Chapter 60: After Bachelor Xiao Su
Su Fang is from a famous family.
His father, Su Zhe, is the little Su among the three Sus, and he married two ladies in his life, but he also had two or three concubines. Su Fang's mother, Zhao, was Su Zhe's last concubine before his death, and she was fortunate enough to give birth to Su Fang.
After Su Dongpo's death, Su Zhe's career reached its peak, and he achieved the title of scholar to the official position of the servant Shangshu Youcheng, which can be described as a high power.
However, the style of the three Sus is not comparable to the corrupt officials in the Song Huizong era, so they did not accumulate hundreds of millions of family fortunes. Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers were also buried in the Central Plains after their deaths, and did not return to their hometowns. The descendants of the Su family moved back to Sichuan in order to avoid the pickled whirlpool of Bianliang.
Su Fang is not valued by the family because she is a concubine. Because her mother was a Bianliang person, she was reluctant to leave her hometown, so she begged the housemother of the family to take Su Fang to stay in Bianliang, Tokyo. The Su family is open-minded, so they agreed. It's just that the property left behind is inevitably less, a small courtyard with a little money, Su Fang's mother and son don't even have a servant, and the mother and son depend on each other to live on their mother Zhao's private money and rent some rent in the backyard.
Su Fang was still valued by some powerful people with intentions at the beginning, but he was too talented in writing, Su Fang tried his best to be only a Chinese in his twenties, and he only got a show of talent, and then he fell off the list one after another. Immersed in hard study and unsuccessful in his studies, Su Fang was very sad, so that he looked a little old before he was thirty years old. Maybe there are also high-ranking officials and magnates who don't want to see an upright person like Su Shi and Su Zhe on the throne.
What Song Wen values is a person behind Su Fang that no one can imagine! A person with a special identity who is also feared and even hated by countless people......
Liang Shicheng!
Liang Shicheng was originally a miscellaneous servant of the Calligraphy Bureau of the eunuch Jia Xiang, "Hui Huang studied grammar and knew a little about books". Later, he was trusted by Huizong of the Song Dynasty to write an edict for the emperor, "all the imperial orders are out of his hand", and he was able to be listed as a scholar. Later, he was promoted to Jinju to observe the Heungdeok army. In the end, he was promoted to Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, Shaobao, and the official to the inspector of the school, which was secretly called "hidden phase" at the time. Wang Hao respects Liang Shicheng like a son and respects his father, and calls him "Mr. Enfu".
The current Liang Shicheng has been appointed to the school inspector! It's really in full swing, and Tong Guan is much inferior to it. But this Liang Shicheng has always claimed to be the widow of the Su family, and his mother was the protagonist of Su Dongpo's long-distance travel and concubine that was criticized by later generations......
Su Shi gave his concubine to a friend surnamed Zheng, and this concubine gave birth to a son in less than ten months! This child is none other than Liang Shicheng......
It doesn't matter if it's far-fetched, it's true. In short, after this matter was exposed by Liang Shicheng himself, it was actually acquiesced by the people of the time, and for this reason, Song Huizong even trusted Liang Shicheng even more.
When Su Zhe was still alive, Liang Shicheng even said to his housekeeper that if Xiao Su needed money, he didn't need to ask me for less than 10,000 yuan, and he could withdraw it directly! It can be seen that Liang Shicheng, whether true or not, is still full of kindness to the Su family. In addition, he has rehabilitated his so-called father Su Shi several times and made the banned Su Shi's poems see the light of day, and some literati also have a good impression of him.
All this, coupled with Liang Shicheng's city government conspiracy, made him almost completely dominate the harem of Song Huizong and Zhao Ji! For a time, the power was monstrous, and there was no other in the limelight.
Liang Shi is the hidden phase of the Great Song Dynasty! Even Cai Jingjing wants to be respectful to him, as for a villain like Wang Hao...... Then it is the father's business! In front of Liang Shicheng, he didn't even dare to straighten his waist.
Although Su Fang has no talent, the arrogance of the Su family is still there. After learning about this, his face was flushed with anger, and he vigorously reprimanded Wang Hao's minion for being bold.
Song Wen asked Lin Chong to hurry up and buy breakfast for Su Fang's mother, and by the way, under the pretext of visiting Xiao Su's widow, Mo Bao came to visit.
In the narrow study, after a brief visit to Su Fang's mother, Song Wen and Su Fang sat on a chair and talked about it, Su Fang sighed and said: "Not long after my father died, my brother escorted my mother back to Shuzhong, and the old friends of the past have no contact in the past two years!" I...... I went to Taixue and asked the teacher and classmates, this matter must not let Song Xiaoge be wronged! ”
Song Wen sighed secretly in his heart, what's the use of a few students? Complain? Complaint? The current Great Song Dynasty officialdom, who cares about this?
Song Wen sighed and shook his head: "Su Xiucai didn't know that several proprietors of the boy's Four Seas Wine Workshop were also descendants of the powerful of Jiangmen, but when they heard about it, they all retreated...... Lord Wang Huang is not an easy high-ranking official to deal with. ”
Su Fang also shook his head and sighed, thinking for a long time, there was no good way.
Inside the house, Zhao, who had been listening to the movements outside, couldn't help but speak: "The world is hot and cold, your father's old friends are all high-ranking people, and your Taixue classmates are afraid that they won't be able to help Brother Song, since Brother Song has a life-saving grace for you, why don't you go there...... Then Liang Fu asked? ”
"Huh? Mother...... This...... This...... When the mistress and brother were leaving, they explained that if life was difficult, they could go to Shuzhong for help, but they could not ask for help...... The man! ”
Su Mu Zhao seemed to be a little worried, opened the curtain and walked out. Su Fang hurriedly stepped forward to help. Su Mu looked Song Wen up and down again, and Song Wen hurriedly bowed down and saluted respectfully.
"Well, a good young man was forced to come to this point by a slave, and it really shouldn't be ...... Jiecheng, the grace of saving lives must be repaid! Let's go to Liangfu for a walk! ”
Su Fang's face turned a little red, but finally nodded.
A big stone in Song Wen's heart fell to the ground in an instant, and the matter was ...... There's a door!
Door-to-door visits can't be empty-handed, especially for students like Su Fang, whose identity is a little embarrassing, Liang Shicheng is willing to have some intersection with the descendants of the Su family, but the real descendants of the Su family have always avoided him. Without him, embarrassed.
Lin Chong accompanied Su Fang to the street to buy some gifts, while Song Wen was left by Su's mother.
Su Mu looked at Song Wen with a smile, and Song Wen, who had no reason, felt a little embarrassed...... Su Mu said in a low voice: "Regardless of whether there is a heart or a chance encounter, the old body has thanked Brother Song for his help...... To tell the truth, Fang'er has a reckless temperament, and she has not achieved much in reading over the years. But he refused to bow his head and ask his deceased husband's old friend for help. Take this opportunity to let him know the real powerful minister, and it can be regarded as borrowing the shadow of his deceased husband once in his life! ”
Song Wen's heart tightened, and he suddenly had a new understanding of this somewhat old woman...... The old woman seemed to see some clues, but she didn't break it!
Song Wen couldn't help but have a new understanding of the hearts of people in this era...... Don't underestimate anyone!
Song Wen bowed and said respectfully: "Old lady, rest assured, this kid just wants to do his best, and he will never dare to involve Su Xiu before he suffers!" But if Mrs. Liang is willing to speak, this matter will immediately disappear with the wind...... Wang Huang Wang Zhongcheng, don't dare to be malicious! ”
"With the reputation of the first husband, Fang'er is fine, but the little brother will set up an enemy who will never be offended, if Liang Shicheng speaks, Wang Hao will definitely not dare to make a mistake, but the little brother is afraid that he will be classified into the eunuch subordinates in the future! Aren't you afraid? ”
Song Wen smiled casually: "My generation of men is struggling in the market, and they know their sorrow. As long as I don't fall, I have to protect the helpless companions and dolls behind me...... As for fame, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-purifying! If a husband can't make a big career on his own, what's the use of having this reputation? ”
"There is some truth to it...... This matter depends on what Liang Shicheng does, but after that, Fang'er will not go to Liang Mansion for you again, you have to know! ”
"If you can get Master Liang to become Mrs. Liang, one sentence is enough, and the kid is not satisfied anymore, he is a faithless and unrighteous person!"
"That's ......"
At noon, Song Wen refused Su Fang's kindness to entertain Lin Chong and said goodbye, Su Fang went to Liang's mansion to hand over the post, Liang Shicheng's porter and steward did not dare to slack off when they saw this serious Sumen disciple visiting, and after the reception, he told Liang Shicheng that he was not afraid that he would have to return home from the palace at night. The housekeeper asked Su Fang to go home and wait, and if Liang Shicheng was free, he would definitely send a carriage and horse to pick up Su Fang to get together.
Lin Chong looked at the two volumes of Xiao Su's calligraphy in his arms, and asked puzzledly: "For the two characters, my brother gave thirty taels of silver...... Is it worth it? ”
Song Wen's heart blossomed! This is the real work of Su Zhe! In later generations, several plausible volumes of Xiao Su's authentic works, which one is not a sky-high national treasure? It's a pity that Su Fang only has a pair of words from his uncle Su Shi and Su Dongpo in his hand, and this kid is also regarded as a treasure and is only willing to let Song Wen take a hasty look, and Song Wen is not embarrassed to mention the purchase of the collection at all.
Lin Chong looked around and asked softly, "Brother, is this matter ...... Isn't it a little unauthentic for us to do?"
Song Wen smiled slightly: "Except for those two splashes who we found someone to fake, which of the rest of the things did we lie?" That dog official Wang Hao connived at the slaves to oppress us, but it is fiction? Is it a lie that we adopted and helped dozens of orphaned beggars? Moreover...... This Su Fang can also be regarded as a well-behaved and capable reader, in the future, I will take care of it more. ”
"Well, Mrs. Su is kind and polite, and it makes people feel close when they see it."
Song Wen smiled secretly...... Lin Chong's mind is still simple, how did he know that Old Madam Su might have already thought of letting Su Fang use Liang Shicheng's power? This time, Su Fang went to visit the Liang Mansion and pushed the boat downstream.
