Just when Han Zeyu had eaten and drunk his fill and was about to take a nap in the carriage, his second cousin finally arrived.
The driver kept looking over here, but it was not easy to get too close, so he had to open his eyes wide and look carefully.
The aftereffect of opening your eyes too wide is that they are blinded by dust. This time, you can't open your eyes at all.
After blinking and rubbing his eyes for a long time, tears started to flow. Some of the dirt flowed out with the tears, and he was able to open his eyes at last. The driver quickly sent a signal for help to his companions.
He is really unlucky today. Whoever wants to earn the money in the future can do so. He is afraid that he will live to earn it but not to spend it.
The Han family, young and old, followed the mule cart back to the village, leaving only Han Ze'an, the errand boy. After finishing his work, he felt relieved and was about to walk back on his own when he heard that his cousin had arranged a "special car" for him. Han Ze'an felt flattered.
Han Zeyu smiled brightly. Whether you can take a special car back or run back with the special car depends on your personal ability.
Han Ze'an, who was incompetent but had a good temper, discussed with the donkey uncle for a long time. He didn't dare to think about riding the donkey, but he could always lead it back!
Menzi thought the boy was stupid and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but then he thought about the cruel human being and felt that it would be bad if he was caught by him. He might become the only donkey in the family to be served on the table.
Donkeys have a hard life, and they have experienced what it means to be entangled at such a young age. Why not go back with him to take a look? I heard that people in the countryside treat their large livestock as ancestors, and maybe it can also help them to improve their status.
We were walking on the dirt road back to the village, chatting and laughing. There were no outsiders around, so we talked about setting up stalls in the past two days. Although the costs have not been calculated yet, the profits are considerable, so it is definitely a good way to make money.
Everyone decided to go back and discuss it with the old lady and hear her opinion.
As soon as Han Zeyu returned to the Su Mansion, he turned into a complainer and rushed to the main courtyard to complain to the eldest lady.
"My husband can't drive and almost missed the exam. Before entering the examination room, he said he felt dizzy and nauseous. He must have been carsick. Where did he find a driver? He's really useless. Please give us some advice."
Mrs. Su Wang was delighted, but pretended to be troubled and said, "The driver is new and has no experience. Calm down. I will ask the steward to deduct his monthly salary later."
As soon as the word money was mentioned, the eldest young lady immediately became excited and spoke bitterly about Su Shien's stolen wallet.
Han Zeyu would glance at Su Wangshi after speaking a few words, then speak a few more words and look over again. This happened three or four times. Su Wangshi became confused. What was this man doing?
Han Zeyu is dissatisfied. I have already reminded you to this extent. You should give me some response!
The eldest lady has never worried about money since she was born, and she really didn't understand someone's hint.
At such times, the housekeeper had to step forward, bend down and whisper a few words. Only then did Mrs. Su Wang realize that the man had come to cry poor and beg for money.
But she didn't ask him to hand over the purse. A grown man couldn't even keep his money, and he still had the nerve to come to her and flirt with her.
At this time, Han Zeyu did not regard himself as a man. He was a fragile and sensitive boy. He only knew that if he lost his money, he had to find someone to bear his loss.
"How much did you say? He went to the Imperial Examination Hall to take an exam and left with a hundred taels of silver?" Mrs. Su was shocked. This was completely an exorbitant price. He took advantage of the fact that others didn't know the exact amount in the purse and asked for an exorbitant price.
Han Zeyu corrected him seriously: "It's a hundred taels of silver notes, not silver. Silver is too heavy to carry."
Su Wangshi seized on the loophole in the question and pressed the issue, "The eldest young master's monthly allowance is ten taels of silver. Where did he get the hundred taels of silver note?"
Han Zeyu shrugged as a matter of course: "Of course he saved it before, could it be that he saved it after he met me?"
Su Wangshi was furious: "You are still quite proud?"
Han Zeyu was not ashamed but proud of it, and said shamelessly: "If you like someone, you have to spend money on him. There are thousands of reasons to spend money on you, but there is only one reason not to spend money on you, and that is because I don't like you enough."
Mrs. Su Wang took a deep breath and reminded herself to stay calm. This prodigal boy was Su Shien's legitimate husband. Even if he had a headache, it should be Su Shien who had it. There was no need for her to bother with a country bumpkin.
"It was just a collision. Why do you need to pay so much compensation? It only costs two taels of silver to buy a servant. The young master's improper handling will cause additional financial losses."
Seeing Han Zeyu stand up indignantly, Su Wangshi changed the subject: "However, considering that Shi En is in a hurry to take the exam, and that the driver of the mansion is indeed not doing his job well, I will give him half of the subsidy from the official account. You can go to the accountant to get the money!"
"Oh, all right then. Thank you, Madam."
Han Zeyu thanked him reluctantly, and one could tell from his expression that he thought the money was too little.
After everyone left, Su Wangshi angrily threw the tea bowl and shouted, "Vulgar! Greedy!"
The head maid hurried over to pat the lady on the back, and the housekeeper also tried to comfort her: "You are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with a poor boy who has never seen the world. Just bear with it for a few more days. The master will be back soon."
Mrs. Su paused, frowned, and asked, "Why hasn't the master come back yet?"
The housekeeper's eyes flickered slightly as she replied, "Perhaps something delayed his trip. He will be back before the results are announced."
Su Wangshi nodded tiredly. She had never thought that one person could cause so much trouble. It would be better to separate them quickly, otherwise she would have white hair.
To the eldest lady, Han Zeyu was a terrifying existence. She didn't even want to look at him and was annoyed by hearing his name.
Comrade Han Zeyu, a young performing artist, has a very successful character creation. He went to the accounting office to withdraw a silver note of fifty taels. In his joy, he decided to reward himself by going back to his mother's home to stay for two days.
The next day, Su Yunzhu went to the main courtyard to talk to her mother. After a while, the maid brought tea and snacks. Su Yunzhu pointed at the mung bean cakes on the table and complained to her mother, "Mom, that country bumpkin acted like Su Shien and took away most of the cakes from the small kitchen."
Mrs. Su Wang tilted her head, signaling the housekeeper to reply.
"Yesterday afternoon, after the eldest young mistress left the main courtyard, she went directly to the accounting office to withdraw a banknote. This morning, after breakfast, she took a carriage back to her parents' home. She should have arrived at Yunshan Village by now."
She got a headache when she heard about this kind of shit. The housekeeper didn't mention it, but this debt collector came to tell her.
Mrs. Su Wang interrupted her daughter's complaints and said soothingly, "Why would a lady like you, a lady from a wealthy family, bother with a country bumpkin? Even if he's annoying, he won't bother you for long. Just stay away from him. You should focus on the Zhang family now. The old man's birthday is coming soon, so make good preparations."
Su Yunzhu blushed and nodded, saying that she was making good preparations.
Mrs. Su Wang nodded with satisfaction, saying that it was good enough as long as she was sensible.
