Chapter 215 Time Pepper
What she was about to say was interrupted. Su Ruojin took the opportunity to pull out her hand and said, "The princess is here." She quickly went to the door to greet people.
Zhao Lan regretted not saying anything and was too lazy to move.
The young lady looked back at her and said, "Your aunt, won't you come to greet her?"
I really didn't want to go and greet her, so I stopped him from thinking about it for a long time before he dared to speak.
Outside the door, Princess Yuehua was already waiting at the door of the private room. Seeing that the door had not moved for a long time, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a louder voice on purpose, "Since Lan is waiting for guests, I won't disturb her."
Why was there no movement at all inside the door? Shuang Rui couldn't talk much about the masters' affairs, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Inside the door, Su Ruojin felt that Princess Yuehua knew that Zhao Lan was eating with her and it was really rude not to open the door to welcome people. She reached out and touched the door. Thinking about it, she could only take a step back from Zhao Lan. She turned around again and found that he had stood up. Come over and take two steps back quickly.
Zhao Lan lowered his head to look at the young lady.
The princess was waiting outside, and this guy wasn't in a hurry. Su Ruojin was anxious for him, but couldn't say it out loud, looking anxious.
The little lady's anxious look finally made the depressed Zhao Lan feel a lot better. She raised her lips and reached out to open the door, "Zijin has met my aunt."
Su Ruojin followed and saluted, "Ajin has met His Highness."
Yuehua glanced at the two of them and smiled deeply, "It seems that the table hasn't been opened yet..."
"Auntie, please come in—"
Yuehua stepped into the private room unceremoniously and asked as he walked, "I heard that Dr. Su was transferred to Wei County as the county magistrate?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Then will Mrs. Su live in the capital or follow Mr. Su in office?"
"Except for my eldest brother who is studying in the Imperial College, the rest of my family members follow my father in office."
"Oh~" Princess Yuehua looked at her nephew meaningfully again, and then sat down at the main seat, "Alan invites Mrs. Su to have hot pot today?"
Of course when you come to a hot pot restaurant, you eat hot pot.
Zhao Lan asked Su Ruojin to sit with him regardless of what his aunt was looking at, and Su Ruojin looked towards Princess Yuehua.
"Mrs. Su, you're welcome, sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
With the princess here, Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin had nothing to talk about, so they asked people to serve food. July is the time when river fish are plump. Today they are making fish head soup hot pot, with pickled cabbage and spicy seasoning added. It's sour and spicy, very appetizing.
The fish fillets were cut very thin, and you could put them in the soup for 20 to 30 seconds before eating them. They were very fresh and tender. Su Ruojin rinsed a lot of fish fillets and was very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, they also served ice cream for dessert.
One bite, one bite, this is such a perfect meal in the hot summer!
Princess Yuehua also dug into the ice cream, but her mind was not on the desserts. Her eyes fell on her nephew who had lost his smile all night, then on the innocent little lady, and finally looked towards the door as if she was waiting for someone. .
The ice cream recipe was given to Zhao Lan by herself, making it look like she had never eaten it before. Su Ruojin laughed secretly, put down the spoon, and looked at the princess and the little prince. After eating and drinking, she wanted to go home and sleep.
Why did the princess, who was in a good mood just now, look so downcast? Could it be that the hot pot didn't taste good, or the reception wasn't good enough?
But this is his nephew's hot pot restaurant, so it has nothing to do with her in any case!
Su Ruojin calmed down her emotions and became cautious.
Zhao Lan sensed the change in her aunt's mood, smiled slightly and said, "Aunt, it's getting late, I'll see you off!"
"No need." Yuehua stood up and left with the maid waiting on her.
The two followed her downstairs to see her off.
Yuehua signaled not to give it away.
But Zhao Lan is a nephew and a junior, how could he not send it to the door downstairs.
Su Ruojin, who was walking behind, obviously felt that Princess Yuehua didn't need such politeness. She glanced at Zhao Lan and realized that he didn't seem to see Princess Yuehua's little thoughts, so she didn't say much to remind her.
It wasn't until she left the door that she saw a person standing by the curb. It was clear that the person had his back to the hot pot restaurant and was looking towards the street. However, Princess Yuehua, who had been in a low mood just now, suddenly brightened up and even looked up in the mood. bright moon.
Su Ruojin also knew that person. He was the uncle who asked him to take care of Shangguanyu.
Logically speaking, the uncle is Princess Yuehua's long history and is not Princess Yuehua's coachman, so he should not appear here, but he still appears here. Not only that, Her Highness the Princess also changed her mood because of this, which is very intriguing.
Su Yanzu turned around, probably sensing that someone was looking at him.
He is a scholar, but he does not have the aura of literary weakness. He is tall and tall. He is wearing a light green satin robe with dark bamboo leaves. The robe has loose sleeves and wide sleeves, but it cannot hide his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He looks at people with a lonely look in his eyes. Deep and naturally good looking.
Seeing the moonlight, he lowered his head slightly and bowed, "I'm late for my humble duty. Please punish me, Your Highness."
"You still know that you came late. If I had waited for you to come before eating, I might have starved to death." Princess Yuehua's words were full of disgust, but the corners of her mouth were raised. She turned to her nephew and said, " If you invite me for this meal, my aunt will leave first."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand.
When Su Ruojin saw that the two older girls didn't come forward to let her ride, her eyes naturally turned to her uncle, and her eyes met his, as if you were here to let them ride.
Su Yanzu looked complicated.
The waiting Princess Yuehua saw the two uncles and nephews confronting each other. She glanced at them calmly and reminded them with a smile: "Master Su—"
Su Yanzu lowered his eyes, walked over, and half-raised his arms.
Princess Yuehua put her hand on his arm and Yan Xiaoyan got on the carriage.
Before Su Yanzu got on the carriage, he turned around and glanced at his little niece standing in front of the store, calmed down his emotions, and got on the carriage.
Su Ruojin raised her eyes and looked at the dark blue sky. The sky was full of shining stars, twinkling like fireflies, illuminating everything in the night.
Time goes by, nothing lasts forever.
"Ajin?"
Su Ruojin came back to her senses. The satisfaction she felt during the meal was gone. She also forgot about the novelties and was listless. So what excitement was there?
Zhao Lan saw this, glanced at the carriage in the distance, and smiled slightly, "Don't you want to know what the novelty I found is?"
"What is it?"
It was just a perfunctory answer, as if she didn't bother to ask if it weren't for the fact that you were the little prince.
Zhao Lan shook his head and reached out to pick her up.
Su Ruojin was frightened and quickly put her hands behind her back, "No way, there are people coming and going in front of the store."
Zhao Lan didn't care when his hand fell, and he hugged her back gently, "Let's go see some new things."
In order to prevent him from really grabbing her, Su Ruojin walked straight forward as if a dog was chasing her from behind.
Zhao Lan:…
Is he a dog?
Zhao Lan took the young lady to the boss's suite specially reserved for him in the restaurant. Shuang Rui opened the door and let the two of them in.
As soon as Su Ruojin entered the suite, she saw a plate of green plants on the large office desk, and the small spikes growing toward the sky caught her eye instantly.
Oops, what is that...isn't she dazzled?
The little lady, who had not been excited just now, came to life in an instant, screamed excitedly, ran towards the green plant, held a small tip and kissed it, "Oh my god...oh my god...that's it, that's right, that's it." …”
The little lady jumped up and down excitedly, kissing again... Zhao Lan's thoughts stopped, the little lady actually kissed a pot of flowers?
God, she finally saw the magic weapon of taste buds - chili. How many delicacies are she going to unlock?
Su Ruojin jumped for joy.
If Shuang Rui hadn't had time to close the door, he had seen the young lady happy for a pot of green plants. If he had closed the door and he hadn't seen it, he would have thought that she had knocked down his little master. He would be more excited than being a county princess. So happy!
What's so magical about the little potted plant that Fan Bang paid tribute to, that it could make the little lady so happy? Shuangrui couldn't figure it out. He was wondering whether to close the door and let the little master and the little lady face each other!
Since the little lady is so satisfied with the magical potted plant that the master found, let's close the door. Maybe the little lady will thank the little master sincerely?
Who knows, right? Shuangrui closed the door with a little calculation.
Su Ruojin was in a state of excitement. She subconsciously counted how many peppers she had produced, how many seeds each one would produce, and how many seeds the whole pot would contain. If she planted them next year, how many would she harvest, and how long would it take? Achieve chili freedom.
The young lady was excited and chattering, and Zhao Lan was not in a hurry. He sat behind the desk, leaned on the armchair, rested his hands on the armrests of the armchair, and looked at the young lady with a smile on his face, a look of doting on his face.
Su Ruojin's eyes almost fell into the flower pot as she counted them. Even the buds that seemed to be sprouting on the branches were counted by her one by one. "Counting all these, there are not many seeds. If there are more pots, it will be enough." alright."
"You're not greedy." Zhao Lan closed his eyes and took a rest at some point. Hearing the little lady's mumbling, he couldn't help but say, "The tribes paid tribute, with a total of six pots. Four pots were left in the palace. One basin, one basin for my father.”
"The eldest princess?" Su Ruojin's eyes lit up, "Is she the mother-in-law of Prince Wei?"
"Um."
Su Ruojin quickly walked around Zhao Lan, "Brother Zhao..."
He was a little prince just now!
Zhao Lan suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at the young lady.
Su Ruojin's eyes subconsciously averted.
Zhao Lan couldn't help laughing because he was so flustered as a deer, "What's the matter, brother Zhao? What's the matter, little prince?"
Su Ruojin:...She...isn't that realistic either!
"Hmph!" Zhao Lan glanced at her, "Tell me, why are you beating Xiao Jiujiu again?"
hey-hey!
A certain young lady smiled like a little mouse who had stolen sesame oil, "Brother Zhao, when the eldest princess's pot of green fruits turns into red fruits and then becomes shriveled, you can pick them for me, okay?"
"What if the eldest princess doesn't throw away the reserved seeds?"
That's right too!
But with just one pot, the amount of seeds that can be left is really limited. Su Ruojin doesn't want to wait a few years. She wants to collect all the seeds this year and plant a few acres next year. Wouldn't it be possible to achieve the freedom of pepper?
"Brother Zhao..." Su Ruojin laughed and shook his arm on the armrest, "Why don't you treat Prince Wei to a nice meal and let him pick the pepper seeds for you?"
When the young lady grabbed his arm and shook him, Zhao Lan held his breath unconsciously. The touch of her soft little hand was simply indescribable.
He stepped forward with his backhand, "Ah Jin!"
He raised his eyes and looked deeply at the young lady with thick eyes.
Only then did Su Ruojin realize that she was acting coquettishly, and she quickly tried to withdraw her hand, but it was too late, and she was caught by the young man.
"Little Prince, you...if you have something to say, please let go first..."
As she struggled to free herself, she felt that the ice in the room had no effect at all, and she was sweating all over.
Zhao Lan straightened up, changed his hands, and used the other hand to push the little lady's face away from her, "Ajin, look at me-"
I'm coming…
Su Ruojin knew that Zhao Lan was going to confirm their relationship.
Sure enough, the next sentence -
"Ajin, my heart is happy with you, and I want to marry you."
Mother! What should she do?
Su Ruojin felt sweat breaking out on her back.
On the face, he was very calm, "We are not suitable for each other."
"I think it's a good fit."
The words "I don't want you to think, I just want what I think" came to Su Ruojin's mind, and she raised her eyebrows, "Princess Jin only agrees to the daughter of an official of fourth rank or above. According to my father's status, I can't get into the eyes of the princess."
"You don't need to worry about this problem. I can handle it myself. As long as Ah Jin is happy with me, I will take care of the rest."
Su Ruojin didn't believe that marriages that had not been blessed by her parents since ancient times ended up in a mess. She sneered, "Can you handle it?"
Zhao Lan didn't hear the meaning of each word, but heard the hidden meaning of this sentence, and smiled happily: "A Jin is happy with me?"
"When did I say that?"
"I understand." Zhao Lan was extremely happy and held the young lady's soft little hand with his backhand, "I only like A Jin in this life."
What do you understand?
Su Ruojin was not disturbed by sweet words and calmly asked again: "Everyone in the capital knows that your mother-in-law picked a wife for you."
Zhao Lan was extremely satisfied when he saw the worried and jealous look on the young lady's face. Sure enough, Ah Jin was also pleased with him.
Su Ruojin...why can't this person understand that he has high eyebrows and low eyes? What are you thinking about?
"Why don't you speak?"
Zhao Lan smiled and said, "How can my mother and concubine prevent you from growing up if you don't bother me?"
Su Ruojin:…
"What's the meaning?"
Zhao Lan took advantage of the young lady's mind on asking questions and squeezed her soft little hand, wishing she could kiss her.
"What's your question?" For some reason, Su Ruojin thought of the Lotus Club, "You're such a scumbag. You invited me to a barbecue in the lotus pond and then had a blind date at home two days later. No one would believe what you said."
Zhao Lan was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, his smile bloomed, "You said you're not jealous?"
No matter what, Su Ruojin turned her eyes at him.
Zhao Lan lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "It's because I knew what kind of lotus flower party my mother was going to hold, that I took you to see the lotus flowers in advance. The only person standing next to me to see the lotus flowers is you, Ajin!"
Low and lingering.
Su Ruojin's heart suddenly started beating wildly.
She raised her eyes.
The young man looked at her deeply with lowered eyebrows and a smile.
Eyes facing each other.
"I..." Su Ruojin wanted to run away.
Zhao Lan didn't let her escape, "Ajin, don't you like me?"
Su Ruojin didn't know how she came back that day. When she came back, she even forgot to take the peppers she missed most, which was sent by Shuangrui.
Looking at this unusual pot of chili peppers, Su Ruojin didn't come back to her senses for a few days. In fact, she didn't care about status at all, but if you follow the Romans, you don't care, the world does.
