"Dad, there's nothing interesting in this field. I'll take you to visit the pig farm in the village."
"Okay, let's go shopping."
The two came to the pig farm. It was noon and the weather was getting colder. The pig house did not need to be cleaned every day. The pig manure only needed to be cleaned every day.
At this time, there were two people, Old Man Jin and Jin Da. Each of them had a shovel in his hand. When he saw pig excrement in any pen, he went in and shoveled it out. Seeing Su Yu bringing a middle-aged man to the pig farm, the two of them quickly guessed the identity of Su Lao Er.
"Dad, this is Grandpa Jin, and this is Uncle Dayou. They are both from Jinjia Village."
"I've heard my daughter mention you a long time ago. When my daughter came to Jinjia Village, my daughter and I didn't even come with her. I want to thank you for taking care of her."
The two of them waved their hands hurriedly.
"No matter what, we have to thank Miss Su. If it weren't for Miss Su, our Jinjia Village wouldn't be where we are today."
The two of them praised their daughter so much, Su Laoer was naturally happy to hear it.
"You guys go about your business, I'll show my dad around."
"OK."
The two of them didn't follow. One of them carried a basket and went to the mountain to get pigweed. Fortunately, the piglets ate less in winter, otherwise Su Yu would have had a headache where to get so much pigweed.
The piglets were lying lazily in the pen. When they felt a stranger approaching, they were frightened and ran around in the pen.
"Girl, these pigs are really energetic."
"Of course. The two of them take good care of her. They clean the pig pens countless times a day."
Next, Su Laoer was attracted by the food truck and tried to push it a few times.
"Daughter, who did this? It works pretty well."
"It was made by the carpenter in the village, but I drew the pictures for him."
Su Laoer gave a thumbs up to his daughter.
Su Yu also raised his little chin proudly.
"Can I do it?"
"That is, my daughter is the most capable and powerful."
The father and daughter returned home after visiting the pig farm. It was not until this moment that Su Lao Er remembered to ask Yu Zheng.
"Last month you wrote in your letter that Yu Zheng was in Kyoto. What's going on?"
Su Yu complained to her father in her heart about how much she felt. When she told her father about the one hundred thousand taels earlier, she mentioned that Yu Zheng had helped a lot, but her father only remembered the one hundred thousand taels given by the emperor. , Yu Zheng was forgotten in the corner, and only now did he remember to ask.
"The one in my hometown was a stand-in. He has been gone for more than a year. This time when we came to Kyoto City, the number one scholar was parading through the streets. He was sitting on a tall horse and even scared me. I waited until I confirmed with others again and again that it was really him. He and I don’t believe that kid won the top prize.”
In Su Lao Er's heart, studying to become an official is more difficult than reaching the sky. Now Su Lao Er doesn't think so in his heart. His mediocre son can be admitted as a scholar. He has never seen a boy from the Yu family who has taken a book. He was able to pass the first prize examination. It seems that it is not difficult to become an official in the Zhou Dynasty.
Su Yu didn't know what her father was thinking. If she wanted to know, she would have to complain. Let's not talk about Yu Zheng. Her eldest brother worked so hard in studying and she was there to supervise him. He couldn't even be admitted as a scholar in his previous life. All for nothing.
At the workshop, Mrs. Lian came and greeted the women in the village one by one, and then they started working together. She stayed in each room for half an hour. The women who came to work had to sigh with emotion. The craftsmanship is really passed down from our ancestors. It seems that the Lian family does not favor boys over girls. When the workshop first started, they were taught by Miss Su step by step. This means that this skill of the Su family has also been passed on to Miss Su. Having such a skill is close to her. , Miss Su will not be sad no matter where she gets married.
If they hadn't known that Su Yu had a fiancé who was the number one scholar, and that his eldest brother was still studying at the Imperial College, all the women in the village would have wanted to introduce her to their relatives or their sons, but in their hearts, Su Yu was like a flower on the high mountain. It's not something people like them can imagine.
"Mom, there is nothing going on at home now. You and dad have just arrived in Kyoto. You must not have even been to the city on the day you arrived and just came to Jinjia Village. I will take you to visit the city tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go shopping."
Neither husband nor wife had any objections. Kyoto was where the emperor lived, so of course he had to go and take a good look when he came.
With the consent of both of them, Su Yu arranged things at home. Bai Mo followed him early in the morning, and Wang Gang drove a carriage to Kyoto City. First, today's portion of brine was delivered to the Imperial College, and then the family of three went shopping.
While going shopping today, Su Yu dressed up for the rare occasion and put on light makeup, which made the already beautiful Su Yu even more beautiful. The men passing by couldn't help but look over.
Su Laoer was very unhappy with the way others looked at his daughter, but they just looked at her and did nothing else. He couldn't get angry, so he had to let his daughter walk beside him. Su Yu didn't know his father's little thoughts. A few people ate a bowl of wontons at a nearby stall, and then went shopping with them.
"Mom, what do you want to buy?"
"Mom, there's nothing to buy. Yu'er can buy whatever he wants."
"How about we go take a look at the fabrics in Kyoto City. I heard that the fashionable styles in Xingyang Mansion are all passed down from Kyoto. Let's go pick some and make two new clothes later."
Mrs. Lian thought that her daughter had been in Kyoto for two months, and her clothes were still those brought from Yujia Village. Ms. Lian felt a little sorry for her daughter. Her daughter asked to buy fabrics, and Ms. Lian agreed without thinking. .
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Seeing a cloth shop not far ahead, which seemed to be quite open, Su Yu took his mother and entered the cloth shop. In addition to Wang Gang, who was guarding the carriage, Bai Mo also followed in.
When the cloth shop clerk saw how many people were dressed, he guessed that they were from the countryside, but he also went to greet them.
"Madam, you want to buy something. Our shop has everything."
"Man, what are the fashionable fabrics in the city this year? Please take us to see them."
"This way, please."
The clerk led several people to a row of shelves.
"These are all new styles that our boss just brought over from Jiangnan this month, and there are a lot of people in Kyoto coming to buy them during this period. Based on my experience in previous years, these styles will definitely be popular this year."
The row of shelves in front of him were filled with fine cotton cloth, and there were a few pieces of brocade on the side. The prints and colors on the cloth were okay. Su Yu didn't forget the white moss behind him as he picked up the cloth.
"Bai Mo, see if there's anything you like. If you like it, I'll buy it for you."
"Thank you, girl."
Bai Mo had been hanging out with Su Yu for a long time, and knew that his girl didn't care about it, so she picked it up herself.
The guy's attitude has changed a bit. Being able to be so kind to the servants around him shows that the family in front of him is kind-hearted.
"Mom, what do you think of this color?"
Su Yu held a piece of cloth and gestured on her body. At this moment, mother and daughter walked in from the door. Behind them were four maids and a nanny. It seemed that they were of high status.
