Chapter 46 Brothers meet but do not know each other
Chapter 46 Brothers don’t know each other when they meet
Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered something, and then he said to the servants in the hall, "Are there any guests waiting in the hall? Let him in quickly..."
The servant responded and soon brought a young man in. It was the man he had seen in the front hall when he came in just now.【】
The man glanced at the hall and saw that Mr. Sheng was also there. He couldn't help but feel happy. Just as he was about to salute and speak, Mr. Zhou spoke first with a sullen face, "Please find a place to sit down. I have something to ask you..."
The man couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't know what happened. He didn't even give him a chance to speak... He sat down below Su San... Zhou Lao glanced at Su San, then at Sheng Lao, and finally turned his gaze
Falling on Su Yi, he asked with a stern expression, "That naughty brother of yours is so outrageous..."
Su Yi was taken aback, and his face became extremely uneasy. He probably knew what Su San did at home, but his father's recent letter from home said that Su San had reformed, and he had not heard of any trouble he had caused recently.
...Why did Jigong say these words? Could it be that something big happened in the past few days?
"this……"
"You don't have to cover up for him. What's not to be learned about that guy? He wants to bet with others. Now he's done it. He actually bets in my house. How do you deal with this?"
When Su heard Zhou Ji's words, he couldn't help but get excited. What's this? Why did he gamble on Jigong's house? He really didn't know whether to live or die... "Jigong, please calm down. The student must teach his brother a lesson when he returns home."
Teach him to correct..."
"Lessons must be learned. Even if you resort to family violence, you can't be lenient. It's just the gambling money..."
"Of course I'll repay you in full..." Su Yi responded quickly... Su San was confused and didn't understand the situation... But unexpectedly, Zhou Ji suddenly turned to him and said, "Well... you heard
Once the money is received, the gambling money must be repaid in full..."
"Ah..." Su San was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses. However, instead of asking Zhou Ji, she stood up and said to Su Yi, "Are you the eldest brother?"
"Brother? Are you Su San?" Su Yi was also surprised and couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Su Yi's expression, Su San knew that it was Su Yi who was suspicious. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "We two brothers are sitting across from each other, but we don't know each other. It's up to two old guys to get rid of the joke..."
Su Yi was a very clever person. When he remembered that Jigong didn't give him a chance to speak when he came in, he knew that Jigong had deliberately performed such a play. It was just that this younger brother of his family had never met Jigong and Sheng Lao.
So familiar? Two old guys? Why didn’t you mention anything about your father’s letter?
Zhou Ji saw the anger on Su San's face and couldn't help laughing proudly. He finally saw that Su San had changed his face... When Su Yi left home, Su San was still young, so of course Zhou Ji knew this. Su Yi was waiting in the front hall,
But Su San walked across the hall without recognizing each other, which showed that the two of them were strangers to each other. His brother was right in front of him, but he didn't recognize him. He also had a childlike innocence and couldn't contain it anymore. In addition, Su San co-wrote Sheng Lao.
, squeezed out two jars of his old wine, so he was upset and thought of making such a joke... Mr. Sheng watched the whole process with a smile on his face. Mr. Zhou lost a game first, and now he wanted to
To save the game, although he knew everything, it was not easy to break it... Now it was good, the two were tied. Sheng Lao laughed, in order not to let the atmosphere cool down, but also to divert everyone's thoughts,
He then said, "Annan, you just entered the city..."
Annan is Su Yi's character. When Su Yi saw Sheng Laodong, he asked hurriedly, "The sun rises in front of the capital. I was delayed for some time on the road. I just arrived in Wuling this morning. I went to Sheng's hometown by the East Lake first, but I didn't expect that Sheng
It's a coincidence that I always stay with my mentor..."
"What's going on in the court recently?" Shenglao smiled and asked again.
Su Yi explained the situation of the court in detail, only telling what happened without making any comments... Su San saw the three of them talking and had nothing to do with themselves, so he just stayed aside and listened...
...Su Yi is already forty years old. At this age, he is considered a young and powerful official in the court. He has already known that Su Yi is in the fourth rank and is the Secretary of the Book. This position is only one step away from the senior officials of the third rank.
But because he is affiliated to the Book Province, he can directly reach Tianting, and his authority is extremely great... It's just that he doesn't care about the things that happened in Feng Dynasty. After knowing that the person in front of him is his eldest brother, his heart has returned to normal.
She is always indifferent... Even the real Su San will not have much affection for this elder brother who has no impression. What's more, the fake Su San of course lacks affection for this Su Yi... I'm afraid of Su Yi's
This is generally how I feel about him in my heart.
When he left home, Su San was just a little older. Although they were brothers, they had not been close to each other for so many years, and they had not even spoken to each other. Even if there was blood-related family affection, I am afraid that the real feelings were really indifferent.
Much more... The three of them chatted about state affairs for a while. In fact, they only talked in general terms and did not talk in depth.
Sheng Lao is an old minister who has been out of the country. Although his heart is still in the court, the personnel in the capital have changed, and many things are no longer something he wants to care about.
Judging from the current peaceful situation, if there had not been extreme turmoil, the emperor and the officials in the capital would not have thought that there was a capable minister living in seclusion in Wuling City.
If it takes another seven or eight years, Mr. Sheng will be old. Even if he can return to the capital, he may only be able to do some work similar to that of a consultant for future generations... Mr. Zhou has never held any official position in the feudal dynasty.
His understanding of political affairs is actually very broad. In the final analysis, he actually doesn't care much about it.
As a scholar, he always has the world in mind, so he still needs to know a thing or two about the major events in the world. However, during the conversation, he asked about the current situation of several of his students, mostly questions such as whether any new works have been published.
No matter what the two old men wanted to know, Su Yi certainly didn't know it and couldn't explain it. So they had a long chat, which took a lot of time.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Jigong knew that Su Yi had not returned home yet, so it was inconvenient for Jigong to leave a meal. He ordered new tea, and Su Yi got up to leave... Mr. Zhou and Mr. Sheng got up and sent them to the hall. Zhou Ji smiled and said
, "It's rare for you to come back. I have two jars of fifty years of storage here. You can take it back..." After saying that, without waiting for Su Yici, he waved to the servants to get it... Su Yi was quite moved.
, it is right for students to give gifts to teachers, there is no reason to come to accept generous gifts from teachers... So I was very frightened, but I didn't expect that these two jars of old wine were originally a bet between Jigong and Su San.
Zhou Ji loves face, so today he was tricked by Su San and Gongsun Sheng. Although he lost the agreement, he was unwilling to admit it.
The two jars of old wine had to be brought out, but how could Zhou Ji be willing to take it out so easily? Su Yi happened to be here, and he was half a student again, so he excused himself as giving it to Su Yi, which was an extra favor.
It's better to save some face on a good level than to be laughed at by Su San and Gongsun Sheng.
