Chapter four hundred and eighty nine and listen

When Su Shi heard Zhao Xu's words, he didn't know what he should be feeling for for a moment.

The official ran to his mansion at night and was still wearing casual clothes, which must be because of the memorial he posted.

Is the official going to have a good talk with him or some kind of farewell?

Su Shi was sure that it was most of the latter, and he couldn't help but feel sour and smiled bitterly.

He wasted half of his life in his career, and now he is going to die.

Su Shi has many free and easy poems in West Lake, Hangzhou, but how could he really be free and unwilling? If it were true, he would not have come back.

Su Shi stood inside the door, his heart surging, and finally sighed: ‘Forget it.’

He reached out, opened the door, came out and raised his hand and saluted, "Since Su Shi, please see the official family."

Zhao Xu smiled, pressed his hand and said, "Today, I came as a student. We only talk about teachers and students, regardless of monarch and minister."

Su Shi once taught in the palace, and Zhao Xu was one of the students. It is completely reasonable to say that he was Su Shi's student.

Su Shi knew about Zhao Xu's purpose, and his face remained unmoved, saying, "Yes."

Seeing him nodding, Zhao Xu looked inside and smiled, "It seems that this is the first time I have come to my husband's house. The husband doesn't invite me to sit and have a drink. I won't hide it from me, I haven't eaten yet."

Su Shi looked at Zhao Xu, and the haze in his heart seemed to suddenly dissipate. He smiled freely and reached out to signal, "Please, please."

Zhao Xu raised his foot and walked inside. Suddenly he turned around and looked at the tangerine peel not far away, saying, "You are all waiting outside."

Chenpi was startled and hurriedly said, "Official family, no."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and stepped directly over the threshold.

Su Shi hesitated a little and could only follow Zhao Xu into the door.

Chen Pi looked worried, looked around, suddenly called an imperial guard, and whispered: "Go back to pass the message, mobilized two hundred people from the palace and deployed them around."

When Zhao Xu is traveling now, he is basically the imperial guards in the palace, not the Imperial City Department or the Qingtian Guard.

Chenpi is very uneasy. Now the government and the country are in trouble. It is really brave. In this not-so-tall Su Mansion, it is really easy to succeed!

Chen Pi was the head of the provincial eunuch and Zhao Xu's personal eunuch. With his order, the imperial guards quickly dispatched people and surrounded the Su Mansion quietly. I don't know how many people's heads flashed at the Su Mansion's city, and some even sneaked in quietly, monitoring the Su Mansion's movements and secretly protecting Zhao Xu.

Su Shi led the school to find a school and met some of the Su family. Then the two sat down in a pavilion.

Wang Chaoyun was serving him, warming the wine and looking at Zhao Xu without saying a word.

She didn't know "Zhao Zhong", but it was obvious that her family leader did have such a disciple. She had been with Su Shi and didn't even know at all.

Zhao Xu ate slowly, drank wine, and talked with Su Shi about "Flowers, Snow and Moon".

Zhao Xu was still chewing on the vegetables, but he kept saying, "If you talk about scenic spots, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the first to be a member of the article; if you talk about the prosperity of the article, Jiangnan is the best; if you talk about beauty, Jiangnan is as gentle as water, and has good looks..."

Wang Chaoyun frowned. The young man looked pretty and spoke like those dandy dandy, vulgar and superficial.

Su Shi did not take it to heart at all because he knew very well that the official family in front of him was not lustful at all. There were only four or five women in the palace so far. The harem and the court had proposed to "select concubines", which was quietly resolved by this person.

Su Shi seemed to recall the years in Jiangnan and said with a smile: "The scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou is the first to be called West Lake. There are lotus and snow in summer and boating on the lake in spring and autumn is uniquely elegant. The popularity of Suzhou and Hangzhou style is indeed the first in my Song Dynasty, followed by Tianfu. This beauty, official... Young Master, in fact, I think it is the same as the exquisite West Lake, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each with its charm..."

Wang Chaoyun blinked, a little confused.

She was puzzled by Su Shi that he actually agreed with the young man and said "superficial words". Moreover, Su Shi's attitude was a bit strange, not like a teacher and student, but it was very wrong.

Wang Chaoyun didn't say anything, but continued to warm the wine and poured it on the two of them.

Every time she pours wine, Zhao Xu nods to express his gratitude.

Wang Chaoyun curled his lips in his heart: No matter how vulgar and obscene the children of aristocratic families are, they can be easily dressed up. No wonder they can deceive so many girls.

Seeing Su Shi slowly becoming a little natural, Zhao Xu looked to the south and said, "Mr. I have always thought that I can go to Jiangnan to take a look. It is best to live for a while, walk around carefully, and take a look at it carefully. There are too many things they said. I can't even imagine what they are doing..."

Su Shi held the wine glass, his face calmly without saying anything.

He could understand Zhao Xu, as an official in the Song Dynasty, his every move was too involved. The official in front of him had never left the palace before except for the imperial commander's personal expedition this time.

This official’s impression of West Lake and Jiangnan should be just the appearance of those articles and poems.

Even, he should have never seen the real lake or the real boat before, let alone rafting the West Lake.

Zhao Xu glanced at Wang Chaoyun. Seeing that the time was almost right, he took out the memorial from Liu Cheng, handed it to Su Shi, and said, "Sir, take a look."

Su Shi's eyes suddenly froze, and he didn't answer. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have decided, so I don't have to persuade you anymore."

Zhao Xu was stunned and then said, "No, look at this first."

Su Shi seemed to have some sudden realization, and quickly reached out to take it and opened it to look.

Wang Chaoyun observed calmly and felt that this was a problem for teachers and students, but there was no unnecessary action.

Su Shi looked at Liu Cheng's memorial, and after just a few glances, he could guess everything. After reading it quickly, he looked up at Zhao Xu and said, "Nothing."

Zhao Xu took a sip of wine and said, "Isn't it nonsense? Just like this, I have to read more than a dozen words every day, and it accumulates in a month, at least hundreds of them, which are fake. I almost think it's true. I'm not afraid of Mr. Zhang's jokes. On several occasions, I have paid attention to Mr. Zhang to see if he has three hands and whether there is a backbone behind his head. I even specially found a book about facial appearance and studied it for a while."

Instead of laughing, Su Shi frowned and said, "What is fake is fake, and it is fake to say ten thousand times. For such things, it is better for the official... the young master to take less attention."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "These are indeed fake, but if you see too much, you will inevitably become suspicious. If you put aside these false ones that can distinguish between the others, and those that are true and false, it is probably difficult for you to distinguish between the true and false. I have never left my house, seen the world, have little understanding of the sinister people's hearts, and have been detained in this imperial city. How many people can I distinguish between them? Over time, will I shake the truth and make wrong judgments about some people and some things? If I make a wrong judgment, how much will it have on these people and things?"

Su Shi was stunned. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhao Xu's words.

Is this a 'learning' him? Is his memorial being false, and he is attacking the 'new law'?

Su Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master, there is a way of saying 'If you listen to both sides, you will be clear; if you believe in partiality, you will be dark'. If you cannot believe in one-sided words in everything, you must make more proofs to make judgments."

Zhao Xu nodded, took out Su Shi's memorial from his arms, put it in front of Su Shi, and said, "So, sir, can't leave."
