Chapter Ninety-One: Visiting
Yan Qing remembered the preferences of Uncle Su and Aunt Su. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early the next morning, she went to Shu'an Street to buy Go, and then went to Qifu Embroidery Village on Jinxiang Street to buy fabrics.
It's time to come back.
Aunt Li went to the gallery first.
When she went out in the morning, Su Jin was still asleep, and he would be waiting for her at home.
They simply packed two pieces of clothing, put Go and cloth together, and went to the gallery with their baggage.
Today's painters are endless, and Aunt Li and Fang Xinrong are busy.
They saw that Mr. Su was coming with a burden and Xiaoqing, and Aunt Li listened to Mr. Su in the morning that the two of them were going back to Tanglin Village.
She brought a cup of tea to the painter who had just arrived, walked up to the two of them and instructed: "You can go back to the village with confidence, the gallery will be handed over to us for the time being, I just hope that you will go early and come back soon."
"Yes!" Fang Xinrong came out of the counter and said to them: "Mr. Su, Sister Yan, you can rest assured to go back to Tanglin Village! If Uncle Feng is too busy painting alone, I can let the master and the master come to the studio to paint."
Su Jin smiled gratefully.
As soon as Yan Qing heard that Sister Xinrong wanted to invite Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei to help in the art gallery, she scratched Sister Xinrong's nose lovingly and replied: "You go back early in the evening, if Uncle Feng is really busy painting, you can make an appointment first, and then send it to the house."
"Got it!" Fang Xinrong and Aunt Li said in unison.
There was nothing to explain in the gallery, so they stayed for a while, then went out and hired a carriage and rushed to Tanglin Village.
Su Jin sat in the carriage and was silent.
Yan Qing understood her husband's thoughts, held his hand and said, "Husband, don't worry, it's been more than half a year, presumably Uncle Su's anger has long since disappeared, we came back to visit them this time, they should be happy."
"Hmm!" Su Jin held her hand, and the lady saw things much more clearly than him.
The carriage stopped at the bazaar.
They paid the money and walked to the village of Tanglin on foot.
It is now the autumn season, and the rice and wheat in the crops are harvested, and Liu Daqian, who was cutting rice in the field at this time, got up to wipe his sweat, saw two figures walking down the slope, he curiously stepped forward a few steps to reach over there, but saw that it was Su Xiucai and his daughter-in-law who came back to the village.
"Su Xiucai is back!" Liu Daqian shouted happily.
Let the people who were cutting rice in the field listen, and they all got up and looked.
"It's really Su Xiucai who is back!" Li Quan also said happily.
"Looking at Su Xiucai's dress, life should be good now!"
"Yes, there is a way out for the readers, much better than us mud-legged people."
"You say, what are they going to do when they come back now?"
Li Quan replied guessingly: "I should have come back to visit Village Chief Su! After all, they are uncles and nephews."
Su Jin and Yan Qing approached them, and the villagers in the fields put down their sickles one after another and greeted them happily.
"Su Xiucai, you're back!" Liu Daqian came to them, remembering what his mother-in-law had done to Su Xiucai and his silly aunt in the past, and his face was still apologetic.
"Brother Liu!" Su Jin smiled politely.
"Su Xiucai!" Li Quan asked him, "I don't know where you are messing around now?" After he asked, he sighed in his heart, Qin Wazi still has eyes, but it's a pity that Su Xiucai insisted on marrying a stupid girl. Thinking of it, he glanced at the silly girl, who was already dignified and virtuous, and he was also gentle in his eyes. Forcibly compared the piano baby.
Su Jin replied when asked: "Uncle Li, now, I and my inner man make a living in Lan'an."
"Lan An! Ah!" Li Quan nodded and smiled: "It's much better than in this village."
"That's right!" Liu Daqian then asked with a smile: "Su Xiucai went back to the village today, did he come back to visit Village Chief Su?
Su Jin smiled politely, seeing that they had dropped their work to chat with him, he never thought that the people in the village still remembered him.
He smiled and said, "Brother Liu, Uncle Li, you guys are busy first, and when you are free, it's not too late for us to chat."
"Okay! good!" Liu Daqian almost forgot that they still had rice to cut, so in response to Su Jin's call, he took the lead and went down to the field one after another.
Su Jin and Yan Qing walked back to the village.
Sister-in-law Wei, who was drying corn cobs in front of the house, saw that Su Xiucai and the silly girl were back, she hurriedly dropped the corn cob, and went to Sister-in-law Liu's house in surprise.
Sister-in-law Liu and Liu Shuang'er couldn't help but feel very strange when they heard that Su Xiucai and the silly girl were coming back at this time?
The three of them rushed to the entrance of the village, and there was no longer Su Xiucai and the silly girl's figures, it seemed that they were a step too late, and they had already gone to the house of Village Chief Su.
Su Yunshan sat in the hall and played chess with himself, since Su Xian's nephew moved out of the village, none of the old people in the village could sit down and play chess with him.
More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know how Su Xian's nephew is doing outside? Alas, he is no longer his uncle in his heart, and he never came back to visit him once he left.
"Uncle Su, aunt!" Su Jin shouted outside the house.
As soon as Su Yunshan heard this sound, the chess piece in his hand was not held steady, and there was a crisp sound when it fell to the ground, and he hurriedly got up in disbelief and poked out, and really saw that it was Su Xian's nephew who came back.
"Su Xian's nephew!" he can hope for Su Xian's nephew back.
As soon as Su Jin saw Uncle Su come out to greet him, he smiled and said, "Uncle Su, the little nephew and the lady have come back to see you, how are you doing?"
"Okay! Okay!" Su Yunshan responded happily a few times, and when he saw the silly girl, he only smiled and didn't say anything.
Yan Qing saw that Village Chief Su didn't seem disgusted with her, smiled and saluted, and shouted with her husband: "Uncle Su"
"Okay!" Su Yunshan smiled, judging from today's situation, Su Xian's nephew and this silly girl's life is quite good, as long as Su Xian's nephew is not dragged down by the silly girl, he will not interfere with anything.
Su Yunshan invited the two of them into the house and sat down, brought tea and sent it to the hands of the two, still thinking about the remaining game of chess, and smiled at Su Jin: "Su Xian's nephew, it's just the right time for you to come back, come, our uncle and nephew have a good game of chess."
Su Jin took a sip of tea and put it down, looking at Yan Qing.
"Go ahead!" she laughed.
"Okay!" Su Jin went to Uncle Su and sat down.
Yan Qing saw that Uncle Su was in a strong interest in playing chess at the moment, and she was not good at taking out gifts to talk about things, so she wanted to wait for them to play chess before giving gifts.
She went out of the hall and saw her aunt at home, and now it was almost noon, and she thought, go into the kitchen to see if there is anything she can do to help.
She saw a handful of water celery on the ground that had not yet been picked, and she had nothing to do but could take it to the yard to pick the leaves.
"You?"
She leaned down, and before she could get the water celery, behind her was her aunt's questioning voice.
Yan Qing hurriedly turned around to look at her and smiled and explained, "Auntie, you're back, I see that the leaves of this dish haven't been removed yet, I think..."
"Silly girl, why are you back?, where are the Jin'er people?" Ma Shi carried a blue washed greens, and only then did he look from the back, as if he didn't expect it to be a silly girl.
Yan Qing smiled and replied: "Fujun and Uncle Su are playing chess in the hall! Fujun misses you, so he wants to come back to see you."
"The old man has finally brought Jin'er back!" Ma happily put away the vegetable basket and said to Yan Qing: "Don't be in a hurry to cook first, let's go!"
"Okay!" Yan Qing followed Ma out of the kitchen.
Shi Wenjie watched this painting and saw how powerful Mrs. Su was. In this way, it is not surprising that famous people like uncles and aunts would appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Su.
The first day they came to Yuzhou quickly passed in calligraphy and painting.
Then I went around for a few days.
September 16 is the day when the list is released, and the time for the release of the list is in the hour.
Su Jin and Yan Qing got up, dressed up and went out, and it happened that Shi Wenjie also walked out of the room, and then, Fang Xinrong also came out in men's clothes.
Shi Wenjie has never seen Miss Fang dressed as a man, but when she looks at it today, she looks suave and has the bearing of a jade tree in the wind.
As soon as she unfolded the folding fan in her hand, she smiled and asked Shi Wenjie, "What are you still doing in a daze?
"Fang Gongzi, please!" Shi Wenjie smiled, impressed by her.
Su Jin and Yan Qing looked at each other and smiled, and followed them downstairs.
When they came to the Tribute Academy, in front of the closed gate, the waiting scholars were crowded, and many candidates were full of expectations, although it was difficult to hide the anxiety in their hearts.
As soon as they saw Su Jin and Yan Qing, they recognized them at a glance, and remembered that they came with their husbands when they entered the exam, and they came with them when the list was released. If the husband falls off the list, then there will be a good show to watch.
Su Jin ignored the gaze of others and patiently waited for the announcement of the release of the list to be posted.
As soon as he thought, the door of the Gongyuan opened, and two errand officers with the list walked out of it, and in an instant, the scholars who were waiting for the list surrounded the two in a circle.
"Get out of the way!" shouted the two officers.
Shi Wenjie saw that Mr. Su was still calm, he smiled and said, "Mr. Su, let's go over and have a look!"
"Hmm!" Su Jin replied lightly.
It's just that before they got closer, as soon as the list was posted, the people who witnessed it first immediately shouted: "The one who won the first place to solve the yuan: Su Jin"
"Husband!" Yan Qing said happily.
Su Jin's tense heart was relieved, and the stone fell to the ground.
"Hehe! Mr. He Xisu!" congratulated Shi Wenjie, who was beside him.
"Brother Shi..."Su Jin's face showed that he couldn't help it.
"It's okay!" Shi Wenjie also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Under the name of Mr. Su, Shi Mou is served"
Fang Xinrong smiled in front of Su Jin, who admired the aisle, and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Su for winning the first place Xie Yuan in the exam."
"Thank you Xinrong!" Su Jin thanked her, walked to his lady and smiled: "Lady, my husband finally lived up to your expectations"
"Congratulations to her husband!" Yan Qing's heart was surprisingly calm, and she was very happy for her husband.
Shi Wenjie saw that there was only Mr. Su in Xinrong's eyes, without him, a bitter smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and he walked towards the list alone.
At this moment, the scholars who fell off the list were of different ages, especially the older scholars, who sat on the ground and were confused, and there was no shortage of them hanging their heads and crying, or hiding their faces and crying.
"Brother Shi!" Fang Xinrong caught up with him and grabbed his hand.
Shi Wenjie stopped, Xinrong's move made his heart warm slightly, he smiled and turned to look at her and said: "You don't have to come to comfort me, my uncle said, whether you pass the exam or not, you can't be arrogant or discouraged."
After a pause, he continued: "Even if you don't get the first place in the exam, Xie Yuan, you will still be eligible to enter the exam when you wait until next year's spring."
"Hmm!" Fang Xinrong believed him, and said with a warm smile: "As long as I don't return to Pingyang for a day, I will stay with Brother Shi for a day, and when I am in the spring next year, I will go to Beijing with Brother Shi again."
Shi Wenjie listened to Xinrong's words, his Adam's apple squirmed, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed again, and he smiled and nodded.
The eye-catching big characters on the list are written with the first name Xie Yuan: Su Jin. In second place is Shi Wenjie.
They departed from the Tribute Courtyard and returned to the inn.
Yan Qing and Fang Xinrong packed their luggage and rushed back to Lan'an after lunch. Unexpectedly, two errand officers came to the inn, saying that they were here to invite Mr. Su and Mr. Shi to attend the Luming banquet.
For the Luming Banquet, Su Jin had only heard of it before, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing, and all those who were in the exam had to go to the banquet.
Yan Qing and Sister Xinrong understood this reason, sent them to the banquet, and left them and Uncle Jiang, the coachman, to have lunch at the inn.
This feast lasted for a few hours.
When they waited for Su Jin and Shi Wenjie to return to the inn, it was already late in the evening, and when they got into the carriage, they got out of Yuzhou without further ado, and rushed back to Lan'an.
On the way, he passed by the teahouse, and Su Jin gave the teahouse a signboard according to the young man's wishes, named "Pudu Teahouse"
Return to Lan'an.
The carriage went directly to the gallery on Qingyang Street.
When Aunt Li heard that Mr. Su had won the first place Xie Yuan, she couldn't close her mouth happily. Feng Zicheng had already expected that Mr. Su would pass the exam, and when he learned that he had won the first place, he was even more surprised.
In addition to being grateful to his friends for taking care of him, Su Jin couldn't help but think of Uncle Su and his aunt in Tanglin Village.
Since he moved out of Tanglin Village, he hasn't been back to visit for a long time, and now that he has passed the exam, he wants to reunite with Uncle Su's family.
Yan Qing saw that her husband had been sullen for the past two days, and when Zhongxiyuan came back, he didn't see him happy, so he asked him, but he seemed to have concerns and refused to say.
It was only when she saw her husband take out the calligraphy and paintings of "Horse Hongtu" and "Yan Nanfei" that she guessed what her husband was thinking.
"Husband, do you want to go back to Tanglin Village?" Yan Qing entered the study and asked bluntly.
Su Jin put away the calligraphy and paintings, didn't say yes, and didn't say no.
Yan Qing didn't pay attention to the past, and she didn't mind: "Since my husband wants to go back to Tanglin Village, why don't we go back to Tanglin Village tomorrow to have a look!"
"Lady?" Su Jin didn't look like he was joking when he saw his lady.
"Hmm!" Yan Qing persuaded him to rest assured and asked, "When we go back tomorrow, do you want to buy something to take home?" What do Uncle Su and Aunt Su like? I can go buy it tomorrow morning..."
Su Jin was grateful to the lady for understanding his intentions, and he smiled: "Uncle Su likes to play chess, and most of the clothes for his husband were embroidered by his aunt."
