Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 147 Are you willing to marry my daughter? "Here I come!"

As soon as Su Yun stepped into the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Ruo came to greet him, looking at Su Yun with sparkling eyes.

But before he could say anything, the young man Zhang Yuan came over and shouted, "Ah Yun, who is the person you are looking for?"

Zhang Ruo looked at Su Yun with concern.

Su Yun was a little confused by this question and asked, "What?"

Zhang Yuan said loudly, "I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, but he was just at the end of the street where the lights were dimming. Ah Yun, did you meet the girl you like?"

Zhang Ruo looked a little nervous.

Su Yun suddenly realized and laughed, "What a mess! Writing lyrics is the same as writing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms had to be edited, so doesn't writing lyrics also have to be edited?

In the first stanza, I wrote about the night scene of the Lantern Festival. If I want to complete a complete poem, the next stanza must be moving.

Do you know what "talking about something" means? It means that since you have written up to this point, you have to write about a fictitious "he". In this way, the level of this poem will be directly elevated.

This is also because I have no other background. If I were a general, then it would imply that I am not able to capture the war and express my desire for the next stop.

If I were demoted, it would be to express my resentment for wanting to serve the court but being slandered by villains.

Unfortunately, I am nothing, so I can only be a young man who meets a beautiful girl but cannot have her. Ayuan, if you understand this, you will be able to write poetry in the future. "

Zhang Yuan was shocked by these remarks, dumbfounded, and said: "So, those poems that are full of emotion and make me cry are all made up in this way?"

Su Yun laughed and said, "Ha, that's not true. They were inspired by their feelings, but my poems are made up."

After hearing this, Zhang Ruo looked a little gloomy.

"Ju Zheng, don't tease A Yuan, he will take it seriously." Zhang Dun's voice came.

Su Yun quickly turned around, bowed to Zhang Dun, and said, "Hello, uncle."

Zhang Yuan said angrily: "Ayun, you are teasing me again!"

Su Yun laughed and said, "It's your fault that you didn't study enough. If you had studied more, you wouldn't have been fooled."

Several people burst into laughter immediately.

After they chatted for a while, Zhang Dun asked Su Yun to follow him into the study.

"On the way back, I heard about you causing a big disturbance in Fanlou. Can you tell me what happened?"

Zhang Dun asked before he even sat down.

Su Yun briefly explained the matter. Zhang Dun looked at Su Yun and asked, "Are you planning to join the old party?"

Su Yun laughed when he heard this and said, "Uncle, I am Su Zizhan's nephew."

Zhang Dun looked at Su Yun deeply and nodded, "Yes, you are Su Zizhan's nephew, and you are born to be a member of the old party. This is something that no one can change."

Su Yun laughed and said, "Is uncle the kind of person who would care about these things?"

Zhang Dun was silent for a while and said, "The new party and the old party are all made up by some busybodies. In my opinion, there are only people who support the new law and those who oppose the new law.

Juzheng, we have known each other for quite some time, and I would like to ask you what you think of the new law."

When Su Yun heard this, he immediately became serious, because this was also a very serious question for Zhang Dun. When he asked this question, his face was also very serious.

Su Yun pondered for a moment, clarified his position, and said, "I support the new law. Although in my opinion, the new law has this and that kind of problems, but overall, the new law is good and should be supported."

After hearing what Su Yun said, Zhang Dun's scrutinizing eyes suddenly became gentle, and he leaned back on the chair and nodded, "You wrote a very good Lantern Festival poem today."

Su Yun was surprised that Zhang Dun changed the topic so quickly, but he quickly continued, smiling, "The Lantern Festival in Bianjing City was so lively that I could never forget it after watching it. The first half of the poem is to describe it truthfully.

As for the second half, it should be like this according to the development of the plot, so I wrote it naturally. "

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "You really don't have a favorite woman?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "I really don't have that."

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "That's fine."

Su Yun burst out laughing and felt like he had become Xiao Shenyang.

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "After the New Year, you are seventeen, right?"

Su Yun nodded and said, "If we count the age in lunar calendar, eighteen?"

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "When we were in Huangzhou, did Zizhan tell you that he had helped you propose a marriage for my daughter, but I didn't know you well at that time, so I didn't agree immediately.

From the journey from Huangzhou to Bianjing, plus the months we've been together, I feel that you are worthy of my daughter.

So, it's not like I'm bringing up the past again. I can only say that I approve of the marriage proposal proposed by Zizhan. Now, I want to ask for your opinion. Are you willing to marry Ruo'er?"

"Ah?" Su Yun looked up at Zhang Dun in surprise. He was not mentally prepared at all for Zhang Dun to suddenly say this.

Su Yun immediately shook his head and said, "Uncle Zizhan has never told this to my nephew."

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "I think I know why Zizhan didn't mention it to you, it's just because he was afraid you would refuse.

You were unwilling to be an official before, probably because you were afraid that I, Zhang Dun, would force you to be an official. My daughter, Zhang Dun, also wanted to marry someone with a promising future, so you refused this matter.

But my daughter Zhang Ruo doesn't care about this, and she has developed feelings for you a long time ago. You are a very smart person, don't tell me you don't know.

You are a smart person, and I am not stupid either. Now I am telling you this, and you should think about it and see if you are willing to be my son-in-law."

Su Yun just felt that his mind was a little confused. This matter was very important to him and there were many things he needed to consider.

This is not just a problem of his emotions, but also about the situation he may face after becoming father-in-law and son-in-law with Zhang Dun. These also require time to sort out.

Su Yun nodded, took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Zhang Dun, saying, "Uncle, please take a look at this." Zhang Dun glanced at Su Yun, took the booklet, and saw the title of the book, which read: Collected Annotations of Mencius.

Zhang Dun was somewhat surprised and asked, "Whose annotation is this?"

No wonder Zhang Dun was confused. The book of Mencius was not taken very seriously, and there were relatively few annotations. The more famous annotation was "Mencius Chapter and Sentences" written by Zhao Qi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, while the author of the commentary or the correct commentary was Sun Shi of this dynasty.

However, neither of these two books is called Collected Commentaries on Mencius.

Suddenly, Zhang Dun looked at Su Yun with some surprise, then quickly flipped through the book and was immersed in it.

Su Yun waited for a while, and seeing that Zhang Dun was already engrossed, he quietly left the study. Suddenly, he saw a corner of clothes flash by in the corner.

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to the Imperial College dormitory.

Su Yun propped his head up with his hands, staring at the roof of the dormitory with a blank look in his eyes.

He was originally a little hesitant about showing the collected notes of Mencius to Zhang Dun.

Many of the insights in this collection of annotations on Mencius are Su Yun's insights, or insights from later generations. They are quite avant-garde and even shocking at the present time.

Su Yun doesn't have a mature idea about how to promote this book. He originally wanted to promote it after he figured it out, but he has no time to do so today.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Dun, Zhang Dun brought up the issue in person today in order to achieve his goal.

If he refuses, he won't have to go to Zhang Dun's house anymore.

If he said that he needed to think carefully before making a decision, Zhang Dun might immediately become unhappy and might not let him come again.

Therefore, in times of crisis, Su Yun directly recited the Collected Commentaries of Mencius.

The effect is very good, but the benefits and disadvantages are unknown.

But now Su Yun has to consider the matter of marrying into the Zhang family.

Among these, the relationship issue with Zhang Ruo is the least important to consider.

For someone like Yu Suyun, he doesn't believe in love.

In his previous life, he had touched all kinds of women and he had no filters when it came to women.

The so-called love was something he only experienced during his first love, but after that, he no longer believed in it.

Since he was reborn in this life, he has never thought about getting married. Firstly, he is young, and secondly, he is deeply troubled by mental illness and has no time to think about this issue.

But now everything is gradually getting on track, and it's time to consider this issue.

From Su Yun's perspective, Zhang Ruo is a very suitable person to be a wife.

Independent, smart, and capable of taking charge.

There is a high probability that he will become an official in the future. In an official family, a smart, independent-minded mistress who can take charge of the household is not a bad thing, but a very good thing.

As for what Su Yun was really considering, there were actually two, or rather, just one.

It's a question of party strife.

However, Su Yun thought there were two reasons: one was the relationship between Zhang Dun and Su Shi, and the other was the fact that Zhang Dun was demoted again and again in his later years.

There is no right or wrong in the matter between Zhang Dun and Su Shi. If we simply attribute it to the Su Shi brothers being disloyal and impeaching Zhang Dun, then we are oversimplifying the matter.

In a political struggle, it is obviously not objective to only consider the relationship between two people and not the factional struggle.

There are probably many things that are unknown to the public.

The fact that Zhang Dun was demoted again and again in his later years and died in exile cannot simply be seen as the inevitable result of Zhang Dun's offense against Zhao Ji.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. How could those who helped Zhao Ji to power allow Zhang Dun, a man of great authority, to remain in the court? In order to eliminate this hidden danger, they naturally had to demote him again and again, and in the end the bad reputation was left on Zhao Ji.

Of course, it is also true that Zhao Ji was not fit to be a ruler.

Therefore, if he and Zhang Dun became father-in-law and son-in-law, he would then be caught between the new and old parties.

This story would roughly become:
Su Yun was born into the Su family of Meishan and was Su Shi's nephew. He lost his parents at a young age. At the age of fifteen, he went south to Huangzhou with Su Shi to repay his gratitude. Su Shi treated him as his own son. Later, because of his good poetry and good looks, he was called Jiangyou Su Lang.

In the third year of Yuanfeng, he was appreciated by Zhang Dun and brought to the capital. Zhang Dun admired his literary talent and personally taught him the Spring and Autumn Annals. Soon he married Zhang's daughter.

From then on, he was caught in the vortex of "new and old party struggle" and was regarded by the "old party" as "ungrateful" and "immoral".

The following year he took the exam and was admitted as an official, but after the old party came to power, he was demoted to a prefecture and county.

After King Cheoljong took power, the New Party gained power and began to rise rapidly.

After Zhezong died and Huizong succeeded to the throne, Zhang Dun was demoted again and again because he said that "Prince Duan was frivolous and not like a monarch."

As the son-in-law of Zhang Dun, Su Yun was implicated by him and was demoted again and again.

After repeated setbacks, Su Yun began to believe in Buddhism, and then retired due to illness and returned home, where he died in Meishan...

Does it sound familiar?

That’s right, if you replace Su Yun with Li Shangyin, everyone will know this story.

Su Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was easy to marry Zhang Ruo, but there would be too many problems afterwards.

Su Yun thought about it all night, and only fell into a deep sleep when the east was already bright.

"Juzheng, Juzheng, wake up quickly, someone is looking for you!"
