Chapter 175 confession of identity
Su Chen smiled awkwardly, gritted his teeth and met Xu Qingwan's eyes, nodded and said, "Yixuan, it is indeed the size of the font. However, I just wanted to live a peaceful life before, and I didn't want to show myself too much, which would only add trouble. Therefore, I didn't mention my words to outsiders, please don't blame me."
"Hmph!" Xu Qingwan snorted softly, still looking at Su Chen with complaints.
However, although some of the blame for not telling him the truth, deliberately concealing his identity and deceiving her countless thoughts, after all, he was still a little happy to find Su Yixuan himself.
Curiosity not only kills cats, but also kills people!
A talented woman like Xu Wanqing was in her youth in the 18th and 19th century. She was well-educated and well-written. She looked down on ordinary men. Even if the talented man Hou Shijie and others pursued her, she remained indifferent.
Until Su Yixuan's emergence, the popular long and short words and unique handwriting gave Xu Qingwan a deep impression. If they could meet and talk to each other at that time, Xu Qingwan might have been calm and would not take it seriously.
It is precisely because Su Yixuan's magical powers are visible but appearing and appearing in a faint sense of mystery that the talented woman always takes time to stare blankly after reading books at home every day, thinking about where this young man is? When will he appear? Where can I find him?
After thinking about someone for a long time, a contour of his own fantasy often appears in his mind, and he will gradually fall in love with the Su Yixuan in his heart. In fact, it is a bit different from the real him.
"Su Chen, whose courtesy name is Yixuan, haha, Mr. Su has written good words and created good words, and is the name of the number one talented man in Jiangzuo!" Xu Yonghua, Duke Ning, said endlessly.
Su Chen bowed and said modestly: "The Marquis has been too rewarded. I am just a little bit about writing poems and lyrics. I should not be given such a title!"
Xu Yonghua smiled and said, "This is not a talented name that I marquis gave you, but it is obtained through the poems you wrote yourself. People in Runzhou call it this way, so you can afford it!"
Su Chen was praised by Duke Ning Guo and felt embarrassed.
Xu Yonghua looked at the young Master Su, with beautiful eyebrows and handsome appearance. The more he looked at him, the more he felt like he liked him, and praised: "I really found it without any effort to find it. I met here today, which is a pure surprise. I will have a few drinks later, so I won't be drunk and I won't return!"
Xu Qingwan saw her father getting along so well with Su Chen, and she wanted to become a friend of age. She was a little ridiculous and a little resentment in her heart was also eliminated. She gave Su Chen a blank look and said, "Since you have difficulties and are unwilling to show off, I won't mention the fact that you concealed your identity in the past. You are not allowed to lie to others in the future."
The talented woman smiled and eliminated her grudges. The last sentence used the word "other" to fully show her daughter's voice, which was a bit inconsistent with the image of a talented and cold-hearted talented woman in the past.
Su Chen bowed and smiled and said, "I know everyone, so I will naturally not hide it anymore. However, I would like to ask a few people to keep it confidential and not to spread it."
"Why is this? Your talent is unparalleled. How many young people want to be known as the number one talent in Jiangzuo, but you are the only one who stays away from him." Duke Ning asked curiously.
"I like to lower my name!" Su Chen replied with a smile.
Several people were speechless when they heard this. Anyone who said they were low-key was not really low-key.
Han Xizai smiled and looked at Su Chen to deal with the Xu family's father and daughter, and laughed in his heart. He planned to push Su Chen out and expose him little by little, making him unable to avoid it. He had to deal with the troubles of many scholars and powerful men in a head-on manner, forcing him to improve his identity.
Otherwise, in many cases, if you have no imperial examination and Jinshi status, no official position, but have the reputation of talent and learning, and only work as a low-ranking businessman, and are dedicated to doing business, you will be despised by scholars and will also cause a lot of trouble.
Han Xizai's plan was to push Su Chen forward, pull him into his camp, and take him towards the imperial examination and the temple.
At this time, the maids in the house had already started serving food and pouring wine one after another, and the luncheon began.
Gao Yuan asked with a smile: "Young Master Su seems to have a close relationship with the Bai family, right? Are the soap and blue-white porcelain objects from your hands?"
Su Chen was not easy to hide because the other party was an envoy of the court. If you want to investigate, you will soon find out the answer. So you can confess yourself and gain favor. You nodded slightly and said, "Well, I usually like to investigate things and do some small research and inventions. I did develop the soap soap, and the blue and white porcelain was also made by the Bai family."
After he finished speaking, everyone present was more or less surprised.
Although Han Xizai, Gao Yuan and Han Pei had analyzed this answer in advance and introduced this answer, after he really heard that he was amazed at Su Chen's talent.
The first time Ning Guogong and his daughter heard about it, they were even more shocked.
In recent days, the Bai family has launched new products such as soap, flower dew, and blue-white porcelain. It has been exhibited in many large restaurants and brothels. The city of Runzhou is full of rumors, and it is rumored that the Bai family will rise and the Ding family will decline. But who would have thought that these things were developed by the talented Su Yixuan.
Xu Qingwan looked at Su Chen with strange eyes. She thought that his literary talent could only write poetry, a person with aloof personality, unsociable and uninclusive personality, but she did not expect that he actually liked investigating things and other things, such as strange skills!
"Young Master Su, why do you like those investigative things?" Xu Qingwan raised her own question.
Su Chen smiled faintly and said, "Poetry, songs and essays are about enjoying emotions and educating, while investigating things can promote social progress and allow more people to live a good life."
His words were very calm, but they had a very simple truth.
Han Xizai nodded secretly. He saw Su Chen's pragmatic point and thought about trying his best to bring him into the court, help him in his final career, and do something that benefits the people and the country for the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan!
Xu Cainu looked at Su Chen with her eyes. This was the first time she had heard someone say such things, saying so important to the study and skill that scholars despise, but first, they could not digest it and were slowly chewing on his meaning.
Xu Yonghua, Duke of Ningguo, shook his head and said, "The investigation of things is done by craftsmen. Building bridges and houses, dyeing cloth and burning porcelain. Although it is indeed helpful to the lives of the people, it is inferior after all. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it can promote social progress."
Su Chen raised a faint smile on his lips and explained: "Mr. Marquis, the research objects, soap, and blue-white porcelain we are studying are just the beginning. They can help the Bai family get out of the predicament and make a lot of money. At that time, the output will increase, and the Tang State can also sell foreign trade and sell more copper coins and materials to the Tang State. When the court is rich, the people will naturally have more life."
