Chapter XXVIII

The sunset reflects the Qinhuai River, the breeze is gentle, accompanied by a little chill, the willow branches have fallen leaves, it seems a little withered, around the lively Jiangning City, after the emperor's funeral, it still seems lonely and dull, in the depressing atmosphere, many things that happened in the city in the seventh year of Chunyuan have been omitted.

This year is already the first year of Shenwu.

The chess stall by the Qinhuai River is no longer placed, the old man is probably because of the weather, or for the love of the first emperor, he is not willing to show his head for a period of time, in fact, after retiring to Jiangning, except for a few good friends before, not many people know his true identity, of course, after the new emperor ascended the throne, many "visionary" people have begun to move around, and the old man's slightly dilapidated courtyard gradually increased.

The people at the top may still be staging a drama of deceit, and the people at the bottom seem to have no scruples about this, and the usual days are still going on, running around every day to make a living.

The Su family's small academy, just after the New Year, the children have not come to school, and several old masters have also gone home for the New Year, so it seems a little empty.

The originally scheduled start date was approaching, and the Su family arranged for someone to come over to clean the academy.

In fact, it really makes no difference to her who is the emperor, she has been by Su Xiaoyan's side all the year round, and the highest-ranking official she has come into contact with is only the prefect of Jiangning, speaking of which, for a businessman like them, the vision is probably nothing more than that. Therefore, she was still a little resentful of the imperial court's order not to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve.

The drama of talented and beautiful women has always been very attractive to people living in Jiangning City, and the stories of these talented and beautiful women probably appear more frequently in the poetry meetings held at various festivals, and they are talked about.

Jiangning's culture and education are thriving, and the poetry club can be said to have lasted from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but since last year, several poetry meetings have suffered in vain, and the entire Jiangning City has not let go of playing for several days.

Seeing that the Shangyuan Festival was approaching, the people of Jiangning, who had a lively heart, were splashed with cold water again, and they had some words in private, but they didn't dare to show it on the surface.

Lu'er, who was sent by the Su family to supervise the work, looked unhappy, and many of the family members who came to work saw it in their eyes, so they all took out ten times the usual thoughts, and did not dare to slack off at all.

Of course, Lu'er's mind is probably not only bad because he can't have fun, as a management talent that the Su family intends to cultivate, even if he is a little playful because of his age, he will not deal with it sloppily in major matters. The reason why she has always kept a straight face is probably because of a few relatives who have come to the Su family in recent days.

In her eyes, those nasty fellows should have beaten the house with a broomstick.

As the number one cloth merchant in Jiangning City, the Su family's exchanges during the New Year and festivals are naturally not like ordinary people's, and the scattered "relatives" will also drag their families over, saying that they are visiting, but in the end they have selfish intentions, and most of them want to gain some benefits through the relationship between the Su family.

Therefore, every time it comes to the end of the year, the small courtyard of the Su family is not a little smoky, and those relatives really regard themselves as masters when they come, and they are also a little arrogant to the subordinates in the house, and they are not a little angry about people like Lu'er who are considered "their own family". Of course, as the maids of the Su Mansion, this idea is not right, but those who occupy the relationship with the main family and do not treat them are really hateful.

Lu'er was secretly sad for a while, thinking that she would take a leave of absence with the young lady in a few days and go home.

If you can't afford to provoke you, you can always afford to hide.

The little girl thought about it and sighed, turned around, and ordered things to go.

Su Xiaoyan has moved out of the yard where she originally lived a few days ago, and now this small courtyard is a little narrow, and it has always been used as her residence, of course, because she saved someone's life, this place has temporarily become a place to recuperate, and now a large number of relatives have come, she wants to be clean, so she moved back. The relatives of the Su family can still understand her weight, so no one dares to come and disturb her without opening their eyes.

Of course, as a woman, she controls the family business, so naturally there are many people behind her who speak ill of her, and there are no longer a few people who mention it to Su's father in private. In fact, those relatives came every year, and she could guess something, probably trying to convince her father to hand over her business to them.

Su Xiaoyan was very angry, when she was originally poor, she didn't see these people so kind, but now she finally has a place in this Jiangning City. But they put it on like a plaster of dog's skin, and recognized their relatives.

Su Xiaoyan has always been unwilling to admit the Su family.

Therefore, in business, as long as she lives, those people will not have a chance.

At dusk, Master Su carried a bag of bought sugar and wandered into Su Xiaoyan's courtyard, his love for his daughter is really incomprehensible, and it is precisely because of this that those who originally flattered him are now beginning to please Su Xiaoyan, and they know that Su Xiaoyan is more effective in talking about this family.

Master Su put the candy on the table, picked up the account book on the table, looked at it for a moment, and said, "If you put these down in advance, the business will not be done." ”

Su Xiaoyan heard the voice, and then came out of the study, and glanced at Master Su with some blame: "Dad." I won't say a word when you come here. ”

Master Su looked at his daughter dotingly, "If Dad tells you, wouldn't he not see you so tired!" ”

"You, such an adult, why don't you know how to take care of yourself."

Su Xiaoyan grinned: "Don't you learn this from your father!" As he spoke, he took the candy bag from the table, carefully opened it, and pinched one and put it in his mouth.

"And what...... This house is a little small, and my daughter wants to change you to a big house after a while......" Her eyes fell on the account book, and said leisurely, "So this account must be calculated first!" ”

Master Su sat down and shook his head: "It's very comfortable to live here, so you don't have to spend it." ”

Su Xiaoyan shook her head vigorously, "It's better to be bigger, bigger, and my father doesn't have to give up his house." ”

Master Su said hesitantly: "According to the generation, it is my father's second uncle, so that the house is not tight." ”

Su Xiaoyan pouted, a little annoyed: "Dad, your heart is too good." ”

Master Su said leisurely, and the conversation turned away: "You are also not small, and my father is estimated to tell you about family affairs!" ”

Su Xiaoyan froze for a moment, then came over in a trance and asked, "What did they tell you?" ”

Before Master Su could speak, Su Xiaoyan's voice suddenly increased, and she glared at her eyes and said, "Which one wants to marry me?" ”
