Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 29

Su Tong sighed, and sat down next to Su Wencheng, showing a little tiredness in his expression, and shook his head lightly: "Father, everything is fine with my daughter, please don't worry, but please forgive me, my daughter is no longer Maybe married to Saburo Wang."

Her voice was very soft, but it was like a bolt from the blue, causing Su Wencheng's complexion to change drastically.

"what?"

Su Tong raised his head and looked at his father's unspeakably shocked face, "Father, if Wang Sanlang pushed me into the river today, if his daughter really married into his Wang family tomorrow, how would there be any way out?"

Su Wencheng was startled, did not scold Su Tong, but pondered for a long time, and sighed: "A Tong, you must know that the engagement between you and Wang Sanlang has long been known to everyone. Marriage may be difficult."

He is not the sour scholar who waits for the fireworks of the world. He has lived in this world for so long, and he understands the rules of the world quite well. It's a patriarchal society.

"Father, my daughter has been thinking about it for a long time, and it's not just a moment of heat. My daughter would rather not get married for the rest of her life than lose her life in the Wang family for no reason. Please allow me."

Seeing the persistence and determination on his daughter's face, Su Wencheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a wry smile, "What did you say that you lost your life? How could it be so serious? Forget it, if you really make up your mind, Dad will go and annul the engagement."

Only then did Su Tong heave a sigh of relief. She actually didn't expect Su Wencheng to agree so readily, but she didn't know that her father was really conflicted and regretted a lot.

In this father's heart, his daughter can be said to have a deep affection for Wang Sanlang, but now he, the precious daughter who has admired Wang Sanlang since childhood, actually wants to divorce and separate from his fiancé whom he has loved for so many years. It's a grievance, otherwise, with that child's temper, how could he be willing?
If Su Wencheng hadn't been sure that his daughter really had a heart for Wang Sanlang, he wouldn't have pushed Sun Changqing, whom he was more optimistic about.

It can be said that Su and Wang's marriage can be settled, not only that Su Wencheng attaches great importance to promises, but more importantly, he is an enlightened and good father who loves his daughter.

If at that time Su Tongfan liked Sun Changqing a little bit instead of Wang Sanlang's appearance, Su Wencheng was accused of breaking his promise, and he would definitely accept the marriage of the Sun family. You can just use a joke to get rid of it.

Su Wencheng sighed intentionally—if he had been more cautious and had chosen Sun Changqing that year, how good would it be?Looking at her daughter's face with a sigh of relief, she couldn't help her nose sore, and said in a depressive way: "A Tong, I have wronged you, it is because Daddy is incompetent."

Su Tong was taken aback. She was the best at guessing people's hearts. Just looking at Su Wencheng's expression, she suddenly understood what this man was thinking. She couldn't help being moved.

Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even in the 21st century, a father who can be so considerate of his daughter can be regarded as the best father in the world.

That Su Tong is really lucky.

The father and daughter said a few words, and Su Wencheng distributed the gifts brought back from outside to the children. They were not worth much. Su Tong and Xue Min had a new set of clothes, and Xue Tiannan and Erlang also had a new set of clothes. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but the grade is not high.

Su Tong was very happy. Looking at these things at least showed that her father went out to work, even if he didn't earn much, he didn't get so mixed up that he couldn't afford to eat.Erlang was also very happy, happily bouncing around with the things his father gave him, but Xue Tiannan and Xue Min dismissed them, Xue Tiannan disliked that the paper was too rough, and the ink was not good, so he took it out and used it to drop the price, Xue Tiannan Min felt that the quality of the linen clothes was too poor, and the colors were not bright, very tacky.

Su Wencheng could tell the thoughts of the two children at a glance, but these two were not his own children after all, and he was too lazy to take care of them.

Su Wencheng was also a decisive person. Now that he had made up his mind, he stopped delaying. After dinner, he went to Wang's house alone without saying hello to Mrs. Liu.

Su Tong watched him go out, and couldn't help feeling a little worried and uneasy. He took a basin of cold water to wash his face, and then calmed down his heart. Looking at the snowflakes falling again outside the window, he exhaled.

But things were not as complicated as she thought. Su Wencheng went out and returned home with snowflakes all over before he had time for a cup of tea, but his face was really not good.

Seeing his gloomy face, Su Tong couldn't help jumping in his heart, and asked softly, "Daddy, is everything going well?"

Su Wencheng nodded, it was more than smooth?When he went, Wang Sanlang was not at home. As soon as his father heard that Su Wencheng had come to withdraw the engagement, he hurriedly agreed with him, his face was full of joy, anyone could tell that the Wang family had long wanted to regret the marriage, but they were only afraid of affecting Wang Sanlang's life. Fame, that's the delay.

Taking out the marriage letter from his bosom, Su Wencheng took a torch and lit it. Su Tong watched the marriage letter turn into ashes, and he was relieved, feeling refreshed all of a sudden.

However, Su Wencheng sighed, his melancholy was difficult to understand, but he comforted his daughter: "The Wang family is not kind, and it will not be good for Ah Tong to marry in the past. In the future, Dad will choose a good husband for you."

This night, it was rare for Su Tong to sleep soundly and soundly, which could be regarded as her first good sleep without dreams since she came to this era.

Su Wencheng returned home, but he still had to consider his livelihood. Xu was stimulated by the Wang family and saw his precious daughter working hard to make money. He went out early every day and went to the street to write and write for others. letter.

But Xixi Town is too small, his business is really not good, and his income is less than half of that of Su Tong.

Seeing her father's increasingly haggard face, Su Tong felt uncomfortable, but she felt that it would be better for Su Wencheng to take the initiative to find an errand than to stay at home and not give birth.

What's more, Mrs. Liu didn't know if she broke her fortune, was stimulated, became more domineering, and was ridiculed by her father at every turn. Su Wencheng is a kind person, and he doesn't want to argue with a woman, let alone that it is his wife. He is always unwilling to speak ill of his wife, at most he just ignores it, and goes out every day to hide himself.

This day, just after Su Tong came back from Qingchun Hall, he saw Su Wencheng packing his bookcase, sitting alone on the stone steps, holding a book that looked fairly new in a daze.

The box of books is the only valuable property of the Su family. Su Wencheng likes it very much. Even when he goes out to work, he always carries it on his back. Whenever he has time, he takes it out and reads it carefully.

"Daddy?" Su Tong looked at the sky, "It might snow even today. Daddy wants to post books now?"

But Su Wencheng didn't seem to hear it, he stroked the book carefully for a long time, gritted his teeth, put the book back into the box, raised his head and said: "A Tong, in a few days my father will go to the street and sell these books, will my father not?" Read."

His voice was not high, but Su Tong gasped in fright.

Who didn't know that Su Wencheng was so focused on the imperial examination that he refused to study now?

"Father is useless, and he can't be famous for studying. The imperial examination is so easy to pass. It's better to start a business and earn money, so that Erlang can study. Erlang is smarter than me."
