Dingguo

Chapter 46

Elder Zhou rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered something, so he said to the servants in the hall, "Is there still a guest waiting in the hall? Let him in quickly..."

The servant responded, and soon brought in a young man, who was the one he had met in the front hall when he came in just now. 【】

The man glanced at the hall, seeing that Mr. Sheng was also present, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and was about to salute and speak, but Mr. Zhou said sullenly, "You find a place to sit down, I have something to ask you..."

The man couldn't help being a little surprised, he didn't know what happened, and he didn't even give him a chance to speak... So he sat down on Su San's seat... Zhou Lao glanced at Su San, then at Sheng Lao, and finally looked away. Landing on Su Yi's body, he asked with a stern expression, "Your family, that naughty brother, is simply too outrageous..."

Su Da was taken aback, his face became extremely disturbed.He probably knew what Su San did at home, but the recent letter from his father said that Su San had changed his ways, and he hadn't heard of any troubles that happened recently... Why did Ji Gong say such words?Could it be that something major has happened these days?

"This one……"

"You don't have to hide it for him. That guy, what's so hard to learn, he wants to gamble with others. Now that he's done, he actually came to the old man's house to gamble. Tell me, how do you deal with this?"

As soon as Su heard Zhou Ji's words, he couldn't help but get dizzy. What is this?Why did you bet on the Jigong Mansion?I really don't know how to live or die... "Jigong, please calm down, the students have to teach my brother a lesson when they return home, and teach him to correct..."

"Lessons must be learned. Even if it's a family law, you can't be soft. It's just the gambling money..."

"Of course it will be returned in full..." Su Yi quickly responded... Su San was at a loss as to what was going on, and didn't understand the situation... But Zhou Ji suddenly turned his face to him and said, "Here...you listen Yes, the gambling money will be returned in full..."

"Ah..." Su San was stunned for a moment, then regained consciousness.But instead of Xiang Zhou Ji, he watched Su Yi stand up and asked, "Are you the eldest brother?"

"Brother? Are you Su San?" Su Yi was also taken aback and couldn't help asking.

Seeing Su Yi's expression, Su San knew that it was indeed Su Yi who was suspicious, so he couldn't help but wryly smiled and said, "We two brothers, sitting face to face, didn't know each other, let the two old fellows make a joke..."

Su Yi is a very clever person, remembering that when he came in, Jigong didn't give him a chance to speak at all, so he knew that Jigong sang such a play on purpose, it's just that his younger brother, when will he be with Jigong and Sheng Lao? So familiar?And two old guys?Why is there no mention of the father's letter?

Seeing Su San's angry face, Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing out loud, he finally saw Su San change his face... When Su Yi left home, Su San was still young, of course Zhou Ji knew about it.Su Yi was waiting in the front hall, but Su San walked through the hall without recognizing each other, so it can be seen that the two did not know each other.His own brother is right in front of him, but he doesn't know him. He is also a childlike innocence, and he can't stop it anymore.In addition, Su San co-authored Sheng Lao and squeezed out his two jars of old wine, so he was upset, so he thought of making such a joke... Sheng Lao saw the whole process in his eyes, and he also had a smile on his face. Mr. Zhou He lost a game, and now he wants to save another game. Although he knows all about it, it's not easy to break it... Now it's all right, the two have a tie.Sheng Lao chuckled, in order not to let the atmosphere cool down, but also to divert everyone's thoughts, he said, "Annan, he just entered the city..."

Annan is Su Yi's name, Su Yi saw Sheng and asked anxiously, "The capital city at sunrise before, I just arrived in Wuling this morning after a long time delay on the road, and I went to Sheng's hometown by the East Lake first, but I didn't expect Sheng It's a coincidence that I'm always at the teacher's place..."

"What happened recently?" Sheng Lao smiled and asked again.

Su Yi then described the situation in court in detail, only talking about what happened, without commenting on it...Su San saw the three of them talking, and had nothing to do with him, so he just listened to him... ...Su Yi is already forty years old, this age can be regarded as a young and vigorous official in the court, he already knew that Su Yi was a fourth-rank official, and was a servant of the book.This position is only one level behind the senior members of the third rank, but because he belongs to the Ministry of Shu, he can directly reach Tianting, and his authority is extremely great... It's just that he doesn't care about the affairs of the Feng Dynasty, I know The person in front of me, after being the elder brother, returned to his habitual indifference... Even if it was the real Su San, he would not have much affection for this elder brother who had no impression of him, let alone this fake Su San, he would have no feelings for this Su Yi. , naturally even more lacking in feelings... I'm afraid that Su Yi's heart towards him is probably the same.

When he left home, Su San was only a little older. Although he was a real brother, he hadn't been close for so many years, and he hadn't even said a word. Much more... The three of them chatted about state affairs for a while, but in fact they only talked in general terms and didn't talk in depth.

Sheng Lao is a veteran minister who went to the field. Although his heart is still in the court, but in the capital, personnel changes, and many things are no longer what he wants to care about.

Given the current peaceful situation, if there was no great turmoil, the emperor and the officials in the capital would probably not have thought of the fact that in Wuling City, there is still a capable minister who can help the world live in seclusion.

After another seven or eight years, Mr. Sheng will be very old. Even if he can return to the capital, he may only be able to do some work similar to that of a consultant for later generations... Mr. Zhou has never held any official position in the Feng Dynasty.His understanding of political affairs is actually very broad.After all, it doesn't really matter.

It's just that a scholar must always have the world in mind, so he still needs to know a thing or two about major events in the world.However, during the conversation, I asked about the current situation of several of my students, whether there are any new works coming out, etc., mostly.

No matter what the two old people want to know, Su Yi will certainly not know what to say.So it took a lot of time to chat.

Seeing that it was almost noon, knowing that Su Yi hadn't returned home, it was inconvenient for Jigong to leave food.After ordering for new tea, Su Yi got up to say goodbye... Mr. Zhou and Mr. Sheng got up and sent them to the hall. Zhou Ji smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come back. I have a second jar of 50-year-old jars here. You can take it with you." Go back..." After saying that, without waiting for Su's words, he waved to the servants to fetch them...Su Yi was quite touched, it is right for a student to give a gift to the teacher, there is no reason to come to the teacher's door to receive a generous gift...So it is very embarrassing Panicked, but did not expect that the old wine in these two jars was originally a bet between Ji Gong and Su San.

Zhou Ji loves face, and today he was put together by Su San and Gongsun Sheng. Although he lost the agreement, he was unwilling to admit it.

The second jar of old wine was to be brought out, but how could Zhou Ji be willing to take it out so easily?It just so happened that Su Yi came, and he was a half-student again, so the excuse was for Su Yi, which was an extra favor, and it was a good step down, saving some face, rather than being made a joke by Su San and Gongsun Sheng.
