Chapter 64 Arrogance (Part 2)

  Master Xiang's condition is stable, so Su Xiaoxiao won't stay any longer.

  Before she left, she gave him two boxes of snacks from the small backpack.

   "This is—" Mr. Xiang looked at Su Xiaoxiao in confusion.

  Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Today is Xiaonian, I made some snacks myself, I hope you don't dislike it."

  Chang Ping glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, this time he didn't dare to roll his eyes anymore.

  Master Xiang accepted it kindly: "Miss Su has a heart, thank you."

   Actually, how does Su Xiaoxiao remember Xiaonian?It was because he gave too much money for consultation and medicine last time, so she was just a little cautious.

   Thank you Huang for reminding her that today is Xiaonian.

  Although it is not a valuable item, but with his status as either rich or expensive, he does not care about those valuables at all. Maybe the treasure he bought with all his belongings is not worth mentioning in his eyes.

  On the contrary, the dim sum made by hand is more sincere.

   "Why are there two boxes?" Mr. Xiang asked casually.

   "One box is yours, and the other box is Jing Yi's." Su Xiaoxiao.

   "Jing Yi." Mr. Xiang smiled, "It's easy for you to call him by his name."

  Su Xiaoxiao spread his hands: "He is young, what is his name?"

  Master Xiang asked, "Am I very old?"

ah?

   No, what are you fussing about?

  You only said your surname is Xiang, but you didn't say who you are!

   "Chonghua." He said.

   "Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

   "My word." He smiled warmly.

  The ancients had surnames, first names and characters, such as Shen Chuan, whose character is Qinghe.

  In this superficial dynasty, there seems to be no strict boundaries between words and names. It is normal for peers to call names by names, and there is no such thing as disrespect.

  Students have great etiquette, and they are mostly called by their surname or character. For example, a classmate may call Shen Chuan as Mr. Shen, or as Brother Qinghe. Of course, it is not wrong to call him Shen Chuan.

  He means she can call him Xiang Chonghua in the future?

   Or... Chonghua?

  Su Xiaoxiao blinked, serious and serious: "Oh."

  ...

Not long after Su Xiaoxiao left, Jing Yi came in covered in wind and snow.

  Master Xiang is writing.

  Jing Yi came to him and asked, "Cousin, are you testing her today?"

   "No." Mr. Xiang continued writing.

  Jing Yi said again: "Then why did you tell her your own words?"

  Master Xiang glanced at Chang Ping who was sweeping snow outside the door, Chang Ping shivered, and hid aside.

   "I've learned how to complain to Jing Yi." Mr. Xiang smiled lightly, "She's not a poisonous snake or beast, so there's no need to be so guarded against her."

  Jing Yi frowned and said, "Then you don't have to trust her so much."

  Master Xiang pushed a box of snacks on the table to his hand: "Here."

   "What?" Jing Yi asked.

   "A gift from the young year." Mr. Xiang said.

  Jing Yi asked strangely: "Didn't the new year end yesterday?"

"Capital City celebrates the new year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and it's today in Qing Province." After Mr. Xiang finished speaking, he added, "Miss Su made it herself."

  Jing Yi doesn't have any prejudice against Su Xiaoxiao himself, he just doesn't want his cousin to trust an outsider too much.

   He tasted it.

   "How does it taste?" Mr. Xiang asked.

  Jing Yi said truthfully: "It's delicious, it's no worse than what the chef cooks."

  Master Xiang smiled and said, "It's rare, I remember you don't like sweets."

  Jing Yi thought for a while, and said, "It's because they didn't cook well."

  Master Xiang laughed, finished writing the last stroke, put the brush on the pen holder, and said to Jing Yi: "Send this couplet to Miss Su."

"why?"

   "Return the gift."

  Jing Yi gasped: "You want to let your calligraphy go to the people?"

  If the person in the palace finds out, he will be furious!

——

  After Su Xiaoxiao came out of Mr. Xiang's wing room, he went to the study in the front yard to see if Shen Chuan was there.

  She walked all the way and didn't see a study open. She thought that there might be red paper in Shen Chuan's hand, so she asked Chen Chuan to buy some.

  However, she came at an unfortunate time, and Dean Shen took Shen Chuan back to his father-in-law's house to celebrate the new year.

  Su Xiaoxiao left the academy with regret.

  The old man stopped her.

"No pancakes today!" Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.

  The old man raised his finger: "One cake, one piece of red paper."

  Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

   Half a quarter of an hour later, Su Xiaoxiao boldly walked out the back door holding ten pieces of red paper.

  The sweeping servant asked in a low voice: "Didn't the young master ask you...to give the paper directly to Miss Su?"

  The old man took a bite of the egg yolk crisp: "Ang."

So what?

  The pancakes are delicious!

——

  It snowed again in the morning, but fortunately it only fell for a while and then stopped, which didn't affect Su Xiaoxiao's progress too much.

  It was noon when Su Xiaoxiao arrived in the village. At this time, most of the villagers were in their own homes, but most of the people in the village gathered at Lao Su's house, and the surrounding area was blocked.

   "Sister! You are back!"

  Su Ergou, who was fetching water at the entrance of the village, saw his own sister, and insisted on fetching water with him, but in fact, he came to the village entrance to wait for Su Xiaoxiao's three little bean dings, and rushed towards Su Xiaoxiao!

  Su Xiaoxiao bent down and let the three little guys bump into her arms.

  She touched the heads of the three little ones: "Big tiger, two tigers, little tiger."

   After getting along for a while, now she can tell who is who even if she doesn't count her hair.

  The three little ones who were called by the correct name were extremely happy, and rushed to rub their hair against her palm: "Mother."

  Su Xiaoxiao has gradually gotten used to this name, and no longer forcibly corrects it.

  After moving the heads of the three of them, she touched the hands of the three of them: "Is it cold?"

  The three of them shook their heads: "It's not cold."

   Wait for mother, it's not cold at all!

  Su Ergou's water was ready, and the family started to walk back.

   "Did something happen to the old Su family?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Ergou snorted: "The eldest cousin wrote blessings and couplets for the old Su's family. The Village Officer and the relatives of the old Su's family also had them. He also said that if there are more in a while, they will be given to the villagers for free. EveryoneI want to see if I can grab a pair of couplets, but if I can’t, I can just grab a lucky word.”

  The couplets in the town are very expensive. In addition to the cost of the red paper, you also need to pay the person who wrote the couplets a little hard money, commonly known as pen, ink and silver.

   Huang's and Chen Haoyuan's actions can be described as a big deal, which earned the old Su family a lot of face.

  Ms. Fang and Mrs. Yang came out to post couplets, their faces were beaming, and the villagers surrounded them, boasting non-stop.

  At this time, the aunt of the Wu family beat the old Su's house and squeezed out with her crying grandson in her arms.

   Adults are rare for Spring Festival couplets, and children don't want them. There is no other way, Aunt Wu had to leave first.

  Seeing the two siblings, she hurriedly said, "Fatty! Ergou! Scholar Chen is writing couplets, hurry up and ask for a pair! He is your cousin! He will definitely give it to you!"

Su Ergou rolled his eyes, who wants the couplet written by that guy!

  The aunt of the Wu family yelled at the old Su's house: "Scholar Chen! The fat girl came to you and asked for a couplet!"

  As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately looked at the siblings.

   "Didn't it mean that we will come to us after writing about Lao Zhang's family?"

   "Yeah, why is there another couplet! Is it over?"

   "I can't grab it! He is Scholar Chen's cousin!"

  Su Xiaoxiaodao: "Everyone misunderstood, we didn't come to ask for couplets, we just passed by."

   Mrs. Huang found an opportunity to show off, she smiled proudly and sarcastically: "If you want it, just say it, for the sake of relatives, our Chen family can still afford a pair of couplets!"

  Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "I said I don't want it."

  The aunt of the Wu family persuaded: "Fatty girl, don't be arrogant, your aunt said to send you off, why don't you?"

  Su Xiaoxiao said domineeringly: "I can't look down on you!"

  What did Su Fatty say?

  She...doesn't like her?

  Scholar Chen wrote the couplets, she actually looked down upon them!

  Su Fatty's words managed to get everyone's attention!

   It's just that everyone didn't think it was her honest words, on the contrary, they only thought she was talking angry words!

  Who is Chen Haoyuan? He is a more powerful scholar than He Tongsheng. It is difficult to find a second one in ten miles and eight villages!

   Let’s talk about this couplet again. In the countryside where only two meals a day are willing to be eaten except during the busy farming season, it is as rare as big meat!

  Who doesn’t want to ask for a pair of stickers during the Chinese New Year?

   "Hey, I heard that the relationship between the two families is not good, and it was so ugly last time." A villager said.

   It’s about Huang and her husband Chen Feng going to Xiao Su’s house to marry their illegitimate son to Su Fatty. Su Fatty and the newlywed Qiao Lang slapped Chen Feng and his wife in public.

   "If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to ask for couplets."

   "Xiucai Niang doesn't care about her, and she is tolerant and generous to give her couplets. She doesn't want it?"

   "It's shameless to say it all."

There are a few folks who talked about it with you and me. Last time at the door of Xiao Su’s house, these people didn’t have this face, but they had nothing to do with themselves, and they didn’t mind watching the excitement.son big.

   It's just that at one time and another, in order to get the couplet written by Scholar Chen, everyone almost turned to Huang.

   Mrs. Huang was very comfortable being flattered by the phrase "forgiveness and generosity". The last three or two couplets are going to be given away anyway. If she can gain a good reputation and step on this girl's face by the way, she has no reason to disagree.

  She pretended to sigh: "Don't talk about it, everyone, my sister-in-law left early, and she didn't have a mother to take care of her, so she was a little ignorant. As an aunt, can I really care about a child?"

  This is only missing the fact that Su Fatty was born with a mother but not raised by a mother.

   Huang believed that the reasoning was very good, and said generously: "Forget it, fat girl, don't make things difficult for you, just call me aunt, and I will give you this couplet."

"Ah, really give it away? Then what shall we do?"

   "Yeah, wait a day!"

   "I'm really sorry, Fatty is Brother Hao's cousin after all... don't look..."

  Huang was only halfway through speaking, when he turned his head, Su Fatty was gone!

   This, this, this damn girl, left before she finished speaking?!

   "Damn girl! Stop!"

   Huang was shaking with anger!

  Su Xiaoxiao took the three little ones by the hand, and said unhurriedly: "Ergou, tell her, I don't even want any money for the couplets written by Chen Haoyuan."

  Su Ergou turned his head and said loudly: "My sister said it! The couplet written by Chen Haoyuan! We don't want any money!"

   Stretching out her index finger, she put her hands on her hips and cursed angrily, "You damn girl! Just keep your mouth shut!"

   Hard-spoken?

  Su Xiaoxiao smiled stingily.

  Let’s not mention how Chen Haoyuan behaves, just his word——

  She can clearly see the couplet posted by Fang and Yang just now, it is far worse than Wei Ting's!

   It is no exaggeration to say that comparing his handwriting with Wei Ting's is like leapfrogging porcelain!

   "Ergou, let's write couplets when we go back."

  Su Ergou turned his head again and said loudly: "My sister said it! We will write couplets ourselves when we go back!"

  Su Xiaoxiao: There is no need to tell this sentence...

  Huang smiled: "Okay! Go and write! If you can write it, I will chop off your head and give it to you!"

   When she first met Su Fatty?In a family of three, none of them can read!

   It's not bad if you don't take the pros and cons!Also write couplets?This is blowing the bull to the sky!

   She wants to see how the family surnamed Su ends up!

   There will be another update later
