Chapter 162 Thank You
After eating a bowl of delicious mutton noodles, all the hustle and bustle and worries disappeared. Zhao Lan leaned back in his chair, feeling too lazy to move.
Mother Dong came over to clean up the dishes and said to Shuang Rui and the others in a low voice, "I've also made noodles for you. Manager Shuang, please—"
Shuangrui and the others went to the kitchen with Mother Dong to have dinner. It was the New Year period, and it was a busy time. They had to go to the palace to pay respects to the emperor and the ladies, interact with the clans, and deal with the personal relationships of the aristocratic families. The most important thing was that the young prince had no days off in his job. As long as there was a situation, he had to be dispatched at any time. Not only were they very tired, but they were also often hungry. Unexpectedly, Madam Su could tell at a glance that the young master had not had dinner.
He felt strange. How did Madam Su know that the young master had not had dinner?
Su Ruojin didn't know that Shuangrui had so many thoughts when he walked a few steps. She also didn't know whether Zhao Lan had eaten or not. But the first sentence Chinese people say when they greet each other is "Have you eaten?"
In an era of food scarcity, having a full meal is simply the greatest satisfaction. Zhao Lan certainly has no shortage of food, but apart from the first sentence "Long time no see", Su Ruojin didn't know how to get along with the young man afterwards. She could just find something to ask if he had eaten. If he hadn't eaten, then it would be a good opportunity to make something for him so that he would have something to do. Wouldn't that avoid the awkward silence?
She is smart!
Sure enough, when Shuangrui and others went to eat, the huge lobby suddenly seemed empty. Zhao Lan sat sideways to rest, while Su Ruojin sat quietly beside him.
Everyone was silent. It was so quiet that the only sound was the whistling northwest wind outside the door. The two copper oil lamps were swaying in the wind that seeped in through the door, and the shadows on the wall also moved from east to west, which was a bit scary.
Su Ruojin stared at the door, not knowing when the lost items would be delivered back. He was indeed a powerful person, and he could handle things so quickly. If the case was reported to the government, it would probably fall on deaf ears.
That’s why everyone wants to climb up!
Hey, isn't Uncle Hua a spy? Why would he go to see Prince Zhao? They occasionally meet each other, so he went to see Zhao Lan and Zhao Lan gave him face? Her father's face was too big to let a caregiver of Su Ji work for Prince Zhao?
Also, even if Uncle Hua is a spy who can accurately find the young prince, can he easily meet the young prince? At the end of the year, Zhao Lan is either in the mansion or in the palace! Even if someone reports to Zhao Lan, it won't be so fast, right?
The young prince only went to school half a day and worked on errands the other half a day, but Su Yanli never knew what specific job Zhao Lan did. Was he too disdainful to tell him, or was he unable to tell him?
Uncle Hua found the young prince quickly and accurately, and the young prince came so quickly... Could it be that they knew each other? Was it a superior-subordinate relationship?
Su Ruojin was thinking about this and that, and her eyes unconsciously turned to Zhao Lan. Could it be that he was on a mission for the Imperial City Bureau, and that the work involved was state secrets? And Uncle Hua Ping was his subordinate?
"What do you want to ask, Jin?"
Well!
Su Ruojin realized that she was staring at the handsome boy and suddenly turned her head away guiltily. The next moment, she realized that something was wrong and turned back as if nothing had happened. She grinned and said, "I think the young prince has almost rested. Otherwise, you go back and do your work first. I'll wait for Uncle Hua to come back here."
Zhao Lan looked at the young lady and said slowly, "No hurry!"
"Oh, I'm afraid of delaying the young prince. It's good that you don't have to rush."
Okay, you are not in a hurry, and I am even less in a hurry. But the next moment, she still stood up, walked to the door, and listened to the sounds outside, as if she was expecting Hua Ping to come home soon.
Over the past six months, not only Zhao Lan has grown taller, but eight-year-old Su Ruojin has also grown a lot taller. Her slightly chubby body like a glutinous rice dumpling has also become slimmer, and she can feel that she has grown a lot taller even when wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket.
I haven't seen you for half a year. It turns out you have grown so tall.
Zhao Lan also stood up from his chair and walked to the side of the young lady. "Did you hear the sound of the carriage?" While asking, he quietly measured the young lady's height, but still at his waist. Why... is she growing so slowly?
The tall figure blocked the copper oil lamp. Su Ruojin was still thinking about whether Zhao Lan and Hua Ping knew each other and whether they were in a superior-subordinate relationship. She didn't expect him to suddenly walk up to her. She was almost startled and lost her composure.
In life, as soon as you enter the shop, see the copper basin, talk about the meat grinder, etc., almost all of them are related to the little prince. The little prince has been mentioned countless times in the Su family, as if he is closely related to the life of the Su family.
So after not seeing each other for half a year, Su Ruojin didn't feel strange when they met, and even said "Long time no see" in a friendly manner. But when they really met, they had nothing to say.
Family, who understands! Is it just like what the song says, the most familiar stranger?
Bah, bah, that’s not right. That’s a song about lovers. What does it have to do with her?
Su Ruojin smiled friendly at the young prince who asked the question, "The wind was too loud, I didn't hear it."
She didn't hear it, but she was listening so seriously. Zhao Lan found it funny, but he was afraid that the young lady was shy, so he didn't dare to laugh.
"I heard you have a sister?"
"Yes!" Su Ruojin's smile instantly switched to a sincere one, "Thank you for the gift, young prince. I thank you on behalf of my sister."
"Yeah." Zhao Lan looked down at him and nodded vaguely. The teacher already has two daughters, so it wouldn't be too much to take one of them away from him!
"Your sister's name is..."
"Su Ruyi."
"You are content with it and enjoy it?"
"Yes, the young prince is very smart."
Zhao Lan, who is already smart: ...
He smiled immodestly, "Teacher thought Ruosu was not good, so I changed her to Ruojin."
"That's right." Su Ruojin thought to herself, why did it feel like this was an awkward conversation? She walked to the stool and sat down, but then she felt something was wrong and quickly stood up, "Young Prince, please sit down..."
She sat down before the other guests did. How rude of her to do that.
Zhao Lan walked back and turned around to sit back in his chair. "Why doesn't your chair have armrests?"
The chairs in Dayin Dynasty all have armrests, but Su Ruojin makes modern tables and chairs, which are simple and have no armrests.
“To save materials and space.”
Shuangrui had finished eating and entered the hall. He glanced around and saw Xianggui and the others sticking to the corner like invisible people, not moving. He moved to a place not far behind the young master and heard the young master's questions. He felt very curious and incredible. What was they talking about? They even didn't let go of the chairs.
Just when everyone was feeling awkward, there was a knock on the door.
Su Ruojin was startled and hurried to open the door. As soon as she pulled the bolt, Hua Ping appeared in her sight with a cold look on his face.
"Uncle Hua!" Su Ruojin was not afraid of the northwest wind. She stepped out of the door and ran to the street. She lifted up a corner and saw the oven and other things lying perfectly inside.
The young prince is so awesome!
She turned around and smiled brightly.
Zhao Lan stood at the door and also looked at her and smiled.
Hanahira: ...Why do I feel like I have nothing to do with it?
"Young lady, the table will be delivered shortly."
"Thank you, Uncle Hua, for your hard work!"
Hua Ping said, "You should thank Prince Zhao first. If it weren't for his help, I wouldn't have found it so quickly."
Su Ruojin glanced at the two of them, still smiling, "Thank you, everyone!"
There will be another update in the evening, folks!
