pastoral wedding

Chapter 24
The two stumbled all the way down the mountain, and suddenly saw a few tall trees in front of them, so they walked over to shelter from the rain. Anyway, there was no thunder, and there was no major problem under the trees.But when they got closer, they could smell the faint fragrance under the tree. They searched carefully and thought it was grass or something, but they found nothing.

"Let's rest here and wait for the rain to subside or stop before we go." Han Yu supported Su Jin to sit under the tree, leaned against the tree and found that the fragrance was coming from the tree, looked up, The tree is more than [-] to [-] meters high, with a straight trunk.The leaves are oval, "What kind of tree is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

Han Yu walked around the tree, smelled the fragrance from the tree carefully, and said affirmatively, "Girl, this time you will get rich."

"What's wrong?" Get rich?Su Jin raised her head and asked, she wanted to get rich even in her dreams, but it's not that simple.

"According to my guess, this tree should be nanmu. I don't know whether it is golden nanmu or purple nanmu, but the aroma of this tree is quite similar to the smell of my set of nanmu furniture, and this nanmu has One feature is that there is a faint fragrance when it rains, we just happened to be here today, otherwise no one would have thought that there would be such a precious nanmu here." He walked a few steps in and found that there are many such trees inside , There are more than a dozen trees in detail, depending on the thickness of the tree, it will have a history of 200 years.

"Panmu?" A piece of exquisite nanmu furniture suddenly appeared in Su Jin's mind. Zinan is also called Xiangnan, the wood is slightly purple but fragrant, and has beautiful patterns; When irradiated, gold threads will emerge.Thinking of this, there are only two words in Su Jin's mind, post it!
"Han Zicheng, as far as you know, what is the price of this nanmu?"

Han Yu shook his head, still looking back and forth around the tree, "The price is naturally expensive, but it depends on the species and age of the tree, I don't know much about it, I will find a knowledgeable friend to show you later, Let him estimate the price for you, and if you want to sell it, he is probably willing to accept it."

After waiting for a while, the rain became lighter. The two remembered the location of this nanmu forest and hurried down the mountain.It was already noon after going down the mountain, breakfast was already prepared at home, and Su Wenshan came back early. Seeing that they came back so late, she asked a question. Su Jin thought about what happened to Nanmu Lin, and told the family No one is allowed to say that such a nanmu forest can be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Just as I was talking about this, I heard someone calling the door outside. In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that it is a courtyard gate. It is just a firewood gate, and there is no courtyard wall around it, just a fence.

Su Wenshan went to open the door, and there was Xiao Lu standing outside. When he came in, he saw that they were having a meal. There were white flour steamed buns and meat dishes on the table. explain."

"What's the matter, brother and sister, do you know?" Su Wenshan was honest, and didn't notice that she was looking bad, so he asked out of curiosity.

"How did I know that you guys have the time to eat and drink here, and you'll know when you go back and have a look." Xiao Lu was talking, when she saw Han Yu who had just come out of the kitchen in a blink of an eye, she was very surprised. Looking at this man's attire, one can tell that he is either rich or expensive. How could he be in the old man's house?Still look contented? "This is?"

Everyone thought that her tone of voice was not good, and no one paid any attention to her when she asked her questions. Su Tang looked afraid of her embarrassment, and just about to speak, she was pulled away by Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu put down her chopsticks and stood up, "Sister and sister I just came here to pass on a message, and if the message is over, please go back, the head of my family hasn't finished eating yet, we will naturally go over after eating."

This is directly kicking people out, Xiao Lu's face turned red, she stomped her feet, turned around and left.

In the old house, just finished eating here, Mrs. Lu is watching her youngest daughter Su Ran sitting under the window embroidering handkerchiefs. The handkerchiefs are embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. The colors are very bright, but the embroidery is not very good. That's it.Seeing this, Mrs. Lu knew in her heart that this daughter was spoiled by herself, not to mention her arrogant temper, she didn't know anything, if she really wanted to marry into a wealthy family, it would be fine, she would be served by maids around her, if she married into a small door Going to Xiaohu, the parents-in-law still don't know how to deal with it.

"Mother." Xiao Lu came in and stood on the side, "When I went, the elder brother's family was eating, tsk tsk, didn't you see, the food is much better than ours, it is fish and meat, and the food is delicious. It’s white flour steamed buns.” He curled his lips as he spoke, “Brother must have earned a lot of money in the outside world for so many years, and I’ve never seen him show much respect to his mother.”

Su Ran was also very envious when she listened to it. The white flour steamed buns that her mother took over there a few days ago were not even willing to eat, so I kept them for her. Look at the elder brother, he eats this every meal. She couldn't help being jealous.

Mrs. Lu just nodded when she heard the words, but she already had concerns in her heart, she just kept her face, and wanted to wait until the old master came.

After a while, Su Wenshan and Mrs. Liu came, and Su Wenhai followed into the courtyard.Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mrs. Lu sat on the kang and looked at the two sons and two daughters-in-law below. The eldest son was honest, and he listened to whatever he said for so many years. It was just his own idea when he married Mrs. Liu; The second one is also a bit biased, and he is idle now, if she had not had the foresight to rent out the family's fields, and only collect some food and rent every year, relying on the second child, I am afraid that even she would have to drink along with her The northwest wind is gone, the second child is my natal niece, needless to say; the third child is married to the town, and her husband is also in a difficult situation in that family. After all, he is not his biological son, but an adopted son. Yes, of course they couldn't take advantage of it, and even the third child was wronged, and I blamed myself for being wrong at the beginning. , She gradually found out about this; she just wronged the child.

"I called you all here today because I have something to discuss with you." Seeing that everyone was silent, he said again: "It's about your little sister's marriage."

Su Wenshan and Liu Shi knew what the youngest daughter said, so they kept quiet and just waited to see what she had to say; Su Wenshan went out early and returned late every day these days, so he didn't know about it, and he didn't have time to ask his family Daughter-in-law answered in a daze: "Little sister is getting engaged?"

As expected, this question was met with failure, and Mrs. Lu nodded his head and said angrily: "Thanks to you, you are still brothers, there is only one girl left who hasn't married yet, and one or two don't know how to take care of her." , if she becomes an old girl, I will never end with you!"

The old lady's words are a bit unreasonable!Mrs. Liu thought in her heart, but when she came, her three daughters had told her not to confront the old lady blindly. She had to hold back her own temper in order to hit the bird with a gun.

Now even Su Wenhai didn't answer the conversation, just drinking tea with his head down.

The old lady glanced at him, then at the eldest son, and said slowly: "I only tell you some things at home, and none of you are allowed to spread them to me!" The daughter-in-law said.

Both Liu Shi and Xiao Lu Shi nodded.

"You also know what happened between us and the Han family. If your father hadn't risked his life, the old man of the Han family would have been gone long ago. Fortunately, he still remembers it all these years, and he comes to give gifts every year." The old lady said At this point, everyone sitting below can understand that this is the score of the Han family!You always think about it, why don't we think about it, but it's useless for us to think about it, the Han family may not give this face.

"I saw that the young master of the Han family is very polite. I was thinking about telling him about Ran, what do you think?" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lu went to look at the expressions of her children.

Su Wenhai said carelessly: "Father risked his life for this, so why would you want to take advantage of my little sister? My girl Mei is [-] years old this year, and she is also suitable for the young master of the Han family, and she looks better than my little sister." , I don’t think it’s better for your mother to go and mention our girl Mei to Mr. Han.”

Little Lu couldn't close her mouth when she heard the words, and hurriedly agreed, "That's right."

Before the old lady said anything, Su Ran threw away the needle and thread in her hand and was unhappy, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, you two are really shameless, only Su Mei looks better than me? Look at her petty appearance! Han Where is the home, that is a wealthy household in our town, how can we look up to her."

"Hey, my little sister, is it you who are shameless? How dare you, a girl, say such things? The Han family is so strict in rules, can they appreciate your frivolous temperament?" Su Wenhai immediately counterattacked, and the little Lu family Cheer him up behind him.

Su Ran was annoyed by what he said, so she simply turned around and cried on her mother's body, "Mother, look at Second Brother, he has only bullied me since he was a child."

Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand and patted her on the back, "It's okay, your mother is the one who decides for you." After finishing speaking, she took a picture, "Don't even think about this matter about the Han family, this matter is settled like this, tomorrow The boss drove your ox cart to take me to Han's house in the town, I want to find Mr. Han in person, that's enough, you all go away."

After the two families went back, they had to discuss again. Liu Shi originally had this idea, but because of what happened to Zhu Qi last time, she restrained herself a lot.When the family avoided Han Yu to discuss this matter, Su Tang looked a little bit wrong, because she lowered her head but no one noticed the moisture in her eyes.Knowing her small thoughts, Su Jin paid extra attention. Seeing her like this, she felt very unbearable. The Han family is not good, Mrs. Han is not good, but Han Chen is really a very good man. If it wasn't for her eldest sister's naive temperament, I would really want to help her.
