Return to the Song Dynasty

Days passed, and Zhao Bi was recovering better and better. Even the Empress Dowager couldn't stop praising Zhao Bi for being blessed, and his mind became brighter and brighter.Imperial Physician Liu, who was in charge of treating Zhao Bi at the Imperial Hospital, was also honored and received a lot of rewards.This made Imperial Physician Liu feel delusional, almost thinking that Hua Tuo was alive.

"Teacher, I can't write this character well." Zhao Bi became more active in Wen Shi Zhai, and he also communicated with the teacher and classmates.Sometimes I even take the initiative to invite my classmates to have snacks together.

"Well, which word, let the teacher take a look." Su Shi walked to Zhao Bi's table in a few steps, and heard that the students in the studio were all elites. Except for Zhao Bi, Su Shi really didn't need to pay too much attention to other students.

Watching Su Shi teach Zhao Bi how to write, the trustworthy Zhao Ji hurriedly stretched his head over, wanting to see how difficult it is for the emperor to write characters that he can't write well.

Today, teacher Su Shi asked everyone to copy some Tang poems they like, which not only practiced calligraphy, but also deepened everyone's impression of Tang poems.What Zhao Bi copied was Wang Zhihuan's "Out of the Frontier", saying that the poorly written characters were exactly the "Qiang" characters in "Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows".

'No, Brother Huang, how many times have you written this poem, and you still can't write the word "Qiang" well?What about cheating ghosts? 'Zhao Ji secretly rolled his eyes.

Zhao Ji didn't know what happened to the emperor brother. Ever since his head "has almost recovered", he has been pestering his teacher Su Shi. He even asked himself once, can he ask the teacher for an autograph?Zhao Ji was taken aback for a while, and almost felt that Zhao Bi was really stupid this time. 'Well, brother Huang is looking for another chance to enjoy the teacher's private care, I don't know how beautiful it is. '

Su Shi has been feeling depressed recently, and there is no other reason. Since he returned to the imperial court, he thought he could do something and show off his ambitions, but in the end, he hit a wall everywhere. After the death of Sima Xiang, his situation is even more difficult. There is also the name of the prince's teacher, if not, I guess I have been demoted again, right? "Alas~" Thinking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and the hand that taught Zhao Bi to write also paused.

"Huh? What's the matter, teacher?" Zhao Bi raised her face, blinked, and there was concern in her eyes.

"Teacher just remembered something, it's nothing." Su Shi felt warm when he saw Zhao Bi looking up at his cute face. "Come on, the teacher will teach you to write another poem. Do you like Li Bai's poems..." The teacher is playing tricks again, Zhao Ji sighed.

After school, Zhao Bi and Zhao Ji stayed in Liuyunxuan again. "Chicken, why do you think the teacher always sighs?" Zhao Bi rested his chin on one hand, and knocked on the table restlessly with the other hand.

"If you don't call me a chick, I'll tell you." Zhao Ji said while gnawing on a peach.

"If you don't tell, don't tell. Isn't it because the teacher's official career is not satisfactory, who doesn't know." Zhao Yu gave Zhao Ji a disdainful look.

"I know you still ask me. I heard from my mother that the teacher has offended many adults. Last time, the teacher had the opportunity to go to the Privy Council, but Master Li and Master Zhang jointly opposed it, and finally let it go. I heard that the teacher's character It's kind of like that, um...how should I put it." Zhao Ji scratched his head, not thinking of how to describe it.

"It's just to offend people. The teacher is too straightforward. Can he be an official? Don't all officials have to be slick? Why is the teacher so weird? It's not bad to be a teacher. You said the teacher is so If it goes on, is something going to happen?" Zhao Yu was a little worried.

"Well, it's a bit of a mystery. I heard that two years ago, someone suggested that the teacher be released. Now the teacher has no real job. If something goes wrong, it will be hard to tell."

"With the teacher's temperament, it's really... very difficult to not make any mistakes." Zhao Yu raised his forehead.After Su Shi became Zhao Bi's teacher, Zhao Bi kept observing Su Shi carefully out of admiration for a generation of literary heroes, and always asked Zhao Ji to tell himself some things that happened to Su Shi in the previous dynasty. As a teacher, he really... is really not suitable for being an official.

It is understandable to say that the teacher invited him to be released for the first time because he had different political views with Wang Anshi.The political views are different. The radical faction of Wang Anshi (named by Zhao Yu) was in power at the time, and you, Su Shi, had to go to the school to oppose it, and of course it would not be good.But now that the Conservative Party is in power, and they have specially transferred you back to the capital, why are you still not dealing with them?Alas, teacher, can't you restrain yourself a bit.

But if you want to talk about the character of the teacher, then there is really nothing to say.Su Shi is upright and fair, as can be seen from Zhao Bi pretending to be a fool to enter school.

Not only did Su Shi not ignore Zhao Bi, but he often paid special attention to and took care of Zhao Bi.He took special care of Zhao Bi, who was slow to respond, and often gave him a small lesson. He always explained to Zhao Bi repeatedly when he was studying poetry, hoping that Zhao Bi could really learn it.Because of this, Zhao Bi saw that Su Shi was in trouble now, and always wanted to help him.

"Chicken, didn't you say that the teacher has always missed the person who wrote "When Will the Bright Moon Come?"?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Huang, what do you want to do?" Zhao Ji regained his energy when he heard this, and hurried to Zhao Bi's side.Hehe, whenever he saw Zhao Bi's expression, Zhao Ji knew that Zhao Bi was playing tricks again.

"I haven't said what I'm doing, why are you so excited." Zhao Bi pushed Zhao Ji's head away, "I was just thinking, if the person who wrote "When Will the Moon Come" wants to be a pen pal with the teacher, Do you think the teacher can agree?"

"Pen pal? Ah, Brother Huang, you mean writing letters?"

"Right, it's definitely not going to work for us to persuade the teacher. If the teacher likes a mysterious talent, then it's not necessarily true." Zhao Yan propped his chin and smiled slyly.

"Brother Huang, can you not put gold on your face. But this method may work."

"However, little chicken, I have to trouble you about this matter."

"Me, what do you want me to do?"

"Being a messenger, didn't you tell the teacher last time? Of course you were the one to deliver the letter." Zhao Bi spread his arms, and Zhao Ji appointed him to nod.

So one day after school, Zhao Ji procrastinated until the last to leave, and mysteriously slipped a letter to Su Shi, saying that it was given to him by the talented man Su Shi had always wanted to befriend.

Su Shi was stunned for a while before he realized that this should be the genius who wrote "When Will the Bright Moon Come" before.Su Shi really wanted to make friends before. After all, someone who can write such words and sentences must be a very talented person, but no matter how you ask Zhao Ji, if the Eleventh Prince doesn’t say anything, Su Shi can’t, it’s just because he doesn’t want to. See yourself.Why did you write to yourself again today?Su Shi was at a loss, and wanted to ask Zhao Ji, but he had already run away.

'Well, let's see what you write.I, Su Shi, have nothing to worry about, and I have nothing to gain from others. Su Shi laughed at himself while unfolding the letter paper.I was looking at it casually, but I couldn't take my eyes away from the letter paper, so I could only let the uncontrollable tears drip onto the letter paper, blurring a piece of ink.

Only a few sentences were written on the letter paper.

To Master Dongpo:

Laymen, do you still remember the old Huangzhou Dongpo Snow Hall?Do you remember the state of mind at that time?

Why did the layman call himself Dongpo?

I thought it came from a song "Bu Dongpo".

Step up the east slope,

Walking up the east slope in the evening,

What is Dongpo's love?

Love this young tree.

Since the layman has such a state of mind, why should he imitate that mediocre person and disturb him without having anything to do?

'Indeed, I am really a mediocre person. When I was demoted to Huangzhou and had no food and clothing, I was able to let go of my arms and face everything openly.Now it's just some trivial matters in the court, why can't you look down on it so much?A lot of things just go with the flow.Don't be confused by your heart, don't be trapped by your emotions.Isn't this exactly my mentality at the time?The onlookers are so clear, and I am really a fan of the authorities...'

After school the next day, Zhao Bi received a reply letter from Zhao Ji:

Yu Maosai suddenly realized what he said.As an official and a person, Yu Jun has tried his best, but his strength is insufficient, which is not what Yu wants.From now on, Yu Ding will not give in to Dongpo's wishes, and will follow the trend in everything, only seeking peace of mind.

Signature: Layman Dongpo

After reading Su Shi's reply, Zhao Yu knew that this teacher would no longer take the initiative to participate in the dispute between the old and new factions in the court, and he probably would not be foolish to be the first bird again.

But becoming a pen pal with the teacher is really a feeling, Zhao Bi will not give up this great opportunity.So poor Zhao Ji had to be a free messenger again and again.In his own words, he is a homing pigeon that does not need to be fed.

Su Shi's mood has improved a lot in the past few days, and even Liu Yu (Zhao Bi's classmate, see Chapter 3) can see the bandit face.

The teacher is in a good mood, and the little guys in Wenshizhai are more active.If you want to say why Su Shi is in a good mood, of course it is because of Zhao Bi, a "gentleman of modesty" pen pal.

The two have changed from addressing your step and layman from the beginning to "little friend" and "mister".Su Shi always felt that in the seemingly calm tone of the other party, there was always some youthful escape, so he jokingly called the other party a little friend.The other party did not object, but called Su Shi a gentleman instead.

The contents of the letters also changed in various ways, including life attitudes, poems, health preservation, and even discussed the cooking method of Dongpo pork. Zhao Yu also provided Su Shi with many novel food recipes...

The adults in the court found that the provocative Su Shi suddenly became quiet. He hadn't objected to anyone for a long time, and he didn't ask to do this or that.He devoted himself to teaching and educating people, rarely participated in major affairs in the court, and concentrated on teaching in Wenshizhai.

Su Shi's move made his younger brother Su Zhe also heave a sigh of relief. Su Zhe was worried about Su Shi for a while, and his hair fell out a lot. Based on what he knew about his brother, his brother was probably about to get out of the basket at that time. .But who would have expected the twists and turns, the stubborn donkey brother actually figured it out by himself!This is really going to burn incense to restore gods, burn incense to restore gods!
