The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Opportunity Sponsorship

Su Ruojin turned her face sideways, with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and a smile that was full of anger: "Prince Zhao, if you lose your position, can your Majesty still take over your restaurant and hotpot restaurant?"

Zhao Lan: ...It's silly to ask.

"I mean what if." The young man looked at the smart and lovely girl with emotion in his eyes.

One bent slightly, with a smile on his face.

One of them raised his head slightly, looking pretty and cute.

The breeze blew through, bringing with it the fragrance of osmanthus, and the air was filled with sweetness.

Zhao Lan's head lowered unconsciously, and he was about to get close to the girl's delicate face.

Su Ruojin was so frightened that she woke up and said, "Then...if the little prince doesn't mind having a simple meal, of course there is no problem." Before he could finish his words, he had already run away.

Zhao Lan stood on the side of the road with her hands behind her hands, the corners of her mouth raised, what was she afraid of on the street?

Oh my god, on the street, what did this kid want to do? Su Ruojin felt like she was confused just now, shook her head and laughed, and followed the scent of osmanthus to find it.

After turning two small alleys, I saw a simple courtyard house. There were thirty or forty children inside and outside the door. It turned out to be Yiguang Hall.

The children go to the back alley of the Yamen every day. There is a canteen dedicated to them for lunch every day. They often meet Mr. Su's daughter in the canteen and know that as long as she holds the spoon that day, the food that day will be very good. eat.

So when these children saw her, they were both close to her and felt shy. They stood against the wall and looked at her with a smile.

Yu Shuilian was in the yard when she suddenly felt that the alley was quiet. She walked out curiously and saw the dazzling young lady at a glance. Everyone looked even more dirty in front of her.

"Miss Yu."

"Su... Madam."

Su Ruojin originally wanted to go in and take a look at the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees, but when she saw everyone was so reserved, she gave up and turned around to leave.

All the kids, big and small, stared at her back, admiring and sighing, thinking, how great it would be if they were as beautiful and rich as her!

Suddenly, Su Ruojin seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "Longmao Grain Store is looking for two clerks, two handymen, and a cook. Anyone over the age of thirteen can apply."

The eyes of the little kids lit up after hearing this good news. Some of the taller boys ran away, heading straight for Longmao Grain Store. If they could apply for the job, they would not have to worry about food and accommodation in the future.

Yu Shuilian watched everyone running out of the alley, but she stood still.

In a blink of an eye, there were only children under eight years old left in the alley. She smiled at Yu Shuilian, turned around and left.

Zhao Lan was waiting at the entrance of the alley. When he saw her coming out, he greeted her with a smile.

Su Ruojin was about to talk to him.

A voice came from behind, "Ms. Su!"

She paused and turned to look at her trotting over.

Yu Shuilian stopped three steps away from her, "Su... Madam Su, are you recruiting... a rough girl?"

Su Ruojin shook his head and said, "No move for now."

Li Xiuzhu's incident had a big impact on the Su family. Now, if the Su family recruits people, they will recruit married women or mothers-in-law, and young girls and young ladies will generally not be recruited.

Yu Shuilian was extremely disappointed, her lips turned white.

"Business in various shops in the county is gradually recovering. I think Miss Yu will find a suitable job."

Yu Shuilian stood by the wall, pursing her lips and humming.

Su Ruojin smiled faintly, turned around and walked out of the alley.

Zhao Lan left side by side with her.

Yu Shuilian stared at the back of the handsome man and beautiful woman without moving for a long time.

Zhao and Su walked towards home.

Zhao Lan said, "Are you giving Yiguangtang's children a chance?"

“Opportunities go both ways.”

"Both directions."

"Yes." Su Ruojin said, "My uncle is here to bring stewards and accountants this time. We have to recruit clerks and handymen anyway. Why not give these children a chance and reduce the burden on the Yamen."

"After all, you are your brother-in-law, helping your father reduce his burden."

hey-hey! Su Ruojin did not deny it, but smiled and said, "Don't interrupt me. It's been half a month since I asked you just now. Why don't you go back to Beijing?"

Zhao Lan raised his head slightly and looked at the blue sky, "Yang Jingzi launched a large-scale prison and took away the jobs of our Imperial City Department, Dali Temple, and Jing Zhaoyin. What do you think?"

Su Ruojin was startled and remained silent for a moment before asking softly, "Did the Holy One give his tacit approval?"

Without the emperor's acquiescence, there would be no treacherous officials in the world.

Although Zhao Lan didn't say anything, his silent attitude said everything. He even said, "Originally, my father took over as the clan leader, but now..." He has been replaced by someone else.

Su Ruojin looked at Zhao Lan in surprise, "The Daxing Prison is not just about excluding dissidents, right?"

He knew the little lady was smart, "Your guess is correct."

"Brother Jin, I didn't say anything, how do you know what I'm going to say?"

Zhao Lan glanced at her, as if I knew what you were thinking.

Su Ruojin:…

Staring at him angrily, he sighed, "Why did you come up with such a way to make money? This will be reviled by future generations."

There is nothing that an emperor who dares to re-appoint the man who killed the prince cannot do. Now the Jin Palace has begun to withdraw from the world. His father has given up almost all his duties and is retiring at home.

And in the eyes of the people in the capital, he was just a **** who chased the young lady everywhere.

Of course, Su Ruojin definitely didn't know what kind of image Zhao Lan gave people in the upper class circles in Beijing. She simply couldn't believe that a Huangdi could be so comatose. For some reason, he felt that the King of Wei who fled to South Vietnam might seize the opportunity. Take him down.

But if asked, it would be a different story.

"Brother Jin, besides King Wei who escaped, there is also King Yan, right?"

"Yeah." "He is now..."

"I ask you to guard the mausoleum for the rest of your life and never leave the boundaries of the imperial mausoleum."

Su Ruojin felt that the news she heard today was more and more explosive, "To save my life?"

Well…

Zhao Lan, who was in a low mood, almost closed his mouth in shock at the young lady's words. He dared to say such words, so he dared to listen.

He shook his head helplessly, "Who doesn't want to live?"

"The emperor believed it."

"Yes." Zhao Lan replied, "The main reason is that King Yan has been mediocre since he was born."

"Perhaps his mediocrity is fake?" Su Ruojin brought up the conspiracy theories of later generations.

Zhao Lan thought carefully for a moment, "King Yan, he wanted to show his good and smart side, but it backfired. Everyone thought that he had mediocre qualifications and could not become an emperor."

Su Ruojin clicked her tongue, "Maybe."

He felt that these things were far away from him, but when he looked at Zhao Lan, he realized that these things were very close to him. He was so worried that he couldn't help but said with concern, "Brother Jin, if you go back to the capital, be careful."

"I know." Zhao Lan couldn't help but want to hold the little lady's hand. Before he could take action, Su Yanzu and Shangguanyu walked slowly out of the alley.

At the crossroads, four people met.

Su and Shangguan hurriedly came over to salute, "Little Prince—"

Zhao Lan signaled that they were welcome.

Su Ruojin glanced deep into the alley. This was where Shangguanyu lived. Then she looked at the expressions of the two of them. They seemed to be nothing special and normal. If she hadn't known what the relationship between the two had been, most people would have looked past them. Passing by, there was nothing unusual about it.

Did they really break up peacefully?

for what? Has time diluted everything? Or the patient Princess Yuehua in Beijing?

Although Su Ruojin was gossiping, she could only smile in her heart and face, "Uncle, things are on the right track here. You are going back to Beijing soon."

"Are we burning bridges across rivers, or are we eating too much of your food?"

Su Ruojin rolled her eyes and said, "You eat three meals a day at my house. Do you think I dislike it?"

"Haha..." Su Yanzu raised his head and laughed. She was really his little niece.

Really speechless.

Su Ruojin didn't care about him and asked Shangguan Yu, "Now you can mention the private school matter to my father. I can evaluate whatever place Shangguan Gong has set his sights on."

Shangguanyu said, "Don't be in a hurry. I won't be too late to mention it when everyone in the Yamen is summoned."

Su Yanzu sighed, Yu Qing had already told him his idea, and the only thing he could do to help him now was to provide him with some money.

Seeing him like this, Su Ruojin asked, "Uncle, do you know?"

He nodded, "I'm going to donate a thousand taels."

"I will also sponsor a thousand taels."

Zhao Lan followed, "I will pay two thousand taels."

Shangguanyu:…

The three big guys rushed to donate money, which frightened him and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I don't want this much."

Under Su Yanli's rule, the private school was well-run for the public, benefiting the country and the people, and privately. This was Su Yanli's political achievement, so Su Ruojin would definitely sponsor this amount of money.

"No, I really can't," Shangguanyu said, "Except for the house rent, which costs two hundred taels a year, the other tables and chairs don't cost much."

"Books are expensive!"

Ancient books are really expensive, and those without financial resources can't afford them.

There is no humble family in the upper class, and there is no powerful family in the lower class. —"Book of Jin·Biography of Liu Yi"

The so-called poor families in the past were not ordinary poor people, but families with lower status and influence. Most of them were ordinary small and medium-sized landowners, which was equivalent to the so-called middle class later. Therefore, a poor family was also a family, and it was not something that ordinary people could easily cross. of.

Shangguanyu still waved his hand, "I really can't do it anymore."

Su Ruojin was thoughtful, "Master Shangguan, according to your original intention, you should not only let these children read and learn calligraphy and reason, but also teach them abacus, right?"

Shangguanyu was born as a merchant, so he knew these practicalities and was willing to teach the children.

"yes."

"Then you definitely can't teach them by yourself, so why not hire two or three more, and the money will be used as your salary for them."

"this…"

In fact, Su Ruojin has other small ideas, but the private school has not been set up yet, mainly because the current situation is not very good. Su Ruojin feels that he cannot become fat even if he eats one meal, so he will do it step by step.

It was almost noon, and several people were about to arrive at the yard rented by the Su family.

Only then did Su Ruojin come back to her senses, "Uncle, are you coming to my house to eat?"

Su Yanzu smiled proudly at his niece and said, "Why not?"

Something is wrong! Something is very wrong. It doesn't look like we are here to break up.

Su Ruojin couldn't help but look at the two of them.

Guanyu's face turned red.

Su Yanzu:…

What's this look like from my little niece?

Well!

If you're hungry, let's eat first.

Mother Dong is here and her cooking skills are good, so the food she cooks is no worse than Su Ruojin's.

"Eat, eat first."
