Chapter 9 The second child of the Su family, high!
Su Lian is writing a letter.
The exchange of letters was the daily means of communication of the literati in this era.
Usually literati will exchange news and praise each other through letters, and occasionally ask the big man in the circle of friends to write a poem or write an article to help them build momentum.
There are also a lot of correspondence partners, classmates who have studied together, the same year that they were admitted to the Jinshi together, and colleagues who have been officials together, these relationships are well maintained, and it is easier to achieve common prosperity.
Su knocked on the door.
Su Jian glanced up, put the letter aside, and said, "Come in." ”
After thinking about it, Su Jian took a stack of letter paper and wrapped it on the half-dried letter, so as not to peek at his bad son who is a big ghost.
Touting words, out of his hands, into the eyes of friends, can also be widely forwarded in the circle of friends, after all, those are old acquaintances, everyone does this, no one will blush.
But in front of his son, it is different, if his son sees the poems he wrote in the letter, where will he put his old face?
He wants face.
Su Lu saw his father's small movements, and thoughtfully did not pierce him, but took the stack of manuscripts from King Kong and stepped forward to present treasure to his father: "Dad, look, I have finished writing!" ”
Su Jian didn't expect Su Lu to really be able to write it, he just wanted to tie people up, lest he tear up other people's marriages again.
It is a good thing to help people jump out of the fire pit, but it is not a good reputation to persuade people to leave, and it is better not to mix it up or not to get involved.
Su Lu pulled a chair and sat next to his father, and a sentence was written on his little face: "Look, show me immediately!" ”
Su Lian picked up the "Micro Psychology" written by Su Lu and read it.
Although the words are a little ugly, the sentences are quite smooth, and the content is full of dry goods, Su Jian looked at Su Chen's face while looking at it, and compared Su Rong's past behavior, he felt that this book was very useful, which could help him distinguish when his son was weak and when he was lying.
Su Jian said quietly: "It's not very well written, just your handwriting, take it out to others and others won't be able to recognize it." The content is not very good, a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, who can understand what you are writing? ”
Su Lu was very dissatisfied with his father's evaluation and ran away angrily.
To slander the fruits of his labor!
I can't ask for this daddy, let's change it!
Su Lian left his son angrily, and he was in a good mood.
He sent for the bookshop steward, saying that he had something to discuss with him.
Ordinary people have saved some family business, and the first thing they do is to go back to their hometown to buy land, and the Su family's current land is basically managed by Su Xun, some of which have been handed down from their ancestors, some of which have been purchased after the eldest brother became an official, and some of them have been purchased after Su Jian became an official.
Su Lian did not use the money that was distributed at the time of harvest every year, but chose a trustworthy steward to open a bookstore in Meishan, printing and trading one-stop, and the business was also very good, which can be regarded as the first bookstore in Meishan.
When the bookstore manager heard that the owner wanted to see him, he thought that the owner was going to check the accounts, so he immediately picked up the account books and came to see Su Lian with a head of account books.
Su Jian didn't ask about the accounts, but handed the "Micro Psychology" written by Su Lu to the bookstore manager.
Now the cover with the words "micro-psychology" has been replaced by him and replaced with another title: "See Weilu".
It also included a preface that he wrote himself.
As a jinshi from the formal imperial examination, Su Jian wrote an article is still very good, he indicated in the preface that this is a book written by his son, although it is a lot of children's words, but there is no lack of thought-provoking, so I think it can be printed into a book, for the world to pass the time after tea and dinner.
The publishing market in the Northern Song Dynasty was very formal, and official permission was required for the printing of books, and the content could not be printed in a mess.
The only thing that is relatively loose is the pirated printing market that can't get a printing license, they can print everything, and Huang-Shu easily enters thousands of households, and pirates make a lot of money.
Su Jian asked the bookstore manager to personally take the manuscript to the government for review, the kind that wants to go through the back door, he has to see the finished product before leaving Meishan to take office.
The bookstore steward was ordered to go, took the manuscript and hurried out, reading the manuscript while walking to the most familiar yamen.
This book is clearly not short, with a total of six chapters, but it is not difficult to read.
In just a few moments, the bookstore steward had finished reading the book.
He was slightly shocked in his heart, and went back and read a few chapters that swallowed dates, and the more he looked at it, the more he was shocked, and the more he looked at it, the more incredible he felt-
Such an easy-to-understand sentence, but there is a deep meaning everywhere under the tasting!
This book is amazing!
Was it really written by Xiao Langjun of the owner?
If he remembers correctly, the owner's Xiaolangjun is only seven years old, right?
How can a seven-year-old doll write such an insightful article?
The bookstore steward gasped.
Hiss - this is a prodigy!
The bookstore manager did not delay, and went non-stop to stuff money and ask someone to quickly review it.
Meishan is so big, and who are behind each shop, the yamen knows in his heart.
Seeing that it was the bookstore steward who personally brought the book, the yamen was not embarrassed, and asked someone to make tea and review the manuscript while drinking.
The attitude of the reviewer was similar to that of the bookstore manager, who was careless at first, but then became more and more cautious the more he looked at it, and even sat up straight and began to play with the contents repeatedly.
In the end, it was naturally approved smoothly.
As soon as the bookstore manager left, the examiner's boss came over and asked curiously: "Was it the manager of the Su family's bookstore who came just now?" Why did he come here in person? ”
The reviewer told his boss about "Seeing Weilu" and said, "I look at the book very well, so I approved it." ”
"Can you write a book at the age of seven? We're going to be a prodigy in Meishan? The boss looked surprised.
"Probably." Seeing that there was no one left and right, the reviewer talked to his boss about his guess, "I read that book is very emotional, and my understanding of people's hearts is not like that of a seven-year-old child." ”
Smart people never have to say anything when they speak.
When the boss heard this, he understood.
Su Lian, this is a prodigy.
The name of this prodigy is still useful.
Think about Yan Xianggong in the court, he was known as a prodigy at the beginning, and he got the attention of the officials, and after being summoned, he was given the official on the spot.
A few years ago, there was also a Sima Guang, and their family made up a catchy story for him, saying that Sima Guang was playing with his companions in the yard when he was a child, and a child fell into the tank, and he smashed the tank without saying a word and rescued his friend.
By the time Sima Guang entered Beijing to take the exam, the story of smashing the cylinder had been widely spread, attracting many dignitaries to pay attention to this smart and brave candidate since childhood!
Sima Guang was also admitted to the Jinshi at the age of nineteen, and he was the envy of many people.
That's the benefit of being a child prodigy.
The reviewer and the boss glanced at each other, and they both saw the exclamation in each other's eyes-
The second child of the Su family, tall!
How else is it that other people's official roads are smoother than their own? How can ordinary people take great pains to pave the way for their son when he is seven years old!
