The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

   Chapter 133 What to do

People in the capital generally have a sense of superiority that except for me, who is from the city, the rest of the country is from the countryside. Cheng Yingzhen does not have such a feeling, mainly because she has been living in oppression before marriage, and after marriage, she almost stayed at home because of social fear. She didn't socialize with others at home, and Su Yanli didn't like making friends. She didn't have more opportunities to contact the outside world, so she wasn't affected by this aura.

But when she saw the Su family, she was still shocked. They were well dressed and had so much carriage, horses and luggage. They looked better than her natal family.

Su Yanli's biography mentioned that the Su family were squires of Pingjiang Prefecture. After Su Ruojin saw it, he also thought about how much family wealth it took to be called a squire. Last night, the steward of the Su family came over to inform his father that he had bought it when he came to pick him up this morning. After entering and leaving the compound three times, I didn't expect to see real people. Even though the journey from south to north was dusty, the wealth and comfort shown by the Su family still shocked Su Ruojin, who was struggling in the lower class of the capital.

 It seems that except for Su Yanzu going to the imperial prison to trouble his father, the Su family should not be affected by the autumn wind.

Su Dekai was in a trance when he suddenly saw his son, who had not seen him for more than ten years and had only reached the eighth-level doctorate in the capital, as if his son had just arrived in the capital from his hometown yesterday. His appearance had not changed at all, and he was still as gentle and polite. He looks like he has nothing to do with the world. If...he was willing to work hard, he would probably be at least seventh grade now, higher than the county magistrate. So wouldn't his reputation in his hometown be better?

When my aunt Qian got off the carriage, she glanced at the concubine's family in front of her. They all looked pretty good, but they looked gentle and gentle, just like the steward. The poor one still rents a house. If it weren't for a breakfast stall, I heard Eating is a problem.

Ms. Qian looked specifically at the eldest son of the concubine. If they hadn't heard that he had the son of the King of Jin and the Minister of Civil Affairs, they would not have moved their family to the capital. He hoped not to disappoint her.

Su Ruojin glanced at her grandfather and grandmother, and saw that they were just staring at her father. She looked for her uncle who was said to be a scholar one year earlier than her father but failed to pass the exam for nine years.

I searched around and saw no one. Just when I was wondering, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward shouted in the distance, "Er Langjun, Da Langjun and his family are here."

It turned out that her second uncle was standing in the waterside pavilion not far away, looking at the scenery, shaking his head at the willow branches hanging from the top of the pavilion, not knowing what poem to write and what to do. From the back, he looked similar to her father. Could it be that he was also like him? Is he an elegant scholar?

Hearing the cry, the young man finally turned around and walked towards this side with his hands behind his back.

Su Yanzu, twenty years old this year, was the son of his grandmother when Su Yanli was a scholar when he was twelve years old. Not only did he have a handsome appearance, but he also had a pair of charming peach blossom eyes. As he walked slowly, he felt like a noble prince.

I have to say that the genes of the Su family are quite good. Su Yanli’s clear, handsome and graceful person is similar to Su Yanzu’s. His temperament is chic and in line with the traditional aesthetics, which makes people forget about vulgarity.

"Brother, long time no see. How are you?"

Su Ruojin:…

He is a gentle and handsome guy even if he doesn't open his mouth, but with this mouth...why is he so indebted?

You also know that I am the eldest brother. Why are you just reminiscing about old times with ordinary literary friends? You are only polite and don't see the true feelings.

However, Su Yanli left home at the age of seventeen or eighteen, either on a study tour or taking scientific examinations. He really had no relationship with his younger brother who was only a few years old at the time. The politeness in his mouth was just the basic courtesy he gave to his rumored brother.

I haven't seen it for more than ten years. There is no emotional fluctuation in the Su family to meet, let alone crying with headaches. It is even faint than ordinary friends.

Su Yanzu spoke, and Su Yanli took his wife and children to salute his father, mother-in-law, and younger brother one by one. He said a few polite words about the long journey and the fatigue of traveling, and then turned directly to the meal, "I booked a banquet at the Jingzhong Restaurant for my father, mother, and grandma. Brother, take the wind and wash away the dust."

Su Dekai did not refuse, stroking a few strands of his beard to listen to what the eldest son would do.

Su Yanli said, "It's the Gaoyang Tower in Beijing."

Su Ruojin really didn't know that his father had booked such a good restaurant. Although he was very surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face and followed the adults to listen to their greetings. There are countless large and small restaurants in Bianjing City, but there are only a few first-class restaurants. In addition to the first floor that Su Ruojin looked up at - Fengle Building, there are a few more, including Gaoyang Building.

 It has something to do with high school. Everyone will understand as soon as they hear it. It has something to do with the high school. Every time around the time when the results are released in the spring, the grand occasion cannot be compared to that of Fengle Tower.

 At first glance, you can tell that Su Yanli attaches great importance to his family's coming to Beijing and his younger brother's future.

 But sometimes, how much attention is paid to the form, the inner contrast between the parties involved actually becomes greater. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of resistance and perfunctory that uses money to fill the heart.

The Su family did not feel as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. They were dressed in rich clothes and went to the restaurant. The waiter at the restaurant enthusiastically ushered them into the private room they had reserved and served them a table of sumptuous food and wine.

From leaving the city at dawn to entering the city and coming to a restaurant for dinner, it took most of the day. Su Ruojin and Su Sanlang picked up the chopsticks after the old couple Su Dekai moved their chopsticks. It seemed that they were silent, but in fact they ate a big meal and hurriedly filled their little ones. abdomen.

Su Yanli, on the other hand, has been away from home for too long and doesn't know how to get along with his father and aunt. He doesn't use chopsticks much and is not good at recommending food or drinks.

 He is not good at it, but someone is good at it.

Su Yanzu raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, brother. I'd like to offer you a glass of wine at my leisure." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, showing the elegance of a scholar and the boldness and neatness of a businessman.

Su Ruojin looked at them seemingly unintentionally while eating. Looking around, she didn't seem to feel that he was a drunkard, or was he too good at pretending?

 Su Yanzu was at the table to encourage us to drink and eat, and the atmosphere finally got better.

At the end of the meal, Su Dekai finally opened his mouth, "Dalang, your brother's admission to the Imperial College is all your responsibility. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"I..." Su Yanli wanted to refuse, but couldn't open his mouth.

Su Ruojin lowered her little hand and tapped his father under the table to signal his agreement.

Su Yanli almost turned around and asked his daughter why she agreed. Fortunately, he was not an impulsive boy and nodded calmly, "Father, don't worry, I will try my best."

Ms. Qian remained silent until Su Yanli relented. She said slowly, "There is a lot of space in the house, so you can just return the rented house and live at home."

These were not polite words of favor, and the Su family's aunt's tone was not that of discussion, but that of a gift that could not be refused.

This is because he is afraid that Su Yanli will not do his best to keep people around him to supervise Su Yanzu!

Su Ruojin looked at Su Yanzu. He clearly looked like a high-minded person who didn't need to rely on others to get through the back door. Why didn't he stop him when his parents opened their mouths?

 Has he passed his rebellious stage?

Hearing this, the first person who was anxious was Cheng Yingzhen. She couldn't even take care of her aunt's mother-in-law. The mother-in-law in front of her who was richer than her aunt's mother was not low-profile. Can she take care of her?

When she got nervous, she reached out and grabbed her daughter's hand, asking, "What should I do?"
