Chapter 403: Drinking Alone Under the Moon
Since Zhou Jin left, Su Shi had been sitting quietly on the chair until nightfall, when he slowly got up and walked outside.
"Brother Lin."
As soon as his voice fell, Lin Mo appeared in front of him like his shadow.
"What do you command?"
Su Shi looked at the rising bright moon for a while, and then looked at Lin Mo calmly: "Do you know Lord Kong's mansion?" ”
"Yes."
"Master Kong has been to the mansion a few times, but I haven't been to the Confucian mansion yet, it's really rude." Su Shi instructed, "Today the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and it is suitable for visiting friends." Bring two jugs of wine, I'm going to visit Master Kong. ”
At this time, although the bright moon has risen, the weather is still extremely hot and dry, and it is by no means the moon and wind in the mouth of the son, and it is not suitable for visiting relatives and friends.
But Lin Mo knew that Gongzi had always been casual, so he didn't ask too much, and went to prepare after answering.
When Su Shi walked out of the General's Mansion, Lin Mo was already waiting there. Su Shi boarded the carriage, and Lin Mo's horse whip was raised, making a clear sound.
With this clear sound, the carriage moved slowly.
The carriage passed through the Dongqi Gate, and Su Shi looked through the door opening, looking at the Yudai River flowing quietly in the moonlight, and his heart suddenly rose with infinite emotion.
On the sixth day of the first month of March, if he hadn't come to the Yudai River on a whim, he would not have met Kong Wenshun and Qin Nan. If you hadn't come to the Yudai River, you wouldn't have felt the peach blossoms because you saw them, and chanted the peach blossom poem.
If none of this had happened, would his fate have gone the other way?
The Jade Belt River flashed by, but Su Shi's mind drifted farther and farther away.
When Su Shi was still sighing, the carriage had stopped, and then Lin Mo's voice came from his ears: "Childe, the Confucian Mansion has arrived." ”
Su Shi sat quietly in the carriage for a while, and finally opened the door and stepped out of the carriage.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, a gray-haired man over fifty years of age walked briskly towards him. When he came to Su Shi, the old man bowed respectfully.
"It's Su Gongzi?"
Su Shi smiled slightly: "You know me?" ”
The old man shook his head: "The old slave is the first time to see Su Gongzi, but the head of the family has instructed that Su Gongzi will definitely come to visit today, so the old slave will have this question." ”
Su Shi was stunned: "Master Kong knows that I am coming?" ”
"The head of the family has prepared wine and food in the garden, and I also asked Mr. Su to come with me."
Su Shi did not shirk: "Then there is Lao Lao's family." ”
The old man led the way in front, Su Shi and Lin Mo followed, and after a while, they came to the Confucian Garden.
In the silence, the whole garden became extremely quiet, and even the heat wave seemed to be isolated from the garden.
Under the moonlight, deep in the garden, next to the stone table, Kong Wenshun was drinking alone.
After stepping into the garden, everyone seemed unwilling to destroy this tranquility, so no one spoke, and Su Shi didn't have any thoughts, just looked at Kong Wenshun's back with complicated eyes.
The old man walked very slowly, and Su Shi was not in a hurry. It's just that no matter how slow they go, this road will eventually be over.
Coming to the depths of the garden, Su Shi walked in front of Kong Wenshun.
"Su Shi has seen Master Kong."
There were several small dishes on the table, two pairs of dishes and chopsticks and two wine glasses, but one of the wine glasses was now in Kong Wenshun's hand.
Kong Wenshun put down the wine glass, and his face showed a slight apology: "I wanted to wait for the little brother to drink together, but the wine is currently a little less patient." ”
Su Shi sat down and said with a smile: "Two people have the interest of drinking together, and one person has its interest in drinking alone." Brother Kong doesn't have to mind. ”
At this time, the old man had already retreated, and Lin Mo also left with the old man after putting down the two pots of wine, leaving only Kong Wenshun and Su Shi in the entire garden.
Su Shi picked up the wine glass and saluted Kong Wenshun: "This glass of wine is for my brother." ”
Kong Wenshun didn't speak, nor did he shirk, his head tilted slightly, and the wine had already entered his throat.
Su Shi didn't drink slower than him, and when Kong Wenshun put down the wine glass, Su Shi had already picked up the wine jug and poured wine for him.
After pouring the wine, Su Shi suddenly said, "Brother seems to expect me to come today?" ”
Kong Wenshun was silent for a while, and slowly looked up at Su Shi: "After we talked that night, have you already guessed my identity?" ”
Su Shi replied without the slightest hesitation: "Yes." ”
Kong Wenshun smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "As the saying goes, if you say too much, you will lose, and the ancients did not deceive me." ”
Then he raised his glass and asked, "You haven't exposed me, have you been waiting?" ”
Su Shiyi raised his wine glass, and after drinking it in one gulp, he nodded lightly.
"I'd love to know what the hell is Project Horror?"
"Did you disappoint you?" Kong Wenshun asked very seriously.
"It's not disappointing." Su Shi muttered, "Actually, the Horror Project is really bizarre and weird, I believe that in a few hundred years, no one will be able to crack this plan, because it is beyond people's understanding." ”
"But all this is nothing more than child's stuff in your eyes."
Su Shi did not deny it, he said silently: "After all, I am different from others. ”
Kong Wenshun couldn't help but sigh: "Little brother is indeed different from everyone in this world. That's why I know that once the horror plan is implemented, the little brother will definitely come to the door. ”
Su Shi got up and poured wine again for Kong Wenshun, and then fell silent.
Kong Wenshun didn't urge, and drank by himself.
After the wine in the glass was exhausted, Su Shi sighed: "I came to visit my brother this time, not for the horror plan. ”
Kong Wenshun didn't seem surprised: "Why did the little brother come?" ”
Su Shi didn't answer him directly, and slowly explained: "The Horror Project is actually not a child's thing, if it weren't for my reminder, I believe this plan would really make Your Majesty feel frightened and scared." It's just that since His Majesty already knows that this is just Pei Hyun's means, even if His Majesty can't explain these visions, their effects will be greatly reduced. ”
"Since Pei Hyun knows that I have the ability to expose the methods he used, I still have to implement this plan, because the real purpose of this plan is to make His Majesty and the prince suspicious of each other."
Kong Wenshun said lightly: "Isn't there a frightening plan, they won't be suspicious of each other?" After all, there is only one supreme position. ”
Su Shi was silent for a while, and then took a drink from the wine glass.
"Actually, the Horror Project is just an introduction, and I believe that the next plan is the key."
Kong Wenshun said calmly: "Could it be that the little brother came to want to know other plans this time?" ”
Su Shi shook his head again.
Kong Wenshun was slightly surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What is the reason why the little brother came here this time?" ”
"I want to persuade you to stop." Su Shizheng said, "Because Bae Hyun's purpose is not as good as he said at all." ”
Kong Wenshun was noncommittal, picked up the wine glass, and asked slowly, "Why does the little brother have this judgment?" ”
