Chapter 135: Royal Palace Flower Party 1
Hua Ping's eyebrows moved. Was he discovered on Wenshan Street that day? Was the young lady here to test him?
People with guilty consciences always think that others know everything.
Seeing that he was silent, Su Ruojin thought he was unwilling, "I won't let you ask in vain. I'll pay for expenses and hard work!"
Didn't find it? Are you really asking around?
"Who?" Hua Ping looked lazy, as if he could fall asleep on a recliner.
"My uncle."
When the young lady sees an older man, she either calls him brother or uncle. Who is she recognizing as uncle?
"You have quite a few uncles!"
Su Ruojin glared at him, "This time it's my uncle."
"Your father's family has come to the capital?"
She nodded. "My uncle passed the examination to become a scholar at the age of eleven, but he has not passed the examination to become a juren after nine years of studying. This time he came to the capital and wanted my father to get him to study in the Imperial Academy."
When Hua Ping heard this, he snorted coldly, "If you don't have talent, it won't help even if the king comes."
Su Ruojin sighed like a little adult, "Who said it wasn't?"
The villain is here again!
"Let me make it clear first. I'm just a street thug's hanger-on. I don't have any special abilities. I'll just find out as much as I can!"
Su Ruojin crossed her arms and snorted coldly: "Uncle Hua, you are not honest!"
"Why...why aren't you behaving yourself?" Oh no, was I being too deliberate?
"Uncle Shutong said that he saw you dealing with those street thugs on the street several times, looking like a small boss. How could he not get any information?"
So that's how it is. Hua Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The young lady of the Su family is too shrewd. If she accidentally reveals any clues, she will be able to guess his identity. It seems that he has to be more careful in the future.
"Okay, try your best."
He looked unreliable at first glance, which made Su Ruojin wonder if she had asked the wrong person. Should she ask Uncle Shi to find out?
However, Su Ruojin didn't have time to look for Shi Er, because the next day was the flower show at Prince Jin's Mansion, and the whole family was preparing to go to the palace.
It was pure nonsense to threaten Qian to buy 1,200 yuan worth of noodles that day. What kind of place is the royal palace? Who is Su Yanli? Their class has been clearly shown. Even if all the gold is piled on him, an eighth-rank official is still an eighth-rank official. There is no need to dress up or show anything. People just dragged the Su family over to show their faces and tell the people in the capital that I am protecting the Su family now, so you guys should take it easy.
But you can't be sloppy or too ordinary. You have to respect the opportunity to enter the palace.
The Dayin Dynasty was similar to the Song Dynasty. The clothes at this time became more euphemistic and simple from the rich and complicated ones of the previous dynasty. People wore a short jacket with narrow sleeves on the upper body and a long skirt on the lower body. Usually, a small long-sleeved jacket with a front opening was worn over the top of the jacket, which was very similar to the vest today. The collar and front of the jacket were embroidered with beautiful lace. The front part was open, without buttons or ropes to fasten it. The length of the jacket was mostly above the knee, and some were as long as the skirt.
From the perspective of shape, the silhouette of this kind of clothing is straight, wrapping the human body into a cylinder without any curves, which is in sharp contrast to the Tang Dynasty clothing with open collar, wide skirt, and large sleeves covered with light gauze.
Su Ruojin and her daughter wore the horse-faced skirt that was popular in later generations when they went to the palace. Cheng Yingzhen thought it was too abrupt. "Will others stare at us?"
When it comes to social phobia, the biggest fear is being different from others, being stared at by others, as if standing on the tip of a needle.
Su Ruojin chuckled and said with certainty, "No."
Cheng Yingzhen still didn't dare to dress so uniquely.
"Mom, have you forgotten that this style was bought by Jinxiufang when we went out last fall? Maybe many people are wearing this horse-faced skirt now."
“But when I look around…”
"Mom, last autumn was winter and everyone wore thick coats. Who would still wear a horse-faced skirt? But now is different. It's time to wear a horse-faced skirt after taking off the coats. Believe me, there will definitely be a lot of people wearing it, and I will definitely not attract attention."
Cheng Yingzhen was coaxed by her daughter into wearing an elegant and refined horse-faced skirt. She was not short, and the simple and graceful top coupled with the slender, gorgeous horse-faced skirt with superior pleats and drape made her look tall and outstanding, not only young but also very elegant.
Living a rich life without any work, after more than a year of raising her, Cheng Yingzhen not only lost her fatigue, but also became well-proportioned. At first glance, she looked like she had given birth to four children. She completely showed the appearance of a 28-year-old woman - mature, beautiful and gentle.
Su Ruojin felt very accomplished as she dressed her mother elegantly. She showed off to Su Yanli proudly, "Dad, how is it?"
Su Yanli's eyes had long been fixed on his wife, full of tenderness and affection.
Su Ruojin: ...For some reason, she had a premonition that there would be a new brother or sister in the family.
"Dad!" she shouted heavily, "It's time to set off."
Su Yanli came back to his senses and smiled, "Okay, let's go."
Su Ruojin rolled her eyes. It would be better not to let her be Dehua again, otherwise the couple would be in trouble.
Cheng Yingzhen felt shy when her husband looked at her, and asked guiltily, "What's wrong with Ah Jin?"
"She's jealous that you have a good husband."
"Don't talk nonsense." Cheng Yingzhen reached out and punched the man.
Su Ruojin rolled her eyes even wider, "Dr. Su, Madam Su, please be aware of the occasion."
The girl's rolling of her eyes made Su Yanli and his wife laugh non-stop. Even after getting on the carriage, they could still hear the two of them laughing.
In March, all things come back to life, willows are green, flowers are red, orioles are singing and swallows are dancing, the earth is full of vitality, the sun outside the window is bright and full of warmth, shining into the mule cart, the hair flutters in the wind, the body and mind are so light and relaxed, it feels so good!
We traveled lightly all the way and finally arrived at the Prince of Jin's Mansion near the imperial city.
Whether it was Su Ruojin or Su Yanli, it was their first time to come into contact with royal family members. It would be a lie to say that they were not nervous. In her previous life, Su Ruojin had never even come into contact with an eighth-rank official like Su Yanli. Her magnanimity and courage came entirely from the free, equal and affluent life in later lives.
There was an endless stream of carriages at the entrance of the palace. The Su family's big blue mule was quite eye-catching when it stopped. Just as the gossip started, Shuang Rui trotted out from the small door on the side with an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm sorry to have kept Dr. Su waiting for so long."
The guests waiting in line at the gate of the palace to tie up their horses:... Why did you wait so long? Didn't you see that the mule cart hadn't even completely disembarked! How could the personal attendant of the Prince of Pingyang be so polite?
They were wondering who this person was, but when they heard the three words "Dr. Su", they realized that he was the young prince's teacher.
That doesn't make sense. There is more than one Doctor Su teaching the young prince in the Imperial College. Are all doctors so polite to each other?
Someone whispered, "This is specifically invested in Dr. Su's name."
Oh~~~
Shuangrui stood in front of the big blue mule carriage. Originally, the young prince wanted to use a carriage to pick up the Su family, but Dr. Su pushed him away. He smiled and waited for the Su family to get off the carriage.
Today, Madam Su Er wore her hair in beautiful double buns. Her jet-black hair was wrapped with a beautiful silk ribbon and each bun had a pearl flower with a pendant inserted in it. It was simple and elegant, and it matched her snow-white and tender oval face, making her look very charming.
