Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 94 The Upstart

After Mr. Zheng left, the peace in the city was restored, but for the Su family, it was not peaceful at all.

The Su family attached itself to Mr. Zheng, and Mr. Zheng also promised the Su family a large ship of goods to go to sea for trade. The news spread far and wide, all over the city, and even spread to the countryside.

The Yang family in the western outskirts of the city, the old man of the Yang family asked the descendants below, "What is the origin of this Su family? Is it an upstart who just emerged recently?" For a hundred years, the two great families have maintained a balance, and there are other With the rise of small families and small households, the Gu family and the Yang family never felt in trouble, and passed away with a smile.

The children and grandchildren who are being questioned look at me and I look at you. They look at each other and cannot answer. They don’t know this Su family, and they haven’t even heard of it. The Su family is like mushrooms after the rain. The one who popped up unexpectedly clings to Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng, the old man of the Yang family has never met Mr. Zheng, but Mr. Zheng's prestige is as loud as thunder. It seems that the good story of "looking around everywhere" will soon be broken.

The old man of the Yang family slowly withdrew his thoughts, and ordered with a serious face, "Go and find out the origin of this Su family."

Master Yang asked in a low voice, "Are we going to associate with this Su family in the future?"

"It goes without saying." The old man of the Yang family glared at the old man of the Yang family, hating his son for not being able to live up to expectations. If he had noticed the signs of the Su family's rise earlier, their Yang family would not have been so passive.

Grandpa Yang responded in a daze, and the children and grandchildren below dispersed one after another.

In the "Fushoutang" where the old lady of the Gu family lived in the eastern suburbs, not long after she got up, she was being served by the servants and maids who were serving her for breakfast, millet porridge, silver rolls, quicksand bags, yam and jujube cake... There was a dazzling array of beautiful things on display. A table is full.

Mrs. Gu was getting old and couldn't eat greasy food in the morning, so she asked the servant girl below to bring a bowl of light millet porridge, and she was feeding and drinking the porridge spoon by spoon.

The wives and young ladies at home came to say hello with singing and jingling rings.

Mrs. Gu saw Mrs. Gu's Mrs. Peng standing below, and beckoned someone to come closer and ask, "Daughter-in-law, you often walk around the city. Has there been a Su family in the city recently?"

"Su family?" Peng thought for a while, but didn't think of it for a long time. She seldom pays attention to those small households whose muddy legs have not been washed, and they are not worthy of her attention. Hearing the word Su family , She actually thought about it for a long time but didn't remember it.

"Forget it, it's useless to ask you." Mrs. Gu was a little annoyed, and turned her head to ask the second Mrs. Peng behind.

Mrs. Peng held the veil in her hand, walked forward, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I only heard about this Su family recently. This Su family is the Su Ju family on the long street in the middle of the city. Su Juren works as a teacher in Yushan Academy, and his family runs a small porcelain shop to make a living, and usually looks inconspicuous."

Mrs. Gu said, there are too many such small families. In the eyes of the Gu family, the Gu family would not even look at them. Can such a family be favored by Mr. Zheng?

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Peng Er didn't understand, "There are so many big merchants with rich families in the city, Mr. Zheng only promised this Su family, the other merchants didn't even meet, and I don't know why."

Mrs. Peng just remembered the Su family when she stood there. She felt funny and annoyed. She met Mrs. Su at the banquet at the Governor's Mansion, and she mocked Mrs. Su for wearing a horse-faced skirt that was still the same as last year. , It's obviously not long, why did the Su family get up?Really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

"This Mrs. Su, I met at the banquet at the ambassador's mansion. Mrs. Su suffers from autumn cough all year round. I heard that she recovered after taking the medicine prepared by Mr. Zheng's Royal Physician. "Peng said with some helplessness, "The Su family first made friends with Royal Physician Wang, and through the relationship of Royal Physician Wang, they made friends with Mr. Zheng."

Mrs. Gu waved her hand unhappily and asked the maids below to remove the breakfast, and said to Peng meaningfully, "Boss daughter-in-law, let you go to the city to participate in the banquet in the city, and socialize with the officials, wives and wives in the city. I really put my mind on eating and drinking, the Gu family has a big business, what is missing for you to eat and drink?"

Peng's face turned pale, and he was very angry. Who knew that this humble Su family would be able to cling to Mr. Zheng.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu asked sensitively, "Then this time our Gu family's banquet, do you want to post a post to invite the Su family?"

Every autumn, the Gu family holds an annual autumn banquet according to the usual practice. The autumn banquet has nothing to do with birthday banquets, wedding banquets and full moon banquets. It is just eating, drinking and having fun. It is relatively relaxed and there are not so many rules. It is just a few children of the Gu family who participated in the autumn banquet this year. All fell off the list, and the clansmen didn't have the mind to make a big deal.

Mrs. Gu solemnly nodded to Mrs. Gu, "Of course, you should pay close attention to the Su family's post, and send the housekeeper to deliver it in person, so that you don't lose it."

Mrs. Gu stood on the side and obediently responded yes.

Mrs. Gu suddenly thought of Miss Jiu, and asked Mrs. Peng why Miss Jiu hadn't come back after going to her grandmother's house for so long.

"Grandmother loves Miss Jiu very much, and wants to keep her for a few more days, and come back after the Double Ninth Festival." Mrs. Peng replied with a pale face and lowered eyes.

"Send someone to bring Miss Jiu back in the past two days. Our Gu family's banquet is coming soon." After Mrs. Gu finished her order, she looked at Mrs. Peng, thought for a while, and said, "This time, you are responsible for organizing the banquet." Don't worry about it, leave it to the second daughter-in-law, let the other things go for now, and the important thing is to organize this banquet well."

The Gu family's banquet was watched by people with a radius of a hundred li.

The butler of the Gu family personally delivered the post to the Su family.

Mrs. Wang was picking vegetables in the backyard, and when she received a red and gilded post from the Gu family, Mrs. Wang was at a loss, and her first reaction was whether it was the wrong delivery. The Gu family, a family member who lives in the eastern suburbs, knows everyone, but the Su family There has been no contact with the Gu family for 800 years, how did the Gu family send the post to the Su family.

Mrs. Wang was illiterate, so she took the post to the West Wing for Su Yue to read.

Su Yue was immersed in reading medical books in the room, and thought it was a post for her from Miss Gu Jiu, inviting her to Gu's house to play, took the post, and looked at it seriously, "It is indeed a post for our family."

In the past, the Gu family would not even look at the Su family. How could they post a post to the Su family? Su Yong knew that the Su family had borrowed Master Zheng's good name and power. She was walking on the street recently, It felt like others saw her differently.In the past, when others saw her, they would be amazed by her beauty, but there was contempt and contempt in their eyes. Now, she can clearly feel the envy and jealousy in others' eyes, and of course hatred.

The Su family has benefited a lot from Mr. Zheng's good reputation, and now people outside dare not look down on the Su family.
