The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 226 Rewards
After a few consecutive snowfalls, the snow finally stopped on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the small mountain village, which was originally lively because of the approaching Chinese New Year, became even more lively.

Every household is not busy cleaning and cleaning, or they take advantage of the fine weather to go to the town or county to go to the market to buy new year's goods.

Although the winter is cold and snowy, the children are still in high spirits.

The village school had a holiday at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and no amount of snow could stop the children from having fun.

When building Shenquan Villa, considering the safety of going up and down the mountain in winter, and also for the convenience of moving vegetables down the mountain, Su Yunduo specially asked someone to design a cableway.

This cableway has almost become a paradise for children to play. On both sides of the cableway, children are playing snowball fights or sliding down the mountain on skateboards. The laughter makes the originally quiet back mountain the most lively place in Geshan Village.

Even Su Zexuan, who has always been prudent, followed him to play several times, let alone Su Zechen, who was getting more and more courageous.

Ning was very worried about the safety of the children. Su Yunduo went to see it twice, and felt that it was indeed a bit unsafe, but it is rare for children in the country to have a place to play. Seeing the children having so much fun, Su Yunduo really couldn't bear to stop them Besides, she can't stop it, it's better not to block it, and after discussing with the old doctor, I specially sent Tongshan and Tietou to take turns to take care of these children.

It wasn't until the village started slaughtering pigs that the children had a new place to go.

Although Geshan Village has a small population and is relatively poor, most of the people who only want to raise pigs will leave a pig to kill for the New Year every New Year.

No, yesterday it was Uncle Qi’s family and Liu Donglin’s family, today it’s Liu Dongting’s family and Yuan’s family, tomorrow it’s Liu Yuzhu’s family and Zhang’s family...

Almost two every day, it will not end until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

So today this family eats butchered rice, and tomorrow it's that family who eats butchered rice. The children's minds are captivated by the delicious butchered rice, and the back mountain gradually calms down again.

Although the Su family didn't raise pigs, Su Yunduo saw that the two younger brothers were very envious of other people's family's pig slaughtering, so he discussed with Ning's family and planned to buy a pig from Uncle Liu's house. After Su Chengzhi came back, he would also do a pig slaughtering meal.

This made the two younger brothers very happy, and they made early appointments with their friends to come to the house to eat pig-killing rice.

Although there are a lot of things to do at home, Su Yunduo thinks it is worthwhile to make the two younger brothers happy.

To Su Yunduo's great surprise, Su Chengzhi, who originally thought he would arrive home at 25, returned to Geshan Village from Fucheng on the 23rd.

After staying in Baiyun Academy for three months, Su Chengzhi's speech and behavior have changed a lot, and his whole temperament has been improved.

On the surface, he is still the gentle and gentle Su Chengzhi, but Su Yunduo feels that he is no longer the gentle and fruitful Su Chengzhi before. According to Su Yunduo, the current Su Chengzhi gradually has his own edges and corners in his smooth conduct.

According to Su Chengzhi, these three months not only benefited a lot from Mr. Lin's teaching, but also benefited a lot from the communication with his classmates. But these are both experience and accumulation.

To Su Yunduo's surprise and panic, there were several carriages that came with Su Chengzhi.

It was Lu Jinkang who got off the first carriage. Su Yunduo heard from Ning Zhongping and the old doctor that Lu Jinkang set off to return to Beijing to reunite with his family on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Today is already the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, so he should have appeared in the capital, right? Why did he come to Geshan Village? Su Yunduo couldn't help but glanced at Lu Jinkang a few times.

Maybe Su Yunduo's gaze was too aggressive, Lu Jinkang, who was talking to the old doctor, looked over and raised his eyebrows at Su Yunduo's gaze.

This action would be a little frivolous if placed on someone else, but Lu Jinkang did it quite coquettishly, which made Su Yunduo's heart skip a beat, his cheeks blushed, and he flinched away in a panic.

Su Yunduo's panic made Lu Jinkang raise his eyebrows again, but he didn't continue to tease Su Yunduo, but stood side by side with the old doctor, waiting for the people in the carriage behind to get off.

As the people in the carriage got off one after another, Su Yunduo realized why Lu Jinkang appeared in Geshan Village.

It turned out that he had indeed left Yanshan Mansion to return to the capital to spend the festive season with his relatives, but on the second day after leaving Yanshan Mansion, he received an urgent letter from Duke Zhen from the capital.

Lord Zhen Guo said three things in the letter. The first thing was to tell him that the Holy Majesty gave Su Yunduo and the old doctor a reward for successfully researching the non-scented jerky and that the proclaimed angel had already left Beijing for Yanshan Mansion, so he had to be well received. and auxiliary work.

Lu Jinkang had no choice but to return to Yanshan Mansion, waiting for the arrival of the angel who proclaimed the decree and escorted the reward.

As a result, Lu Jinkang was naturally unable to return to Beijing to spend the festive season with his relatives. Since Lu Jinkang could not rush back to the capital, Lord Zhen Guo told him the second and third matters.

The second matter is related to the Su family. Regarding Su Chengzhi's life experience, since Mrs. Zhang returned to the capital from Yanshan Mansion, it can be said that there is no doubt.

It's just that no matter how impatient Mrs. Lu is, she also knows the importance of Chunwei to Su Chengzhi, so she can only wait for Su Chengzhi to go to Beijing calmly, but she is also very worried about Su Chengzhi's safety on the way from Yanshan Mansion to the capital. The angel went to Geshan Village to reward her granddaughter whom she hadn't met yet, and hurriedly discussed with Zhen Guogong. As a result, he could only wrong Lu Jinkang, the great nephew, and let him go to the capital with Su Chengzhi in the next year.

However, Lu Jinkang returned to the capital this time not only to spend the festive season with his family, but also on an errand. He brought all the data and materials of the saltpeter mine to Beijing to report the situation of the mine to the Holy One. Delaying his return to Beijing would naturally need the approval of the Holy One.

Duke Zhen went to the palace in person to obtain the approval of the Holy Master, and only then did Duke Zhen get this urgent letter.

"So in fact, the first thing comes after the second thing. Speaking of which, the Zhen Guo government is cheating the public to benefit its own interests!" Su Yunduo couldn't help slandering, but Su Chengzhi was able to go to the capital with Lu Jinkang, saving Su. Cloud has many arrangements.

What Su Yunduo didn't know was that there was a third thing in the urgent letter. Lord Zhen asked Lu Jinkang to accompany Chief Yin to the border town to Fujun, and to accompany his father during the New Year.

Regarding the third matter, Lu Jinkang understood the old grandfather's intentions, but he was not very happy in his heart, so he was not very interested. In addition, when the old doctor saw him coming back, he thought he was staying at Shenquan Villa for the New Year and was very happy. However, Lu Jinkang was even more unwilling to mention this matter, so he let everyone be happy first, and he planned to talk about this matter with everyone before leaving tomorrow.

Compared with the last time, the Holy Majesty's reward this time is really rich and intuitive.

Last time, the reward given to Su Yunduo by the Holy Majesty was only borrowed from the government of Zhen Guo, and no one in the village knew about it.

This time, because of the imperial decree of rewards, special eunuchs and officials escorting the rewards, the whole Geshan village was in a state of excitement, and all the villagers who had gathered at Uncle Liu Qi’s house to watch the slaughter of pigs and wait for the meal to kill pigs all flocked at once. over here.

When the eunuch took out the imperial decree, Su Yunduo, who knelt the most, shook his head in his heart. up!
After the imperial decree was announced, the rewards from the Holy Majesty were carried out of the car and placed in the courtyard of the Su family. The gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin immediately blinded the villagers of Geshan Village. There were gasps of exclamation one after another, and the envy in the eyes of the villagers seemed to flow. It is generally unstoppable to come out.
