One afternoon, the Su brothers and sisters gathered in a small teahouse not far from the main camp. They celebrated for a long time, and Su Sanlang wanted to go back to the city with his brothers and sisters.
"No, I'm going to ask for leave now."
Su Silang reminded: "Third brother, if you can get a leave, we won't come to see you together."
That's true.
Seeing his second brother-in-law who was in a high position of power, Su Sanlang smiled flatteringly, "Sister...brother-in-law, how about you tell General Ning to let me go back to the capital for two or three days?"
Zhao Lan put down the cup in his hand. "It's not impossible, but the performance evaluation at the end of the year..."
The training in the Western Suburbs Camp is usually very strict. If you ask for leave without any reason, your annual performance evaluation will be cancelled and you will not be able to be in the top three. When Su Sanlang thought of this, he immediately gave up the idea of going home.
"Then you have to have dinner with me."
It had been a long time since the brothers and sisters had eaten together. Su Anzhi led everyone to find a small restaurant to have dinner with his eldest brother. If it weren't for Zhao Lan, they would not have been able to go into the city that night.
The hot summer is as hot as fire.
Mrs. Fan did nothing to mediate the marriage between the Su family and the Zhao Hou family. The two families seemed to have fallen into a state where they had never known each other before and lived their own lives.
Lord Xun came to pay a visit to the Su family as promised.
They were probably all from wealthy towns and villages. Lord Xun Zhiyue and Su Yanli got along very well. His wife Xun Zhou and Cheng Yingzhen also got along very well. The two of them talked and laughed in the side room for a long time without stopping.
Xun Wan was only two years younger than Su Ruojin, and they should have played together, but she ended up chatting happily with the twelve-year-old Su Xiaomei. Both of them had been officials in foreign countries with their parents and had been to many places. They were also interested in food, and they never stopped talking after they started.
Xun Ce, like Su Silang, liked literature and discussed poetry and classics. He also stayed in Su Silang's study for a long time without moving.
If it weren't for politeness, the Xun family would have almost moved into the Su family's house.
When sending the Xun family out, Su Xiaomei and Xun Wan had already made an appointment to travel around the capital for a few days. She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, sister Wan. I'm the host in the capital now. I will take you to visit all the beautiful sights in the capital and eat at all the good restaurants."
The Xun family didn't expect that Minister Su's family would be so approachable. It really was worthy of him to have such a good younger brother. This trip to the capital to report on their work was really a pleasant experience.
"Then let's make it a deal. We'll meet at Su's Teahouse every morning at the beginning of the morning?"
"It's a deal." Su Xiaomei pulled Xun Wan and said, "Come to my shop, I'll treat you."
"Thank you very much, Miss Su."
The Xun family left happily.
It was impossible for Su Xiaomei to entertain the guests alone, so she not only brought her brothers and sisters, but also her handsome brother-in-law.
They visited shops, went into a jewelry store, and ate famous Beijing dishes. The Su and Xun families, plus Zhao Lan, sat at the same table, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
At Zhao Lan's restaurant, Su Anzhi and Xun Wan'er were rushing to pay for lunch, but were stopped by Zhao Lan.
Su Silang said, "Brother-in-law, please don't make things difficult for the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper, who originally did not find it difficult, was puzzled. Why was it difficult for him? He could just put it on the owner's account. But he understood the ways of the world, and something that was obviously easy to handle turned into something that looked difficult.
Xun Wan rushed to pay, "You guys treated us for the past two days, let me treat you a meal too."
Su Anzhi took out some change and said, "This meal should be treated by me."
Xun Wan was embarrassed for him to pay, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Brother Su, just let my brother and I pay for one."
How could he let a young lady pay for it? He, Su Anzhi, is the good brother of Lord Xun. What's wrong with giving his children a meal? He rushed to pay for the lunch. (End of this chapter)
