Chapter 208 Meeting Lu Deming Again

"What, you said that you want to buy me a house?" Feng Chang's reaction was really big. After hearing Luo Yan's words, he stood up screaming.

It's not that Feng Chang didn't pay attention during this time. For a person who only knows how to farm in his life, the price of Chang'an is simply heaven.Rice costs thirty cents a bucket, cabbage costs two cents a catty, and fish is ridiculously expensive.Based on the little money he made for farming in Luzhou, he might not be able to survive even a month in Chang'an with a year's harvest.But at this moment Luo Yan actually offered to buy him a house.

"I said brother, it's really not possible. Your sister-in-law and I will go to Luzhou. The child can stay here and take care of you, but you don't want to waste that money." Feng Chang I don't know what to do, and I don't dare to think about it.I can rely on my brother-in-law to get a title, and rely on the fief to be able to live comfortably for the rest of my life.Now that Luo Yan is required to pay more money, Feng Chang can't accept it because of emotion and reason.

Luo Yan was very helpless when he said this, so he had no choice but to stand up and push Feng Chang on the chair, and then said: "Brother, you don't need to be so polite. You must know something about living in the mansion during this time. Although I don't have a high official position and salary Less, but the corresponding cost is also less. Not to mention the fief tax brought by the title, and the money rewarded by His Majesty every now and then. These things are basically dead things piled up in the mansion."

"Brother, as a lord of the court, I was not in the house before, so it was fine to live. But now that I am back, it will inevitably be criticized if I continue to live. But considering the future of the two nephews, the elder brother has to stay. Left and right There is no shortage of money, so I can just buy a place to shelter my children and grandchildren." Luo Yan's words moved Feng Chang.Whether it is farming or reading, it is nothing more than giving future generations a better future.

And people in the world place more emphasis on mansions and fields. If you can buy a yard in Chang'an, even if you have poor descendants in the future, if you buy a mansion and go to the countryside, you can be a rich man for life.Thinking of this, Feng Chang no longer refused, but said to Luo Yan: "The best thing I did in my life was getting to know you." Luo Yan smiled: "If there is no elder brother's support, Luo Yan can't say Today, even being able to survive is a blessing from heaven."

After exchanging emotions, Luo Yan was also a little tired, so after talking a few more words, they each went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day was not a day for rest and bathing. Although Guozixue was on holiday, Lu Deming still had to go to the East Palace to give lectures.Luo Yan took advantage of this time to accompany Feng Chang to see the mansion under the leadership of the housekeeper.

There are three places that are relatively close to Luo Yan's mansion, and it took half a day to wander around.In the end, Feng Chang really had a hard time making a choice, so he handed over the choice to Luo Yan.After much deliberation, he finally decided on the residence of Wailang, a former member of the Ministry of Industry.This Yuan Wailang was exiled to a central state in the south as the governor a month ago, so he was promoted.The governor could not return to the capital within a year or two after taking office, so after careful consideration, he decided to sell the mansion, and Luo Yan happened to run into him.

Luo Yan also had special reasons for choosing this mansion.The member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, was also a dexterous man, and he designed his mansion very beautifully. In such a small place, he could actually feel like walking out of a garden.For the Feng Chang family who grew up in the south, it can also feel a little like their hometown.If it wasn't for the fact that he already had a big courtyard, Luo Yan would have thought of this place as his home.

At this time, Yuanwailang had already taken his family member to take up the post, and what was left behind was a side branch of the clan who was good at management.After negotiating with Luo Yan, seeing that Luo Yan's offer was generous, he made the deal without any hesitation.When negotiating the price, they took Luo Yan directly to the Chang'an County Government Office to transfer the land deed.With Luo Yan's reputation, even though the magistrate of Chang'an was not around, the officials below did not dare to neglect at all, Luo Yan only drank a cup of tea, and everything was done properly.

After dealing with these things, because it is not suitable for construction in winter, the reconstruction of the house is postponed, and everything will be packed up in the spring of next year, so that Feng Chang's family can live there.

Just when Luo Yan was dealing with these matters, a long-lost system prompt came from his ear: "Congratulations to the host for completing the long-term mission: the grace of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring. During the mission, the host has no intention of utilitarianism, and an extra reward for strengthening one's own physical fitness , please get the host yourself."

It's exciting enough to complete the task, and I didn't expect there to be additional rewards.If you want to strengthen your physique as a reward, you need a lot of reputation points to redeem it in the system.With the prestige points that Luo Yan has accumulated for several years, he only exchanged them once or twice, but he didn't expect that there would be a free one now.Think about it, let's save it for self-strengthening when you sleep.

With a smile on his face, he took Feng Chang and the housekeeper to have lunch, and then returned to the house.

But Luo Yan couldn't be idle at this time, he took the gift that Jinzhou had bought from his room, and went straight to Lu's residence.If he really postponed the visit to Lu Deming until tomorrow, it would be a great crime for him.

Luo Yan is in the Lu Mansion, he is equivalent to the young master of the Lu Mansion. Now that the concierge sees Luo Yan coming in, he doesn't even need to notify him.Bowing and saluting, he said: "Mr. Xiao Lang is back. The master is talking to Assistant Professor Kong in the study at the moment. You can go there on your own, and the old slave will not bother you." Anyway, Kong Yingda is also an old acquaintance of Luo Yan, so the concierge will naturally not Arrange Luo Yan to wait in the living room.

After thanking the concierge, Luo Yan found the study by familiarizing himself with the way.When they walked to the door, they happened to hear Kong Yingda and Lu Deming laughing and talking about what happened to Luo Yan a while ago.

"From my point of view, boy Luo is a bit petty this time. It's just a set of innovations in poetry style. With his style, isn't even the style of writing involved. I'm just angry with him, so I deliberately let him be well Make things difficult."

"You, how come you have the same level of knowledge as the younger generation. Besides, my disciple is also afraid to speak out, and it involves too much at once. Do you want him to make it difficult for him to move forward in Shilin?"

"It's not that difficult to move an inch, and it will only waste a few years at most. With his current age and knowledge, even if it takes a few years, he will still be able to soar into the sky in the end."

"You don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. Who are you and who is he. What you said is so good, why don't you bring it up?"

"Didn't I already say that, in front of so many Guozixue students that day, I just said it. You just want to blame me, why don't you say that your disciples are petty."

Hearing the bickering between the two old men, Luo Yan couldn't bear it anymore, knocked on the door, bowed and said: "Teacher, the students are back to see you."

There was only a voice in the room: "Look, whoever you say is coming." Amid Kong Yingda's complaints, Lu Deming said with a smile: "Come in by yourself, don't you want two old men like me to open the door for you?" When the proud disciple came to the door, Lu Deming was even more proud in front of Kong Yingda.Who cares what Kong Yingda is reading.

Pushing open the door, two old gentlemen sat opposite each other across the desk.As the door gradually opened, Kong Yingda also turned around, looked at Luo Yan and cursed with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you kid, I was talking about you, and you came here. Do it quickly, what happened a few days ago You've done a good job, but you're too stingy, and you'd better ask us old people to support you, which is really unreasonable."

Luo Yan bowed to the two, and then replied: "Students are still newcomers in the literary world after all. If you take too many steps, you will inevitably waste time. It is better to come one by one. The style of poetry has changed, and the style of writing will go far." Well. I think Assistant Professor Kong is well versed in the principle of step by step, so he came out to speak at the end, and solved the boy's embarrassment in one fell swoop. It also let the boy breathe a sigh of relief in advance. I was thinking about visiting your old man in person some time later, but I didn't expect to see you today caught."

Pointing at Luo Yan and laughing for a while, Kong Yingda scolded: "Among these young people, you are the only one who is annoying. You are so clever, I am afraid that you will make people feel uneasy in the future."

Hearing what Kong Yingda said, Lu Deming also came out to make a rescue: "Okay, those are the things that young people need to worry about. Let's wait and listen carefully to what Jinzhi has done in the past six months." After all, he left Chang'an for several months, only a few letters Communication is far inferior to a real person talking about it here, so after hearing Lu Deming's words, Kong Yingda also nodded and said: "Boy, you can talk about it."

Putting down the things in his hands, Luo Yan bowed again, and then he said: "There is no higher opinion in the court than Wang Junkuo's arrogance about the Youzhou matter. However, the disciples observed from the side, the long history Li Xuandao and Wang Junkuo were at odds, although Wang Junkuo was indifferent. , but Li can't strictly prohibit it, which is also a very important reason. As for Jinzhou, the innovation of poetry style is to let the articles be educated. Although there are many obstacles in this process, as long as we persist, we will definitely gain something."

Nodding, Lu Deming said: "The matter of Youzhou is actually different from what the court said and what we know, but the matter has come to this point, so don't say any more, so as not to cause side effects. As for the matter of innovation, although you and I There are also many discussions in the letters, but now it seems that although the innovation of poetic style has been approved by everyone, there are not many good poems produced at the moment, which is a big problem.”

"That's okay. Why use the story of the original "Disciples Regulations" to create new poems in places such as Hongwenguan, Taixue, and Guozixue. In this way, it can be followed to various counties. Although this process is a bit slow, But at least we can see a result while you and I are alive." Kong Yingda thought of Luo Yan's trick at the beginning, asking Li Shimin to use "Disciple Regulations" as a book for elementary school in Hongwen Museum, and now many states and counties in the world have begun to gradually use it .

"Well, this is also a way, but I'm afraid I won't see the innovation of writing style." Lu Deming sighed a little.

This made Luo Yan a little sad, Lu Deming is indeed getting older, and it is rare for people to be in their [-]s. Lu Deming's age really cannot make people give him more promises.But Luo Yan still said: "The disciple must spend his entire life to do this well. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of the teacher's teachings."

Hearing Luo Yan's words, Lu Deming felt very relieved.

　Just now, in a daze, I forgot the title of the chapter and cried to death. "The Rise of the Northern Song Dynasty" weaves dreams with light and darkness, and casts monuments with strategy and iron blood.Welcome everyone to move.
