Chapter 152 Sophora japonica delicacies
Princess Yuehua sneered: "I will make sure you can never marry her in your lifetime."
Su Ruojin thought her uncle would respond, but there was silence as if time had stopped.
Finally, it was the princess who broke the silence. She seemed to have regained her sanity and said calmly, "Su Shaobai, I love you and it won't change."
After saying this, he turned around magnificently, and his noble figure walked further and further away.
Su Ruojin stretched her head a little, and only retracted it when she saw Her Royal Highness the Princess turning the corner. Then, she stood up and tiptoed, trying to pass by her uncle who was sleeping with his head down without being noticed.
"Ajin——"
Just when she was about to slip away, Su Yanzu still discovered her.
He looked up, "Go back?"
"Yeah, are we going to sleep here?" Su Ruojin rolled her eyes at him, put down her tiptoes, turned around, and sat down next to King Wu.
Su Yanzu stood up, wondering why his niece didn't leave.
Su Ruojin stared at him thoughtfully, "You entered the Imperial College for your sweetheart?"
Su Yanzu did not deny it.
"This sweetheart still can't get the approval of grandparents?"
The little niece is really smart, Su Yanzu smiled.
"Is it a poor girl or a man?"
Su Yanzu's face suddenly darkened.
Su Ruojin slid down from the King of Wu's chair with an expression that said, "I know." She walked away with a half-smile, but was grabbed by Su Yanzu, "What do you know?"
“I just know it!”
Su Yanzu exchanged witty remarks with him, frowning and staring at her closely, as if he wanted to stare through his niece.
Su Ruojin was not afraid at all. "The Su family is really like this. They all like to live according to their hearts. Okay, very good!"
"Your father..."
"Stop!" Su Ruojin tilted her head, her face serious, "Don't guess!" After saying that, she pushed him away and walked away.
"I guess what..." Su Yanzu muttered to himself. When he thought about the sentence halfway through, he suddenly realized what his niece knew.
he:……
Stepping down the corridor, Su Ruojin couldn't help but sigh and looked back at the corridor. His uncle was standing in the wind, looking up at the blue sky. Perhaps he had no idea what kind of encounters this trip to Kyoto would bring and what impact it would have on his life.
Perhaps, he no longer cared about the fate and influence of life! What about her step-grandparents? Didn't they know that their legitimate son entered the Imperial College not to take the imperial examination?
If Su Yanzu was not her uncle, perhaps she would have given a free and easy blessing: Go wherever your heart desires, just walk forward; life is like a journey, and you can sail with just a reed.
But now, with his situation, it was a devastating blow to his step-grandparents, and it seemed to be a punishment for the mental suffering his father had suffered. But looking at Su Yanzu who was as light as the breeze, she just couldn't be happy.
What will happen to him when he is in love with his lover on one side and the princess on the other? Su Ruojin is no longer curious at all. She just hopes that everyone will stick to their original intentions and live their lives well.
Su Ruojin was heavy-hearted as she walked along the corridor, looking for her father and younger brother.
Looking at the rolling hills, the whole mountain is full of green, and the scenery is picturesque. The tender grass spread out like a green carpet always makes people want to lie down and touch the soft green.
Or, just roll on it and smell the fresh scent of the soil! The unknown little flowers that occasionally appear in between also bloom with bright smiles in the sunny weather, welcoming the arrival of midsummer!
"Ajin..."
"Sister..."
The Su Dalang brothers were standing at the gate of the academy. When they saw her, they called out to her at the same time. One of them was waiting with a smile like a warm-hearted boy, and the other pounced on her like a happy puppy.
"Brother, brother."
She swept away her heavy mood, greeted him with a smile, and reached out to catch Su Sanlang who was rushing towards her. If she had enough strength, she could have hugged him and spun him around a few times, but unfortunately she was small and weak, so she had to give up.
Holding his brother's hand, he walked to his father and Zhao Lan, "Dad, the little prince."
Su Yanli smiled gently and said, "We should go back." He subconsciously looked behind his daughter, but did not see his talented younger brother.
Su Ruojin felt his gaze, but did not remind him. His brother might be worried about what the princess said. No one could help.
"Didn't the young prince return to the capital with the princess?"
When she just came out, she was obviously unhappy, as if she had been bullied, but the moment she saw her family, she suddenly became bright and like a carefree glutinous rice dumpling, making her look soft and gentle.
Zhao Lan said nothing, just looked at him and turned to go down the mountain.
Su Yanli smiled, looking like everyone was waiting for this naughty boy.
Su Ruojin smiled apologetically.
Su Anzhi waved to everyone, and waited until they disappeared before turning back to the academy to continue his studies.
When he entered the door, he met Master Su who was seeing off Su Yanzu. His father had already told him that this Su Yanzu was his uncle, so he stopped to greet him.
Although they were strangers, Su Xiangheng kept telling him how good his nephew was. Su Yanzu was generous in praising him, "Work hard and be better than your father."
"Anzhi thanks his uncle for his encouragement."
Su Yanzu asked the servant to open the backpack and pulled out an ink painting from the clipboard. "It's our first meeting, so I don't have anything good to give you. Just treat it as a meeting."
Su Anzhi took it with both hands: "Thank you, uncle."
Su Xiangheng teased, "After all, he is my nephew. When will you give me a pair?"
Su Yanzu laughed and scolded: "You have already got several of them."
"How could it be in my hands? They were all snatched away by others." Princess Yuehua was among those who were snatched away, but Su Xiangheng did not dare to reveal it and just passed it over with one sentence.
In May, locust flowers bloomed all over the mountains and fields, swaying with the wind like surging waves. The fragrance drifted all over the fields, tempting the taste buds. On the way home, Su Ruojin couldn't help but ask Zhao Lan to stop the carriage and asked everyone to help pick a lot of them.
"Little Prince, come to my house tomorrow for the Sophora japonica feast."
Seeing the young lady in a good mood, Zhao Lan nodded: "Okay."
Sophora japonica flowers have a fragrant and sweet taste. They are not only rich in nutrients, but also a good way to supplement the poor food supply in the era of food and clothing shortages. They can be used to make soup, mixed rice, stewed rice, steamed Sophora japonica flower cakes, Sophora japonica flower dumplings, etc.
When eating Sophora japonica flowers, choose the unopened buds, which are the best. They have a crisp texture and a sweet aroma, but they are not too delicious!
On the second day, the locust flowers that had been kept in water overnight were as fresh and tender as if they had just been picked from the tree. Su Ruojin made everything she could think of, from rice and dumplings to soup, and then to steamed locust flower cakes, and finally coated them with egg liquid and fried them. Su Sanlang ate a small plateful of them while standing by the pot.
Su Ruojin didn't even wait for the table to be served, and brought a plate of food to Zhao Lan, who was sitting in the corridor enjoying the fresh air, as a snack.
I pinched one and put it in my mouth. It was crunchy, and a new fragrance filled my taste buds. I felt happy unconsciously. “Why did you think of making this?”
"There was one in the alley where I used to live. Many aunties brought their kids here to cook delicious food. My family also ate it often. Isn't it delicious?"
"tasty."
Su Ruojin raised her eyebrows and thought, "I'm used to the feasting and drinking, so it may not be delicious!"
“It’s delicious.”
