Chapter 714: Prostitute

Of course Su You knew what would happen next, but he really didn't want to stop it.

Even if Shen Kuo is gone, there will still be Li Ding and Shu Dan. For this matter, Da Su can only blame himself for not being able to keep his mouth shut, and it is useless to blame Shen Kuo.

What's more, he really couldn't bear to let Su Shi become a smooth bureaucrat and ruin a cultural icon that has influenced future generations for thousands of years.

Jia Dan's complexion described him as a farmer after taking off his scholar's clothes. He handed over to Su You and said, "Jia Dan thanked me for my kindness in mitigating my sin."

Before traveling, Su You petitioned the imperial court to promote Jia Quan to the position of Sinongsi Cheng and Jiangdong transshipment judge in view of his contribution in developing water conservancy in Kunshan.

Su You quickly helped him up: "You're so polite, Mr. Jia. I can get your help, and with Cunzhong's investigation of western Zhejiang, I should be able to rest assured about farming."

Jia Quan was very happy: "The key is to have a scientific and engineering surveying team. The terrain around Kunshan and Taihu Lake is flat, with little ups and downs. Sometimes it is almost impossible. With the scientific and engineering surveying methods and accurate maps, water conservancy project planning has become much easier."

.”

Su Shi interrupted: "Let's put aside government affairs today and let's finish the process first."

Su You was a little confused: "What process?"

Su Shi clapped his hands: "Come up."

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and a group of graceful women came over. The two beautiful women in the lead were deeply blessed, and their sweet voice said softly: "Welcome to the envoys to take up their duties."

Su You understood that this was the custom of welcoming new officials in the Song Dynasty. When a new official takes office, the old officials will send general magistrates to the border of their jurisdiction to greet them, and they will also bring the best official prostitutes and arrange a banquet.

Official prostitutes were also people of culture, and they were extremely familiar with Su Shi. Su Shi even gave them a humorous and weird title, called "Powdered Yuhou", which means smeared civil servants.

Since it was a routine that even Lao Zhang and Lao Zhao could not avoid, Su You had no choice but to watch the beauties perform.

Then I remembered something: "Is Zhou Nan among them?"

Su Shi smiled and said, "Oh? Mingrun also knows his name?"

Su You rolled his eyes at Su Shi: "Mu Zhaonan's transformation, Kong Jibei's group. Call me to see you."

Su Shi waved to the two women leading the team: "Come here."

Two women came over and Su Shi introduced: "Zhou Nan is good at singing and Shao Nan is good at dancing. Together they are called Ernan. They are the best in the county."

Su You nodded: "Miss Zhou Nan, Liangzhe Road Jiaofang Division, how many girls like you are there who want to quit their citizenship? Although Da Su delayed you for two years, he is just a general judge and cannot make the decision himself. You

Don't blame him."

Zhou Nan lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Su You said: "Although he can't do it, I can. I will deregister you immediately."

After saying that, he took out his pen and scribbled down the verdict: "There are tangerine trees in the south. Leave them there and travel around the world. Return to your parents for peace, so that you won't be hurt forever."

The four sentences come from four of the eleven poems in "The Book of Songs: Zhou Nan". Together they mean: "There is a good tree in the south, but it is a pity that it grows beside the road. Go home and visit your parents, so as not to be sad."

Zhou Nan couldn't help but be deeply moved, tears were about to fall, and he choked with sobs: "The slave family thanks Yun Shuai."

Su You took out a poem manuscript from his wallet and said, "Look at this."

Zhou Nan took it, his eyes lit up, and he read it carefully.

“The palace of the Han Emperor was sparsely beautiful, and the Jiaofang Langyuan was still empty.

The four gates galloped out of Chang'an, and the envoys came south to Wushan and north.

Lian'er, whose surname is Wan, is worried about marrying far away, and the matchmakers rush to recruit him.

Fishermen, men, and woodcutters all get wives, and cunning bosses and wise servants are always favored by outstanding officials.

The home mountain was originally in Jingmen, and the four walls were desolate and sparse.

There was nothing he could do to disobey his master's intention, so the prefect came to frighten Yuze.

Three pieces of plain silk are sealed with one piece of silk, which can cut off the flesh and blood forever.

The elder rushed him into the sedan chair and hugged him to leave. The younger brother called to his mother and burst into tears.

The green water is swaying and the boats are flowing, and Pingting is only worried among them.

Looking back at Wushan, beyond the leaden clouds, the rain in the gorge is fighting against the curtains while crossing the river at night.

The people who cross the green vines at night have been gone for a long time, and the wild geese in the wood leaves of Xiangxi River return to autumn.

There are several banging drums in Qinglan Town, and Bailuzhou in the sky is in the corner of the river.

People with plain faces and Zen clothes abandoned the ship, and light cars entered Chang'an.

The towering Jade Tower stands in Paifang City, with its bronze camel pressing majestically against the carved railings.

Three thousand brocades stand on the forest garden, and a hundred-foot star platform catches the dew.

Move it back to Liuxie and cherish it for a long time, and keep it for the king to see."

Then he raised his head: "Is this an imitation of Bai Letian's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"? Is it written by Zhaojun?"

Su You nodded: "I traveled with Wang Xianggong all the way. He composed several songs for Ming concubines, and he inspired me to write poetry."

Zhou Nan opened her beautiful eyes wide: "How come we only have a beginning?"

Su You said: "This is just an introduction that can be regarded as a narration. My idea is to use this poem as a starting point to weave the story of Zhaojun's expedition into a complete structure. The characters in the story, their thoughts, dialogues, and conflicts

Conflicts, narrations...are all expressed through music filled with elegant words and music."

"Then Jiaofangsi performed the story. Characters such as Zhaojun, Emperor Han, and Mao Yanshou were all played by special personnel to portray Zhaojun's joys and sorrows, as well as his feelings about family and country."

"Such attempts were not unheard of in the Song Dynasty, but they were vulgar. They met the needs of rural society and market noise, and were difficult to achieve elegance."

"But if the song you sang today could be connected piece by piece to express the story completely, I think it would be very touching."

Su Shi stroked his beard: "What a great idea! But it's just too much effort."

Su You smiled at Zhou Nan and Shao Nan and said, "I definitely can't do it because I have too many official duties, but you can do it. There are also the literati from the two Zhejiang Roads. You know better than me which talents are of this level."

Zhou Nan was about to cry, but finally mustered up the courage: "The slave family still wants to leave the country."

Su You quickly said: "Of course, this is not to keep you in the Jiaofang Division. I think you can think about this after you quit your citizenship. Otherwise, wouldn't you be living up to what you have learned in your life? By the way, have you heard of Jingzhong Green Ruo?

"

Zhou Nan said in surprise: "Sister Lu Ruo? She is a master of music composition in Beijing. Her song "Spring Garden" is popular in the north and south. How could the Nu family not know about it? I heard that she is married to Zhang Qilang, and her music and music are harmonious, which makes the sisters envious."

Su Shi stroked his palm and smiled and said: "That's right, you can still learn from each other when the time comes! Xiaoqi, bring the bride out to meet you!"

Zhang Qi came out with a smile and raised his hands to Su Shi: "Mr. Da, Lu Ruo has been mumbling for a long time, but she doesn't dare to come out and act arrogantly unless she is favored."

Lu Ruo also saluted: "Mr. Da is so beautiful and handsome. Lu Ruo has long admired him very much. I am very happy to see him today."

Su You smiled and said: "Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, Miss Zhou Nan. With me in Zhejiang, I believe no one will dare to harass you. But you have to hurry up. Luo Fu is married, so naturally he won't be afraid of this.

Already."

Zhou Nan then broke down in tears and smiled. He was not shy and saluted generously: "Thank you, Su Shuai."

A banquet turned into a story about a beautiful woman's deportation. Except for Su Shi's ridicule that Su You was a copywriter, everyone was satisfied with Su Tanhua's literary talents.

When the banquet was about to end, Su Shi said to Su You: "The idea of ​​this drama is very good, but if you want to make it happen, I guess Mingrun, your literary talent is still a little bit behind..."

Showing off literary talent in front of Da Su would only result in being trampled on, so Su You had no choice but to accept the lesson honestly: "How to do it?"

Su Shi said: "I would like to introduce you to two people. One is Chao Buzhi, the son of Chao Duanyou, the magistrate of Qiantang County. This son is smart and has a strong memory. Wang Pingfu was surprised when he first met him."

"This time when his father came to Hangzhou to be an official, he also accompanied him. Along the way, he gathered together people from the beautiful scenery of Qiantang mountains and rivers and wrote the book "Seven Statements"."

"To tell you the truth, I once thought about writing about Qiantang Scenery. His article was really elegant, meaningful, and magnificent. After he showed it to me, I immediately stopped writing it!"

Su You was a little surprised: "So powerful?"

Su Shi said: "This son will definitely become famous in the world in the future. He is now seventeen years old. Mingrun, now you are also a figure. You should help me to advance in the literary world."

Su You nodded with a smile. The person who could be forced to remember by Su Shi definitely had an extraordinary memory. He might be a pervert like Zhang Tianxuan. This person must be captured as a secretary: "Where is the other one?"

Su Shi sighed and said: "There is another one I have only seen once. This kid once pretended to be my style and left poems in Yishan Temple. Later I saw it and I was completely confused."
