Chapter 23 Generous Gifts
A turmoil ended with the desperate fight of the Sun family's father and son, although the house was smashed by others, it was not without benefits, at least in the territory of Nancheng, no one dared to provoke them anymore.
Even a big guy like Wang Yansheng has been brought down, who would dare to come over and find death?
But they didn't get excited for long, because they still had to live this day.
Every morning, their fried noodles, ramen, and fried noodles are still selling very well, and even because of this incident, many nobles in Beicheng have heard of him here, and the taste is really great after tasting it, and it has gradually become a must-visit place for gourmets in Beicheng.
Although he is in a small place, he doesn't even have a place to sit, but the heart of a foodie will not be shaken by such a trivial matter, it really can't be done, can you let the next person pack it and go home to eat.
The firing of red bricks is also very successful, this thing is actually not very technical, Sun Chunming people of this age built their own houses when they were children, how many will not burn this thing, the calcium content of the loess in the North China Plain is not high, although the red bricks burned are not high, but they can definitely be used.
Lao Fang and others looked at the red squares burned out, and smiled happily, although there were blue brick buildings in the Song Dynasty, but the green bricks were too bulky, and the cost was a bit out of bounds, so it was not popular for civilian use.
Red bricks are different, this thing is really much lighter than green bricks, you can feel the practicality of this thing after a little pondering, at this time look at these red bricks only feel more happy than gold bricks, and the work is getting harder and harder.
At noon on this day, because of the reason why the family built a house, Sun Chunming didn't talk about books, and he was busy working behind the food stall, but he saw an ox cart slowly coming from the corner of the street, surrounded by more than a dozen armor soldiers, and the people on the car were full of pride, it was Yin Zhao Guangyi of the dignified Kaifeng Mansion.
"Brother Chunming, Brother Chunming, I'm here to see you."
When Sun Chunming and Sun Yue heard the voice, they knew that Zhao Guangyi was coming, so they hurriedly jumped out of the backyard and bowed to Zhao Guangyi, "I've seen the second king." ”
"No, no, Brother Chunming, I admire your knowledge and character, Ling Gongzi is even more of a prodigy, the posture of a prime minister, you don't have to stick to your identity, see what good things I brought you?"
As he spoke, Zhao Guangyi jumped out of the ox cart and opened the thick cloth on the cart, which turned out to be half a cart of books and half a cart of paper.
"I know that your father and son are high, and they don't care to accept things, but Ling Lang wants to study, this book is always wanted, and I am not the rich prince who doesn't know the hardships of the people, when I was young, there were poor people in the family who couldn't eat, and I knew the difficulty of studying in the poor family, these books were given to Ling Lang, I hope he can go to high school as soon as possible, you can't shirk it, right?"
To say that this Zhao Guangyi can do such a big thing in history, no matter how tender or bad it is, there are still shining points, at least this corporal Lixian is very talented in winning people's hearts, to be honest, he still has a lot of personality.
After Wang Yansheng got out of class, as Sun Chunming's father and son said, he became more and more comfortable as the Kaifeng Mansion Yin, people used to respect him only because he was Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, but now it is different, now he is one of the real Shilin leaders, Prime Minister Wang Pu personally brought things to their house to thank him, so cool that he didn't want it.
After sending Wang Pu away, Zhao Guangyi felt more and more that he was lacking, and he also felt more and more that the Sun family father and son were powerful, and he was indeed grateful, so he ordered someone to get all the books that could be found on the market, and sent them in a bag.
"Come and see, in addition to these books, I have also made two sets of fine pen and ink inkstones, one for each of you.
Look at this item, the material used is the ivory from the Southern Han Dynasty tribute, look at this one, this hard one is made of the stone rabbit in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is made in ten thousand times, called the iron painting silver hook, this soft pen, with the wool of the small lake in Yangzhou, called the world of fugue, and the pen used by my eldest brother is like this. ”
"Look at this inkstone again, the top inkstone, look at this corner, Yan Zhenqing's style! This is not for you to use, keep the poetry and books for your family.
In addition, this ink and paper are all tributes from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there is money on the market that may not necessarily buy them, so I will also bring you half a car, with Ling Lang's intelligence, it is estimated that it is enough for him to use him in high school. ”
This Zhao Guangyi is really down this time, just such a carload of things, pulled to the door of any rich and noble person in Beicheng, selling 20,000 yuan as if playing, such a thick gift, how can it be said that he is not moved at all?
The key is that this person will still send these things, which can be said to be the most urgent thing for Sun Yue, and Sun Chunming can't refuse at all.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the key is that half a car of books, in the early Song Dynasty, movable type printing had not yet been invented, the price of the book was expensive, not to mention, the key is that it is still few, and money may not be able to buy it, although he said that he just searched the books that can be bought on the market, but the two kings of the people buy books and the things that ordinary people buy can be the same?
Sun Chunming was quite grateful in his heart, so he had to give Zhao Guangyi a deep salute and said, "Thank you for the generous gift of the second king." ”
"Hahaha, thank you, you have to invite me to dinner, what do you think I'm here for? Anyway, the dish you made for me yesterday is really delicious, and tomorrow I will send our cook, and you have to pass on this skill, otherwise I won't be able to eat in the future. ”
"Definitely! Certain! The second king's house is please, the cold house is shabby, and it is sluggish. ”
"What is simple, Si is a humble room, but Wu Dexin, I think your father and son's humble room is no worse than his Liu Yuxi's."
"The second king has won the prize, don't dare to compare with the sages, you sit down for a while, I'll fry two dishes, I'll come in a while, Nier, you go to Beicheng, sell a pot of the best wine, and entertain the two kings."
"Well, all right."
But seeing Zhao Guangyi stretching out his hand to hold Sun Chunming, he mysteriously took out a roll of paper from his arms, and said, "Look at what other good things I brought to you two?" ”
Speaking and spreading it out, it is indeed a pair of words, and it is written: three watches, lights and five watches, which is when the boy is studying.
"Do you know who wrote this to you?"
But seeing that the writing was strong and powerful, and the iron painting was a silver hook, it was not how good-looking, Sun Chunming's eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly, his lips trembled a little, and he asked in disbelief: "Mo... Isn't it... Official? ”
"That's right, it's my eldest brother, yesterday I went into the palace to accompany him to hunt birds, he asked me who wrote the fold, I thought about how many drops of ink in my stomach he didn't know, and he admitted it, as soon as he heard that the article was from Ling Lang's hand, he wrote this persuasion poem on the spot, and asked me to send it."
Saying that, Zhao Guangyi also said to Sun Yue: "Boy, if you don't study hard, you will live up to God's grace." ”
Sun Yue was naturally overjoyed, the imperial examination in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty did not have a vague name, with such a pair of words, as long as his level is not too inferior, the examiner pinched his nose and had to give him a jinshi.
"The villain has thanked the official family and the two kings for their love, and he will work hard to contribute to my great Song Dynasty when he grows up in the future."
