Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 34 is totally hot!

After hearing what Xu Jian said, he felt relieved. This person was somewhat similar to Chen Jichang. They were both knights in their youth, but they had a chivalrous spirit in their hearts. This kind of person is worth associating with.

However, Su Yun would not easily believe Xu Jian, just as he would not easily believe the one-sided words of Zhu Ada and Tian Asan.

Therefore, let's consult Xu Jian first, and wait for Zhu Datian and Asan to report after their investigation. Only after mutual verification will the information be 70% to 80% credible.

As for why only 70% to 80% of it is credible, it is because these are also things that the Zhou family is willing to let others know.

But everyone has privacy, so there is no need to demand too much.

Su Yun only needed to know that Zhou Zhan had a good reputation and had not committed any crimes or done any evil things like running rampant in the village, then he could have some dealings with him.

The reason why Zhou Zhan approached him was that he wanted to use his fame to improve the status of the Zhou family.

This is a method commonly used by local tyrants. They try to associate with famous writers and poets. This can improve the family's status and get rid of their rustic appearance.

Su Yun is not only Su Lang of Jiangyou, he is also Su Shi's nephew.

Who is Su Shi? He is the most outstanding writer in the Song Dynasty!
If Zhou Zhan could interact with Su Yun, he would not be a local rich man from the countryside, but a gentry who had already integrated into mainstream society.

So, why do the local rich people in the countryside want to be cultured? It is not because they have nothing to do after eating, it is because of real interests!
Take Zhou Zhan for example. With his current status, he can interact with the clerks in Huangzhou and it is easy for him to get things done, but the official officials such as the prefect and the magistrate of Huangzhou look down on him.

This is a question of identity.

But once Zhou Zhan had contact with Su Yun and got Su Yun to write one or two poems worthy of being sung, Zhou Zhan could get a place in the provincial government.

Every time a prefecture governor took office, he would ask his subordinates, "What famous gentry families are there in Huangzhou?"

After listing the truly wealthy families, the subordinate would add a sentence at the end: "... Zhou Zhan from the Zhou family had had dealings with Su Yun before."

It was just one sentence, seemingly insignificant, but when Zhou Zhan had something that needed to be reported directly to the prefect, he only had to go and ask for an audience, and he would be able to see him.

But in the circle of gentry, the meaning is different.

In the past, Zhou Zhan was a playboy and a prodigal son, but if he had been in contact with Su Yun, then the absurd things that happened in the past might have become a different version. Those were not absurd things at all, it was clear that he already had the temperament of a scholar!
If not, why would Su Yun associate with such people? Since he is willing to associate with them, what does it mean? It means that Zhou Zhan is indeed worth associating with!

Zhou Zhan can transform himself from a playboy into a promising young man with the remaining energy of six generations!

By then, marriage will be secondary. There will be many people coming to marry into the family. More importantly, the gentry circle will completely accept Zhou Zhan, and the Zhou family will no longer be a local tyrant that is outside the gentry circle.

Su Yun knew Zhou Zhan's plan, but he didn't reject it.

Zhou Zhan needs Su Yun's identity and fame, and Su Yun needs Zhou Zhan to help him do something and help him cheer for himself. He will also be the first handle for him to extend his tentacles into Huangzhou.

As for why Su Yun didn't want to be an official but was willing to run these things...

Because Su Yun is a mental patient, he often feels insecure. Although he is unwilling to be an official, it does not prevent him from subconsciously managing his own foundation. Or maybe he just thinks it's fun. After signing the contract with Xu Jian, he talked about other things and then went to the lobby to eat.

Su Yun's arrival immediately made the diners very happy, and they came up to greet him and watch.

Some of these diners came simply to eat, but some wanted to see the Linjiangxian poem. Of course, many also came for Su Yun, hoping to have a chance encounter with him.

No matter which one it is, the surprise of meeting a celebrity is inevitable.

Su Yun responded to people very calmly while observing the situation of the diners and nodded secretly. Although it was not as crowded as Wangjiang Tower, it was already showing signs of being full.

The tables in the lobby were all occupied, and there were people dining in the private rooms upstairs. It seemed that Linjianglou would soon start requiring reservations or on-site queuing.

Su Yun secretly estimated that the Linjiang Building was still a little small, and he might miss out on this wave of wealth. But it didn't matter, after this wave of enthusiasm was over, everything would return to normal.

After operating for another one or two years, we will build a few more restaurants in the back and connect them together, just like Fanlou.

After Su Yun finished his meal, he took a boat back to Lingao Pavilion.

He doesn't need to be in Linjianglou all the time, he just needs to show up every day. If he is busy sometimes, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go. The diners just have an expectation.

In the next few days, Su Yun was quite diligent and went to Linjianglou to check in every day, but the popularity of Linjianglou had just begun.

The influence of top-notch words like Linjiangxian is enormous, but the spread of information takes time. People in Huangzhou knew about it on the second day, and people in the surrounding areas of Huangzhou learned about it on the third day. Then it spread quickly. By the tenth day, diners from Jiangnan East and West Road had already come here to eat.

Linjiangxian became completely popular, and Linjianglou also became completely popular.

Su Yun didn't dare to go on the fifth day, because his appearance on the fourth day almost caused a large-scale water disaster.

Ah Hui was about to enter the dock in his newly bought boat when the thousands of people gathered on the dock started clamoring and trying to squeeze to the front to see Jiang You Su Lang. As a result, many people were pushed into the water, causing chaos at the scene.

Seeing this, Su Yun immediately called for help, and he himself asked Ah Hui to turn around and go back immediately to avoid causing greater chaos.

Afterwards, Xu Jian found Su Yun with lingering fear and said that everyone had been rescued and no one had drowned, but asked Su Yun not to go to Linjiang Tower for the time being as he was really afraid that something might happen.

Su Yun was relieved when he heard this. If someone really died, he would be uneasy.

However, if he had a darker heart and was able to drown some people, his reputation as Jiangyou Su Lang might have caught up with the four most handsome men in ancient times.

After all, the four most handsome men in ancient times were at most those who had fruits thrown into the carriage, were watched to death, and caused the whole city to be shocked. But he, Su Yun, was the kind of handsome man who would really make people risk their lives and even jump into the water to watch!
In any case, Linjianglou became completely popular.

Although there were still waiters from Linjianglou delivering food in recent days, they came and went in a hurry every time. They said that one person in the building was doing the job of three people and they were still too busy as there were too many diners.

Su Yun was happy to have some free time, but he had no way of living in Lingao Pavilion.
