Chapter 150: The gods step above Brother An
Bu An didn't know anything about this world at the beginning, so he crashed into Tianmu Academy in a daze, making a lot of jokes;
On the boat from Yuezhou to Jiaxing, Bu An took advantage of the flower girl's eagerness to show the strength of Linglong Fang, and learned about the situation of Qinglong Bu and Su from her. From the family tree to the farmhouse industry, almost everything is covered.
In order not to make the flower girl suspicious, Bu An pays great attention to the skills of asking questions, and tries to use divergent and enlightening questions to set the flower girl's words, such as a sentence: "Who is in power in the Su family now?" can let the flower girl analyze for him inside and out for a long time.
From these conversations, he can also see that Hua Yihan is indeed very dedicated, and in just a few months, he has a clear understanding of the social relationship of the "employer". The flower girl is in Yuezhou, and it is not easy to understand the two families in Jiaxing to such a detailed degree.
Stepping into the gate of Su Mansion, Bu An checked the information he knew, and looked at this deep mansion compound that was several times larger than Yuezhou Linglong Fang.
In these years, the Qinglong Bu family was once the richest man in Jiaxing, and the in-laws of the Su family were naturally not small households. But then again, although the industry and commerce of the Great Liang Dynasty were more developed than those of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the other world, the status of merchants was limited after thousands of years under the Confucian ideology of valuing agriculture over commerce.
There is no dignitary in the genealogy of the Qinglong Bu clan (Bu Hongxuan has only made his fortune in the past ten years), Bu Hongyuan is a businessman, and his wife Su Xiu'e is just the second daughter of a big merchant in Qinglong Town.
The ancestors of the Su family were sugar merchants, twenty or thirty years ago began to get involved in weaving, and they were also the most important sea merchants in Jiaxing Mansion, this generation of Ding Xingwang, in addition to Xiu'e, there are three men and three women under the knees of the grandmother, since the death of the old lady six years ago, the eldest son Su Chengen has become a family.
Just looking at the attitude of the old servant, Bu An knew that the grandmother of the Su family was very close to his grandson, but all the way through the door and the younger slaves, they only didn't see themselves, which shows that the rest of the Su family doesn't treat themselves very well as a person with a foreign surname.
This situation is also reasonable. Su Xiu'e died early, the grandmother felt sorry for her daughter, and it was reasonable to say that Aiwu and Wu had some special feelings for Bu'an, and the pampered old woman was usually overflowing with sympathy, and the more miserable Bu'an lived in Bu'an's house, the more she could arouse her compassion.
A person with a foreign surname has received the grace of "extra", which will naturally attract all kinds of white eyes.
Walking in the courtyard of the Su Mansion of Nuoda, Bu An suddenly realized that his status in the Su Mansion was somewhat similar to Lin Daiyu's situation in Jia Mansion. As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't help but grin.
The maid who passed by saw his expression and avoided it with a surprised face.
After three or four round arches, and then through a small courtyard, Bu An finally saw the grandmother of the Su family. This "grandmother" who has never met is only in her sixties, wearing a satin cardigan blouse embroidered with green and gold, her head and hands are full of gold and jade, she is not tall, her body is slightly fat, and she looks like a good-tempered old lady.
As soon as the old lady saw Bu An, she hugged him and asked long and short questions, although she was a little verbose, but she also avoided Bu An's worries - according to the rules, you should kowtow, but Bu An really didn't have this habit, when he worshipped Tu Yao as a teacher, he was twisted and pinched.
The grandmother of the Su family doesn't seem to be able to speak official dialect (the official dialect of this world is a bit like Nanjing dialect, which is said to be unified when the former Zhao Ding capital Jiangning was unified), and speaks a Jiaxing dialect, fortunately, the Jiaxing dialect is also the same as the Huating dialect that Bu'an was familiar with in his previous life, he can listen and speak, and there is no obstacle to communication.
Bu An originally thought that he had made a good appearance in Yuezhou, and his reputation should have spread to Jiaxing, and the Su family, as a big businessman, should be more well-informed than ordinary people, but unexpectedly, the grandmother of the Su family didn't know anything about what he had done outside for more than half a year, and he didn't even know that he went to Yuezhou.
The old man asked back and forth, but it was just some trivial things such as food and clothing, and Bu'an still had the mentality of coping at first, but in the process of asking and answering, he gradually gave birth to a trace of warmth that he had never experienced. In a trance, he seemed to have really become the Bu'an of this world, born in this coastal town, with a grandmother who was a little nagging, but cared about him in her heart.
This feeling is not strong, in the final analysis, he came to Su Mansion not to find his roots and find love, but because he entered the official career as a white person, and if he wants to pass the evaluation of the officials, in addition to the work of quelling the chaos, he also needs to be protected by his relatives.
The Qinglong Bu clan is now in charge of Bu Hongxuan, naturally no one will come to promote him as an official, and the only one who Bu An can seek help from is the Su family.
The grandmother of the Su family took a long time before she looked at Su Su and said, "This scholar is a child, did your ruthless uncle buy it for you?"
Bu'an said the origin of the apocryphal Su again, the grandmother saw that this boy was born white and handsome, but so hard, she couldn't help but sigh, I heard that Bu'an named this boy "Su Su", while wiping the corners of her eyes with a sleeve, while touching the back of Bu'an's hand and sighed: "An'er is sensible, mother-in-law didn't hurt you in vain......"
Bu An didn't expect that the name he had improvised at the beginning would slap the Su family's ass by mistake, and secretly glanced at Su Su, each of whom made a grimace.
The old man chattered for a long time before he told the old servant to take "Young Master An" down to rest, and then Bu'an was led to a small courtyard deep in the backyard. This courtyard is not far from the main house where the Su family's grandmother lives, and it is cleaned up, it seems that it is specially reserved for Bu'an, maybe Su Xiu'e lived here before she left the pavilion.
There was an ugly maid in her early twenties in the courtyard, presumably Bu An who served him every time he came to Su Mansion. The maid is ugly, not that the Su family is partial, and they leave the crooked melons and cracked dates to Bu'an, but the rules of the big family - for fear that the little boy will not be able to control it, mess with the maid, and hurt his body.
Now that Bu An himself moved in with the scholar, he naturally had a reason to take this ugly girl with a frown, but as soon as the maid left, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl ran over.
This girl stepped on small black leather boots, wore a white thin fox fur, goose egg face, willow eyebrows, almond eyes, although the bridge of her nose was a little collapsed, but she was still a little beauty.
As soon as the little beauty entered the courtyard, she shouted in the Jiaxing dialect: "Brother Bu'an......"
Bu An was thrilled when he heard it, not because he was smacked by the other party, but because the three words "Brother Bu An" were pronounced in Jiaxing dialect, which had a layer of meaning that made him creepy.
He subconsciously went to look at Su Su, but saw that the little girl looked at the thin girl with a vigilant face, and there was no other abnormal reaction.
There is also a god above the gods, claiming to be the first god who opened the world, Brother Bu An...... It can't be so bloody, right?
