Chapter 199: A perfect match for your niece
Wang Zhong chuckled, "Mr. Su is too modest."
After saying this, he said goodbye to Old Man Su and his family.
Since we are almost at the village entrance, with so many people from the Su family, they will definitely not get on the car.
So Zhao Wu drove away in his carriage.
The Su family walked home talking and laughing.
Along the way, whenever they met villagers, they would greet Old Man Su and his family.
Especially when everyone saw Su Laowu, they all showed respect.
After all, there is only one living scholar in the entire Daliushu Village.
"Brother Su, where are you going?"
"I went to the county town for a walk."
"Oh, isn't this the scholar?"
"Hello, Third Aunt."
…
Su Xiaoliu touched his head and said with some envy: "Fifth brother is so impressive..."
Su Lao Er put his arm around Su Xiao Liu's shoulders and said, "When you become a general, you will definitely be even more powerful."
Su Xiaoliu's eyes lit up, "Yes! By then I will be wearing a battle robe, riding a tall horse, carrying a sword and a spear..."
Su Xiaoliu began to draw a heroic portrait of himself.
Su Laoer immediately let go of Su Xiaoliu and stayed away from him.
His ears are almost callused from listening so much.
Su Laowu looked at Old Man Su and asked, "Dad, you and Mom are going to the county town, right..."
"Old Five, let's talk about this when we get home." Old man Su waved his hand with a flushed face, and the corners of his mouth curled up to his ears.
"Yes." Su Laowu agreed, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He looked at his father's expression, as if there was some great joy to be had.
I was so happy that I could hardly stop smiling.
Su Xiaoliu felt a little unsatisfied as he no longer had an audience.
I secretly decided to tell my sister's younger brothers about it some other day.
"Fifth brother, was that person just now Sister Sanni?" Su Xiaoliu remembered the situation when he just met Su Laowu and couldn't help but ask.
Su Laowu nodded, "It's Sister Sanni."
Su Xiaoliu thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Sister Sanni used to play behind you... Oh, Fifth Brother, you saved her life when you were little, and ever since then, she's been following you around every day..."
Su Laowu seemed to recall the past as well, and said with a smile, "At that time, she accidentally fell into the water. I was just a child, and in order to save her, I almost drowned myself. She must have been frightened, so she liked to follow me afterwards. However, since I went to town, I haven't seen her many times..."
When Su Laowu said this, he suddenly stopped.
We were all children back then, so it was okay to say these things.
Things will be different in the future.
After all, there are differences between men and women.
It is absolutely inappropriate to say these words again.
He is really confused and has wasted all these years of studying.
Su Laowu secretly blamed himself.
"Xiao Liu, don't say those words again." Su Laowu warned.
"Why, Fifth Brother?" Su Xiaoliu was puzzled. "Why can't I say this?"
"Xiao Liu, listen to your fifth brother," said Old Madam Su. "How can you keep mentioning a favor you've done to others? You don't want people to think you're trying to force someone to repay you."
Su Xiaoliu, "...Oh."
not understand.
Old Madam Su glanced at Su Laowu and said meaningfully, "Xiao Liu, you must remember that if you have done a favor for others, you cannot keep talking about it. Otherwise, people will think that you are blackmailing them into repaying the favor."
Su Xiaoliu understood this time.
"I know, mother."
Old Mrs. Su nodded and looked at Su Laowu again.
After Su Laowu was looked at by my mother, he suddenly felt guilty.
County town, the back house of the county government office.
"Master, where did the Su family get so much money?"
Ye finally asked the question that had been in her mind for a long time and almost suffocated her.
After all, it was a big house worth more than one thousand taels of silver.
The Su family actually said they would buy it, so they bought it.
She originally thought that the Su family would just buy a small courtyard in the county town.
Little did they know that the Su family was so generous.
Even for her, it was not easy to come up with such a large sum of money to buy a house.
After hearing his wife's words, County Magistrate Zheng said with emotion: "The Su family has a lucky girl, isn't it easy to ask for money?"
Ye said puzzledly: "Even if Fu Ya is blessed, it won't turn into silver, right?"
"Why can't it turn into silver?" County Magistrate Zheng said, "Just dig up a few radishes in the mountains, and silver will appear."
Ye, “…”
Why don’t you understand?
"Master, how much is a radish worth?" Ye said unhappily, feeling that her master was making fun of her.
"Radishes are worthless, but what about ginseng?" County Magistrate Zheng said righteously.
He felt a pang in his heart when he thought of the Su family selling ginseng like radish.
Ye was shocked.
"Master, are you saying... Fu Ya dug ginseng? Then, with so much silver, how much ginseng did she dig?"
At this time, County Magistrate Zheng had a stomach full of lemonade and was in no hurry to answer. Instead, he sat on a large carved wooden chair, picked up the teacup, and slowly took a sip.
Then, he slowly said, "You don't need to dig too much. As long as you dig up old mountain ginseng that is old enough, one piece can be worth a thousand gold coins."
After saying that, he thought of Wang Zhong again.
Then he added, "Plus, if someone is willing to pay a high price for it, then the silver will be as much as you want."
At this time, Ye also heard the jealousy in her master's words.
However, she felt that there was another meaning in her master's words.
"Master, what do you mean..." Ye asked tentatively.
County Magistrate Zheng put down his teacup, waved his hand, and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You just need to know that you must be on good terms with the Su family in the future."
"Do I need to tell you that?" Ye said, "I also like Fuya from the bottom of my heart. When Zheng'er marries her, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter."
Such a blessed girl, if she becomes her daughter-in-law in the future, who knows how much blessing she will bring to their family.
What's more, this daughter-in-law already owns a big house.
By slowly accumulating this, when she grows up and gets married, her dowry will probably be more than that of a noble lady.
This girl is simply a golden baby.
Of course she has to take it to heart.
County Magistrate Zheng was not as optimistic as Ye.
He was a little unsure whether his son could marry Xiao Tangbao.
After all, Xiao Tangbao is now the village chief, not just an ordinary country girl.
What's more, there is that young master to protect her.
Although he was the county magistrate in Fengqi County, in the eyes of that young master, his official position was too low.
It will definitely not catch that gentleman's eye.
"I remember your niece from your mother's side is now of marriageable age..." County Magistrate Zheng said thoughtfully, "Write a letter and send someone to bring your niece over."
Ye asked puzzledly: "Master, you want to give Mingyan..."
"The fifth son of the Su family has outstanding looks and literary talent. He is now a scholar and is a perfect match for your niece." said County Magistrate Zheng.
