Zhizhou's mansion is not particularly large, but it is complete, there are several rockeries in the house, and a pavilion stands by the lotus pond, and the two are sitting there drinking tea.

Su Lin entered the mansion and began to look around, the Great Song Dynasty treated literati very highly, and the civil servants were completely enough to make them worry about food and clothing, especially at the level of Zhizhou, there were three thousand taels a year, which could take ten years in ordinary people's homes.

After all, the official is different from Su Lin's business, eating the national meal, lies in a stable word, as long as there is no turmoil, it does not involve the sensitivity of the court, and after returning to his hometown, the savings he has are completely enough to make the family prosperous and let future generations continue to work hard.

There have been no big corrupt officials in the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, which is unbelievable, the so-called greed is just some sophistication, most officials who like money have their own business, and the young man is so rich that he can't take risks.

Occasionally, those who defy the law are all spurned by the people of the world, and the Yulu of this dynasty is nearly ten times that of the previous dynasty, if you are still greedy for ink, it is a problem of nature.

In ancient times, unlike modern times, the use of silver is not much, land and food are the first to bear the brunt, usually listen to a song, eat a banquet, just spend a lot of money in this regard, and it is not every day.

"Little nephew Su Lin, I've seen Uncle Shi." Su Lin walked to the pavilion, bowed slightly to Liu Yan, and arched his hand towards the old man, "I have seen my predecessors in my later life." ”

He didn't know who this old man was, but he could see from Liu Yan's attitude towards the latter that this person's identity was definitely not simple.

"Hehe, the afterlife is terrifying!" Gong Zheng greeted Su Lin and sighed lightly, "Literati style, the next generation of literati models!" ”

Su Lin was said like this, and his old face couldn't help but blush, when he was in the Yamen, his reputation was about to be ruined, and even after his death, he would be left stinking for a hundred years, and under all kinds of grief and indignation, he chanted the poem "Lime Yin", this poem, but it does not belong to him, and now... Hey.

"The predecessors praised falsely, just a poem, not enough to worry about, the model of the younger generation of literati in Yangzhou, should be like Pengju and Zihou..."Smiled embarrassedly, "Su Lin didn't dare to be." ”

Seeing that Su Lin was so humble, Zheng Gong nodded slowly, and then stopped talking.

"Look." Liu Yan put down the teacup and asked, "Wenbang, what happened to me in person this time?" ”

Seeing Liu Yan looking at him, Su Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There's no need to sit down, the little nephew is here to give a gift to Uncle Shi." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yan and Zheng Gong glanced at each other, only to find that Su Lin was holding a jar in his hand, and his brows furrowed: "Although we have known each other for a short time, after all, they are uncles and nephews, and Wen Bang doesn't have to do this." ”

Hearing this, Su Lin knew that Liu Yan had misunderstood, this Zhizhou had always been a little repulsive to such people, so he hurriedly said: "Since it is an uncle and nephew, a nephew visiting an uncle, it is always a little unreasonable not to bring a gift, not to mention, this is just three or five catties of white jade tofu." ”

After speaking, he opened the jar and handed it to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan took the jar, his eyes lit up slightly, he had eaten this white jade tofu, and the people below bought it in the morning and sent some over, he also heard that this white jade and white jade soup were difficult to buy, no, today he sent someone out to buy white jade tofu, but he returned in vain.

"This white jade tofu is delicate and smooth, just like eating fish, but it is not as greasy as the fish, and your aunt loves to eat it." Liu Yan accepted it with a smile, obviously he liked to eat, but he forcibly let Neitang take the blame, and there was no one.

Su Lin didn't expect Liu Zhizhou to have such a cute side, and said with a smile: "If Uncle Shi likes to eat, I will send a few catties over every day, and I can't hide it, this white jade tofu was created by my little nephew." ”

"White jade is like a gentleman, and people are like their name!" Liu Yan laughed three times, and Su Lin was a little embarrassed when he heard it.

Shouldn't you be full of disappointment, and then exhort yourself to "cook far away"?

Isn't this supposed to be the bridge of the traverser in ancient times?

"White jade tofu?" Zheng Gong suddenly took the jar, and after looking inside, he was amazed: "If the old man hadn't heard about it, it would have been difficult to see that this white jade tofu was made of beans." ”

"Why don't the seniors tell the family where they live, and the late students will send someone to send one every day?" Su Lin laughed.

Zheng Gong shook his head, looked at Su Lin and said: "The old man likes to taste food very much, and this white jade tofu naturally wants to try it, but how can it be delicious if it is delivered to the door in person?" ”

"Then I'll wait for the seniors to come and cheer!" Su Lin was stunned, he had to eat in the store in person, this old man was really real.

However, the old people were very stubborn, although the direction was different, but what they believed was the same as that of adolescent rebellious children, and eight horses could not be pulled back, so Su Lin did not say anything like "send it to the door" again.

"Wenbang, you didn't come to me just to send a jar of tofu, right?" Liu Yan asked people to take the tofu down, and asked, "If there is something, just tell me." ”

Sure enough, it's Jiang Lao Spicy, which can be seen that I have other things?

Su Lin pursed his lips, took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his arms, and handed it to Liu Yan: "Please also ask Uncle Shi to accept it." ”

Seeing this, Zheng Gong and Liu Yan's faces were cold, and the latter was even more eager to drive Su Lin out immediately, but fortunately he had a trace of trust in Su Lin.

Liu Yan endured his anger and asked, "Su Wenbang, what do you mean by this, is it possible that you want to bribe this official?" ”

Hearing the words of bribing the official, Su Lin felt abrupt, and hurriedly apologized: "Ah, it's Su Lin's, isn't it... This silver ticket is not for Uncle Shi, but for the soldiers on the front line..."

Zheng Gong took a sip of tea, Fang Cai's anger had already been diluted under the moisture of the tea, and at this time, his eyes were blazing looking at the silver ticket in Su Lin's hand, thoughtful.

Liu Yan was stunned: "Don't you tell me in detail?" ”

"Yesterday, Yue Fei and Yue Pengju drank and talked about the war in the north, and Su Lin felt that he should also contribute." Su Lin said, "Uncle Shi also knows that Su Lin is in the soybean oil business, and in the future, all Su Ji's profits will be donated to the front line, but there is no way, so he has to come to Uncle Shi." ”

Liu Yan listened to Su Lin's explanation, his anger disappeared, and what followed was endless relief: "Wenbang can be so worried about the country, I am very relieved, this silver, for the uncle, I will accept it, and present it to the saint when he presents the chapter." ”

Su Lin nodded, watching the silver ticket being taken away by Liu Yan, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Uncle Shi, the little nephew still has an idea, I don't know, if you don't talk about it, it's feasible or not."

"If you have something to say, say it." Liu Yan is now looking at Su Lin more and more pleasing to the eye, if he recognized Su Lin two days ago, it was completely because of Su Yun, but now he really regards Su Lin as his nephew from the bottom of his heart.

"I want to open a charitable foundation." Su Lin said, "Let the rich people in Yangzhou, and even the entire Jiangnan and even the Great Song Dynasty voluntarily donate money to it, and the money can be used to support the front line, disaster relief, and even... Establishment of the Academy. ”
