Chapter 14
"Brother, I'm sorry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoRu'er only has so much money......"
Holding the two pieces of silver, Su Ru lowered her head guiltily and apologized. But Su Lin saw that his sister Su Ru's palm holding the silver was not only rough, but also had several needle scars, but he couldn't laugh anymore, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and hugged his sister Su Ru in his arms.
"Don't be sorry! Ru'er, you didn't feel sorry for me. It's that I, Surin, am sorry for you, as your brother, not only did I fulfill my responsibility to take care of you, but I also let you be a little girl, shouldering so much. β
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad. Su Lin has never been a weak person, but now that he sees the scars on his sister Su Ru's rough palm, who is only thirteen years old, how can he not be moved?
"Brother, brother doesn't cry! Daddy said that my brother is a scholar and a man, and he can't cry. Ru'er is not hard, as long as her brother can get ahead, he will become the champion in the future.
Ru'er is the sister of the champion, what a beautiful scenery! It's worth nothing. β
Su Ru smiled like a flower, and gently reached out to help Su Lin wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
Su Lin immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Yes! This champion, I, Su Lin, are going to decide. β
"Uh-huh...... Brother, then in the future, I will be the sister of the champion, and Sister Zijin will be the lady of the champion! Ru'er heard that the lady of the champion will be named the lady of the command. β
Su Ru replied with a smile, she had never been so warm and happy as she is now, and her brother Su Lin, who had always been cold to her, began to care for and love herself.
"Zijin? By the way, Ru'er, why didn't you see Zijin today? Didn't she say it? Will she come to see me to take the county exam?"
Su Lin always felt as if something was missing, it turned out that he was not used to the absence of Dong Zijin's company. This is the fiancΓ©e of a childhood sweetheart with a temperamental personality of some female men.
"I didn't ...... Sister Zijin, she ......"
was asked by Su Lin, Su Ru panicked, knowing that she had accidentally slipped her mouth, so she could only explain honestly.
"Brother, Sister Zijin was beaten by his father for stealing the medicinal materials from the family's medicinal herb shop, and now she ...... Now that she is grounded, Master Dong does not allow her to go out. β
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Zijin stole the Refreshing Herb and the Awakening Wood for the sake of my ......"
"Brother, it's Sister Zijin who won't let me tell you. She...... She wants you to prepare well for the county exam, and you must be admitted to the children's examination. β
When Su Lin heard this, he was anxious, and pulled Su Ru and ran to the Dong Mansion.
When I arrived at the Dong Mansion, although it was only a merchant's house, there was no literary title and fame, but the courtyard was no smaller than that of the Su Mansion.
Su Lin ran to the gate and shouted to the janitor of the Dong Mansion: "Go and tell Master Dong that Su Lin of the Su Mansion will meet you." β
"I'm sorry. Master Su, our master has ordered. If Childe visits, he will not be seen. β
The Dong Mansion Ding, although he called Su Lin Su Gongzi, the disdain on his face and the arrogant look on his face were obviously an expression of contempt for Su Lin.
It is no wonder that Su Lin, the son of a talent who has not yet enlightened his wisdom at the age of fifteen, has become so famous that everyone in Fengle County knows it. What's more, it is the family of the Dong Mansion who has a marriage contract with Su Lin?
"Master Dong doesn't see me, I still want to see him. β
Su Lin pulled Su Ru and was about to break in, but the family Ding was also angry, holding a wooden stick in his hand, stopped in front of Su Lin, and shouted:
"Surin, you useless wretch. My young lady stole the medicinal herbs in the shop for you, and the old man was furious and grounded the young lady. Do you still have the face to come to our Dong Mansion? Hurry up! Hurry up! Otherwise, Hugh blames me for being unkind?"
"Hmph, you are a dog minion, and you dare to be rude to the scholars?"
Seeing this, Su Lin's eyebrows' wisdom and holy power worked, and he said three times in his mouth, "Get out! Get out!
Holy power words, with the power of holy power, words and laws, that family Ding incredulously watched three golden rays of light burst out from Su Lin's mouth, each of which had a hundred catties of power, hitting his body, like a heavy punch, and suddenly the whole person flew out.
"Although it is only the simplest use of holy power, it ...... I actually attacked with my holy power without knowing how to do it?"
Su Lin was also very surprised that he had inadvertently mastered the method of using a trace of holy power.
"Who dares to make trouble in my Dong Mansion?"
The family fell to the ground and made a commotion, which alarmed Dong Guihua in the house, and he rushed out with a few family members.
Seeing that it was Su Lin who was making trouble at the door, he was even more angry and said: "Su Lin, you and I have always been friends with Su Dong's family, why did you come to the door of my Dong Mansion to make trouble?"
"Dong Shibo is good!"
Seeing that Dong Guihua came out, Su Lin said to Dong Guihua instead, "After the little nephew finished the county exam, he wanted to come to meet Dong Shibo, and by the way, he discussed with Dong Shibo about the marriage contract between the little nephew and Zijin." Unexpectedly, this evil slave dared to make a hindrance from it, saying that Dong Shibo refused to see his little nephew and other bastards.
Dong Shibo also said, our Su and Dong families have always been good friends, how can Dong Shibo not see his little nephew?
The little nephew taught Shi Bo a lesson about this evil slave, Shi Bo doesn't have to thank me, sooner or later it will be a family, this is the little nephew's business. β
Su Lin was not in a hurry, pointed to the groaning family on the ground, and counted his crimes with a smile.
His words not only made it impossible for the family on the ground to sue, but also made Dong Guihua unable to refute it, so he could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly.
"Surin, since you're here. I might as well tell you that although I agreed with your father Su Jingtian to marry back then, I ...... Your father also said that if you don't become a talent in the future, the Dong family doesn't have to fulfill this marriage contract. β
Dong Guihua's implication is that he dislikes Su Lin and is not a talent now, and his intention to regret his marriage could not be more obvious.
However, Su Lin pretended to be confused, and said without humility: "Please rest assured that Dong Shibo, Su Lin has become a talent, and he can marry Zijin to me with confidence." β
"You ......"
Dong Guihua was choked by Su Lin's words, and could only point at him and say completely clearly, "Su Lin...... You're going to have to argue with me here.
I, Dong Guihua, will explain to you today! Zijin will not marry you, and the eighteen-year-old Xiucai of the Liu family in this county has come to propose marriage, and I have already agreed.
From now on, my family has nothing to do with your Su family, and I will not let her meet you again. β
"Dong Shibo! As a businessman, how can you not be trustworthy in your words? If your repentance of marriage spreads, who will dare to do business with you in the future?"
Su Lin took a step forward as he spoke, and the light of thought in his wisdom and the momentum of holy power forced Dong Guihua to take a step back, pointing at him and saying:
"Su Lin, I don't believe what I say. It's that you haven't opened your mind at the age of fifteen, so what if you are enlightened now? Ordinary children can be enlightened at the latest at the age of 10 or so, but now that you have just opened your mind, how can you be considered a talent?"
"Oh, then Dong Shibo is talking about it, in your eyes, what does it mean to be a talent?" Su Lin said with a smile.
At this time, in front of the Dong Mansion, because of the commotion, the villagers in a circle were talking about it, all waiting to see the excitement!
"Hmph! To become a talent, you must at least be able to obtain a literary position, and you can't be low, if you want to marry our family's son, you must at least be a talented man under the age of twenty.
Moreover, the furniture must also be rich, not much, my family's dowry, at least a thousand taels of silver. β
Dong Guihua expected that Su Lin had just opened his mind, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to get a show talent within five years, and even if Su Lin could be admitted to the show talent, he would definitely not be able to take out thousands of taels of silver as a dowry.
So Dong Guihua deliberately said this, just to make things difficult for Su Lin.
"Okay, Dong Shibo, I'll promise you. If I can't get a Xiucai degree before I turn 20.
You will no longer force the marriage, but until then, the marriage contract is still valid, and you have no right to give the marriage to others. Su Lin said with a smile.
But as soon as Dong Guihua heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately retorted: "This is not good, Su Lin, you can afford your time, but our family's good cardamom years cannot be delayed."
How can you wait until you are twenty years old? Either you will immediately take out a thousand taels of silver and give the dowry first, or you will give up the marriage!"
"It's only a thousand taels of silver. What's so difficult about this, Dong Shibo, as long as you give me 1,000 taels of silver now, three days later, I will give you 100,000 taels of silver as a dowry, how about it?"
Su Lin said calmly and confidently.
"Su Lin, I want you to give a dowry, but you want me to give you a thousand taels, what is the reason?
If you run away with my money after three days, who will I talk to?" Dong Guihua said with an inexplicable look.
"Are you afraid that I will escape? Dong Shibo, I can press this word 'diligence' on you, and it is worth at least 1,000 taels of silver on the black market. β
The light flashed in Su Lin's wisdom, and a golden word 'diligence' flew out.
"No! No! Su Lin, you have made a bet with Zhao Dagongzi, and the bet is the word 'diligence'. In three days you will definitely lose, how can I be deceived by you?
When the time comes, Zhao Dagongzi will come to the door to ask for the word 'diligence', haven't I fallen into your trap and put in a thousand taels of silver for nothing?
However, since you are so confident, three days later, if you bring a dowry of 1,000 taels of silver, the marriage contract between Zijin and you will be decided, otherwise how about giving up?" Dong Guihua was not stupid, and quickly shook his head and refused.
"Dong Shibo, this is an opportunity for you to make a lot of money in vain, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes?
By the way, I'll tell you another story! It is said that a monkey came to the palace of Hades after his death and asked Hades to let him be reincarnated as a human in the next life.
Hades agreed, but said that if you want to be a human, you must pluck out the hair from the monkey's body one by one. The monkey nodded happily and said yes.
However, when the ghost sent to pluck the monkey's hair, the monkey couldn't help but scream in pain, and the king of Hades smiled and said, Look at you, you can't even pluck a single hair, how can you be a human being?"
As soon as Su Lin finished saying this, the villagers who were watching the excitement immediately burst into laughter, and Dong Guihua also blushed.
knew that Su Lin was sarcastic about how he behaved, but he was speechless and helpless.
Su Lin also smiled, then turned around and pulled his sister Su Ru, and walked slowly towards the gambling game of the Zhao family money village amid the laughter of the crowd.
Now, his goal is to earn silver, earn silver ruthlessly, and earn silver from the Zhao family's money village ruthlessly.
