"Our family does not support idlers. If you don't want to take the imperial examination and become an official, you have to manage the general affairs. Otherwise, all your monthly money will be deducted and the family will not give you a penny."
The old man snorted coldly. This time he would keep his word and would never give Su Wenqing another penny.
Su Wenqing's expression changed drastically, and his aura was obviously shorter than before.
"During this Chinese New Year, why don't you celebrate the New Year happily? It's better to wait until after the New Year to discuss this matter, so as not to spoil everyone's happiness!"
Su Wenqing actually lost her smile as she said this, and even poured tea for Su Jinxun herself.
Su Yizhao suddenly felt that the sun was rising in the west, and Su Wenqing actually had a hard time. Sure enough, the charm of money is endless.
Su Jinxun's expression softened slightly, but he still did not let go.
Since all four people at Su Yizhao's table were about to leave, they talked about previous years' test questions and had a good time chatting with each other. Even Su Yiliang rarely found fault.
Because he drank a little rice wine, Su Yizhao's young body was actually overwhelmed by the alcohol, and his head was a little dizzy, so he only sat for an hour and returned to the yard.
...
The winter wind in the North is biting and the heavy snow suddenly stops, leaving only the ice and snow.
Looking at the vast expanse of white in the distance, Su Yizhao immediately closed the small window, rubbed his cold hands, and exhaled a breath of hot breath.
"Master! These are freshly heated buns. Eat them while they are still hot."
The waiter took down the small steamer placed on the small clay stove, used chopsticks to pick up two assorted buns, put them on a plate, and handed them to Su Yizhao.
In such a cold weather, Su Yizhao's exposed hands were still cold even though there was a charcoal basin and a small clay stove in the carriage.
Su Yizhao pressed down the fur at the collar of the fox fur, and then took the plate.
There is a natural refrigerator outside. This time they traveled and brought a lot of food from home, just to make it convenient to eat on the way.
After all, we are traveling by land, and many of them are in the wilderness. Where are the inns and homes?
But this time it was a carriage for two people, one for Su Yizhao and Su Yijue, and one for Su Wenqing and Su Yiliang.
Su Yizhao didn't care that Su Yiliang decided to ride with Su Wenqing.
He is the legitimate son and will inherit the family business in the future. It is okay to want to be closer to his father. Anyway, he will leave the Su family in the future.
"Fifth Brother, don't you need some? Just eat a few steamed buns and make do with it! We're still far from the next county seat, and I'm afraid we won't stop any more on the way."
Su Yizhao glanced at Su Yijue who was reading in the car. She was really impressed that he could read in such a shaky and dark environment.
Su Yijue looked at the buns in the waiter's hand, put down the book in his hand, smiled and said: "I asked Gu Tong to prepare some food, and there is more space. I can't finish it here, so let's use it together!"
Su Yizhao curled up her lips when she heard this. After learning that she was in a carriage with Su Yijue, she wouldn't let the attendant prepare too many good things.
After all, everyone in the family knows what the fourth family's family background is. If he comes up with anything out of the ordinary, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Su Yijue was the only male in the third room. Not to mention the dry food prepared, Su Yizhao was able to take advantage of it in the past two days.
Su Yijue was just waiting for Su Yizhao and the others to finish using the small clay stove, and now asked Gu Tong to prepare it.
The third wife was the legitimate daughter, and Su Yijue was the legitimate son. The third wife had made extremely good preparations before going out.
Seeing Gu Tong steaming the crystal shrimp dumplings, Su Yizhao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Before coming, Yuerong and Yueqiu also went to the big kitchen to spend some money and asked them to cook more food and package it up. However, they did not dare to show off their wealth, so they did not dare to cook more.
After the carriage had been traveling for so many days, she had almost eaten all her food. Most of the rest were steamed buns with various fillings.
But Su Wenqing, in order to hurry up, refused to stop the carriage and ordered everyone to solve the problem on the carriage.
Sensing Su Yijue's gaze, Su Yizhao smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Fifth Brother, why can't I finish my meal? You're just taking care of me! You're welcome, brother. When we get there, I will buy something delicious for Fifth Brother."
Su Yijue smiled, "Then I'll be waiting!"
Seeing Gu Tong put the fried tofu on the pig's trotters again, Su Yizhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
When Su Yizhao returned to the capital two years ago, he was afraid that someone would eat the crab first, so he simply made fried tofu and put it in his shop to use as an ingredient for Malatang.
Unexpectedly, in just two months, workshops in the capital were already producing fried tofu, and Su Yizhao only had a two-month head start!
Fortunately, the method of making fried tofu is simple, but the brine for stinky tofu is not easy to obtain.
Su Yizhao and Su Yizhi jointly opened a small stinky tofu shop, and their monthly income was considerable.
Because Su Yizhao doesn't care about anything about the Stinky Tofu shop now, he doesn't even pay for renting the shop, so he only gets 30% of the net profit dividend for a month.
She only took this because Su Yizhi and her son insisted. After all, they had said before that they would give this business to Su Yizhi.
Even so, the dividends she can receive in a month are about two hundred taels.
Anyway, she didn't expect that the net profit of this stinky tofu would be so high.
But she didn't regret it, after all, she had a lot of ways to make money, and she didn't lack this one.
This is a small business, but it is very laborious and the process is somewhat complicated.
Su Yizhi's mother was a very frugal woman, but the shop was too busy, so she hired three women, a waiter and a shopkeeper, while she completely disappeared behind the scenes.
In fact, Su Yizhi didn't understand why, because Su Yizhi was getting older and it was time to die. This was to prevent Su Yizhi from losing face in front of his classmates.
If I hadn't been worrying about my livelihood before, spending less time on studying, and ending up rashly with no certainty, I would definitely have to go back to my hometown with them to take the exam this time.
While Su Yizhao was wandering in the sky, Su Yijue across from him was secretly sizing her up.
Most of her palm-sized face was hidden by the fox fur at the collar of the cloak, and her black hair was half draped behind her shoulders, making her face as white as jade.
Those slightly narrowed eyes were a little absent-minded at the moment, not as bright as before, but rather a little misty.
The slender green-white fingers are almost the same color as the white porcelain bowl in his hand, and the full pink nails add a bit of elegance to the hands.
Moving his gaze upward again, Su Yizhao's slightly pale lips moved slightly, and a small bump appeared at the corner of his right cheek. This was because the dumpling in his mouth had not been swallowed.
Why does he feel that in just a few days, this cousin seems to have lost a lot of money?
Her lips were a bit pale. Could it be that she didn't take enough nourishment? But he had clearly seen Su Yizhao taking pills before, saying they were for nourishing qi, nourishing blood and regulating the body.
But it has to be said that Su Yizhao has a very handsome appearance, and at a young age, he already has the appearance of a crown jewel.
But, why does he feel that Xiao Qi looks too much, too pink? If she puts on women's clothes, I'm afraid she will be mistaken for a girl.
Upon such observation, Su Yijue suddenly felt a little strange and couldn't help but get closer to take a look.
