The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 264 Appease the Ning family
Zhen Guogong, who was born in the army, was about sixty years old. He was tall and tall, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Lu Jinkang.

Hearing that the younger sister and his wife were invited, and there was nothing important to do today, so he followed Lu Jinkang to Zhenghe Hall.

All the way from the study room, Lu Mingyang had already learned from Lu Jinkang the purpose of his wife's invitation to Zhenghe Hall, and felt a little helpless in his heart.

That girl of the Su family had only celebrated her fourteenth birthday a few years ago, so why did she become such a big problem in the eyes of the younger sister and the wife?

But when you think about it, what the younger sister and his wife are thinking makes sense, the lifelong event of the girl of the Su family is indeed a bit embarrassing.

He has never met Su Yunduo before, but he already knew that Su Yunduo is capable. However, the honorable family in the capital sees their daughters-in-law for their children because they are virtuous and virtuous. They really need Su Yunduo's capable daughter-in-law. How many more?
Even if she brought her to the capital right now, the girl might still have a hard time getting married.

Of course, not all honorable families have a heavy family background, nor do all honorable families need to marry to consolidate the family's status and power, such as the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

But even if Su Yunduo recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he could not change the situation of being born and raised in the countryside. No matter how outstanding such a girl is, she might not be accepted by the honorable family.

Of course, Su Yunduo is not without choices, such as soldiers in the army, such as scholars from poor families.

It's just that based on Lu Mingyang's understanding of his younger sister, the proud and arrogant Su Lushi Minhui might not want to marry his "granddaughter" to a lieutenant and poor family, otherwise why would he be so impatient? !
Lu Mingyang thought clearly, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He knew very well in his heart that these words could not be said to Lu Minhui.

In order for Su Chengzhi's family to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, the string in Lu Minhui's heart could not be tighter, and he could no longer add anxiety to Lu Minhui.

Since Lu Minhui wants to bring people to the capital first, then send someone to pick them up. As for the matter of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan, it is still a step-by-step process, not to mention that Su Chengzhi has entered the examination room safely, is he still far away from recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan? ?
Of course, Su Yunduo didn't know about Mrs. Lu's worries and Jingli's plans. At this moment, she was consoling the worried Ning while pickling preserved eggs with Zisu.

"In such a cold day, I don't know if your father will freeze?" Hearing the cold wind howling outside the window, Ning frowned.

It was still sunny in the morning, but it gradually turned cloudy at noon, and the north wind blew loudly, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.

"Mother, the capital city is thousands of miles south of Yanshan Mansion. Didn't you hear what my uncle said, the temperature is much warmer than our Yanshan Mansion." Although Su Yunduo was also a little worried, he still tried his best to comfort Ning: "Besides, there is a charcoal fire in the examination room, and Dad brought a cloak and woolen clothes. It shouldn't be freezing cold."

"Can there still be a charcoal fire in the examination room?" Ning's eyes lit up slightly.

Zi Su nodded and interjected: "Miss Su is absolutely right, there are indeed charcoal and stoves in the examination room."

Although he was still very worried about Su Chengzhi's situation in the Gongyuan, Zisu's words finally made Ning slightly relieved.

"Mother, our father is not the kind of frail scholar who only reads sage books. There are both charcoal and a stove in the examination room. Our father will never freeze and starve himself." Su Yunduo put the prepared preserved eggs one by one. In the earthen pot, he continued to comfort Ning Shi.

"I hope so!" Ning suppressed her uneasy emotions, and finally her eyes fell on what Su Yunduo and Zisu were doing: "Are you making that preserved egg?"

"Yes, mother. Don't you also think preserved eggs are delicious? I'm going to make more. When daddy picks us up to the capital, it can just be used as a gift." A strand of hair fell down on Su Yunduo's forehead, and Su Yunduo covered it with both hands. Mortar, he had no choice but to raise his arm and tilt his head to rub against his arm, while explaining to Ning.

Ning stretched out her hand to help Su Yunduo tuck the loose hair behind her ears, and bent down to help Su Yunduo, but she didn't know what to do, so she had to withdraw her hand embarrassingly: "The taste of preserved eggs is really good. The salted eggs are also delicious. It's delicious, but it's too salty and the price is high. I'm afraid the cost of this preserved egg is not low."

Su Yunduo smiled: "Salt is also added to this plaster, so the cost is naturally not too low."

As soon as Su Yunduo said this, Zisu, who had been working hard, couldn't help but look up at Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo did not hide from Zisu every step of the production of preserved eggs, so how much the cost of pickling preserved eggs is, Zisu knows what Su Yunduo means. Why did you hide it from Ning Shi? !
Su Yunduo raised her eyebrows slightly at Shang Zisu's puzzled eyes. She wanted to make preserved eggs into an industry, so naturally she couldn't disclose the cost of preserved eggs to Ning.

It's not that Su Yunduo doesn't trust Ning's, but that Ning's vision is not big, and he doesn't take precautions against people. It's hard to guarantee that one day someone will trick him and let him out.

As for Zisu, Su Yunduo was not worried. After Lu Jinkang returned to Beijing, he sent Zisu's deed of sale to Su Yunduo along with the letter of safety.

In other words, Zisu is no longer Lu Jinkang's personal maid, but Su Yunduo's maid.

Of course, only Zisu and Su Yunduo know about this, and others, including Ning, don't know about it.

Giving Zisu to Su Yunduo was decided before Lu Jinkang left Geshan Village. Naturally, Lu Jinkang would not seek Zisu's opinion in advance, but Su Yunduo insisted on asking Zisu's own wishes, but Zisu did not object to following Su Yunduo. Therefore, when he learned that Lu Jinkang was going to give himself to Su Yunduo, although there was a moment of entanglement, he quickly agreed happily.

Now that she has become a real master and servant, Zisu wants to change her address, even if she doesn't call Su Yunduo "Miss", at least she shouldn't use her surname anymore, but Su Yunduo insists on letting Zisu continue her previous address, so Zisu Su still calls Su Yunduo "Miss Su".

"By the way, Dodo, why do we need to build another row of houses in our backyard? Even if our family is not in a hurry to go to the capital, there is no need to build another house." Ning suddenly remembered the row of houses in the backyard that was under construction and looked at Su suspiciously. Yun Duo asked.

Su Yunduo raised his head and glanced at Ning: "Our family has women and children, and no close neighbors. I asked the village elder to find four long-term workers..."

Before Su Yunduo finished speaking, Ning looked at Su Yunduo with wide eyes in surprise and exclaimed: "Master, Changgong?! There are still four!"

Since the Ning Huafeng brothers could no longer deliver food to the Su family, Liu Yusheng, the eldest son of Liu Dongting, has been responsible for delivering food to the county. However, Liu Dongting hopes that Liu Yusheng can inherit his mantle, so it is not a long matter to ask Liu Yusheng to deliver food.

Su Yunduo thought about hiring long-term workers to deliver food and patrol at night.

"Well, our family has to hire four long-term workers, who are responsible for delivering food and patrolling at night.

Although brother Yusheng brought people to deliver food these days, it was not a long-term thing after all.

Our family grows more and more vegetables. Not only the restaurant in Xiushui County buys vegetables from our family, but the restaurant in Qingshan County also sent a letter to my uncle two days ago, hoping that our family can also provide food for them. "Su Yunduo nodded, and Xu Xu explained the whole story.
