The ox cart is still far away, but the wooden duo under the cow's neck, accompanied by the shaking of the ox's legs, makes a tara, tara sound, crisp and loud, can be heard far away.

There were no people on the riverbank, and even fewer ploughing cattle were seen, and the Su family heard the sound of Mu Duo in the courtyard and knew that the guests were coming.

Su Shi likes to go out for a walk after the morning meal, and he didn't go far, just stopped and walked on the river embankment. He would get used to looking at the dredging of the lake, and if he met people, he would happily stay and chat for a while.

In the distance, I saw a man on the river embankment. When he got closer, Li Kui saw Su Shi's appearance clearly, he was not too old, at least younger than Zhang Dan, wearing a winter robe, with a hat that the scribe liked very much, a bit like a straw hat in later generations. It has a wide brim, and you can also put on tulle to shield from the sun. But no one does this in the cold season, it's just a hat, which is fastened with a rope to the chin.

This dress was later learned by the Koreans, and for a long period of time, the gentry and doctors of the Goryeo Kingdom liked to dress up in this way.

As far as this dress is concerned, it doesn't look like an official, before getting out of the car, Li Kui instructed the coachman to drive the car into the yard to help unload the goods, but he walked straight to Su Shi. Su Shi is in much better condition than when he was drunk yesterday, not in good spirits, but at least he looks quite kind as a middle-aged and elderly man.

Li Kui stood three or four steps away in front of Su Shi, and said with a salute: "Student Li Kui pays homage to the ancestor. ”

Su Shi was holding a small grouper bamboo, brushing his beard, and nodding happily, but he could see Li Kui's appearance clearly, the sentence that had been brewing in his chest for a long time - a talent, four big characters, forced him to block his throat.

How so?

Li Kui's appearance must be nonsense to say that he is extremely ugly, and he can't even say that he is ugly, but it is a little darker. No matter how dark it is, can it be as black as Bao Zheng? When Su Shi was young, he often attended the parties held by Bao Zheng and had a deep impression of Bao Zheng's complexion.

Just how to say it? Li Kui has a big face, leopard eyes, and the hair on his face is as firm as pine needles, and he is not very dressed up, and he looks a little frizzy. It's clean, but it has nothing to do with appearance. It gives people the illusion of ferocity and brutality. If he had recruited guards in the capital back then, Gao Yu and Li Kui had come to seek it at the same time, he would probably have chosen Li Kui, and he would have increased his momentum, which was too high.

Although Su Shi's personality has changed a lot because of a big change over the years, he has not learned the ability to tell nonsense with his conscience.

Fortunately, Su Shi was quick to think about it, and temporarily changed it: "What a strong boy, how long has he been under Zhou Weixi's door, how old is it, and can he have a table?" ”

Li Kui also had no way at all, and he suddenly discovered that his ancestor and his old man also had the problem of judging people by their appearance. It seems that he has no strengths, only the merit of good health is worthy of praise.

You must know that in later schools, teachers praised parents for their lively and active students, good sports, and the like, not praise, but a tactful slap in the face. Parents listened to this, and when they went home, they basically had to prepare a mixed doubles game to completely deflat. Li Kui is also helpless, his appearance is not very pleasing, and there is no way to do it.

"Hui Yu Shizu, just turned fourteen years old, the word - Renjie. Less than half a year after entering the school. Every time he talks about his cousin, Li Kui feels embarrassed to death, which does not conform to his style at all, and it is also contrary to his appearance.

Jay!

There is nothing wrong with the words, but is it appropriate to put it on Li Kui?

Su Shi had a headache and found that his desire to have a good chat with Li Kui was annihilated.

Thinking of his wife's instructions, Su Shi changed his strategy and asked about the situation at home, of course, not to ask Li Kui, but to ask Su Shi's disciple Zhou Yuan about the situation on Jingdong East Road.

"People...... Jie, how is your teacher doing as an official in Yishui? ”

Li Kui didn't think that the teacher was bullied by the governor of Yizhou, so what was the use of suing in front of the master.

After all, he could guess with his feet that Zhang Dian's combat power was countless times that of Su Shi. Zhang Dian even scolded the Empress Dowager, and even the eunuch who was obviously the person next to the future queen said that he would kill him, and he did it himself, Su Shi was simply weak compared to him.

In terms of combat power, the two are not on the same level at all.

As for Zhou Yuan's situation, he was originally quite smooth in Yishui, but since Zhang Dian came, his teacher felt quite constrained. Originally, the main book of the county, the county was quite obedient, but after seeing Zhou Yuan being humiliated and embarrassed by Zhang Duan several times, he also began to have thoughts that he shouldn't have. Even several bookstores in the county began to be active, and Zhou Yuan's control over Yishui County was greatly reduced. Although careful thinking did not turn into a big trouble, it was enough for Zhou Yuan.

Li Kui said honestly: "The teacher came to Yishui last year, dedicated to the people, spent more than a month visiting the countryside, and knew the customs and livelihood of Yishui well. ”

Su Shi didn't doubt him, and said, "This can be regarded as an experience." The people are the foundation of the country, and the old man is very pleased that he can calm down and visit the people. ”

If Su Shi hadn't experienced the ups and downs of life, he wouldn't have experienced the suffering of the people. After all, the old Su family still had some family background, even if they were poor, they only had relatively little wealth. When Su Shi was young, the children of the Su family really didn't suffer hardship. The real hardship was the period when he was demoted to the Huangzhou regiment after suffering the catastrophe of the Wutai poetry case.

When the cow at home was so poor that he was sick, Su Shi had to hurry around.

is so poor that even he, a literary giant, has to go to the field to grow vegetables to supplement his family.

Poor enough that eating meat became a kind of happiness.

Although this period was difficult, for Su Shi, it was the most profound experience in his life.

Li Kui continued: "It's just that before the Shangyuan Festival, after the new Zhizhou Zhangdun Xianggong made things difficult for the teacher, the teacher felt quite tired physically and mentally, and he was unable to govern for the people. ”

Su Shi sounded very unpleasant, and it seemed that the people who had a relationship with him were unlucky.

And the reason for the bad luck is all because he killed him.

What is the enmity between Zhou Yuan and Zhang Dun? The two didn't even know each other before, but it was precisely because Zhou Yuan was his disciple that he held a grudge.

As for the Chapter?

Su Shi was really a little weak when he heard this person's name, Zhang Dan's personality is actually good, he has the style of being a chivalrous person, he can excel, and at the same time, he is jealous and hateful. In the Wutai poetry case back then, when the Su family thought that they were going to be beheaded all over the house, Zhang Dian stood up and said fairly.

Su Shi, who was waiting for death in the prison at that time, was stunned, because only Zhang Dian stood up alone in the Manchu Dynasty.

You must know that the crime set by the Yushitai for Su Shi at that time was to slander the government, the official family, and the law...... Countless charges were directly directed at only two people, Wang Anshi and Emperor Shenzong. And Zhang Dan's identity at that time was to participate in political affairs, and he was Wang Anshi's right-hand man in changing the law. After all, the official family is also involved, if you change your cautious eyes and misunderstand that Zhang Dian is stuck in the back, Zhang Dian will also be finished with Su Shi. It can be said that in order to say a fair word to Su Shi at that time, Zhang Dian gambled on the net worth and life of the Zhang family.

Fortunately, although Wang Anshi did not hesitate to bear the risk of having his reputation ruined in order to change the law, he was not a person who did not hesitate to commit unjust, false and wrongful cases in order to change the law. As the prime minister, he still has the bearing of being tolerant. Especially Su Shi, he also knows that Su Shi is a happy person.

Zhang Dan's words directly made Wang Anshi make a decision, and used Taizu's ancestral teachings to deal with the impact of the imperial history platform: "There is a Song Dynasty, and you will not kill the ministers and officials." Later, Shenzong dissipated his anger and released Su Shi, but the high-ranking official Houlu did not, and sent him to Huangzhou as a regimental training envoy, so that he, a literary general, would train folk warriors.

To put it bluntly, for the Su family, Zhang Dan's friendship will not be clear for a lifetime.

It stands to reason that with this relationship, the relationship between the two families will be closer. After all, Zhang Dian and Su Shi are the same year and have been close friends for many years. But they are getting farther and farther apart. After the failure of the reform, Su Shi was lucky to get amnesty. When Sima Guang entered the court, he once became the teacher of the little emperor. After that, Zhang Dian began to be unlucky as a reformer. When Zhang Dian was unlucky, Su Shi did not stand up to speak for Zhang Tun. This made the upright Zhang Dian hate Su Shi.

Of course, the friendship between them for decades will naturally not be completely wiped out because of this. As long as Su Shi explains the reason, Zhang Dian should be able to forgive Su Shi.

But from beginning to end, Zhang Dian didn't hear a word of explanation from Su Shi. He tasted betrayal angrily, or his best friend betrayed him, which made the irascible Zhang Dian even more resentful of Su Shi.

Zhou Yuan was made difficult by Zhang Duan in Yizhou, and it was completely for Su Shi.

Su Shi was a little aggrieved, he found that he and Li Kui couldn't chat at all, and if they continued to talk, I was afraid that they would have to repent for their souls. was already ashamed of Zhang Dian, so he smiled embarrassedly: "Renjie, your words are good, it seems that your teacher Zhou Weixi has great expectations for you, it is better to let the old man take the school ......."

Su Shi was completely kind, and he planned to compensate Zhou Yuan, an unlucky disciple. To test Li Kui's knowledge, and then take him with him for a good training, it can be regarded as compensating for Zhou Yuan's unlucky master and apprentice.

What are you afraid of, Li Kui is afraid that under Su Shi's full firepower, he will be so ashamed that he will have no shame to live, so he can only jump into the lake and choose one way. immediately reminded: "Master, my word is from Zhang Xianggong......"

Su Shi looked at Li Kui stupidly, he finally bypassed the demon of Zhang Kui, but he didn't expect Li Kui to be waiting for him here. I can't say I'm angry, but I suddenly didn't talk about sex, and I even broke off Li Kui's knowledge in the school, which was too frustrating.

However, Li Kui must defend himself, although the misunderstanding between Su Shi and Zhang Dian has nothing to do with him, especially because there is Su Shi's fault here. But Zhang Dian is a hostile camp after all, and if he gives him a word because Zhang Dian values him, it will also be a betrayal! In order to clarify, it is necessary to explain the cause and effect of the word. He told the story of Linyi City that day. Su Shi was completely dumbfounded, he seemed to have a feeling that he was outdated and couldn't keep up with the pace of the times.

At this time, Su Guo went out from home with a hoe and a basket, Li Kui hurriedly saluted Su Guo and asked, "Uncle Xiao, is this going to the ground?" ”

Su Guo smiled: "Go pick some fresh vegetables." ”

Li Kui volunteered: "Uncle Junior, I'll help you." ”

Su Guo felt that Li Kui was a bit like a child of a rich family, very strange, and he was also interested in picking vegetables. How did he know that Li Kui and Su Shi's chat had entered a very wonderful moment, and both of them felt extremely embarrassed.

Li Kui just took the opportunity to get out.

He helped carry the hoe down to the vegetable field, looking like he was not giving in, which made Su Guo a little funny.

Vegetables are rare in winter, but fortunately, Yingzhou is not too cold, and there are some seasonal vegetables. Spinach, wead, and canola are all the most common vegetables this season.

Turning a corner of the forest, Li Kui saw a vegetable field, and the lush vegetables in the field became more and more lovely. For Li Kui, who has eaten radishes and woad vegetables for a winter, the bright green of the small rape makes him obsessed.

Finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva, because there was no one around, and he didn't know whose vegetable patch, Li Kui was curious: "I don't know who planted this vegetable patch, why don't you let people pick it and send it?" ”

Su Guo didn't have much experience as an elder, he was only twenty years old. Especially in the name of uncle, it is natural to pretend to be uncle. But the skill of farming, Su Guo actually didn't want to say much, when he was in Huangzhou, Su Guo was also a teenager and a half-year-old, and followed his father's ass to clean up the vegetable garden. After a long time, he fell in love with growing vegetables. It is impossible to say that they like it or not, and young people are not yet able to face this hobby calmly. After all, the doctors don't do that.

There is another reason for growing vegetables, the family has not had much money, and you can eat vegetables by yourself, and when you have no money, you can subsidize the family, killing two birds with one stone.

Li Kui asked, Su Guo felt that he had to have a more high-sounding reason, he couldn't show his cowardice in front of his master and nephew, and he had a high-end reason, so he said in a deep voice: "Gentleman: Ambition is in the Tao, according to virtue, according to benevolence, and in art." These dishes are all grown by me, and although it is hard work, it is also rewarding. And growing vegetables can learn the livelihood of farmers, which is the learning of practice. ”

After Su Guo finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Li Kui, and his heart was empty.

He was only twenty years old, and he failed in last year's provincial exam, which made him silent for a while. But when it comes to growth, there is also, he has successfully accumulated the experience of failing the imperial examination. But it's hard to say how much life experience you have. said a lot of truth, but in fact, the real reason is only known to Su Guo himself - because of poverty.
