Even though there was an undercurrent surging in the capital, Su Shi lived a very peaceful life, with a very regular schedule. He would get up early every morning and exercise until he was dripping with sweat, and then take a comfortable warm bath.
Butler Wu seemed to have looked away. He changed his past stinginess and arranged every meal in an extremely rich way.
After a hearty breakfast, Su Shi began to wander around the house.
Since Su Shi took charge of the family, he found an excuse that the general's palace did not support idle people, and sent most of the people out to work. However, when these people heard that the young master was under house arrest by his majesty, they all wanted to return to the mansion to share the difficulties with the young master.
However, contrary to expectations, they couldn't even enter the gate of the General's Mansion, not because of His Majesty's imperial edict, but because of Su Shi.
Just when Zhang Ao was about to throw himself into a trap, the general guarding the gate looked at him with laughter, and then said with a joking face: "Master Su said that he likes peace and quiet, so you don't have to go back to the house anymore and work hard outside to make money. Maybe the General’s Mansion will have to rely on you to support it in the future.”
Zhang Ao stared at the general who almost smiled crookedly, but intuitively believed that only the young master could say these words.
So now there are only about twenty people in the huge General's Mansion. When Su Shi wanders around, he will chat with the gardener, watch others fishing, and even play chess with Lin Mo.
Lin Mo seemed dull, but he was a good chess player, with sophisticated layouts and careful moves, which impressed Su Shi.
"It seems that you have been playing chess for a long time." Su Shi couldn't help but said curiously.
"The eldest son in the army taught me before. I found it interesting, so I studied it for a while."
Having said this, he looked at the chessboard and sighed: "But the young master is very skilled in chess, and I am no match for the young master."
Su Shi smiled indifferently: "It's just to kill time. How is my eldest brother's chess skills?"
Lin Mo smiled and said: "According to the eldest son, this chess game was created by the prince based on summarizing the chess rules of his predecessors. The eldest son said that he only learned some superficial skills from the prince. I don't think his chess skills may be as good as the prince's. .”
Su Shi couldn't help laughing and said, "I think so too."
After laughing, Su Shi lay on the bench, looking a little bored.
Lin Mo knew that the young master had no intention of playing chess anymore, so he silently put the chess pieces on the stone table into the wooden box.
At this time, a servant trotted over in a hurry, with an expression on his face as if he had found gold.
"Tell me, sir, someone is visiting."
Hearing these words, Su Shi and Lin Mo couldn't help but be startled. They really couldn't imagine who would come to visit at this time, and they couldn't figure out why the guard would let them go.
While the two of them were still wondering, they suddenly heard a hearty laughter: "I'm here to visit, don't you welcome me?"
Hearing this familiar laughter, Su Shi seemed like he couldn't believe his ears, and his body involuntarily shot up from the bench, looking at the person with surprise and joy.
"Master Kong?" Su Shi couldn't help but exclaimed, and then hurriedly went up to meet him, looking at him doubtfully: "Has the General's Mansion been unsealed?"
"Unblocking?" Kong Wenshun laughed again and said, "You have a good idea."
"The seal has not been lifted?" Su Shi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then asked blankly: "Since the seal has not been lifted, how could Master Kong get in?"
Then he whispered again: "Did Master Kong bribe the guards?"
Seeing that Su Shi's mind was full of strange ideas, if Kong Wenshun had something he could get his hands on, he would have thrown it at Su Shi.
But now that his hands were empty, Kong Wenshun could only say seriously: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, I came to the general's residence on orders."
Su Shi was stunned again: "According to the order? What are you doing here?"
Kong Wenshun's expression was also a bit baffling. He sighed: "I received an imperial edict from His Majesty early this morning. The main message is that you lack teaching and have gone astray. Therefore, I am asked to spend an hour every day to teach you the books of sages and how to be a good person. reason."
Su Shi seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and was about to laugh loudly, but when he saw that there was no smile on Kong Wenshun's face, he was surprised and said, "Your Majesty really said that?"
Kong Wenshun nodded slightly.
Su Shi couldn't help but touch his nose and murmured, "What the hell is your Majesty doing?"
When Kong Wenshun heard these words, he hurriedly scolded: "Young master, be careful what you say." Then he looked around and saw that he, Su Shi, and Lin Mo were the only three people now, and felt a little relieved.
At this time, Su Shi sighed: "Master Kong, please sit down here. No matter what, Master Kong's arrival is always a happy event."
Kong Wenshun did not refuse and followed Su Shi into Xianhe Pavilion and sat down on the stone bench.
Su Shi hurriedly poured tea for Kong Wenshun and said with a smile: "Master Kong, please have some tea."
Kong Wenshun picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put down the teacup and looked at Su Shi: "After receiving the imperial edict, I first went to the Qianqiu Treasury before coming to the General's Mansion."
Su Shi forced a smile: "After I was placed under house arrest, Her Highness the Princess will be much busier than before."
Kong Wenshun said: "Not only Her Royal Highness, but also Miss Nan'er and Xiaolan are very busy. But when they heard that I came to the mansion to teach my little brother, they actually wanted me to tell you something."
"What words?"
"They want me to tell you that you can rest peacefully in the mansion. With them keeping an eye on the business, there will definitely be no problems."
Su Shi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not worried about Qianqiu Company, but I'm worried about them."
"Worried about them?" Kong Wenshun looked at him suspiciously: "What are you worried about them for?"
"I'm worried that they will cause chaos. With their ability, coupled with the financial resources of Qianqiu Company, no one in the capital can be their opponent, and this capital will be in chaos."
Kong Wenshun stared at him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "You don't know yet, but the entire capital has been turned upside down by Her Royal Highness and the others in the past few days."
Although Su Shi was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard Kong Wenshun's words: "Turn the capital upside down? What on earth did they do?"
So Kong Wenshun told him everything Zhou Jin had done in the past few days. Su Shi was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
Seeing that Su Shi remained silent for a long time, and instead of looking happy at all, Kong Wenshun asked, "Didn't you teach them to do this?"
Su Shi shook his head and sighed: "I was put under house arrest for no reason. I had no chance to ask them to do anything."
Kong Wenshun looked at him in surprise: "You still don't know why you were placed under house arrest by His Majesty?"
Su Shi had a grimace on his face and said distressedly: "I just came back from running that morning, and before I even had time to take a shower, Eunuch Hu came to the door with his imperial guards. After reading the imperial edict, I was placed under house arrest."
"The imperial edict only said that I had failed the Holy Grace." Su Shi thought for a while and laughed at himself: "It's probably because Qianqiu Trading Company made money and forgot to honor His Majesty."
