Chapter 131 Delivery to the Shop
After eating and drinking, the master and servant left Dongshan Restaurant. Su Ruojin planned to give snacks to her brother while waiting for the landlord. As soon as they went out, they saw Zhao and Su standing outside the black carriage.
Shuangrui stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Second lady, are you going to deliver something to the mountain?"
This needs to be said! When her eyes met Zhao Lan's, his world-weary face actually gave her a faint smile.
Su Ruojin:…
Zhao Lan walked towards her.
Seeing her little master standing still, Mao Ya subconsciously protected her.
Zhao Lan seemed to have forgotten that the young lady had just made Xiao Xingzi angry and went downstairs, and his tone was very gentle, "Let's go!"
No...Brother, I didn't see how you came out. I went to the academy to see what brother has to do with you. Su Ruojin raised her little head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
One lowers his head and the other looks up.
The noble boy and the cute little girl are silently talking to each other.
Shuangrui was still smiling, "The young master and Mr. Su took the distinguished guest staircase at the back. After eating, I sent Mr. Su up the mountain to the academy, and I happened to be with the second lady."
It’s great to have a mouth to speak for! Enter Sister Mao Ya.
Mao Ya stared at Leng Mo, guarding her backpack nervously, not having any tacit understanding with her little master.
Su Ruojin:…
Zhao Lan's slightly pursed lips curled up unconsciously, and he reached out to hold her hand.
Su Ruojin avoided it: "Then let's go!" After all, her father is a student and the master of the Su family. If we want to go up the mountain together, let's go up the mountain together.
At the restaurant opposite, Shutong saw the young master coming out, put down his chopsticks and hurried over, "Second Lady..."
“Uncle Shutong, if the young prince of the county accompanies me up the mountain, you can stay here. If Uncle Shi brings someone here, you can let Uncle Shi have lunch first and wait for me after dinner.”
"OK."
A group of people walked up the mountain.
Along the way, Su Xiangheng sighed every time he saw a sprouting willow branch or a grass between the cracks in the rock. He recited poems and lyrics, showing off his literati style.
Zhao Lan walked beside Su Ruojin, glancing at her from time to time, as if the little lady would fall down the stone steps if she was careful.
Mao Ya's backpack was now on Leng Mo's back, and it was difficult to go up the mountain. This time he took it in a gentlemanly manner and carried it on his body just like Mao Ya did. However, Mao Ya still looked wary, as if this young man would steal her. Like a backpack.
Leng Mo pretended that he didn't see the little girl's little thoughts.
Shuangrui and others just protected Zhao Lan.
In the group, except Su Xiangheng, who was shaking his head and immersed in the spring scenery of the mountains, no one in the group heard what poems he read or what lyrics he composed. Su Ruojin laughed secretly. Master Su was not only bored, but also crazy. How could such a master teach his elder brother well? She was skeptical.
Climbing two miles of stone steps to the entrance of the academy, Su Ruojin was out of breath and stood at the entrance of the academy waiting for her brother.
Su Xiangheng smiled and said, "You don't need to stand at the door waiting for brother if you follow me."
Su Ruojin: ...don’t I owe someone a favor?
The little girl's hesitation to enter made Su Xiangheng laugh again, "You are still afraid that I will sell you out when the little prince is here!"
Yes, if you want to owe a favor, you also owe it to the little prince. Su Ruojin raised his head and stepped into Dongshan Academy. He followed Su Xiangheng to the place where the academic affairs of Dongshan Academy work and rest.
When she arrived, she found that the young man standing in the corridor at the door was his brother, Su Anzhi.
Had it not been for the outsiders, Su Ruojin would have pounced on him and called her brother happily, repeatedly.
Su Anzhi was just like at home. He was wearing a moon-white scholar's robe. He was gentle and elegant. He looked very noble while standing quietly. When he saw his sister running towards him happily, the gentle and steady little warm man smiled brightly.
“Ah Jin, slow down, slow down...” He walked towards his sister.
"elder brother…"
The two met in front of the colonnade, "Brother, do you miss me?"
"Of course." Su Anzhi, who was ten years old, entered the academy and grew taller. When he saw his sister looking up at him, he quickly bent down slightly and listened patiently to his sister chattering to him.
This pampering gesture...
It seems that he is not two years older but ten years older. This brother and sister have a deep love for each other, which makes others envious for a while.
Su Xiangheng pinched his chin, "It makes me want to have a sister."
Zhao Lan glanced at him and asked, "Can your mother still give birth?"
I really didn’t expect Zhao Lan to make fun of him like this, so she bumped him with her arm, leaned over and whispered, “Don’t you want to?”
Why don’t you want to? Zhao Lan never took his eyes away from the two brothers and sisters.
Sitting next to King Wu, Su Ruojin took out snacks from his backpack and showed them to his elder brother, "This is the instant noodles you like. I made a lot more. You can take them back later and distribute them to your classmates in the dormitory. Also, There are taro sticks, preserved fruits, cakes, milk candies... all kinds of things, there is a pile of stools.
“Thank you for your hard work, sister.”
Su Ruojin bluffed, "Brother, if you continue to be so polite, I won't be happy."
With a bulging face, Su Anzhi couldn't help but reach out and pinch her sister's face, "Okay, you're welcome, I'll take them all."
Su Xiangheng coughed and said, "Su Anzhi, shouldn't you be more filial to your master?"
Su Anzhi stood up quickly and saluted the master and the young prince, "Anzhi is disrespectful." "If you are disrespectful, you can use food to make up for it."
Su Ruojin: ...Isn’t it said that ancient masters were reserved and restrained? Why is this master so outgoing?
Master Su is a foodie, and everyone in the academy knows that, although Su Anzhi is reluctant to spare his sister's hard work, Master Su has already spoken, so he can only pick out some of everything for Master, who knows that Master is only interested in instant noodles and cakes, "These two Give me more and I’ll take it in, and I’ll share it with other masters.”
Su Ruojin: ...I watched Master Su take away most of the snacks for his brother. Is this Master serious?
When Su Xiangheng took it away, he winked at the young lady proudly and asked, "Isn't it in my hands?"
It turns out that this was the purpose of dragging her in, **** Master.
Su Ruojin glared at him fiercely, really fiercely.
Su Xiangheng was not only not annoyed but also wanted to laugh, but he knew that the little girl was not easy to mess with, so he held it back.
Su Anzhi quickly comforted him: "Madam is a very nice person. He is joking with you."
Hearing this, Zhao Lan’s eyebrows moved.
Su Ruojin puffed her lips, "If he dares to treat you badly, make him spit out what he has eaten."
Su Xiangheng was about to step through the door: ...Are all the young ladies today so tough? Whoever becomes her husband in the future will probably be henpecked, so he glanced at Zhao Lan subconsciously, as if he was taking care of himself.
Zhao Lan: ...What does this older friend look like?
The two brothers and sisters were reluctant to part ways until they got tired of talking to each other.
"Be careful on the road." Su Anzhi turned around and asked Zhao Lan, "I'm sorry for bothering the little prince."
Su Ruojin: ...Brother, I just went back as I came out. Why are you 'troubling him'?
Zhao Lan replied briefly, "Yes." Then he led the people down the mountain.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Su Ruojin didn't see the landlord or Yaren, so he asked Xiang Shi Er, "Didn't you find anyone?"
Shi Er looked timidly at Master and Servant Zhao Lan.
Su Ruojin thought he was afraid of the noble Zhao Lan, "They don't want to come to negotiate? Do they want to sit on the ground and raise the price?"
Shi Er shook his head.
That is…
In doubt, Shuangrui took a step forward and said, "Go back to Madam Su, the young master bought those three courtyards for you."
Su Ruojin’s eyes widened in shock, “Why should I accept your things?”
“Just take it as a gift from the meat grinder.”
This gift was caught off guard.
For a moment, Su Ruojin was speechless.
Shuangrui added: "The small courtyard is really dilapidated. I have asked Siping to find someone to repair it. It will probably take a few months."
Su Ruojin frowned, "Second Uncle Shi..."
“I...I can find a place to live...”
He can do it alone, but not with a large family.
Su Ruojin said to his colleague, "Find an inn nearby and let Uncle Shi and his family stay there first. We will move in after the house is ready in a month."
"No... no..." Shi Er waved his hands quickly, "That's the house bought by the noble man for you. We can't live in it."
“The ownership of the house belongs to me. I will lend it to you for business first. When the breakfast business makes money, you can then buy or rent a house.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Eryi knelt down gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, my little boss, for your help."
“Thinking of ways to run the shop well is the best thank you to me.”
“I will definitely work hard.”
Since there was no ready-made shop, Su Ruojin asked Shi Er to learn from the Su family's initial model and give them the movable board stall they used before, so that they could start the business in just two days.
Shi Er was not offended by what he heard, and he was even so excited that he wished he could fly to the capital, take the cart to Wenshan Street, and start business immediately.
While Su Ruojin and Shi Er were discussing a large business matter, Zhao Lan waited beside him without a trace of impatience. He looked at the small street for a while, and listened to the young lady's clear business experience. It seemed quite interesting.
Only Shuangrui, Santai and others were already anxious. There was a banquet at the palace tonight, and if they didn't set off, they might not be able to make it.
"Starting from tomorrow, Shutong will be with you for a few days. In these days, whether it is where you use money or what you don't understand at the breakfast stall, you can ask him and start business as soon as possible."
…
Finally, Su Ruojin felt relieved after Shi Er's family was settled. Just as he was about to get into his mule cart, Zhao Lan pulled him into his cart.
The short Su Ruojin didn't even have a chance to struggle, so she got into Zhao Lan's carriage.
Shu Tong watched the young lady getting into the car with the young prince, and felt happy in her heart. It was good that she finally no longer wanted to ride with the three children of the Shi family.
Su Ruojin was still a little uncomfortable when she first got on Zhao Lan's carriage, but after a bumpy and busy day, the carriage was smoother and more comfortable than the mule carriage. As it swayed, she fell into Mao Ya's arms and fell asleep.
Zhao Lan took a small blanket and stretched it out. Mao Ya thought he was asking her to take it and cover it with the little master. Unexpectedly, he glanced at her and frightened her so much that she retracted her hand. The little prince personally gave it to the little lady carefully. Covered with blanket.
Shuangrui, who was always smiling, now had a serious look on his face, "Don't talk nonsense." He looked like he would disappear without a trace if you dared to talk nonsense, which made Mao Ya turn pale with fright.
She lowered her head and only dared to look at the sweet and waxy little master.
Zhao Lan kept staring at the sleeping Su Ruojin. Just when he was covering the blanket, he lightly touched the little lady, and once again felt the soft and waxy touch that made people infinitely softer.
