Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Not only Mr. Su came, but also Mrs. Su. However, Mrs. Su was slower than Mr. Su. Mr. Su entered the yard before Mrs. Su arrived at the door.

It was a rare occasion for the two of them to come home, so Li Yu immediately arranged for Fang's mother to make tea and Han Xiaomei to get some snacks, while she took everyone to sit in the house.

"Don't be busy, sit down and talk." Madam Su pulled Li Yu to sit down, "I have something to talk to you about today."

At this point, Madam Su tilted her head and said slowly, "Little Li, are you eighteen this year?"

Li Yu vaguely guessed her intention, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, "It's eighteen."

She traveled through time on the third day of September in the eighth year of Tianyuan. At that time, her original body was fifteen years old. Today is the ninth day of September, exactly three years and six days.

I didn’t think much of it before, but now when I think about it, I feel that the three years passed very quickly and were gone in the blink of an eye.

Madam Su nodded at Mr. Su, "He knows about you. You are not an easy person. You raised Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei by doing business."

"I don't feel tired at all." Li Yu said, "I like doing business and I also like cooking."

"You are a good child." Mrs. Su sighed and suddenly changed the subject: "Do you want to get married again in the future?"

Without waiting for Li Yu to answer, she continued, "We are all family, just tell me what you think directly."

Since she said so, Li Yu said without hesitation: "If it is based on my current thoughts, I haven't thought about it. I think this life is pretty good and I don't want to change it."

Madam Su: "I understand. Okay, then everything will be fine today."

Mr. Su: “…” He thought his wife was going to give him some advice, but he didn’t expect it to end like this.

However, Li Yatou is not someone who can be persuaded. She has many ideas. She must have made the decision not to get married after careful consideration. It would be a waste of words to persuade her. It is better to respect her wishes.

If she wants to get married in the future, they can help her find a suitable person.

Fang's mother brought the tea over. Li Yu poured a cup for each of them and said slowly, "Madam, did you want to be a matchmaker for me just now?"

Madam Su did not hide it from her and said, "Yes, Old Su and I went to Guiyuan's mansion today. Guiyuan's wife Xinming told me that there is a cousin in her family who went to the hot pot restaurant to eat a few times and has some thoughts about you, so she asked her to ask you.

Xinming was embarrassed to come, so she asked me to help ask you what you meant.

Since you don't want to get married again, there's no need to talk about this matter anymore, and you don't have to take it to heart."

Li Yu liked her attitude very much and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam. Please help me reply to Sister Xinming."

The Double Ninth Festival is a very important festival. Li Yu asked Mr. and Mrs. Su to stay at home at noon and she cooked for them herself.

Mr. Su hadn't eaten her cooking for a while and gladly accepted the invitation.

Madam Su glared at him fiercely, "You only know how to eat all day long, and you don't know how to help. Li Yu, don't make all the food he likes."

Mr. Su avoided her and turned his head to instruct Li Yu, "Put more chili in the boiled fish. I saw you bought pig intestines. Do you want to make dry-fried pig intestines? Put more chili in this dish as well."

Mrs. Su: “…”

Li Yu looked at the couple bickering and couldn't help laughing.

*

Everyone was in high spirits, and when dinner was about to start, Madam Mu hurried into the yard.

Today Li Yu asked her to help him buy spices, but he didn't expect her to come back so soon.

Madam Mu met Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, bowed to them, then looked at Li Yu and said, "Master, I just came back from outside and heard someone say that something big happened in the court today. His Majesty has given titles to several princes."

Mr. Su, who was sitting in the corridor reading Han Zheng's recent article, suddenly looked up and asked, "What did you say?"

Madam Mu repeated her words.

"Do you know which princes were given titles and what they were given?" Mr. Su put down the paper, looking anxious.

Madam Mu: "I heard that the third prince was named King Hui, the fourth prince was named King Cheng, and the sixth prince was named King Kang."

Mr. Su sat down slowly.

Emperor Tianyuan has many sons, but the only one who has reached adulthood (twenty years old in ancient times) is the Sixth Prince.

Among them, the second prince and the fifth prince died young. As for the remaining four, except for the crown prince, Emperor Tianyuan had been reluctant to give titles to them. Unexpectedly, he conferred titles on three of them at once today.

It's really strange, and I don't know what he is thinking.

If the Third Prince is allowed to become a prince, he will behave even more outrageously in the future, and the Crown Prince's life will be even more difficult.

Mr. Su was worried and was less motivated to eat than before.

Madam Su winked at Li Yu, "Look at him, he always says that the court has nothing to do with him, but when something happens, he is more worried than anyone else."

Li Yu smiled lightly, "Mr. Su is concerned about the country and the people. He is a role model for students all over the world."

But to be honest, she was also a little worried.

The princes of the Dayu Dynasty had more power than the princes. Once he was crowned king, the third prince would become even more arrogant.

She knew that the An Wang Mansion, the Ding Guo Mansion where Qi Yue was, and Mr. Su's family were basically on the side of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince lost in the future, the Third Prince would ascend the throne...

Mr. Su was concerned about state affairs, so he stopped drinking tea after dinner and left quickly.

Mrs. Su did not leave. She talked with Li Yu for another quarter of an hour before leaving.

Before leaving, Madam Su thought of another thing, "I know you've always wanted to buy a few more guards. I happen to know two suitable ones. If you want to buy some, I'll go back and arrange it for you."

When Li Yu heard the guard, he said, "That's what I need. If Madam has time tomorrow, I would like to take a look tomorrow."

Madam Su: "Then come to see me at the mansion tomorrow afternoon."

Li Yu nodded.

The news that the prince was conferred the title of prince also spread throughout the capital that day.

Because except for the crown prince, other princes of the Dayu Dynasty could leave the palace and build their own palaces after they turned fifteen, so it was not so troublesome for them to be crowned kings. All they had to do was replace the plaque of the prince's palace with the plaque of the king's palace. When Li Yu heard about it for the first time, he found it incredible, but it was indeed the case.

When the prince is crowned king, there will be a grand banquet, and all officials in the capital will have to go to congratulate him. Even if Li Yu doesn't like the third prince, now King Hui, as long as Han Zheng is an official in the court, he must send him off.

Li Yu pondered for a while, took out a pen and paper, and began to write down what he could give as a gift.

Now she had a lot of savings, but she could only give King Hui an ordinary amount, not too bad nor too good, preferably something inconspicuous.

As for King Cheng and King Kang, they can be the same as the third prince...King Hui.

In the evening, Han Zheng returned and Li Yu showed him the names of several gifts that she had written.

The two discussed for a while and finally decided to give the inkstone as a gift.

It would not go wrong and it was in line with Han Zheng's identity as an official in the Hanlin Academy.

"I'll go to various stores tomorrow and pick out something similar." Li Yu put the paper back on the table and looked at Han Zheng and said, "The political situation in the court has changed. You must be more careful in the Hanlin Academy and pay attention to the people in the Third Prince's party."

Han Zheng: "I know, don't worry, sister-in-law."

*

Li Yu arranged everything in an orderly manner. The next morning, she selected three identical inkstones. In the afternoon, she went to Su Mansion. She wanted to see the two guards.

However, as soon as she got on the carriage and went out, someone stopped her.
