Chapter 129 Xiao Li comes to visit
"What? Looking for the prince?"
inside the house.
Hearing what Mr. Xie said.
Lao Su's expression was slightly startled, and his eyes suddenly looked weird when he looked at Xu Yun:
Although Xu Yun has now left his slave status and entered the guest list, falling into the category of "guest", it is normal for someone to find him.
But from a timeline perspective, this happened just yesterday.
When Xu Yun went to Li Mansion to proofread books earlier, he was still an extremely ordinary servant.
Under this premise, Xu Yun could actually let Xiao Li come to his door in person?
Gee, this is interesting.
To know.
Although the status of women in the Song Dynasty was higher than that of many previous dynasties, from the perspective of future generations, it can even be regarded as one of the feudal dynasties with the highest status of women:
Not only can women go out on the streets at will, they can even take the initiative to divorce their husbands and remarry.
But even under such a background, the act of a girl who has not yet left the court to come to the house to look for servants still somewhat challenges ordinary people's inherent concepts.
Not to mention that the person coming was Xiao Li, who was currently very famous in Beijing, which added a bit of subtlety to the whole incident.
Looking at Lao Su who kept looking at him, several black lines suddenly appeared on Xu Yun's forehead.
As a person who is quite knowledgeable.
He knew very well that Xiao Li would never fall in love with him at first sight and come to ask him to go out and enjoy the flowers. If he really had that charm, he wouldn't be single for so long in the future.
So if nothing unexpected happens.
This girl must have come to Lao Su's house to find out about 'science' from her.
The problem of this curious baby, Old Su, hasn't been solved yet, and another little bean sprout came from the other end.
And he still has the kind of character that looks soft but is actually hard

Then Xu Yun took a deep breath and said to Lao Su:
"Sir, when I went to the residence of the Central Attendant a few days ago, I happened to meet Miss Li.
Miss Li didn't dislike us servants either, she even took the initiative to chat about some household matters and asked about the situation in the house.
At that time, the villain casually mentioned some common phenomena, and now it seems that she is probably a little interested.”
"Oh? A common phenomenon?"
When Lao Su heard this, he raised his eyebrows and gave him a meaningful look:
"As common as generators and IVs?"
Xu Yun: "."
Then, before he could answer, Lao Su made a decision for him:
"Right now, Zhengru is alive and well. It's too early for the next dose of medicine. Just leave Zhengchen here to take care of you.
In this case, I will let you go see Qingzhao. This is also the courtesy.
The last time I saw this girl was during the Lantern Festival, and it was sunny. ”
Xu Yun continued:
"."
Although it seemed that Old Su Zuiweng was not interested in drinking, the other party was the head of the family, so there was nothing wrong with his excuse.
Therefore, he could only sigh in his heart, say goodbye to Wang Zhen and Wang Yue for the time being, and obediently followed Lao Su to the vestibule.
As the front door of the Su Mansion, the front courtyard is much more refined than the backyard.
The wood is of high quality, and the courtyard is filled with a faint woody fragrance. The carvings are antique, the plants are luxuriant, and red and green are intertwined.
Together with the chirping birds, people unconsciously have the urge to recite poetry and paint.
So when Xu Yun and Xu Yun came to the reception room in the front courtyard, the girl Xiao Li was
Oh, hold a piece of paper and blow in the air.
Xu Yun:
"."
However, Xu Yun's eyes only stayed on Xiao Li for a few seconds, and then moved to her side.
Enter another person.
That's right.
Besides Xiao Li, there was another person who came to Lao Su's house this time!
This young man, whom Xu Yun had never met, was wearing a purple straight-leg court dress, with a golden silk spider pattern belt of the same color tied around his waist.
Her black hair was tied up and fixed with a jade-gilt crown.
The slender body is straight and straight, and the whole person is handsome and full of innate nobility.
Xu Yun's good gay friend Qiu Sheng is already a handsome young man with good looks, but compared with this person, his appearance is even slightly different.
Tell the truth.
The only people who can control this person's handsomeness are the readers of later generations.
But something is strange.
Such a handsome comparison gives people a somewhat...
decadent?
all in all.
No matter judging from this person's temperament, clothing or position, it is obvious that he cannot be Xiao Li's follower.
If nothing unexpected happens, it is most likely a young master from Beijing.
Wait, Young Master?
Thinking of the three words "Gongzi Brother", a name suddenly appeared in Xu Yun's mind:
Zhao Mingcheng? !
Oh my god, could it be this one?
If Xu Yun remembers correctly.
The relationship between Zhao Mingcheng and Xiao Li can be traced back to the time when they were watching lanterns during the Lantern Festival in 1100 AD.
At first, it was Zhao Mingcheng's unrequited love. Later, after about a year of warming up, they got married in 1101 the following year.
In other words, at this point in time, Xiao Li and Zhao Mingcheng have obviously already crossed paths, but it is unknown how far their relationship has developed.
Considering this girl's character, maybe she will really bring Zhao Mingcheng to Lao Su's house?
Good guy.
We traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty and still had to be fed a mouthful of dog food?
Da da da——
Perhaps he heard the footsteps of Lao Su and Xu Yun.
Xiao Li turned his head subconsciously, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Xu Yun.
Of course.
Although Xiao Li has a flamboyant personality, he still lacks the proper etiquette.
Therefore, even though she had a lot of things to ask Xu Yun in her heart, she still walked to Lao Su first and bowed respectfully:
"Qingzhao met Uncle Su."
Lao Su first nodded politely to her, then with a solemn expression, he curtsied to the man next to Xiao Li:
"Veteran Su Song, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Jian."
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Yun, motioning for him to follow him and salute quickly, and said seriously:
"Xiao Wang, why don't you come and meet His Royal Highness King Jian soon?"
Xu Yun blinked, and after coming back to his senses, he quickly stepped forward, leaned forward slightly, and followed Lao Su in a curtsey:
"Wang Lin, a grass-roots citizen, has met His Royal Highness King Jian."
at the same time.
He was also slightly shocked.
Good guy.
Unexpectedly, the handsome man accompanying Xiao Li was not Zhao Mingcheng, but the rather miserable King Jian?
When talking about the most handsome emperor in history, many people may think of Li Shimin or Yang Guang, while others may think of Liu Xiu or Guangxu.
But if you look at the portraits preserved in history, the most handsome emperor in Chinese history is undoubtedly Song Zhezong Zhao Xu.
Elegant and easy-going, rich and handsome, these eight characters are simply prepared for Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu was the seventh emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. He only reigned for 15 years and was actually in power for only 7 years. He was a young emperor in the standard sense.
With his excellent governance ability, he created the final glory of the Northern Song Dynasty.
He was also the only emperor in the two Song Dynasties who planned to solve the problem of empty military quotas in the Northern Song Dynasty from the root cause.
One point recognized by later generations is:
If he could live to be fifty years old, the Northern Song Dynasty would most likely not have perished—at least not in such a sudden and sudden death.
Some extreme fans even believe that if Zhao Xu had not died so early, he might even have become Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Song Dynasty.
However, there are no what-ifs in the world. Song Zhezong died of illness in February this year at the age of only 25.
Before Zhao Xu died, there were five younger brothers behind him, and three of them were the most likely candidates to inherit the throne:
King Shen Zhao Ji, King Duan Zhao Ji, and
Jian Wang Zhao Si.
Among them, Zhao Ji had an eye problem, so in fact the only ones most likely to inherit the throne were Zhao Ji and Zhao Si.
King Zhao Si of Jian Dynasty and Zhe Zong of Song Dynasty were born to the same mother, Zhu. Therefore, he was also quite handsome and had extraordinary abilities. He made many useful suggestions on issues related to the Qing and Tang Dynasties.
Therefore, a group of ministers led by Prime Minister Zhang Dun at that time insisted on making him emperor.
However, Empress Dowager Xiang was worried that Zhu would endanger her status in the future, so she rejected the proposal and chose to support Zhao Ji's accession to the throne.
It was also at that point in time that Zhang Dun said a famous saying that was widely spread in later generations - or a prophecy:
"King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world."
However, despite his firm attitude towards the Queen Mother, Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, Xu General and others saw the situation and made suggestions, so in the end the throne was still in the hands of Zhao Ji.
Zhang Dun was stabbed in the fourth year of Chongning because his identity as a prophet was exposed, and he became the first unlucky man in history to choke to death after eating bayberry. (Note: There is also a view that bayberry causes death from gastric bleeding due to excess gastric acid)
And with Zhao Ji's accession to the throne, Zhao Si felt very uncomfortable.
After all, there has been a ruthless imperial family since ancient times, and there has been too much blood and evil related to the royal family in history.
To avoid suspicion.
Zhao Si had no choice but to defile himself just like Xiao He, and his temperament changed drastically.
He first resolutely stayed away from the court, began to enjoy life, and indulged in wine and sex.
He often walked through the back door of the palace with his personal entourage, dressed casually, even untidy.
Wandering in the streets, wandering in the tile houses.
Not only that.
He often hangs out with the clan's children and forcibly buys the clan's daughters as concubines.
However, Huizong seemed very generous about this. Not only did he not pursue the matter, he also issued an edict to Yousi and Zongzheng, telling them not to care about Zhao Si, and even gave Zhao Si the title of King Cai.
However, as Empress Dowager Zhu died one after another, Song Huizong began to retaliate against Zhao Si, who had competed for the throne, setting off a prison case in Prince Cai's Mansion:
At that time, someone accused Deng Duo, a minor official in Prince Cai's palace of Zhao Si, of making treasonous remarks. Song Huizong put Deng Duo in prison and arrested a large number of Zhao Si's direct relatives.
The next day at the court, Zuo Si admonished Jiang Gongwang Shangshu to persuade Song Huizong not to kill brothers and not to doubt Zhao Si.
As a result, Jiang Gongwang was dismissed and Deng Duo was executed. Minister Liu Zhengfu continued to plead for Zhao Si, and also cited the fratricidal incident between Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty and King Ju Huainan.
The official history record is that Song Huizong was moved and reconciled with Zhao Si.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Si passed away five years later.
He was only 23 years old, and the cause of death was mentioned in a cursory manner, except for the word "died", which was very suspicious.
Although many experts in later generations felt sorry for Zhao Si's death, they also believed that this proved Zhao Si's ability from the side:
Song Huizong is a well-known faint king in history, but he is not a tyrant. His character can even be described as gentle.
If there is nothing wrong, I like to give amnesty to the world, and assassination is basically the highest punishment.
After all, he is the Emperor of Flowers and Birds. People who like to raise flowers and fight birds are generally not too violent.
But such a person changed his normal attitude when facing Zhao Si's party members.
Using the prison case in Prince Cai's Mansion, no less than twenty direct staff members of Zhao Si were executed, and they were even suspected of being cruel to Zhao Si.
To know.
Except for Zhao Si, the remaining kings of Shen, Zhao Bai, Shen, and Mu are living well.
Zhao Si even sold weapons, but Song Huizong laughed and pardoned him.
And such a historical figure now appeared in Lao Su's house with Xiao Li, how could Xu Yun not be surprised?
No wonder he looks so handsome.
No wonder he has an intersection with Xiao Li.
No wonder there was a sense of decadence all over him.
All of this is because he is.
Jian Wang Zhao Si!
Just as Xu Yun's mind was racing, Xiao Li had already walked up to him and asked:
"Wang Lin, I haven't seen you for a few days. Is everything okay?"
Xu Yun quickly came to his senses, saluted her and said:
"Thanks to the girl, everything is fine for the villain."
Xiao Li hummed softly and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed something was wrong with Xu Yun's clothes:
"Huh? I remember when I saw you a few days ago, you were wearing a servant's uniform, why are you today?"
Seeing this, Lao Su on the side took the initiative to explain:
"Qingzhao, Xiao Wang is a man in trouble that I rescued a few days ago, so I only arranged for him to be a servant.
Now that he has made new achievements and has entered the house's guest list, he can no longer wear those miscellaneous clothes. ”
Xiao Li nodded suddenly, and then raised the piece of paper in his hand towards Xu Yun:
"Wang Lin, do you remember this thing?"
"."
A hint of helplessness appeared in Xu Yun's eyes:
"Of course I remember."
Xiao Li glanced at him somewhat dullly, and said with a resentful look:
"Wang Lin, do you know that after hearing about science from you a few days ago, my little girl couldn't sleep for several days and nights.
Thinking carefully about the various aspects of life, you will find that there are countless common but magical things like tea stains and pieces of paper.
Yesterday I went to a wine shop to drink... ahem, buy drinks for my father, and unexpectedly met His Royal Highness King Jian.
After a conversation, His Royal Highness King Jian also had high expectations for the way of science.
Therefore, I came here specifically to look for you at Uncle Su's house today. I hope you can help me and His Highness King Jian clear up my doubts. ”
In fact, according to Zhao Si's guess, Xu Yun may not be the source of knowledge. After all, Lao Su is a great master of the times.
Xiao Li was a little skeptical about this report at first, but a few days after hearing that Xu Yungang had entered the mansion, she immediately ruled out the possibility of Lao Su.
Sure enough.
After hearing the word science, Lao Su on the side also showed obvious surprise and a hint of expectation.
I saw him saying meaningfully:
"It is indeed a common phenomenon."
Xu Yun:
"."
Then Lao Su glanced at Xu Yun again and couldn't help but said:
"Is it also the secret of Fengling Yueying Sect?"
Xu Yun nodded bravely:
"That's right."
Tell the truth.
Before he showed off his skills to Xiao Li that day, he actually considered the consequences of doing so.
However, in Xu Yun's view, Xiao Li was a senior literature lover, and his status was far from his own.
Therefore, even if this girl becomes interested, she will probably never interact with him again.
The result was unexpected.
This little bean sprout doesn't play according to the routine at all, and it came to the door with great fanfare today.
It can only be said that some common physical phenomena in later generations have a much greater impact on people of this era than Xu Yun expected.
Moreover, this girl just came to the door in person, and actually brought Zhao Si, Song Huizong's biological brother.
Women are so annoying.JPG.
But as the saying goes.
If you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy. If you have more debts, you won’t have to worry.
When the number of curious babies grew from one Lao Su to three, Xu Yun found that he seemed to be looking away.
Then he thought for a while and said:
"Since Miss Li and His Highness Prince Jian are here in person, I naturally have no reason to refuse.
Sir, could you please prepare something for me? ”
Lao Su has already gained a lot of trust in Xu Yun these days, so he didn’t ask any more questions and agreed immediately:
"What do you need?"
Xu Yun thought for a while and said:
"A room, a little lime, a mold for making syringes and a wooden board covered with black paint is enough."
"This matter is not difficult. It will be ready within half an hour."
Lao Su confidently gave him some time, and then said curiously:
"Xiao Wang, are you planning to teach science?"
Xu Yun shook his head and said modestly:
"Teaching is not appropriate, it is just sharing and communication. Besides, there are many types of science. Today we will only talk about one of them."
"Which category?"
Xu Yun was silent for a moment, his eyes deep:
"The Study of Objects!" (End of Chapter)
