Chapter 273: Fueling the Flames
Compared with other mansions, the Rongguo Mansion is not gorgeous, magnificent, and even looks a little old and shabby.
But still no one dared to despise this century-old mansion, not even such thoughts. Just as the eldest Sun Bi has been away from the court for sixteen years, no matter who mentions Rong Guogong, his expression will definitely become awe-inspiring.
And the reason why the eldest grandson Bi can gain the respect of others is not because of his family background and identity, but because of his merits.
Being able to experience 32 battles, large and small, and one defeat without compensation, has expanded the territory of the Great Cadre by one-third, and this feat alone is enough to make people awe-inspired.
What's more important is his character, even the enemies of the eldest grandson Bi are happy and convinced of him.
At present, two of the three generals of Daqian were once his subordinates, including Su Nian.
Su Nian sighed in front of Su Zhou many times: "If there was no General Changsun, there would be no current Su Nian." ”
The eldest grandson, dressed in gray, sat quietly on a stone bench, watching the sparkling waves of the water shatter the moon in the pond.
His figure was not tall, and his expression was not majestic, but in the eyes of the eldest grandson, he was like a mountain.
After a long time, the silent mountain finally spoke: "Is it your father's intention or your intention to visit the second son of Sufu?" ”
The eldest grandson immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully, "It's what the grandson meant." ”
"Why?"
"I heard that Su Shi is a very interesting person, and my grandson wants to get to know him."
The eldest grandson Bi said lightly: "I can impress my grandson, I guess this Su Gongzi has some talents, which makes me a little curious, but why didn't I go today?" ”
The eldest grandson sighed and said: "Early this morning, Su Shi was ordered by the Son of Heaven to think about it behind closed doors for three months, and this matter can only be resolved. ”
The eldest grandson Bi asked quietly: "Why did the Son of Heaven decree that Su Gongzi should think about it behind closed doors?" ”
"I think it has something to do with these rumors."
"Rumors that Su Gongzi met immortals?"
The eldest grandson's expression was slightly surprised: "It turns out that grandpa can also hear it." ”
"I don't want to listen to things outside the window, but although I am old, I can still hear clearly in my ears, and I am not old and faint in my eyes."
The eldest grandson hurriedly smiled and said: "Although grandpa is in his prime, his ears and eyes are better than in the past. ”
The eldest grandson Bi was unmoved, but said calmly: "That's why I know that when you visited Su, it wasn't just because he was a very interesting person. ”
The eldest grandson's face changed slightly, and then he barely squeezed out a smile.
"What does Grandpa mean by that? The grandson doesn't understand. ”
Changsun Bi didn't answer him, just looked at the pool in front of him. At this time, the water waves have subsided, and the pool water is like a mirror.
And the expression of the eldest grandson Bi was as calm as the pond water at this time: "Although Su Shi is young, it is not easy to impress him, if there is no bargaining chip to make him excited, Sun Er's visit this time is just a waste of effort." ”
The eldest grandson's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know how to make Su Shi's heart move?" ”
"Su Shi's personality has changed so much, if you can find out the reason for his transformation, you may be able to find a bargaining chip to impress him."
Eldest Sun Liang couldn't help but sigh: "Anyone who has heard Su Shi's name is amazed at his transformation, who doesn't want to find out the reason, but to this day I can't find any reason to explain it." Therefore, as soon as the rumors of Su Shi's encounter with immortals came out, there were seventy or eighty percent of believers. ”
"Then don't you believe your grandson?"
Eldest Sun Liang suddenly became silent, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I didn't believe it originally, but other than that, I really can't explain what happened to Su Shi. ”
Eldest Sun Bi suddenly said, "Could there be another possibility?" ”
The eldest grandson nodded slowly: "The most reasonable explanation is that Su Shi is not a genius, but for some reason he has to choose forbearance, and he has to pretend to be a gentleman." His Majesty must have thought of this possibility, so he was suspicious and put Su Shi under house arrest. ”
Then he sighed, "But this explanation is also the most unreasonable. ”
"Why?"
"Because I can't find any reason to explain why Su Shi is hiding that he is a genius, and it is even more impossible to explain why he is no longer holding back now."
Changsun Bi seemed to suddenly think of something, his originally calm face suddenly changed, and his eyes became deeper, but he had always turned his back to Changsun Liang, and Changsun Liang was also confused at this time, because he didn't find Changsun Bi's abnormality.
Although Zuo Zongyuan was trying to keep himself calm, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Zuo Xiangting was writing, and when a word was finished, he admired it carefully, and finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Congratulations to my father, today's word is like a mirror, which can be used as a family heirloom."
However, the smile on Zuo Xiangting's face gradually disappeared, and even revealed a hint of loss.
Zuo Zongyuan was a little puzzled: "This painting has reached the point of perfection, why is my father still not satisfied?" ”
Zuo Xiangting sighed: "It's not that I'm not dissatisfied, but I think that in the future, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to surpass this character and be lost." ”
After finishing speaking, he slowly put down the pen, and his expression became a little lonely.
Zuo Zongyuan hurriedly stepped forward and carefully put away the words, and then changed a cup of hot tea for Zuo Xiangting, and then said: "Now that Su Shi has lost his sacred heart and is under house arrest, then King Qi and King Zhao will definitely fight with the Qianqiu firm, do we need to do something?" ”
Zuo Xiangting shook his head: "We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "This time, when we took action against Su, we had no choice but to leave anyone to handle it. ”
Zuo Zongyuan nodded hurriedly: "Father, please rest assured, everything has been dealt with properly, and no one will doubt it." ”
But then he became a little hesitant again: "But the child has also discovered some abnormalities in the past few days. ”
Zuo Xiangting frowned slightly: "What is abnormal?" ”
"In addition to us, there are at least three other groups of people who are spreading this rumor, and even more people are adding to it, so this rumor has spread in the streets in just three days."
Zuo Xiangting thought for a while and said slowly: "King Qi and King Zhao are not mediocre, and there is no shortage of resourceful people under them, and now they have become a fire and water with Su Shi, so even if they don't spread rumors, they will definitely add fuel to the fire." ”
Zuo Zongyuan nodded slightly, but the doubts on his face were not dispelled: "In addition to King Qi and King Zhao, I always feel that there seems to be a mysterious force that is also targeting Su Shi, but I can't catch it." ”
Hearing Zuo Zongyuan's words, Zuo Xiangting fell into deep thought, always feeling that there seemed to be something abnormal in this matter, but he couldn't find anything abnormal for a while.
