Chapter 14 Moving to Qinghe Town
She turned her gaze back to Wang Xiucai, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she refused:
"Thank you Aunt Wang for your kindness. My niece's family has saved a lot over the years, which is enough for her to study in the future."
"Su Yuan is already extremely grateful to you for accepting me as your student, so how can I not pay you a tuition fee?"
After that, she turned to Feng Wan and asked:
"Uncle, how much money do I need for my tuition? Please tell me the number. I happened to have brought money with me today. After I pay the tuition, I will feel relieved."
Feng Wan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said:
"The tuition for one quarter is one tael and eight cents. Since you started school late, you can pay only one tael and five cents."
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Zhixing's face and found that she was not angry, so he felt relieved.
"good."
Su Yuan took out some silver from his sleeve, placed one tael and five coins on the table, and stood up to say goodbye:
"Aunt Wang, since my niece has confirmed that she will enroll in Baichuan Academy tomorrow, I will take my leave now."
"I'll go back and prepare to move to town. It's really inconvenient if I continue to live in the village."
When Wang Zhixing heard that she had already made a plan, he thought to himself, this girl is really quick and has her own ideas.
She sighed and said with emotion:
"Okay, be careful on the road. Since you insist on giving the money, Aunt Wang will accept it."
"If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask, Auntie Wang will help you in any way she can."
Su Yuan curled his lips slightly and chuckled:
"Okay, niece got it."
After saying this, Su Yuan politely bowed to Mr. Wang, declined her offer to see him off, and turned to leave.
In Qinghe street market.
There are cars and horses everywhere, people are flowing, and the shouts of vendors can be heard one after another.
Su Yuan did not take the ox cart back to the village again.
He also went to a horse shop and bought a strong, tall horse and a carriage, spending a total of fifty-five taels of silver.
"drive."
After getting the carriage, Su Yuan drove away.
On the way back to the village, she also tried the horse's speed and feel. Except for being a little bumpy, everything else was fine.
The carriage she bought was quite large, and could carry all the things in the house at once. However, it seemed that there was not much to take, as the houses in the town were fully equipped with things.
At the gate of Su family courtyard.
Su Yuan parked the carriage, opened the door and walked in, and shouted to Su's father and Nan Chu in the room:
"Dad, Nanchu, I'm back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed open the door of the main room.
The two men in the room were busy packing up when they saw Su Yuan coming back.
Father Su greeted:
"Have you bought the carriage?"
"Hurry up and take the clothes and quilts that Nanchu and I packed into the car, as well as some small items. Just pack them up and we can set off for the town."
After saying this, he remembered that he hadn't asked the most important question yet, so he continued:
"Oh, by the way, have you met Mr. Wang? And have you decided on the private school?"
Nan Chu also stared at Su Yuan curiously, always concerned about the progress of the matter.
Su Yuan smiled complacently and raised his eyebrows:
"Of course. Not only did I meet Mr. Wang, she also tested my daughter's academic knowledge and said that with a little guidance, she would be able to achieve great things in the future. She also asked me to report to Baichuan Academy tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Su's father and Nan Chu were both excited and surprised.
The two of them quickened their movements at the same time, wishing it was tomorrow morning so that Su Yuan could go to school.
After the three of them finished packing, Su Yuan put all the things in the carriage, and then called Su's father and Nan Chu to get on the carriage.
Father Su stood in front of the carriage, first touched the horse's body, then moved closer to take a closer look at the carriage, his eyes full of satisfaction, and sighed:
"I never thought that one day I would be able to ride in this precious carriage. Dad is so happy just thinking about it. This carriage will belong to our family from now on."
Nan Chu was not as bold as Su's father. He just watched from a distance, afraid that the horse would kick him.
Although he didn't say it out loud, he was also very happy in his heart.
He had never ridden in a carriage before.
Seeing that the two of them were staring at the carriage stupidly, Su Yuan reminded them:
"Hurry up and get in the car. It's cold outside. And there's nothing to see just by looking at it. Come on in and experience it."
After saying that, she put the seat in place, first helped Su's father get into the car, and then pulled Nan Chu to help him get in.
After the two of them sat down, Su Yuan rode away.
On the way, Su Yuan felt bored and chatted with his father:
"Dad, I sold our two acres of land to the village head yesterday."
"When you recover, if you feel bored, you can open a shop with Nanchu. I will buy you two servants to work, and you just need to take care of the accounts."
"Oh, yes, there is also Nanchu. When you are free, you can teach him how to read and do accounting. He can also share some of your burden. In the future, I will rush to Beijing for the exam, and you can open a store along the way. It is not a dream to open a chain store."
Father Su didn't understand what a chain store was, but when he heard that he still had something to do, his eyes lit up.
His family used to make pastries, and he was the only son in the family, so he knew how to do business, especially making delicious pastries.
If I could open a shop, I could not only make money but also promote my craft, which would be killing two birds with one stone.
Father Su became more and more excited as he thought about it, and said with great joy:
"Indeed, I was a widow with a young daughter. I had no money and could not show my face in public. I was afraid of being bullied."
"Now that you've grown up, Daddy has someone to rely on, and we have money in our hands, it's time to open a pastry shop."
Nan Chu was surprised when he heard this:
"Dad, can you make cakes?"
Father Su curled his lips and said proudly:
"Of course. More than a decade ago, our Ruan family cakes were the best in Qinghe Town. Whenever people wanted to buy snacks, the first thing they thought of was Ruan family cakes."
Nan Chu looked at Father Su with admiration. He didn't expect that his father's family was so powerful in the past!
Su Yuan listened to the conversation between the two and said with a smile:
"Dad is really awesome. When I go to cram school, you can check to see if there is a suitable shop."
"If there is, let's rent it first and buy two servants to work for us. I will go to school and you can do business."
Father Su was delighted to see that his daughter was very supportive of him. He slapped his thigh and made a decision:
"That's a good feeling, let's just say it's settled."
"good."
Time passed quickly as the three people in the carriage chatted and laughed.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the new house.
Su Yuan stopped his horse, helped his father and husband out of the car, handed the keys to them, and acted as a porter himself.
After a busy work, everything was cleaned up.
It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon.
Su Yuan asked Nan Chu to cook some porridge, while he went to the market and bought some side dishes and meat buns.
After lunch.
Su Yuan asked the two to sit down and rest, and then he went into her and Nan Chu's bedroom and took out the things:
"This is the new fabric I bought. The four pieces of light-colored fabric are mine, and the remaining three pieces belong to Nanchu and Daddy, and there is also cotton."
"Daddy is recuperating these few days, so you guys should stay at home and make new clothes."
Nan Chu pursed her lips and nodded:
"Okay, thank you, my wife."
Father Su raised his lips and said angrily:
"Why are there still some of mine? Don't buy them next time. It's a waste of money. I'm so old now, why should I wear new clothes? I can modify your old clothes and wear them again."
Seeing that his father was obviously happy, but he was refutating himself, Su Yuan had no choice but to agree:
"Okay, I won't buy it next time."
