The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 102

Chapter 102 Going out

It was true to have a meal, but it was false to ask for advice. Cheng Yingzhen finished working in the kitchen, Fan Yanjia had already come out of Su Yanli's study, and the two young masters bowed to each other to say goodbye.

The Su family was seeing off their guests. When Su Yanli saw that his daughter was not there, he pushed open the door of the small room and said, "Ajin—"

In a daze, Su Ruojin heard her father calling her, turned around and faced the voice, "Dad..."

 “Send me off to the two young gentlemen.”

 “Oh.” Su Ruojin promised, still confused and didn't move.

 Under the dim light, the little lady is white and pink, dazed, and as cute as a clay doll. It really makes people want to pinch her.

Fan Yanjia thought to herself, how about letting his sister-in-law give birth to a little niece like this for him to play with.

Su Ruojin: ...I thank you!

Zhao Lan glanced and turned her gaze to the dim courtyard. The mother-in-law probably couldn't give birth to such a sister.

Seeing that his daughter was confused and didn't move for a long time, Su Yanli laughed and said apologetically to the two students: "I'm sleepy." After that, he entered the room, reached out and picked up his daughter and left the wing. He was afraid of the cold outside, so he stood in the corridor without going down the steps. , just asked: "It's dark and windy, so be careful on the road."

 “Thank you for your hospitality, Doctor. The students will go first.”

 The two young masters left the Su family together.

 Shu Tong and Su Dalang followed and escorted them to the entrance of the alley.

Su Yanli saw his daughter sleeping on his shoulder again, so he said to his wife, "Azhen, let her sleep."

 Cheng Yingzhen nodded.

Su Sanlang was also sleepy and hugged Cheng Yingzhen to sleep, "I want to sleep too...I want to sleep too..."

The couple seemed to have long been used to the two children making noise. Su Yanli sent his daughter back to the room, turned around and took his third son to wash up, leaving his wife to clean up her daughter.

At the entrance of the alley, Fan Yanjia got on Zhao Lan's carriage, which disappeared into the night. Su Dalang and Shu Tong then turned around and went back.

In the carriage, Fan Yanjia was also tired. He leaned against the wall of the carriage, resting his mind while chatting with Zhao Lan: "Actually, I can still eat a bowl, Zijin, what about you?"

Zhao Lan rolled her eyes at him and looked like "What do you think?" He now gets up early to practice martial arts and studies in the school during the day. At the end of the day, although there is a dinner and refreshments, he always feels that it is not to his taste. He is so full that he comes to the master's house to be a guest. The master has not prepared much, so of course he is not embarrassed to eat.

 “How about we go have some barbecue?”

There is no need to go. Zhao Lan asked the boy to go to Suji BBQ and buy some. The two of them ate on the carriage and went home.

Su Ruojin didn't know that the two young masters had eaten to their heart's content. She had already gone to sleep in the warm quilt.

 In October, the northwest wind became more and more fierce, and people who were cold were too lazy to go out. Cheng Yingzhen was weak and could not withstand the cold, and coughed from time to time. Su Ruojin often made her pear stew in the afternoon.

The big autumn pears that Mr. Feng brought from the mountains were wrapped in oil paper and placed in the cellar. They were well preserved and would not lose moisture throughout the winter. When you want to eat them, take out a few, cut off the stems, and dig them out with a spoon. Remove the meat inside, then add red dates, wolfberry, lily, Sichuan scallops, and rock sugar, then add some scooped-out pear meat, steam it in a pot, and a tonic dessert that relieves coughs, moisturizes the lungs, and removes dryness is ready.

Every time Cheng Yingzhen ate all the food, the Su Ruojin brothers and sisters often ate it too. It was sweet and nutritious, and they never got tired of eating it. In addition to afternoon snacks, the Su family's food has also changed from small stir-fries and braised dishes to mainly clay pots. Things like wok cucumber and tofu stew, radish and cuttlefish stew, fragrant braised chicken, etc. are basically all made in casseroles.

 The higher the usage rate, the higher the frequency of wear and tear.

The day before the two young masters notified them in advance that they would come over for dinner, another one was worn out. Su Ruojin asked Uncle Shutong to drive the mule cart. She went to the pottery bowl market to pick out a few and came back. She didn't believe that they could still survive in one winter. not enough?

The weather was really cold, so Su Ruojin armed herself from head to toe, wearing a cashmere hat and a large cotton-padded jacket. The cotton here was not the cotton that would be known in later generations, but kapok. It was just as warm as wearing it on her body, and she wore waterproof and windproof deer boots on her feet. Leather shoes, deerskin can be used to make shoes. This is thanks to the little prince of Pingyang. Although people come to eat, the staff is never empty. Even if there is no time to bring gifts at the time, they will be made up for later. This deerskin is a return gift. , Su Ruojin hired a specialized shoemaker to add a layer of cashmere under the deerskin. It was the same as the suede leather shoes in later generations. It was very warm and not afraid of the severe cold at all.

Each person in the Su family has a pair. With this, the little prince can come and have as many meals as he wants. Su Ruojin has no problem with it. Having said that, is this too weird? Haha... I don't care... It's important to find a few good casseroles quickly.

Shutong led Su Ruojin to the pottery bowl market and immediately attracted the attention of many people. They all looked at the little lady wearing a strange red hat. Although it was strange, it looked white and tender on her little face. Against the background of the red hat, she looks even more cute with red lips and white teeth, just like the little fairy child in the New Year pictures.

 “This hat looks like something from the Liao and Xia Kingdom in the west.”

 “Well, it looks a bit like it?”

The onlookers were pointing and pointing, but Su Ruojin pretended not to hear anything. It was something from the Liao and Xia countries. This was clearly a woolen knitted hat that came from abroad in later generations.

Su Ruojin went straight to the casserole, stretched out her little hand and tapped on it, choosing a good-looking and durable casserole.

 A picturesque little lady was choosing a casserole like a knowledgeable expert, which aroused curiosity among the shopkeeper and waiter. Some people couldn't help teasing her, "Little lady, if you break it, you'll have to pay for it."

Su Ruojin smiled at the middle-aged man who was not malicious and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you."

Hey, the young lady is quite loud. Whose young lady is this? She is so rare, and I can't help but wonder, if a young lady from a high-status family would never come to such a market, could she be someone? The kid in charge? But this child clearly doesn't seem like someone a steward could raise. Could it be that a young lady from a high-ranking family comes out occasionally?

With her little finger tapping all the way, Su Ruojin chose two of the best quality casseroles, but in order to avoid going out in the winter, she decided to buy two more from other stores. Buying four at once would be enough.

Shutong came over quickly to pay the money.

Waiting for the opportunity to pay for the book and the money, Su Ruojin looked at all kinds of beautiful dishes. As everyone knows, women are irresistible to beautiful dishes, and they can't move once they see them.

Just when she took a fancy to a set of elegant azure tableware, a sweaty man suddenly came to the door. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Su Erniang... Su Erniang..."

Everyone's eyes were already on Yuxue's lovely Su Ruojin, and when they heard someone shouting, they stared at her.

"Uncle Zhang?" Su Ruojin didn't expect to meet Carpenter Zhang here. Since the walker, they met once or twice a month, but she didn't expect to meet him at the pottery bowl market: "You are here Selling a walker?”

 Zhang Carpenter ran so hard that he couldn't breathe. He swallowed several times before he finally regained his breath. "Su Erniang...you...come here..."

Su Ruojin felt that something was wrong with him and hurriedly walked up to him, "Uncle Zhang, what's the matter?"
