Chapter Twenty-Six: Conversation
Kong Wenshun was suddenly startled when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the little brother has a couplet?" ”
Su Shi said: "I do have a couplet here, although there are flaws, but it is enough to cover up the mouths of the people." ”
Kong Wenshun was surprised and delighted, surprised that Su Shi's talent seemed to be higher than he imagined, and happy that at least in this matter, Su Shi's character was already higher than many people.
But he still couldn't help but ask: "Is this true?" ”
Su Shi Zhengse said: "Lord Kong should know that at that time, I also came out of this couplet because I was in a hurry, and I never meant to embarrass the Qin Mansion, if the adults don't believe it, I can tell the adults about the next couplet now." ”
Kong Wenshun saw Su Shi's expression was solemn, and he didn't seem to be against his will, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's good that you have this heart, you don't have to tell me, if the next link spreads out to me and destroys a good marriage, isn't it a sin for me?" ”
Su Shi smiled: "I naturally believe that Master Kong will tell the truth." ”
Kong Wenshun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "At this time, this tea tastes like a little taste." ”
Then Kong Wenshun and Su Shi chatted casually. Originally, he wanted to talk to Su Shi about poetry, but Su Shi heard that he had traveled around when he was young, and he couldn't help but yearn for it, so Kong Wenshun told interesting stories about traveling to great rivers and mountains.
Su Shi was a good listener, and Kong Wenshun listened to it with relish when he spoke, and never interrupted easily. Even when commenting, it's concise and to the point. When Kong Wenshun talked about the embarrassment of his travels, Su Shi also humorously teased him.
What made Kong Wenshun talk even more interesting was that Su Shi would occasionally write a poem with him, and all the poems he made made amazed him.
The two talked happily, and before they knew it, it was getting dark, and Kong Wenshun said unsatisfactorily: "It's not too early, I should go back to the house." ”
Su Shi hurriedly said: "It's a guest at the door, why don't you have dinner before leaving, otherwise others will say that our general's mansion is not well-mannered." ”
Kong Wenshun glanced at him and said with a smile: "Are you Su Shi a person who obeys etiquette?" ”
During the casual conversation just now, although Su Shi didn't say much, Kong Wenshun still learned a little bit about his character from Su Shi's words.
Su Shi was by no means a peaceful master, and his words and deeds were very different from those of other scholars, and sometimes he even spoke amazingly, which made Kong Wenshun frightened, and if these words were spread, they would inevitably cause an uproar.
Su Shi also smiled: "If it is someone I respect, I will naturally follow the etiquette." ”
Kong Wenshun sighed: "If there is nothing to do, I will definitely disturb, but today is really unfortunate." ”
Hearing him say this, Su Shi couldn't force him to stay, so he had to say: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient to force him to stay." ”
Kong Wenshun got up to say goodbye, and Su Shi was sent all the way to the outside of the mansion, and when the carriage disappeared at the end of the street, Su Shi turned around and returned to the mansion.
Su Zhou came back late, and when he came back, Su Shi had already eaten dinner and was sitting in the study reading a book.
When Su Zhou saw Su Shi, he actually appeared in the study, and he was still holding a book and reading it with relish, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little strange.
He couldn't help but joke: "When did you like to read?" ”
Su Shi put down the book and was about to speak, when he suddenly smelled a faint smell of wine: "Drinking?" ”
Su Zhou found a chair and sat down, took a long breath of wine, and said, "Today, my colleagues got together and drank a few more glasses." ”
Su Shi couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you don't go to wash up, you know that your sister-in-law can't smell alcohol the most." ”
Su Zhou glared: "I naturally know how to wash, where to remind you." ”
"I'm just talking." After speaking, Su Shi got up and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest.
Seeing that Su Shi wanted to slip away, Su Zhou asked, "What is the reason why Master Kong came here today?" ”
Su Shi stopped, looked at him, and said, "There is nothing special for Master Kong to come over, and we just chatted a few words." ”
Su Zhou naturally didn't believe his words and motioned for him to sit down. Su Shi had no choice but to sit down again, and then recounted in detail the situation of his meeting with Kong Wenshun.
When Su Zhou learned that Su Shi actually had a downlink, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
Su Shi's couplet has spread throughout the capital, and even in the military department, Su Zhou will occasionally hear people mention it.
And he also inquired, knowing that this couplet is not easy to deal with, and even those literary masters in Beijing are at a loss for this couplet, which can be described as an absolute through the ages.
Su Shi actually hid the next link, and even Su Zhou couldn't help but be curious.
Then hearing that he was willing to send the next link to the Qin Mansion to make Qin Nan's reputation, Su Zhou couldn't help but be impressed by him, when did Su Shi also learn to think about others?
As for their subsequent chatter about their travels, Su Zhou didn't have much interest in listening to it.
Although Su Zhou was annoyed about the Qin Mansion's divorce, he did not hate the Qin Mansion, because he also knew that with Su Shi's character and talent, he was indeed not worthy of Qin Nan. So Su Shi wanted to return the marriage certificate, and he tried his best to agree.
But now it seems that Su Shi may not be worthy of Qin Nan just because he is afraid.
At this time, Su Zhou suddenly remembered Su Shi's words.
"She doesn't marry me, it can only be said that it is her loss."
Su Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly, because at that time he thought that this was just Su Shi's momentary angry words, so he didn't think so.
After Su Shi left the study, a figure appeared in the study, Su Zhou looked at him and asked, "Zhang Ao, have you been secretly guarding the second son these days?" ”
Zhang Ao replied: "Yes." ”
"Is there anything unusual today?"
Zhang Ao shook his head, but there was a strange expression on his face.
Su Zhou couldn't help frowning and asked, "What happened?" ”
Zhang Ao smiled bitterly: "There is nothing unusual around the second son today, but the behavior of the second son today is extremely strange. ”
"Su Shi? What's so quirky about him? ”
So Zhang Ao reported everything that happened to Su Zhou after Su Shi left the General's Mansion.
When Su Zhou heard Su Shi help Chen Ang's father and daughter, he nodded secretly, and then when he heard Dongyuan Reservoir, his expression suddenly became serious and solemn, and his whole body leaned forward slightly, as if he was afraid of missing a word.
When he heard Su, he actually fabricated a name of Shen Xunhuan, and he was a little ridiculous.
But in the end, when he heard that Su Shi was actually going to bet with Dongyuan Quality, Su Zhou's face suddenly turned pale, and his view of Su Shi suddenly disappeared.
At this time, Zhang Ao looked at Su Zhou Tieqing's face and said cautiously: "Don't be angry first, the second son's behavior today seems strange, but I always feel that he seems to be very confident in this gamble." ”
Su Zhou didn't speak, he fell into contemplation, and after a long time, he asked with a solemn face: "Yesterday's Flower Pavilion, today's Dongyuan Reservoir, do you say that Su Shi's appearance in these two places was intentional or unintentional?" ”
