Hearing what Su Jing said, Su Wan felt a little relieved for some reason.
Her eldest brother is indeed a rare talent. He thinks more about the people and cares about the country and the people. Only when he becomes an official can he truly benefit the people.
"Brother looks at things with a long-term vision and a delicate mind. He always considers the people. If there were more officials like you, there would be fewer suffering people in this world."
"Wan Wan thinks too highly of me. If you can't even pass the imperial examination, what's the use of having ambition?" Su Jing is still not confident enough. After all, there are too many capable people in the world. Can he be ranked high? ?
"Brother, I can definitely do it. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. You are just a weak person. There are opportunities. Gold will shine wherever it is. Although the pearl is covered with dust for a while, the fact that it is a treasure cannot be changed. It only waits for someone with a discerning eye to recognize the pearl. That’s all.”
I learned this from Jiang Yu, and now it's just right to use it to comfort Su Jing.
Only Su Wan could comfort him like this. Others encouraged him, but in the end they couldn't give him the correct guidance.
"Thanks to Wan Wan who always comforts me, I can feel a little more at ease in my heart."
He is now a student waiting for the college entrance examination. The turning point in his life has come, and it is time to decide whether his future road will be broad or narrow. Su Wan can understand his mood, so he thought of taking him to the state capital to see the lantern festival. Take it easy and relax.
…
Early the next morning, the carriage arranged by Jiang Yu arrived at the door of Su's house early.
The family members came out to take a look, what a nice, three luxurious carriages, all with two horses and a coachman.
They were all strong young men in their early twenties, sitting there, unsmiling and very serious.
The first two carriages were equipped with stoves and charcoal fires burning inside. The carriages were still slower than horses running alone because they had to carry heavy loads. It also took three hours to get from here to the state capital.
For the sake of stability, the speed does not need to be too fast.
Last time, Su Chen rode the best horse and it took more than two hours to reach the state capital at high speed.
The carriage at the end was a little more ordinary, because it was used to carry Shaqima. Su Wan specifically asked Jiang Yu to rent one with a roof for fear of bad weather.
"How is it, are you all satisfied?" Jiang Yuxiao was gentle, as if he was begging for praise.
"Are you sure that this is a carriage that can be rented for only three taels of silver?" Su Wan was a little doubtful.
He came back and said it was three taels, so Su Wan gave him three taels. At that time, she thought it was quite cheap. After all, it was a round trip rental.
Now it seems that with three carriages and six horses, when we get to the state capital, the feed for the horses is almost three taels. Doesn’t the boss make money?
"Yes!" Jiang Yu answered directly.
Su Wan knew that this guy was using his personal power, but he didn't make it real, it was a bit too fake.
"Are you not satisfied?" Jiang Yuwei looked at him with a frown, his expression slightly aggrieved.
"Satisfied, why are you dissatisfied? It's such a good deal, we're taking advantage of it!" Su Wan held her mother's arm and smiled, cheering him on.
"Yes, this carriage looks more majestic than those from the Yuanwai's family." Confirmation from Su's mother.
To be honest, the landowners and wealthy businessmen in Qinghe County really don't have such specifications. The carriages used for daily travel need to be pulled by two horses.
"Wow, this is my first time riding a carriage!"
Su Yun looked worthless and couldn't wait to get into the carriage.
Except for him, the other brothers were quite calm and just watched from outside.
"Okay, hurry up and load everything into the carriage. The state capital is a long way away, so don't delay. Go to the city early to find a good place to stay."
Su Wan gave the order and the brothers all started to move.
Su Wan has decided that the price of Shaqima will be increased when it arrives in the state capital. It will be eighteen cents a piece, and a total of 530 copies will be made. The fraction will be used for free tasting, and after selling out, you will get ninety taels.
Including Su Yun's current savings, a total of two hundred taels of silver is more than enough to open a small restaurant. It can also be made larger than the budget, and even a few dozen taels can be used to build a house.
Su Wan, Su's father, Su's mother, the eldest brother and Jiang Yu were in a carriage, and the other four brothers were in the second one.
It was warm inside the carriage. It was also the first time for Su Wan to ride in a carriage. He kept opening the curtain and looking outside. He found it very interesting.
Dressed like a little girl, her soul also became like a little girl.
Jiang Yu sat opposite her, looking at her excitement, he couldn't help but smile.
He didn't come back to his senses until Su Jing next to him called him.
"Ayu, I have something to ask you!"
"Okay, what do you want to ask, Brother Su?" Jiang Yu was also happy to answer.
"Aren't I going to Beijing to take the exam? I will need to find a place to stay in Kyoto by then. You people from the capital must be familiar with Kyoto. Do you know where there is a clean and affordable house for long-term rent?" Su Jing told her truthfully. need.
When Su Wan heard the sound, he also turned his attention away and listened carefully to what they were saying.
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment:
"This is easy to handle. I have a small courtyard in the capital. It's not big, but it's elegant and quiet. It's also close to Gongyuan. It's very suitable for Brother Su to prepare for the exam. There are only old servants who have been in their sixtieth year to take care of the courtyard. I can send a message to Kyoto and say hello to him. After you go, just go and live in my small courtyard, and my old servant can also take care of your food and daily life."
"Ayu, I don't need anyone to take care of me. You just need to rent me a room. Since you are the owner of the yard, just negotiate a fair rent with me."
Su Jing would never take advantage of him in vain. He just didn't want to waste time looking for a place to live, so he asked Jiang Yu.
"We are so familiar, and I still charge you rent. Isn't it unfair? The Su family has been kind to me, and I'm afraid I won't have the chance to repay it. It's just a trivial matter, so why talk about money?" Jiang Yu didn't want to ask for it either. Rent, this is difficult.
"I have to give it to you. If Ayu insists on doing this, I will have to find another place to go."
Su Jing just said it to death and forced Jiang Yu to collect the money, but Jiang Yu was helpless.
"Then I'll charge you five taels of silver a month and rent the entire courtyard to you. I can't give in anymore. If I give in any more, I'll be really unkind and unjust."
Five taels of silver a month was just within Su Jing's budget.
Renting a courtyard in Qinghe County, a larger one, costs three taels a month. In a place like Kyoto, five taels a month for a small courtyard is almost the same price. Jiang Yu should have given him a fair price. .
"Okay, thank you Ayu for taking care of me!" Su Jing cupped her fists at him.
"Brother, you are too polite. Since you treat me as a family member, I don't care what you say."
When he called him brother, Su Wan looked at him a little doubtfully. He had just returned the favor to Brother Su, so why did he change his words all of a sudden?
However, Su Jing didn't notice anything was wrong at all. He was still immersed in the joy of settling down his residence before arriving in Kyoto.
