Chapter 227 Greetings
Chapter 227 Greetings
The dinner lasted until late at night and everyone was very happy.
Although the house was spacious, it couldn't hold up to the large number of people from the Su family, not to mention Sun Liangyuan and a small group of people from Tieniu Village. The room was quite tight.
Su Linhua still slept in the same room with Su Chengnan. They lay on the bed, each covered with their own quilt, and chatted. Su Chengnan was still worried about everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and couldn't sleep at all.
"Eldest sister, don't think too much. Let's just take things one by one. We've already reached Ningguta. How can we starve to death or freeze to death? It's okay."
"Of course I'm not worried about this most basic survival need. I'm thinking about other things."
"Then what are you thinking about?" Su Linhua turned around and looked at her.
"Do you still remember what the mission in the space said?" Su Chengnan said helplessly.
"What did it say? It told us to... protect Ningguta." Su Linhua jumped up at this point and sat up, hugging the quilt. "Yes! Protect Ningguta! What should we do? That's all it said, and the space didn't explain anything else. How can we protect it?"
Su Chengnan reached out and pulled her down, "Hurry up and lie down, don't catch a cold. I'm just thinking about it."
"Have you thought about it?"
"No, let's go out tomorrow and take a look at what Ningguta is like. After we find out what's for sale in the city, we can make plans."
"Will it be too late?"
"One day is not too bad. The houses we have at home are not big enough. When the time comes, there will be a lot of things to do and it will be troublesome if I don't get enough rest."
Su Chengnan turned over, lying flat on his back, and continued, "I want to convert the room into a dormitory with bunk beds, and then eat all three meals a day in the cafeteria, just like in a factory. I'll focus on the carpentry workshop first and fix up any repairs that need to be made in the house."
"Good idea. Leave the canteen business to me first, and then let Uncle Fu go out and look for a suitable shop. Since we have already agreed on cooperation with Uncle Li, we must open this shop."
"That's a must! When the soldiers sent by Li Shibo to escort us returned today, I asked them to take two carts of food and fodder back with them, and also gave them some silver. I hope that Beiling will be peaceful in the near future."
Su Linhua was quiet for a while, and just when Su Chengnan was about to fall asleep, she suddenly spoke: "In a week at most, I will be able to sort out everything in the cafeteria. What else can I do by then? Otherwise, I will lead these people in my family to practice martial arts?"
Su Chengnan said dazedly, "The shop will probably open in a week. I'll be busy then."
Su Linhua curled her lips, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
……
the next day.
Uncle Fu and Nanny Han brought a few capable people from the family to pay their respects to the two of them.
Su Chengnan sat upright in the main seat, looked at them and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it directly."
Uncle Fu bowed and said, "Miss, etiquette cannot be abandoned. I thought we should rehearse the etiquette with the servants in the next few days. You and the Second Miss must have people to serve you. In addition to Chunyu and Nianqiu, do you want to add a few more people?"
Su Chengnan didn't say anything, but glanced at Nanny Han.
Nanny Han took a step forward and said, "Uncle Fu is right. I also think this rule cannot be abolished."
Su Chengnan curled her lips and said slowly, "Then according to your opinion, what should we two sisters do?"
Uncle Fu and Nanny Han exchanged a glance and said, "Young Miss, you can leave some of your matters to the young masters. This place is very complicated, so it would be more convenient for men to travel outside."
"Is this what you all mean?"
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chengnan slammed his hand on the table, "Have you forgotten my identity? As the head of the family, I even dare to go to the battlefield. Can't I go out?"
Everyone knelt on the ground in unison, not daring to breathe.
Su Chengnan didn't want to let it go easily.
"Uncle Fu, I didn't say much yesterday because we were moving to a new house, but today you are really going too far!"
"My dear Miss, I have come here because you have worked so hard on this journey. We are going to settle down in Ningguta in the future, and you will get married in the future. If you keep going in and out with secret guards, who knows what outsiders will say. I am considering you and the Su family."
"Yes, Miss! There was nothing we could do while we were on the road, but now that we have a house and a home, the Su family's rules of so many years cannot be abolished! The Second Miss is also the legitimate daughter, how can she run to the kitchen at every turn? This is not the behavior of a lady from a noble family."
"Ladies, please think twice and seriously consider our suggestions."
"Please think twice, ladies."
The attitude of these people is simply forcing the two of them.
Su Linhua's reaction was even more pronounced than Su Chengnan's. "Don't think you can morally blackmail us just like that. Besides, we haven't done anything so difficult to criticize that you could use the moral high ground to accuse us! Don't you think that if it weren't for my eldest sister's mediation along the way and the dedicated protection of the secret guards, we wouldn't even be able to make it here alive. And you're still criticizing us now?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're planning. Not to mention that my brother is still young, even if he were my age, if he didn't have the real talent to protect the family, he wouldn't be able to rely on his status as the legitimate son to manage the household. Don't forget, it was my father who said that my eldest sister was the head of the family!"
Nanny Han had a look of disappointment, and her eyes revealed a strong sense of strangeness. "Second Miss, how can you say that? He's your own brother."
"So what if he's my younger brother? He has to grow up and become more capable first."
"Second Miss! What kind of drug have you taken?..."
Nanny Han was practically in tears, Uncle Fu's expression was indescribable, Chunyu kept his head down, and only Nianqiu looked bewildered. As for the other young servants standing behind, they, like Chunyu, kept their foreheads pressed to the ground, never daring to look up.
Su Linhua was about to argue, but Su Chengnan held down her hand and stopped her.
"Okay, I don't care whether you think this way yourself or are instigated by someone. Anyway, I am the head of the family now, and all arrangements must be made by me. In the future, I can give you the opportunity to express your opinions, but if you have substantive and constructive opinions about our behavior rather than the development of the Su family, then please don't say anything more."
"Miss! You..."
"Uncle Fu, I'm thinking of you as my father's elder, and I don't want to abandon you now that you've served your purpose! There are still many things here that need you to do. If you get tired and confused, there are many young people in the family who want to seize opportunities. You should think carefully about this. Can you really gain a foothold in Ningguta with just this house?"
"You should know clearly whether to listen to me or to these two young boys..."
