Chapter 138: It's done
Yu Xiaocao secretly gave him an expression of "you are really on the way", and continued to use the strategy of mourning. The big eyes that are more innocent and pitiful than the fawn, anyone who sees it will soften their hearts.
"Sanshao, what you said is true? Then Jiang Siniang's parents just let her come out and show up? Liu seemed to be moved.
Zhou Zixu raised his eyebrows at Zhao Han and continued: "The emperor of the dynasty supports the improvement of women's status!" After hearing about Jiang Siniang's deeds, the emperor also specially praised the sentence 'Women don't let their eyebrows'. Jiang Siniang's parents didn't support it at first, just like your aunt. But with the emperor's approval, it will not be hindered slowly. Now, Jiang Siniang's mother, when she is too busy, will help take care of some trivial things in the embroidery room! ”
"Yes...... A girl, who shows her head like this, how can she marry in the future! "Liu's worries turned out to be here.
Zhou Zixu smiled: "Don't worry about this. That Jiang Siniang is famous, and the people who ask for marriage are about to break the threshold. I heard that the eldest son of the prime minister, who is the eldest grandson of the president of Rongxuan Academy in our town, also has a heart of admiration for Jiang Siniang, a self-reliant and self-reliant heroine. I have already asked someone to talk about the matchmaker, and it is said that eight or nine are not far from ten! ”
"A businessman, to the prime minister's son? You're not fooling your aunt, are you? "Liu seems to have heard the Arabian Nights, and it's hard to believe.
"If you don't believe me, go and ask! Now the criteria for choosing a wife for nobles in Beijing are no longer those ladies who are three from four virtues, but talented and virtuous women who are confident and self-reliant. The emperor said: A woman who is confident and self-reliant is the most beautiful! ”
Yu Xiaocao listened to Zhou Zixu's statement, and was full of curiosity and admiration for this high-flying fellow. After experiencing the usurpation of power by Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, he dared to improve the status of women and advocate women's rights, which really dared to defy the condemnation of the world!
Zhou Zixu continued to flicker: "Auntie, with Xiaocao's craftsmanship, after a few years of accumulation, you can definitely grow into a chef!" Jiang Siniang is a master of weaving and embroidery, and the grass is enough to follow her name. Auntie, can you limit Sister Xiaocao to this small place in our Tanggu Town, isn't that blind her good cooking skills? ”
Liu Shi was fooled by him and couldn't find Bei, she glanced at her man hesitantly, and said softly: "Her father...... Or, will you accompany Cao'er on a trip to Fucheng tomorrow? ”
"Thank you, mother! Mother, you're the best!! I love you the most!! Xiaocao was ecstatic, jumped up and hugged Liu, and kissed her on the face a few times.
Liu Shi was caught off guard and was pounced on and sat down in the vegetable field, crushing a few oily wheat vegetables! She angrily and amusedly reprimanded: "You kid, what are you crazy about? Get up!! ”
Yu Hai said tastefully on the side: "Just your mother?" I'm not good at being a father? Don't forget, tomorrow is your dad and I will work hard to accompany you to Fucheng! ”
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly shifted the target and appeased the jealous father: "Dad is also the best!" Xiaocao is so happy, with the best father and mother in the world! ”
"Sycophants!" Xiao Shi lost the opportunity to go to Fucheng because he only had two days off, so he said sourly.
Yu Hang slowly walked to his little brother's side, touched his little head and said, "When you are admitted to Xiucai in the future, and then you will be admitted to the exam, you will have the opportunity to go to Fucheng." If you are envious, you can achieve it by your own efforts! ”
Xiao Shi clenched his fists and said firmly: "Brother! The government exam is not my ultimate goal, my ultimate goal is the palace exam! I will definitely make my father and second sister proud of me! ”
"Hmmm! Brother believes in you! Don't put too much pressure on yourself, as long as you work hard, you won't have any regrets! Yu Hang didn't want his younger brother to destroy the child's nature because of his heavy schoolwork, and while giving him confidence, he didn't forget to take chicken soup for the soul.
Zhou Zixu and Zhao Han felt very fresh about Xiaocao's rarely revealed childish side, and they both showed knowing smiles.
Zhou Zixu was the first to speak: "Xiaocao, Uncle Yu, you won't really walk to Fucheng tomorrow, right?" If you don't rest for a day, you may not be able to get there. Can Sister Grass persevere? ”
Xiaocao was afraid that her father would dispel the idea of letting her go again, so she hurriedly said, "We have Xiao Ash!" It's no problem for our donkey cart to pull four people! ”
Xiaocao's earnest expression and tone amused Zhao Han. He smiled and said, "Our family has two horses, if Uncle Yu can ride horses." When the time comes, my father and I will ride a horse, and Uncle Yu will ride a horse with Xiaocao. ”
"Wow! Brother Han's family has a horse? Two horses? Brother Han's family is so rich! "Due to the turmoil of war at the time of the founding of the country, the price of horses has skyrocketed. Let's put it this way, for the average person, buying a horse is the same as buying a car in a modern era. The cheapest and most ordinary horse costs more than a hundred taels of silver.
Yu Hang knocked on his little brother's head and said with a smile: "What do you envy?" It's not like we can't afford to buy a horse, but we don't need it at this time! When you are admitted to Xiucai, I will buy you a horse! ”
Maybe it's the nature of boys, Xiaoshi is quite persistent about horses at a young age, and when he heard the eldest brother say this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother, can you call the shots?" Isn't our family's money all in the hands of the second sister? ”
Yu Hang pinched his little face, it felt good, no wonder the little sister liked to ravage the little guy's face so much. Before Xiaoshi protested, he let go of his hand and said confidently: "When the eldest brother is well, he will also help the family make money." Don't you believe that the eldest brother can save enough money to buy you a horse when you take the Xiucai exam? ”
Xiao Shi thought that his eldest brother had always been reliable, and he would not boast about going to the sea, so he nodded and said: "Big brother, I believe you!" I'm just waiting for you to buy me a pony!! ”
Over there, Yu Xiaocao and the others are still discussing the way to go to Fucheng. Zhou Zixu glanced at Yu Hai with some concern, and said, "Uncle Yu said that he can ride a horse, but after all, he is rarely unskilled in riding. Then take Sister Xiaocao, a long journey, not *all, right? ”
Zhao Han also seemed to have this concern, he thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, get up early and ride to the town." Isn't there a carriage in the town that goes to Fucheng every morning? The wheels of the carriage were rubber, and the grass was more comfortable to sit on. ”
"I can ride Ash! Ash is very well-behaved, and his feet are not slow! "When it's okay, the grass and rocks will climb on Ash's back and let him run twice on the mountain road.
Although Zhou Zixu was a little uneasy, he also respected Xiaocao's choice. He said to Yu Hai: "Uncle Yu, why don't you ride my horse!" My mount is the docile horse that my mother has chosen for meek. In this way, you can have one horse and one horse, and the road will be easier. ”
"Okay! So do it! Yu Xiaocao decided so happily, thinking about what she should bring with her on this trip. Water, dry food, etc., bring some. There is also entanglement, which is absolutely indispensable......
"Are you still going to sell that ginseng and grass?" The ginseng plant found by Xiao Tangyuan is at least more than 500 years old and is very valuable.
There are many rich people in Fucheng, and it is not difficult to find buyers, but I am afraid of being targeted by people with intentions. Although Zhao Han thinks that with his and his father's skills, a few little thieves are still not a problem. But Xiaocao followed, afraid that she would be frightened. Her body has always been quite weak, and she is scared, but she is not beautiful.
"Ginseng? What ginseng? Zhou Zixu saw Zhao Han's solemn face, and also asked.
Xiaocao said casually: "The wild ginseng I dug up in the mountains last time is some years old, and I am going to sell it for money." ”
"If it's some years of old ginseng, if you don't lack money to spend, I advise you to keep it, just in case in the future. After all, old ginseng is hard to find in our ancient Tang Town. Zhou Zixu thinks long-term. Xiaocao and her mother are not in good health, if there is an old ginseng at home, if something happens, they can also save the emergency.
Zhao Han nodded in agreement: "I think so too!" After all, it's more than 500 years old......"
"Ginseng that is more than 500 years old? Do you still sell it? Are you stupid?? Keep it, you have to keep it!! Do you know? In a big pharmacy like Tongrentang in the town, it is rare to see a hundred years old ginseng, let alone more than five hundred years old? If you're short of money, you can take it from me! Ginseng must not be sold!! ”
When Zhou Zixu heard about this vintage, he almost jumped up. A family like theirs that has been accumulating for hundreds of years has only a ginseng that is more than 500 years old in the treasury. Last time, his grandfather had an illness, and if he hadn't cut a few ginseng whiskers to make soup, he might not have survived! More than 500 years old ginseng, others can't buy it with money, and still sell it? It's really in the eyes of money!
"If you don't sell, you won't sell! Why are you so excited? Yu Xiaocao secretly rolled her eyes. However, it's better to keep it! Although she now has the cheating device of the Little Mending Heaven Stone, its spiritual power will always recover one day. If the cheat is gone, this old ginseng may be able to save their family's life.
After telling Xiaocao and his son about the time to leave tomorrow, Zhao Han said goodbye and left. He also had to go home and prepare for the reason for going to Fucheng.
On Wednesday, Shao had a simple and delicious breakfast at Yu's house, and took Yu Hai to the donkey cart that sold braised vegetables at the wharf and went to the construction site of the wharf oyster sauce workshop. At the most critical time, he is not at ease if he doesn't stare at it!
At this time, the carriage of the Yao family and Zhenyulou to transport vegetables also arrived. The tomatoes planted by Yu Xiaocao became the most harvested vegetable.
Tomatoes watered with Lingshi water are a rare delicacy whether they are eaten raw, stir-fried, or stewed. If eaten raw, it is sweet and sour, and has a lot of juice, which not only quenches thirst but also tastes good. When it comes to cooking, there are many kinds of dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried tofu with tomatoes, fried rice cakes with tomatoes, and beef brisket with tomatoes...... Yu Xiaocao can make dozens of dishes without repeating them.
