Chapter 287: Eating alone?
The morning light shines into Su Jinyue's bedroom through the carved window lattices.
In the brocade tent, Su Jinyue yawned and slowly woke up. The maid Tan had already brought in warm water quietly, ready to help Su Jinyue wash up.
"Yue'er, my beloved asked me to give you this list. Do you want to see it?"
The gentle voice of the aunt came from outside the door. She was bringing people to deliver breakfast to Su Jinyue, and also brought information about the companies that had cooperated with them in the wine and beverage business.
Su Jinyue sat up from the bed and walked to the dressing table to have the maid Tan do her makeup. She reached out to take the list and unfolded it to take a closer look.
On the list, every household, relationship, and amount of goods purchased were clearly written down, making it easy to see at a glance.
Su Jinyue frowned slightly and read the information carefully.
Most of these people are descendants of aristocratic families from all over the country, and the forces behind them are complicated and need to be treated with caution.
Especially on the first page, Uncle Su specially marked the Li family.
It turned out to be the old Korean noble family where his biological father was.
Although her father is dead, her grandfather is still alive.
The aunt had been paying attention to Su Jinyue's movements. Seeing that her eyes were fixed on the first page, the aunt went over to watch with her so that she could explain.
However, when she saw the words "Li Family" on the list, her heart skipped a beat.
The eldest aunt carefully observed Su Jinyue's expression. Seeing that she was just frowning in thought, she calmed down a little and smiled, saying, "The Li family now has three branches, each of which manages the liquor business in the three eastern counties. In the past year, they have made the most money of everyone. Their family courtyard was specially renovated a few years ago, and it is not much different from ours..."
Su Jinyue's eyes flickered. She still remembered the cup of poisoned wine.
She has no intention of recognizing the Li family as her relative.
So, she pretended to be indifferent and turned the page, but her tone was filled with displeasure: "Why is it that his family is the only one that has taken over the business of the three counties for nothing? Just treat them the same as everyone else."
Hearing this, my aunt's eyes immediately brightened up a bit, and she kept agreeing, "Okay, I'll talk to my husband about it at noon. Don't make another exception this year."
Su Jinyue nodded, closed the roster and put it aside.
Just at this time, the lady Tan had finished combing her hair and makeup, and the group got up and went to the dining table in the outer room.
"Mother, you should sit down too and accompany me for some more."
"Hey, okay, come here from me."
The two sat down and began to enjoy their delicious breakfast.
Thanks to the prosperity of Yingchuan County, the breakfast here is very varied. Some of the foods were tried by Su Jinyue for the first time. She was so excited about eating that she ate too much, which caused her to burp constantly.
"Hey... this is delicious... let the chefs... hey... learn how to make this."
"Is Thirteen there? And Father and the others... hiccup~"
Shi Nu Dan brought a cup of warm water to Su Jinyue and patted her back carefully, "Master, drink the warm water and you will feel better."
"Hurr~Okay..."
The eldest aunt amusedly picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, hiding the corners of her mouth that were curled up. She smiled kindly and advised softly: "Yue'er, drink some medicine to help digestion later. Hiccups like this will easily cause indigestion."
Su Jinyue nodded silently, closed her mouth tightly, and tried hard to control the urge to burp.
Finally, after drinking a bowl of hawthorn water, Su Jinyue's hiccups symptoms improved.
She pointed at the list and said to her aunt, "There's no need to meet those people. Just let Grandfather and the others handle it."
"promise."
The aunt smiled with relief. That group of people was so bold that they actually wanted to bypass their Su family and go directly to the National Master. What a pipe dream!
Yue'er is their own daughter, how could she follow their plan!
Humph, she has never been able to get around them since she was a mother.
And the Li family, do they really think that they can control the national teacher just because of blood relationship?
In the past, they were still cautious and made an exception for his family by giving him two more counties. But now, it is no longer possible.
The sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue.
After breakfast, Su Jinyue looked at the nice weather and planned to take a carriage for a stroll around Yingchuan County.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the wheels rolled on the cobblestone road, making a crisp sound.
Su Jinyue looked at the bustling crowd on the street through the car window, and happily directed her servants to buy some things from the roadside stalls.
In a spacious and beautifully decorated courtyard not far from the County Magistrate's Mansion, the atmosphere was completely different from the bustling outside.
This is the residence of Su Jinyue's biological father, the Li family. A heated discussion is taking place in the main hall of the Li family's residence.
When Su Jinyue's father passed away, Su Ji took the young Su Jinyue away, and no one in the Li family tried to stop them.
"She's just a girl, not a boy. If the Su family wants her, she can go." At that time, they were full of contempt for Su Jinyue.
But who could have expected that Su Ji Er would later marry Ying Zheng, and Su Jinyue would also change her surname and become the Princess of Daqin.
Later, Han was defeated in the war and fell from the clouds, but the Su family rose again and became the guardian of this county.
Now, Su Jinyue has been appointed as the national teacher, holding a high position and great power.
All these developments were beyond the expectations of all of them.
Li Chong, the head of the Li family, had a solemn expression on his face. He sat upright in the main seat, glanced at everyone, and spoke slowly.
"Now that the fourth daughter has become a prominent figure, all families are eyeing this coveted commodity, trying to cling to her but failing to find the right path. Our Li family is her paternal clan, so it is only natural that we ask her for some help. We must contact her and let her help our Li family reach new heights."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Li Hou, the second master of the Li family, frowned and said, "But Xiao Si is so noble now, how can she be so easily approached? She must still be resentful of our attitude back then."
"Yeah, the Su family is determined to have the best of both worlds. I wonder what they're plotting against us behind our backs?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone frowned and was equally worried.
At this time, Li Chong's grandson Li Furong stood up. He raised his head confidently and said to everyone in the hall, "Grandfather, I have arranged for someone to be in the backyard of the Su family. As long as the fourth sister goes out, we will get the news immediately, and then I will go to the street to block her."
"Oh?"
Li Chong was overjoyed when he heard this. A glint of admiration flashed in his eyes as he looked at his grandson, "Fu Rong started planning this so early?"
He nodded with satisfaction. Even though they had made arrangements, he still felt extremely relieved that his grandson had thought of it in advance.
"Fu Rong is older and more thoughtful, so I'll leave this matter to you. Be sure to be careful and don't anger her."
"Okay, grandpa, just wait for good news from your grandson." Li Furong stood up and saluted, looking around at everyone in the hall with satisfaction, as if he was sure of victory.
Just at this moment, a servant hurriedly walked to the door of the hall, looking like he had something to go back for.
