Chapter 2 Meet Zhao Ji Again

In seven years, Gao Qiu has grown into a young man, and Hua Xiangrong is graceful and graceful. Zhang Qian and Wu Song are also thirty years old and are becoming more and more majestic.

那个高俅的‘雇主’,后来也公布的身份,乃是已故蜀国大长公主的夫君,驸马都尉王诜.换而言之,他也是赵佶和赵玉儿的亲姑父.正是因为有苏轼和赵佶,赵玉儿这多方面的因素,王诜才会果断地帮助高俅.

But to be honest, the so-called copying and writing work here is really free and idle. Even if the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom had passed away, Wang Shi was given the title of Prince Consort and Chief, so he basically had no official business. He only had special occasions such as routine court meetings. What Gao Qiu did on weekdays was more about accompanying Wang Shi to recite poems and answering correctly.

On January 30th, the third year of Yuanfu.

On this day, Gao Qiu packed up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the study, and walked out of the study and headed to the back garden of the Prince-Confucian Mansion. It was a good time when winter and spring came and all things were revived. There were a few suns in the back garden, which was really a rare enjoyment for Gao Qiu.

Many of the servants in the Prince Consort's Mansion have been around for less than Gao Qiu's time, so they are unobstructed along the way.

When I came to the back garden, I looked from a distance and saw two people sitting on the pavilion in the center of Houyuan Lake. One of them was the son-in-law Wang Shi. This Gao Qiu would not admit his mistake. The other one looked familiar when he opened it, but Gao Qiu couldn't remember who it was.

Standing on the shore, Gao Qiu was still wondering who this familiar person was. Wang Shi had already discovered Gao Qiu in the pavilion, raised the wine glass in his hand, and shouted: "Hey! Ji Min! Come and have a drink together!"

Ji Min, this was the letter to Gao Qiuqi in the fifth year after Su Shi left, written to Gao Qiu on the road to demotion.

"Go! I know I don't drink, but I still tease me like this!" Gao Qiu muttered, raised his legs and walked up the slightly narrow stone road. While walking towards the pavilion, he shouted loudly: "Come on, wait for me!"

With Gao Qiu's voice, the man sitting opposite Wang Shu also turned around to look at him.

Because the stone road is indeed not wide, and there are often lake water hitting it, Gao Qiu should always pay attention to his feet when he walks, otherwise he will be sad if he falls into the water.

When he arrived in the pavilion and saw the person opposite Wang Shi, Gao Qiu was stunned.

"You are... Zhao Ji?"

Gao Qiu looked in disbelief. Although the other party had grown up, he had a deep impression and could not forget it.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Zhao Ji stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion in two steps, came to Gao Qiu, and said coldly: "Do you still remember me, Zhao Ji! Where have you been going for so many years? Do you know that Yu'er is thinking about you all the time, but you have never sent someone to send a letter to you. What are you thinking about writing in your mind!"

"This...it's a long time to say!"

Facing Zhao Ji's questioning, Gao Qiu was also helpless.

Su Shi was demoted and left in a hurry. Even Gao Qiu, if it were not for Wang Shi's help, might have stayed in a mass grave outside the city. After all, money is spent on all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Gao Qiu was seriously injured and had to take medicine frequently. It was really not enough to be close to the court's 20 taels of silver every month. If he had an official position, Gao Qiu could still have some public money, that is, entertainment expenses, but Gao Qiu only had a name, and had no actual official position, which was worse than Wang Shi.

Zhao Ji, Zhao Yuer and others have not reached their age, so even if there is a royal palace outside the palace, they still live in the palace. Even if Gao Qiu wants to see Zhao Ji and Zhao Yuer, how can he enter the palace? Besides, Zhao Ji and Zhao Yuer have been out of the palace less and less over the years, and Gao Qiu doesn't know anyone, so it is difficult to find someone to help spread the news. At the beginning, Gao Qiu would still think about finding Zhao Ji, but over time, his thoughts on this dissipation gradually faded.

After hearing Gao Qiu's explanation, Zhao Ji frowned, stretched his eyebrows and shook his head again, and said helplessly: "I have heard of the two Grand Secretarys of the Su family back then, but I am just an idle prince after all. Even if I can speak in front of the emperor's brother, I can't interrupt many things, otherwise, no matter what I said at that time, the two Grand Secretarys would be demoted."

"Hey! I said today that I was here to drink, why did you talk about the court again? Come on, come on, come on, sit down, sit down!"

Seeing Gao Qiu and Zhao Ji talking more and more sad, Wang Shi quickly interrupted the two of them to reminisce about the past, then stood up and greeted them.

Hearing his uncle's words, Zhao Ji realized this and pulled Gao Qiu to sit next to the table, "Yes, yes! Come on, sit! sit!"

"Okay! OK! If you pull my clothes, it will be broken. How can I go out then?"

After resolving the misunderstanding, Gao Qiu naturally felt much more relaxed, and he still had the leisure to make jokes with Zhao Ji.

"I look a little worn in your clothes? I already know the reason why you didn't look for us, but how did you come here over the years? Also, how did you appear in the mansion of the prince consort? Could it be that you were invited by him?"

After looking up and down at Gao Qiu's simple outfit, Zhao Ji felt very curious. After all, such a coincidental encounter was rare even in the Romance of the Book.

"This! Ji Min has a salary of twenty stags every month. You know this, but the money is not enough for them to eat, so I asked him to help me with some copying and writing. He would also help me if he wrote a poem on his drawing on a daily basis."

Seeing that Zhao Ji talked about this matter, Wang Shen did not hesitate at all and directly raised his mind to explain.

Gao Qiu was also busy all morning. Although he didn't have much work, he didn't eat in the morning and was a little hungry now. Seeing Wang Shen helping him explain, he took Zhao Ji's chopsticks and started to eat.

"That's right! I said, "The Prince-in-law, you have shown me the calligraphy and paintings. The calligraphy and paintings you have shown me in the past two years are written very well. It turns out that they were written by someone else. No wonder they are like this!" Zhao Ji felt a sudden realization when he solved the mystery that had been bothering him. However, after the corner of his eyes, he caught Gao Qiu using his chopsticks and immediately became unhappy. "Hey, hey! I said you, Ji... Jimin? Your handwriting is really interesting. I said, why are you using my chopsticks? Can't you get a pair?"

"My surname is Gao, my name is Ji Min. Ji is Ji, who is Bo Zhongshu Ji, and Min is the Min of General Pei Min." After explaining his words, Gao Qiu looked indifferent and raised the chopsticks in his hand, "What's wrong with using your chopsticks? I don't dislike you."

"You really... haven't changed at all."

When facing Gao Qiu playing a scoundrel, Zhao Ji had no choice but to do anything.

"Change? Why do I change? By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here today?"

Gao Qiu was an adult before traveling through time in his previous life. His thoughts and forms have been complete, and changing things are really not an easy task.

"I'm here today? By the way, I forgot if you don't say it. The prince-consin saw a woman with a talented and learned, and specially invited me out. How about it? Are you interested in going to have a look together?"

Zhao Ji winked at Gao Qiu, and he looked like a playboy from an ordinary wealthy family.

"You really, can you not have any serious things to do? You are eighteen years old this year, and you should do some serious things, right?"

According to history, Zhao Ji will eventually ascend the throne and sit in the palace. With the current relationship between Gao Qiu and Zhao Ji and his performance as a boy, it is not difficult to find a job with a single official position, so it is really important to teach Zhao Ji to develop in a better way.

"Serious things? I'm just an idle prince! What serious things can I do? Gao Qiu, you have taken the wrong medicine before your injury has recovered, right?"

Zhao Ji is very clear about his positioning.

"It's true that the injury has not healed yet, but you took the wrong medicine... you took the wrong medicine!" At first, Gao Qiu was still explaining seriously, but after half of the explanation, he understood and refuted, "I know that the emperor is seriously ill now and the emperor has no descendants. If something really happens, you are likely to be in the position you dream of. Would you do nothing now?"

"Dreams? What does this mean?"

Wang Shi didn't know that Zhao Ji and Gao Qiu knew each other, so naturally they didn't know what happened between them. When he heard this, he immediately became energetic.

However, Zhao Ji didn't seem to have much interest, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, what do you do when you were ignorant when you were young? That position is so good? Think about it, from my grandfather to my father, there is no one who lives long? In addition, my brother, now the emperor, is another seriously ill. That position is not easy to sit in!"

"Ahem! Duan Qiansui, you can't say this nonsense!"

Wang Shi, who was beside him, heard Zhao Ji say this, quickly coughed twice, interrupted Zhao Ji's words, and reminded him.

"Hey! Isn't this just a saying? By the way, Gao Qiu, I remembered that you said this. The Empress Dowager sent some official documents to me for me to give instructions. This is really troublesome. Prince Consort, discuss something with you."

Zhao Ji picked up the wine glass and took a sip, suddenly remembered his own affairs, and then looked at Wang Sheng on the side.

"King Duan Qiansui, please tell me if you have something to do."

Although he is Zhao Ji's uncle, Wang Shi still has to deal with the current situation carefully.

"Well! Then what, look at Gao Qiu and I are so familiar with each other. I want to ask him to go to my place to help me. What do you think?"
