The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 195 Huaping’s Day

Early the next morning, Hua Ping, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared at Su's house. Su Sanlang screamed in surprise, rushed over and hung on Hua Ping excitedly, "Master, I miss you so much."

Having been with the Su family for six or seven years, Hua Ping also missed the young boy. He reached out to catch him, held his butt, and asked with a kind smile: "Have you practiced seriously? If I ask later, Master Jiang, he said you didn’t practice seriously, so I’m going to spank you.”

A ten-year-old boy is naughty. When he is serious, he is really serious, but when he is not serious, he is also quite naughty. Su Ganzhi smiled guiltily, hugged Hua Ping's neck and acted coquettishly, "Master, I must be serious. , you just came back, take a rest first." After that, when Hua Ping wasn't paying attention, he slipped down and ran away.

 Huaping:…

Smelly boy, if it weren't for the master, I would have to see my future wife, and I would definitely not be able to escape from eating bamboo shoots in my **** today.

Jiang Youzhao, the master Hua Ping introduced last year, saw him and they punched each other, "When did you come back?"

"Just came back." Hua Ping did not say the specific time, but vaguely said, "How is A-Gump's usual behavior?"

 Jiang Youzhao smiled back: "It's pretty good."

"That's good." Hua Ping chatted with him again, and finally said, "I have something to do today. I'll treat you to a drink when I have time."

"good."

Su Ruojin packed up and told Cheng Yingzhen, "Mom, if you can't make it back in time in the afternoon, I'll stay one night and then come back. Don't worry."

Cheng Yingzhen is worried about her daughter being a young lady. Every time she goes out, she always tells her not to stay out overnight. "Just come back as soon as you can. Otherwise, you won't be able to see you until your father comes back from work in the evening." Talk about it all night."

 “Okay, I’ll come back as soon as possible.”

If Hua Ping hadn't gone with him, Su Ruojin would definitely have been able to return to Beijing in time, but with Hua Ping, that wasn't necessarily the case. The two had to be given time to get in touch.

Su Ruojin took advantage of the cool morning and went out with the three girls. Hua Ping waved away with Master Su Sanlang and didn't arrive at Su Ji's morning tea shop on Wenshan Street until noon.

It is said to be a morning tea shop. At noon, there were many people in the shop. They ate the morning tea as lunch and chatted while eating. On the side of the mountain, the mountain breeze blew in, which was cool and pleasant. Many middle-aged and elderly customers could not bear to leave the morning tea. Shop and treat this place as a place of entertainment.

 In order to prevent guests from lingering for no time, Suji Morning Tea Shop stipulates that the breakfast time for each table of guests must not exceed half an hour (one hour in modern time) at the latest, and charges two taels per half-quarter of an hour.

The cost is really not low, but those who can come to the morning tea shop to kill time are rich and free people, who don't care about the few taels of silver. Many people pay the delay fee before coming to the table, which gives Su Ruojin a headache, so he has to After expanding the morning tea room, the Su family has long since moved out and no longer lives here.

The Su family is not short of money now. They bought a piece of land nearby and rebuilt a small courtyard. It can be used as a place to stay when the shop patrol cannot return to the city in time. It can also be used as an auxiliary courtyard. They can cool off in the summer and watch the snow in the winter. The Su family can be considered among the ranks of the small middle class. .

The Shi family also moved out of their shop. They did not buy land. Instead, someone nearby sold a small courtyard house. Shi Er bought it. The Shi family finally had their own home and their life was more promising.

 A year ago, Shi Da married the daughter of Li Zheng from the village at the foot of Dongshan Mountain, and now he is also helping in the shop.

The east and west courtyards are all vacant, and Suji Morning Tea Shop is very big. Each room is turned into a private room. Each private room is decorated according to the theme. It is simple and elegant. It is simply a Yashe culture, whether it is on the mountainside Dongshan Academy is also the owner and shopkeeper of a pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop on Wenshan Street. Even Beijing and Chinese literati like to run here to eat, meet friends, and do business. return.

After getting off the carriage, the sharp-eyed Shi Erlang hurriedly greeted him, "My dear boss, I know you are coming. Lunch has been prepared and is waiting for you to come and serve it."

Su Ruojin nodded, "Where is Shopkeeper Ye?"

Ever since Zhao Lan admitted that Ye Huaizhen was from the Detective Department, Ye Huaizhen no longer hid in front of Su Ruojin. When he had free time, he either took advantage of procurement opportunities to check for information, sent the news to the Detective Department, or looked for murderers. Father's enemy.

Thinking of this, Su Ruojin suddenly stopped and looked up at the huge morning tea shop. Could it be that Zhao Lan had already thought of this step five years ago? Use the breakfast shop to find out information?

How did he know that she would expand the breakfast shop into a morning tea shop?

How old was he at that time? He was only fourteen or fifteen years old. How could he be so powerful at such a young age?

Su Ruojin felt that she still underestimated the power of the children of rich families, and secretly hissed, this guy will not sell himself, so he should count the money for him! From now on, I'd better try to be respectful and avoid it.

“When I returned to my little boss’s house, I ordered a batch of red dates from the shop. Someone from the North and South Grocery Store asked shopkeeper Ye to pick them up. He won’t be back for a while.”

Su Ruojin glanced at Huaping.

 He said, "I'll go over and have a look."

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "I heard that the mushroom soup in the small restaurant next to Nanbei Grocery Store is very delicious. Why not try it?"

Hua Ping looked away from her and said, "Hurry up and settle your debt." After saying that, he pretended to be mature and steady and left.

Su Ruojin pursed her lips and smiled.

Hua Ping pretended that he didn't hear it, but his seemingly steady steps were much faster. He thought to himself, Madam Su Er, don't laugh at me. Wait until you fall in love one day and fall in love with someone, and see how I laugh at you.

snort!

Shi Xiaoer led Su Ruojin into the shop, and she waved her hand, "Go and eat when you need to, and do whatever you need to do. Let Sister Mao Ya take care of the rest."

 “Yes, little boss.”

Shi Xiaoer glanced at Mao Ya quickly, then bowed and left to do his own business.

Qiuyue saw the look he gave him before he left and remained calm. She followed Su Ruojin into the main office. They had a dusty journey and washed themselves. It was a bumpy ride. She was indeed hungry and she didn't want to wait for anyone anymore. She and the three girls Had lunch together.

 After eating, I drank a cup of tea and started checking the accounts.

I kept checking until about three o'clock in the afternoon before finishing. I stretched a lot and said, "Sister Qiuyue, are Uncle Huaping and Shopkeeper Ye back?"

Qiuyue glanced outside and couldn't help but smile: "They came back after you had dinner."

Su Ruojin's eyes widened: "Isn't it that Uncle Hua went to look for Sister Ye, and Sister Ye came back?"

Qiuyue nodded: "Yeah."

 Sister Ye is not giving Uncle Hua a chance! Tsk tsk!

 “Have they eaten?”

"Um."

Without stretching, Su Ruojin asked Chunxiao to clean up the account books. She quickly left the main office and arrived at the front hall. At a glance, she saw Ye Huaizhen cleaning up the counter and Huaping sitting beside him, sorting out the account books or ordering food for her. Raise money.

　　People stood together, but not a word was said.

How can we talk about this love?

 At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the customers in the morning tea shop were leaving one after another, and there was almost no one around.

Su Ruojin was about to move a stool and sit down to eat melon.

 The last two guests came out and saw her. One of them smiled and said, "Su Xiaodong's house—"

 “Dr. Su——”

Su Ruojin smiled half-heartedly and returned the favor unceremoniously.

Su Xiangheng raised his head and laughed, "Ah Jin is still so unreasonable and unforgiving."

 Ah Jin...A Jin...are we familiar with you? Su Ruojin almost couldn't help rolling her eyes, but she held it back for the sake of the customer being God, "Shopkeeper Ye, his membership fee will be due in two days, remind him not to forget to renew."

Su Xiangheng pointed at her, looking like she didn't know what to say.

Su Ruojin gave a fake smile and said, "Welcome to visit next time."

“I think you are driving away guests, Su Xiaodong’s family.”

 “I don’t dare.”

Shangguanyu, who was standing behind Su Xiangheng, smiled slightly at the bickering duo. He was really in poor health. He had been out for too long today and was exhausted. He couldn't help but cough.

 Coughing doesn’t stop.

 Akiyama quickly supported his master and found a stool for him to rest.

Shi Xiaosan, who was cleaning up the lobby, quickly handed over a stool and asked people to sit down.

Qiu Shan held Shangguan Yu with one hand and patted his back with the other hand to relieve his cough.

　　But when he started coughing, he could stop easily. Everyone looked at him anxiously.

Su Ruojin seemed to have thought of something, and quickly asked someone to bring a wet handkerchief to Shangguanyu and put it in front of his nose. This method seemed to work. After a while, he finally calmed down and stopped coughing. The cough just now made the veins on my forehead pop out.

 At a young age, Shangguanyu suffered from many diseases.

Many people suspected that he had tuberculosis and would drive people away when they saw him coughing. Later, Su Yanzu asked people from the Tai Hospital to see him and found out that he had a cough. It was similar to chronic bronchitis, but more serious than tracheitis. It seemed to be due to malnutrition. , The sequelae of physical weakness and illness are difficult to cure. Not only that, you can only live with it if you cannot work hard for a lifetime, which is commonly known as the disease of wealth.

If Shangguanyu had the conditions, there would be no problem if he was rich and raised, but he was also a strong man and did not want Su Yanzu to raise him. The boy beside him was bought by Su Yanzu and placed next to him. Su Yanzu originally provided the monthly money, so he didn't Ken, since he employs people, of course he will do it.

While he supported himself by selling calligraphy and painting, he regained his family business and started a Shu brocade business. Of course, he didn't know how to make Shu brocade. Instead, he served as a matchmaker for businessmen from Jinguan City and received commissions from them, which was equivalent to a tooth man.

It's just that he only started this business in the past two years, so he doesn't have many customers, and he can't drink wine to entertain customers. Fortunately, there is a morning tea shop like Su Ji, where he can make business just by drinking tea. So now, he It’s considered self-sufficient and living a good life.

Shangguanyu was surprised, "Second Lady, why can a wet cloth help me stop coughing?"

Su Ruojin shook her head, "I don't know." In fact, she couldn't explain it clearly, so she couldn't say. I suspect you are allergic to pollen or some kind of powder, and you want to reduce the dust through humidity.

If you say it, someone will definitely ask, what is an allergy? What did she say?

 One more thing is worse than one less thing. Anyway, I don’t know if I ask.

Shangguanyu smiled and thanked her, and asked Su Erniang to sit at his house at the foot of the mountain if she had time.

Su Ruojin smiled and said we would talk about it when we have time.

 After a while, Su and Shangguan left one after another.

The shop was finally quiet. Shi Er's family was used to being busy with cleaning and tidying up. They took their helpers and their mother-in-law to clean up the huge breakfast shop. By the time they finished cleaning up, it was already completely dark.

 At dinner, Hua Ping sat next to Ye Huaizhen. The two sat very close to each other, but they looked far apart.

Su Ruojin looked worried for Uncle Hua Ping. When will he be able to marry his lovely wife? It seemed like she had been here all afternoon in vain.

 After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Shi took their two big yellow dogs to visit Su Ji's shop. There were also two skilled guards in the shop. One of them was on duty at midnight and the other at midnight to guard Su Ji's morning tea shop.

Su Ruojin returned to the other courtyard and did not take off her clothes even after washing. Instead, she put on her robe and quietly came to where Sister Ye lived. She hid behind the pillars of the corridor and saw Huaping standing in the corridor with a look of deep silence on her face.

Mother!

 From one day’s perspective, Uncle Hua Ping doesn’t know how to chase girls! He obviously looks like a master in love, but he is so dull and ghost-like.

 It’s really unbearable!

Su Ruojin rolled her eyes and coughed deliberately: "Uncle Hua, do you still have any leftover benzoin you gave to Sister Ye? I can't sleep in another bed."

Huaping, who was hiding in the shadows, was called out by Su Ruojin.

Huaping didn't send the things out at all. When he heard the little lady yelling for no reason, he almost covered the little lady's mouth in a hurry.

Su Ruojin pretended not to see his anxious look, and said to the closed door, "Uncle Hua, you are really good. When you have a future wife, you forget about your little boss. Why is my life so miserable? I can light benzoin even if I want to." Less than…”

She still wanted to show off, but the door creaked open.

Ye Huaizhen folded his arms and leaned against the door frame, watching Su Ruojin's performance with interest on his face.

Su Ruojin: ...Why does it feel like looking at a monkey, but I am just a monkey?

 Benzoin not only has a refreshing fragrance, but also has the effects of refreshing and relieving fatigue, repelling mosquitoes and diseases, removing filth and heat, increasing appetite and promoting sleep. There is a poem that praises: "It is said to be the best fragrance in the world, but the scent of musk deer is not enough. Adding a meal breaks the dullness and refreshes the mind. It removes filth and insects and cools down the heat."

 It is a specialty of South Vietnam and the price is very high.

　Why do you feel that your assist failed? Su Ruojin suddenly felt that Uncle Hua Ping's road to chasing his wife was long and far away. Forget it, she decided not to get involved.

walked up to Uncle Hua Ping and stretched out his hand:

"what?"

 “What do you think?”

Huaping finally came to his senses and took out the benzoin from his sleeve.

Su Ruojin took it, walked to Ye Huaizhen, took her hand down and put it on it, "Huaizhen, I heard that you don't sleep well. This is the benzoin I brought you in Jiangnan. I heard it has miraculous effects. Tonight Give it a try, if it doesn’t work, I’ll rush south for 800 miles to find the merchant and beat him to pieces.”

 Huaping:…

 Ye Huaizhen:…

Chunxiao and Qiuyue couldn't help it anymore. They lowered their heads, covered their mouths and laughed. The laughter was still obvious in the quiet night.

These frivolous love words made Hua Pinglei's skin burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and she was aroused, "Su Erniang, what are you doing?"

 “If you can’t speak, I’ll help you!”

 “You stinky girl, you’re looking for a beating, right?” This was not what he wanted to say. It really **** him off. He smiled awkwardly at Ye Huaizhen, “Second Lady, she…she…has good intentions…”

 Ye Huaizhen seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Huaping laughed even more uncontrollably. He was afraid of being rejected, "I'm going to find this stinky girl." After saying that, he pinched his nose and went after Su Ruojin with a guilty conscience.
