The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 291 Preparations for departure ([-])

Su Yunduo didn't refuse, and accepted Zhang Ping's contract of selling himself, and only asked Zhang Pingan to go back to the long workshop, and let him continue to do the job of delivering food to Linxian Restaurant.

When Chen Pingan saw that his contract of selling himself was in the hands of Su Yunduo, he was greatly relieved.

Although he knew that Lu Jinkang was not a person who would beat and scold slaves for no reason, his aura was really scary, and he was even more worried about the government of Zhen Guo in the capital.

Zhang Pingan didn't care about what Jiu'er said about pouring Yexiang.

In the past two years, he has done a lot of picking and throwing dung, but it is the best to stay in the Su family.

Zhang Ping'an is more willing to be a slave of the Su family than to be a servant of the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

"Sister, are you okay!" Su Zexuan rushed into the yard with sweat on his brow.

After asking, he saw that it was Lu Jinkang who was standing with Su Yunduo talking, so he was surprised and delighted: "Brother Lu?!"

Sweeping his eyes in the yard, he naturally saw Su Chengzhi who was holding hands with Ning Shi, and he was overjoyed: "Daddy, you're back too?!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two to respond, he turned around and ran out again, which made Lu Jinkang and Su Chengzhi very puzzled, while Su Yunduo pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile.

Su Zexuan must have hurried back when he heard that Zhang's family was coming to make trouble, and now he should rush to meet Su Zechen by the river.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Su Zexuan reappeared in the yard amidst a rattling sound.

Behind him was the smiling Su Zechen, the four servants Ge Tiange Di Ge Qian Ge Kun, and a group of ducks and geese who swayed and quacked.

After entering the courtyard, Su Zechen rushed straight at Lu Jinkang, but pushed aside Su Chengzhi who was about to welcome him with open arms.

Su Chengzhi touched his not smooth chin, and said with a little embarrassment: "This child, this child!"

At this time, Zisu, who went to Shenquan Villa to report the letter and picked up Su Zerui, saw Su Chengzhi's embarrassment and loss, and directly stuffed Su Zerui into his arms.

However, Su Zerui hadn't seen Su Chengzhi for a few months, and he didn't recognize him anymore. Suddenly, he went from Zisu's familiar and soft embrace to a strange and somewhat firm embrace. He was stunned for a while, and then cried "Wow", which made Su Chengzhi very happy. There was a lot of fuss.

Su Yunduo quickly pushed Ning's out of the kitchen. There was already someone in charge of the kitchen at home, and now Su Yunduo and Zisu were helping, so there was no need for Ning's.

Ning also knew that her cooking skills could not be put on the table, and since she hadn't seen her husband for a few months, she just followed Su Yunduo's wishes and left the kitchen, taking over Su Zerui who was crying like a cat, and coaxed her carefully.

Su Zerui didn't really recognize life, it's just that when Zisu went to Shenquan Villa, he just woke up, with a little sleepiness, being coaxed by Ning, he quickly giggled, biting his fingers and slurring He yelled "Daddy", so happy that Su Chengzhi picked it up again and yelled loudly, Su Yunduo shook his head.

When the old doctor brought Mrs. Kong down the mountain to the Su family’s yard, Su Yunduo happened to arrange things in the kitchen properly, leaving Zisu to help in the kitchen, patted the dust that did not exist on his body, and sat in the yard speak next.

The old doctor was full of curiosity about Lu Jinkang's sudden visit to Geshan Village from the capital, and Su Yunduo was also surprised.

Naturally, when Su Chengzhi came back this trip, he was going to the capital with his wife and children.

Benevolent today, no matter whether the newly promoted Jinshi stay in Beijing as an official or go abroad as an official, they have a two-month holiday for them to return home to worship their ancestors and welcome their families.

As a result of the palace examination this time, Su Chengzhi's ranking has been further improved. Although he failed to get the top three Jinshi and ranks, he is still a second-class biography of Jinshi.

Su Chengzhi took the examination of Shu Jishi and passed it smoothly, but he didn't have any lofty ambitions, and he also had self-knowledge. He did not enter the Hanlin Academy, but under the full control of Zhen Guogong, he found a doctorate in the Imperial Academy. He is considered an official, and he just got his wish.

Lu Jinkang expressed regret for Su Chengzhi's choice, but Su Yunduo felt it was very suitable.

She looked at the regretful Lu Jinkang with a smile and said in a low voice: "My father was born in the country and grew up in the country. Although he was well educated, he didn't understand the strife in the officialdom. How could he compare with those who have been trained since childhood?" Elite?
It would be better if he could be released outside, but if he really got into the Hanlin Academy if he stayed in the capital, it would be really hard for people to feel at ease.

Although it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no strife among colleagues in the Imperial College, after all, the place of teaching and educating people must be quieter.

Teaching and educating people is what my father likes to do.There is nothing better than a person who can do what he likes to do. "

Lu Jinkang may not agree with Su Yunduo's words, but he also knows that with Su Chengzhi's temperament, it is really possible that he will be squeezed out of his way when he enters the Imperial Academy.

In that case, Su Chengzhi's own life would be miserable, and his relatives, friends and family members would have to worry about him. It would be better to be at ease in the Imperial College, and live at home with peace of mind.

So instead of mentioning this topic, Lu Jinkang turned to talking about Su Yunduo's sending someone to send the pepper and tomato seeds in the capital immediately: "After receiving the two seeds you sent, I will send them to the village in the suburbs of Beijing to plant." Yes. Before leaving Beijing, I specially turned to Zhuangzi to take a look. The seedlings are more than one foot tall and have produced a lot of flower buds. When you come to Beijing, they will probably bear fruit."

Su Yunduo was very happy to hear the news, and immediately frowned: "That's really great! I'm still worried that I won't be able to grow a job."

Lu Jinkang was almost dazzled by Su Yunduo's bright smile, and he was slightly stunned for a moment before he said, "I don't know how the situation is on your side?"

"The croissants have bloomed a few days ago, and some have already produced small green fruits. I will take my cousin Lu to see them tomorrow. But the lantern fruit has not even seen the flower buds." Speaking of these two plants, Su Yunduo felt a little regretful.

Although there was a flash of inspiration in his mind that day, Ning Zhongping managed to send some of the seeds to the capital, and he also specifically confessed that the seedlings should be planted according to the method of planting eggplants, and he also specifically stated that the so-called Lantern Fruit will have to grow when it grows to a foot high. Bracket.

It's just that the number of seeds is not much, and the seeds sent to the capital are even fewer. This year is the first year of trial planting, and no one can say for sure how the harvest will be. It is difficult to eat to the fullest.

Fortunately, she had tried out the formula of using saltpeter to make ice, and asked Ning Zhongping to dedicate the formula to Lu Jinkang.

With saltpeter making ice, it should not be difficult to pick unripe fruits from here in advance and send them to the capital.

After talking about the vegetables in the field, Su Yunduo briefly talked about the arrangement of the vegetable field, medicinal material field, and artificial lake here after his family left, and finally looked at Lu Jinkang with a smile and said: "Cousin Lu is going out of Beijing this time. It would be as simple as just accompanying my dad to pick us up."
