Chapter 162 Thank you all
After a bowl of delicious mutton noodles, all the busyness and worries disappeared. Zhao Lan leaned on the back of the chair, lazily not wanting to move.
Mother Dong came over to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and whispered to Shuang Rui and others, "I've ordered some noodles for you, please—"
Shuangrui and others went to the kitchen with Dong's mother to have dinner. During the Chinese New Year, it was a busy time. They went to the palace to meet the officials and ladies, walked around with the clan, and dealt with the favors of the aristocratic family. The most important thing was the little prince. There were no days off for his errands, and he would be dispatched at any time as long as there was an emergency. They were very tired from the work, and they were often hungry. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Su could tell at a glance that the young master had not eaten dinner.
He felt strange, how did Mrs. Su know that the young master had not eaten dinner?
Su Ruojin didn’t know that Shuangrui walked a few steps and had so many mental activities. She didn’t know whether Zhao Lan had eaten, but the first thing a Chinese person says when greeting someone is, ‘Have you eaten? ’
In an era when food was scarce, a full meal was simply the greatest satisfaction. Zhao Lan was definitely not short of food, but apart from the first sentence of "Long time no see", Su Ruojin didn't know how to get along with the young man next. Ask him if he has eaten, and if he hasn’t, just cook it for him. If he has something to do, can he avoid the embarrassment of being relatively silent?
She must be smart!
Sure enough, when Shuang Rui and others went to have dinner, Ruoda's lobby suddenly seemed empty. Zhao Lan was sitting there to relax, and Su Ruojin was sitting silently aside.
Everyone was relatively speechless and could only hear the howling northwest wind outside the door. The two copper oil lamps were blown by the wind seeping through the cracks in the door. They swayed and illuminated the shadows on the wall moving east and west, which was a bit scary. .
Su Ruojin stared at the door, not knowing when the lost property would be returned. He was indeed a powerful person, and he handled the matter so quickly. If he had reported the case to the Yamen, it would have been like nothing.
That’s why everyone in the world wants to climb up!
Hey, Uncle Hua is not a spy. How come he is looking for Prince Zhao? The two of them would meet occasionally, and if he went to find him, Zhao Lan would give him face? Then her father's reputation is too high to allow Su Ji's caretaker to work for Zhao Xiaojun Wang?
Also, even if Uncle Hua is a spy and can accurately find the little prince, can he casually see the little prince? At the end of the year, Zhao Lan must be either in the mansion or in the palace and other places! Even if someone reports to Zhao Lan, it won't be so fast, right?
The little prince only went to school for half a day and had to work as a errand for another half day, but Su Yanli never knew what kind of errand Zhao Lan was doing. Did he disdain to tell him, or could he not tell him?
Uncle Hua found the little prince quickly and accurately, and the little prince came so quickly... Do they know each other? Is it a superior-subordinate relationship?
Su Ruojin, who was thinking a lot, moved her eyes to Zhao Lan unconsciously. Could it be that he was on an errand from the Imperial City Department and that what he was involved in was a national secret? And Uncle Huaping is his subordinate?
“What does Ah Jin want to ask?”
Well!
Realizing that she was staring at the beautiful young man, Su Ruojin suddenly turned her head with a guilty conscience. The next moment, she realized that something was wrong, and turned around as if nothing had happened, grinning, "I think the little prince has almost rested. How about you go back and do your work first?" I’m waiting here for Uncle Hua to come back.”
Zhao Lan looked at the young lady and said slowly: "No hurry!"
"Oh, I'm afraid of delaying the little prince, so don't be in a hurry."
Okay, you're not in a hurry, and I'm even less in a hurry. But the next moment, she still stood up and walked to the door, listening to the sounds outside, as if expecting Hua Ping to arrive home soon.
In the past half year, not only Zhao Lan has grown taller, eight-year-old Su Ruojin has also grown a lot taller. Her body, which is as fat as a glutinous rice dumpling, has also grown thin. Even wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, she can feel that she has grown a lot taller. .
I haven’t seen you for more than half a year. It turns out that the little lady has grown so tall.
Zhao Lan also stood up from the chair and walked around to the little lady's side. "Did you hear the sound of the carriage?" Using the question, he quietly measured the little lady's height, but it was still at his waist. How is this... Why is it so slow?
The tall figure blocked the copper oil lamp. Su Ruojin was still thinking about whether Zhao Lan and Hua Ping knew each other and whether they were superiors or subordinates. She didn't expect that he suddenly walked up to her and almost lost her composure in shock.
In life, when I just entered the shop and saw the copper basin, talking about the meat grinder, etc., almost all of them were related to the little prince. The little prince was mentioned countless times in the Su family, and it seemed to be related to the life of the Su family. closely related.
So they haven’t seen each other for more than half a year. When they met, Su Ruojin didn’t feel strange and even said “Long time no see” in a friendly way. However, when the two actually met, they had nothing to say.
Family members, who knows? Is it what the song says, the most familiar stranger?
Bah, no, that's about singing about lovers, what does it have to do with her.
Su Ruojin gave the little prince who asked the question a friendly smile, "The wind was too loud and I didn't hear it."
Zhao Lan didn't hear it, but he listened so seriously. Zhao Lan felt funny, but he was also afraid that the young lady would be too shy to laugh.
"I heard that you have a sister?" "Yes!" Su Ruojin smiled and instantly switched to the sincerity channel, "Thank you to the little prince for the gift. I thanked the little prince for my sister."
"Yeah." Zhao Lan nodded condescendingly. The teacher now has two daughters, so it's not too much to steal one from him!
“Your sister’s name is…”
“Su Ruyi.”
"Is it as peaceful as plain food and as sweet as glutinous rice?"
“Yes, the little prince is so smart.”
Zhao Lan, who is already smart:…
He smiled immodestly and said, "Teacher thought Ruosu was not good, so he changed it to Ruojin for you."
"That's exactly it." Su Ruojin thought to herself, feeling that she was having an awkward conversation. She walked to the small stool and sat down. She felt uncomfortable for a moment and stood up quickly, "Little Prince, please sit down -"
She sat down first when the guest didn't sit down. It was really rude.
Zhao Lan walked back, turned around and sat back in the chair, "Why doesn't your chair have armrests?"
The chairs of the Dayin Dynasty all had armrests. Su Ruojin made modern tables and chairs, which were simple and without armrests.
“In order to save materials and space.”
Shuangrui had finished eating and entered the lobby. He glanced around and saw Xianggui and the others sticking to the corner like invisible men, motionless. He moved to not far behind the young master with relief, and heard the young master's question in his ears. The words are very novel and incredible, what are they talking about! Not even the chairs were spared.
Just when everyone felt embarrassed, there was a knock on the door.
Su Ruojin was startled and hurriedly went to open the door. As soon as he took the door bolt, Hua Ping appeared in his sight with a cold look on his face.
“Uncle Hua!” Su Ruojin was not afraid of the northwest wind, stepped out of the threshold and ran towards the street, lifted a corner, and the oven was lying inside.
The little prince is so awesome!
She turned around and smiled brightly.
Zhao Lan stood at the door, looking at her and smiling.
Huaping: ...Why do you feel like nothing happens without me?
“Madam, the table will be delivered to you shortly.”
“Thank you, Uncle Hua, for your hard work!”
Hua Ping said, "You'd better thank Xiaojunwang Zhao first. If he hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have found it so quickly."
Su Ruojin glanced around the two of them, still smiling, "Thank you all, thank you all!"
There’s one more night left, family!
