In November of the second year of Xining, Emperor Shenzong wanted to reuse Su Shi, but Wang Anshi resolutely stopped him.

In the end, Su Shi was appointed as the judge of Kaifeng Mansion.

This appointment had its own profound meaning, which could keep him away from the emperor's sight, and it could also bother him with complicated local administrative matters in the capital, so that he had little spare energy to interfere in the affairs of the court.

In the third year of Xining, Su Zizhan was almost punished for criticizing the law change in a book.

Later, he was released to serve as a scholar in Chenzhou, and like Sima Guang, he never talked about the new law again.

But this kind of principle of doing things, Su Zizhan can't learn it in his life, it's too inconsistent with his personality.

Looking at his younger brother and the seniors he admired, close friends, and colleagues around him, they left the dynasty one by one in frustration because of their opposition to the new law, and an unprecedented sense of loneliness rose in Su Zizhan's heart.

December 19, Xiao Chaoyun's birthday.

Chaoyun likes this birthday, and the master picked her up on this day, and it is the 'fate' that the master said.

But for others, it was still an ordinary day, just like yesterday and tomorrow.

Except for Xiao Chaoyun, no one in this welfare home knows that today is her birthday. Who cares what birthday an orphan is?

"After the New Year, take this child to school. Xiao Chaoyun is ten years old," the dean said to Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen saw Chaoyun sitting at the door looking up at the sky, and sighed: "Okay." But the boy didn't speak......"

"More kids of the same age in school, it's going to be fine."

"I hope so."

……

This is the first Chinese New Year's Eve without a master and senior brother, Chaoyun heard the New Year's bell ringing, and colorful sparks erupted in the sky.

Fireworks are beautiful, but they are also short-lived, just like ...... Affection.

Seeing the happy atmosphere of the welfare home, Chaoyun knew that this did not belong to him.

Aunt Chen, who was at the mercy of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, saw Chaoyun standing at the door again, her back was thin, and her heart ached.

The difficult New Year passed quickly, and it was time for Chaoyun to enroll.

Aunt Chen personally took it to go through the admission procedures.

"That...... Teacher, can I ask you something? ”

"What's wrong?" The young director lifted the frame of his glasses.

"This kid is a little ...... I don't like to talk, can I take care of it more......" Aunt Chen looked at Chaoyun, who was sitting beside her, and the pity in her eyes was self-evident.

"This ......"

"Director, this kid should be placed in my class." Teacher Lin, who had just come in to sort out the documents, laughed, and she had heard about the child just now.

Mr. Lin is a recent college graduate, in his early twenties, and is very friendly to students.

"Okay, so be it"
