Chapter 59: An unprecedented sentence for the poet (Chinese)

Behind Zhao Xing was a middle-aged woman riding a donkey, and then a sedan chair, with seven or eight pairs of strong men carrying cages behind the sedan chair.

When Zhao Xing entered the door, Mrs. Wang also stood at the door to greet her. Su Dongpo's third son Su Guo looked at the cow held by Zhao Xing curiously and asked, "Brother Xing, will I let me see the cow this time fall to death? Last time, my elder brother and second brother looked at it, but I didn't see it."

Zhao Xing handed the cow rope to Su Mai, looked at Su Guo with a doting expression and said, "This is a dairy cow, which is used to drink milk."

Su Guo continued to ask: "Is it the mother of the ('falling') calf?"

Mrs. Wang's face changed a little, she quickly pulled Su Guo, covered his mouth and said, "Li Ren, this gift is too thick, we shouldn't have taken it."

Zhao Xing disagreed, so he bowed and replied: "Madam, why bother with the bachelor... If your wife is sorry, she can treat this as part of the bet - she is willing to accept the loss of the bet, and I am repaying the gambling debt."

If Mrs. Wang is not good at saying anything, let’s talk about it, Chaoyun Xin gave birth to a child, and their financial difficulties are indeed a bit embarrassing.

Mrs. Wang let the door open and the servants carried the gift into the yard like flowing water. At this time, the sedan chair behind Zhao Xing landed on the ground, and a well-dressed little girl got out of the sedan chair. Mrs. Wang quickly met the girl, holding the girl's hand, and said with a smile: "Is this the 'pearl in the palm' that the people of Huangzhou say? I've heard that you are pretty, but unfortunately I've been tired of my children recently, so I didn't go to see it."

Su Dongpo heard the sound in the yard. He was not good at going out, so he could only sit upright in his study and put on the teacher's airs. When Zhao Xing brought the woman in and gave him a ceremony to apprenticeship to him, he nodded reservedly. He raised his hand to signal Mrs. Wang to take Azhu to the wing room, relaxed himself, and blamed him, "If you leave someone, bring so many things back, the child will spit on him. This gift is too thick, be a teacher..."

"Mr. - 'If you have something to do, I will accept my efforts', why bother with the family, why be polite?"

The whole family said this to Su Dongpo's eyes a little wet. Moreover, at this moment, he was really not polite.

Su Shi was a free and easy person. After a moment of calmness, he immediately explained the etiquette negligence: "Li Ren, Chaoyun had just given birth, and was weak, so he would not come out to see guests."

All relatives and relatives meet guests - this is the etiquette of the ancients, indicating that they are a family with each other.

Zhao Xing understood, and he replied: "I brought a wet nurse and a cow. If the teacher's old house is still there, let them be placed there... It's winter, and many people will take care of the little brothers."

Su Dongpo's three sons kept accompanying guests according to etiquette. Su Hui felt the child's mood. When he heard this, he quickly ran out to tell his mother. Su Mai didn't catch him and had to smile apologetically.

"The family doesn't need too much etiquette." Zhao Xing smiled happily and said to Su Mai: "I got a few Japanese knives and a few pairs of armor from Japan. Brother Boda is going to Dexing, Raozhou to be a county magistrate. It just happened to be used on the box of armored weapons. There are chalk marks. Brother should move the boxes to his house."

Su Mai didn't talk much, so he bowed to thank him.

Su Guo has been enduring it for a long time. When he first saw Zhao Xing, he ate meat, so Zhao Xing gave him the impression that he could bring meat. Now, seeing his father pretending to read books and his brother just bowed and didn't speak, he couldn't help but blink and asked, "Brother Xing, are we not going to fall in the bull market today?"

Zhao Xing squatted down and said with a smile: "We won't fall down today - the donkey fell down. I'll 'fall' you the donkey I rode by the wet nurse. How about it?"

"No, you should not be spoiled by others." Su Dongpo immediately persuaded: "This donkey is for transportation, how..."

Zhao Xing didn't care at all: "Teacher, why blame the little brother? I also heard that the donkey skin is made of glue, plus red dates, which is the famous donkey gelatin, which is a great supplement to the mother's mother - I specially brought this donkey to slaughter."

He regards my place as a slaughterhouse?

Su Dongpo was very depressed.

Before Su Shi could react, Zhao Xing had already thrown the book in his hand and pulled Su Guo out with the joyful Su Shi couldn't catch up with him, so he had to pick up the book that Zhao Xing threw down and smiled bitterly at his eldest son - this book is "Song Xingtong".

"Studying" the donkey, should we also check Song Xingtong in advance?

This person is so careful in doing things, why?

In the yard, the donkey was tied up. When tying the donkey, Su Guo asked curiously: "Brother Xing, I heard that the cow didn't tie his feet when it fell to death last time. Why did you tie the donkey's feet this time?"

The answer is: Zhao Xing knows the location of the cow's heart, but does not know the location of the donkey's heart. The TV program he watched introduces bullfighting, but donkeyfighting has not yet.

The child asked again and again, Zhao Xing hummed for a long time and replied: "The cow tied up with his legs fell to death. The yamen runners need to spend more money, but donkeys don't need it."

After saying that, Zhao Xing had already stabbed the sword in his hand into the donkey's neck, and the donkey began to struggle. As blood rushes into his throat, it did not pull up the famous donkey's throat. At this time, Su Guo had forgotten to pursue the answer and just watched the donkey struggle.

Su Mai was helping Zhao Xing. While working, Zhao Xing continued to explain to Su Mai: "I have a student Cheng Zhuo who doesn't like studying, but he plays well with bows and arrows. He climbs mountains and slopes and walks quickly. Brother Boda can take him as a helper when he takes office."

Su Mai nodded and thanked Zhao Xing for his kindness.

This time, Zhao Xing did not continue to perform his amazing anatomical skills. After slaughtering the donkey, the rest of the work was handed over to the children, and he took Su Mai's hand to check the gifts.

Zhao Xing brought the modern concept of containers to the Song Dynasty. These gifts were packed in wooden boxes two meters long, forty cm wide and forty cm high, and the name was written in chalk on each box.

The three boxes Su Shi obtained, one of which was filled with porcelain, which was the Goryeo Jade porcelain mentioned above. The other box contained cultural supplies such as Goryeo paper, Japanese paper, and Goryeo inkstone.

The last box is quite special, with a Japanese stick knife in it (equivalent to the sword grid or handguard commonly known as my country), and the overall shape is like a piece of wooden staff.

The box has a large space. In addition to this stick and knife, there is also a bamboo rattan cloak that looks like a razor armor rather than a straw. The remaining space is filled with Goryeo bronze ware. In addition to sawdust straw, Zhao Xing was also stuffed with a large amount of copper coins, gold nuggets, and silver ware. In this regard, Zhao Xing's explanation is all attributed to fixed bronze ware.
