Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 20 Lingao Pavilion

Day two.

Su Shi expressed his sincere gratitude to the abbot of Dinghui Temple, and told him that he already had a place to live, and because of the arrival of his friend, he had to move there immediately. It was really too hasty, and he hoped that the abbot would not have other ideas.

The abbot of Dinghui Temple was also very understanding and happy for Su Shi. Although he was still a little reluctant, he still actively helped Su Shi and his family move the luggage.

Of course, Su Shi didn't have much luggage to move, but after just one trip, the task was completed. The abbot and Su Shi agreed that Su Shi should spend more time in Dinghui Temple in the future.

It can be considered that the host and the guest are enjoying each other's company.

Su Shi was so happy when he moved into Huicheyuan that he looked around the post station many times. Seeing the clean post station and the comfortable furniture inside, his wandering heart finally settled down a little.

With this place to stay, when my wife and children come home, they finally have a place to stay.

This solved the problem that had been bothering him, and made Su Shi very happy.

But what made him even more delighted was that this time the carriage house was only a few dozen steps away from the Yangtze River. He stood at the post station and looked down, and immediately became inspired. He said to Su Yun and Su Mai, "I live only ten steps away from the river bank. The wind and waves, the mist and rain, the ever-changing morning and evening, the mountains of the south of the Yangtze River are all on my table. This is a blessing that has never happened before!"

Su Yun smiled when he heard this. The scenery here was truly magnificent. The post station was built on a piece of land protruding into the river, so it was surrounded by water on three sides and the terrain was quite high.

Looking out from this post station, from a high vantage point, the scenery of the Yangtze River, the changes in the morning and evening, and the nearby mountains are all vividly visible. It is an extremely ingenious viewing platform. No wonder Su Shi was so happy.

After seeing the place, Su Yunyi decided to live here. It was so beautiful here. Seeing Su Shi so happy, it felt like all his efforts were worth it.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Uncle, please give it a name. I will find someone to make a plaque and hang it up."

Su Shi laughed and scolded: "You kid, why are you making a plaque? Are you afraid that it's not high-profile enough?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "What's so high-profile about this? We have fallen to Huangzhou, and we can't just entertain ourselves?"

Su Shi also laughed when he heard this and said, "That's right. I've already fallen to Huangzhou. Where else can I be exiled? That's right. We have nothing to do anyway, so we can just enjoy ourselves!"

Several people burst into laughter together, even Zhu A Datian and Asan, who were standing inside the house watching the people outside, laughed.

Su Shi paused for a moment, and thought carefully. After a moment's deliberation, he said, "Why not call it Lingao Pavilion?"

Su Mai immediately praised: "This Gao is a high ground by the water. Lingao Pavilion, this name is very suitable, really good!"

Su Yun laughed and said, "When I heard this name, it didn't seem like I was going back to the car yard at all. Hahaha, all right, uncle, do you want to go down to the river and play skipping stones?"

"Ok?"

Su Shi and his son Su Mai looked at Su Yun in surprise.

The so-called skipping stones on the water is a game often played by children in lakeside water towns. It is called "skipping stones on the water".

Although this game requires a lot of skills, a good player can make the stone jump more than ten steps on the water surface, with splashes rising and falling and clanging sounds. Otherwise, the stone will sink when it falls into the water, which is boring.

But this is just a game for children. You want Su Shi, the prefect Su, to play it?

Su Yun didn't wait for Su Shi to respond, and walked down on his own. Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and followed him down. Su Mai also laughed and followed behind, and soon surpassed his father, competing with Su Yun to see who could throw farther.

On this day, Su Shi and his sons and Su Yun were by the Yangtze River, throwing water stones for a long time, and their laughter echoed on the surface of the river.

A young fisherman passed by in a fishing boat and saw two young men and a middle-aged man playing with water skipping stones with great interest. He asked in surprise, "Su Yun, are you ashamed? You are so old, and you are still playing with children's toys?"

Su Yun laughed and said, "That's right, it's a very childish game. It's not suitable for you to play, so it's best if I play it!"

Su Shi and the other man burst into laughter again.

The young fisherman was somewhat helpless and was about to leave with his boat. Su Yun called out, "Ah Hui, did you catch any fish today?"

The young fisherman was Ahui. Su Yun went to Ahui's home several times and learned that his name was Ahui.

As for why he was called Ah Hui, it was because fishing in Jiangshan was also dangerous.

Ahui's mother hoped that Ahui's father would be able to come back every time he went out, so after Ahui was born, she named him Ahui.

But Ah Hui's father never returned, and even his body was never found, so Ah Hui had to start fishing on his own when he was eleven or twelve years old.

Ah Hui smiled and said, "Today I have a herring. This fish makes a very delicious soup. Come to my house later and I will cook it for you."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Just stop here, Ah Hui. My uncle and I will live here from now on. Can you come to my house and cook for us? My uncle also wants to eat fish soup."

Ah Hui took a look at Lingao Pavilion and realized that this was where the official lived. He immediately realized that Su Yun's identity was not simple. He suddenly felt a little restrained and didn't know what to say.

Su Yun laughed and said, "Ah Hui, you are a coward?"

When Ah Hui heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied. He drove the fishing boat to the shore and jumped on board. He then tied the fishing boat and fumbled around in the boat for a while. He fished out a rather large shad, then strode to Su Yun and said, "Lead the way!"

Su Yun slapped Ah Hui on the head and scolded him with a smile: "Being respectful at first but arrogant later is a sign of lack of confidence. Why are you pretending? Be more natural."

Ah Hui staggered a few steps, then turned back and glared at him.

Su Yun smiled and stopped Ah Hui and walked towards Lingao Pavilion. Su Shi and Su Mai, father and son, smiled and followed him back.

It was the first time Ah Hui entered a place as beautifully decorated as Lingao Pavilion, and he was a little at a loss. Su Yun didn't say anything, and he naturally relaxed after coming here many times.

Ah Hui is Su Yun's first friend in his life. Naturally, he would not let Ah Hui be a fisherman forever. If he has the chance in the future, he will naturally help this friend with a miserable life.

Su Yun brought Ah Hui back to the kitchen of Lingao Pavilion. The kitchen equipment here was quite complete, and the original kitchen utensils were retained.

Ah Hui saw the exquisite kitchen utensils and couldn't help but admire them, "No wonder everyone wants to be an official. Their cooking utensils are much better than those of ordinary people. Ah Yun, the uncle you often talk about is a high-ranking official, right?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "He used to be a high-ranking official, but now he has been demoted. He is just an idle official who has committed a crime."

Ah Hui shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. Can a criminal live in such a good place?"
