Chapter 213: To get promoted and make a fortune
Su Ruojin stared at Zhao Lan nervously. If he wasn't running away, what was that? Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, she suddenly had a physical attack, and she remembered why she woke up in the middle of the night, took her coat and ran outside.
Shuangrui heard someone talking in the room and had already woken up from his drowsiness. He saw Mrs. Su running out and stepped over to stop her. Su Ruojin didn't have time to play tricks with him, so she ran and said, "How anxious are you for this person?" I do not know!"
Shuangrui got out of the way in an instant, but he was also embarrassed and didn't know what to do. He didn't want to stay in the corridor in the middle of the night!
Zhao Lan chased out of the room: ...feeling guilty and coughing subconsciously.
Shuang Rui stepped forward and persuaded, "Master, it's midnight, how about we stay in the Su family guest room for one night?" He didn't persuade his master to go back, and he probably wouldn't leave even if he persuaded him.
Zhao Lan walked down the steps, nodded, and left the courtyard where Su Ruojin lived.
After finishing the work, Su Ruojin stretched herself and was about to go back to her room to sleep. Mao Ya pulled her and said, "Second lady, how about you just stay with me tonight?"
She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and said with a smile, "It's not that... it's not that..." In her own home, could she still be afraid of him?
"I have something to ask him, and I will drive him away after I finish asking him."
Fortunately, someone had already consciously left first.
Mao Ya pursed her lips and wanted to ask the young master what he meant to Prince Zhao, but the words turned into another question, "Second Madam, after the matter in Beijing is settled, we will go to Wei Zhou, if I stay there for three years, won't it delay your marriage? "
In the middle of the night, it was impossible for Sister Mao Ya to get involved in marriage for no reason. Su Ruojin, who had always regarded herself as a child, stopped and turned to look at Sister Mao Ya.
Mao Ya looked at her.
The two looked at each other, although they didn't say a word, they both knew what it meant.
"Zhao Lan treats me..." Is that really interesting? Did you even notice it?
Mao Ya nodded.
Su Ruojin hissed, "When did it happen?"
Mao Ya thought to herself, how could I know? She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"But I'm only thirteen years old." At such a young age, she's just like a yellow-haired girl who doesn't want anything. What does this beautiful little prince like her for? Or is it because of the relationship between the junior sister and the younger sister, some people who are close to the water and have the advantage first come first?
What happened to being thirteen? Mao Ya thought the young master's words were strange. Didn't young ladies meet when they were thirteen and get married when they were fifteen or sixteen? Even if it was later than 17 or 8, they would still get married.
Mao Ya looked at her strangely, and Su Ruojin immediately understood that this was not the case in modern times where even a 13-year-old girl's relationship would be labeled as puppy love. She thought of Yang Siniang, who was the same age as her, and she seemed to want to book it for her cousin and prepare one. They will get married in a year or two.
Thinking of this, Su Ruojin suddenly felt bad! God, no!
The master and servant stood staring at each other for a long time. When another yawn came, Su Ruojin gave up these annoying thoughts and clapped her mouth, "Go and drive him away." She leaned on the stool and put her hands on He held his chin and dozed off.
It was impossible for her to have a relationship with Zhao Lan. First, she had always regarded him as an aristocratic young man with a high IQ and herself as a child, and she had never thought of this. Second, Princess Jin had already gone all over the capital to choose a wife for Zhao Lan, and the wife's The candidates are all rich ladies from official families of fourth rank or above. Everyone in the capital knows why she wants to get involved, she is not asking for trouble.
Thirdly, such a stunning young man should not be blasphemed! It's better to appreciate it from a distance.
Mao Ya had been threatened by Zhao Lan's master and servant, so she was a little scared and stood still.
Su Ruojin knocked her head bit by bit.
Seeing the master and servant like this, Chunxiao shook his head, walked out of the ward slightly, turned to the corridor, looked at the second wife's room, and found that Shuangrui was not in the corridor, so he quickly went to the room to check, and found that the young prince had left, so he quickly turned back , told Master and Servant Su Ruojin, "The little prince has gone to rest."
The master finally left, Su Ruojin quickly went back and fell into bed and continued to sleep soundly.
The next day, when Zhao Lan woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and cicadas were chirping outside the window.
Shuangrui stepped forward to change his clothes and wash himself.
When Zhao Lan packed up and went out to find Su Ruojin, Chunxiao told her, "Second Lady is not awake yet."
Zhao Lan subconsciously went to see Chen Guang. It was already ten o'clock in the morning, right? The little lady hasn't woken up yet?
Shuangrui quietly glanced at his master to see if he wanted someone to call the mistress, but in the end he didn't, "I'm hungry." Let's have breakfast first.
Chunxiao quickly asked Mother Dong to arrange meals.
Ye Huaizhen finally saw Hua Ping, "Didn't I say that you and the young prince went to visit the second lady?"
Huaping shook his head, "No, I went to investigate other matters."
Hearing that he was investigating the matter, Ye Huaizhen was extremely depressed. He originally thought that the murderer who had framed his father would be found. Unexpectedly, the suspected murderer actually got promoted and made a fortune. If the murderer who framed his father was really named Yang, why would that happen?
Ever since he and Su Ruojin speculated that Yang might be the mastermind behind the scandal, Ye Huaizhen had a visibly enthusiastic attitude towards everything around him. Although there were no words between him and her, Hua Ping felt that the relationship between them Taking a step further, there is a tacit feeling of mutual understanding.
But now, she is just like how she was when we first met her. She is cold and aloof, unwilling to bend down to ask for help. She always walks in this world like a man, which makes people feel sad and pitiful.
"Huaizhen..." Hua Ping sighed deeply, "I'm sorry, it's my incompetence and I lost him. So the prince's death is just a suspicion for the time being. If we can't find any evidence, we can't convict him."
It has been almost ten years since we searched for the murderer and we still have no clue. However, Ye Huaizhen would not blame Hua Ping. She shook her head, "Maybe it's not that we didn't work hard enough, but that the murderer was too cunning."
For some reason, the less she could get hold of Yang Jingzi, the more she believed that Yang was the murderer.
Dejected, she suddenly stood up: "I must find evidence that he is not the real Yang Jingzi." She had an intuition that Su Erniang's reasoning was correct.
Hua Ping saw the stubbornness in her eyes and the way she would not give up until she reached her goal. He felt heartbroken and incompetent at the same time. He couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Huaizhen, I'll wait for you until you find the murderer." You get married."
Ye Huaizhen, who was trying every means to find evidence, was stunned when he heard this:...
Why are you talking about getting married?
"If I can't find the murderer, why don't you stay married for the rest of your life?"
The two looked at each other.
During the long time, although they didn't speak much and didn't meet many times, they felt like they had known each other for a long time. They were so familiar that they knew each other even if they had a faint mole on their cheeks, and they knew everything about the other person's thoughts.
them…
Huaping said solemnly, "Then I will help you search for your whole life."
It is a confession without love words, but also a lifelong commitment.
The cold-hearted Ye Huaizhen couldn't help but be moved: "Hua Sicha..."
The two hands held each other tighter.
When I woke up, the sky was bright.
Su Ruojin was really full of sleep, and she was back to being a lively little lady. She had long forgotten that there were uninvited guests in her bedroom in the middle of the night last night, let alone that the uninvited guests were still waiting at home.
Mao Ya couldn't help but remind: "Second Lady, it's not just dawn now."
"Ah?" Su Ruojin knew that she would oversleep as soon as she relaxed, so she asked with a smile, "What time is it now?"
"Mother Dong just came over to order lunch."
Su Ruojin smiled guiltily, "It turns out that the sun has already reached the soles of your feet."
The little lady laughed at herself, and Mao Ya couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. The master and the two servants packed up and left the yard.
The Su family went to the foot of Dongshan Mountain to escape the summer heat. When Su Yanli and Su Dalang lived in Beijing, they usually had breakfast and dinner in Su Ji. At noon, one was in the government office and the other was in the Imperial College. Therefore, their clothes were taken care of by their respective servants, leaving only There was an old gatekeeper and the fire girl Li Xiuzhu. The two of them stayed behind to look after the house. Occasionally, Mother Dong would come back to visit, but since the chaos in the capital, she had not come back to visit.
It wasn't until Su Ruojin came back that she came back with him.
The janitor was still there. When the group came back, the old janitor opened the door. However, when they looked for Li Xiuzhu, they couldn't find anyone. When they asked the old janitor, he said, "When the chaos broke out in the capital, he said he wanted to see his mother. He never came back.”
Dong's mother asked, “How long did it take?”
The old man replied, "I guess it's been half a month."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
The old gatekeeper smiled and said, "No one is home, so we can't leave."
Dong's mother: …There's nothing wrong with that.
Okay, when the little master wakes up, she will tell the little master again and see if she wants to ask Li's side.
Until noon, Prince Zhao did not leave. Mother Dong was so angry that she was not in the mood to look for the young master. She looked at Prince Zhao as if she were a thief. Why is this man like this? The master is not at home. What is he doing here? I really wonder. It makes our little lady unable to get married!
If you can't get married, is he responsible for marrying him?
When Mama Dong was really angry secretly, the young master finally came over and said, "Second Lady..."
Chunxiao was helping to put the dishes on the plates, and Zhao Lan seemed to have just gotten up and came over from the corridor to eat.
"Prince Xiaojun Zhao—" Su Ruojin stepped forward and saluted. She thought he had gone back to work, but he was still at her house. For some reason, when she saw Zhao Lan again, she lost her previous calmness and always felt a little awkward.
She had always regarded him as a young man, a big figure, and a great god, but she never thought that this little prince, who was not a man of the world, could also have feelings and be in love, and that the person he wanted to fall in love with might still be herself.
No matter how you think about it, it feels inconsistent.
Zhao Lan seemed to feel that the young lady was a little uncomfortable. Could it be that she noticed it? An inexplicable smile appeared on his eyebrows.
"Ajin..."
Not knowing how to face it, Su Ruojin could only fake a smile and extend her hand to invite him, "Little prince, please sit down."
Zhao Lan nodded, "Ah Jin, sit down too." He looked at the young lady sitting down.
Su Ruojin sat down nearby.
Zhao Lan walked to her side and sat with her.
Su Ruojin: ...Why don't you take your seat?
Of course, she wouldn't ask and smiled slightly.
Chunxiao served the two of them rice and dishes in an orderly manner. They both took the chopsticks. Su Ruojin habitually slowed down and let the noble little prince use the chopsticks first. But today, Zhao Lan did not move the chopsticks, as if waiting. she.
Su Ruojin didn't wake up until noon. Su Ruojin was hungry, so she forced a smile and reminded: "Little prince, eat!"
"Ah Jin will eat too."
Of course I want to eat, but I have to wait for you to use your chopsticks first!
With a smile in her eyes, Zhao Lan reached out with her chopsticks to pick up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it into the little lady's bowl. Su Ruojin quickly caught the bowl and said, "Thank you, little prince."
The young lady was always so polite to him. Zhao Lan smiled slightly and gave himself a piece of twice-cooked pork. He always felt that the taste was not as good as what the young lady cooked.
Su Ruojin still likes the little prince who is aloof and distant. His gentle and warm-hearted feeling makes her feel that she is not eating, but being tortured.
It was hard to finish the meal in one meal.
Zhao Lan eats.
Su Ruojin took the opportunity to ask a question that she had not had time to ask yesterday, "Little Prince, what's wrong with the person named Yang?"
"I've been promoted and made a fortune."
Su Ruojin's reaction was the same as Ye Huaizhen's. She was shocked for a long time. She shook her head. Maybe she guessed wrong because she had watched too many movies and TV series. It was best this way. Mrs. Yang's husband would still be her husband, and Yang Siniang's father would still be Yang Siniang's father.
The young lady had a complicated look on her face. Zhao Lan glanced at her and said, "I am investigating the death of the prince, and he has nothing to do with it."
Su Ruojin was surprised: "The little prince means that he is from King Xiang?"
Zhao Lan pursed his lips and did not answer.
When the prince seized the throne, he secretly cultivated and bribed many people. Master Yang was a member of King Xiang, so it certainly made sense to kill the prince to help King Xiang ascend to the throne.
Su Ruojin thought for a while and said, "The King of Xiang has ascended the throne, and Mr. Yang has been promoted and made a fortune. Even if you find out that he is the murderer of the prince, you probably won't be able to present it to the emperor."
Zhao Lan sneered, "I only told you this matter. When you leave this door, you will pretend you don't know."
Su Ruojin nodded, she still knew this important relationship, "However, why do I feel that Mrs. Yang doesn't seem to know that Mr. Yang has been promoted and made a fortune? Hasn't the imperial court officially issued an imperial edict?"
"Just the past two days."
Sure enough.
There was intrigue in the capital, and Su Ruojin really wanted to go back to Weizhou County as soon as possible.
After staying too long, Zhao Lan really wanted to go back to work. He asked, "When will A Jin return to Weizhou?"
Su Yanli could become the county magistrate of Weizhou because Zhao Lan and Mr. Fan were the driving forces behind it. Otherwise, how could a Gyeonggi Province magistrate fall on him and give the teacher good career development, but it would be difficult for him to meet the young lady? .
"Mrs. Yang said she wanted to treat me to a meal. I guess I will have to stay in the capital for a few days before I can go back."
That's good.
When Zhao Lan heard that she was still here, a smile spread across her brows, "I'll invite you to a hot pot restaurant for dinner tomorrow night and let you look at something to see if it's what you've been looking for."
What is she looking for? Cotton, corn, peppers? Red Department, everything is a good thing that she has longed for, and she has long forgotten her warning of refusing to go on an appointment with the young man alone.
When the young lady heard this, her eyebrows were smiling, and her whole face was lively and lively, which was very attractive. Zhao Lan almost reached out and pinched the tender and fleshy cheeks.
Mother Dong and Mao Ya watched helplessly as their little lady was tricked by Prince Zhao into having dinner together.
The two of them: ...Who can say no to a noble man who knows how to coax a young lady? What can we do!
Zhao Lan left with satisfaction.
