The Su family's yard has been renovated, the fence has been rebuilt, and is higher than before. The gate has been replaced with a new vermilion gate, and even the plaque has been changed.
The word "Su Zhai" in vermilion, with dragons and phoenixes dancing in it, is quite impressive.
Su Yixin almost didn't recognize it. This was the Su family.
Su Yixin knocked on the door and went in. Su Qizhen happened to be at home as well. The house had hired two servants, one was busy in the kitchen and the other was sweeping the yard.
Su Yixin took a look and saw that the west side of the yard had nearly doubled in size, enclosing all the previously wasteland and building a house.
Now that the yard is so big, it is really hard for Father Su and Mother Su to clean it.
Now that they have servants to take care of them, their life will be much easier.
"Sister, look, this yard is quite impressive!"
"Not bad. Is your town's business on track?"
"Well, before I had no one to help me, I was able to open the Red Building on my own. Now that the Liu family is helping me, it will be much easier."
Speaking of the marriage between Su Qizhen and the Liu family.
Su Yixin was actually quite sad.
Su Qizhen is twenty-seven this year.
In this era where you can become a father at the age of fourteen or fifteen, Su Qizhen who is not married at such an old age is considered an old bachelor.
There has been no incident of the Red Mansion being haunted before. The business of the Red Mansion is good. With his status, he is definitely worthy of marrying a girl from a scholarly family, but a girl from an ordinary family.
But it was delayed until this moment.
In her memory, it seemed that Su's father and mother did not urge Su Qizhen.
I didn't think so before, but now that his marriage to Liu Wuyun is settled, Su Yixin thinks it's quite interesting when she thinks about it carefully.
"Brother, why did the Liu family agree to your marriage to Wuyun?"
Although Liu Shouqing has become an official, he was an official in Kyoto before. Liu Wushuang was unable to participate in the scientific examination due to physical reasons. Now the poison has been removed, and his body has improved a lot after several months of conditioning. Not to mention this year, taking the scientific examination next year will not be a problem.
Even if he fails once, with Liu Wushuang's talent and learning, he will definitely pass the high school test several times.
Furthermore, the Liu family now has children who are serving as officials. Even if they are not in important positions, they can still be considered an official family.
Liu Shouqing and the Chu family actually agreed.
In short, Su Qizhen, a person with no talent, was able to marry Liu Wuyun. He not only climbed high, but also became a Kunpeng and skyrocketed.
"Look at what you said. Your brother and I are a bit older. It was my first marriage, and I didn't have any bad habits. I'm pretty talented. Besides, I've promised the Liu family that I won't take concubines, so this marriage doesn't count. Bad."
Wow.
Not taking concubines.
Su Yixin really doesn't know this.
In this day and age, a man who promises not to take concubines is even more rare than a man who never cheated on his wife in previous lives.
It shows that there are still good men.
After lunch, I had a conversation with the elders before leaving.
The two came here on horseback. They did not go back directly to Wangjiacun. Instead, they rode to the town to visit Bai Yuannian and his wife.
"Girl Xin, I haven't been here for a long time. Last time you wrote a letter and said that you opened a branch in Dengfeng County. Auntie is really happy for you."
"Speaking of which, thank you auntie. No matter what request I made, you did it without saying a word. Otherwise, no matter how many ideas I have in my head, I won't be able to use them."
Su Yixin said this sincerely.
The colors and designs of many of the clothes she designed are difficult to make, and the dyeing of the fabric requires great skills, but the Bai family can complete it well and supply it exclusively. In fact, this is not profitable for the Bai family.
But the Bai family didn't complain at all.
"It's a mutually beneficial thing."
Luo Shi is not a ungrateful person: "The cost of clothing materials in your shop is small, but these are given to you at cost price. Even if we don't make money, we don't lose money. Besides, those who know the clothing materials in Yishangfang shop They are all supplied by our Bai family, and now they are rushing to cooperate with us! This is all your credit."
After saying this, Su Yixin took out a small jade piece dug out from the peach forest last night.
This piece is much smaller than the one given to Gu Qingjue as a birthday gift.
"Auntie, this is a first-year gift for Sishu. I've been too busy recently and couldn't catch up, so I asked my aunt to bring it to Sister Shurui for me."
Luo Shi took the jade pendant.
Eyes are sore, the Bai family has been prospering this year, and Shi Qian has already left for Kyoto in April to prepare for this year's imperial examination.
Many people are very bitter toward the Bai family.
It is said that the Bai family has benefited from Su Yixin, otherwise it would not be possible to develop so well.
By chance, Su Yixin followed Gu Qingjue to Dengfeng County and did not show up at the Bai family for half a year.
The Bai family is naturally not afraid of those rumors, but they can't bear the thought of someone deliberately stirring up trouble. In fact, the life of the Bai family is not as easy as what Su Yixin said just now.
Now that Su Yixin is back, she takes the time to visit the Bai family in person.
I also gave Shurui’s child a first-year gift.
Those who are watching the joke and say unpleasant things are not just a slap in the face.
After coming out of Bai's house, the two bought a lot of things in the town and rode horses to see Master Zhou and his wife.
It’s okay if I haven’t been back to Wangjiacun. I will come back in half a year and naturally I want to have a look. Master Zhou can be said to be Gu Qingjue’s first teacher, and his status in Gu Qingjue’s heart is different.
Master Zhou was very happy to see Gu Qingjue and Su Yixin coming.
The mistress hurriedly served them fruits and made hot tea before sitting down next to them.
"Zi Yuan, my teacher has heard about your performance in the academy. You are worthy of me for coming out here. As long as you have courage, you should show no mercy to those proud and complacent Xixia people."
Gu Qingjue smiled: "Master's teachings, Ziyuan will always remember them."
Gu Qingjue and Zhou Fuzi talked about some things about the academy, and then discussed some opinions. The government also mentioned a few words in a vague way.
The sun is setting, and the private school is over.
The two took Brother Xi home together.
After dinner, Gu Qingjue saw no one around and pulled Su Yixin into the room.
Su Yixin: "..."
This is not good!
Su Yixin coughed and said, "Zi Yuan, we are still young. Isn't it too early to do this? Besides, we haven't gotten married yet!"
Now it was Gu Qingjue's turn to be speechless: "..."
Does he seem to be such an impatient person?
"What are you thinking about!"
Gu Qingjue stretched out his hand and scratched Su Yixin's nose with his right index finger: "I just want to ask you, you haven't given me my birthday gift yet."
"I gave it to you!"
This cannot be wronged to her.
She clearly put the jade pendant on Gu Qingjue's desk and wrote a note next to it, saying it was a birthday gift for him.
"That jade pendant?"
"yes!"
Didn't you see it and ask her for it? This is wrong.
