During July, there was no rain in Changping County for a whole month. Drought has already appeared in some areas. The rice in some rice fields has not yet fully matured. The tenant farmers can no longer restrain themselves from harvesting. They are afraid that if they don't harvest, there will be countless grains and all will die.
The scorching sun was hanging high, and the earth was like a steaming steamer. Looking from a distance, hot wolves were rising from the ground paved with blue bricks, and there were not many passers-by walking on the street.
In front of the vermilion door of Cao Mansion, a man wearing a gray shirt raised his head and looked at the door. A trace of envy and jealousy flashed in his eyes. But when he thought of his purpose, he snorted and straightened his chest.
Come forward and knock on the door.
Creaking, the heavy door slowly opened, and a man's head poked out. He looked at the visitor up and down and said, "For those selling things, go to the corner door on the West Street."
After saying that, he closed the door without waiting for the man to speak.
"Hey, I'm telling you, why are you closing the door? I'm not selling things, I'm here to find people." The visitor said eagerly.
"Do you still understand the rules? Find someone to go to the back door. When you exit the intersection, turn left and turn in. If you are not sensible, you can also come to this door?" The gatekeeper snorted in shame and slammed the door again.
The visitor was so angry that he spat a mouthful of phlegm on the door and said, "Damn, dogs are looking down on people." But he quickly walked to find the back door.
As soon as his figure disappeared, a carriage stopped in front of the door. A young boy jumped out and knocked on the door. When he saw the spit on the door, he was so sick that he almost vomited out his overnight meal.
The door was opened again, and the gatekeeper inside the door poked his head out with a curse and said: "They said that after looking for someone... Oops, is Brother An back?"
"Hurry up and open the door, the master is back." The boy called Brother An said, and then pointed to the mouth of phlegm beside the door and said: "Old Huang, how do you guard the door and let people treat this disgusting thing?"
Something was dumped on the door of the house."
When Lao Huang saw it, his face changed drastically. He kept saying his fault, but he was cursing in his heart. It must have been the fault of that mean-spirited bumpkin just now. Damn it, don't let him see him again, otherwise he will be beaten.
The concierge quickly removed the door sill, and the carriage drove into the house. Old Huang brought another bucket of water and a pig-hair brush, and while scrubbing the door, he scolded the man for eighteen generations.
Cao Kui had just had a cup of tea when he heard a boy come to report that a man claiming to be Miss Su's father had come to his door.
Cao Kui spit the tea back into the cup and asked, "Who did you say is here? What is his name?"
"The name is Su Hesheng, oh, Su Changsheng." The boy tilted his head and thought for a moment before speaking out.
Cao Kui also investigated the matter of Su Liu's family. Naturally, he knew that Su Changsheng was Su Liu's biological father. He also knew that Su Liu and the others hated this man. However, he and he were strangers, so he would do it.
What?
"Please go to the front hall to greet me." Cao Kui thought for a while and then said to the boy: "Ask the girl to come and help me wash up."
No matter what Su Changsheng's intention is, he cannot be rude, let alone admit defeat!
Su Changsheng was sitting in the living room of the Cao family, looking around with his eyes. Seeing the exquisite and precious antiques and the grand decoration, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The Cao family is the top rich man in Changping County. He has long known that his boss was just a small rich man in the past. In front of a rich man like the Cao family, he was simply not enough.
Look at these furnishings, just one piece can cost thousands of taels, right?
Su Changsheng took a big sip of tea and felt very unsatisfied. He was also a human being, how could he be so prosperous?
Yes, he knew that Su Liu and the others had a close relationship with the Cao family. Even the eldest sister's son was arranged by Su Liu to do errands here.
After saying this, I felt suspicious in my heart, so I came here to check it out. After doing this, I found out that the head of the Cao family was originally a widower, and he has not remarried yet.
After finding out this news, Su Changsheng couldn't sit still, especially after hearing what Su Liu meant, what else could he not understand? I'm afraid that Chen and the head of the Cao family have set eyes on each other.
How can that be done? Chen is his Su Changsheng's woman, how can she marry someone else? This is absolutely not okay.
Men are different from women. Even if they don't want the other person, they don't want to see her remarry again and will always be loyal to him. Su Changsheng is such a scumbag. Whenever he thinks of Chen sleeping with someone else, he will feel so jealous.
Crazy.
So, he is here to warn this Cao Kui not to take advantage of his Mei Niang, huh!
After changing three cups of tea, Su Changsheng drank a lot of water, and Cao Kui hadn't even appeared yet. He couldn't help but feel angry, because he was trying to put on a show for him!
"Hey, go and see, why hasn't anyone come yet? I'm so full of water that I'm about to urinate. Is your master giving birth to a baby or something? He hasn't come yet." Su Changsheng pointed at a little girl and asked.
That little girl had just grown her hair. When she heard Su Changsheng's vulgar words, her face turned red and she twisted her clothes and was speechless.
"Let me ask you, is the little girl deaf or mute?" Seeing her silence, Su Changsheng was very impatient.
The little girl was almost crying and said hesitantly: "Master, master is coming soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cough came from the side door. Su Changsheng looked over and stood up subconsciously.
The person who came here was only about forty years old. He had a rosewood hairpin on his head, a slender figure, and was dressed in navy blue brocade. He had a silver belt around his waist, with a yellow jade pendant hanging on one side and a jade pendant on the other.
Hulu. He has a gentle temperament, and the corners of his lips are slightly hooked. Looking from a distance, he looks elegant and generous, just like a scholar, which makes people feel ashamed.
Cao Kui was originally known as a Confucian businessman, and he was born with a peerless beauty like Cao Mingzhu. How could his own foundation be so bad? In addition, he deliberately dressed up, so he would naturally be compared with Su Changsheng.
While Su Changsheng was looking at him, Cao Kui had also looked at Su Changsheng from beginning to end, sighing in his heart: How could such a person give birth to a daughter as smart and astute as Su Liu?
"Who is this?" Cao Kui stepped forward politely.
Su Changsheng cursed in his heart, knowing that this was the first time they met, so he puffed up his chest and said loudly: "I am Su Liu's biological father."
Cao Kui's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Oh, I thought I was a servant who fooled me, but it turned out to be Brother Su. Forgive me for being late. Sit down, please take a seat." Cao Kui stepped forward with a smile and said to the person behind him.
Humanity said: "Come here, serve Mr. Su tea again."
Su Changsheng didn't want to admit that he behaved like everyone else, and thought of his deliberate neglect, he snorted and said: "No need, Mr. Cao is busy with things, I don't dare to disturb him, I will leave as soon as I say something."
Cao Kui's business was booming, so he couldn't hear what he was saying, so he smiled and said: "My daughter and Su Liu are also good sisters. I also said that I like the child in every possible way, and I am quite speculative. Now it is the first time to meet Su Liu."
Brothers, why bother leaving in a hurry? Our two families are destined to be together, so we should make some noise about our family affairs."
Su Changsheng felt unhappy when he saw how familiar he was with his movements. Without thinking, he said sharply: "We are not familiar with each other, and I don't dare to disturb our family affairs with someone who wants to steal his wife."
A sharp look flashed across Cao Kui's sharp eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He lowered his eyelids and said, "I wonder what Brother Su means by this?"
"What do you mean?" Su Changsheng raised his chin and squinted at him: "You sent a lady two days ago to ask us Mei Niang and Liu'er to come here to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day, right?"
"This is indeed the case." Cao Kui replied calmly.
"Look, I can't hide it. Admit it, why don't you say that Xiao misses my mother Mei? You look like a gentleman, but in fact, businessmen like you are the most cunning ones. You must want to coax their mother and daughter.
, so that you can flatter my son-in-law?" Su Changsheng felt more and more that he was telling the truth. Thinking of a certain possibility, he asked excitedly: "Do you think he has hooked up with my wife a long time ago?"
"Brother Su, please be careful. Mei Niang and I are not as unbearable as you said when we were in love but not polite." Cao Kui put down the tea cup in his hand heavily, and said coldly without the politeness before.
: "You talk nonsense and insult people's innocence, which is really the behavior of a gentleman. I hope Brother Su will be careful with his words to avoid getting into trouble."
"Who are you to teach me a lesson?" After being scolded by him, Su Changsheng became angry and said: "You are a gentleman by taking away someone's wife? Cao Kui, do you dare to say that you don't miss our Mei Niang? I tell you,
You are wrong about your thoughts. It won't be long before Mei Niang and her daughter will come back to Su's house with me."
Hearing that Chen was going back to the Su family, Cao Kui's heart skipped a beat, but when he saw his eyes flashing and understanding in his heart, he sneered: "Who are you to make such a noise here? Your wife? Your wife is that Zhou from the Su family.
Mrs. Zhou, the Mrs. Zhou whom you doted on like jewels and jewels, is not the Mei Niang you have divorced with a long time ago. As for me, a fair lady, a gentleman likes to be jealous, Mei Niang is a good woman, naturally I will not miss it, but I will definitely
Follow the three books and six etiquette to ask her to marry you, and you will never ruin or insult her. But you, with your virtue and all the dirty things you did to Mei Niang in the past, will she agree to your return to the deep pool of the Su family? Su Changsheng
, who do you think is a fool!"
Su Changsheng was exposed to the central issue and said angrily: Cao Kui, do you like to break shoes so much?"
Broken shoes? Cao Kui's eyes narrowed and his sharp gaze shot straight at him.
Touching his knife-like eyes, Su Changsheng felt that the air suddenly became colder. Even though it was a July day, it still felt chilly and a chill ran down his spine.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Cao Kui smiled coldly and said, "I will tell Mei Niang exactly what Brother Su said today. What do you think will happen if Mei Niang knows what you said?"
Su Changsheng's expression changed drastically, and his eyes suddenly widened: "You, you are despicable."
"So what if it's despicable? You call the woman I wholeheartedly want to marry a broken shoe, Su Changsheng, you never know what you've missed!" Cao Kui smiled coldly and added: "But I want to thank you, if not
If you foolishly reconcile with her, I won’t have this chance, haha, hahaha!”
Su Changsheng was stunned and looked at Cao Kui, speechless.
