Chapter 139 Xiao Sanyuan

Su Ruojin and her two younger brothers had so much fun playing in the peach grove, sea of ​​flowers, and barbecue that they all fell asleep on the mule cart on the way home.

Cheng Yingzhen looked at the carefree child, feeling happy and sad at the same time, "Official, look at this, what should I do if my uncle is determined to go to the Imperial College?"

Su Yanli gently patted Xiao Silang who was sleeping in his arms, "I guess Ah Jin refused for me!"

“If she has a child, my brother-in-law is afraid...”

Her daughter is not an ordinary child. Su Yanli comforted his wife, "Don't worry, even if Yan Zu cannot enter the Imperial College, our family will not move to Su's house, I promise."

 Cheng Yingzhen nodded. She was used to living without her parents-in-law, and she was most afraid of being forced into the Su family's door due to ethics and filial piety.

On the second day, after teaching the boxing and kicking skills, Huaping pulled the second wife aside and asked quietly, "Do you still want to check?"

“Of course I’ll check.”

Huaping:…

“Only those who know their enemies and themselves can fight a hundred battles without danger.”

Huaping:…

Are these still uncles and nephews? It's like fighting a fierce enemy.

Hua Ping went to the small courtyard and told Mr. Shen that he was going to check on Su Erniang’s brother-in-law.

“What a coincidence, the little prince just sent someone to bring a letter, asking you to check on this person.”

"The little prince is also worried that Su Yanzu will be harmful to Dr. Su's family?"

"I don't know about this. Just check if the little master asks you to."

The little prince is really concerned about his teacher’s family affairs! After Hua Ping sighed with emotion, he mobilized people to investigate Su Yanzu, a scholar from Jiangnan.

Ten days later, the news from Pingjiang Mansion finally reached the capital. Zhao Lan heard the news of Hua Ping’s investigation in person.

Su Yanzu, a native of Tangxi Town, Pingjiang Prefecture, was a child prodigy from all over the country at a young age. Not only could he recite poems and compose poems, but he was also good at calligraphy and painting. From the time he took the boy examination at the age of ten, to the age of eleven A scholar at the age of 10, he ranked first in county examinations, government examinations and hospital examinations, and became a famous local Xiao Sanyuan.

After he was admitted as a scholar with the first place, Su Dekai had high expectations for him. Three years later, he asked him to take part in the Juren Examination. As a result, Su Yanzu lost his name. From then on, he took the exam every three years until February this year. In the third grade exam, no one passed the exam.

Although he failed to pass the examination, it did not prevent him from becoming a famous talent in the Jiangnan area. In the past nine years, his calligraphy, painting and calligraphy skills were praised by even the reclusive Confucian scholars for his extremely high talent. A painting even sold for more than a thousand taels.

Zhao Lan was extremely impatient when he heard this, "How is the marriage going?"

"Su Dekai asked people to show his son several houses, but Su Yanzu rejected them all. He even promised that he would never get married and become a monk when he grows up. Su Dekai was so angry that he became ill for a month and did not go out."

“If he doesn’t get married, is there anything he can’t say?”

This... I really haven’t heard about it.

Huaping continued, "I heard that Su Yanzu had several friends who were friends in poetry and painting. They gathered together all day long to talk about poetry and painting. For this reason, Su Dekai not only destroyed the small courtyard of poetry and painting, but also His son made money, but Su Yanzu was extremely talented in business. He left Pingjiang and found a beautiful place in Runzhou to buy a small garden and named it Suixin Caotang. He not only met literati here, but also opened an inn to exchange delicious food. He participated in poetry conferences and art exhibitions, and collected all his talents and wealth. He was highly sought after by a group of literati and became their role model.

The young master was still impatient after listening for a long time. Mr. Shen asked thoughtfully, "Is this person a womanizer?"

Huaping replied: "I specifically mentioned this to the inquirer. The inquirer said that apart from making friends through literature, he also traveled with literati. Whether it was in his small garden or on the way to the mountains, he never got close to him. Beauty.”

How can you be so clean and self-possessed? Nine out of ten literati like to be elegant. Elegance does not only refer to writing, painting, raising flowers and birds, that is Qinlou Chuguan. It is euphemistically called elegant, but in fact it means sensuality.

Su Ruojin was filled with emotion after listening to Hua Ping’s investigation, “I have spent all my energy on ‘not doing my job’, so where can I get passed the examination?”

Hua Ping smiled.

“My cheap grandfather doesn’t care?”

"Why don't you care?" Hua Ping said, "I heard that the stick not only broke many sticks, but also cut off his money. The result was good, and it inspired your uncle's business talent. The Suixin Cottage he opened in Runzhou became a favorite among literati from the north and the south. Land, a lot of money in the pocket."

Su Ruojin:…
