Chapter 138： brother-in-law

Chapter 138 Brother-in-law

The two siblings had not come down from the hillside for a long time. Su Yanli was worried and put Xiao Silang down to go down the mountain to look for him. Mao Ya coughed lightly, as if he were a thief, and reminded in a low voice, "Sir, the little prince has gone down to look for him."

Su Yanli then discovered that Zhao Lan's master and servant were gone for some time, and Mao Ya's cautious expression. He thought it was because Lu Shaoqing and Wei Shizi were there, so he didn't think much about it.

Seeing that the student cared so much about his daughter, he was quite pleased and nodded, "It's really troublesome."

Mao Ya:…

Looking at the wife who took over Su Silang, Mao Ya quietly took two steps back and glanced at the two nobles not far away.

Wei Shizi and Lu Shaoqing were similar in age. They were sitting on a blanket, drinking tea and looking at the scenery. It was rare for them to have free time in their lives, and they were very comfortable. Zhao Lan was several years younger than them, and it was normal for him to be unable to sit still.

Mao Ya looked towards the grill again. Young Master Fan was pestering Hua Ping to learn some tricks. She lowered her head to meet the young lady as she went downhill.

Su Ruojin and her brother took their uncle and Princess Yuehua up the mountain. After walking a few steps, they saw Zhao Lan coming down the mountain.

“The little prince wants to eat?”

Shuangrui chuckled and said, "Yes, the young master has eaten a bit too much. Have you picked the second lady's flowers?"

Su Ruojin looked towards his uncle.

Su Yanzu held up a few branches that his brother and sister had picked.

Shuangrui saw Princess Yuehua and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have met Her Royal Highness."

Zhao Lan also stepped forward and saluted: "Auntie."

Yuehua frowned. Unexpectedly, the Su family went out to have a barbecue and her little nephew came with them. What a coincidence. She didn't know that today's trip was proposed by her little nephew.

Princess Yuehua is the late emperor's youngest daughter. She is the same mother as Prince Jin, but she is many years younger than Prince Jin. She is now twenty-six years old and has been divorced for six years. Yesterday, the spring flower party at her brother's house invited celebrities from the capital to come. Looking at flowers was actually a blind date in disguise, to choose a husband for her, but she didn't like any of them, her interest was waning, and she was in a bad mood. She went out to relax today, but she didn't expect to meet the child of her nephew's teacher.

After all the salutes, Master and Servant Zhao Lan looked at the young man protecting Su Ruojin's sister and brother.

Su Ruojin smiled sweetly and said, "Little Prince, this is my brother-in-law, my dear."

Zhao Lan:…

Su Yanzu: ...Is there anyone you don’t have a close relationship with?

Su Ruojin asked Huaping to investigate her brother-in-law yesterday. As her boss, Zhao Lan doesn’t know yet.

Su Yanzu bowed to Zhao Lan and saluted, "The common people have seen the little prince."

Su Yanzu has a reputation as a scholar, so the first meeting was not a formal occasion, so the ceremony of kneeling down and worshiping him was not necessary.

Zhao Lan nodded, which was considered a response. He motioned to Shuang Rui to take the flower branches picked by the Su family siblings. Su Yanzu smiled slightly and said, "You are so polite, little prince. As A Jin's biological uncle, this little thing is what you should do."

Shuangrui glanced at his master and quickly retreated to the roadside.

The group continued to go uphill.

Zhao Lan walked beside her aunt. The two of them didn't seem to be very close, and they didn't talk much along the way.

Behind him, Uncle Qin seemed to have turned on some kind of switch. He kept asking his little niece, how is it in the capital? Did the whole family come for a spring outing today?

Su Ruojin went back to his elder brother to study at Dongshan Academy.

Su Yanzu suddenly stopped.

Su Ruojin turned around with a bad smile on his face, as if his own son could not even enter the Imperial College, so don't think about your unfamiliar biological brother.

Su Yanzu:…

Seeing her brother-in-law calm down, Su Ruojin frowned. Judging from the peach forest picture just now, her brother-in-law should be a free and unrestrained young man who wants to live a carefree life. How could he be obsessed with entering the Imperial College? For him, it is obviously a false reputation!

 Could it be that he lives a carefree life while living a rough life?

Finally climbed to the top of the hill.

The sea of ​​flowers turned into a blue sea and a clear sky. Su Yanzu took a deep breath, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his elegant, smooth and unrestrained appearance.

Beside, when everyone saw Princess Yuehua, they all stepped forward to salute and exchange greetings.

After greetings, Su Yanli came over to say hello to his younger brother. Unexpectedly, he met his younger brother during a spring outing. Although they were the strangest relatives, out of politeness, he introduced his younger brother to the young gentlemen present.

My mother-in-law has inquired about my brother’s relationship network in Beijing. This brother lives a simple life with two points and one line. His biggest relationships are with his examiner, Mr. Fan, and the youngest son of the King of Jin, Zhao Lan. He usually even attends the Imperial Academy to offer wine and sit in the office. Without moving around, Kankan has been promoted from the ninth rank to the eighth rank over the years. He is still an official and has not yet entered the ranks of official officials.

Su Yanli was outstanding in character and appearance, and his younger brother did not show any mercy. Although he had just come from Pingjiang Prefecture, he was thrown into a pile of young men in the capital and it was impossible to tell him apart. He was clearly a young man from Jiao Jiao.

Wei Shizi was a little curious about how Princess Yuehua came up from the mountain with Dr. Su's younger brother, but their identities were destined not to be openly inquired about casually. He smiled kindly, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

Su Yanzu is much more sophisticated and tactful than Su Yanli in interpersonal communication.

That's right, the Su family is a big squire in Pingjiang Prefecture. They do a lot of business and it is impossible not to deal with people. Su Dekai is a legitimate son, so he must be very precious. Unlike Su Yanli who grew up on his own, he will definitely bring it with him when going to important occasions. Yes, I have already experienced it.

Su Ruojin secretly observed and found that although his brother-in-law was worldly and well-informed, in front of these children of famous families with higher official positions, he was very comfortable and not flattering, and he was very literary. To put it in a secular sense, just looking at socializing with others, he is much more successful than Su Yanli!

Not much to say, Su Yanzu came here just to fill her stomach. As her little niece, Su Ruojin personally went to the battle and grilled mutton skewers for her uncle. After a while, the uncle and nephew were having a heated fight.

Hua Ping is confused, so does he still want to inquire quietly?

Zhao Lan sat lazily on a small stool, glancing at the scene that was closer than his own father and son from the corner of his eye, which was really eye-catching.

Su Yanli was also puzzled, why did he suddenly become so familiar with his strange brother when he came down the slope?

Cheng Yingzhen felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy and pressed close to her husband's side, "Ah Jin... she won't be deceived by your sweet-talking brother, will she?"

Su Yanli:…

Turning his head to look at his wife, he felt incredible. It was his daughter who had been chattering non-stop, and his brother had been busy eating, so what about the 'sweet talk'?

Cheng Yingzhen:…can’t rhetoric be expressed as a feeling?

Su Yanzu was chewing meat, holding back his laughter, and listened to his little niece's various words and tactful questioning, were the mutton skewers delicious?

Su Ruojin found out that her brother-in-law was a human spirit among human beings. She couldn't find out anything about it at all and was so angry that she refused to let him know. "Put your head over here."

“Ah!” Why do you stick your head out? Could it be that the little niece wants to hit him?

“Stretch or not?”

Su Yanzu looked at the almost burned embers. His niece shouldn't be so cruel as to ruin his appearance, right?

Su Ruojin crossed her arms and looked like she was disobedient.

For some reason, Su Yanzu's heart moved. As if he thought of something, he stretched his head out in a daze.

Su Ruojin leaned into his ear and whispered, "Don't expect my father to let you through the back door. If you want to enter the Imperial College, you have to rely on your own ability."

Su Yanzu subconsciously asked, "What is your ability?"

"Think about it for yourself!" Su Ruojin rolled her eyes at him, stretched out her little hand and pushed his head away, "If you don't move away, be careful of the charcoal fire."

Su Yanzu had already woken up and pretended to cooperate, "Ah Jin, are you so cruel? Be careful not to get married."

"Whoever stipulates that you must marry, I can't stay married for the rest of my life."

Su Yanzu looked at the villain niece with admiration, "The court stipulates that women must marry, and if they don't marry after twenty, they will be fined."

Su Ruojin: ...how could she forget that there is indeed such a law in Dayin.

After saying a few words, Su Ruojin was too lazy to pay attention to him and rolled his eyes at him again, "In front of outsiders, I'll give you face and call you my uncle, but inside, I won't admit that your father and mother thought the same thing as Taishan when they came up. There’s no way to crush us.”

this…

Su Yanzu was indeed guilty, so he said, "I'm full, thank you for the hospitality, please wait another day..."

“The Su family’s gate is too expensive to be opened.”

Su Yanzu:…

The conflict within the Su family that had not been revealed was finally torn apart by the little niece.

He sighed, "I'm sorry."

Su Ruojin hummed: "No need to apologize. In the ten years before you entered Beijing, everyone was in peace. That's fine."

Su Yanzu pursed his lips and smiled helplessly. He didn't say anything about his parents' fault, "I understand."

Su Ruojin understood that he understood. The mutton skewers were not in vain. Although she did not find out why he insisted on going to the Imperial College, at least he was willing to be the lubricant between his parents and his eldest brother. Since the Su family recognized the legitimate son, they gave up the **** son. , then just let everyone live in peace and harmony. Don't enjoy the family happiness of the legitimate son and exploit the value of the concubine. That is too heartless.

Princess Yuehua sat at the top of the mountain with the best scenery, looking at the flowers and drinking milk tea. Her whole person became alive and no longer so lifeless.

Her eldest girl noticed that Her Highness looked at the affectionate uncle and nephew from time to time, and actually smiled while looking at them. She was not happy, but was just scared. Could Her Royal Highness...

The eldest girl looked at the young man again. He was dignified, with a handsome face, and his body was like flowing water. Against the backdrop of the peach forest and the sea of ​​flowers, the romance of the literati could not be blocked. He was full of poetry and painting, and he was simply the white moonlight in a woman's heart.

It’s just that the man seemed to have eaten enough and said goodbye to the people around him. He also looked at the princess, then lowered his head and said something to his niece. The little niece ran over and gave the princess a sweet salute.

“Your Royal Highness, my brother-in-law is going back, so he won’t come to disturb your peace. I hope you’ll be considerate.”

Princess Yuehua looked through the young lady at the young man who nodded slightly towards her, with an expressionless face.

Su Yanzu said hello, turned around and took the boy down the mountain.

Behind me, the breeze blew over the hills, blowing down a forest of peach blossoms, like a peach blossom rain!

Yuehua looked at it blankly.

Zhao Lan's eyes turned between her aunt and the young lady's uncle for several rounds, and her already gloomy face became even darker.
