Chapter 76 Eating hot pot together
When I got home at night, Ah Zhen came over and said, "The old lady said, the master is entertaining guests tonight, and everyone will eat in the small kitchen."

Zhao Ling'er then asked Su Yi Ning: "What shall we have for dinner tonight?
"Let's eat hot pot today. My brother and sister-in-law and I ate hot pot at your house that day. It feels so good to be surrounded by everyone."

Zhao Linger looked at it and said, "Okay, why don't we invite Ah Xin, Ah Zhen, Ah Ke, and Ah Wang to eat together."

"Huh? This... isn't it good?" Su Yi Ning hesitated.

"Oh, it's okay. Let's eat once in a while, and it won't damage your master-servant relationship. Besides, they have been with you for more than ten years, right? You already regard them as family members in your heart, don't you?"

Su Yi Ning thought for a while, and said: "Alright then, it's just that I've never had dinner with them, so I'm not used to it."

"It doesn't matter, you will get used to it after eating a few times. Ah Zhen, go and talk to Ah Xin and the others, we will have hot pot together in the kitchen at night."

Ah Zhen was a little confused, and asked, "Young Mistress, you mean... how many of us will eat hot pot with you and Young Master?"

Zhao Linger said: "That's right."

"Hmm...this...isn't it good." A-Zhen muttered.

"Oh, come here if you are called! It's okay, just have a meal together, don't be so restrained."

"Okay, I'll call them over."

Everyone finished cooking and sat around together.

The servants and Su Yi Ning were at a loss.

"Hey, where's our wine, Ah Zhen is going to get the wine." Zhao Linger said.

Ah Zhen took the wine and poured a glass for Su Yi Ning and Zhao Linger respectively.

"You pour it on yourselves, too."

Seeing that everyone had poured the wine, Zhao Linger raised the wine glass and said, "I haven't had dinner with you since I got married. It just snowed today, so it's very suitable to have hot pot together. Come, let's raise a glass together!"

"Wish us...wish us what?"

Zhao Linger looked at Su Yining.

Su Yi Ning shrugged, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."

"Then wish us all the best of luck and a long life!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Ling'er suddenly felt much warmer.

"The mutton is cooked, let's eat together!"

The servants were still a bit restrained, they dared not do anything until they saw Su Yi Ning and Zhao Ling'er pick up the mutton.

"Ah Xin, how many years have you been in the Su family?" Zhao Linger asked while eating.

Ah Xin looked at Su Yi Ning, and said: "I came to serve the young master when I was 7 years old, and now I am 16... I have been here for 9 years."

"7 years old? So young!" Zhao Linger asked in surprise.

"Actually, he grew up with me. His parents are my father's and my mother's personal servants." Su Yining said.

"Oh." Zhao Ling'er nodded, "Then you must know Su Yi Ning very well!"

Ah Xin nodded: "That's right."

"Did Su Yining do anything bad when he was a child?" Zhao Linger asked with a smirk.

Ah Xin thought for a while, and said: "I remember when the young master was six or seven years old, once I took him out to play, he carried the kite on his back, insisted that it was wings, and stood on the city wall and shouted, 'I want to fly. Hey, I'm going to fly!', I was about to jump off, which frightened me. It's not right to stand on the ground and wait, and it's not good to go back to find my wife. Fortunately, an adult passing by rushed up and hugged him from behind, otherwise My sin is great."

"Also, I remember that the young master helped him take a bath at night when he was a child, and he always splashed water so that we all got soaked!"

"Also, Madam taught him to read, but he refused to read and insisted on chasing cats and cats with us. In the end, Madam insisted that we led him into trouble, and punished us all to kneel in the yard all afternoon."

Zhao Ling'er looked at Su Yi Ning with a smile: "Haha, I didn't expect you to be so naughty when you were young!"

Su Yi Ning poured himself a glass of wine, and said to Ah Xin and the others: "I was ignorant when I was young, and I have troubled you all. I will punish myself with a glass of wine."

"Where."

"Don't dare."

Several people hurriedly stood up and had a drink with them.

Ah Xin said: "Actually, the young master still loves us very much. I remember that one winter, he picked up a sparrow that was about to freeze to death in the garden, and brought it into the house. Feed water and steamed buns. It's a pity that it died in the end, the young master cried for a long time!"

Zhao Ling'er looked at Su Yi Ning, Su Yi Ning was eating food with a blank face, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help wondering, the person Ah Xin was talking about was Su Yi Ning?
"Ah Xin, you are already 16 years old, have you ever thought about when you will marry a wife and have children?"

Ah Xin lowered her head in embarrassment, and said, "I...hehe, I don't know."

"Oh..." Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will keep this matter in mind. Waiting for you..."

Suddenly, A Yuan, the master's personal attendant, knocked on the door outside, asking Su Yi Ning and Zhao Ling Er to come over.

"What business is Dad looking for us at this late hour?" Zhao Ling'er muttered in a low voice.

Walking into the hall, Master Su smiled and introduced to the guests: "This is my dog ​​and daughter-in-law. This heated kang is their idea."

The man stood up and said: "Second Young Master is really smart! Once the kang is heated, the room will be much warmer. You see, I don't need to wear a robe in your house. I only need to wear an unlined garment. It's so much lighter!"

Zhao Ling'er said: "If the master doesn't dislike it, tomorrow my husband will send my servant to get one for your family too!"

"Oh really? That would be great!"

Su Yi Ning said: "You're welcome."

"Okay, back off."

"It's great, more and more people like my kang!" Zhao Linger said happily.

Back in the kitchen, Zhao Ling'er told Ah Xin what happened just now and asked Ah Xin: "Do you want to earn some extra money?"

When they heard about making money, they were all very happy and looked at Zhao Linger expectantly.

Zhao Linger said: "Since you have so much experience in building a heated kang, why don't you ask elder brother to set up a booth in the Yingbin Building, and if anyone wants to build a heated kang, I will send you there. One family charges 500 renminbi, what do you think?"

"500 Wen?" Ah Xin was both surprised and delighted: "Young Mistress says it's as much as you want, and we have no objections."

Zhao Linger said: "Let's try this first. If there is anything inappropriate, please report back in time, and we can adjust it at any time."

"Young Mistress, can you find us a job too? We also want to earn some extra money." Ah Zhen looked at Zhao Ling'er and whispered.

"Haha, well, there are plenty of opportunities, but I haven't thought of it yet, just wait a little longer."

The next day, Zhao Linger went to the study to get a booklet of the first ten chapters of "Journey to the West", and went to Wu Ma's house.

Wu Jianshen flipped through a few pages and wanted to read more. He didn't want Zhao Linger to wait too long, so he reluctantly closed the book and said, "Miss Linger, is this the book you're talking about? How can we cooperate?"

Zhao Linger said: "This booklet is selling well in our Yunzhou. If you are interested, I will supply it to you at a wholesale price. You can take the book to bookstores in other states to sell it. It's your profit."
