husband and wife

Chapter 129

Xu Shi was very hungry, so Father Su didn't pull Song Ziheng to greet him, but just asked the servant girl to bring the meal, and he ate directly.After eating, the dining table was removed, and the servant girl brought tea again. Song Ziheng held the tea and slowly answered Mrs. Su's question, probably that the courtyard was satisfactory, which one to choose, and what utensils need to be added, satisfied. Because of the mother-in-law's curiosity and worry, Song Ziheng said leisurely: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ziheng has something to ask here."

With a big wave of his hand, Father Su responded readily: "I'm not happy when my son-in-law sees others like this. What do you want me to do? Just say it."

Song Ziheng pleaded guilty, and then said: "My three nephews are not young. Before, my wife taught me how to read. Now my wife came with me to the county, so I suggested that I bring them to the county to study. My father-in-law and mother-in-law also know that my father bought nearly a hundred acres of land yesterday and planted grapes in the spring. I think the family will be very busy this year. It is cheaper to bring my nephews to the county to study than to go to the town to study. It is much more convenient to pick up and drop off every day, so my parents agreed."

Father Su nodded: "That's very good. Those children are smart when I see them. The earlier they enter school, the earlier they will be successful."

"It's a pity that although I am also studying in the county, our academy does not recruit students who have just started, and I don't know which masters in the county are willing to accept students. Today I should inquire about the county for my nephews, and in the afternoon The house has been cleaned, and my wife and I are afraid that we will go home, but we really don’t have the time, so I want to ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to make inquiries on my behalf.”

"It's no problem to inquire about this." Mrs. Su responded immediately, "It's just why you have to go back today, isn't Ziheng Minger going back to the academy?"

Song Ziheng nodded: "That's right. I brought my nephews here tomorrow morning. I drove them here because of the ox cart. If I don't drive back today, the family will not be able to travel."

"It's too busy in this way."

Song Ziheng smiled and said, "I just want to trouble my father-in-law and mother-in-law to find out."

Father Su said: "Son-in-law, don't worry, I have been in the county for decades, and although I don't deal with those scholars on weekdays, whoever has the real information can't hide it from me, so I will choose one for your nephew. A real strict teacher."

Song Ziheng got up and bowed, "Everything depends on my father-in-law."

Father Su waved his hand: "I wanted to keep you guys for one night, but if you have to go back today, you should go there earlier and clean up the house. I think the two of you alone are not enough, so ask your mother-in-law to bring a few maids to go there together." , don’t delay your home visit.”

Song Ziheng shook his head hurriedly: "How dare you trouble your mother-in-law to do it? My father-in-law can do it with my own hands."

But Mrs. Su smiled and said: "It's okay, I just have nothing to do, so I went to see how you set up the house. If there is anything wrong, I can give you some pointers."

Mrs. Su took two maids and a servant, and went to the yard newly rented by her daughter and son-in-law. Mrs. Su began to look at the environment in the yard, nodded her head, went to the inner room again, and came out. Shi is happy that the environment of the house is good, and all the furniture is new, but there are still some shortcomings: "The yard is not bad, but it's a bit small, and there are a few of you nephews, I'm afraid it's a bit crowded."

Before Song Ziheng could speak, Su Wan first smiled: "After all, Mr. Xianggong came to Hanchuang to study hard, so asking me to accompany him is not for enjoyment, there are some deficiencies that need to be overcome."

As soon as Mrs. Su said this, Song Ziheng couldn't help laughing before he could figure it out, and gave her a sideways glance: "Mistress Han Chuang studied hard to use these four words very cleverly."

Seeing her son-in-law joking with her daughter, Mrs. Su felt a little happier, and hurriedly ordered her maids and servants: "Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu go to tidy up the house, Da Niu, go to the stove and boil a pot of boiling water, don't feel troublesome, this new residence The house is still clean after being scrubbed with boiling water."

Mrs. Su really didn't do anything when she came over, only Su Wan and the others were cleaning the house, while she looked around, took note of some missing items, and was thinking about which ones were unused at home, and brought them here first, and those that were not at home, Tomorrow, I asked my servant to buy it and send it over. The young couple didn't understand, it would be impossible if these items were missing.
