Chapter 459 See You Later
"My Lords, each of you may have a portion of white cotton as a souvenir." Su Ying divided the remaining cotton into several portions.
Some were kept for Huanggou Village and their own families, and the rest were given to Song Xuanyu, Lin County Magistrate, and Hu Changshi each.
Not a single cotton seed was left, all were packed up and sent back to Chang'an.
"Thank you!" Several adults happily accepted the gifts.
This stuff is more precious than rock sugar. Apart from tribute, there is only this little bit left in the entire Tang Dynasty. Others can’t even get it.
It is only enough to make a quilt or a few cotton clothes.
"Everything here has been settled. The Fulon convoy will arrive in a few days and we will set off!" Su Ying said to everyone.
"Oh, I really don't want you to leave!" Although Song Xuanyu had the shortest contact time with Su Ying, they got along very well and had similar interests.
If we can continue to work together, Wu County will develop rapidly.
"Yes! Lord Xiao Su! Now that you are gone, there will probably be no new things happening in Wuzhou anymore!" Hu Changshi was very melancholy.
"All good things must come to an end! Maybe one day in the future, we will meet again in Chang'an or somewhere else!" Su Ying comforted.
The children in the village school did not feel reluctant to leave, but were all excited about setting off. After waiting for a long time, they were finally about to set off.
The next few days were spent packing luggage. When we first came here, we only had a few tattered bags and a few book boxes.
When they left, there were hundreds of boxes and cages of all sizes, many of which were rewards, and the great gift from Governor Lu.
He earned a lot of money from the gifts from the Hu family and the various imported goods from Fu Zhong.
The horses and cows were given to Qin Tieniu, and a pig was killed to make sausages and bacon. After being blown dry, it was smoked and roasted to become a greasy bacon.
The remaining pigs were given to the village public school. It was still too early to smoke bacon in September, and it would be a pity if too much was produced and it went bad.
No one lived in the Su residence, so Qin Tieniu took the initiative to take charge of the management of the house.
The sugarcane was ripe, and Su Ying cut it all, gave one to each of the children, and packed the rest.
The village elders of Jinfengzhai rushed over after hearing the news. The ox carts were loaded with a lot of things, including 300 kilograms of brown sugar, 100 kilograms of rock sugar, 100 kilograms of white sugar, and 1,000 kilograms of sugarcane. The long convoy was quite spectacular.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Su Ying was worried. How could she get rid of all these people? There were also a group of elderly, weak, women and children to take care of.
"A little gift from my heart! Made with this year's new sugarcane!" Ade knew that Su Ying could take away as much as she wanted.
Two days ago, Fuxi delivered quilts and took away winter clothes for the children in Chang'an. Ade knew that Su Ying was about to leave.
Ask A Jiang, Die Xiu and others to quickly make a batch of candies for Su Ying. No amount of gifts can repay Su Ying's kindness.
The Su family was in a state of chaos, with almost no room to move. Ade and his friends left their things and were about to leave.
"Grandpa! Wait a minute!" Su Ying took out a package from the house.
"White folded rice can keep you warm, but there aren't many left, only enough to make a cotton coat!"
"Thank you!" Ade was not polite. The gift may be small but the thought is great. This gift is not small at all!
None of the nobles got it, but I was the first to get it because I was close to the water and benefited from Su Ying.
"Sister, how are we going to take away so much sugarcane?" Xiaotao was worried as she looked at the pile of sugarcane.
"Don't worry, I can take it away!" Su Ying thought that she could take it to Chang'an and find a piece of land to plant it so that she could eat sugarcane in the future.
Ask the housekeeper to buy tarpaulin, wrap the bundles of sugarcane in sand, and then wrap them with bamboo strips slightly longer than the sugarcane to tie them up.
The sugarcane is guaranteed to be fresh and will still be moist and not moldy even if you open it a few months later.
"Oh! Master Su is busy!" Fuwang came in with his hands behind his back and said softly.
"Oh! Lord Fu, you are finally here! If you hadn't come, I don't know how many more things would have popped up here!" Su Ying was so busy that she was dizzy.
Second Aunt has two children, and both she and the wet nurse have to take care of them.
Huang Si Niang hesitated for a long time and finally decided to follow him to Chang'an and return to Wu County two years later.
The old lady is old, all she needs to do is eat well, drink well and have fun.
Mrs. Du, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Zheng were not idle, making orange vests for the children who were studying abroad.
Xie Qingyun, Pei Yuzhen and other older girls led the team as teachers of the women's official school.
Originally it was under the identity of Lingnan Brocade Works, but now the women's official school is under the name of Hongwenguan, which is an intimidating title.
And since he is a gentleman, if anyone wants to touch him on the street, he has to think carefully about whether his head will be chopped off.
Cen Hongmian and Cen Hongjuan went on a school trip with the village school children.
After almost two months of raising it, it has gained a lot of weight and its head no longer looks so big. Its big eyes have become more lively and no longer look silly.
"You're so lucky to be able to travel with adults! Be good on the road and follow Xiao Tao and Atang! Don't get lost!
Don't chat up strangers, and don't believe anything they say, okay?" Cen Hongying admonished her sisters like an old woman.
"No need to worry! Sister!" The class specifically provides education on how to prevent fraud, how to prevent scams, and how to save yourself.
"I've prepared some money for you in the bag for emergency use on the road!" Cen Hongying muttered again.
"No need to bother, sister!" the two sisters replied with a smile.
Those who were about to set off gathered in front of Su's house, and the children from the village school and the Su family were all expecting this.
When he saw Old Man Yang and his wife and their two daughters-in-law, Fuwang glanced at Su Ying calmly.
If you don’t come soon, I guess everyone in the village will be taken away.
More than a dozen ox carts could not even carry the Su family's luggage. Fortunately, many villagers bought oxen and harnessed them to the carts to help load the goods and people.
The children crowded into several ox carts, chattering excitedly, making people dizzy.
The old lady, Mrs. Gao, and Old Man Yang said goodbye to the villagers reluctantly.
"Qingyun!" Madam Zheng held her daughter's hand, her eyes red as she said to Yang Chunhua, "Chunhua, I entrust Qingyun to you."
"Pan'er, I saved it!" Yang Chunhua knew what this entrustment meant.
It is not only to take care of her, but also to help find a good family for Xie Qingyun.
After all, the Yang family's main ancestral home is in Hongnong, Huazhou, and the Gao family has a relative who is the current emperor's in-law, the Duke of Yixing County.
Whatever, the family you are looking for will not be bad.
"I'll ask you to take care of the Wang family's children!" Old man Wang instructed his niece, Madam Wang.
At least there is an adult in the Wang family who has returned, so the children can have someone to make decisions.
"No need, uncle!" Mrs. Wang replied. Several brothers had come to see her yesterday.
"Okay! It's time for us to set off!" Su Ying said to everyone.
"Aying! When will you come back?" The villagers were reluctant to let her go, and then realized that this was not a good thing to say, and they started to spit.
Lingnan is a grain-exclusive area, but it does not change the nature of the exile area. Hoping Su Ying will come again, isn't that a curse? What a foul mouth!
"The mountains and rivers remain green, and we'll meet again someday!" Su Ying bowed and said goodbye to everyone.
The long convoy left Huanggou Village. The villagers watched the convoy disappear for a long time and refused to disperse.
As soon as the children from the village school left, the village suddenly became deserted and lifeless, and even the sun lost its vitality.
"Go back to class! You will also go to Chang'an to study in two years!" Madam Zheng wiped her tears and said with a smile.
Now the official school is taken over by her and several other women, all of whom were once noble ladies, so teaching and practicing are not a problem for them.
