Chapter 60 Brother Hua
Su Ruojin's lips pursed, "The shop is broken and burnt. Now that I can't work anymore, I have to become more capable."
Su Yanli was stunned, and then he thought of the shabby shop he saw passing by, which also gave him a headache. Of course, he felt more sorry for his daughter, "Dad will do it."
"Dad has to go on duty, I'm afraid he won't have time to do it!"
Su Yanli's hand was still on his daughter's head, and he smiled and said, "You need to talk to others about buying tiles and picking wood."
She nodded, "Yes!"
"Find some time when you can. If that doesn't work, invite him to talk at the dinner table next shift."
Su Ruojin really didn't expect that Su Yanli was willing to put aside his scholarly status and deal with businessmen. In fact, his father and mother were both socially anxious. They didn't like meeting friends and just liked to stay at home reading books and accompanying his wife. He was a typical family man.
But social phobia is social phobia, they are just afraid of contacting and dealing with people, which does not mean they have no ability, otherwise, Su Yanli would not have been able to become a Jinshi in two examinations.
Su Yanli took the initiative to share the burden, and Su Ruojin was of course happy. She took his hand and hurried to have dinner. "After dinner, let's discuss how to decorate the shop, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Ah Jin."
For a moment, the Su family was immersed in happiness.
As soon as Hua Ping returned to his residence, he met Mr. Shen, “Sir, is the young master here today?”
Mr. Shen shook his head, “The young master went to study at the Imperial Academy.”
"Should we continue what the old master asked us to do?"
Mr. Shen nodded, “Of course.”
Hua Ping sighed, "How can I do this?"
The old master slowly lets go, and even if the young master is willing to take over, he knows nothing and has no idea how to lead them to do things.
Mr. Shen also sighed, but he only sighed in his heart, and on the surface he had to appease Hua Ping and others, "This kind of thing really can't be rushed, we can only slowly unravel the mystery and catch these people."
Hua Ping sat dejectedly in the chair, looking listless.
Mr. Shen said to the people in front of him, "There's no rush anyway, so you can just stay in your own position and spend the money you earn in your position, even if it means starting a family or a career."
When some people heard that they could start a family and build a career, they immediately became excited and asked, "Are you serious?"
Mr. Shen nodded. "What we do is secretive and requires patience. It is a long process. On the surface, you can live your life as you should, but one thing is that you must be more vigilant than ordinary people in your heart. Once you find any clues that are not right, you must follow them and investigate thoroughly."
"Yes, sir." Several people stood up and said to Mr. Fan with a serious face, "Swear to die for our Dayin."
The group listened to Mr. Shen's instructions again. Only when it was over did they put down their solemnity and disperse. Hua Ping was walking at the end and was stopped by Mr. Shen, "Are you trying to steal a shop from Manager Xu's sister, Bi Changgui from Bingmasi?"
Hua Ping said with a smile: "Sir, you know about setting up a shop for Dr. Su's family!"
Mr. Shen frowned: "Madam Xu is in front of the princess..."
Hua Ping glanced outside the door and saw that several colleagues had already left. He closed the door and whispered something to Mr. Shen in the middle of the night, but no one knew what he was saying.
Early the next morning, Shu Tong took his second wife to the teahouse to find Hua Ping.
Hua Ping still looked like a leisurely hangout, drinking tea and listening to songs. He lived a happy life and even Su Ruojin was envious.
Hua Ping sat still, motioning for the two to do as they pleased.
Su Ruojin sat opposite him without hesitation, and Shu Tong sat on the side, flattering him with a smile, "Little brother Hua, thank you for your hard work!"
Hua Ping just smiled, looked at Su Ruojin who was eating dim sum and drinking tea without any courtesy, and said rudely, "It's not as delicious as your steamed buns and spicy soup."
"That's true." Su Ruojin accepted his sarcasm without any hesitation.
"hehe!"
People with abilities always have tempers. Su Ruojin only had time to flatter him with a smile after she had eaten and drunk her fill. "Brother Hua..."
puff……
Hua Ping couldn't help but spit out all the tea. Shu Tong quickly gave him a towel and asked the waiter to come and wipe the table.
What a panic.
"Hey, Madam Su Er, you call Shu Tong uncle, why does he become brother to me?"
"Because you have a pretty face and look like my brother, I started calling you brother without realizing it!"
This is a fart shot...
Hua Ping always felt something was strange and waved his hand, "Call me uncle." He couldn't stand being called Brother Hua and he was afraid that it would shorten his lifespan.
Su Ruojin smiled slyly: "Okay."
"Have you brought everything?" Hua Ping glared at her, then stood up and went out. "If you don't have everything, you have to make another trip and it will cost you ten taels of silver. I don't care about Brother Hua or Uncle Hua, you can't lose a penny."
Shu Tong quickly came close to him and smiled flatteringly, "All right, all right."
The three of them went to the Gongcao who was in charge of the shop of Jingzhao Yin, and it was done quickly. It was completely smooth and effortless.
After leaving Jingzhao Yin, Su Ruojin couldn't help but ask, "Flowers..."
"uncle."
"Uncle Hua, do you know the six ministries in the government or the Gongcao just now?"
"Why do you, a young lady, need to know all this?" Hua Ping snorted and didn't tell her.
Su Ruojin's real smile turned into a fake one, and she pouted her lips, so stingy!
Su Ruojin was very excited that she finally had a shop. She didn't even go home, but went directly to Qi's shop which had been exposed to the wind and rain for two months. She took a ruler to measure everywhere and even drew on paper with an eyebrow pencil.
If Shu Tong hadn't pulled her back to eat, Su Ruojin would have been so happy that she would be silly.
After three days of drawing, Su Ruojin finally brought back a pile of drawings. After dinner, she pulled her father to the study to help her draw a new and neat drawing.
Su Yanli looked at the blueprint and said, "Ajin, it seems quite complicated!"
“Is it complicated?”
Su Yanli nodded, "It's probably similar to the construction drawings of Mr. Xue next door."
Su Ruojin's heart moved, and she immediately came up with an idea, "Dad, repairing the house is considered a construction project, we have to go to the government office to register it!"
"Um."
"Then Dad, go find Mr. Xue and ask him to help modify the blueprint."
It was really necessary. The daughter reminded Su Yanli, "Okay, I'll ask him to help me modify the blueprint tomorrow after work."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dad." Su Ruojin said excitedly, "We can start buying materials and hiring craftsmen once the drawings are finalized!"
Su Yanli said, "We can also ask Mr. Xue to recommend some craftsmen for us."
I didn't expect that there was such a nice neighbor in the Ministry of Industry. Su Ruojin frowned and said, "Dad, please ask Master Xue to come. Will Mrs. Xue have any objection?"
"Then shall I ask Mr. Xue to come outside?" Men's affairs have a higher success rate when discussed at the dinner table.
The last time he met Lord Fan during the spring outing, Chief Xue used Su Yanli to make himself familiar to Lord Fan. After returning to the Ministry of Works, his superiors treated him much better and he had not been arranged to go on business trips recently. He finally had a peaceful life. So when Su Yanli invited him, he happily followed him out. He even thought to himself as he left the room that he should pay for the meal.
The update at 12 noon will be postponed to the evening, muah!!!
