The Imperial Concubine Chef - C115
No one had expected this to happen. Two months later, the Haian City really did change to a Prefect. Furthermore, this Prefect was also the eldest son of the Li branch family, Li Baoxiao.
Li Baoxiao, this Prefect, was even specially promoted by the emperor himself. Thus, after everyone from the Lee family knelt on the ground and listened to the imperial edict, they were all shocked.
Receiving the imperial edict, Li Baoxiao quickly called for the order officer to come into the inner hall for tea. After some questioning, he found out that the original Prefect, Liu Tong, had been transferred to the capital to become a government official. However, Li Baoxiao was very clear that although Liu Tong seemed to have levelled up by half a level, that new job was a leisurely and powerless official position. However, no one in the Li family would feel that it was a pity to such a disorderly official like Liu Tong. Even though the Li family did not want to be an official, especially in a situation like this where the situation was unstable, since the situation was already like this, they could only brace themselves and charge forward.
Su Xinyu also found out about it on the same day, but she was different from those people who quickly fawned over her for thousands of times. Not only did he not move forward, she acted as if she did not know anything. She busied herself every day between the sauce factory and her home. The last time the jam was sent away by Zhang Ziyi, half a month later, he added another 3000 kilograms. Right now, he needed to accumulate even more funds and customers. Although the sauces factory was not her goal, if she wanted to support the next restaurant, she would need to have many basic industries. At that time, all these important things would be in her hands, and only then would she be able to ensure that the secret formula was not leaked out. More importantly, she still knew the situation, as Zhang Ziyi had said. If the Third Prince became the power in the end, it would definitely not be easy for them. Rather than that, it was better to just wait and see until the dust settled. It wouldn’t be too late to open a restaurant.
Don’t look at how Su Xinyu only went to the back door of the Li family to deliver a few boxes of exquisite snacks, saying it was to congratulate Big Brother Li. But the Li family actually sent an invitation, inviting Young Master Su Family and Madam Ling over. They said that the Li family invited them to a gathering to witness the commotion.
Just before, when Su Wenlan was rushing on his way, he had heard a few plays in the opera house and teahouse. She did like it, but she was very reserved when she sat down with the ladies of rich families to watch the show.
Aunt Zhang knew that his wife was a timid woman who had never seen the world. “At this point, she, who had once been the wife of an old lady from the Shangguan family, would be of great use.” Madame, you don’t have to be so nervous. Both of them had their eyes, nose and mouth, neither of them could eat the other. What’s more, you are an important guest, who would dare to say anything about you? Besides, with your looks, Madam, I have not seen anything better in years. “You usually don’t dress up, but tomorrow I will dress you up properly so that those people will definitely be envious.”
Su Wenlan felt embarrassed from the praise. But because their lives had stabilized recently and they had a few more servants at home, Su Wenlan and Su Xinyu did not continue wiping the yellow medicinal powder. The people around them all just treated them as mother and son living a good life, and their skin as well. Right now, this Madam Su Family was the prettiest girl on the whole street. If not for the fact that that servant was a beat up, and the fact that he had a powerful Young Master in his body, he would have known the Shangguan Family. This orphans and widows, who knows how they could have bullied him.
Su Xinyu also heard the Aunt Zhang’s words from outside the door. She also remembered that her mother did not actually purchase any jewelry for her. There were a lot of good things left behind by the ancestor in this space, but because it was so good, neither of them dared to take it out. However, going to the Li family’s meeting tomorrow was no ordinary matter. The Lee family must have invited all the famous families in the city. If mother was too shabby, she would definitely be looked down upon. She wasn’t trying to compare herself to someone else. However, when a person lives in a crowd, there will always be a difference in status. Some people always had too many schemes in their hearts. Although she did not wish for her mother to make a name for herself, she also did not wish for others to look down on her.
Therefore, Su Xinyu returned to the space and after choosing for a long time, she finally picked a set of pretty good white jade jewelry. White jade hairpin carving is a plum blossom, earrings are the same style of plum blossom. However, there were a few more small beads on the ground. They looked like water drops that had fallen from a plum blossom. The women here wear more collars than they are married to, while married women rarely wear necklaces. However, it would depend on whether the person was rich or not. If he had the money, he could bring as much as he wanted. But Su Xinyu did not want to burden his mother with her attire. It was fine if she did not have a necklace, he had a white jade bracelet that was similar to her. Don’t look at the bracelet is plain, not a trace of carvings. But it was also the work of a master, and it glowed in the light, no less than jade. Naturally, the value of this set of Heavenly White Jade was not much less than that of the emerald set. However, she seemed more reserved than Cui. It was a temperament very suitable for Su Wenlan.
She saw the box of jewelry that her daughter had brought him. Su Wenlan knew exactly where it came from. Xinyu, how can this be? “It’s too valuable.”
Aunt Zhang was someone who knew her stuff. “This set of jewelry …” She immediately opened her eyes wide. My goodness. This was the highest grade of Qingtian White Jade! I’ve only seen one hairpin in my life. Young Master, where did you get this! ”
Su Xinyu never thought that there would be a place similar to He Tian, which seemed to be very valuable. This was a mistake on her part, but since she had already taken it out, there was no reason for her to take it back. This is our family. “I was thinking, tomorrow, my mother will go to the meeting. Unlike before, when we went to the banquet, I still have to dress up.”
Aunt Zhang nodded her head repeatedly: “Yes, that’s right. “Madam, don’t worry. Tomorrow, I will make you the most suitable bun. I guarantee that you won’t try to steal the limelight, and that those people won’t dare to look down on you.”
Su Xinyu was satisfied. That’s what I thought too. Aunt Zhang, sorry to trouble you. ”
Aunt Zhang laughed and waved her hand, “Aiyo, my young master. There’s no need to thank us servants for this. Isn’t that what we should be doing? “Madam, if you don’t, I’ll do it now. I’ll let you try it.”
Su Wenlan looked at her daughter, and seeing her nod her head, she did not say anything else. After all, she knew. At this moment, she could no longer say no.
The next morning. Su Xinyu asked Hu Ya to go to the soy sauce factory to watch everyone make soy sauce, while she followed her mother and brought Su Mei and Aunt Zhang to the Li family.
The Li family had changed its residence. It was now the home of the Prefect. It couldn’t be said that the attitude of the Li family members hadn’t changed. At the very least, the attitude of the servants were slightly different. However, they knew that Su Family was a great benefactor to their fourth young mistress, and it had something to do with General Mansion. He did not have any bad attitude towards them, but even so, Su Xinyu frowned.
Fortunately, their family was welcomed by Li Baoshan, and after the servant brought Su Wenlan and Aunt Zhang to the back, Wu Zhulian welcomed them. Su Xinyu followed Li Baoshan and entered the eastern courtyard.
“Fourth Brother, where are you bringing me to?” The living room would be in the main courtyard, and there must be something wrong with her being brought here alone.
Li Baoshan laughed and said: “All the brothers at home are here. His big brother and father were there as well. They told me to take you, so I wouldn’t have to waste my time talking to those people. Ever since his eldest brother had become a Prefect, a group of people who were unable to get close to him came over to befriend him. They all know that we have a good relationship with each other, and that’s just to prevent you from getting into trouble with them. ”
Su Xinyu knew that the Li Family members had good intentions, and truly treated her as one of their own. However, because the other party was so considerate, she had no choice but to say something. Fourth Brother, I originally wasn’t too suitable to say this, but if I don’t say it in my eyes, in the future, if there really is anything from this point onwards, I will feel very bad. ”
“Li Baoshan was stunned by Su Xinyu’s tone. What’s wrong? What else do we brothers have to say to each other? Just talk to your big brother. ”
Su Xinyu sighed: “I know that big brother’s honor is great. I was happy too. I also know how to lift my breath when the servants at home hit me on the waist. But in the end, his elder brother had just been promoted to the next level. If they were to change their attitude now, it would probably not be good for him either. And I heard from my cousin that the situation in the court is unstable, and many things are unknown. Who knows what the future holds for those they have offended? In this eventful time, it’s best to be cautious. ”
“After hearing what Su Xinyu said, Li Baoshan immediately understood. Did that blind servant offend you? I’m telling you, Fourth Brother, that I’ll make the decision for you! ”
Su Xinyu laughed as she shook her head, “I never did. They were very respectful to me. Besides, even if you offend me, it’s nothing. I’m worried that they might offend someone else. I didn’t think of my brother as an outsider, so I dared to say that. Otherwise, how can I say something that offends others? ”
Li Baoshan nodded: “I understand brother. This is an important matter. I won’t hide it from you. This official came down too weirdly. My family is also confused. Before I could tell my family to be careful, my brother carefully reminded us. In a little while, I will have someone give orders to be careful. Little brother, big brother will thank you here first! ” As he spoke, he bent down to pay his respects.
Su Xinyu did not know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly went to support his arm. Aiyo, my Fourth Brother. You are going to kill me. You said it already, we are not outsiders, so why are you being so courteous? If you continue to be like this, I won’t dare to speak anymore. ”
Li Baoshan laughed loudly: “It’s me, Big Brother, who is too pedantic. Fine, I’ll listen to my younger brother. Let’s go. Get inside. It just so happens that Big Brother has something to discuss with you. ”
Su Xinyu was startled. “What does the new Prefect have to say to me?” Fourth Brother, do you know what brother wants to tell me? ”
Li Baoshan shook his head, “I really don’t know about that. However, my guess is that it has something to do with another secret decree. Alas, not only did the imperial court give his eldest brother an official, it also gave him an order. He said that he had to pay an additional two hundred thousand taels of Snowflake Silver a year. Actually, this is not a good thing at all. This is a huge problem! “
