do poetry, but he can't stop eating rock sugar braised pork, and rock sugar elbow has to be tried from time to time. Hanfu meat is Hanfu meat, and if you care so much, you can't eat good meat.

"Pork is slightly poisonous and filthy, and the Great Food Sect regards it as a taboo, and it is not seen on the table on weekdays. But the pork is delicious. Otherwise, why did Han Gang bother with how to roast meat? ”

From the perspective of food hygiene, it is true that mutton is safer in this era, but he just can't help it. It's just that they are afraid of parasites, and the Han family never eats offal. However, Zhang Dian's words may be true, and they are indeed recipes handed down by his family.

Su Shi said with a smile: "You can eat all the puffer fish, can't you eat pork?" In Jiangzhou, the fish is eaten more, and the meat is eaten less. Smelling this smell, there is not half a bit of elegant bones left, and this layman's stomach and intestines will have the upper hand. ”

"The price of pork is extremely cheap, and Han Gang often eats it when he is young. I can't change the taste now. If you really want to talk about it, it's really similar to eating puffer fish desperately. They all know that it is not good or harmful, but they can't help it, but the degree is different. One is fighting for the disease of the future, and the other is fighting for the time to be a ghost. ”

"It's a pity that I've never seen a puffer fish ghost, otherwise you can ask him if it's worth exchanging a life for a mouthful of puffer fish meat." Su Shi said with a smile, "When Shi first arrived in Jiangzhou, there were very few visitors for a while. There is no talk and laughter, and there are many white dings. When I was bored, I talked to the guest about ghosts, and lived like this. Does Zihou still like to hear people talk about ghost foxes now? ”

Zhang Dian shook his head and said: "When I was young, I loved to talk about ghosts at night, but now I only know how to worship ghosts and gods and stay away." What about you, Yukun? What do you think of ghostly things? ”

"I have never seen it before, and I don't know if there are ghosts or ghosts in the world." Han Gang said, "Han Gang's learning is realistic and truth-seeking, if there are really ghosts in the world, Han Gang wants to see it with his own eyes!" ”

Su Shi said with a smile: "Gewu Zhizhi, it seems that it is an invisible ghost thing. ”

Han Gang said, "To know things, what you know is everything in the world." What is the difference between tangible flowers and trees and invisible wind? As long as there is such a thing, the world can see it. ”

Su Shi shook his head, "There are many ghosts, and Su Shi has seen them a few times." ”

"Han Gang has never seen it, and he has never seen anyone who can catch it for others to see." Han Gang said, "The most important point of the experiment is that it must be repeatable, and under the same conditions, anyone can repeat it and get the same result, so it is a public opinion." ”

"Taibai's text, no one can get its essence. So according to the theory of things, he just can't use it? ”

"The text of Taibai is not ordinary. So it can't be used. If a scout dares to go back to a front mountain that is 18,000 feet high and the mountains and rivers go straight down 3,000 feet, military law will not spare him...... This generation is extraordinary, so it is not suitable to do mundane things. ”

Su Shi's words were close to questioning. Han Gang's reply was full of malice.
