The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Scolding my brother-in-law for getting married

It was almost noon when they returned to their new home in Beijing. The Su family was going to the shop for dinner. Just as they were packing up and getting ready to go out, Zhao Lan's carriage arrived and he personally came to take people to a restaurant to eat.

"Brother Jin, don't be so troublesome."

Su Yanli also said, "Zijin can be busy with whatever she needs to do."

Zhao Lan is different now than before. During the late emperor's time, many things were taken away from his power because of Yang Jingzi, but it is different now. Whether he was in the imperial city inspection department or when he was sent to fight as a general, his performance was very outstanding. After being reused by the new emperor, in addition to being restored to his official position, he also served as the deputy commander in front of the palace. He had the same real power as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department.

Even though he was his future son-in-law, Su Yanli was often unhappy when he saw someone trying to steal his daughter, but this was a father's little thought. Compared with business matters, he could still prioritize things.

Zhao Lan saluted his future father-in-law, "Teacher, don't worry too much, it's just time for a meal."

Now that the future son-in-law is here, the Su family went to his restaurant with Zhao Lan.

As soon as they came out of the alley, a woman with messy hair and wrinkled clothes pulled the carriage, "Azhen... Mrs. Su... please save your brother-in-law..."

Who?

Su Sanlang thought someone had stopped the wrong carriage, so he reached out and opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, "Mom, why didn't I hear you say you have a sister? Did you stop the wrong carriage?"

Hearing this voice, Cheng Yingzhen also felt very strange. She had not interacted with Uncle Cheng's house for a long time, and she had asked Shi Baogui, the waiter of the Shi family, to send gifts for the New Year and holidays.

In the past two years, the current situation has been turbulent or I have been working as a county magistrate. I have almost forgotten what my parents' family is like.

She got out of the carriage with her skirt raised in confusion, looked at the woman blocking the front of the carriage, and looked carefully.

Whether out of guilt or embarrassment, the woman repeatedly raised her hands to cover her face, avoiding the beautiful woman wearing luxurious clothes.

Su Ruojin guessed the person Cheng Yingzhen didn't recognize, "Mrs. Yao?"

Being recognized, Cheng Yuzhu was so embarrassed that she almost found a hole in the ground to crawl in. However, thinking of her husband being arrested in the Dali Temple Prison, she couldn't bear the embarrassment and crawled over to Cheng Yingzhen, "Azhen... Mrs. Su, Please, please let Prince Zhao save our officials, please..."

Su Ruojin raised her eyes and saw Zhao Lan sitting on the horse, too lazy to get down.

She guessed that Cheng Yuzhu knew that Zhao Lan was married to her and considered him a relative, so she asked Zhao Lan to help rescue his man. But who Zhao Lan was, that was all she could ask for, so she followed quietly. He didn't expect to meet them when they returned to Beijing.

Shuangrui stood beside her and whispered about the original relationship. Sure enough, she guessed it correctly.

She asked in a low voice, "What happened to the Marquis Cheng Mansion?"

Shuangrui replied: "The people in the Chenghou Mansion were the late emperor's team, and they sent a daughter to the late emperor. As a result, they even got beauties. After the new emperor ascended the throne, all the women of the late emperor were sent to the cold palace to work as coolies."

No wonder that when the late emperor was in power last year, people from Uncle Cheng's Mansion did not come to suppress the Su family. It turned out that they were not welcome in the palace, so Su Ruojin continued to listen.

"After the Holy One came to the throne, many people did not investigate and suppress many things. However, the third son of the Chenghou Mansion, Mrs. Yao's official, was accused of gambling before the Holy One, so he was convicted."

So that's it.

There are three things to do when a new official takes office, and the same goes for a new emperor when he ascends the throne. Isn't this a rush to death?

It's a joke, let's not talk about the past grievances and grudges, whether Su Yanli and his wife are willing to help, even if you think about it, why Su Yanli, a seventh-grade sesame officer, asked Zhao Lan to help her, is really bizarre.

Su Yanli protected his wife from Cheng Yuzhu, who was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. "Mrs. Yao, I'm sorry that I can't do anything." After that, he half-hugged his wife and turned around to get into the carriage.

Seeing that the last straw was about to float away, Cheng Yuzhu reached out and grabbed the corner of Cheng Yingzhen's clothes, "Azhen, Azhen, I was wrong, I even knelt down for you, just save your brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't let you save me in vain, as long as you save your brother-in-law, I will ask your parents to treat you well and let you sit in the chair every time you come home during the holidays.”

Go home and take the main seat? Cheng Yingzhen was laughed at by her. She was about to get on the carriage, but stopped and turned back.

Looking down at her once domineering and glorious eldest sister, she said, "Have you ever thought about this day when my sister bullied me into kneeling in the snow, asked the girl to poke me with needles, and beat me with canes until I was covered with bruises?"

"I..." Cheng Yuzhu subconsciously moved back.

Cheng Yingzhen sneered again and again, squatting down and staring into her eyes, "If it weren't for secular etiquette, I would have broken off our relationship with you for eight lifetimes. You still let me take the lead during the New Year and the holidays, bah."

She reached out and poked the other person in the face, "If I were you, I wouldn't come here at all. Are you trying to make me vent my anger and scold me?"

"Azhen, as long as you can save the official, you can vent your anger and curse as much as you like, even if you want me to die, I'm willing to do it."

Cheng Yingzhen was stunned.

Cheng Yuzhu thought Cheng Yingzhen was soft-hearted and asked to come forward, but was blocked by Shuangrui's knife.

Cheng Yingzhen took a deep breath, shook her head, and stood up, "It turns out that sister is not born cold-blooded. She can trade her life for her officials, but she can kill her concubine at will. It turns out that it's not that she has no family affection, but I don't deserve it."

It was so obvious that Cheng Yingzhen turned around indifferently.

Su Yanli pulled his injured wife over and said, "Azhen, you have me."

"Officer."

The couple hugged each other tightly.

Seeing that their mother was sad, Su Sanlang and Su Silang hurriedly went up and said, "Mom, there's still me."

"And me."

"Sanlang, Shiro."

Zhao Lan jumped off the carriage at some point, stood next to Su Ruojin, reached out to hold her hand, his eyes full of affection, you have me.

Su Ruojin: ...Brother, we haven't officially made an appointment yet, so that's not good!

One by one, they showed affection in front of her and showed that their lives were rich and happy. The irritated and helpless Cheng Yuzhu screamed, held her head and ran away, "Ah...ah..." She didn't want to see it, she didn't want to see it, I am the one who is above and has everything. The legitimate daughter of beautiful things, no...no...no...

Cheng Yuzhu ran straight like crazy, and the people she hit hit her with their hands. From a distance, she looked like a drowned dog. It was really... the wind and water were changing, no one would be spared.

Su Ruojin asked Shuang Rui, who was riding beside the carriage, "Shuang Rui, how are the Chenghou Mansion and Cheng Bo Mansion now?"

"Although Your Majesty didn't do anything to the other people in the Chenghou Mansion, they have lost their favor now. It is estimated that they will fall to the bottom of society in three to five years. As for Uncle Cheng's Mansion, your grandfather's family has been separated into separate families. However, I guess I have fallen to the bottom now and have to worry about three meals a day.”

"So fast?"

Wouldn't it be said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse?

"It's not a serious errand. Just eating, drinking and having **** with the whole family. Don't you have to spend money?"

Su Ruojin:…

As a little lady who has been in charge of the family since she was six years old, she has the most say. Her father has a serious official position and it is not enough, let alone not having one. Those days are really difficult every day.

"Mom, do you feel relieved to hear that they are not doing well?"

Cheng Yingzhen smiled weakly, "My life has been peaceful and happy. I have long forgotten those sad years and those people. There is nothing to relieve my anger."

Su Ruojin gave a thumbs up, "Mom is right."

Don't always think about the past, and don't always want to prove something. No matter whether you think or prove something, you are stuck in the past, internally conflicting with yourself, and wasting your life.

Life is an irreversible journey. If you always hold on to the past and don't reconcile with yourself, do you have to wait until you grow old to find out that you have been lonely in this life? It is really not worth it.

Everyone forgot about the unhappy things just now, and had a delicious meal in Zhao Lan's restaurant. After the meal, Zhao Lan was also thoughtful and let them stay in the restaurant to rest, otherwise they would have to go there tomorrow. Seeing Su Dekai and his wife, Zhao Lan didn't let them come back after dinner.

Zhao Lan sent the Su family back to their new home.

Su Ruojin sent Zhao Lan out.

"You really don't want to keep me?"

"No stay."

Su Ruojin reached out and tapped his heart, "Prince Zhao, we are all getting engaged. We need to avoid suspicion, do you understand?"

Zhao Lan was dissatisfied and squeezed her little hand.

"Hiss." It really hurt to be pinched by this guy, so Su Ruojin lowered her head and bit him.

Now it was Zhao Lan's turn to say, "Ah Jin, you are a puppy."

"Yeah, you just know it now?"

The little lady's proud look was so greedy. Under the moonlight, she looked like a seductive little spirit. Zhao Lan's Adam's apple moved again and again, but she finally suppressed her heartbeat. She only took the little hand that was pinched by him, lowered her head and kissed it, "This time It doesn't hurt anymore.”

"Well, it doesn't hurt anymore." Su Ruojin felt sleepy, took out her hand and bowed to him, "Brother Jin, good night."

No peace, he couldn't sleep tonight, he really wanted to take the little lady home.

Zhao Lan was reluctantly pushed into the carriage by the young lady, and headed back home with excitement and sadness. Early the next morning, the Su family did not have breakfast, and the family went to Su Ji's shop.

Dashi and others had not seen their host for two months, so they were all very happy and hurriedly served their host the best breakfast.

The shop is running smoothly, which is really good. Su Yanli and his wife praised the Feng brothers and Xianggui, "Do a good job. When you want to go it alone, just let me know. Not only will I not stop you, I will also choose the location and varieties for you."

Upon hearing this, several people thought that their boss thought they were not doing well, so they were frightened and promised repeatedly that they had no such intention.

Su Ruojin: ...She really wants them to become bigger and stronger!

It took a lot of talking to convince them that he was not chasing them away, or that he was in a hurry to see his grandfather, and that he would still be entangled.

On the way, Su Ruojin asked, "Aunt Ye, I didn't mean that."

"You haven't, but your ideas are several steps ahead of theirs. They haven't caught up yet, and they think you dislike them for not doing well, and indirectly want to expel them."

Su Ruojin: ...Have they not caught up with their ideas?

When I saw Su Dekai and his wife again, they were not as old and desolate as when they left four years ago. Although they were old, they were in good spirits. Their son, Princess Shang, made their faces glow. This was a matter of honoring their ancestors.

As soon as he came up, Su's father blamed his son, "Ah Li, why didn't you tell us about Ah Jin's engagement to the little prince? If you had known, I would have brought a car full of good furniture from Pingjiang Mansion."

Pingjiang Prefecture is rich, so many dowries are high-end and affordable.

Su Yanli and his wife had forgotten their family of origin and lived a small life of their own. When they left four years ago, Su Dekai still hated his eldest son for not persuading his son. Four years later, his face had changed again. He was in a good mood and everything was good. good.

It's a pity that Su Yanli didn't need his father's good mood. He looked calm and politely thanked him, "Father and mother should put their thoughts on Adi. After all, we are Princess Shang, so we can't be careless."

The implication of his words is that you should pay attention to your biological son. As the eldest son of a concubine, you can treat me as an ordinary relative!

Su Dekai and his wife were really in a good mood and didn't hear what their son was saying. They left the eldest son's family to have lunch and dinner, and they wanted to let them stay.

"You live here and your family is popular. If people from the Princess Mansion come over, we can control it, right?"

It turned out that Su Dekai had this purpose, but Su Yanli only regarded himself as an ordinary relative and did not want to have in-depth contact with them. He refused, "I have been working as an official outside and left Da Lang in the Imperial College. This time I come back and let him have daily contact with them." Come back in the evening and prepare for tutoring so that he can participate in this year's autumn festival.

Su Dalang was sixteen, and it was time to take the imperial examination.

The eldest son deliberately distanced himself, and Su Dekai wanted to get angry. After all, after his son married the princess, he would become the young minister of Honglu Temple. That was a fourth-grade official position, which was much higher than the eldest son's official position.

Just when he was about to get angry, his younger son glanced over with a warning look, and Su Dekai suppressed his anger.

"Okay, since you don't want to help your only brother, I won't force you."

Su Yanli pretended not to hear.

Su Ruojin looked at his uncle and curled his lips coldly.

Su Yanzu had a headache and stood up, "Dad, I'm going to see my brother off."

After that, without looking at his parents' faces, he politely sent Su Yanli and his family out the door with a smile.

Su Ruojin walked side by side with her uncle. She snorted coldly, "Uncle, from now on you will be the young minister of Honglu Temple. You won't and can't look down on my father."

Su Yanzu laughed, "If it weren't for my identity as Lord Ma, would I be able to take the position of Young Minister of Honglu Temple in just one move? Besides, I can take the position of Young Minister of Honglu Temple. The logistics supply for the Holy Spirit's war last year, you It's also a great contribution, if you weren't a young lady, you would have even been granted an official title.”

Su Yanli turned around and said, "Ajin, I didn't hear what you said when you got home."

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "My uncle is short of accounting room, so I helped him calculate the accounts for half a month. It's a piece of cake."

"You kid." Su Yanli was finally willing to put aside his wife, walked to his daughter, stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder like a father, "I don't know you yet, small things can be praised to the sky, but really they are huge. Things were said to be unworthy of mention.”

"Brother is very subtle, but that's not the case with my eldest niece."

It was rare for the two brothers to sing together.

Su Ruojin:…

After walking outside the door, Su Yanzu asked his brother and his wife to take the children into the carriage first. He had a few words to say to his little niece alone.

When Su Ruojin was left behind, she knew what her uncle wanted to ask.

But when they were left alone, he hesitated to speak.

"If you don't ask, I have to leave. My parents are still waiting in the carriage."

Su Yanzu sighed and looked up at the sky.

It's almost fifteen, and the moon is round and bright, and the light it casts is cool and quiet.

"How...is he?"

"Great."

Well? The niece replied so quickly that Su Yanzu turned to look at her, "Really?"

Su Ruojin nodded.

After hearing the news that he was doing well, Su Yanzu seemed to feel a lot more relaxed, "I'm sorry for him."

"Of course."

Well?

Su Yanzu laughed, "Ajin, my uncle has admitted that he is not good, so please stop hitting me."

Su Ruojin couldn't help but curl her lips, "A scumbag who always gives up."

"Yes, you are right about scolding." Su Yanzu looked at the moon again with a look of silence on his face.

The moon waxes and wanes, but there will always be a gap between him and Shangguanyu.

For some reason, when she saw her brother-in-law, she wanted to scold him, but when she saw that his brother-in-law was really sad, Su Ruojin couldn't help but comfort him, "I have already scolded Mr. Shangguan. From now on, my brother-in-law can live his life how he wants." Well, otherwise how can we be worthy of your shared life and death?"

The eldest niece is still soft-hearted.

Su Yanzu thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Ajin."

"Thank me for what I did." Su Ruojin said loudly, "I'm going home." After saying that, it was time for her to go home.

Su Yanzu looked at his eldest niece's back until she got on the carriage and disappeared from his sight.

Wander in the moonlight and let your mind fly.

Time is moving forward around the fingers, the years are empty of sadness, and the vicissitudes of life are missing the annual rings. The scenery in the eyes, the smile in the ears, and the lover who is drifting away, all fall into the light and shadow of the passing years.

Looking up at the bright moon again, the evening wind blew by, blowing away whose fleeting years.

Ayu, please cherish it for the rest of your life!

Although Princess Yuehua was getting married for the second time, she was a royal princess after all, and the wedding was as complicated and grand. Although the Su family did not live in the Su Mansion, they still lived in the Su Mansion on March 15, the day before the wedding day. Moreover, Su Yanli found many former students to be Su Yanzu's best men when planning their wedding.

Su Xiangheng from Dongshan Academy also brought friends to help. Suddenly, the Su Mansion was bustling with activity. Su Yanzu's mother Qian was too busy. Not only was Cheng Yingzhen arrested, but Su Ruojin was also spared. Even though there was still not enough manpower, Zhao Lan transferred Servants from Prince Jin's Mansion came over to help.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first royal happy event of the Dayin Dynasty was the marriage of Princess Yuehua. During the invasion of Liaoxia Kingdom last year, Princess Yuehua not only provided strength, but also provided people. She won the respect of the emperor, so during the noon banquet, the emperor came to the consort. He went to the palace to observe the ceremony in person. He did not return to the palace until the wedding ceremony was over.

This gave a huge signal to the upper class in Beijing that Princess Yuehua and his wife were valued by the new emperor, and it would definitely be a good thing to be friends with them.

This wedding went from the Su Mansion to the Princess Mansion, and then from the Princess Mansion to Fu Ma Mansion. It took five days before it stopped.

The Su family was extremely tired.

Cheng Yingzhen almost couldn't straighten up due to fatigue, but she looked very excited. Su Ruojin was so frightened that she wanted to find a doctor for her, but her mother slapped her several times, "You kid, what are you doing, making such a fuss."

"Mom, this is Princess Yuehua's wedding. If someone doesn't know, they would think it's you."

"Stinky girl, keep talking nonsense." Cheng Yingzhen wanted to hit someone with the sole of her shoe.

"Then why are your eyes so bright and why are you so excited?"

"Of course I learned something from this marriage that I never learned before."

Cheng Yingzhen didn't learn anything from her natal family. In the past few years, when her health was not good, Su Ruojin was the head of the house. In the past two years, Su Ruojin slowly let go. She grew up very fast and learned whenever she had the chance. Now she is almost a qualified head of the house. Mistress.

Su Ruojin pursed her lips, "Then you can't be so busy that your back is bent."
