Chapter 44 Encounter

On a holiday, the afternoon sun was slightly hot, but fortunately there was thick shade from the trees in Songtao Pavilion. Mrs. Chang was reading under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, which was very comfortable, while Su Wu was practicing sword moves in the open space in the courtyard to stretch his muscles.

After a while, Su Wu put away his sword and sat in front of his wife to drink tea. He asked as if he suddenly remembered, "Where did Zi Jin go today?"

A few days ago, my daughter inspected the Su family's real estate shop, but she found a lot of work for herself. The last time Hu had a big problem, he had a few drinks with Uncle Anding and others. After talking about it, he joined forces to attack the surrounding villagers.

The leader either coaxed or intimidated the common people who had sold their land to make amends and return the land, restoring it to the scale it had been originally given by His Majesty. He also dealt with the leader of the village, and finally calmed down.

Those village heads were all people with meritorious service or old servants who had worked hard even without merit. Except for my own family, there was even some turmoil in the homes of several other noble families, and rumors spread in Kyoto. Your Majesty also intervened because of this.

Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little bitter and proud when he thought of His Majesty's expression of satisfaction when he learned that the turmoil caused by Zi Jin's investigation of the land granted by the emperor was the result of his inquiry.

The bitter thing is that my daughter worked vigorously and resolutely, checking out the problems one by one every day, but left the follow-up handling of the problems to herself. Instead, my daughter followed my instructions. What was proud of me was that Zi Jin hit the nail on the head and mobilized Ding Anbo and others to patch up the problems and took the initiative to fix them.

When my daughter cleans up, she will also take the initiative to say that she did a good job with a smile.

Even if some people thought that he was being nosy, His Majesty, with his satisfied expression, did not dare to complain. Instead, he would follow the others and praise his daughter against their will.

Su Wu had already made plans to take a break today and continued to answer all the questions his daughter threw at him, but he didn't expect to be able to rest peacefully at home.

Hearing her master's words, Mrs. Chang raised her eyelids and looked away from the book, "Why, my daughter doesn't arrange things for you, but you don't get used to it?"

Su Wu smiled "hehe" and did not hide his thoughts, "In the past, I always felt that our family was obviously not one of those troubled families, but there were still some chronic diseases that could not be treated. Now Zijin went all the way to treat our family.

All the problematic areas were cleaned and resolved, and I felt indescribably relaxed and happy."

Mrs. Chang rolled her eyes, "Hey, so you knew there was a problem? I thought you, the general, would disdain your family's property."

Mrs. Chang complained angrily and looked at her master scratching his head. Then Mrs. Chang said, "Are you thinking about how much property our family can have? Your daughter will have a piercing every day. She will take care of any minor problems herself.

There are too many involved, and everything that is difficult to deal with is thrown to you. Now Zijin has already handed over the account book. People said that she has already sorted out this bit of property, and the rest will be checked regularly.

I don't have to do anything to relieve my boredom on weekdays. I have nothing to do at the moment, so I am taking my friends out for a leisurely shopping trip."

Su Wu couldn't help but laugh, and the tea in his mouth almost spit out. He coughed, and Su Wu leaned back on the chair and sighed happily, "I really should let those people in the household department see what my daughter is capable of."

Su Zijin didn't know that her father was suddenly idle and uncomfortable. She was currently shopping in the busiest tax street in Kyoto with Hou Yi and other guards.

"Miss, the reception building just now looked luxurious, but the food here is just average. Let's go to Deyue Building to try Huaiyang cuisine next time. I heard there are a lot of gourmets there."

Hou Yi followed Su Zijin, bending down to talk, looking like a bitch.

Su Zijin glanced sideways at the somewhat flattering Hou Yi and said, "Okay, you can invite me next time."

Hou Yi's face wrinkled instantly, and his random facial features were squeezed together, making it even more ugly. "You are a young lady, how can you have the nerve to take over someone else's place?"

Su Zijin was annoyed, "The money in your pocket shouldn't be less than mine, right?"

Hou Yi hurriedly held his purse and waved, "How can I compare with you? I have to save money to marry a wife. I will have a lot of expenses in the future, but I can't spend it randomly. A meal in a restaurant is worth several taels of silver, plus these animals

, one meal costs dozens of taels, how can a humble person afford it?"

Su Zijin had a black line on his forehead, "You mean I'm being taken advantage of, right?" Su Zijin winked at the guards behind him, and the people who had just heard Hou Yi call them "animals" swarmed up and pressed against Hou Yi's body.

Neck, "Whose beast are you talking about? Just follow the lady's invitation and eat. Why did you say it out loud! If the lady doesn't invite you in the future, it will be your fault?"

Hou Yi is a good person. When he heard that the painting style was wrong, he quickly continued, "Where is it? Miss is so generous, why would she care about this with us? I am used to being poor. I said the wrong thing and I should be beaten! Miss,

It doesn't matter where you take us to eat next time, we don't have to choose!"

Su Zijin didn't bother to pay attention to the chorus and just walked away.

"Hey, miss, don't leave! Aren't you looking for the young master with the Book of Songs? It's me, Guan Guan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou. My fair lady..."

On the busy Tax Street, there was a sudden noise, which caused pedestrians to look over involuntarily.

On Taxation Street, the people who come and go are all people wearing brocade clothes, either with status or wealth. Therefore, although there are many shops and people coming and going, it is not noisy, but lively but orderly. Even restaurants

The waiter at the door entertained the guests, and he was enthusiastic but not noisy. Suddenly there was a conflict, and it seemed to involve the courtship of a man and a woman, which instantly attracted everyone's attention. From the street to the end of the street, everyone's eyes were attracted.

Su Zijin didn't like to join in the fun by nature. She only liked to gossip, so she looked at the place where the conflict was. Su Zijin pointed to a teahouse opposite, "Let's go there."

The second floor of the teahouse is a great place where you can watch the excitement up close without being crowded.

After going to the VIP room on the second floor, Su Zijin sat at the window and looked down.

It turns out that the place where the conflict occurred was a bookstore. It looked quite large, with a four-door door. There were some introductory books and paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds hung at the door. At this time, one of the conflicting parties was about to leave, and the other reached out to pull him.

If the maid of the lady in front hadn't stopped her, the scholar from behind would have reached the arm of the young lady in front of him.

The scholar's appearance was very strange. His facial features alone were pretty good, but when combined, they somehow made Su Zijin think of the word "pointed ears and monkey cheeks". In comparison, Hou Yi was even more pleasing to the eye than the people below. It was a waste of time.

The brand new student uniform worn by the scholar.

"Miss, isn't that Miss Jiaojiao?"

The young lady covering her face with a veil in front was being pulled. Her hand was slightly shaken away, revealing half of her face and she immediately covered it tightly. However, Hou Yi was born as a scout and was born to recognize people and objects more sensitively than others. At this time, he said it was Su Jiaojiao.
