Chapter 875: Three Questions
"There's not much good tea in the countryside. If you don't mind, please make do with this to moisten your throat." Boss Su said politely.
The man, Su Zhengyan, was already talking until his mouth was dry, so he immediately picked up the bottle and took a sip.
I didn't hold any hope in my heart, and didn't even smell the fragrance of tea.
In a rural area like this, it’s good enough that there is no direct access to white water.
However, as soon as I took a sip of the tea, my eyes lit up.
The fragrance is light and elegant. Although it is not as good as the best tea, it is already very good.
"What is this tea..." Su Zhengyan asked hesitantly.
He couldn't even tell what kind of tea it was.
"This is a scented tea made by my mother. It is made from wild flowers picked from the mountains." Boss Su did not hide anything and told the truth.
"Your mother's skill in making tea is truly unique," Su Zhengyan exclaimed.
I never thought that a country woman could make such delicious tea!
Su Zhengyan thought to himself that after he continued the family tree and established good relationships, he could ask for some to take back when he left.
My wife must love this kind of scented tea.
Su Zhengyan drank his tea and finally got to the point.
"Our old grandfather was kindhearted and always wanted to help the younger generations of the same surname, so as not to bury their talents... If we trace back to our roots, we might have been one family five hundred years ago..."
"Since we both have the surname Su, we can continue the family tree. When your brother goes to the capital to take the imperial examination, our Su family will certainly take care of him. He can even live with us... In this way, with the Su family's care, it will definitely be much more convenient. Even if he enters the officialdom in the future, it will be of great benefit..."
When Su Zhengyan finished speaking, the sense of pride in his heart swelled again.
After all, for people in such a small mountain village, the Su family in the capital should definitely be an existence that they look up to.
Of course, this is just what Su Zhengyan thinks.
Boss Su frowned and finally understood Su Zhengyan's intention.
However, does your family have a family tree?
Anyway, he hasn't seen it.
"We have to wait until my father comes back before we can discuss this matter." Boss Su said, "My father has gone to a nearby farm and may be back soon."
Su Zhengyan nodded, knowing that matters like this must be decided by the elders.
"Where is your brother Su Wuhu now?" Su Zhengyan asked, "Can I see him?"
He came here just for Su Laowu, so naturally he wanted to see what he looked like.
Moreover, he also had selfish motives, wanting to become familiar and gain a good reputation.
After all, he is the top scorer in Qingzhou Prefecture and will definitely enter the officialdom in the future.
After hearing what Su Zhengyan said, Boss Su thought it would be okay to call Lao Wu over to meet him.
So, he asked Mrs. Su to go to the academy and call Su Laowu back.
"Is there a school in your village?" Su Zhengyan asked in surprise, "Has your brother been studying in the school in the village?"
Boss Su nodded.
"Exactly!"
Su Zhengyan: “…”
He couldn't believe what he heard!
There is actually a college in such a small mountain village!
No, it is to cultivate Jie Yuan!
Is this possible?
"The academy was opened by my sister and is called Fude Academy." Boss Su said proudly.
His tone was full of pride.
Compared to Su Zhengyan's expression of pride when he talked about the Su family in Beijing, which seemed to be trying to be humble and restrained, Boss Su did not hide his pride at all.
Moreover, after listening to Su Zhengyan's long speech, Boss Su did not show the kind of expression of reverence and worship that Su Zhengyan expected, and he didn't even give him a glance.
To the extent that Su Zhengyan thought that Boss Su had a facial paralysis and was stupid.
As a result, as soon as Boss Su mentioned his sister, the expression on his face immediately became obvious.
Proud! My face is full of pride!
"Your sister?" Su Zhengyan's face was full of disbelief.
"Yes! The one you just saw was my sister." Boss Su said, "I only have this one sister, she's both sensible and capable!"
Su Zhengyan thought of the delicate-looking girl just now, and he couldn't connect her with capability!
Such a young girl actually opened a college?
Is this possible?
This question popped up in Su Zhengyan's mind for the second time!
This time it was Boss Su's turn to talk.
"You don't know, we have over 300 students at Fude Academy, including over 20 candidates preparing to take the imperial examination next year... Oh, by the way, if anyone from the Su family in the capital wants to study at our Fude Academy, you can do so as long as you meet the requirements..."
Su Zhengyan: “…”
I feel like there's something wrong with Boss Su's brain.
How could he, a member of the Su family in Beijing, come to a small mountain village to study?
No, that's not the point!
The point is, this shabby little academy actually has over twenty successful candidates?!
Is this possible?
This question popped up in Su Zhengyan's mind for the third time!
At this time, a young man wearing a blue bachelor's gown, with a handsome appearance and a slender figure walked in.
"Brother, are you looking for me?" Su Laowu asked.
"Oh, this is from the Su family, a century-old family in Beijing, and they want to meet you." Boss Su introduced.
Su Laowu looked at Su Zhengyan.
Su Zhengyan stood up quickly.
After all, Su Laowu was a juren.
Although he was from the Su family in the capital, he was just a commoner.
Su Zhengyan repeated his purpose of coming.
Finally, he said, "Our old man wants to support the younger generations to comfort the spirits of our ancestors. If Su Jieyuan goes to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort under the care of the Su family. Moreover, continuing the family tree will also benefit future generations and last for thousands of years."
As soon as Su Zhengyan finished speaking, Su Laoer's voice came from outside the door.
"Dad! Mom! I'm back!"
Then, Su Laoer strode in.
So, Su Lao Er soon found out that people from the Su family in the capital had come to continue the family tree.
"How did you find this place?" Su Laoer asked in surprise.
After hearing what Su Laoer said, Su Zhengyan showed a smug expression.
"Your brother passed the imperial examination and won the first place in the Qingzhou Prefecture. Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from our Su family. Not only your brother, but also all the people with the surname Su who passed the imperial examination in the world, where they live and what their names are, can be found out by our old man with just a few words..."
Su Laoer showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"So, when you continue your family tree, you don't want to include everyone with the surname Su, but only those who passed the imperial examination—the juren!"
Su Zhengyan: “…”
What I originally thought was a matter of course, now feels a little off when Su Laoer points it out.
"That's right! It's useless to recruit some roughnecks. They might even go to the Su family in Beijing to beg for money!" Su Lao Er nodded and said bluntly, "But if we recruit those who have already passed the imperial examination, who knows, there might be some who will become rich in the future and help the Su family."
Su Zhengyan: “…”
