Chapter 142 "Mother, go to the Su family, your son wants to marry Su Xiuxiu!"

After the county magistrate and the eunuch left, the entire Xinghua Village was in an uproar.

"My God! These Su siblings have quietly invented a heated kang (a traditional heated bed), and the county magistrate presented it to the emperor. Not only did they receive many rewards, but Su Xiuxiu also became a seventh-rank female official! Su Xiuxiu has become an official!"

Can women also become officials?

"Didn't I say? She's a female official, and a female official is still an official."

"That's right, that's right. I heard they're moving their whole family to the capital. From now on, they won't be the same kind of people as us who work in the fields."

"Oh dear, my mother-in-law wanted to marry my daughter to the eldest son of the Su family, but I refused because I thought the Su family was poor. Now I really regret it."

"Me too, I wonder if it's too late to propose now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the old woman.

Going to propose marriage now? Wouldn't that be making their intentions crystal clear? The Su family isn't stupid.

They went to the capital, where they had more options; why would they marry a country girl?

Now, their daughters, granddaughters, and nieces are no longer worthy of the Su family.

Soon, news of the Su family reached Dashan Village.

When Xu Tongsheng's mother first heard about this in Dashan Village, she didn't believe it.

"How could a girl like Su Xiuxiu possibly become an official?" In Old Madam Xu's opinion, only someone like her son, a literary genius descended from heaven, could become an official.

Su Xiuxiu, who isn't even a man, how could she possibly become an official?

The reason why Grandma Xu remembered Su Xiuxiu was because Su Xiuxiu had recently hinted to her son that she was going to choose a wife.

Because her son is a student who has passed the preliminary examination, he will likely become a scholar after taking the provincial examination.

Therefore, there are quite a few girls who want to marry her son.

Su Xiuxiu is one of them.

Grandma Xu looked down on Su Xiuxiu.

After all, the Su family was poor and couldn't offer her son any help.

Grandma Xu was thinking of a reason to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Su Lishi said first that her daughter was fine and she wanted to stay for a few more years.

Grandma Xu immediately got angry.

Why didn't you say so before, when you were saying you wanted to stay for a few more years?

Could it be that she dislikes her son?
Her son is a future scholar!
Old Mrs. Xu muttered and cursed behind their backs, saying that the Su family had no vision and deserved to be poor!
Anyway, lately, Old Mrs. Xu has been complaining about and belittling the Su family to everyone she meets.

So how could she possibly hope for the well-being of the Su family, especially Su Xiuxiu?

Therefore, Old Mrs. Xu vehemently denied that the Su family was destined for great success.

But soon she discovered that it seemed to be true.

Grandma Xu returned home in a daze, and soon after, she saw her son, Xu Congwen, rushing in.

As soon as she came in, she grabbed her hand and said anxiously and excitedly, "Mother, have you heard about the Su family? Su Xiuxiu was actually appointed as a seventh-rank female official!"

“Mother, I remember you said before that the Su family seemed to be planning to arrange a marriage between us.”

"Mother, go to the Su family. Your son wants to marry Su Xiuxiu!"

"But, but didn't the Su family already refuse?"

"So what? As long as we insist that the two of them made a verbal engagement before, that's fine."

"Mother, that's a female official! Don't underestimate her just because she's only a seventh-rank official; she's still quite remarkable."

You have to understand, even if those who took the imperial examination passed the palace examination, they would only become seventh-rank officials.

Su Xiuxiu, on the other hand, obtained it without lifting a finger.

Previously, Xu Congwen felt that Su Xiuxiu was not good enough for him, but now he felt that he was determined to marry her.

Xu Congwen carefully explained the benefits of marrying Su Xiuxiu to his mother, and in the end, the old lady Xu was persuaded.

"Alright, then I'll go right now!"
-
Meanwhile, the Su family had no idea that the shameless Xu family was about to come knocking on their door!
After seeing off the county magistrate and his father-in-law, the Su family closed all the gates to the courtyard. Of course, they had to be closed.

The Emperor bestowed many gifts upon their family.

Look at how many people are outside; their eyes are all peering inside.

Su Li knew exactly what these people were thinking.

Of course, some of the villagers living in the same village are good, while others are not so good.

Those people who are like that have skin thicker than a city wall.

Therefore, you naturally have to be wary of this kind of person.

Then, the courtyard gate was closed.

The entire Su family became happy.

"Father, Mother, brothers, did you hear that? The Emperor has appointed me as a seventh-rank female official!"

"Your daughter and sister have become officials!"

The Su family still felt dazed when they talked about it. "Yes, our Xiuxiu actually became an official. If I hadn't just pinched my thigh and felt the pain, I would have thought I was dreaming."

"Haha, my daughter, Su Dagang's daughter, is really promising."

"My little sister is amazing; she was the one who suggested this heated kang (traditional heated bed)."

"What did His Majesty say? He had a discerning eye! My little sister is a gem!"

The other members of the Su family echoed and praised it.

Su Xiuxiu stepped forward and took Su Lishi's arm, her tone filled with pride, "Mother, look at me, your daughter. She didn't need to marry any scholar or licentiate; she became an official through her own abilities."

"Tell me, isn't your daughter amazing?"

"Impressive, impressive." Su Li now felt that it was really not worth it for her to marry Xiuxiu to Xu Tongsheng.

Old Mrs. Xu still felt that her Xiuxiu was not good enough for Xu Tongsheng. Now, Xiuxiu has become an official!
And even if Xu Tongsheng struggled for many years, he might not be able to reach Xiuxiu's level.

A seventh-rank official!
Although for those officials, it was just a minor official position.

But for farmers...

That's an extremely high-ranking official!

They are the beings they will look up to for their entire lives.

And now, this being has become their daughter and sister.

How could this not make them happy?

Then, the Su family members opened the boxes that Emperor Xuanhe had bestowed upon them one after another.

They saw house deeds, shop deeds, a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and gorgeous fabrics inside.

"My goodness, our family has really made it big!" Su Li murmured, stroking the items.

Su Xiuxiu picked up a gold hairpin and put it on Su Li's head, then picked up a silver bracelet and put it on her mother's wrist.

"Wow, Mom, look how beautiful this is! It suits you so well!"

Su Dagang and his sons chimed in, "Yes, it looks good. You should wear it more often in the future."

Su Li was amused.

She gently touched the hairpin in her hair and the silver bracelet on her wrist.

They don't have any of these precious things at home.

She never fantasized about wearing gold and silver; she just wanted to live a peaceful life.

Now, however, he is living off his daughter and son.

Su Li was genuinely gratified, and before she knew it, her eyes were red.
