The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Gift

Zhong Wanhui came from a prominent family, and in such a situation, Su Ruojin looked at Ning Ning, who was one year older than her, and could only cry and have a headache.

 She also wants to help, but how?

Coax her, she is not really six or seven years old. Even from Su Ruojin's observation, Mrs. Zhong may realize that she is different from others, and consciously closes herself off and does not easily communicate with others. Su Ruojin is not familiar with her, how can she coax her?

She remembered that the little lady loved to eat fruit candies, so she quickly asked Su Xiaomei to bring a handful of beautiful fruit candies and put them in front of her. Instead of drinking water, she could eat some candies to replenish her physical energy, so that she could survive until tomorrow morning. The capital is the business of the Zhong family and the Ning family, and has nothing to do with them.

 In the end, the young lady didn't even bother to look at it, let alone eat it.

The little lady is like a coward, and Su Ruojin can't coax her at all.

Hunting her to drink water, Su Ruojin did not dare to do this because she was not Sanlang or a young girl.

Whether it's coaxing or forcing it, it's not suitable. What should I do?

 In the lobby of the small inn, Su Ruojin looked at Ning Ning, meaning, I tried my best.

 Then she stood aside.

Ning Ning cried and coaxed, "Ah Hui... Ah Hui, take a pill... take a sip..."

A group of girls and women surrounded the two of them, crying and coaxing, making a fuss.

Su Ruojin stepped back again and whispered, "Uncle Hua, please arrange for my parents to live here first, leave the superior rooms to Ning and Zhong, and let their housekeeper make arrangements in advance."

Hua Ping nodded and spoke to the steward of the Ning family. The steward nodded and cupped his hands, "Thank you, steward Hua."

"polite."

Hua Ping made arrangements for him before going to make arrangements for the Su family.

 Cheng Yingzhen was very uneasy and pulled her daughter aside, "Ajin, what do you want me to do?"

Of the group, she was the head matron of the house, and it was her responsibility to take care of these young children. However, although she was older, her status was low. Furthermore, although she had given birth to many children, she seemed to have never worried about anything other than taking care of them. , there is a child who refuses to eat or drink. It seems that it is all done by the eldest daughter. She has not paid much attention to it. It seems that even if she is asked to come forward, she probably cannot coax the little lady to drink water and eat.

Su Ruojin shook her head and whispered, "Mom and dad go to the room first."

 “Then…” She looked at the master and servant who were crying together.

Su Ruojin shook her head again, "Mom, you go and rest first."

 Cheng Yingzhen was persuaded by her daughter and took Sanlang, Silang and Su Xiaomei back to the inn room first.

Su Ruojin stayed and stood aside watching Ning Ning and Granny Ya cry until they were too tired to cry.

"What to do...what to do..." Ning Ning muttered. She had already asked someone to go back to the capital to tell her sister and grandmother, but when they arrived, she finally raised her eyes that were swollen from crying.

At a glance, he saw Su Ruojin standing on the edge and quickly stepped over, "Su Ajin, is there any way you can let Ah Hui drink some water or eat something?"

　　While they were crying, Su Ruojin actually thought of a way. It wasn't until Ning Ning had time to talk to her that she said, "I wonder if this method will work?"

Once he heard that there was a way, Ning Ning quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "What way?"

"When I came back yesterday afternoon, I saw Mrs. Zhong practicing calligraphy. How about...you take out the calligraphy practice. If the little lady reacts, give her a sip of water or something to eat...you...just give her a sip of water or something to eat. Page?"

 “Can it be done?” That's it?

Ning Ning's expression suddenly reminded Su Ruojin, and she was secretly shocked. Didn't Ning Ning see her niece's unusual dependence on Mr. Shangguan?

Ning Ning didn't even understand her own affairs, so how could she think of her niece who was only six or seven years old in intelligence?

People are such strange creatures. Zhong Wanhui's intelligence is only that of a six- or seven-year-old child, but her physical structure grows step by step. For a fifteen-year-old girl, even if she is chaotic, her body is growing naturally unconsciously. As she developed, her physiology gave her an uncontrollable hazy consciousness.

Regardless of whether the intelligence matches the girl's development, it just happens. Even because of the suddenness of the physiology, it is more obvious than ordinary people. However, except Su Ruojin, no one has thought about it, and they can't believe it. How could it be possible? Woolen cloth?

But Su Ruojin will not go to Shangguanyu to save the girl's thoughts, because whether it is Shangguanyu or the Zhongning family, one is impossible to have any thoughts about the girl, and the other is impossible to agree to her daughter marrying a family without a clan. of civilian scholars.

 So even if she saw Zhong Wanhui's girlish thoughts, she could do nothing but pretend that she had discovered nothing.

As Su Ruojin expected, when the eldest girl Qiao Qiao took out a stack of calligraphy papers, the little lady's eyes lit up and she was about to grab it. Ning Ning, who was quick-sighted and quick-witted, grabbed it. She smiled at her niece and said, "Ah Hui, Take a sip of water and Auntie will give you one, okay?"

As he spoke, he motioned to the maid to quickly scoop up a spoonful of water and put it to Zhong Wanhui's mouth.

The young lady seemed to understand her aunt's intention. After a few minutes of stalemate, she opened her mouth and took a sip of water.

Ning Ning looked like Amitābha Buddha and hurriedly gave a page of paper to her niece. The aunt and nephew, who were the same age, coaxed one with the exercise paper and the other wanted to get the exercise paper. In this way, they finally gave her some water and food.

God bless, Su Ruojin saw that they finally had dinner, so she asked the inn to bring the dinner to her parents' room. She rushed over, and the family had dinner together in the small room.

Early the next morning, while it was still dark, Su Ruojin asked her family members to quickly eat some dry food and put them under hot water. Then, when Ning Ning got up, she went over what happened last night and gave her some water and food. After eating it, hurry back to Beijing.

Before he even reached the city gate, Mrs. Zhong came to greet him personally.

Zhong Ning was really worried about her daughter. She hugged her daughter. If she hadn't been outside, she would have cried so much that she couldn't see anything. But outside, she could only hold it in.

Ning Ning shrank her head. She was uneasy because she failed to do what her sister told her. When she saw her sister, she felt apologetic and awkward at the same time. She was at a loss as to what to do, so she simply ran home with her servants.

 Zhong Ningshi:…

Su Yanli and his wife got off the carriage and saluted Zhong Ning, "Your Majesty, Su Yuzhi, has met Madam."

 “I have met Madam.”

Zhong Ning was heartbroken because her daughter seemed even more dazed than before going out. If she hadn't been the matron of the house and couldn't let things go, she would have taken her daughter to Weizhou County herself.

Thinking about her status, why should she go to a small county town to meet a couple of minor officials.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning was very unhappy. With a cold face, she looked at the couple who were saluting together. They were obviously from a small family, but whether they were men or women, they looked like wealthy idlers.

Don't talk about men. Compared with seven or eight years ago, his appearance has not changed at all. He has a romantic temperament that seems to be otherworldly. Standing in front of her, he looks like a gentleman and is as moist as jade. He is not a small county magistrate. It's like returning from a trip to famous mountains and rivers, full of poetry and painting.

The woman's appearance is fresh and dull, yet bright and bright. Her whole person looks rich and gentle. At first glance, she looks like a stay-at-home woman who is loved by men and has not been rubbed by life.

There are many temporary love in this world, but after seven or eight years of love, it seems that they will continue to love each other. Couples like this are simply rare.

 Sure enough, she made the right choice for her daughter.

No matter what he thinks or comments in his heart, Zhong Ning showed dissatisfaction on the surface, "Mr. Su, my son is going to Weizhou County for fun, but you and your wife are so stingy and don't take my daughter to your house for a meal?"

Su Yanli: ...During this period, he was running to the fields every day and never thought of this. He couldn't blame his wife. He subconsciously went to protect his wife and put his arm around her shoulders.

 This was indeed rude on her part, and Cheng Yingzhen blamed herself for her inconsideration.

Su Ruojin: ...she rolled her eyes secretly. She deliberately suppressed the news that Mrs. Zhong was going to the farmhouse, and she had no intention of giving her a chance to visit her house.

Seeing the loving gestures of Mr. and Mrs. Su, Zhong Ning suppressed her sadness and sneered coldly, as if she wanted to settle accounts with her future wife.

Su Yanli and his wife were extremely disturbed by his scorn:…

Su Ruojin's heart sank. On her face, she pretended not to understand and gave a fake smile, "Since Madam is here to pick up Madam Hui, we will not disturb Madam. We will invite Madam to come to my humble residence when you have time. I will take my leave now." , without waiting for Zhong Ning's reaction, he turned around and pulled his parents away, got into the carriage, and finished in one go.

By the time Zhong Ning could react, the Su family's carriage had already driven a hundred meters away.

Zhong Ningshi: ... looked at her sister angrily, but the mother-in-law said, "Madam, Ning Niang has returned to the Duke's residence."

She laughed angrily, "Okay... okay, each one is very good." None of them looked down on her daughters, so they all waited for me.

 In the driving carriage, Cheng Yingzhen said worriedly, "Ajin, it's too impolite for us to do this."

 “Do you still have to stand in front of her and scold her?”

Su Yanli sighed: "All the children in the family are debts!"

Su Ruojin curled her lips, "When she marries her daughter to your son, you will know what debt feels like."

Su Yanli: ...Okay, shut up.

 The husband did not speak, Cheng Yingzhen did not bother her daughter, and she also kept silent.

The parents stopped talking, and the carriage suddenly became quiet. Su Ruojin sighed again, but she just sighed secretly in her heart. Although she did not want the young lady to marry her brother, she also hoped that the young lady Zhong would be safe in the future.

 This is the only way I can bless you.

The carriage swayed and finally arrived at the new residence in Beijing. Unexpectedly, Zhao Lan arrived first.

“Zijin? When did you arrive?”

Zhao Lan bowed her hands and helped her teacher, mistress, and Su Ruojin out of the carriage. "I ordered some food from the restaurant just half an hour after we arrived, and you just had it when you got home."

After walking all the way, I felt hungry. It would be great to have something to eat as soon as I got home! What a considerate future uncle.

Su Sanlang's eyes shone when he saw his future brother-in-law. He walked beside him, chattering and talking about his daily routine of riding horses and practicing tricks. He was very happy.

While Zhao Lan listened to his second brother-in-law's chirping, he quietly stretched out his hand and hooked one of Su Ruojin's fingers.

Su Xiaomei was small and followed behind. When she saw it, she shouted, "Brother Jin, please hold my sister's hand."

Su Ruojin suddenly shook off Zhao Lan's hand.

Zhao Lan:…

 He turned around and looked at his sister-in-law with a resentful look.

Su Xiaomei snorted, "Who told you not to hold my hand?"

Zhao Lan:…

Looking ahead with a guilty conscience, the future father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't seem to hear the commotion behind them. The couple were talking about things at home.

Su Yanli, who was talking about family matters: ...I can only pretend to be deaf and mute, but I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Could it be possible that I would really turn my head and give you a scolding, and then leave unhappily? Besides, even for the sake of delivering lunch, he had to pretend not to hear.

Su Ruojin: ...if the finger being held moves, is it worth a meal?

　　The family forgot about the unhappiness at the city gate and had a happy lunch.

After eating, Su Yanli urged Zhao Lan to go back, "Tomorrow is your day to be polite. You must be busy with a lot of things, so don't stay here. This will save the prince and princess from being annoyed when they can't find someone."

“Everything that needs to be prepared is ready.” Zhao Lan was not in a hurry.

Su Yanli still urged, "Anyway, we are all going to Prince Jin's Mansion tomorrow. We can see A Jin tomorrow, so let's go back first."

 Zhao Lan: ...He suspected that his future father-in-law would settle accounts with his wife after he had eaten and drank enough. He obviously wanted to stay alone with Ah Jin for a while, so he came to chase her away now, but unfortunately he had no evidence.

Su Yan said politely, "Ajin, Agan, you go see Zijin off."

Honestly, letting Su Sanlang be the lightbulb is evidence of settling accounts after the fall.

 As for that, just hold a finger, it's really difficult for him.

Looking at Zhao Lan's constipated look, Su Ruojin pursed her lips and snickered.

 “Let's go, brother Jin, we will see you off.”

 “I'll go too.” Su Xiaomei came up.

Zhao Lan wanted to beat her sister-in-law, but she smiled broadly and said, "Ai, if you like anything, Brother Jin will buy it. When you come to my house tomorrow, I will give it to you."

Su Xiaomei smiled and said, "I want to drink music."

"good."

 Zhao Lan took her sister-in-law's hand and said goodbye to the teacher and went back.

Su Yanli nodded seriously.

Su Xiaomei smiled proudly at Sister A, as if Brother Jin is mine.

Su Ruojin... rolled her eyes and said, "The Chinese Valentine's Day is not here yet, what do you think, you little brat?"

“Humph, I understand.” Su Xiaomei pouted her lips and retorted.

 Recently, clay children have become popular in the capital. People call them Mohele and they are one of the offerings during the Chinese Valentine's Day. "Tokyo Menghua Lu" written by Meng Yuanlao of the Song Dynasty records: During the Chinese Valentine's Day in Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty, 'Moheluo, which is a small plastic clay ear', is sold on the streets.

After walking for a day, Su Ruojin encountered Zhong Wanhui again. Su Ruojin was very tired and was too lazy to tease Su Xiaomei. He yawned and said, "Brother Jin, see you tomorrow."

Zhao Lan really wanted to be alone with Su Ruojin, but with his teacher and father-in-law in front of him, and his brother-in-law and sister-in-law behind him, seeing how closely he watched, he had no choice but to give up, "Then tomorrow morning, I will ask Santai to pick you up."

"No." Su Ruojin waved her hand, "Tomorrow will definitely be very busy. Just keep them busy and our family will arrive on time."

Zhao Lancai refused, "I even want to pick it up myself."

Su Ruojin was really afraid that he would come in person, so she hurriedly tried to persuade him and secretly gave him a gift, and Zhao Lan left in a good mood.

After getting on the carriage, Zhao Lan opened it and found a small jade-shaped lock with two words engraved on it: Lan & Jin.

He grinned brightly, and when he saw the carving, he saw that it was carved by the lady herself!
