On the thirteenth day of the year, the Su Liu family went to Fucheng to celebrate the Lantern Festival at the invitation of Song Fei. This was also the first time the family left Changping County.
The Su Liu family spent the whole year having banquets at various houses. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, their family also held a banquet, and they got closer to the villagers, except for the people in the old house.
In the second year of junior high school, Su Yindi went back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings and brought a whole family together. The old saying was repeated, it was just to ask Su Liu to arrange something for Zhu Erlang San, but he did not mention the matter of getting married in a whimsical manner. In order to let Su Liu
Liu arranged an errand, all he had to do was kneel down and lick his face.
As for the people in the old house, even during the Chinese New Year, they still caused trouble for them from time to time as before. Mrs. Huang also loved to speak ill of them. Unfortunately, as Su Liu and the others got closer to the villagers,
, no one agreed with her anymore, and instead told Mrs. Huang's words back to Mrs. Chen and others.
Out of sight, out of mind, Su Liu and the others simply went to Fucheng.
Gyeongju Fortress is a large state, and the city wall is more than ten feet high. There are soldiers guarding the city. Anyone entering or leaving Gyeongju City must have a customs clearance certificate, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter. When Su Liu and his party arrived
, it is the time of day, when most people come in and out.
"Sure enough, this is a big state, and there are not so many people here as usual." When queuing up to enter the city, Su Liu lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, smiling and saying to Cao Mingzhu.
Since Song Fei invited Su Liu and his family, Cao Kui would not be left out, so Cao Mingzhu and his daughter also came together. The two families went on the road together and took care of each other.
The Cao family's carriage was much wider. For companionship, Su Liu and Cao Mingzhu took the two girls in a carriage, and the two of them never stopped talking on the road.
"Well, the capital of Qingzhou is as big as our two counties in Changping County, and the prices are also expensive." Cao Mingzhu said with a smile: "A small house for two people costs more than two hundred taels of silver."
"Sure enough, in a first-tier developed city, every inch of land is precious." Su Liu said as he looked at the people carrying a load into the city.
"What?"
Su Liu smiled and did not explain, but looked at the ancients coming and going with interest. This was truly ancient times. After leaving Dayao Village, she was traveling.
"Miss."
Someone knocked on the car door, and Cao Mingzhu's maid Yu'er opened the door, but it was Zhong Cainiang who sent another maid to ask how long it would take before she could enter the city. She was feeling a little bad.
"Go back to her and come in immediately." Su Liu said lightly.
After the little maid left, Cao Mingzhu asked, "What's going on? I think Miss Zhong seems to have some interest in Ning Guang."
Su Liu lowered his eyes and said, "It's just like what you saw."
This time when we came to Fucheng, Zhong Cainiang also came with her. She was sitting in the carriage at the back. She probably couldn't sit in the carriage. She felt dizzy along the way. She vomited many times, but she endured it.
When Su Liu heard about her situation, she sneered. She really didn't miss any opportunity. She would follow Ning Guang wherever he went.
"Then you are still so calm?" Cao Mingzhu frowned.
Su Liu raised his head and smiled, saying: "Otherwise, how can I tell her not to follow? Sister Cao, she is Ning Guang's adopted sister."
"Sister-in-law?" Cao Mingzhu was stunned, pursed her lips, and said, "Even if Ning Guang doesn't have that intention, don't be careless. I think she doesn't just think of him as a foster-brother. Maybe you grew up in the village.
I don’t know, let me tell you, there are endless scandals in this backyard, you have to be careful, because once she and Ning Guang get involved, Ning Guang will have no choice but to accept it."
Su Liu was slightly startled, his eyes a little cold, and said: "If she is really shameless, I don't mind letting her humiliate herself."
If Zhong Cainiang really has such thoughts, she will definitely make her regret it.
Da da da da, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and soon, a girl came to report that Song Fei had brought someone to pick her up.
Cao Mingzhu's eyes were slightly bright, and she wanted to see out, but she felt ashamed. She bit her lip and wanted to see but didn't dare to look.
Seeing her smile like this, Su Liu winked and said teasingly: "Maybe I couldn't wait any longer and came to pick her up in person." He then opened the car curtain.
Cao Mingzhu's pretty face turned red, and she glared at her angrily. She took advantage of the car curtain to look out, and happened to meet Song Fei's eyes. There was a thud in her heart, and she hurriedly looked away, her face burning and red.
Drops of blood.
Su Li giggled, nodded to Song Fei as a greeting, and then lowered the curtain.
After all, this is a capital city, and there are many officials and nobles. Every move must be done in a orderly manner, so as not to fall into the eyes of interested people and make things worse.
Outside the car, Song Fei and Ning Guang said a few words. After a while, the carriage started to move. They must have taken advantage of their privilege to enter the city first.
Su Liu sighed, there are people above who are easy to do things, this is true, it is the same everywhere, no wonder people in ancient and modern times want to be officials, this power is so easy to use!
The Cao family has a four-bedroom house in Fucheng. According to Su Liu's plan, they wanted to live in an inn, but Cao Kui strongly invited them to live together in the Cao family's house, which was also convenient. He couldn't bear the enthusiasm, so he had to agree.
Already.
Song Fei sent them to the Cao Mansion, and said that he would hold a banquet at Yipinlou to wash away their dust, and tomorrow, he would invite them to the magistrate's house as guests.
The male guests, including half-year-old children like Chen Ye, lived in the front yard, while the female family members lived in the inner house. Su Liu and Cao Mingzhu lived in Yutang Court, while Mrs. Chen and Su Xiaozhong Cainiang lived in Songxiang Courtyard.
When Su Liu came to Fucheng this time, she brought two girls, Bing Cha and Ya'er, with her. Because there were many people there, Su Xiao was also wary of Zhong Cainiang, so she sent the two girls there to wait on her and take a look.
Following Zhong Cainiang's actions, he used the girl from the Cao Mansion.
"I'm really shameless when I live in your house and call your girls around." After everyone freshened up, Su Liu sat in Cao Mingzhu's room and said apologetically.
They live in the same courtyard and the houses are adjacent, making it easy to talk.
"What, you're still seeing me?" Cao Mingzhu pretended to be displeased and said, "But you do have a few girls, and you have a lot of women in your family. Even two girls are not enough for one person. Why?
You only have two girls to serve the whole family. Otherwise, I will send some girls to you to serve you later?"
"No! We live in a village and don't have many things to do. We have been used to doing things by ourselves since we were young. We are not so delicate yet." Su Liu is not that shameless. Even if he wants to add another girl, he won't do it.
You have to buy it yourself.
It's not that she can't trust Cao Mingzhu, nor that she thinks Cao Mingzhu can help their family, but that the Cao family's servants are familiar with each other, and she probably won't be happy to go to the Su Liu family again. After all, the Cao family is also rich, and even the master usually fights.
How can I be willing to live in a village even if the reward is huge?
Therefore, even if she wanted to add someone to her family, she would go to Renyaozi to buy it.
"That being said, it's still a little less. Not to mention that you will have many people to deal with when you get married. Even in the New Year, when you run that donkey-hide gelatin workshop, you have to bring people with you, right? Is it possible that you still do everything yourself?
It's not that you have to put on a show, your family will definitely get better and better. It's better for the people who call you to be disciplined early. Apart from other things, your brother Ye also needs a boy to serve him by his side when he is studying.
.”
Su Liu knew that Cao Mingzhu was teaching her, so he smiled and said: "I know, when I go back here, I will buy a few more girls and servants, and they will be served by groups of servants, okay?"
Cao Mingzhu clicked her tongue, slapped her, and lowered her voice: "Actually, the most important thing is that if you have two more girls, you will have two more pairs of eyes and ears. Do you understand?" She went to the Songxiang Courtyard.
Pointed in the direction.
Su Liu nodded, narrowed his eyes, and considered Cao Mingzhu's words carefully.
Although Ning Guang didn't say it, Su Liu knew that Ning Guang would not be content with being ordinary. One day he would return to his own world, and she would definitely have to follow him.
In a big family, there are many people, and there are many disputes. If she does not have a capable confidant, she will be helpless and passive if she wants to inquire about something in the future.
A confidant assistant cannot be cultivated in a short time. To be agile, smart and steady, one must be cultivated early. In this way, with her own manpower, if she comes to Ning Guang's home in the future, she will not have no one to use.
.
Therefore, no matter how low-key she wants to be, for the long-term plan, she really has to start cultivating capable manpower from now on, and this is also a precautionary measure.
"Don't worry, I've been thinking about it here." Su Liu held Cao Mingzhu's hand and said sincerely: "Thank you, sister."
It is not easy to have a close friend in life, and Cao Mingzhu also sincerely plans for her, so she is grateful.
"You are smart, I am worrying for nothing, I don't even have a scale for my own affairs!" Cao Mingzhu clapped her hand back and laughed at herself.
Su Liu saw the uncontrollable sadness in her eyes and knew that she was worried about visiting the prefect's house tomorrow.
As for tomorrow's banquet, if my guess is correct, it is estimated that the prefect knew Ning Guang's identity and specially invited it. It will not be a Hongmen banquet.
"Don't worry too much. Didn't Song Fei say that the prefect's wife is an easy-going person?" Su Liu comforted her.
Cao Mingzhu bit her lip and said: "After all, I am just a merchant's daughter. No matter how easy-going the prefect's wife is, can she really accept a merchant girl as her daughter-in-law? Sister Liu, I..."
"You are really upset." Su Liu sighed and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, believe him, eh? If he can't win it, then he won't be worth your infatuation, right? That's it.
It’s okay if you don’t want it!”
Cao Mingzhu forced a smile, but the worry in her eyes could not be eliminated.
Su Liu didn't know how to comfort him. The ancients paid most attention to family background, and businessmen were ranked at the bottom. They were not even farmers for generations. After all, if a promising child of these farmers passed the imperial examination, they would be better off in college.
It can be said that they are a noble family, but businessmen really smell like copper.
Therefore, she couldn't say what the outcome of Cao Mingzhu and Song Fei would be. Even she didn't know what the future would be like. She could divorce her after they got married. If the Marquis of Guangning was dissatisfied with her background,
If Ning Guang regrets the marriage and divorces his wife, what should she do?
It was really the feudal ancient times where people sought death. Su Liu cursed in her heart. If this was the case, she would never be divorced even if she fought for reconciliation.
I went out for the day today and I feel so dizzy. I came back to catch up on the manuscript. I’m late. Sorry~ Do you want to see Mo Zhenrong? Go check out my Weibo, cough cough~
