Chapter 180 So soft and powerful (two updates in one, 4000 words)
After eating and sitting for a while, the fourth prince went to run errands. Su Ruojin also continued to go to the shop. She gradually got into the groove of working, as if she had found the feeling she once had. She didn't stop all afternoon. She didn't know when Su Sanlang was taken away. Huaping took it out and when did he bring it back.
“Sister, when will you come home?” He was tired of playing.
Su Ruojin asked while sorting out the manuscript: "Will you come with me tomorrow?"
The little guy pursed his lips and said, "I won't follow you anymore." It didn't mean anything at all.
When the work came to an end, Su Ruojin breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, "Four..." unexpectedly found that Zhao Lan was also there, "Little Prince, when did you come here?"
In the afternoon, Zhao Lan saw off the fourth prince.
Shuang Rui was just about to say that the young master saw off the fourth prince when he came to the shop. He saw the second lady Su was busy and watched silently for a while. Seeing that she was fully focused, he went to the steward's room to handle official duties and waited until Su Sanlang came back to let him go. She came to her senses.
Stopped by Zhao Lan's eyes, he stepped aside and silently acted as a backdrop.
“How do you see it?”
Having been idle for a long time, Su Ruojin suddenly found a three-story shop. Su Ruojin felt itchy and couldn't help but rush in. Many thoughts came out, "Little Prince, this is what I think..." He was about to open the manuscript.
Six-year-old Su Sanlang called out impatiently, "Sister, I want to go home." The little guy bulged his mouth and shed tears of grievance.
"Okay..." the little cute baby cried. Su Ruojin hurriedly handed the manuscript to Mao Ya. Mao Ya reached out to take the manuscript from the little master, but when she reached it halfway, she was intercepted by Prince Zhao, who took the manuscript away.
Su Ruojin knelt down and wiped Adi's tears, "How old are you to have the nerve to cry?"
Su Sanlang acted coquettishly in front of his sister: "I miss my father, I miss my mother..."
Su Ruojin:…
Have only been out to play for a long time!
She subconsciously looked outside. It turned out that it was getting dark. No wonder Su Sanlang was making trouble. Children of several years old would look for their mothers when it got dark. If they couldn't find their mothers, they would feel insecure and would make troubles, especially little boys aged five or six. .
Su Ruojin didn't know why such a recognition appeared in her mind at this moment, and she didn't know how these things came into her mind. Anyway, she put her arms around Su Sanlang and carefully and gently comforted his emotions.
Zhao Lan looked at the dozens of pages of drawings in his hand. There were more than a dozen pages in the lobby alone. From the counter to the wine cabinet, the food display area, the arrangement of tables and chairs, partitions, etc., there were drawings for everything and every area, and there were also drawings. The dimensions are all marked, and they are comparable to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.
He calmly raised his eyes and glanced at the gentle young lady who was coaxing his younger brother. It was clear that when they first met, she was still acting like a spoiled child in his father's arms. In three years, she turned into a younger brother acting like a spoiled child to her.
Unknowingly, they have known each other for three years, and she has grown so much!
Zhao Lan originally planned to take his sister and brother to Fengle Building for dinner, but he didn't know whether it was because he was sleepy or it was dark in a strange place. No matter how delicious and fun the food was, Su Sanlang couldn't be attracted, so he had to go home.
In September, it gets dark early. In her previous life, Su Ruojin was born in a certain place where there was no nightlife. She felt that she was not a good child if she didn't go home before seven or eight o'clock, so she didn't want to go to Fengle Building for dinner, so she just I want to go home quickly.
Zhao Lan sent the siblings home.
Su Ruojin quickly declined: "The fourth steward can just send us off. Besides, Uncle Hua is also following us, so we won't bother the little prince."
“I happen to have knowledge and want to ask the teacher for advice.”
It was an excuse at first sight. He only went to school for half a day... No, I heard from my father that the little prince did not go to the Imperial College for the whole day recently. He wanted to ask for advice on what he learned.
The two looked at each other.
Zhao Lan was determined to give it away.
Su Ruojin had no choice but to let him go.
After leaving the restaurant, there were two carriages parked at the door. Zhao Lan led the young lady and her sister into the front one. Mao Ya wanted to follow but was stopped by Shuang Rui, "Madam Mao, the carriage you are riding in is behind."
Mao Ya did not move and looked at the little master.
Su Ruojin looked at Zhao Lan. During the day, Mao Ya and Qiu Yue were riding in the same car as their siblings.
Zhao Lan said, "Sanlang is sleepy. I opened the stool to let him sleep for a while."
Hearing that he was sleeping, Su Sanlang yawned reflexively.
It turned out that the little prince was quite thoughtful, so she turned around and said, "Sister Mao Ya, please sit in the back." She hugged her brother and thought to herself, we are all children, so it should be okay!
The little master spoke, and Mao Ya and others got on the carriage behind.
When she got on the carriage, she saw that the stool she usually sat on had become wider. Su Ruojin sat on it and hugged Su Sanlang in her arms. The little guy soon fell asleep while swaying. Just holding him in his arms, she herself Akira fell asleep.
Zhao Lan reached for a small blanket and covered the two siblings.
While moving forward, there were always rough moments on the road. Su Ruojin hugged her brother, but the bumpy road accidentally loosened her hand. Seeing that Su Sanlang was about to fall out with the inertia, Zhao Lan reached out to catch Su. Saburo, put him next to him and hugged him with one hand.
With his other hand, he was protecting Su Er Niang, who had also fallen asleep. When the inertia of the turn at the next intersection was about to throw her out, he caught the little lady with his other arm and gently placed her on the other side of his body.
Hand to the left, Zhao Lan was surrounded by the soft bodies of the Su siblings. His eyes naturally moved to the sleeping face of the little lady on the left, and he felt the incredible softness in his arms.
Amazing!
It turns out that holding a child feels so good. No wonder the teacher used to hold Ah Jin and now holds Su Xiaomei, which makes people's hearts soft and soft. This is an incredible experience, as if life has been extended, and there is joy and joy.
I don’t know how long I watched, but suddenly there was a bump. Zhao Lan regained consciousness and subconsciously hugged the two siblings tightly. She turned to look at Su Sanlang and also hugged the little boy. Why didn’t he feel this way about Su Sanlang?
He raised his head and thought carefully, had the teacher hugged Su Sanlang?
In the first year we met, the teacher held Ah Jin, and the steward of the Su family held Su Sanlang. Later, when Ah Jin was older and no longer held him, the teacher held Su Silang. This year, it was Su Wumei. In other words, the teacher held his child. Basically, they treat everyone equally. When both the young man and the young lady need to be hugged, he dotes on the young lady more.
So he also prefers little ladies?
Zhao Lan found sustenance for his preference for young ladies. Yes, he also liked daughters just like his teacher.
How come the soft, waxy and fragrant little lady doesn’t belong to his family?
It’s useless no matter how big your heart is, your body is that of a child. After a busy day, Su Ruojin fell asleep in the carriage due to exhaustion. When she woke up, she was already in bed. Chunxiao heard the noise and opened the bed curtain, "Jin Niang , are you awake?"
“What time is it?”
Chunxiao turned her head and looked at the hourglass, "At the beginning of Zishi."
It was eleven o'clock at night, and Su Ruojin woke up from hunger. Of course Chunxiao knew that, and had prepared delicious food for a long time. She quickly went to the kitchen to bring over the food that was warm in the pot, served the young master, washed her hands briefly, and put it on half a table in the room. Had a late dinner.
After eating, Su Ruojin rinsed her mouth and continued to sleep until dawn.
This morning, only Mao Ya and Hua Ping practiced their skills. The Su family siblings didn't get up until nine o'clock. After eating, they realized that Siping had been waiting for more than an hour.
Su Sanlang stopped following the road this time and ran to the alley to play with his friends. Su Ruojin still took the three of them and Siping to work on the shop.
Cheng Yingzhen asked her, "How long will you be busy?"
Su Ruojin made an estimate for the two shops. The design drawings are all done by hand. "It is estimated that they will be completed by the end of the month."
Cheng Yingzhen felt distressed when she came back last night and fell asleep from exhaustion before she even touched the bed. "You kid... the little prince has many capable people, why are you joining in the fun?"
After Siping heard this, he immediately said, "It was a small mistake yesterday. Let the second lady take a rest after lunch today. I will also send the second lady back early in the evening to ensure that the second lady is not tired."
That's about it. Cheng Yingzhen wanted to prevent her daughter from getting hurt, but she also knew that she couldn't do anything to help. The only thing she could do was to let her daughter do whatever she wanted to do.
“Come back soon, Ah Jin.”
“I got it, mother.”
When Su Ruojin entered the shop again, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper was waiting with a charcoal pen and paper. Siping introduced, "This is Mr. Shen. He is good at drawing straight lines like little ladies. The young master asked him to Come and help you."
“Mrs. Jin, just say, I will paint. If the painting is not good or wrong, please point it out to Mrs. Jin.”
Are you actually assigned an assistant? Zhao Lan can do it!
Su Ruojin accepted with a smile, "Sorry, sir."
“Mrs. Jin, you’re welcome.”
The two of them barely had time to get along, so they started talking and painting. Such a miraculous tacit understanding that even Su Ruojin couldn't believe it.
“Mr. is awesome.”
Being praised by a little lady, Shen Mingqing shook his head and laughed: "It is the little lady who is really powerful."
A nine-year-old girl's renovation of the restaurant's door, even if it is an experienced expert, I'm afraid it can't be more than that.
This little lady who appears in Huaping's mouth all day is indeed extraordinary.
After being praised back, Su Ruojin realized whether she had gone too far. Is it strange for a nine-year-old girl to do this?
Fortunately, Mr. Shen did not dwell on this topic, but promptly reminded her whether it was time to drink water or have lunch. This time, she had lunch just behind the shop, across an alley, and there was an elegant and exquisite restaurant. In the small courtyard, food has been put on the table.
“Little lady, please—”
Su Ruojin felt like an important guest and was treated very considerately.
Most of the dishes on the table are dishes that Su Ruojin has cooked before. It is estimated that the cook is from the Jin Palace, and these recipes are probably exploited by Mrs. Xu from herself.
Thinking of Mrs. Xu, I feel that a long time has passed since the Su family once lived in poverty.
It tastes okay!
After eating, Su Ruojin was urged to take a nap again. She had work, food and drink, and a lunch break. She was urged to get off work before five o'clock in the evening. How could she live such a nourishing life in this small life!
Su Ruojin worked on how to decorate the two shops until the end of September, then worked out all the drawings and required materials with Mr. Shen and gave them to Siping.
At night, in the secret courtyard of the Investigation Department, Mr. Shen took the drawings given to Siping and looked at them carefully. He sighed with emotion, "It's a pity that I am neither from the Ministry of Housing nor from the Ministry of Works. Otherwise, with just one hand, I I will definitely become a good accountant in the Accounts Department, and with these drawings, I can move around in the Works Department.”
Zhao Lan glanced at him and glanced at the drawings and material budget sheets on the table, "Don't talk nonsense here. These are not all drawn by you and calculated by you. If you want to be a good player or go sideways, you can come to me now." Father, let him get you in."
It was just a disguised compliment to the little lady. The young master was not only unhappy, but also very serious.
Mr. Shen immediately understood why the young master was so sensitive. Dr. Su's eldest daughter was only nine years old, and she was a young lady. She was simply a child prodigy. If word spread, being a young man would certainly help his future, but the young lady...
If you want someone to be good to you, it is best to protect her silently. Mr. Shen immediately shut up and never mentioned it again.
Zhao Lan asked Santai to put away the drawings and budget, "Give it to Siping tomorrow and have someone find a craftsman to start renovating it. If anyone asks about the drawings and other things, just say it's the skilled craftsman I found."
“Yes, young master.”
Santai retreated.
Zhao Lan put his hand on his forehead, "The fourth brother Huang asked how to avoid the household department and repair the shopkeeper's house for the winter. He asked me to think of a way for him."
Mr. Shen asked back: "His Royal Highness King Yan didn't ask you to come up with a solution for him, right?"
The title of the fourth son of the emperor is Yan.
Zhao Lan raised his eyes and said: "Last year, even though the spies from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce had greeted Fourth Brother in advance, they were still caught by King Wei and King Qi, and ended up in a bad situation in front of the Holy Master. Mr. Hu was well-informed and knowledgeable, so he helped Think about it together, it’s still a favor.”
Mr. Shen was noncommittal.
Although the prince has no backer, he is still the prince after all. Several princes actually acted as if the prince did not exist and were fighting among themselves. But when the young master brought it up, he had to analyze it: "If you want to repair the house of Lou shopkeeper, it is nothing more than money." , and if the money is not taken from the Hubu, where will it go if it is not taken from the Hubu? The King of Yan will definitely face the King of Wei."
There are two outcomes. One is that King Qi makes various excuses not to give him money, so that he cannot complete the repairs. The other is that even if he gives money, it is probably a drop in the bucket, and it will also be completed. Wait until winter, if there is If the problem arises, those guys from Yushitai will come up to remonstrate again, and King Yan is afraid that he will lose his job in the Ministry of Industry.
The cold weather in winter is not a good time to decorate a shop, but a restaurant shop is different from an ordinary private house. If it is not installed and used quickly, the loss will be great. Fortunately, most of the ancient decorations were made of wood, even if it is cold , it won’t have much impact.
In order to thank Su Ruojin for drawing decoration drawings and calculating materials for the two shops, Zhao Lan invited Su Ruojin and his family to have dinner at Fengle Building on the first day of October.
It was a cold day, and even the first floor in the world was no longer attractive. Su Ruojin really didn’t want to go out, but Zhao Lan came to pick her up in person. Su Ruojin had to go even if he didn’t want to. It’s hard to refuse such kindness!
This is the private room every time. Su Ruojin suspected that the room in Fengle Building was reserved by Zhao Lan.
She approached him and asked in a low voice, "Really?"
Zhao Lan smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
It’s true!
“Full year package?”
"Um."
Su Ruojin took a breath, "How much will it cost?"
Zhao Lan smiled and didn't reply. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell the lady some things, but that the weighing of pros and cons and intrigues in the man's world were really unnecessary.
