Chapter 179 The mediocre big shot
Since there was a shop, Su Ruojin listed all the morning tea and hot pot recipes to Zhao Lan's steward Siping, but he refused to leave after taking them.
“Is there anything else the fourth manager has to do?”
Siping bowed his hands and smiled respectfully: "Whether it's a morning tea shop or a hot pot restaurant, I've never seen it before, so I'm not sure, so I asked the second lady to help me give some ideas."
“What idea do you mean?”
“Whether it’s the renovation of the shop or the matching of dishes, please ask the second lady for guidance.”
“The fourth steward is humble.”
Siping still asked her for help.
Su Ruojin did not want to participate. Firstly, she was 'young', and secondly, she hugged her thighs and hugged her thighs. She could give him a meat grinder or give him food prescriptions, but she always paid attention to her sense of propriety and did not get too close to Zhao Lan.
Su Ji's breakfast shop on Wenshan Street asked Zhao Lan for help. This was a hugging behavior, letting the wealthy customers know that Su Ji was not to be trifled with. But now that she is asked to participate in Zhao Lan's general affairs, what is this, just giving advice?
Seeing the young lady's hesitation, Siping smiled again and said, "The little prince said that whether it is a morning tea shop or a hot pot restaurant, we are on equal footing with the young lady."
Zhao Lan's two stores are much larger than Mrs. Fan's, but they are still giving 30% of the money. Doesn't that mean she will become a rich little woman?
Su Ruojin couldn’t refuse.
“Okay, I’ll go over and check out two stores tomorrow.”
Seeing that she finally relaxed, as if she had completed a major task, Siping secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The young one will come to pick up the second lady tomorrow morning."
Su Ruojin nodded and agreed, so come and pick it up!
After seeing off Siping, Su Ruojin turned around and entered the yard, but was stopped by his neighbor on the left, Mr. Xue, "Ah Jin—"
“Master Xue?”
"What are you calling me, sir!" Master Xue smiled like a wolf grandma, "Just call me Uncle Xue."
She is not Little Red Riding Hood.
Su Ruojin smiled innocently and asked, "What's the matter with Uncle Xue?"
Mr. Xue asked: "Is the faucet still working? Do you want to make a few more?"
She knew what Mr. Xue wanted to do as soon as she heard it. Although the theft of the drawings was found to have nothing to do with Mr. The adults are marginalized in the Ministry of Works and feel a little bit difficult to move forward.
If Su Ruojin's guess is correct, he is now eager to make a particularly eye-catching achievement to reintegrate into the Ministry of Works. He borrowed the power of the faucet from the last promotion and salary increase, and he also wants to get rare things from her to return to glory. time.
Even if she has rare things, she has to adapt to the opportunity and get modern things casually. At her age, it would be strange not to be burned as a monster.
She shook her head, "No."
Mr. Xue, who came in anticipation, was full of disappointment.
Su Ruojin shrugged her shoulders and said helpless, "Uncle Xue, I'm going home."
Unable to get help from the young lady, Xue Changcheng was listless and turned to go home.
On the second day, Uncle Hua Ping, who had not come to the Su family to teach boxing for many days, finally showed up and brought a large group of enemy spies. He was obviously in a good mood and pulled the lazy Su Sanlang out of bed.
“You brat, you’ve given back everything you learned some time ago to your master, right?”
Su Sanlang has been being pinched by Su Ruojin's ears. It was rare that he was lazy today, but unexpectedly he was caught by the master. He explained to Hua Ping that he didn't believe it. Not only that, he also punished the lazy apprentice severely.
Su Sanlang was squealing as he was torturing him, as if he was killing a pig. Everyone came to the corridor to watch, and the six-year-old Su Ganzhi even turned red in the face.
After breakfast, Su Ruojin went out with Siping. Su Sanlang was too embarrassed to stay at home and insisted on going out with him.
Su Ruojin didn't want to take him with her. She wasn't going out to play, but Su Sanlang insisted on going. Once he got entangled with someone, his grudge would be beyond the reach of ordinary people, so he had no choice but to take this follower with him.
It was September and the autumn air was crisp. It was really nice to go out for a walk. The two siblings looked at the lively streets outside, chattering and chattering.
Half an hour later, Siping took Su Ruojin to Xu Ji Restaurant, which was confiscated by the government.
"Now it belongs to the little prince." Siping pointed to the building next door and said, "That one also belongs to the little prince. It is also empty now and is used as a morning tea building."
They are all small three floors! Su Ruojin was jealous. She was indeed a descendant of the royal family, so she casually took pictures of two more shops. If it were an ordinary person, who would dare to take them.
Su Ruojin suppressed her exclamation and quickly got down to business. She didn't see a penny, so she got to work first.
She took out her eyebrow pencil and wrote on the paper, and Su Sanlang jumped around beside her. Although they were only three years apart, they felt like they were thirteen or even twenty years apart.
The morning time passed quickly, and before she could clear the lobby, Siping came over to invite her, "Second lady, the young prince has ordered lunch at Fengle Building, and asked me to take you there."
Su Ruojin:…
It only takes less than an hour to have the best lunch in the world, right?
Siping invited him with a smile.
Su Ruojin had no choice but to be hospitable and follow the host's changes.
I came out today and followed three people, Mao Ya, Qiu Yue, and Uncle Hua Ping. She took her third brother's hand and followed Siping out of the shop, got on the carriage, and arrived at Fengle Building half an hour later. Siping welcomed them directly to the private room on the fifth floor.
Su Sanlang had never been here before. It was the first time he went up to such a high building. He was so surprised that he opened the window and looked out, "Sister, it's really high. Look, is that the palace?"
You can't point at the palace at will. Su Ruojin quickly pressed his hand, "Just look at it, don't point at it, be careful to behead."
“Ah!” Su Sanlang was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand.
Zhao Lan stood on the side and watched the two siblings playing around. He didn't ask the two siblings to come to the table to eat until the food on the table was almost there.
The table was full, and Su Ruojin couldn't help but remind her, "Little Prince, we are all children and we can't eat so much."
Are they all children?
When Hua Ping heard this, he almost rolled his eyes. Prince Zhao was fourteen years old and was already a fifth-rank Yuhou of the Detective Department. Lady Su Er was nine years old and had been doing business for three years. She probably didn't even earn a thousand taels a month now. Next words.
Can these two be considered children? Su Sanlang was tired and hungry from playing, and his eyes lit up when he looked at the food. He was the only one who could be considered a child.
It’s true that he’s a child. Zhao Lan didn’t ask anyone to serve wine, but only served fruit drinks. He was asking the waiter to help him pour it, when someone at the door smiled and handed over his hands, “Little Prince Zhao, can my young master come in and have a meal?”
Everyone in the private room looked towards the sound.
Su Ruojin and her brother did not know each other.
Zhao Lan immediately put down his chopsticks and left his seat when he saw the waiter at the door.
Su Ruojin realized that the person who could make Prince Zhao stand up to greet him must be above him, so he pulled his third brother to get down from his seat and followed him.
The attendant came in and stepped aside. A young man in his twenties put his hands behind his hands and said with a smile, "Jinzhi, I didn't bother you."
“What are you talking about, fourth brother?” Zhao Lan extended his hand to invite him.
The man called Fourth Brother smiled and did not move. "Where have I seen the young lady and young gentleman behind Jin Zhi?" He turned to look at his entourage.
A waiter who was similar to him said, "Young master, you have a good memory. These two are the young lady and young gentleman who stood next to Prince Zhao during the Dragon Boat Festival."
Dragon Boat Festival?
Su Ruojin suddenly understood who was coming. It was the fourth prince—Zhao Jing, the prince who was considered the most mediocre by the court because he was on an errand for the Ministry of Works.
No matter how mediocre the fourth prince is, to people like Su Ruojin, he is a noble person, a big shot. A person with such a high status can still remember two children. Either he has a really good memory, or he is always paying attention to Zhao Lan. , closed the house and the house, so I also remembered them as siblings.
In front of big shots, Su Ruojin, like Su Yanli, tried every means to reduce his presence, and even made himself invisible.
Seeing that the young lady and her younger brother lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, making themselves look like quails, Zhao Lan inadvertently took a step and blocked the fourth prince's sight, "Fourth brother, please—"
The fourth prince was very approachable: "Are these two little ones your teacher's children?"
“Yes, fourth brother.”
“Isn’t my elder brother about the same age as your teacher’s son?”
Zhao Lan pulled out a chair for the fourth prince and helped him sit down, "Well, he is the same as Yao'er, he is also six years old."
Hearing that they were as old as his son, the fourth prince became more approachable. "I'd like to take them to the palace to play with Yao'er when I have time."
Su Ruojin:…
Hearing this, she felt as if the palace was an ordinary place where her siblings were allowed to enter.
Brother, you are the son of the emperor. That is the royal palace. The biggest official I have ever seen in my previous life is probably the director of the county education bureau. That was something I was lucky enough to see only when I inspected the school.
As expected, he followed Zhan Guang and saw the emperor's son because he was holding his thigh.
Well...it would be better if you can leave after reading it. I have been busy for a long time in the morning and I am hungry. How can such a big shot let people eat?
Probably because the fourth prince was too approachable and wanted to introduce his son to Su Sanlang, Su Sanlang ate without restraint. Su Ruojin was affected and slowly relaxed and just filled his stomach.
There was no wine on the table. Zhao Lan asked someone to get the wine, but the fourth prince blocked him. "I went out to run errands and stopped by for a meal. I have to go to the shop in the afternoon."
Zhao Lan stopped being polite and poured him juice instead of ordering wine. "Is it for house repairs?"
"Hmm." The fourth prince said, "Winter is coming soon. If the roof and walls are damaged, they may not be able to withstand the heavy snow."
“Tianzuojian said that there will be heavy snowfall this winter, and repairs on public rental housing must be arranged early.”
Zhao Lan echoed a few words, and the fourth prince Zhao Jing smiled and said, "I heard that you have two shops and you want to renovate them?"
He nodded, "Yes, now you want to repair the public rental housing, I guess the employer will take advantage of it."
"It can't be that fast. I'll look at it again and apply for approval. I'll go through all the yamen and get it to Dad. It'll probably be the Chinese New Year."
What a typical bureaucracy. Su Ruojin almost laughed out loud when she heard the fourth prince's faint words, "It's probably the Chinese New Year." Fortunately, he lowered his head in the bowl and didn't lose his composure.
I didn’t expect that it would be so difficult for a prince to run an errand, let alone an ordinary person. It turns out that everyone has their own difficulties.
Sorry, King Jin is set to be the brother of the official family. Chapter 98 mentioned that he is an uncle, which is wrong. Binghe wanted to change it, but it was locked and there is no way to change it. I will talk to the editor tomorrow and I will unlock it. Change it over!
