Chapter 212 Hao
King Ye picked up the "Book of Songs" and continued to talk about the content of yesterday. The teacher was very devoted in his lecture and the students learned very seriously. Before they knew it, an hour had passed.
King Ye said: "Yu'er, let's stop here for today's lessons. Show me the policy paper you arranged yesterday."
Su Yu immediately stood up and respectfully handed the article he wrote to the teacher with both hands. He said: "I am not a talented student. I just put my thoughts into words. I hope the teacher can give me some guidance."
King Ye smiled, stretched out his right hand, and took the manuscript handed over by his disciple. He first rested his eyes on the handwriting. At just one glance, he liked it very much. The characters were like running script and unrestrained and unrestrained, just like a free and unrestrained horse, galloping freely on the rice paper, and the strokes contained the charm of orchid and bamboo.
After admiring the stunning calligraphy, he began to study the contents of the writing. It began with the following: "The so-called people's livelihood should be put into practice in order to reveal its true meaning. Secondly, existing agricultural tools should be improved and innovated to greatly improve the efficiency of farming operations."
Then, the article elaborated on a series of practical solutions... As he read deeper, King Ye's originally relaxed expression gradually became serious, his brows unconsciously wrinkled slightly, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Su Yu, who was standing by, watched the teacher reading his article for a long time. Seeing the teacher staring at his article for a long time without saying anything, his heart couldn't help but hang in the air again.
He pondered to himself, "Could it be that what I wrote is incompatible with the current dynasty? Or is there a fallacy in the viewpoints?"
Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, is this what I wrote very unsatisfactory?"
Prince Ye finally slowly shifted his gaze from the article in his hand. His eyes fell directly on Su Yu in front of him. He asked softly, "Did you really write this?" Although his voice was soft, the surprise in it was obvious.
Su Yu nodded slightly and responded respectfully: "That's exactly what I wrote, but these are just some of my personal shallow insights and opinions. I hope the teacher can give me some advice and pointers."
Prince Ye pondered for a moment and then said, "Although the idea of this article is good, the language is indeed not fancy enough and too plain and simple. Also, the example you cited about pork, can you really guarantee that it is completely free of any fishy smell?"
Su Yu smiled confidently and quickly explained, "I think it should be feasible. The pig farming method I wrote about is not groundless, but based on actual practical experience. I have already raised a batch of castrated pigs in Zhangjia Village. When the time comes, we will know whether there is any fishy smell."
"If this breeding method can be further promoted in the future and more people can master the skills, the quality of pork will definitely improve. By then, more and more people will be able to eat meat. In this way, we as students can contribute our small part to improving people's livelihood."
Upon hearing this, King Ye's expression suddenly changed. He clapped his hands and said loudly: "In that case, let's go and find out today!"
However, Su Yu shook her head slightly and explained with a smile, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while. These pigs were just castrated not long ago, and they still need some time to grow back. How about we wait for about half a month and then go to inspect them together?"
Prince Ye felt that what Su Yu said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say. Let's go and take a look after a while."
Immediately afterwards, King Ye gave some detailed revision suggestions and advice on Su Yu's article, pointing out that the article still lacked some quotations from classics.
Su Yu had no choice. As a modern man, he must be lacking in this aspect, so it was not easy for him to write it down.
So King Ye gave him many reference books and he said: "These are some of the experiences that I have compiled in my daily life. You can take them back and read them carefully."
Su Yu bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Master."
Su Yu didn't know that these books were great information that others could not even ask for. After all, the ancient times were not as developed as the modern Internet where everything can be shared. He was able to obtain these information, which meant that someone had a backdoor.
Su Yu was about to say goodbye when Prince Ye smiled and said, "Those three boxes by the wall were specially given to you by my elder brother. He is currently in the capital and is busy with official duties. He is unable to spare the time to come and see you, so he asked me to bring these to you."
Su Yu saw it was another oversized box. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Teacher, you sent me so many good things last time. How can I accept this generous gift again?"
However, Prince Ye responded with a serious face: "The gift from the teacher only represents the teacher's thoughts for you, while the reward from the uncle has a deeper meaning. As the saying goes, 'a gift from an elder should not be refused', so just accept it with peace of mind."
Seeing that King Ye was so serious, Su Yu knew it would be difficult to refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his master's family was really generous!
Afterwards, Su Yu turned over and mounted the snow-white horse, followed closely by a gorgeously decorated carriage, and slowly headed towards Taohua Lane.
When they arrived at the destination, the guards of the Jiang Mansion came forward very considerately and helped Su Yu move the heavy boxes into Su Yu's room.
After everyone left the room, Su Yu couldn't wait to close the door immediately, then quickly walked to the boxes and opened them one by one to check.
Inside the box were jewels and precious stones, all kinds of precious women's jewelry, bracelets, agates, exquisite men's hair crowns, as well as pieces of cloth of fine color and texture, and piles of gold ingots shining with charming luster... It was really everything, and it was dazzling.
Su Yu touched his head with one hand. He felt a little dizzy at the moment. He sighed in his heart, "My God, how inhumane! He has never been so rich in modern times. If he could bring all the ancient treasures back to modern times, how much RMB would they be worth?"
Su Yu waved his hand and sent the box full of gold into the space. So much gold was too conspicuous, so it was safer to put it in the space.
When Su Yu opened the door again, Su Yu said: "Xie An, pick out all the women's accessories and cloths in the box and send them to the flower hall."
The servant Xie An said: "Yes."
After Su Yu finished making the arrangements, he walked towards the flower hall. He saw his sister Su Wanwan, the maid Qing Ning, the little girl Xie Nanxing, and even the kitchen maid Mingyue, each holding a book on their heads, practicing their walking manners in the yard.
Aunt Qinxin gave serious instructions from the side, "Keep your body straight, walk with grace and look straight ahead."
This scene made Su Yu feel that there was no scary nanny like Rong Mama. This method of etiquette training was quite interesting. Through such training, the posture could become more graceful and attractive, and it could also add a unique charm and temperament.
Su Yu did not disturb the people who were concentrating on training, but chose to quietly walk around and go straight to the flower hall.
When he stepped into the flower hall, the first thing that caught his eye was a warm and peaceful picture. He saw Su's mother sitting there concentrating on doing delicate embroidery stitch by stitch, while her grandmother was leisurely enjoying delicious pastries beside her, and whispering a few words with Su's mother from time to time. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.
As if hearing Su Yu's light footsteps, the two people who were originally immersed in their own activities raised their heads at the same time, and Su's mother's gentle and soft voice sounded: "Yu'er, you're back. How was your study today? Are you used to it?"
Su Yu walked forward quickly, first respectfully bowed to Su's mother and master's grandmother respectively, and then answered: "Mother, master's grandmother, the teacher's lecture was very vivid and interesting, and my son also listened carefully."
Just at this moment, Xie An walked into the flower hall carrying a large box with great effort.
The sudden appearance of the big box immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially Su's mother, whose eyes were full of curiosity. She couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" Even the queen mother was attracted and cast a curious look at Su Yu, expecting him to give an answer.
Su Yu smiled helplessly, "This was a reward from my uncle. My teacher just gave it to me. There are several big boxes of it. I asked Xie An to pick out all the things that a woman can use."
The Queen Mother thought, is this a reward from the Emperor?
Su Yu looked at the Queen Mother and joked: "In this way, I have benefited from the blessing of my master's grandmother. I am afraid I won't have to go out to earn money in this life."
The Queen Mother was amused by Su Yu's genuine teasing. She laughed and said, "That's good. Just keep the gift that's given to Yu'er. This way, I, an old woman, can live here with peace of mind."
At this moment, Aunt Fang also walked in and said, "Madam, lunch is ready. Would you like to serve it now?"
Su's mother said: "Then let's serve the meal."
Aunt Qinxin outside saw that the practice was almost done for today, so she said: "Let's practice the rules here for today."
The four women instantly took the books off their heads as if they were on vacation.
The maid Mingyue said, "I'll go help serve the dishes first," and then she hurried away.
She felt that learning the rules was worse than practicing martial arts, as it was too tiring.
Sister Su Wanwan walked into the flower hall with her maid Qing Ning. As soon as she came in, she saw Su Yu and said in surprise: "Brother, you are back." She also noticed the big box on the side with her keen eyes, and asked Su Yu curiously: "Brother, what is this?"
Su Yu patiently said again: "It was given to us by our uncle-master."
Su's mother said: "Let's eat first, Xie An, Nanny Wang, you two should move the things into the warehouse together."
The two responded: "Yes."
