Chapter 485 Getting More and More Excited

When talking about Shen Yueyao's medical skills at this moment, Su Wanhua was still in shock.

She was amazed inwardly.

"You don't know, once she used acupuncture, I fell asleep and woke up feeling full of energy."

"I have a feeling, how can I put it?"

“It’s like being rejuvenated all of a sudden.”

"Really, that's the feeling, the feeling of being full of energy."

Su Wanhua excitedly shared this feeling with Dong Zhiye and couldn't help but talk to him a lot.

Dong Zhiye was also stunned when he saw Su Wanhua's expression.

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I'm really shocked.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed."

"I have to say, when I came back today and saw you, I felt that you looked much better than before, and you looked quite energetic."

"Also, your energy and vitality reminds me of when we were young."

When talking about his youth, Dong Zhiye also smiled.

At that time, Su Wanhua was lively and cheerful, full of energy, and often talked a lot with him.

He liked to hear her talk about all kinds of things.

He also liked to see her rich expressions.

Although Su Wanhua was a concubine's daughter of the Su family, she was the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. He was so happy that he could marry Su Wanhua.

Because she is so beautiful and kind, and also very pretty and smart, and every move she makes is so attractive to him.

After marrying Su Wanhua, he really told himself that he should treat her well and treasure her.

Perhaps because she grew up in a good environment, Su Wanhua has a good temperament.

After they got together, he was happy every day.

She took care of him in every possible way, and he felt very uncomfortable because he was ignored in the Dong family.

But with Wanhua, he felt at home.

No matter how busy he was every day and when he came back late, she would light a lamp for him and wait for him to come back.

When he was busy, he had no time to eat, so no matter how late it was, she would ask the kitchen to warm up his favorite meals.

It's really warm.

After they had a son, the whole family lived happily.

My son is also very smart and sensible.

Every day when he returns home and sees his wife and son, he feels all the fatigue in his body disappears and feels very motivated every day.

Of course, because of the status of the Su family at that time, no one in the Dong Mansion dared to disrespect Su Wanhua, nor did they dare to cause trouble for Su Wanhua.

Who would have thought that later the princes and nobles would fight fiercely for that position and internal strife would break out.

Later, the Su family was implicated and exiled.

Those people in the Dong family took advantage of the situation to force him.

When it comes to matters involving Su Wanhua, Dong Zhiye will definitely not hesitate.

Su Wanhua was the person he truly wanted to marry.

Even if he no longer serves as an official, even if he is kicked out of the family and expelled from the clan, he still wants to be with his wife and son.

Seeing that he had made up his mind and fearing that he would be implicated by the Su family, the Dong family held a clan meeting and invited the elders to witness the expulsion of him from the family.

It means that he will have nothing to do with the Dong family in the future.

At that time, he was like a stray dog, with not much money on him, but he would not look back.

At that time, many powerful people from local families came out to see what was happening, and when they heard the news, they were all waiting to laugh at him.

They thought he was crazy, being expelled from the clan for a woman.

But he knew what he wanted.

He knows what is most important to him.

Their son was still young at that time, but he was very sensible and didn't cry or make a fuss.

Later he became a county magistrate and lived in a remote county magistrate's residence with his wife and son.

Wan Hua was not in good health at that time, so he had to work as a county magistrate while taking care of Wan Hua.

Fortunately, my son is sensible and knows how to study and take care of his mother.

Although that time was difficult, the family was united.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and their family recovered.

Their family, along with the Su family, caught the emperor's eye.

The emperor knew about his achievements, and no one dared to suppress him anymore, so the emperor directly appointed him as prefect.

Even their son ranked very high in the palace examination and was admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

Not to mention that Wan Hua's health is getting better and better.

Now everyone says he was prescient.

Those who watched him laugh exclaimed that he was really smart.

Many people envy him for his rapid rise to fame.

He also said that he had made a wise choice at the beginning. Now that the Dong family has severed ties with him, they can no longer control him, and the elders of the Dong family cannot use their status as elders to threaten him.

He can do what he wants without any constraints.

There is also a Su family behind it.

Not to mention that his son is also a favorite of the emperor in the Hanlin Academy, and seems to be very promising and has a bright future.

Those who had oppressed him in the past used their connections to curry favor with him, fearing that he would hold a grudge against him.

It can be said that Dong Zhiye felt proud.

Even at their current age, Dong Zhiye's eyes were filled with affection when he looked at Su Wanhua.

Although it was dark at night, the moonlight was bright and shone into the house. Su Wanhua could clearly see Dong Zhiye's eyes.

Su Wanhua's heart was filled with ripples.

She said with a sour nose: "I'm sorry for the hard work you've done before."

"It's not hard. As long as our family is together, I feel at ease."

Dong Zhiye shook his head.

Dong Zhiye thought of something and said, "I've never asked you a question. With so many people of higher status than me back then, why did you choose me?"

Although Su Wanhua was born out of wedlock, the status of a concubine's daughter of the Duke's Mansion was not something that ordinary people could reach.

Not to mention that Su Wan was proficient in painting, chess, calligraphy and other arts at that time, and was carefully taught by the Duke's Mansion.

In addition, she has a good personality, is talented and beautiful, and is well-known, so many people want to marry her.

At that time, Dong Zhiye was very scared and a little inferior, fearing that he was not worthy of Su Wanhua.

Who would have thought that Su Wanhua agreed, and the Su family agreed.

He still remembers how he felt at that time.

Also because Su Wanhua was with him, when the Su family was in a good position during those years, the Dong family began to pay some attention to him.

Su Wanhua did not answer this question, but asked: "Why did you marry me then?"

At that time, others thought Dong Zhiye was very brave.

Dong Zhiye's face flushed. "You may not remember, but when I was young, I went to Beijing with my grandfather. I was humiliated at a poetry gathering, and it was you who came to my rescue."

Su Wanhua really didn't remember.

Perhaps because she grew up in the Duke's Mansion and had the support of her family, she was willing to stand up for justice when she encountered things she didn't like.

So she really didn't pay attention to some details.

Dong Zhiye continued, "I was thirteen years old that year. I was mediocre at school and didn't read much."

"It was also from that time that I went back and studied hard, waking up early and going to bed late. I didn't like going out to play horse racing or go shopping. I only wanted to pass the imperial examination so that I could have the chance to stand in front of you."

At that time, Dong Zhiye really put in the effort to study seriously.

Of course, he has two older brothers, and he tries to keep a low profile while studying, so others can't notice anything.

It was only after he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi that the family was shocked.

Then after he finished his exam, he met Su Wanhua at a poetry conference in Beijing.

Dong Zhiye was nineteen years old at that time.

When he was fifteen years old and just a scholar, his family tried to find him a marriage partner, but he didn't want one at all.

He declined, saying that he wanted to study hard and gain a good academic degree first to bring honor to his family.

In fact, he had a goal in mind.

Su Wanhua was shocked when she heard this. "So you did this for me?"

Dong Zhiye smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could I study so hard? I don't really have much talent for studying."

"When I was little, I studied with the other children in my family. They learned faster than me and had higher talents than me. They understood the principles explained by the teacher more easily, and I was slower at memorizing."

"So later on, my grandparents thought I didn't have much talent for studying, so they just let me learn whatever I wanted."

"But later, I studied really hard. I'm slow at memorizing, so I'd spend an extra hour or two memorizing each day, and I'd eventually learn it. I'm not very good at writing, so I'd read more articles posted by the college book club, and write more..."

"Thinking about it now, I don't know how I managed to hold on back then."

He studied like that regardless of the weather.

At that time, I had a goal in mind and didn't feel it was hard.

Now that I think about it, if I let him study like that again, he might not be able to persist.

The feelings of youth are always so pure and passionate.

"If I hadn't met you, I might have been just an insignificant person. It was only after meeting you that I became what I am today, became a prefect, and was able to maintain the passionate dreams of my youth."

That is to be a high-ranking official, a good official who serves the people.

Now Dong Zhiye has understood a lot of things. One cannot become a good official just by wanting to be one, and one cannot be promoted just by having political achievements.

Only with a wise ruler and a clean court can one achieve his ambitions more easily.

"At that time, I still wanted to become an official, to go down in history, and to let you be his wife, so that we could live a comfortable life and no one would let you suffer any injustice."

Dong Zhiye has never talked about many things from his youth.

Now that their son has grown up and they are an old couple, their lives have improved and they are in a relaxed mood, so they can't help but talk about these past events.

Su Wanhua was touched when she heard this.

When the Dong family first asked Dong Zhiye to divorce her, the Su family was exiled and she was in a very bad mental state.

She was also afraid that Dong Zhiye would obey the family's arrangements.

Because at that time, doing so would indeed be good for Dong Zhiye, as he wouldn't be implicated by the Su family.

There was no need to arouse suspicion from the emperor at that time.

But he didn't, he firmly chose her and his son.

He knelt down and begged the Dong family for her, and they gave up everything for him.

Just to protect her with his shoulders.

The time when he was the county magistrate was actually quite hard. He always saved the best things for her and kept everything he had to eat and use for her.

He himself is very careful and eats very simply.

Even if there is something delicious, he will say he doesn’t like it, or that he has already eaten with his colleagues.

She was not in a very good mental state at that time and didn't care about so many things.

Thinking about it now, I just feel sad and swollen.

She choked up and said, "Thank you."

"Silly, we are already an old married couple, and you still say thank you."

"I just think you're great."

"Actually, my grandfather and father asked me about this back then. There are many people with better family backgrounds, abilities, and looks than you, but I just feel that you are the most sincere to me."

"Others may think I'm good because of my family background, but the things they give me are actually bought by people below them."

"But the only things you sent me were the ones I knew you made yourself. Even if you sent me food, it was cooked according to my taste."

Su Wanhua knows a lot of details.

It is precisely because she knows this that Su Wanhua feels that Dong Zhiye cares most about her.

And she also has a good impression of him.

When people give me snacks as gifts, I always buy her the ones that taste the best.

Only Dong Zhiye cooked according to her taste.

Dong Zhiye smiled and said, "I met some people through poetry gatherings at that time, and also met Mr. Su, and I asked about your preferences in a tactful way."

At that time, the Second Young Master Su was still young, a little boy.

Speaking of the former second son of the Su family, Dong Zhiye felt a little uncomfortable.

Su Wanhua's eyes suddenly turned red. "The second son is not in good health and cannot practice martial arts. He can only study and take the imperial examination."

"The second son's wife is also very good."

"But fortunately, Ruoyun is doing well and has been well educated by Yao Niang. Seeing her lively, cheerful and confident appearance, I am also very happy."

Dong Zhiye sighed, "I think Xueyi is a really good wife. I've met so many people, but I feel that the daughters of the aristocratic families in the capital don't have that kind of temperament and style."

"To be disrespectful, even a princess can't compare to her."

Su Wanhua said proudly, "That's right. My sister-in-law wrote to me and said that although the Su family was exiled, the biggest gain after the exile was that Xue Yi married Yao Niang. This child is really a blessing for the Su family."

When talking about some things, Su Wanhua always felt a sense of fear.

She looked at Dong Zhiye and said seriously, "You don't know. My sister-in-law said that she almost died. Xueyi's leg was broken because of a jealous classmate's frame-up. The doctors couldn't help her. Not to mention Ruoqing and Ruoyun's situation."

"At that time, my sister-in-law said she couldn't even imagine returning to the capital. We couldn't even get enough to eat."

Speaking of this, Su Wanhua still felt sad.

"But fortunately, Yao Niang healed her body and nursed her back to health. She also healed Xue Yi's leg, not to mention that Ruo Qing's life was also saved by Yao Niang..."

"It can be said that the Su family was able to return to the capital thanks to Yao Niang."

"You also know how much money it costs to go to the capital to take the exam. Without the money, Xueyi would not be able to go to the capital to take the exam."

"So, now the Su family is actually headed by Yao Niang, and my sister-in-law listens to Yao Niang's arrangements for everything."

"Ruoyun is particularly close to Yao Niang. I can see it in the past two days."

"And Yao Niang's wisdom is extraordinary."

Su Wanhua is also a woman, but she admires Yao Niang from the bottom of her heart.

Dong Zhiye was even more shocked. "Hearing you say that, I don't think you're an ordinary woman anymore."

Su Wanhua said: "It's not from the mortal world, could it be an immortal?"

At this point, Su Wanhua was stunned. "Can it be true? Yao Niang knows everything. Could it be that she is here to save the Su family and the Great Yan Dynasty?"

The more Su Wanhua thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

She said excitedly: "You don't know, talking to Yao Niang, I always feel inspired and can learn a lot."

"She also shared some of her methods of farming and business ideas, which I benefited a lot from listening to."

"I've opened a lot of shops recently, so I'd like to ask Yao Niang for advice on how to run a shop better."

Su Wanhua opened a rouge and powder shop and an embroidery shop selling clothes and embroidery.

Other stores haven’t opened yet, and she hasn’t figured out what kind of store to open yet.

"I think Yao Niang knows a lot, so it's always right to listen to her."

Dong Zhiye was also shocked at this time.

"Xueyi gave me some potato and sweet potato seeds so that I can plant them on my farm now. When I have enough, I will promote them in Liuzhou. These two seeds can be planted twice a year, and the yield per mu of land is over 1,000 kilograms."

"Even if nothing else happens, my political achievements will be secure by resolving the Black Panther Gang issue and providing food."

Suddenly, Dong Zhiye no longer felt any pressure.

The shock in his heart could no longer be described.

Su Wanhua sat up excitedly, "You said, we don't know how to thank Xue Yi and Yao Niang."

Dong Zhiye continued, "There's also Pinyin. Xueyi told me that I could promote it at the college in Liuzhou. I could organize some people to write children's books and annotate them with Pinyin. That way, even students from poor families can learn to read and understand books through Pinyin."

When talking about this, Dong Zhiye's heart was filled with passion.

"Xueyi also told me that if we want Liuzhou to develop, we need to enable more people in Liuzhou to read and learn a skill."

"Even farming has its own rules, like how to plow the land, how to plant crops, and how to maintain the land to get higher crop yields. There are rules for that..."

Anyway, he discussed and learned a lot with Su Xueyi in the study.

If it wasn't so late and he needed to rest, he would have wanted to continue discussing it.

"Xue Yi's knowledge is so profound. Now I understand why the emperor values ​​him so much and trusts him so much."

The more I talked to Su Xueyi, the more excited I became.
