005 Mr. Mu
Su Qingluan didn't expect that her casual words would make Su Guangfu react so much, and she was stunned for a while.
It was Yang who came back to his senses first, pulled Su Guangfu's short brown cuffs and said, "Eh, you are so fierce, the big girl just said it casually......"
Su Guangfu has always been inferior to the Yang family with an amiable smile, but he is also mild-mannered, but this time he is unusually very stern: "Is this something that can be said casually?!" She is not a young lady now, we are farmers, if she is so open-mouthed, we can't protect her! ”
Although his tone was stern, he still kept his voice very low, and glanced out from time to time, for fear that someone would listen.
Yang Shi also lowered his voice and said to Su Qingluan: "Big girl, don't say this outside, it's a matter of losing your head from the board!" ”
Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan are still young, so they naturally can't understand the meaning of their father's words. But Su Qingluan's soul is an adult with normal thinking ability, and he immediately understood what they meant.
Su Qingluan had learned before that the salt she passed through this "Sheng Dynasty" was strictly controlled by the government from mining to sale, so it was absolutely forbidden to refine coarse salt privately and resell it as she said just now.
What's more, if she says the method of preparing refined salt, it will inevitably cause everyone to buy cheap coarse salt, and high-priced refined salt is unsalable.
Moved by the interests of salt merchants, she is just an ordinary person, where is there still good fruit to eat?
Thinking about the trick, Su Qingluan suddenly came back to his senses, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, which was blown by the evening breeze, and it was cold in an instant.
Su Qingluan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and whispered to Su Guangfu and Yang: "What my father and mother taught me is that my daughter has lost her words. ”
Seeing that Su Qingluan knew that he was wrong, Su Guangfu raised his hand and touched the top of her hair and said, "Daddy just hopes that you can be safe." ”
Yang saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, and hurriedly said: "Eh, boy father, you said that our eldest girl seems to have a lot of talent for cooking, and she is better than me when she mixes any dish!" Eat more! ”
Su Guangfu nodded, took another chopstick dish, and said in a low voice: "As long as we don't take out this salt and sell it, it's okay to use it in private." He told the other two children not to talk too much outside.
There are no older elders in the Su family, and Su Guangfu and his wife have a cool personality, so there is no red tape such as "eating without sleeping" at the table.
The family talked and laughed, and after a while, the atmosphere came alive again. Yang took a sip of soup and said, "The aunt of the Zhou family in the east of Jin'er Village told me that her cousin is very sure about this year's autumn exam. ”
Su Guangfu nodded: "That kid reads well." ”
Yang glanced at the eldest daughter's beautiful and bright side face, and sighed: "It's a pity that the eldest girl only recognized it, otherwise it would be a good marriage to find the aunt of the Zhou family to make peace." ”
Su Qingluan almost squirted out a mouthful of bean rice in his mouth when he heard this: Is there a mistake? Her current biological age is only thirteen years old, and she is in a hurry to say goodbye?!
Seeing the eldest daughter's dumbfounded appearance, Yang smiled and said, "This child, is he shy?" ”
Where is she shy, is she frightened?! Su Qingluan was speechless.
"Niang......" She really didn't know how to tell an ancient person that thirteen years old was really not the right age to enter into marriage.
However, in this era, there are many girls who are married at thirteen or fourteen, and who marry at fifteen or sixteen and have children. If you can't get married at the age of twenty, you will be laughed at as an "old girl" by the neighbors.
Yang gently patted the back of Su Qingluan's hand: "It's okay, when you have the opportunity, your mother will definitely play for you." ”
"Auntie, I'm not in a hurry." Thank you, don't be ridiculous.
"How can you do it if you're not in a hurry?" Yang obviously didn't think so, "You will be fourteen years old in the next year, although your father and mother want to keep you for a few more years, it's always good to make a decision early - my daughter can't marry a rough villager, she has to marry a learned father-in-law, and she will enjoy happiness in the future." ”
Yang's thought is very simple, her daughter looks like a flower, and she has been pampered for more than ten years, she is reluctant to let her daughter suffer hardship.
Compared with Yang's eagerness, Su Guangfu was much calmer: "There is nothing to do with the eight characters." In case that kid wins the test, will people take a fancy to our big girl? ”
The Yang family was originally short-sighted, and was a little unhappy when Su Guangfu said it, and just wanted to reply, Xue Yan, who was sitting on the side, asked ignorantly: "Mother, is that person more knowledgeable than Mr. Mu?" ”
"Cut, how is it possible!" Su Xuanhe's tone was quite disdainful, "Mr. Mu is a more knowledgeable person than Master Zhou!" ”
Su Qingluan, the son of Zhou, knew that he was a teacher who lived in the village. I heard that Master Zhou was originally a young man, but he was promoted at a young age and became an official.
But a few years ago, I didn't know why I was dismissed, and I returned to this small Huaxi Village as a teacher, relying on not very rich shackles to survive.
The Yang family had said to Su Guangfu before that if he had enough to tie up in the next year, he would send Su Xuanhe to Zhou Fuzi to study.
Su Qingluan pinched his brother's face amusefully when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You can't even write your own name, but you know if others are knowledgeable?" ”
Su Xuanhe desperately dodged to the side, trying to escape from the demonic claws from Sister A: "Everyone in the village says so, even Master Zhou says so!" If you don't believe it, ask your father! ”
"There is such a thing, I heard that Master Zhou has to compete with Mr. Mu." Yang said with a smile, "Back then, this incident was one of the most lively in this area, and I heard that even the county magistrate was shocked." ”
Su Guangfu also nodded in affirmation: "We are rough people, we don't understand what is compared, but we have been comparing for many days, and we are in the largest restaurant in the town, 'Hongfu Building'." ”
"In those days, don't say that the 'Hongfu Building' was full of guests, and the whole town was lively, and Zhou Fuzi was the first master in ten miles and eight townships! But Mr. Mu was so young at the time that he won him! ”
Yang talked about the lively scene when the crowd was crowding and onlookers as if he were talking, and then sighed, "It's a pity that Mr. Mu's body is ...... Otherwise, people who ask so much about the university must have a rich future! ”
After speaking, he sighed heavily, with infinite regret.
Because of this family routine, Su Qingluan inevitably had a trace of curiosity about "Mr. Mu" - a knowledgeable person admired by the whole family, even surpassing Master Zhou, who was once promoted as an official, but he was frail and sick.
In an instant, the image of a skeletary, desolate scribe with an open and disjointed body and gray sideburns came to her mind.
It's just that she didn't expect that when she actually saw this person, he was completely different from the image she imagined.
