Chapter 111
The next morning, the two woke up early.Su Jin cooked a pot of thick millet porridge, and steamed small flower rolls and a large bowl of custard on the curtain above.Then cut a plate of sauced pork liver, mixed with melon strips, the family had a simple, yet nutritious breakfast, and were ready to send the two brothers to school.

Gu Chen looked at his daughter-in-law who had been busy all this time, and couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his arms. "Jin'er, don't be busy, stay at home obediently, and wait for me to come back." "Yeah!" Seeing the shy daughter-in-law snuggled up in his arms, Gu Chen succeeded in generously "stealing fragrance".With a smug smile in the daughter-in-law's reproachful eyes, she strode out the door.

Su Jin hurried out of the room and told Liu Lang to come back at noon to get the food box. "Understood, sister-in-law, don't worry!"

It wasn't until the azure figure disappeared at the gate that Su Jin turned around and fastened the courtyard gate.Clean up the kitchen (the east wing) briefly, and sit in the east wing with Mianmian to talk.Ask her and Dafu, are they still used to sleeping here last night?
The continuous answer was within Su Jin's expectations.The aunt and sister-in-law were talking while doing needlework.

Just after the hour passed, someone knocked on the door. Su Jin went to open the door, guessing that it was Aunt Wang who had come to work.

Aunt Wang is also a down-to-earth person, she just looks for work when she comes in. "Auntie, don't be too busy, let's talk here."

Seeing that the master's house does not allow work, Aunt Wang is a little uneasy.Looking at the embarrassed Aunt Wang, Su Jin knew that she had misunderstood, so she gave her a comforting look, and then said:
"Auntie, is there any convenient place to buy vegetables near us?"

Aunt Wang was relieved when she heard Su Jin's question. "It's very convenient to buy vegetables in our neighborhood, but we have to catch up early. There is an early-rising market near the root of the south wall. Every day when the city gate opens, those people come and leave when they sell out. Usually they come from the seaside , there are more fish sellers. They came here in the middle of the night, just in time for the opening of the city gate at dawn. If they come here again, they will leave when they sell out.”

Su Jin heard that this kind of morning market is still very good. "Auntie, is there anyone still doing business at this hour?"

"Yes, they usually don't leave the market until the end of the hour."

"That's great, let's go and have a look too." Instructing Hao Mianmian to take Dafu to watch the house, Su Jin was about to go out, looking back at Aunt Wang who didn't keep up, very surprised.

"Auntie, why don't you go!" "Miss Su, let's go back to the house and change clothes!"

Su Jin lowered her head and looked at herself, this rose-red long dress, suddenly realized a little embarrassedly.

"Auntie, wait a minute, I'll come as soon as I go." After saying that, she walked into the room and came out after a while. She had already changed into a half-worn, lotus-colored slanted jacket, and a dark green coarse cloth skirt.

Standing softly in front of Aunt Wang, "Auntie, this dress should work!"

Aunt Wang couldn't help but praise sincerely, "Miss Su, she looks neat and fair, and she looks so good-looking in whatever clothes she wears."

Auntie's words made Su Jin dumbfounded, it sounded like it was not suitable for her to go out.However, my family will live here permanently in the future, and I don't know where the vegetable market will be!
Seeing Su Jin's hesitation, Aunt Wang went on to say: "Miss Su, don't worry, the people in our neighborhood know everything, and most of them are simple and honest. So don't be afraid, Mistress Su!"

After hearing Aunt Wang's words, Su Jin felt a little relieved.Instruct Mianmian to fasten the gate of the courtyard, and never open the door when called by strangers.After asking several times, I went out with my aunt.

After leaving the courtyard gate, along the North-South Road, and walking two streets forward, I could smell the fishy smell of the sea from a distance.Even the high city wall seems to be not far away.

Going forward for another street, the aunt took her to turn left again, and saw a large open space under the majestic city wall. Man, still busy trading.

At this time, it may be near the end of the scattered market, so the flow of people is not crowded.Su Jin followed behind Aunt Wang, carefully looking at the goods for sale on both sides of the aisle.

Really, as Aunt Wang said, there are many people who sell seafood, and occasionally one or two people buy vegetables and other items.

Suddenly, Su Jin's eyes stopped on a basket of small fish, to be precise, it was yellow croaker.Aunt Wang has been observing Su Jin's movements.Seeing Mrs. Su kept looking at the basket of fresh fish, she walked over and asked. "Young man, how did you sell this little yellow croaker!"

"Eight coins!" "Young man, the market is going to be scattered, so let's make it cheaper!" It seems that Aunt Wang often comes here to buy things, and when it comes to talking about prices, she is not ambiguous at all.Su Jin, a modern person, is really ashamed of herself.Within a moment, it was reduced to six coins.

This price is already very good, Su Jin took out copper coins and bought five catties.After all, this place is crowded with people. After buying what she wanted, Su Jin was ready to go back. After telling Aunt Wang, the two turned around and walked back.

It was about to turn a corner, and a few young people were walking towards them. They were all wearing hats, shirts, and boots, with a waist knife on their shoulders.

Seeing Aunt Wang carrying the basket, she greeted her.

"Auntie, come to buy food!"

"Yes! You are patrolling the streets, Duhu!"

"Yes! Auntie has gone back?" The young man glanced inadvertently as he spoke, and saw Su Jin walking beside Aunt Wang.Not only he saw it, but also several colleagues beside him, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"This beautiful little lady, why haven't I seen it before?"

Su Jin didn't know how to answer the stranger's question, but Aunt Wang replied on Su Jin's behalf, "This is Mrs. Su who moved in yesterday."

After hearing Aunt Wang's explanation, everyone wailed in their hearts.Because they knew that household, it was said that they were a young couple who had just married.They also knew that the young lady of that family was the niece and niece of Su Caifeng, the number one shrew in Tuhe County.

This is too sad, I finally saw a beautiful woman in the jurisdiction, but the background is too tough and scary!
From their conversation and clothing, Su Jin has already judged that these young people are official servants. This is also the first time Su Jin has seen ancient official servants.Judging from their appearance, they are not as vicious as described in previous books or some film and television dramas.

The officials in front of them looked more like a group of energetic young people shopping in uniforms.

Aunt Wang said goodbye to them without chatting with them. Su Jin also lowered her eyelids and nodded slightly, which was a complete salute.

When they passed each other, the young man in the lead was still unscrupulously looking at him from a close distance.Su Jin pretended not to know, but quickened her pace.

Finally, after getting out of the sight of those officials, Su Jin felt at ease.After secretly chanting "Amitabha!", try not to go out if you can.
