As the guests went back one after another, Yuan Suijun's weak crown ceremony quickly spread throughout the capital, causing waves in the capital like a stone dropped into a lake.
Whether it was the sage's show of favor towards Yuan Suijun or Su Yueling's being elevated to the title of county head, they were all hotly debated topics.
The ministers in the imperial court are about to explode. Is a wool carding machine worthy of the emperor's leap of rank and canonization?
Some courtiers secretly wondered whether it was because Su Yueling was so proud in front of the Queen Mother, like his own granddaughter. The emperor did this to coax the Queen Mother.
Naturally, Rong Ji would not tell the imperial court about Yuan Suijun's strategy, lest it spread to the ears of the Di people and lead to failure. He just summoned his trusted Taishi and Taifu to inform the Privy Council. These ministers came from the palace
When they left, their faces were all red and they looked more energetic than usual when walking. If there was such a thing as ministers talking, they would be criticized by these high-ranking ministers.
Over time, anyone with a little bit of brains has guessed that this wool carding machine is probably more useful than imagined.
They could only comfort themselves. No matter how high Su Yueling's position was, she was still a woman. At worst, she would be treated as a mascot.
Regarding Yuan Suijun's request for a reward for Su Yueling, they only felt that Yuan Suijun was very scheming and would seize the opportunity to build a reputation for himself. But it was Yuan Suijun's behavior that made him famous in the hearts of many noble ladies in the capital.
Suddenly he became much taller.
With such appearance and status, he is so affectionate towards his wife.
If Yuan Suijun hadn't had Su Yueling as his wife, they would still be embarrassed, and I'm afraid many of them would want to take action.
…
After the coronation ceremony, Su Yueling received invitations like snowflakes, but she rejected most of them.
Some time ago, she was busy knitting hats and preparing menus, which exhausted her.
She will rest for a while first before talking.
Especially at the end of May, the weather started to get hotter, and her body really couldn't bear it. Don't even think about letting her go out at this time! Yuan Suijun also kept a low profile and spent his rest time at home. He has now
It's hot enough, but it needs to be cooled down so that everyone's attention will not be focused on his family.
After Baoshu waited for the coronation ceremony to be over, she followed her second uncle back to Lushan Village. After following her brother and sister-in-law to the capital, she realized that the world outside was so vast.
The river is full of crucian carp.
Yuan Baoshu is thinking about expanding the dyeing workshop to produce more fabrics and trying to open a new store in the capital this year.
Although everything in the capital is good, the expenses are not small. Eggs are half as expensive as in the county. If I don't make more money, it will be bad for my sister-in-law. I can't let my sister-in-law live frugally.
Although her brother was also planning to open a teahouse for business (Yuan Suijun, as an official, could not engage in business, and even if the teahouse was to be opened, it would be under Awu's name), but Yuan Baoshu did not really believe in his brother's business ability and was afraid that he would lose money.
So it was better for her to make more money so that her brother could afford to lose money.
Yuan Baoshu is really worried about this family. But she is also very happy in it, enjoying the feeling of being able to help her relatives.
After Yuan Baoshu left, Su Yueling felt melancholy for several days.
After she traveled through time, the person she got along with the most was Baoshu, and Baoshu was usually her out-and-out crush. I'm afraid Baoshu won't be able to return to the capital for a few months.
In fact, as long as Su Yueling mentioned it, Yuan Baoshu would definitely stay in the capital to accompany her.
But Su Yueling felt that this was not necessary. Now Baoshu has a confident face and bright eyes, and is much prettier than before. She has no shortage of people to accompany her, so she might as well let Baoshu pursue a career.
It's just that habits are not easy to break. In the first few days after Yuan Baoshu left, Su Yueling was really not used to it.
Yuan Suijun saw this in his eyes and said to her: "Take a rest in three days. Can I go out with you for a walk?"
Su Yueling looked at the weather outside and said, "It's too hot. I don't want to go out."
Yuan Suijun said: "I heard from my colleagues in the Hanlin Academy that the most famous pear garden in the capital has a new play. There will be ice basins in this garden. Do you want to go there?"
"There are a lot of people, right? I don't like to be crowded with strangers."
Basically in modern times, she always chooses to book a venue. If she can't book a venue, she won't go.
Yuan Suijun said: "There is an elegant room."
When Su Yueling heard this, she became interested.
"Then go and listen." I don't know how good this most famous pear garden in the capital is.
The opera troupe Su Yueling bought did not come to the capital with her this time, but stayed in Lushan Village. Su Yueling made arrangements for them before leaving, and asked them to sing operas in Lushan Village and Rizhuang from time to time, or at home.
Singing is also possible.
Su Yueling regained her energy and began to think about what she would wear that day.
Of course you have to dress beautifully when going out!
On the day of rest, after lunch, Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun went out. The weather was getting hotter now, so they had two ice basins placed in the carriage when they went out.
This time, Song Xiaoqiao accompanied Su Yueling out. She took a big fan and fanned Su Yueling. The wind combined with the ice basin actually alleviated the heat.
Speaking of which, summer in Beijing is actually a bit hotter than in Guangning County.
The county lord's residence is not far or close to the pear garden called "Tiangong". It takes a quarter of an hour by carriage. Yuan Suijun reserved the private room a few days ago. Therefore, after they enter the pear garden, they can go directly
Waiting in the private room.
After getting off the carriage, Su Yueling was wearing a hat to protect her from the sun. When she was about to enter the opera garden, she suddenly saw a woman in white mourning clothes kneeling not far from the gate, her waist tied with a black belt.
Showing a slender waist, not too full to hold.
There are four big characters written on the white banner next to it - sell your body and bury your father.
Her beautiful face was full of sadness, her tears fell one by one like pearls, and her gesture of pear blossoms with rain was enough to touch the heart of every hard-hearted person.
Especially this white mourning dress highlights her beauty from seven points to nine points.
Su Yueling's eyes lit up - selling her body to bury her father! This is a classic plot in costume dramas, and she didn't expect to encounter it today.
Yuan Suijun also saw the sad-looking woman. He quickly looked away without any fluctuation in his expression. However, he was not interested, but Su Yueling was very interested. She raised her feet and walked directly in the direction of the woman.
There was a large piece of paper with black characters on a white background spread out in front of the woman.
It states the reason why she sold herself - the woman's father died unexpectedly, she was kicked out by her relatives, and they seized the family property. She decided to sell herself for twenty taels so that her biological father could be buried in peace.
Yuan Suijun's expression changed. He almost forgot that Su Yueling's character was the most soft-hearted, and she would be tricked if she couldn't protect her. With her temperament, it was really possible to buy someone and take her back.
He stopped Su Yueling and said, "That's just a liar."
"Look at her fingers. They are as thin as green onions. There are no calluses on them. It's obvious that she hasn't done any heavy work."
"And she had her eyebrows painted. Someone who is sad about the death of his father would not be in the mood to have his eyebrows painted."
"Besides, a coffin board costs less than twenty taels of silver. For an ordinary family, one tael of silver is enough to buy a coffin board."
Su Yueling looked at the anti-fraud fighter Yuan Suijun, and then at the filial woman whose expression visibly froze because of his words.
How can Yuan Suijun tell the truth! How can this person be brought down from the stage!
