Chapter 120 Everything is getting better
"Miss Su, since you have important matters to attend to at home, please wait until matters ease up a little and report back to the general in a few days."
Chu Zhao came to convey Xie Xuan's news, but said there was no need to rush, which made Su Shengsheng confused.
Is this matter extremely urgent or unimportant?
Could it be that the general has learned about what she did this morning?
Just as her heart was filled with doubts, Chu Zhao had already bowed and left...
However, Jiao, who was standing behind Su Shengsheng, had a look of deep worry on her face.
This morning, the old man received a letter from General Zhang in the north, saying that he would come to visit in person...
She always felt that there was some unclear connection here.
Jiao glanced at Su Shengsheng, who looked bewildered, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Since the general is busy, you go and take a look. Your mother and I are taking care of the family."
Su Shengsheng sighed softly, "I guess it's not a big deal."
She was always busy with business, which led her family to misunderstand that she valued money.
Since Chu Zhao said that it’s okay to delay for a few days, I guess he just wants to hear about the progress of the work.
When Jiao saw Su Shengsheng finished speaking, she turned and went into the house. She hesitated for a moment and finally did not say anything.
Inside the house, Su Jingshan had been sleeping for two hours and just woke up at this moment.
Knowing that Su Shengsheng had gone to get the money to bribe people, he was very angry with himself and blamed himself for being incompetent, which led to his daughter being coerced.
When Su Shengsheng saw that her father refused to drink the chicken soup that her seventh sister had cooked for a long time, she knew that he still felt guilty.
She took the bowl of soup from her seventh sister, blew on it gently, and passed it to her father's lips. "Don't worry, father. They want to make money from you, but I'm afraid they are still a little naive. Just wait and see, in a few days, they will definitely come to ask for your help."
When Su Jingshan heard this, he was shocked, wondering what big thing his daughter was secretly planning.
Seeing her father's look of surprise and doubt, Su Shengsheng whispered in his ear and quietly told him the plan.
Su Jingshan's dim pupils gradually widened, as if he had been shaken by an earthquake.
"Really?"
Su Shengsheng laughed and said, "How could it be false? Father will know in a few days."
Seeing that Su Jingshan finally had a smile on his face, Li Shi also stopped crying, "What are you two talking about in secret?"
"secret."
"secret."
The father and daughter said this in unison, looked at each other and smiled, enjoying themselves.
Su Jingshan seemed to have resolved his worries and asked for soup without even a spoon, letting Su Shengsheng feed him the whole bowl mouthful by mouthful.
…
On the other side, at the mine, the smile on Cui Chong's face had not yet faded when it was frozen by the sound of the stop call from the furnace.
"They're almost burying us alive. Stop transporting us!"
Cui Chong looked at the mountains of ore outside the furnace, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered a sentence.
If you want to make money from unscrupulous businessmen, you will have to wait until the sun rises in the west.
At this time, the Su family also brought food, which was cooked just right.
Seeing Cui Chong looking up at the sky, his subordinates couldn't help but say angrily: "I didn't expect that the Su family still had a trick up their sleeve."
The mining speed there has increased, but the export cannot keep up. Isn't this a waste of time?
He didn't believe that Su Shengsheng hadn't thought of this!
Looking at the prisoners happily queuing up for food, including the six instigators, Cui Chong seemed to have found an outlet for his anger.
"Go, send those people to the furnace to work!"
The subordinates understood without saying much and immediately sent the people in to work.
Still want to eat Su's family's food, what a blind thing.
The hungry men were taken to the furnace and saw people outside chewing pieces of meat with big mouthfuls, their faces full of resentment.
Unfortunately, Su Deyong just woke up at this time.
Seeing six people standing beside the blazing furnace, staring at him fiercely, he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted again.
…
Two days later, Ji Yanli was able to remove the splint, and Su Shengsheng took time out from her busy schedule to review the test results.
Although Tang Zheng was responsible for receiving the successful bidders, she still had to personally check many details.
She decided to wait until everything was settled before reporting to General Xie.
This time, my grandfather also came to visit Ji Yanli.
I felt relieved when I heard Bai Shuo say that his leg bones had healed well and that he would be fine as long as he didn't bear any weight.
"Sixth sister, I'm going to see Mr. Bai off."
When Su Shengsheng was about to send the doctor, her fourth sister, who had come with her mother to give the stew to Master Ji, called her back.
"Okay." Su Shengsheng was just about to prepare the things needed for the written test, so she didn't refuse.
Su Nianwei smiled and took the medical fee from Bai Shuo and saw him out.
As Su Shengsheng and Yanshu prepared their writing materials, Grandfather chatted with Ji Yanli, "Sheng's business has spread to Northern Xinjiang. Even General Zhang knows about the thermal fabric and has written to us about purchasing some for the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang!"
His tone was full of pride, but when he looked at the lonely Ji Yanli, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
Brother Ji is about to go to the capital to take the imperial examination. When Old Master Su thinks that such a good granddaughter is about to lose such a perfect husband, he feels a little reluctant to let go.
He looked at Su Shengsheng who was busy at the side, then turned his gaze back to the handsome and elegant Ji Yanli, and couldn't help but sigh.
Then he said, "Sheng girl, Grandfather is a little thirsty. Go to the kitchen and get some water. Grandfather is not used to the tea here."
When Su Shengsheng heard that her grandfather was thirsty, she put down her work and said, "Granddaughter will go right away."
She was used to doing everything herself at home and didn't find this strange.
Yanshu understood instantly that Mr. Su was intentionally sending Miss Su away so that he could talk to the young master alone.
So after Su Shengsheng left, he also waited outside the door.
He saw the young master's feelings for Miss Su. The Su family never mentioned the marriage again, which must be because they knew Miss Su's feelings.
Seeing Mr. Su's awkward expression, Ji Yanli hesitated to speak. Not wanting to embarrass Mr. Su, he changed the subject and said, "Opening a school is indeed a good deed..."
Just now, Mr. Su mentioned that the Su family wanted to open a school. I think Miss Su wanted to cheer up the Su family.
Everyone in the Su family is well-educated. This time, the young master of the Ningguo Mansion has made a name for himself, and there is an endless stream of students coming to study there.
Old Master Su mentioned this matter in order to test whether the two still had a chance.
If the Ji family minds the Su family doing business, the Su family can also make a living by teaching and educating people in the future.
But when the words were on the tip of my tongue, I felt a little reluctant when I thought about the situation that my granddaughter had finally managed to change.
"Yes. My daughters-in-law also want to expand their embroidery studios, and they are currently working hard to make the fabrics. They wanted to take advantage of your trip to the capital to ship all the fabrics over..."
One by one, no one knew what was going on, the men had to open schools, and the women had to recruit more embroiderers and buy shops.
Everyone is busy every day, leaving him alone with some free time.
Seeing Old Master Su's melancholy expression, Ji Yanli couldn't help but say, "Miss Su is a wise businessman and not a fool. The wheat is already in ear, and when the harvest comes, it will surely benefit all the people."
When Old Master Su heard this, his eyes moved between Ji Yanli's eyebrows for a moment, but he finally said nothing.
"The Su family has established a firm foothold here. When you return home, tell your grandfather that everything is fine here and tell him not to worry."
Ji Yanli's eyes moved slightly, and his expression dimmed for a moment, "Yes, I will definitely convey this message."
