Chapter 171 Hua Ping’s Thoughts
Su Yanli was sitting next to his wife, playing with his little daughter who was a few months old. He didn't even notice that the student was so close to his eldest daughter, and of course he didn't expect that the student had already considered abducting his daughter.
What would happen if you knew?
The sunshine in March is gentle but not dry, making people feel comfortable. The willows and flowers are charming, the green mountains and streams are full of vitality. You can be intoxicated by the breeze and beautiful scenery, and enjoy the quiet time with your family. You can feel that even your breathing is filled with the spring spirit of love.
On the road, flowers are blooming into a sea, refreshing and indifferent, why not return home slowly!
Su Yanli took three days off, and could still spend two days playing near Dongshan Academy. There was a place to live outside the city, so the Su family was not in a hurry to return to the city. They stayed until the sun set and the cool breeze started to play before returning to Su Ji's morning tea shop.
After flying a kite in the afternoon, Su Ruojin returned to Suji. She didn’t even eat dinner. After washing herself, she crawled into bed and fell asleep. She was so tired. She was tired from busy business in the morning, and her outing with her family in the afternoon was also very exhausting. Anyway, as soon as she got into bed, she went to meet Duke Zhou, and she didn't even have time to ask Zhao Lan if he was going back to the city.
Su Yanli left Zhao Lan behind and realized that the two rooms used for entertaining guests had been converted into morning tea rooms by her daughter. "I'm really sorry for Zijin. If you don't mind, I'll ask Zijin to stay in Dalang's room."
Zhao Lan refused, “I have a place to live in Wenshan Street.”
Su Yanli still felt sorry for him and asked him to stay.
Seeing Dr. Su's apology and guilt, Shuangrui smiled and said, "The Dongsheng Restaurant on Wenshan Street is the property of my young master, and there is a residence for him in it."
If Su Ruojin was here, she would definitely be surprised. Isn't it the restaurant where she met Su Xiangheng for dinner last time? Unexpectedly, it was the property of the little county prince.
Su Yanli and his wife sent the young prince to the door and waited until he got on the carriage before turning back and entering the courtyard.
After a busy day, Ye Huaizhen, the female shopkeeper of Su Ji, had no time until Haishi (ten o'clock). After checking the shop, she dragged her tired body back to her room to sleep. When she walked to the door of the room, she saw someone standing with arms crossed and one leg leaning against the door.
“What’s the point of being a playboy?”
“I’ve been helping you all day, and you’re treating me like this?”
Ye Huaizhen sneered lightly, "I didn't ask anyone to help me." After that, he opened the door and entered the house.
Huaping put down his legs and stretched out his arms to stop others from opening the door. "I made some tea or some wine?"
"I don't have as much energy as Mr. Hua. I have to open the shop early tomorrow, so I won't chat with Mr. Hua." Ye Huaizhen pushed his blocking arm, but didn't move at all. He raised his eyes and said, "I know Mr. Hua's skills." Okay, there’s no need to embarrass me as a prostitute!”
The woman opposite refused to take advantage of him and made it clear that she didn't like him. Huaping was a little helpless. When his brain was weak, he was too lazy to think. When he was lazy, problems would arise. "You are not young anymore. Why are you so tired? You might as well find a man to marry." ”
This kind of straight man, no matter how handsome he is, is single based on his ability.
Ye Huaizhen was too lazy to sneer at him. Instead, she stood in front of someone with her arms folded, "I will never marry in this life, no matter what age I am."
Hua Ping looked at her with contempt, "If you don't get married in your twenties, you will have to pay taxes. You have been paying taxes for several years."
“How many years does it matter to you?” Ye Huaizhen, tired and sleepy, ran out of patience and sneered, “Besides, do I look like someone who can’t afford to be friends?”
Huaping:…
The light from the lantern in the corridor was dim and dim, but it could not hide Hua Sicha's embarrassment. Even a classic male chauvinist sentence appeared in his mind: Why should women come out to show themselves? Shouldn't they be at home caring for their husbands and raising children?
This time, Ye Huaizhen was scornful and pushed him away, "Say this in front of your boss and see if she will hire you in the future." "What...words?" Hua Ping thought to herself, what should I say? Oh...ah...did I just say what I was thinking?
this…
Ye Huaizhen gave a fake smile, and when the other person was stunned, he pushed him to open the door and went in, then slammed the door shut with his backhand.
Huaping:…
No, he clearly wanted to ask you, you didn’t eat much for dinner, would you like some midnight snack, but what did he just say...what did he say...
Hua Ping, who has been dragging her around, encountered the Waterloo of his life. He finally found a woman who was compatible with him. Unexpectedly, after knowing him for half a year, she didn't even care about him. Could it be that women are reserved? Looking for a matchmaker?
The little prince looked for Huaping, and Siping came to call for someone through Su Ji's bento. Unexpectedly, he stood at the door of the Moon Cave and watched the play. He shook his head and laughed, waving to him.
Huaping put away his annoyance and followed Siping out of Suji and onto Wenshan Street. He habitually looked around with vigilance. The clues revealed in the Dongshan Academy Explosives Case and the Dragon Boat Festival Attempt Case all pointed to Wenshan Street. However, all along , they didn't even find out which shop on Wenshan Street was the stronghold of the Liaoxia people.
In fact, last year, the Detective Department found out that there were spies from the Liaoxia Kingdom in Wenshan Street, but they were too cunning and cautious, and they kept slipping away.
Zhao Lan and Hua Ping gathered together under the lamp and decided to take advantage of the opening of Su Ji’s morning tea shop to get to know the shopkeepers of various shops on Wenshan Street.
“Yu Hou, how many days do you plan to stay here?”
Yu Hou, the official name of Zhao Lan.
As mentioned earlier, the Imperial City Department has a very powerful authority, similar to that of the Jinyi Guards. One hand controls the palace guards, and the other hand conducts spying and supervision. The official departments under its jurisdiction include: Detective Department and Bingjing Affairs.
Among them, the people in charge of the leadership are all personally deployed by the emperor. They are usually selected from the Forbidden Army Department or the Guards and Pro-Army Department. These two departments are combined into the Palace Front Department, and their subordinate organizations are commanding the Envoy Department in the Palace Front. The three yamen are collectively known as the "Three Yamen" together with the Guards and Pro-Army Horse and Army Command Division and the Guards and Infantry Commander-in-Chief Division, subordinate to the Guards and Pro-Army Department.
The "two divisions and three yamen" system was the highest command organization of the imperial army in the Yin Dynasty.
Yu Hou is one of the commanders in front of the palace. He is ranked in the fifth rank and ranks above the official defense envoy. In the command sequence of the Dianqian Division, he is second only to the Dianqian Metropolitan Commander and the Dianqian Deputy Commander. The three yamen in charge of the army are located above Yuhou, the capital of the horse army and the infantry capital of the guards and pro-army.
Fourteen-year-old Zhao Lan, in addition to being born with the title of Pingyang County Prince, now also has an official position from the fifth rank, making him a powerful person among the powerful.
The Su family will stay here for three days, and Zhao Lan will stay here for at least three days.
Hua Ping probably guessed it, but he was still surprised when he heard Zhao Xiaojunwang admit it personally. He thought to himself, I handle official and private matters together. Could it be that Xiaojunwang also wants to win over his mother-in-law?
But there are two little girls from the Su family, one is nine years old and the other is less than a year and a half old, so they can’t book a wedding now!
Hua Ping smiled to himself, feeling better about being rejected by a woman. When the moon was in the sky, he left Dongsheng Restaurant and quietly returned to Su Ji.
On the second day, if it weren't for Su Wumei's loud crying, Su Ruojin would have been able to sleep until noon. When her little sister woke her up, Su Ruojin didn't even have a place to vent her anger after getting up. She sat by the dressing table, yawning all the time, and asked, "How's business at the shop?"
Mao Ya fetched some face wash, came in from the outside, and said with a smile, "It's pretty good."
“Are they all those people?”
Mao Ya said, "I heard from Shopkeeper Ye, mainly the bosses and shopkeepers on the street, as well as the masters of Wenshan Academy."
It is indeed this group of people, Su Ji’s morning tea shop is ready!
