Su Yizhao just got a small gold lock set with rubies yesterday, so Su Yizhao naturally has a crush on this wealthy Uncle Lu.
"Uncle Lu! My nephew is here to say goodbye! When you go to the capital, you have to ask Brother Wen to come and play with me!"
Su Yizhao was talking cheaply about Brother Wen being Lu Zhanxun's legitimate son. In fact, they didn't even exchange a few words at the dinner table yesterday.
"Haha! Your boy is so well-educated and lovable!"
As he spoke, he took off a sapphire blue purse embroidered with precious flowers from his waist and stuffed it into Su Yizhao's hand.
"Take it and buy some gadgets!"
"Thank you very much, Uncle Lu! I wish Uncle Lu great prosperity and longevity!"
Su Yizhao was very happy when he got benefits by talking about being clever and behaving well.
"You're too spoiled to him!" Su Wenqing said with rare embarrassment.
When the Lu government sent someone to take them to the dock, Su Yizhao opened it and looked at the contents inside.
Just now I felt it was round and round, and it didn't look like silver, copper plates or banknotes.
When she opened it, the golden light inside almost blinded her.
Pour some out and put them in the palm of your hand, and found that they were golden beans. Su Yizhao quickly poured them all out and counted them, there were thirty in total.
"Father! How much silver is this golden bean worth?" Su Yizhao looked at Su Wenqing aside and asked excitedly.
"These thirty pieces, equivalent to silver, must be worth at least thirty taels! I can only buy some gadgets!" Su Wenqing put his head on his hands and calculated.
"Thirty taels is more than a year's monthly payment for my son!"
Su Yizhao wanted to roll his eyes, look at this person, it costs thirty taels of silver to buy gadgets for a child.
"Yeah! No, my son only has two hundred taels of silver now, so he still has to save some money on these thirty taels."
As Su Yizhao said that, he hid the golden beans close to his body. Su Wenqing suddenly felt that Su Yizhao was a bit petty.
"By the way, father! Did grandpa give you any money when you came out this time? We went to the old house, we have to eat, drink and spend money, right?"
Su Yizhao is most concerned about this issue at the moment. If he has no money, how can he follow Su Wenqing and drink the northwest wind?
"Of course I gave it, what are you afraid of? It will definitely be enough for you to eat and drink. What's more, as a father, I have so many friends, how can I still starve to death?"
Co-author: Are your friends your cash machines? Su Yizhao thought to himself.
"When we left, your uncle Lu gave you two thousand taels of silver as payment! Don't be so petty, you don't have to embarrass our Su family. Show up like a young man from a noble family. Your father is rich in money.
"
Nani? This dad collects money very confidently!
No wonder this father is not worried about not having enough money to spend, but he still blames the Tang family for making such a fuss. This is because he doesn’t understand the difficulties of having four bedrooms at all!
"Father! I also want to have a friend like this!" Su Yizhao said with envy.
"You must tell me the next time Uncle Lu goes to the capital! My son and they hit it off like old friends. Just after leaving the Lu Mansion, my son misses Uncle Lu and Brother Wen a little."
"I think you want your Uncle Lu's money!" Su Wenqing laughed when he heard this.
Uncle Zhong smiled widely. The young master was lively and interesting.
It takes six or seven days to take a boat from Hedanfu to Beiyuanfu. The weather is good and the boat travels smoothly.
If there is a violent storm on the way, the ship will have to dock at other piers.
After four consecutive days on the boat, the novelty was gone and Su Yizhao began to feel bored.
"Father! Autumn is coming on the eighth day of next month. Are you sure?"
Su Yizhao was embarrassed to say that during this trip, apart from teaching her how to read on the boat for four days, Su Wenqing had never opened a book at all.
"It's not a good thing to have too much utilitarianism. You should face it with a normal mind. What if you win? What if you don't win? For me, there is no big difference!" Su Wenqing replied without raising his head.
Su Yizhao was speechless. Anyway, this father didn't want to end up in the first place.
She simply leaned over to look at his paintings, but she didn't expect that Su Wenqing's painting attainments were quite high.
The painting was of a river scene, which was exactly what it looked like when the sun rose this morning. It was no wonder that Su Wenqing wanted to get her up early to watch the sunrise.
"As a scholar, how can I not know how to paint? From today on, my father will teach you!"
Su Yizhao quickly agreed that if she wanted to survive in ancient times, she would regard these as survival skills, so many skills are not overwhelming!
Just when Su Yizhao was about to ask for advice, a horrified scream came from outside the cabin, "Ah! Killing!"
Then there was a burst of noise, and the cabin seemed to be in chaos.
Su Wenqing frowned when he heard this, "Gu Yuan! Go and see what happened?"
Gu Yuan is Su Wenqing's personal attendant, and usually follows Su Wenqing when he goes out. As for Uncle Zhong, he usually waits at the house.
Gu Yuan responded and then walked out.
Su Yizhao listened to the commotion outside and wanted to go out for a look, but Su Wenqing didn't allow her to go out.
"Father! I don't know who died. The sound was so close, maybe it happened in the adjacent wing of ours."
Su Yizhao listened intently over there, Su Wenqing glanced at her, and Su Yizhao immediately sat down obediently.
"You are a beginner, so you must first learn to copy. My father, there are some paintings by famous people here. Although they are not famous paintings, they can still be used."
Su Wenqing spoke slowly and slowly, seemingly not interested in the outside world at all.
"Father! If there is a murder case, will the government stop the ship? I'm afraid it will delay your end."
Su Yizhao suddenly thought of this and frowned.
Su Wenqing also stopped what he was doing when he heard this, "It doesn't matter if you don't end up, but your grandfather will inevitably nag you, and he may even want to drag your father to take care of the general affairs of the house."
Su Yizhao calculated the time and found that they had spent five days on the road. They originally planned to arrive at Beiyuan Mansion within half a month.
But now that there was a murder case on the ship, if the government investigated the case, it would be delayed for a few days. After Su Wenqing returned to Beiyuan Mansion, he had to go to the Yamen to register and submit his resume as soon as possible.
Although the government had already sent someone to do this, the registration process could not be completed until Su Wenqing arrived in person and had his portrait drawn.
"Master! I heard the news and said that a passenger died on the ship!"
Gu Yuan came back soon, and as soon as he finished speaking, Su Yizhao spoke.
"Is it a boy or a girl? How did he die?"
Su Wenqing glanced at Su Yizhao, then nodded to indicate to Gu Yuan that there was no need to be shy.
"It was a woman who was stabbed in the abdomen with a dagger and died of excessive blood loss. The boss of the ship has already docked the ship at the shore and plans to report it to the official."
Su Yizhao heard a man yelling angrily from outside and said, "If you report to the official, your time will be wasted. Who is the person making the noise? Her husband?"
"Yes! Her husband shouted that the murderer must be on the boat, and the boss of the ship was not allowed to dock for fear that the murderer would escape. The ship is in the center of the river now. If it docks at the shore, it will take half a day."
