Chapter 437 Su Dongpo (Lu Yi Version) 2
Although Su Shi felt that it was not good to use his wife's dowry, he did not refuse it because it was better to have more money when he was away from home.
When Changran was at Wang's house, he gave advice to Wang's mother and helped her run the dowry shop. When she got married, Wang's mother gave her a generous amount of money as a dowry.
After adapting to this world, he arranged for a puppet to be by his side. When he got married, he also came to the Su family as a dowry. Chang Ran also planned to arrange another puppet outside to be in charge of his own shop in the future.
After breakfast, everyone watched the father and his two sons leave, feeling reluctant to let them go.
The reason why Su's father required the two brothers to take part in this imperial examination was because the chief examiner was Ouyang Xiu.
In the past, the examiners were all from the Imperial College, and the admitted students were basically from the Imperial College. The emperor chose Ouyang Xiu this time because he wanted to abolish the Imperial College and reform the literary style.
If they fail to seize this opportunity, and if the literary style does not flourish in the future, the two brothers will be like their father Su, who was rejected by the Imperial College and will have no chance to serve the country for the rest of their lives.
Two months later, it was discovered that Chang Ran was pregnant, and the Su family was very happy.
Now Sister Su also lives in the mansion. After Chang Ran and Su Shi got engaged, all the members of the Cheng family died unexpectedly. Sister Su returned to the Su Mansion alone.
While she was resting at home and taking care of her pregnancy, she checked on Su Shi's imperial examination progress through the little puppet.
Chang Ran was very nervous when he saw that Su Shi was criticized by the Imperial College for fabricating allusions in the imperial examination. Fortunately, he knew the plot in advance, otherwise he would have been scared.
According to the plot, there will be more such things in the future, so we have to learn to get used to it. As long as it does not cause himself and his children and grandchildren to be killed, Changran will not interfere.
Now, Su Shi was arrested by the Censorate again because of his fierce words in the palace examination essay. However, in the end, with the help of Ouyang Xiu, he was released by the emperor and promoted to the third-rank Hanlin scholar.
Among the candidates admitted to the imperial examination this time, no one was from the Imperial Academy. Su Shi and his group of new Jinshi all belonged to Ouyang Xiu's school. Su Shi was also a leader, so he was naturally targeted. Not to mention that he himself was not cautious in his actions.
With Chang Ran around, Su's mother did not die as per the plot, and the two brothers did not need to come back to observe the three-year mourning period.
After Su Che was dismissed from his post, the father and his two sons returned to Meizhou to worship their ancestors.
When Su Shi came back and saw Chang Ran's belly, he knew he was going to be a father and was very excited.
After offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the family came to Bian Jing, and Sister Su and her cousin also went with them.
After knowing that both brothers had passed the exam, Su's mother sent money to Bianjing in advance. The house had been bought. Although it was not particularly big, it was enough for living.
After arriving in Bian Jing, the puppets began to purchase shops outside, and Zhuangzi was responsible for their management.
Chang Ran gave birth to her eldest son Su Mai not long after. Su's mother and elder sister Su's cousin all helped take care of him, which made Chang Ran feel much more relaxed.
When Su Shi was in the Hanlin Academy, he worked with Sima Qian on history, and they had a pretty good relationship.
Three years later, Su Shi and his fellow Jinshi were sent away one after another by the Imperial College.
Su Che was appointed as the chief clerk of Changfu County. This time, all his family members were present, so Su Che did not need to stay with his father to take care of him, so he went to take up the post.
Su Che's eldest son, Su Chi, was only one year old. Because he was young and still needed his mother's care, he left with the couple.
Su Xun, Su's father, was granted special permission by the emperor to not take the examination and to go to the Ministry of Rites to compile the Taichang Yinge Li. Su's father also accepted the position.
