174 Distinguished guests
As soon as these words came out, Su A-Niang and Su Da Niu's faces changed together, Su A-Niang looked straight at Mrs. Zhang, and asked in a dumb voice: Do you mean that if you don't take vinegar as a dowry, then Mrs. Su will not look down on my second girl, so she won't be engaged, is that what you mean?
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said helplessly: That person has this meaning in his words.
Su A-Niang stood up violently, pointed to the courtyard gate, and shouted: You let me go!
Mrs. Zhang's wife Su A-Niang was really angry, and hurriedly stood up and explained: Sister, dissipate your anger, this is not what I meant, the master in our county has won the trust of the county master, and it is more popular than my family's mouth, think about it, his wife has found my house, and he just took more than ten years of friendship to talk about things, and I don't want to come, alas, sister, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, ah.
Su Daniu was still standing outside the window, she stared at Mrs. Zhang and said: Mrs. Zhang, you better go back, you go and tell Mrs. Sรน, my second girl is not worried about getting married.
Mrs. Zhang's face stiffened, her eyes swept around Su A-Niang and Su Daniu's bodies, and she said slowly: Sister Zhang, don't be rash, the master is also an official, if you brush them like this, they don't care about it now, what if this period is over? After all, we live in the town, don't you want to think about the future?
Mrs. Zhang means that now there is a plague, and the people of the yamen can't spare their hands, and the Su family has made a name for itself with this vinegar thing, but when this yamen is idle, there are other people who also have the idea of the master's wife, this master's wife is still hidden, if there is the one who blatantly comes to rob it, what should the Su family do?
Think about it, if someone really dares to come up and grab the recipe, then there must be something to rely on, where can the small farmer of the Su family deal with it?
If he says that he has a relative who should catch fast, heh, she is still a head catcher! Useless!
Su A-Niang's lips turned white.
Su Daniu left the window and walked in from the door, she pursed her lips and said: That recipe is not mine.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her in surprise.
Su Daniu said calmly: That vinegar has another master's family, but it is entrusted to us, if you don't believe it, and wait a few months, you will know who the master's family is then. Su Daniu was secretly glad in her heart, fortunately, the second girl told her about the vinegar recipe that she handed over to the Bai family, it was really a coincidence, it was said a few days and nights, at that time, she asked about the new short-term worker Afan, and the second girl was so grinded by her that she couldn't do anything, so she told her about the matter.
When Su Daniu heard that, there was only one question in her mind, did she have any money?
Su Yu gave a positive promise, and Su Dayu was overjoyed when she found out, but the second girl reminded her that she couldn't talk nonsense until the matter was settled, so Su Dayu kept holding back.
Now that Mrs. Zhang said this, Su Daniu couldn't help it, but she knew it in her heart, so she only said half of it.
Mrs. Zhang was shocked when she heard this: Didn't you make that vinegar from your family?
Su Yu's voice came in from outside the door: Auntie, where can I get something like that from a small farmer in my family, aren't you joking.
Mrs. Zhang turned her head to look, only to see Su Yu walking up with hot tea, there was still flower tea in the cup, the flower tea was chrysanthemum tea, and after brewing for a while, the color became golden, and there was a faint chrysanthemum fragrance on the smell.
Mrs. Zhang didn't want to drink it, she really didn't like the things used by the Su family to eat and drink, but this tea was very elegant. When Su Yu handed over the tea, Mrs. Zhang took it easily, the tea was very hot, Mrs. Zhang blew it, took a small sip, she couldn't help but light up, this tea fragrance is very light, she thinks it is very good, she likes flower tea more than tea.
Su A-Niang saw Su Yu coming, so she stepped aside, she was unhappy, very unhappy, she was afraid that she would offend people by talking, so she decided not to say it, and let Erniu say that she was watching from the side, and she was calm with the anger in her heart.
I don't know why, she doesn't know what her temper is, she just comes when she says it, and sometimes she has chest tightness, she was obviously not like this before.
Mrs. Zhang took a sip of tea and put it aside.
Su Yu opened her mouth at this time, and she said: Auntie, my family's request made by the master and wife is not reachable, since this is the case, we will not climb the high branch, you can help us talk about it, that recipe is indeed not my family's, if my family has this ability, it will be rich early.
Mrs. Zhang thought about it and felt reasonable, but she still asked cautiously: The vinegar recipe is a family, can you talk about this?
Su Yu shook his head.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her and asked, "What can't you say?" Could it be that this is a lie?
Su Yu smiled and said: The master said, let us keep it secret, if we do, I'm afraid you will ask us about our crimes, madam, you can be considerate and considerate of us, no one can afford to offend us in this small family.
Mrs. Zhang was skeptical: Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, we are all so familiar, don't coax me with words.
Su Yu said softly: Whether this is true or not, my aunt will know in the future.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Yu for a while, then she looked away, she took a sip of tea gently, and when the tea was almost at the bottom, she put the cup on the table, Su Yu saw this, but turned around and went to the kitchen, and after a while, she came out with a delicate purse, and she handed the purse to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang refused to accept it, no matter how delicate the purse was, she had seen it, and her family was not bad for this thing.
Su Yudao: Auntie, this is filled with wild chrysanthemum tea, which clears away heat and dissolves fire, and also nourishes your beauty, so it's best for you to drink. The wild grapes were picked from the mountains, and when I was drying bamboo shoots, I dried a batch of them, but I didn't expect them to be used.
Su Yu thought in his mind, in addition to wild chrysanthemums, there should be honeysuckle on the mountain, this is also a kind of medicine, maybe you can go back to the village next year to pick some, even if you don't sell it, you can use it for yourself.
Mrs. Zhang took the purse, but she stared at the face of the second girl for a while, she turned her head and said to Su Aniang: Your second girl is really good at coaxing people, she is very clever, you are so good at raising this child.
Su Yu lowered her head and smiled.
Su A-Niang became happy when she heard this: Yes, my second girl is sensible.
Mrs. Zhang didn't mention Erniu's family affairs again, she chatted with Su A-Niang a few more words, and then left Su's house with her purse, on the way, she thought that maybe she should persuade the master and Mrs. , even if Erniu does not have vinegar to marry, she is also a good candidate for daughter-in-law, just Erniu's eyesight, there are few little girls in this town who can compare.
After Su A-Niang saw Mrs. Zhang go away, she closed the courtyard door, took the two girls to the main house, and closed the door tightly, making it very mysterious.
Su A-Niang looked at Su Yu and Su Da Niu with a heavy face, and after a while, she said with a wry smile: Mother is useless, I can't keep the vinegar recipe you made.
Su Yu pulled Su A-Niang to sit down, and Su A-Niang said again: Big girl, my mother can't stand you, you are almost fourteen, and my mother hasn't said kiss to you yet, alas. Su A-Niang became sentimental.
Su Yu looked at Su Aniang's face and said in her heart: Isn't it menopause?
Su Daniu looked at Su Aniang with an indifferent face and said: Mother, what are you anxious about, I'm not in a hurry, just wait for the spring of next year to go to the surrounding villages to inquire, there are few girls in this village, and there are many men, are you still afraid that I won't be able to get married?
Su Daniu laughed as she spoke.
Su A-Niang poked Su Daniu's forehead with her finger, glared and said: "I'm really not ashamed, what girl's family is like you, and she dares to mention her own family affairs with a big grin, if you let outsiders listen, you still think that you are the girl who has no rules, and you are not allowed to say this in the future!
Su Daniu muttered: Got it. After speaking, he touched his forehead.
After the laughter was over, Su Yu opened his mouth to mention the vinegar recipe: Mother, the vinegar recipe has been bought, and we will trade it in a few days, and when the time comes, the vinegar recipe will not be in our hands.
Su Yu said squarely, and said solemnly: We have to remember, when outsiders ask in the future, we only say that we don't have that recipe, the vinegar is made by others, don't talk about the rest.
When Su A-Niang heard this, she was excited and worried, she pulled Su Yu's hand and said: Who did you sell that recipe to? Is that family reliable, will it say that it leaks?
Su Yudao: Mother, don't worry, that person is naturally reliable. After Su Yu finished speaking, he added another sentence, it was introduced by Dr. Fang's family.
As soon as Su A-Niang heard that it was Dr. Fang who introduced her, she immediately relieved her heart, and she let out a long sigh: That vinegar recipe has now become a hot potato.
Su Daniu also said: Yes, if it weren't for the plague, we wouldn't know that vinegar has this function, which is also a good thing.
Su Yu said with a smile: Mother, eldest sister, don't think about these things that are not there, we should treat the incident of Mrs. Zhang's coming over as if it never happened, what should we do, but don't be in a bad mood for the sake of unwarranted family affairs.
Su A-Niang nodded and said something, although she said so, she was still very worried in her heart, the family affairs of the two daughters, the safety of the eldest son, and the whereabouts of the father-in-law...... It's all in her heart, where to put it.
Su Yudao: Mother, I'll go and see the vinegar tank, it may snow next year, I have to change their positions. After Su Yu finished speaking, he walked out of the house.
Su Daniu also said: I have to talk to Xiaobao about the vinegar recipe, but I can't let him leak his mouth.
Su A-Niang said: Go ahead. Wait a minute, didn't the second girl boil the water, you go to the kitchen end and send it to Xiaobao, they are both endorsing and reading, they must be dry and thirsty.
Got it! Su Daniu walked out as she spoke.
Su A-Niang told in the back: Erniu said that the wild chrysanthemum tea can clear heat and detoxify, and also give them some brewing, and they must be allowed to drink it. Wild chrysanthemums are picked in the mountains, and they don't need money, and Su A-Niang is very generous to this kind of thing that doesn't cost money.
Su Daniu stopped when she heard this, she turned her head and said: Mother, Xiaobao and Xiaole hate this smell, saying that it has a strange smell.
Su Aniang's face was flat: What a strange smell, that is the smell of chrysanthemum tea, their noses are like dog noses, they can't smell at all, they don't even eat the coriander on the street, they have to pick them out one by one, how bad it is, just soak it for them, and smelt their bad habits.
Su Daniu got this, went to the kitchen with a wicked smile, she took three bowls of flower tea to the study, and watched Xiaobao and the three of them drink the tea in their stomachs with a smile, and then let them go.
After Xiaobao and Xiaole finished drinking, they stuck out their tongues, eager to spit out all the taste in their mouths.
Gao Ping was very calm, and he was whispering again.
When Su Yu came out, he found that Bai Fan was not there, did he go out again? Su Yu didn't care, Bai Fan was leaving tomorrow, anyway, it was the last two days, so let him be.
Su Yu moved a small part of the vinegar jars outside into the house, the weather was not right, Su A-Niang said that there was snow, Su Yu was afraid that something would happen to the vinegar, so they all moved to the house, at least ambiguously.
Su Yu touched the sweat on his head, and when he walked out of the house, he saw Bai Fan walking in from outside the courtyard, and came to look for her in a hurry, he said: Miss Su, is my young master invited?
Su Yu asked: Isn't it in a hurry?
Bai Fan lowered his voice and said: A distinguished guest has come, he is very interested in this vinegar, and the young master wants to invite you to go over and discuss this matter together.
Guest?
What distinguished guests?
Bai Fan said again: The young master came here in advance this time all for that distinguished guest, if it weren't for this, the young master would not have come over at all.
Su Yu asked him: Who is that distinguished guest?
Bai Fan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head and said: Just know if you go.
Su Yu asked again: Since you are a distinguished guest, where can you see a small person like me, why are you looking for me?
Bai Fan looked at Su Yu and reminded: Vinegar can smelt the plague, he is ...... The people of the imperial court.
