The shopkeeper of the study was very happy. Although Su Yu often came to the shop to buy books, the little girl was dressed like a village girl. The shopkeeper didn't even know which family she belonged to, but seeing how tough Su Yu was, he still carried a girl when he went out. The maidservant said that she was a village girl, and even if she was beaten to death, he wouldn't believe it.
Wang Tingting's thoughts were not that far-reaching. She was beaten hard in the face, and she got on the carriage and went back to her house. When she went back, she cried to her mother. Mrs. Wang hated to see her little daughter being wronged and being in her own home. Crying in front of the master.
"Master, Ting'er is the daughter of our Wang family. When did it become a village girl's turn to bully her? She really doesn't take our Wang family seriously."
Mrs. Wang knows her master's temper best. If you make a big fuss with him, it may be counterproductive. Just like she is now, with tears in her eyes, and she said these words softly, the master will take it to heart. superior.
"Okay, I'll let the butler handle it."
After sending away his wife, Wang Xing called the housekeeper.
Mr. Wang is not an ignorant woman. He first asked the housekeeper to send people to inquire. At night, the people sent by the housekeeper to inquire came back. When the housekeeper saw it, he came to report back.
"Master, the person we just sent to inquire is back. The girl's surname is Su. She moved to Yujia Village two years ago. The Su family is really not simple. All the ducks they raise now are sold to Taihe House, and shopkeeper Niu also I have been to the Su family several times in person. Now the entire Yujia Village is raising ducks. The Su family has also opened a shop in the town. The master should know that the shop is called a farm shop. The business is not bad, and the people are very helpful. I often go to the farm shop to buy some food, and I heard that Gang Leader Liang likes to eat the bacon made by his family."
Wang Xing also didn't expect that the small Su family would actually involve the two largest forces in Xinglin Town. If he listened to his wife's words during the day and sent people directly to the Su family, there would probably be a lot of trouble later.
"That's it."
"Yes, sir."
As a businessman, if you can't bend your waist, you won't be able to do much business. Besides, it's just a conflict between the youngest daughter. The housekeeper is not surprised at all by his master's decision.
Wang Xing thought for a while and went to the backyard. Wang Tingting had been waiting for news in the main courtyard. If she couldn't see the fate of that bitch, she wouldn't be able to sleep at all tonight. Thinking about the arrogance of that bitch today, she couldn't even eat lunch. Can't eat.
"Madam, the master is here."
As soon as they heard that the master was coming, the expressions on the mother and daughter's faces immediately changed, completely losing their previous ferocious look.
"Master, you haven't had dinner yet, right?"
"Well, let the servants pass the food around."
"What are you doing, daddy? I'm almost hungry."
Wang Tingting said, sticking out her tongue coquettishly.
"Ting'er has been wronged today."
When Wang Tingting heard this, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Ting'er is not wronged."
"The girl you met today is named Su. Next time you meet her on the street, hide away so as not to suffer a loss. When you go to the accountant tomorrow to pay two hundred taels of silver, you can buy whatever you want."
Wang Tingting was so shocked that she looked up and stared at her father. She realized that she had gone too far and immediately changed back to her usual appearance.
"My daughter knows."
Although Wang Xing only had one legitimate daughter, he had several concubines, and one of them was prettier than Wang Tingting. The merchant family did not pay much attention to the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines. Wang Tingting was so favored by her father because she was usually well-behaved. sensible.
"Master, where did the girl named Su come from?"
Normally, if his precious daughter was wronged outside, the master would not take it lightly with such a word.
"The Su family has business dealings with Taihe House, and people from the Chong Gang often go to his shop to buy things."
Mrs. Wang is smart. If she wasn't smart, she wouldn't be able to secure her position as the head wife in the backyard.
The family of three had a harmonious dinner, and Wang Tingting also went back to her courtyard to rest, while Wang Xing naturally stayed in the main courtyard.
Wang Tingting returned to her courtyard. After bathing and changing clothes, her personal maid sent everyone out of the room. She stepped forward without any hesitation, rolled up her right sleeve and stretched it out to her young lady. Wang Tingting's eyes were red, and she shouted the word "bitch" in her mouth. She kept pinching the maid's arm with both hands. The maid gritted her teeth and endured without making a sound. However, just looking at the maid's arms covered with bruises, she knew that this was the case. This is not the first time.
After Wang Tingting was out of breath, she fell asleep under the care of the maid. The maid habitually took out the medicinal oil from her arms, applied it evenly on her arms, and wrapped her arms tightly with fine cotton cloth to prevent the smell of the medicinal oil. shed. Before the young lady woke up the next morning, she quickly washed the medicated oil off her arms. After doing all this, he made a bunk on the ground and fell asleep.
The master and the servant went home after shopping. No one mentioned what happened in the study at home, and they didn't take it seriously. Bai Mo felt that if someone came to the door, she would just call them back. Su Yu thought that the Wang family would not come to her door. As she expected, no one came to her door three days later.
This happened when they first came to Yujia Village. Su Yu pinched her nose and recognized it, but now it's not her fault. She can walk sideways in Xinglin Town.
The father and daughter put a lot of thought into preparing the exam basket for their eldest brother. Su Yu prepared pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and other materials needed for the exam. He was afraid that he would not understand clearly, so he drew a drawing with a lever. Take the test box and let your dad watch it.
Su Laoer looked at the drawings drawn by his daughter and already had a rough idea in his mind. It was easy to make it. In one day, a test box with a pull rod was ready. The test box was not big and was divided into two parts: upper and lower. Layers, put pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the upper layer, and some food on the lower layer. The exam takes a whole day, so it's impossible not to eat anything. Under the test box, Su Yu asked his father to install two wooden wheels. When the road is difficult, he can carry it on his back, and when the road is easy, he can pull it, which can save a lot of energy.
When Su Sheng came back from school in the evening, Su Yu pulled him to the study room.
"Brother, look, this is a picture I drew by myself. Do you like the test box that daddy made for you? There is a pole on top that can be pulled out and put back. There are two wheels underneath. Put it sideways like this. You can just pull it along, and if the road is difficult, there are two straps here so you can carry it on your back."
Su Sheng tried it as Su Yu said and found it very convenient.
"I love so much."
"As long as you like it. You will go to the county town to take the exam in two days. Ask Uncle Wang to accompany you then. He has great skills, so we can rest assured that he will accompany you. Also, here are the twenty taels of silver. You can keep it. Here we are. The county can buy whatever it wants.”
Su Sheng now also knows that almost all the money at home is kept by his sister, and he will accept it if it is given to him. They are all part of the family, and there is no need to say any kind words.
