NOVEL WEB Chapter 31: Think of ways to
Chapter 31 Find a way
The legitimate sons of Xuanbo Mansion gave birth to legitimate sons again, and they were affected generation after generation. How could there be so many positions in the court for these noble families? It is already good for a legitimate son of a common son to get a good job and a salary. I would like to think about six more Pinyuanwailang, I really feel that the imperial court is run by his family, right?
Su Ruojin didn't know. If he knew, he would definitely come in with a knife.
Su Yanli is a doctor of the Five Classics. In the Imperial College, he not only taught academics, but also various etiquettes for the country and the family.
The mistress was trying hard, and at this moment, Su Yanli really couldn't help but gritted her teeth and endured it. She walked across the screen and worked with her wife to stop Aunt Ding's bleeding.
Seeing the blood, Wan's suffocating feeling in her heart seemed to have been relieved. No matter how affectionate she was, it was of no use, instead of just letting her round and flatten her, and letting Su Yanli and his wife go away like an amnesty.
Cheng Yingzhen desperately tried to drag her aunt away.
Aunt Ding didn’t dare to leave.
Seeing blood during the Chinese New Year, Cheng Yuzhu, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, felt it was too unlucky and waved her hand to Aunt Ding to get out too.
Wan Shi frowned.
Cheng Yuzhu had no choice but to coax, "Mom, you don't think it's unlucky to celebrate the New Year, but I don't. My eldest son is getting married to the family of the Minister of Rites!"
Wanshi's face softened.
Going back to her aunt's room, it was a small room that was worse than a low-level servant. It was so cold that she was shivering. Cheng Yingzhen burst into tears when she saw it. It was all her fault for being useless, all her fault!
This is not the wife's fault. The wife can't get ahead as a woman, but he is useless as a man!
Su Yanli stood at the door of the room and wanted to hit him to death, covering his face to hide his sorrow.
Su Ruojin didn't know what was going on in the uncle's house. From birth to now, apart from taking Su Dalang to the uncle's house, her parents had never entered the uncle's house.
On the one hand, based on what Su Ruojin knew, her cheap grandfather only knew how to collect Boxing Day gifts before the New Year, and never let his parents return to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year. He obviously didn't want to give red envelopes to the children.
Such a snobbish uncle, Su Ruojin has no interest in receiving this red envelope.
It wasn't until dark that Su Yanli and his wife came back.
When she came back, she was covered in blood. Su Ruojin’s heart was so frightened that she asked, “Dad, what’s wrong with mother?”
He said that in previous years, the annual gift was only seven or eight taels, but this year it was nearly 20 taels. It was a lot, so why did they let them bleed during surgery? Did something happen?
Su Yanli was exhausted mentally and physically, "Ah Jin, please have hot water. Let your mother and I wash up first."
Su Ruojin suppressed her thoughts and asked Mother Dong and Shushou to wait on them while she went to make dinner.
All the vegetables and meat are ready. It’s cold in winter, so I’m afraid it’ll be too cold after cooking, so I’ll wait for the two of them to come back and start cooking.
Su Yanli and his wife haven't come back since the sun has set. Su Ruojin wondered, could it be that the uncle's house gave them a gift as a holiday gift this year and allowed them to have dinner? He also remembered what his father had said about his cheap grandfather. Although he was a concubine in the uncle's house, he had a really big appetite. He married all the concubines to either powerful people or wealthy businessmen, and he collected as gifts every year. There are several thousand taels.
His parents would really look down their noses at the New Year's gift worth seven or eight taels every year.
Then just roll your eyes at it, Mr. Fan also accepted seven or eight taels. Not only did he not take it lightly, he also invited me to the lamp shed to drink tea and look at the lights!
Compared with others, there will be no scum left in a second.
Su Yanli and his wife didn't come out immediately after washing. They sat in the bedroom, their suppressed emotions bursting out as they worried about Aunt Ding's injury. They couldn't help but hold their heads and cry loudly. Su Ruojin had four dishes and one soup cooked, but the two of them hadn't come out yet. She went to knock on the door, but was stopped by Dong's mother, "Wait a moment!" After saying that, she couldn't help wiping her tears.
"Mom, what happened?" Su Ruojin took the opportunity to learn about the situation of going to the uncle's house.
Mother Dong pulled the second lady away before she elaborated on what happened in the afternoon. When Su Ruojin heard this, she turned around and went to the kitchen to get a knife to kill her. Mother Dong was so frightened that she hugged her and said, "Oh my God, my little master, this kind of thing is terrible." It can’t be done with a knife.”
“Then let my parents and aunt suffer this in vain?”
What can I do if I don’t accept it? The Wan family used to set rules for the concubine, and everything was fine, leaving no room for adults to be reasonable. Mother Dong could only sigh.
Su Ruojin was really angry: "My father is also a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial College, but their family has no children in the Imperial College?"
Shu Tong, the copyist, squatted on the ground. When he heard the young master's words, he snorted coldly, "If they can educate the children who enter the Imperial Academy, will they look down on us?"
Just because he couldn't get enough money from Su Yanli, he felt that he was worthless, and that's why he didn't look good to the Su family.
Su Ruojin: ...Grandma, is it true that "everything is inferior, only reading is good" is only valid for ordinary people?
The dinner on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was divided into three parts. The first was for Su Dalang and his brothers. Su Ruojin coaxed them to eat and go to bed. The second was for the Feng family and his son, Shu and Dong's mother. It was not until eight or nine o'clock that Su Yanli and his wife recovered. In a good mood, I had dinner with my daughter.
While eating, Su Ruojin advised the couple, "In the near future, let Uncle Shu Tong deliver the New Year's gifts to the concierge. They can accept it or not if they like it. No matter what, let's live a good life."
Su Yanli didn’t say anything.
Cheng Yingzhen said: "I don't care what those arrogant people do, they are just my aunt..."
Aunt Ding is only in her forties. She has been worn down like an old lady. Her pale eyes look like she could die if she is not careful. Cheng Yingzhen really does not dare to think about it...
Yes, if it weren't for Aunt Ding, her mother doesn't care about Xuanbo's Mansion. She gives holiday gifts every year just to make Aunt Ding live a better life there. It seems that it has no effect at all, and even makes these people more famous. Aunt Ding, if this continues, no matter how good a person is, he will be beaten to death. It seems that he has to find a way to let his aunt leave the Xuanbo Mansion. Su Ruojin did not tell her mother what she was thinking. First, she didn't expect it for the time being. On the other hand, I am afraid that if I say it but fail to do it, it will make my mother even more sad.
Then I thought that on the next day, the 29th day of the New Year, Cheng Yingzhen fell ill and had a very high fever, which frightened everyone in the Su family and made them unable to even do business.
Su Yanli went to invite the doctor, and Su Ruojin used ice to cool down. The Feng family and his son also burned plant ashes for the nobleman to drink.
“Everyone in our village is good at drinking this.”
Su Ruojin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She thanked them for their kindness in not leaving the stall and letting them rest for a day.
Feng family’s father and son, Sannaken, have been making hawthorn products in their workshop.
The doctor came and took the pulse, "I am worried too much, and my health is not good. The wind enters the evil body, and the symptoms are triggered at once. Take a few doses of medicine!"
After writing the prescription, the doctor said again and again, "Don't let her work anymore. You must take good care of her, otherwise she will suffer when you get old."
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, which was supposed to be a good day for reunions and celebrations. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yingzhen returned from a trip to her parents' home. Not only did she fall ill, but her home was also filled with dark clouds.
The tears of self-blame continued.
Su Yanli could not persuade him no matter how hard he tried.
Su Ruojin had no choice but to be kind-hearted and promised her mother, "I will definitely find a way to get my aunt out of the man-eating uncle's house."
