Chapter 44: Su Jun's Loyalty
This Spring Festival, Su Mansion is unusually lively, because there are too many people.
Su Pingyang spent 6,000 taels of silver to buy 10,000 stone of rice, 10,000 stone of wheat noodles, and the treasury in the house was full, because the purchase volume was very large, and the price was relatively cheap, the rice was three dollars and five cents and one stone, and the wheat noodles were two dollars and five cents and one stone, which was also what the young master meant, saying that he should save as much food as possible.
On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, one hundred and twenty-seven people came to the mansion at once, and there were thirty-seven girls, including Wang Furong.
After careful selection, Su Pingyang selected four girls to follow Su Tiancheng's side, with Wang Furong as the main one. Su Tiancheng only rolled his eyes at Su Pingyang's arrangement, you think I am a god, what do you want so many girls around, but Su Pingyang has already arranged it, and he is not easy to object.
The remaining 90 people, including Wang Dazhi, Ma Huabiao and others, were divided into two groups, Wang Dazhi was in charge and took one group, and Ma Huabiao, as Wang Dazhi's deputy, took one group.
Wang Dazhi was really powerful, and when he arrived at Su Mansion, after two days of rest, he immediately began to train.
The few people brought by Ma Huabiao are said to be in good health, and during the training, they are all a little grinning, not to mention these half-grown men who have just arrived in Su Mansion. However, the situation was as Su Tiancheng predicted, none of these people complained bitterly, they couldn't bear it, and they all hid aside and cried secretly.
Su Tiancheng really couldn't stand it, but he couldn't dampen Wang Dazhi's enthusiasm.
He found an opportunity, called Wang Dazhi to the kitchen, pointed to a big pot of wheat noodles, and asked Wang Dazhi to eat it, Wang Dazhi was also straightforward, saying that he couldn't eat so much, Su Tiancheng said with a smile, training is to take it slowly, don't think about it overnight, you Wang Dazhi can't eat so much food in one go, then when training, you must be patient, according to everyone's physique, you can't reach it quickly.
Wang Dazhi quickly understood.
Among them, Wang Dazhi is so anxious, there is also a reason, after knowing that Wang Furong, the younger sister of the Dao, became the personal maid of the young master, Wang Dazhi's attitude completely changed, what does the personal maid mean, of course he understands, that is to say, his sister will be the young master's woman in the future, although it is impossible to become the original wife, but the name of the concubine is certain, and the sister is the first woman to come to the young master's side, and the status must not be bad.
Based on this understanding, Wang Dazhi regarded the young master as a relative.
The life of Su Mansion is not to be said, there is pork to eat every meal, and there are chickens, ducks and fish every other day, this kind of life was unimaginable before, and the nursing home can also get a monthly remuneration of two taels of silver, the young master is so willing, if the people who come to the mansion, how to say the past, so when training, he is ruthless.
All the nursing homes, gritted their teeth and insisted, no one flinched, and it was also for this reason that they were able to eat well and feed their families.
Wang Dazhi's matter is a small matter, and what really gives Su Tiancheng a headache is Wang Furong.
Life is good, dress is good, Wang Furong's advantages are revealed, the vegetables on her face have disappeared, her skin has become fair, her body has slowly begun to develop, and the important thing is that her mind has changed.
When I arrived at the young master's side, Wang Furong found out the advantages of the young master, never said anything serious, was very respectful to girls, and was really treated as equals, and the girls who came to the young master's side were all rural before, and they were not very familiar with the rules of large families, how to serve, and it was not clear, some things were not very good, but the young master never lost his temper, all with a smile, and said patiently, after all, it was a little girl, in such an environment, there was no scruple in the future, there were talking and laughing, and things were not done well, It's also grimacing.
After all, Wang Furong is older, and sometimes she can't watch it, so she stood up and said a few words to teach her a proper lesson.
Of course, Wang Furong is in charge of the maid, and her identity is naturally different, and she can directly enter the young master's bedroom.
Su Tiancheng has moved to live in the courtyard to the east, which was directly arranged by Su Pingyang, and when the master left, he also told him that the young master had to move into the courtyard in the east.
Wang Furong is already at the age of the beginning of love, by Su Tiancheng's side, for a short time, she sees herself as Su Tiancheng's person, to have such a destination, she never dreamed of it, so when doing things, the attitude is completely different, the young master originally ordered, serve tea and water, including the matter of washing feet, you can serve, but the matter of dressing, or come by yourself, Wang Furong disagreed, insisted on dressing the young master every morning, fortunately, the young master's temper was good, and he persisted for about a day, and he was defeated.
Su Tiancheng is the age of blood and strength, every morning, there is a beautiful girl to dress himself, he feels extremely painful, after all, Wang Furong is only fifteen years old, his heart can not accept a woman of such an age, he is only eighteen years old, and he has not yet reached the age of eighteen.
It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty didn't have such rules, and girls who started a family between the ages of fifteen and sixteen abounded.
Wang Furong's intentions, how could he not understand, if he was willing, people would have come to warm the bed a long time ago.
It's the twentieth day of the first month in a blink of an eye.
Su Mansion has always been very lively, the nursing home and the girl's parents, most of them have come to Su Mansion to see, Su Pingyang made proper arrangements, they are all warm reception, not only full and well-fed, but also to take away some food, these people saw the climate of Su Mansion, saw the lively children, and were happy in their hearts.
Wang Dazhi's mother even lived in the house for a few days.
Knowing that her daughter had become the young master's personal maid, the woman folded her hands and said that this was the blessing of the master, and she had found the best home for her son and daughter.
On the twenty-ninth day of the first month, Su Jun returned.
Behind Su Jun was a mighty convoy, and all the ones pulled back were sweet potato seeds.
The big families in Pingyang Mansion City didn't know what the sweet potato was, and they all felt surprised, what kind of trouble is this, can this thing be eaten.
The tenants of the Su family have already dug a cellar according to Su Tiancheng's arrangement to store sweet potato seeds, including sweet potatoes to be harvested in the future.
Sweet potato seeds do not need to be pulled to Fucheng, and in the suburbs, they are all unloaded and stored in the cellar.
In this process, Su Tiancheng personally commanded and said a lot of precautions, the most important thing is that the cellar cannot be completely sealed, and the cellar mouth should be opened all the time, and it should be turned down every seven days to take a look and turn it appropriately.
Su Tiancheng's words, the tenants have already been worshiped as gods.
Every tenant, during the Spring Festival, began to chop straw and straw, which was also arranged by the young master.
After returning to the house, Su Tiancheng said that Su Jun had worked hard, so he went to reunite with Yuhuan quickly, and during the Chinese New Year, he was running outside.
Soon after Su Jun left, he quickly asked to see him.
After coming in, Su Jun immediately knelt down with tears in his eyes.
"The young master's great kindness and virtue, the little one will never forget it for the rest of his life, if there is anything in the future, the young master will arrange it."
"Su Jun, hurry up, what's wrong with you."
Su Jun knelt on the ground, unwilling to get up, tears finally flowed out, and soon, Yuhuan also came over and knelt down with Su Jun.
Seeing Yuhuan coming, Su Tiancheng understood the reason.
"Su Jun, Yuhuan, hurry up, I said it a long time ago, what I say must be done, things that have passed, don't think so much, do things well, Su Jun will assist your uncle in the future and manage the mansion well."
After Su Jun calmed down, he specially reported this experience to Su Tiancheng, he actually didn't do too much, after handing over the wooden box to the people in Fuzhou, everything was specially organized, the time was very fast, less than half a month, he set off with the convoy, he was originally talking about the freight, but the person in charge of transportation said that the freight had already been paid, that is to say, Su Jun went out this time, in fact, he spent the money for sweet potato seeds.
After finishing speaking, Su Jun took out the remaining fifteen taels of gold, he went out this time, with twenty-five taels of gold, he didn't expect Fuzhou sweet potato seeds, surprisingly cheap, two coins of silver for one stone, bought five hundred and fifty stones, spent ten taels of gold, as for the living expenses on the road, he used his own silver.
"Su Jun, if you take five taels of gold, it can be regarded as a reward for you, including living expenses along the way, which can't make you pay for it yourself."
"Young master, the little one is grateful for your reward, but this is what the small one should do, the small one used to have a lot of things, and it was not done well, the young master forgives me, the little one is already very grateful, this reward, the small one can't ask for it."
"Hehe, if you have such an understanding, it's good, since it's a reward for you, you can take it, and give the rest of the gold to your uncle, and that's it."
