After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 516 Old Friend

In Jiangbei Prefecture, Jiangnan Road, there is a small county called Jingning County.

There is a small academy in the north of the small county.

Its name is Sanwei Bookstore.

It has only one school, and only one teacher.

His name is Su Yi'an!
As the sun goes down, the students of Sanwei Bookstore are out of school.

Su Yi'an patted the dust off his body, and came to his simple house in the backyard.

Sitting in the small yard, he brewed a pot of tea for himself, and was thinking about what to get for dinner, but suddenly there was a strong smell of wine.

He shrugged his nose, sniffed vigorously, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a grunt.

Good wine!

This wine is much better than Ruilu in Kyoto!

Could it be that the Qu family improved Ruilu's brewing method?
wrong!

Such a good wine will definitely not be sold in this remote town.

Su Yi'an turned his head and looked around, and after a while, he saw an old man with white hair and beard walking slowly towards his small courtyard with a jar of wine in his hand.

He took a closer look, and immediately stood up, with a look of surprise on his face——

He hurried over, opened the small fence gate of the small courtyard, grinned, and bowed:
"Sir, how did you come here?"

Here comes Huamanting!

Hua Manting stroked his long beard, tilted his head and looked at Su Yi'an carefully:

"I left Kyoto 20 years ago, now that I'm getting older, how come my temper has become smaller?"

Su Yi'an stretched out his hand sideways and pointed out: "When I was young, I acted so frivolously, sir, I laughed at you!"

"The humble house is simple, but there are such fine wines...how about the food?"

Hua Manting walked in, laughing loudly:
"Su Yi'an, Su Yi'an, you didn't call me Mr. Old Man in the past, you should call me Old Man Hua. That sounds pleasing to your ears... are you hungry?"

Su Yi'an smiled awkwardly, and said embarrassingly: "Isn't that what I call when I have some academic arguments with you? But in my heart, you are still my husband!"

Hua Manting glanced at Su Yi'an: "Time is really like water, it can really wear away the edges and corners of stubborn stones, but in the eyes of this old man, this smoothness is not good!"

"The old man still likes your old temper."

"Old friends reunited, and the old man brought his own wine. This dish...isn't it something you should prepare?"

Su Yian was stunned, "Sir, please sit down for a while, such a fine wine should go with a good dish, I'll go buy a catty of braised pork head meat to accompany the wine!"

Hua Manting heard it: "Why are you so poor?"

Su Yi'an smiled embarrassedly: "When I resigned from the capital, my parents were very disappointed."

"I haven't been in touch with my family in these years, so I haven't reached out to my family for money."

"This Sanwei Bookstore... I think you saw it when you came in. There are more than 50 students accepted, but most of them are children from poor families!"

"They are eager to study, but they can't afford Shuxiu... Mr. once said that people are born with destiny, and only reading is fair."

"Students keep this in mind, they can't be turned away, so they have to teach for free."

"Staying in this place for 15 years, on the contrary, I put in the money I saved when I was an official in Kyoto... Isn't this getting poorer and poorer?"

"Besides, when it comes to eating wine, the most important thing is the wine and who you drink with. As for the food that goes with the wine, it doesn't matter."

Hua Manting laughed again: "There are still as many fallacies as before."

"Sit down. When the old man came, he ordered some dishes from Erliangju, and they will deliver them later."

When Su Yi'an heard it, "This...is costing you a lot. When I get rich one day, I will treat you back with good wine and good food!"

The two sat down.

Hua Manting put the wine jar on the stone table, and looked up at Su Yi'an:
"Are you developed?"

"When you grow up, the grass on the old man's grave will be as tall as a person!"

"However, the old man came here today to show you a way to develop."

When Su Yi'an heard this, he smiled inwardly, of course he knew that it was impossible for Hua Manting to come to this ghostly place without incident.

As for what was going on, he could even roughly guess it.

These days, news about the regent has spread overwhelmingly.

Although Jingning County is the most remote small county in Jiangnan Road, this place is one of the two roads entering Guanzhong from Jiangnan Road.

Now that spring has begun, business travel has gradually increased.

What happened in Jiangnan Road, especially what happened in Wufanyuan, has now spread to Jingning County, and has become something that the people of Jingning County talk about.

He just laughed at those rumors.

He didn't know much about Li Chen'an's living here.

He just thinks that rumors are exaggerated.

Especially when I heard that Li Chen'an used a thousand heavenly soldiers to wipe out Xiahou Zhuo and Xie Jing's [-] troops...

This is impossible without even thinking about it!
Especially what Lei Zhi said that day was even more ridiculous.

Su Yi'an poured a cup of tea for Hua Manting, handed it over respectfully, and said with a smile: "Sir, if you want to introduce me to a few more students from wealthy families so that I can charge more for Shu Xiu, of course I will." Will thank you very much."

"But if you want me to be an official again..."

Su Yi'an shook his head: "When I left the capital 20 years ago, I already lost my desire to be an official."

"You are clear about my temperament. I resigned from office back then, but I still listened to your suggestion."

"As an official, you need to be tactful, judge the situation, flatter and so on, but I don't have any of them."

"Even after these 20 years of baptism, I'm just a little humble in front of you, and I still haven't changed in my bones."

"Didn't you say that at the time? You said that if I continue to be an official, I'm afraid I will lose my life."

"I thought about it, it's more important to be alive."

"If you can't show your ambitions in the court, then teach more students like you, and maybe one or two of them can become talented, become officials of the court, and be able to govern one side and benefit the people of the other side. This is the best. "

"It can be regarded as a continuation of my original ideal."

While saying these words, Su Yi'an's mood gradually became a little depressed.

After all, it was a ten-year cold window, when Yu Zhaohua was the champion of high school in the second year of high school, he straddled the horse and paraded through the streets to show his joy, wrote inscriptions on the Wild Goose Pagoda in the literary world, and climbed to the top to welcome the imperial decree... I thought I had finally made it through, and finally I could stand on the temple and realize my dream ideal.

But how beautiful it was at that time, how embarrassing it was when I left.

When he left the capital, when he left the south gate of the capital, he turned his head three times at a step.

Except for the old man in front of him, there was no one to see him off.

The old man Hua also brought a jug of wine.

Kyoto Ruilu.

The two drank a bowl of wine each outside the south gate, and when he left, Old Man Hua told him to live well and meet again by fate.

On the contrary, I survived well in this remote place, and now it seems that it is destined, after all, we will really meet again.

It's just that his original desire to serve the country has long gone cold after 20 years of erosion.

Hua Manting held the teacup and looked at Su Yi'an.

"You are ignorant!"

He didn't say why Su Yi'an was so ignorant, but asked suddenly: "Where's Xia Yuhe?"

Xia Yuhe is Su Yian's married wife.

It wasn't that they got married in the capital, but when he left the capital and returned to Pingjiang City.

"She went back to Pingjiang."

"Someone came to the house and sent a message, saying that the little girl Su Meng has returned from Mushandao...someone proposes marriage to the Su residence."

"Whose house?"

"The promotion of the Imperial City Division, Wang Zheng Jinzhong."
