The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 158 Unexpected (1)
"Yes, do you know Mr. An?"

Not only did she know each other, but she even beat her up... Su Xiazhi couldn't say that, she nodded and replied, "I'm not familiar, I've met him several times in Ping County."

"He lives in the town now, not far from here." After receiving the money handed over by Su Xiazhi, the little fat man really returned the ten coins to her: "My father said it was wiped."

Accidentally met An Yi in the butcher shop, which made Su Xiazhi no longer in the mood to joke. She took the money and was not polite to the little fat man. She carried a large piece of pork and left the shop. At the door, Chen Maochang was still talking to An Yi. .

Su Xiazhi walked over quickly, the servant standing behind the master didn't show any surprise when he saw her, obviously he saw her just now.

After leaving the town, standing on the side of the road waiting for the carriage to deliver flour from the grain shop, Su Xiazhi was still thinking about the scene just now: How did An Yi become a private school teacher and moved from Ping County to the town? Unbelievable...

She didn't think about this question until she returned home, but Xiucai was about to go to Beijing to take an exam, so Su Xiazhi didn't mention a word about it for fear of affecting his mood.

All the flour was unloaded in Gao's small courtyard.Several women in the workshop and the clerks of the grain store came in and out to carry them, and a bag of clothes bought by Su Xiazhi was also brought in.

"What did you buy here? It's such a big burden." Aunt Gao reached out and grabbed a handful, feeling that it was filled with fabric.

"It's for the scholar, he will have to go to Beijing in a few days." Su Xiazhi responded casually.

"Going to Beijing?" Going to Beijing is a big deal for people in their small village, so when Su Xiazhi opened her mouth, those women stopped all movements and looked at her.

"Autumn exam, isn't there an autumn exam this year?" Su Xiazhi explained.

In a village, only Min Lansheng is a scholar, so no one will pay attention to the imperial examination and take the imperial examination. This is a very distant thing for the villagers of Shanxia Village.

"Your scholar is so knowledgeable, you must pass the exam!" I don't know why, Min Lansheng's reputation is outside, I heard that he came to Beijing for the scientific examination, and several women, including Aunt Gao, thought that only Min Xiucai Go, then you will definitely win!
"It's good to win!" Su Xiazhi brought up a big burden and wanted to go back to her home: "If my family's scholar wins, there will be a half-time official, and I will follow him to enjoy the blessings!"

After speaking, she walked out quickly.

There is still a young child at home, and I don't know if Xiucai and Gao Yue will take care of the child, Su Xiazhi wants to go home and take a look.

"Hey, the scholar's family is coming to an end, and married a good man..." Aunt Gao looked at her back and sighed.

Su Xiazhi carried her big burden and went directly into her own courtyard from the fallen courtyard wall.

"I'm back!" she yelled.

"Wow woof! woof woof!" Mao Xiaobai immediately ran out from the front shouting joyfully, threw herself at her owner, then stood up straight with her legs up, and wagged her tail violently, looking at her with two round eyes eagerly. She, waiting for the master's caress.

"Good dog..." Su Xiazhi squatted down and reached out to rub the dog's head. Mao Xiaobai immediately stuck out his tongue to please her hand, tickling it.

"Aunt." Jiaojiao came out from the front of the room, seeing the big cat Xiaobai lying on her aunt's lap, she didn't dare to go over, just stood there and looked at her eagerly.

"Sister-in-law is back." Gao Yue came over to take the bundle in her hand, snapped his fingers at the cat Xiaobai, and the little black dog immediately chased after him.

"Come!" Beckoning to the little girl, Su Xiazhi took out a tender pink silk flower from the skirt and waved it: "Do you like it?"

"For... mine?" Jiaojiao ran to her side, stretching out her little hand to touch it.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Su Xiazhi's sharp eyes saw that the little girl seemed to be holding something in her hands, and the child's hands were covered in dust, so she put the silk flower directly on Jiaojiao's bun on one side.

The tender pink color is too delicate, and only little girls look good in it.Su Xiazhi nodded in satisfaction: "It's just that the kid's clothes don't match, after taking a bath at night, it will look good in the new dress that your aunt bought for you!"

As she spoke, she opened Jiaojiao's small fist, only to find that the little girl was holding a hot stone in her palm.

"What are you doing with this?"

"Beat the cat..." Jiaojiao is still young, and the Zhou family doesn't have cats or dogs, so she still can't figure out the difference between cats and dogs. In addition, the little black dog of Min's family is called so by its owner. She was even more confused by the strange name.

"Jiaojiao is afraid of uncle's puppy?" After thinking for a while, Su Xiazhi realized that the 'cat' she was talking about was Xiaobai the cat.

"Scared." Jiaojiao nodded.

Xiaobai, the cat who had just followed Gao Yue to the front, ran back erratically, saw the owner talking, and sniffed Jiaojiao friendly.

"Look, it likes you."

Jiaojiao wants to stay at home for a while, so she has to wait for Min Qinglan to give birth before sending her back. She can't be made to hold a rock every day to guard against Mao Xiaobai, right?

Su Xiazhi threw the stone in her small hand aside, first stroked the cat Xiaobai's back hair, then raised her head and smiled to encourage the child: "You come and touch it, it's soft..."

Jiaojiao stood there hesitantly observing for a moment before stretching out her little hand. First she touched it lightly and then avoided it, and then she stretched out her little hand again after realizing that it was really all right...

"Alas..." Sighing, I felt once again that there was nothing good in the Zhou family from top to bottom!Just seeing Jiaojiao's cautious appearance in her own home, so cautious that even puppies are afraid, Su Xiazhi can guess what kind of life she is living in Zhou's house.

"Just play in the yard, don't go out." Jian Jiaojiao stroked the fur on Mao Xiaobai's back in surprise.And Mao Xiaobai squinted her eyes and looked enjoying, Su Xiazhi told her to stand up, and wanted to go back to the house to drink some water.

From the morning to the present, she has long felt dry mouth.

After standing up straight, Su Xiazhi saw Min Lansheng at the corner by the wall silently looking at her with resentful eyes, and holding a cup of tea in Yubai's hand.

"You didn't see me until now?" He approached her shyly and handed her the teacup.
