The weather was getting hotter in April, and Su Shi's face was already sweating slightly after a few glasses of strong wine went down his throat.
He wiped the slight sweat on his forehead with his hand and asked, "Don't you think things are too complicated?"
Tang Xiunu just looked at him silently for a long time before asking: "Why are you doing this?"
"No one will complain about the lack of money." Su Shi picked up the wine glass and said slowly.
"You know that's not what I'm asking." Tang Xiunu sighed: "Why did you just offend King Qi and now target King Zhao?"
Su Shi said: "For me, as long as I can make money, I will do it. I won't deliberately target anyone."
Tang Xiu Nu also picked up the wine glass and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you going to have a hand in the capital's business?"
She originally wanted to tease Su Shi, but Su Shi said seriously: "Yes, I had such a plan."
Tang Xiunu's smile instantly condensed on her face, and the wine in her glass spilled on the table without realizing it. She was so frightened by Su Shi's words that she could not speak.
Tang Xiunu originally thought that Su Shi had something wrong with his head, but now it seemed that he was an out-and-out lunatic, and Su Shi's behavior also looked like a lunatic.
"Doing business requires capital. If you want to get involved in every business, do you know how much capital is needed?"
"The principal is not a problem." Then Su Shi sighed: "In fact, I am troubled by having too much principal right now."
Tang Xiunu sighed softly: "Even if you have enough capital, have you ever thought that cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents? Is it worth offending so many people? I'm afraid the General's Mansion may not be able to save you." "
Su Shi said disapprovingly: "Everyone in the Tang Dynasty should know the origin of the word Qianqiu."
Tang Xiunu shook her head gently: "These two words can only protect you for a while. Do you think they can really protect you for the rest of your life?"
"So, everyone in Tang Dynasty will not accept my invitation."
"If you ask me for a drink, I will definitely agree, but if you want to talk about other things, please forgive me for not being able to promise."
Hearing this, Su Shi did not feel disappointed. He raised his glass and said with a smile, "In that case, we will never get home without getting drunk with everyone in Tang Dynasty today."
There was not much food on the table, and there was not much left in the jar of wine.
Tang Xiunu was drunk. She looked at Su Shi drunkenly and couldn't help but laugh: "Is there one more thing I can't figure out?"
Su Shi was also sixty or seventy percent drunk. He pressed his forehead and asked, "Do you have any questions, Tang?"
"You clearly know that I won't promise you, why are you still coming to me?"
Su Shi sighed: "As long as there is hope, I have to give it a try."
Tang Xiunu was not satisfied with this answer, but at this time she was already drunk and fell asleep on the table.
At this time, Shopkeeper Wei came over, holding a cloak as white as snow in his hand. He looked at Tang Xiu Nu with pity, and then gently put it on her.
Although the cloak was as white as snow, Su Shi could tell at a glance that it was very old. But what caught Su Shi's attention the most was the bright red flower embroidered on the cloak.
At this time, Wei Zhe looked at the red flower infatuatedly, his mind seemed to have drifted to many years ago.
Su Shi suddenly asked: "Do you like everyone in Wei?"
Wei Zhe did not hide his feelings and nodded firmly: "Yes."
"It must have been a long time, right?"
A trace of loneliness flashed across Wei Zhe's elegant face, and he asked: "Is seven years a long time?"
Su Shi couldn't answer this question because his love life had never lasted more than three months since the girl who liked peach blossoms left him.
"I don't know." Su Shi replied honestly.
"You and Miss Qin Nanqin are childhood sweethearts?"
Su Shi asked in surprise: "Do you know me?"
Wei Zhe sighed: "She doesn't have many friends, and even fewer can be brought here. There are basically no people who can make her drunk. So the first time you came here, I paid close attention to you."
Then he said apologetically: "After you left, I couldn't help but ask around."
Su Shi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and said, "What you heard must not be good news."
Wei Zhe said calmly: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing. I only believe what I see."
Su Shi sighed with emotion: "If I were Master Tang, I would definitely not keep you waiting for so long."
Wei Zhe couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that you are not him."
Su Shi suddenly asked: "Why?"
Even though Wei Zhe was more than ten years older than Su Shi, he felt that there was nothing wrong with discussing relationship issues with Su Shi. When Su Shi asked him this question, Wei Zhe naturally smiled bitterly and said, "I I want to know too."
Su Shi poured him a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "Please."
Wei Zhe was not polite, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he remained motionless as if someone had tapped his acupuncture points. He endured it for a long time, and finally coughed non-stop: "This wine is so strong."
"Only strong wine can match strong feelings, and only one drunkenness can relieve thousands of sorrows."
Wei Zhe's drinking capacity was obviously not high. A glass of strong wine went down his throat and he was already drunk. After hearing Su Shi's words, he couldn't help but pour himself another glass.
"Seven years ago, I was not a poor scholar." Wei Zhe stared at the wine glass in front of him and said slowly: "At that time, I was very arrogant and thought that I would be able to make a big splash when I came to the capital. Who knew that I would hesitate everywhere, so that the pride in my heart diminished? , coupled with the hardship of life, I had long thought of committing suicide."
Su Shi raised his glass and after the two drank together, Wei Zhe continued: "I met her when I was completely despairing." A trace of sadness flashed across his face: "When two frustrated people met, there was a moment of warmth. It’s enough to comfort my heart.”
When Su Shi heard about the two frustrated people, he subconsciously looked at the unconscious Tang Xiu Nu.
Wei Zhe sighed: "Hui Niang was like a teacher, sister and mother to her, so even though Hui Niang had passed away for nearly two years at that time, she still couldn't accept it."
"We comforted each other during that period. I originally thought we could be together for a lifetime." At this time, the sadness in his eyes became deeper and deeper: "But soon after, she became distant from me."
Wei Zhe looked around the tavern and said with a wry smile: "She funded the opening of this tavern, but after opening this tavern, the time we spent together became less and less. Later, she would only do it when she wanted to get drunk. came here."
Although Wei Zhe was drunk at this time, he couldn't help but drink another drink, and then said with a smile: "But as long as you are still willing to come, I am willing to wait."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but gently stroke the bright red flower on his cloak.
His hand was very light, as if he was afraid of waking up Tang Xiu Nu.
Although this cloak is very old, it was well collected by Wei Zhe, so the whole cloak is very clean and tidy, but the red flower was obviously embroidered on it later.
"Why is there a red flower embroidered on this cloak?" Su Shi finally couldn't help but ask.
Wei Zhe's face was immediately filled with smile, as if recalling the good past.
"This cloak was the first gift she gave me, but one time when I was drunk, I accidentally stained it with some ink, and I couldn't clean it off. When I was regretting it, the embroiderer was here Embroidered with a red flower."
Su Shi was about to speak when he suddenly stood up and stared blankly at the bright red flower.
After a long time, Su Cai took a long breath and shouted: "Brother Lin!"
Lin Mo was eating at the table next to him. When he heard Su Shi's cry, he immediately stood up: "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Drive to Qianqiu Quality Warehouse."
