Chapter 363: A Crowded Visitor
When she returned to the doorstep of her home, Su Ruojin almost couldn't believe that this was her home. At the door, servants were busy parking the carriages and tying up the horses, and people were coming and going in an endless stream.
Shu Tong saw her and ran over, wiping his sweaty face. "Second Madam, the master knew that you and the young prince were coming back, so he asked me to wait at the door!"
Then he bowed to Zhao Lan and said, "I greet the young prince. Please—"
Zhao Lan nodded. "Thank you."
Those who knew Zhao Lan wanted to come forward to greet him, but Shu Tong stopped them, saying, "It's hot, please come in and have a cup of tea."
These people have their own special servants to receive them according to the notice. As the steward of the Su family, he will entertain the future son-in-law today and welcome him in quickly.
Su Ruojin looked towards the door. She had never seen the young servant or the middle-aged aide before. She looked at Zhao Lan, "These people..."
“I recommended it to the teacher.”
As a prefect of the fourth rank, Su Yanli had his own staff, three of them, namely, finance, litigation, and human relations. These people were his advisors and think tanks, and became indispensable assistants in his political career.
Now in the capital, the human relations and official duties are much more complicated than in the local areas. The staff needed must not only be more professional, but also be familiar with the capital. Otherwise, no matter how capable Su Yanli is, he will not be able to show his skills without such an assistant.
Is this the benefit of having a backer? Su Ruojin thought, is she holding onto my thigh? She smiled brightly, "Thank you, Brother Jin."
Zhao Lan smiled and deliberately glanced away from her: "Are you being sweet now?" During the time at the farm stay, she was either hanging out with her so-called 'best friends' or hanging out with the little brats, leaving him behind. Humph, she hasn't settled the score with her yet.
Su Ruojin saw the resentment in the eyes of the arrogant young man and quickly hugged his arm to please him, "Brother Jin is the best, I will make you something delicious right away."
"You're going to make something delicious for your family, so take mine with you."
"Isn't Brother Jin my family?"
Zhao Lan: …
Although he looked angry, the corners of his mouth were raised and he couldn't suppress it.
Su Ruojin did not expose him, and quickly pulled him happily, "Come on, let's go and congratulate Lord Su on his promotion."
If it weren't for the experience he had gained as a county magistrate and prefect in recent years, Su Yanli would have been almost overwhelmed by the crowds of people coming to congratulate him. He felt like he couldn't even breathe. When he heard that his daughter and son-in-law had returned, he quickly found an excuse to send those who came to visit him away.
Finally, I came out of the guest room and took a few deep breaths. "Why is it more difficult than the chores in the local area?"
Su Yanzu smiled and teased, "Brother, do you dislike this position?"
this……
For a while, Su Yanli really couldn't adapt to this identity. He sighed, "I really didn't think I would stay in Beijing." He thought he would have to go out to gain experience for at least three to five years before being promoted and staying in Beijing. Unexpectedly...
Su Yanzu smiled again and said nothing. He thought to himself that the young Prince Zhao could not bear to be at odds with Ajin. No matter what position he held, Zhao Lan would keep his brother in the capital. He just didn't expect that the emperor would withstand the malicious criticism and still promote Su Yanli. This was a recognition of his ability, which was great.
Su Ruojin was surprised when she saw Su Yanzu, "Uncle, you didn't go home?"
At the city gate, Su Yanzu, Fan Yanjia and others went back to their homes. Unexpectedly, before she got home, her uncle actually saw his father before them. "Where are A'ran and A'yan?"
"The princess has been taken back."
As a son-in-law of a royal consort, Su Yanzu could only work in the Honglu Temple for the rest of his life. He was happy to see his brother become a third-rank minister. The status of the Su family in Pingjiang Prefecture was finally different. He was happy for his brother and could not help but rush over to see him. He did not expect to see him being flattered by one group of people after another. He felt mixed emotions of joy and sorrow.
