Chapter 75 Yuan Baoer

Su Yun saw the girl staring at him blankly, and he felt a little amused. He said, "My dear lady, I am Su Yun. What can I do for you?"

The girl came back to her senses, but she didn't feel shy. She said with joy, "I have good taste. You are indeed Jiangyou Su Lang. You are so handsome!"

Su Che frowned immediately when he heard this. It was true that such a singing girl who came from a brothel was so unruly.

Su Shi was smiling. Although he scolded Su Yun for going to the brothel, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

He had several concubines of his own, and one of them, Wang Zhaoyun, was a singing girl who performed at a banquet he attended in Hangzhou.

He even wrote a poem to express his love for her. Well, it's the one that says: "The water is bright and beautiful when the weather is fine, and the mountains are misty and beautiful when it rains." If I were to compare the West Lake to Xi Shi, she would look beautiful with light or heavy makeup.

Although it seems to be about West Lake, it actually expresses Su Shi's heart-stirring feelings when he first met Wang Zhaoyun.

The sad thing is, Wang Chaoyun was only twelve years old at that time.

brute.

For such a beast...ah, no, for such a romantic literati, this is nothing.

Therefore, Su Shi's concern about Su Yun's visit to the brothel was simply that he was worried that young people's will might be corrupted by exposure to it too early, rather than thinking that it was an unforgivable evil.

Su Yun heard the girl's words and smiled, "So what are you doing here, young lady?"

The girl raised her head slightly and said, "I am the maid of Zhang Qinghe, the owner of Qinghe Garden in Jiujiang Tower. My name is Yuan Baoer.

My young lady is very interested in you and asked me to collect the poems you have written.

I asked many people, and there were only three poems.

One is "Linjiangxian" written in Linjiang Tower, one is "Changxiangsi" written in Lihua Garden, and the other is "Huanxisha" which you wrote to plead for Mr. Zhang. I can't find out about the rest.

But you said in your petition that you had also written a poem about divination, but no one knew about it.

I have been entrusted with such an important task by the young lady, how can I go back empty-handed? So I thought I might as well go to the original owner and say hello."

Su Zhe looked at Su Yun and said, "Besides Bu Suan Zi, have you written other lyrics? And what is Jiang You Su Lang?"

Yuan Baoer laughed and said, "Who is this old gentleman? How come he is so ignorant?"

Faced with Yuan Baoer's rudeness, Su Zhe snorted.

According to the agreement between the two brothers in Chenzhou, he took the two families, young and old, boarded a ship from Nandu, passed the Bian River, went to Huaiyang, passed Jinling, and went up the river. He first left his family in Jiujiang and escorted his sister-in-law, nephew and others to Huangzhou.

He was in a hurry to travel along the way, and later met Su Mai in Jinling. He learned about the incident of Chunfeng Ridge from Su Mai. Therefore, he only knew that Su Yun wrote a divination poem, but knew nothing about other things.

Seeing Yuan Baoer being rude, Su Yun quickly scolded him, "Don't be rude, this is my uncle!"

Yuan Baoer exclaimed, "It turns out to be Mr. Su. My apologies, my apologies."

Su Yun said: "This is my uncle Su Zhe, and this is my uncle Su Shi, so don't make a mistake.

My uncle Su Che came from the north and has just arrived in Huangzhou, so he naturally doesn’t know what happened in Huangzhou.”

Yuan Baoer tilted his head and said with a smile: "So that's how it is, Mr. Su..."

Su Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Yuan Baoer, my uncle is young and strong, he can't be called an old gentleman, don't talk nonsense." Yuan Baoer giggled and said, "I was wrong, I apologize to Mr. Su."

Su Zhe was not really angry and just snorted.

Yuan Baoer smiled and said, "Since Mr. Su doesn't know, I'll tell you about it.

I don't know much about Jiangyou Su Lang, but I heard some time ago that there was a young man in Huangzhou who was very filial and righteous and was believed to be from the Song Dynasty.

Some people even say that Su Lang is more handsome than the four most handsome men in ancient times. Therefore, some people call him Jiangyou Su Lang. This is the origin of Jiangyou Su Lang.

As for Linjiangxian, it was written by Mr. Su in Linjiang Tower. I will read the whole poem to you: The Yangtze River rolls eastward, and the waves...”

Yuan Baoer was an excellent eloquent person. He recited the whole poem of Linjiangxian in a rapid succession. The more Su Zhe listened, the more shocked he became. He looked at Su Yun and then at Su Shi. Su Shi nodded to him.

Before he could speak, Yuan Baoer continued to speak: "... This is the poem Linjiangxian, and the poem Changxiangsi: A journey of mountains and rivers..."

As Yuan Baoer finished reciting the poem "Chang Xiang Si", Su Che's expression became more surprised.

But it wasn't over yet, Yuan Baoer recited the poem Huan Xi Sha again, and then Yuan Baoer laughed: "... That's all, I only know these three poems, I came here today to ask for the poem by Bu Suanzi."

Su Yun quickly asked, "Is that it?"

Yuan Baoer's eyes turned and he said, "Also, can you go to Qinghe Garden and sit for a while..."

Seeing Su Yun frowning, she immediately said, "...Don't worry, I won't charge you any money. I'll take care of this matter for my young lady."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Can you remember the word 卜算子 orally?"

Yuan Baoer was about to nod, but immediately shook her head and said, "I'm just a little maid, and my memory is very bad."

Su Yun understood the little maid's thoughts very well. She just wanted to get his calligraphy. But it didn't matter. He ordered Ah Hui to grind the ink, and quickly wrote the teacher's word "卜算子", and then handed it to Yuan Baoer.

Yuan Baoer took it with great care, but still unwillingly asked, "When are you going to Qinghe Garden?"

Su Yun stretched out his hand to snatch back the calligraphy, but Yuan Baoer ran away in fear, shouting, "You must go, it's free, and there are delicious food and drinks. Also, my sister is very beautiful, and you two standing together will be a perfect match..."

"How dare you! Why are you talking nonsense!" Su Zhe finally couldn't help but scold, and Yuan Baoer was so scared that he ran away.

Seeing that Yuan Baoer ran away, Su Zhe glared at Su Yun and said, "Don't you want to explain to me? Then tell me now!"

Su Zhe was angry, but Su Yun was not in a hurry and told the story slowly.

It mainly tells the story of Su Shi asking Li Chang to take him to Huaixi. Li Chang forced Su Shi to do so by saying that his talent was better than Han Zhongxian's. Su Shi was unwilling to become an official, so he resorted to this bad strategy in order to protect himself.

During this period, he interspersed other things that happened during his days in Huangzhou. Although Su Yun did not deliberately exaggerate, his experiences in Huangzhou were indeed quite legendary.

Whether it was the three brothers Su Che and Su Mai in the hall, or Wang Runzhi and others who were eavesdropping in the side room, they were all listening attentively.

Su Mai sighed repeatedly, regretting that he had missed so many wonderful things.

As Su Che listened, his anger gradually subsided, but he was still confused and said, "Ah Yun, why are you so reluctant to pursue a career in politics?

Even if you don't want to be an official, but your life and property are at stake, why would you want to go to Lord Li?"
