Chapter 35 Eight Pieces of Crab

The Zhang family quickly refuted the rumor in the village that the two taels of silver were not stolen by Su Yuewei, but Zhang Chengwang specially took it for Su Tianbao to repair.

Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect that Zhang Chengwang, who usually seemed indifferent, would be so kind to Su Yuewei.

In the past, Zhang Chengwang was not bad towards his ex-wife. He even carved several beautiful hairpins for his ex-wife out of good wood, but he didn't show this to Su Yuewei. Everyone just thought he had no feelings for Su Yuewei. Such a large sum of money.

After feeling that Su Yuewei married the right person, they also took a higher view of the Zhang family's family background.Looking at the Zhang family's innocence, they didn't expect their family to be considered rich. They thought that Zhang Chengwang's study would cost a lot of money.

Speaking of which, Zhang Chengwang was going to take the hospital examination in August this year, and if he passed the hospital examination, he would be an upright old scholar, and everyone would look up to him.Even if you don't pass the Juren examination, you can open a school to teach with your reputation as a scholar, and you can live by relying on Shuxiu.

No one thought that Zhang Chengwang would fail the hospital examination. After all, in the last round of the county examination, Zhang Chengwang had achieved a good result of fourth place.Although not as stunning as Yuan Suijun's No. [-] test a few years ago, his body is much better than Yuan Suijun's.

With Yuan Suijun's sickly appearance, everyone doubted that he would not be able to pass the test next year.I really went to the exam, I'm afraid I won't go in vertically and come out horizontally.

So everyone compared the cousins ​​Su Yuewei and Su Yueling, and immediately felt that Su Yuewei's life was better.A woman's fate in the second half of her life depends on what kind of husband she marries.

Listening to the gossip and gossip in the village, Su Yuewei immediately became much calmer.

That's right, why should she argue with Su Yueling all day long? Her fate is good, and she will be the wife of the emperor in the future, unlike Su Yueling, who seems to be the fate of a widow.

After Cheng Wang was admitted as a scholar this year, he will take the triennial examination next year and become a master of Juren.

As long as Su Yuewei thinks of that scene, she will be motivated to do needlework every day, and she will not be so envious of the well being dug next door.

……

Although the villagers compared Zhang Chengwang and Yuan Suijun, no one was stupid enough to say this in front of Yuan's family.Just kidding, Yuan Suifeng's fists are not easy to provoke, and the Yuan family's reputation in the village is not bad all the time, and everyone is not stupid enough to start a grudge against others.

The well in Yuan's house was finished five days later.

Su Yueling asked Yuan Baoshu to give the well-digger five taels of silver as the agreed reward, and the well-digger happily took the money and left, praising Su Yueling for his generosity as soon as he went out.

Hearing people in the village doubt life, Su Yueling will be a man?This is definitely the funniest joke they've ever heard.

During this period of time, Yuan Baoshu also bought land for Su Yueling, and all of them were high-quality fertile land, so Yuan Baoshu was lucky.It just so happened that there was a rich Zhao family in the city. The youngest son became addicted to gambling and owed a lot of debts.

For this son, the Zhao family had to sell part of the land.These fields are all connected, which is very convenient for management.

Yuan Baoshu not only bought it for her sister-in-law, but also bought some for herself.

Su Yueling also saved three hundred and twenty taels of silver during this period. Because of this rare opportunity, Yuan Baoshu made twenty catties of white sugar overnight with the help of her second brother and sold it to raise more money for her sister-in-law. Bailiang bought her 160 mu of high-quality fertile land.The output of these fertile fields alone can get about 100 taels a year.

Yuan Baoshu also bought 25 acres herself.Dingnan Prefecture is only three days and three nights away from the capital by horse-drawn carriage, and the land here is also a bit more expensive than other places.A good fertile farmland is worth one mu and three liang.If it wasn't for the Zhao family's cheap offer this time in order to raise money as soon as possible, they still wouldn't be able to get the price.

Yuan Baoshu also heard that the land in the capital is the most expensive, ordinary land costs at least six taels per mu, and high-quality fertile land can be sold for ten taels.

After getting the land deed, Su Yueling glanced at her name on it, waved her hand, and said, "Okay, keep it for me. If the original tenant is okay, there is no need to change it."

Yuan Baoshu nodded. During the past few days of digging the well, the family also dug a hole secretly, and a large box could be put in it, which was just right to put these land deeds and money in it.She originally wanted to put the fertile land that she bought with her savings under the names of her elder brother and second brother, but the two elder brothers did not want to, and the second brother even said that there is no reason for a man to rob his younger sister's land, so they would have no face to go out to meet people up.

Yuan Baoshu had no choice but to write her own name.Anyway, at that time, she can use her annual income to supplement her family.

At the beginning of July, Yuan Suijun finally received the money from Fucheng.

The few paintings and calligraphy he consigned some time ago were picked up by rich kids from the capital and all of them were bought.After deducting the store's commission, he had a total of 146 taels of silver in his hands.

Even when the Yuan family was the richest, all assets added up were not so much.But compared to Su Yueling, Yuan Suijun didn't have much sense of accomplishment.

He directly bought the fertile land with 100 taels, and gave Yuan Baoshu another [-] taels of silver, "This is for this month's household."

It can be considered that there is no need to continue to eat Su Yueling's soft rice.

He heard the word "eating soft rice" from Su Yueling, because it was too vivid, even if the other party didn't describe it in detail, they understood the meaning of the word immediately.

Now that there are more than forty taels in hand, Yuan Suijun naturally wants to buy some gifts for his relatives.During the years when he was poisoned, Baoshu and Suifeng took care of him without complaint and even sold most of the family's land for him.

Since it was a gift, it was natural to avoid the two of them first.

Yuan Suijun went to the city alone on the grounds of buying pens, ink, paper and inkstones—but he did replenish himself with rice paper and ink ingots.

He had already thought about the gift for Yuan Suifeng, a long sword.Suifeng has always wanted to have a sword of his own, and usually holds a branch and gestures there.The price of the sword is between two taels and five taels.

For Baoshu, she can buy jewelry for her. She has saved all her money, and usually buys a silk flower at most, and she is really reluctant to buy silver and gold jewelry.Yuan Suijun chose a silver hairpin with a butterfly love flower and asked the boss to put it in a box.

The boss jokingly said, "I bought this for your little lady, right? This pattern is so pretty, your lady must like it very much."

Yuan Suijun said lightly, "I bought this for my sister."

He paused for a moment, and Su Yueling's beautiful face appeared in his mind.With her temperament, if he gave the silver hairpin, she might not like it, right?

He looked up at the boss, "Shopkeeper, I want to order a set of silver tools."

"I'll draw it, and you can follow suit." The workmanship of this shop is good, and it is the best silver jewelry shop in the county.

The boss immediately took out the paper, "Just draw, as long as you can draw, we will definitely do it properly for you."

Yuan Suijun splashed ink on the white paper and drew the eight crabs that Su Yueling had mentioned.

Just give this set to her, lest she have to peel crabs every time she eats them.She won't eat it until she peels it well.He can't always get used to her temper, he has to let her change it, and start by peeling the crabs by herself.

 Yuan Suijun has to find an excuse to send a gift
