Chapter 146 The good wind sent me to the clouds with its strength

Since these concubines heard in the academy that His Majesty had bought hundreds of children with forty catties of millet a long time ago, and these hundreds of children have basically become the mainstay of Lantian now, they are no longer so insistent on their identity as concubines.

The sentence "You are worth forty catties of millet seeds" is not a humiliating or scolding sentence at all in Yushan Academy.

Even gentlemen often use the allusion of forty catties of millet in class to motivate these concubines who have been looked down upon since birth.

Tell them that the status of a concubine is just a big joke, and whether a person is valuable or not has almost nothing to do with his bloodline and origin.

Forty catties of millet can buy people can become high-ranking officials in the country, and those of you who have lived in wealthy families since childhood, isn't it natural for you to do something in the future?

The son of a rich family is never a fool.

They can tell what is a lie and what is the truth.

When these inspirational words are based on real facts, they will naturally think seriously about their future.

Yangzhou businessmen representatives Sun Yuanda, Yang Wenhua, and Feng Tong are also quite knowledgeable figures.

It's easy for them to find that their submissive concubine has changed a lot.

The most obvious is that the temperament has changed dramatically.

At least when talking to him, I have the courage to look him in the eye.

In the past, in order to fight for the right to eat at the main table, this concubine tried all his means, and did not hesitate to call Sun Yuanda's wife from the eldest mother to the mother without dignity.

But the mother who gave birth to him and raised him was called aunt.

It's different now, this guy has no interest in eating at the main table, even if he hides in the kitchen with his mother and sister-in-law, he is willing to eat, the mother and son talk and laugh, and the atmosphere is even better than eating at the main table.

Sun Yuanda naturally knew that unless his son had a higher pursuit, it would not be the case.

Seeing that his concubine Sun Ting put a piece of chicken in his sister's bowl, ate some vegetables by himself, and could tell his mother about what he had seen and heard about Yushan Academy, Sun Yuanda sighed, felt that it was not good to go in, and turned to leave.

"Brother, you said that women can also enter Yushan Academy to study?"

Sun Ting said with a smile: "Naturally, there are many women studying in Yushan Academy, as long as they can be admitted to the lower courtyard of Yushan Academy before the age of twelve, they can enter Yushan Academy to study."

It's that the next days will be very hard, a small test in half a year, a big test in a year, not only to learn literature, but also to practice martial arts, some strong women can even compete with men in the year-end competition.

After studying in the lower house for five years, you have to pass the examination to enter the upper house to continue your studies, and students who are not admitted to the upper house still have two years of make-up exams.

You can enter the workshop, the crafting, the shop, the caravan to learn some other crafts as soon as possible, in short, there will be a good future. ”

Sun Ting's sister-in-law looked at her brother and said, "I want to go." ”

Sun Ting's mother hurriedly said, "Your father doesn't allow you to show up." ”

Sun Ting waved his hand and said: "You can go if you want, Xiao'e is talented and intelligent, and she is better than me in reading, but the exam of Yushan Academy is not only the four books and five classics, but also arithmetic, astronomy, geography, and history books, these things are Xiao'e's weaknesses."

Mother, with the money my family gave me, I could invite a female classmate from Yushan Academy, who was a work-study student, to teach Xiao'e these knowledge. ”

Sun Ting's mother was a little embarrassed and said, "Your father, ...... with the eldest mother."

Sun Ting lowered his head and said in a low voice: "As long as Xiao'e enters Yushan Academy, she will immediately rush to Ningxia Yushan Academy to study, whether it is her father or her mother, it is impossible to interfere with Xiao'e's future."

If, if he can be admitted to the upper courtyard of Yushan Academy, even if his father sees Xiao'e, he needs to be respectful.

So, that's it, and the matter of the female gentleman is left to me. ”

Sun Ting's mother looked at her son and sighed: "My mother wants to save more money for you, and you can rely on this money to get ahead in the future, your sister is a woman after all." ”

Sun Ting didn't say a word, and put a chopstick dish into his sister's rice bowl, poured the vegetable soup into the rice, devoured it, and went straight to the study.

When Sun Yuanda entered the concubine's small study, Sun Ting was sweating and sorting out a stack of account books, with an abacus in one hand and a record in the other, and the little sister was next to him to help him report the numbers, and the calculation was very fast.

Seeing that the girl put down the account book in her hand, Sun Yuanda coughed and walked into the study.

Seeing his father come in, Sun Ting and his sister-in-law greeted their father together, and the brother and sister stood together and prepared to listen to their father's lecture.

Sun Yuanda looked through the account book prepared by Sun Ting, and after reading a few articles, he said: "So, the county lord handed over the errand of recruiting craftsmen and minfu to you?" ”

Sun Ting bowed down and said: "Mengxian Zun took a fancy to him, and handed over the recruitment, money and food, and supervision to the child. ”

Sun Yuanda rolled his eyelids and looked at Sun Tingdao: "Can you be busy alone?" ”

Sun Ting's heart chuckled, and he hurriedly said: "What the county lord said is good, if young people want to achieve great things, they can't treat themselves too seriously, and only by suffering what others can't bear and being burdened by others can't be able to achieve something." ”

Sun Yuanda coughed and said: "Tomorrow, you go to the county to quit your errand, let your eldest brother go, you go to Yangzhou, and I will hand over the six shops to you to take care of." ”

Sun Ting looked into his father's eyes and said, "Father, with all due respect, it's not a good thing for the eldest brother to go, but a way to die." ”

Sun Yuanda was not surprised by Sun Ting's reply, and said coldly: "Do you think you are better than your eldest brother?" ”

Sun Ting said in a low voice: "The child has only been under the command of the county for two months, and in these two months, the child has not learned anything else, the first thing he learned is to know that the Lantian Imperial Court has strict laws.

Especially related to the fundamental event of the railway, as long as you make a mistake, there is basically no possibility of forgiveness.

In the Lantian Imperial Court, the child can clearly say that there is no such possibility.

My eldest brother is poetic, drunk, coarse, righteous and squandering, and likes to make friends, which are all taboos. ”

Sun Yuanda looked at his concubine, sighed again, and said: "My father didn't expect this result, if I had known today, I should have sent your eldest brother to serve under the county honor."

Son, you are also a descendant of the Sun family, and you should understand the truth that we will lose and prosper.

The reason why the Lantian Imperial Court would let their father do this evil was because they had considerations.

Have you ever thought about the purposeful dismantling of our family and the distraction of our forces? ”

Sun Ting nodded and said: "The county zun has already said very clearly, this is the reason why he treated his father harshly in the early stage, his purpose is to divide the Sun family and dismantle the behemoth of the Sun family." ”

Sun Yuanda nodded and said: "It seems that Lantian still has some rules for doing things, I'd rather be a real villain than a hypocrite, they are going to fight against us, we must not let them get their wish." ”

Sun Ting shook his head and said, "Father, do we really have the strength to fight against the imperial court?" People did not use force to advance this matter in Yangzhou, which is already extrajudicial.

Now, Lantian County Zun has a big grudge against our Yangzhou businessmen.

Today's Lantian County Zun is the eldest disciple of His Majesty the Emperor, and the only disciple, if the child is not mistaken, he will become the minister of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later.

The power was far greater than my father had ever expected.

If we continue to be enemies of the Lantian Imperial Court everywhere, we may have the disaster of annihilation, please think twice. ”

Sun Yuanda closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, without saying anything, and left the small study.

Seeing his father leave, Sun Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and then stuffed a new account book to his sister and said, "Keep reading, we must finish sorting out all these account books tonight." ”

Xiao'e said worriedly: "Father's face is ugly. ”

Sun Ting sneered and said, "Don't get in the way, my father will figure it out, okay, I'm ready, you can read." ”

After a while, Xiao'e's crisp voice sounded in the study, mixed with the crackling sound of abacus beads, which was extremely lively.

Sun Yuanda returned to the inner house, and the original partner Liu asked, "Has Brother Ting ever agreed?" ”

Sun Yuanda shook his head and said: "It's useless for him to promise or not, it's Lantian County Zun who wants to break up our family." ”

Liu hurriedly said: "Could it be that I watched Brother Ting'er, the son of the concubine, take away thirty percent of my Sun's money and grain?" ”

Sun Yuanda glanced at Liu lightly and said, "Don't forget, Brother Ting is also my son." ”

"Then, what about Brother Yao?"

Sun Yuanda looked at the original partner and said, "Isn't the seventy percent family business enough for him to toss?" ”

"The concubine is worried that Sancheng's family business will not be able to fill Tingge'er's belly."

Sun Yuanda shook his head and said: "The knife handle is held in the hands of others, whether it is good or bad, from this month onwards, the Liang family's share is on par with yours, the maids and servants of the configuration are complete, and Brother Ting'er's share is the same as Brother Yao'er, two long followers, one scholar, moved to the West Cross Courtyard."

The example of the girl and the phoenix girl is average, two maids, and a mother-in-law cannot be missing. ”

Liu Shi was stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, are you going to spoil your concubine and kill your wife?" ”

Sun Yuanda glanced at the Liu family and said, "The Liang family is one year older than you, and you say that the favored concubine is not laughed at by others?" You stupid woman, why can't you see the situation clearly?

Over the years, you have also been a virtuous person, you have not treated Brother Ting'er harshly, as for the Liang family, she is a concubine herself, she has suffered some hardships, and it is also the rules that should be there, this is your current capital.

If you send these at this time, Ting'er may still be grateful to you.

It's late, and I'm worried that people won't like it. ”

Liu cried when he heard this.

Sun Yuanda looked at the gloomy sky and whispered: "The way of the world has changed, it has become more ruthless than that time, more thorough than any time, the old man only wants to survive this disaster, so that my descendants of the Sun family will continue to be extinct." ”
