Chapter 60: Two More Bouts
"Wei'er just said Auntie, who is Auntie, what's her name?"
"My aunt is my aunt, my aunt is gone, and my grandfather said that Wei'er will follow my grandfather in the future. β
ββ¦β¦ So, what about Wei'er's father?"
"......" Wei'er was silent, and half said: "I don't know." My aunt didn't say it, my grandfather didn't say it either, does my brother know?"
Su Mo closed his eyes, and just hugged Wei'er harder again. Wei'er's eyes dimmed, but then she said happily: "Wei'er knows, Daddy went to find a lot of interesting things for Wei'er, right?
Su Mo's nose was sour, he endured it vigorously, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Wei'er is really smart, really smart, that's it." β
Wei'er laughed happily. Suddenly got up, pulled out a jade pendant from his chest, held it up in front of Su Mo's eyes, and said proudly: "Brother, look, this is what my father and mother gave to Wei'er." β
Su Mo was startled, and hurriedly looked at it. But I saw that this piece of jade was clear and warm, the size was about half a child's palm, and both sides were carved with the pattern of the sea of clouds. One side is engraved with "Carry with Things", and the other side is "Bright and Broad".
Su Mo frowned and looked at these eight words, it was difficult to understand the meaning for a while, but he vaguely felt that there must be something hidden in them.
If I didn't understand, I didn't think about it anymore, and when I looked up and saw Wei'er looking at me expectantly, he smiled and said, "Well, this jade pendant is excellent, it seems that Wei'er's father and mother love Wei'er very much." β
Wei'er's eyes were bright, and her eyes were proud and happy. He had also asked his grandfather, but his grandfather's expression at that time was very strange, as if he was a little flustered and a little nervous, just let him put it away, and he must not be seen, but he had never praised Su Mo like this.
In Yu Wei'er's heart, he didn't feel that it was probably not good to have this thing. Otherwise, why didn't grandpa say anything, just let himself put it away, and didn't let him show it?
But today, Su Mo's praise made him extremely happy. Although I haven't seen my father, my father must love Wei'er, don't you see what Brother Mo said, this is a very good thing.
Wei'er carefully put the jade pendant away again, but when she looked up, she suddenly saw that Su Mo's eyes were somewhat similar to those of her grandfather that day, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said in a low voice: "Wei'er promises not to show it to others." β
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
Wei'er was a little depressed, and whispered, "Grandpa once said." After speaking, he looked up cautiously and said, "Actually, this jade is not very good, right?"
Su Mo was stunned, but after all, he had been a teacher, and he only understood it after thinking about it. Shaking his head, he said, "No, this is really an excellent jade." Grandpa said not to show it to others, because he was afraid that bad people would see it and rob Wei'er's jade. In that case, when Wei'er's father and mother can't see this jade when they come back, Wei'er's father and mother will be sad. Does Wei'er want to make her father and mother sad?"
Wei'er perked up and said loudly: "No!"
Su Mo smiled: "Yes." Then Wei'er should be careful to protect this jade, and must not show it to others. Will Wei'er be able to protect it?"
Wei'er's eyes showed a happy and determined light, and she nodded vigorously with a red face: "Yes, Wei'er can." In the future, Wei'er will only show it to Brother Mo, not others, and no one will show it!"
Su Mo's heart was relieved, he nodded and smiled, and rubbed Wei'er's little head vigorously to show his appreciation.
Wei'er squinted, enjoying it very much.
Duoduo squatted on his shoulder next to him and watched, looking at the master, at Wei'er, and from time to time at the place where Wei'er hid the jade on his chest. After a long time, Xu finally came to a conclusion and felt that his own stone was better, so he lost interest. Gu Gu took out the dried fruit from the cloth bag and gnawed it.
The child's spirit is easily attracted, and after getting Su Mo's promise and untying a knot in his heart, he is happy. Looking at Duoduo's fluffy appearance, he wanted to touch it, but he was afraid that Su Mo would not want to, so he just looked at it like that, looking straight ahead.
Su Mo looked funny, reached out and picked up Duoduo and put it in front of him, and said with a smile: "Do you like it? β
Wei'er was overjoyed and tentatively stretched out her hand. Eating a lot was disturbed, and he grinned angrily, but Su Mo flicked his head and reprimanded: "Stingy ghost, what's the point of touching? β
Uncle Duoduo can only endure it like a little daughter-in-law, tears are in his eyes, if he is seen by a certain woman, he will definitely denounce someone without hesitation.
Wei'er finally touched Duoduo, and couldn't help but be happy, and for a while her energy was put on the little pet she had just gotten.
Su Mo turned his head to look at the sky, and saw the joy of Wei'er and Duoduo playing, so he stepped down from the ground and went outside to wash.
With an extra child in the family, he can't make do with everything. I have to prepare things for Wei'er to wash up, and I also have to prepare meals. It's too late today, so I can only go out to eat later. But from tomorrow, Su Mo decided to start a gang on his own. At least Wei'er's breakfast, he has to prepare it himself. Thanks to the philosophy of later generations, always eating outside food is not conducive to the growth of children.
Before he knew it, he already had the potential to be a daddy. But he was originally a teacher in his later life, and he also taught primary school students, and when he faced Wei Er, he naturally had a sense of substitution, and he didn't feel abrupt at all.
Wash and wash up, and clean up much faster than ever. I fetched the water again, deliberately boiled hot water and mixed it, entered the house with a basin, and beckoned Wei'er to wash.
Wei'er responded obediently, said goodbye to Duoduo very politely, and walked over to the ground. I just walked to the basin, but I just sat down honestly, and my face didn't move.
Su Mo was stunned, but then reacted. Shaking his head, he taught him how to wash his face and brush his teeth. And tell him that he should do his own thing.
Wei'er felt very novel about this method, but she didn't reject it at all, and followed Professor Su Mo's steps with great interest.
Uncle Duoduo stood on the kang and watched, with a look of schadenfreude in his eyes. I just waited to see the joke, but I didn't see it for a long time, and I couldn't help but be confused and annoyed.
Suddenly, there was an extra child, and the whole family seemed to be energized. Su Mo watched with a smile, thinking that if his father was also there at the moment, he didn't know how happy he would be.
Just thinking about it, I heard someone outside the courtyard shouting: "Dare to ask, this is Mr. Boyuan's residence?"
Su Mo was stunned, Boyuan is the word of Dad, but this person outside is here to find Dad, this is the first time.
Instructed Wei'er to wash and clean up by herself, got up and walked out, and responded: "Exactly, but I don't know who is visiting outside? β
The people outside said happily: "Yes, it's good, but inside is a boy of Nayan? We were ordered by Mr. Boyuan to come to find the son." β
Su Mo was surprised, and hurriedly took the deadbolt to open the door. Pushing open the door, I saw an old man and a young man standing outside.
The old man was dressed in a green cloth, with a hood wrapped around his head, and a pair of soapy white edges under his feet. He is fifty years old, his beard is half white and half flower, his appearance is clear, and his smile is peaceful. When he opened the door to see him, he looked him up and down.
Next to him was a young junior, tall and big, with a square face, slightly black and red. has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is honest but reveals a bit of heroism.
Dressed in a black cloth short, with a cloth silk around his waist, and a pair of cloth shoes under his feet, but with leggings. Behind him was a rather large package, standing a little restrained.
Su Mo hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what the two of you call you, but what do you say when you came here on the orders of your father?"
The young man looked at the old man, and the old man smiled and hugged his fists as a salute, and said with a smile: "Old Fu Quan, this is my nephew Shi Yue." Ling Zun is a guest at our master's side, and because he remembers Xiao Langjun, my master asked a certain two people to come here to serve. First, you can spend more time with Lord Lingzun, and secondly, there will be no less dispatch by Xiao Langjun's side. β
Su Mo was dumbfounded. What's going on? My dad was crazy and refused to go home, but he found two messengers for himself. Is this irresponsible?
Sideways to invite the two of them into the door, Su Mo said on the side: "Fu Lao is polite, I am a small family, where do I use the word "send." The tired Fu Lao and Brother Shi ran errands. The two of you will sit down, and the boy will serve tea here, moisten his throat and rest, and please tell the boy about his father's situation later. β
Fuquan stretched out his hand to stop him, didn't sit down, bowed slightly and said, "Xiao Langjun, don't say that, you can't afford to be old." Since he was ordered to come, he should guard his identity. How can there be a reason for the master to serve tea to his subordinates, but it is difficult to do. Oh, by the way, here's a letter from Lord Lingzun's family, Xiao Langjun will know it when he reads it. As he spoke, he gestured to the young man named Shi Yue.
Shi Yue hurriedly put down his burden, but when he heard the sound of tom, it was obviously extremely heavy, which made Su Mo's eyes shrink.
Shi Yue didn't notice it, he took out an oilcloth bag from his arms, opened the three layers inside and the three layers outside, and then took out an envelope from the inside and offered it with both hands.
Su Mo stretched out his hand to take it and asked the two to sit down again, but he refused. Su Mo was helpless, so he didn't say more, but opened the letter and read it.
Looking up, there are a few words that say that I am a child, and it is really my father's handwriting. Su Mo's heart was inexplicably hot, and he hurriedly looked down. The more I looked at it, the more surprised I became, and in the end, there was only a wry smile left.
It turned out that the root of Su Hong's visit to friends was still in Su Mo. Su Mo made a lot of moves in the past, although he made a big name, but it also made Su Hong feel deeply worried.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Another way is that the wood is beautiful in the forest and the wind will destroy it. And Su Mo is famous, but he doesn't have the foundation to withstand the wind and waves. failed several small exams, and even explicitly refused to go to the scientific examination again. Therefore, Su Hong had no choice but to find another way.
His solution was to find a friend, a powerful friend, and with the help of this friend, he donated a prisoner for his son. Prisoners, that is equivalent to having the qualifications to participate in the autumn and spring festivals. At the same time, it also shows that from this moment on, Su Mo finally has an official literati identity, and he can call the word "student" to the outside world.
It's just that the cost of donating to the prisoners is not small, it costs two thousand taels of silver. Su Hong's friend didn't care about the money, but Su Hong himself couldn't help it, so he took the initiative to ask to stay and help deal with some clerical and copywriting affairs, so as to repay this friendship.
The friend couldn't resist him, and at the same time he was willing to get together with him more, so he responded with the boat. It's just that Su Hong was worried that his son was home alone, so the friend simply sent over two servants, who were the old and the young in front of him.
In addition to these two people, there were also two hundred taels of silver brought at the same time, which was enough for the three of them for several years according to the expenses of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. For Su Hong, two thousand taels are owed, and it is not worse than two hundred taels, so there is this matter in front of him.
After reading the letter, Su Mo was moved and speechless. It is said that parents in the world are in their hearts, isn't this a father who sells himself to change his son's future and umbrella? When his father does this, what else can Su Mo say?
When Dad left, he refused to say anything, obviously because he was afraid that he would not agree. It wasn't until the raw rice was cooked that a letter from home was delivered, and Su Mo had to accept it, and he had to accept it if he didn't accept it.
With a long sigh, Su Mo looked at the distant sky, and it took a lot of perseverance to hold back the tears in his eyes and not fall.
After half a sound, he turned his head to look at the two people in front of him, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Fu Lao, Brother Shi." β
Fuquan hurriedly stopped, bowed down and said, "Son, there is a difference between the master and the master." Since Childe has seen Zun Weng's letter, he should be able to believe in our origins, and it is inappropriate to call it that way. Just ask the son to call him by name. β
Su Mo was helpless, so he had to say: "In this way, I will call you Fubo." As for Brother Shi, well, everyone is about the same age, so the students are welcome. β
Fuquan was overjoyed, and pulled Shi Yue to meet again with servant etiquette, which can be regarded as confirming the relationship between the upper and lower levels.
In addition to the three rooms in the main house, there are two side rooms on each side of the courtyard in Su Mo's house. It just so happened that Fu Bo and Shi Yue were in one room.
The two quickly entered the role, Shi Yue confessed to Su Mo, carried the big package, and went to clean up the house, here Su Mo let Fuquan sit, sat in the main seat, and asked about Su Hong's situation.
With the primary and secondary, Su Mo sat down, and Fuquan also sat down. From the time Su Hong went to talk about it, until the situation when the two of them left, it was all clear.
Su Mo asked about the situation of Su's father's friend again, but this time Fuquan refused to say it, and only said respectfully: "What the son asked, the old man can't be grateful, so I really don't dare to say more." If Childe must know, then ask Childe to write a book to Mr. Boyuan, maybe he can get it. β
Yes, except for knowing that Daddy is safe and everything is fine, nothing else is completely slaughtered. Seeing that this old man looked respectful, but his meaning was very firm, Su Mo had no choice but to give up. In the end, you can't come to a big punishment to serve, ask whether to make a move or not, right?
Su Mo estimated that even if this was the case, it would be useless to be afraid. Judging from the old man's speech and demeanor, he knew that the master's family background must be not small. This kind of big family comes out, and the rules are huge. Moreover, in this era, domestic servants were generally extremely loyal to the master's house, and few betrayed the master's house. Since the old man clearly refused to say it, he would never confide out half a word.
There was an extra child in the family, and suddenly there were two more people, Su Mo simply didn't go out, and directly sent Shi Yue, who had cleaned up the house, to buy some food to use.
The two hundred taels brought by Fuquan, Su Mo didn't answer. Although he has bowed for thirty-six years, it is not bad for the last trembling, but Su Mo also has his own insistence. In this regard, Fu Quan persuaded a few words, and seeing that he was resolute, he didn't say much. In his heart, he probably felt that Su Mo was young and thin-skinned, and when he needed it in the future, he would just take it out and spend it directly, and he didn't have to make some trouble now.
However, after Su Mo directly threw out the five hundred taels of silver tickets, the old man was really startled, and he was really shocked.
What is the situation? Doesn't it mean that the family is poor? Why is this 5500 at the first shot, and if this is considered poverty, the old man wants to shout: "Seek poverty together!"
Seeing that the old guy was finally moved, Su Mo's heart was slightly refreshed. The young master has nothing else now, just money. After the bidding meeting yesterday alone, there were thousands of taels in the bag. Not to mention the income from furnaces and honeycomb coal.
As for those manors, okay, brother is low-key, brother doesn't say it, saying that it is a bully of Hongguoguo. It's a good thing that the family paid 2,000 taels in advance, and donated it to the prison. Su Mo has to admit this love whether he wants it or not, because it is his father's face. It's a father-son relationship, you must admit it!
Although Wei Er didn't say anything about the two more people in the family, Su Mo could see that this child was obviously more of a relief. That's a sensitivity beyond age. Even if Su Mo repeatedly promised that he would never want him before, it was far less solid than the increase in the population of the family in front of him.
That's right, it's down-to-earth.
If a family has a large population, it is not easy to disperse. Like his former aunt and grandfather, they all seem to be just dependent on each other. At the beginning, following Su Mo, it seemed that this was the case, but it was not until this moment that Wei'er really believed that the happy life of no longer being entrusted to another stranger was finally coming.
Therefore, he actively communicated with Lao Fuquan and Shi Yue, and in a short time, he successfully won the love of the two.
Seeing him with Duoduo, laughing and jumping all over the yard, Su Mo's eyes were warm and flowing. Shi Yue belongs to the kind of naΓ―ve person, he has nothing to say, just scratching his feet and looking for a guy to do. Starting from chopping wood and carrying water, then cleaning the houses, and then going out to buy again and again, busy and sweating. Occasionally, he actually brought a sugar gourd back to Wei'er, and Wei'er hugged him and kissed him several times, which made this honest young man smirk for a long time.
Lao Fuquan didn't ask much about the suddenly extra child, and the rules of the big family made him abide by his duty. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and do what the master tells you to do well.
Of course, this does not prevent him from liking Wei'er as a child. To tell the truth, this kid is indeed likable. In the future generations, it is simply a killer existence of the elderly.
Therefore, on this day, Su Mo rarely went anywhere. He stayed at home for a day, either playing with Wei'er, or writing and painting in the room by himself, until it was time for dinner, and he finally got up.
