Three years later, the autumnal equinox

Su Lingyu sat on the back of a buffalo, holding a flute in his hand, and whining and playing. The flute does not become a tune, it does not become a tune, but it becomes an annoying noise.

"San'er has gone down the mountain. Are you going to see the fields? ”

"San'er's flute is really good."

This man is really good at speaking ill-conceived words!

But so what, there are really a lot of people who please Su Lingyu like this.

Why please this kid?

Because she allowed the villagers to increase their yield per mu and increased their income. She taught them how to raise double palace cocoons and how to feed chickens, ducks and geese, which won the respect of the villagers.

A cart and horse galloped from the side of the road, and the villagers pushing wheelbarrows on the side of the road quickly dodged.

The carriage and horse stopped at the old site of the Su family, looked for the slave of the Su family and asked a question, then turned into the mountain road, and soon disappeared in front of Su Lingyu's eyes.

Who are the carriages and horses? She didn't know. The coachman is very familiar, like Guan Xiaopeng, the servant of the big radish.

She patted the buffalo and said, "Let's go home and see." ”

The green ox, which had eaten a mouthful of grass, raised its head, chewed on the grass, and walked back slowly.

A year ago, Su Lingyu established a villa on the mountain, although there are no carved beams and painted columns, but bricks are used as corners, and stone slabs are still used on the ground.

With such a magnificent square courtyard, who would want to live in a mud house? The Su family moved up the mountain, and the old site was left to the servants to live in.

The trail is gentle, the buffalo is easy to walk on, and she sits steadily. Chrysanthemum seeds are sprinkled on both sides of the road, sown in spring, carefully cared for in summer, and colorful chrysanthemums in the autumn equinox.

Leisurely people watched, strolled and admired; People who are running around and toiling only sigh for beauty.

The sound of horses came, and the servant Agui rode down, and when he saw the third lady, he only said, "The master ordered me to invite Dr. Wu." ”

As he spoke, he flashed past Su Lingyu.

Hurry to the doctor, who is injured? Big turnips?

After General Sun took charge of this area, there were many fewer mountain bandits, and there were not many robbers in the middle of the night. What did you encounter on the way?

Su Lingyu hurried home, entered the compound and didn't see anyone, went to the left wing, and saw people's voices moving. Hearing the sound of the big radish, the hanging heart let go.

Stepping into the gatehouse, he asked, "Who is hurt?" ”

"An old man." Kapok said.

Su Zhang patted Kapok's head and told her not to talk nonsense.

The servant gave her a place, and Su Lingyu was able to get closer, and the first thing she saw was the sick person on the bed. Indeed, as Kapok said, he is an old man.

The old man was thin, and age spots climbed up his cheeks, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he had goosebumps. It's just that he has no two flesh in his hands, and his breath is weak, and he should be the one who is about to die.

"Feed some warm water in first, and cut some large tonic pills to soak in water for Mr. to drink." Su Chengqi said.

Su Zhang's went out to get pills.

Su Lingyu put his eyes on Su Chong's body, and was taken aback when he saw it, Su Chong was tall and thin, his eyes were deep-set, and there was black green under his eyelids, as if he had been punched twice.

Three years out, the big radish turned into a dried turnip!

"Why is this happening? And what about the money that was sent? What about eating? All for the dogs? Su Lingyu grabbed Su and looked at it.

I haven't seen him for three years, and San'er has fallen into the water, and his head has reached his shoulders. Facing San'er's concern, Su Chong smiled warmly: "It's okay, it's just that I'm hungry when I return home." It's good to raise it for a month. ”

"Here it is, here comes the warm water." Su Zhang entered the house with warm water.

A bowl of warm water mixed with the Great Tonic Pill was poured down, and the old man's breath gradually strengthened, but he was still very weak.

Su Zhong asked everyone to go out and talk, don't disturb Mr. to rest.

The family hid in Su Chengqi's house, let Kapok go out to let the wind out, and shouted loudly when someone approached.

"Who is he?"

"The dean of the college. The emperor listened to the rumors and beheaded his loyal ministers, among whom were the disciples of the dean. The dean was involved, and the superiors sent people to arrest the dean. The dean got the news in advance and fled overnight. I met him, so I took him home. ”

A few years ago, a decree was issued to abolish the imperial examination, and all scholars could be recommended to enter the court as officials. Since the eighth year of Chengping, non-officials are not allowed to take the imperial court. Scholars who gained fame eight years before Chengping were still exempt from taxes.

The Su family can still enjoy the tax-free policy, but Su Chong can't take the exam. The fame of raising people has been banned. If Su Zhong wants to be an official, he has to be recommended by three officials above the fourth grade.

This decree cut off the way for scholars from poor families to enter the court, and also cut off the way of life for many academies.

Su Chong's academy was also dissolved because of this decree. Why do you stay in the academy without taking the test to gain fame? The classmates all went their separate ways and looked for their own way.

Su Chong had no way out, he had no way to enter the official and was eager to return home, so he packed up his things early and returned home, planning to return home to farm. That's where we are today.

"In order to escape from capture, I ran all the way and finally returned home."

"Someone is chasing after you?" Su Chengqi asked.

"I didn't find any. I was afraid, so I hurried back. The dean fled in the mountains, fell several times, and was tired on the road, so he suddenly fell seriously ill and never recovered. ”

"That's good." Su Chengqi was relieved, "Since the dean is here, we can't ignore him, cure him first, and see where he wants to go." ”

"It's also a sin to harbor criminals, change the name of your dean and say it's a relative of the family." Su Lingyu suggested.

"Let's just say that I am an uncle from my ancestral home." Su Chengqi said.

The ancestral home of the Su family is not here, the Su family is like a rootless duckweed, floating down to Liangguan City and taking root here.

As for where the ancestral home of the Su family was, Su Lingyu didn't ask, and they didn't say anything, as if the three adults were unwilling to mention these things.

I am afraid that there is an unspeakable past that has caused them to leave their ancestral home and come here to live.

The servant Agui brought Dr. Wu Liangyong, who had been seeing a doctor in the village recently, and it was very convenient to find him.

Wu Liangyong diagnosed the dean, cleaned the wounds that should be cleaned, applied medicine to the place where the medicine was applied, and prescribed a warm prescription, "If you eat it for a month, you will be able to get better." ”

Wu Liangyong looked at Su Chong, "Do you want to give me a pulse of the old man?" You're losing a lot of money. ”

"You don't need to worry, just do whatever you want." Su Lingyu put a handful of copper coins in Wu Liangyong's hand. "Third aunt, send off."

"Hey, okay, Dr. Wu, please."

"My prescription is very good, make sure to eat well in half a month. Eldest son, you have to believe me......" Wu Liangyong shouted as he walked back.

originally thought that Su Chong, who had just returned home, would stop him, but when he walked to the gate, he didn't stop. Wu Liangyong left in frustration.

When he left, Su Chong asked why he treated Dr. Wu so rudely.

Su Zhang walked to the kitchen, "He, last time he was drunk, he broke your father's wine vat and soiled San'er's kimchi vask, so angry that San'er didn't allow him to go to the villa." What are you going to eat? Eat a bowl of porridge to pad your stomach first, and then eat chicken at night? ”

"Okay, listen to my mother."
