Chapter 43: It's Time for a Change!

The Zhang family has only been an official for these generations, and the background is not deep, in the words of the second aunt of the Ma family, the mud on the legs has not been washed; The generation of the Su family to Su Lu's grandfather has always been a farming and reading heirloom, in other words, half of his feet are still in the mud, so it can be said that most of Su Lu's life in this era has an indissoluble bond with local government offices.

What is really more extravagant than modern people is that he has three people waiting for him in turn, and he doesn't have to do many things himself.

When he arrived at the Li family, Su Lu knew what was magnificent and what was poor and luxurious.

Regardless of whether the Great Song Dynasty was an official or a wealthy family, most of them were so rich. A road-level official like his father, seeing that his life is quite simple, but his daily expenses are also a lot, he really doesn't know how much money he has to absorb to raise a powerful giant like the Li family.

Su Lu walked in the magnificent buildings with the characteristics of Shuzhong, and his mood was not particularly apprehensive, let alone excited, at most he was just a little envy of ordinary people when they saw the mansion.

His pursuit is not very high, the house is not big or small, it is just right, it is too big, it is easy to hide dirt and dirt, and it is easy to provoke right and wrong.

He has always been an ordinary citizen, he just wants to sit together and have a meal every day when the family arrives, easily chat about what he has done all day, complain about the strange things he met outside, pour a glass of wine and toast together, and hug each other with open arms and cry and cry.

Therefore, envy is envy, he still enjoys the ordinary little life more. It's good now, he wants to be extravagant, let people make abalone and ginseng wings, and if he wants to be lighter, let people make pickle porridge, and more, he hasn't thought about it, and he doesn't want it much.

Struggle or something, let others do it!

It's a pity that his father, his brother, or his cousin don't agree with this idea, no matter how much they get up, they will get up with all their bones, pat the dirt off their bodies and continue to walk, and ten cows can't pull them back. Alas, no wonder Lao Cao wants to write poems and beep, the world knows that the gods are good, but the fame cannot be forgotten!

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Su Lu will not impose his ideas on others.

For his father and brother's great ideals, Su Lu is still very supportive. It is said that it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree, and he is diligent and quick to plant a few more trees, and he will definitely be able to live a carefree life!

Su Lu led the little lady of the Zhang family to walk around the Li Mansion, as if she was walking around her own home, very calmly.

The little lady of the Zhang family has followed Zhang Fangping everywhere since she was a child, and she also has a calm and precocious maturity that is different from her peers, and from time to time she will chat with Su Lu about the scenery in the house.

Li Shao didn't care, it was not unusual for Zhang Fuzun's disciples and sons to be well-informed.

The servant woman who came to pick up the person secretly said that she was surprised, I don't know where Li Shao met two such outstanding boys.

Not only is he good-looking, but his bearing is also unspeakable, and he gives people a sense of extraordinary that cannot be underestimated at a young age.

The servant woman respectfully led Li Shao and the three of them inside, and the grandmother of the Li family was already waiting inside.

There is incense in the house, and it smells very pleasant, not choking at all, just smelling it with your nose can distinguish it from those cheap incense pills and cheap incense cakes on the market. Compared with the magnificence on the bright side outside, the furnishings in this room are elegant and elegant, looking ordinary, but in fact, every ornament can be worth the expenses of ordinary people for a year!

Li Shao stepped forward and called his grandmother first, and then introduced Su Lu and the little lady of the Zhang family.

Su Lu was the best in his mouth, and immediately showed a well-behaved smile to greet the Li family's grandmother, and then looked up at the Li family's grandmother and sighed solemnly: "Brother Li Xian didn't lie to me, right?" ”

The grandmother of the Li family raised her eyebrows lightly and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with him lying to you?" ”

Su Yan said with a serious face: "You look so young, if it weren't for Brother Li Xian to introduce me, I would have thought you should be Brother Li Xian's mother!" ”

No one doesn't like to be praised for being young, especially women. Even an old lady who is almost in her ear is still very happy to hear others praise her like this.

What's more, Su Lu is so young, he can't lie when he is young, he must be telling the truth!

Li Shao watched Su Lu take his place, and suddenly became his grandmother's favorite boy, and actively beckoned the Zhang family's kid forward, completely squeezing his own grandson away from his grandmother!

How did he feel like he was luring a wolf into the house?

The little lady of the Zhang family didn't have so many ideas about Su Lu, the grandmother of the Li family was old, they should respect her, and it was also appropriate to coax her to be happy, so she and Su Lu followed the Li family's grandmother left and right, and occasionally Su Lu bragged and forgot the words, she would help make up for it.

Some things can't be pretended, just on the way to the stage, the grandmother of the Li family noticed that the two children had read, the Zhang family boy read especially well, and the Su family boy was slightly inferior, but he was better than being clever, and whatever he said seemed very interesting.

It's two good kids.

Unexpectedly, her grandson made two decent friends this time.

It's just that I'm a little younger.

While talking, the group came to the garden. Su Lu helped the Li family's grandmother sit down and looked at the stage that was temporarily erected by Zhengzhong-Yang.

Although this stage was built temporarily, it was not much more shabby than that in Wa City, and the checks and bars had everything they should have, and the scenery was even richer and more realistic.

That's the power of money!

The others had already arrived.

Seeing the two boys sitting down with the ancestor of the family on the left and the right, and spontaneously moved the chair to the ancestor and talked about the play with a clear eye, everyone was a little stunned.

Who are these two children?

Li Shao was still sad that he was not his grandmother's favorite grandson, but when he saw the other people looking confused and stunned, his heart suddenly became refreshed.

He knew more or less in his heart that few people in the whole family looked down on him.

His stepmother felt that he was born by someone else, separated by a weight; His brother also felt that he was raised by his stepmother, and he was also separated by a heavy weight.

No matter what he does, they can always find faults!

In the early years, Li Shao felt quite uncomfortable, but later his grandmother came back from the temple and loved him very much, and the little unease in his heart was gone, and he just wanted to see what else they could find to pick on him.

Now seeing these guys with a shocked face, Li Shao is so proud that he can't do it.

I didn't expect him to make serious friends!

Su Lu was also observing the Li family.

The grandfather of the Li family was gone a few years ago, and the grandmother of the Li family is obviously the ancestor of the family and has the right to speak, otherwise these people would not be waiting here so much to accompany the grandmother of the Li family to watch the play.

Alas, these people are not enterprising, have no face and no skin, and only think about pleasing the old people and gnawing at the old all day long!

As a person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Su Lu feels that he can add a little difficulty to their gnawing career.

Su Lu tasted the snacks on the table, picked the one he thought was the most delicious for the Li family's grandmother, and said that he had tasted them one by one, and this was the most delicious.

The grandmother of the Li family has many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the eldest of whom has grown up, and the younger one is still babbling. And most of these boys are a little afraid of her, even if they have the heart to please her, they are quite reluctant, she has lived for decades, what are they thinking she can't see?

She hadn't seen a simple and likable child like Su Lu for many years.

The grandmother of the Li family was coaxed by Su Lu and smiled.

Before the play started, Su Lu told the Li family's grandmother some examples.

Su Xian first said that his brother Zhang Xian was only seven years old, and he was already familiar with history books, and his daily hobby was reading, and it would not matter at all to test his fame in the future.

Then Su Lu said that his two cousins and Senior Brother Zhang Shu could read all over again, but they still worked very hard, every day before dawn and before he woke up, the three of them were already reading aloud outside, no one could persuade them, and no one could stop them from working hard.

In the end, Su Lu gave another example, saying that his third uncle didn't want to study when he was young, and he only devoted himself to learning after having a son, and now the article has been written well, and even Zhang Fuzun praised him and wanted to recommend him to Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu knew no, it was the big guy who wrote "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, he cares about the mountains and rivers", a proper writer, and the emperor praised it when he saw it.

The grandmother of the Li family originally only thought it was a fairy tale, but after listening carefully, she became more and more surprised.

The Great Song Dynasty can rely on being an official to be prominent for a while, but there are few people who can rely on being an official for several generations, so it is not enough to rely on Shangjinshi to glorify the lintel, and it is necessary to educate children well so that future generations can continue to live a good life.

After raising his sons, he has to ask them to take the imperial examination and continue to be the backer of the family; After raising daughters, you have to marry them to the right person to weave a huge network of in-laws. In this way, even if there are children and grandchildren who have one or two generations of unproductive children, there is also a helping hand from the in-laws, and there may not be no chance of a comeback.

The Su family and the Zhang family have not yet had a solid foundation, and their children and grandchildren are naturally motivated.

In contrast, her children and grandchildren are not very useful, short-sighted and ununited.

Not to mention, they can still let the Li family lose in their hands!

The grandmother of the Li family felt that Su Lu was reasonable, the younger ones had to urge them to study hard, and the older ones couldn't let go, didn't they see that the third uncle of the Su family was in their forties, and they were still ready to follow their son to take the Jinshi exam?

You can't just let these guys stare at home all day long because they are used to living a comfortable life, and there is not much worry inside and outside the home right now, so they can only stare at the house all day long!

The Li family's grandmother's eyes swept between her daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and granddaughter, and she had already made a decision in her heart.

Since the old man's death, the family has become more and more unpresentable, and it's time for a change!

The little lady of the Zhang family looked at Su Lu.

She noticed the change in the Li family's grandmother's eyes.

Su Lu just gave the example of the three generations of the old, the middle, and the middle, is it deliberate? No matter how big or small, you can't let go of any of them!

With a somewhat inquiring gaze at the little lady of the Zhang family, Su Lu smiled at her and behaved very harmlessly.

As long as the person who needs to work hard is not him, he is happy to urge others to improve!
