The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 110 Preparing for the marriage

When you enter the small courtyard rented by the Su family, it is somewhat similar to the courtyard house of later generations. When you enter the courtyard gate, there is a small patio between the wing room on the left and the front wall. This is where mules are kept and the carriages are kept. In order to isolate the mule smell, there is a small patio on the top of the wing room. The door is usually closed, and is opened only when the mule cart is used or when the mule is fed.

Going north along the corridor of the left wing, there are five rooms in sequence. Last year, there were many workers in the house, so they were all occupied. This year, Dashi and the others have all moved into the shop. Except for Shu Tongshu, the other four small rooms are empty.

Turning around the corridor on the left, there is a small patio connected to the main courtyard. There are no vegetables planted here, and a clothesline is pulled out. This is where the Su Ruojin family hangs their clothes and quilts, and where the children play.

Walking along the corridor, there are Su Yanli's study, the couple's master bedroom, a small wing, the main hall, Su Dalang's brother's bedroom, and Su Ruojin's bedroom. They all face north and south, with plenty of light and good ventilation. They are the main courtyard of the small courtyard.

Turning along the corridor, there is a small patio connecting the main courtyard and the right wing. The small patio here is different from the one connected to the left wing. Two small hoods extend out from the edge of the main courtyard. Mao Ya now lives there. With Li Xiuzhu.

Don't look at the two lofts, and turn along the corridor. The rooms on the right are the dining room, kitchen, utility room, workshop, and the Su family's storage room.

Although once you enter the courtyard, there are many functions and rooms, so you can bring your family and servants to live there. This is why Su Ruojin chose to rent this courtyard.

It's really sad to say that although I'm making a lot of money now, I really don't have the chance to buy a yard like this. Besides, on the one hand, this yard seems to bring good luck. Since the Su family moved in, their daily life has not only been smoother than before, No matter what business you do, everything goes smoothly.

Su Ruojin really doesn’t want to move at this stage. Besides, with breakfast and dinner as a backing, the Su family has a fixed real estate, and they are not in a hurry to buy a big yard at the moment. Such a small yard can be used to gather energy.

Sitting in the corridor, she had a clear view from any angle. Whether it was popularity, luck or wealth, she was reluctant to move.

So when Shu married his uncle 2 years ago, he was given two small rooms nearby based on the one he lived in. One room was for him to keep his belongings, and the other room was for him and his wife to use as a side room.

"Uncle Shutong, don't be too young. When my brother gets older, we will buy a large courtyard with two entrances and two exits. Then we will give you a separate small courtyard so that you can raise your children without having to worry about it."

This is definitely not a big deal. Shutong believed what Er Niangzi said and nodded with a smile, "Listen to Er Niangzi, whatever you say will be whatever. Anyway, I will be your long-term follower in this life."

Su Ruojin smiled and shook her head, "No, no, you are the chief steward of our Su family."

 When he heard this, Shu Tong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Anyway, in this life, he and the Su family share weal and woe, and depend on each other for life and death.

It was about to enter the twelfth lunar month, and the large furniture, quilts, boxes and cages for Shu Tong's wedding had been bought. After driving a mule cart out, small furniture such as buckets and washbasins were complete. Finally, longan and longan were used to make the bed. Su Ruojin didn't understand such trivial things as red dates, but Cheng Yingzhen was married before, so she still remembered them, so she made a list, and Shu Tong ran out with Su Ruojin.

It's not that Su Ruojin is a good little master, it's just that she's just having fun and went shopping in the capital to buy wedding supplies.

If you don't have money, or you are a penny-pincher, you have to shop around for everything you want to buy. Su Ruojin is a person who has money but is penny-pincher and is not prepared to spend money on these longan and red dates. He will buy them when he sees something similar.

The things were ready in a short while, and there was still a lot of time left, so she refused to let Shutong go back. "I have never been to the capital in my whole life. How about we take this opportunity to go shopping?"

As soon as he bought something, Shutong thought about going to Lu's house and quietly telling Lu Dani that he wanted to go shopping, but the little master wanted to go shopping, so Shutong could only suppress his excitement about becoming a husband and go shopping with the little master!

 Walking past the imperial court and strolling around East and West Square, Su Ruojin felt hungry at noon. Su Ruojin waved her hand and said, "At noon today, let's go to Fengle Building."

Oh my god, the second lady must be crazy, she actually dares to go to Fengle Tower.

Shutong quickly stopped him, "My second wife, maybe your father has never been to Fengle Tower before. How dare you." "If you don't dare, it's not because you don't have money."

"Hey!" Shutong blocked Su Ruojin from getting off the mule cart, "My second wife, I'm afraid of being kicked out of this mule cart."

Su Ruojin: ...Look at my big green mule, it’s really possible!

But Fengle Tower, which she has coveted for a long time, is the first restaurant in the Yin Dynasty. Does she still want to go in and see its splendor? How come...

Fengle Building, which stands outside Donghua Gate, has five floors facing each other, each with a flying bridge and sills, connecting light and darkness. Even in later generations, restaurants with five floors facing each other are rare. As for "flying bridges and railings, connecting light and darkness", What comes to mind is paradise on earth.

Of course, Su Ruojin did not come to see the fairyland on earth, but for the unique perspective of Fengle Building. When you go up to the highest floor of this building, you can overlook the Dayin Palace.

 The royal palace! Su Ruojin was very curious. Even if she could go in, given her status, she would probably only be able to have the simplest lunch in the lobby, so forget it!

 “Let’s go, Uncle Shutong.” It’s more serious to find a small restaurant to fill your stomach.

Just when the mule cart was about to start, someone ran over and said, "Guanshi Su—"

Shutong was surprised to meet the servant of King Zhao Xiaojun, "Shuang Guanshi, why are you here?"

Shuangrui looked towards the carriage behind him and said nothing, everyone understood.

Su Ruojin also saw Prince Zhao’s carriage. She just wondered, “Shouldn’t your master be in the Imperial College at this time?”

Shuangrui smiled and asked instead, "Su Erniang came here..."

Fengle Tower is not a place where ordinary women come, let alone a seven-year-old young lady.

 “Let’s eat!” she replied casually.

 Shuangrui: ...I saw you were preparing to leave, so I still said something tough.

But he could only pretend to know nothing and said with a smile, "My young master just wants to go in for lunch. If it's convenient for Mrs. Su..."

 Should it be convenient or inconvenient for her?

Zhao Lan was waiting in the carriage. After a while, Shuang Rui came over and reported back, "Back to you, young master. Madam Su, thank you for your kindness. If you have anything else to do, I will leave first."

Zhao Lan looked through the car window at Su Ruojin, who was smiling, and saw her waving to him, and the mule cart disappeared from his sight after a while.

He obviously wanted to go in, but said he had to leave first. Zhao Lan could feel that Dr. Su's daughter did not like to deal with him. She lowered her eyelids, lifted her robe and got out of the carriage. Santai came over quickly, "Young Master, Prince Wei has arrived."

 Zhao Lan strode into Fengle Building.

On the street, Shu Tong asked, "Second Lady, you obviously want to go, why don't you go in with Prince Zhao?"
