"We are mother and son, so we don't need to be so polite. This time, mother came to tell you that in a few days it will be the opening day of Jin Mingchi. Many noble people in the city will go there. You are recovering from a serious illness, so you should go out for a walk.
"
"Thank you for your concern, mother." Zhao Xi'er saluted again. No matter what, it was a good thing for him to be able to go out and have some fun.
"Yes." Empress Cao stood there and accepted the thanks calmly, and then said: "It's just that your body is still recovering. For safety reasons, even if you go out, you must be accompanied by an imperial doctor. So, the general
Zhilang is the master of wonderful medicine, you can teach him to accompany you."
Zhao Xi's eyes lit up when he heard that he could ask Brother Su to accompany him. He saluted again and said, "Xi'er, thank you for your mother's concern. My son will inform Tongzhiro soon."
"Okay." Seeing that the business was finished, Queen Cao nodded and turned to leave.
From beginning to end, neither mother nor son said anything else. The conversation between them was more like a duel between a monarch and his ministers, with no trace of mother-son affection at all.
Naturally, this has a lot to do with the fact that Zhao Xi was not born to Empress Cao, but the more important point is that Empress Cao doesn't like Zhao Xi at all. This is the reason why there is no eye-catching relationship.
Due to the natural repulsion, the two of them only have the name of mother and son, but they have no real relationship with them.
...
Su Zhai can now also be called Su Mansion.
According to the law of the Song Dynasty, only those whose owners are officials can be called a mansion. Otherwise, no matter how much property they have, they can only be called a house.
Bao Heizi was really thick-skinned, and he followed Su Shi to the Su Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he shouted that he wanted to eat well, drink good wine, and taste fragrant tea.
People like Bao Heizi have no problem asking for food no matter where they go, and they will even be welcomed by many people. But in fact, he never does such a thing. He knows very well that eating
The truth about people being soft-spoken.
Only for Su Shi, Bao Heizi treated him as a nephew, and his usually wary heart naturally relaxed.
Besides, Su Shi, a fellow refugee, could greet him with meat and dishes, so if he just came here to have a meal, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
When Bao Heizi came, Su Shi resolutely treated him well, not only because they already considered him uncle and nephew, but more importantly, Su Shi respected such an upright and upright person from the bottom of his heart.
Under Su Shi's arrangement, the eight dishes are all large-sized and contain all kinds of ingredients, ensuring that they are delicacies that cannot be eaten in the world.
The burning knife was also taken out and put aside. Su Shi drank a cheese milk latte. He was still growing and would not drink more white wine unless necessary.
When the dishes arrived, the fragrance came out, which made Bao Heizi move his index finger. He didn't care whether he was a guest or not, he took the bamboo chopsticks and started tasting, and he couldn't stop eating.
The food was in his mouth, the wine was in his belly, and the degree of cooking on the knife made Bao Heizi even more satisfied, "Hahaha, you really have the most delicious food in the world, I'm in a good mood."
"Okay, if it's delicious, eat more." Su Shi chuckled at the side. He liked this feeling of being a black man and not treating himself as an outsider.
This was a real meal, at least I didn’t hear any unnecessary conversation between the two of them, only the sounds of chewing the food and smacking the lips with pleasure when the wine was taken.
After a meal, it was just a stick of incense and a little more time. There was a mess on the table. Then I saw Bao Heizi holding his slightly swollen belly, nodding with satisfaction and saying: "Okay. It smells really good. I look good."
Comparatively, what I ate before was so different from pig food."
"Uncle Bao can come and eat at any time if he wants. If not, you can call the servant to get it." Su Shi saw that Bao Heizi really liked it, so he made a promise.
"No." Unexpectedly, Bao Heizi shook his head and said, "It's precisely because it's delicious that you can't eat it every day. It's the most beautiful thing to have a meal like this once in a while. Besides, there are countless other things in the world.
The people cannot eat well, or even have enough food to eat."
This is Bao Heizi's self-discipline, and people who can usually control their desires are the foundation for great things.
Su Shi didn't try to persuade him. He could feel that Bao Heizi was a person with a very upright idea, and the things he decided could not be changed by others with just a few words.
"Okay, serve some good tea, let Uncle Bao sober up the hangover and relieve the tiredness." Su Shi didn't force it, but just let it take its course.
"Haha, okay, don't tell me, this wine is really strong, I'm going to get drunk right now." As he spoke, Bao Heizi's eyes turned blurry, as if he was really drunk.
This is because Bao Heizi didn't know how powerful the Shao Daozi was. At this moment, one person drank a jar, which was sixteen taels, a pound and a half. This was the first time I drank it, and I drank so much. I don't have a headache.
That's the weird thing.
Su Shi ordered Yue Siling to make tea, and just after a while, Lou Yang came over and said, "Master, Zhang Xi of Xiaohuangmen is here."
"Oh? Please." It was so late, and the little eunuch who was following Zhao Xi came. Su Shi had a premonition that something was wrong, so he nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xi, dressed in eunuch uniform, soon appeared in front of Su Shi. First he bent down and saluted, and then said: "Jin Mingchi will open in five days, and His Highness King Jing has invited Tongzhilang to go to the garden with him to ensure that everyone is happy."
A feeling of gratitude.”
"Jin Mingchi? Got it. Please go back to His Royal Highness King Jing, and you will definitely go there when you are introduced." Su Shi knew about Jin Mingchi. It was part of the royal garden of the Song Dynasty. All the gardens were built on water.
It can be accessed by large ships and is used as a training ground for naval forces during wartime.
Seeing that Su Shi agreed, Zhang Xi bowed again and left. But from the beginning to the end, he did not even look at Bao Heizi, who was pretending to be drunk.
Zhang Xi is the eunuch in charge of Zhao Xi. He was promoted from an ordinary father-in-law to a small yellow sect two days ago. His future prospects are limitless.
But such a person may put on airs in front of other people, but in front of Su Shi, he must be a good boy. This is the master who his master cares about, and his influence is so great and strong that he may really
If he offended him, maybe Zhao Xi would find someone to replace him.
Zhang Xi is also an ambitious and ambitious person, so he naturally knows who he can ignore and who he cannot offend.
As soon as he left, he was still sitting there with a drunken look on his face, but now he had sobered up, and his eyes were still clear. "Hehe, hehe, it's so fast."
"Oh, Uncle Bao, what did you just say?" Su Shi asked without hearing clearly.
Seeing Su Shi's clear eyes looking at him, Bao Heizi hesitated for a moment and decided to explain the powerful relationship clearly.
This was not only because Bao Heizi saw the kind-hearted side of Su Shi, nor because they were in love, but more importantly, Bao Heizi didn't want what happened back then to happen again, like the ax sound and candle shadow incident.
Today's Song Dynasty seems to be very prosperous, especially in terms of economic and cultural development. However, external troubles are also worrying. If there are any internal troubles at this time, we may not be able to afford it.
For Su Shi's personal safety and for the overall stability of the country, Bao Heizi decided to remind him something.
"Brother Shi, every spring, Jin Mingchi opens its doors, which is the so-called Jin Mingchi Garden Tour. At that time, many noble people go there, including some concubines, princes, princesses and other people from the harem.
All the ministers who hold important positions will go there to have some fun on this day."
"Oh, this is Jin Mingchi Amusement Park." Su Shi nodded, indicating that he understood.
But then Bao Heizi said in a more serious tone, "To others it's just a visit to the park, but to you, it's not."
"Huh?" Su Shi was so smart, and he immediately understood that there seemed to be a deep meaning in these words.
Seeing Su Shi's eyes that were starting to take him seriously, Bao Heizi was very satisfied. If what he wanted to teach was a madman or a daredevil who didn't care about anything, it would be meaningless.
"Brother Shi, you should know whose bloodline you have. Although it is very weak, it is there. Your identity is destined to attract special attention to everything you do. So this time Jin Mingchi
Many things may happen to you while visiting the park, have you thought about how to deal with them?"
"Coping? Uncle Bao is talking about my uncle..."
Before Su Shi could finish speaking, Bao Heizi interrupted him and said, "Yes, it's them. They are your relatives, even one of your closest relatives. How are you going to get in touch with them? You're afraid of this.
This is something that many people are very curious about. Of course, you can have your own choice, but you must be cautious and cautious, do you understand?"
Bao Heizi could only say this. After all, he didn't know what Su Shi's attitude would be towards the people in his mother's family, and he didn't want to know. Because if he did this, he would get in too deep and make a bad mistake.
, it will bring disaster to oneself.
He is not a person who is afraid of trouble, but if he falls into trouble because of these royal affairs and prevents him from having the opportunity to display his ambitions, he cannot accept it under any circumstances.
Besides, everyone's life is different. Su Shi should make his own choices instead of others making important decisions for him.
"Oh, I understand, Uncle Bao, I will be cautious." Su Shi finally understood what Bao Heizi meant. This was someone who wanted to see his own position and even ambitions through his contact with the Zhao family who had failed.
, and then decide how to treat yourself.
Test yourself?
Su Shi's mind was ready to reveal who he was, but he didn't care at all. At this time, he really didn't have many ambitions, he just wanted freedom and peace.
But now that the question is asked, he must answer it. He believes that he will give a satisfactory answer to the person observing him.
As for why it would embarrass his mother's family, or even make him unable to step down, what does it have to do with him?
