Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 83 Xiao Su, don’t talk nonsense!

Regarding the so-called suggestions, that is, some attention to hygiene and plague matters, Zhao He thought of it when he saw the dead people on the street.

Plagues were severe in ancient times, because many people died every year. These were actually easy to deal with. Local officials searched for missing persons according to household registration, and then searched for corpses in the city, trying not to rot and produce germs.

However, every time there is a famine, the people have nothing to eat. They eat all the leaves, grass and roots. They will pick up dead rats on the road to satisfy their hunger. There are also cases of cannibalism, but after all, they are in the minority. Ethics and morality restrain them. , but in the face of life and death, in order to survive, they will also eat people.

This will cause the plague to spread on a large scale, and more people will die. Therefore, the number of people who died in famines in history is always based on one hundred thousand.

Under this background, Zhao He actually wanted to do something, and Quan should be doing it to build up virtue for himself.

After leaving Kaifeng Mansion, the closest one was the Su family. The three of them immediately walked all the way to the Su family's residence.

Su Xun's father has considerable assets, which allows Su Xun to travel around the mountains and rivers without studying at a very young age. Even relying on his ancestors' family business, Su Xun can be a wealthy son for the rest of his life, and Su Xun's My father never dissuaded me.

It wasn't until Su Xun's 28th year that he suddenly found his way back. From then on, he devoted himself to studying without caring about worldly affairs. As a result, he became a late bloomer and was able to enter the court as an official after being chosen by Ouyang Xiu.

But now, Ouyang Xiu was demoted just last year, and it was still more than ten years before the historical incident happened.

The Su family's front door is grand, with two stone drums in front of it. In Chinese-style architecture, these stone drums symbolize the success of the children in the family, and the Zhilan Yushu on the plaque at the door also confirms this, which is very orderly.

When the concierge saw that the three of them were strangers, he approached them politely and asked. From then on, he could see the upbringing of the owner of the family.

"Young Master, you want to see your boss, right? Zhao He? I'll report to you later, Young Master."

A moment later, Su Xun trotted over, completely lacking the dignity that a scholar should have. When he saw Zhao and the others, there was a smile on his face: "It turns out to be the young man, your distinguished guest! Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."

Since the last time Su Xun's daughter was found by Zhao He, Su Xun has been thinking about this matter. He thought about visiting her during the New Year. But before, he only said that Zhao He could visit Su's house, but he couldn't. Learned where to go to visit Zhao He.

So I felt a little guilty in my heart, but I was quite excited when I saw Zhao He coming to visit in person.

In the room, the Su family's mistress smiled and asked her servants to serve tea, and expressed her gratitude to Zhao He for helping to find her daughter.

Zhao He chuckled and said, "Mrs. Su is too polite. It's reasonable."

His eyes suddenly turned to the door, and it seemed that a little head poked out, with a very cute bun, and he immediately shrank back after being spotted by Zhao He's eyes.

Then I heard the movement of two teenagers outside.

"Sister, what are you doing standing here? Aren't you cold?"

"Why don't you go in?"

"You two shut up!"

The girl said something rather embarrassed, and then asked them to keep quiet so as not to be discovered.

At this moment, everyone in the room looked outside the door. When the ball head poked out and found that everyone was looking at him, his face suddenly turned red and he was about to run away.

The woman chuckled and said, "Banniang, you haven't come in to thank your benefactor, how come you don't even understand etiquette?"

Su Xiaomei found out that she had been caught, and walked in with some blushing, and said to Zhao He Weiwei: "I failed, please don't blame me. I thank you for what happened before."

Seeing Su Xiaomei, Zhao He's mood immediately improved a lot.

Su Xiaomei was already good-looking, but at a young age, she was already a bit mature. Her face was quite delicate, and with her two buns, she looked even more adorable.

Hmm... I really want to rub her head. How nice would it be if I had such a daughter?
Zhao He chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are here to pay New Year greetings. Besides, we have already thanked you before, so there is no need to mention it more."

For some reason, the old father on the side noticed something was wrong.

Why does this young man seem so happy to see his daughter?

Su Xun thought for a moment and asked: "By the way, the young man is so young and seems to have not yet been crowned. I wonder how old he is this year?"

Zhao He didn't care: "Sixteen now."

The old father's eyes immediately showed some vigilance.

This kid couldn't be here for his daughter, right?
Su Baniang is also ten years old this year. In two years, she will be at the age to talk about marriage, which undoubtedly does not make Su Xun very worried.

You smile so happily, I am very unhappy!

He immediately said: "Haha, I'm not much older than you, you just treat me like an elder brother!"

Zhao He was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Xun, you are over 30, is it appropriate for me to call you big brother?The woman on the side also frowned: "The young man is now sixteen. According to the rules, you two should be treated as uncle and nephew. How can you be called brother?"

Su Xun still persisted and refused to listen to anything.

If you were my brother, then based on seniority, you would be Banniang’s uncle. An uncle can’t do anything to his niece!

This is what Su Xun thinks...

In fact, his worries are purely unnecessary. Zhao He likes this little girl and regards Su Xiaomei as his daughter. He himself has a soul in his 20s. How can he treat a ten-year-old girl with the eyes of a woman? look?

"Zizhan, Ziyou, you two come in too."

The two teenagers just walked in. Su Shi, who was slightly older, had a particularly out-of-the-box temperament and became very curious after seeing Zhao He.

"Are you Zhao He, the person who saved my sister before?"

Su Xun scolded softly: "You must not be rude when facing your benefactor. Besides, he is still your uncle according to seniority..."

Zhao He was speechless immediately. He was only 16 years old and didn't want to be called uncle.

"Are you Su Shi?"

Su Shi raised his little head: "Of course it's me!"

Su Che on the side cupped his hands and said, "I'm Su Che, uncle, just call me Ziyou."

Zhao He immediately twitched the corner of his mouth, and Zhou Fei and Guo Huai on the side also laughed.

No, you are really shouting, how much older am I than you?
However, Zhao He also felt a little emotional. At this moment, all three of the three Sus were gathered together!
From now on, if I want to brag, I will say that Su Xun is my eldest brother and Su Shi and Su Che are my little nephews. This gives me a great sense of accomplishment!

Su Xun cupped his hands and said, "The dog Su Shi and Su Che made my husband laugh."

Zhao He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where is it?"

Then he looked at Su Shi and the two of them: "I heard that you two are quite talented?"

Su Shi snorted: "I don't believe you have heard of my name, Su Shi, but I am knowledgeable, so I will admit it!"

Su Che coughed lightly and said, "My brother has a loose temper, don't blame me uncle."

Zhao He held his forehead and sighed slightly.

"That's all, let's just admit it as uncle."

Su Xun immediately showed a kind smile: "What you said, brother Xian, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can also visit me here!"

Then he looked at Su Xiaomei and said with a smile: "Ba Niang, call me uncle, and I would like to wish my uncle a happy new year."

Calling uncle makes dad feel relieved!

When Su Xiaomei heard this, she tilted her head, snorted, and left.

This directly embarrassed Su Xun. The woman on the side rolled her eyes: "Ba Niang and Xiao Langjun are only a few years apart, and you asked her to call her uncle. I really don't know what you think."

Su Shi spoke unabashedly and immediately said: "I think my sister likes Zhao He. Last time she came back and brought a hand warmer back. After asking for a long time, she didn't say who it was. At that time, I heard that it was a young man who gave it to him. Yeah, I knew he was my lover right away."

"Later, my sister held the hand warmer bag and thought about things all day long, and I knew she had someone she liked. This time, Zhao He came over and watched secretly as soon as Zhao He came. Isn't that right?"

After saying that, Su Shi looked at his parents excitedly: "Am I smart?"

Su Xun stood up, smiled at Zhao He and others and handed over his hands: "Three of you, I will stay here soon. There are some things to deal with."

When Su Shi saw his father's expression, he immediately knew that he was going to hit someone, and ran out without saying a word.

"I'm telling you the truth, Dad, why are you so anxious?"

Su Xun suppressed his expression and smiled: "I will definitely come to visit you someday..."

After that, he walked towards where Su Shi ran away.

For the Chinese New Year, there is a young man whose butt is going to suffer today.
