After the paper mill was built, Lu Yao had been thinking about the newspaper.
Lottery tickets have already proven the paper mill's printing capabilities. When he hired stone masons to carve lottery numbers, he asked them to carve printing fonts.
Lu Yao didn't ask them to use any celebrity's cursive script, so they just used Song style.
It is said to be Song style, but this font has not yet appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty. After Lu Yao wrote Song style, the old masons all praised Lu Yao's good calligraphy.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yao hurried out of Lu Mansion after breakfast.
Today his target is Su Shi. Since Su Shi longed for the birth of newspapers, let him see with his own eyes how newspapers are printed this year.
Lu Yao had not yet been a guest at Su Shi's home. After several inquiries, he learned that the family of three was renting at Huguo Temple.
Huguo Temple is also a temple with many monks inside. However, there are many vacant rooms in the temple, which are specially prepared for students who come to Beijing to take exams.
These students don't have much money, so renting in Huguo Temple is their only choice. It only costs 300 yuan a month. There is no cheaper place in Bianliang than here.
Lu Yao knocked on the door of a monk's room, and there was a reply from inside the room.
"Who is it!" Lu Yao knew it was Su Xun as soon as he heard the voice.
When Su Xun saw that Lu Yao was coming, he immediately welcomed him in.
The place is very simple. For people like them who have no relatives in Beijing, it is good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
There was definitely no tea, and Lu Yao didn’t like drinking tea from the Song Dynasty.
After Su Xun poured a bowl of cold water for Lu Yao, he went to do other things.
Watching Su Xun flipping pots and bowls, she just went to cook without thinking.
There are many people like Su Xun who cook their own food in Huguo Temple. After all, food in Bianliang is so expensive that it is impossible to go out to restaurants every day, so it is more cost-effective to cook it yourself.
Lu Yao took a sip of cold winter water and suddenly became conscious. This was a good refreshing thing.
After entering the inner room, he saw Su Che reading a book. When he saw some movement, he turned around and saw Lu Yao leaning on the door frame. He just nodded slightly and went back to reading.
Are you neglecting yourself?
Lu Yao was a little speechless. Although the day's plan is in the morning, he couldn't not say hello. He was more or less a guest. He should at least ask if he had eaten.
For someone like Su Che who was obsessed with reading, Lu Yao was not as knowledgeable as him.
If you want to ask how different the two brothers are, you have to look at these two from the Su family.
The second child was indulging in reading, while the eldest child was lying on the bed and fast asleep, and there was still snoring.
Lu Yao also admired Su Che for being able to read books in such an environment.
There are two beds in the small room. The bed that only sleeps one person should belong to Su Xun, and the slightly larger one should be used by the two brothers of the Su family.
Lu Yao really couldn't imagine how these two people would look like sleeping together.
Lu Yao sat on the bed, put his cold hands into the warm quilt, and then put his hands into Su Shi's clothes.
Su Shi was instantly awakened by the cold, and couldn't help shouting: "Ziyou, you study hard, that's why you are teasing me as a brother. As a brother, I don't have to study hard like you."
Lu Yao always liked to tease his father out of bed like this in his previous life, and doing it now still has the same taste. There is no difference between the ancients and the later generations.
After Su Shi saw clearly that the person making trouble was Lu Yao, he showed a resentful look, continued to lie down, and muttered: "Lu Erlang! It is not the behavior of a gentleman to disturb someone's dream."
Lu Yao could still let Su Shi continue to sleep, so he directly lifted the quilt, and a biting cold wind blew in from outside the door.
Su Shi curled up into a ball and looked at Lu Yao with wide eyes, "What are you doing! I will catch a cold."
Seeing Su Shi's expression, Lu Yao couldn't help laughing.
He laughed so hard that his whole body lost all strength, and he squatted down holding his stomach, holding on to the bed with one hand to prevent himself from falling.
"Have you laughed enough?" Su Shi knew that he would not be able to sleep now, so he put on his clothes haphazardly.
After laughing enough, Lu Yao stood up on the bed and pushed Su Shi, "The sun is almost shining on my butt and I still want to sleep. At this time, the farmers have finished their work in the fields."
Su Shi pursed his lips and argued: "When do they sleep and when do I sleep? I study all night long, can they compare?"
"You think I don't know who you are, you are just lazy."
Seeing that his lie was exposed, Su Shi didn't give any explanation. After tying the frenulum, he crossed his legs and leaned against the bed. He yawned and asked, "Tell me, why are you looking for me like this? Come on, tell me.
I've been quite busy these past few days, and I haven't seen you anywhere. When I asked the Lu Mansion, they said you had gone out, and your servants didn't know where you went."
"I must be doing serious things when I'm not at home." Lu Yao trembled after taking a sip of cold water.
Su Shi snorted: "Beating the Liao envoy is considered a serious matter?"
Lu Yao made a big blush and was slapped in the face as soon as he pretended to be a cup. The friendship between the brothers was about to overturn.
"How come beating the Liao envoy is not considered a serious matter? After he received a beating from me, he didn't even dare to say anything about increasing his age and ran back to Daliao in despair." Lu Yao explained.
Su Shi gave Lu Yao a thumbs up, "If nothing else, you did a good job in this matter. I would definitely not dare to do it. Did you know that when the news of you beating the Liao envoy spread to the protector of the country?
After the temple, there was a lot of excitement. None of the students praised you and said you were a good man. They said that the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were not as effective as your fists."
Lu Yao felt a little shy. It was really nice of him to praise me like that. I would be proud of him.
He coughed twice and said, "You can say the previous one, but don't say the last sentence. It is completely flattering. If those officials hear it, they will definitely hold a grudge. When I become an official, there will be countless
Small shoes to wear. For the sake of my future career as an official, just keep those words in your heart and don’t say them again."
"If you don't say it, don't say it." Su Shi stood up and left the bed, walking towards the outhouse, probably looking for something to eat.
He eats and sleeps, and sleeps and eats. Su Shi fits the characteristics of a certain animal.
When Lu Yao walked out of the inner room, he glanced at Su Che and found that this guy was still studying. The play he had with Su Shi just now did not disturb him in any way.
Lu Yao had to admire him, he was really awesome.
When Lu Yao saw Su Shi again, he was holding last night's pie in one hand. He knew at a glance that the pie was harder than a brick.
As expected, neither of these two brothers is normal.
Su Shi took a bite of the cake and drank cold water.
The cold water pancake is really good.
Seeing Lu Yao looking at him intently, Su Shi pointed to the plate next to him with some reluctance, with a piece of pie lying in it.
"It tastes good. Erlang will try it too."
Lu Yao waved his hands repeatedly, he was not lucky enough to tolerate this kind of thing.
When the cake in his hand was finished, Su Shi asked again, "I really don't want to eat it."
Lu Yao turned his head away, not daring to look at such a beautiful scene.
Su Shi sighed, "There are still a lot of vulgar people in the world. Those who have never tasted the taste of this overnight cake will not know the beauty. The hard skin and the soft heart, this combination of hard and soft, can create delicious food in the world."
, it would be a real pity if you don’t eat it.”
Lu Yao felt that these words were getting more and more uncomfortable.
Su Shi finished the remaining pie in three strokes, then burped and asked: "Tell me what you are looking for for me. If it's about studying, don't even think about it. With my
You don’t need to read the book Wen Cai at all, but Ziyou is a good reading companion, so you should ask him for this matter."
Lu Yao spread his hands, "Do you think I am a scholar?"
"It doesn't look like it."
"That's it. I'm definitely not looking for you to study. I'm here to show you something good."
"Good thing? Could it be that there is another bright and beautiful Qinghuan in Bianliang City?"
Lu Yao: "..."
He really wanted to crack open Su Shi's head and see if it was all yellow inside.
"I'll give you a break first, and you'll understand when you see it later." Lu Yao said, picking up the Analects of Confucius next to him, then pulling Su Shi's sleeve and walking outside.
Seeing Lu Yao leaving in a hurry, Su Xun, who was cooking, shouted, "Why don't Lu Erlang leave after breakfast?"
Lu Yao waved his hand behind him, "No need for Uncle Su, and you don't need to prepare Zizhan's dinner. I'll take him to a fun place today."
Su Xun shook his head. Young people know how to play, but he, the second son, is more stable.
Before he could finish his sigh, he saw Su Che running out, "Father, there's no need to prepare food for me. I'm going to see what Lu Erlang's fun place is like."
Su Shi shouted silently beside Lu Yao: "Five, four, three..."
"What are you shouting?" Lu Yao asked curiously.
Before Su Shi could answer, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother, Erlang, wait for someone."
When Su Che ran up to the two of them, Su Shi counted 'one' in his mouth.
"I knew Ziyou was a restless person, so he would definitely follow us out." Su Shi showed two rows of white teeth.
Lu Yao looked at Su Zhe who was out of breath and asked, "Weren't you studying seriously just now? Why did you come out to find us?"
Su Shi smiled and said: "My second brother, if you see him studying hard and ignoring others, he is in a hurry to go out. This was the case when I went to Chunxiang Tower before. He has to finish a book every day, and when he sees you coming, he will
Knowing that he must go out today, he must finish reading this book quickly, so he will ignore you. I guess, second brother, you have just finished reading the book."
Su Che winked at Su Shi and said, "Big brother still understands me."
Lu Yao really didn't want to be with these two brothers. He was afraid that one day he would become as crazy as them.
After going around in circles, Lu Yao led them to the old stonemason.
Su Shi looked at the many tombstones placed at the door of the store and felt a little scared. "Lu Erlang, why did you bring us here? It's so gloomy here that I don't dare to go in."
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Yao pulled Su Shi into the house.
Su Shi was even more shocked when he saw the people inside.
Each of these masons looked tired, with huge dark circles under their eyes, as if they had not slept for days and nights.
The old stonemason felt like crying the moment he saw Lu Yao.
