The Imperial Concubine Chef - C72

Su Xinyu didn’t have any confidence at all. She believed that the most important thing in her mother’s heart was herself. But in this world, a husband was a woman’s heaven. A woman depended on her existence to survive. She couldn’t be sure that her mother would agree to her proposal. After all, although her mother’s personality had changed a bit, she was still quite confident because she had the ability to earn money. But it is said that changing nature is difficult, and she knows that it is impossible for her mother to change completely.

But she had to be clear. There was one thing she could guarantee, and that was that even if her mother didn’t agree, she wouldn’t do anything to her.

Shangguan Lin had Zheng Liang escort him back to the Western Mountain. Su Xinyu bade farewell to Zheng Liang and followed the road back to the village. She ran out early in the morning and didn’t come home at noon. Although she said that she was going to dig up herbs when she was hungry, he usually came home shortly after noon. When he came back today, the sun was already setting in the west. but they had made Madam Liu and Madam Su extremely worried.

He saw Su Xinyu returning from afar. Only then did the two of them feel relieved. When they got closer to take a closer look, they realized that Su Xinyu had made them look like they were nothing, just mud and dirt. Even the small cloth bag in his arms was black and yellow.

“After entering the courtyard, Madam Su hurriedly checked up and down Su Xinyu’s situation. Aiyo, my young mistress, where did you go to play? How did this happen? “Are you hurt?”

Su Xinyu smiled, “It’s fine. Seventh Grandmother, lock the doors for us, I have something good! ”

When Madam Liu saw his obedient grandson, sshe knew that there must be something good inside. After locking the door, he came back and asked with a smile, “What kind of good thing would let you make a mess of yourself?”

Su Xinyu opened the small cloth bag and whispered, “I found a very big ginseng. I was afraid that it might have run away, but the red rope was still tied to it before it was dug up. Difficult to dig, I was afraid of hurting its roots, so after half a day, I also managed to dig a whole body of soil. But it must be very, very valuable! ”

Seeing the ginseng in the small cloth bag with the child’s arm wiping the length, the mother and son were truly shocked. Madam Liu hurriedly covered the ginseng with her handkerchief. My god, hurry up and bring it inside! “Don’t run away again.”

Su Xinyu was extremely happy in her heart, but she still obediently took the ginseng into the house. In fact, he dug it out of the space last night and wrapped it up. In space, this ginseng belonged to the middle and low level, it had only grown for five years, but there were Spirit Spring s nourishing it, so it looked like an old mountain ginseng that had lived for over a hundred years. The most important thing was that it was sturdy enough, even the roots were much stronger than the ginseng he usually saw.

Looking at the person on the table, Madam Su wanted to touch it, but did not dare. Xinyu, it’s so big, where did you meet it? ”

Su Xinyu laughed: “It’s just behind the Western Mountain, isn’t there a Snail Rock? I found it on the hillside opposite the sleeping Niu Shi. I thought I was wrong, but when I found out it was right, I was ecstatic. Her hands trembled as she tied the red rope. As a result, she slipped and fell. But there’s grass and leaves all over the place, and they don’t fall at all. ”

The Madam Liu thought a little further, “Xinyu, what do you plan to do with the ginseng?” It was impossible to stay in their hands. This thing belongs to the girl. She definitely wouldn’t let it go if it was too precious. However, if it was the little girl and the Madam Su girl, they wouldn’t be able to keep such a large fortune no matter what. It was fine with the others, but wait for Zhou Sanlang to come back. This thing might become a stepping stone for Zhou Sanlang. But in the end, he wasn’t necessarily able to receive the love of the mother and daughter pair from the Madam Su. However, if they wanted to sell, the two of them wouldn’t be able to. Although she didn’t know much about ginseng, she knew it was priceless. Usually, even if he bought a few pieces, he would need a few taels of silver to save lives. However, he still needed to split the money between the year and the few taels of silver.

“I will still have to ask step grandfather for help. But in Seventh Grandmother, this silver was already in his hands. It can’t be in my or my mother’s hands. This is my mother and I’s future retreat. Mother, don’t be angry with me for saying this. You don’t want the money that I painstakingly dug up from ginseng to be given to someone else right? ”

Madam Su actually didn’t think about her own husband at all. Although she had recently prayed every day that her husband would be able to go to high school, she had never imagined what kind of life her husband would have after he became a government official. “Therefore, she didn’t feel anything was wrong with her daughter’s words.” Mother understands what you mean. This ginseng was dug out by you, so the silver is naturally yours. Mother does not care where you use it, nor will she allow you to give it to your father for use. ”

Su Xinyu’s heart was calmer. “At the very least, this can prove that mom no longer views that little girl as her father.” Then I will go find step grandfather right now! ”

“When Doctor Tian saw this person, he was so shocked that the tea in his hands splashed onto the ground. Oh my god! This was truly a rare item. You dug it up at the back of the mountain? ” He had lived here for so many years, so how could he know anything about the mountain? Such a large ginseng could be eighty to ninety years old. How could he miss out on such an opportunity? After all, the place that a girl could go to was definitely not too far away.

“This was found in the ravine.” But I didn’t tell Seventh Grandmother and Mother the exact address. I’m afraid they’re worried. But with the Young Master Wen’s guards, it’s not dangerous at all. ”

“Doctor Tian raised his eyebrows slightly. Xinyu, even if this Young Master Wen is your savior, you shouldn’t get too close with him. ” Although he was not 100% sure of Wen Ling’s identity, he had to remind himself of his darling granddaughter. Having too much contact with someone of that background would not benefit him in any way. It would only lead to all sorts of disasters. Besides, the little girl was getting bigger and bigger every day. It’s not always good to have too much contact with an outsider.

Su Xinyu nodded: “Mn. I know that. Actually, I was wandering around the Western Mountain to begin with, so I met the Young Master Wen’s guards when they were hunting. I said that I was gathering herbs, so he brought me deeper in. However, he was also worried that their young master would know about this, so he didn’t dare to take half of each ginseng. Do you think we can sell it? ”

Although the Doctor Tian did not approve of Su Xinyu taking this risk, the matter had already happened, so he did not say anything more. I can sell this for you. I estimate it to be at least two thousand taels of silver. But how are you going to deal with this silver? Take it back to your mother? “Or …”

Su Xinyu shook his head: “You said it was worth a thousand gold. I will give this to Seventh Grandmother to help him preserve. I hid the rest myself. This money can’t be kept by my mother. “It’s not that I don’t trust mother, it’s just that I’m waiting for father’s matter to come to an end. Whether he comes back or we go over, mother’s silver coins will not last forever.”

Doctor Tian sighed, “I can understand if you trust your father or not. But don’t make your mother feel cold. ”

Su Xinyu laughed: “Don’t worry. I told my mother when I came here. Actually, I don’t want to be separated from my father. But I’ve seen him only a few times in my life. The death of my second uncle, the great auntie, my great uncle and He Li, as well as all the injustice that my mother and I experienced before, and my mother’s need to weave embroidery to earn silver every day, all of these were all because of my father. It’s also because he doesn’t like Mother and me. So I feel very unsafe. ”

Although these words were very piercing to the ears, Doctor Tian was not a member of Zhou Tian’s family, and what Su Xinyu had said was the truth. He could only understand Su Xinyu’s intentions more, so he nodded after hearing it: “I understand. Then leave the ginseng to me. I’ll give you the silver when I sell it. But we won’t be able to sell this one at a good price. I will bring it to Thousand Blessings City and we will set out in a few days. ”

That night, Su Xinyu went to Madam Su’s room to talk with her mother. The Madam Su was naturally happy. This daughter of hers was everywhere good and capable. The only thing that made her sad was that her daughter was too self-reliant and had become sensible very early on. Therefore, he didn’t rely on her. On the contrary, she treated him as her pillar of support. Everything had to be done according to her daughter. Thus, it was rare for her daughter to speak her heart to him. How could she not be happy?

Su Xinyu had only talked about some trifling matters in the beginning, and those that she had seen before finally brought up the topic of Zhou Sanlang. Mother, do you think Father will treat us well in the future? ”

This question made it impossible for Madam Su to answer. “Apart from the fact that she didn’t think about it, it was because she didn’t think that her husband would treat her and her daughter very well either.” “Why do you ask this?”

Su Xinyu sighed: “Because they said so. Once she passed the examinations and became an official, she would be rich, and after that, he would have a concubine. At that time, Mom would no longer be the only one for Dad. I also have younger brothers and sisters, and the little girl is no longer my father’s only child. He didn’t like me in the past, but after he had other children, she didn’t like me any more. ”

Su Wenlan’s heart tightened and her eyes became extremely sore. “Don’t listen to those people’s nonsense.”

Although she could not bear to part with his mother’s heart, she would not let it stand. At this time, Su Xinyu could not soften his heart either: “It’s father who will not accept concubines, and will not bear children with other women?”

Su Wenlan couldn’t lie to herself, and naturally, she couldn’t lie to his daughter either. She thought about how her husband treated him, and then she thought about how his wife treated the two of them. She knew very well that if it weren’t for her daughter, the parents-in-law would never have been so amiable to them right now. Thinking like this, Madam Su’s heart became even more upset, and her tears couldn’t help but roll in circles around her eyes. Even so, you are still my mother’s treasure in her heart. Mother will not let those people bully you. ”

Su Xinyu frowned: “But why should we send ourselves over for them to bully? Mother. I’ll tell you the truth, don’t be angry. You must promise me to listen to my story. “Can I?”

Madam Su saw that his daughter’s expression was extremely serious, as though she had something very important to tell him. She was so distracted that she did not want to cry anymore. She quickly looked at her daughter and said, “Speak.” Mother listens. ”

Su Xinyu sighed: “Mother. I don’t like my father, nor do I like my grandparents, nor do I like my uncle and elder cousin. Other than the Seventh Grandmother, there was nothing to say that could not be heard by others. I don’t like anyone with Zhou Family. I want to leave the Zhou Family and live somewhere else with Mother. “
