Chapter 20 Don't Reward

Su Wan got a good ranking, and Ji's place suddenly became more lively.

In addition, Su Wan's age was there, and some people began to inquire about family affairs with the Ji family.

"Mrs. Thorn Shi, although this fifth lady in your house is not common, but when I see it today, it makes people a little unable to take their eyes off, I don't know if there is a marriage match?" A dignified-looking lady asked.

Ji turned his head and saw that it was the wife of the city guard of Sioux City.

If you talk about the central figure of power in Su City, the first thing is that it must come from the assassin Shi of the Su family.

Then there is the person who holds the post of captain of the castle.

In Dachengguo, in fact, this assassin and the position of city guard are both official positions of the third grade.

In terms of strength, the city guard is in charge of the military defense of Sioux City, and the assassin is a civilian, so you can know at a glance which one is stronger and which is weak.

But because the Su family has a Su Yu, this is a good ancestor, with the name of the founding hero, and it makes the history of Su Cheng different from other provinces.

In this way, the assassination history of Sioux City has overpowered the city guards, at least on the surface.

Today's city guard is surnamed Gu, and his wife is naturally called 'Mrs. Gu'.

"Could it be that Mrs. Gu has taken a fancy to the five girls of my family?" Ji asked with a smile.

Mrs. Gu asked directly, and it is understood that there are really men of appropriate age in the family.

Could it be that Su Wan had good luck, and the first time he went out, he was looked at by Mrs. Gu.

"Mrs. Thorn Shi laughed, my daughter's family's family affairs, I don't dare to talk nonsense, the reason why I have this question is to look at the fifth lady to describe amiable, and her temperament is also steady, it just so happens that when the lotus flowers in the house are in full bloom, my son Man'er wants to invite more young ladies and young masters, it is difficult to guarantee, which cannot be a few pairs of couples"

Mrs. Gu has an only daughter, Gu Man, who is Mrs. Gu's treasure.

To what extent this treasure is, you can see it by just looking at the lotus flower in Mrs. Gu's mouth.

When Gu Man was young, he just said that he liked lotus flowers and wanted a pool of lotus flowers to keep at home, so the Gu family and his wife worked hard to create a pond of lotus flowers, which accounted for most of the area of Gu's house.

Fortunately, Gu Chang is now fourteen years old, and he still likes lotus flowers very much, otherwise it would really be a waste of the Gu couple's heart.

Also because of this pond of lotus, Gu Man has invited friends to watch during the flowering period in recent years, Su Meng and Su Qing have participated in Gu Man's lotus banquet.

"This is really suitable, but I am not allowed to just invite the five girls," Ji said jokingly.

Gu Man is the treasure in the palm of the Gu family, and it is naturally impossible to invite only one concubine.

"This is natural, Man'er is not young, and I don't know how many more banquets like this can be held," Mrs. Gu sighed.

Children are debts, especially her daughter, who is really reluctant.

However, when Ji heard Mrs. Gu say this, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he deliberately recalled it, as if he hadn't seen Gu Man all the time, so he didn't go out today.

Listening to Mrs. Gu's meaning, she actually had the intention of saying goodbye to Gu Man early.

Or, this lotus feast will not be decided.

According to Gu Man's identity, he can go to the capital and fight for the rich Qingyun Road.

Ji Shi had no solution, and could only put these thoughts aside for the time being.

When the conversation between the two stopped, other ladies came forward to talk, some congratulated the Ji family, the Su family won a good ranking in the Douqiao Competition, and some had a slightly worse status, inquiring about the lotus banquet, wanting to strive for some convenience for the juniors in the family.

In short, it is a real lady diplomacy.

On the contrary, it was Su Wan, who won the ranking, and was ignored at this time.

"Uncle, I don't want to reward me, I see that this lamp is good, why don't I want this lantern" Su Wan said to the old man with a smile.

The old man is still the same old man, an old man who presides over the Douqiao Competition.

Winning the third place, the reward is naturally not bad, there are silver ingots, as well as cloth, etc., all of which are valuable things.

Su Wan is not short of money, her status in the house is a little worse, but the master is the master, she has monthly profits every month, and she has been saving.

But there were many lanterns hanging around the high platform, and one of them caught her eye.

Before they were separated from Su Meng, she bought a lantern for a month of rabbit medicine, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the accident.

There happened to be such a lamp on the high platform, and the workmanship was exquisite, even better than the one she had bought before.

It's just that the old man looked a little surprised, and he didn't say if he could change it.

"Uncle, is this lamp not for sale?" Su Wan asked curiously.

If it's not for sale, she can't force it to buy and sell.

"Miss can fancy the old craft, it is the blessing of the old man, Miss just take it away," the old man said with a smile.

Su Wan's eyes lit up, she really didn't expect that the owner of the lantern was the old man in front of her.

"It turns out that you are still a craftsman, I don't know the old uncle's surname?" Su Wan asked in surprise.

"Craftsman, what a good name, the old man's surname is Ge," Master Ge nodded and said.

Master Ge smiled, and at first glance, he was very satisfied with Su Wan's title.

"It turned out to be Master Ge," Su Wan said with a smile.

Master Ge personally took the lantern to Su Wan, and the reward that belonged to Su Wan was naturally Master Ge's.

Of course, Master Ge did not keep it privately, but handed over the ingots and other items to the government, which would exchange these items for daily necessities and give them to those who needed them.

After that, the other big ladies who had been rewarded saw Su Wan's approach, so they followed suit and used the same way to deal with it.

Su Wan's move once again earned a reputation for the Su family.

The curtain came down on the Douqiao Competition, and everyone at the Lantern Festival began to return home.

Su Wan was the same as when he came, and returned home in a carriage with Ji and Su Meng.

Along the way, Ji took Su Wan's hand, praised Su Wan for his good manners, and reprimanded Su Meng, bluntly saying that Su Meng did not fulfill her responsibility as a sister, and let Su Wan encounter danger.

If it weren't for knowing how much the Ji family loved Su Meng on weekdays, Su Wan would have thought that she was the daughter of the Ji family.

Facing Su Meng's apologetic gaze from time to time, Su Wan always smiled in return, signaling Su Meng not to take it to heart.

After a night of waves, when I returned to the Begonia Courtyard, it was already the second half of the night.

After being served by green clothes to wash up, Su Wan didn't feel much sleep.

"Green clothes, can there be wine?" Su Wan asked.

Green's eyes widened.

"Miss, you are going to drink, the hour is not early, you should rest, and drinking hurts your body, the slave knows that you are scared today, but it is not appropriate to drink, otherwise, the slave will make you a bowl of soothing soup" The green chatter said.

She was also really guilty, and when she came back, she didn't even think of getting Su Wan a soothing soup to drink.

Now that Su Wan is begging for wine, she is really embarrassed.

"There is no need for soothing soup, after all, it is medicine, and drinking too much will hurt the body, as for wine, I will drink a little bit"

Su Wan said as he gestured with his fingers, about five millimeters.
