Tao didn't want it, and he wanted to stuff it back again, blaming the sister-in-law and said: "Now that Jinniang is messing up, she just bought that big house, and she needs silver, besides, I told your eldest brother that it is to subsidize your dowry, how can you take it back." ”

Su had no choice but to deliberately whisper that this silver master knew, if she took it back, in case she deviated from it in the future, she would be dumbfounded. Only then did Tao accept it, and said that in the future, Minshan would marry and give more as an uncle.

Su picked up a zongzi and peeled it for his sister-in-law, saying that he would like to thank his sister-in-law for Minshan, Tao took a bite, Su ate the rest, Tao's heart was soft, and he had never seen his sister-in-law and her.

And Su Zilin was in Zhangji braised meat shop at this time.

The Zhang family opened a shop here for their son, and indeed some kind masters would give some simple children's books to the Zhang family, and there were also those who took pity on their mother and son and often came to buy food.

Zhang's knowledge is limited, she can only teach some simple literacy, and she doesn't expect to let the college accept Aman into school, just want to have a master to teach Aman simply, and at least there will be a free time to come to the store to teach Aman simply, but because of Aman's situation, such teaching is equivalent to not teaching, he can't remember at all, Zhang is frustrated, but still try to teach her son repeatedly that she can remember what the master said.

Su Zilin came here because his son was studying in Chang'an Academy, and when he came, he bought some food and went to his friend's house to sit at Bao Mingyan's house. After coming a few times, I found that Zhang Ji braised meat shop has a son Lang who is different from normal children, Su Zilin was originally a kind and soft-hearted person, so he paid more attention, and found that Lang here was okay to sit there and paint, he looked at it curiously, and felt that although the painting was out of order, but there was a talent, so he simply guided, and waited for the next time he went, where Lang could use the progress of the painting he taught.

The merciful Su Zilin was interested, so he went more, and bought some painting utensils in the past, every time he went to teach something simple, who knew that he couldn't remember anything else here, but he naturally remembered this aspect of painting, which made Su Zilin moved, and went back to his cousin Su Yushi and said that he wanted to accept this Lang as an apprentice, and he felt pity for this Lang for a while.

Zhang didn't know what Su Zilin did, only knew that he had a son studying in the academy, so he came here, and she was very grateful to see Su Zilin patiently teaching Aman to paint. She also knows that her son likes to paint, and he scribbles and paints when he sits in the store, and when Zhang's has many customers, he is afraid that he will disturb the guests, so he prepares paper and asks him to sit aside and scribble and play, but for his son to learn to paint, Zhang does not dare to hope at all, learning to paint is more difficult than learning literature, no painter or academy master can teach such a son, besides, learning to paint is a big expense, and she can't afford it.

So after listening to Su Zilin's words, Zhang's face was full of consternation, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Sister-in-law rest assured, I am not a wicked person, although I came to Beijing not long ago, I am from my cousin is Su Yushi, there is a carving next to me from my cousin's family business, I think your son Lang can learn to paint, I am not talented, and only know how to paint, I am ashamed, I am only a child, if you are willing, I will personally teach your son, since then with my father and son to live together, sister-in-law can be considered, can also discuss with the family. ”

This incident was too sudden for Zhang, she hesitated, didn't know what to say, and her mind was in a mess, too sudden.

Su Zilin continued: "Sister-in-law, if you have a decision, you can go to Su Yushi's mansion to find me, just say that you are looking for Su Zilin from Jiangnan, they will take you in, I live in Zhuangzi in the countryside, but if you come, they will send someone to find me, this matter is not urgent, I will not leave the capital for the time being, you think about it slowly." ”

After speaking, Su Zilin touched Aman's head, who was listening on the side, and left after whispering a few words.

Zhang didn't slow down when the others left, and then squatted down and asked his son: "Aman, do you want to learn to paint?" That is, the gentleman just now wants to teach you how to paint, is Aman willing to learn from him?"

Aman's eyes lit up, nodded vigorously, and grinned.

Zhang's hugged his son and couldn't help crying, and Aman also patted his mother's back and said, "Mother doesn't cry, Aman is good, Aman is obedient." ”

Su Zilin went to the college to meet his friend Bao Mingyan.

Bao Mingyan and his fellow villagers, at that time the two of them were studying in the same academy, Bao Mingyan countrymen lived in the academy, and there was a scholar in the family for several generations, so several rooms were for him to study, Bao Mingyan in order not to burden the family, he saved money, and went to the small bookstore to copy books to earn some expenses during the break.

And Su Zilin was his father at that time, and he didn't care about his stepmother, he passed it to his uncle, and he lived alone in the dilapidated house that was given to his uncle, but his father was still responsible for the living expenses before he got married, so no one knew if he went home or not, so he went to the small bookstore with Bao Mingyan to copy books, he was not to make money, but he was bored, in terms of money, his stepmother didn't dare to deduct him too much, and Su Zilin often bought food and ate with Bao Mingyan.

Once Bao Mingyan was sick, it was also Su Zilin who bought medicine and boiled medicine to accompany and take care of him in the academy, at that time the two of them were not big, and the adversity saw the truth, Bao Mingyan also moved this classmate, and later this classmate said that he recognized a master and followed the master away, Bao Mingyan still regretted it for a long time.

Waiting for Bao Mingyan to go to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam, Su Zilin suddenly came back, the two met, Su Zilin laughed at himself that he was still a child, but congratulations to his young friend for being able to lift and give a sum of money, Bao Mingyan didn't open it at that time, he also knew Su Zilin's family situation, and thought that it was nothing more than a ten taels or eight taels, but he didn't expect to open it later, a full five hundred taels of silver tickets, which surprised Bao Mingyan, and this silver did solve his urgent need.

Bao Mingyan got married late, he persuaded the elders in the family not to marry him, and after winning the Jinshi, he was favored by the Hong family in Beijing, and there happened to be an old girl who was more than twenty years old because of filial piety, Bao Mingyan was also in his twenties and had not yet married, and the Hong family sent someone to Jiangnan to ask if this was the case, and Bao Mingyan was determined to be the son-in-law of the Hong family.

The Hong family is also the old father-in-law's family on Saturday in the Jin Palace, the Qingliu family, Bao Mingyan is very satisfied, and he is not a person with a false head, he is upright, a little dull, and then he became a scholar in Chang'an Academy, and there are four children in the family, all of whom are grandchildren. Hong's husband and son were married, and the husband's hometown was also simple, and he didn't come to Beijing to cause trouble, and his in-laws came to Beijing for a few years, and Hong's was also filial, but his in-laws said that they were not used to the capital, so they returned to their hometown.

In fact, in the countryside is to be flattered and respected by people, come to Beijing, everywhere is not happy, the countryside out of a jinshi that is the glory of the ancestors, relatives are all stained, but in Beijing, not to mention the noble, that is, the general big family does not put a school in their eyes, so, Bao's parents returned to their hometown to be an old lady and an old lady in a few years.

Bao Mingyan has been smooth sailing in the back of his life, his daughter-in-law is also married well, he comes out of a scholar's family, he is knowledgeable, and he takes care of the back house in an orderly manner, he just pounces on the college. But I just feel that I owe my childhood classmate Su Zilin's affection. When Su Zilin came to Beijing with his son to contact him, he persuaded Su Zilin to send his son to study in the academy where he worked, so that he could take care of him nearby. also has the heart to marry his little daughter to Su Zilin's only son.
