The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 843
After Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo returned to Beijing, Lu Jinhua had been looking for an opportunity to confess to Su Yunduo, but unfortunately the opportunity was rare.

One was that Su Yunduo was too busy after returning to Beijing, and Lu Jinhua couldn't find a suitable opportunity at all.

Second, it was because Su Yunduo acted too fast, and it seemed that the problem of the ice shop was fully exposed during Lu Jinhua's hesitation.

Seeing that the harmonious relationship he had finally established with his eldest brother and sister-in-law appeared cracks and showed signs of complete breakdown, 16-year-old Lu Jinhua panicked like an ant on a hot pot. Fengyuan approached Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang but was rejected by Lu Jinkang for various reasons.

Helpless, Lu Jinhua finally had to ask Lu Mingyang for help, knelt down in front of Lu Mingyang to state his mistakes, and begged Lu Mingyang to come forward and speak well in front of Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo.

Thousands of mistakes are his own fault, even if the sister-in-law is unwilling to manage his money, I hope that Lu Yujiao and Lu Yuya will not be affected by his mistakes. After all, the two sisters did not make mistakes, and it is only him who is wrong!

This matter had already reached Lu Mingyang's ears when Xu's family opened the ice shop.

The reason why he didn't come forward to solve the problem, he just pressed down the ice shop to send a message to Boni City, just wanted to see how Lu Jinhua would handle the matter, but he was very disappointed in the result.

He never expected that Lu Jinhua had no other means other than negotiating with the Xu family, let alone writing a letter to Su Yunduo to confess the matter.

When Su Yunduo returned to Beijing and found out the problem, Lu Jinhua still did not confess to Su Yunduo,

Lu Mingyang was very disappointed by his hesitant and secretive attitude, and he often sighed with An's.

It was too late to think of asking him for help now.

At the beginning when Su Yunduo accepted his somewhat unreasonable conditions to manage the money for the little ones because of his old face, Lu Mingyang already felt sorry for Su Yunduo, how could he have the face to ask Su Yunduo again?
"If I had known why today, what would you have done? Let me tell you, I don't have the face to help you at this point! The only person who can let your elder brother and sister-in-law let go!" Lu Mingyang remained sullen for a long time. It was not until Lu Jinhua couldn't bear it any longer that he opened his mouth to make a point.

Lu Jinhua felt distressed, if he could accomplish something by himself, why would he come to ask his grandfather?

But Lu Mingyang obviously didn't want to say any more, picked up the tea bowl and drank tea slowly, without even looking at him.

Lu Jinhua naturally understood that Lu Mingyang meant to let him go out. Even if he knelt here until he died, there would be no good results, and it might be counterproductive.

Coming out of the study in a daze, Lu Jinhua stood outside the study for a long time, gritted his teeth and finally decided to go to Xiaofengyuan to beg Su Yunduo again.

Su Yunduo is not too busy today, he is telling a story to Brother Huan, the faint laughter from Xiaofeng Garden made Lu Jinhua feel inexplicable envy, this is the way mother and child get along!
Lu Jinhua couldn't bear to break the joyful atmosphere inside, so he stopped outside Xiaofengyuan, but the old woman who guarded the door directly invited him in, which made him startled slightly.

In the past few days, he has been running to Xiaofengyuan frequently, and this is the first time he has been invited into Xiaofengyuan.

Someone took Lu Jinhua to the small flower hall, and Su Yunduo whispered that brother Huan, who had been stuck in his arms and wanted to continue listening to the story, played with Baizhi first, and then went to the small flower hall.

Seeing Su Yunduo coming in, Lu Jinhua, who was fidgeting at first, quickly stood up and saluted Su Yunduo cautiously.

The two uncles and sisters-in-law sat down respectively, Bai Mian came in with the little maid brought refreshments, left Bai Tao to serve in the small flower hall, and the others followed Bai Mian out of the small flower hall.

This time Lu Jinhua didn't dare to hesitate any longer, stood up again to express his apology and guilt to Su Yunduo, and finally said: "I know that I have done a wrong thing, and I have already understood the consequences of repeated mistakes. I have no face to ask my sister-in-law to forgive me , but I can't bear the fact that the two younger sisters have lost their money because of my fault, so I implore my sister-in-law to continue to take care of their bonuses for the two younger sisters."

Su Yunduo raised her eyes and looked at Lu Jinhua faintly. From Lu Jinhua's attitude, she could feel Lu Jinhua's sincerity in coming to Xiaofengyuan this time. Instead of pleading for Lu Jinhua directly, Su Yunduo could hear An's meaning, hoping that Su Yunduo would be lenient and forgive Lu Jinhua for the mistake he made this time.

Regarding Lu Jinhua's mistakes, Su Yunduo was indeed very annoyed at the time. Although she didn't think hard about them and strive for greater benefits, she also spent a lot of thought.

The reason why the ice shop is so profitable is that she has a ready source of saltpeter in her hands, and secondly, she has mastered the principle and method of making ice with saltpeter.

In the end, Lu Jinhua directly blocked his own way of making money. How could he not annoy Su Yunduo? !

If I had known this, I might as well have given this ice shop to my natal younger brothers.

At the beginning, Su Yunduo really thought that Lu Jinhua voluntarily gave the recipe for making ice with saltpeter to the Xu family. Later, he learned from An that it was the youngest son of the Xu family, that is, Xiao Xu's brother-in-law. Not only did he trick Lu Jinhua, but he also made Lu Jinhua drunk, and then he tricked Lu Jinhua into the reason why the ice shop made money.

Lu Jinhua didn't know that he had fallen into the trap set by his little uncle until he saw the ice shop opened by Xu's family near his own ice shop, and he had cut off his own money.

He also investigated the source of the Xu family's saltpeter in private, but due to problems with his connections and ability, he never found out. In the end, he thought that the Xu family had found another source of saltpeter.

Lu Jinhua is able to have the fame of a scholar at the age of 15, so he will not be a stupid person, but he has too little social experience. If he is an opponent of the Xu family's uncle who has been in society since he was a child, he will not be fooled by the Xu family's uncle. Strange.

After a few days, the anger in Su Yunduo's heart gradually dissipated. Now that he has received Lu Jinhua's gift, he has let go of this matter in his heart, and he will not continue to hold on to it, but he did not directly express to Lu Jinhua that he has done it. I accepted his apology, but when I opened the product again, I asked a question that had nothing to do with the ice shop.

"I heard that the sixth brother plans to go out to study?" Su Yunduo said lightly.

Lu Jinhua, who was thinking about how to get Su Yunduo's forgiveness and continue to manage the money for Lu Yujiao and Lu Yuya, looked at Su Yunduo blankly. Such a large span made him a little confused.

Su Yunduo understood why Lu Jinhua was in a daze, so he pursed his lips and chuckled, "Could it be that the news is wrong?"

"Oh, that's right, I, I'm planning to go out to study. The master said that I have too little experience and the articles I write are meaningless. Let me go out and have a look." Lu Jinhua finally recovered, feeling a little uncomfortable replied with a good intention.

This year Lu Jinhua also participated in the provincial examination, but failed to make the list.

After he had read his article silently, he said bluntly that he did not read enough books, but that he had too little knowledge.

If he continues like this, he is afraid that he will face the ending of failing the ranking again and again, so the husband suggested that he go out and read more and accumulate more, so that his articles have something to say.

"Well, although there is a saying that reading ten thousand volumes and writing is as good as a god, there is also a saying that reading ten thousand volumes is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Since the master has this suggestion, how do you plan it yourself?" Su Yunduo nodded to express his approval Approved by Mr.

When the study tour was mentioned, Lu Jinhua's whole body became radiant, and he talked about the study tour plan endlessly.

Although he knew what Lu Jinhua was thinking, he must have planned to take advantage of the opportunity of his study tour to visit Lu Da and the little Xu family in Boni City, and meet the little brother who hadn't met yet, but at this time, Beidi was really not a good time He hurriedly interrupted Lu Jinhua and said, "It's already October, and winter has already entered the Northland. It is not recommended for you to go north at this time."

Lu Jinhua couldn't help but froze. He only wanted to see his parents and younger brother, but he really didn't consider the difference between the climate in the north and the capital city. This was due to his inexperience in life.

Su Yunduo didn't hold back anymore, and simply suggested: "Our Dongling country has a vast territory, and the climate between the north and the south is quite different. In some southern areas, there is no snow all year round, and even in winter, you only need a thin shirt. Since you plan to go out this month Instead of traveling, it is better to go to the south first.

Besides, the economy in the south is developed, and the reading atmosphere is stronger than that in the north. Most of the reclusive Confucian scholars are also in the south. Of course, since it is a study tour to learn more, the north should naturally be visited, but I personally suggest to wait until the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. It's better to go further north. "

Hearing Su Yunduo's words, Lu Jinhua nodded again and again, calling out to be taught, which made Zilian, who was waiting in the flower hall, purse her lips and laugh.

Lu Jinhua himself did not expect that this study trip would take almost three years.

He followed Su Yunduo's suggestion and redid the itinerary for the study tour. He didn't return to the capital from Beidi until it was only a month before he left for the rural examination.

It wasn't until Lu Jinhua set off that Su Yunduo knew that Su Zexuan and Ning Hua would go with him. Apart from these three, there were naturally several students from the Su Clan Studies and Baiming Academy.

In order to ensure their safety, Su Yunduo specially arranged for some guards to accompany them, except for the servants they brought with them.

They have been there for almost three years, and the classmates and friends who accompanied them on the study trip have returned to the capital one after another since the spring of the second year. Only Lu Jinhua, Su Zexuan, and Ning Hua, who have the knowledge of the seniors, persisted until the end.

If it wasn't for the letters that the three of them had sent to the capital, it had been confirmed that all three of them would take part in this rural examination. Su Yunduo was really worried whether the three of them would have had a good time at Kangyun Ranch.

For nearly three years, the three of them set out from the capital and went to the south first, observing the people's conditions and visiting great Confucians along the way, and they gained a lot.

Originally, it was the season of warm spring and flowers, so I started to go to the north to see the scenery of cattle and sheep, but when I was about to leave, I changed my plan. The three of them broke away from the study tour team and went southwest to Shu, where they really saw it. "The road to Shu is difficult".

After the second Spring Festival of the study tour in Shu, the three finally packed their bags and headed to the North.

"Sister, your ranch is amazing! It really let us see the beautiful scenery of 'seeing cattle and sheep when the wind blows and the grass', and the taste of roasting whole sheep is delicious! If you have any troubles in your heart, just ride a horse and run on the pasture for a while." No matter how much boredom you have, it will disappear immediately." Su Zexuan, who has always been calm, talked about his days in Kangyun Ranch, and his whole person became calm.

Brother Huan, who was nearly five years old, was drooling: "I really want to eat roasted whole lamb, and I really want to ride a horse. Mom, when can we go to Kangyun Ranch!"

Su Yunduo shook her head helplessly. Boni City is where they can go if they want. Last year, she wanted to take the opportunity of Kangyun Ranch handing over the horses to the court for the first time to take Brother Huan to Kangyun Ranch together, so that he could go to Kangyun Ranch. She has learned a lot, but she was found pregnant before departure, so she had to cancel the planned itinerary.

Stretching out his hand to touch his son's head, he weighed Sister Le who was just over a hundred days old in his arms, and a gentle smile appeared on Su Yunduo's face: "Go to Kangyun Ranch as soon as possible, um, you have to wait until your sister is older , how about taking her with you?"

Brother Huan reached out and touched Sister Le's little hand, and Sister Le held Brother Huan's hand tightly, babbling and saying something, and after a while, she grinned with her toothless mouth.

Since Sister Le was born, Brother Huan has treasured this younger sister, and he always takes Sister Le with him wherever he goes. If Sister Le is not with him, he would rather not go.

Going to Kangyun Ranch, how could I not take Sister Le with me, I would definitely take them with me.

After that, Brother Huan talked to Sister Le several times almost every day, hoping that Sister Le would grow up soon, so that they could go to Kangyun Ranch to eat roasted whole sheep and ride horses on the grassland. He often heard what his father said. It is said that no matter how big the racetrack is, it does not have the feeling of running horses on the grassland with the sky high, the land wide and the boundless.

As for what is meant by "the sky is high, the land is wide and the horizon is endless", the young brother Huan certainly didn't understand, but he could understand Lu Jinkang's fascination for riding a horse and galloping on the grassland.

This year, Lu Jinhua and Su Zexuan both ranked at the top of the list with excellent grades in the township examination. Some of Ning Hua's grades were slightly worse but they were also on the list of Yanshan Prefecture. He was the first scholar of the Ning family, and now he has become Ning Hua The family's first candidate, the grandparents of the Ning family who got the good news were so happy that they couldn't bother talking.

Lu Jinhua won the exam with excellent results, and suddenly more people came to discuss marriage.

Although Lu Jinhua's parents are not in the capital, Su Yunduo, as the elder sister-in-law, is not easy to intervene, so he has to make a list of those girls who are interested in getting married and give it to An Shi, who will decide.

An shi knew that this matter would not be left to Su Yunduo, so she had to pay more attention to Lu Jinhua's eyes.

Lu Jinhua has repeatedly stated that he has no plans to get married for the time being, and will talk about it after next year's spring boudoir.

An's didn't want to disturb Lu Jinhua's preparation for the exam, so she had to put it aside in advance.

Su Zexuan, who is the same age as Lu Jinhua, and Ning Hua, a newcomer who is only one year younger than them, who just returned to Beijing from Yanshan Mansion, naturally also face the troubles of getting married.

These three people are all good-looking, and they have no housemates or concubines around them. In addition, the Su family in Dongmingfang, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and the Ning family have a family rule that a man can only accept a concubine when he is [-] years old and has no children. Naturally, they have become the lovers that countless girls in the capital are vying for.

Although some of Ning Hua's family backgrounds are a little worse, what they value is his future, not to mention that the Ning family also has two powerful in-laws, the Su family of Dongmingfang and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Lu Jinhua and Su Zexuan were young.

It's just that these three people must have expected this situation long ago, and they gave exactly the same answer to the elders in the family, they all indicated that they had no plans to get married for the time being, and they would talk about it after the spring next year.

Ever since Su Zexuan turned 15 years old, the Ning family has been looking for Su Zexuan. There are so many people who are interested in it. They want to take advantage of Su Zexuan's joy in Zhongju, but they are not accepted by Su Zexuan, so they are depressed. If it's too bad, I have to complain about Su Zexuan in front of Su Yunduo.

For Su Yunduo, it doesn't matter if next year is a few years later, after all, Su Zexuan is only nineteen, but this can't be said clearly to Ning Shi, so he has to persuade Ning Shi to continue to get along slowly and carefully. Look around and find the most suitable eldest daughter-in-law for Su's second wife.
