Su Jinan felt that the past few months back in the capital were more tiring than the more than ten years in Huailing, and in addition to greeting the elders every day, he also had to get along with the sisters in each room. The biggest headache for Su Jinan is that he can't run around with Su Muyang like before.

Su Jinan originally thought that she could return to the capital to see the prosperity of the ancient capital, but unfortunately there is always a gap between the ideal and the reality, all she sees is the deep mansion compound, although there is no life-and-death intrigue at present, but there are also some people who like to play some cleverness.

In the past few months, Su Jin'an has been living a life of not going out of the gate, the farthest place she has been to is Su Muyang's yard, she used to live in Su Muyang's yard in Annan, no problem, but now she goes a little more diligently, someone "taught" her: women want to be blue, instead of running blindly, it is better to learn from female red, etc., Su Jin'an who listens wants to hit the wall.

After another winter snowfall, Su Jinan caught a little cold, and in order to avoid some interpersonal interactions, she decisively fell ill. Anyway, when she explained why she didn't give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus publicly, she said that she was not in good health and had to be pressed to live a hundred years, so she would simply take advantage of it now.

Her "illness" is several days, so in the past few days, Mrs. Su has exempted her from asking for peace, except for the need to deal with the people who come to "visit", Su Jin'an is still very easy.

In the past few days, Su Jinan has been reading books, sleeping and sleeping every day, and finally has a little feeling when he was in Huailing, but the peaceful days are always short-lived. Just after breakfast today, Su Jin'an was ready to enjoy the snow scene and cultivate her sentiments, and when she welcomed her second uncle Su Yao's third daughter Su Chan, although she was a concubine, she received the attention of the Su family because she was also a twin son in Su Juan, which caused the life of the two sisters to be similar to that of their daughters, and also developed their delicate character, especially Su Chan, who is simply a typical nobody, pretentious, Su Jin'an has a little headache when she sees her.

Su Jin'an saw these two sisters when she first arrived in Su Mansion, both of them are very similar in appearance and personality, but there is a small black mole near Su Chan's cheekbones, so you can easily distinguish the identities of the two, before Su Jin'an came back, they have always been the sweets of Su Mansion, but after Su Mu came back, he said that Su Jin'an and Su Murong are also twins and are also dragon and phoenix fetuses, but when they were born, a wandering Taoist said that he wanted Su Jin'an to have a safe life, and it was best not to make it public before she and Lu, otherwise it would be ruined luck, So the family was not notified at that time, and now as soon as Su Mu announced it, they became the focus of the house, which directly caused the Su Chan sisters to feel "left out", so Su Chan went to Su Jin'an's side from time to time under various excuses, wanting to see what was extraordinary about this "dragon and phoenix fetus".

The last time I met Sister Su Chan was at the old lady's place, Su Chan had tried her openly and secretly, probably to see how her city government could keep her status as a sweetheart. Su Jinan has lived for more than thirty years and still doesn't know her little thoughts, so Su Jinan can't let a little girl be fooled, so Su Chan felt that Su Jin'an was not simple, and when she heard that Su Jin'an was sick, she came to visit her, at first Su Jin'an really didn't want her to ruin her mood and kept avoiding her, but she couldn't hide from the fifteenth day of junior high school, and her "illness" should be cured, so she didn't let anyone stop her.

Su Jin'an was half-leaning on the soft collapse in the room, covered with a tiger skin blanket, her hair was not combed and let them scatter on her shoulders, she did look a little weak, Su Jin'an waited for Su Chan to come in while fiddling with the teacup in her hand.

After a while, Zizhu lured Su Chan in, and as soon as Su Chan entered the door, she saw the "sick" Su Jin'an, and couldn't help but be concerned: "Is my sister better?" I've heard that you're sick for a long time, but you haven't come to visit, but today I heard that my sister got up and came to have a look. ”

Su Chan is fifteen years old this year, nominally one year older than Su Jin'an, because no one knows that Su Jin'an is an adopted daughter, they all think that Su Jin'an and Su Murong are twins and are fourteen years old this year, so she became Su Jin'an's "sister", fortunately, Su Jin'an has been used to her age for so many years, otherwise she would have to vomit.

"Let the second sister remember, I'm almost fine, second sister sit at will, I won't greet you." Su Jin'an returned.

Su Chan sat next to Su Jinan with a smile and said: "What else does the family say hello or not, I just came to see how you are today, it will be the eldest sister's sixteenth birthday in a few days, and the juniors in the family will get together at that time, you have just come back and have not met with everyone, I'm not afraid that you will miss it." ”

"It is said that the relatives of the family will come when the eldest sister is born, and no one has ever held such a birthday ceremony before!" Su Chan continued, and her words were full of envy and jealousy that girls often have.

Su Jinan just didn't hear it, and then said, "Really? Maybe the uncle dotes on the eldest sister more. ”

"Not really!" Su Chan retorted, "Uncle is usually very serious, and he is very strict with his children. Saying that, Su Chan leaned over to Su Jin'an and whispered: "I heard my aunt say that the uncle seems to be taking the opportunity to announce the eldest sister's marriage, after all, the eldest sister is sixteen, and it will be too late if she doesn't get married." ”

Su Jin'an was a little speechless when she heard this, it's too late to get married at sixteen, it's not even the legal age of marriage, okay, ancient women are really pitiful, fortunately she is fourteen now, wait, fourteen, isn't that how she will be married in two years, Su Jin'an suddenly felt that her illness might have relapsed a little,

"Sister! Younger sister! Su Chan looked at Su Jin'an's reluctance, and she didn't react, so she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

Su Jin'an came back to his senses: "Huh? What did you say? ”

Su Chan had no choice but to ask again: "I said that the eldest sister is getting married, aren't you happy for her?" What a reluctant look. ”

Su Jinan smiled slightly embarrassedly: "No, of course I'm happy for her, but after all, I can't meet often when I get married, it's just a little regrettable." ”

"It's still my sister who thinks a lot, look at me, I know blind happiness all day long."

"What's the matter, aren't you also happy for the eldest sister! The eldest sister will be happy when she finds out, but did she decide to hold a birthday banquet because she was going to announce her marriage? ”

"It should be, it is said that the uncle has found a very good family for the eldest sister, and it is said that it will help the uncle's career!"

"yes, that's good." Su Jinan said her opinion against her will, exchanging her daughter's lifelong events for her career Su Jinan disagreed, it seems that she can't hide from this birthday party.

Su Chan said to herself what she thought Su Jin'an might be concerned about, and at the same time asked about the third room, seeing that Su Jin'an had been indifferently and had no reaction, she got up and said goodbye.

After Su Chan left, Su Jin'an was stunned by herself, Zizhu and Xia Qu understood that she was thinking about things and silently withdrew. When it was almost noon, Su Jinan called Zizhu and Xia Qu and asked, "Has the powder frost arrived?" ”

Xia Qu and Zizhu glanced at each other: Is there something wrong? Xia Qu returned: "Not yet, but soon, it will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

Powder cream is also one of Su Jin'an's personal maids, but she has been trained in the famous killer organization on the rivers and lakes - Black Feather Gate, and she is one of Su Jin'an's right-hand men.

Seeing that Su Jin'an didn't speak, Zizhu asked, "Miss, is there anything you want Powder Cream to do?" ”

"No, I'm just asking, by the way, Zizhu, give me the information of Uncle Su Zheng."

"Sir? Didn't Miss find out the background of the big room and the second room before she came back? ”

Su Jinan didn't answer Zizhu's question, only said, "I want to read it again, and the information should be as detailed as possible." ”

"Okay." Zizhu didn't ask much.

Today, through some of Su Chan's words, the uncle is very powerful, Su Jinan feels that her uncle may be a little unusual, it seems that she has to "care" about this low-key uncle.

Today, Su Chan also reminded her of one thing, that is-family affairs, the ancients liked to marry early, they just returned to the capital, although the official position of his father Su Mu is not very high, but the Su family has a deep background, the eldest brother and the second brother are already of marriageable age, and someone who cares is estimated to have been inquiring, and she can't manage the outside affairs for the time being, but in this house, there are many people who want to think about it, it seems that she has to have a snack.

In the blink of an eye, it was a few days, Su Jin'an's "illness" has also been cured, and he has resumed his daily routine of getting up early to ask for peace, and tomorrow is Su Zi's birthday, because everyone lives in Su Mansion, so they didn't send an invitation, but the day before yesterday, Su Zi actually came to invite Su Jin'an in person, so that Su Jin'an had no way to refuse and had to prepare a gift.

When Su Jin'an asked the old lady to say goodbye early this morning, she asked to go out of the house under the pretext of giving Su Zi a birthday surprise, and the old lady Su didn't stop her, but just told her to pay attention to safety, bring a few more grandmothers and entourage, and come back early and so on, and then Su Jin'an reported to her mother and went out of the house smoothly.

Su Jinan didn't bring any entourage, anyway, she had practiced some boxing and kicking with Su Mu in the past few years, plus she had laid some foundation with her police father in modern times, and she was more than enough to deal with ordinary ruffians and hooligans, so she only brought Xia Qu and the coachman arranged by the old lady, and it was not easy to refuse if she was the best coachman in Su Mansion.

Su Jinan sat in the carriage and looked at the pedestrians and vendors on the street outside, and felt that she finally smelled a little bit of life, and she felt that she was going to be depressed when she held it back in the house.

As the main block got closer and denser, Su Jinan got out of the carriage and said to the coachman: "It's quite crowded in front, I just need to go into the store to take a stroll, you feel free, just wait for me here after lunch." ”

The driver was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and he looked at the third lady who had just come back from the third room and was a little uneasy: "Miss, let's follow you, it's okay to be hit by someone." ”

Su Jin'an finally came out, how could she carry her tail, so she decisively refused: "Don't worry, in broad daylight, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there will be no problem, besides, my girl will do a little kung fu, and she can deal with small things." After speaking, he gave Xia Qu a look.

Xia Qu immediately understood, took out a purse from his waist and stuffed it to the coachman, and said: "Big brother, I heard that my sister-in-law has been in poor health recently, and it just so happens that Miss Cousin is going to choose a birthday gift for Miss Cousin, it is estimated that it will take a long time, why don't you buy some supplements and go back and have a look." ”

The coachman hurriedly returned the purse, and said with some embarrassment: "How can this be, how can I go home when I go out of work." ”

Su Jinan felt that this person was really inflexible, so he had to persuade him: "You take it, go back and take a look, I can't get out for a while, and I don't like unfamiliar people to follow, you go back, I won't tell the old lady." ”

Seeing the coachman's hesitation, Su Jinan directly threw the purse to him and said, "My mother asked me to go home before sunset, I don't need you to follow, you can just feel free for the rest of the time." Then he turned and left, and Xia Qu glanced at him and followed, leaving only the coachman tangled in place.

Walking on the lively street, Su Jinan felt this rare fireworks, and finally felt like a normal person, although this street is not as prosperous as a modern commercial street, but it also has a unique flavor, but Su Jinan did not linger in these bustles, but followed Xia Qu directly into a low-key but exquisite storefront - Linlang Pavilion.

As soon as Su Jinan entered the door, the little brother in the store came to greet her: "This young lady is welcome to our store, I wonder if the young lady needs a small service?" ”

Su Jinan didn't speak, just looked at the layout of the store seriously: the façade, furniture and shelves are all made of good iron pear wood, the store is divided into two floors, the first floor they are now on is the hall, there are about a dozen shelves, neatly placed on the ground, there are a variety of goods, there are all kinds of accessories, antiques and some gadgets from other countries, and there is a place to provide tea and rest next to it, Su Jinan nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that Su Jin'an didn't speak, and the little brother was about to introduce the treasures in the store, Xia Qu handed him a black jade card about two fingers wide and one finger long without waiting for him to speak: "What about your boss?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the black jade in his hand with pure color and black body without a trace of impurities, even if he didn't know the goods, he knew that the value of this jade brand was simply hard to find, just when he was appreciating the jade brand, Xia Qu's question interrupted his thoughts, and made him suddenly remember what the boss said when the store opened a few months ago: Our Linlangge is a chain store, which means that this is a branch, and there are also our stores in other different places, In addition to complying with the staff regulations, there is also one point to pay attention to when working here, that is, because we have more stores, so we should give some feedback to some old customers, so if you see someone holding a silver medal, jasper card, white jade card to consume customers should give priority to hospitality, they enjoy the discount is nine fold, eight fold, six fold, and the most important point is that once you meet someone who shows the ink jade card, that is our most important customer, directly bring me to see me, you must remember.

Thinking of the boss's words, the shopkeeper was full of excitement, and hurriedly bowed ninety degrees to the two "most important" guests in front of him to lead the way: "The two come with me, the boss is upstairs." ”

When he arrived on the second floor, Su Jinan opened his mouth and said to the shopkeeper: "You go down, let's go in by ourselves." ”

The shopkeeper said respectfully: "Yes, the two of you are free." After saying that, he quickly jumped down the first floor.

Su Jinan looked at the shopkeeper who was fleeing for his life, smiled and said to Xia Qu: "It seems that Uncle Qing has done staff training." ”

The shopkeeper ran all the way down the stairs, his heart was still pounding: he actually met the most important customer that the boss said, although the business in their store was okay these days, but after all, there were not many customers in the new store, but he didn't expect that at this time he actually met the person holding the black jade card, and he couldn't forget the texture of the jade card until now, it was like a dream.

The shopkeeper next to him couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw him excited, so he wanted to see what was wrong with him, but he didn't want to scream several times, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and the shopkeeper was startled and turned around to see the evil smile of his companion: "Wuzi, what do you think, you shouldn't be called." ”

The little brother named Wuzi grabbed the little brother who patted him, looked around carefully, and saw that there was no talent, and whispered mysteriously: "Little Liu, do you know what I saw just now?" ”

"What?" Xiaoliu is also a little curious.

"Ink, jade, and cards." Wuzi didn't sell Guanzi, and directly said the answer, Xiaoliu didn't react at first, and then looked at Wuzi with wide eyes and surprise: "Is that what the boss said?" Really? ”

Wu Zi Zhengse said: "Of course it's true, I've never seen such a good jade, that feel is simply amazing, and now people are on it, can it be fake?" ”

Xiao Liu said excitedly: "Then tell me quickly, who is it." ”

Wuzi looked at the excited Xiaoliu and deliberately said, "The boss said that you can't talk about guests at will." Then he rolled up his sleeves solemnly: "I'm going to work." ”

In exchange for Xiao Liu's stubborn fighting: "Don't be so serious, you can tell me quickly, just say a little ......" As the two of them left, the hall returned to quiet, but the upstairs was not quiet.

Su Jinan looked at the closed door in front of him and motioned for Xia Qu to knock on the door, and the door was opened by a woman with red lips and white teeth, wearing a strong suit and green clothes, who looked like a heroine at first glance, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the temperament of the heroine disappeared.

The one who opened the door was the powder frost that she hadn't seen for a few months, and when she saw that it was Xia Qu and Su Jin'an, she was excited to jump up: "Xia Qu!" Miss, I finally see you. ”

Su Jinan touched her round face: "It's good to come, come back with us in a while." ”

"Good!" Powder Cream said happily.

"Let's talk, I'll go find Uncle Qing." Su Jin'an said as she walked inside.

Fan Shuang pulled Xia Qu to sit outside and chattered something, Su Jinan went straight to the back room, which was a small study, but the bookshelf was not a book but a variety of account books, some thick and some thin, there was a desk about three meters long behind the bookshelf, at this moment there was a man in his forties, with a beard looking at the account book seriously, and from time to time he took a pen to mark it, and even Su Jinan didn't notice it when he walked in.

Su Jinan knocked on the bookshelf next to him, and the middle-aged man raised his head, and when he saw that it was Su Jinan, he immediately got up and saluted respectfully: "Miss, you are here." ”

Su Jinan hurriedly supported him: "Uncle Qing, didn't I say that I don't have to salute when I see him." ”

"Okay, I see, isn't it a long time since I've seen you?" Uncle Qing said with a smile.

Su Jinan looked at the account book on the table and said to Uncle Qing: "Uncle Qing, these days have been hard, and I am a little unaccustomed to moving here from Huailing." ”

Uncle Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, I can have today thanks to you and the eldest prince, otherwise I would have been fed poisonous insects by those barbarians a long time ago, and now I am very happy to be able to do something for you here." ”

Su Jinan walked to Uncle Qing's position just now and sat down, simply looked at the account book on the table, Uncle Qing spontaneously reported to Su Jinan about the current operation in the capital: "Miss, our Linlang Pavilion has been open in the capital for more than three months, but the sales volume is far from being compared with Huailing, and now we can only barely lose money, and the restaurant place that Miss said has been plated down, and the location is good, but there are two restaurants with a good reputation nearby, and it is not easy for us to intervene." ”

Su Jinan didn't look up and just said relaxedly: "Don't worry, we have time to wait slowly, after all, Linlang Pavilion has just opened, there are no customers here, business is very normal, it will be good after a long time, as for the restaurant, ......"

Su Jinan raised his head and looked at Uncle Qing and continued: "The restaurant is not in a hurry, you will give me the title deed in a while, you don't have to worry about the restaurant for the time being, let's let Linlang Pavilion stand firm first." ”

"Okay-" Qingyang said respectfully, he was an ordinary merchant, he accidentally offended the barbarians in the south when he bought goods once, and was later rescued by Su Muqing, so he has been doing chores by his side, and it didn't take long for Su Muqing to let him follow Su Jin'an, when he first met Su Jin'an, she was only eleven years old, and she took them to create Linlang Pavilion and Baiweixuan in two years, and now everyone knows and knows about them in Annan and Huailing. He admires Su Jinan from the bottom of his heart, at a young age, he not only has superb medical skills but also has such a talent for business, if he is a man, he will definitely leave a name for a hundred years.

Su Jinan talked with Qingyang for a while, then changed into men's clothes and went out with powder, in order not to let people see it, she didn't bring Xia Qu, let her stay and choose a gift for Su Zi for herself, and wait for her to come back by the way.
