Chapter 81 They Are Different
"We have already thoroughly investigated the Su family's background and there is nothing wrong with it. As for He Yanxiu's unusual behavior...
"After all, he is a young man, full of vigor and vitality. It is normal for him to think about it." He Yande disagreed, "But you reminded me that He Yanxiu didn't have this problem before, but now he has it, which can give him more headaches."
"Why, you want to cause trouble for Su?" Fang raised her eyebrows, "It seems that your methods are not much better than those of me, a woman."
"Why do I need to send someone there myself? There are plenty of guns in the capital city that I can use. I will definitely not be like you, who let people say bad things about He Yanxiu and got caught red-handed."
He Yande's sneer made Fang's face turn red.
Fang couldn't help stamping her feet. She was so angry that she simply didn't go back with He Yande. She just called the maid to come over and sat in the garden.
"Master, do you want to go back to the courtyard or look for the young lady?" asked the servant beside him.
"Let's go to the study." He Yande said, "Some matters from the New Year have not been dealt with yet. I'll go take a look later."
"Master is really diligent." The servant praised.
He Yande smiled.
There was some bitterness and coldness in the smile.
You have to be diligent.
If he doesn't work harder and make achievements in the future, will he still have a place in this family? Even the old lady said that he and He Yanxiu are different.
When official positions were assigned, he was assigned to the Ministry of Works among the lower three ministries, while He Yanxiu was entrusted with an important task in the Ministry of Revenue among the upper three ministries.
He was originally the eldest son of the He family and the eldest grandson of the entire He family. However, because his parents died early, he had no one to protect him. He Yanxiu, whose parents were healthy, became the favorite of the whole family. He Yanxiu also had a maternal family with a prominent family background...
Although He Yande's grandfather was also a prefect, he was not as good as the Lu family.
When others mentioned the descendants of the He family, the first person they thought of was He Yanxiu. How could they still think of He Yande, the eldest grandson? Haha...
He Yande lowered his eyes and walked forward. ——After lunch, when He Yanxiu drank the medicine, Su Yujin gave him acupuncture as usual.
He Yanxiu didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, so Su Yujin didn't rush him. She just made white tea for him to drink while he was waiting after giving him acupuncture.
White tea is cool in nature, but in order to resist the severe cold in winter, most people will eat warm food, wear thick clothes, and even burn hot earthworms in the house, which can easily cause people to get angry. Drinking white tea, which is cool in nature, is less likely to cause problems.
The same principle applies to eating radishes in winter and ginger in summer.
Drinking tea alone would naturally be a bit boring, so Su Yujin took out some food she had made, including sugar-roasted chestnuts, fish skin peanuts, amber walnut kernels, and roasted pine nuts, and asked He Yanxiu to eat them.
He Yanxiu had silver needles on both wrists. He would occasionally take a peanut or walnut kernel, but the force was not too strong and he could chew it for a long time after swallowing it. It was nothing, but this tea...
I can't hold the teacup.
It seemed a little awkward to let Su Yujin feed him tea.
If Xing'an were to come...
That's even more awkward!
Just when He Yanxiu was worrying about this, Su Yujin took out a long tube.
He put one end of the tube into the teacup and bit the other end in his mouth. With a "slurp", a big mouthful of tea went into his stomach.
Su Yujin finished the demonstration and placed the other tube into the teacup in front of He Yanxiu. "Second Master, would you like to try it?"
The tube was very long, and He Yanxiu could drink enough tea by just leaning forward slightly.
"This thing..." He Yanxiu observed it for a while, "It looks a bit like a green tube cup."
The so-called Bitong cup, from a modern perspective, is the ancestor of the ancient straw cup.
The cup is made into the shape of a lotus leaf, with a hole in the inner bottom, a lotus leaf stem extending from the outer bottom or side, and a hollow middle. You can drink tea or cold drinks in the cup through the large mouth of the lotus leaf stem.
Later, similar suction cups, whether in the shape of lotus leaves, lotus flowers, or peony flowers, were all collectively called "Bi Tube Cups."
"It's not as complicated as the green tube cup. It's just made of neat and strong wheat straws in the summer, soaked in salt water and dried, and made into simple straws for convenience."
It is definitely not as good as the Bitong Cup, which requires skilled craftsmen to carve it meticulously.
"Although it is simple, it is practical." He Yanxiu thought that this straw was very useful and interesting. After a while, he drank up all the tea.
Su Yujin added some new tea to his cup.
After drinking half a cup of tea this time, He Yanxiu didn't dare to eat anymore.
If you eat too much, you may have to go to the bathroom.
This situation is extremely inconvenient now.
Su Yujin saw what he was thinking, so she stopped trying to persuade him and started talking about other topics.
But most of the time it was Su Yujin who was talking and He Yanxiu who was listening.
For example, the new dishes served at Huibinlou recently.
The theatre had performed The Legend of the White Snake a few years ago, which was about the story of Liu Bang beheading a snake and starting an uprising. However, Su Yujin did not have time to watch both performances properly, which was a bit regrettable.
I wanted to build a vegetable shed in the yard to grow some off-season vegetables or mushrooms, but the yard was too small and there was really no room for it, so I had to give up...
When He Yanxiu heard this, he interrupted and said, "Actually, this is not difficult. There are plenty of places on the farm where we can build vegetable sheds."
Su Yujin sighed, "Yeah."
How could she not know this? It's just that the money earned by Huibinlou and Suji every month is not small, but if she wants to buy a farm, it is still far from enough. She can only save it month by month and see if she can save enough by next autumn, or see if there are other ways to make money and expand the business.
"My family has another farm in the suburbs of Beijing. It's not far from Qinghe. Although the farm is not big, it is enough for these things. If you want to do it, you can go and take a look in the spring."
When the time comes, he can just give the orders in advance.
Go to the He family’s farm.
Su Yujin waved her hand without even thinking, "Second Master, it's good intention, but it's really not necessary..."
He Yanxiu was using her as a shield right now. He probably thought that this shield was well-behaved and obedient, and he could use it very easily.
This person has always been like this. Whether it's something he likes or a person, he is unwilling to change them casually.
Who knows, He Yanxiu might be the same, so he even let her go to his family's farm, wanting others to know that she was his mistress? By the way, he could also clear his name.
However, she was unwilling to be a mistress for the rest of her life.
In the future, I will fly far away, and my goal is the sea of stars.
The more she gets involved with anyone or anything in the He family except He Yanxiu, the more disadvantageous it will be for her in the future...
The person has died...
