Su Zhe, the First "Brother Helper" in Song Dynasty: When a brother borrows money, he wants to pay it back (Part II)

Last time Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou to farm in Dongpo, Su Zhe was demoted to Gaoan, Jiangxi to save his brother and bargain with businessmen.

(If you don't know, you can read the last article. )

The correspondence between them is quite pleasant, and the two brothers are close.

Ahem, what do you think of Lu Xun?

Cao Cao, tell me your opinion.

Lu Xun and Cao Cao:. . .

In A.D. 1084, Su Shi was demoted to Changzhou again.

At this time, there are dozens of people in Su Shi's family, and there is nowhere to place them.

It stands to reason that the salaries and benefits of civil servants in the Song Dynasty are very good, but Su Shi can rely on the moonlight clan.

So I sent a letter to Su Zhe: Brother, my brother is almost 50 years old and hasn't bought a house yet. The whole family can't live, and there is still a little money to buy a house, not much. Just lend me 3000 yuan.

Su Zhe didn't buy a house at this time, but my brother spoke. How could he not borrow it?

So I rummaged through everything and collected 3000 yuan.

In fact, Su Zhe's family has a larger population, and the house barely lives.

It was not until the age of 60 that this old brother, who had been an official and worshipped the vice minister, sold most of his books and took out his life savings before he reluctantly bought a house.

After buying a house, the old man in Su Zhe complained bitterly: "The millet in the pond will dry up, and the gold in the pond will also dry up." He laughed at himself: "I always don't measure myself."

It stands to reason that Su Zhe was at least a deputy minister, and Su Shi borrowed 3,000 yuan. How can he be so poor?

No hurry, let's continue to look down.

A few years later, Su Shi was transferred to Kyoto again and was framed and demoted to Huizhou in Lingnan.

Su Zhe always stood by Su Shi's side, advancing and retreating together with Su Shi, so he called for help.

In Su Zhe's words, I will go wherever my brother goes.

In A.D. 1094, Su Shi, a moonlight clan, arrived in Huizhou and had no money to settle down, so he immediately wrote a letter: Brother, brother has no money to settle down and lent me 7,000 yuan.

When Su Zhe saw it, he was very anxious: Lingnan was remote and miasma was pervasive. My brother can't do without money, and he has to get involved in selling iron.

With the support of Su Zhe's 7000 yuan, Su Shi finally settled down with his family.

When Su Shi was in Huizhou, he was concerned about the sufferings of the people and wanted to build dikes and bridges. If you have no money, write to Su Zhe to mobilize donations.

Su Zhe was demoted to Leizhou at that time, and he really couldn't afford the money.

However, as the first "supporting demon" in the Song Dynasty, how could he give up? So I had a brainwave and went to the backyard.

"Madam, let's donate the gold coins given by the emperor. My brother is in a hurry to use money. " Su Zhe consulted with his wife.

Su Shi is difficult, Su Zhe is difficult, and Mrs. Su Zhe is also very difficult.

My wife really has mmp in her heart.

Madam can't, so we have to donate: one of you really dares to ask for it, and the other one really dares to give it.

Su Zhe: The task assigned by my brother must be completed no matter what.

1097, Su Shi was demoted to Danzhou (now Hainan).

When going to Danzhou via Leizhou, Su Shi got hemorrhoids the day before departure and had to stay in bed.

Su Zhe was deeply distressed, so he sat by Su Shi's bed and read Tao Yuanming's Poem on Abstinence all night.

Su Zhe patiently advised, "Brother, you can't drink any more. Listen to poetry and stop drinking. "

Since then, one of them is in Danzhou and the other is in Leizhou, and they often correspond.

Su Shi was worried that Su Zhe could not adapt to the climate in Leizhou. I heard that my brother lost some weight, so I advised him to eat meat:

"Wenzi lost weight? Rarely eat meat.

(Su Zhe, Zi Ziyou)

On the fifth day, I saw pork and on the tenth day, I met braised chicken porridge.

The natives eat potatoes and taro, and recommend smoking mice and burning bats.

The old news of honey juice spitting is a bit close to the custom of frogs.

Ten years, Beijing is tired and fat, and flowers crush rubies every day.

I have never been a general in this abdomen, but today I should be safe.

People say that there is no taste in the world, and the worm has not yet reached the sage.

Haikang didn't drive back, and the hat broadband surprised the boy and servant.

It's immortal to watch, and you can ride an oriole when you return home.

Su Zhe saw it, worried that his brother was hungry and thin, so he replied:

"Zi Wen Zhan Shou sees poetic rhyme"

(Su Shi, Zi Zizhan)

Habits, don't eat meat, sleep for a long time lazy porridge.

Flexion and extension have been effective for a long time. He is upside down and gradually imitates bats.

People laugh and starve for a long time, fearing that they will return to vulgarity the next year.

I lost ten days, which scared my neighbor's father. I don't believe my mind is full of topaz.

The sea escapes from Qilu, and the mountain fern can still taste millet.

Goodbye to the boat owner if you are alone, and you don't need Anyang deer for the car.

When brother Hainan is in trouble, firewood will be with his servants.

Where this body is, it is safe, and it is impossible to return to the same period.

In this way, the two brothers care about each other. Su Zhe wrote 27 poems in Leizhou a year, and 25 capitals were written for Su Shi.

In11kloc-0/year, Su Shi died of illness in Changzhou and was buried in Xiao Emei Mountain, Shan County, Henan Province, thousands of miles away from his hometown. The most regrettable thing is that I didn't see my brother Su Zhe.

Su Zhe heard the bad news and even "cried his blood to the ground".

When my brother died in a foreign land, Su Zhe was heartbroken: "Brother, aren't you going back to your hometown with me and listening to the rain outside the window?" You don't keep your word "

Su Shi has passed away, and Su Zhe took the initiative to take care of Su Shi's family. After that, he retired at home and didn't ask about politics.

Su Shi's sons Su Guo and Mai Su lead a hard life. Although Su Zhe was demoted and paid less, he still lived with his nephews. Two brothers and two rooms/kloc-more than 0/00 people live in one place and live hard.

On August 24th, A.D.112, Su Zhe died in Yingchang at the age of 74. On his deathbed, he ordered his descendants to bury his bones next to Su Shi, and later they were buried together in Xiao Emei Mountain, Shan County, Henan Province.

In this way, the two realized the original agreement, accompanied by * * * reading day and night, listening to the bleak rain at night.

For Su Shi, Su Zhe is "there is only one principle within the four seas".

For Su Zhe, this life is "Brother, you can go ahead smartly, and I will always be behind you".

The two brothers are just like their names, stone: the crossbar on the armrest of a carriage.

Wheel track: the track that has been run over by the wheels of a carriage.

One is always in front and the other is always behind.

Last question: Do you know which dike Su Shi built with gold coins?
