Chapter 140 Find a way for two people

Su Ruojin asked unwillingly, "Do you want to gamble? Do you want to smoke Five Stone Powder?"

Hua Ping looked at the young lady with difficulty, "I was quite close to your brother-in-law yesterday. Why do you expect him to be all five poisons today?"

She seemed not to have heard Hua Ping's sarcasm, and said to herself: "You are rich and beautiful, and so perfect, you don't look like a real person!"

“Is it still a ghost?”

He has no bad habits, can write and draw, and is a proper Jiangnan talent. Whether it is the Su family's family background or Su Yanzu's own ability, there is no need to squeeze into the Imperial Academy to take the gilding examination.

Su Ruojin thought of the three-in and three-out compound that the Su family bought in the capital. The old couple moved thousands of miles from Pingjiang Prefecture to the capital. According to common sense, even if the Su family's business reaches the capital, Su Dekai can go to the capital. But his wife will definitely not come with him. There are many examples in history of businessmen going out to do business and marrying a concubine wherever they go. But Su Dekai did not. Instead, he brought his old wife and son to the capital. Could it be that Did he really break the rules because his son won the imperial examination and won the imperial examination?

“What business does my grandfather have in the capital?”

Hua Ping raised his eyebrows and his eyes were full of meaning, "The Su family is mainly engaged in grain and silk business. They have established their business in the capital a few years ago and the business is not bad."

A few years ago…

Su Ruojin took a deep breath, that was when Su Yanli was in poverty.

 Su Ruojin asked Mao Ya to give Hua Ping the reward she had prepared.

Huaping stopped, "I'll give you a winter's supply of soup."

Su Ruojin:…

“What are you looking at?” Hua Ping felt guilty and deliberately left the Su family with his hands behind his back.

Su Ruojin looked up at the sky, no matter what, living her own life is the right thing to do. In the middle of the month, she went to the store to check the accounts and see if there were any new products.

Taking Mao Ya with her, Su Ruojin went out to the shop. Su Sanlang wanted to follow, but was stopped by Cheng Yingzhen, "When my brother was your age, he had memorized the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic by heart. That's why you memorized the first few sentences and were not allowed to go out."

Su Sanlang was acting rogue and wanted to follow him out. Cheng Yingzhen turned around and took the cane. The little guy was so frightened that he ran towards the study. Su Ruojin snickered and left the house.

When we arrived at the shop, the breakfast business was not over yet. Su Ruojin was not full at home, so she ordered two things, both to fill her stomach and to check the taste. It was not bad. She also thought about what would be better. Seeing the sparse guests in the main hall, Think of something.

A preserved egg and lean meat porridge and a special small noodle are all breakfasts that guests can sit in the main hall to eat. I plan to teach Mother Dong this afternoon.

After breakfast, we went to the back hall again. The people doing the evening business had already gotten up and were skewering vegetables.

Su Ruojin paid special attention to Shi Xiaoliu. In less than a month, the malnourished Shi Xiaoliu not only grew a circle, but his whole person also became lively and shiny, as if he was a different person.

When he saw his young master coming, he quickly stood up and saluted with his walking stick.

“You are busy with your business.”

Shi Xiaoliu was willing and sincerely bowed to his little boss. His face was full of gratitude, as if he had been reborn.

“Work hard and save money to get a wife.”

Shi Xiaoliu: ...My dear boss, are you really eight years old? How do you sound like an eighty-year-old lady?

Su Ruojin also laughed out loud when Shi Xiaoliu saw it, "Starting from May, it will be 300 yuan per month. If you perform well, you can add more."

"Thank you, my boss... Thank you, my boss..." After trying it for a month, Shi Xiaoliu was very worried. He was afraid that he would eat too much and make his host unhappy, so he would be the last one to eat every time and fill the smallest amount. But every time, Dong's mother would She served him two large bowls and asked him to eat them all. She said, "Only when you are full can you have the strength to work."

As a result, in less than a month, he had grown a ring of flesh, and no bones could be seen poking through the skin of his arms and legs.

"Do a good job." Su Ruojin nodded and went to the accounting office. She was afraid that if she continued to look at it, she would no longer be able to suppress the vanity of raising employees to be fat and white. She smiled secretly, seeing them become happy and happy, she felt very happy too!

Sitting at the accounting table, Su Ruojin used to pull Sister Mao Ya to sit next to her, "Learn from me."

The master and servant sat quietly calculating accounts until Mother Dong came over to call for dinner.

“How about I bring the food to the cashier’s office and you two can eat in peace?”

Su Ruojin shook her head. The shop was small and they were all close friends, so she still went out to eat with everyone and keep in touch.

Entering the main hall, he found Su Yanzu sitting in the first row, and Er Shi was telling him that there was no Chinese food business in the store.

“Someone invited me to eat.”

Su Ruojin rolled her eyes at him and said, "What is Su Ruojin doing here at noon?"

“Let me find a way with you and make a living.”

Su Ruojin responded reflexively: "What can I, a little lady, do?"

“Then I can only bother your daddy.”

"you…"

In fact, no matter whether Su Yanli spoke to Master Fan or Zhao Lan, with Su Yanzu's current talent, he could still get into the Imperial College. Su Ruojin felt that he didn't enter the Imperial College just to take the imperial examination.

Su Yanzu smiled so hard that he deserved to be beaten. Su Ruojin sat opposite him and asked Mother Dong to serve two work meals.

The two uncles and nephews had a tacit understanding. They lowered their heads and worked on the food first. After they had eaten and drank enough, they began to talk slowly and leisurely.

“Really not helpful?”

Su Ruojin yelled: "You can get into the Imperial College just by writing your intentions like a peach forest, so why bother looking for my father."

“Really?” Su Yanzu really touched his smooth chin and thought seriously.

Su Ruojin: ...What you want is your business and has nothing to do with me anyway.

After thinking about it, Su Yanzu looked at his little niece and said, "Let your father..."

"no way."

“I haven’t finished speaking yet, how do you know what I’m going to say?”

"Didn't you just ask my father to recommend your painting to the priest or the director? I didn't even think about it. Why? I can reply to you directly. What your father and mother did is not authentic. My father is not in the mood to help you. Pay this favor.”

Su Yanzu smiled helplessly again, "Ajin, you are so straightforwardly rebellious, you will be expelled from the clan."

For the Dayin Dynasty, where filial piety was paramount, no matter what your parents did to you, they were always your parents. Besides, Su Dekai did support Su Yanli until he was twenty years old, and allowed him to go to school all the way, from a scholar to a Jinshi. This is an indelible gift of upbringing.

As for Su Yanli’s spiritual needs in his family of origin, let alone this era, even more than a thousand years later, many parents cannot take good care of their children’s inner world.

Although Su Yanli never said anything about Su's father and aunt in front of his family, Su Ruojin looked at these people and saw that they had no feelings. No matter why Su Yanzu wanted to get together and go to the Imperial College, Su Ruojin refused on his father's behalf and maintained the status quo, not disturbing each other. Each is at peace.

Su Yanzu said helplessly, "Isn't it okay to be a stranger and a friend?"

Su Ruojin felt puzzled seeing him lowering his body so low, "I don't think you are a proud scholar who can lower your body casually. Why?"

Yeah, for what?

As if he had touched something secret, Su Yanzu no longer had a playful smile, his face was dark, and he said lightly, "Thank you for the lunch." After saying that, he stood up and left Su Ji's breakfast shop.

Su Ruojin stared at his back for a long time. This is a man with a story!

 But not only was he born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was also from a wealthy family. Su Dekai couldn't possibly torture him with some "hardship education", right?

It was none of her business. Su Ruojin retracted her thoughts and turned around. Aunt Gui was putting a piece of braised pork belly on Shi Xiaoliu's plate. Shi Xiaoliu's face was red and he didn't dare to look down at Aunt Gui.

While no one was paying attention, Su Ruojin found Dong's mother who was busy in the kitchen, "What's going on?"

Mama Dong's expression was indescribably complicated, "One night it rained, Xianggui got caught in the rain and got cold, so Shi Xiaoliu dragged his lame leg to ask a doctor for her."

“What about you?”

Dong's mother admitted: "After a busy day, everyone was tired. Before going to bed, I went to Xianggui's room and touched her forehead. No fever was found. I gave her a bowl of **** soup and thought she was fine. Unexpectedly, Xianggui burned her in the middle of the night. I had a dry mouth and went out to look for water. I was caught by Shi Xiaoliu and noticed something was wrong, so..."

Shi Xiaoliu is interested, Xianggui is not merciless, these two...

Seeing that the little master remained silent, Mother Dong interceded for the two of them, "I heard that Xianggui can't have children in this life, and Shi Xiaoliu's legs are like this. If these two get together, they will support each other throughout their lives."

“Who says she can’t give birth?”

Mother Dong was stunned, "Dashi's wife..." Besides, Feng Wangtian also made it clear when he sent Xianggui over.

Su Ruojin sighed, in ancient rural areas, especially in the mountains, if a woman could not give birth to a child, it was the woman’s fault. They did not check it. Maybe it was the man who could not give birth?

Mother Dong: "Then..."

“Let’s see, if both of them are interested, they are both young, so we can find a day to do it for them.”

Dong's mother was sad, "Although Shutong is a servant of an adult, he was not bought by an adult. He was the nephew of an innkeeper when he was on his way to study. At that time, his parents died unexpectedly and the family could not tolerate him, so he came to his uncle's place. He just happened to meet the master, so he stayed with the master as an employee. He could marry Mrs. Lu. Xianggui was now a real slave who sold himself. Although Shi Xiaoliu's family was poor, they were really good people. Even if we want to make it happen, we are afraid..."

This is what worries Mother Dong. Xianggui is a hard-working person who doesn’t talk much. She likes Mother Dong very much. When she saw that Xianggui was interested in Huaping, she always wanted to make peace between them. For this reason, she even wanted to persuade Huaping, an unemployed vagrant. Selling himself to the Su family.

Hua Ping, who was discussing things with Mr. Shen in the small courtyard, suddenly sneezed, "Who cares about me?"

Su Ruojin: ...For a while, she forgot about this.

“If they really mean it, Aunt Gui will be freed when the time comes.”

Mother Dong couldn’t bear it, “Then the Su family is missing a helper?”

“Isn’t it enough to be the same as Brother Da Shi?”

Mother Dong was stuck in her own thoughts. When the little master mentioned this, she immediately turned around and said, "Look at my brain."

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Mom is bending her arms inward because she wants to recruit people for our Su family!"

Seeing that the little master understood her little thoughts, Mother Dong smiled embarrassedly.
