Chapter 171 Hua Ping's Thoughts
Su Yanli was sitting next to his wife, playing with his little daughter who was a few months old. He didn't notice that the student was walking so close to his eldest daughter. Of course, he never thought that the student had the intention of kidnapping his daughter.
What would happen if you knew?
The sunshine in March is mild and not dry, making people feel comfortable. Willows and flowers are charming, and the green mountains and streams are full of vitality. Intoxicated by the breeze and beautiful scenery, enjoying the quiet time with family, it feels like even breathing contains the spring of love.
On the roadside, flowers bloom like a sea, with a refreshing and light fragrance. Why not go home slowly?
Su Yanli took three days off and could also play around Dongshan Academy for two days. There was a place to stay outside the city, so the Su family was not in a hurry to return to the city. They played until sunset and the cool breeze before returning to Su's Breakfast Shop.
Su Ruojin had been flying kites crazily in the afternoon. She returned to Su's and didn't even have dinner. She washed up and climbed into bed and fell asleep. She was really tired. She was busy with the business in the morning, and it was very tiring to go out for a spring outing with her family in the afternoon. Anyway, as soon as she got into bed, she went to meet Zhou Gong and had no time to ask Zhao Lan whether he would return to the city.
Su Yanli left Zhao Lan and realized that the two rooms used for entertaining guests had long been converted into breakfast rooms by his daughter. "I'm really sorry, Zijin. If you don't mind, please stay in Dalang's room."
Zhao Lan refused, "I have a place to live on Wenshan Street."
Su Yanli still felt bad and asked him to stay.
Shuang Rui saw that Dr. Su was apologetic to the point of guilt, and said with a smile, "The Dongsheng Restaurant on Wenshan Street is owned by my young master, and there is a house for him inside."
If Su Ruojin were here, she would definitely be surprised. Wasn't it the restaurant where she met Su Xiangheng last time when he invited her for dinner? She didn't expect that it was actually the property of the young prince.
Su Yanli and his wife sent the young prince to the door and waited until he got on the carriage before turning back into the courtyard.
After a busy day, Ye Huaizhen, the female shopkeeper of Su's, did not have any free time until 10 o'clock. After checking the shop, she dragged her tired body back to her room to sleep. When she walked to the door of the room, she saw someone standing on one leg with his arms folded and leaning against the door.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Flower?"
"I helped you all day, and you treat me like this?"
Ye Huaizhen sneered, "I didn't ask anyone to help me." Then he pushed the door and entered the room.
Hua Ping put his legs down and held out his arm to stop the person from opening the door, "I made some tea, or maybe a little wine?"
"I don't have the energy of Mr. Hua. I have to open the shop early tomorrow, so I won't chat with you anymore." Ye Huaizhen pushed his arm, but he didn't move. He raised his eyes and said, "You know Mr. Hua is good at fighting, so there's no need to embarrass a woman like me!"
The woman on the other side was unmoved by his soft words and made it clear that she had no affection for him. Hua Ping felt a little powerless. When he was powerless, his brain was too lazy to think, and when he was lazy, problems would arise. "You are not young anymore. Why are you working so hard? You might as well find a man to marry."
This kind of straight man, no matter how handsome he looks, is single because of his strength.
Ye Huaizhen didn't even bother to sneer at him. It was her turn to stand in front of someone with her arms folded. "I'll never get married in my life, so who cares about age?"
Hua Ping looked at him with disdain, "If you don't get married at the age of 20, you have to pay taxes. You have been paying for several years now."
"What's it got to do with you how many years we've been friends?" Ye Huaizhen, who was tired and sleepy, ran out of patience and sneered, "Besides, do I look like someone who can't afford to be friends with you?"
Huaping:......
The dim light from the lanterns under the corridor could not hide Hua Sicha's embarrassment. A classic male chauvinist saying even appeared in his mind: Why should women come out to show their faces in public? Shouldn't they stay at home to take care of their husbands and children?
This time, it was Ye Huaizhen who looked down on him and pushed him away. "Say this in front of the young boss and see if she will hire you again in the future."
"What...words?" Hua Ping thought to himself, what did I say...ah...did I just say what I was thinking?
this……
Ye Huaizhen gave a fake smile, and while the other party was distracted, he pushed him through the door and went in, then slammed the door shut with his backhand.
Huaping:......
No, he clearly wanted to ask, you didn’t eat much for dinner, do you want to have a midnight snack, but what did he just say…what did he say…
Hua Ping, who has always been arrogant, has encountered a setback in his life. He finally found a girl he likes, but after knowing her for half a year, she has shown no regard for him. Is she too reserved? Should he find a matchmaker?
The young prince was looking for Hua Ping. Siping came over to call for help through the lunch box he used to eat at Su Ji's. Unexpectedly, he saw this drama standing at the entrance of the Moon Cave, shook his head and laughed, and waved to him.
Hua Ping put away his annoyed expression, left Su Ji with Siping, and went to Wenshan Street. He looked around with habitual vigilance. The clues revealed by the Dongshan Academy explosives case and the failed Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race case all pointed to Wenshan Street, but he had never found out which shop on Wenshan Street was the stronghold of the Liaoxia people.
In fact, last year the Investigation Department discovered that there were spies from the Liaoxia Kingdom in Wenshan Street, but they were too cunning and cautious, and they were always evaded.
Zhao Lan and Hua Ping discussed under the lamp and decided to take advantage of the opening of Su Ji's morning tea shop to find out the background of the owners of the shops on Wenshan Street.
"Yu Hou, how many days do you plan to stay here?"
Yuhou was the official title of Zhao Lan.
As mentioned in the previous article, the Imperial City Bureau has great power, similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It is responsible for both palace guards and espionage and supervision. The departments under its jurisdiction include: the Investigation Department and the Ice Well Department.
The persons in charge of the power were all appointed by the emperor himself, and were usually selected from the Imperial Guards or the Imperial Guards. These two departments were combined into the Palace Front Department, and its subordinate agencies, the Palace Front Commandery, and the Imperial Guards Cavalry Commandery and the Imperial Guards Infantry Commandery, which were subordinate to the Department of Imperial Guards, were collectively called the "Three Yamen".
The "two offices and three yamen" system was the highest command organization of the imperial guards of the Dayin Dynasty.
Yuhou is one of the commanders of the Palace Front Department. He is of the fifth rank and ranks above the regular defense envoy. In the Palace Front Department command sequence, he is second only to the Palace Front Commander-in-Chief and the Palace Front Deputy Commander-in-Chief. Among the three yamen troops, he ranks above the Imperial Guard Cavalry Commander-in-Chief and the Imperial Guard Infantry Commander-in-Chief.
Fourteen-year-old Zhao Lan not only had a title at birth - Prince of Pingyang, but now also held an official position of the fifth rank, making him the most powerful among the powerful.
The Su family will stay here for three days, and Zhao Lan will stay here for at least three days.
Hua Ping probably guessed it, but was still surprised to hear Prince Zhao admit it himself. He thought, I handle both official and private matters, could it be that the prince is also trying to please a mother-in-law?
But the Su family has two little girls, one is nine years old and the other is less than half a year old. We can’t arrange a baby marriage now!
Hua Ping smiled secretly, feeling better after being rejected by a woman. When the moon was at its highest point in the sky, he left Dongsheng Restaurant and quietly returned to Su's.
The next day, if it weren't for the loud crying of Su Wumei, Su Ruojin could have slept until noon. When she was woken up by her younger sister, Su Ruojin had no place to vent her anger even after getting up. She sat by the dressing table, yawning all the time, and asked, "How is the business in the shop?"
Mao Ya washed her face with water, came in from outside, and said with a smile, "Very good."
"Are they all those people?"
Mao Ya said, "I heard from Shopkeeper Ye that it was mainly the bosses and shopkeepers on the street, as well as the teachers of Wenshan Academy."
It turned out that it was this group of people who made Su Ji’s breakfast tea a success!
