In view of the poor traffic level in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Ministry of Officials gave Murong Fu enough time to go to Xiping, and this also gave him enough time to settle all the affairs in the capital.

Before leaving the capital, the first thing Murong Fu had to do was to take the four scholars of Sumen to visit the editor-in-chief of "Bianjing Times".The carriage came all the way to Xiangguo Temple and stopped in front of a house far away from the crowd. After the five people got off the carriage, Huang Tingjian looked up and saw a brand new house plate with the words "Bianjing Times Editorial Department" written in large characters. Hanging to the left of the gate.

"This is the main site of the "Bianjing Times". There is a lot of people around Xiangguo Temple. This place is chosen for the convenience of others to contribute. Oh, I forgot to tell the seniors that the "Bianjing Times" has From the beginning of the period, we will officially accept contributions from all parties, and the manuscript fee will be favorable." Murong Fu said while leading several people in.After a few people glanced at the layout of the entire editorial department, they finally came to the editor-in-chief's office.

There were more than ten young scholars waiting in the editor-in-chief's office. When they saw Huang Tingjian appearing, they clapped their hands together and said, "I've met the editor-in-chief."

Huang Tingjian has long admired the editor-in-chief of "Bianjing Times", and the main purpose of today's trip is to visit the editor-in-chief.At this time, seeing these young scholars in the room actually call him the chief editor, he couldn't help looking at Murong Fu in astonishment.

Murong Fu smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, before today, "Bianjing Times" did not have a real editor-in-chief. Usually, I set the theme of each issue and everyone created it collectively. But after today, the position of editor-in-chief has belonged ——It’s Senior Brother!”

As soon as Murong Fu finished speaking, the dozen or so young scholars couldn't wait to come forward and express their opinions.

"Master Editor-in-Chief, I am the editor of the social edition, Zhou Choi. There are a lot of news on the social edition, and I request two more pages."

"Next is Li Muzhai, the editor of the current affairs page! The current affairs page is the foundation of "Bianjing Times". If you want to add it, you must add us first!"

"Next is Qian Datong, the editor of the advertising page. Without advertising revenue, everyone should go to Northwest Wind. I firmly oppose the compression of the advertising page!"

"Vulgar! Unbearably vulgar! Editor-in-Chief, I am the editor of the Educational Edition..."

It was half an hour after Huang Tingjian sent away the dozen or so eloquent editors who were jumping up and down.He turned to Murong Fu who was leisurely drinking tea with Qin Guan and others with an angry face, gritted his teeth and said, "What's going on?"

Murong Fu put down his teacup casually, and said casually: ""Bianjing Times" was originally owned by my younger brother. Before Senior Brother Huang went to Beijing, he couldn't find a suitable candidate, so the position of editor-in-chief has been suspended for a long time. My younger brother will go to Beijing soon. Xining is taking up the post, and among all the brothers, only Brother Huang is knowledgeable, literary, and calm, and is the most suitable for the post of editor-in-chief, if you don’t come here, who else can you ask for?”

Huang Tingjian didn't speak for a long time, his originally dark complexion turned blue and red for a while.He is a person with a calm and straightforward temperament, and he really can't stand Murong Fu's teasing.

Murong Fu looked at his words, and seemed to see his displeasure, and said sadly: "Senior brother doesn't seem to be happy?... Forget it, little brother, let's think of other ways. At worst, this newspaper can only be closed down."

Huang Tingjian knew that most of what Murong Fu said was false, but he himself was really happy with the existence of the newspaper, so he didn't dare to bet on this possibility.I endured and endured, and finally squeezed out a sentence. "I am willing...I am willing to be the editor-in-chief."

Murong Fu got up immediately when he heard the words, and said: "Thank you, senior brother!" After a pause, he said again. "Brother, although we are regarded as the Shu party by Liu Zhi, Cheng Yi, etc., my newspaper has no party affiliation. This is the reason for accepting contributions openly. As long as the words are reasonable, no matter who the contributors are, we will It should be noted that words can only be invincible if they are the voice of the people."

Huang Tingjian turned pale after hearing the words "words are the voice of the people", and said euphemistically, "Why didn't Akashi ask me to be the editor-in-chief earlier? Instead, he lied to me, saying that he was recommending the editor-in-chief for me, and taught me to be happy in vain." It's hard for me to write a que to make friends with the editor-in-chief, but now I can only put it in my poetry collection.

"Mingshi is still young, so how can he be considerate? Now it is very good." Among the five people present, Zhang Lei was the most generous, and he smiled to smooth things over for Murong Fu.The longer Zhang Lei gets along with Murong Fu, the more he feels that Murong Fu is as innocent as his teacher.The only difference is that Su Shi is generally pure and sincere to everyone, but Murong Fu is only true to those who are really close and trustworthy.

Murong Fu smiled again and bowed his hands to Zhang Lei, then said: "There is one more thing, I am asking Senior Brother Zhang for help."

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, I've already taken care of the teacher's residence. Based on my understanding of the teacher and the uncle, they will probably live together in the residence. In this way, the house that was originally prepared for the uncle will be completely empty. So I thought, Can it be used for other purposes? Of course, the house still belongs to the uncle. I plan to build a library named "Dongpo Pavilion" to gather books from all over the world for the world to read. I would like to ask my brother to take care of the management of the library. What do you think, brother?" Murong Fu said seriously.

"Library? Gathering the world's books for the world to read? A good thing! Brother, this is a good thing!" Nowadays, there are some scholars in the scholarly community who collect books according to their preferences, but most of them are only for private reading and do not borrow from others, let alone "free of charge". "Two words.Zhang Lei has intensively studied knowledge since he was a child, and Murong Fu asked him to manage this library that can be borrowed publicly. How could Zhang Lei have any reason to refuse? "Although the royal family also has a library, but after all, the gates are strictly controlled, and not everyone can go there. The younger brother can run this library for free to educate the common people, and it will be a great achievement!"

"How can a senior brother say that the ground is so important? It's just to make the teacher happy. Originally, the uncle's house was adjacent to the teacher's prime minister's mansion. Then I will order someone to open a corner door... The teacher has always been my favorite. Chatting with scholars and discussing knowledge.” Murong Fu did not dare to take credit for the so-called “education of the common people, which will last forever”, but his purpose was to win the hearts of scholars for Su Shi through this library. "The management strategy of the library has been sorted out by the little brother, and I will show it to the senior brother someday. In terms of money, the senior brother doesn't have to be frugal. Although the little brother is not as knowledgeable as others, he still has some experience in economics."

When Murong Fu mentioned the word "economy", Qin Guan immediately shouted: "Ming Shi, my "Complete Tang Poems"..."

"I'm going to Xining soon, and I can only entrust Senior Brother Qin and Senior Brother Chao to compile the "Full Tang Poetry". As for Brother Qin's consumption in the brothel Chuguan..." Murong Fu sighed with extreme complexity in his heart. Qin Guan If you are an upright gentleman, there is no "two feelings if they are long-lasting", and there is no "going to a small building in the cold".But Murong Fu felt uncomfortable always paying money to a prostitute, so he could only try to persuade him: "If the teacher is already in the official position, those of us who are students have already been regarded as teachers by the world." The party. The so-called one is prosperous, the other is lost, and the other is lost. What do senior brothers usually do for entertainment, and younger brothers don’t ask. But don’t forget, the reward of eating the king is the worry of being loyal to the king.”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, everyone fell silent.We are all people in the officialdom, so naturally we all have the dream of helping the world's officials to the top.Now that their mentor, Su Shi, is an official to the right, it can be regarded as giving them a very high starting point, and everyone doesn't want to play it off at this time.Otherwise, if you climb high and fall heavily, you will never have room to turn around.

Huang Tingjian is the oldest and most prestigious among the four Sumen scholars. He nodded immediately and said, "Akashi is right. Now that there are internal and external troubles, I don't know how many people are staring at the teacher's mistakes. We students should be more cautious. Be cautious. Travel less, your unnecessary pastimes should be stopped in moderation."

"In my opinion, nowadays the public opinion has the "Bianjing Times", and the teacher's reputation among scholars has always been extremely high. As long as the teacher manages the government properly, it is not very dangerous, right?" Seeing Qin Guan's sluggish expression, Chao Buzhi hurriedly changed the subject .

"When government orders are issued, the key still depends on their implementation. As long as they are implemented properly, no one can turn black and white to deceive the saints with the "Bianjing Times". Worried." Murong Fu also smiled and comforted them.

"Exactly!" Qin Guan immediately regained his prestige when he heard the words, and said with confidence. "As long as I handle my business properly, shouldn't it be up to my preferences to do what I like to do? As the saying goes, real celebrities are romantic..."

Qin Guan has such a temperament, what else can Murong Fu and the other four have to say?They could only let out a long sigh in unison, helplessly supporting their foreheads.

Time flies, and one month later, Murong Fu finally explained the business in the capital and set off for Xiping.Su Shi didn't say much, but sent him all the way out of the city.

"Fourth brother Feng has a straightforward personality and is not sociable. He will go back to Shanghai for shipping after he finishes the library. At that time, I will transfer third brother Bao to be the teacher's housekeeper. The thirty warriors around me will be Leave it to the teacher and fellow seniors, with their protection, I feel more at ease when the teacher travels.

"As for Bieye, after Bao Sange goes to Beijing, he will take care of it. The teacher only needs to think about the theme of each banquet and lecture. If the teacher is busy with state affairs and lacks skills, several senior brothers can come to the stage Lectures and exchanges. This is a prosperous age of culture and education. In the future, not only scholars will come to listen to lectures and exchanges, but also ordinary people will come to listen to lectures and exchanges. Teachers must be more cautious when giving lectures.

"I have already invited Dr. Yu Fangyu, a famous doctor from Bianjing, to work in Xiangfu. Gan'er has been weak since he was a child, and the teacher's stomach is not good. Dr. Yu will take care of him slowly. Teacher must listen to the doctor!

"Master Li Gefei has a female named Qingzhao, who is about the same age as Gan'er, and she is said to be very intelligent, clever and dexterous, the teacher may as well find time to meet her.

"Yuyan and Azhu Abi, I will entrust them to the teacher. When I arrive in Xiping, I will write back every month, so the teacher doesn't have to worry.

"Before I go to Xiping, I will go to Shanghai first, does the teacher have anything to say to Mike?

"Teacher, I will send you off for thousands of miles, and I will have to say goodbye..."

Seeing that he had already walked several miles outside the city, it would be dark if he didn't look back.Su Shi finally sighed softly, handed back the rein of the horse that had been in his hand to Murong Fu, and patted him on the shoulder wordlessly.People are not grass and trees, not to mention that Su Shi's emotions have always been more abundant than others.The student Yuanfeng recognized for three years, seven years passed in the blink of an eye.He had seen Murong Fu's sly and lazy expression, he personally crowned Murong Fu, and wrote poems and songs for him in high school. Murong Fu's cousin became his second daughter-in-law, and his younger brother was named by Murong Fu. He is a master uncle, not Xiao Su's bachelor... The relationship between him and Murong Fu is not only a master and a student, but also a father and son.

The sound of horseshoes gradually increased, Su Shi raised his head and glanced at Qiao Feng who was going to accompany Murong Fu to Xiping, and said softly: "Qiao Zhuangshi, I will give you the bright stone." But he left all the people he needed around him to himself, only Qiao Feng would accompany him.

Qiao Feng knew very well that Murong Fu's martial arts were excellent, but he really couldn't understand Su Shi's sorrow of parting.Seeing the sad look on the bachelor's face, he rolled off the horse with great cooperation, cupped his hands and said: "Scholar, don't worry! There is a junior here, and I will protect Murong Zhouquan."

"That's good, that's good..." Su Shi choked up and nodded, and finally took another look at Murong Fu. "Remember to come back from the letter, as a teacher... let's go!" He lowered his head and took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and blew his nose hard, then turned his head and boarded the carriage, turned around and left.

Qiao Feng was as confused as Zhang Er King Kong, until the smoke and dust in the carriage that Su Shi was riding in cleared, he returned to God and said, "Murong, shall we set off now?"

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, another carriage came from the city not far away, billowing in smoke and dust.A shrill male voice shouted loudly from the car: "Master Murong! Please stay, Master Murong!"

Su Shi wept all the way back to the city. His wife and younger brother had already packed their luggage and moved into Su Xiang's mansion early in the morning. Only he insisted on seeing Murong Fu off first, and he hadn't seen his new residence yet.

After finally holding back her tears, she got off the carriage and entered the new residence.Only a few steps away, Su Shi suddenly stopped in doubt and looked around.Murong Fu's taste has always been elegant and extravagant, and Su Shi has long been mentally prepared to welcome a prime minister's mansion with carved beams and paintings.But now it seems that this Xiangfu is not very luxurious. On the contrary, the layout makes Su Shi vaguely feel a little familiar, but it is specious.

Su Shi was puzzled in his heart when his younger brother Su Zhe suddenly ran towards him with wild laughter and shouted, "Brother, this is Meishan! This is our hometown in Meishan! Look, every tree and plant This house, this layout...Brother, I want to move here to live with you!" It turns out that the most special part of this Su Xiangfu is that it was originally an enlarged version of Su Shi's hometown in Meishan, Sichuan, with every plant and every tree Every brick and tile is the original appearance in Su Shi's memory.

Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers have never been back since they went to Beijing to rush for the exam, except to help their father's coffin back to the hometown for burial.In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 years.The younger brother Su Zhe was yelling and running around excitedly, while the older brother Su Shi had mixed feelings and burst into tears again.

The scene was in chaos, and the temporary housekeeper of Su Xiangfu, Feng Bo, hurried in again and said, "Sir, Mrs. Li Gefei and his daughter are here to meet you outside." He has left a great name in history, and the world praises him as "the heir of poetry, It was at this time that Li Qingzhao, a poetess of the generation who was a prime minister with hairpin rings and a hero among women, stepped into the residence of her future father-in-law.

The author has something to say:

Su Shi: Qiao Zhuangshi, I entrusted Akashi to you.

Director: At this moment, I suddenly miss @宝思半.expensive!lock up!real!chaos!

Murong: ...
