Datang romantic little landlord

An hour later, Li Wangyou and Niu Wu had already appeared outside the gate of Yu Mansion in Buzhengfang, Chang'an City.

He politely gave his name to the concierge of the Yu Mansion, and asked to see Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan's official residence is from the third rank, although he is not considered prominent, he can still be regarded as a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty.

But the concierge of the Yu Mansion did not have the pretensions of a high official's mansion, even though Li Wangyou was dressed in white, he politely asked him to wait a while, and went to the mansion by himself.

Not long after, the old servant of the Yu mansion, Yu Dashi, greeted him with a smile on his face, and invited Li Wangyou into the mansion.

Yu Shinan did not treat Li Wangyou as an outsider, and received him in his study.

"Ziyou, it's really rare that you would take the initiative to come to the door." Yu Shinan said with a smile while twisting his beard.

Although Yu Shinan was in his seventies, he was full of energy and glowing red. No wonder he wanted to ask Li Er to resign, and he was not allowed to return home.

Li Wangyou saluted Yu Shinan respectfully, then took off his boots, went up to the mat, and sat down cross-legged.

"Grand Yu, after Qujiangchi's farewell, I miss you very much, so I came to visit you today." Li Wangyou was embarrassed to say that he came here to borrow money, so he could only talk about other things.

Yu Shinan was old and mature, and looked at Li Wangyou with a smile, but he seemed to see through his thoughts at a glance.

"Haha, what a visit to the old man, you little bastard, you haven't shown up since Qujiangchi, are you hiding from the old man? What's the matter when you come to the door today?"

Li Wangyou was indeed hiding from Yu Shinan. This old man was too keen to make himself famous and become an official, but this was not what he wanted, so naturally he could only hide from Yu Shinan first.

When he saw Yu Shinan that day in Qujiang Pond, he understood half of what kind of poetry meeting, Yang Zuan and Yu Shinan's master and apprentice had discussed it, and wanted to use it to make himself famous.

Li Wangyou naturally appreciated the old man's kindness, but he was afraid that Yu Shinan would force him to become an official, so he didn't dare to come.

If he hadn't been forced to do nothing today, Li Wangyou wouldn't have thrown himself into the trap like this.

"Hey, Mr. Yu, what are you talking about? I miss your old man's earnest teachings very much. This is the tea made by the old god Sun Simiao. It clears away the summer heat, nourishes the brain and clears the heart. It is also a medicine and a tea. It is very rare. The boy specially made it for Yu. I will send you some tea to show respect to your old man."

Li Wangyou hurriedly gave Sun Simiao the Herbal King Tea, which he specially asked Niu Wu to bring back after he was going to borrow money from Yu Shinan, and gave it to Yu Shinan as a door-to-door gift.

"Really? Then thank you Ziyou, the old man accepted the tea. Is there anything else for Ziyou? If there is nothing else, Ziyou can go back. The old man has business to deal with." Yu Shinan saw Li Wangyou To tell the truth, after accepting the tea leaves, I smiled and drove him away.

Li Wangyou was dumbfounded, this old man didn't follow the rules!

After taking my own Yaowang tea, I will drive myself away. Where is the old man who encouraged me to learn?

Shouldn't he encourage himself, and then offer to help him repay the debt, persuade himself to learn from others, and then he half-pushed and told Yu Shinan about his predicament, so he could borrow money?

Are you going to drive people away after only two words?Yu Gong, you are not kind!

Li Wangyou waited for Ai Ai for a long time, and could only say in embarrassment: "Yu Gong, the boy came today, and there is one more thing I want to ask."

"I know that your kid will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so tell me, what's the matter?"

"Hey, borrow money!"

"How many?"

"One thousand strings."

Yu Shinan was also taken aback by Li Wangyou's words, one thousand guan is not a small amount.

"What do you mean by borrowing money?"

"Buy the land." Having said that, Li Wangyou did not hide anything from the old man, and honestly explained the visit of the Li family today, and explained that the only way for him now is to buy the hillside land.

After hearing his words, Yu Shinan was so angry that he slapped on the case again: "Despicable and shameless! You are shameless! This old man must report to His Majesty, and let him discipline and discipline these clan scum!"

Li Wangyou was afraid of making the old man angry, so he quickly spoke out to comfort him.

It was hard for Yu Shinan to calm down, but he suddenly looked at Li Wangyou with a smile in his eyes: "Ziyou, you can borrow money, but you have to agree to one condition."

105 The Teachings of Duke Yu

Hearing this, Li Wangyou felt vigilant in his heart, the old man is not going to dig a hole for himself again, is he?

He asked cautiously, "Duke Yu, what's the condition?"

"Haha, it's simple and simple. This spring, you go to take the Jinshi examination, and you can pass the Jinshi." Yu Shinan narrowly blinked at Li Wangyou.

What the hell?Participate in Chunwei?Scholars and ranks?

Old man, are you not crazy?

Li Wangyou was taken aback by Yu Shinan's completely unreliable conditions. What does Yu Shinan mean by this?

Not to mention whether he is willing to participate in some spring, the key is that he is not qualified.Even if you are not a student from the capital or a prefecture or county school, or a person who has passed the prefectural and county examinations, what kind of scientific examination will you take?

"Duke Yu, did you make a mistake? The kid is neither a student nor a Juren!"

"Hey, it's okay, as long as Ziyou is willing to participate, I can still help you with one student quota." Yu Shinan smiled and squinted his eyes.

Li Wangyou said: "But I didn't submit the paper either."

Yu Shinan said: "I have an old man's recommendation, so what's the point of submitting? Those few poems of yours count as submission."

Li Wangyou struggled and said, "Duke Yu, I'm still dying."

Datang advocated filial piety, and parents who kept their filial piety within three years of their death were not allowed to participate in scientific examinations.

"The old man will intercede for you." Yu Shinan was unmoved.

Li Wangyou was completely dumbfounded, what does this old man mean?Do you really want to force yourself to take the scientific examination and enter an official career?He began to weigh in his heart whether to borrow the money or not.

Before Li Wangyou could figure out what Yu Shinan's words meant, Yu Shinan suddenly put away his previously smiling expression and looked at Li Wangyou seriously.

"Ziyou, I know that you have no intention of official career. I didn't want to let you waste your time like this. But when Xu Qing told me what you did in the past half month, the old man looked at you Ziyou with admiration. "

Yu Shinan got up and took down a scroll from the bookshelf, and when he opened it, what was drawn on it was the structural drawing of the waterwheel.

"Ziyou, it's really not easy for you to make such utensils that benefit the country and the people. Since you have no intention of official career, I don't force you. I borrowed money from you, and I don't need you to return it. The thousand If you spend money, Ziyou will use it to study this world-class knowledge in the future, and if you can make more of this kind of utensils that are beneficial to the people, it will be a great achievement!"

Li Wangyou was moved by Yu Shinan's words. It turned out that he was joking with him when he said that he was asked to take part in the scientific examination.

He stood up and bowed to Yu Shinan respectfully and respectfully: "Duke Yu, I will return the money in full within one year. As for what Duke Yu ordered, I will do my best. Please rest assured."

Yu Shinan smiled and waved his hands: "Haha, this old man has turned seventy this year, how many years are left to live? Why do you need so much money? Don't talk about Ziyou, Yu Da, go get gold for Ziyou."

More than 30 five taels of gold ingots were placed on the desk, and Li Wangyou was once again moved by Yu Shinan's mind.

The first time he saw Yu Shinan, the old man was still riding in a dilapidated carriage, and his clothes were very frugal, neither silk nor satin, nor inlaid with gold and jade. Through assets...

Li Wangyou bowed to the end again: "Young Master Yu's teaching, you must keep it in mind."
