Chapter 4 Life Experience
Su Shi had already figured out that his father, Su Feiyang, was once the number one person in the rivers and lakes, and he was nicknamed Yijian from the West.
In the Great Song Dynasty, it is a common thing for people in the rivers and lakes to have nicknames, just like the one hundred and eight heroes in the Water Margin, which one of them has a loud nickname?
Although Su Shi had never seen it, he had heard that Su Feiyang's kung fu was very powerful, otherwise there would not be so many people coming to him.
In addition, Su Feiyang originally had a good background and inherited a large piece of land, which made him famous in the entire Yingchang Mansion.
As for her mother Zhao Fei'er, her background is even more powerful.
Su Shi had already understood that his maternal grandfather was Zhao Weineng, the grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
His wife is Zhao Defang, the Eight Sages King recorded in history.
In other words, Su Shi also has royal blood, and he can be regarded as a descendant of the Zhao family, at least a relative of the Zhao family.
It's a pity that after the sound of the candle shadow axe, Zhao Guangyi, as the younger brother of Taizu, gained the country, and his mother, a person in the lineage, began to wander outside the imperial power.
Not only that, but they have also become the people who need the embankment the most in the current emperor's line.
Su Shi has heard her mother say more than once that her mother's family is now only enjoying some treatment from the royal family, but she does not have any real power.
When it comes to Su Shi, what needs to be explained is that the marriage between his mother Zhao Feier and his father Su Feiyang was not recognized by his mother's family, in other words, their marriage was private.
This made the Su family's situation even worse.
As far as Su Shi knew, outside Qianqizhuang, there were secret agents of the secret spy department who were watching their every move.
It has also made Qianqizhuang's life worse than one day in the past ten years.
Even the marriage of his parents has not been recognized by Zhao Weineng's family, let alone Su Shi. Anyway, in the past thirteen years, he has not seen a visit from the Zhao family, let alone his uncles, which also makes him lack that sense of identity with the people of his mother's family in his heart.
Lou Yang pushed Su Shi through the middle courtyard, came to the front yard, and arrived in front of a rockery.
It was late autumn, and there were a lot of fallen leaves in the courtyard, giving people a somewhat depressed feeling.
Su Feiyang and Zhao Fei'er were sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard and saying something, and when they noticed Su Shi appearing, the two of them quickly burst into laughter on their faces that seemed to be a little melancholy.
On the cloudy and sunny faces, the two of them shouted in unison, "Brother Shi." ”
"Brother Shi, why did you come out, now that the weather is slowly getting cold, your body is thin, so you should stay in the room more."
Zhao Fei'er opened her mouth first, got up from the stone bench, came to Su Shi who was sitting on the wooden chair, and touched his head lovingly.
In ancient times, a thirteen-year-old boy was no longer young.
Some have already begun to support their families at this age, and some have begun to marry wives at this age and have taken on more obligations.
Due to physical reasons, Su Shi naturally has no burden. Some just get the love of their fathers and mothers.
"Mother, the weather outside is fine now, Shi'er should go out for a walk more and bask in the sun." Su Shi smiled, for this woman who had taken care of him for thirteen years, he had already regarded her as a mother in his heart.
"Even if there is the sun, you have to pay attention, Brother Shi'er's body has never been very good. Lou Yang, you must pay more attention, you can't let the young master come here. When Su Feiyang stepped forward and looked at Su Shi, he naturally used an extremely kind look, but when he looked at Lou Yang, his tone was somewhat stern.
This is not to say that Su Feiyang is harsh on his subordinates, but in the past thirteen years, Su Shi's health has been very bad, especially when it comes to the change of seasons, he is often sick.
"Dad, it's okay, I asked Lou Yang to push me out." Su Shi said with a smile on his face. Then he looked closely at the top of his parents' heads, but to his disappointment, there was a purple patch on his head, indicating that they would not provide the power of their faith.
Come to think of it, I am such a sick man, I need to be taken care of from birth, where can I get the trust and worship of others?
Perhaps only a person like Lou Yang knows that it is because of Su Shi's existence that he has the value of existence, so he is convinced of his young master.
"Okay, let's go back when the sun is about to set." Su Feiyang's eyes were full of concern.
"Okay." Su Shi nodded, and then said to Lou Yang behind him, "Let's go, let's go to other places." ”
Su Shi left, looking at the back of his departure, Su Feiyang sighed.
"Official, don't worry, Brother Shi is kind-hearted, good people will be rewarded." Zhao Fei'er didn't know what her husband was thinking, so she was relieved.
"Yes, good people will be rewarded, and Brother Shi will definitely get better slowly. Lady, you don't have to worry too much. Su Feiyang, as a manly husband, said with a smile on his face, but left all the bitterness in his heart.
"Official, it's all Fei'er's bad, and it's hurt you and Brother Shi." How can you not see that this is her husband's words of relief, Zhao Fei'er whispered.
"Lady can't talk nonsense, the day I married you, I was ready to face any difficulties, hehe, all this is nothing at the moment. As long as we are a family of three, we are not afraid of anything. Su Feiyang stretched out his hand and gently took Zhao Fei'er in his arms, and his eyes seemed to be much firmer.
Su Shi on the other side has already gone to another yard when he is. But whenever the people in the courtyard saw him, they saluted from afar, and after calling the young master, they did what they should do.
Su Shi observed very carefully and found that most people's heads were purple on top of their heads, which showed that most people lacked a sense of identity with themselves, just because of the difference in status, so they called themselves young masters out of face.
Of course, he also noticed that when a few people looked at him, their heads were blue.
Needless to say, these people hate themselves in their hearts, maybe they think in their hearts that they have nowhere to go, just a drag bottle.
Lou Yang pushed Su Shi unconsciously to a pond, which is also where Su Shi often comes. It seems that when he sees this pool of water, he will be in a better mood.
Next to the pond, when there were only the two of them, Su Shi spoke, "Louyang, is there something going on in Zhuangzi?" ”
"Young master, the villain has heard about it." Lou Yang, who was pushing him behind him, paused.
"Say whatever you hear, don't worry, the young master will keep it secret for you." Su Shi was a Geden in his heart, and he seemed to have a premonition of something.
Su Shi's personal observation is very strong, he used to be very fond of magic, and he knows that this thing is about quick eyes, especially observation that ordinary people can compare.
It's just that now he is almost a wasted person, and others won't say anything in front of him, and it is even more difficult for him to know what is going on in the village.
Even if it is about his true identity, the descendants of the Zhao family. It's still what my parents said privately when I was a child.
At that time, Su Shi was less than a year old, and Su Feiyang and Zhao Fei'er didn't hide anything from him, thinking that he didn't understand at all, but they didn't know what kind of brain this little adult had.
"Yes." Lou Yang knew that Su Shi was his sky.
It is precisely because Su Shi needs someone to take care of him that he can stay in Zhuangzi and have his own place to live.
For Su Shi, Lou Yang is naturally very convinced. He hesitated for a moment and told him what he had heard from the mouths of others.
Qianqizhuang's income mainly comes from two aspects.
First, the land of the Su family.
Su Feiyang, who inherited the family inheritance, has thousands of acres of fertile land. These outputs alone are enough for the people in the Zhuangzi to eat and drink.
Second, the income of the knife catcher.
The so-called knife catchers refer to those heroes in Zhuangzi who helped the government arrest some Jiangyang thieves or people who did bad things. Then the government will give them a certain amount of money reward.
Speaking of which, the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts.
The status of martial artists in society is very low, even above the court, and military generals are often looked down upon by civil officials whose grades are inferior to them.
The low status of the warriors made it rare for true heroes to enter the military camp or enter the government as an errand boy. This led to the rise of the knife catcher industry.
The government used these people to deal with the wicked people in the rivers and lakes, so as to solve some cases. Of course, all knife catchers are registered and re-registered, and you can't do it with some skill.
There is no shortage of heroes in Qianqizhuang.
In particular, Su Feiyang's reputation is far-reaching, and he is bold, but those who follow him never hesitate to reward, which makes a lot of people who defected to him in the past few years.
What Jianghu people like is to eat meat and drink wine, which is a happy life.
But all this has changed because of the invisible suppression in the past two years.
First of all, the young Yin Shenguan who was replaced by Yingchang Mansion seemed to have something to do with Zhao Fei'er's mother's family, and began to deliberately suppress Qianqizhuang, and some of the knife-catchers did not hand over their business to do.
Not only that, but the government also deliberately increased the collection of agricultural taxes on the Su family, which has the intention of crushing the Su family.
This is all because Zhao Fei'er did not marry other families according to the family's wishes, but married a Jianghu man, a small landlord. This once made Zhao Fei'er's mother's family ashamed, and it became a joke in the mouths of the nobles in Bianliang City.
Under the suppression of the government, the days of Qianqizhuang are not as good as day by day. Originally, Su Feiyang still had some family background, but over the years, in order to treat Su Shi's illness, the amount of silver consumed every year was an astronomical amount, and over time, the family foundation was gradually hollowed out.
According to what Lou Yang said, a while ago, people from the rivers and lakes left Qianqizhuang. Although the number is not very large, it is a bad omen.
