When he came, Su Wan specifically told him that there was no need to eat or anything else. Food and drink were the easiest to manipulate and the easiest to succeed. It was written like this in the storybook.
Su Chen now listens to Su Wan the most, and what she says is what she says.
Su Jing was really grateful to his good brother, and was very pleased to be able to help him relieve his worries in time.
"We can send a servant to pick up Mrs. Su and have dinner with her at home!" The Zhao family refused to give up this opportunity and missed this time. When Su Jing really became a Jinshi, they were not worthy.
By then, it's too late.
Su Jing could hardly hold on to her smile and almost broke her guard. It was true that Sima Zhao's intentions were known to all passers-by.
If he can't see it now, then he doesn't have the destiny to be a prostitute.
"Mrs. Zhao kindly accepted the offer, but Su Jing didn't want to bother her any more, so she asked Haihan to take her leave!"
Never mind him, leave first, don’t worry about anything else.
The two brothers left the Zhao Mansion as if they were running away, and they were unstoppable.
As soon as they left, Zhao Xiyun showed her true colors and started throwing things and smashing bowls:
"Dad, hurry up and think of a way. Didn't you say you wanted to bring Brother Jing and me together? Look at the way he refused me thousands of miles away. It's the New Year's Eve soon. In a few days, if he goes to Kyoto , I'm afraid I'll never be able to catch up with him." Zhao Xiyun was crying and fussing.
Zhao Tongde was not sick at first, but she was about to make him sick.
Mrs. Zhao felt distressed and helped her wipe her tears and coaxed her:
"My dear Yun'er, don't be anxious. Let your father think about it. Su Jing is a child with good looks and good writing skills. Several masters in the courtyard have predicted that he will be a Jinshi in the future. With such a success, Son-in-law Long Kuai, your father is not willing to throw it away!"
This scholarly family is also divided into three, six or nine grades. If you become an official's family member, you will be a superior scholarly family. Jinshi can enter the court, but this person can only pick up and drop in small places and become a ninth grader. It's just a sesame official, but how can there be so many missed picks?
Moreover, the ninth-rank official was too young and not prestigious enough, so Kyoto was a good place. In the early years, Zhao Tongde tried his best to buy a county magistrate. However, the salary was so pitiful that it was not enough to support a family. Soon he resigned and came to Qinghe County to set up a school.
"But look at him, he treats me like a scourge. Will he come again next time?" Zhao Xiyun is serious.
"Yun'er, don't be anxious, I've already considered it in my mind!" Zhao Tongde rolled his eyes and took it into consideration.
…
When Su Jing left the Zhao Mansion, she had a straight face. Su Chen looked at him and smiled:
"Brother, I didn't expect that there is a girl who likes you so much?"
"Are you still making fun of me? Third brother, you are bad at it now." Su Jing hit him on the shoulder.
Su Chen just laughed and didn't explain any more. The two brothers went to the bank to pick up Su's mother. She had already exchanged all the copper coins for silver notes, leaving only some broken silver on her body.
Of Su Yun's two hundred taels, 30 taels were used for the renovation and expansion of the new house after the new year. Su Wan's fifty taels were left untouched by hers, and Su Jing's one hundred taels could not be touched.
Last month, the monthly balance of the mine was settled. The couple had a total of ten taels of silver. Plus the remaining money, it was enough for the family's daily expenses.
I bought Su Wan fabrics with better material and planned to sew a few more menstrual belts for her. I also bought a lot of cotton. I just need to stuff a little into the menstrual belt each time. It is better than using plant ash.
Mother Su felt that since the family was no longer in a tight situation, the things she gave her daughter should be more sophisticated and good for her health.
I bought extra brown sugar for her so that she could drink it with water.
I bought some melon seeds, peanuts, dried fruits, and firecrackers, and I also have to prepare mutton and fish. I want to have a warm new year this year.
Su Wan waited at home for most of the day, but she finally waited for them to come back. When she saw her eldest brother also came back, she felt relieved.
However, the eldest brother didn't seem too happy. When he came back, he locked himself in his room and read a book.
Mother Su taught Su Wan how to make a menstrual belt by herself, and she also learned it seriously. After finishing it, she asked her third brother what happened in the college today.
Su Chen told Su Wan everything he saw and heard today word for word. Su Wan's brows were so strong that they could kill mosquitoes.
She thought to herself, the eldest brother is really a bad guy. He Guerlain asked himself to be his concubine before, and Zhao Xiyun took care of herself later. Neither of them are good birds.
Now she knew why her eldest brother was unhappy. It was probably due to paralysis.
Su Wan originally thought that this matter should have come to an end. As long as the eldest brother survived the new year safely and went on the road to take the exam, it would be equivalent to getting rid of Zhao Xiyun. From now on, he would no longer have the trouble of being restless at home.
Unexpectedly, seeing that there were only three days left before the Chinese New Year, one of the eldest brother's classmates suddenly came to see him.
At first, everyone really didn't think much about it, but fortunately they entertained him, and Su Jing chatted happily with him in the yard.
This scholar surnamed Zhou had a gentle and delicate appearance. After having lunch at Su's house, he stayed for a while. When he was about to leave, it was Su Jing who left with him.
Su Wan went to take a nap and didn't know about this. He only knew that when he woke up, his elder brother was gone.
Su Wan quickly found Su's mother and asked her what was going on:
"Mom, where is my eldest brother?"
Mother Su was feeding the chickens, so she told her:
"Zhou Xiucai invited him to have a drink. He said that the classmates were about to leave after seeing each other, so they arranged a banquet in the county to have a drink together. Your eldest brother has worked hard in studying, so it's time to relax with his classmates."
"Just a classmate having a drink together?"
"Is it possible that among these big men, a girl can get in?" Su's mother joked.
Also, in ancient times, these virtual etiquettes were the most valued. Although there is no such thing as seven-year-olds sitting on different seats, it is definitely not allowed when a woman appears among men and they are not a family.
Despite this, Su Wan was still a little worried, but the third brother was not at home at the moment.
The plot is uncertain. As long as the time has not come yet, no matter what, it may lead to the same ending. Changing the plot means changing the ending of the characters. Changing fate against the will of God is never that simple.
When the third brother comes back, I have to trouble him to go there and guard Su Jing. If he gets drunk, he will bring him back directly.
Su Chen couldn't rest during the day and went hunting in the mountains again. It was already dusk when he came back, and Su Wan urged him to pick up Su Jing.
Su Chen was also afraid that something would happen, so he didn't dare to delay. After grabbing a few mouthfuls of rice, he hurried to the county.
But I didn't expect that someone on Su Jing's side had been protecting her secretly for a long time, and nothing would happen.
