Chapter 397 Chapter 396 Cold Cake 2
In a blink of an eye, Su Anzhi was already twenty-one years old. He had established a career, but not a family.
Cheng Yingzhen said with determination, "I must make sure my marriage is arranged before I take office this time."
Having just passed the age of twenty, Su Anzhi was not in a hurry and smiled, "It depends on fate."
When the time is right, you will naturally start a family.
Su Ruojin was not a native of the ancient world, so she did not think there was anything wrong with not getting married at the age of 21. In fact, getting married a little later would help one become more mature both mentally and emotionally, which would be more conducive to future marriage life.
She asked with a smile, "Brother, what are your plans after reporting on your work?" Should you stay in Beijing or continue to train at the grassroots level?
His father is now the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and his brother-in-law is a popular figure around the emperor. No matter whether Su Anzhi wants to stay in the capital or be sent abroad, it can be realized with just one word from him.
But he smiled and said, "Let's see after I finish my job report."
Haven’t you figured it out yet?
Su Ruojin was a little surprised and glanced at Zhao Lan. He also smiled but didn't say much. He supported whatever his brother-in-law wanted to do.
In the afternoon, Su Anzhi was preparing his report in his father's study, and Su Ruojin asked her mother to make something delicious for her brother.
Cheng Yingzhen's mind was not here. "Make some delicious food for An Zhi." After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room.
"Mom, where are you going?"
Cheng Yingzhen walked back, "I'm looking for Mrs. Fan."
This is to find a sister-in-law for her.
Su Ruojin came forward curiously, "Mom, which ones are you interested in? Do you want my help?"
Cheng Yingzhen replied, "Mrs. Fan told me about the two families. I didn't expect your brother to come back early. I will go to Mrs. Fan now to make an appointment for the visit." She couldn't wait a moment and had to find a wife for her son quickly.
Zhao Lan went to the study to accompany his brother, and Su Ruojin went to the kitchen to prepare something delicious.
In the hot summer, Su Ruojin made cold cakes to eat.
The methods of making jelly cakes vary from place to place. The jelly cake made by Su Ruojin is made with mung bean flour.
Mung bean powder is cooling and heat-removing, and can reduce internal heat and promote salivation.
We have mung bean powder at home, which we diluted into a paste, cooked, and put in well water to condense into blocks. We also put the boiled brown sugar water in the well water to cool it down.
They are all hoisted up from the well, and the solidified jelly is divided into bowls. They are then poured with boiled brown sugar water. It is icy cool, smooth and sweet.
Su Ruojin also placed mint on it and sprinkled some dried osmanthus flowers. The snow-white jelly, brown sugar water, and golden osmanthus flowers were a feast to the eyes.
He quickly picked up the tray and gave it to his brother and Zhao Lan in the study.
"Brother, Alan, come and try it."
Su Anzhi and Zhao Lan had just discussed how to report to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow. When they heard that there was something delicious, they both stood up and came over. Zhao Lan took the tray from his wife and said, "It looks delicious."
"Of course."
Su Ruojin was not polite at all.
After a long and tiring journey, Su Anzhi felt as if his whole body relaxed and comfortable after eating a bowl of cool and smooth cold cake.
Seeing that my brother looks tired, he has to report to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow. My mother also wants to arrange a blind date for him while he is free. My brother has been very busy recently.
Su Ruojin did not disturb him, "Brother, you should take a rest first. Alan and I will come to see you in two days."
Su Anzhi nodded, "Okay, come over when you are free."
After everyone relaxed, Su Anzhi felt sleepy and wanted to rest. He didn't bother to be polite with his sister and brother-in-law and sent them out.
"Tell Mom when she comes back."
"I know. The weather is hot. Go out less and rest more at home."
I can’t go to Xishan for the time being.
Su Ruojin sat in the carriage, holding his chin in his hand, deep in thought.
Zhao Lan asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering what kind of sister-in-law my brother will marry."
The Su family is different now than before. His father is a third-rank minister, his uncle is a consort to the emperor, his brother-in-law is a prince, and Su Anzhi is a seventh-rank county magistrate who is a Jinshi graduate. He is definitely a rising star.
For Su Ruojin, no matter what status her future sister-in-law has, she just wants a young lady with good character who can get along well with her family. However, over the past few years, her mother has secretly inquired about it, but has never found a suitable one.
Some have extended olive branches to the Su family, but the girls are either spoiled by their families or too honest and dull to say anything after a long time; or the Su family has some interest but the other party doesn't like them, anyway, they have never met the right one.
"Oh..." Su Ruojin suddenly put down her hand that was supporting her chin, "I should have asked my brother what kind of young lady he likes."
She wanted to turn her horse around, but was stopped by Zhao Lan, "Mother-in-law has already gone to see Mrs. Fan. Maybe she has already arranged a date for the visit."
Su Ruojin: ...
That evening, Cheng Yingzhen sent a message saying that Mrs. Fan had made an appointment with the family to meet at Xiyu Teahouse two days later, so that Su Ruojin could also go and have a look that day.
