The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 168 is here

On the second day, the morning light was dim.

The mountain mist floats on Wenshan Street, lingering like a misty long silk floating in the middle of the street. Walking in it is like walking on the clouds. The heat from the fireworks at Su Kee's shop diluted the fog and opened a path for people who got up early to have breakfast.

The morning tea opening ceremony is exactly at the right time, which is eight o'clock in later generations. If there is a clock, Su Ruojin can be accurate to eight o'clock eight minutes and eight seconds. Unfortunately, it can only be counted to eight o'clock by pressing the funnel, but it does not affect the sale of steamed buns and shaomai in front of the shop. Waiting, people passing by saw the roll-up banner placed in front of Su Ji's shop, which said that the new morning tea shop would open at eight o'clock, welcome to visit, and get a 50% discount.

Some curious people stayed and gathered around, eating breakfast and watching the excitement.

Unconsciously, the sun climbed up the hillside, jumped into the sky, broke through the clouds, and glowed brightly. Seeing that the good time was coming, Su Ruojin, Ye Huaizhen, and Shu Tong were as busy as little bees coming in and out.

The shop reopened, and Su Ruojin didn't invite anyone except her own family, so she didn't want to wait for anyone. When her family members all stood at the door, Shu Tongshu and the Shi brothers were about to light firecrackers, but were stopped by Siping.

"Wait a moment, the little prince will be here soon."

Zhao Lan knew the whole process of reopening the shop. After all, his manager Siping came to help almost every day, so Su Ruojin didn't find it strange that he could come, so he didn't light the firecrackers yet.

Zhao Lan didn’t arrive, but when he arrived, he saw Su Yanzu coming from the street.

Su Ruojin leaned close to her father and asked in a low voice: "My uncle also asked for leave today?"

Su Yanli shook his head, "He doesn't need to ask for leave."

“Huh?” She thought to herself, isn’t Xiu Mu today? Is my brother-in-law so awesome that he can enter and exit the Imperial College at will?

“After the New Year, your brother-in-law will not go to the Imperial College.”

Su Ruojin was even more shocked, "He won't take the imperial examination?"

Su Yanli didn't know, "I heard that I'm taking care of my family's business in the capital."

Grandpa and grandma looked away when it was cheap? No more forcing him to take the imperial examination? For some reason, Su Ruojin remembered the articles about tyrants that she had read before. Those tyrants who came home to inherit the family business only returned home under certain conditions. Could it be that the uncle also had conditions for returning home?

Of course, at this moment, Su Ruojin couldn't think about this anymore, because she saw her uncle Su Yanzu bringing a young man about the same age as him. He was obviously wearing an old linen robe, the most ordinary dress, and even looked pale and sickly, but None of this seems to affect his detached and clean scholarly temperament.

There is a sense of elegance and handsomeness that is not as graceful as his. It is really full of poetry and painting, which is amazing!

Su Ruojin raised his head and asked, "Dad, who is this person?"

 It turns out that the rumors are true. His brother-in-law is really as good as Long Yang. Su Yanli has a dark face. Even though he is his favorite daughter, he can't reply.

Su Ruojin was shocked as she had never seen her father's face like this before... She didn't expect her guess to come true.

 People of later generations think that the ancients were very orthodox and had nothing in common with them. But in fact, the good things about Long Yang and the habit of cutting sleeves are all idioms that came out from ancient times. People think that orthodoxy is after the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng Dynasty in the Song Dynasty.

 Before the Song Dynasty, both Longyang's kindness and masculinity were actually very popular, especially in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which reached their peak.

If it is true love, although Su Ruojin cannot accept this, she can put aside differences and respect other people's choices, but if she is as masculine as a **** from a wealthy aristocracy, she will spurn Su Yanzu.

The two came hand in hand to greet the glow. One was handsome with straight features and picturesque eyebrows; the other was handsome with melancholy, gentle and elegant; both of them had fluttering clothes and full of fairy spirit, just like the immortals in the painting, they were simply graceful. dazzling everyone's eyes.

Probably because he was surrounded by everyone's eyes, the melancholy young man looked uneasy and turned to look at Su Yanli. His brother-in-law also turned his head and smiled at him, his eyes gentle and lingering, filled with endless affection.

Su Yan turned his head politely.

Cheng Yingzhen was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to look.

 Everyone pretended not to understand what Cheng Yingzhen was saying.

Only Su Ruojin was the most convinced. As expected, he was a cool and unrestrained uncle who had his own way of doing things. She probably guessed why he came home to inherit the family business. It must be because of his blue-faced confidant.

well! What a waste of genes... what a waste of two handsome guys who can't become other people's husbands...

 Su Ruojin hadn’t finished feeling emotional in her heart. Su Yanzu and the young man came forward and congratulated Su Ji on reopening. “I wish A Jin a prosperous business and abundant financial resources.”

 “Thank you, uncle.”

Su Yanzu smiled and introduced her, "My dear friend, Shangguanyu."

 “Hello, Uncle Shangguan.”

Shangguanyu was facing Shaobai's family for some reason, but he didn't expect that the young lady had already asked them. He responded slightly, "Second lady, you're welcome."

After greetings, just when Zhao Lan's carriage arrived and Siping hurriedly greeted it.

Su Yanli and his family also came up to greet him.

He ignored his brother-in-law from beginning to end. For some reason, although he hated his original family, he felt that Su Yanzu's life should not be like this. It was such a pity.

Zhao Lan usually only has one carriage when he travels. For some reason, two carriages came today. Did he bring a carriage with gifts? When Su Ruojin was wondering, Zhao Lan jumped out of the carriage and smiled at her. She smiled back. Just when he was about to say hello, he turned around and walked to the carriage behind, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and revealed a breathtakingly fine white flawless He put his hand on Zhao Lan's arm, and then the girl who came down from the other side put her other hand on her.

Princess Yuehua stepped off the carriage stool.

 The princess is here!

 She didn’t invite him! Suddenly, the pressure in Su Ruojin's heart increased sharply, and she followed her father and quickly stepped forward to salute, "I have met Her Highness the Princess!"

Yuehua's face was pale and expressionless. She looked past Su Yanli's family and looked at the two young men following behind. They were bowing and saluting.

When the eldest girl saw the sick man, she glared with anger and wanted to eat him. Su Ruojin was so frightened that she followed the gazes of the master and servant and looked back, landing on his brother-in-law and Shangguanyu.

 Here comes, everyone comes!

Su Ruojin’s scalp was numb. Today was the opening of Su Ji’s morning tea shop. How did these three people meet together? It’s really…

Su Ruojin had no idea what happened this year or what was going on in Beijing. Su Yanli didn't bring a word of it home.

Zhao Lan's eyes were so cold that he could kill. The moment the young lady looked at him, she quickly switched to the gentle channel like a Sichuan opera, smiled slightly, and stepped forward, "Ajin, I wish you a prosperous business and make money every day when you open your new store." ”

 “Thank you to the little prince for your support all the way. I will keep it in my heart.”

Zhao Lan smiled and asked, "The auspicious time has come."

“That’s right, we’re just waiting for the little prince!” Su Ruojin waved away the inexplicable awkward atmosphere, quickly heated up the opening atmosphere, turned around and shouted, “Uncle Shutong, let’s start.”

 “Okay.”

Zhao Lan and his aunt Princess Yuehua stood in the lobby. A group of maids stood guard at the door, and the popularity of the opening instantly increased.

When Shu Tong saw that the nobles were all standing, he asked the three Shi brothers to light the firecrackers and start lighting firecrackers. Suddenly, Wenshan Street was filled with the sound of firecrackers. The sound floated upward and was heard even in Dongshan Academy.

Su Xiangheng was on his way down the mountain with a group of colleagues. He smiled and said, "It's a step too late."

All colleagues laughed and said, "We are here, we must have just received guests."

"Too."

The firecrackers were set off after nearly half an hour, and all the shopkeepers and clerks who could come to Wenshan Street came to join in the fun. They only waited for the beautiful female shopkeeper Su Ji to say: "Everyone can go in and have morning tea."

 Excited and curious people filed in.

Since the princess arrived, the second room was given to her. Everyone lined up in the first room or crowded in the former lobby. In March, it was not too cold when the sun came out in the morning, so Su Ruojin asked people to use all the spare tables and chairs. Take it out and place it at the door.

 It was full of diners inside and outside.

Although Bianjing City is the most prosperous and wealthy place in Dayin, for ordinary or middle-class people, it is almost impossible for everyone to have access to exquisite morning tea. Everyone was shocked when they looked at the expensive order sheets. If the owner's house was opening for business today and there were no nobles present, someone might have started scolding him right away, but they held it back and they didn't dare to cause trouble.

Su Xiangheng took the lead in ordering a set meal.

　　Two tall, slender and delicate female waiters came out pushing a trolley. From the trolley, they brought out every kind of exquisite refreshments that were astonishing, as well as tea sets that were so exquisite that you couldn't help but touch them.

Someone couldn’t help but sigh: “No wonder it’s expensive. Just looking at these small cages, sauce dishes, and plates, each one is so delicately decorated with gold and flowers that you can’t bear to move your chopsticks, not to mention the Mingqian tea that smells so fragrant.”

 It’s really worth the money.

The food was brought to the table, like a threshold. Some people touched their noses and automatically went to the door to buy a basket of buns and left.

Those who stayed were the shopkeepers, bosses or the masters of Dongshan Academy. They had money and leisure. They sat at the table and chatted while eating. During the chat, the shopkeepers and bosses recommended unique books or famous paintings to the masters. It was like a cultural feast to discuss the value of unique copies and the genres of famous paintings.

Unknowingly, Suji Morning Tea Shop has become a gathering place for literati, or a place for them to make friends, or a place where certain works of art are traded. In short, Wenshan Street, which sells cultural products, has become more prosperous. Many people come here because of its reputation, and it has become a popular place for literati to check in.

After the automatic filtering, the shop that was obviously full of people became quiet. Everyone ate politely and talked elegantly. Suji Morning Tea instantly became an elegant place.

I won’t tell you what happened next. Su Ruojin could finally sit down and take a breath, and then she remembered to ask, "How about my dad's place in the second private room?"

Mao Ya replied, "My lord has returned to the backyard a long time ago. The princess does not want your company, so she only keeps Mr. Su and Mr. Shangguan as her companions."

 Three people in one room? Su Ruojin was surprised and asked quickly: "What about Prince Zhao?"

"The little prince saw that you were busy and took a rest in your steward's room."

 “Let’s serve tea to the little prince.”

Mao Yatou nodded, "Sisters Chunxiao and Qiuyue are waiting for me personally."

Then she would be relieved.

 When he was free, his mind became empty, and Su Ruojin's heart of gossip ignited unknowingly. Wouldn't the three of them start fighting in a room without the little prince in charge?
