Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 185
It is not uncommon for the people of the Su clan to live far away, except for the officials in the clan, many of them live a decent life, and there are even some poor families.

After all, the emperor still has poor relatives!Not to mention officials and eunuchs.

Su Yizhi's original family was not in such a difficult situation. His father used to run around in the family's general affairs and lived a prosperous life.

It's a pity that later his father contracted a serious illness and was ill for several years. The family had no income, and had to take medicine all the year round to treat the disease. Not to mention wasting all the surplus in the family, he even borrowed some foreign debts.

Su Yi knows that there is another elder sister, who just passed the age of Ji this year, and has not yet married.

The matchmaker came to the door several times, but failed.It's not that there is anything wrong with this girl, but because of Su's name.

As I said before, the Su family is a big family in Beiyuan Mansion, so it is impossible for the family to marry like ordinary people.

But what kind of family background does Su Yi know? Does anyone nearby know?

Those who are poor and illiterate are not allowed, and those who are lowly in merchants do not marry. In order to protect the face of the Su family, they have not been able to find a suitable family, so they are wasted.

In the past few years, these three people have been taken care of by the Mongolian people, but the rest can't be counted on by the family.

After Su Yizhao learned of this situation, his mind became active.

After all, she had to stay in Beiyuan Mansion for two months, right?These two months can't be wasted, it's better to do some small business and add some income, so as to avoid the situation of sitting and eating.

But what surprised her was that Su Wenqing had just given her this month's money yesterday, which was five taels of silver.

He touched his purse, remembering the more than 20 taels that Li Da and others had taken away before, his heart ached beyond measure.

The jade pendant was returned, but it was a pity that more than 20 taels of silver had disappeared.

She planned to use the five taels of silver in her purse as capital.

It must have been a whim for Su Wenqing to give Yueyin, and it would take two months at most, and it would be impossible to give it back to the capital.

Facing the clan brothers from the capital, Su Yizhi was a little ashamed, and he didn't hang out with the young masters of his family on weekdays.

Then I felt that the gift I brought in return was really too much to offer.

"They're all brothers, so I'll be offended if I say that. My uncle sent a lot of gifts yesterday, and my mother was very grateful. But my family was poor, and I couldn't give you any gifts in return, so I prepared a small gift for you alone. You If you don't mind, just stay to relieve boredom."

Mother said that the clan uncle from the capital was very generous, and brought a lot of good materials and some jewelry, all of which were valuable things.

Most importantly, 200 taels of Wenyin were also sent.

Maybe he knew that his family was poor, so he gave the money.

He wanted to return it, it was too precious after all.They are all brothers from his own family, and he just reported a letter, and he has to collect the money, so he feels very sorry.

But what his mother said made him silent, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

My mother said that this was not a thank you gift, but a transaction to buy out the favor.

With this precious gift of thanks, my family can no longer be threatened by kindness in the future.I have already accepted the gift, and if I want to ask the clansmen in the capital to take care of me in the future, I probably won't be able to.

But his original intention to save his brother was not for money, let alone for his own future.

Such a calculation made him understand that this was a conspiracy within the aristocratic family.

In fact, if Su Yizhao heard Su Yizhi's inner voice, he would definitely think that they were thinking too much.

Su Wenqing was already generous, so how can someone save his own son, and would give a thank you gift out of emotion and reason. How can Su Wenqing think so much?
But at this moment, Su Yizhao was thinking about how to speak in order to achieve his goal.

Seeing the straw crickets, baskets, dragonflies, butterflies and other small animals that Su Yizhi took out from the box, Su Yizhao was amazed.

"This craftsmanship is really lifelike!" Su Yizhao held up one of the dragonflies, and even the wings were woven very thinly.

"Eh? And Lubansuo?" Su Yizhao was delighted. Sometimes it was really boring in ancient times, and Lubansuo can also relieve boredom.

There are several Luban locks, big and small, with different shapes.

"My mother said to bring it to you to relieve boredom!" Su Yizhi saw that Su Yizhao liked it very much, so he also grinned and said with a smile.

"There is still a crossbow?" Su Yizhao took out a small crossbow from the box. It was painted with black paint and the workmanship was very delicate.

Compared to the big crossbow, which is a sharp weapon, it can only be regarded as a toy, but it is really exquisitely made, and short-range archery should be no problem. Su Yizhao fell in love with it immediately.

"And this! You were almost injured this time, so it's best to keep this for self-defense."

Su Yizhi picked up the last item and handed it to Su Yizhao.

Su Yizhao was pleasantly surprised, it turned out to be a small sleeve arrow.

The quiver was as thick as a flute, and the arrows inside were glowing with a cold light.It is much shorter than the sleeve arrows used by ordinary adults, and it is very compact.

It is a bit heavy to hold in the hand, it should be made of iron, painted with black paint, glowing with a cold light.

"You wear a wristband yourself. You can't play it on weekdays. Even if you want to practice, you have to avoid humans and animals. Don't look at him as small, but he is actually very powerful."

Su Yizhi took the sleeve arrow from Su Yizhao's hand as he spoke, and told Su Yizhao about the hidden mechanism.

"Look, hold down here and tick to the right to shoot an arrow."

He didn't attack, this is inside the house, the range of this thing is not as far as the bow and arrow, but the penetrating power is extremely strong.

Uncle Zhong on the side was hesitant to talk, and it would be good to give the young master those little gadgets to relieve his boredom. Even the wooden bow and crossbow can be practiced and played with the sharpened wooden arrows, but this sleeve arrow is different. .

"Cough! Master, this sleeve arrow is very dangerous. It would be bad if it hurts someone."

Uncle Zhong glanced at Su Yizhi thoughtfully, and he couldn't help persuading him.

"If you don't press here and click to the right, the arrow won't come out, and the possibility of accidental injury is very small. Uncle Zhong, don't worry, I still have a sense of proportion. It's just right to keep this for self-defense!"

Su Yizhao turned back to Su Yizhao with a smile and said: "Brother Fourteen, the gift you gave is very suitable for me, please thank Auntie for me!"

Su Yizhao also bent her lips with a smile, "Just as long as you like it!"

Seeing that Uncle Zhong wanted to talk more, Su Yizhao said: "Uncle Zhong! I want to stay alone with Brother Fourteen for a while."

Uncle Zhong nodded helplessly, "Young Master, you should be more careful, this sleeve arrow is not as good as it."

"It's nothing, I'll just put it away and promise not to take it out for random use."

As Su Yizhao said, he put the sleeve arrow back into the box.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhong couldn't say anything about letting him keep it, but he took a deep look at Su Yizhi before closing the door.

The clansmen don't know etiquette if they don't have anyone to teach them.

Such a dangerous weapon should not be given directly to the young master, but should be given to the master, who can dispose of it as he pleases.

With a cold snort, he naturally understood Su Yizhi's mother's intentions.

I just want to find a future for the fourteenth young master, so the sleeve arrow, at least, will cost more than 20 taels of silver.

She was quite willing, and the 200 taels of silver she just sent was used on her young master.
