Chapter 3 Yuanyou Descendants
No matter what Su Yi said, Fat Qian said to himself: "Young Master, I just calculated it. If you tell the outside world that Longqing is your property, then we can save at least 43,000 guan next year!"
"Hmm?" Su Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "What does it mean?"
"Of course it's because of the young master's new identity!" Qian Fatty came close and said a little excitedly: "Young Master is now the yamen of the Taiwei Mansion. Gao Taiwei is a celebrity in front of the official family. Who dares not give face to officials at all levels? In previous years, in order to preserve the reputation of tribute and open up the upper and lower joints, the money for filial piety alone was 57,000 guan, accounting for nearly half of the net profit. If Longqing is disclosed, it will be your property, then the big money of this money will be saved, and at least 43,000 guan! Apart from the palace and the prime minister's mansion, there is no need to manage it."
Su Yi frowned, put the book aside, looked at Qian Fatty, and said, "Who told you that I want to recognize my father?"
"Ah?" Fatty Qian was stunned and said, "You don't admit it... why should you go to Bianliang? I heard it yesterday. Then Yu Hou called you Yanei, and you agreed too!"
"They are all obedient and can't tell them even if they have something to do." Su Yi straightened up, pressed Qian's shoulder, stared at his eyes, and said very seriously: "Fatty, I'll tell you solemnly that I don't plan to recognize my father now. The Su family raised me to be a son of the Su family! It's natural. Don't save money. What to do in previous years? What will happen this year? The mountain will fall, and everyone will run away. Only you are the most reliable. How many times have I said this truth? Why don't you remember it?"
The fat man was startled and said, "You really don't plan to admit it? That's Taiwei Gao. He annoyed him, it's not a joke!"
"I know that you don't have to worry about it." Su Yi picked up the book again and patted Qian Fatty. Qian Fatty turned around in cooperation. Su Yi leaned against Qian Fatty's thick back, and a thick layer of flesh on his back, which had a good effect of "shock-absorbing". Su Yi suddenly felt that the carriage was not that bumpy.
In fact, Su Yi had not thought about what to do about this matter yet. When Su Mai told him the truth, Su Yi was completely confused. Although he had doubted whether he was Su Dongpo's son. After all, by age, Su Dongpo was already fifty-seven years old when he was born, and he was still able to have children at this age. He was really strong. Even if it was thousands of years later, such a strong man was extremely rare.
But he never thought that he would be Gao Qiu's son. Influenced by "Water Margin", his impression of Gao Qiu was really not very good.
If he came to this world, he would have to choose a father. From the perspective of selfishness, Su Yi would definitely choose Su Shi. But from reality, it is really difficult to choose. After all, he has only been in this world for three years, and Su Shi has passed away for more than ten years. Whether it is Su Shi or Gao Qiu, he is a person who has never been in contact with him. Su Jun takes "seeking truth" as his instruction and has not seen it with his own eyes, he cannot judge that Gao Qiu is just like what is described in "Water Margin" and is a treacherous villain.
When Su Yi came to this world, the person Su Yi contacted the most was Su Mai, this "brother" who was 35 years older than him. In Su Yi's memory, although Su Mai was his elder brother, he completely fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. When Su Yi completed his identity and decided to integrate into this world, he also treated Su Mai as his father in his heart.
Emotionally speaking, Su Yi did not want to recognize Su Shi, nor did he want to recognize Gao Qiu. He wanted to recognize Su Mai as his father, but the problem was that Su Mai was not happy.
Su Mai is upright and acts sternly. Brother is brother, father is father, how can he be confused? His father is no longer there. As the elder brother, Su Mai feels that he should take on the responsibility of teaching his younger brother. He has never been strict with Su Yi, but the care from the bottom of his heart cannot be faked. Before Su Yi came to this world, the original Su Yi was very dull and clumsy, and Su Mai never gave up on him. Su Yi couldn't learn in school, so Su Mai gave him some small lessons every day, hoping that he could make progress. No matter how stupid Su Yi was, he never gave up.
Finally, Su Yi came three years ago. With the five seasons of "Chinese Poetry Conference" written during home isolation and the ancient poems memorized by nine years of compulsory education, the stupid Su Yi finally "opened up". In just a few months, he made great progress. At the Suzhou Literature Association, Su Yi became famous in one of his poems "Breaking the Formation", especially the sentence "Secretizing the affairs of the king and winning the reputation of his past and behind him" expressed the voice of the scholars and officials, and was passed down by word of mouth for a while, and was famous in Jiangnan.
Everyone said that Su Jun had successors. Su Yi's writing style was quite exquisite as Mr. Da Su. Later, Su Yi occasionally had good sentences, but there were very few complete lyrics. Others only said that he was humble, but the actual reason was difficult to describe.
How could he write poems? He recited them all. He could recite them less and less. There are many poems, and there are clear time, place, and scenes in the words and sentences, which are not suitable for copying or revising, and they lose their charm. He had to pick a few sentences from it and keep the complete and useful words in order to prepare for future needs.
It is also difficult for time travelers to travel, especially when traveling to the Song Dynasty. The dazzling prosperous Tang Dynasty has passed, and all Tang poems are no longer used. If you want to pretend to be a talented man, you have to carefully distinguish which era the poems you want to use are from, so as not to make you laugh.
However, Su Yi's good days are coming to an end. Before leaving, Su Mei specifically instructed him that after recognizing his relatives, he must ask Gao Qiu to arrange it so that he can participate in this year's training. Su Mei was very confident in Su Yi's literary talent and believed that he would definitely be a Jinshi in high school, just like the "Three Sus" back then, which was a good story.
Su Yi had no confidence in this. He could still rely on his memory to write poetry. How could he prevail in the imperial examination? He could not do anything in the policy, classics, and articles. He would be exposed in one exam!
But he had to agree, because Su Yi knew in his heart what this meant for Su Mai. He wanted to prove that although Su Shi was dead and Su Che was old, Su Jun was not silent. At the same time, he also wanted to let the officials see that among the descendants of Yuanyou, there were also people with amazing talents, hoping that the court could reconsider the activation of the Yuanyou Party and abolish the edict that the descendants of Yuanyou could not be in the imperial examination or in politics.
Su Yi understood what Su Mai thought. But he had no confidence in whether he could do it. Su Mai's ideas were too romantic. How could the things in this world be so simple? If you have talent and become a Jinshi, you can solve the problem? If you are only talented, then the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe would not be demoted, displaced and despaired for half their lives.
Su Yi was a man who came a thousand years later. He had studied History and watched various TV series. Looking back at the Song Dynasty from a thousand years later, what is the new party and the old party, after all, is just the likes and dislikes of the superiors. In order to consolidate the imperial power, the new emperor must promote his confidants. However, there are so many official positions in the court. How can we make room for the new policy or party disputes?
Cai Jing, the prime minister in power, was the pioneer of the new party back then. How could he deny his lifelong political achievements and rehabilitate the Yuanyou Party members?
