Chapter Ninety-Six: The Favorite Scholar
For the sake of insurance, after a while, Su Xiaoluo asked the guards to climb the tree to pick up the hive, found a few large leaves to wrap the hive, and several people planned to go around elsewhere.
"Girl, brown bear, they told you to wait." The red fox stood in front of Su Xiaoluo and didn't allow her to go.
Su Xiaoluo called a few little squirrels and asked them to take the maids and guards to pick wild fruits.
Holding the red fox in his arms, he looked at the two white tiger cubs at his feet, sitting on the bluestone slab and waiting for the brown bear.
About a quarter of an hour later, two brown bears came over with clay pots and placed them at Su Xiaoluo's feet.
"Here it is...... Honey? "Bears love honey, Su Xiaoluo knows, the question is, where do they come from?
"The clay pot is cleaned, it's not ordinary honey, it's royal jelly! There are a lot of ordinary honey on the mountain, tomorrow you can send the jar up the mountain, we are responsible for helping you get it, I dare not say more, ten cans of eight cans are absolutely no problem. The brown bear told Su Xiaoluo.
Royal jelly is a good thing, Su Xiaoluo circled around the jar and lowered his head to smell it.
Royal jelly does not have such a strong aroma, and the taste is not as sweet as ordinary honey, but it is many times more nutritious than honey.
"Thank you! In the future, when I have money and free time, I will build a row of houses in the col over there, and when the time comes, I will keep rooms for all of you, and we will be neighbors! Su Xiaoluo does have such a plan.
"Good! The brown bear, the red fox and the white tiger cub all thought it was a good idea, and the red fox had no other requirements and proposed to live with Su Xiaoluo.
The two white tiger cubs should also be treated equally, Su Xiaoluo pondered that he would have to make a super large and super sturdy bed in the future, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep!
At noon, I roasted game on the mountain and ate a full meal, and when I went home, Su Xiaoluo still carried white tiger cubs in her basket, and the girls carried baskets full of mushrooms, wild fruits, and wild grapes. The man had the prey on his shoulders and the clay pot in his arms, and the red fox did not follow back, but he wanted to go around the nearby mountains to consolidate the position of the boss, and he must not let other animals take advantage of the situation and take the position of the boss.
"I'm waiting for you at home, and I won't be going out for a while."
"Ten days and eight days at most, I'll go back, you don't have to worry about the honey, I'll mobilize the bears on the mountain to help you get it."
Su Xiaoluo didn't be polite to the red fox, telling it that he would send ten clay pots to the entrance of the cave with Yingyue tomorrow.
After saying goodbye to the red fox, the group went home with a full load, Su Changgeng saw that his niece and maids had a lot of harvest one by one, and decided to follow him up the mountain tomorrow, even if there was no game, pick some mushrooms!
"I'll go too!" Su Fusheng ate a few grapes, and his sour features wrinkled together. Throw away the grapes and go fiddling with the rabbits and clay pots that the guards have brought.
Afraid that he would break the clay pot, Su Xiaoluo asked Yingyue and Tingyu to carry the jar into the house.
"Xiaoluo, did you take the jar up the mountain in the morning?" Su Changan didn't remember that his daughter brought these things when she went up the mountain.
Su Xiaoluo laughed twice: "It's royal jelly from the brown bear, the jar is clean, and I haven't smelled any peculiar smell."
The girl now has a red fox and a white tiger to give ginseng, a little squirrel to bring nuts and game, and now there are more brown bears to help make honey, and her ability is big enough.
This child will not be hungry and will not suffer losses when he goes out in the future, as long as he does not meet the kind of bad guy who has bad mental skills and high martial arts, there is no need to worry about her at all.
"Xiaoluo, the second uncle will follow you in the future, it's great to have food, drink and things to get back." Su Changgeng heard that his niece was going to make wine, so he asked her to bring a jar for herself.
"Go home and ask your daughter-in-law for something!" Su Qin's beat his son with a stick, and he knew that he took advantage of his granddaughter, why didn't he let the two children of the Qian family go to pick mountain goods and let his daughter-in-law soak in wine.
"Mother, I don't want to go back to that home now, Zhang Xingye either mentions that Qian Baogen should ask for a daughter-in-law every day, or that it is time to prepare a dowry for Qian Baozhen. She and I quarrel every day about these things, and I'm annoyed to death! Su Changgeng complained.
This thing is not easy to do, Zhang Xingye took the two children into the Su family, which was approved by their family, it stands to reason that the Qian Baogen brothers and sisters should change their surnames to Su, and then Su Changgeng will pay for his daughter-in-law and buy a dowry.
The Qian family and Zhang Xingye did not agree to the child's surname change, and of course Su Changgeng was unwilling to give money to the two of them, this matter could only be resolved through communication between the two parties, and there was no good way to do anything else.
"I don't agree with Qian Baozhen and they changed their surname to Su, since they didn't change it when they entered the door, they won't have to do it in the future!" Su Qin's attitude was expressed, and Su Chang'an also agreed with this, and Su Changgeng had no opinion.
It is inconvenient for Su Xiaoluo to express her opinion on this matter, after all, she is just a junior, as long as Zhang Xingye does not go too far, she will not be able to say anything.
For a few days, Su Xiaoluo shuttled between the fields and Xiaoqingshan, and would use her free time in the morning and evening to check the progress of the granary and cellar, and the wild pepper seeds she brought back had been planted in flower pots and placed on the square table in Su Xiaoluo's room, and Tinker Bell would move them outside to bask in the sun during the day.
On the fifth day of Su Xiaoluo's return, Zhang Xingye brought Qian Baozhen over to visit Su Qin and Fusheng, in fact, he wanted to discuss Qian Baozhen's family affairs with them.
There is a scholar in the next village, it is said that the full belly is a famous talent in Daxing County, the first time he was ready to take the exam, his father died of illness, and his mother was injured in farm work when he was preparing for the second exam for three years, and he collapsed directly on the bed.
I am twenty-six this year, and I plan to take the autumn exam, and then go to the capital to catch the exam, ambitious and ready to get the top three.
He threatened that as long as someone paid all kinds of expenses for himself to help take care of his paralyzed mother, he could marry the other party.
When Zhang Xingye learned the news, he didn't discuss it with Su Changgeng, so he asked the matchmaker to talk to him, and told him about his daughter and the Su family's conditions, and the other party asked Zhang Xingye to build a new house, and then give 20 acres of land.
How can Zhang Xingye have the ability to build a house and land! As soon as he and Su Changgeng made the other party's request, they were scolded back, and Su Changgeng said that he had a house and land to keep for his son, so why should he give Qian Baozhen a dowry.
Qian Baozhen secretly went to see the scholar, weak and fair-skinned, and he looked very learned at a glance, if he married him, the girls in Liulin Village would be envious.
Both mother and daughter liked the scholar very much, and they couldn't discuss it with Su Changgeng, so they had to fight the old lady's idea, and Qian Baogen also persuaded the two of them that if they couldn't get a dowry, don't worry about other people's things.
Qian Baozhen didn't want to listen to this, and laughed at Qian Baogen if he didn't care about the Su family's house and land, why didn't he move out by himself, and why he couldn't get what he wanted.
Qian Baogen was angry and ran away, Zhang Xingye discussed it with Qian Baozhen and decided to come over to try his luck.
