"Let me go! I don't know you! Which home are you going to?"
Su Tiying waved her arms and sleeves and shouted at the people who were chasing after her, while her feet kept moving up the stairs.
The one who was flung back by her sleeves and kept holding on to the railing to climb up was Su Ruihuan, the youngest daughter of the Su family, Miss Su San.
They originally came to participate in the Yichun Ju elegant gathering, but it turned out that his second brother, who was ignorant and unskilled, wanted to fight with some grasshoppers, which made them slow down and missed the flower boat.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Su Tiying holding a lantern, accompanied by two maids. Once she got close to the princess, she flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix. She only knew that Su Tiying was frightened and was still angry.
He said, fortunately, I didn’t have to go to the Qianqiu Banquet when I went back to see my grandmother last time...
Thinking about it, she rushed forward and grabbed the lantern in her hand. Su Tiying was really crazy. She was talking nonsense, turned around and was about to run up, so she chased after her.
"I thought what my brother said was false, but I didn't expect that you are really crazy!"
"Yes! I'm just crazy! What's wrong? What do you want to do!"
"Father ordered me to take you back. You are going to get married soon. Are you pretending to be crazy and trying to escape from the marriage?"
"Father? Father, how big are you!" Su Tiying turned around, lifted up her skirt, raised her foot and kicked her, just like the trafficker arresting people, it's hateful, why is it so...
Su Ruihuan was kicked so hard that she clutched the railing and unconsciously went limp. She almost cried in pain. Su Tiying, who was usually submissive and could not hold back a word, actually dared to kick her. She stuttered and shouted: "
You! You are disobedient to your elders! I know, you... just want to escape from marriage!"
Su Tiying turned around, looked at her condescendingly with her hands on her hips and said, "Escape from marriage? Ugh, that's ridiculous. I wish I could leave you as soon as possible!"
Su Ruihuan, who was dizzy with anger, got up, pointed at Su Tiying and cursed: "Don't forget, even if you get married, your mother is a member of the Su family in life, and a ghost of the Su family in death! You two, mother and daughter,
No one can escape!"
Su Tiying hesitated and sneered. This old routine that has not changed for hundreds of years is retarded. He said disdainfully: "Where am I going to marry? Where is my mother going? What the hell are you doing! What's wrong? Are you jealous? You want to get married again?
?Come, come, this blessing is for you! You marry, you marry!"
Su Ruihuan pursed her lips and burst into tears, "You...you are arrogant! You just climbed up to become the princess..."
Su Tiying didn't hesitate at all and affirmed: "Yes, I just climbed up. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What's wrong?"
With that said, Su Ruihuan exerted all her strength, grabbed her skirt and rushed forward.
When Su Tiying saw this, she immediately turned around and ran. She turned a corner and saw Chu Shou and the painter on the boat. She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran behind her, shouting: "Princess! Please save me quickly."
Me! I don’t know her!”
Chu Shou was in Luo Qi's "Treat someone's body in his own way." He was stunned when he saw Su Tiying's cheeks running red. Before he could react, another panting person ran up from the other side.
Woman, holding her little lantern in her hand.
Behind him were Sanqian and Ah Shui, both of whom were carrying the lantern. Sanqian frowned and snatched the lantern from the woman's hand, and the two of them hurriedly stood beside Chu Shou.
Chu Shou asked in confusion: "What happened?"
When Su Ruihuan saw Chu Shou, she immediately showed timidity and took a few steps back while touching the wall.
Su Tiying hid behind her and complained: "This man is sick! He kept dragging me and insisted on taking me home..."
Chu Shou took a few steps forward, raised his arms to his chest, looked at the woman up and down, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Su Ruihuan did not dare to raise her head, but timidly moved two steps, bowed stiffly and said: "My little girl Su Ruihuan of the Su family, I am specially ordered by my father to take her home."
Chu Shou lowered his eyes and thought, this must be the daughter of the second wife of the Su family, Mrs.
She shook her head helplessly. She finally caught an example in the book and had to study it again...
Chu Shou raised his hand to signal her to get up, and then he took two steps forward and said slowly: "Go home? She is a guest of my princess. How could Miss Su San forcefully take her without asking her?"
Where is the person leaving?"
Su Ruihuan lost the momentum she had just now. Princess Rukawa was the richest man in Kyoto City, and she had a good reputation based on her family background and title of princess.
"I……"
Just when she was hesitant to say something, a calm voice came from behind her, instantly telling her to straighten her back.
"She is the daughter of my Su family. Even if the princess wants to take her to have fun for a few days on a whim, she has to ask my Su family's intention."
Su Wen Ning stiffened her neck, her eyes wide open, and walked forward slowly from behind, followed by several elderly housekeepers with fierce eyebrows and evil eyes.
The corners of Chu Shou's lips raised, and he snorted coldly: "Oh? This is the person your brother begged me to accept."
Su Wenning smiled slightly, hiding a knife in her smile, and continued: "The family has found a good doctor for her, so I won't bother the princess. The princess's medical skills... seem to be unsatisfactory. I'm afraid she can't cure her madness.
…”
Luo Qi, who was standing aside with his hands folded, watched with interest, with a smile in his eyes, and said lightly: "Miss Su is famous for her good temper in Kyoto. Looking from left to right, she is even more majestic than the mistress of the house."
Su Wenning is not young but she still hasn't asked about her marriage. Those who know say she is very affectionate, but those who don't know are inevitably criticized.
Luo Qi was used to being around women, so he knew a little bit about the temperament and romantic affairs of any young lady.
Everyone knew that Su Wenning was devoted to the son of the Gu family who guarded the frontier, but Gu Chengye and Chu Shou were already engaged. Regardless of the life-saving relationship, an engagement was just an engagement, but Su Wening couldn't be more in love with her.
However, that good temper was of course an irony, and the majesty of the mistress of the house was also irony, with every sentence piercing Su Wen Ning's lungs.
It was not that Su Wenning had not heard of the rumors over the years, and she naturally understood the implication of Luo Qi's words. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and before her anger could turn into anger, her eyes became cold and cold, and she said: "You... are just a small country.
Proton, by living among women, has become so sharp-tongued, and it is not his turn to preach to me."
Luo Qi smiled, as if her words were an affirmation and recognition of him, without any waves.
Chu Shou frowned. She didn't know what Luo Qi was like. Whether he was romantic or sentimental, it had nothing to do with her.
On the other hand, it seemed that Su Wenning had been grudged against herself for a long time.
They originally went to a private school in Gu's house, and their second uncle, who was well-read in poetry and literature, was their teacher. Basically, all the school-age children who were about the same age and had good friendships were studying there.
She had just arrived in Kyoto a few years ago, but it was also after the tower was haunted. Although she was somewhat restrained, she couldn't change her ways in the mountains. She did become a bit noisy, and she was late to enlighten about love and the like.
At that time, she thought that Su Wenning and others were malicious to her because she spoke loudly and behaved rudely, so within a few months she begged her old general to hire a teacher.
Unexpectedly, the old man found another way and invited Weichou, the head of Dali Temple. The master who had tried to protect her had no contact with her since then except for attending banquets and gatherings.
Later, in order to save the Gu family, she made a marriage contract, and rumors spread to her ears in Kyoto. All Su Wenning's actions that made things difficult for her had reasonable explanations...
She couldn't love her, and was interfered with by herself. She felt guilty because of her slowness, but the basis of love is knowing what is right and wrong, not to mention that even if there is an engagement... she will not actually get married.
, she repeatedly pulled her and refused to let go, and her Chu Shou’s head was not made of dough...
"I thought you had a pretty straightforward temper. Are you trying to make things difficult for her or me?"
Chu Shou pointed at Su Wenning and then at himself, and asked with wide eyes.
Su Wenning took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and pointed to Luo Qi aside: "You? You are already engaged, and you are still entangled with him..."
Chu Shou sneered, understanding in his heart.
"Ah - after all, it's still a matter of engagement, so I'll make it clear to you here today. It's your business if you like him, and it's my business if I save him. You keep talking about the Su family's power
Da, why didn't you save me back then? Don't tell me that you didn't mean what you said or that you had no choice. He was protected by the Chu family. If you had the ability, you would be the one engaged to him today, but you didn't. That's the fact.
"
"It's true that I want to save him. I don't know what position you stand on to make things difficult for me again and again... I'm going to poke your pain points today. As far as I know, he's afraid that he'll even have you..."
I don’t even know the friendship between them.”
Su Wenning lowered her eyes, tears rolling down her face. Su Ruihuan saw this, but she didn't dare to get close. She knew that this matter was a pain point for her eldest sister, and even her father had a problem with her because of this matter, so she had been cautious.
Chu Shou looked at her tears, sneered, and continued: "Su Wenning, you have a thousand or ten thousand opportunities to take the initiative, but you don't dare. Now it's useless. What are you acting? A script.
The tragic heroine in the movie who is unable to fall in love? What have you done for him? Huh? What qualifications do you have to rush over and accuse me."
"What have you always been afraid of? If I were you, no matter how difficult it is, I would definitely chase him to the north and ask him what Gu Chengye's feelings are..."
The stage was still singing babblingly, and from time to time there were the sounds of applause and regret from the people in the audience.
The lyrics say:
[The city is filled with spring scenery and willows on the palace walls. I hate not to meet each other. After a few years of separation, I can only feel sad about autumn, sad about autumn...]
Chu Shou frowned and didn't want to say anything anymore. He turned around and pulled Su Tiying over, passing by Su Wenning who was stunned on the spot. He paused and whispered: "If you come to me for this matter again in the future, won't you?"
I'm glad, I will definitely not talk nonsense with you again."
After that, he went downstairs, and Ah Shui and Sanqian quickly followed. Only Luo Qi leaned on the railing, smiled disgustingly, and clapped his hands. It was really better than a show.
The passers-by pretending to borrow money, pretending to come and go, pretending to hold on to the railings to watch the show, and pretending to cheer all dispersed...
It is true that there are many people and there is excitement, and it is even more true that there are many things to do when there are many people. Soon the "calm" bustle of Yichunju was broken.
Unexpectedly, more than a dozen people poured in from outside. Everyone was wearing linen shorts and holding all kinds of handy things in their hands. Some had scars on their faces, and some had pockmarks on their faces. All in all, they all looked fierce.
Everyone's attention was quickly attracted, and the sound of playing and singing in the background suddenly stopped.
Then a man in black walked in. He was taller than an ordinary person, with strong features but gloomy eyes. There was a slender scar on the left eyebrow bone and thin lips. He stepped on the ground forcefully step by step, like a black man lurking in the wasteland. The leopard stares straight at its prey, ready to attack.
After Fang finished arranging Song Yanqing, Shen Yi and his Thirteenth Niang heard the movement and immediately came out to welcome him. With her red lips parted, she said teasingly: "Hey! Master Lu! What a rare visitor!"
The man called Master Zheng is Lu Xiaonian, the second son of Lu Maodian, the richest merchant in Kyoto. His family's jade business is famous all over the world. Everyone calls him Master Zheng. He is a famous dandy in Kyoto.
Later, when he was too old to join the officialdom, he did not engage in serious business and lived in the black and white circles. He worked for Zi Qian's family and raised many thugs to lend money and collect debts. Whenever he went out, there were always many people behind him. In Kyoto, To a certain extent, you can walk sideways...
He pulled a chair casually, turned it around, sat down facing the interior of Yichun House, crossed his legs, held a piece of paper between his hands, and said in a low voice: "Historical Records? You are really bold..."
"Now His Majesty wants the whole country to abandon the dirty wind. Are you impatient? How dare you!"
After that, he threw the piece of paper at his feet and looked at everyone with disdain: "It's a big deal! It's fun! It's fun! It's such a joke. His grandma will be doomed sooner or later."
Everyone knew that Lu Xiaonian's evil deeds and bad temper were not something they could offend. They clenched their fists but dared not speak out in anger.
When Chu Shou came downstairs, he saw that this man had bad moral character. Who is he? Why has he not made any progress in five years, but instead he has become worse and more domineering? What is the most important thing about the witch clan?
Seeing that Chu Shou's disgust was palpable, Su Tiying hurriedly winked at Ah Shui and Sanqian, grabbed her tightly and persuaded her: "I know you are in a bad mood today, but this person is not easy to mess with at first glance. He drank too much. Just have a good sleep, let's go home and vent our anger, don't go up there..."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Shou appeared in everyone's field of vision. She also pulled up a chair and dragged it in front of Lu Xiaonian. She crossed her legs, put her hands on her knees, and spoke like a green forest hero. Said: "I thought some heavenly king flew out of nowhere, Lu... Lu Xiaonian, your temper has not changed at all!"
Su Tiying squatted behind, observing and observing again, and finally said: "He is finished. Although he has a villain's face, he is still clear-headed, facing a drunkard..."
"Um?!"
Ah Shui Sanqian was lying on the railing furtively, raising his eyebrows in surprise.
"Oh no, I'm sorry. Facing a drunk... drunk woman who is in a bad mood, he is going to shoot her!"
When he saw Cheng Yaojin who had come out halfway, Lu Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, then raised his brows, narrowed his eyes in surprise and asked:
