"You mean to find someone with commanding abilities, right?" Pang Ji, who heard what he meant clearly, spoke as if he suddenly understood.
"That's right." Su Shi nodded heavily and said, "Brother Pang Pang, this person must have commanding skills. As for the rest, it doesn't matter."
"Does it not matter in other aspects?" With this reminder, Pang Ji immediately thought of someone.
Su Shi saw the change in Pang Ji, and he asked curiously, "Brother Pang Pang has someone chosen?"
"Well, let alone such a person, he has outstanding abilities, especially his commanding ability. Even Di Hanchen, the governor of Qinzhou, the deputy general manager of Jingyuan Road, and the most capable fighter in the Western Army, also praised him.
You are good."
"Di Hanchen? Di Qing?" Su Shi's breathing became a little heavier at this moment.
"Yes, it's Di Qing. How come Brother Su knows him?" Pang Ji asked curiously.
At this time, Di Qing was not as famous as he would be in later generations, but he was quite famous among the Western Army.
Su Shi has lived in Qianqizhuang since he was a child. Even now that he has entered the capital, it has only been more than a month. The fact that he knows Di Qing naturally makes Pang Ji a little strange.
"Oh, I heard it from others. By the way, Brother Pang said that even Di Qing admires this person very much. So who is he? Where is he now?"
Su Shi's interruption successfully diverted Pang Ji's attention, "He is in the capital now. The situation is like this..."
After a while, Pang Ji told Su Shi about the deeds of this person called Zhu Ji. (Zhu Ji is the name of the character at the request of book friend Ji Ping'an. He is not a soy sauce person, but he can also be regarded as one of the main supporting characters.
)
"The thing is like this. This Zhu Ji is in the capital now, but he has been removed from the Western Army, and he is also guilty of a crime and has to be exiled thousands of miles away. But this person's ability is really impressive, if you like it
, then we have to start early.”
Pang Ji said with a sigh. It can be seen from his attitude that he also admires Zhu Ji very much, but it is a pity that military law is ruthless. Even if Zhu Ji has his own difficulties, military law is military law and will not
Because of this and that problem, mercy can be granted outside the law.
Su Shi was very moved when he heard what happened to Zhu Ji. After learning that this man had to become a deserter because he wanted to fulfill his filial piety and was unable to take leave, and was eventually expelled from the army, Su Shi felt compassion for him.
people.
As long as a person has a filial heart and values filial piety, even if he is bad, he will not be too bad. Not to mention, he has been a man who has made many military exploits before.
It's a pity that ten merits cannot be equaled by one. Di Qing and the others would deal with it this way for the sake of the military discipline of the army, and it is understandable.
"Okay, I'll go see this person later and ask Brother Pang to tell me his address."
Pang Ji finally left, happily.
The rockery finally became quiet, and Zhao Xi and Zhao Huirou came over, "Brother Su, tell us a story."
"I won't talk about it today. I'll teach you how to play a new game." Su Shi smiled and took out a wooden box from the omnipotent bag. After opening it, there was a checkers board inside.
Glass balls in six colors, red, yellow, green, white, pink and black, are neatly arranged in groups.
"Wow! Is this colored glaze? The color is so pure." When they saw the chessboard and chess pieces, Zhao Xi and Zhao Huirou both showed expressions of admiration.
"Come on, you each choose a group of colors you like, and I'll teach you how to play checkers." Su Shi looked at the chessboard with a doting look on his face.
Taking out the checkers was to kill time for them. They could also use it to kill time when they were not in the palace in the future.
"Okay, I like red, I choose red." Zhao Huirou was the first to speak and put her hand on the red ball.
"Then I'll choose green." Zhao Xi stretched out his hand and pressed it on the green ball.
"Do you really want to choose green? Don't think about it again?" Su Shi thought in a wicked way and asked.
"Brother Su, what's wrong with green?" Zhao Xi asked puzzledly.
"Okay, that's good. Then I'll choose white." Su Shi shook his head and chose a color.
At that moment, the three colors of red, green, and white were left on the chessboard, and the other three colors were placed on the bottom of the board. Su Shi began to talk about the rules of the game. Within a while, the three of them were
Had a great time playing.
While playing checkers, Su Shi noticed Zhao Huirou moving his feet several times, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Rou'er, are your feet uncomfortable?"
"Yeah, but it's okay. Concubine Mother said it will get better as time goes by." With a pouted face, Zhao Huirou said indifferently even though she was unhappy in her heart.
On the other hand, Zhao Xi, who was on the side, jumped several times with a green ball and said, "Sister Rou is binding her feet. Of course she feels uncomfortable."
"Tie the little feet? Bind the feet?" Su Shi said as he thought of something at the moment.
Seeing that Zhao Xi had already told the reason, Zhao Huirou said no longer secretly, "Yes, it's foot binding. The mother-in-law said that a girl should have three inches of golden lotus to be beautiful. She also said that Empress Li was in charge of the concubine Yao Niang because of foot binding.
Only after you are satisfied can you be favored."
"No, this is not good for people's physical development. Besides, not everyone likes small feet." Su Shi shook his head and said in a very firm tone.
"Ah! Brother Su doesn't like small feet?" Zhao Huirou asked in surprise after hearing this.
"Yes, I don't like the small feet after binding them." Su Shi nodded and confirmed solemnly.
Seeing that Su Shi was sure again, Zhao Huirou made a move that surprised Su Shi. He raised his foot, took off the bandage on his foot in front of him, and then threw it aside.
.
In ancient times, women's feet were not allowed to be seen casually by men.
But now Zhao Huirou didn't care about this at all, and exposed her beautiful feet. They were a pair of white and flawless feet, but now they were wrapped so that the whole feet were red, especially the toes that looked like corn beans, especially because of
The previous squeezing had brought them together, and they were even a little red and swollen.
Seeing this, Su Shi didn't know what to think. He couldn't help but stretched out his hands, put them under the white feet, and gently rubbed them.
The moment Su Shi's big hand reached out, Zhao Huirou originally wanted to dodge, but then she didn't know what she thought of, so she gritted her teeth and didn't move, letting Su Shi's hand touch her own foot, and then there was a burning sensation.
The feeling then started to wrap around my little feet.
The shy Zhao Huirou quickly lowered her head, but the flushing color spread all over her face, until it reached her neck, where it also became flushed.
King Jing Zhao Xi also saw this scene and quickly turned his head to the side. Although he was only more than three years old, he knew some things. He certainly understood what it meant that his sister could let Brother Su hold her little feet.
But Zhao Xi is not optimistic about all this.
No matter how capable Su Shi is, he still has a leg problem. How can a disabled person become an attached horse? If the news spread, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?
But Su Shi was really kind to him and even saved his life. Zhao Xi couldn't say such hurtful words. He could only pretend that he didn't see anything. Fortunately, the three of them
When playing chess, the people around you have already retreated five steps away, so you don't have to worry about anyone gossiping.
Su Shi stretched out his hand and rubbed the little feet vigorously. He felt that the redness and swelling had subsided a lot. Then he raised his head and looked at Zhao Huirou and asked, "How are you? Feeling much better?"
"Okay...much better." Zhao Huirou, who didn't dare to raise her head, lowered her head and answered.
"Uh..." Looking at Zhao Huirou's performance, Su Shi remembered something and quickly retracted his hands, his face showing embarrassment.
In the conscience of heaven and earth, Su Shi really didn't think that much just now. He just saw that the feet were red and swollen, so he stretched out his hands out of concern, but he forgot that this was the Song Dynasty, and men and women were not close to each other. Even if Zhao Huirou was only six years old,
But she is also a girl, and he is not the only man who can get up close and personal with her.
"Well, let's continue playing." Without even looking at Zhao Huirou's feet that quickly retracted, Su Shi looked at the checkerboard and smiled.
The atmosphere that followed was somewhat quiet, with nothing but the sound of falling pieces. Soon after a game of chess, Su Shi, who was slightly embarrassed, stood up and saluted and said goodbye, "It's getting late, I'm leaving, and I'll leave this game of chess for you to return to the palace.
Let’s go play. Oh, here’s a makeup box for Rou’er. Don’t paint such ugly looks in the future, haha.”
After saying these words in the same tone as usual, Su Shi waved to Lou Yang.
"Okay, we have to go back, brother Su, walk slowly." Zhao Xi stood up and said goodbye to Su Shi.
Zhao Huirou, on the other hand, kept his head down and did not speak. It was not until Su Shi was carried off the rockery by Lou Yang and disappeared that Zhao Xi said: "Sister Rou, Brother Su is very good, but you can't
Yeah."
"Why?" Zhao Huirou, who had been silent for a long time, immediately raised his head and stared at Zhao Xi as if someone had stepped on his tail.
Suddenly frightened by Zhao Huirou's cold gaze, Zhao Xi quickly explained: "Sister Rou, I support you, but my father will definitely not agree to recruit a person with leg problems as a horse."
"Then you don't have to worry about it. Remember what you said, you support it, hum." At this moment, Zhao Huirou didn't act well in front of Su Shi. She looked like a queen. After sneering,
Then she reached out and took the makeup box Su Shi left for her.
Lipstick, eyebrow pencil, eye shadow, blush...a small mirror is all you need.
Seeing this box, Zhao Huirou's eyes became bright.
Of course she knew in her heart that her father would not agree to her marrying Brother Su. But didn’t Brother Su say it before? Happiness must be earned by oneself.
