Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 237 Langfu Song Family
Before Su Yizhao asked curious questions, Su Yijue explained Su Yizhao's confusion.

"However, he was born as a Jinshi, and there is a reason why he came to the academy to teach. It's just that few people know this reason, and I also learned it by accident."

Su Yizhao didn't believe it, but he didn't ask about Li Shouzhi's family background.Su Yijue said so, so he must not know the inside story.

"Oh? What's the reason?" Su Yizhao asked.

"It is said that when his parents were still alive when he was young, his family arranged a marriage for him. Unexpectedly, before he passed the examination of scholar, the future father-in-law's family would hate the poor and love the rich, so they betrothed their daughter to someone else."

Su Yizhao was taken aback when he heard it, but he was skeptical about it in his heart.

"That woman is also a violent woman. Xu Erfu, a woman in this world, would not tolerate it. When she learned that her parents had done such a wrong thing, she was ashamed and indignant, and committed suicide."

"Ah?" Su Yizhao was very surprised, why can't he think about it?Isn't this a life in vain?
"Why, why is this?" Su Yizhao said regretfully.

Su Yijue shook her head and sighed: "People's words are awesome!"

"That woman and Master Li are childhood sweethearts. They have known each other since they were young, and they have been in love with each other for a long time. Unexpectedly, the woman's family would despise Li's family for being poor, and Master Li is a poor scholar, and he has not been successful for many years, so he can't wait."

"Women's youth is short. If Li Shi didn't pass the exam, how can the future father-in-law wait and wait? But who would think that when the woman is forced to marry someone else and commits suicide, Li Shi who is taking the exam is a middle school student?" A scholar."

Su Yijue shook her head and sighed while talking, only sighed that good luck tricks people.

If Mr. Li had been admitted as a scholar earlier, maybe the lovers would finally get married.

"That family is really short-sighted. Since they were engaged, they backtracked, and instead killed the girl." Su Yizhao said with a heavy sigh.

"It's no wonder that the teacher is reluctant to mention the past. There is still such a sad past. It's just that this matter has passed for many years, is the teacher still brooding?"

Su Yizhao felt that if Li Shouzhi couldn't forget that woman and had no intention of becoming an official, why did he continue to take the exam?This is somewhat inexplicable!

"Master Li was really depressed for several years when he learned of the news that his fiancée had committed suicide after returning home. However, his parents were seriously ill and passed away one after another, which was a great blow to him. If he didn't enter an official position, he should be disheartened. Is life hopeless?"

Su Yijue picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said: "Maybe it was the last wish of his parents before they died, hoping that he would shine in the family, or there may be other reasons for him to continue the scientific research, we don't know."

Su Yizhao nodded when he heard the words, "My teacher usually looks free and easy, but in fact he is lonely in his heart."

Seeing that Su Yizhao was still a little dazed and dazed, he couldn't help touching the top of Su Yizhao's head.

Su Yizhao quickly looked at Su Yijue in surprise, but Su Yijue withdrew her hand with a smile, and said: "Since he is already your mentor, and there is no successor, you should respect him well in the future."

"Teacher for one day, father for life! It is your responsibility to take care of him until his death." Su Yijue emphasized again.

Su Yizhao nodded deeply, "It's natural!"

After the two finished talking about Li Shouzhi's past, they talked about Su Yijue's intention of pushing Su Yizhao in front of others in the lobby today.

"Actually, the purpose is very simple, that is, our Su Clan's reputation will be greatly improved, which will benefit the Su Clan's children."

"Ah?" Su Yizhao looked at the other party very puzzled. The old man also warned her to hold back the edge for a while.

"I know that you already have a letter of recommendation from the head of the Academy, but you don't know that the imperial examination has been completed, and among the people who were selected as fellow examiners, there is one from the Song family of Langfu, named Song Kejing, who is from the Imperial Academy. Read it."

Su Yijue said while thinking.

Su Yizhao understands that since this person is mentioned, it must be related to the Su family, and it may even be unfavorable for their children of the Su family.

"But what is the relationship between this person and our Su family?" Su Yizhao asked aloud.

"It's not that he has a relationship with our Su family, but that the family behind him is somewhat unhappy with our Su family."

Su Yijue glanced at Su Yizhao approvingly, talking to smart people is easy.

"Although this person is only a student of the Imperial Academy, the Song family of Langfu is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River."

Su Yijue took a sip of tea, and then continued: "The Song family has been deeply rooted in the court for many years, and its influence in the south of the Yangtze River is even wider and far-reaching. Now the Song family is an official in the court, and the highest rank is the left of the Ministry of Rites. The servant, Song Mingyu."

Now that this person is mentioned, it is a dispute between court and court, Su Yizhao guessed.

She remembered the Di Bao that she saw at the mansion before, that Guanglu Temple was related to the Fine Food Department of the Ministry of Rites.

Su Jinxun is the Minister of Guanglu Temple, in charge of sacrificial offerings, banquets, and court meals, as well as some important ceremonies and banquets when receiving envoys.

This requires frequent contact and cooperation with the Ministry of Rites.

However, over time, there will inevitably be some friction between the two.

For example, the Ministry of Rituals is in charge of sacrificial offerings, etc., and cooperates with Guanglu Temple. However, the Jingshan Division can manage money, but Guanglu Temple can only collect funds. Isn’t this a problem?
Generally speaking, if you can't do it together, you can only dislike each other and grab each other's pigtails.

The final verification of the Ministry of Households also has to go through Guanglu Temple, but the Fine Food Department of the Ministry of Rites is equivalent to the logistics department of the previous life.

Although this is just a trivial matter, the benefits of it will not alarm Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and Minister of Guanglu Temple.

But as time goes on, it is inevitable that there will be some dirty words.Furthermore, I am afraid that there are other sayings.

"Now you are going to take the imperial examination to become an official, so it's okay to talk to you about some things!"

Su Yijue glanced at Su Yizhao, and was very satisfied when she saw that she was listening attentively.

"It's common to disagree with political opinions in this court. My grandfather and Mr. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites have argued a few times before, but they were all expressing their own opinions, which is nothing."

Su Yijue changed the subject and said again: "It's just that our Su family has always maintained neutrality, but this Master Song suddenly wanted to solicit, which made grandfather very embarrassed."

There is such a secret in it?Su Yizhao quickly cleared up the Song family's relationship network between the court and China in his mind.

The Song family is a large family with many in-laws, which is very complicated.

Among them, the eldest daughter of the Song family married into the Dong family, and her husband was the eldest grandson of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Punishment.

Who is Dong Jianian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice?That was the grandfather of the Fifth Prince.Thousands of words but this sentence, the Song family and the Dong family are tied together, they are the party of the five princes!
And since Jiang Lishi from the Marquis of Lin'an's Mansion became the concubine of the third prince, the Su family had no choice but to be labeled as the third prince, so how could the old master agree to Song Mingyu's solicitation?
