Chapter 225: When did divorced women become so popular?
Zhao Jingcheng was worthy of being the emperor. He remained calm when he heard the name and even smiled politely, which made Lin Wanhui's heart beat fast.
Emma, who is this man? He is so handsome!
Lin Wanhui unconsciously developed a liking for Zhao Jingcheng. Beside her, Zhao Jingyu looked at Lin Wanhui speechlessly, while Xie Huaiguang didn't even raise his head.
Su Jin didn't want to talk anymore. If Lin Wanhui hadn't insisted on paying the bill, she would have definitely kicked Lin Wanhui out right now.
Okay, okay, it was you who insisted on paying the bill, so don’t refuse to pay later!
So, Lin Wanhui drank tea with the emperor at the same table in a daze.
Back then, on Jinming Lake, Gu Ruyu's green waist dance angered the emperor. At that time, Zhao Jingcheng heard that Gu Ruyu's biological mother was a concubine in the marquis's mansion named Lin Wanhui.
After seeing what happened at the Enrong Banquet, Zhao Jingcheng had already memorized the name Lin Wanhui, and he saw it today.
Zhao Jingcheng looked at him calmly.
She isn’t really pretty, either. Lin Wanhui looks fine when she’s alone, but when she sits next to Su Jin, she immediately pales in comparison.
Su Jin's beauty was dignified and elegant, she was the kind of noble lady that could only be raised by a family with a rich background and wealth. Her every move was graceful and calm. In contrast, Lin Wanhui stumbled and spoke incoherently, her embarrassment and helplessness were enough to disgust people.
So, what exactly does Gu Changqing like about her that he would rather sign a divorce letter with Su Jin than let Lin Wanhui leave the house?
Zhao Jingcheng felt that Gu Changqing might have a mental problem, and letting him rest at home was indeed the right choice.
Otherwise, what if it affects the destiny of the country?
Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more awkward, Lin Wanhui finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said, "I have something else to do in the mansion, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he hurried downstairs to pay the bill, then turned around and left.
Even after leaving the teahouse, Lin Wanhui's heart was still beating wildly. She wondered who these people were. They made her feel inferior just by sitting next to them. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to raise her head...
As she was thinking, she turned her head and looked upstairs. Through the window, she could see Su Jin's profile. The woman was dignified and elegant, and it seemed that the two noble people in front of her were no different from her.
Seeing this scene, Lin Wanhui began to feel jealous again.
Even her mother said that she couldn't compare to Su Jin, and now it seems that it is true.
Although he didn't want to admit it and even though he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't deny that Su Jin was more like a fish in water in that class.
The so-called class is the class like the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Even though she had tried to imitate Su Jin's approach, she always made mistakes and ended up being the one being laughed at.
Lin Wanhui suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly looked away and walked back.
Upstairs, when Lin Wanhui left and only his own people were left, Zhao Jingcheng spoke up: "I heard that Gu Zixuan is doing well in the northwest and has won another victory this time."
It was only the sixth day of the New Year and the battle report had already been sent back. However, this time it was a small-scale battle, a small unit met a small unit, and Gu Zixuan won a great victory again.
Zhao Jingcheng was very happy. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. Gu Zixuan is only 17 this year and looks handsome, which best fits the image of a young hero in Zhao Jingcheng's mind.
"That's all thanks to the Emperor. If the Emperor hadn't increased the number of imperial examinations, there wouldn't be anything for Xuan Ge'er now. He would still be just a playboy in the Marquis's mansion."
Zhao Jingcheng laughed. This Su Jin was indeed interesting.
"I heard from Jing Yu that you are planning to plant flowers in the spring? What kinds of flowers are you going to plant?"
Su Jin answered one by one: "The first one is rose, followed by osmanthus, jasmine, lavender, chamomile..."
Su Jin mentioned the names of some flowers, some of which even Zhao Jingcheng had never heard of, but doesn’t this show that Su Jin really put a lot of thought into it?
Who says that women have to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children?
Zhao Jingcheng was in a good mood and said, "I have a royal manor with many flowers. Miss Six, are you willing to take it over?"
Su Jin: ...
Ah, why did she suddenly have the job to do, huh?
She just wants to lie down quietly!
Su Jin quickly shook her head: "Your Majesty, I am just an ordinary person and I really can't manage the royal family's farm."
Are you kidding? Please take back your decision. She still wants to continue to wander around.
By the way, Ning Ruolan’s high-end club hasn’t opened yet. At least wait until she’s had enough fun!
Su Jin sincerely refused, but Zhao Jingcheng thought that Su Jin felt that his influence was insignificant and he still had concerns, so he simply waved his hand.
"I appoint you as a sixth-rank official, you can enter and leave my imperial estate at will, and I will grant you a monthly salary. The soap shop under your name can hang a royal sign."
Su Jin still wanted to refuse, but, could a soap shop under her name hang a royal brand?
She looked at Zhao Jingcheng in surprise, only to see that the emperor was smiling, and it didn't seem like he was joking. Su Jin thought about it, gritted her teeth and nodded directly: "I obey your order."
Just for the royal brand, do it!
Besides, she doesn't have to do it herself anyway. She still has Sui Yu. If Sui Yu is too busy, she can ask Jin Chuan or Yu Chuan to do it. She has plenty of people under her anyway.
Su Jin was in a very good mood, and her mind was busy calculating. She was determined to be a hands-off boss.
Seeing that she agreed, Zhao Jingcheng laughed. After drinking tea, they parted ways. Xie Huaiguang and Zhao Jingyu followed the emperor away, leaving Chen Hong to continue drinking tea with Su Jin.
“Good boy…”
Chen Hong's eyes widened: "Aunt, you are amazing. My son has to take an exam to become an official, but you just opened your mouth and got a sixth-rank seat!!"
The problem is that this sixth rank is not a nominal position, one actually enjoys a salary!!
Chen Hong was filled with jealousy. Su Jin smiled softly with her hands covering her lips: "Come on, young man. You're fast too."
The bicycle is released, what else can't you get?
Chen Hong was indeed full of confidence.
The two talked for a while before parting.
The temple fair wasn't over yet, so naturally she wanted to spend some more time there.
In the distance, the emperor and his two companions were already walking back.
Zhao Jingcheng walked in front, talking to his brother, while Xie Huaiguang walked behind, looking thoughtful.
They all saw one thing.
That is, the emperor had a very good impression of Su Jin.
And this impression did not start from today, but from last year.
Last year, the emperor fell into the water at a poetry meeting and it was Gu Zixuan who saved him. But before that, Gu Zixuan was framed by Mu Yanluo. Su Jin calmly argued and cleared his son's name.
Then there was the Yong'an Marquisate supporting the national policy of diligence and thrift, then there was the selling of soap to foreign countries, and then there was the elegant woman who spoke with tears in her eyes at the Enrong Banquet.
Apart from the divorce, her appearance and family background were both good. In addition, his younger brother liked Su Jin, so Zhao Jingcheng took the initiative to confer her the title of sixth-rank Siyuan.
Xie Huaiguang also thought of this, and his steps became a little heavy.
Although I knew that Zhao Jingyu had a good impression of Su Jin, I didn't expect that the emperor felt the same way.
