C154

On the other side of the street, Shen Zhu took a stroll around the streets and bought some novelty toys for the children to play with. Seeing that it was getting late, she paid him and prepared to bring them back.

Shen Zhu had only taken two steps when she saw the nearby Shen Yao. If she were to strike up a conversation at this time, Shen Yao would definitely have an endless list of things to say. She wanted to avoid all these unnecessary troubles, so she pretended not to see her.

Shen Yao, who was walking nearby, saw her. She had been in the capital for a while, and was free to go out for a walk, but who would have thought that she would bump into Shen Zhu after walking for just a short while.

"Hmph, Shen Zhu, I want to see how you can be so proud of yourself in front of me."

When Shen Yao saw her, he immediately raised his head and stuck his chest out, trying to squeeze through the crowd to show off in front of her.

Not long after her family moved to the capital, Shen Zhu came. She naturally thought that Shen Zhu would not be able to live his miserable life in the village, so she decided to come to the capital to benefit from her.

Just as she was thinking about how to show off in front of Shen Zhu, Shen Zhu actually acted as if he did not see her, and walked away on his own. Shen Yao's heart was feeling even weirder.

She thought to herself: If Shen Zhu is unable to continue living in the village, then he must be living a miserable life. Why is he still far away? Did she not see him?

After thinking about it, Shen Yao concluded that Shen Zhu did not see the truth. If it was him, he probably would have rushed over and hugged his leg and cried for help.

Shen Yao thought as he followed Shen Zhu. Shen Zhu originally thought that he had already thrown her off, so he didn't mind at all and directly walked towards the Su Palace to enter.

"Shang... Minister Mansion? "

Shen Yao looked at her from afar as she entered the study, and watched dumbstruck as her back figure disappeared from his line of sight, and he couldn't recover from his shock for a long time.

It could be said that the entire city knew about the matter with the Su Family. Not to mention that Kong Linyuan had become an official, so the information on the Kong Family was much more well-informed than that of ordinary families. I heard that the three houses of Su Family do not get along well with the big houses and long rooms.

There were two gates on the side, and the one on the side was close to the generous one on the second floor.

They wouldn't be able to meet up with the three factions.

Shen Yao said in surprise as he watched Shen Zhu walk unhindered into the study.

"How is that possible? This is absolutely impossible. "

Shen Yao shook her head as she mumbled to herself, as she subconsciously concluded that the Su Family she knew definitely wasn't some power within the capital.

Although the outside rumours said that Minister Su Su had just returned to the capital, there were too many people in this world with the surname Su. It definitely could not be Su Zongwen's home.

"Madam, why did you come here? "You can make it easy for me to find you." A servant girl with two strings combed ran in front of Shen Yao, looking anxious.

"Qing Qing, let me ask you, what is that place?" Shen Yao pointed to the not so far away Palace door and asked.

Now that Kong Linyuan had become an official, he had established a sect in the capital and also bought a few servants. This servant girl called Qing Qing was in charge of personal servants for Shen Yao.

"Madam, that's Minister Mansion."

Qing Qing looked at it for a bit before opening her mouth, no doubt about it. She only looked at Shen Yao with a strange and puzzled expression, since the reputation of Minister Mansion was so great today, who in the capital didn't know of its existence?

"Minister Mansion!" Shen Yao recited each word clearly, unable to swallow his anger, and deceived himself in his heart: Shen Zhu must have used some kind of fox like method to climb up the Minister Mansion, a woman like her must have killed her husband and married into a rich family.

However, just as she was about to turn around, she seemed to have thought of something and turned back. Looking at the house that was currently being constructed next to Minister Mansion, she asked strangely: "There's Minister Mansion up ahead, whose mansion is it next to?"

"I heard that he's the eldest son of Minister Su's family, heard that Young Master Su is a man of martial arts and is well respected by the Emperor. The palace's most favored imperial concubine, Noble Consort, is his aunt, and he's become a big official in the Han Lin courtyard." I heard that he's the eldest son of Minister Su's family, heard that Young Master Su is a man of martial arts and is well versed in martial arts. Qing Qing was well-informed, and immediately explained the matter to Shen Yao.

"I heard from the people outside that Young Master Su has already gotten married, that there are a lot of people in the Su Palace, and the house beside Minister Mansion was bought by Noble Consort long ago. It has already been idle for so many years, and Noble Consort felt that the courtyard in Minister Mansion was too small for many people, so he gave the house to Young Master Su Family." After Qingqing finished speaking, Shen Yao's expression became even more unsightly.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Qing Qing noticed that Shen Yao's face was slightly ugly and asked worriedly.

"It's fine. Let's go back." Shen Yao suppressed his anger and did not have the mood to go shopping.

When Shen Zhu and Su Zhizhong returned to the World An Courtyard, they were still not home yet, and it was already getting late, so she ordered people to prepare a few more dishes that Su Zongwen liked to eat. Only then did she receive Ruanruan and play with the children in the courtyard.

Seeing that, the Ah Qiu returned to his own courtyard. Not long later, it was lunch time, and Su Zongwen was back, he ordered the servants to bring the dishes over, and the family members were able to eat.

"Brother Wen, I went to visit Hundred Fragrance House today, I had wanted to talk to Zhou Muqing about opening a shop in the capital, but unfortunately for him, he hasn't been to the capital these few days, and said that he was going to discuss business outside the city, and would need some time before coming back." Shen Zhu said as he grabbed some food for Su Zongwen.

"Don't be too anxious. Right now, Father and I are officials appointed by the imperial government. Our family's life is no longer the same as before. You don't have to work so hard."

Su Zongwen said with a pained heart as he stuffed several chopsticks into Shen Zhu's bowl, filling it to the brim.

"Come on, this meat tastes pretty good. Eat more and make up for it."

"I don't have any hard work. It's just opening a pastry shop." Shen Zhu looked at the pile of meat in the bowl, and could not help but laugh. When he finished laughing, he started to feel troubled, and looked at the pile of meat in the bowl without knowing what to do, and then looked at Su Zongwen.

"We are now officials' families, so we cannot compare to the past. When Yuzhu Pavilion opens up in the capital, who knows who else will take care of him." Shen Zhu said as he let out a small sigh.

They did not have any suitable people on their hands, and it was impossible for Su Qingyi and Su Yunyan to go back to the shop to help. Now that their Su Family had returned to how it was in the past, they were like the young miss of a house.

Su Yixuan and Su Yian were currently studying hard. Previously, their Su Family had been debased, and as sinners, they were no longer allowed to participate in the Imperial examinations. Now that the guilt on Su Zhizhong and the rest had been removed, if they wanted to enter office, the only way was to do their best to pass the examinations.

On the other hand, Su Yixuan was full of energy, it was just that Su Yian was always a noisy person, he could not calm down and read the books, and had just received a ruthless lesson from Su Zhiyan yesterday.

"These things can't be rushed, once the shop opens, there will be plenty of time. Yue Niang, you have a good eye, when the time comes, we can just hire more people from the outside."

Su Zongwen said as he grabbed another piece of meat from Shen Zhu's bowl.

Shen Zhu also knew that now, things could only get like this, in the end, she couldn't go up on stage with Su Yunyan and the rest. For the sake of face Su Family, she could only be the boss behind the scenes.

"Mother, Shuer wants to eat egg white tonight, can Mother cook for Shuer tonight?" After eating his fill, Jingshu obediently sat at the side of the table and looked at Shen Zhu with both of his eyes.

"Of course you can, if you want to eat Mother, I will make it for you later." Shen Zhu agreed with a smile.

After they finished eating, left for the small study. Su Zongwen did not stay in the courtyard either and followed them to the study room to do their work.

Not long after lunch, Shen Zhu went into the small kitchen to make fried eggs. With more people in the family, she called the kitchen attendant in the small kitchen over and taught her how to make them with her help. The speed at which the two of them cooked became faster as well.

"There's fire in this egg drop. You can't eat too much."

Shen Zhu smiled and reminded Jingshu, he ordered some of them to be sent to the courtyard of Su Zhizhong, Su Qingyi and the rest, and to be packed in boxes at the same time, he also sent some to Su Zongwen and Zi Yi.
