Chapter 53 Meeting Prince Jin and his son
Su Dalang and Xue Wulang have been reading and writing together, and they are very good friends. Originally, he was holding his mother's hand, but sensing the subtle atmosphere between the adults, he reached out to hold Xue Wulang's hand:
Xue Wulang, whose real name is Xue Lingchuan, felt the kindness of his friend and smiled shyly, revealing the gap where his teeth were changing. He saw Su Erniang looking at him and smiling, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
The funny things between the little people made the adults look at each other and smile, as if they had never felt embarrassed before. They all went to salute and say hello to the Minister of Civil Affairs.
The spring breeze is blowing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The entire suburb is full of people along the river and in the mountains and forests. The owners are greeting each other, and the servants are either busy making tea and delivering water, or setting up tents and building stoves. It is a lively and prosperous place.
Su Ruojin saw someone she knew. Master Fan's youngest son Fan Yanjia was playing wildly with his little nephew. His head was covered in sweat. Yang Dalang and Yang Mingyu stood down and greeted him. It turned out that they had been together in Zheng Guogong's Mansion. They studied in a private school, and now that Yang Dalang has gone to the Imperial Academy, the two of them are no longer together, but they are still classmates, so they can be considered friends!
Fan Yanjia saw his classmates, walked over, and glanced at Su Ruojin and the others. He was a young boy, wearing a light blue robe with narrow sleeves, a round collar, and a belt buckled at the waist. He was bright and handsome, and he had the appearance of a jade tree in the wind for the first time.
Fan Yanjia was a noble young man in the eyes of the group, but in his eyes, when he saw that squeamish boy wanting to be hugged by his father, he secretly rolled his eyes, glanced disdainfully, and asked his former classmates, "Where are you going? "
Yang Mingyu smiled and replied: "I am about to go to see your father!"
"Oh!" He was not interested. As a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who held real power, his father was constantly being visited by people. It was normal. He slightly arched his hands in front of everyone and went to play by himself.
The group of people soon arrived in front of the tent set up by Fan Mansion. There was a nobleman greeting Mr. Fan, so they stopped aside and waited silently.
The spring light was bright and warm. Su Ruojin, who had gotten up early, was drowsy. However, Su Sanlang was there to reach her sister. Su Ruojin was woken up by his little hand and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Su Sanlang struggled out of Shutong's arms, stood on the ground, and looked toward the tent.
Su Ruojin followed his gaze and cut it secretly. It turned out to be him! She also slipped down from her father's arms, stood next to Su Sanlang, leaned against his little ear and said, "Dad is here, don't be afraid."
If Fan Yanjia was bright and noble just now, then under the bright spring light at this moment, the young master is neither as hazy and beautiful as on the Lantern Festival, nor as cold as the moon like the forest blocking the sun. , there is an elegant and graceful temperament in his bones, and he is dignified and noble. There is a hint of impatience between his expressionless brows, which makes people look at him with a sense of noble decadence.
Feeling that someone was looking at him, he turned his gaze to the chaotic crowd and stopped at Su Ruojin, the crybaby. The frivolous eyebrows were his disdain, and the corners of his lips were half raised to sneer.
Simply ignore the past.
I go!
Su Ruojin thought to herself, she protected him secretly on the night of the Lantern Festival, just for a small pavilion. This person still holds a grudge?
She quickly blacklisted this guy! Don't look at him, ignore him. What's so great about being good-looking? If you don't look at him, don't look at him.
Suddenly Master Fan’s farewell voice sounded: “I respectfully see you off, Your Majesty!”
When everyone heard this, they saluted, bowed their heads respectfully and sent him away.
Su Ruojin was a young man. He stood behind the master and secretly glanced at the prince who was leaving with his hands behind his back. He had three strands of moustache and was serious and awe-inspiring.
There were several princes in Dayin Dynasty, namely Qin, Jin, Chu, Zhao and Qi. Which one was he?
Su Ruojin heard limited gossip and could not guess which prince it was. She learned from Master Fan's chat with Su Yanli and others that he was Prince Jin, who was a sibling of the emperor's mother. The man who was standing next to Prince Jin just now was eleven years old. Isn't the young master of two years old the Sixth Prince of the Sixth Prefecture, Zhao Lan, who was hurt to the bone by Princess Jin?
I see, he is a noble and handsome man, no wonder he is so arrogant. He is not from the same class anyway. Su Ruojin forgot about it after gossiping.
Finally, after the adults had finished chatting and returned to the open space, they didn't even have time to fly the kite. They had a barbecue first. After eating and drinking, they had enough energy to play.
Mutton, pork belly, chicken wings and other barbecue ingredients are marinated at home. In order to make the marinade delicious, Su Ruojin worked hard and collected all the seasonings except chili. In the Dayin Dynasty, there was no chili, so he used dogwood. Instead, the pickled ones are delicious. When the first oven was baked, the aroma spread for two miles, attracting many people to come around. Seeing the sizzling skewers, some children stood in front of the oven and salivated.
The Su brothers and sisters were surrounded by the crowd, and they were too embarrassed to put the kebabs in their hands into their mouths.
Su Sanlang turned around and hid behind his father to eat. He ate and said, "It's delicious... so delicious..."
Su Ruojin:…
Su Dalang:…
Yang Siniang was so familiar with the Su family that she didn’t care about so much and walked directly to Ah Jin, “I want to eat too!”
Su Ruojin asked his father to hand over one. The little girl took a bite and kept it warm, while also sizzling. "Wow, Ah Jin, this mutton is so tender. There's no smell at all. It's great." tasty!"
In the blink of an eye, she had finished a string of five diced meats.
Young girl, do you want to be so aggressive? Mutton is so expensive, okay? Su Ruojin felt distressed and took a bite of the mutton skewers in her hand. Whatever it is, you can just watch it if you want. This girl is not embarrassed. Please fill your stomach first.
Fan Chengcan, the eldest grandson of Mr. Fan, came here from the front for some unknown reason. When he saw that the Su family brothers and sisters and Yang Siniang were eating a barbeque that was very fragrant, he pulled up his calf and came forward and asked Su Yanli who was roasting: "Me too want!"
It doesn’t matter whether it recognizes it or not, just eat it before talking about it.
Su Yanli recognized the little guy, smiled warmly, gave him one of the baked ones, and gave the rest to the young men who were watching.
The people who had the nerve to come around were all children as old as Su Sanlang. Su Yanli couldn't care less, so he asked brothers Dashi and Ershi to come over and bake, and any child who wanted it would be given to them.
Suddenly, the Su family’s oven was full of children grabbing skewers. Some children cried loudly because they didn’t get the skewers and went home to complain.
Su Yanli had a headache and glared at his daughter who was eating happily, blaming her for making the food so delicious.
Su Ruojin quickly took Dad away from the stove, "When their parents come, Dad will pretend he doesn't know."
Su Yanli had no choice but to go to the tent to accompany his wife and drink tea with her to quench her thirst.
Fan Chengcan was a very overbearing kid. He grabbed a few bunches and ran away. Su Sanlang couldn't catch up with him. He stamped his feet angrily, "This is my family's thing, my family's..." Seeing that he ignored him, he dropped the golden beans.
Su Ruojin hurriedly came over to coax, "Forget it, forget it, the mutton is gone, let's eat chicken wings..."
“This one is gone too!”
“Then let’s eat pork belly…”
“No more…” Su Sanlang became more and more sad as he spoke. He hadn’t even eaten yet!
