Chapter 351 Staying for now
It was a long-awaited reunion, and with the presence of a cute little kid, the meal was quite lively, and we didn’t leave the restaurant until after noon.
Shangguan Yu was also very happy to see Su Ruojin, and couldn't help but talk about the farmhouse in Xishan, "Ajin, will you go there in the next few days? We will go with you to escape the summer heat."
Su Ruojin then realized that in the past three years, Shangguan Yu had often taken his wife and children to the farm, especially in the summer, to cool off.
"Okay, I'll go after I finish inspecting the shops in the next two days."
After she finished speaking, she felt that the Yang sisters didn't say anything, so she smiled and invited, "Sister Yun, Arong, you two should go too."
Madam Yang glanced at her sister, smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Ah Jin."
Madam Yang Si looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but she was polite and didn't say anything that would spoil everyone's fun.
Su Ruojin knew what was going on. This was probably because she had seen her sister and niece leaving. She thought about it and whispered in her ear while everyone was gone, "Come to my house in the evening. I'll treat you to salt water popsicles."
In a few days, she would be leaving, so they could spend more time together before she left. Yang Si Niang agreed without thinking, "Okay."
The two young ladies were sticking together again. Zhao Lan was unhappy and frowned slightly. Unfortunately, the young lady's heart was on her best friend and she didn't notice her fiancé's dissatisfaction at all.
Fan Yanjia smiled mischievously and thought, Zhao Lan must be thinking, get married quickly so that he can keep his young wife and prevent her from being abducted by others.
After everyone left, Su Ruojin was busy inspecting the shop, and Zhao Lan returned to the villa and received news from the capital.
"The Prince of Yingnan and his wife are back. Songfu has not found any evidence against them in the past three years. However, three years ago, when Lord Su first arrived at Songfu, he used this as an excuse to make a fuss. The memorial has even been submitted to the emperor's desk."
Zhao Lan sat there solemnly, with no expression on his face.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Santai didn't dare to remind him.
I don't know how much time passed, he suddenly said, "It's okay."
Santai was still a little worried. "Although Young Master Fan is Lord Su's aide, the people in the court have to give Shangshu Fan some respect, but what if Lord Fan avoids suspicion?"
Only then did Zhao Lan slowly raise his eyes to glance at Santai, with a determined look on his face.
Santai shut his mouth, bowed and walked out.
It was a hot summer day, with rows of trees in the yard. The breeze brought a slight coolness. Zhao Lan leaned back in his chair, relaxed, closed his eyes, and seemed to have returned to the yard of his teacher's house many years ago, with the sweet laughter of the young lady in his ears.
As the sun sets in the west, the summer heat slowly dissipates.
Yang Si Niang arrived at Su Ji Restaurant as scheduled. Su Ruojin had just finished teaching a few dishes. When she saw her, she immediately called her, "Arong, come here quickly. I made fermented glutinous rice and egg drop soup."
It may look like a sweet soup, but it is actually the perfect way to satisfy your hunger in the afternoon.
The ingredients are fermented glutinous rice, eggs, wolfberries, sugar, starch, etc. Put water in a pot and bring to a boil, then add fermented glutinous rice and sugar and boil. If you like a thicker soup, you can add more starch to thicken it, then slowly pour the beaten egg liquid into the boiling water, and gently circle it with chopsticks or a spoon until a beautiful egg drop is formed. Finally, turn off the heat, add some wolfberries or other ingredients for garnish, and a bowl of fermented glutinous rice egg drop soup with color, aroma and taste and nutritional value is ready.
The two of them stood under the corridor holding their bowls, enjoying the evening breeze and drinking the fermented glutinous rice and egg drop soup cooled by well water, which went down their throats so smoothly.
Madam Yang Si scooped up the food in one breath and only raised her head from the bowl after she finished eating, with a look of satisfaction and happiness on her face.
Su Ruojin deliberately asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Of course, what Ajin cooks is always the best."
"Then stay!"
Yang Si Niang's smile lingered on the corner of her mouth. She turned her head and shook it gently, "I'm used to traveling around."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her anymore, he said, "Then wait until I get married..."
Originally, Su Ruojin didn't want to mention her marriage, as she didn't want the young lady to be reminded of the past. But at such an important moment, she always wanted her childhood friends to witness it.
Madam Yang Si pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Su Ruojin felt a little regretful and reluctant after not hearing her speak for a long time. "I'm sorry, Arong, I'm not..."
Yang Si Niang interrupted her, "Ajin, I am sorry."
"No, I'm sorry." Su Ruojin couldn't help hugging the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, "As long as you live well, no matter where you go, I wish you the best."
Thinking of her niece and her elder sister, and considering that Ajin's wedding day would be in two or three months, Yang Si Niang finally decided to stay for the time being.
"Okay, I'll leave after you get married."
"Arong, thank you." Su Ruojin hugged her best friend excitedly.
