In the second half of the day, Zheng Yuee and her maid went out to Su Yiju's house.
This is an eye-opener for the people of Sujiazhuang. Look! What kind of life did Zheng Yue'e live in the past? Let's look at it now!
The fine cotton dresses are worn to avoid being too conspicuous, otherwise it would be ordinary for others to wear silk and satin. Look at their maids and wives, they are all neatly dressed, without a single patch, and look at the holding hands
The box he carried and the baggage he carried went to Su Yi's family, in the manner of a wealthy family.
The difference is that these people are just envious and have no sarcastic remarks. After all, what is the status of the Su family? They have become a fourth-grade official and a township monarch. The township monarch is still a female school leader. They have met the queen, so why should they be bitter?
?With the huge gap, no one dared to go to the Su family ancestral hall. Everyone was honored. This second grandmother became a living ancestor of the Su family, with a transcendent status.
Su Lingniang welcomed Zheng Yue'e into the house. Zheng Yue'e warmly took Su Lingniang's hand and asked the maid to put down these things. Needless to say, Zheng Yue'e carefully told Su Lingniang how to use the menstrual belt. Su Lingniang listened obediently.
However, as she grows up, no one cares about her so carefully.
"Good boy, if you have anything to do in the future, go to Second Auntie. Our Su family will be different from before. Whatever Second Auntie does for you is natural." Zheng Yuee took a handkerchief and wiped Su Lingniang's tears. She really felt sorry for this.
Poor kid, who dared to come to Su Yiju before? Su Yiju was a famous weirdo, so everyone took a detour.
Su Lingniang held back her tears: "Second uncle, Lingniang knows that Second Grandma and you love me. My grandfather also said that the Su family is Lingniang's only support."
"Your grandfather is right, dress up beautifully and go to see your second grandma tomorrow." Zheng Yue'e smiled and rubbed Su Lingniang's face: "Our Lingniang is a big girl now, and second grandma loves her daughter's family the most. Looking back
Let Second Mistress give us Ling Niang some advice."
Su Lingniang looked up at Zheng Yuee, blushed and nodded.
After Zheng Yuee'e returned, Su Lingniang went to see her grandfather and taught Su Yiju all these words in a precise manner.
Su Yiju lowered his eyebrows, feeling grateful to Chen Yu for his thoughtfulness and seeing through his little selfishness. However, Su Yiju did not feel embarrassed, but felt much happier that he could seek shelter from Ling Niang.
, but how can someone ask for it and have it delivered to your door?
In the early morning, Su Yiju brought the neatly dressed Su Lingniang to Chen Yu's side.
Su Yiju was dressed as a scholar in a wide robe and long sleeves, and Su Lingniang was wearing a plain blue dress. Her clean appearance made many people realize that this poor child had grown up and had reached the age to discuss marriage.
Chen Yu asked Su Lingniang to sit next to him, and after asking Su Yiju to sit down, he first said: "Brother Yiju, it's spring planting. I looked at the fields in the village yesterday and there are still many fields that are not moving. What's the plan for this year?"
We can’t delay Yuchun any longer.”
Su Yiju didn't expect Chen Yu to mention this first, and nodded: "A few people came to discuss with me a few days ago about planting corn. I came here today to ask my brothers and sisters what their arrangements are for this matter."
"It was planted last year, and everyone knows it. This year, it will be like this. We will teach you how to use fertilizer for free. Corn seeds cost 500 cents per catty, and one acre of land requires two and a half catties of seeds. Anyone who needs it can come over and
I bought it from Yue'e," Chen Yu said.
In ancient times, one pound was about one pound and eight taels, so Chen Yu set the price here very cheaply. With his own corn seed and fertilizer ratio, as long as there are no natural disasters, the yield per mu can be about 1,500 pounds.
What is the concept of a two or three times output ratio of the wheat and sorghum they grow?
Su Yiju nodded: "It is the Su family's blessing that my siblings are so considerate of them."
"Brother Yiju, our corn seeds in Sujiazhuang are not given away for free, but farmers in Lecheng Prefecture and Qingniu County who have never planted corn are given free seeds by the government. We have to tell those who want to grow corn in advance.
, I don’t give it away for free because our Su family’s corn seeds will be sold in large quantities as goods next year, and everyone has to understand me.” Chen Yu said it very politely, and made it clear that he doesn’t care what others think, whether he plants it or not.
It doesn't matter.
Su Yiju said in a deep voice: "That's how it should be. The Su family shouldn't be lazy. It will take several months for the ancestral hall to be built. My brothers and sisters don't ask about things there. I won't say much else. I just say that there is no rule without rules.
"
This is what Chen Yu wants to hear the most. Everyone who enters the ancestral hall and enters the family tree is not just waiting to win. Nothing in this world is that cheap. What he wants is a family that can fully demonstrate its strengths and work together.
Chen Yu thought so, so he said this: "Brother Yiju, the Su family exists as a family, and everyone works together to show their strengths. If nothing else, the bigger the business in my hands becomes, the more people I need."
, it is crucial for our own family to use it well."
Su Yiju nodded repeatedly.
After saying these things, Chen Yu changed the topic: "Ling Niang, are you willing to stay with Second Grandma?"
"Second Grandma, Lingniang has to take care of my grandfather." Su Lingniang wanted to stay with Chen Yu, but she had to be separated from her grandfather, so she couldn't rest assured.
Chen Yu smiled: "What a filial child, let's do this. Second Grandma tells you a big deal. Our Su family is based on the ancestral hall. I am the direct descendant, you are the collateral branch, but Ling Niang is the eldest daughter of the collateral branch. Let's go back to the second generation.
Grandma will send the maid and mother-in-law to you, so you can learn to read and write and learn how to run the house, and your skills will not overwhelm you, okay?"
Su Lingniang secretly looked at her grandfather.
Su Yiju had already stood up, clasped his fists and raised his hands: "Thank you, my sister-in-law, for thinking long term for Ling Niang. I am very grateful."
Chen Yu stood up and returned the courtesy: "Brother Yiju, you don't have to be polite. Ling Niang is a sensible child. Now that she is a grown up girl, she should have someone to take care of her. Since we are a family, this is also my duty."
What you said was beautiful. What else can Su Yiju say besides being grateful? Chen Yu really gave himself enough face.
In the afternoon of the same day, someone came to buy corn seeds. Zheng Yue'e did things quickly and easily, and got the job done while talking and laughing. She was carrying Leng Xiang beside Chen Yu. Zheng Yue'e liked Leng Xiang's ability to keep accounts.
When I came to Chen Yu, I praised him several times.
Chen Yu asked Zheng Yue'e to choose a maid next to her to learn from Leng Xiang.
The next day, on the second day of February, the annual opening ceremony of the girls' school was held. As the headmaster, Chen Yu brought Zheng Yue'e over early. There was no long speech this year. The person in charge of admissions set up the table. Zhao Meiniang was responsible for sorting out the grades of the girls who wanted to enter.
Class, the ladies of each class brought their new students to visit Chen Yu.
In the afternoon, Lin Junyan gave Zheng Yue'e two brochures, one on how to manage family affairs, and the other on the relationships between various families in the capital and the list of women's family members.
Zheng Yue'e only knew that it was a good thing, so she showed it to Chen Yu on the way home. Chen Yu sighed softly after reading it. Lin Junyan's generous gift was such a heavy kindness. Looking back, he had to think about how to repay it.
"Go back and have these two books copied by our girls. When Liangxiu and the others go to Lecheng Mansion, you can give them to her," Chen Yu said.
Zheng Yue'e lowered her eyes: "Mom, are you worried that Liangxiu and I won't get along?"
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, oh, Yue'e's thoughts are getting deeper and deeper, she hit the nail on the head!
