Some people who were reluctant to eat meat put it in the bowls they brought and took it home for their children to eat.
You can even eat and take it, and immediately clear it up after one table is finished and move to the next table.
The main table was in the room, and there were squires and gentlemen from the neighborhood, as well as adults from the government and county offices. A kid like Su Yizhao couldn't fit in there.
Naturally, the Jiang family was invited, and Jiang Yongnian also came to join in the fun.
"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and there is a chrysanthemum exhibition in the west of the city. Do you want to go see it?" Jiang Yongnian asked.
Su Yizhao shook his head, "I'm not going! My father said he plans to leave for the capital in two days, so we have to pack our things today."
"So urgent? Why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Yongnian said with some displeasure.
"The decision he made late in the afternoon makes me feel rushed!"
Su Yizhao spread his hands. Su Wenqing actually wanted to go back to the capital for a long time. He always said that it was boring here.
"Then I will go back and tell my third uncle that I will go with you." Jiang Yongnian thought for a moment and said.
"You've been admitted as a scholar, doesn't the clan have plans for you? Isn't it a good idea to leave in such a hurry?"
In fact, what Su Yizhao thought was that Jiang Yongnian was just a child and could not make the decision.
Since he has been admitted as a scholar, the family must introduce some people to the court for him. This is to prepare him for becoming an official in the future.
Originally Su Wenqing was supposed to do the same, but Su Wenqing was impatient to deal with this, so the clan had no choice but to give up!
"My father also urged me to go back early. I still have to prepare for the provincial examination. It's too early to make plans now."
After the banquet was over, Su Yizhao planned to return to the courtyard, but Su Yizhi blocked his progress.
"At the banquet just now, I heard that you will be returning to Beijing in two days?" Su Yi knew.
Su Yizhao naturally wouldn't hide it from him, so he nodded.
"I planned to give you the silver tomorrow, but I'm afraid I forgot. The amount is too much, so I'd better give it to you now!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yizhi immediately took Su Yizhi back to his yard. After closing the door, he turned around and found a few more banknotes on the table.
"Here is the money for the 23rd day. You said before that you didn't need to come to settle the accounts, so I made an account book."
As he spoke, he took out a thin account book from his pocket, spread out the first page and handed it to Su Yizhao.
This was just the money Su Yizhao earned in her spare time. There would probably be no chance of cooperation in the future, and she didn't intend to take a closer look.
"I believe you!" Su Yizhao directly turned to the last page of the account book, which read eight hundred and sixty-seven taels.
"So many?" Su Yizhao was a little shocked. This was beyond her expectation.
I originally thought that the appearance of a fried tofu stall in the market would affect their business, but the business seems to be better than before.
"Because of the brine recipe you provided, now we are the only family in Beiyuan Prefecture who can make stinky tofu, and it is delicious. Isn't the business booming? But it's also because it's just the beginning, and it's a fresh food. After a while,
There will be no more.”
Su Yizhi sighed and then said.
Su Yizhao did the math, took four 100-tael silver notes, and pushed the remaining silver over as usual.
"As a rule, the remaining sixty-seven taels are considered aunt's hard-earned money."
Su Yizhao was very happy. There was also progress in Beiyuan Mansion, and there was quite a lot!
Su Yizhi shook his head when he saw this, "I'll give these to you!"
Su Yizhao was very puzzled, "Ah? I don't want this! I originally agreed to split it half and half."
Su Yizhi took a deep breath, and then said: "Actually, I have something to ask for!"
Su Yizhao knew it well and delayed speaking until now. He must have made a lot of preparations in his mind.
"We want to go to the capital, my mother said. We want to go to the capital to study, and we want to ask for the care of our eldest brother."
After Su Yizhi finished speaking, he quickly promised: "Don't worry, we have made money recently and will rent a small yard outside. We will not rely on the elder's house for help. We just want to ask the elder's house to take care of us from time to time. After all, the elder sister and mother are both women, and
I'm still young, so I'm afraid of being bullied."
"Why? You are living a very prosperous life now, so you shouldn't have to worry about money. When I return to the capital, this business will be given to you. You can make money alone, and you don't have to share it with me. It is our fate to cooperate."
Su Yizhi didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, Su Yizhi's mother might have wanted to rely on her eldest son to pave the way for her son's future career.
If you stay close to your eldest brother, you will always be able to take care of him a little bit in the future.
Su Yizhi gave a bitter smile, "Our business is in Beiyuan Mansion, so it may not last long. Last time, someone from the clan told us that we were not allowed to do it, saying it would be an insult to the Su family's face."
"Actually, it will be good for you to arrive in the capital. The money we earn will be divided half and half."
He looked at Su Yizhao with hope. With this opportunity, he wanted to go to the capital.
Su Yizhao felt that people's changes were subtle. Will Su Yizhi change from the shy young man to a calculating person? She didn't know.
But Su Yizhi now has undergone tremendous changes from when she first came here.
Maybe relationships are pure when there are no interests before, right?
Su Yizhao was less interested in making friends with him, but there is nothing wrong with people going to higher places.
"You know, I'm just a bastard in the family and I can't make the decision at all!"
Su Yizhao's eyes immediately darkened when he looked at the other party, still feeling a little bit unbearable. In fact, it's okay to want to change the status quo, it's human nature.
It's rare to find someone who doesn't take advantage of someone in exchange for a favor.
"But if you can persuade my father, then there will be no problem. Once he agrees, the capital will not ignore you."
Su Yizhao was talking about the capital, not Su Wenqing. Because it was impossible to expect Su Wenqing to take care of him.
Su Wenqing can't even take care of his wife and children, let alone his widowed mother and children.
She has already pointed out the way. Whether she can persuade Su Wenqing depends on Su Yizhi's ability.
"I want to go to the capital because of my mother and eldest sister. The widowed mother's life in the clan is actually not easy. My eldest sister has reached the marriageable age, but she is unable to achieve high or low levels. I don't want to delay her."
Su Yizhi wriggled his lips, fearing that Su Yizhao had a grudge against him, so he thought it would be better to explain.
Although this reason is very pale, it is his sincerity.
Su Yizhao nodded. She naturally understood Su Yizhi's difficulties, otherwise she would not have given him directions.
...
"Master!" Su Huai entered the study, his face full of surprise.
"What's the matter?" Su Jinxun put aside the chaotic thoughts. He was not distracted anyway and simply closed the book.
"Fourth Master has won the election!" Su Huai handed over a letter and then said.
"This is a letter from Beiyuan Mansion, and this is a document from the Ministry of Personnel, which arrived together."
Su Huai handed over the letter in his hand. After waiting for a moment, there was no movement, so he had to look up and found that the master was in a daze.
"You mean Su Wenqing was elected?" The old man couldn't believe what he heard, so he confirmed again.
"Yes! Fourth Master won the fifty-ninth place!" Su Huai nodded again.
