Three question marks appeared in Su Shi's mind. Then he looked at Bao Zheng's face and found that there was no crescent moon, and the other person's face was not dark, but rather rosy.
Looking at the left and right, there is no Zhan Zhao, no Gongsun Ce, and no dynasty such as Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu.
I couldn't help but said in my heart, "Sure enough, everything in the play is a lie."
"What? You don't believe me?" Seeing that Su Shi didn't answer right away, but looked around, Bao Zheng thought it was because the other party didn't believe him, so he wanted to take out the fish bag he had with him. (
"Fish bag" contains fish made of gold, silver, and copper to distinguish it from official products.)
"No, no, no! Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. I am just curious. Your Excellency only has one official accompanying you when traveling?" Of course Su Shi believed what Bao Zheng said. In this era, pretending to be an official is still at the feet of the world. That is not a good idea.
If you don't get it right, you'll be beheaded.
Moreover, there are Kaifeng government officials patrolling in the distance. Even if you are pretending to be an official, you have to pretend to be someone else, so that you won't be exposed immediately.
"One person is enough. Zhang Chao's martial arts is quite good." Hearing this, Bao Zheng explained, and then a proud smile flashed across his face.
Mr. Bao would also laugh, and Su Shi sighed in his heart. Sure enough, what he saw was real. Only by personally experiencing this period of history can we know what these real characters are like. (In fact, the prodigal son doesn't know who they are either.
In this way, I am writing based on my own impressions. One hundred people have one hundred different understandings. The following description is what Bao Gong looks like in my mind.)
Bao Zheng is so confident, presumably Zhang Chao's kung fu is not weak. Of course, Su Shi will not be serious about such things. He is even more curious about how this "Bao Heizi" appeared here. (For
For the convenience of everyone’s reading, Su Shi will call Bao Zheng Bao Heizi in private from now on)
"Master Bao, do you want to take a bath today?"
"Yes, I have a day off today, so I came here to take a look. I used to come here often when I was on duty in Kaifeng Mansion. By chance, I saw Su Shanren giving porridge to everyone, thinking that he hadn't had lunch yet.
, just when we were having a good time, unexpectedly someone saw through it."
When explaining this, Bao Heizi didn't show any intention of blushing. It was obvious that he was an informal person.
"Oh, it just so happens that I haven't had lunch either, so why don't we come together? Ling'er, go get some simple lunch." Su Shi smiled. He knew about this Bao Heizi, although he had never done anything truly meaningful in history.
Although he had never been a prime minister in the so-called Song Dynasty, he had always had a strong influence in the court. Because of his integrity, he would not bow to power easily, and his official reputation was good. Such a person was Su
The person Shi wants to make friends with.
In history, Bao Heizi once pulled Renzong's clothes to remonstrate, and even spit on Zhao Zhen's face, but he was not punished.
One was curious and the other wanted to make friends, so they sat together.
Lou Yang and the others put together a simple dining table, and then drew curtains to separate Su Shi and Bao Heizi from the other refugees.
It is impossible to say that it is complete isolation. It is more of a form to tell everyone that there are noble people here talking about things, so stay away if nothing happens.
The two of them were sitting in the middle of a simple tent, and you could see the figures of refugees walking back and forth not far away. Here, Yue Silai brought Su Shi's lunch.
Speaking of which, it is indeed quite simple, at least there are not many dishes. They are braised pork, luncheon meat, fried celery, and fried pork with hot pepper.
The food and even some finished products are taken out directly from the system. Judging from the dishes, they are mainly meat.
Su Shi is only fourteen years old. It is the time when his body is growing, and there is absolutely no shortage of meat.
As soon as the food arrived, he started eating it without ceremony. As for Bao Heizi on the side, he actually ate not much slower than Su Shi.
"Okay." Su Shi raised his head and stuffed something into his mouth, and saw Bao Heizi holding a piece of cut lunch meat without any politeness. Su Shi's eyes showed surprise.
"It tastes good, but there are some things I haven't seen before. Also, I don't know what good things you added to it, but the braised pork is too thin. It would be better if it was fatter.
.You are the same, don’t you know how to take care of the elderly’s teeth?”
Noting Su Shi's gaze, Bao Heizi not only didn't show any embarrassment, but on the contrary, he said something wrong.
In ancient times, there was little oil and water, so of course pork belly had to be eaten with fat. Unlike in later generations, fat meat was too greasy, but lean meat was more popular.
"It's good to eat some. Haha, since you like to eat, just eat more." Su Shi chuckled. He found that the sunspots on the outside were quite cute. At least they had real temperament.
If it were another official, he might not be able to devour it like this because of his status.
Su Shi ate three large bowls of rice and two large bowls of Bao Heizi. Finally, he held his bloated belly and shook his head and said, "Okay, I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore."
"Haha, you must be tired of too much oil and water." Su Shi could see clearly that the plate of braised net just now basically went into Bao Heizi's mouth. Then he smiled and said to Yue Siling:
"Bring some tea over to relieve your tiredness."
Yue Siling was used to serving Su Shi and had prepared it a long time ago. He quickly brought the freshly brewed tea and Su Shi took a nice sip. Bao Heizi also took a slow sip.
His complexion changed drastically, and then he took two, three mouthfuls...
It wasn't until Yue Siling on the side refilled the third cup of tea that he stopped talking. Even so, he still held the cup and said with a look of joy, "What kind of tea is this? It tastes great. There was nothing like it before."
Drinking."
"It will happen in the future." Su Shi replied with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Bao Heizi asked puzzledly.
"It should be available in the market tomorrow at the latest. If Mr. Bao wants to drink it, you can go to Li's shop to buy it. Oh, that's Li Yonghe." Su Shi added.
"Really? Has our Song Dynasty developed such a good tea? But why haven't you heard of it before?" Bao Heizi thought with a fixed mindset, looking curious.
Song people love tea.
If it was such a good tea, it must have spread a long time ago. At least as a fifth-grade official, he would definitely know about it. But there was no word about it at all, which made him very curious.
"This tea is not produced by us people in the Song Dynasty, it comes from outside the region." Su Shi explained.
"What?" Hearing this, Bao Heizi was obviously shocked, "There is tea in the outer lands. Is there any better tea than ours?"
"What's the matter? There are places in the outer world that are worthy of our study, and there are also prosperous places, such as the Byzantine Empire, the Khmer Empire, Baghdad, etc." Su Shi said casually.
Bao Heizi was greatly shocked when he heard these place names. He had never heard of these places, and the only foreign lands he knew were Liao, Goryeo, Xixia, Japan, Mongolia, and Tufan.
It's not clear what's going on farther away. Now that I heard Su Shi randomly saying these names from outside the world that I had never heard before, I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you familiar with the situation outside?"
"I can't talk about it, I just know a little bit about it." Su Shi still sat there and laughed.
This is not a casual talk on his part, but a deliberate display of his knowledge. For someone like Bao Heizi, it is basically impossible for you to bribe him with money.
Then you can only use knowledge.
In short, in one sentence, if Su Shi wants to make good friends with Bao Heizi, at least he will not offend him. Then it is necessary to appropriately express a certain amount of goodwill and one's own abilities.
To make friends with someone, you must not only conform to the other person and speak in accordance with the other person, but also express your attitude at the appropriate time. If necessary, it is also necessary to show your personal strength.
"People should not rest on their laurels, nor should they always regard themselves as superior. In this case, they will easily fall behind over time. You still need to be humble and learn to learn other strengths, so that you can become stronger.
"Su Shi looked at Bao Heizi and said some philosophical words.
Bao Heizi did not answer immediately, but nodded after thinking for a while and said: "Yes, people can only make progress through continuous learning."
After saying that, the two couldn't help but look at each other and burst into laughter.
Obviously, the two of them had more in common on some things. Then the two of them talked a lot. Bao Heizi also asked Su Shi what he meant by setting up this porridge shack. "You are just a sixth-grade person."
Officials are only granted by the official family and have not experienced the paperwork of the three provinces, so there is no need to create such a situation, right?"
"Oh, Master Bao, do you think this is a situation?" Su Shi became serious.
"Isn't it?" Bao Heizi asked back.
When he was in Kaifeng before, he had seen too many noble people come here to open porridge shacks, but most of them were just for a temporary interest. Others did some bad things, like them, or went to the temple.
Pray for the blessings of the invisible gods and Buddhas, or come here to open a porridge shed and do a temporary good deed.
But how many people are truly refugees?
The Song Dynasty was only founded less than a century ago, but many people had already lost their fighting spirit and began to enjoy life.
Only a few years have passed since the Tanyuan Alliance, but some people have chosen to ignore it. I really wonder what they can do if danger comes.
The current Song Dynasty is just resting on its laurels. Relying on the fact that the country was not founded for a long time and still has some foundations, it can still withstand the invasion of aliens, so it can just muddle through one by one. If this continues, there is no future.
