Chapter 231 New Year in the Capital
Chapter 231 New Year in the Capital
Su Yunsong brought a total of eight people with him to the capital this time, including coachmen, servants, page boys, and domestic servants, and the configuration was very complete.
She did bring two maids, but they were both old maids over forty years old.
As for the people who served Su Yunsong, Mrs. Su Wang really selected them carefully and kept a close watch on them.
He refused to accept any requests from other women and blocked all paths for maids to climb into his bed.
Fortunately, Su Yunsong is not keen on matters between men and women.
He had looked at the collections of his senior brothers and found that he was not interested in them. He still preferred to study history books rather than pornographic books.
I don’t know why they are so eager to pursue that “Mr. Innocent”.
In his opinion, this person didn't have much literary talent, but the content he described was rather bizarre, different from the traditional narrative method...
At that time, his rational analysis was ridiculed by his senior brothers, who said that he had not even grown all his hair, had never eaten meat, and knew nothing.
The writing style of "Mr. Innocent" is unique, making people feel as if they are in the story and have a stronger sense of substitution.
They are not obsessed with romantic literature, but look at this type of literary works with a critical heart and an academic perspective.
Su Yunsong wanted to say that he was not a fool. Even if his senior brothers found many high-sounding excuses, they could not cover up the fact that they got up early to queue up to buy the erotic novels.
At this time, Mr. Qingbai, who was still writing, walked around several streets and finally found a paper and pen shop that was about to close.
If you ask why Han Zeyu didn't go to Yujia Bookstore for free, of course it was because they were closed for the annual holiday.
After all, there were not many people wandering around the streets on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Han Zeyu was the most idle one among them.
I bought some paper and other things in the shop. When I was checking out, I found a geography book, so I bought one.
There are nine people living in Su Yunsong's courtyard, and there are only four rooms that can accommodate people. To be honest, it is still a bit crowded.
In contrast, only four people live in Han Zeyu's second courtyard house, and there is a sense of ethereality when standing in the yard and talking.
This is a two-courtyard house with a smaller building area. The living area is more than 200 square meters. There are a total of 22 rooms in the front yard and the inner yard.
The neighbors on both sides also have two-courtyard houses, but their areas are larger.
Han Zeyu adheres to the principle that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and asks Su Shien to invite Yunsong to celebrate the New Year together.
Su Shien looked at someone with suspicion, wondering what he was up to.
Han Zeyu punched him back and told people not to look at people with tinted glasses, as this would damage his "great, glorious and correct" image.
Su Yunsong was quite surprised when he received the post from his elder brother.
He sent someone to check a few days ago, and the snow piled up at the gate of the house proved that no one had ever entered.
He thought his brother and sister-in-law would arrive after the New Year, but he didn't expect them to have already arrived.
Su Yunsong brought gifts to the door and found that the snow at the door had disappeared and the yard was also cleaned very cleanly.
He thought his elder brother and sister-in-law had brought many people to Beijing, but he was really shocked when he found out that there were only four of them.
Han Zeyu warmly invited Su Yunsong to spend the New Year here. There were many empty rooms here, so he could bring all his followers with him. It would be more lively with more people.
Su Yunsong is indeed a gentleman of integrity. How could he take advantage of his brother and sister-in-law, so he repeatedly refused.
Su Shien figured out something. It turned out that her husband was like Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong.
It’s no wonder he looks at people with tinted glasses. He has fallen into so many traps that it has become a conditioned reflex.
Since he had discovered the clues, Su Shien had no choice but to become an accomplice and join the lobbying.
"As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. When we leave our hometown and go out, you and I should support each other."
After all, they had worked together once before years ago, and Su Yunsong had a good feeling about him. Besides, he also liked discussing academic matters with his elder brother.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed.
Han Zeyu smiled kindly. "What a good child!" It was rare for the Su family to have such an honest man.
Su Yunsong was left behind, and Han Zeyu asked the driver who followed him to go back and pick him up.
This driver was the same one from three years ago, and Han Zeyu remembered him.
The driver was aware of what he had done, so he was prepared to be treated harshly.
But so far, Han Zeyu has not taken any further action.
His nonchalant attitude made the driver even more nervous.
Back then, Su Wangshi asked the coachman to tamper with the carriage in order to delay Su Shien's future, but her plan was ruined by Han Zeyu.
The driver was considered an accomplice, and he was lucky not to be put in a sack. Now he was being treated as a laborer, and he had no complaints.
This year's celebration was quite lively. One of the old maids was a cook by profession. She had good skills and was very good at making northern dishes.
Mrs. Su Wang was afraid that her son would not be accustomed to the food in the capital, so she specially selected a cook to go to the capital with him.
Originally, these eight people only needed to serve a young master who loved reading, but now they are forced to add two masters, and one of them has particularly many demands.
Except for the two old maids, Han Zeyu assigned tasks to the rest of the people.
Su Yunsong didn't think it was a big deal. His mother had already paid him the monthly allowance, and he didn't need any service, so he might as well let them work for his sister-in-law.
Han Zeyu especially doesn't treat herself as an outsider. They are all servants of the Su family. As the eldest lady, can't she order them around?
The temperature in Beijing is lower than that in my hometown. It is still freezing cold and construction cannot be carried out outdoors.
Han Zeyu said it didn't matter, the project could be adjusted, and there were always more solutions than problems.
What capitalists are best at is exploiting and squeezing labor, especially middle-aged pillars of the family like rickshaw drivers who are in their prime and healthy.
The driver was speechless, for he knew that this man had bad intentions.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but it is always possible for a young man to take revenge.
Besides, it’s good enough that he can wait for you for three years.
Several people were also quite puzzled. What were they doing? Why did it look so strange?
Judging from the length of the wooden beams and boards, it should be used to make a wooden bed, but this bed is a bit too high.
With their half-baked skills, it's hard for the eldest young lady to trust them.
Han Zeyu did not trust them, but was confident in his "bed and desk" sleeping arrangement that he had been doing for four years.
The single beds in their school were so old and dilapidated that I had never heard of anyone's bed collapsing.
Therefore, this invention, which embodies countless wisdom, should have passed through the long river of history and continued to shine in this unknown dynasty.
Even Han Zeyu admires himself for being so forward-looking.
The last time he came to the capital, he realized how difficult it was to live in a big city. It was indeed the capital under the emperor's feet, and every inch of land was worth a lot of money.
Housing prices, land prices, and commodity prices are all ridiculously high. Although their business in their hometown earns considerable income, they are only at the level of middle-level vendors in Beijing.
If you want to live a good life, you have to make money continuously.
But they have no background and no connections in Beijing. It is easy to succeed in starting a business, but it is difficult to keep the family business.
Instead of waiting until after the palace examination to see Su Shien's ranking before deciding how big the business should be, it would be better to make some money first and be a landlord.
Adhering to the idea of preparing for a rainy day, Han Zeyu bought a room full of wood before leaving Beijing in the summer, and now it comes in handy.
We would like to thank Su Wangshi for the kind sponsorship of free labor.
