The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 263

Chapter 263 The first group of guests

It's really strange. The Ning family brothers and sisters seemed to have eyes. After the farmhouse was completed, they came over. She thought that only Ning Ning and Zhong Wanhui came over, but she didn't expect that Ning Qilang and several young people were already eating in the dining hall.

The shopkeeper Ye Huaizhen stepped forward and said, "Little boss, aren't you still worried about when you will have guests? Hey, aren't these people here?"

Ning Qilang is so free? Actually came to Shangala to eat?

Su Ruojin clicked her tongue, shook her head, and asked Mother Dong to bring her a bowl of mixed noodles.

Ning Qilang Ning Hua is a young general with great achievements in battle. Last year, he returned to the court after a great victory and was rewarded for his merits. He was named General Zhongwu (fourth grade) and served as Minister of the Ministry of War.

It stands to reason that the Minister of the Ministry of War is a high-ranking member of the court from the third rank. Regardless of whether he is busy or not, it is the minimum to attend the office every day. But Ning Qilang does not have it, so we have to talk about the military and political system of Dayin Dynasty.

The Dayin Dynasty had almost six ministries like other dynasties: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works. Lord Fan, who supported Su Yanli, was once the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, they all have real power. Officials of the court.

However, the Ministry of War of the Dayin Dynasty was different from other dynasties. The selection of military attachés, military orders, and military affairs were all under the control of the Privy Council. The reason for this is related to a famous event in history. Therefore, the emperor weakened the power of the Ministry of War and only let them control the guard of honor. , military examinations and other matters, the positions are very light, and the ministers and ministers are all officials with salary.

What is a post-remuneration official? An official with an official title and salary, but no actual duties, is called a post-remuneration official. Otherwise, how could Ning Qilang, who was only twenty years old, be a third-grade minister.

But no matter how idle you are, you can't go into the ravine!

After eating, Ning Qilang not only paid for the meal, but also paid for the room, "Let's stay here for half a month."

"Why not?" Su Ruojin raised his eyebrows, "Seventh Young Master, you won't work anymore?" Are you so easy to show off? The emperor doesn't care?

"You still haven't earned the money?"

The new emperor has ascended the throne, and there are many careers waiting to be done. Does the emperor really allow him to be so idle?

But Su Ruojin was not familiar with them, so it was hard to ask such doubts. Since there was money to be made, of course he had to make money.

In this way, the Ning family brothers and sisters became the first guests of the farmhouse.

The first person to be happy was Mama Dong, who was in charge of the kitchen and was called over by Su Ruojin. She was finally useful, had something to do and made money, and was extremely happy.

The elegant and exquisite farmhouse on the hillside attracted people from the surrounding villages to watch the fun. However, since Ning Qilang arrived, there were guards guarding the entrance to the hillside, and no one could enter or leave the farmhouse at will.

Ning Qilang's explanation was: "My sister is just a daughter. She is very precious. I have to be careful about her food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Su Ruojin thought to himself, since he wants the treasure, then don't bring it out. It will make the farmhouse look like his private manor. Fortunately, it has not officially started business yet. If there are guards guarding it all the time, how can the guests dare to come.

Su Ruojin smiled and looked at the little lady standing on the fence looking at the flowers. She was a good girl, good-looking, docile and well-behaved, quite lovable, but if she came with other purposes.

She was not so kind.

"Okay, as long as you give me the money, everything will be easy."

Su Ruojin put on her straw sandals, put on a bamboo hat, and carried beetroot seeds on her back. She was going to pick the first pepper in the vegetable field.

Seeing the young lady dressed as a farmer, Ning Qilang was surprised and said, "Mrs. Su Er, are you really going to work in the fields?"

"Otherwise?" Su Ruojin pointed to the vegetable fields at the foot of the mountain that were as green as a small sea, "Do you think these all came out of thin air?"

"No...no, I mean, these are all jobs done by tenants and servants."

Su Ruojin shrugged, "The children of the poor have long been in charge."

Ning Qilang:…

It wasn't until the young lady came down the mountain and her pretty figure dived into the green sea that the gentlemen sighed, "Zhao Zijin's fiancée is really different."

When Ning Qilang heard this, he turned around and smiled.

In fact, he could guess what these people were thinking. It was too embarrassing for the wife of a dignified prince to work in the fields.

Coming with Ning Qilang, there were two nephews and two who grew up together. They were about the same age. After sighing about Zhao Lan's fiancée, they dressed in fancy clothes and walked into the mountains to go hunting. .

When Ning Ning saw her brother leaving with her nephew and friend, she quickly shouted: "Brother Qi, take me with you."

Ning Qilang said, "Take Ah Hui with you." As he said that, he had already climbed a long way up the mountain.

Ning Ning stamped her feet. No one was playing with her, so why was she here?

The little lady was so angry that she ran down the mountain and found Tian Jiantou, "Ajin, come back and play with me."

Su Ruojin is very busy, so he can play with her when he has time.

"No time." He refused.

Ning Ning: ...she grew up being supported by others. Ever since she met Su Ruojin, she knows the feeling of failure.

With his little mouth puffed up, he rushed into the pepper field, as if to pull people back.

These peppers are Su Ruojin's treasured lumps, which can be broken by someone. She was so anxious that she shouted, "Little aunt, grandma, stop, stop..." and hurriedly came over cautiously.

The more nervous Ningning became, the happier she became, "Who told you not to play with me?" She said as she walked away, knowing how to avoid the pepper branches.

Su Ruojin was so angry that she wanted to beat her up. Fortunately, she had good eyesight and caught the rebellious young lady, only breaking a branch. "Ning Daqianjin, why don't you lie down at home on such a hot day?" Are you comfortable? If you have to go out and get a tan, what will you do if you don't get married?”

Ning Ning: ...What is the little lady afraid of most? She is most afraid of being told that she is not fair or good-looking. When she hears this, she becomes furious.

"Su Ajin..."

Su Ruojin spent a lot of effort to coax Mrs. Ning. She had no choice but to pick the peppers for a while and then let the hired workers pick them. Back at the farmhouse, Zhong Wanhui was sitting in the wind and rain pavilion playing with the kitten.

The kitten was raised by the Li Zheng family to catch mice. The last time she came back, she had adopted one as a baby. The kitten was around two months old and was at its most playful time. Everything she saw was novel.

When Su Ruojin saw her, the kitten was playing with the hem of her skirt, its little paws scratching around, so cute.

One person and one cat, quiet and full of fun. Su Ruojin looked envious.

Apparently so did Ning Ning, who also ran over to play with the kitten with her niece.

Su Ruojin let the two of them play while she went to the room to change clothes, washed her face, and brought cold sweet-scented osmanthus rice dumplings over to eat.

Blowing the May wind, looking at the scenery in the courtyard, eating delicious snacks, feeling free and comfortable, it feels great.

Ningning faced the boundless distance and shouted, "No wonder Ah Jin likes it here. It's so comfortable and free. I really want to live here all my life."

Su Ruojin smiled, and taking advantage of the good atmosphere, she quietly asked, "Why is Ah Hui here?"

Ning Ning pouted, "It's not because the candies you make are delicious. Ah Hui is thinking about you. I came over to play, but she found out and insisted on following me."

Su Ruojin: ...Why does she not believe it so much?

"Really, I won't lie to you." Ning Ning said with a sad look on her face, "Ah Hui has no playmates at home and doesn't want to play with others. She always sits in the room alone, either counting chips or drawing plum blossoms. That day, you gave her candy, but she didn't refuse and ate every last one. Sister A felt that A Hui was destined to you and knew that I was coming to play here, so she asked me to bring her over. "

"You are still a child who has not grown up. Is your sister safe for you to take her out?"

Ning Ning pointed to the maid behind her and said, "There are them."

I don't know when, there were about ten servants standing in a row under the corridor, including women, girls and boys.

Su Ruojin: ...Usually she only sees an old girl and a woman. She didn't even notice that they brought so many people.

Ning Ning smiled and said, "These are Ah Hui's maids. I only brought five of them."

Su Ruojin: ...No wonder Ye Huaizhen said she was going to make money, wouldn't the farmhouse be full?

There are two varieties of peppers grown in Su Ruojin. One is the small Chaotian pepper, which is used to make various sauces; the other is the vegetable pepper, which is larger and is suitable for cooking. Of these two varieties, one is specially made by Zhao Lan. The other one given to him was a reward from the emperor to Princess Yuehua. At that time, she asked her uncle to help her collect all the pepper seeds grown by Princess Yuehua.

Tonight, Su Ruojin went to the stove herself and made tiger skin chili, fried bacon with chili, scrambled eggs with chili, and spicy dry pot chicken.

Ning Qilang and others went up the mountain and hunted rabbits. She made a cold rabbit.

With chili, any delicacy can be served.

"It's a pity that there is no beef or fish. Otherwise, it would be more perfect if we had boiled beef and chopped pepper fish."

There was a big table full, and the air was filled with spicy smell. There were two young men, who probably had never eaten spicy food. They sneezed several times just by smelling the smell. They frowned and thought to themselves, I'm afraid tonight Nothing to eat.

Brother and sister Ning Qilang had stayed at the Su family and had eaten the spicy dishes of the Su family. Now just smelling the aroma, their index fingers twitched and they said with a smile, "Sister Ajin, I'm not polite." He is the highest generation here and the oldest. The biggest one, so use the chopsticks first.

Just as he took it to his mouth, a guard came to announce at the door of the dining hall, "Sir, Prince Zhao has arrived."

Su Ruojin's eyes lit up, and she quickly got off the table and ran out.

In the evening, it was dark.

In the dusk and night, the young master was dressed in a navy blue satin robe. He was tall and tall, with long eyebrows painted in ink, and eyes like paint spots.

The moment he saw Su Ruojin, a pool of thick ink looked like his eyes, and suddenly his face was filled with smiles. He was obviously just standing there like this, but his whole body seemed to be surrounded by ten miles of splendor.

"Brother Jin..."

Su Ruojin flew up to meet him like a bird.

"Ajin."

Zhao Lan caught the little lady and lowered her head, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Brother Jin, why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

Su Ruojin: ...That's not what she meant.

"It's getting so late, and it's difficult to walk on the mountain road."

"It turns out Ah Jin is worried about me."

Everyone who followed:…

Dog food is spread all over this place.

Ning Ning opened her mouth and couldn't help but interrupt, "Ajin, in front of brother Jin... behind brother Jin... you didn't ask him if he was hungry?"

"Brother Jin, are you hungry?" Su Ruojin asked with a smile.

Ning Ning: ...why are you so irritating, why aren't you shy?
