Chapter 411: The Madness of Suzhou Shilin

(Don't Bi Lian's little enlightenment on the street, once again promote the work "Dragon and Phoenix Mistake".) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoOkay, go ahead and recuperate. )

Burning incense to worship, although it is very simple to say, is nothing more than igniting the incense in your hand and inserting it into the incense burner very respectfully.

But it's not that easy to do. Before burning incense, you must bathe yourself. For stricter ones, you also need to fast for a few days. Not to mention that there are all kinds of sayings about taking incense, holding incense, prostrating, and praying.

Rushing to do something like Luo Yan is already the Lu family's great leniency towards Luo Yan.

An hour later, Lu Dunyi changed into plain clothes and walked to Luo Yan's house, and then took Luo Yan to the Lu family ancestral hall.

The Lu family is a scholarly family, but it has never had a prominent reputation such as the fourth generation and the third duke. Walking into the wide ancestral hall, Luo Yan saw at a glance that a total of seven elements of spiritual seats were placed from top to bottom.

Such a formation made Luo Yan stunned for a while. You must know that the seven generations that have passed away plus the existing one or two generations are also families that have been inherited for more than 200 years. People like Luo Yan, who only know the three generations of their ancestors, are really a little shabby.

Lu Deming's spiritual position is in the penultimate row, which is easy to find. After receiving the incense sent by Lu Dunyi, Luo Yan bowed respectfully to Lu Deming's spiritual position, carefully inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then knelt down and kowtowed three times.

This is the end of the simple worship. However, this was enough for the Lu family who came to accept Lu Deming's powerful disciple wholeheartedly.

After Luo Yan got up, he politely bowed his hand to the children of the Lu family who were staring at him curiously, and then walked to the main hall of the Lu Mansion under the leadership of Lu Dunyi.

At this time, the people in the big house have been waiting for a long time. When Lu Dunxin went to work, he didn't take any of his relatives with him, and looking at a woman in front of him with a young woman and two teenagers, Luo Yan's mood was a little excited.

He was not completely ignorant of these four people. Because one of them was there, and he was there many years ago for one of the people with white temples.

But after many years of cultivation, he is no longer the impulsive teenager he was at the beginning. Forced himself to suppress the complexity in his heart, and then calmly bowed to the woman: "Luo Yan to meet his sister-in-law." ā€

When the woman nodded in response, she said with a little emotion: "Ying'er, long time no see." ā€

Ying'er is no longer the warbler of the ghost elf. Now she looks beautiful like a flower, but she is a little more cold and mature. Hearing Luo Yan say this, a light flashed in his eyes, and then dimmed, and then he saluted Luo Yan: "Long time no see." ā€

Although it was just a greeting, the voice was full of endless tremors.

Holding back the nostalgia in his heart, after Luo Yan and Lu Dunxin's wife talked, they watched the four of them walk to the inner courtyard.

And he also returned to his residence with some mixed feelings.

After resting all night, Luo Yan, who got up early, took a group of servants to the main hall of the Lu Mansion.

Lu Dunyi has been waiting here for a long time. Yesterday, before parting, Luo Yan told him that there were some gifts to give to the Lu family, as the proprietor, where did Lu Dunxin dare to slack off. What's more, I thought it was a gift from the Duke of the Kingdom, and it wouldn't be too shabby to think about it.

First of all, there were more than a dozen large boxes, and after being carried to the center of the main hall, Luo Yan glanced at the Lu family in the main hall, and finally stared at Lu Dunyi and said: "Every time the ancestor chats with me, he will feel that the Lu family has been inherited for hundreds of years without a single library. Today, Luo Yan brought 5,000 books produced by Moxiangju, including all the works of the ancestor to fill the Lu family's book collection. ā€

One sentence shocked everyone.

Obediently, that's five thousand volumes, not five thousand volumes.

There is a Wu family in Yangzhou, although no one in the clan is out of office, but the collection of thousands of volumes, famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Back then, Lu Deming went to Wu's house to borrow books.

And now Luo Yan has sent 5,000 volumes, which is definitely tens of thousands of volumes, and the Lu family's scholarly family is justified this time.

But the surprises are far from over.

Luo Yan's second gift shocked the Lu family even more.

Although Luo Yan is only a lord now, he is also qualified to recommend two people to directly enter Guozi School every year. Children of the Lu family, but those who can pass my assessment can get these two places. ā€

The five thousand books bring a deeper foundation to the Lu family, and these two places bring the hope of a more prosperous family. Lu Dunyi just wanted to bow to Luo Yan very respectfully at this time.

These two gifts are really heavy.

And the children of the Lu family in the main hall showed crazy joy on their faces. Entering Guozixue is equivalent to stepping into the career of the official in half a step. Such a good thing only attracted them to look at Luo Yan with eager eyes, and their hearts were full of eager thoughts.

However, Luo Yan's gift has not yet been delivered.

"The last thing, although it is only one sentence, I think the second brother will be even happier after hearing it. I stayed in Suzhou for three months, and during this time I would build a branch of Moxiangju in Wu County. It's up to the Lu family to take care of it. ā€

Lu Dunyi just wanted to faint.

It's so happy.

This time, what Luo Yan gave to the Lu family was a guarantee of long-term prosperity.

What Mo Xiangju is, as a reader, they all know it. Although there is still only one head office in Chang'an, it is only a matter of time before business spreads all over the world. I don't want the Lu family to actually win this first prize.

That represents not only a lot of wealth, but also the blessing of many noble officials and the royal family in the court. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty is immortal, and the Lu family is immortal.

Luo Yan looked at Lu Dunyi, who was eager to make a promise, and knew in his heart that this news was too shocking. So after a pause, he said again: "Please also ask the second brother to prepare earlier, after all, there are too many things to do in the early stage." If there are people in the clan who are worthy of trust, let them do something. ā€

After finishing speaking, Luo Yan gave up his hand and left the main hall of the Lu family.

Always give these people some time to recover. At the same time, how to distribute the benefits given by Luo Yan also needs to be discussed by them first.

After Luo Yan left, some of the Lu family's children left the main hall. In the ensuing discussions, it was not their turn to interject. However, this does not prevent them from being extremely happy in their hearts.

Everyone understands that this time their Lu family is only afraid that they will jump up and become the top family in Jiangnan. There is no better way to express inner joy than to boast to others.

This was given to the Lu family by Luo Yan, and no one could snatch it away. Naturally, I am not afraid of being jealous because of this, and then being hit or something. On the big ship of Moxiangju, the rise of the Lu family is definitely steady.

The largest restaurant in Wu County. Several Lu family children met to drink again.

"Haha, I don't want Cheng Guogong to be so affectionate, and he actually brought all the places in Guozixue to my Lu family."

"yes. Although there is no hope for us, this year's Zhengming cousins and a few of them must be very promising. I'll work hard, maybe I'll have a chance in the next three or four years. ā€

"After that, I am afraid that if anyone does not study hard, he will completely become an outcast of the family. But what's even happier is that Moxiangju will actually be handed over to my Lu family. Obediently, when I saw the books in the box just now, I felt that if I had used Mo Xiangju's books as textbooks, I would have been in the scientific examination by now. ā€

Three or five people chatted excitedly, but they didn't know that the sound had already been heard by the guests at the other tables.

Those who can come to this restaurant to spend time are naturally many literati. When I heard about the quota of Guozi School before, most of them just smiled indifferently. It's just a shortcut, not something to envy. But when these Lu family members talked about Mo Xiangju, they were suddenly taken aback.

What the? Mo Xiangju actually handed over the business to the Lu family, doesn't that mean that Mo Xiangju is really going to open a branch in Suzhou.

It can be a big deal.

Moxiangju's books have been a hot thing in Jiangnan for several years, and when they are shipped from Chang'an, not only has the price doubled, but the quantity is also limited. If what these boys say is true, then the scholars in Jiangnan are blessed.

A few scribes immediately couldn't help but step forward, hurriedly confessed, interrupted the conversation of several people, and asked very carefully: "A few little brothers, what you just said about Moxiangju, but the one who sells books in Chang'an City?" ā€

Several teenagers in the Lu family were originally interrupted and a little unhappy, but when they turned their heads, they saw that the person who came was actually the master of Wuxian County. Although the Lu family has a Lu Deming, which is quite remarkable, but because of this, the words and deeds of the Lu family's children outside have been greatly controlled.

got up and hurriedly bowed, and said in unison: "Don't let the master confess." What we just said is indeed the Moxiangju in Chang'an City. ā€

"Then I don't know what happened to let the Lu family take charge of the Moxiang Residence?" The master continued to ask.

"I think the master also knows that Cheng Guogong is the founder of Moxiangju. And this happened to be the closed disciple of my deceased grandfather. Yesterday, this noble man came to the Lu family and informed him that he was going to establish a Moxiangju branch in Wu County, and it was my Lu family who ran it on his behalf. ā€

Anyway, there's nothing to hide, so it's better to say it quickly.

When the master heard the news, he was taken aback: "What, it's actually in Wu County?" Is what you're saying true? ā€

Knowing that now, the master of the county school can't believe it. originally thought that a branch would be created in Suzhou Prefecture, but I didn't want this to be placed directly in Wu County.

"Where do I dare to deceive the Master? If the Master does not believe, wait for three months. After March, we will see the difference. Several of the Lu family's children were a little proud, but they didn't know that this master didn't pay attention to their expressions at all. Instead, he muttered, "It's true, it's true." ā€

As for the diners who listened with their ears on the side, many of them didn't care about continuing to eat after the children of the Lu family repeatedly confirmed that the news was correct, and walked to the outside of the restaurant in a hurry.

This news is really shocking, if you can't share it with your acquaintances for the first time, you will be ashamed of the friendship that has been in and out of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion together for many years.

In this way, under the excitement of everyone's word of mouth, in just three or four days, the entire Suzhou Shilin knew the news that Moxiangju was going to create a branch in Wu County. At the same time, the legendary and famous Chengguo Gong was also in Suzhou at this time.

Suzhou Shilin, crazy.
