In the evening, Xiao Sui'er, Rou Niang and Huan Niang and others returned from shopping under the protection of Ma Han Zhang Long and more than a dozen companions. When they learned that Su Jin High School was going to be the first member of the party, Xiao Sui'er jumped three feet high and was so happy.
While yelling and screaming, Mrs. Wang smiled from ear to ear and pointed at Xiao Sui'er and said, "I'm afraid this crazy girl doesn't believe that her son-in-law will pass the exam."
"The sisters of the slave family congratulate the master on his senior high school graduation. This is great. The Su family should feel proud."
Rou Niang and Huan Niang shed tears of joy to congratulate them. They were happy for Su Jin and at the same time happy for themselves. Now the two sisters have the status of half masters in the Su family. Although the formal ceremony has not been held yet, the concubinage is always
After the wedding, Yan Biyun came in, and their status was basically settled.
Su Jin smiled and said: "Why are you crying? I am happy; I didn't get this fame for myself, you guys also have a share."
Mrs. Wang stepped forward to comfort Rou Niang and Huan Niang and said: "You two are indispensable for Jin'er's success today. I know that you two serve him very attentively. When you entered my Su family, I had some complaints. Now I see
Come on, it's my fault."
Sister Rou Niang quickly saluted without even daring to say anything. Mrs. Wang wiped the tears of the two sisters with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "After your young master gets married, I will talk to Biyun and choose an auspicious day to marry you two sisters."
As a side wife, my Su family is not a wealthy family, but it is still a respectable family. I am afraid that I will humiliate you sisters, what do you think?"
The two sisters' faces turned red and they remained silent for a long time.
Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't you want to? Then I will find a good family for you sisters, so that you can marry in a glorious manner and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."
Mrs. Wang stretched out her fist and hit Su Jin on the body, and cursed: "You bastard, you know how to bully them. These two sisters are so beautiful. Having them is a blessing that you cultivated in your previous life. You
If not, mother will take them in as goddaughters and love and protect them every day."
Su Jin chuckled and said, "But they don't want to marry me. You see, it's not straightforward at all."
Mrs. Wang spat: "You think they are all like you, like monkey cubs, with their skin rolled up."
Rou Niang Huan Niang burst into laughter and said in a low voice: "But according to the old lady's decision, the Nu family sisters will be born as Su family members and die as Su family ghosts. If you want us to marry someone else, it is better to kill our sisters..."
Mrs. Wang said repeatedly: "Bah, bah, bah, children's words are taboo; what about life and death? Don't worry, I don't think Biyun is a mean master. As long as you treat her with the courtesy of a lady, she will never
I won’t be able to accommodate you, so don’t worry.”
Su Jin put away her playful smile and said seriously: "I've been thinking about something, and I want to ask you, but I'm afraid of being rude."
Rou Niang Huan Niang looked at Su Jin and said, "Young Master, I just want to ask."
Su Jindao: "At first you said that your father was a minor official in Hefei County, but later he offended someone for some reason and was sent to prison and sent to Yizhou, right?"
Rou Niang and Huan Niang were aroused by Su Jin, and their faces suddenly became sad. Mrs. Wang quickly said: "Why do you say this so seriously? We are members of the Su family now, isn't this good? Just forget about the past.
, who doesn’t feel uncomfortable yet?”
Su Jin said: "No, mother, I have been thinking about it. Although the mother of their sisters is no longer here, their father is just sent to Yizhou, not necessarily alive. Last time I was copying Zhu Shiyong's files in Luzhou Prefecture.
I also specifically asked about it, and found out that there was a man named Shen Chongshi who used to work as a bailiff in Hefei County. I wanted to ask about it when I came back, but I forgot about it when I got busy."
Sister Rou Niang opened her eyes wide and said, "Yes, that's right. The Shen Chongshi the young master mentioned is the father of the slave family. Have you seen the file?"
Su Jin nodded and said: "As expected, of course I saw it. The file says that he embezzled money from others when collecting taxes, right?"
Rou Niang said anxiously: "Master, please don't believe the lies in the file. My father will never be that kind of person. In his early years, my father failed to pass the imperial examination and his family was relatively well-off, so he closed his door to idleness. Later, his mother persuaded him to work in the Yamen.
It was better to find a job than to be idle at home, so my father asked someone to find a secretary position. The magistrate of Hefei County turned out to be an adult named Ma. He got along well with my father, so he promoted him to be a security guard.
But later on, someone suddenly reported to the Yamen that my father had taken bribes when collecting taxes and privately reduced the taxes, so he was sent to Yizhou."
Su Jin frowned and said, "Your family was originally very wealthy. Logically speaking, your father would never do such a thing."
Huan Niang said: "How could Daddy do such a thing? He always gives food to the poor and has taught us sisters to be kind to others since we were young. Daddy is the best person in the world. How could he do such a thing?
Activities.”
Su Jindao: "After your father was sent to Yizhou, did you sisters send anyone to find out about him?"
Rou Niang shed tears and said: "At that time, we sisters relied on each other. My mother was seriously ill and spent all her money on medical treatment and medicine. She eventually passed away. I also asked someone who went to Yizhou to do the cowhide business to find out.
But when people came back, they said that Yizhou was a place with high mountains and steep roads, and was a place where strongmen roamed. When the officials escorted the prisoners to Yizhou, most of them abandoned the prisoners and ran back without even entering Shu. Few of the prisoners survived. It was them.
Those who do business also form gangs to watch and follow the escorts while they are escorting them, so that they can arrive safely. If we try to persuade us to give up on this idea, we will most likely lose it."
Rou Niang burst into tears and couldn't speak any more.
Huan Niang said softly: "We sisters originally exchanged the few valuable things at home for money and planned to go there in person, but when we heard that strong men were coming and going, how could we two weak women dare to go? Later, my sister asked many people to inquire.
, they all say that the distribution to Yizhou is basically a blessing, so my sisters gradually began to believe it."
Su Jindao: "In other words, your father is not necessarily dead. He was sent to Yizhou just for labor. If your father could reach Yizhou, he might have survived. It only happened three to five years ago. It seems that
There is still hope of finding it.”
Rou Niang wiped away her tears and asked Su Jin in a daze: "Did the young master say that he wanted to help the slave sisters find their father?"
Su Jin nodded and said: "Of course, I was busy with things in the past and didn't care much about you sisters. Since my relatives are still alive, I have to look for even the slightest opportunity; but there is no hurry at the moment. I will go there tomorrow.
Let’s ask Mr. Sansi who the new magistrate of Luzhou is, and see if we can bring up the case and re-investigate it. Regardless of whether the person is alive or not, the name must be cleared first.”
Rou Niang and Huan Niang looked at each other, Yingying kowtowed to Su Jin and thanked her repeatedly.
Su Jin quickly helped him up and said: "What should be done is very polite. We are all a family. We should have done it as soon as possible. I, Su Jin, can't help you."
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Look, my son is very considerate now and has really grown up. I am here to remember this for you. I will remind you in a few days to prevent you from forgetting again."
Su Jin said: "Mom is right, remember to remind me and ask around."
Xiao Sui'er had been pouting for a long time. After hearing Mrs. Wang's words about helping Su Jin marry the two sisters as sidekicks, Xiao Sui'er felt irritable for no reason. Although she also sympathized with Rou Niang and Huan Niang's experiences, she saw
Even though Su Jin was so kind to them, she still felt sour.
"Old madam, sir, the food is getting cold and there are mosquitoes outside. Let's go inside and talk. On such a beautiful day, weeping and crying make my little maid very upset."
The last sentence was naturally meant for Rou Niang and Huan Niang to hear. How could Rou Niang be so smart and not smell jealous? She hurriedly stepped forward and put her arms around Xiao Sui'er's shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, sister Sui'er. It's my sister."
No, it’s a big day for me to say this. Come on, let’s have a family dinner together to celebrate the first year of the Young Master’s high school. This is the first place in the Song Dynasty Provincial Examination. It’s a matter of lasting fame.”
Xiaosui'er just followed Rou Niang's trick. As soon as she said a few nice words, her dissatisfaction flew to the sky, and she said with a smile: "Yes, we are having a family dinner tonight, and we are going to drink, so we can get drunk before we stop."
Did you know that my little maid coaxed two jars of Xinghua Village wine out of Master Yan’s house, and the jars will be opened tonight?"
Su Jin laughed dumbly and said, "Why did you get it by false accusation? It's so ugly."
Xiao Sui'er smiled and said: "That's right. The little maid went to ask for it openly, but Xiao Guizi who was looking at the wine cellar refused. So the little maid secretly watched him from the side, and it turned out that he secretly drank the good wine.
The maid showed up on the spot to catch him, and threatened that if he didn't give me two jars of wine to stop my mouth, he would tell Master Yan; hehe, the little maid laughed to death."
Su Jin pinched her nose and said: "Of course it turns out that Xiao Guizi couldn't stand the blackmail of your hero Xiao Sui'er, so she obediently served two jars of fine wine to block your mouth, right?"
Xiaosui'er said proudly: "That's natural."
Su Jin laughed and said, "Then let's go drink the blackmailed wine tonight. I heard that the blackmailed wine is very fragrant."
Xiao Sui'er blinked and said, "Really?"
Mrs. Wang lovingly took Xiao Sui'er in her arms and said, "Girl, don't listen to your young master's nonsense. If you are sold by him, you still have to help him count the money."
Xiao Sui'er pretended to be angry and stamped her feet, while Su Jin had already strode into the house with a smile.
