Chapter Eighty-Eight: Departure
The sun had set, the moon had not risen, and the Red Plum Pavilion was shrouded in darkness at this time.
Although Su Shi was very close to Su Zhou, he couldn't see his face clearly at this time.
Su Shi asked a little puzzled: "You are my eldest brother, you need my help to just say it directly, why do you want to do so many things?" ”
Su Zhou said lightly: "Because I want to know if you can help." ”
"Meaning this test?"
Su Zhou nodded.
Su Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why do you want to test me?" What will test me? ”
This is also the most incomprehensible thing for Su Shi, what can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, why do you want to act in such a play?
Su Zhou said slowly: "Although you have changed a lot in the past few days, almost the same as before, I wonder if this is just a flash in the pan, or do you really have the ability to take on heavy responsibilities?" ”
"Take on the heavy responsibility?" Su Shi couldn't help but ask, "What kind of responsibility?" ”
"The heavy responsibility of maintaining the General's Palace."
Su Shi said with a smile: "There is a big brother in the General's Mansion, I just need to take a shade under the tree." What's more, my shoulders are too narrow to carry heavy burdens. ”
He is very satisfied with his current life, although there are many boring times, but how many people can live such a carefree life.
Su Shi also thought that if he was tired of playing in the capital, he would travel around the world.
Daqian is very big, maybe when he comes back from a round trip, there will be not much time left in this life.
So he won't bear the burden of the General's Mansion.
"But, I'm leaving."
Mingyue finally poked his head out of the clouds, and the moonlight shone on Su Zhou's face, his expression was calm and resolute.
Looking at Su Zhou's expression, Su Shi knew that he was serious.
"Where are you going?"
"Border Pass." Su Zhou said: "My father is alone at the border, and I don't feel at ease. ”
Su Shi asked silently, "When was it decided?" ”
"Yesterday." Su Zhou explained: "When I learned the news that you won the Shijing Lake Shikui. ”
The reason why Su Zhou returned to the capital was because he wanted to discipline Su Shi, and now Su Shi's talent and ability are enough to reassure Su Zhou, and he thought that his father was alone at the border, so he moved his mind to go back.
It's just that he still wants to test Su Shi, so he has today's plan.
Through today's test, Su Zhou is even more satisfied with Su Shi, because even if he himself faces such an unexpected situation, he may not do better than him.
In addition to being smart, thoughtful, and calm, Su Zhou valued Su Shi's ability to calm down and not affect his judgment because of foreign objects.
Of course, the most important thing is that Su Shi will make money.
There are more than 100 people in the General's Mansion, large and small, and the daily expenses are not a small amount, which often gives Su Zhou a headache.
"Where's my sister-in-law?" Su Shi suddenly felt very bitter in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, after the eldest brother leaves, it is natural that the eldest sister-in-law should be in charge of the General's Mansion." ”
"She'll come with me, too." Su Zhou smiled: "What's more, you know that your sister-in-law is the most annoying about these things, so she won't take over." ”
Su Shi protested: "I'm also annoyed by these things, so I won't take it over." ”
Su Zhou said lightly: "It's okay if you don't take over." ”
Su Shi didn't show joy on his face, because he knew that there must be something to come.
As expected, Su Zhou continued: "Then you married Qin Nan over to take charge of the General's Mansion earlier. ”
Su Shi touched his nose, although Su Zhou's words were ridiculous, but for Su Shi, it may not be a method.
It's just that his wife is busy all day, and he is happy every day, Su Shi just thought about it, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"It's already decided?"
Su Zhou nodded: "It's already decided." ”
Su Shi was still a little reluctant: "Can you change it?" ”
"I can't."
Su Shi finally sighed, and then asked resentfully, "When are you leaving?" ”
Su Zhou thought for a while and said, "If it's fast, it's one month, and if it's slow, it's two months." ”
Thinking that there was only more than a month left in his free time, Su Shi's face began to look ugly, and his whole person became listless.
Su Zhou couldn't help but smile and said, "If I leave, no one will be able to control you anymore, you should be happy." ”
Su Shi couldn't help but complain: "The border pass is a bitter cold place, and my father is very old, why don't you step down from the position of general and return to the capital to recuperate?" In this way, you will not have to suffer from border passes, nor will you have to suffer from separation. ”
Su Zhou sighed: "You are childish when you say this, is this position of general that my father said that I could take off if I stepped down?" ”
Su Shi naturally knew that it was impossible, but he just complained in his heart.
Su Zhou said again: "...... from tomorrow"
As soon as he said a few words, Su Shi was already waving his hand again and again, and then interrupted him.
"You just let me play in peace for a month or two."
Su Zhou said: "If you are not familiar with it, won't I be in a hurry after I leave." ”
Su Shi glanced at Su Zhou contemptuously, and couldn't help but sigh: "The General's Mansion is not doing business, there is only so much real estate and real estate in total, and you still need to be in a hurry to manage these?" ”
Su Zhou smiled bitterly, but he couldn't refute it, because the assets of the General's Mansion were indeed not much.
"Since you are so good at doing business, why don't you plan a business for the General's Mansion to do."
Su Shi said lazily: "Let's talk about it when the General's Mansion is too poor to open the pot." ”
A gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves to shake and the shadows on the ground.
The house has been uninhabited for a long time, and it is even more desolate in the dead of night.
Su Shi also felt a hint of coolness, and couldn't help but say, "Big brother, shouldn't we go home?" ”
Su Zhou looked at him and said slowly, "Have you forgotten what I said?" ”
"You said so much today, how can I remember it all."
Su Zhou knew that this was just his excuse, so he naturally ignored him, and said to himself: "The reason why you came here is because I need your help. ”
Seeing that it was really perfunctory, Su Shi had to say helplessly: "What do you want me to help with?" ”
Su Zhou's expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes looked around cautiously.
After a long time, he said slowly, "I want you to help me find something." ”
This answer had long been expected by Su Shi, so he was not surprised, but asked with a wry smile: "What are you looking for?" ”
"I don't know."
This time Su Zhou's answer made Su Shi dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but shout: "What do you mean I don't know?" ”
"I don't know what I mean I don't know the size, shape, color, texture, or character of the thing. Maybe it's a book, maybe it's a painting, maybe it's a wooden board, maybe it's a piece of silk ......"
"Maybe it's time for us to go home and sleep." Su Shi interrupted him and said coldly.
