45. 45 Mid-Autumn Festival 1
The summer of Hu disappeared very quickly, and in just half a month, the air had disappeared, and it was replaced by the coolness of early autumn in Hu country.
Autumn in the north is different from Daikin, it seems that there is only one night, and the green trees in the palace are covered with a layer of heavy gold, and the original purple and red garden is also full of color, which has a mature atmosphere.
It took Su Rui half a month to finally figure out how much his dowry was, it was really rich, but fortunately, it seemed that Sikong Jin was not much interested in her dowry, and as soon as Su Rui asked the key to the treasury, he took it out and handed it to Su Rui, which Su Rui was quite surprised, she originally thought that she would have to work hard to get it.
It's just that most of those dowries are precious jewels and silk satin, and there is not much real money, and it is still a huge and arduous project for Su Rui to get these treasures out of the palace.
Su Rui and Sikong Jin had a tacit understanding not to mention what happened that night.
Sikong Jin seems to be really idle, she is in the Huanhua Palace all day, almost staying at home, which makes Su Rui suffer, except for the Huanhua Palace and the back garden of the palace, she has hardly been anywhere. Liuli is like a little tail, wherever Suri goes, she follows her.
Liuli is different from other palace maids, Su Rui observed, her knuckles are slightly thicker than ordinary palace maids, her hands are slender and powerful, and her palms have a faint callus, and her steps are lighter than ordinary people, sometimes Su Rui really suspects that she is a ghost, and she walks without sound.
She knows martial arts, and Suri summed up this conclusion. And Suri also tried her a few times, she is indeed extraordinary, and she is deeply hidden.
Whether this is sent by Sikong Jin to monitor himself or protect himself, Su Rui does not know, maybe both.
Su Rui seemed to feel that she was becoming more and more lonely in the palace, and she felt that if she continued to develop like this, she might really become a resentful woman in the deep palace. But fortunately, there is one news that Suri is full of blood again, that is, in another month, the construction of the new Ryan Palace will be completed, and she will be able to move out of the palace at that time.
The prince moved to a new residence, which was also a big event in the palace, and before the new palace was about to be completed, Su Rui was called by the queen several times to discuss choosing an auspicious day for the zodiac to move.
For this Suri who ran faster than a rabbit and was finally about to leave this place that made her depressed to death, could she not run faster?
Emperor Hu also attached great importance to this matter, because Su Rui was assassinated one after another, and he sent some guards from the palace to guard the safety of the palace.
The days flew by, and Su Rui finally survived the happy day of the relocation of the palace, and after a whole day of tossing, Su Rui finally walked out of the palace that made her almost depressed.
The new palace is not in the center of the capital, but in the western suburbs, you can walk a few steps out of the city, although it is remote, but it is a rare and quiet place in the capital. The surrounding scenery is also good, there is a small mirror lake, on the right side of the palace, it is also a beautiful place in the capital, there are often literati and scholars boating on the lake here, and the poems are right.
After Su Rui moved into the new palace, he no longer lived with Sikong Jin, but had his own separate courtyard, there was a delicate small building in the courtyard, Su Rui named it auspicious Ruyi Building, Sikong Jin lived in a garden next to her, where it was planted with maple trees and plum blossoms, and now the maple leaves are red like clouds and fire, beautiful, even before the completion of the palace, Hu Guo's majesty who came to visit also felt that the scenery here could simply become a must in the capital, So on a whim, he nominated this garden as the Frost Residence, and others applauded, but Su Rui didn't care, and he felt very cold just by hearing the name. However, it is appropriate for Sikong Jin to live in it, and Leng went together, and Su Rui felt that it was more appropriate to call it an ice cellar.
At the back of the auspicious Ruyi Building, there is a special warehouse for stacking Su Rui's dowry.
Suri found out that people were too rich and a burden. For example, she is a pure silk girl in her bones, always dreaming of living a life like a rice worm, and suddenly one day, this dream came true, she became a nouveau riche, but found that she couldn't use money at all.
Su Rui suddenly felt that her thoughts had also sublimated to a certain level, although she was poor and terminally ill before, she cherished every day of her life, and worked hard to make her life full and happy, but now, she was noble and rich, but she was depressed all day long.
What a life! Why is it always so tossed?
Fortunately, after leaving the palace, Su Rui is much freer in his actions, but Sikong Jin is according to what he said before, as long as Su Rui doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, he really doesn't restrict Su Rui's freedom much.
Su Rui went to ask if he had to explain to Sikong Jin every time he wanted to go out of the house, but he said very generously, no. But be sure to let Ruri follow.
Su Rui also agrees with this, after all, after experiencing two assassination storms, she doesn't want to die so quickly.
In order to facilitate going out of the house, Su Rui deliberately made a few sets of men's clothes, and after changing clothes, a beautiful boy appeared in the mirror, but unfortunately Su Rui couldn't cover the scars at the corners of his eyes, why did he cooperate with men's clothes, she simply made a blindfold to cover her left eye.
So a one-eyed beautiful boy appeared on the streets of the capital in such a nondescript manner, followed by a tall maid. At first, the combination of Su Rui and Liuli was quite eye-catching, but after a long time, people got used to it. It's just that Su Rui is a rich son from another country who came to the capital of Hu to do business, plus Su Rui is bold and generous, but she is also familiar with her in the street market in the capital.
In order to hide people's eyes, Su Rui also chartered a room in the Ruijin Inn for a long time to avoid his identity being revealed.
Su Rui only knew that Liuli followed him every day, but what he didn't know was that Sikong Jin also sent someone from the Secret Pavilion to secretly protect and record her every qiē in detail.
At first, Sikong Jin thought that Su Rui was boring, wandering around all day and spending money everywhere, but gradually he found out that Su Rui was not really as profligate as he seemed on the surface.
She won't save money where she should use it, but she won't use a penny where she shouldn't.
Over the past few days, Sikong Jin has one more thing to do every night, which is to watch the daily action record of Su Rui. For example, who she met. What was said, what money was spent, and what was done was written down in full on the record.
Sikong Jin found that he couldn't guess what this woman was doing. Her preferences don't seem to be at all different from those of ordinary aristocratic women.
The royal women or aristocratic women he knows are either fond of jewelry, musical instruments and antiques, and more like things from his daughter's family, while Suri seems to like to make friends with all kinds of people in the market and inquire about all kinds of news.
What does she want to do?
The days passed day by day in Su Rui's wandering and Sikong Jin's surveillance, and in a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
According to the rules of the palace, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion, and all the princes must bring their families into the palace and share their family with His Majesty. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival every year is as grand as the Spring Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival of Hu State, the weather is already very cold, it is said that the chrysanthemums in the palace this year are better than in previous years, so the emperor is happy, and he got a Mid-Autumn Festival chrysanthemum party, not only the people of the royal family want to participate, but the officials of the court and China all bring their families to participate, it is very grand.
The news that the palace was going to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation party Su Rui had known for a long time.
So she bought the top silk from several big satin houses in the capital. The bosses of those silk villages are still wondering, Hu Guo does not produce silk, silk is shipped from Dajin, what kind of trouble is this Su Gongzi going to make, not to buy cheap silk in Dajin, but to buy expensive silk in Hu State. You must know that this kind of top-grade silk is rarely cared for on weekdays, so Su Rui said yes, and those bosses took the initiative to reduce the price for her.
When Sikong Jin saw this at night, he couldn't help but wonder, does Su Rui want to be a profiteer?
Sure enough, a few days later, as soon as the news of the banquet in the palace came out, all the silk shops in the capital were dumbfounded, the best silk in their store had been swept away by Su Rui, and Su Rui had quietly opened a Su Ji department store in the prosperous area of the capital, and the silk in it was the top in the capital of the whole Hu country.
As a result, without any publicity, Su Kee Department Store quickly became the most willing place for the princes and nobles of the capital.
Su Rui hid behind the curtain and really laughed for a long time!
It's just that as soon as she turned her hands, she made a lot of money, and she also made the best publicity for her new store for free, I really want to thank Sikong Jin and his whole family!
