Chapter 269: Those in the academy dont know what to think of him
Su Yan bent down slightly and touched his head, "If you're worried about spending too much money, learn how to read well and help your aunt settle accounts in the future."
"I can teach my brother how to write in the future."
"Uncle Qin and I will worry less in the future."
Sun Erdan didn't say anything and promised obediently: "I will teach my brother how to read in the future."
Su Yan nodded, "Sister Cui, you go back first with Tuantuan and Erdan. I'll go to the market to buy some food and cook it home."
Sister Cui thought about the cold weather now, "Madam, what do you want to buy? I'll buy it."
"You guys go back, I'll take a walk for a while." Su Yan wanted to wander around a little more to see if there was any way to make money.
Now that the whole family is in the county town, the expenses are naturally higher, and we must find some business.
The coal shop is a bit far away from here, and the child can't live without people now. She can't go there to sell things, so she can only set up a stall in front of her home like others.
The market here is bigger than the town, selling everything. When Su Yan saw water bracken for sale, she bought two kilograms, and then bought a duck to fry and eat later.
When I came back, I saw a lot of stalls selling snacks and a lot of people eating there, probably because this place is not close to the most prosperous place in the county.
It was getting late now, so she was busy cooking, and packed the food just before noon. "Sister Cui, I sent it here first. Erdan, help aunt watch the steamed eggs in the kitchen and don't let them boil dry."
Already."
After saying that, she carried the food box and bamboo tube to Mingyue Academy. After waiting for less than half a quarter of an hour, a few scholars wearing white scholar uniforms came out.
After a while, Qin An, wearing a gray jacket, strode out. Seeing Su Yan waiting, he quickly ran over and said, "How long have you been waiting for? You must be too cold." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to touch the back of her hand.
"No, just for a moment, can you take it in to eat?" Su Yan looked around, but there was no place to eat anywhere.
Qin An nodded, "There is a pavilion inside where you can eat."
"Then I'll take this back and wash it after you finish eating." Su Yan said with a smile.
There are many young masters from wealthy families in Mingyue Academy, and young servants and maids can go in to deliver meals, so naturally Su Yan can go in as well.
The academy was much bigger than Su Yan imagined. Seeing everyone else wearing the same scholar uniform, she asked in a low voice: "Didn't the academy send you any clothes? Or do you have to buy them yourself?"
"You don't have to buy it, just buy it if you want to."
Qin An took her to a nearby stone table. There were seven or eight stone tables here, and people were already eating.
Su Yan sat next to her, helped open the bamboo tube and said, "I packed the rice soup to keep it warm."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young woman at the next table looked over and said in surprise: "You still use bamboo tubes to put food in? It's very dirty."
Immediately everyone at the other tables looked over. Although Su Yan didn't think the one she used at home was dirty, she saw that the dishes and chopsticks on their tables were all very good, and the pot for drinking water was a porcelain bottle.
When she looked at her own house, she saw that they were all brought from the town.
"I haven't bought it yet. I just came to town. I will change it tomorrow."
It doesn't matter if she's not decent, but she can't make Qin An look bad, otherwise a group of people will isolate him.
The young woman looked at the two of them and said, "It looks like they are from the village. This is expensive, so you may not be able to afford it."
Su Yan's expression did not change, she smiled and said, "You want dozens of taels of silver?"
The middle-aged woman choked immediately. Then she saw another couple coming over and flattered her quickly: "Come over and eat together. I bought Chunlou's Drunken Chicken."
Qin An glanced at his wife and whispered: "Don't worry, it's not them who eat what I eat."
"good."
Su Yan nodded and said, she would go home after he finished eating and then go out to buy a kettle.
porcelain shop
Su Yan's eyes fell on the porcelain pot, and she asked the waiter: "How do you sell this?"
"Which one do you want? The innermost two taels of silver, the middle one, and the outermost eight hundred cents. No bargaining." The waiter glanced at her clothes and added the last sentence.
Su Yan ignored his attitude. Dogs looked down on people everywhere. She couldn't quarrel with a dog. "What's the difference?"
The waiter explained: "The one inside is well insulated and the water will be warm all morning."
"All the scholars in the academy use that."
"Then I want one like this."
Su Yan is not pretending to be fat, she can use whatever she wants at home, but now her husband is different, he is studying in an academy.
Although he didn't care about this, it was unpleasant to hear what others said.
She was still willing to spend this little money to make him get along better with others outside.
After buying the porcelain pot, she went to a nearby cloth shop and found several cloth shops, but none of them sold scholar uniforms. She said she wanted to give money to the academy and the academy asked the shop to make the clothes.
Qin An's temperament must have meant that the clothes were too expensive, so she went to the private school again and asked the boy at the door, "How can I buy scholar clothes here? My husband-in-law forgot to bring money yesterday, so I will pay it today."
"
"Go to the accounting room and give her some clothes after you give her money. Go in and walk to the left." The boy had never seen such a beautiful woman, so he took another look at her.
Su Yan naturally saw it, but she didn't say anything. She walked in for a while and arrived at the accountant's office. The accountant was sitting there doing calculations, "I'm here to buy scholar uniforms. How much money do I have to pay?"
The accountant looked up at her and said, "How many sets do I want? Each set costs thirty taels of silver."
Hearing this, Su Yan clicked her tongue in her heart. A set only costs three taels of silver, which is a bit expensive. But there is nothing you can do to avoid suffering the consequences.
"I want two sets."
After coming out of the academy, Su Yan went to the bank and took out fifty taels to buy groceries these days.
When she got home, she saw that Tuantuan had woken up. She hugged him and played with him for a while. After he fell asleep, she began to worry about doing business again.
They sell pimple soup here, but I guess not many people will come to eat it.
…
When Qin An came back, she was making fish cakes, and the fragrance filled the yard. She said happily: "My husband, you are back, come and try the fish cakes."
Su Yan took a piece of fish cake and handed it to him. Qin An opened his mouth and took a bite, "It's delicious."
"I want to sell this tomorrow. I have a fish pond at home, so I don't have to buy fish." Su Yan asked his opinion.
Qin An didn't want her to be too tired, "I won't sell it for the time being. I'll go out as a escort when I'm done with it. It can be used at home for half a year."
"I set up a stall in front of my house. I have nothing to do when I'm at home. I'm so free today that I don't even know where I went."
Su Yan then said: "You put the things in the house first, I will cook right away."
inside the house
Qin An opened the closet and saw two brand-new scholar uniforms inside. He pursed his lips, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
After changing into a coarse cloth jacket, he went to the kitchen. His eyes fell on the woman's busy figure, and a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes. He said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, don't buy me those things in the future. I don't have to follow anyone to study."
say what."
Su Yan knew that he had seen it, so she turned around and pretended to be relaxed: "It's not expensive. If you don't wear it alone, how will others see you?"
"I still have money at home, why are you saving it?"
She paused and then said, "Did anyone say anything to you today?"
At this point, she felt a little regretful that she didn't go with him to pay the fee, otherwise she wouldn't have asked him not to buy scholar uniforms.
The scholars in the academy didn't know what to think of him.
