Chapter 1138 The Emperor of Han summons Qin Hui from another world
Seeing Su Yan's appearance, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but shake her head, and tidied the room for him, taking the dirty clothes out directly.
When she was about to leave, the woman turned her head again, looked at Su Yan, and said with a bit of embarrassment, "Sir, if you have time, can you teach my children to read and write? My family is poor, and I will help you after the teacher's ceremony."
Yes, but every day after that, our family will provide you with three meals a day."
Among the common people, there are actually very few people who have realized the leap of class through reading and understanding the road to imperial examination. However, these few people have become the benchmark for countless ordinary people.
Many ordinary people want to read and write because of this.
However, reading and literacy requires capital, and not every ordinary person can afford it.
Su Yan couldn't help but was slightly stunned. He noticed the look of expectation in the woman's eyes. Su Yan then smiled kindly at her and said, "It's just a trivial matter, so why bother! Su is just alone and living in a noble place."
I’m grateful enough for Rong Shen, so there’s no need to talk about the ceremony...”
Hearing this, the woman immediately smiled and said happily, "Actually, I have seen you, sir, for a long time. You must be a good person!"
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart when he was given a "good guy card" by this mere woman.
The door was gently closed by the woman. Su Yan lowered his head and sniffed himself gently. He smelled the sour smell, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He looked at the bowl of food on the table again. At this time, it was still a little steaming, and it was no wonder that it wetted his manuscript paper. He picked up the bowl and dug into his mouth, gobbling it down...
However, the layout of private courtyards is very simple and the area is not large. However, it is kept very clean and tidy. The ground is not very flat. There is a jujube tree planted in the corner, and there is a deep well next to the wall, which is covered by a manhole cover.
Under the eaves, there is a row of bundled firewood, leaning against the earth wall.
Several free-range chickens were pecking at each other in the courtyard, lingering in the sound of "clucking" and the faint smell of chicken excrement, while Su Yan taught the two children.
In the past half month, although Su Yan still had to go to the city to set up a stall from time to time, Su Yan's life had become much better, and at least he had some peace of mind.
Once upon a time, these problems that he didn't care about at all have now become his greatest satisfaction.
If possible, he would even be willing to continue like this for the rest of his life, at least he would no longer suffer from hunger.
The host's surname is also Su. Although the couple is indispensable for the common philistine calculations of ordinary citizens, they are actually quite kind-hearted. Last year, Su Yan defaulted on two months' rent, but they did not kick him out.
Mr. Su is already over 40 years old this year. He earns money to support his family by killing animals in a butcher shop. He wakes up early and goes to work late every day, which is very hard work. With this job, he can sometimes get some meat for the family and eat meat.
Although it is hard work, it can be considered a high-class living standard among ordinary people. Not many ordinary people can eat meat occasionally.
The family actually moved from Hedong Road. The eldest son was originally a member of the Great Cang Imperial Army. He had a long military position and died in the battle against the three kings.
When the eldest son dies, one of the strongest pillars of the family is broken, which is like a bolt from the blue for the remaining family members, old and young.
In the first two years, the family was plunged into darkness.
There are two remaining children in Old Man Su's family, a son and a daughter. The son is only twelve years old, and the daughter is not yet eight years old, but they have already begun to help with the housework.
Su Yan had been an official in Da Cang for many years, but he had not taught or educated people for a long time. Now, he has picked up the craft again and taught enlightenment, but he also enjoyed it a little. He started to forget about it a little bit.
Troubles since.
Su's mother made two simple sand trays by hand to make paper, and folded wattle sticks to make pens. It was simple but durable. This was a method that Su Yan had never thought of.
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the primitive universe..."
What Su Yan taught was the Thousand-Character Classic. Over this period of time, he had taught more than a hundred characters.
The Thousand-Character Essay is also the most common enlightenment reading material in the Apocalypse Continent.
"Let's stop here today!" After listening to the two little guys reciting a passage, Su Yan nodded with great satisfaction. He comes from a poor family and loves to learn, that's all.
These two little guys are very smart, and sometimes they even remind him of himself when he was a teenager.
"Thank you sir!" Upon seeing this, the two children bowed politely, like two young adults.
The sky was getting darker little by little. Su Yan returned to the room, but noticed at the door that the brother and sister were carefully putting away the "paper and pen". Then they helped, chopping firewood, fetching water, making a fire...
The sound of "bang bang bang" banging on the door disturbed the tranquility of the courtyard. The kitchen was filled with smoke and the aroma of rice was already emanating.
Hearing the unusual noise, Su Yan walked out and looked at the two men who almost barged in. They were wearing black clothes and black sleeves, with spider patterns embroidered on their arms, and a standard long sword on their waist. Their eyes were sharp and cold.
The boy who opened the door was obviously a little frightened by the two of them. However, the two of them had no scruples. They scanned the scene in the court and looked directly at Su Yan, who was dressed in simple and neat clothes: "Are you Su Yan?"
"Exactly! Where did the two officers come from?" Su Yan couldn't help but ask.
Looking at the two people wearing standard equipment, they are clearly from the system, and I don't know which department they are from. But looking at their clothes, they are clearly not officials from the Yecheng government office.
In fact, looking at the other party's attire, I'm afraid he is not a member of an organization that is exposed to the sun.
The two people were obviously not responsible for answering Su Yan's doubts. They just glanced at Su Yan. Seeing his poor appearance, they said directly: "Yes, that's fine! Come with us!"
"What can I ask?" Su Yan asked.
However, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. With his status, he was most afraid of being approached by people within the organization. It was really unpredictable, and if he was really unlucky, he might lose his head.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, just come with us!" the two said indifferently.
Su Yan felt helpless, but she could only simply pack up, say hello to Su's mother, and follow her.
…
When he arrived at the place, Su Yan was told that it was the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who wanted to summon him.
Su Yan's original peaceful state of mind was suddenly destroyed. Ever since he was forced to come to Yecheng, he had lived a miserable life for the past few years. If he was really willing to do this, it would be normal for him to be such a coward.
It is obviously impossible that it is not even comparable to normal people.
After all, the gap between his current life and his previous life is huge!
Even after so many years, he couldn't accept this gap.
Every time I dream back at midnight, my heart is full of mixed emotions.
After he settled down, he also considered how to make a comeback and get out of the predicament, but he never came to an agreement. Even his life was saved by others. How could he get out of such a predicament easily?
But now, with the sudden summons of the new Emperor of the Han Dynasty, his mood couldn't help but become hot again. He had a vague feeling that this might be a great opportunity for him, and he must seize it.
This is not the first time Su Yan has come to the palace, but he has been to Da Cang's palace before, but now, it is the first time he has come to Da Han's palace, and as a commoner captive, he bows down to the Han Dynasty.
In front of Huang Wangyu.
Wang Yu was still so aloof, holding a net in his hand. Regarding Su Yan's situation during these days, his eyes were full of scrutiny. He looked at Su Yan and asked: "Su Yan, how have you lived in Yecheng in the past few years?"
, but you’re still used to it?”
"Your Majesty, even though it's just porridge and side dishes, hidden in the busy city, you're still contented!" Su Yan's face was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, showing the style of a famous family.
After hearing his answer, Wang Yu spoke again, "Shilang Su, he is worthy of being the son of the Prime Minister. He comes from a famous family and became famous at a young age. He has the air of a wise man!"
"Your Majesty, I am no longer a servant now, I am just a man in cloth!" Su Yan buried his head.
Hearing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Over in Henan, your official position has not been dismissed yet. You are still a minister of Da Cang, but you are just temporarily staying in Yecheng!"
Su Yan immediately said: "When small people come from the north, they become Han people! They are no longer ministers of the Great Cang!"
Hearing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but smile again.
It seemed that things today were going more smoothly than he imagined.
Life in the past few years seems to have had a considerable impact on the son of the Prime Minister.
He had heard that when the prime minister's son was first captured, although he was not as arrogant as those die-hards, he was not that stable either.
"You are a distinguished scholar-bureaucrat. You were originally a high-ranking official and well-paid. However, you moved to Yecheng without food and clothing. You were in poverty and you only made a living by writing essays. Don't you think it is an insult to your elegance?" Wang Yu asked again.
"Your Majesty, I have been studying all year round since I was a child, and I pride myself on being profound in important matters. However, now that I have experienced this business, I realize that my vision was narrow in the past. Poems and books govern politics, but mere talk harms the country. As the sage said, it is hard on his heart and mind.
, I worked my muscles and bones, starved my body and experienced it, and then I realized that it was just an affectation in the past..." Su Yan said.
After several years of living in poverty, he really saw something he had never seen before, and made him realize something he had never thought about before.
"It seems that Mr. Su has had a lot of good experiences these days!" Wang Yu chuckled, "Hidden in the market for several times, how did you feel?"
Su Yan responded eloquently: "Firstly, the common people feel that His Majesty the Emperor is kind and good at governing the people; secondly, they feel that the laws and disciplines of the court are strict and moderate; thirdly, they feel that the people of Yecheng are kind and honest, and it is not easy to make a living...
..."
After hearing what he said, Wang Yufu looked at Su Yan a few more times, sighed leisurely, and said: "Shilang Su, you have a lot more fireworks than before, but I feel very comfortable looking at you.
If you are an official and a pastor, you will be a good minister!"
This time, Wang Yu spoke the truth.
Although he had never met Su Yan a few times before, he had some impression of it. But when he saw Su Yan today, from inside to outside, it was almost the same as the one that had been blurred in his memory.
They are completely different.
"I wonder what Mr. Su thinks about today's situation?" Wang Yu asked again, somewhat abruptly.
After hearing the question, Su Yan thought carefully for a while, raised his eyes and glanced at the Han Emperor carefully, and then said: "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the common people, after the Hedong War, the Han took all the land north of the river.
The national power has greatly increased. With your majesty’s wise strategy, political administration and military use, given time, we will surely be able to unify the world and rebuild the world!”
These words did not mean that Su Yan meant to praise Wang Yu.
With the end of the Battle of Hedong, the situation in Da Cang has become increasingly clear, and the strengths of the various forces have spread apart from each other, forming different levels.
Prince Jing, who was originally strong, had already gone downhill at this time.
If it weren't for good luck, I'm afraid the family fortune of the Da Cang royal family would have been wiped out.
"Thank you for your kind words!" Wang Yu seemed to be very happy. He looked at Su Yan and said, "Your family are all in Henan, but now they are far apart. You must miss your family very much!"
After hearing what Wang Yu said, Su Yan finally showed a little bit of emotion on his face. After a moment, he finally sighed and said, "How can anyone not miss his family?"
At this moment, Su Yan's heart really started to fluctuate.
As he said, after being homeless for so many years and living a precarious life, how could he not miss his family?
How many midnights were there? They were all spent in endless longing and pain!
Wang Yu nodded, he seemed very satisfied with Su Yan's attitude.
"I am willing to let you return to Henan from Runan and reunite with your family!"
Su Yan was a little dazed, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. Originally, according to his guess, if the Emperor of Han wanted to use him, he would probably give him a position in Yecheng to prepare for consultation on "cang affairs".
Therefore, Su Yan was actually very surprised when he heard that the Emperor of Han was going to release him back to Henan.
This was completely opposite to what he had thought before.
Wang Yu was obviously aware of Su Yan's doubts, so he said calmly: "You don't have to have doubts in your heart. I am letting you go back to Henan just to let you bring a letter to Huangfu Guyuan."
"In addition, if you can continue to serve as an official in Cangting, wouldn't you be able to better serve my great man?" Wang Yu said in a somewhat erratic voice.
A Su Yan is useless among the big men. Only when he returns to the great blue can he be useful to him and the big men.
After saying this, Su Yan completely reacted, and without any hesitation, he prostrated himself and shouted, "I am willing to serve your Majesty!"
A few years ago, he would have disdained being associated with such a rebellious official and traitor in his eyes.
But a few years later, he said that this was to comply with the destiny, to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and the good birds choose the wood to roost.
When Wang Yu used Su Yan, he meant to use him as Qin Hui. Of course, if he could follow it, there would be another kind of narrative in the Qing Shi Dan Book after the Great Unification...
