Chapter 15: Unless You Can't Help It
Su Lu went home with two major events in his arms.
One is to ask his father for money, his father and son settle accounts, he can't get used to his father!
One is to tell his father that he is going to follow his two cousins to Chengdu Mansion. It doesn't matter if you read or not, what matters is that it is rare to find a smart and beautiful little lady who is willing to raise him, which is a lifelong event for him!
As soon as Su Lu returned to the old house in Meishan, he immediately went to find his father.
The atmosphere of the old house is a little sluggish.
Su Sanniang's divorce was sentenced, and since then, the two families have married separately and have nothing to do with each other.
Although it is a good thing to leave the scumbag husband, everyone in Su's house is still not happy. The good girl in their family happily married, but now she is married and has returned to a bleak end, who can be happy?
Su Lu saw that the situation was wrong, and only after asking others did he know what was going on.
And leave the success, a good thing! Su Lu clapped her hands and asked Yun Niang to prepare and make a cake to celebrate.
Su Lu has no other preferences, but loves to eat.
When he was a child, his teeth hadn't grown well, and he couldn't eat any good things, so he was anxious to see others eating, so he simply sent Yun Niang to make all kinds of food and drink for him. Something like yeast, Yun Niang has already groped for a long time to make it, and when his father was in office, he also built a bread kiln that could be used as an oven, and he could usually make bread and cakes to satisfy his hunger.
Yun Niang listened to Su Lu's instructions, and immediately went to take out all the guys who made the cake and started to prepare.
Su Lu went to find his father.
Su Jian had just returned from visiting friends and was slightly drunk.
Su Lu ran up and said, "Dad, I'm going to Chengdu Mansion!" ”
Su Lian looked at him.
It means "who doesn't know you went".
Su Lu continued to hint: "I went to the bookstore with my brother!" ”
Su Jian was not weak, and ridiculed Su Yan: "It's rare, you will actually enter the bookstore one day, I thought you would only avoid the book." ”
Su Lu felt that his father was too thick-skinned.
Su Lu had a direct showdown: "I saw that book of "Seeing Micro Records"! ”
When his father got the book he wrote, it was worthless, but he secretly printed it behind his back and sold it for money!
He even secretly changed the title of his book!
How unreasonable!
There is no respect for other people's creations at all!
Su Jian was a little surprised: "It was sent to Chengdu Mansion so soon?" ”
Su Jian got the sample book yesterday, so he specially got together with relatives and friends today and gave them a copy of "Seeing Weilu". I didn't expect Chengdu Mansion to sell it at the same time, and it seems that the bookstore manager's ability to distribute goods is quite strong.
Seeing that his father had no remorse, Su Lu became even more angry: "You printed what I wrote behind my back!" ”
Don't give money yet!
Su Jian knew what kind of virtue his son had, and when he saw that he was about to be poor, he came to the scene to take the lead: "Now that you know, it's just right, let's calculate the cost of printing books." You know, I paid for the printing of the book first, and I had to share the profits with the booksellers when I could sell a few copies and settle a few copies in the future. Su Jian looked at Su Yan meaningfully, "The steward hasn't come to report how much has been sold today, but you are a child who is not famous, and you shouldn't be able to sell many copies." ”
Su Lu took two steps back and stayed away from his father.
Su Jian said with a smile: "I paid you the printing cost and transportation cost in advance, I know you have money, now I will calculate the money well, you pay off the money before leaving." ”
"Don't think!"
Su Lu shook his head repeatedly.
"I didn't let it be printed! Don't think I'll pay for it! ”
Su Jian said earnestly: "I'm also planning for you, you see that you can't be high or low, you can do everything, you can't do anything, what path do you plan to take in the future?" I see that your writing is still a little level, so I asked someone to find a relationship to help you print the book and sell it, and help you make a name for yourself. ”
Su Lu muttered: "What do I want to be famous?" I can't eat it, I can't exchange it. ”
Su Jian glanced at him and patiently explained to him: "As long as your fame rises, even if you take the exam in the future, even if you do averagely, the examiners may also give you a good ranking when they approve the ranking; Even if you don't want to take the exam, if your reputation spreads to Beijing, the official family may personally summon you and directly give you a Tongjinshi background, which is a very good way out for you. ”
When Su Lu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
There is no need to take an exam to have an official position, and there is such a good thing?!
As for what is the difference between Jinshi and Tongjinshi, Su Lu didn't want to think about it at all, anyway, with his background, he can be an official; With his background, he is a "scholar"!
You must know that the Great Song Dynasty has an ancestral motto of "not punishing a sergeant doctor", even if you are corrupt and bribery, spread rumors, bully and dominate the market, and even point at the emperor's nose and spray indiscriminately, as long as you are a civil official with a serious background, everything is a trivial matter, do it, do it casually, and you won't die anyway!
Su Lu was afraid that his father would fool him, so he asked uncertainly, "You won't lie to me, will you?" ”
Su Lian said: "Back then, Yan Xianggong had the name of a prodigy, and at the age of fourteen, he was summoned by Emperor Zhangsheng and gave him the birth of a fellow jinshi. Later, when Emperor Zhang Sheng was in a big way, he also regarded him as a minister of Tuogu and asked him to assist the official family well. After all, Yan Xianggong is now almost fifty years old, and he is still very valued by the officials, and it can be said that he has lived a rich and prosperous life all his life. ”
There is one thing that Su Jian skipped and didn't say, that is, when Emperor Zhang Sheng summoned Yan Xianggong, he happened to be doing the palace test, and learned that Yan Xianggong was a little genius, so he asked him to enter the palace and sit down to answer the questions together, which gave him the same Jinshi background.
However, this small detail is not important at all and does not need to be specifically mentioned.
Su Jian stared at Su Xuan.
Su Lu looked fascinated.
This is the day of his dreams.
There is such a good thing in the world!
Yan Xianggong knew that it was Yan Shu who wrote "Helpless flowers fall, déjà vu Yan returns", who was taught in nine years of compulsory education, and said that his words are particularly rich.
Unexpectedly, he became an official at the age of fourteen, but he was still exempted from the written test and was directly interviewed by the big boss!
Envy, envy.
He also wants to have such happiness!
Su Lu humbly asked for advice: "Then this book sells well, am I a prodigy?" When will the officials summon me? Wouldn't it be too early for me to become an official at the age of seven? ”
Su Jian said: "Yan Xianggong can write poems at the age of five, and he has the name of a prodigy early. ”
Su Yan snapped his fingers and calculated, Yan Xianggong became famous at the age of five and became an official at the age of fourteen, so if he became famous at the age of seven, he would be an official at the age of sixteen!
Very good, he can still play for nine years before becoming a court official, and accept the corruption of money, power, and beauty.
He will definitely resist to the end, and will never be in the same stream as corrupt officials and silverfish.
Unless you can't help it.
Thinking of his bright future, Su Lu slapped his father's ass: "Dad, you are really well-intentioned!" ”
Su Jian said: "Will you settle the money for the printing of the book?" ”
Su Lu said: "Don't worry, my book will definitely be sold, it's a big deal that I want to sell it!" Referring to this stubble, he took the opportunity to mention to Su Jian about going to Chengdu Mansion, saying, "My brothers are all going to study, and I want to go too, too, because I'm a little man."
Su Jian knew that this son couldn't be tethered, so he only advised: "It's okay to go, you have to take Xiaocui or King Kong with you when you go out." ”
Su Lu agreed: "No problem!" ”
After saying that, he was afraid that Su Jian would ask him to pay back the money, so he ran away without waiting for Su Jian to speak again.
No one wants to touch his little coffer, not even his own father!
