At three o'clock in the morning, Su Zhou was sitting in the study, concentrating on reading the military book. At this time, a servant hurriedly came to the study. After seeing Su Zhou, he immediately reported back: "My eldest son, Kong Jijiu, Master Kong sent me a greeting card."
Su Zhou couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He put down the military book and looked at the servant in disbelief.
"Kong offers wine to Master Kong? Master Kong and I don't know each other, why would he send a greeting card?"
Although Su Zhou was said to be both civilized and military, his literature was only familiar with military books and proficient in the art of war, and had nothing to do with literature. Kong Jijiu was a literary master, so Su Zhou naturally couldn't figure out why Kong Wenshun wanted to visit him.
The servant's expression suddenly became extremely strange, and he murmured back: "The person who sent the greeting card said that Mr. Kong is going to visit the Second Young Master tomorrow at the time of application."
"Su Shi?" Su Zhou thought there was something wrong with his ears and couldn't help but ask, "Master Kong wants to see Su Shi?"
The servant nodded hurriedly. When he first heard someone from the Kong family saying that Kong Wenshun was going to visit Su, he found it incredible, so he repeatedly confirmed it with the people from the Kong family. The person who came was also very sure, saying that Master Kong personally ordered him to send the greeting card.
Su Zhou took the greeting card and saw that it was indeed stamped with Kong Wenshun's seal. It didn't look like a prank. He became more and more puzzled. Then he looked at the servant and asked, "Where is Su Shi now?"
The servant shook his head and said, "Second Young Master has not returned home since he left home."
At this time, Su Shi was wandering lazily on the street and didn't want to go back to the mansion for a while.
Ever since he left the Qin Mansion, he has been uneasy. Thinking of the fact that I promised my eldest brother that I would return the marriage certificate to the Qin Mansion today, but the marriage certificate is still in my arms, I don't know how to explain it to my eldest brother after I return.
And although he has a good impression of Qin Nan, Qin Nan may not be interested in him. Even if they meet by the river today, has Qin Nan's impression of him changed? How much has changed? He couldn't be sure. If it is true that King Xiang has a dream and the goddess has no intention, what is the point of keeping this marriage certificate for herself.
Su Shi stretched, and then he suddenly thought that if he could meet Qin Nan alone, he believed that with his ability, it would not be difficult to change Qin Nan's impression of him.
But how can I meet Qin Nan alone? Su Shi thought of Kong Wenshun again. Kong Wenshun obviously has an extraordinary relationship with Qin Nan. If he can help, it shouldn't be a problem for him to meet Qin Nan alone.
As for how to impress Kong Wenshun, Su Shi had an idea in mind. Judging from the two contacts with Kong Wenshun, it seems that he loves poetry very much, and poetry is what he has the most.
I just don’t know what Qin Nan’s preferences are. If you can cater to Qin Nan’s preferences when they meet, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
While Su Shi was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He looked back and saw two people hurriedly chasing him with joy on their faces.
One of them was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and thin, as tall as a bamboo pole, and had little flesh on his face. His eyes were not big, and his eyes were often wandering.
The other man was similar in age to Su Shi, but half a head shorter than Su Shi. He had a plain appearance and gave off an honest and honest feeling at first glance.
The tall and thin man is called Lin De, and the man who looks honest and honest is called Zhao Rong. Lin De and Zhao Rong are also the sons of officials, but their fathers' official positions are not high. These two people were also idle people, so they had the same bad rapport with the original owner, and the three of them did a lot of dirty things together.
The two of them seemed to respect Su Shi, serving him at all times, but in fact they regarded him as their scapegoat.
It's just that these two people are deep-minded and good at acting, while the original owner is dull and has no one to guide him. Seeing that the two people are very attentive to him, he thinks that these two people treat him sincerely, so he takes good care of them.
And nine out of ten of the evil things Su Shi did were committed under the instigation of these two people.
What's more, these two people often used Su Shi's reputation to do evil, so Su Shi's reputation became worse day by day.
Seeing Lin De and Zhao Rong rushing towards him with expressions of surprise on their faces, Su Shi naturally understood their intentions.
However, Su Shi did not show any displeasure. Instead, he greeted him happily. The three of them were as ecstatic as if they were close friends they had not seen for many years.
Lin De looked Su Shi carefully up and down, then he made a reassuring look and said with a smile: "I heard that something happened to you. We were so worried that we couldn't eat in the past few days. Now that we see you so lively and energetic, we feel relieved. Come down."
Su Shi also smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern."
Zhao Rong's happiness was mixed with a hint of worry: "Are you really well? Just now, Brother Lin and I talked about visiting you in the mansion tomorrow."
Lin De opened his mouth and said: "That's it. We are thinking that you will be a little tired of staying in the house these days, and we are preparing to find some novel things to bring you to relieve your boredom."
How could Su Shi believe their lies? But with a smile on his face, he said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Linde suddenly asked strangely: "Brother Su, where are you going? And you are in good health, why is there no one to take care of you?"
Su Shi said: "I'm just wandering around casually. Besides, I'm already in good health, so I don't want anyone to follow me to avoid spoiling the fun."
Lin De and Zhao Rong looked at each other, and then Linde laughed and said: "It's a joy to see Brother Su today, and it's another joy to see Brother Su recover. These are double blessings, so we have to celebrate today. Everyone will never get home without getting drunk."
Zhao Rong immediately echoed: "Brother Lin is right." Then he lowered his voice pretending to be mysterious and continued: "I heard that the flower shop hired a new oiran. I heard that not only was he beautiful and fragrant, , and he is very talented, and his dance is even more ecstatic. If the oiran dances to celebrate Brother Su, wouldn't it be better than us two great gentlemen to celebrate Brother Su."
Lin De immediately raised his hands and said, "Master Rong, this proposal is very good. What do you think, Brother Su?"
There is indeed a new oiran in the flower shop, and her appearance and talents are just as these two people said. Lin De and Zhao Rong have also wanted to visit it for a long time, but this flower shop is a famous brothel in the capital. If you want to go in and play, the cost is not ordinary.
And the expense was beyond what Linde and Zhao Rong could bear. However, Su Shi had not come out of the house in the past few days, so the two of them had always been grudges. Now that they finally met Su Shi, who had been taken advantage of, they naturally wanted to encourage Su Shi to go to the flower garden.
Su Shi knew what he meant, so he acted accordingly: "When I came out, my eldest brother warned me to go back home early. I'm afraid I won't be able to see this oiran today."
How could these two people let the duck fly again? Lin De said hurriedly: "It's not easy for us brothers to meet each other. We want to celebrate Brother Su. If Brother Su returns home right now, wouldn't it be a shame for our brothers?" Heart."
Zhao Rong also said: "If Brother Su is afraid that Big Brother will blame him if he goes back late, Brother Lin and I will send Brother Su back home. We brothers will bear any punishment from Big Brother."
They thought that as long as they encouraged Su Shi to go to the flower shop and drank a few glasses of wine, Su Shi would not be at their mercy.
Su Shi thought for a moment, then smiled: "Well, since you are so thoughtful, how can I let you down."
