Chapter 132 Anxiety
For several days, Shu Tong took Shi Er to Dongshan, either to help rent a place or to send the things that the Su family used to use to Wenshan Street. Shi Miao didn't leave Su Ji until everything was ready. Wenshan Street sells breakfast.
In the blink of an eye, March 3rd came again, and the Su family traveled by mule cart as usual, but instead of going for a spring outing, they went to the countryside to welcome the Su family.
The letter from the Su family has been sent to the capital a long time ago. Su Yanli suppressed it and did not tell his wife and children. It was not until the old steward of the Su family came to visit that Su Ruojin knew that the grandparents from Pingjiang Mansion had come to the capital.
“Dad, where is your mother?”
"I have never seen my biological mother." Su Yanli's biological mother, like Ding, was also a maid. In order to consolidate her status, her aunt had the maid to give birth to a son. At that time, there were three children, and only Su Yanli's biological mother gave birth to a son.
Su Yanli fell ill when he was less than one year old. As he showed his talent in reading, the other two aunts who gave birth to girls quietly told him that his biological mother had been abused by her aunt and died.
No one misses his mother, but even if Su Yanli listened to the whispers of his two aunts, he did not deliberately look for evidence. It was not because he was cold-blooded, but because of the identity difference between his aunt and his roommate. Even if he had iron-clad evidence, Even if you go to the yamen, you won't necessarily get a fair trial for your biological mother's death.
But regardless of whether the words of the two aunts were true or false, Su Yanli was still affected. That year, he dropped everything, packed his bags, and traveled around the Yin Dynasty under the pretext of studying abroad. While missing his biological mother, he was looking for a concubine. The way out in life is to have a legitimate son.
Perhaps God took pity on him and never enjoyed the love of his biological mother, allowing him to pass the scientific examination smoothly and eventually become a Jinshi in the second rank. In his most prosperous years, he met A Zhen, established a family with her and had children.
No matter what others think, for him, the eighth-grade doctorate of the Imperial College is just right for him. This official position can support his family without having to work hard to maintain his original intention of being a scholar.
But when he thought of his father and aunt who were coming to the capital, Su Yanli always felt that his peaceful life was going to be broken, and he fell into unreasonable anxiety.
Su Ruojin was either playing wildly in the alley, or going to the shop to check and verify the accounts. Even if he had some free time, he would enjoy delicious food. He never noticed his father's recent changes in mood. It wasn't until the family took a mule cart to pick up her grandfather and grandmother in the suburbs that she felt something strange. The chief steward of the Su family who came last night said that although the Su family had not arrived in the capital, they sent special people to the capital last year to buy a house. , when Su Yanli was still living in a rented house, the Su family had already bought a compound with three entrances and three exits in the capital.
“Is dad not used to living with them, or is he afraid that they won’t let us move there?”
"neither."
Su Ruojin's head turned and she asked, "Are you afraid that your grandfather, as an elder, will pressure you to send your uncle to the Imperial College?"
Su Yanli remained silent, acquiescing to his daughter's guess.
“Is the uncle now a civil servant?”
Su Yanli didn't have to worry about being a scholar. This was because his younger brother had not been admitted to the imperial examination for nine years since he was admitted as a scholar at the age of eleven. The purpose of coming to Beijing this time was to enter the Imperial Academy.
Ever since Su Ruojin traveled to the Dayin Dynasty, except for his father's promotion assessment, he had seen the Su family mentioned in the life story written by his father in the study. Usually he never talked about the Su family in Pingjiang Prefecture. In society, there are few young couples like Su Yanli who close their doors and live their own lives.
Although the Imperial College was the highest institution of higher learning in the Dayin Dynasty, in fact, this institution was not designed to ensure that all those who came in would be admitted to the imperial examinations. It trained talents for the royal family, nobles, and official families, and could be recommended by the state government every year. There were not many who came up, and even those recommended by the state governments were mostly the children of officials from the state governments, and there were almost no students from poor families.
