Chapter 44: Wait for my high school champion day
Su Yi looked at Uncle Lin's hand, carrying a whole bunch of money, that is, one or two pieces of silver, as well as some local products. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A hanging of money is a thousand dollars, which can be exchanged for one or two pieces of silver. In the Bingfeng Continent, one tael of silver can buy six or seven hundred catties of rice, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan in later generations, and an ordinary peasant may work for half a year to save this idle money.
Su Yi hadn't seen so much money since she was six years old, and even the exam she put together for him was only 300 wen, which was only enough to stay in the inn for one night and eat two meals by the way.
Su Yi's eyes swept over the hands of all the villagers present, and found that they were each carrying gifts, and everyone's thank-you gifts were almost no worse than Uncle Lin's.
There was even a little rich man who was carrying a heavy purse in his hand, and when Su Yi looked at it, he understood that there would be at least ten taels of silver in it!
It's just that Su Yi still shook his head and politely refused: "Folks, I'm about to leave the village in the next place, and I don't know where to settle down, I don't have a place to put your gifts, so let's take them back." The gratitude of all the villagers has been understood. ”
If it was a gift from someone with a wealthy family, Su Yi would accept it without hesitation. But the lives of these villagers are not rich, and Su Yi is afraid that she will be uneasy when she accepts this money. What's more, it is estimated that the court's reward will be issued in the next two days, and there will be no shortage of money at that time.
"Hey, nephew Su Xian, I heard the Wu family kid say that you have already been admitted to the martial arts examination, don't you settle down in Lingting Village?" Uncle Lin wondered.
"Because I still want to get a higher rank, I need to go to a bigger place to study. Su Yi smiled.
"I see. Uncle Lin nodded, expressing understanding, and then said, "Then you have to accept our gifts, these are not only our thanks, but also our farewell gifts to you, if you want to refuse, it will be a blow to the feelings of our fellow villagers, the big guy said yes!"
"Yes, Su Yi, you must accept our gifts, if you don't accept them, I won't be able to sleep at night!" one person echoed.
"Since you want to settle down, you must need money more than us, you don't have to mind us, these are our spare money. ”
"Little Brother Su, you can take it. ”
......
The crowd was invited, and the simple folk customs were revealed.
Su Yi's heart was slightly warm, but at this time, Ji County's order behind him said: "Nephew Su Xian, your residence in the county seat has already been decided, you might as well let the villagers put all the gifts on the carriage, anyway, the carriage is very big." ”
"Huh, my place of residence has been decided, when did it happen, why don't I have any news?" Su Yi said in surprise.
"Hehe, let me sell it, and you'll understand when you return to the county. Ji Xianling smiled mysteriously.
Su Yi suddenly felt that the second monk was confused.
"Since this is the case, then everyone's thank you gift will be accepted below, and I thank you here. Su Yi arched his hand and said, "Please go down to the gate of Su Mansion and put the gifts on the carriage." ”
"That's right. Everyone nodded, and followed Su Yi to the door of Su's house.
When she got there, Su Yi saw at a glance that Wu Yu and Tong Xi were helping the two maids to carry their luggage into the car, but Su Shi'er had nothing to do.
Su Shi'er saw that Su Yi was following hundreds of people behind her, and a look of doubt jumped between her eyebrows, Su Yi explained to her, and she suddenly realized.
It's just that Su Shi'er doesn't understand the doorway, but when she saw Su Yi being held in the middle by so many people, she was overjoyed and said: "Sister, I have been in the Su family for more than ten years, and I have never seen the Su family have so many gifts at one time, Yi'er, you are more powerful than the entire Su family." ”
Su Yi suddenly felt embarrassed: The Su family is a wealthy family, and the gifts given by others cannot be bad, among them, if you catch three Su family gift givers, I am afraid that you can withstand the hundreds of people who give gifts to Su Yi now.
"Alas, soldiers are not much more expensive! This sentence is the same when applied to gifts. Su Yi sighed in her heart.
The villagers piled up the gifts next to the carriage, and each thanked Su Yi, who promised them that he would come back to visit the villagers in the future, and everyone left.
Then, Su Yi asked Tong Xi why he was going for so long. After he answered, Su Yi knew that he first went to the military academy to show off and said some of Su Yi's achievements, and then returned to his home to report the good news to his family and show off his identity as a martial artist to his neighbors;
At this time, Wu Yu leaned over and said with a smile: "Su Yi, my father heard about your achievements, and his jaw was about to drag to the ground in surprise, and he even said that our Lingting Village would not be able to produce a genius like you for a thousand years, and shouted that he must build a memorial arch for you, and the construction will start tomorrow, so I asked you if you agree." ”
"This ...... Not really, right?" Su Yi pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Although your family is quite rich, it costs a lot of money to set up an archway." ”
"It's all trifle. Wu Yu waved his hand and smiled, "My father is also going to make your archway as exquisite as possible, and it will be the symbol of our village in the future." What else did my father say, through this recruitment, he can get to the point where he wants to tie up your famous family or something, I don't understand this, anyway, you don't care about spending money. ”
Su Yi couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that this was Uncle Wu's real purpose. Through this memorial arch project, it is equivalent to announcing directly in front of those famous families: I have a very good relationship with Su Shichui, and if you want to tie up Su Shichou?
After understanding Uncle Wu's approach, Su Yi didn't have any disgust, thinking that this was human nature. Moreover, Su Yi and Wu Yu are close friends, so they did not refuse, and let Uncle Wu implement his plan to make a fortune.
Su Yi then asked Wu Yu and Tong Xi about their future plans, and both of them said that their foundation was not solid and they needed to study for a year or two before they were admitted to the generals, and Su Yi also expressed his understanding.
After saying goodbye to the two, Su Yi and Su Shi'er embarked on the road to the county seat together.
The gifts of hundreds of villagers were almost piled up in half of the carriage, so the two adults sat directly on the front seat of the car, allowing Su Yi and Su Shier to talk freely.
Su Yi was very grateful for the care of the two adults.
The unicorn horse luxury car slowly drove away from Lingting Village and drove onto the official road.
In the carriage, Su Yi and the three women were huddled together, Su Shi'er leaned on Su Yi's body almost as a whole, and bursts of incense penetrated into Su Yi's nose, making him feel uneasy.
The two maidservants looked cramped and uneasy in front of Su Yi, the reason was that Su Yi was no longer the poor little boy she used to be, just two days had passed, and now Su Yi's eyebrows were full of heroism and majesty in her eyes, as if she was already a man in charge.
Su Yi saw the frightened looks of the two maidservants, and said with a slight smile: "Sister Wan'er, Sister Ting'er, although I have been admitted to the martial arts, I am still the same as before, and there will be no changes, so you can treat me like before." ”
The maid in Tsing Yi named Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It can really be ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was elbowed by the pink-clothed maid named Ting'er, who said solemnly: "This is not good, we are just subordinates, Su, Master Su, you are the master, there is a difference between the lord and the inferior, and there must be no transgression." ”
Su Yi felt very awkward about the title of "master", but she also understood that the etiquette was like this, so she didn't force it much.
Su Yi looked at Su Shi'er again and said, "Sister Shi'er, after we settle down in Sushui County, you will be the housemother of our family! Then I will ask a few more housekeepers and maids to take care of the housework, and you will be in charge of all the housework, just like the status of the mother-in-law of the Su family!"
Su Shi'er didn't expect that she could have such a day, there was still a look of disbelief in her eyes, and she lowered her head and said: "I, I don't want to be in charge of any family affairs, I will take care of you alone, you are the master of the family." ”
"I am outside the Lord, and you are in the Lord. Su Yi held Su Shi'er's petite hand, felt the slightly rough touch on it due to housework, and said with a firm expression, "Sister Shi'er, I like you." ”
Su Shi'er heard these four words, her heart trembled suddenly, she didn't expect Su Yi to be so direct, so even her breathing became a little heavier, and her pretty face turned red and said: "I, I, and I ...... too"
Su Shi'er hesitated for a long time, but she was a woman, so she was embarrassed to say the next words, so she had to lower her head, only to feel that her face was hot.
The two maids glanced at each other, and they both saw their envy in each other's eyes.
Su Yi said again: "Sister Shi'er, I'm just a martial artist now, and I can't give you any name yet, when I am the top student in high school in the future, I will definitely marry you into the door with a sedan chair, and then put on a full twenty-eight tables of flowing water banquet, so that the whole world knows that Sister Shi'er and I are a match made in heaven!"
Su Shi'er didn't expect to be promised like this by Su Yi, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.
The two maidservants looked at Su Shi'er, full of envy: This is an eight-lift sedan chair and twenty-eight tables of flowing water banquet, which is almost the highest courtesy to a woman in a human wedding, and can only be enjoyed by the emperor's relatives or after the gate. And the two maidservants have no doubt that Su Yi will also be able to afford such a grand wedding in the future.
Wan'er and Ting'er even claimed: "Congratulations to the master, when the master is the champion of high school in the future, you will be the eldest lady of our Su family!"
"You know how to make fun of me!" Su Shi'er covered her face in shame, but then said, "But after thinking about it, I still feel that it is still inappropriate: the position of 'eldest lady', you can't give me Yi'er." ”
"Why?" said Su Yi in surprise.
"Because, because, Yi'er, you are so capable, I was originally just a maidservant, and I am not worthy of you. Su Shi'er pursed her red lips, lowered her head and said, "In the future, if you are really a high school champion, Yi'er, you must marry a well-connected eldest lady as a wife, and then marry more than a dozen or twenty concubines from famous families, and finally it will be my turn." ”
The corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched, and she didn't dare to imagine that the house was full of women, so she hurriedly said: "Sister Shi'er, what are you talking about? Status doesn't matter, I, Su Yi, only marry you." ”
