The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

"Stop, where did you go to drink again, and you just come back now."

Chen Mansion, Chen Qing just returned to the mansion when he was stopped by Chen Shangshu. Chen Shangshu was sitting on the solid wood red chair in the lobby, seeing Chen Qing coming back, he snorted heavily, and poured his cup heavily in displeasure. on the table at hand.

Chen Qing stopped in his tracks immediately, twisted his face with his back to Chen Shangshu for a while, then turned around and replied obediently with a smile: "Father, I just went out for a drink at random, I didn't go to Xiaotian Over there."

Chen Shangshu didn't care about Chen Qing's answer, he just asked again: "Then what did you do a few days ago?"

How many days ago?Chen Qing's face twitched, and he continued to answer obediently: "Father, whether it's these few days or the past few days, I eat ordinary wine."

"You still haven't told the truth!" Chen Shangshu's tone immediately became three points heavier.

Chen Qing was taken aback, and his face immediately showed a bit of timidity. Don't look at him as Chen Shangshu's only son, but if Chen Shangshu is really angry, or if he really did something bad, he will be punished , must be locked up for several days and nights and cannot go out.

Chen Qingsi came to think about what happened a few days ago. His daily life was similar. If there was anything wrong, it was that he was called to Kaifeng Mansion three days ago, but didn't he solve the problem that time? ?

Did Dad already know?

Thinking of this, Chen Qing dared to say that he didn't do anything, and immediately told honestly what happened that day.Sure enough, after Chen Shangshu listened to it, his complexion immediately sank a bit.

"It really is!"

"Father!" Chen Qing was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, crying, "Father, I really didn't do anything, but I honestly cooperated with Kaifeng Mansion to solve the case, really!"

Chen Qing's cowardly appearance made Chen Shangshu upset. Now that he has figured out the whole story, and Chen Qing is his only son, although he is not a good one, he is still passing incense. Thinking of this, Chen Shangshu is impatient He waved Chen Qing down.

"In the past few days, you just stay at home honestly. If you let me hear any bad voices again, you go back to your hometown in the countryside for a few months to grind your temper!"

Chen Qing hurriedly backed away.

After Chen Qing left, Chen Shangshu continued to drink tea with a sullen face.He knew that what happened in the first three days was not because of anything else, but because of Wang Anshi and Wang Jiefu. Wang Anshi was a new official, and he had some connections in Bianliang before. In the past few years, he has developed some contacts, so he still has some prestige in the court.

Speaking of it, Chen Qing and Wang Anshi didn't have any entanglements, but because of their different ideas, the two had occasional disputes in the court.

At this time, Wang Anshi had not yet started to reform, but he had already shown a little tendency, and his words were radical, while Chen Shangshu tended to be conservative. Not only Chen Shangshu, but most ministers in the court tended to be conservative.

It is normal for the court to argue because of different ideas, but what is abnormal is that Wang Anshi walked up to him on his own initiative and asked him to discipline his family affairs in a very strong tone. Stability, how can it help the country to be stable.

At that time, Chen Shangshu was furious, but that guy Wang Anshi left directly. He knew that Wang Anshi was unreasonable, but he didn't expect that he would embarrass him in public. Almost immediately, Chen Shangshu was completely ashamed .

Although Chen Shangshu hated Wang Anshi very much, he thought about it carefully on the way back. Wang Anshi is not a person who talks nonsense, unless something happened at home that he didn't know about, and there was only one restlessness in the family, so After he came back, Chen Shangshu got angry, and the result naturally made him angry again.

He was really angry and angry, angry at Chen Qing for not being up to date, angry at Wang Anshi for being so unsympathetic, but in the end it was his own son's fault, so he could only bear the anger.

But whether he really doesn't care or not is unknown over there.

At the same time, on the other side, Wei Shiyi set up a few banquets at Li's restaurant, inviting everyone he knew to come and drink, to celebrate his surviving a catastrophe, and to drive away bad luck with happiness.

Zhou Yun said that Chen Qing would not stand up for Chen San. Wei Shiyi waited for a few days, but he really didn't wait. He asked people to inquire, but he really didn't find out that he had any acts of revenge. Yes, Chen San is just a little guy. It wasn't worth Chen Qing's action for him at all, so Wei Shiyi set up a banquet without any worries.

He invited a lot of people, both with and without status. In order to avoid bad luck, the more joy the better, those guests did not disappoint Wei Shiyi, Wei Shiyi went to toast, and those people said a lot of good luck talk.

Although Wei Shiyi learned western medicine, after going through time travel, although he doesn't completely believe in some metaphysical things, he will not disbelieve.Therefore, during the illness, Li Sanshu and the others proposed to hold a banquet to unlucky people, and Wei Shiyi agreed without much thought.

The dishes on the banquet were all the specialties of Li's Restaurant, spicy dry pot, grilled fish on a sizzling plate, and white-cut chicken.

"Brother Shi, let me toast you with a glass of wine. I hope you will never be kidnapped and live a safe life!" Zheng Shuangcheng raised his glass to Wei Shiyi.

Wei Shiyi also picked up the cup, and touched one with Zheng Shuangcheng neatly, "Thank you. But don't say you were kidnapped. Now thinking of the kidnapping, my whole body hurts." Wei Shiyi teased.

After hearing this, Zheng Shuangcheng immediately burst out laughing.

After Zheng Shuangcheng smiled like this, the faint depression during the dinner suddenly disappeared.

These repressions are all because of the kidnapping case. Although Wei Shiyi came back well, he experienced a lot of thrills at that time, so the people who came to invite still kept that incident in their hearts. With the ridicule of Sui Yi, everyone was truly relieved.

"Come on, Brother Shi, Uncle San will also toast you."

After Zheng Shuangcheng finished toasting, Uncle Li also came to toast, and then almost everyone came to toast. Counting the round that Wei Shiyi drank before, this was considered the second round.

After two rounds, Wei Shiyi's face turned red, and his vision began to blur.As a doctor, in order to stay awake, he was not allowed to drink at will. Wei Shiyi's alcohol capacity has never been very good. In ancient times, his body was young, and he didn't even drink at all when he was under the legal age.

Today's situation is different, he started to drink, but he underestimated the alcohol capacity of his body, so after only a dozen drinks, he was actually a little drunk.The wines of this period are not as strong as those of modern times. It is said to be wine, but in fact the taste is similar to fruit wine.

He was about to get drunk after drinking more than a dozen glasses of fruit wine. How bad is this body's alcohol capacity?

At this moment, someone came to toast him again. Wei Shiyi held the glass to drink almost numbly, and didn't see who the person who toasted him was, so when Wei Shiyi finally found out who that person was, he My bewildered mind suddenly woke up.

"Zhou Yuhou?"

Zhou Yun hummed, holding a small wine glass with white jade-like fingers, and said to Wei Shiyi, "I hope you won't be in any danger in the future."

Chen Qing is so masculine...

He obviously heard words of congratulations, but Wei Shiyi suddenly remembered Zhou Yun's words that Chen Qing was so masculine in his ear that night. It was very hot, and I don't know if the wine got on his face or something else, Wei Shiyi's face suddenly turned red, and his heart started beating uncontrollably.

"Thank you." Wei Shiyi responded indiscriminately, raised his head and drank the wine, but he choked on drinking too quickly, and coughed immediately.

Zhou Yun hurriedly put down the cup in his hand, put one hand on Wei Shiyi's shoulder, and patted him on the back with the other, and asked eagerly, "Are you okay, do you want some food?"

Zhou Yun thought that patting Wei Shiyi like this would make him feel better, but Wei Shiyi seemed to be stimulated by something, and his cough became more and more severe, as if he was about to cough up his heart and lungs, which was very uncomfortable.

In the end, Assistant Teacher Wang and the others gave Wei Shiyi a few sips of water, and then gave him some pills before he recovered.

Afterwards, when Wei Shiyi recalled this incident, he froze on the spot, it was... too embarrassing...

After finishing the wine and calming down the joy, this matter is really over. Speaking of which, Wei Shiyi should have nothing to worry about, but lying on the bed at night, he couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

In fact, there is no special reason. There is only one reason, that is, when the show was over during the day, Zhou Pu came to tell Wei Shiyi, saying: "Yu Hou asked when you have time, and he will wait for you at home. You said you wanted to know him before." What did you say to Mr. Wang, because Yu Hou will be going to the palace in a few days, and I'm afraid I won't have much time in the future."

Then Wei Shiyi remembered what he should have done the day he was kidnapped. Logically speaking, he should have answered immediately that he would go soon, but he only heard Zhou Yun say that a few days ago, and now he is asked to talk to him alone. When Zhou Yun got along, Wei Shiyi said: It can't be done.

In fact, he wasn't sure about Zhou Yun's sexual orientation, but his speech and behavior really seemed to be like that, and he was very narcissistic about whether the person Zhou Yun was interested in might be him.

He does not discriminate against homosexuals, and is even tolerant. He also has gay friends around him. In his view, there is no difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality, and naturally bisexuality is also the same.He was just shocked, after all, he never thought he would encounter such a thing.

More importantly, he didn't seem to have that kind of interest in Zhou Yun.

But one of the saddest illusions in the world is: you feel that he likes you, but in fact he may not like you, this is self-indulgence.

This is what Wei Shiyi was facing at this time. He was worried that Zhou Yun liked him, but he was not sure, so if he rejected Zhou Yun, he might be the one who would lose face in the end.

That's all, the key is that he can't stay away from Zhou Yun yet...

It is a good thing that Zhou Yun is on duty in the palace, maybe it can calm him down, and it can also calm down Wei Shiyi.But before Zhou Yun went to the palace, he really wanted to know what Zhou Yun had said to Wang Anshi that day, so even though he was in a mess, he still had to go see Zhou Yun.

As a result, Wei Shiyi couldn't fall asleep.

Waking up the next day, Wei Shiyi looked at the glasses, looked at the young man with blue eyes, sighed heavily, and began to wash and dress. Yes, he decided to go to Zhou Yun today.

He is not a person who will put the problem aside to solve it later. This matter will happen sooner or later, so if it can be resolved early, it will be resolved as soon as possible.

Zhou Mansion, Zhou Yun's room.

Zhou Yun's room was as cold and deserted as his whole person. Except for the desk and some necessary furniture, there was no decoration. The overall decoration color was mainly gray and black, and it looked unpopular.

At this time, Zhou Yun was sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand and reading quietly.However, he didn't look as calm as he appeared on the surface. In just half a quarter of an hour, he changed three positions and drank four sips of tea, but the book in his hand didn't turn a single page. Pass.

After another half a moment, Zhou Yun put down the book in his hand, and raised his voice slightly and asked, "Zhou Pu, is Wei Shiyi here?"

But after a while, Zhou Pu's answer came from outside, "Not yet."

Zhou Yun tightened his hand holding the book, and then raised his voice and said, "If he comes, come and tell me right away."

"Yes, Yu Hou." Zhou Pu replied respectfully, but this time he did not leave after finishing his answer, but walked back and forth outside Zhou Yun's room several times, and then raised his voice and asked, "Yu Hou, what about Brother Wei?" I didn't say that I would come today, or I would send someone to ask for a confirmation, otherwise it would not be good for you to wait here all day."

"Don't go!" Zhou Pu's voice was almost finished when Zhou Yun's voice sounded, and he said to Zhou Pu: "Don't let people disturb Wei Shiyi, just watch at the door, don't do what you shouldn't do .”

Zhou Pu was verbally reprimanded by Zhou Yun, and immediately said that he would not bother Wei Shiyi, and then left.However, after Zhou Pu left, his emotions did not calm down, instead he had a feeling that it was so.

What he said just now was actually testing Zhou Yun's attitude. Ever since he learned that Zhou Yun was going to have a banquet with Wei Shiyi a few days ago, he felt that his Marquis Yu's attitude towards Wei Shiyi was very unusual.

Although Yu Hou's popularity is not particularly good, but he has been in the palace for so long, there are one or two acquaintances, and he will meet all kinds of people on weekdays because of official business, but those people have never caught Yu Hou's eyes .

However, Wei Shiyi was different. No matter Yu Hou personally ordered the preparation of the banquet that night, or how he seemed to take care of Wei Shiyi in the past few days, and helping Wei Shiyi solve the case, it was unprecedented.

He still remembers how Yuhou looked when he learned that Wei Shiyi was beaten that day. He has been with Yuhou for so many years, and he has never seen him so angry and angry.

In the end, Zhou Pu came to this conclusion in his heart. Wei Shiyi's position in Yu Hou's heart was different, but Zhou Pu didn't know exactly what was different.

If Wei Shiyi hadn't been a man, he would almost have suspected that Yu Hou was pursuing him.

Forget it, although I don't know the reason, but I have to be more careful with Wei Shiyi in the future.

Shaking his head, Zhou Pu went to guard the door.

Inside the room, Zhou Yun's mood was quite agitated, not only agitated, but also a little anxious. He put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked back and forth in the room many times, and then calmed down.

He lightly raised his hand to cover his heart, feeling a different rapid beating there, and a rare expression of regret appeared on his face.

It was still too hasty, Wei Shiyi shouldn't have gotten so close that day to say that Chen Qing was so masculine, but...he couldn't help it, if he didn't act quickly, the things he liked might be snatched away by others.

Although there was no one else around Wei Shiyi at this time, he was not at ease, not at all at ease.

Zhou Yun is like a child who has discovered a treasure. The treasure is too precious to him, so he can't wait to lock him up in his territory immediately, watch him day and night and take care of him before he can rest assured.

Don't look at Zhou Yun's cool and cold look, but maybe it's because of his childhood experience that he can't own anything, and he doesn't have the ability to get what he likes. As long as he likes it, he will use naive The means quickly circled into his arms.

Such as clothes, such as weapons, such as houses, such as candies, such as... Wei Shiyi.Zhou Yun liked Wei Suyi more than those clothes, weapons, house candy and candied fruit. Looking at him, it was like seeing a little sun, smiling at him like that afternoon.

Zhou Yun didn't know exactly when he fell in love with Wei Shiyi, but what he knew was that he hoped that Wei Shiyi would always be by her side, talking to him and smiling at him all the time.

But those are dead things, but Wei Shiyi is a living thing, a person.

He seems to be a little too hasty...should take it slowly...

Pursing the corners of his mouth, Zhou Yun tried his best to suppress the urgency in his heart. After a while, he was that cold Zhou Yuhou who had no desires or desires again.

At this moment, Zhou Pu's voice sounded outside again, and he only heard Zhou Pu say from outside: Yu Hou, Brother Wei is here.

"Brother Wei, drink some tea first, Marquis Yu will be here soon." Zhou Pu poured Wei Shiyi a cup of tea with a smile.

Wei Shiyi picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip, then raised his head and said with a smile, "Thank you, it's delicious."

"Just drink it well, then I'll go down first, and if you need me later, just call me." Zhou Pu replied with a smile, then turned and left.

After leaving the room, Zhou Pu immediately wiped his forehead. After waiting for so long, Wei Shiyi finally came.

Inside the house, Wei Shiyi also heaved a sigh of relief, and reached out to rub the flesh on his face. After laughing for so long just now, the muscles on his face were a little stiff.

It's good that Zhou Yun didn't come at this time, he can still do some psychological construction.Wei Shiyi prepared for a long time last night, but he didn't expect that he was still a little nervous when he entered the Zhou Mansion, and this nervousness was unconscious, no matter how he tried to build up his mind, he couldn't suppress it.

Seemingly knowing that Wei Shiyi was a little nervous, Zhou Yun didn't show up until a while later. At that time, Wei Shiyi was no longer so nervous, and on the surface it seemed that he could still have a normal conversation with Zhou Yun.

"Yu Hou, I want to ask what you said to Mr. Wang that day." Wei Shiyi didn't talk nonsense, and got into the topic as soon as he came.

Zhou Yun didn't answer right away, but pointed to the snack in Wei Shiyi's hand, and said, "You came so early, have you had breakfast, let's talk about it earlier."

Hearing this, Wei Shiyi almost didn't tell me that I wasn't hungry, but in the end he held back, took two pieces of snacks and swallowed them with tea, and then said that he was full.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun didn't force it, so he recounted what he and Wang Anshi had said that day, "I went to see Mr. Wang that day, not because of my own personal affairs, but because of the official family. You still don't want to go? Remember the question I asked you that day?"

Wei Shiyi nodded, he still remembered that Zhou Yun asked him a question that day: Why did the officials summon Mr. Wang back.

At that time, Wei Shiyi wondered if it had something to do with Wang Anshi's political reform and the reform of the Great Song Dynasty. It was precisely because of this that he kept this matter in his heart.

Seeing that Wei Shiyi nodded, Zhou Yun continued, "Actually, the officials called Mr. Wang back to make the Song Dynasty rich and powerful. Back then, when the officials were still young, they once read an article by Mr. Wang. The article wrote some strategies to make the Song Dynasty prosperous and powerful, but because Mr. Wang left a bad impression on Emperor Renzong at that time, so he denied that strategy."

"The official ascended the throne. He is different from Emperor Renzong. He is young and vigorous, has many ideas, and because he lived in the folk for a while when he was young, he has a better understanding of the current situation of the Song Dynasty. You and I know the current situation of the Song Dynasty. It was internal troubles and external troubles, and the officials didn't know about it, so he summoned Mr. Wang back with several imperial decrees."

Wei Shiyi's heart beat faster.

Zhou Yun continued: "That's why when I went to Mr. Wang that day, I conveyed the official's meaning to him in a vague way."

Although Song Shenzong is the most honorable person in the Song Dynasty, reform is not a small matter, so he can't call Wang Anshi into the palace to talk with great fanfare. If he wants to reform, he needs to prepare, so he calls Zhou Yun to be the mouthpiece.

"Then..." Wei Shiyi's mouth was dry, and he asked, "And then?"

Zhou Yun hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "Mr. Wang agreed."

Wei Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, but then he breathed out again, Wang Anshi's reform...was about to begin.The next is the more important moment, you can't make a single mistake, otherwise the reform will fail, and there will be nothing left.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Shiyi said, "Then do you know when it will start?"

Zhou Yun shook his head lightly, "I don't know."

Wei Shiyi thought for a while, and then said: "If it starts, can you send someone to notify me?"

Zhou Yun stared straight at Wei Shiyi, looked at his obsidian-like eyes, and said after a long time: "Yes."

"Thank you." Wei Shiyi's tense body relaxed.

Next, Zhou Yun talked to Wei Shiyi a lot about the reform, perhaps because Wei Shiyi told him straight to the point about the crisis of the Song Dynasty, so even though the reform has a great impact now, Zhou Yun didn’t hide much. On the contrary, it felt like discussing with Wei Shiyi.

This talk continued until the afternoon, during which Wei Shiyi had lunch at Zhou Yun's place, and did not leave until the afternoon.

After Wei Shiyi left Zhou's mansion, he suddenly thought that getting along with Zhou Yun didn't seem to be nervous at all today.
