Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 110

For the next period of time, Su Jingsen, Su Zhiping and Su Zhian were really busy going around, usually going out early in the morning and coming back in the middle of the night.Su Jingsen's purpose here is to chat with the villagers and deal with their various strange problems.

Su Zhiping and Su Zhian wanted to visit Mr. Chen and their former classmates.

In the end, Su Jingsen had to take Su Zhiping and Su Zhian to attend the clan meeting or something.Of course, the last one was what Su Jingsen told Su Zhang when he came back. Su Qinghe was not qualified to attend the clan meeting.

"The family said that it is going to build the ancestral hall and be on duty to sacrifice the fields. What do you think?" Su Jingsen discussed with Su Zhang. Of course, the main targets were Su Zhiping and Su Zhian: "Our family will definitely get the big head. From now on, this The clan still needs you to support it, what do you two think?"

"Father, I think the ancestral hall needs to be repaired, and the sacrificial fields have to be bought. But, don't be in a hurry, this year is definitely not possible." Su Zhiping thought for a while and said: "I also know what the big guy means, that is, our Su family finally came out. Capable people, take this opportunity to get things done, and the clan will have a broader path in the future. However, if it is done now, it will be in the hands of Xiao He. In the future, the reputation of our Su clan may be Not so good."

"My elder brother and I think differently. No matter how you say it, Xiao He is a girl from our Su family, and she is also from the Su family. Xiao He has not yet decided on a family." Su Zhian shook his head and said: "We You have to set an example and give the people in the clan an idea that it’s okay for a girl to have a future, and you can’t treat a girl as an insignificant person.”

"But I value the benefits that the girl brings to the clan too much, and I'm afraid that the Su family will become a clan that sells girls for glory in the future. In that case, it's better to cut off the roots early." Su Zhiping also disagreed with Su Zhian's statement.

Su Qinghe sighed, this is not good in ancient times, she was afraid of being said nepotism, but also thought that the girl belonged to her family, and the glory she brought should also belong to her family.Well, even in modern times, this kind of concept actually exists.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many family businesses that have to pass on the family business to boys, and only use girls as bargaining chips for marriage.

"I think we'll build the ancestral hall first this year, and wait for a few years for the sacrificial land. My second brother and I can get a firm foothold before building it. Besides, our family can't make a big contribution to the ancestral hall, but the sacrificial field can make a big contribution." Su Zhiping continued Said, Su Zhian and Su Zhiping have different ideas.

Su Jingsen was dizzy hearing the two brothers coming and going.

Su Qinghe became even more disinterested after listening for a while, and turned around to jump on Su Zhang: "Mother, the magistrate's wife is the host, and there is a snow appreciation party, can I let the fourth sister go with me? Anyway, she is at home. Pretty free."

The second day after they came back, the county magistrate's wife and Huang Yuanwai's wife came to visit one after the other.After all, Su Qinghe is also the head of the county now, even first-rank wives have to visit, let alone the county magistrate's wife who didn't even read the edict.

Su Qinghe still had a good impression of the county magistrate's wife, so she urged Su Zhang to accept her post.

Mrs. Su Zhang twisted her waist and said, "Okay, take your fourth sister with you. By the way, Yuanwai Huang also posted a post asking us to go to his house to appreciate the plum blossoms. Are you going?"

"Huang Yuanwai? Isn't Huang Hongyuan a bastard? Then Huang Yuanwai's wife will be happy?" Su Qinghe was a little surprised. Huang Hongyuan married Su Qinglan, and now the Su family is in the limelight again. It must not be a good thing for Mrs. Huang. Maybe she hated Huang Hongyuan's toothache in her heart, how could she really hold a banquet like plum appreciation?

"It's okay. No matter how unhappy Mrs. Huang is, she must plan for her own son." Su Zhang said with a smile. Because she didn't work and had a long time to spare, her waist grew a lot. Fat meat, Mrs. Su and Zhang just twisted and kicked in the room after eating every day. Although the movements were simple, they were covered in sweat.

Su Qinghe followed Su Zhangshi, imitating Su Zhangshi's movements: "Well, it's okay, anyway, it's boring to stay at home all day, let's go and have a look together. By the way, mother, I wanted to say it before, you Let's learn a few words too, so that we can have a count in the account book in the future, so as not to be fooled by others."

Su Zhang was a little embarrassed: "I am so old, and my memory is not good, can I succeed in learning this?"

"Mom, let's learn a few numbers first, ten characters a day, and a year can learn a lot." Su Qinghe said with a smile: "Anyway, we are idle at home, practicing calligraphy and reading books, just in time Kill time."

Su Zhang thought about it, and felt that what Su Qinghe said was quite reasonable. Anyway, she didn't have to worry about the field work, nor did she have to cook and do laundry. .

In the future, if Zhiping and Zhian marry a wife, they will have to take care of the house first, and only after Xiaohe gets married can they hand over the housekeeping rights.

When it was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Zhang led Su Qinghe and Su Qinglan to the county magistrate's mansion.The county magistrate, surnamed Cai, was just exchanged at the beginning of the year. The previous county magistrate had already been promoted and left.This county magistrate is said to be very good. Although he has not made great achievements, he is not too greedy.

The county magistrate's wife is a bit fat, wearing a thick padded jacket, and she can hardly see her head from a distance.

Before Mrs. Su and Zhang could salute, Mrs. Cai hurriedly stopped her: "Mrs. Su, you are here. We know each other well, and our conversations are also speculative. I treat you as my sister, so there is no need to be too polite." Then, she turned around to look at Su Qinghe, bent over to salute, but the clothes were too thick, so the difficulty was not so great.

Su Qinghe reciprocated, and hurried to support Mrs. Cai: "Madam, you don't need to be so polite. I heard that there are many people coming to this snow appreciation party? Please also ask Mrs. Cai to introduce it to me."

"It should be, the county master, please go this way." Mrs. Cai nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "There are quite a few people here today. Mrs. Liu is the wife of the shopkeeper of the Guangyi Grain Shop in our county. The eldest daughter of the family, Liu Caidie, Mrs. Wang is the wife of our master Qiu, and brought her youngest daughter, Qiu Yueyue..."

After being introduced by a bunch of people, Su Qinghe was dizzy and only remembered that there were about ten wives and ten girls.

As soon as Su Qinghe entered the courtyard, before Su Qinghe had time to look around, he heard someone shouting inside: "The county lord has arrived."

In an instant, a group of people followed to salute, and scattered shouts also sounded: "I have met the county lord, please greet the county lord."

The corner of Su Qinghe's mouth twitched, it seemed that the person following the county lord was not an adult, right?

"Let's get up." Su Qinghe said, and took a look at Little Nanny Liu, who immediately stood up: "You just need to call my county magistrate the county magistrate, you don't need to call me lord, that's what the officials of the previous court called , my county master will never dare to exceed the rules."

Seeing the panic on the faces of those people, Su Qinghe quickly waved her hands: "No need to be polite, everyone sit down."

Mrs. Cai also followed the reception. Mrs. Cai was lively and slick. After a while, Mrs. Su and Zhang laughed along with her. The group of ladies got along relatively well.

Su Qinghe leaned against Mrs. Su Zhang, and heard Mrs. Wang say first: "Mrs. Su, this is the little girl Jingqiu, who happens to be 16 years old this year. I see that the county lord is not very old, but she can be a playmate for the county lord." Son, if the county lord doesn't dislike it, let Jing Qiu visit more often in the future."

Mrs. Su Zhang glanced at Wang Jingqiu, and the smile on her face remained unchanged: "It's a pretty girl, look at this fair little face. I like this pretty girl the most, but this one in my family is like a monkey on weekdays. I'm making a fuss here, I'm afraid I won't have time to talk to Miss Wang."

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.On the contrary, Miss Wang breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and pursed her lips in a shy gesture.

Next, the wives of each family introduced the little girls they had brought, and Mrs. Su and Zhang gave the meeting gifts one by one, all of which were small gold and silver jewelry. Everyone's jewelry was about the same price, impartial.

Mrs. Cai said with a smile: "Talking with our group of old ladies will make these girls who are like flowers wronged. Why don't you little girls go to the other side to drink tea and chat, sweet, you have to treat me well." the guests."

Cai Tiantian is the county magistrate's daughter, her name is just like her, she is slightly fat, but she is very sweet and lovely.Immediately smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely entertain all my sisters and sisters."

As he said that, he turned to look at the others, focusing on Su Qinghe: "I just collected Meishangxue a few days ago, and now we use Meishangxue to make tea. I wonder what the county lord thinks?"

Su Qinghe shook her head: "I don't know much about tea, so I can do it right away."

A little girl burst out laughing, Su Qinghe turned her head and saw that it was Wang Jingqiu, the daughter of Mrs. Wang.Seeing Su Qinghe looking at her, Wang Jingqiu was a little embarrassed and very nervous, while Mrs. Wang was sullen and wanted to talk, but she didn't know what to say at the moment.

If Su Qinghe made an apology, it would prove that Wang Jingqiu was laughing at Su Qinghe just now.If he does not make amends, and is worried that Su Qinghe will be annoyed, he is in a dilemma, so he can only stare at Wang Jingqiu bitterly.

Wang Jingqiu was embarrassed for a while, rubbed the handkerchief and said, "Don't blame the county magistrate, I didn't hear what you were talking about just now, but I just thought of a joke, so I couldn't help laughing."

Liu Caidie acted curiously on the side: "I don't know what joke my sister thought of, why don't we all listen to it? As the saying goes, it is better to have fun alone than to enjoy it together. Since it is a happy thing, it is natural for everyone to enjoy it together. "

In a short period of time, coupled with nervousness, he almost only paid attention to Su Qinghe's movements. How could Wang Jingqiu think of any particularly funny jokes?After holding it in for a while, my face turned red, and my face was even more disturbed.

"Ah, it's a joke. I really have a very funny one." As the host, Cai Tiantian hurriedly made a rescue. Halfway through, she put her finger on her lips and said mysteriously: "But at this moment Can't say, let's go to the pavilion over there first, I have someone prepare a barbecue grill, we'll have a barbecue later, just use this joke as a supplementary material for dinner, I don't know what do you sisters think?"

Qiu Yueyue immediately said hello and clapped her hands saying that this idea is very suitable for the occasion.Su Qinghe smiled slightly, and she didn't want to pull Wang Jingqiu's pigtails, she got up first and said, "Then let's go to the pavilion first."
