The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Firefly Chicken Feathers

what's the situation?

At the door of the inn, Su Ruojin stopped, turned around and asked, "Are you on vacation?"

Zhao Lan slowly looked up at the stars while replying to the young lady's words, "Almost!"

What's the meaning?

Could it be that her disappearance caused punishment from the court or the Holy Emperor?

The dark sky was filled with shining stars, which looked particularly dazzling. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and its faint light covers everything like a thin veil, hazy and beautiful!

Facing us, the summer night wind blew slowly, especially fresh and cool.

The frogs in the pond kept chirping, the weavers in the grass chirped again and again, and not far away, fireflies flew towards us in a flash, which was very beautiful.

Zhao Lan stretched out his hand and grabbed one, brought it to the little lady, and slowly opened his slender fingers, revealing a tiny flickering firefly.

"Give it to you, Ah Jin!"

Su Ruojin didn't take it and frowned, "What are you asking? Is it because of me?"

The young lady's eyes were full of concern and anxiety. Zhao Lan smiled softly, took her little hand and put the firefly in her palm, "Hold it, don't let it fly away."

This guy Feng Qingyun is very calm and relaxed, and he can't tell what's going on? Su Ruojin reached out and held the firefly. After walking for a long time, she went to the inn.

"Would you like to catch a few more?"

Su Ruojin:…

You're almost starving to death, and you're still catching fireflies? Su Ruojin had no strength: "I want to catch you." After saying that, he turned around and entered the inn.

Zhao Lan:…

He actually reached out and caught a few more.

Shuangrui stepped forward and, like magic, took out a cage made of grass stems and put a few fireflies in it. The fluorescent light shone through the small holes, which was quite interesting.

Zhao Lan carried it and happily entered the inn.

Huaping: ...Does it mean that to capture the heart of a young lady, you must first have a long follower who can weave straw cages?

Ye Huaizhen: ...The noble, indifferent and unconventional young master even catches fireflies for the sake of his young lady. Why does it look so unreal?

Shuangrui followed his master, but was pulled aside by Huaping, "Arui, weave one for me." He also wanted to catch fireflies for Ye Huaizhen, and maybe he could marry him home during the Chinese New Year this year.

Shuang Rui glanced at him and stretched out his hand to make a gesture, which meant, one tael of silver for a straw cage.

Huaping glared at him, why didn't he grab the money?

Shuangrui smiled proudly, held his head high and entered the inn.

Huaping looked at Xiaojun Wang again without believing in evil. He just had a noble status and outstanding appearance. He could also please the young lady. Fortunately, he only liked Su Erniang, a small tree with a crooked neck. Otherwise, there would still be ordinary people like them. thing.

It was an August day, and the morning and evening were cold. Su Ruojin entered the inn lobby. Hot and cold collided, and she sneezed three times in a row. "Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?"

Huaping outside the door:…

"Ajin, what are you talking about?" Zhao Lan didn't hear the little lady talking to herself clearly, so she approached her, raised her hand, and a beautiful shining grass cage appeared in her sight.

*@ο@*)Wow~, you made it up?"

Zhao Lan avoided the important and took the easy: "Do you like it?"

Who doesn't love these exquisite gadgets? They have long forgotten how hungry their stomachs are, and they reach out to take them, carrying the small cage and twisting the rope around with their fingers.

Zhao Lan lowered his head with a doting look on his face.

A fairy-like guest suddenly arrived in the dusty little inn, and the boss personally greeted him.

Shuang Rui stood in front of the master and said, "To make a living and eat, the room should be the best, and so should the food."

Opening an inn on the official road in the capital, the boss has seen the world and knows that he is a noble person in charge. He quickly nodded and bowed down and asked his waiters and busboys to quickly entertain the guests.

Enjoying the convenience brought by the little prince's stewardship, Mao Ya can't even stare now. She really has a short mouth and a short hand when taking advantage of others.

The angrier the thin girl became, the more Shuangrui told them to stay away. Mao Ya wanted to knock her out with a stone to give the young master some time alone with Mrs. Su.

Since Zhao Lan confessed his love, Su Ruojin no longer deliberately alienated her, and the equality she had in her previous life was unconsciously released, treating him as a friend instead of a condescending little prince.

Chatting with him while eating, "Brother Jin, how many days will you rest?"

I have known the young lady for seven years. She was either Zhao Xiaojunwang or Xiaojunwang. She only dared to call her "Brother Zhao" when she was trying to intimidate or please. Suddenly, she was replaced by Brother Jin. Zhao Lan smiled when she heard this.

"How many days does Ajin want me to rest?"

Seeing the young man smiling, Su Ruojin's eyes widened, "I'm telling you something serious."

"Oh." Zhao Lan deliberately drawled, "It depends on your mood."

Su Ruojin: ...Okay, you are awesome.

She thought to herself that Zhao Lan was probably just reporting good things but not bad things, and he didn't intend to tell her how bad the situation was.

It's all for her!

Su Ruojin couldn't help but give him a piece of vegetable, "Brother Jin, eat more."

This was the first time that the young lady took the initiative to bring him food, and she didn't use serving chopsticks!

Zhao Lan was so happy that he immediately ate the food brought by the young lady. There was still a trace of the past in his happy look. If they hadn't grown up together, Su Ruojin would have suspected that they were someone else.

A simple and rough inn dinner was turned into delicious food and wine by a pair of young lovers.

At the next table, Hua Ping almost lost his teeth after seeing this. Are excellent people excellent at everything? How can he live? No wonder he hasn't found a wife at the age of thirty. It's really right!

After dinner, Su Ruojin was going to rest, but Zhao Lan pulled her out to catch fireflies.

Su Ruojin didn't want to go, so he held her tightly: "It's August, so there shouldn't be any fireflies. It's a rare encounter. Let's catch a few more."

Are all teenagers so romantic? Su Ruojin didn't know if anyone else was there. Anyway, she was dragged out by Zhao Lan and went crazy for a while before taking Lu Shui back to her room to rest.

I slept until the next day. When I got up, I saw that the fireflies in the grass cage were almost dying, and I couldn't bear to let them go.

Hua Ping asked in surprise, "This is the little prince's wish. Why did you let it go?"

"I have already taken his thoughts into consideration. Is there any problem?"

Put...into your heart...

Are all young ladies today so straightforward and fierce?

Zhao Lan was originally a little angry when he saw the young lady letting go of the fireflies, but when he heard the young lady say, "Keep it in your heart," he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips and came over happily.

"Set off."

At noon, the group arrived at Weizhou County.

Su Ruojin discovered that in other areas, most of the land was deserted due to drought, but in the Weizhou area, many fields were growing vegetables. She went to the fields and took a look, and found that they were all vegetables with a short growth period, such as chicken feathers and water spinach. , coriander, peas, a piece of green.

Zhao Lan didn't know much about farming, so he just looked at the scenery along the way.

Su Ruojin had a look of surprise on her face. Her father had done a good job as a parent!

When I got home, it was dinner time. Su Yanli happened to be at home. When he saw his daughter back, he was so happy that he yelled "Ah Jin... Ah Jin..." he shouted several times before stopping.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Cheng Yingzhen laughed and said, "When you come back, you don't ask someone to come back and say hello in advance, so that Qiuyue can buy more food." Su Ruojin stepped forward and hugged her mother, and said to Su Yanli, "Dad, the little prince is on vacation, come here to play. a few days.”

Su Yanli had already seen Zhao Lan, stood up with a smile, and raised his hands to salute.

Zhao Lan preceded him and bowed, "Zijin has met the teacher and his wife."

Cheng Yingzhen patted her daughter, asked her to let go, and returned Zhao Lan's gift.

"There's nothing at home. Let's just eat something. Please don't be offended by the little prince."

"You're welcome, Master."

Su San, Si Lang, and Su Xiaomei all came down from the table and saluted, "I've met Brother Zhao."

Qiuyue took advantage of them to salute, quickly cleared the table, rearranged the dishes and served them.

After they had bowed, they found that although there were not many dishes, they were all clean and tidy and ready to serve guests.

Everyone was polite again, and finally sat down to eat.

It was really a casual meal at noon, because Mother Dong was back, so in the evening, Qiuyue took the girl and the old lady to prepare a good reception feast.

On the way down, Su Yanli did not rush to the Yamen to run errands. Instead, he and Zhao Lan chatted alone in the study for a long time. I don't know what they talked about. Su Ruojin didn't ask. Zhao Lan really stayed here anyway.

At dinner, Su Yanli came back from the Yamen and brought Mr. Pei, Shangguanyu and others to a large table for a sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, Su Yanli took all the men to the study.

Su Ruojin settled in Mother Dong's residence and told Cheng Yingzhen about Su Dalang's arrangements in the capital. "It's safe and sound to live in the Imperial College. Mother, don't worry. Just wait until my brother is admitted to the imperial examination in three years."

"That's that easy." Cheng Yingzhen scolded her daughter.

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Of course an eighteen-year-old Juren master can give birth to an eighteen-year-old Juren."

Cheng Yingzhen nodded her daughter's head, "You are causing trouble here."

Su Ruojin put her head on her mother's shoulder and laughed. Su Xiaomei was jealous and came over to squeeze in, trying to steal her mother's arms and shoulders.

"You are here to cause mischief too." Cheng Yingzhen pointed to her youngest daughter, "If you don't learn from others, I will be as naughty as your sister."

"I want to learn." Su Ruyi was naughty and confident, grabbing Cheng Yingzhen's legs and getting into her arms.

The three mothers were making a fuss.

Chunxiao called from the door, "Jin Niang, I'm calling you."

"What did dad ask me to do?"

"This slave doesn't know."

Cheng Yingzhen urged her, "Your father must have something to ask you."

Su Ruojin stood up and said, "Mom, how is Mr. Pei?"

Cheng Yingzhen said, "Your father said it's very good."

Oh, then she felt relieved, straightened her clothes, and went to the study.

Su Wumei wanted to follow, but Cheng Yingzhen held her back, "Your father has to do business, so don't make trouble."

"Why can sister go?" The little girl was unconvinced.

Cheng Yingzhen wanted to reason with her, but Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Mom, let her follow."

Regardless of whether he is a younger brother or a younger sister, Su Ruojin hopes that they can all receive education. Whether this education is a formal private school, an academy, or the bits and pieces of daily life, it is all accumulated.

She lowered her head and said to her sister, "Sister, I can take you, but you are young now and you only listen and don't talk nonsense, you know?"

As long as she could enter her father's study, Su Xiaomei was very happy and agreed to anything. She jumped up and down to her father's study with her sister.

Cheng Yingzhen sighed happily, the two children.

In the study, Mr. Pei told Zhao Lan, "The little prince is qualified to go to court. I wonder if the court has mentioned the lack of food. Autumn planting is coming soon, but the farmers don't have a single seed in their hands. If the season comes, If we don't plant it, there will be a serious famine next spring.”

Zhao Lan had never been exposed to farming. Besides, even if he understood it, it was not his responsibility. He had nothing to say about it. On the outside, he sat calmly, looking like a superior was listening.

Hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyelids and looked at the door. When he saw the young lady, his stern face softened instantly, with a slight smile on her face.

Su Ruojin came in and said a long blessing first, and then asked, "Dad, you are looking for me."

"Ajin, on the way back, did you see what was planted in the ground?"

She nodded and said with a smile, "My daughter just thinks that her father is so wise and powerful that he even planted vegetables on all the wasteland."

Su Yanli was so praised by his daughter that he said, "I asked my father to buy vegetable seeds from several counties around here, but this vegetable cannot be used as food, and it still cannot solve the food problem. I want to ask the little prince to help with the autumn harvest." Planted seeds.”

Su Ruojin: ...could her father have found the wrong person?

She looked at Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan nodded in agreement, "I'll find a way."

Su Yanli quickly stood up and thanked him.

Mr. Pei and Shangguanyu also saluted.

How could Zhao Lan let his future father-in-law salute, stand up and help him up, "Teacher, you're welcome."

Unexpectedly, his big problem would be solved as soon as his daughter came back. Su Yanli was very happy and asked with a smile, "Ajin, how much of the vegetables grown by farmers can our shop absorb?"

That's tens of thousands of acres, and her father is really brave enough to think about it.

"Dad, I only have two shops, so I can't absorb much."

"Then the little prince..." The idea was to go to Zhao Lan's restaurant and hotpot restaurant again.

Zhao Lan:…

Su Ruojin couldn't laugh or cry, "Dad, don't worry, no matter how many vegetables the people of Weizhou County have, I will be responsible for selling them so that they can have money to buy seeds for autumn planting."

Su Yanli did have this idea, but if his daughter really said that, he felt sorry for his daughter, "Ajin, it doesn't matter if you can't sell it, just let the farmers eat it as food. Anyway, I didn't leave the land empty."

Su Yanli was not a real farmer. Although he was a concubine, the Su family was also a wealthy country gentry and had almost no contact with farming. Logically speaking, he should not be so sensitive to farming. However, his daughter was planting vegetables in the yard, which inspired him to Otherwise, he would not plant vegetables on all the wasteland.

It stands to reason that farmers should not leave their land uncultivated, but in this dynasty, the land used to grow food is used to grow food. If farmers use it to grow vegetables, they will be punished by the government, so in this case Next, even if someone wants to plant it, no one dares to plant it.

As the parent official, Su Yanli allowed the seeds to be planted and personally purchased the seeds for farmers to plant, so Weizhou County was lush and green.

When Su Ruojin saw these dishes, she was already interested in them. Unexpectedly, her father mentioned them first.

This time I returned to the capital. Due to the drought, the large city of Bianjing was actually in short supply of food, meat, and vegetables. In the hot summer, let alone ancient times, even in modern times, vegetables are not available. Su Yanli couldn't be more lucky to get the vegetables he needed to get rid of the famine!

What are you waiting for? Just do it.

The first thing to move is of course the chicken feathers with the shortest growth period!

Bianjing City, we are back!
