A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

His son actually got the favor of two prime ministers, which made Yang Di so excited that he wanted to get drunk.

"This matter is important. I will return to the palace immediately to report to Your Majesty."

Bao Zheng and Fu Bi hurried back. Shen An glanced at Yang Di and his son and said, "Let's have lunch in the academy."

"yes."

The academy has just opened its doors and enrollment has not yet started, but the cooks are already here.

"Let's go out to eat."

Yang Di looked at his son carefully, "Why have you lost weight? But you can't eat well in the academy?"

Yang Yan was still a little dissatisfied with his father's flattery just now, so he said: "No."

A student with a helper nearby said: "The academy went to hire cooks at that time. I heard that they were waiting for the imperial edict. Those cooks were all vying to come, and they could do it for a small amount of money. Later, we selected a few with good skills... Now we have The food in the academy is second to none in Bianliang, and it is guaranteed to make people salivate."

Yang Yan said awkwardly: "Dad, I will take you to eat in a while. I have something else on hand right now."

"Oh oh oh, you are busy first."

Yang Di smiled at the students, very kindly.

Yang Yan lowered his head and gradually became immersed in the details of processing the crossbow machine.

"Yang Yan, it's so shallow to take a knife!"

Yang Yan's hand was very steady. While looking at the workpiece, he said: "Yes, this knife is a little heated and will become soft. If the knife is too deep, the plate spinner will not be able to turn... When the strength is low, it will become soft." Something could go wrong..."

Wu Tong praised: "How did Dai Zhao come up with this?"

"I do not know!"

Yang Yan slowly lowered his sword and said with a smile: "Dai Zhao is a scholar of heaven. Sometimes when he encounters a difficult problem, he just asks, and Tai Zhao is able to give a solution or give directions on how to solve it."

"As long as I look at these things, my eyes will feel bright. If I can immerse myself in them for the rest of my life, I will have no regrets."

Yang Di couldn't help complaining secretly when he heard it, but he felt better when he remembered that Bao Zheng said that he could get an official position without doing anything.

As long as he has an official position, he may be able to get a position where he can care for his children and grandchildren. Then the old Yang family will be embarrassed. After Yang Di's death, he will not have the dignity to meet his ancestors.

"Look at this knife head." Yang Yan slowly put away the knife and asked the student who was spinning the plate to stop.

"This is good steel from Izumo Temple. When I asked for it, Shehui refused to give it to me. In the end, I promised some benefits, so I got some. It is said that there are very few, and it is very rare."

Yang Yan said proudly: "I gave it to a certain person after the imperial edict. I destroyed a few of them one after another, and then I figured out how to play with the knife."

He rested for a while and started processing again.

Cutting is a delicate job, and it is very boring, but Yang Yan does it with gusto and with a light touch, as if the processed parts are his wife.

After finishing it later, Yang Yan carefully cleaned the bed before taking his father to eat.

There are only a dozen students in the academy now, but the cooks still made a big pot of food according to Shen An's instructions.

Bowls of small pots of food were placed there. After Yang Yan passed by, he first gave him ten cents, took a sign, and then carried two wooden plates over.

The cooks stood behind the big bowls, waiting for the students to arrive, and served the dishes one by one.

"Today's dishes are pretty good! There are braised pig's feet, stir-fried diced chicken, and the soup is actually scallop and salty pork soup."

"And what is this called? It seems to be called a lion's head? This is good for dinner."

“There’s also steamed fish here.”

"..."

The food in the cafeteria was rich and fragrant, which surprised the well-informed Yang Di.

"How much does this cost?"

"Ten cents!"

It was Yang Yan's turn. He handed over the sign. The cook glanced at Yang Di and then asked, "What dish do you want to eat?"

There are options for dishes here, but at most they only have three dishes and one soup, even for Shen An.

"Steamed fish, braised pig's feet, fried tofu..."

Three dishes were served on wooden plates, followed by the main course.

The staple food is rice and pancakes, you can choose by yourself.

Yang Yan took two cooking cakes, then handed the wooden plate to his father, "Dad, you go over there to eat first."

Yang Di said something strange and went to the long table over there.

He looked at the canteen and felt a little weird.

There are rows of long tables and benches where the students sit, eating and talking.

No words are spoken when eating, and no words are spoken when sleeping. But here it was not taken seriously.

Moreover, Yang Di couldn't understand what the students said, which made him a little confused.

What is miscellaneous studies?

These students looked in high spirits and were not disappointed or uneasy at all.

This shows that they firmly believe that miscellaneous studies are better than Confucianism.

He glanced at his son, yes, his son was like this too.

I wonder what kind of ecstasy drug Shen An poured into them.

But it would be nice to be an official!

He laughed at the thought and took a bite of the pig's feet.

It was soft and waxy, and when the teeth pressed it down gently, the flesh opened, and then all of it went into the mouth.

The sweet and salty flavors are intertwined, making Yang Di feel that if he doesn't take a bite of the cake, he will live up to this delicious taste.

The cake is mixed with soft and glutinous pig's feet, which immediately neutralizes the greasiness, leaving only the sweetness.

Delicious!

Yang Di has traveled all over the country and has eaten Fan Lou's stir-fry several times, but this is the first time he has tasted the deliciousness of this pig's feet.

Yang Yan came back from cooking. He mixed the food together and ate it with big mouthfuls.

After finishing the meal, I slowly drank the scallop and salty broth. I felt warm and comfortable all over my body.

Yang Yan stood up and went back with two plates.

"Daddy, come and wash..."

Yang Di thought he was going to wash the dishes, so he chased after him.

"Someone is washing here."

Yang Yan placed the wooden plate in a large wooden basin. When the woman next to him saw that the food on the wooden plate was clean, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Turning around, Yang Yan introduced: "Students eat for free, outsiders pay ten cents for a meal, and everyone gets three dishes and one soup, even if they are waiting for an imperial edict. No leftover food is allowed after you have chosen it, otherwise you will be punished ."

"Well, it can't be wasted." Yang Di felt more and more uneasy.

This academy seems to be a new one, but the rules are very well organized and more comprehensive than those of the Imperial Academy.

That Shen Daizhao...how does he know so much?

There are also miscellaneous studies.

Very powerful ah!

So Shen An just taught his son casually, but he was able to attract the approval of the two prime ministers. What does this mean?

This shows that miscellaneous studies are highly valued by the central government.

Could that person's previous attitude... have angered Shen An? Shen An will be disgusted with his son by then.

Yang Di felt a little uneasy. Yang Yan sent him to the gate. Just when Shen An came back, he smiled and said, "You're going back now?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing Shen An's kindness, Yang Di was happy and said with a smile, "I'll tell you how much the tuition will be. I still have some money in my family."

"Currently the academy does not charge money, so rest assured."

When Shen An saw Yang Yan's uncomfortable look, he knew it. After Yang Di left with a lot of thanks, he said to Yang Yan, "Come here."

When the two of them reached the edge, Shen An said, "Do you think your father has embarrassed you?"

Yang Yan raised his head and looked at Shen An in surprise.

"That's what young people are like!" Shen An said in an old-fashioned way: "Do you think your father is embarrassed by being flattery? You think he didn't straighten his back and talk to the Prime Minister with his head held high... You think he shouldn't ask for help... right? ?”

Yang Yan was really surprised, "You... how did you know about the imperial edict?"

"Because I was young too!"

Shen An smiled and said: "Back then..."

He thought of his father in that world.

My father works very hard and is always smiling and very kind outside.

But he would get into trouble from time to time, and every time his father would have to apologize or even pay some price.

At that time, his father was always smiling and kind, which made him feel humiliated.

At that time, he felt that his father was really embarrassed!

"Your dad...Yang Yan, you don't want to lower your head because it will make you uncomfortable, right?"

"yes."

Yang Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling that Shen An had seen through him.

"Your father doesn't like to bow his head either! But why does he lower his head?"

Shen An looked at the void, missing his father in that world.

Yang Yan was startled, and the memory of his childhood was recalled.

At that time, my father was kind, but he was very upright and refused to let others go. He spoke loudly and looked bold...high-spirited.

When did that start to change?

It seems that after a certain person started studying, his father began to bow his head to his husband... he bowed his head to many people and started to smile kindly.

Later, someone entered Taixue, and his father became even busier. He had less and less time to come back from doing business. Every time he came back, he would ask about his studies with a straight face, and then went to Taixue again, carrying gifts...

Naturally, Guo Qian and the others would not show up to offer wine, and Professor UU Reading www.uukanshu.net also refused to accept his gift, so Dad lowered his head and laughed again.

The smile at this time... was a flattering smile.

Yang Yan remembered the look in his father's eyes when he went out earlier. It must have been concern...

There is still some joy, he is rejoicing for someone's future.

Yang Yan looked up and found that he had burst into tears at some point.

"Awaiting the edict, students are asking for leave..."

He rushed out with tears streaming down his face.

Shen An looked at it with a smile, and then whispered: "Dad, I'm fine."

Father's love will always appear more reserved, even with thunder and lightning.

Yang Yan rushed out all the way. He ran very fast, and the people around him looked at him in surprise.

Why did you run out crying?

Yang Yan chased him for more than a hundred steps and saw his father.

It was a slightly curved shoulder, as if something was pressing on it, making him a little overwhelmed.

He heard the rapid footsteps and turned around slowly.

"Dalang..."

Yang Di's originally dull face had a smile, a very gentle smile. After seeing the tears on his face, the smile turned into panic, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Yang Yan ran forward and stopped, panting, and suddenly knelt down...

"Dad, the child is wrong..."

"Get up quickly!"

Yang Di went to pull him but couldn't.

"Dad, the child thinks you are embarrassed by doing this, but...but you are willing to bow your head for the sake of the child..."

He hugged his father's thigh, guilt coming over him like a tide.

Yang Di felt a little helpless and touched the top of his head, and said repeatedly: "It's okay, Daddy doesn't feel ashamed, Daddy is fine..."

One person stood and lovingly touched his son's head.

One person was kneeling, tears pouring out...
