At night, Su Jin finally came back.
"Why so late?" Su Li asked.
"After the banquet, several of my fellow brothers said it was their first time in Beijing, so they took me for a stroll around the streets."
"I see. Have you had dinner?"
Su Jin nodded: "I have already eaten."
Then he said, "Eldest sister, General Duan gave us twenty days of rest so that those of us who live far away can visit our parents."
"Oh?" Su Li nodded immediately. "You haven't been home for many years. It's time to go back and see your parents. When will you go back?"
"We have to report to the camp tomorrow and leave early the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go back with me?"
"Your brother-in-law will be back soon, and he'll have to hold a ceremony to recognize his ancestors. It would be inappropriate if I'm not here."
She is now Pei Ji's wife. She knew that Pei Ji was about to come back and would later return to his ancestral home, but she went back herself. This is totally unacceptable.
Su Jin already knew that his brother-in-law was the eldest son and grandson of Duke Ji, so he understood what he said: "Then I will go back by myself."
"Well, how are you going to get back? By carriage or on horseback? If you want to take a carriage, I'll have Xiao Sanzi take you back."
"Horse, ride fast."
If he were going back with his elder sister, he would have let her ride in the carriage. Now that he was going back alone, it would of course be faster to ride a horse.
Su Li nodded. Since she was going to ride a horse, she would not bring anything for her parents. After all, a horse could not carry too much luggage. It would be more convenient to bring them some banknotes.
"I'll go to the camp tomorrow, and then I'll go straight back."
"Okay, the journey home is long, you should rest more in the next two days and don't overwork yourself."
"knew……"
The next morning.
Before Su Jin left, Su Li gave him two thousand taels of silver notes: "Take this note back to your parents. Remember to tell them clearly about my situation in the capital and don't let them worry."
Su Jin already knew that her eldest sister owned dozens of shops on Jinxiu Street. Two thousand taels was nothing to her elder sister now, so she did not refuse on behalf of her parents and directly accepted the banknote.
"Don't worry, elder sister, I will."
"I'm leaving."
"Be careful on your journey."
"good."
Su Jin jumped onto the horse and lightly kicked its belly. The horse raised its hooves and galloped forward.
Only after the man and the horse disappeared around the corner did Su Li turn around and enter the mansion.
Zhou family.
Pei Xiuli sat in front of the dressing table, looking excited as she dressed herself up beautifully.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from the box beside the bed.
Zhou Yi bought her clothes and jewelry last night to apologize to her.
One hundred taels! How long would it take for her family in her mother's family to save up so much money?
She had never had so much money in her life.
Pei Xiuli was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, and the quarrel with Zhou Yi last night was long forgotten.
Taking the banknotes, she went out happily humming a little tune.
Outside the door, Liu Furong was sitting in the carriage waiting for her.
Liu Furong lifted the curtain with a warm smile on her face: "Good sister, you finally came out."
"Sister Liu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Pei Xiuli said this without hesitation as she got into her carriage: "Sister Liu, where are we going?"
"It's almost noon, let's find a place to have lunch..."
The carriage started and headed towards Changming Street.
After arriving at Mingyue Restaurant, the two were led by the waiter to the private room booked by Liu Furong.
Liu Furong had ordered the dishes long ago, so the two of them sat for just a short while before the dishes arrived.
There was a table full of delicacies from land and sea. Pei Xiuli stared at it with her eyes wide open and swallowed unconsciously.
Such a large table of delicious-looking dishes would probably cost more than ten taels of silver, right?
Fortunately, she is rich now, otherwise she would not even be able to pay for food, which would be so embarrassing.
A flash of disdain flashed across Liu Furong's eyes, and then she smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "I'll treat you to dinner today, sister. Come and eat."
Pei Xiuli's eyes lit up. She didn't have to pay!
"Thank you, Sister Liu. I won't be polite then."
As he said this, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of unknown dish in front of him and put it into his mouth.
tasty!
Pei Xiuli could say without hesitation that this was the first time she had eaten something so delicious.
She didn't bother to talk and picked up other dishes and put them into her mouth. They tasted even better!
"Eat slowly."
Liu Furong raised the corner of her mouth and glanced at the maid beside her.
The maid was very tactful and came to Pei Xiuli, pouring tea and serving dishes, which made Pei Xiuli eat more comfortably.
After eating and drinking, she burped contentedly.
"Is this dish to your liking?" Liu Furong took a sip of tea and asked slowly.
"That's perfect! These dishes are so delicious!"
"Is that enough? Do you want to order a few more?"
"That's enough, I'm full. If I eat any more, I'll get stuffed. Haha!"
Pei Xiuli thought to herself, it would be great if she could eat such delicious food every day.
"As long as you're full." He looked at the maid beside him and said, "Go pay the bill."
"yes."
The maid turned and left the private room.
"Sister Liu, thank you so much today. This meal is quite expensive, isn't it?"
This hits the nail on the head. Liu Furong was just about to bring up the topic.
"It's okay, just a few hundred taels."
"A few hundred taels!"
Pei Xiuli was shocked. Just a few hundred taels.
For a meal, she thought a dozen taels would be the maximum, but she didn't expect it would cost several hundred taels!
Liu Furong looked nonchalant: "Why are you so surprised? Is this your first time here?"
