Chapter Forty-Six: Who Doesn't Know Lin Huaju?
Back at Lin Huaju, before Su Wen could speak, Tang Ji was already blinded by the two large boxes of gold.
"Su ...... Su Wen...... You won't ...... It won't be to rob the state treasury, give, rob it!" Tang Ji knotted his tongue and looked at Su Wen with a face full of disbelief.
Su Wen smiled lightly and said, "What are these? From tomorrow, I guarantee that you will count the silver tickets and have cramps!"
Tang Ji asked impatiently, "Honestly, what did you do on this trip?"
Su Wen deliberately sold a pass, and said with a mysterious smile: "Don't say, don't say, you'll naturally know tomorrow!"
After thinking about it, Su Wenfu explained again: "Fat man, remember, from now on, the price of our rouge will be raised to ten taels of silver a box, and we will only sell forty boxes of rouge every day, and if there are more, we will not sell them!
"What!" Tang Ji's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Su Wen, you're crazy!"
Su Wen looked at Tang Ji's fussy appearance, shook his head slowly, and said: "I'm going to go out of the city early tomorrow morning, so the business of the shop will be handed over to you, remember my words, just do it when the time comes!"
Tang Ji also wanted to ask clearly, who expected Su Wen to give him a chance at all, and went straight to Su Yu back to the bedroom, Tang Ji wanted to catch up, but he was reluctant to see the two large boxes of golden light in front of him, and finally thought about it, or gave up the doubts in his heart, and ran to the embrace of gold.
That night, from time to time from the backyard of Lin Huaju came the sound of Suosuo, it was Tang Ji constantly changing the location of the gold, for this matter, Tang Ji was busy all night, almost ready to dig a pit to bury the two chests in it.
In the end, Tang Ji resolutely carried the two large boxes of gold ingots to his bedroom, hid them under the bed, and then used his body as the door to tightly plug the entire gap under the bed board.
This was the first time that Young Master Tang had slept on the floor overnight, but he himself was extremely satisfied with it, according to Tang Ji's words, such a valuable thing, of course, had to be guarded every inch!
Su Wen naturally didn't know Tang Ji's appearance as a miser, because he left Lin Huaju very early the next day and walked out of the gate of the state capital. Su Wen didn't fool Tang Ji yesterday, but he really had something to do, and he had to go in person to do it, and he couldn't pretend to be someone else's hand.
Su Wen was carrying a small burden on his body, which was the one that Yin Wuxian gave him when he left Linchuan City.
It contained a letter addressed to Academician Liu of Hongming Academy.
Hongming Academy is located on the top of Shenmu Mountain in the east of Huizhou Mansion, it is said that it was originally just a very ordinary private school, but since there was a tea saint Lu Yu in it, Hongming Academy has become one of the seven major academies of the human race.
And the most important thing is that the current dean of Hongming Academy is the tea saint Lu Yu himself!
After a hundred years, the Holy Way has withered, and there are very few saints left in the world today, and the reason for this is that in addition to the tragic racial war decades ago, many saints have unfortunately died in the pursuit of higher realms.
There is no end to the way of literature, so the road to seeking holiness is not stopped!
And the reason why the Seven Academies of the Human Race are called the Seven Academies is because in these seven academies, there is at least one true sage in charge!
This is the essence of the Seven Academies!
Su Wen thought about the legends about Hongming Academy in his heart, and his pace unconsciously quickened a little, and he was already a little eager to see the true face of the academy.
It's a pity that Su Wen had just walked to the foot of the mountain when he was stopped.
"If you are not a Hongming student, you are not allowed to enter!"
Su Wen raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him, and his steps paused. He knew that this person must be the mountain guard on the periphery of Hongming Academy, so he bowed respectfully and said: "The student is from Linchuan City, and he came to meet Academician Liu of the Academy today, and he was entrusted by the Lord of Linchuan City to send a letter. ”
As he spoke, Su Wen took out the envelope from his baggage and handed it to the young man to look at.
The young man carefully identified the city lord's mark on the envelope and confirmed that what Su Wen said was true, then nodded, pointed to the pavilion not far away and said, "In that case, you can wait in the pavilion for a while." ”
Su Wen nodded in thanks, and honestly sat down in the gazebo, waiting for the young man's briefing.
About half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a sterile face fluttered down from the mountain, wearing a cyan crown on his head, and white clothes were better than snow, which seemed to be the standard clothing of Hongming Academy.
Seeing the middle-aged man approaching, Su Wen hurriedly got up and saluted, and said respectfully: "I've seen Academician Liu." ”
"You're Su Wen?"
Academician Liu looked at Su Wen carefully, with a smile on his face, nodded and said, "I have long heard that Linchuan City has produced a saint talent who can pass on poems to the world, and now it seems that there is indeed something extraordinary. ”
Su Wen said with some restraint: "My lord praised it falsely. ”
Academician Liu shook his head and said seriously: "Only 15 years old, a poem has been handed down, a poem is extraordinary, and even the lyrics can reach the mirror of extreme sighs, if you are not a saint, then I am afraid that there will be no saint talent in the whole world!"
Su Wen didn't know how to answer this, so he simply chose to be silent.
After a pause, Academician Liu replied again: "In the letter, Brother Yin has already told me that you came to the state capital this time, presumably to prepare for the state exam, I don't know how you are preparing?"
Su Wen didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully: "In terms of poetry, students think that they can pass the test, but in terms of current theory, there are still some deficiencies. ”
The biggest difference between the state exam and the city exam is that in the test questions, the current theory is added, and its essence is somewhat similar to Su Wen's current affairs and politics in his previous life.
After all, where can teenagers really put forward constructive suggestions?
Academician Liu was not surprised by this, and said: "You don't have to worry too much about current affairs, I will send you a copy of the latest current affairs outline in two days, as long as you pay attention to keeping up with the mainstream ideas, there will be no problem." ”
Thinking of this, Su Wen hurriedly bowed down and thanked, "This will bother Academician Liu." ”
Academician Liu nodded, signaled not to be too formal, hesitated for a moment, and still told Su Wen: "Although I know that you have made great achievements in poetry, but you can't do it alone. ”
"In particular, the poems published in the upcoming publication of "The Tao of Literature" are some of the most talented works of the day, and if you can understand the artistic conception, it will be beneficial to you. ”
Su Wen nodded, and secretly wrote down Academician Liu's instructions, and at the end, Academician Liu told Su Wen one by one the points that need to be paid attention to in the state examination, and after confirming that Su Wen remembered them, he said goodbye: "If there is anything you don't understand in the future, you can come to the academy to find me, just inform the students at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Su Wen gratefully bowed his hand to Academician Liu, he knew that the other party, as an academician of Hongming Academy, must be extremely busy on weekdays, and it was really rare to find time to guide him, and he didn't dare to stay longer, but in the end, he still couldn't go up the mountain to see the true face of the academy, which was a little regrettable.
Academician Liu seemed to see what Su Wen was thinking, and said with a stern expression: "Remember, the academy is a place to study, not a place to visit, if you want to enter the academy, you must be more diligent in your studies and strive to be in the top three in the state examination!"
Su Wen's expression was dazed, and he said, "What the adults said is extremely true!"
Seeing this, Academician Liu looked relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, now there is still more than a month before the state exam, with your poetry skills, you just need to stabilize your mind and prepare for the exam with peace of mind, I hope you and I can see you in the academy in the future." ”
Su Wen secretly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Don't dare to live up to the expectations of adults!"
After separating from Academician Liu, Su Wen returned to the city non-stop, however, before he could walk back to Huangli Street, he was frightened by the surging crowd.
Huangli Street, which has always been deserted and lonely, suddenly became extremely lively for some reason.
"It's over, I didn't expect this Lin Huaju's rouge to be sold out so quickly, how can I explain it to Xiaocui when I go back!" A big man in a brocade dress shook his head with a depressed expression.
A person next to him also lamented: "It's all to blame that I hesitated at first, thinking that it would be too exaggerated to ask for ten taels of silver for a box of rouge, who knows, now if you want to buy a box from other people, it will cost at least fifty taels!"
"After all, it's the rouge designated by the big boss of Liu Yan Pavilion, it's different from others, and it is said that it also has the effect of anti-skin aging, so can the price be cheaper?"
"According to the shopkeeper, this rouge is special, and only forty boxes can be made a day, so it looks like we'll have to wait for it early tomorrow!"
The crowd was bustling, most of them returned empty-handed, walking together in groups of three or five, and there was only one topic to talk about, that is, Lin Huaju, who was designated as a dedicated rouge merchant by Liu Yan Pavilion!
As Su Wen expected, since he deliberately used two boxes of gold to hype up yesterday, coupled with today's official announcement that Liu Yange would only buy the rouge of Lin Huaju's family from now on, Lin Huaju's fame immediately spread. Before yesterday, no one had ever heard of this small shop on Huangli Street, and at this moment, there were very few people in the entire Huizhou Mansion who had not heard of the name Lin Huaju.
In addition to the other three green buildings, each sent a small servant to inquire about the situation, there were also many people from the rouge shop who were also mixed in the crowd, wanting to see what was so extraordinary about Lin Huaju's rouge.
Unfortunately, most of them didn't get to see what Lin Huaju's rouge looked like, so they were told that the stock was sold out, and in addition to their disappointment, they were more and more shocked by the popularity of this small shop.
"I heard that the people who bought the rouge today are the daughters of the ministers of various ministries, and they received the news from Liu Yange early in the morning, and they sent people to line up early in the morning!"
"I've heard that even the wife of the governor sent someone to buy two boxes!"
"What's more, I just saw with my own eyes that Miss Ah Zi from Qunfang Yuan is also here. ”
"Ah Zi, isn't that Miss Oiran Ling'er's personal maid?"
As more exciting news broke out more and more frequently, everyone felt more and more that this Lin Huaju's rouge was not ordinary, otherwise, how could even the wife of the state lord, as well as the daughters of those big people, and even the Oiran of Qunfang Yuan have to come to buy it?
Su Wen stood in the crowd, listening to everyone's discussions, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, he knew that Lin Huaju had become famous overnight.
