Since most of the refugees have gone to the SF Express carriage to line up to receive meat porridge and steamed buns, the Yanfu soup kitchen stall here is relatively deserted, and two people are enough to deal with it. At this moment, Yan Shifan was sitting leisurely on a bamboo chair with a backrest in the porridge shed, cocking ~ Erlang's legs, holding a copy of "Zhou Li" and reading carefully.

"Zhou Li" is a Confucian classic, one of the thirteen classics, and "Rites" and "Rites" and "Rites" and called the "Three Rites", by the dynasties as the authority of the etiquette and law, whether it is a monarch, or a minister, before deciding to do a major event, they like to read the "Zhou Li" to see if there is a precedent to follow, whether it is in line with the etiquette system. For example, when Jiajing planned to divide the heavens and the earth, the first thing he did was to read the "Zhou Li" to find a theoretical basis for his decision.

As the saying goes, if something is good, it must be done at the bottom. In real history, Emperor Jiajing liked to study ancient rites very much, and it was by relying on the etiquette to squeeze out the first assistant Yang Tinghe step by step, so as to grasp the real power, so the ministers below were buried in the study of etiquette.

Although Xu Jin, a traverser, had a great impact on Jiajing, making him no longer obsessed with cultivating the Tao, and making him no longer stubborn about giving his biological father the title of emperor, the wheel of history does not seem to be so easily pried, such as "King Ning's rebellion" and "Altan siege" and other historical events, what should have happened still happened.

Now, Yan Song relied on two notes to discuss the sacrifice, and there were faint traces of being on the ~ position, and these two notes were from the hands of Yan Shifan, who was not amazing.

Yan Shifan, this guy is short and fat, and he has a small eye, at first glance, he thought he was a stupid pig head, and it was a one-eyed stupid pig head, who would have expected that this guy had a shrewd head under his stupid appearance, he couldn't read, but his brain was flexible, and he knew how to touch people's hearts and grasp the "key points".

"Brother Deqiu does not release the volume, he is really a model for my generation of readers, admire, admire!"

Yan Shifan was reading "Zhou Li" carefully, and a voice suddenly sounded beside him, Yan Fatzi was startled, and almost rolled off the bamboo chair and turned into a ball.

Yan Shifan table word Deqiu, No. East Building, the ancient word "ball" is not a "ball" in the modern sense, it is the meaning of jade, Deqiu, as the name suggests, is a moral such as jade, is a compliment, if it is in modern times, it is estimated that there will not be a name for themselves "XX ball".

Yan Shifan raised his eyes and saw three young scholars standing in front of him, two of whom were his classmates studying in Guozijian, and the third was very fresh.

A look of doubt flashed in Yan Shifan's eyes, and he stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Yuan Zhen praised it falsely, and he just flipped through the book casually when he was too idle." ”

Brother Yuan Zhen in Yan Shifan's mouth, his name is Zhao Wenhua, the name is Yuan Qian, a native of Cixi, Ningbo Prefecture, about twenty-four or five years old, currently going to school in Guozijian Middle School, and is a person who is going to take part in the Shuntianfu Township Test this year, and is about to participate in the spring competition in the coming year.

And another slightly younger scholar next to Zhao Wenhua is called Hu Zongxian, whose name is Ruzhen, and his ancestral home is Jixi, Anhui, but his family is hereditary Jinyiwei, and now he is also studying in Guozijian. Hu Zongxian is very familiar with Yan Shifan and often messes around together.

"Brother Deqiu is too humble, I heard that Brother Deqiu has been setting up a stall here for nearly a month, Yan Mansion is a well-deserved family of goodness, and now everyone is full of thumbs up when it comes to the Ministry of Rites." Zhao Wenhua patted his ass~ said.

Yan Shifan's mouth was modest, but a faint hint of pride flashed in his eyes, although he gave a porridge here every day, but there was a ration, and in a month, it cost about thirty stone of grain, equivalent to more than thirty taels of silver. Thirty taels of silver to buy a good reputation, why not?

"This brother is very angry, I don't know what to call it?"

After greeting each other for a while, Yan Shifan's gaze fell on the third strange scholar. This scholar is about twenty years old, born with a face like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, very handsome, and a calm temperament, he arched his hand gracefully, and introduced himself: "Under Li Chun, the expression is righteous, and Brother Yuan is a fellow villager...... Ahem! ”

After Li Chun introduced himself, he coughed violently, and even his neck turned red, but his face was as usual. Yan Shifan only felt a little strange, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Yuan's fellow villager, Brother Li Chun coughed a little badly, do you want to drink a bowl of porridge soup to moisten your throat?" ”

Li Chun arched his hand and said apologetically: "No need, I have been feeling cold recently, but it made Brother Deqiu smile." ”

Zhao Wenhua smiled and said: "Brother Li Chun's father is in the trough transportation business, and his family has a huge amount of money, and it is almost noon, is Brother Deqiu interested in rubbing him for lunch?" ”

Li Chun also hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "It is an honor to invite Brother Deqiu to dinner, I hope Brother Deqiu will appreciate his face!" ”

Yan Shifan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Shouyi is polite, but it is difficult to admit it, so he will brazenly disturb Brother Shouyi for a meal of wine." ”

Hu Zongxian, who had not spoken, said with a smile: "Look, what did I say, as long as Yan Deqiu, this kid is entertained with good food and wine, even if he is discounted, his ~ legs will crawl over." ”

Yan Shifan didn't care, and patted his belly and teased himself: "Otherwise, how do you think this fat came from?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Li Chun said: "Brother Deqiu is really funny, and the restaurant opposite seems to be good, what do you think is there?" ”

Yan Shifan nodded and said, "The roast duck and deer lips in this house are very good!" ”

"That's it!" Li Chun smiled slightly, and took the lead to the restaurant across the street.

Everyone asked for a private room on the second floor, and then ordered a table full of delicacies, as well as two jars of precious aged wine, this meal is estimated to be less than fifty taels of silver can not get off the stage, it seems that this Li Chun is indeed wealthy.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors on the dishes, everyone became acquainted, Li Chun raised his wine glass and said: "I heard that Brother Deqiu has been setting up a stall here for more than a month, and his deeds of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds are admirable. ”

Yan Shifan almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, he set up a stall here to give porridge for a month, and the total cost was only about 30 stone of grain, this Kaizi actually lost 1,000 stone of grain as soon as it was exported, and it was also white rice, at the current market price, if it is exchanged for silver, I am afraid that it will be 1,200 taels, it is really a rich man!

"I'm afraid this is not suitable, if Brother Shouyi has a heart, it is better to set up a shed and give porridge by himself." Yan Shifan faked the authenticity.

Li Chun said sincerely: "The matter of enrolling in the school has not yet been decided, and I really don't have the time to set up a stall to give porridge, so I have to borrow the hands of Brother Deqiu to make some contributions to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I hope that Brother Deqiu will not shirk it, by the way, I came from afar, and I don't know where to buy 2,000 stone white rice for a while, so it's better to do this, and then I will convert the silver at the current price and hand it over to Brother Deqiu, and then bother Brother Deqiu to buy food soup porridge by himself." ”

This is to give soup porridge and do good deeds, it is clearly to find an excuse to send silver to Yan Shifan!

Yan Shifan was a ghost, so he didn't understand what the other party meant, so he pretended to excuse himself and agreed, and asked pretending to be concerned: "What did Brother Shouyi mean when he said that the matter of admission was undecided?" ”

As the saying goes, people must ask for something, Yan Shifan has received benefits from others, so he naturally wants to invest in them and repay them with Li.

Without waiting for Li Chun to answer, Zhao Wenhua helped: "Brother Shouyi plans to go to school in the country, but because he has no way, out of the righteousness of his fellow villagers, he naturally wants to help one in the next, but his ability is limited and he can't help much, so he wants to ask Brother Deqiu to help find a way." ”

Yan Shifan couldn't help but suddenly realize that this person who gave him money was actually to go to school in the Guozi Prison, so he patted his chest and agreed: "My father was the Guozi Prison Priest Wine, so I still have some face in the Guozi Prison, and the matter of Brother Shouyi going to school in the Guozi Prison is on me!" ”

Guozijian is equivalent to the national university of the Ming Dynasty, which is the highest university in the country, not everyone can enter, only local tribute students, or children of high-ranking cadres, or scholars of the emperor's grace, can be eligible to enroll.

Li Chun was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, I thank Brother Deqiu, if I can successfully enter the Guozijian, I am willing to donate another 1,000 stone of rice." ”

Yan Shifan couldn't help but feel hot in his heart when he heard this, two thousand stone meters is two thousand four hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to more than ten years of his own Lao Tzu's fortune (note: the annual salary of the five officials of the Ming Dynasty is about 200 stones)

It is worth mentioning here that Yan Song's father and son in real history, Yan Song is extremely in love with power, and Yan Shifan is greedy for money, not only accepted twenty-seven concubines, but also accepted bribes on a large scale, even Jiajing's third son Yuwang Zhu Zaiyuan was ruthlessly extorted by him A sum of silver, if King Daoyu is the heir to the throne, Yan Shifan even dared to blackmail him, it can be seen to what extent he is greedy for money.

Of course, Yan Shifan does not have the strength to blackmail the prince now, but the essence of greed for money remains the same, and now this Li Chun sent him more than 2,000 taels of silver, how can this goods not be moved, and immediately agreed to enter the national prison for Li Chun's activities.

After the deal was reached, they became more familiar with each other, and the four of them drank happily with cups.

At this time, I saw Zhao Wenhua smile with a slight drunken smile: "It is said that Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu will choose to marry after the New Year, can the three brothers have the intention of holding the beauty?" ”

Hu Zongxian laughed and said: "I still have to participate in the imperial examination, it's better to marry the princess, Yan Deqiu has no intention of taking the imperial examination, but you can give it a try." ”

The princess of the Ming Dynasty is not worth anything, because she can't enter the court as an official after becoming a concubine, and she has to carefully serve the princess and grandmother at home on weekdays, and she doesn't even have the freedom to take concubines, so she doesn't want to marry a princess.

Yan Shifan naturally didn't want to marry the princess, and it was more uncomfortable not to take a concubine than to kill him, so he smiled and said: "Hu Zongxian, do you think that with my Yan Deqiu's respectful face, the princess will take a fancy to it?" After speaking, he glanced at Li Chun and continued: "If Brother Shouyi participates in the marriage election, there should be a great chance!" ”

Hu Zongxian stroked his palms and smiled: "That's right, with the handsomeness of Brother Shouyi, if he participates in the marriage election, maybe he can really hold a beauty!" ”

Li Chun smiled and didn't answer, Zhao Wenhua couldn't help asking, "Brother Shouyi doesn't really want to participate in the marriage election, right?" ”

"Why not? My Fair Lady, what a gentleman! Li Chuntan said with a smile.

Yan Shifan and Hu Zongxian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, Li Chun's family was just a low-level businessman, and if he could marry a princess, it would be a good opportunity to turn over and enter the aristocratic class.
