The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

Sunlight streamed into the front hall through the carved window lattices, illuminating everyone's different expressions.

Su Lin, Su Shiming and Su Tianjie had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the old lady and her group arriving, the three of them hurriedly stood up and greeted them.

The golden nanmu Eight Immortals Table is filled with all kinds of delicacies, exuding an enticing aroma.

Everyone took their seats one by one. Old Madam Su sat at the front seat opposite the door, exuding her majesty. Su Lin sat on the left, Su Shijie and Wu sat on the right, and the rest of the people also sat in an orderly manner.

Although the Su family is a scholarly family, the old lady and Su's father are relatively easy-going in private, and today is a family dinner, so there are not so many rules.

The group began to eat, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At the dinner, Su's father asked Su Shiming how long he would stay in Beijing this time.

Su Shiming laughed ingratiatingly and said, "My family has been doing well in the past two years. I came to Beijing this time to develop my business and settle down there. Jie'er will take the imperial examination next year, so he should come to Beijing in advance to prepare for it."

In his early years, Su Zhi married the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jiangzhou, who was very wealthy.

After the death of his eldest son, Su Zhi, the family business was taken over by Su Shiming. However, Su Shiming was not good at business and was extravagant and spent money lavishly. Now the second branch of the Su family was no longer as prosperous as before. He thought of coming to Beijing to seek refuge with Su Taifu and use his name to do some business to gain some benefits.

Mrs. Wu also nodded and laughed.

"Yes, my elder brother's brother Yan Zhou is now a Hanlin scholar and works in the Imperial College. Jie'er admires his cousin very much!"

Wu paused, then smiled and said, "I heard that the talents and knowledge of the teachers in the Imperial College are far superior to those in other schools. If Jie'er could listen to the teachers' teachings, then he would be able to pass the imperial examination in no time."

The Imperial Academy was the highest institution of learning in Tianjin, and it was teeming with talent. Half of the successful candidates in the imperial examinations each year came from the academy, and only those who could enter were selected after passing numerous examinations.

Su Yuejian was eating the Eight Treasure Duck in the bowl, and she already understood their intention.

The Imperial College's spring recruitment is coming soon. This year, the Imperial College's spring recruitment is fully responsible for the fathers and brothers, and the Crown Prince is supervising. This is to encourage fathers and brothers to help their sons enter the Imperial College.

She pretended to be calm and glanced at Su Tianjie quickly.

Su Tianjie was fat and big-eared, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he was eating shark fin with great relish, his mouth full of oil. He looked shifty and had a lewd look on his face.

Su's father had been in the court for many years and was familiar with all these twists and turns. However, he was an upright official and hated favoritism and corruption.

He said sternly, "There are many well-educated teachers in schools all over the world, not just in the Imperial College. If a genius has real talent and knowledge, he will have a place in the Imperial College."

Su Shiming glanced at Wu, who immediately smiled apologetically and said, "That's right, big brother."

The old lady naturally understood what the couple was planning. Although she was unhappy, she did not show it.

He said calmly, "What kind of business do you and your wife want to start? Do you have any interest in the house?"

Su Shiming took a sip of wine and said, "I came here in a hurry and am not very familiar with Kyoto yet. I think I need to investigate for a while first."

Father Su nodded upon hearing this.

He has always valued the affection between brothers and sisters. Although Su Shiming was born to a concubine, he is still a member of the Su family bloodline after all.

"In that case, you can stay in the mansion first, and move to a new house later."

Su Shiming smiled with wrinkles on his face and nodded in thanks.

Su Xiaoshi was extremely happy. Along the way, she saw the prosperity of Kyoto. The Su Mansion was magnificent and luxurious everywhere. It was many times better than the old and dilapidated house in Jiangling.

This time when she comes to Beijing, she must seize the opportunity to show her charm. Maybe she can even meet a nobleman and become rich and powerful.

"Yue'er, please arrange for my uncle and the others to stay."

Su Yuejian nodded in agreement.

Su Shiming and Wu were both surprised.

Su Xuewei felt resentful, but she knew that she could no longer make Su's father and the old lady angry, and she had to restore her image in front of them.

Seeing Wu's confusion, she smiled and praised, "Sister Yue is now in charge of the household. Aunt, don't underestimate Sister Yue because she is smart and capable. She manages everything in an orderly and safe manner. She is much better than Aunt."

The old lady's expression softened considerably when she heard her say this.

Father Su also nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that he had indeed grown a lot and become more sensible in recent days.

Mrs. Wu smiled and nodded in response, and continued to praise Su Yuejian for a lot of words.

Su Xiaoshi muttered in her heart, isn't she just an adopted orphan, how can she be the head of the family? An outsider, this Taifu and the old lady must be confused.

After lunch, the old lady had the habit of taking a nap and returned to Rong'an Hall early.

Father Su had official business to attend to and had to go to the palace, so before leaving he asked the servant to prepare a carriage so that they could go around Kyoto in the afternoon.

Su Yuejian immediately sent servants to clean up several courtyards.

Su Shiming and his wife lived in Wanxiangtang, and Su Tianjie lived in Chunliuju.

Qionghua Pavilion was large and spacious, and Su Yuejian arranged for the three sisters to live together so they could look after each other. However, Su Xiaoshi insisted that she was not used to living with others and insisted on having the place all to herself, and kicked them out.

Su Caner and Su Wan were unable to argue, so they had to go to Su Yuejian again for help.

The Qiu Shui Xuan next to the Qionghua Pavilion is still under renovation, and only the Dan Gui Xuan closest to the Wutong Residence remains. Although it is smaller than the Qionghua Pavilion, it is more elegant.

The two sisters were gentle in nature, unlike Su Xiaoshi who was so spoiled. After thanking Su Yuejian, they moved into Danguixuan.

Su Shiming and his group went out to travel around Kyoto in the afternoon, and it was almost midnight when they returned.

Su Yanzhou did not see them when he came back. He was busy with the spring recruitment recently and had been leaving early and returning late.

But he had already heard what Wu said at the dinner today from Mo Wei, the servant beside him.

He already had an idea in mind, so he avoided them in the mansion until the spring recruitment was over.

The night was silent and still. The lights in the mansion gradually went out.

Silent all night.
