Chapter 963 Zhu Jieyu

Su Shi was also interrogated by He Zhengchen and came back feeling a little lost.

A small medicine bottle emerged from under a blue brick. Inside was a kind of elixir called the Life-Destroying Da Qing Jin Dan.

Its ingredients include Tianzhu yellow, ink collar, musk, cinnabar, mercury, and tin.

This is a common medicine used to treat shock in children, but the dosage must be strictly controlled.

Dasu asked for Lapis Lazuli to be taken every day, and secretly hid the rest of the medicine so that if anything went wrong, he could take the medicine and commit suicide.

He Zhengchen was interrogated today and informed Su Shi that Su You had also been locked in the Yushitai, and with last night's meal, Su Shi felt that the day when he needed to use Qingjin Dan was getting closer.

This was an agreement between him and his son Su Mai. If there was no fish in the meal, it meant the situation was okay. If there was fish in the meal, the situation would be irreversible.

Damn it, there was a piece of smoked fish in the meal delivered last night.

A voice of greeting came from the door of the courtyard: "Is the Master back?"

Su Shi hurriedly hid the medicine bottle, stood up, wiped his face, and forced a smile: "Lao Liang is here?"

A middle-aged man walked in and took out a letter from his arms: "Just now, after Ziyu saw the two poems that the Master left for him, he cried bitterly at his desk, but then returned them to me and asked me to keep them.

Master, do you see?"

After knowing that he was unavoidable last night, one can imagine Su Shi's mood, so he wrote two "death poems" to his brother to explain his funeral.

One is: "The Holy Lord is like the spring of all things in the sky, and the little ministers are stupid and secretly die. Paying off the debt before a hundred years is completed, and having ten people without a home is even more tiring. The green mountains here can bury bones, but the heavy rain alone hurts the soul. With you.

We have been brothers from generation to generation, and we have unfinished causes in the next life."

The second is: "The frosty night in Baitai is miserable, the wind is blowing and the moon is sinking low. Dreams surround the clouds and the mountains, the heart is like a deer, the soul is flying in the soup and the fire is like a chicken. A true gentleman has a rhinoceros horn in the forehead, and the cow clothes behind him are ashamed of his old wife. Hundreds

Where is the destination for the wandering mind of the year? Tongxiang should be in the west of Zhejiang."

The first song is for my younger brother, and the second song is for my wife and children, hoping that Ziyu will pass it on.

Su Shi read it: "Since Ziyou has already seen it, Lao Liang, just keep it."

There is also something special here. If they are left in the hands of the jailer, the last words of the prisoners in the prison will be sent to Zhao Xu for personal viewing.

Liang Cheng persuaded: "It's not so serious. I asked about it yesterday. Academician Xiao Su only came to Wutai to cooperate with the questioning. He was not as evil as He Dabo said. Academician Xiao Su kept the thank you form in a secret box.

The joke asked to be played by Li Zhongcheng has now spread throughout Wutai, and it is estimated that within two days, everyone in Bianjing will know about it."

Su Shi shook his head: "This young uncle of mine is both capable and talented. He should be of great use when he joins the court this time. It's a pity that I got involved... Anyway, I feel so sorry for him, alas!"

Just when I said this, I heard Little Li Zi at the door shout again: "Master Liang? Master Liang is there?"

Liang Cheng quickly said to Su Shi: "Oh, this is Xiao Li from Beiyu."

Then he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes!" As he said this, he walked towards the door: "What's the matter with you, little Li?"

Su Shi heard Xiao Lizi say at the door: "Scholar Xiao Su made a pot of cured meat casserole rice and asked me to bring it to Master Su."

Liang Cheng said: "Leave it to me then. Academician Xiao Su is really a glutton. He even makes his own food in Wutai!"

After a while, Liang Cheng came in with a casserole: "Master, look, this is the Wutai used as a flag pavilion. Do you think it's funny? Then we will eat this today? Bachelor Su's handwriting is definitely extraordinary."

"

Su Shi knew that he was comforting Kaijie and diverting his attention, so he smiled bitterly and said: "That's okay, but I haven't seen Uncle Yao's craftsmanship in many years."

After the clay pot rice was served, Su Shi took a bite and frowned: "What's going on? There is so much soup, and there is still raw food in the rice."

Liang Cheng was also dumbfounded: "Didn't you say that Bachelor Su's innate craftsmanship and self-proclaimed cooking skills are better than articles? Then should we still eat it? It smells good."

Su Shi put down his chopsticks and poured the two bowls of rice back into the pot: "How can we eat this? Uncle Yao probably has been too busy these years and his skills have become rusty. Lao Liang, take it to the coal stove, cover it, and cook it for a while.

boil."

Liang Cheng agreed and picked up the casserole.

But after Su Shi said those words, he felt like he was struck by lightning and stayed there.

Uncle Yao's craftsmanship came from his mother's womb. How could he possibly make something like rice with uncooked rice?

If he had to endure it one more time, he would have to endure it one more time on his own!

…

Tong Guan came back and handed over Su You's secret box and narrated the conversation between the two. Zhao Xu was very satisfied: "I knew that Mingrun was a magnanimous gentleman, and he could still entertain like a man in Wutai. After what happened,

It’s also a good story.”

When the secret box was opened and the chapter was taken out: "So many?"

Tong Guan said: "Su Mingrun said this was just the first day. He said he would write one thing in three days. He planned to write ten things, which would take a month. I just hope that the officials will not dislike his verbosity."

Zhao Xu only read the beginning and waved his hand: "I'm going to study at Zhu Jieyu's place tonight. You go and let me prepare there first."

Zhao Xu's concubines were actually quite fertile, but they all died young. Now they only have one son, who is just a two-year-old baby. The biological mother was a talented person.

With the birth of the prince Zhao Yong, talented people can enter Jieyu.

Zhu Jieyu came from a very low background, coming from a commoner family. Her father Cui Jie passed away when she was very young. Her mother Li remarried Zhu Shi'an, so she took her stepfather's surname of Zhu.

Later, Mrs. Li gave birth to a child in the Zhu family. Her ex-husband's daughter was not loved at home, so Mrs. Li entrusted her to be raised by a relative named Ren.

Therefore, Zhu Jieyu actually has three "fathers".

There are the empress dowager who is from the Cao family, the empress dowager who is from the Gao family, and the queen who is from the Xiang family. Zhu Jieyu was an inconspicuous existence in the palace. In addition, she has a quiet and polite temperament. It took her eight years after entering the palace.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu visited him.

As a result, Zhao Xu was born, the only living prince today.

With the pressure of three noble gods in the harem, even if Zhu Jieyu gave birth to a prince, she would not be as gentle and quiet as the mother and the son. Therefore, Zhao Xu was just a casual sex at first, but later, on the contrary,

I think this woman is very suitable.

Whenever he needs to think quietly, Zhao Xu likes to come to Zhu Jieyu, because only Zhu Jieyu will not get obsessed with him, but will only silently prepare for him, which makes Zhao Xu feel very comfortable.

.

Arriving at the small courtyard, Zhu Jieyu came up and continued: "The official ordered Tong Guan to come a little late today, and I prepared in a hurry. The official should not be surprised."

Zhao Xu didn't take it seriously and asked, "Have you gone to live at the Empress Dowager's place?"

Zhu Jieyu handed over the warm wet handkerchief: "After daily life, the Empress Dowager... I don't know how I found out that Sansu was sent to prison, and she was a little... unhappy."

Zhao Xu frowned: "The Empress Dowager must have told him that the maids from the Huangmen in the harem often stir up trouble, and what they know may not be the truth. Don't listen to the wind."

Zhu Jieyu lowered her head and said: "Yes, I don't dare to mention this to others, but... I just want to tell your Majesty that if the Empress Dowager asks about it when you are living, your Majesty should be prepared."

Zhao Xu was amused by Zhu Jieyu and simply stretched out his hand to scratch her nose: "Do you think she doesn't know that you will definitely tell me when you come back? She just asked you to pass on the message. I'm not blaming you for calling the official.

What should I change my words about?"

"Yes." Zhu Jieyu lowered her head further: "But my concubine... I have to pass it on."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "It's hard for you. Forget it. Let's just have something to eat. I want to read the memorial sent by my minister."

Zhu Jieyu hurriedly asked Zhao Xu to go to the side room, but they all had the usual food in the market: stir-fried kangkong with tofu sauce, cucumbers mixed with sesame sauce, a plate of braised pork cold dishes, a plate of roasted eggplant with cowpeas, and a pot of barley porridge.

Zhao Xu's appetite whetted his appetite as soon as he saw it: "It's better to have porridge and side dishes here to survive the summer heat. I heard that Su Mingrun also had mutton soaked buns for breakfast in Wutai. It's really hard for him to eat in this weather."

Zhu Jieyu also laughed: "I can't stand that kind of eating method. It must be due to physical constitution and habits."

"I heard that Xiao Su's family was poor when he was young, so he collected eggs in the summer when chickens and ducks were laying a lot of eggs. He couldn't afford salt, so he used straw ash, yellow mud, and rice husks to seal the eggs to make preserved eggs.

In this way, it can be stored for a long time and can be eaten until autumn. After all, you are a smart person and understand the principle of long-lasting water."

After saying that, he pursed his lips and said with a smile: "On weekdays, he also uses various methods to catch fish and shrimps, so he will definitely not be short of delicious food when he is a child, and he will have to eat meat every time he grows up."

"Hahaha... This is what the Empress Dowager told you, right?" Zhao Xu served the porridge to himself and Zhu Jieyu: "He is very capable of catching fish and shrimps. Today's sea boats use to catch totoaba.

His method can produce tens of thousands of catties in one net!"

"You said I'm greedy. Go peel two preserved eggs, put some garlic and soy sauce on them. Then open a can of black bean fish."
