Shi Jin jumped off the carriage and greeted the few people on the roadside, saying, "Brother Su!" One of the young men turned his head at the sound and couldn't help but show a hint of strangeness on his face. Then he cleared his throat and awkwardly said, "Ah... it's cousin Jin. Are you feeling better?"
"Thanks to Big Brother's help, I'm much better," Shi Jin said, cupping his hands in gratitude.
The man's face became even more unnatural, and he forced a laugh, saying, "That's good, that's good."
This person is Shi Jin's cousin, Su Jian, and also one of the people who instigated him to go to the brothel a few days ago.
In addition, he also has another identity, as the son of Su Dahuzi.
Who is Su Dahuzi? He is the famous Su Dongpo.
And Shi Jin's mother is the cousin of Qin Guan, the husband of Su Xiaomei.
This relationship is neither distant nor close, and Shi Jin is not a simple person. He is a disciple of Su Dongpo, a famous poet. When Shi Jin found out that he was actually related to Su Dongpo and Qin Guan, he was a bit stunned. But what surprised him even more was that his father, from the Shi family, is actually descended from the Han Dynasty's Duke of Du Ling, Shi Gong, who was related to Emperor Wu of Han.
Although the historian is no longer as prominent as before, the heritage of a thousand-year-old family cannot be underestimated. It's no wonder that his father, who seems like a wealthy landowner, could marry a lady from a scholarly family.
Learning about his impressive heritage, Shi Jin understands why his father supports his martial arts practice, while his mother is upset. And in his dreams, why does Shi Xiu say that Shi Jin is of royal descent, while Shi Jin himself claims to be a loyal subject of the Han dynasty, willing to die rather than surrender.
Su Jian listened to Shi Jin and felt that he was hinting at something. His eyes darted around as he laughed and said, "Cousin, I still have an appointment with a friend. Let's talk another day."
He had just witnessed the scene in front of Xiangguo Temple, where Su Jian saw Shi Jin ruthlessly deal with Gao Qiu. Remembering how he and his friends had teased Shi Jin a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He dared not approach him to create any discomfort and quietly left afterward.
Unexpectedly, he encountered Shi Jin again on the street. Seeing the smile at the corner of Shi Jin's mouth, he couldn't shake the feeling that this guy seemed to have ill intentions.
At this point, he no longer thinks that Shi Jin is a simpleton. He casually responded, wanting to quickly send this troublemaker away. Then he heard a voice from the side: "Brother Su, is this your cousin? He has an extraordinary appearance, very good-looking." Shi Jin looked over and saw a young man looking at him with great interest.
A man with a fair complexion and thin lips, exuding a refined and elegant air, with a hint of nobility. He is smiling as he looks at Shi Jin, his expression kind. Su Jian helplessly introduces, "Ah, yes, he just arrived in Tokyo a few days ago. This is Wang De, the second son of General Wang, from the Wang family."
Shi Jin raised an eyebrow when he heard it. Wang Shuo, the Marquis of the Imperial Guards? Isn't he the patron of Gao Qiu later on?
Gao Qiu started to rise to power after being introduced to Zhao Ji by Wang Shuo, who was still King Duan at the time.
But speaking of which, Shi Jin also has a close relationship with Gao Qiu. Initially, it was Su Dongpo who introduced Gao Qiu to Wang Shuo.
Introduced Wang De, the other two are not easy to introduce, Su Jian then introduced the other two to Shi Jin. One is surnamed Li, the son of the Minister of Rites, and the other is surnamed Zhao, the son of the Imperial Censor. Su Jian didn't mention the names of the two, either forgetting or feeling that they had no connection with Shi Jin and omitted them.
These people are all second-generation officials.
Shi Jin glanced around and saw that Gao Xiang was no longer in the crowd.
Gao Xiang is a thug on the street, very familiar with many people. It seems that he knows the backgrounds of these people. He saw Shi Jin getting along with a few people and got scared and ran away. Shi Jin originally wanted to get Gao Xiang to target Su Jian and teach him a lesson, but the backgrounds of the people around Su Jian were too deep, which directly extinguished Gao Xiang's desire for revenge. Initially, Wang Jin was just a small military officer, and he only beat them up. Gao Qiu also endured until he made a name for himself before taking action. These people didn't even dare to make a peep.
Su Jian seems quite interested in Wang De, which is a bit strange. This cousin, in his opinion, was just a country bumpkin with a little money, dull and somewhat looked down upon. The scene in the market today did change his impression, but he only felt that Shi Jin was a troublemaker with a cunning mind.
But who is Wang De? His mother is the emperor's sister, so the current emperor is his uncle. This person has always been proud, but I don't know what he sees in Shi Jin.
Su Jian was puzzled and couldn't help but glance at Shi Jin. This country bumpkin actually looks quite handsome, with a kind of noble spirit that they don't have.
Suddenly thinking of Wang De's identity, Su Jian's heart couldn't help but stir.
Could it be that some noble lady has taken a fancy to Shi Jin?
Immediately, she denied this idea and felt that she was being unrealistic.
It is said that the Shi family's ancestors were also of royal descent, but that was a hundred years ago. Now they are just wealthy landowners in the countryside.
Moreover, Shi Jin had only just arrived in the capital a few days ago and had fallen ill, only going out today. Where could he meet those noble ladies? However, he did not know that his guess was not entirely off the mark. Wang De had just been in front of Great Xiangguo Temple with Su Jian. Although he did not recognize Shi Jin, he did recognize Wang Huan and Wang Jin.
Wang Huan and Wang Jin are the son and daughter of King Duan and Zhao Ji. Their families have a good relationship and often interact. Wang De is also quite familiar with both of them. Shi Jin saved Zhao Fujin and beat up Gao Qiu to help them vent their anger. Wang De saw all of this and, upon meeting them now, is clearly interested in making friends.
Wang De smiled and said, "We were just about to go to the Yuebin Tower for a drink. Since we've met by chance, why don't we go together, brothers Shi?"
The other two had met the young man on the way and hadn't seen the previous scene. Although they didn't know why Wang De was so affectionate towards the young man, they didn't want to spoil the mood, so they just agreed.
"Ajin, since you came to Beijing, we haven't had a good drink together. Let's go together."
Su Jian also changed the way he addressed him, affectionately pulling Shi Jin and saying.
Although he was a little puzzled, he thought that if he could use this opportunity to repair his relationship with Shi Jin, it would be good. So he became enthusiastic and invited Shi Jin to go with him.
Seeing Gao Xiang scared away, Shi Jin thought that those hooligans wouldn't dare to act rashly for the time being, so he didn't need to pay attention to them.
Let's take a look at the social activities of these aristocratic families at this time.
He turned around and instructed Dujian to go back first. Although Dujian was not happy, she didn't dare to stop him and pouted in agreement.
The Yuebin Building is built by the lake. It is now mealtime, and the guests are bustling, making it very lively.
Wang De had the servants make a reservation early, and as soon as they arrived, they went straight to the private room.
