Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 24 Gifts
The turmoil ended with the desperate fight of the Sun family father and son. Although the house was smashed by others, it was not without benefits. At least in the area of ​​Nancheng, no one dared to provoke them anymore.

Even a big boss like Wang Yansheng has been taken down, who dares to come here to seek death?

However, they were not excited for too long, because they still had to live this day.

Every morning, their pan-fried noodles, ramen, and fried noodles are still selling very well. Even because of this incident, many nobles in the northern city have heard of his place. It has become a must-visit place for gourmets in the North City.

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

The firing of red bricks is also very successful. In fact, the technical content of this thing is not high. People of Sun Chunming’s age built houses by themselves when they were young. It is not high, and although the red bricks fired are not superior, they are definitely usable.

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

The red bricks are different. Compared with the blue bricks, this thing is really much lighter. You can feel the practicality of this thing after a little thought. At this moment, I feel more happy than the gold bricks when I look at these red bricks. The work is getting harder and harder.

At noon on this day, because the family was building a house, Sun Chunming stopped talking. He closed the food stall and was busy behind, but he saw an ox cart slowly coming from the corner of the street, surrounded by dozens of soldiers. The person above the spring breeze is full of will, and it is Zhao Guangyi, the majestic governor of Kaifeng.

"Brother Chunming, brother Chunming, I'm here to see you."

When Sun Chunming and Sun Yue heard the voice, they knew it was Zhao Guangyi who was coming. They quickly jumped out from the backyard and bowed to Zhao Guangyi, "I have met the second king."

"No, no, brother Chunming, I admire your knowledge and character. Young Master Ling is even more of a child prodigy, and you don't have to stick to your status as a prime minister. Let's see what good things I brought you?"

As he spoke, Zhao Guangyi jumped out of the ox cart, opened the thick cloth on the cart, and found half a cart full of books and half a cart of paper.

"I know that you, father and son, are noble and disdain to accept things from Adu, but if you want to study, you always need these books. I am not that rich prince who doesn't know the sufferings of the people. When I was young, there were people in my family who were poor and couldn't afford to eat. When I was a child, I knew how difficult it was for a poor family to study, so I gave these books to my son in the hope that he could go to high school as soon as possible. You can't refuse, can you?"

To say that Zhao Guangyi was able to do such a big thing in history, no matter how young or bad, there are still some shining points, at least this corporal who is courteous and virtuous is very talented in winning people's hearts. Charismatic.

After Wang Yansheng finished class, as Sun Chunming and his son said, he became more and more comfortable in his job as Kaifeng governor. In the past, people only respected him because he was Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, but now it is different. Now he is a real scholar leader. One day, Prime Minister Wang Pu personally brought things to their house to express his gratitude, which made him happy that he didn't want them.

The so-called drinking water does not forget the well digger. After sending Wang Pu away, Zhao Guangyi felt more and more lacking in himself and the power of the Sun family father and son. I got all the books I got, packed them in a package and delivered them to them.

"Look, in addition to these books, I also got two good sets of pen, ink and inkstone, and you two have one set for each of you.

Look at this pen, it is made of ivory that was brought as a tribute in the Southern Han Dynasty. Look at this brush pen, this hard pen is made of an old rabbit on a stone in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is made of one in Wanzhong. It is called an iron painting silver hook. It's a soft pen made of small lake wool from Yangzhou, and it's called "Mind Traveling Heaven and Earth", just like the pen used by my elder brother. "

"Look at this square inkstone. It's a top-notch Duan inkstone. Look at this corner. It belongs to Yan Zhenqing! This is not for you to use. It should be kept for family heirlooms.

In addition, this ink and paper are all tribute from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even if you have money on the market, you may not be able to buy them. I will also bring you half a cart. With your master's intelligence, I guess they will be enough for him to use until he is in high school. "

This time, Zhao Guangyi really made a fool of himself this time. With just such a cart, he dragged it to the door of any wealthy family in the North City, and sold it for [-] guan. How could he not be moved by such a generous gift?

The key is that this person will give them away. These things can be said to be the things that Sun Yue needs most, and there is no way that Sun Chunming can refuse.

It’s just pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The key is the half cart of books. In the early Song Dynasty, movable type printing had not been invented yet. Not only were the books expensive, but the key was that they were few and you might not be able to buy them if you had money. Although he said he was just putting them on the market. I searched through all the books available online, but can the books bought by the two great kings be the same as those bought by ordinary people?

Sun Chunming was very grateful in his heart, so he had no choice but to bow deeply to Zhao Guangyi, saying: "Thank you, Second King, for your generous gift."

"Hahaha, thank you. You have to invite me to dinner. What do you think I am here for? By the way, the dish you cooked for me yesterday was really delicious. I will send our chef over tomorrow. You have to pass on this skill to me." Otherwise, I won’t be able to eat in the future.”

"Definitely! Definitely! Please come to the second king's house. The humble residence is simple and simple, so I'm neglecting it."

"What is it? It's a humble room, but I, Dexin, I don't think your father and son's humble room is worse than his Liu Yuxi's."

"The Second King has received the award. I don't dare to compare it to the sages. Please sit down for a moment while I cook two dishes. I'll be here in a minute. Ni'er, go to Beicheng quickly and buy a pot of the best wine to entertain the Second King."

"Oh, okay."

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

As I said, I spread it out to see that there was indeed a pair of words, and it was written: the lights are on at three o'clock and the chicken is on five o'clock, which is when the man is studying.

"Do you know who wrote this to you?"

But when he saw that the word was written vigorously and with iron hooks and silver hooks, it couldn't be said to be very pretty. Sun Chunming's eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly, his lips were trembling a little, and he asked in disbelief: "Mo... .Could it be...an official?"

"Yes, it's my eldest brother. Yesterday I went to the palace to accompany him to hunt birds. He asked me who wrote the book. I thought he didn't know the few drops of ink in my belly, so he admitted it. As soon as I heard that the article was written by my son, I wrote this poem to encourage students to study on the spot and asked me to send it to him."

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

Sun Yue was naturally overjoyed. The imperial examinations in the early Northern Song Dynasty did not have a vague name method. With such a set of characters, as long as his level is not too low, the examiner will give him a Jinshi even if he pinches his nose.

"The little man thanks the officials and the two kings for their love. He will work hard and contribute to the Song Dynasty when he grows up."

　This book will test the water tomorrow, and to be honest, I am a little nervous. Do you have a recommendation ticket for me?
