When they arrived at the village chief's house, there were other people in their family. It was Jiang Sheng, the boy from the Jiang family.
He bought a lot of snacks, invited a matchmaker, and tore off a few feet of red cloth to come to the He family to propose marriage.
When the He family saw Father Su coming, they also warmly invited him to come in and sit down.
"Oh, your family is about to get married!"
Father Su saw this scene and thought that Jiang Sheng was going to marry He Jiaolan, but Jiang Sheng's family conditions were very poor, and he didn't expect the He family to agree.
"Yes, it's just right that you are here. The 25th of this month is a good day. If your family is free, come to our house for a drink ,It's my little daughter Jiao Xing's wedding!"
When he heard that it was He Jiao Xing's wedding, a trace of confusion flashed across Su's father's face, but he quickly concealed it.
Stay out of other people's business and don't ask so many questions.
"Okay, congratulations, the child's mother and I will come to help you then!"
Village Chief He nodded with a smile, pulled Su's father aside and said:
"Old Su, you came here today to ask me for help with something, just tell me, I also know your family is not easy, Dalang is going to take the exam, if you need money, I will find a way for you. "
He subconsciously thought that Father Su was here to borrow money. Under normal circumstances, he should have nothing else to ask him except this matter. It would be better to lend him more. When the time comes, if they can't pay it back, they can only take her Jiaolan to pay off the debt, and then their plan will be logical.
But he didn't think that the Su family's business has been booming recently, how could they be short of money?
After all, he didn't think about how much money the business makes. He also calculated that this trip to Kyoto for the exam would require at least a hundred taels of silver.
After traveling through mountains and rivers, to a place like Kyoto where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, this travel money is not enough to spend, and this trip will take more than half a year!
You have to manage it up and down, and make some local friends in Kyoto, which all cost money.
In order to fight for the position of an official wife for her He Jiaolan, she really gave it her all. They have no sons, only two daughters, and the younger one is born disabled and dumb. The whole family wants to rise to heaven, and all their hopes are placed on He Jiaolan.
"Old He, you misunderstood. I am here to pay you back today. I still owe you fifteen taels of silver, which I have owed for many years. I will pay you back today. Please take some time to come to my house for a drink tomorrow night. I have also invited Old Zhao and Old Chen. Let's have a good time!"
As soon as Su's father explained his purpose, he took out a bag of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket. Village Chief He almost choked on his face.
"Old Su, don't be so polite. I don't know what your family situation is. Don't be in a hurry to pay it back. Take care of your family first. It won't be too late to pay it back when your sons are successful!"
After paying back the silver, you don't owe it anymore. It's too light to want to marry into someone's family just based on some favors.
"Old He, I know you are doing this for my own good, but don't worry, my Dalang's travel expenses for the exam have been collected. My daughter and son have been running a snack business recently, you should have heard about it, and they have made a little bit of money. Our family is not in such a difficult situation now, so I just wanted to return the money to you. It's not easy for everyone, and you have to support the family. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my sister-in-law if you owe me too much money. You see, your family is about to have good things happen, and you also need money!"
Over the years, Village Chief He has acted really well, and Father Su really treats him as a brother, so he doesn't hide anything. But who would have thought that he actually had such a little trick?
If Father Su knew, how disappointed he would be.
"How is it possible? Qinghe County is thousands of miles away from Kyoto. The travel expenses alone will cost a lot of money, and there are also accommodation and meals. When we arrive in Kyoto, we have to find a place to stay. Under the feet of the emperor, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. This trip will take more than half a year, and it will cost at least a hundred taels of money. What kind of business do you have that can make so much money at one time?"
Many poor children went to Kyoto to take the imperial examinations in the spring. Some of them had no money or warm clothes because their families were poor. They traveled a long distance and encountered a cold spring. Many of them died of freezing and starvation on the road.
Therefore, Village Chief He did not believe it. He did not go to understand it specially. He did not know that Su Wan's goat milk soap was also very profitable.
Shaqima, he did not even think about how much profit he could make in a short period of time.
Maybe this is short-sighted!
But if you say he is short-sighted, he is quite thoughtful and has beautiful thoughts.
"I don't know, but it's enough. You can keep the money. Remember to come to drink tomorrow night. Let's have a good chat. Your family has something important to do today, so I won't bother you. I'm leaving first!"
The family was discussing marriage, and it was not good for him, a grown man, to eavesdrop. It was better to go back early.
Village Chief He wanted to stop them, but he couldn't. He was just anxious. Seeing that his face was not right, Dazaohua immediately came to ask him the truth.
After Village Chief He told her, she slapped her thigh anxiously.
"Oh, how can that be? Think of a way!" Her voice was too loud, and all the guests in the room stared at her.
There were relatives from her family, and there were also elders from Jiang Sheng's family who were brought to propose marriage. Village Chief He quickly signaled her to shut up with his eyes.
"Okay, let's talk about it in the evening. Go and greet the guests first!"
Dazaohua was in no mood to care about her little daughter's marriage. Her plan to become the mother-in-law of a scholar-official was about to fall through.
...
After returning home, Su's father informed Su's mother about the He family's wedding and asked her to go to their house two days in advance to help with the chores.
Su Wan also heard it nearby, and she was puzzled.
"Dad, you heard it right, it's the wedding of He Jiaoxing and Jiang Sheng"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, Jiang Sheng brought the matchmaker and his uncle's family, and even pulled up the red cloth. Old He said it himself that it was a marriage with Jiaoxing, but I also wonder why my eldest sister hasn't married yet, but my daughter is so anxious""Jiao Xing is a mute, so it's hard for her to find a husband. I guess it's Sister Zaohua who's anxious!" Mother Su looked at the matter from a woman's perspective.
Hearing this, Su Wan felt that it wasn't that simple, so she told Su's father and mother what happened at the doorstep that day.
The couple was shocked:
"Wan Wan, your aunt really said that!" Mother Su was surprised.
Thirty taels of silver was agreed to marry Jiao Xing to Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng's family is an orphan and a widow. His family is so poor, where can he get thirty taels of silver?
Su Wan nodded. She was close and saw it with her own eyes, so she couldn't have heard it wrong.
"Sister Zaohua does love money, but she wouldn't be so sarcastic. Or maybe, these two children are willing, and the He family has no choice, so they agreed. After all, Jiang Sheng has healthy hands and feet, which is better than marrying a lame bachelor!" Mother Su analyzed silently.
She also dealt with Dazaohua in her early years, and knew her temper to some extent, but she didn't think that people's hearts are separated by their stomachs, and people are not as kind as she thought.
Su Wan curled her lips secretly. She didn't know the reason, but if Dazaohua could give in, it must be because the money was in place.
