Chapter 391 390 Vanity 3
When she got home that night, Su Ruojin mentioned the rumors outside and asked, "Is it really the Prince of Yingnan?"
Zhao Lan nodded. "After being demoted, Zhao Lin has been looking for an opportunity to return to the capital. When the capital was in a food shortage, he took the lead in getting grain merchants in Jingchu to actively transport grain to the capital, alleviating the famine."
Food is the foundation of life. No matter what the purpose is, as long as the people of the capital can have food to buy, it is indeed a good thing that benefits both the country and the people.
"No wonder he was able to return to the capital."
When she was in trouble, she would meet Xie at the 100-day banquet for the eldest grandson of Lord Yan! She was really talented to be able to make the Queen confine her.
On May 21st, all the invited direct descendants of the Prince of Jin's Mansion went out. There were seven or eight horse-drawn carriages, and the procession was so grand. If it were in a small city, it would probably attract a large number of onlookers, but at the foot of the imperial city, it was not uncommon to encounter an official wherever you went.
When we arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, it was crowded with people. There were special reception staff at the door, and everything was in good order.
Su Ruojin found that her parents were waiting at the door with her younger brother and sister. She greeted the King of Jin and his wife and ran to Su Yanli and his wife, "Father and mother——"
Su Yanli greeted his daughter with a smile, and took the child to pay respects to the Prince of Jin and his wife, and then paid respects to the Crown Prince.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group entered the Shangshu Mansion together.
After passing through the entrance hall, the male and female guests entered the main courtyard and the inner courtyard respectively.
The Princess of Jin had a high status, and soon many noble ladies came forward to pay their respects, and the Crown Prince's wife followed to socialize.
Su Ruojin and her mother followed behind, and soon they met Madam Fan who had arrived first. Lord Fan was the Minister of Personnel, and was of the same rank as Lord Yan. Accompanying Madam Fan was Madam Yan, who hurried forward to greet her when she saw the Princess of Jin arriving.
Mrs. Fan finally had time to talk to Cheng Yingzhen and Su Ruojin, "Come on, let's talk over here."
Mrs. Fan held Cheng Yingzhen's hand, very intimately.
The Fan and Su families were always visiting each other, and Cheng Yingzhen got along with Mrs. Fan like an aunt. They talked enthusiastically about family matters and soon brought up the topic of Su Dalang's marriage.
Mrs. Fan said, "It's all because of the disaster that Dalang's marriage has been delayed."
From October last year to May this year, no matter whether you are an ordinary person or a wealthy family in Beijing, there is no need for everyone to stay at home, so how can they have the leisure to seek matchmaking?
"Sister Zhen, what kind of wife do you want?"
When the aunties and grandmas get together, they like to help people find matchmakers.
Cheng Yingzhen is a down-to-earth person. “As long as you have a good personality and can manage the household, that’s fine.”
Mrs. Fan: ...
It seems simple, but it is actually not.
While listening to her mother chatting with Madam Fan, Su Ruojin looked outside the pavilion with boredom. On the other side of the pavilion, a group of young wives and young ladies gathered and chattered as if they were talking about what kind of clothing and headgear were popular in the capital.
The person sitting in the center of the pavilion seemed to be Zhao Lin's wife, the Queen's niece - Xie Qingyu. The people around her were talking very lively, but she had an indifferent expression and looked disdainful.
It seems as if the people around him are vulgar and they are disdainful of associating with him.
Su Ruojin: ...
She pretended to be casual and withdrew her gaze, then looked at Mrs. Fan and her mother who were chatting.
As if sensing that her young wife didn't like these nagging words, Mrs. Fan said, "Ah Jin——"
"Madam—" She stood up and replied.
"A Ning just went to change clothes. She should be out soon. Go check in the corridor over there."
"Okay." Su Ruojin stopped talking to them about their parents and prepared to go for a walk with Ningning.
I left the pavilion, went up the corridor, asked a maid, and went towards the toilet. After walking for a while, someone came up the stairs.
Su Ruojin stopped and turned around. It was Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu went up to the corridor and looked at Su Ruojin who was standing aside.
I haven't seen her for half a year. She has become more beautiful and her eyes are as bright as before. It's obvious that she is living a well-off life.
If Su Ruojin could read minds, she would definitely ask in return, a family like theirs never missed a meal even during a cold disaster, so how could she lose weight?
