"The Su family and their relatives have to go to announce the good news. These people are here to run errands for us. We have to go on official mission to report the good news, so we can't tell them."
Su Wenqing saw that Su Yizhao was thoughtful, so he walked to her and explained.
Su Yizhao suddenly realized, no wonder he was given so much money just now.
"Poor people can also repay by themselves, but for people like us, if we go by ourselves, it would seem arrogant. It's just a matter of using some money." Su Wenqing explained again.
Su Yizhao nodded again clearly. In other words, although it was a happy event, one had to be reserved and maintain a high profile.
"I haven't had time to congratulate my father yet! This time my father won the election, my grandfather and mother must be extremely happy. Will our fourth brother be able to achieve great success!"
Su Wenqing curled his lips, "That's right! Although your father and I haven't died for many years, I haven't forgotten what I learned!"
"My father has set an example for his son. In the future, my son will study hard and hope to be on the laurel list like his father!"
Su Yizhao quickly praised a few words. It would be a good thing if Su Wenqing could wake up.
"As expected of my son, he has great ambitions and studies hard!" Su Wenqing patted Su Yizhao on the shoulder and nodded in approval.
Su Yizhao found that Su Wenqing was a soft-spoken person and could change things for the better with good words and appropriate encouragement.
"Hurry! Get ready, it's time to throw the wedding money!"
There was a shout outside the door, and Su Yizhao saw that the two old masters and the others had arrived outside the courtyard and waved to Su Wenqing, so he pulled Su Wenqing and hurried up.
Su Wenqing was reluctantly pushed in front of everyone. Everyone was congratulating him, so naturally he wanted to say a few happy words.
"Fellows, fellow villagers and clan members, today is a happy day for my high school graduation. I have always relied on you for your care, so today I will give you money back to make you feel happy."
Su Wenqing stood on the steps of the main entrance and looked at the people below.
"I hope that all my children will become scholars and be on the gold list as soon as possible. I will encourage you all to do the same!"
As soon as Su Wenqing finished speaking, everyone applauded, and someone said: "Master Juren is a man of great literary talent! What he said was bright and festive!"
In fact, it is just a polite word! Everyone is also trying to celebrate.
"Everyone! National Day is a good day. Our Su Mansion is preparing to hold a grand banquet. I hope all of my neighbors will appreciate it and take the time to come to the banquet."
The second old man came forward at this time and said to everyone.
Everyone cheered, there was good wine and good food, and you didn’t have to pay for it, who wouldn’t be happy?
Furthermore, they are all farmers who cannot easily eat meat on weekdays, so they will definitely have to eat freely on that day.
"Second old man Su, do you have two meals a day?" Some women were aggressive and asked boldly because the second old man of the Su family was easy to talk to today.
"Yes! Everyone, come early. We will prepare a banquet for everyone before noon."
After the second old man finished speaking, he asked the boy behind him to carry the basket and stand in front of the steps.
Su Yizhao watched the crowd cheering and couldn't help but be infected by such a cheerful atmosphere. They all come from poor families, so they are naturally happy to have such a good thing.
Looking from top to bottom, the black waves above the head block the land in front of the old house. Is this because the whole village is here?
No! Maybe there are neighboring villages that have received the news.
There is no doubt about Uncle Zhong's ability to do things. In such a short time, he has actually prepared three baskets of copper coins.
Su Yizhao looked at these copper coins, his eyes glowed with golden light in the shape of copper coins.
Be good! Even three young men found it difficult to carry this basket. If it were converted into silver, it would be at least fifty taels per basket, right? We also had to hold a banquet to treat the neighbors to a banquet. Su Yizhao suddenly felt that the Su family was quite wealthy.
"Everyone, we have something to say first! It's still the old rule. When giving away wedding money, don't rob it. You are not allowed to snatch it from the hands of the servants, let alone from the basket. You are only allowed to pick it up on the ground. Whoever picks it up belongs to whoever picks it up.
Don't get into any arguments, otherwise the coins will no longer be scattered."
The second old man's face, which had been cheerful just now, turned solemn, and then he ordered his family's guards to stand around to intimidate everyone.
Everyone also put away their smiles and regained their previous fear of class rule.
In fact, this is also to prevent stampedes from happening. After all, no one will give in when it comes to money.
It is certain that some people are dishonest and would rob, but Su Yizhao can understand.
"Okay! Let's begin!" the second old man ordered, and then the first handful of copper coins was scattered to everyone like a goddess scattering flowers.
The crisp sound of the copper plate falling on the bluestone was like an exploding firecracker, sending a signal to everyone.
There was a chaos in front of the house. Children, old people, women and strong men were all picking up money.
After a while, some people cheered, some children cried, and some roared and cursed.
At this moment, all the negative aspects of human nature are exposed.
Su Yizhao originally wanted to go down and join in the fun, but now his feet were rooted and he didn't dare to move.
Although I had seriously stated before that looting was not allowed, when I actually started picking up money, the situation was no longer under control.
As long as the person is not beaten to a bloody head, ordinary pushing and shoving will be ignored.
For some reason, Su Yizhao felt a little heavy in his heart.
"Look! They lie on the ground like dogs picking up money, abandoning their dignity, and even attack neighbors and relatives with whom they usually get along well, just for those few copper coins."
Su Yichu walked to Su Yizhao, looked at the people below, and sneered.
Su Yizhao shook his head and said: "No! What they are doing is not just a few copper coins, but for survival and for their families."
Su Yichu was stunned. He turned his head and glanced at Su Yizhao, and then suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Ten years to the east of Hedong, ten years to the west of Hexi! How could we know that their today is not our tomorrow? Flowers never bloom for a hundred days. This is a wake-up call for us."
Su Yizhao continued: "But this is just picking up money based on your own ability, and it is not shameful!"
"Okay! I didn't expect you to be so aware at such a young age!"
The second old man didn't know when he stood beside the two of them. He looked at Su Yizhao with eyes full of admiration.
"Only by being constantly prepared and constantly striving to improve yourself can you maintain the prosperity of your family. It is necessary for people to plan ahead and take a long-term view.
Today we stand on the steps and look down. In the future, if our status is changed, we will stand on the steps and look up to others. It is just a normal life!"
The second old man stroked his beard and sighed.
Su Yizhao once again looked at the second old man with admiration. Whether this man was greedy for Mo family property was another matter, but his conduct and life experience were indeed worth learning from her.
It's no wonder that Su Jinxun asked him to be the acting clan leader. He does have his strengths.
When Su Yichu heard this, his expression was shocked. He didn't expect that a concubine would have to show off in front of his clan uncle.
It's a pity that these tribesmen are just enjoying the glory and gold and silver they bring in their ancestral homeland!
When can we get rid of Mi Chong's behavior, let's teach him a lesson! With a cold snort in his heart, Su Yichu looked down again.
