Chapter 390 389 Glitz 2
The next day, Zhao Lan was on duty and Su Ruojin returned to her parents' home.
Her parents' family also received an invitation from the Minister of War's family, and Cheng Yingzhen was also at home preparing her clothes for the visit. Seeing that her children were growing up and were about to reach the age of getting married and having children, she wanted to take her two sons and one daughter with her this time.
"It's a pity that your brother is still serving as a county magistrate in the south. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to get married."
Cheng Yingzhen was really anxious.
Su Ruojin smiled and advised her, "Mother, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Maybe my eldest brother has already met someone he likes, and he will bring her to you when he returns to Beijing to report on his work."
"Did Dalang write you a letter?"
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Mom, although my brother wrote me a letter, there is not a single word in it."
Cheng Yingzhen put away her smile in disappointment, "Your brother is already 21 years old. People his age already have children, but he doesn't even have a fiancée."
Although there was not a single word about love in Su Anzhi's letter home, the whole letter was filled with the scent of love. Su Ruojin smelled it, but she was not worried about her brother saying a word. What if... she guessed wrong, wouldn't that make her parents happy for nothing?
As if to comfort herself, Cheng Yingzhen said, "When I see Madam Fan later, I will ask her to help me make some connections. I will arrange a marriage for your brother when he goes to Beijing to report on his work this year."
Su Ruojin: ...
Su Anzhi, Su Anzhi, do you have a girl you like? If your mother helps you find a good one in Beijing, wouldn’t that be hurting both girls?
She quickly reminded, "Mom, if you have any ideas, write a letter to my brother first, so that you don't worry about it in vain."
Cheng Yingzhen: …
What's the point of worrying? She reached out and patted her daughter, "Do you think Anzhi knows how to find a wife at such a young age like the young Prince Zhao?"
Is this a compliment to the son-in-law or...
Su Ruojin silently made a face and chuckled, "Mom, my brother will be back this fall anyway, so let's not talk about this for now, let's go out and buy some clothes and jewelry that we like."
"good."
When her daughter came back, she had company, so she called her little daughter, "Ayi, go shopping with sister."
"Okay."
The mother and her two daughters went out shopping with the maids and servants. Since the host was away visiting, the maids and servants could not dress shabbily, so they all went shopping together.
The weather was fine and the streets were bustling with people. Not only were the shops along the street open for business, but even the small vendors who had disappeared for a winter and spring were back on the streets selling their goods.
As long as conditions permit, everything will recover quickly, whether it is production or people's lives.
The Su family's three daughters first visited the cloth shop and then the ready-made clothing shop. They had bought almost all the clothes they needed. When it was time for lunch, Su Ruojin did not look for a big restaurant or a medium-sized restaurant. Instead, she went into a small restaurant, and found a very distinctive small restaurant. She ordered soup noodles, roasted pork offal, pickled fish in jade plates, and rice balls with wine lees, and had a meal of authentic Bianjing street food.
In the Su family, Su Ruojin has been the head of the family since she was six years old. Over the years, the Su family's diet has actually been assimilated by Su Ruojin, and the taste is quite modern. It still feels quite fresh when eating out at Zhazha.
She was munching on pickled fish on a plate while listening to other people chatting. As she listened, she was attracted by a table diagonally opposite her.
One of them asked, "Why is the food supply in your capital so fast?"
The person on the other side saw him talking and wanted to show his support, so he smiled and asked, "Why?"
The man took a sip of the old wine and raised his eyebrows with great pride, saying, "Of course it was transported from the grain-rich Chu land."
"That has to be transported by someone, right?"
"Hey, brother, you asked the right person, isn't it?"
Why are you saying "pardon the command"? Su Ruojin saw that the two of them were just talking nonsense and laughed. Just when he was about to listen to others bragging, the man across from him said, "The son of the King of Chu, the Prince of Yingnan, transported the food from Chu. It has been transported since the thaw of the glacier in April. It has been transported for more than a month, and finally the city of Bianjing is not short of food."
Because the Su family ran a grain shop in Pingjiang Prefecture, Su Ruojin's attention had always been on the grain shop owned by her uncle Su Yanzu, and she hadn't really noticed the grain being transported from Chu. She thought about it and it seemed that Zhao Lan hadn't mentioned it either.
Su Ruojin thought to herself, listening to the rumors, could it be that the demoted Prince of Yingnan wanted to atone his sins by performing meritorious deeds and return to the capital?
