Three taels of silver for a jar, which he carried back carefully along the way.
The money was not enough, so I borrowed some from Su Zifan.
Green Ant Wine is not a good wine. It can be found everywhere in Liuzhou and in the border areas near the Western Regions.
Three taels of silver.
Three taels of silver was nothing to Su Wenqing. Even the money that Su Zhaoxin had paid as compensation for his previous troubles was many times more than three taels, but Su Wenqing didn't feel sorry for it.
And let alone three taels, even the money Su Wenqing spent on the banquet for Su Changan and Su Linhan’s affairs was more than three taels.
But Su Wenqing doesn't feel bad about these.
But now
Su Wenqing held the wine poured by his grandson carefully, afraid to spill a drop. He felt extremely distressed about the wine that cost three taels of silver.
At the age of thirteen, in rural areas, especially boys, they have already started to help with housework by carrying hoes. Even in a hunter's family, they are of that age to go into the mountains with the hunters.
Su Zhaoxin is thirteen this year and will be fourteen in a few months. He knows very well what he is going to do on this trip back to Beijing.
After drinking with Su Wenqing, Su Zhaoxin felt a little drunk. In addition, he couldn't stand the long journey anymore, so he took a nap at Su Wenqing's place.
When he woke up, Su Zhaoxin was startled. He subconsciously touched the things at hand, but found nothing. Su Zhaoxin jumped up from the bed.
But when he saw Su Wan'er taking care of him, Su Zhaoxin realized that he had returned home, but he still hurriedly asked where the blue package had gone.
Su Wan'er said it was packed.
Su Zhaoxin immediately asked Su Wan'er to take him to get it.
Seeing that it was intact, Su Zhaoxin breathed a sigh of relief. After apologizing to Wan'er with a smile, he washed his face and changed his clothes. They were not expensive clothes, but just the coarse linen clothes he wore in Wuying Pass. There were also some awkward patches on them, which were patched by Song Xiaowu for Su Zhaoxin.
Then he told Su Wan'er that he was going out.
Su Wan'er wanted to ask where they were going, and even wanted to go along.
But Su Zhaoxin told Su Wan'er not to worry, he would be back in the evening.
Su Wan'er watched her brother leave. She could feel that he was going to do something, and she could also feel that he must be hiding something. She wanted to follow him secretly, but she held back and just watched him leave.
Su Zhaoxin was walking on the street, holding a blue package in his arms, muttering to himself as he looked left and right.
He didn't care about the strange looks from passers-by. He just walked along, muttering to himself. It was unclear what he was saying, but he could vaguely hear the three names "Brother Huzi", "Brother Lu" and "Sister Xiaowu".
When he arrived at the entrance of Huajie, Su Zhaoxin looked at Huajie deeply, thought about it, and decided not to go in. He had to do other things today.
Most of the people living in Qingxiufang are outsiders.
There are many Zhang family members living here, but this is the only one among them who have orphans and widows selling cold food and doing odd jobs for a living.
Zhang Huaer's family's luck changed recently. A month ago, the landlord suddenly came to their door. They thought he came to ask for rent, but unexpectedly, the landlord directly said that he was going back to his hometown. If the Zhang family still wanted to live in the house, the landlord felt sorry for their family and let them live there first and wait until he came back.
Zhang Huaer's family was a little stunned, but the landlord said that he felt sorry for them and if they were not happy, he would take the house back.
Zhang Huaer's family was naturally happy about it. After all, they really didn't have any extra money to go anywhere else.
In addition, because she knew some handicrafts but didn't want to work in Dianjiangchun, someone came with the flowers she embroidered and asked if she was the one who embroidered them, and also wanted her to work in Dianjiangchun.
Zhang Huaer was so happy that she cried. After all, the salary there was as much as ten taels of silver a month.
Moreover, recently, because of the Cold Food Festival, the cold food made by my mother was noticed by a literary shop, which placed many orders and made a lot of money.
Zhang Huaer calculated that if she continued like this, she would be able to save up 80 taels of silver by the end of the year. Then she could write letters to her younger brother and older brother, asking them to stop serving in the army and come back as soon as possible. The money would also be enough for her brother to find a wife and rent a yard to live in.
just
Sometimes Zhang Huaer would wonder why her family's luck suddenly changed, with good things happening one after another.
Although she was surprised, Zhang Huaer thought it was the so-called turning point of fortune.
But Zhang Huaer was still very surprised by so many good things happening at once, but she couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think too much about it.
But the only regret is that my elder brother and younger brother didn’t send any letters back this time. They used to write letters every two or three months, but it’s almost the third month and there is still no news.
This made Zhang Huaer worried, wondering if something had happened, so she could only hope that nothing would happen.
Zhang Huaer is resting today. Dian Jiangchun only rests for one and a half days every seven days, so during the rest time, Zhang Huaer will help her mother make cold dishes. Every extra penny she can earn is a penny she can earn.
In a not very big yard, a mother and her two daughters were sitting in the yard busy picking vegetables. The younger child was four or five years old, also a girl.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Huaer wiped her hands and went to open the door.
Zhang Huaer was stunned when she saw a child standing at the door who was about the same age as her brother Zhang Lu, but had a huge scar on his face.
Su Zhaoxin held a blue package in his arms, looked at Zhang Huaer in front of him and said immediately: "It's Sister Huaer, right? I'm Brother Zhang Lugan, my name is Hongxin."
Hearing the name Zhang Lu, Zhang Huaer immediately looked outside the door, but when she looked left and right, she saw only the young man in front of her in the alley, with a look of disappointment on his face.
The woman behind him also came over at this time, looking anxious: "Hua'er, is Zhang Lu back?"
Zhang Huaer shook her head: "Mom, Xiaolu hasn't come back yet."
The woman's hair had turned a lot whiter due to years of hard work, and her face was full of wrinkles. Her eyes, which were originally full of expectations, became lonely again, but when she looked at Su Zhaoxin, there was some curiosity.
Su Zhaoxin looked at the woman, and even more at the little girl behind her who was licking her fingers. His hand, which he had been trying to control, still trembled for no reason, but he adjusted it immediately. Su Zhaoxin tried to smile, then put the blue package in his hand on the ground and knelt on the ground: "Godmother, Hong Xin kowtows to you."
This scared the woman and Zhang Huaer.
The woman stepped forward and said, "Child, what are you doing?"
Zhang Huaer hurried to help Su Zhaoxin up.
Su Zhaoxin laughed and said, "I have already made an agreement with Brother Lu and Brother Ping that I am their sworn brother, so I am your godson. As long as you don't mind, I will call you my godmother."
The woman was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Huaer, somewhat at a loss.
Su Zhaoxin continued, "Godmother, I served in the army with them. This time our troops are going to Dunhuang, and the general is coming back to the capital, so I came with them. Brother Lu and Brother Ping asked me to pass these on to you."
Su Zhaoxin handed the blue package to the woman and Zhang Huaer.
Zhang Huaer helped Su Zhaoxin up.
The woman took the heavy package, opened it, and saw heavy silver. It was full of silver.
The woman and Zhang Huaer were startled again.
Zhang Huaer even looked at Su Zhaoxin: "This path is similar to that of Big Brother and the others."
Su Zhaoxin nodded: "They asked me to pass it to you."
The woman looked at the silver and quickly covered it with a cloth, then looked at Su Zhaoxin: "Why don't they come back?"
Zhang Huaer also asked immediately: "Yes, he didn't write back either."
Su Zhaoxin immediately said, "They can't come back. I'm with the general. He knew I was coming back, so he asked me to bring these to you."
The woman didn't seem to care about the money. After handing it over to Zhang Huaer, she looked at Su Zhaoxin and said carefully, "I hope the two children are well."
Su Zhaoxin looked at the woman in front of him and grinned: "It's fine! It's fine."
He stuttered a little when he spoke, but he managed to hold it in.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and joy appeared on her originally lonely face. Getting the news that her son was fine made her happier than anything else.
Zhang Huaer was also relieved, but looking at the silver in her arms, she asked, "So much money, did my brother become an official?"
Su Zhaoxin looked at Zhang Huaer and nodded: "Yes, it's a reward for military merit."
Hearing this, Zhang Huaer looked at Su Zhaoxin in disbelief, her face full of joy.
The woman also smiled.
The person is fine and has a promising future. This is the happiest moment for parents in the world.
Zhang Huaer reacted and looked at Su Zhaoxin who was still outside the door with some embarrassment: "Mom, why don't you let me in?"
When the woman heard this, she also reacted and hurriedly let Su Zhaoxin in.
In the past, meat was never seen in Zhang Huaer's family, not even during the holidays.
But in the past month or two, life has gotten better, so I buy some meat, mainly for my younger sister.
But today, the woman took out all of them and made them for Su Zhaoxin.
The child kept calling her godmother, and the woman was so happy, especially when she knew about her two sons.
Su Zhaoxin didn't leave Zhang's house until the sun went down.
Before leaving, Su Zhaoxin still had a smile on his face, but after walking out of Zhang's house, he turned around and told Zhang Huaer and the others to go back, saying there was no need to see them off.
You can walk out of the alley and go to the corner.
I could hear Zhang say, "Your elder brother and younger brother have both made great achievements."
Zhang Huaer could even be heard saying, "Hmm! I didn't expect Xiaolu to have grown up, but Madam, you have to keep this money well, it's for Xiaolu to marry a wife."
The woman smiled and replied, "I know."
There was also a childish voice saying, "When will the eldest brother and the third brother come back?"
hear the words
Su Zhaoxin bit his hand and squatted down at the corner of the alley, biting his hand to stop himself from crying out loud, but his body was shaking and his face was full of tears.
Chapter 624 Sister and younger sister, sister and younger brother
After hearing that Su Zhaoxin had returned, Su Changan thought about going back to the Su Mansion.
However, the Su family sent in a message, which was a petition requesting to enter the palace, saying that they would come today.
So Su Changan did not go out. After Su Changan woke up in the morning, he started to run around and even asked someone to get a rabbit and some rabbit heads.
I still remember that Zhao Xin liked these things very much at the beginning, and he always begged me to make them myself.
As for the fact that Su Wan'er obviously has a brand, she still has to send such a letter.
The reason is simple: we cannot overstep our authority.
The badge was given to Su Wan'er by His Majesty, but it does not really mean that Su Wan'er can enter and exit the palace at any time and anywhere, and can enter whenever she has something to do.
Especially Su Wenqing had carefully instructed these things. Some of these things were granted to Su Changan by the Queen, and also granted to the Su family by His Majesty, but that did not mean that the Su family could do it. The grant was for others to see, and it was their business whether to do it or not.
