Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 49 A distinguished guest

Ah Hui nodded and accepted the instruction.

Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "Ah Hui, can you read?"

Ah Hui immediately blushed and said, "I don't know much, but when my father was alive, he let me go to a private school for a few years, but I was still young at that time and didn't study hard."

Su Yun smiled and said, "That means you have a foundation, which makes things much easier. How about this, you follow me to copy the Han Shu.

Reading history books can help you understand the past and present. There is nothing new under the sun.

If you read history books, you will understand that nothing happening in the world today is new; basically, everything has happened in history.

When you have read enough history books, you will know everything clearly and will soon find the key. At that time, you will become a very powerful person. "

Ah Hui has already felt the power of knowledge. Hearing that he could study with Su Yun, although he felt a little pressured, he readily agreed.

Su Yun smiled and gave Ah Hui half of the straw paper, then gave him a pen and said, "Come, sit down, and start copying from the first chapter.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the words. There is a dictionary here. Mark the words you don’t know and look them up later.”

Ah Hui started copying with great interest, but soon felt embarrassed - there were too many characters he didn't know!

But he quickly overcame it because he found that Su Yun was also constantly marking the words he didn't know.

Ah Hui asked curiously, "Ah Yun, do you also not recognize so many characters?"

Su Yun sighed and said, "I just discovered that there are so many words I don't know."

There are indeed many uncommon characters in Chinese books.

Oh, then I’ll feel mentally balanced.

The two of them copied books until midnight and then went to bed, and got up early the next day.

Ah Hui had to go to the village chief to arrange recruiting, while Su Yun had to arrange many matters to welcome the Su family.

Judging from the time, the Su family should be here soon.

According to the agreement between the two brothers in Chenzhou, Su Che took the two families, young and old, boarded a ship from Nandu, passed the Bian River, went to Huaiyang, passed Jinling, and went up the river. He first left his family in Jiujiang and made a special trip to escort his sister-in-law, nephew and others to Huangzhou.

Calculating the time, it should be around May.

It is now the end of April, and Su Shi will soon be reunited with his family.

Su Shi is a bit careless, but Su Yun still needs to prepare some things.

Su Shi's wife Wang Runzhi and concubine Wang Zhaoyun were still young. They probably had no rouge and powder to use during the journey, and they must have been very worried along the way. They could have bought some expensive rouge and powder to soothe their hearts.

Su Shi's second son Su Dai is eight years old this year, and his third son Su Guo is six years old. They are at the age of playing, so you can buy some fun things for them.

There is another person who cannot be ignored. Although she was just a servant, she raised all the Su brothers. This person is Su Shi's wet nurse Ren Cailian.

Ren Cailian was originally a maidservant of Su Dongpo's mother, Madam Cheng. She served Madam Cheng for 35 years. She nursed Su Dongpo's sister and Su Dongpo, and took care of Su Dongpo's three sons. She was kind and helpful to three generations of the Su family. She also followed Su Dongpo on his official tours, visiting Hangzhou, Mizhou, Xuzhou and Huzhou.

For Su Shi, Ren Cailian was a member of the family.

Therefore, it would be bad not to express it, but Ren Cailian was already old and no longer needed rouge and powder. But Su Yun also had a way, which was to give Ren Cailian some clothes and headwear.

As for other servants, they only needed to be rewarded with a little money.

These things may not be very valuable, but for the Su family who have been in a state of panic along the way, they may reduce their panic a little and settle down in Huangzhou soon. However, before the Su family arrived, they welcomed a big man who shocked Huangzhou.

Su Yun went to the only West Market in Huangzhou to stroll around, looking around and buying some rouge and powder. After strolling for half a day, he bought a large basket of rouge, powder, small toys and the like. Fortunately, there was a donkey cart in the market, so he hired one and returned to the east of the city from the west.

Before they reached the east of the city, they saw Ah Hui hurrying along the road. Su Yun hurriedly called out, "Ah Hui, where are you going?"

When Ah Hui saw Su Yun, he was immediately delighted and said, "Ah Yun, an important person has come to our house. Even Governor Chen and others have come to pay their respects. The master has asked me to go to Linjiang Tower to order a banquet to entertain them."

Su Yun said: "What big shot?"

Ah Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know what that important person is called, but they all call him the county magistrate or something like that. Is that the county magistrate?"

Su Yun said: "What should I call my uncle?"

Ah Hui thought for a moment and said, "I think I call him Brother Miyazawa?"

Su Yun frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Li Chang, Li Gongze, isn't he a county magistrate, but a magistrate. Recently, Li Chang was transferred to Huaixi to supervise criminal justice affairs. People respectfully call him the magistrate. Doesn't he look a little short and fat?"

Ah Hui nodded and said, "Yes, he is a little short and fat."

Su Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "That's it, how many people are at home now?"

Ah Hui said, "A lot, at least fifty or sixty people."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Even those who can go into the lobby and sit and chat with my uncle."

Ah Hui said "Oh" and counted, "There are about seven or eight people."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Well, then you go to Linjiang Tower and order a table of signature dishes and ten tables of ordinary dishes."

Ah Hui asked, "Were they sent to the compound?"

Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "Prepare a set and send it to the compound. Also, ask Xu Jian to prepare the best private room and prepare the ingredients. If possible, I will invite them to go to Linjiang Tower together."

This is a great opportunity.

Although Linjianglou is now very famous and has booming business, locals still think that Wangjianglou is the best restaurant in Huangzhou.

Today Su Yun is going to change the Huangzhou people's concept.

Even the chief judge of criminal justice, Huangzhou governor Chen Shi, Tongpan and other important figures all went to Linjiang Tower for dinner instead of Wangjiang Tower. There is probably no doubt about who is the number one, right?

But there is no need to force this kind of thing. If they want to eat at home, it's fine. If they are willing to eat at Linjianglou, that would be even better. We can take this opportunity to advertise our own restaurant and establish its status. Then they will never have to worry about food and drink in the future!
After arranging these things, Su Yun rushed home.

This distinguished guest, Li Gongze, must be served well. It is not to say that he is extremely kind to Su Shi, but that his official career is bright and he will recommend Su Shi several times in the future.

It’s because if they serve him well and ask him to write something for Linjiang Tower, it will really establish Linjiang Tower’s position as the number one in Huangzhou.

Su Yun hurried home excitedly. From a distance, he saw many vehicles parked outside the compound and a lot of noise. It attracted many people from Huangzhou to watch.

When the doorman saw Su Yun, he quickly opened the door and let Su Yun in. Su Yun ordered, "Move the things on the donkey cart to my room."

Menzi quickly responded.

In just a few days, the doorman and the cleaning servants all knew who was the real person in charge of the compound.
