The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 261 Return to Weizhou Farmhouse

How did the Su family fall into the eyes of Mrs. Zhong Ning Lan?

As her precious daughter got older and older, seeing that all the young ladies her age were already engaged, some were preparing to get married, and some were getting married, Zhong Ning was anxious to find a wife for her daughter who had burned her brain when she was a child. A good family. She has been looking for a suitable family in the past few years, but she has never found a good family. Either she doesn't like it, or they are interested in the status of her mother's family or her husband's family. How can she find such a family? Dare to marry your daughter off.

Years ago, due to the marriage of the eighth sister, the Prince of Ning was rejected by the youngest son of Prince Jin despite his superior status. However, it was not shameful to be rejected by the prince. What surprised the Duke of Ning was that the young lady chosen by Prince Zhao was The low status is surprising.

The grandmother was not convinced and asked people to inquire about it. It turned out that the young lady Zhao Xiaojun Wang wanted to marry was the daughter of his teacher. Not only that, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Zhao Xiaojun Wang said to Princess Jin, ‘I will not marry anyone who is not your wife. ’

"Dr. Su?"

Zhong Ning remembered what happened during the Lantern Festival a few years ago. Because they were both ministers of the Sixth Ministry, Zhong Ning had a relationship with Mrs. Fan. Once, she went to the Fan family lamphouse to chat with Mrs. Fan and met Su Yanli holding her daughter.

The man was elegant and handsome, seemingly out of touch with the world, but he held his daughter in one hand and his son in the other, sitting in the Fan family's lamp shed, whispering and smiling, looking into his children's eyes, full of love.

At that time, she was upset, how could there be such a good man? Even if she lived a poor life with him, her wife would be happy!

Of course, she was not a young lady who was inexperienced in the world, and she just sighed with emotion at that time. But when her grandmother talked about the Su family, the scene from many years ago suddenly flashed in her mind. Isn't it the husband's family she was looking for for her daughter? Such a family?

So she quickly found out that Su's eldest son, Su Anzhi, was sixteen years old and was studying in the Imperial College. He was diligent and motivated, and was one year older than her daughter. He was a perfect match. Unfortunately, the Su family was currently working as a county magistrate and was away from the capital, which made her distressed. .

But soon an opportunity came. The man Princess Yuehua married was Dr. Su's younger brother. For the princess's wedding, the Su family would definitely come to the capital, so she kept dropping hints from people in front of her, but Mrs. Su didn't know if she was really stupid or not. Pretending to be stupid, he just didn't answer any questions, not even what his grandmother said.

Her grandmother advised her not to think about it, but she couldn't bear to do it. The population was simple, and with the help of the Prince of Jin's Palace and the Minister of Staff, the Su family was prospering, and it was simply the best destination for her daughter.

How should she let her daughter marry into the Su family?

Zhao Lan sent the mother and son of the Su family home. The Su family would return to Weizhou County tomorrow. He refused to go back no matter what, so he stayed at the Su family. "Tomorrow morning, I can take you out of the city."

Su Yanli had returned from Mr. Fan's house. Hearing his words, he nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, teacher." Zhao Lan looked happy and raised the corners of his mouth.

Su Ruojin pouted and followed her father to the study without looking.

"Ah Jin..." Why don't you go back to the hospital to sleep?

"I have something to do with dad."

Zhao Lan's eyebrows moved and he immediately guessed what was going on, and he followed him to the study.

Cheng Yingzhen helped Su Xiaomei and prepared to take her to wash up and go to bed.

Su Ruojin stopped her mother, "Mom, you come too."

"What's the matter?"

Seeing the seriousness on his eldest daughter's face, Su Yanli asked her grandma to take her younger daughter to bed first, and they entered the study.

As soon as she sat down, Cheng Yingzhen asked nervously, "Ajin, is it because my mother didn't behave well in the Duke's Mansion?"

"No, mother, don't think so."

"What is that? I haven't seen you look serious in years."

Sigh before saying anything.

Su Ruojin sighed like a little old lady.

"What's wrong with you kid?" Cheng Yingzhen was frightened by her daughter's sigh.

"Mom, haven't you heard? The eldest daughter-in-law of Duke Ning wants to marry her daughter to your eldest son."

Cheng Yingzhen smiled and said, "Of course I heard it, but ever since you told me that you wanted Da Lang to marry the one you like, I just pretended not to understand." After saying that, he looked at the father and daughter proudly. It looks like your mother is pretty good.

Su Ruojin hurriedly stood next to her mother and put her arms around her neck, "My mother is so kind. I want to thank you on behalf of my brother."

There is an exam to be held at the Imperial College. The Su family is going to Wei County tomorrow morning. Su Dalang did not come back tonight.

Su Yanli asked Zhao Lan: "The husband of the eldest daughter of Duke Ning Guo must be the Minister of Rites, Zhong Shilang."

He nodded, "The eldest daughter of Mr. Zhong was ill when she was a child and her brain was burned. Not many people know about it."

With a family of children, Su Yanli thought it was normal for others to be interested in marrying him. But when he heard about this situation, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and turned to look at his daughter, "Has Ajin checked the truth?"

Su Ruojin nodded, "The little lady is very well-behaved, if not...it would be great."

"Why did Mrs. Zhong think of our family?" Su Yanli shook his head, "I'm just a seventh-grade official."

Whether it was Ning Guo Gongfu or Zhong Shilang, they were all the real rich and powerful people in the capital. He thought that he was so transparent and waved his hand, "Azhi is my eldest son, Su. It's impossible."

Zhao Lan said to the worried little lady, "Ajin, don't worry, I'm here."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Jin." At this time, Su Ruojin stopped saying any pretentious words. The only person who could compete with Duke Ning's government was the King of Jin.

Early on the next morning, the Su family set off back to Wei County. Zhao Lan saw them off. Before leaving the house, Su Yanzu, the groom's husband, came and brought many gifts.

He bent down and bowed, "Thank you to my brother, sister-in-law, and Ajin for helping me with my marriage. Shaobai will bear it in mind."

"We are all one family, we are talking about heretics." Su Yanli helped his younger brother up, "I have many children, so I will have less trouble and less trouble in the future. Just don't bother them then."

"That's natural." Su Yanzu glanced at his eldest niece who looked tall and graceful, then at his little niece who was crooked in front of his sister-in-law, and then at the upright young man. How could he not envy his elder brother and his daughter who have a good family relationship? Lecai changed his original intention.

He pulled his eldest niece aside and said, "There are still a few boxes of books in the car. Ah Jin will help me give them to Ayu. He is alone over there. Please ask Ah Jin to take care of them."

Su Ruojin nodded, "Uncle, I want to live a happy life, otherwise..."

Su Yanzu was told by his eldest niece that he bowed his head and remained silent.

Forget it...forget it...why are you talking about this?

Su Ruojin turned around and jumped on the carriage, waved to Zhao Lan and Su Yanzu, "Go to Weizhou County to play when you have time!"

Standing on the high city wall, Su Yanzu looked at the carriages going further and further away, seeing them getting smaller and smaller until they turned into small black dots and disappeared from his sight.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is gentle, the wind is crisp, and the flowers are like fire.

But spring goes and spring comes back, and it will never come back again.

Back in Weizhou County, Su Ruojin gave all the books wholesaled in the capital to Shangguanyu, "There are enlightenment, elementary, and intermediate books. If they are not enough, don't bother copying them. Tell me, anyway, my vegetable merchant The team travels to Beijing every three days, which is very convenient. ”

Shangguanyu thanks the young lady.

Su Ruojin saw that his expression was much better and said, "The kitchen lady brought by Mother Dong is pretty good at it, right?"

"Thank you, Second Lady, for your trouble. That's very good."

Seeing that his life was as usual, Su Ruojin felt relieved, "I'm going to Xishan to plant vegetables. If you have time to go over and see the land I'm growing, it'll be a holiday for yourself."

Shangguanyu was really curious and said with a smile, "When all the masters here are gone, I will take turns taking a break with them. When I have free time, I will go bother the second lady."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Shangguan."

After returning home and resting for two days, Su Ruojin devoted herself to growing vegetables.

After several spring rains, May arrived unknowingly.

Su Ruojin's vegetable patch is so green and lush. Looking from a distance, it is green and the wind blows, like a small sea. It is very spectacular.

For more than a month, Su Ruojin spent a lot of money and sweat on this lush green area.

In order to make the vegetable field fertile for sustainable growth, she not only composted around the vegetable field, but also bought a large area of ​​​​the western hillside to raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep and other livestock. The manure was used as fertilizer and the meat was used for the farmhouse, killing two birds with one stone. , the main theme is to waste nothing.

Of course, it is said that it is a farmhouse, firstly, it is convenient for her own appetite, secondly, there is a place to eat and live when Zhao Lan comes over, and thirdly, the most important thing is, in order to welcome the life that is about to get better, this is Su Ruojin's intuition, but she believes in herself intuition.

Everything in Weizhou County does not require intuition. The seeds transferred by Zhao Lan have already produced results. Large areas of wheat fields are swaying with green waves in the breeze. The wheat ears are growing fiercely in the sunshine, slowly maturing and plump. The grains of wheat sank and bent, and the people sat waiting to be harvested.

The flowers inside and outside the farmhouse’s fence have also been planted, and everything is finally tidy up.

Su Ruojin took off her straw hat and fanned herself while admiring the fruits of her labor. She found a lot of wild roses in the mountains, and asked the caravan coming to Beijing to bring her roses. She also planted impatiens, orchids, and grass beads. .

Grass beads are also called Chuangu, Bodhi beads, etc. in some places. There are natural holes in the middle, which can be strung together to make hand string beads and door curtains. Su Ruojin saw someone planting them in front of the house in Shangouzi, so she transplanted some and prepared to string them when they were mature. Door curtains are both practical and interesting.

Seeing the sun setting in the west and the mountain wind rising, it was no longer so hot.

Su Ruojin sat on the steps at the door, taking a breath while watching the sunset. What a pleasant pastoral life. Isn't this the life she had always dreamed of in her previous life?

It’s great to finally have it happen here!

Suddenly, something fell into my arms.

She looked up and saw that it was the account book that Hua Ping had thrown away. "Huaizhen asked me to give it to you. He said it was to remind you that the balance of payments has been balanced for more than a month and the balance in the account is zero."

Su Ruojin:…

Did the slap in the face come so quickly?

She picked up the account book, stood up, stood on the highest step, and pointed to the more than 100 acres of peppers down the **** that had begun to bear fruit, "My gold is in the fields."

"Hmph!" Hua Ping laughed angrily at her, "I'm just waiting for your gold to pay me my wages."

Huaping was the general manager of all the construction around the vegetable fields. He ran in and out looking for seeds and workers, but nothing happened to him.

"Haha..." Su Ruojin raised her head and laughed, "Uncle, don't worry, I will keep it and give you a big red envelope when you get married."
