Chapter 197 When Su Ting met the ginseng doll Zhen Xiaosi, he couldn't live without laughing!
Zhen Xiaosi's life is like code haphazardly typed by a crazy programmer, full of absurd and bizarre bugs, devoid of any logic or order.
She entered Zhang Shuo's seemingly peaceful mansion with boundless anticipation for a new life, believing she had found a warm haven where she could find peace under his roof.
But fate, that merciless debugging program, instantly and ruthlessly deleted her fantasy code.
She was cruelly abandoned, like a useless piece of abandoned code, struggling desperately in a sea of code filled with loneliness and despair, yet unable to find even a single line of instruction that could save her.
Since then, fate has embarked on a crazy code rewriting.
The core algorithm of fate began to run in reverse, and even her "life program" was drawn into this bizarre code vortex.
Time was no longer a normally progressing program, but began to rewind. Her life's trajectory reversed, and her once mature and stable personality, like an old program being uninstalled, gradually disappeared.
Instead, there are increasingly immature facial modules, like newly written code, full of ignorance and innocence;
Her body module also became increasingly petite, as if a slight program fluctuation could completely destroy her.
In the end, she transformed into an innocent little girl with snow-white skin, a visual effect akin to top-tier rendering, and eyes sparkling with pure light, like a virtual elf who had strayed from a dreamlike program into reality.
However, beneath this seemingly beautiful visual interface lies a complex piece of code that has weathered many storms and is riddled with error logs.
Whenever she inadvertently glances at the child's innocent reflection in the water, that encrypted and sealed memory code surges forth like an out-of-control virus, violently breaking through the firewall.
She clearly remembered that when she first came to this world, she was an AI program programmed as a noble unicorn, radiating a mysterious glow, freely roaming in that ancient and tranquil virtual forest scene constructed from data.
Back then, her program was filled with curiosity and longing for the world. Every rustling sound of a leaf generated by code, every ray of sunlight filtering through the data branches, excited her program instructions to run.
Just when she thought life would proceed as planned, suddenly, a mysterious code from the future invaded her world.
This mysterious force began to wantonly alter everything around her, and the boundary between the real world and the virtual world instantly blurred.
She finds herself sometimes in an ancient courtyard, and sometimes in a futuristic metropolis full of technology.
People she used to know have turned into strange AI figures, speaking in a code language she can't understand.
In the chaotic data storm where data surged like a torrent and program code was intertwined in disarray, Zhen Xiaosi frantically dodged one deadly stream of program turbulence after another. Just when she was almost in despair, her fingertips inadvertently touched a hidden, mysterious piece of code.
In an instant, a dazzling light engulfed her. When the light dissipated, she found herself in a strange space where time had stood still. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the flickering, mysterious runes dancing in the darkness.
Just then, an AI figure emitting a ghostly blue light slowly appeared, claiming to be the Administrator of Fate.
The AI's voice was cold and mechanical, yet it was like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through Zhen Xiaosi's heart:
"Your fate has already been drawn into an AI experiment that transcends time and space. The reverse aging and memory loss you have experienced are just small fragments of this experiment."
Zhen Xiaosi's eyes widened instantly, burning with rage, but she found herself bound by invisible shackles, her anger like that of a trapped beast, yet powerless to resist...
Just as Zhen Xiaosi was in dire straits, another legend was unfolding in the distant Da Chong Kingdom.
Have you ever heard of a remarkable person who could wield immense influence in the imperial court and stand out in the literary world?
That's right, he is Su Ting!
Back in 670 AD, Su Ting was born in Wugong, Jingzhao, which is now Wugong County, Shaanxi Province, a place blessed with natural beauty and talent.
His father, Su Gui, was a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty who held the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and was also a poet of considerable talent.
Look at her background! She's definitely from a prestigious family. From a young age, she's exuded an air of nobility that others can only dream of. And she's been a little too clever for her age!
Su Ting's mind works faster than anyone else's. He can read dozens of lines at a glance, and most importantly, he has a photographic memory. He's much better at speed reading than the current speed reader!
With this ability, he passed the imperial examination early on and obtained the official position of Wucheng County Magistrate.
Although the official position was not high, Su Ting took it one step at a time. Later, he was recommended to be the Military Advisor of the Left Imperial Guard, and then slowly climbed up the ranks to become the Supervising Censor.
Speaking of Su Ting's childhood, there was a rather unusual connection between them.
Back then, he loved to play in the mountains and forests near his home.
One day, as usual, he ventured into the woods and suddenly heard a "whooshing" sound. Following the sound, he found a furry little unicorn whose leg was entangled in vines, unable to move, its eyes filled with fear and pitifulness.
Su Ting took a closer look and exclaimed, "Oh my, it's the legendary Zhen Xiaosi!"
He hurried forward and carefully helped Zhen Xiaosi untangle the vines, then took out his silk handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped away the abrasions on its legs.
As if knowing he was helping, Zhen Xiaosi obediently stayed still. After Su Ting finished, it affectionately rubbed against Su Ting's hand before hopping away.
From then on, whenever Su Ting went to the mountains, Zhen Xiaosi would always appear from time to time to play with him and go hiking together.
In 702, the second year of the Chang'an era, Su Ting received a major task: to review the cases handled by cruel officials such as Lai Junchen.
This is no easy task. Those ruthless officials are extremely cruel in their investigations, and many people have been wronged terribly, basically crying and screaming in despair.
Upon seeing this situation, Su Ting didn't hesitate at all. He had only one thought in his mind: he had to figure this out! He plunged into the files, carefully examining each one, his eyes wide open, not letting any clue slip by.
While he was investigating, his good friend Song Jing came to see him.
As soon as Song Jing entered, he said, "Brother Su, I heard you're working on this. Let me lend you a hand!" Song Jing was seven years older than Su Ting.
Upon hearing this, Su Ting was deeply moved: "Oh my god, Brother Song, you've finally come! With your help, this matter is sure to succeed!"
Just as they were busy at work, Zhen Xiaosi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, jumped onto the table, and said in a childish voice:
"Brother Su, Brother Song, what are you doing? I want to help too!"
Su Ting looked at Zhen Xiaosi, feeling both annoyed and amused:
"You little rascal, stop causing trouble here. This is a serious matter!"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Xiaosi became unhappy and pouted, "I won't cause trouble, I have a great use for you!"
Later, Xiao Si really did go out into the countryside, asking around and looking at things.
Sure enough, Zhen Xiaosi discovered many secrets in hidden corners and collected important evidence that proved the innocence of those who had been wronged.
Su Ting and Song Jing were stunned when they saw it; they hadn't expected the little guy to actually be such a big help.
Later, Su Ting's career rose steadily, and he successively served as a Censor, a Secretary of the Imperial Secretariat, and the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices. He was later promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works and inherited the title of Duke of Xu.
Song Jing looked at Su Ting with a face full of satisfaction: "Brother Su, you're really something!"
Zhen Xiaosi jumped up and said, "Of course! Su Guoguo is amazing, I also contributed!"
Su Ting smiled and patted Zhen Xiaosi's head: "Yes, thanks to this clever little devil!"
In the fourth year of the Kaiyuan era, which was 716, good heavens, Su Ting became the Vice Minister of the Chancellery and the Chancellor, becoming the prime minister!
In 720 AD, the eighth year of the Kaiyuan era, Su Ting was dismissed from his post as prime minister and reassigned as acting minister of rites and chief administrator of the Yizhou Grand General's Office.
Su Ting's life was truly remarkable; he did a great deal of practical things for the people.
Unfortunately, fate was unkind. In the fifteenth year of the Kaiyuan era, which is 727 AD, Su Ting passed away at the young age of fifty-eight.
When he was in office in Luoyang, he did a lot to improve the lives of the people. They remember those things and appreciate his kindness.
Zhen Xiaosi witnessed firsthand that the people of Luoyang, missing him dearly, pooled their money to hire a skilled craftsman to carve a life-size stone statue of Guanyin in the likeness of Su Ting on Longmen Mountain.
Look, the people only do this because they care about him. In his daily life, Zhen Xiaosi often appears in all sorts of strange and unusual places, and thus gets to know many remarkable people, such as Su Ting, who was a great scholar at the turn of the Tang Dynasty, as famous as the prime minister, Duke of Yan, Zhang Yue, and was known as "Yan Xu the Great Writer". His literary talent and ability are truly admirable.
There are many things that make Su Ting so remarkable.
Take the Tanglong Coup as an example. At that time, Su Ting was in charge of drafting the imperial edict.
This guy, once he stands there, is like a tap that's been turned on; once he starts talking, he can't stop.
He spoke at a machine-gun-like pace, words constantly gushing from his mouth, directly directing the clerks to write furiously. His eloquence and particularly skillful use of language meant the clerks were in for a rough time.
Look, the clerks are sweating profusely, their wrists are almost too heavy to lift, and they've pleaded several times:
"Uncle Su, please have mercy and slow down! Our wrists are almost broken; if this keeps up, we'll collapse from exhaustion!"
Watching this scene from the side, Prime Minister Li Qiao couldn't help but sigh, "Su Sheren's mind works like a fountain, so fast and energetic, I can't compare to him!"
Just when everyone was busy, a little head suddenly popped out of Su Ting's pocket. It turned out to be the ginseng doll Zhen Xiaosi.
Zhen Xiaosi said in a childish voice, "Brother Su, you are so amazing, but I can make you even more amazing!"
As she spoke, Zhen Xiaosi gently waved her small hand, and a magical power was injected into Su Ting's body.
Good heavens! This time, Su Ting spoke even more fluently, his speech speed almost rivaling that of a rocket. The clerks were completely at a loss, crying out in despair, "Oh my god, what are we going to do? This is going to kill us! This is going to be the death of us!"
Who could have predicted that this tiny ginseng baby, Zhen Xiaosi, would always cause such a stir at crucial moments?
See, this just proves the old saying: life is unpredictable, and you never know when something might catch you off guard.
At the beginning of the Kaiyuan era, Su Ting and Li Yi served as Vice Ministers of the Imperial Secretariat, mainly responsible for drafting official documents and other written work.
On one occasion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang chatted with Su Ting and said, "In Wu Zetian's time, there were Li Qiao and Su Weidao, and the world called them 'Su Li,' who were the most talented literary figures of that time. Now I have you and Li Yi, and in terms of talent and ability, you are in no way inferior to them!"
Just as Su Ting was about to express his gratitude, a little girl named Zhen Xiaosi suddenly jumped out of his arms with a loud cry, leaping directly in front of Emperor Xuanzong and saying in a clear voice:
"Your Majesty, Brother Su is amazing! Not only is his literary talent impeccable, but he can also come with me to find thousand-year-old ginseng. Eating it will definitely make him more clever and intelligent!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong's eyes widened, shining like copper bells, and he hurriedly asked:
