Chapter 81: Su Zhong
After Zhao Zhi's trouble at the gate of Jian'an Mansion, the Golden Pages Holy Decree appeared, and almost instantly, the entire Jian'an Mansion spread, knowing that a new child Su Lin was the head of the case, and he could actually write poems about Zhenguo. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, they still don't know what kind of Zhenguo poems Su Lin wrote. There is only a rubbing version in the hands of those Confucian scholars in Sitong Town outside the Guan, and it is estimated that there are only a few people in Jian'an Mansion who know about it.
Su Lin walked along the road to the mansion of Yuan Tianzhang, the prefect of Jian'an Mansion, and after the report, he entered the mansion, and his sister Su Ru ran over happily as soon as she saw him.
Prefect Yuan Tianzhang saw the family jade plate handed to him by Su Yuan hanging from Su Lin's waist at a glance, pinched his beard and said with a smile:
"Su Lin, you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and attach yourself to the Su family under the big tree. Even if the Zhao family wants to target you, you have to weigh it. ”
"The prefect has good eyesight! The student has indeed just come out of the ancestral hall of the Su family, verifying the bloodline of the Su family. ”
Su Lin took off the identity jade plate on his waist, the front was an ancient seal "Su" character, and the back was the word "thirteen" representing the order.
"Although the Zhao family has many powerful henchmen in the Wu State, the Su family is even better.
Especially the Su family is a lineage of the Zongheng family, Su Lin with your talent, if you specialize in the art of the Zongheng family, plus the inheritance assistance accumulated by the Su family for thousands of years, you must be a Su Qin with the 'Six Kingdoms Seal'!"
Yuan Tianzhang nodded, and said, "However, the Zongheng family is still a small path, allowing you to specialize in the art of vertical and horizontal, but you have condescended." ”
As the prefect of Jian'an Prefecture, Yuan Tianzhang has long known in his heart that Su Lin is enlightened by the Confucian remarks of "gentlemen are not instruments", and he is an immortal genius comparable to the half-saint Mencius, but he is forced to be unable to explain it by the half-saint "gag order".
"The prefect has an overreputation. For the time being, students do not know much about the art of the Zongheng family, and in the future, they will become the head of the Bo Baijia in the government, study diligently, and find the way that best suits them. ”
Su Lin smiled with a smile, took out the holy decree he received today from his Qiankun bag, and asked suspiciously, "However, Lord Prefect, when I received the holy decree from the monarch today, the student has some doubts.
In the holy decree, the monarch appointed me as the prince's attendant, I don't know what level of official position it is, but I need to go to the palace in the capital to take up my post?"
Because Su Lin was obsessed with the inheritance of the Su family and the wonders of the holy characters, he forgot to ask Su Yuan about the "prince's attendant" on this holy decree, so now he had to come to ask the prefect Yuan Tianzhang for advice.
"Haha! Surin, you have to worry about this. It is precisely in the consideration that you are now in the year of learning, and you should devote yourself to the Tao and study diligently, and it is not appropriate to be knighted and hold official positions.
That's why I gave you this 'prince attendant' who doesn't even have a false title.
On the contrary, 'with the royal people, enter the palace freely', it is the supreme glory of the Wu country, which means that you have been favored by the emperor and the emperor's grace is immense!
Hearing this, the prefect Yuan Tianzhang laughed twice and explained, "When the crown prince of the dynasty is only one year old, I'm afraid that you, the prince, will not be able to enter the palace until three or four years at the earliest."
But in my opinion, I'm afraid you will already be a person or even a jinshi by then. I just heard from Du'er, you plan to take the government examination in half a month to get a show?"
"I see, I can study at the government with peace of mind. ”
Su Lin said again, "Lord Prefect, although the student has just taken the first child in the examination, he also wants to try it for the government examination. Even if you can't get the middle talent, it's good to be able to increase your knowledge. ”
Do you know why many children often take the government examination for the first time two to three years after they have been born as a child?
They are afraid that the shadow of failure brought about by failing in the government examination will hinder the progress of thinking. Therefore, after two or three years of accumulation, I dared to apply for the government examination.
The advice of this government is that you should wait until next year at the earliest, so that it is safer. ”
Although he knew that Su Lin was talented, Yuan Tianzhang still opened his mouth to persuade.
After all, the imperial examination is not only about whether the talent is intelligent, but also about the accumulation and understanding of Confucianism and the Hundred Schools of Thought.
"Thank you for your kindness, but that's the way of a student, and if you don't try it because you're afraid of the shadow of failure, it's a shadow in itself. ”
Su Lin held his head high, but he still insisted on his opinion.
"Surin, you have your own way.
You don't have to take the advice of others and the opinions of others too seriously. Follow your path, don't have too many scruples, just keep going. This is the open-mindedness that my generation of Confucian scholars should have!"
After hearing Su Lin's words, Yuan Tianzhang also had an understanding in his heart, and reminded Su Lin again:
"You are the third elder of the Su family, Su Yuan, who brought into the Su family, but now the person in charge of the Su Mansion is the second Su Zhong, although Su Zhong also practices the Zonghengjia thought, but he is more business-oriented, and he is a scholar, and he does not hold any official position.
Su Zhong was dedicated to taking care of the Su family's business, so that the Su family almost monopolized the entire maritime industry of Wu. Moreover, Su Zhong has a perverse temperament and a businessman who is profitable, Su Lin, you should pay attention to one point when facing Su Zhong. ”
"Su Zhong, when I was in Su Mansion today, I didn't see this uncle of the second clan. Thank you for your advice, and the students will pay more attention. ”
Su Lin thanked him, and then said to Yuan Du on the side, "Brother Yuan, when I take Ru'er back to the Su family to settle down, how about we meet in the mansion in the afternoon?" ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Su at the gate of the mansion. Yuan Du said.
Coming out of Yuan's Mansion, Su Lin took his sister Su Ru back to Sufu, and along the way, he was thinking about the words of Yuan Tianzhang, the prefect of the Mansion, and he was also curious about who Su Zhong, the uncle of the merchant-heavy clan of Sufu, was.
"Brother, is this the mansion we are going to live in in the future?
When she arrived at the gate of Su Mansion, Su Ru looked at the mighty Su Mansion with a list of astrolabes and couldn't help but exclaim.
"This is the Su family of Jian'an Mansion, it can be said that it is the same bloodline as our Su family in Fengle County, and they are all descendants of Su Qin, the Warring States Vertical and Horizontal Family.
Now that my brother has entered the Su family in Jian'an Mansion, don't look at the momentum of these mansions, we just have two wings in them. ”
In front of the Su Mansion, Su Lin showed the identity jade plate on his waist before he could take Su Ru into the mansion.
The luxury in the Su Mansion is no longer comparable to the general aristocracy, among which the garden is fragrant, the flowers are blooming, the four seasons are like spring, the rockeries are lined up, the rare and exotic beasts are walking, walking in the meantime, as if taking a leisurely walk, there is a natural lake surrounded by it, and the building platform is built in the lake, which can only be reached by rowing a boat from the shore.
Before, Su Lin was led by Su Yuan to run through the corridor of the Su family, and he didn't see the scenes in these gardens, but now he took Su Ru all the way over, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"The Su family is really worthy of being a great family with thousands of years of inheritance, and the heritage is very very, even in this garden, there are flower baskets and kettle treasures to form a holy power protection, so that the temperature is like spring all the time, and the flowers are blooming all the time......"
"Brother, look! That's the spring flower, it's late autumn now, and there are still spring flowers blooming!"
Su Ru is an innocent and lively girl, where is there anyone who doesn't love flowers?
As soon as he saw the flowers in this garden in full bloom, he jumped into the flowers and smiled, eager to turn into a bee butterfly.
After stopping in the garden for a while, Su Lin took Su Ru to the side room where he was arranged.
The room has been cleaned by the subordinates of Sufu, spacious and bright, and there are people from Sufu who light up the good smell of incense, which is clean and calm, especially conducive to reading and writing.
"Ru'er, you rest in the room first. If you're bored, head to the garden. However, Su Mansion is too big, and there are many rules, if you don't understand something, ask more people.
My brother will report to the government first, and when everything is settled, he will teach you to read and write. ”
After settling his sister Su Ru, Su Lin left Su Mansion again and went to the courtyard of Jian'an Mansion.
However, it was not long after Surin had just left.
The second master of Su Mansion, who is now Su Zhong, who is now the head of Su Mansion, returned to the mansion in a sedan chair.
"Welcome the second master back home. ”
The steward Su Gui hurriedly stepped forward to welcome the second master back to the house, and reported some important matters in the house today:
"Report to the second master, in the house today, the seventh prince Su Hong took two generals to set off to the wilderness outside the customs to practice.
The eleventh son, Su Ye, has already made up his mind to apply for the government examination and take the show...... There is also a third master who came back today, and brought back the thirteenth son, Su Lin, to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors for a blood test, which confirmed that it was the bloodline of my Su family. ”
Carefully accompanied Su Zhong's side, while walking, Su Gui reported on today's major events in the house.
Na Su Zhong only nodded silently when he heard the previous matters, but when he heard the last thing about Su Lin's recognition of his ancestors and his return to his ancestors, he was shocked:
"Su Lin, but Su Lin, the head of the case who was troubled by the Zhao family at the gate of the city today and can write poems about the town?"
"It was the thirteenth prince Su Lin, the second master, and the third master specially ordered. Although the thirteenth prince Su Lin is a distant relative, he is extremely talented, and he will definitely be extraordinary in the future, and his life will be small...... Speak on your behalf......"
Su Gui raised his head and glanced at Su Zhong slightly, before he said, "Let the second master not make things too difficult for the thirteenth prince Su Lin." ”
"Haha......! This third brother is also really. Don't you know that there is a cloud in the "Book of Rites": 'If jade is not cut, it will not be made.' 'What?'
Su Zhong, who was originally with a straight face, laughed loudly at this time, "My Su family has finally produced such a genius Puyu, how can I not carve it well?
"This ...... The second master, the thirteenth prince just went out to the mansion, and he was not in the mansion. Su Gui replied truthfully.
"I forgot! Su Lin is the first child of the case, and he should be qualified to enter the government to study. Ha ha!
This time, I want to see, the old man at the head of the courtyard who has repeatedly refused to allow my Zongheng family's Su Mansion son to enter the mansion to study, this time I have seen a genius like Su Lin, what else is there to say! Will he be dumbfounded? Haha!"
When Su Zhong heard this, a smug smile appeared on his face.
