Chapter 23 Gifts

The storm ended with the desperate struggle between the Sun family and his son. Although the house was smashed by others, it was not without benefits. At least, there was no dare to mess with them in the territory of Nancheng.

Even a big shot like Wang Yansheng has been brought down. Who dares to come over and seek death?

But they weren't excited for too long, because they still had to live this life.

Every morning, their fried noodles, ramen and fried noodles are still very popular. Even because of this incident, many noble people from Beicheng heard about him. After tasting it, the taste is really great, and it gradually became a must-visit place for the gluttons in Beicheng.

Although his place is small and there is not even a seat, the foodie's heart will not be shaken by such trivial matters. If it really doesn't work, can the servants pack it and go home to eat?

The firing of red bricks is also very successful. In fact, this thing is not technically high. When Sun Chunming was a child, he built his own houses. How many things can't be burned? The loess in the North China Plain are not high in calcium. Although the burned red bricks are not considered high, they can definitely be used.

Lao Fang and others looked at the red squares burned out and were so happy that they smiled. Although there were blue brick buildings in the Song Dynasty, blue bricks were too bulky and the cost was a bit beyond the limit, so they were not popular in civilian use.

Red bricks are different. This thing is so lighter than blue bricks. You can feel the practicality of this thing after a little thought. At this time, looking at these red bricks only feel more joyful than gold bricks, and the work is getting harder and harder.

At noon that day, Sun Chunming stopped talking about books because of the house building. He collected the food stall and was busy at the back. But he saw a ox cart slowly coming from the corner of the street, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers. The person in the cart was full of spring breeze. It was Zhao Guangyi, the prefect of Kaifeng.

"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 rushed out of the backyard and bowed to Zhao Guangyi, "I have met the two kings."

"No, no, Brother Chunming, I admire your knowledge and character. The young master is even more a child prodigy and a prime minister. You don't have to be confined to your identity. See what good things I bring to you?"

As he said that, Zhao Guangyi jumped out of the ox cart and opened the thick cloth on the cart. It turned out to be half a cart of books and half a cart of paper.

"I know that you father and son are noble and don't want to accept things like A Du, but the son wants to learn, and this book is always needed. I am not the rich prince who doesn't know the sufferings of the people. When I was a teenager, I was poor and couldn't afford to eat. I knew the difficulty of studying in poor families. I gave these books to the son. I hope he can go to high school as soon as possible. You can't refuse this, right?"

If Zhao Guangyi can do such a big thing in history, no matter how tender or bad it is, there are still some bright spots. At least this kind of respect and wise men are very talented to win over people's hearts. To be honest, it is quite personal.

After Wang Yansheng was over, as Sun Chunming and his son said, he, as the prefect of Kaifeng, became more and more comfortable. In the past, people respected him just because he was Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, but now it is different. Now he is one of the real leaders of the Shilin. Prime Minister Wang Pu personally brought something to their house to express his gratitude to him, so he was so happy that he didn't want it.

As the saying goes, the man who did not forget to dig wells when he drank water. After seeing Wang Pu off, Zhao Guangyi felt his shortcomings more and more that he felt the power of the Sun family and his son. In addition, he was indeed grateful, so he ordered people to get all the books that could be found on the market, and then sent them a bag.

"Look at it. In addition to these books, I have also made two sets of good pens and inkstones, each of you two is one set.

Look at this brush, the material used is ivory from the Southern Han Dynasty. Look at this brush, this hard brush is made of old rabbits on stones from Jiangnan, and is called an iron-painted silver hook. This soft brush is made of Xiaohu wool from Yangzhou, called Shenyou Tiandi, and this brush is like this."

"Look at this inkstone, the top Duan inkstone, look at this corner, Yan Zhenqing's style! This is not for you to use, keep poetry and books to pass on the family.

In addition, the ink and paper are all tributed by the Southern Tang Dynasty. If you have money on the market, you may not be able to buy it. I will bring you half a cart. With the cleverness of the man, it is probably enough for him to use it in high school."

Zhao Guangyi really got the book this time. He just took a car of things to the door of any wealthy man in the North City. He sold 20,000 yuan like playing. How could he be so generous with such a generous gift?

The key is that this person will give it to you. These things can be said to be what Sun Yue needs the most, and it is impossible for Sun Chunming to refuse.

It’s okay to have pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The key is that half a cart of books was not invented in the early Song Dynasty. Not only was the price of books expensive, but the key is that they were still small, and they might not be able to buy them if they had money. Although he said that he had just searched the books they bought on the market, can the two kings buy books the same as those bought by ordinary people?

Sun Chunming was quite grateful and had to bow deeply to Zhao Guangyi and said, "Thank you for your kind gift from the two kings."

"Hahaha, thank you, you have to treat me to dinner. What do you think I'm here to do? The dish you cooked for me yesterday is really delicious. I'll send our chef tomorrow. You have to pass on this craft, otherwise I won't be able to eat in the future."

"It's certain! It's certain! The second king's house is simple and negligent."

"What a simple thing? This is a humble room, but my virtue is sincere. I think the humble room of your father and son is no worse than that of him, Liu Yuxi."

"The second king has won the award, and I dare not compare with the ancestors. Please sit down and I will cook two dishes. I will come later. Nier, go to Beicheng and buy a pot of the best wine to entertain the second king."

"Oh, okay."

But Zhao Guangyi reached out to hold Sun Chunming, took out a roll of paper from his arms mysteriously, and said, "Look at what good things I have brought to you two?"

As I said that, I saw a word that was indeed written on it, and the book was written: The lights were on the third day and the fifth day was when a man was studying.

"Do you know who wrote this to you?"

But seeing that the words were written strongly and powerfully, and the iron-painted silver hooks were not very good-looking. Sun Chunming widened his eyes and stood up with a slight trembling lips. He asked in disbelief: "Don't... Could it be... the official?"

"Yes, it's my eldest brother. Yesterday I went to the palace to accompany him to kill birds. He asked me who wrote the memorial. When I thought about whether he didn't know the few drops of ink in my belly, he admitted it. When he heard that the article was written by a man, he wrote this poem to encourage learning on the spot and asked me to send it."

As he said that, Zhao Guangyi also said to Sun Yue: "Boy, if you don't study hard, you will let God down."

Sun Yue was naturally overjoyed. The imperial examinations in the early Northern Song Dynasty did not have any famous methods. With such a word, as long as his level was not too high, the examiner would have to give him a Jinshi when he pinched his nose.

"The villain thanked the official family and the second king for their kindness. He will work hard and contribute to the great Song Dynasty when he grows up in the future."
