Chapter 117 Rumors
Yu Zheng didn't care about the thoughts of everyone in the house. As long as he lived well, that would be the greatest revenge on those people, but this was not enough.

For a while, Yu Zheng was the most popular in the capital, even more so than when he first became the number one scholar. The number one scholar comes out every three years, but not every number one in the world is as lucky as Yu Zheng. He was promoted to an official position, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this year's new champion.

Many dignitaries in Kyoto have set their sights on Yu Zheng again. When Yu Zheng just won the first prize, various families found out that Yu Zheng had a fiancée in his hometown. Many people felt that it was a pity that the name of the first prize was not worth the burden they carried. In the past, there was a reputation for breaking up other people's marriages, but now it is different. Many people have started to think about the fiancée. Everything is possible before the fiancée is married. There is no way that their girl can't even compare to a village girl in the countryside. ?So someone came to Yu Mansion to ask for her hand in marriage.

Sitting at the top of the main hall, Mrs. Zhang was drinking tea with a smile on her face, and sitting below her was Mrs. Fan, a matchmaker invited by Mrs. Liu's family.Master Fan is a censor and has a bad relationship with most of the officials in the court. However, Mrs. Fan is very warm-hearted. Her favorite thing in life is to be a matchmaker. Some powerful families in Kyoto prefer to invite Fan. Madam is a matchmaker, Madam Fan is currently counting the advantages of Mrs. Liu's parents and daughters.

"Mrs. Yu, you have seen the eldest daughter of Master Liu's family before. I don't need to say more about her small appearance. They all say that her daughter is Xiao's mother. As you know, Mrs. Liu, she has the best reputation in your circle. , her eldest daughter will definitely be like her in the future."

The more Mrs. Zhang listened, the more satisfied she was. The eldest daughter of Mr. Liu's family is fifteen this year, one year older than Brother Xuan, but this is not a big deal, but it is acceptable. The most important thing is Mrs. Liu, Mr. Liu is a second-rank senior As a member of the staff, Brother Xuan will marry his parents and daughters in the future, and he will be able to help Brother Xuan a little bit in his official career.

"I wonder what Mrs. Yu thinks of this marriage?"

"I think it's good, but Brother Xuan's father has to make up his mind on this matter."

Mrs. Fan was stunned, Yu Xuan, but she was clearly talking about Yu Zheng, the new top scholar, and she thought that Zhang, who was opposite, had misunderstood.However, Mrs. Fan thought again, this Zhang family really dared to think that Yu Xuan was studying in the academy and was a white man. How could the daughter of a dignified second-rank official's family like him?

"Madam Yu really likes to joke. Your elder brother Xuan is one year younger than Mr. Liu's eldest daughter. It is your eldest son Yu Zheng who I came to talk about this time."

Mrs. Zhang's expression changed, but she quickly recovered. Mrs. Fan's eyes are so powerful, it's no wonder she couldn't see them. Those who continue to marry are all the same.

"Madam may not know something, Brother Zheng, he has arranged a marriage in his hometown, and I'm afraid it won't work."

Knowing Mrs. Zhang's thoughts, Mrs. Fan knew that her trip today might be in vain, but she still had to say what had to be said.

"Madam Yu may wish to ask Lord Yu, your brother Zheng is the champion of the new discipline this year, and he is also a bachelor of attendant who was just promoted by the emperor. This is not worthy of a country girl. Anyway, he has not yet passed the door. It is reasonable to find a better one after the marriage is retired."

"Madam doesn't know that there is a reason for this marriage. Brother Zheng fell into the water in his hometown. It just so happened that Miss Su saved Brother Zheng. They had a lot of contact during the rescue, so Brother Zheng fell into the water. The purpose of agreeing to marry that Miss Su is to repay her kindness, and the other is to preserve the reputation of that Miss Su, so my master and I can't say anything against it."

Seeing what Mrs. Zhang said has a nose and eyes, Mrs. Fan thinks it should be true.

"Look at me, I've been here for a while. I know you're busy so I won't disturb you. I'll go back and talk to Mr. Liu first."

"Mommy, please send Mrs. Fan off for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

After confirming that the two of them had left the house for a while, Zhang was so angry that he threw the cup in his hand to the ground.She was really pissed off, the little animal was born to restrain her, and the Liu family didn't have any vision, her brother Xuan couldn't compare to that little animal in any way, and he would definitely be able to go to high school in three years.

After that, the matter was settled, and two or three families came to say goodbye. The Zhang family always used the incident of Yu Zheng falling into the water as an example, and now people in the whole capital can't figure it out.Gradually, the wind direction in the city changed. The teahouses and restaurants were all talking about the story of Yu Zheng, the number one scholar of the new department, who was rescued by a peasant girl and forced to repay his kindness. They also talked about the fact that Su Yu, the person involved, was scolded horribly. Everyone felt sorry for Xinke. It is really pitiful that the number one scholar will marry a peasant girl in the future!And Su Yu became that scumbag who shamelessly begged and relied on Yu Zheng.

In Jinjia Village, Su Yu has always felt her ears are burning these days. "Baimo, what did you say that your ears were hot?"

"That depends on whether you have the left ear or the right ear, girl?"

"But my ears are burning."

"That means someone is thinking about you, and someone is scolding you."

Su Yu felt that her father should be thinking about her, but who would scold her? Could it be that the villagers in Jinjia Village didn't give up and wanted to play tricks behind their backs.

Su Yu thought a lot, and finally shook her head, put all these things aside, and continued with the work at hand.

Su Yu is weaving a bamboo basket in his hands, intending to use it to hatch eggs after the house is built, but the eyes are one thing, and the hands are another. This is the second bamboo basket Su Yu has made today. Basket, the first bamboo basket I made, I didn’t even know what it was when I saw it. It’s terrible to describe it, but it’s still good.

After the third bamboo basket weaving in his hand was scrapped, Su Yu threw the bamboo strips away.

"Forget it, let's find someone to do this job."

"Girl, look at what the servant said, I told you to find someone to do it."

Fortunately, there are people in Sujia Village who know how to weave baskets.

"Bai Mo, go to Uncle Jintang's house. You know what the bamboo baskets used for hatching eggs look like. Just order a hundred of them for ten cents each."

"Got it, girl."

When Bai Mo came to find him, the Jintang family was extremely happy. A bamboo basket costs ten cents, which is not difficult to make. It only costs one tael of silver in a few days. Even if you add the money from selling stones, now I have more than 100 taels of silver at home.But I was used to being poor in the past, and I didn’t dare to use the money arbitrarily. I hid it secretly at home, waiting to be used by the two boys at home to find wives in the future.

The two boys from the Jintang family are only six or seven years old now, and it will take at least ten years before they can marry a wife.

People in the village couldn't help but be envious when they saw Su Yu building houses and making bamboo baskets.But they didn't dare to trouble Su Yu at the moment. They had also heard the rumors in the city that the fiancée of the new number one scholar was a village girl from the countryside. She was very similar to Miss Su. They didn't dare to go there either. Ask if this is true.

Those who had previously sold all their fields to Su Yu originally moved away, but then the government took away the stones and returned the money. They all came back after hearing the news. Although the fields in the village are gone now, they themselves The Su family still has so much land, and it is impossible for the Su family to farm it all with just a few people. They will always have to find someone to farm it in the future. At worst, they can farm for the Su family in the future, and they can still make ends meet, which is better than moving to another house. Those who seek a living outside are strong.

As for the family that rented the yard to Su Yu, they didn't come to Su Yu to ask them to move out. Instead, they lived in an abandoned yard at the end of the village. They planned to move back when the Su family moved out.
