Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 67 Going to School
Fortunately, Su Wencheng searched for several days, but still couldn't find a particularly suitable house, either it was too far from the Imperial College, or the house was too poor.

Su Tong finally ran into a manager of the Hu family.

Because of Ah Yue, the stewards of Hu's family respected Su Tong very much. It happened that Su Tong went to the dental shop to find someone who wanted to sell, rent, or mortgage a house.In the end, after looking at several houses, I was not very satisfied. The housing prices in Kaifeng City are high. No one is willing to sell a house if they have to. Just one home.

Unexpectedly, Manager Hu brought me good news.

As soon as he heard that Su Tong was going to buy a house, Manager Hu immediately said: "What a coincidence, last year a eunuch named Wen in the palace was honored by the emperor to go out of the palace to retire, and with the reward from the official family, he bought a house in Beijing. However, the eunuch's family found him an adopted son, and that son is also filial, and he wanted to take his adoptive father to the south for the elderly, so the eunuch wanted to sell his house."

"Madam Su, don't worry, the eunuch Wen used to be an old man who followed the queen mother, and had a high status in the palace. The old queen mother gave him a lot of money because he heard that the eunuch was out of the palace. I'm afraid the amount of money paid is much more than that of ordinary rich men, just because he is old, he will definitely not return to the capital, and his son is honest and honest, and the eunuch Wen doesn't want him to come to Kaifeng, a place where the water is too muddy , simply sold the house."

The Hu family's managers have always been shrewd, so of course they will not disappoint Su Tong.

It is said that the eunuch has lived in the palace for so many years, and he can even go out of the palace to retire in peace. His life experience must be rich, and his mentality is not bad. The house he likes is not bad.

Moreover, he is a eunuch, and he is a clear-headed eunuch. When he bought the house, he didn't think about marrying another wife and raising an adopted son. He just wanted to live in it for himself. The house he chose was exquisite and small, with only two courtyards and ten rooms. It's not a wooden house like Kaifeng, but a very delicate courtyard with green bricks and green tiles.

Su Tong took Su Wencheng and Erlang to have a look, and after a look, he liked it very much. After another question, the total cost was only two thousand guan. With this little money, I am afraid that a rich family can't buy a few good clothes. , I can't buy a few good jewelry. Although it is still a huge sum of money for the Su family, it is really nothing compared to the house that can be obtained.

After settling down on the house and registering the account, Su Wencheng hired two carriages and hired a bunch of idlers, and spent ten silver coins to help them transport the things back from the inn.

There was no need for Su Wencheng's help in tidying up the house, so Su Tong sent him away and told him to report to the Imperial College as soon as possible, and he had to visit the husband or something.

Although the official ordered him to go to the Imperial College to study, and he was given the false title of Xuan Delang, but after all, he is neither a son of an official, nor does he have any close friends in the capital, so if he really went to the Imperial College, he should lower his posture some as well.

Speaking of it, even though literati are considered light of hand, and the Imperial College is full of officials' children, they are somewhat arrogant, but no one really acts like a fool, oppressing and bullying outsiders casually.

Su Tong has read many novels before. No matter what the male protagonist does, he will fall into the endless cycle of being slapped in the face, slapped back, slapped in the face, and slapped back again. It seems that all the rich and powerful children are domineering and look down on officials from poor families generally.

Su Tong has always thought such novels are silly.

It is true that because of different classes and different thinking, children from poor families may not really be able to get along with children from rich and powerful families. After all, they are not in the same circle. Which parent really wants to teach their children to be idiots with their eyes above their heads.

These people always like to treat people like spring breeze, and they never make people feel unhappy easily. Of course, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. Among a thousand rich and powerful children, even if there are a few pampered and lawless ones It's not surprising that idiots.

This ratio is much lower than the ratio of those from poor families who do not seek to make progress but are also jealous.

Su Wencheng didn't encounter any troubles, first he wrapped a piece of inkstone as a gift, and then went to the Imperial Academy to speak directly, and to the Imperial Academy's Master Hu Fenhu.

Those who can directly talk about this category in the Guozijian are definitely not stupid. Hu Fen and Hu Lingyi belong to the same family. What kind of books, and gave him a few books to be used in the imperial examination.

The host and guest enjoy themselves, and the teachers and students are in harmony.

This is for sure, even if it is the direct lectures of the Imperial College, it should be said that the direct lectures of the Imperial College are particularly good towards their own students. Whoever makes his students are not ordinary people, most of them may become his in the near future colleagues.

However, on weekdays, there are not many people in the Guozijian who listen to the lectures seriously, and most of them are just pretending to be famous.It's not that there are people who he doesn't recognize, or who don't recognize him. There are very few people who come to visit as respectfully as Su Wencheng, and Hu Fen must be very happy in his heart.

Su Tong directed the maids at home to tidy up all the things in the house, but it was hard to find a cook. Su Tong had always been picky, and the seasonings in the Song Dynasty were indeed a little less. Even the salt was expensive. Kaifeng It's not easy to live in a house, you can't go to Fanlou to eat every day, and it's not good to waste money like this.

It was the Hu family who helped, and introduced a cook to him. His skills could not be compared with those of an imperial chef, but he cooked excellent southern dishes. Su Tong and Erlang tasted it and thought it was good, so they left him. down.

Once there are too many houses, the number of female envoys in the family will not be enough, so Su Tong simply went to the dental office to hire a few more, all of which were signed work contracts, just hiring people to work, without much thought.

Everything was arranged at home, and Su Wencheng entered the Imperial College smoothly. He was different from most of the students. Although he was not a son of an official, he was a seventh-rank official himself. Although he was a little different, at least he would not let people discriminate.

Unlike most of his classmates, Su Wencheng really wanted to study. He eagerly absorbed knowledge in the Imperial College, and listened carefully to every class. At this time, scholars were learning the six arts of a gentleman in a broad sense, and the course load was quite large. , I really want to read them all, but it takes a lot of energy.

Forget it, none of those teachers who teach mathematics can compare with him, other subjects, especially books, he listens very seriously in every class.

Calligraphy is good, it will be very helpful to become an official in the future.
