Chapter 277 The book is banned
The next day at noon, Su He and Liu Bai returned to Su's house.
Before she even walked in, Su He heard the voices of Wang Zhi and Wang Liang, and only then did she realize that the sound insulation of this house was so poor.
"Cousin, please add some more firewood. Steam it quickly. I'm starving."
Su He walked in and saw that they were steaming buns in the kitchen.
"Sister Lotus, Brother Xiaobai, you are back. Brother Bin just came back and went to sleep smelling stinky. Brother Bai, your bed has been stinked up by Brother Bin."
When Wang Liang saw Su He and the others coming home, he ran over to complain, but was ruthlessly exposed by Wang Zhi.
"Brother Bai, Liangzi has smelly feet. Your quilt was made smelly by him yesterday."
Wang Liang's face suddenly turned red, and he let out a strange cry and turned around to hit Wang Zhi.
"You're talking nonsense. You drooled while sleeping yesterday, and Brother Bai's quilt was covered with your saliva. Do you dare to deny it? I saw the yellow marks on the quilt."
Su He burst out laughing, Liu Bai sighed helplessly, turned to Su He and said.
"You go and rest first. I'll see if they bought any food."
Liu Bai was worried about the cooking skills of these two boys and wanted to go into the kitchen to check.
"Okay, Wang Zhi and Wang Liang, after dinner you two go wash the quilts. No one can escape."
Su He and the other person were each given fifty lashes of the cane, and then they went to the well to fetch water to wash their hands. After washing, she did not go to rest, but took out the government office rules and recited them.
I haven't completed my tasks in the past few days, so I'll take this opportunity to memorize more today.
Liu Bai went into the kitchen and quickly arranged today's dishes.
"Make some bacon fried with peas, and some pork fried with peppers. Then we'll have some pork ribs and winter melon soup. Ah Zhi, go cut the winter melon. Liang Zi, you add the firewood. Speed it up. Let's not cook rice, let's just eat steamed buns."
Su He turned his head and saw his two younger brothers working honestly. He smiled and continued to recite.
"Article 5: The chief constable will lead the speech at noon every day. We will take a break at noon and go back to work at noon.
.....
Article 10: When the yamen officers go out to handle cases, they must dress neatly, smile, and enthusiastically answer the questions of the people.
Su He recited each one silently, and had memorized five before lunch.
"Sister, do you want to call me Brother Bing?"
Wang Zhi saw that the food was ready and wanted to call Wang Bin to get up.
"You go and have a look. Forget it if he's too tired. We can save some for him and just heat it up when we eat."
Su He touched her rumbling stomach, picked up a hot steamed bun and started eating.
"Liangzi, how is the Zhou Mansion doing now?"
"We saw it this morning when we went to pick up Brother Bin. Sister Hehua, you would never have guessed it. The Zhou Mansion is gone."
Wang Liang happily served himself a big bowl of pork rib soup.
"Gone!?"
Su He doubted her ears. Was it what she thought it meant?
"This soup is delicious, Brother Bai, I didn't expect you to have such skills."
“Sister Hehua, the Zhou Mansion is now an empty space. Brother Bin said he won’t eat anymore and will get up after he has had enough sleep.”
Wang Zhi ran over and said, "The master said there are no cases recently. Brother Dali and his family are getting married. We can report to the government office in three days."
"I heard that they found gold again, so the higher-ups simply ordered the whole place to be razed to the ground, and several hundred soldiers were stationed there."
"Lotus Festival, are we going to give this gold to Magistrate Ge?"
Wang Liang was extremely envious because Magistrate Ge was so rich.
"No, it will be sent to the capital and handed over to the national treasury. All the money obtained from the confiscation of property will be handed over to the national treasury."
Liu Bai took out a bowl and left some food for Wang Bin, and explained to him what Wang Liang said.
"The soundproofing in this house is too poor, so please be careful with some of the topics you talk about."
Su He thought of Xiaozhong reminding her about the neighbor's report, and quickly reminded her loud-mouthed brother.
"Since we can rest, let's go back to the village early. We can use our two carriages to buy more food. We are also inviting Grandpa Dacheng and his family to have a feast and stay for a few days. Let's buy some snacks."
When Wang Zhi heard about buying food, he quickly made a suggestion.
"Sister, I want to buy some sour preserved fruits. My sister-in-law said she still wants to eat sour fruits this time."
Su He looked at Wang Zhi in surprise. She didn't expect that this boy was so sensible.
"Okay, I'll buy more. You and Liangzi go order rice and flour, a monthly supply for our village. This time, order 20 kilograms of millet. Then go buy some wine, a regular kilograms. When you're done, go play and come back for dinner."
"I'll buy some preserved fruits and cakes, and Xiaobai will buy some meat."
Su He thought about buying the food first and setting off back to the village early tomorrow morning.
"Pay a 50 tael deposit at the rice shop, and the rest will be paid upon delivery."
Su He took out a purse and handed it to Wang Zhi, which contained one hundred taels of silver.
"The cheapest bulk liquor is 2 taels per pound. We bought a lot, so see if you can lower the price."
When Wang Zhi heard the price, he couldn't help complaining.
"Sister Lotus, this is not as good as the rice wine you made before."
Su He thought of the pepper flowers in the space and thought that he could continue to make some for himself to drink, and then sell them at the tea stall.
"I'll find the time to do it. There's no other way this time, so I'll have to spend money."
"Then I'll order a few hundred kilograms of glutinous rice later!"
Wang Zhi put away the silver and decided to buy 300 kilograms of round glutinous rice.
The four of them agreed not to take a nap and go out shopping together.
Four people and two carriages moved in pairs.
"Lotus, we have already ordered pork from the butcher Jin, and we have also bought chickens, ducks, and fish from Wuyu Village. I will go with you to buy cakes."
Su He smiled embarrassedly, "Look at my brain, I have forgotten everything. Let's buy some cakes and go back."
"I heard that the new storyteller at Mingyue Restaurant is quite amazing. Do you want to go and have a listen?"
storytelling?
Su He thought about the storybooks she was selling and it would be a good idea to understand the market conditions.
"Okay, let's go and have a look."
So the two of them spent half an hour buying snacks and went to the restaurant.
This time point happens to be the first game in the afternoon.
The storyteller on the stage was already in place, and Su He and Liu Bai chose the seats at the back.
"Last time we talked about this, Yu Niang wanted to divorce the butcher's second son..."
Su He covered her mouth and laughed, Oh my God, isn't this the storybook she wrote?
Su He curiously observed the reactions of the people around him. Every listener he looked at had a focused expression.
When they heard the exciting parts, some people even threw coins onto the stage, and some even threw silver bars. Su He was so excited that she wanted to be a storyteller. She was sure she could tell a better story than this person.
Half an hour later, the story came to the part where Yu Niang developed double-sided embroidery.
"We will know tomorrow how Yu Niang will face her family members who come to visit her again."
The storyteller was about to go downstairs after finishing his story when he heard someone asking him about Huang Chuner's book New Life.
"I can't tell you about this. I heard that this book was banned by some big shot."
The storyteller didn’t dare to say why it was banned and just stepped down from the stage.
What, her first book was banned?
Su He's eyes went dark, and she didn't know if it was too late to go to Zhao's house.
"Do you want to go to the Zhao residence? It's very close from here, just a quarter of an hour."
Liu Bai also knew about the storybook, so when he saw Su He's serious expression, he suggested that she get to the bottom of it.
"go with!"
Half an hour later, Su He sat in the inner room, listening to Chen and Zhang's mother scolding the Minister of War for being stupid.
"The man their eldest daughter married is called Li Mingsheng. When she heard what we said, she said we were targeting her. The Minister of War is also unreasonable. He even warned our eldest son that we are not allowed to sell it."
"Robber, I don't think he will be able to hold this position for long."
Mother Zhang also started cursing. It doesn't make sense to cut off someone's source of income just because his name on the storybook matched yours.
