She saw Si Yan and Nian Li chasing and playing in the garden. Si Yan held an abacus in his hand, and Nian Li held a small shuttlecock. The two chased each other, and their laughter echoed in the garden. Su Jinli looked at them, her heart full of relief. At this time, Su Qingyao's voice came from behind: "Jinli, are you awake?" Su Jinli turned around and saw Su Qingyao standing at the door with a gentle smile on her face. "Good morning, Qingyao." Su Jinli responded. Su Qingyao walked into the room and said, "Let's go shopping together today. It's been a long time since I went to the market in the capital with you." Su Jinli readily agreed: "Okay, I was thinking of going to have a look too. I wonder if there have been any changes in the market in the capital in the past three years."
After the two of them packed up, they left the Prime Minister's Mansion together. The market in the capital was still bustling with people coming and going. There were all kinds of stalls, some selling jewelry, some selling snacks, and some selling all kinds of rare things. Su Jinli and Su Qingyao strolled in the market, feeling this familiar yet strange atmosphere. "Jinli, look at this hairpin, it's so beautiful!" Su Qingyao picked up a hairpin inlaid with pearls and exclaimed. Su Jinli took a look, nodded and said, "It's really beautiful, and it suits you very well." Su Qingyao smiled and put the hairpin on her head and asked, "Does it look good?" Su Jinli smiled and said, "It looks good, it makes you look more beautiful."
As they continued to stroll, Su Jinli saw a stall selling calligraphy and paintings. She walked over and picked up a painting to examine it carefully. It was a landscape painting, with green mountains and clear waters, vivid and lifelike. Su Jinli couldn't help but think of the magnificent mountains and rivers they had seen during their travels, and her heart was filled with emotion. At this moment, a voice sounded in her ears: "Girl, you have a good eye, this painting is from the hands of a famous artist." Su Jinli looked up and saw the stall owner looking at her with a smile. She smiled and asked, "How much?" The stall owner quoted a price, which Su Jinli thought was a bit expensive, so she bargained with the stall owner. Su Qingyao, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Jinli, your bargaining skills are getting better and better." Su Jinli winked playfully and said, "This is a skill I learned while traveling outside." In the end, Su Jinli bought the painting at a satisfactory price.
After visiting the market, Su Jinli and Su Qingyao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a lot of gains. As soon as they entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, they saw Young Marquis Su waving a big sword and practicing martial arts in the yard. His movements were neat and vigorous, which made Su Jinli and Su Qingyao applaud again and again. When Young Marquis Su saw them coming back, he stopped what he was doing, ran over and asked, "Sister, where have you been? What good things did you buy?" Su Qingyao smiled and showed him the hairpin in her hand, and said, "Isn't it beautiful?" Young Marquis Su took a look and said, "Well, it looks good. My eldest sister looks good in anything she wears." Su Jinli showed the painting to Young Marquis Su and said, "What do you think of this painting?" Young Marquis Su took a look and said, "It's a very good painting, sister, you have a good eye."
Just then, Madam Liu approached with her illegitimate son. Seeing the things in Su Jinli and Su Qingyao's hands, a flicker of jealousy crossed Madam Liu's eyes. She smiled and said, "Jinli and Qingyao must have gone shopping and bought so many things." Su Jinli smiled politely and said, "Yes, it's been a while since I've been to the market, so I couldn't help but buy more." The illegitimate son lowered his head, not daring to speak. Su Jinli looked at the illegitimate son and couldn't help but feel a little pity for him. She knew that under Madam Liu's guidance, the illegitimate son had become somewhat cowardly, but she also hoped that he would face life bravely.
In the evening, a family dinner was held at the Prime Minister's residence. The family sat together, laughing and talking happily. Prime Minister Su looked at the scene of the family reunion, his heart filled with joy. He said, "The Jinli family has been traveling abroad for the past three years and has experienced many things. We have also heard many interesting stories. I hope that in the days to come, our family can continue to live in harmony like this." Everyone nodded in agreement. In a warm atmosphere, the family dinner continued, everyone savored the food and shared happiness, as if all troubles had disappeared in that moment. And the Prime Minister's residence was once again filled with vitality and vigor because of the return of Su Jinli and her family.
