Chapter 269: Those people in the academy didn't know what to think of him
Su Yan bent down slightly and touched his head, "I'm worried that I will use a lot of money, so I can read and write, and I will help my aunt settle accounts in the future." ”
"I can teach my younger brother to write in the future."
"In the future, Uncle Qin and I will have a little more peace of mind."
Sun Erdan didn't say anything, and obediently promised: "I will teach my younger brother to read in the future." ”
Su Yan nodded, "Sister Cui, you go back first with Tuan Tuan and Erdan, and I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and cook at home." ”
Sister Cui thought that it would be cold, "Madam, what do you say to buy, I'll buy it." ”
"Go back, I'll take your time." Su Yan wanted to walk around a little more to see if there was a way to make money.
Now that the family is in the county, the expenses are naturally larger, and they must find some business to do.
The coal shop is a bit far away, and the child can't do without people now, and she can't go there to sell things, so she can only set up a stall in front of her house like everyone else.
The market here is bigger than the town, and everything is sold, Su Yan saw that there was water bracken for sale, so she bought two catties, and then bought a duck, which she would fry and eat.
When I came back, I saw a lot of stalls selling snacks and a lot of people eating, probably because this side was not close to the most prosperous place in the county.
It's not early at this time, she was busy cooking, and it was close to noon before she packed the food, "Sister Cui, I'll send it first, Erdan, you help Auntie look at the steamed eggs in the kitchen, don't let the water boil dry." ”
After speaking, she carried the food box and bamboo tube to Mingyue Academy, and waited for less than half an hour for the scattered scholars to come out in white scholar clothes.
After a while, Qin An, who was wearing a gray jacket, strode out, watched Su Yan waiting, and hurriedly ran over, "How long have you been waiting, it's cold." With that, he reached out to the back of her hand.
"No, just a moment, can you take it in and eat it?" Su Yan looked around, there was nowhere to eat everywhere.
Qin An nodded, "There is a pavilion inside that you can eat." ”
"Then I'll wait for you to finish eating and take this back to wash." Su Yan said with a smile.
There are many sons of big families in Mingyue Academy, and the little maids can go in to deliver food, and Su Yan can naturally go in too.
The academy was much bigger than Su Yan imagined, and seeing that everyone else was wearing the same scholar's uniform, she asked in a low voice, "Didn't the academy give you clothes?" Or do you want to buy it yourself? ”
"You don't have to buy it, you can buy it if you want to."
Qin An took her to the nearby stone table, there were seven or eight stone tables here, and there were already people eating again.
Su Yan sat next to her, helped open the bamboo tube and said, "The rice soup I packed, be warmer." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the young woman at the next table looked over and said with some surprise: "You still use bamboo tubes to eat?" It's dirty. ”
Suddenly, the other tables looked over, although Su Yan didn't think it was dirty at home, but the dishes and chopsticks on their table were very good, and the pot for drinking water was a porcelain bottle.
When she looked at her house, she had brought it all from the town.
"I haven't bought it yet, so I came to town, and I'll change it tomorrow."
It doesn't matter if she is indecent or not, but she can't let Qin An be indecent, and when the time comes, a group of people will isolate him.
The young woman looked at the two of them a few times, "It looks like it's from the village, it's expensive, I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”
Su Yan's face did not change, and she smiled and said, "Want dozens of taels of silver?" ”
The middle-aged woman choked suddenly, and then saw another couple coming, and hurriedly flattered: "Come over and eat together, I bought the drunken chicken from Chunlou." ”
Qin An glanced at his daughter-in-law and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I don't eat it for them." ”
"Okay."
Su Yan nodded and said, when he finishes eating, he will go home, and after eating, he will come out to buy a kettle.
Porcelain shop
Su Yan's eyes fell on the porcelain pot, and she asked Xiao Er, "How is this sold?" ”
"What do you want? The innermost two taels of silver, the middle one tael, and the eight hundred wen on the very edge, do not bargain. Xiao Er glanced at her clothes and added one last sentence.
Su Yan didn't pay attention to his attitude, the dog saw people everywhere, she couldn't quarrel with the dog, "Is there any difference?" ”
Xiao Er explained: "The kind inside is well insulated, and the water is warm all morning. ”
"The scholars of the academy all use that."
"Then I want one of these."
Su Yan is not a swollen face and a fat person, she can do anything at home, but now her father-in-law is different, he is studying in the academy.
Although he didn't care about it, it was hard to hear what others said.
Just this little money, which can make him get along with others outside, she is still willing to spend it.
After buying the porcelain pot, she went to the nearby cloth village, found several cloth houses and asked if they didn't sell scholar clothes, saying that they wanted to give the academy money, and the academy asked the shop to make clothes.
Qin An's temperament must have been too expensive to buy the clothes, she went to the private school again, and asked the little girl at the door, "How to buy the scholar's clothes here, my father-in-law forgot to bring the silver money yesterday, I will pay it today." ”
"Go to the bookkeeper, give you the money, give your clothes, go in and go in and go left." The little girl had never seen such a good-looking woman, so she took a look at it for a while.
Su Yan naturally saw it, but she didn't say anything, she walked in for a while and arrived at the account room, where the account clerk would sit and settle the accounts, "I came to buy a scholar's clothes, how much money do I have to pay?" ”
The bookkeeper looked up at her, "I want a few sets, a set of three taels of silver." ”
Hearing this, Su Yan smacked her tongue in her heart, a set is only three taels of silver, which is really a bit expensive, but what can be done, it is not that you have to suffer a loss.
"I want two."
Coming out of the academy, Su Yan went to the money village and took out fifty taels to buy vegetables these days.
When she got home and saw that Tuan Tuan had woken up, she hugged and played with him for a while, and when he fell asleep, she began to worry about what business to do again.
It sells pimple soup here, and I don't think many people will come to eat it.
……
When Qin An came back, she was making fish cakes, full of the fragrance of the yard, and she said happily: "Xianggong, you're back, come and taste the fish cakes." ”
Su Yan took a piece of fish cake and handed it to him, Qin An opened his mouth and took a bite, "It's delicious." ”
"I want to sell this tomorrow, I have a fish pond at home, and I don't have to buy fish." Su Yan asked for his opinion.
Qin An didn't want her to be too tired, "I won't sell it for the time being, and when I take a break, I'll go darts, and I can use it at home for half a year." ”
"I'm setting up a stall in front of my house, and I have nothing to do when I'm idle at home, so I don't know where to go today."
Su Yan then said, "You put things in the house first, and I'll cook right away." ”
Inside the house
Qin An opened the wardrobe and saw two sets of brand-new scholar clothes inside, he pursed his lips, and his eyes were a little complicated.
After changing into a coarse cloth jacket, he went to the kitchen, his eyes fell on the busy figure of the woman, a trace of self-reproach flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, don't buy me those things in the future, I don't have to say anything to anyone when I study." ”
Su Yan knew that he had seen it, so she turned her head and pretended to be relaxed: "It's not expensive, you don't wear it alone, what do others think of you." ”
"There is still money at home, what are you saving all this for?"
She paused, then added, "Did someone say you today?" ”
Speaking of which, she regretted that she didn't follow him to pay the fee, otherwise she wouldn't have asked him not to buy a scholar's clothes.
The scholars in the academy didn't know what to think of him.
