Chapter 159 Investigating the truth (second update)

  Su Ergou is also sleepy.

  Su Xiaoxiao hugged Xiaohu.

   Poor Xiaohu only saw his uncle before going to bed, and didn't know that his mother hugged him all the way.

  After getting into the carriage, Su Ergou tilted his head and fell asleep.

   Wei Ting has to drive the car, so he can't hold the children anymore, and Su Xiaoxiao can't hold three by himself anyway.

  Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to solve it, and saw Wei Ting took out a blanket that was placed under the car at some time.

  He spread the blanket on the floor of the car: "Put it on."

  Su Xiaoxiao: "Sleeping...on the ground?"

   "Yes." Wei Ting was very calm.

  The blanket is thick and soft, it doesn't look like it will let the child catch cold——

  Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and gently put the three little guys on it, and she sat down on the blanket herself, in case the carriage bumped and the children rolled around and bumped into things.

   "Is this how you used to rush?"

   she asked.

  She hired the carriage, but she didn't prepare the blanket. Seeing Wei Ting's familiarity with the carriage, it was not the first time.

   "Occasionally." Wei Ting said.

  He swung his whip, and the wheels turned.

  Su Xiaoxiao touched the collars of the three little guys, no sweat.

   "Wei Ting." She said, "It turns out that there was a Sujia Village in Dongcheng many years ago, and there was a famine in the back, and the people in that village disappeared."

   Wei Ting said: "You suspect that your father is from Sujia Village?"

   Regarding the matter of Su Chengliu being sent to Yangliu Village and becoming a cowherd boy, Wei Ting had already heard it from the people in the village.

  Su Xiaoxiao said bluntly: "A little bit."

   Wei Ting didn't say anything more.

  ...

  The next day, Su Xiaoxiao went to visit Shen Chuan.

Shen Chuan's condition is much better than before. It can be seen that he is trying hard to adapt to life in the Prefecture City Academy.

   is a tenacious person.

  After lunch, a group of people took a carriage back to apricot flower Town.

  When we arrived in town, it was already late at night, and Su Xiaoxiao decided to visit Aunt Fu tomorrow.

The two carriages arrived at the village one after the other, and stopped at the gate of Xiao Su's house.

  Su Xiaoxiao woke up Su Ergou, and together with Wei Ting hugged the sleeping three little ones and got out of the carriage.

  Su Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, go back first, I will go to the carriage house tomorrow by myself, and I can take a carriage to town by the way."

  Xiao Wu nodded: "Okay, boss, then I'll go first."

   "Sister, I also entered the house." Su Ergou was very confused.

   "Go to Dad's house." Su Xiaoxiao reminded.

   "Oh." Su Ergou seemed to be wandering, and walked slowly to Father Su's room.

  Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting also carried the child back to the house.

   Wei Ting led the horse to the backyard, the carriage was too big and had to be left at the door.

  Ancient horse-drawn carriages are fine for one or two rides, but such a long journey all day long is really tiring.

  After washing, Su Xiaoxiao collapsed on the bed, unable to lift a single finger.

  She is still fat, with a lot of fat, and she is shockproof. Wei Ting and the others are probably more uncomfortable.

   "Wei Ting, ummmm..."

  In the future, when we have money, we must build roads first. Instead of dirt roads with pits and holes, we need smooth concrete roads. You don’t know how smooth and cool the road is when driving——

   Wei Ting didn't hear a single word, and then someone breathed evenly from his small nose.

   Wei Ting looked at the big and three children who were sleeping soundly on the bed, wondering if they had been together for a long time, they even looked exactly the same when they were sleeping.

   Wei Ting's eyes were slightly complicated.

  His leg injury has healed, and he has obtained the soldier talisman and the Prefecture City items. It's time... to consider returning to Beijing.

——

  Papa Su was woken up by three little guys poking their heads.

"grandfather."

   Dumb lay on the bed and called him.

"grandfather!"

"grandfather!"

   Erhu and Xiaohu also came over.

  Papa Su's eyes lit up: "Hey? You're back? Big tiger! Two tigers! Little tiger!"

   Three black faces.

  Xiaohu pointed to himself, and then pointed to the two elder brothers beside him: "It's a small axe, a big axe, and a two-axe! Grandpa, you're mistaken again!"

   "Ahem! I forgot to count the swirls." Su Cheng coughed lightly and asked, "Where's your mother?"

   "Stove house, make cakes." Erhu said.

Dahu pushed a small box in front of him: "Mother bought it."

  My daughter bought herself a gift again?

  Papa Su picked it up and weighed it.

   Yo, very heavy.

   Not tea.

   Yes, haven't finished drinking the tea brought last time.

  Papa Su opened the box curiously, and found a delicate white jade hair crown inside.

  Papa Su is a rough man. He was a cowherd boy when he was a child, and he became a bully when he grew up. Even in the years of darts, he never wore such a fancy thing.

   "It's not the master of the town, what are you doing with this money... Oh, don't wear it for me, isn't it a waste?"

   My heart hurts, and my eyes are hot.

  Papa Su carefully put away the hair crown, and then went to the kitchen to see the fat girl who had been away for five days.

   Is it an illusion?Why do feel that daughter has become a little thinner recently...

   "Father, you're awake." Su Xiaoxiao greeted.

   "Well, I just woke up." Su Cheng walked over solemnly.

   "Do you still like the hair crown?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

  Su Cheng said: "It's not easy for you to earn some money, why buy that thing? Country people don't like to wear it."

  Country people rarely use wooden hairpins, and wrap their heads with strips of cloth.

  Su Xiaoxiao cut a piece of ginger: "If others have it, my father also has it."

   It was a very calm sentence, as if to say, the weather is really nice today, suitable for picking some Chinese cabbage.

  Su Cheng's heart was burning hot.

   "Daughter..."

   "Don't cry!"

  Su Cheng held back for a second——

  After Su Xiaoxiao finished cutting the ginger slices, he chopped some peppers.

  Su Cheng peeled the garlic for her: "Girl, did you go to Prefecture City this time, did anything happen?"

   "No, it's very good." Su Xiaoxiao heated a pan with oil.

   "Didn't hit anyone?" Papa Su asked.

   "I haven't." Su Xiaoxiao said confidently.

  Papa Su is very relieved that his daughter has grown up and stopped beating others.

   "The two dogs beat me up." Su Xiaoxiao said again.

Father Su was startled: "He, who did he beat up? It can't be that young master from the Futai family, right?"

   "No." Su Xiaoxiao waved his hand, "Then Mr. Li has already beaten him. If he doesn't take the initiative to come to the door, we will not beat him a second time. We are reasonable people!"

  Papa Su murmured: "Then the one who beat me up this time is——"

  Su Xiaoxiaofeng said calmly: "Oh, just one from Capital City, the young master of the Duke's Mansion."

  Boom!

  Papa Su fell down!

——

  Papa Su angrily went to teach his son a lesson.

  As soon as he reached the door, he saw Su Ergou holding a heavy bucket with both hands, getting off the carriage with great difficulty.

   Liu Ping wanted to pick it up, but he refused.

   "There's water here, it's easy to spill out, and the bucket lid doesn't work. I'll do it myself. Brother Liu, step aside."

  Fourteen-year-old with a small body, carrying a bucket heavier than a stone pier, his palms were all red, and the veins on his arms were twitching.

   "Father!" Su Ergou brought two buckets of water down, looked up and saw his own father, and smiled naively, "I brought you mountain spring water from Prefecture City! It's so sweet!"

  Stupid kid, who the hell brought two buckets of water all the way——

  Papa Su's heart swelled and he squeezed his fist.

  ... Forget it, I'll beat you up next time!

  Going to Prefecture City for the past few days, the family’s business hasn’t gone wrong, Xiao Wu’s making dim sum has become more and more handy, and with Xiao Zhao helping her, the output of dim sum has increased all of a sudden.

  The accounts of the family are also handed over to Mrs. Xiao Wu.

  She was doing accounts for the first time, so she used paintings instead of words that she couldn't write.

  Su Xiaoxiao flipped through the pages: "Your accounts are doing well."

   It is very clear that it is not as professional as Su Yuniang, but for beginners, it is very valuable.

   Looking at the number again, Su Xiaoxiao was surprised.

  In the past, if you make 300 pancakes, the net profit can reach more than two taels, plus one tael for the stewed meat business, it will be four taels for a full day, and the higher the number, it will not exceed five taels.

  But what happened in the past few days when she left home?Why did the profit double?

  There are still so many pancakes——

  Su Xiaoxiao snorted: "One hundred Wen?"

   There are several bills, and the wife cake is sold for a hundred yuan each.

  Who is so arrogant?

  Little Wu said in a low voice: "Yes, it's a girl from Yihongyuan."

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "Have they taken a fancy to Li Xiaoyong?"

Li Xiaoyong is indeed a little handsome.

  Xiao Wu said: "No, they came for Uncle Su."

  Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

  ...

  Su Yuniang returned to Xiao Su's house at noon on the second day.

  Su Xiaoxiao originally thought that she went out to "do errands" to avoid suspicion with Father Su. After all, her family members had gone out, and she was the only one at home with her father, so she was afraid of attracting gossip.

   Who would have thought that this little rich woman was really going to do big things.

  In the east room, Su Xiaoxiao is keeping accounts.

  Su Yuniang took a few sips of tea: "I almost broke my legs from running for the past few days, and my saliva was dry, and I was almost exhausted. The emperor paid off, and it really made me find out something."

   "What did you go to check?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

   "The background of the old Su family." Su Yuniang said, "It has something to do with your family."

  Su Yuniang intends to establish her own family. In order to prevent the old Su family from being a hindrance, she wants to grab some handles from the old Su family.

  Originally, I was just trying my luck, but I didn't expect it to be rewarding.

  Su Yuniang suddenly smiled sarcastically: "Do you know how much the jade pendant that my great-grandpa took out was sold for?"

  Su Xiaoxiao took it easy this time: "How much?"

  Su Yuniang stretched out a finger.

  Su Xiaoxiao: "Ten taels?"

  Su Yuniang glared at her: "Does the ancestral jade pendant only sell for twelve taels?"

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "Isn't that a famine year? The market is not good, and pawnshops will lower prices to death."

   These words made Su Yuniang silent, yes, you can sell so much in a famine year, if it wasn’t for a famine year——

  Oh my god, how valuable is that jade pendant!

  She sighed: "That's what I said, but there is never a shortage of good things."

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "One hundred taels?"

  Su Yuniang said: "One thousand taels."

   That was one thousand taels thirty years ago, what a wealth that was, enough to feed the whole family for several lifetimes!

  The old Su family spent less than a hundred taels to help the villagers.

  What kind of shit is eating bran and swallowing vegetables?

   There are nine hundred taels of snowflake silver at home, so can afford to eat bird’s nest every day!

  Thinking of this, Su Yuniang was really disgusted: "I have investigated the selling price and quantity of grain back then, and I have also bought the account book."

If the old Su's family didn't gnaw the chaff and swallow the vegetables, the big guy might not have anything to say. After all, the money he sells himself can be spent as he wants, and it is his freedom to give out how much to help the folks.Act of kindness.

"Old Su's family doesn't do anything about personnel. Now it's a good show, but—" Su Xiaoxiao paused and asked, "You just said that it is related to our Xiaosu's family. What do you mean?"

  Su Yuniang laughed, naturally not at Su Xiaoxiao, but at the brazen old Su family.

  She took out a jade pendant and threw it on the table: "Here."

  The first time Su Xiaoxiao saw the jade pendant, she touched her neck subconsciously. The jade pendant was still there and hadn't fallen off.

   Then she picked it up and looked at it, no, it wasn't her half jade pendant.

  Su Xiaoxiao took out her own jade pendant, put the two pieces together, and the pattern was complete.

   "A pair? Still not right, this texture..." Su Xiaoxiao touched the jade pendant brought back by Su Yuniang, "Is it an imitation?"

   This girl's eyesight is pretty good, but I have been able to discern it for more than an hour.

  Su Yuniang asked, "Does it look like an imitation?"

  Su Xiaoxiao touched the lines on the jade pendant and said: "Like, it is indeed real jade, but the seed water is too tender, is it colored?"

  Su Yuniang was surprised: "You still understand this?"

  Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Let's be so-so."

   I learned a little from Ms. Li in my previous life, but I am not very proficient.

Su Yuniang said: "If I hadn't seen your jade pendant, I would probably have been fooled and bought it back as a real valuable. This is the imitation of the jade pendant that the old Su family pawned back then. The original genuine one is the same as your jade pendant.couple."

"Didn't you say that this jade pendant in your family was picked up by your father when he was a child? My grandfather has seen your jade pendant. If the jade pendant originally belonged to the old Su family, my grandfather's reaction at that time would definitely not be to allow me to let Sanlang take it.Return the jade pendant to you."

   "Besides, in these years, I have never heard from my family that the jade pendant that was sold back then was one of them, and the other one was lost."

  Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that the jade pendant sold by the old Su family was not a family heirloom at all, and it was also an item of unknown origin."

   Picking up other people's things and selling them, and boasting that they are his family's ancestral jade pendant, is really shameless.

  Su Yuniang recalled: "My grandfather's reaction to your family is very strange. I doubt that he knows something."
