Jin Wuxi, at dusk.

Su Xun was hugged to a chair by Tao, and the whole family had dinner together.

The atmosphere in the room is as usual, and the dishes are also tempting, including Su Xun's favorite crab roe tofu and red lees sesame oil crucian carp.

But at this moment, Su Xun sat on the chopsticks, didn't reach out to coerce, just glanced at the second brother Su Jueyuan, who was quieter than before, only to feel more and more panicked in his heart, and he really didn't have the appetite to eat.

There is no other reason, she also knows about the rumors about the second brother, the problem is not heard from her father's mouth, but she is passing by the back garden, and she happened to meet two miscellaneous maids.

This rumor, as soon as she heard it, she knew that it was spread by Luo Shun, and she didn't know how many people he hired to spread it, but after a day's work, everyone in the streets and alleys of Kyoto knew about it, and even the Rongguo Mansion, although the eldest uncle explicitly forbade the mansion to talk about it, but at present, in addition to hiding it from the Rongguo Duke and the old lady, everything that should have been heard has been heard.

Su Xun knew that some people who were familiar with the Rongguo Mansion would not listen to rumors, and more people would only listen to them as jokes, laughing at them, but it was inevitable that there would be some people who were not clear about the situation, and when they listened to it, they believed it to be true, and it was not good for the reputation of the second brother.

But Luo Shun is also well versed in the thoughts of the family, he wants to save face and have grace, even if it is a rumor of his real name and surname, it may not be true, let alone this obscure and tortuous one, if anyone is angry and stands up, he will not fall into his way, and maybe let others think that it is true.

Yes, the only way to calm down is now.

Su Xun glanced at his father, who was eating silently, pouted, lowered his head, took a small mouthful of white rice in his mouth, lowered his eyes and was about to chew, when he saw a piece of yellow and steaming tofu into his bowl.

As soon as Su Xun raised his eyes, he saw his second brother sitting next to him with a smile on his face, his eyes were full of spoiling, and he didn't look like he was worried just now.

"Yuanyuan, today's crab roe tofu is particularly fragrant and tender, try it. Su Jueyuan said softly, pursed his mouth again, and motioned for Su Xun to take a quick bite.

Su Xun's hand froze, looking at the tofu in the bowl, a little stunned.

In this situation, it stands to reason that the second brother is in the worst mood, but even if he is in the worst mood, he will always remember to take care of her first, and in the final analysis, the second brother is in this matter, that is, to protect her, but he is still so good to her without a word of complaint.

is such a good brother, she naturally has no reason to brush off his kindness.

Su Xun sniffed, lowered his head and opened his mouth to take a big bite of tofu, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, met Su Jueyuan's expectant eyes, nodded and said, "It's delicious!" and seemed to be unfinished, "Second brother, I want to eat crescent meat." ”

Crescent meat refers to a piece of meat on the side of the fish's gills, where it is smoothest and most delicious. Every time Su Xun eats fish, she will start with that piece of meat, and her family knows that she likes to eat there, so they often keep it for her.

Hearing Su Xun say this, Su Jueyuan suddenly felt relieved, just now he saw his sister chewing rice absentmindedly, knowing that she was also worried about herself, and her heart was warm, but his sister was like this, he was also distressed. Now I see that she seems to be in a better mood, and it is better to eat fish.

"Well, good!"

Su Jueyuan responded and reached out to threaten him, but as soon as the chopsticks reached over, another pair of chopsticks took the lead, skillfully clamped the piece of meat, and then gently placed it in Su Xun's bowl.

"Yuanyuan, eat fish. Su Jueze looked serious, but his eyes looked at Su Xun extremely gently, and said softly.

"Big brother, Yuan Yuan asked me to clip it for her!" Seeing Su Jueze like this, Su Jueyuan looked at him with a dissatisfied face, and shouted helplessly, but he found that he was screaming too loudly, and immediately glanced at Su Shaohua carefully.

Su Shaohua has a strict family education, and he is even more strict with his son, on weekdays, if he is so noisy during the meal, he will definitely open his mouth to reprimand, but at this moment, Su Shaohua turned a deaf ear, he lowered his eyes, and gave a Longjing shrimp to Tao, before he raised his eyes and glanced at Su Jueyuan, as if reminding: "There is another piece." ”

Su Jueyuan was stunned for a moment, and also understood what Su Shaohua meant, he hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks to turn over the fish to clamp, for fear that someone would take the lead again, and when he gave the fish to Su Xun, he immediately looked at Su Jueze proudly.

Su Jueze seemed to ignore it, just calmly lowered his eyes to eat, and after chewing slowly and swallowing the rice, he said slowly: "I sandwiched the first piece of fish in Yuanyuan." "The show off is beyond words.

And listening to the eldest brother say such a sentence solemnly, and looking at the second brother's stunned appearance and not wanting to admit it, Su Xun couldn't help but bend his eyebrows and laughed.

The atmosphere in the room became warm, and Su Shaohua and Tao also looked at each other and smiled when they saw this, but their hearts were always a little heavy.

After dinner, when Mama Zhang sent her daughter back to the house, Su Shaohua and Tao went back to Yuxiu Courtyard.

Dow sat in front of the yellow rosewood frame, reached out and took off the silver inlaid white jade dot emerald hairpin on his head, the palm-sized face has been removed from the makeup, the skin is as white as jade, the facial features are delicate and flawless, but there is no loss of brilliance, but look closely, the eyes that are as clear as water have been a little tired.

His wife's exhaustion naturally couldn't escape Su Shaohua's eyes, and when he saw that Tao had finished smearing the fragrant jade cream, he stepped forward, hugged her distressedly, and said in a low voice: "Jin'er, I have wronged you." ”

Tao leaned on Su Shaohua's arms and didn't move, and after half a sound, he pushed him, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be extremely sleepy: "The concubine is tired, go to sleep first." Then, without waiting for Su Shaohua's reaction, he pushed him away, and slowly walked to the bed and lay down.

Seeing this, Su Shaohua hummed lightly, he knew that his wife was really tired, he got up early this day, not to mention that he was tired, he was very anxious, and he was already very tired. He sniffed the fragrance left on his body, looked at Tao's delicate back, and said softly as if taking care of himself: "Don't worry, things will be dealt with." ”

As he spoke, Su Shaohua's eyes turned a little cold. Naturally, he would not allow rumors to spread endlessly, and during the day, he had actually found his subordinates to give orders to them. And to deal with a shameless person like Luo Shun and such rumors, he naturally can't do it clearly, and he has to use his way to treat his body. Although this is a bit detrimental, for the sake of his wife and children, no matter what he does, he feels that it is right.

Dow was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

……

In the Qinzhu courtyard, the Jiang family was smiling, but he completely lost the complaint that Rong Guogong and the old lady did not come to the banquet during the day.

She has not yet freshened up, wearing a brocade dress with a peony pattern of gold buttons, combing a tilted bun on her head, inserting a hollow gold hairpin, and the makeup on her face is exquisite, and the picture looks extravagant. At this moment, she smiled, gently hugged her sleeping son, looked at the little face in the red swaddling clothes, and couldn't help but say: What about the distressed children in the third room of the old house, and now it has not become someone else's after-dinner tea. His son is so well-behaved, and when he grows up in the future, he will be better than the third room.

Jiang Shi thought about it, and couldn't help but think of Su Enhua again, his eyes darkened, after a banquet last night, he went out with that group of pig friends and dog friends, and he hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know where to look for flowers and ask willows.

Jiang was annoyed, handed over his son to Mama Li, who was standing aside, stood up and walked to the window, and involuntarily looked out, although she knew that Su Enhua was unreliable, but he was also his own husband in the end, and he would always have hope as a wife.

But the yard is dark and quiet, where can anyone come back?

Jiang retracted his eyes in disappointment, and was about to turn back, but saw a faint light shining in the side room. There is where the niece Jiang Rouyun lives, and the Jiang family knows that the girl likes to read the most, so when she has nothing to do during the day, she nests in her room and holds a book, and now she must be reading at night.

But what's the use of reading so many books? I can't get into the eyes of others......

Jiang snorted coldly in his heart, then turned his head and instructed Mama Li: "Go, tell that little girl, lamp oil is expensive, but she can't afford to use it like this!" Now she feels uncomfortable, and she can't look at the comfort of others.

Mama Li was stunned for a moment, she had a good impression of Jiang Rouyun, although the little girl was a little thinner, she was beautiful and lovely, and she was still very polite.

But now, since the Jiang family has ordered, Mama Li can only go no matter how embarrassed she is.

Jiang Rouyun was wearing a half-worn turquoise dress, simply combed a double bun, her whole body was clean, and there was no half jewelry, when Mama Li arrived, she supported her cheeks with her hands, her beautiful little face was concentrated, and she was flipping through a half-used book.

Seeing Mama Li coming, she stood up and called softly. Mama Li was also embarrassed, hesitated, then explained her intentions, said, and carefully looked at Jiang Rouyun's face, but saw that her face was not waveless, and finally chuckled.

"I know, I'm tired of Mama Li. Jiang Rouyun lowered her eyes and nodded, her attitude was still peaceful, but no one noticed the hatred in her eyes when she lowered her eyes.

"Well, the girl should rest sooner. Seeing her like this, Mama Li felt more and more that this little girl was good, and couldn't help but look at it twice before turning around and leaving.

Jiang Rouyun saw the people leaving, there was no smile on her face, she bit her lip, closed the door, walked to the table, took a deep breath, and blew out the light. Then, Kazuki lay on the wooden bed of **, but did not close his eyes. She looked at the pitch black, and felt a little disdainful in her heart, this aunt would only take her out of anger, she was still unclear, and she could laugh when she saw something happen to the third room. Doesn't it clear that the big families are both prosperous and all are lost? I think back then, the virtue of Su Erye of the Rongguo Mansion was not clearly stated, and he almost affected other people in the mansion. Now that the rumors of the third room are spreading, should I really be able to stay out of it?

If she can stay, she must draw a line with the Jiang family, otherwise, she will definitely be dragged down in the future.

But how exactly can you stay?

Jiang Rouyun thought secretly, and couldn't help but clench her hands.

……

The next day, when the sky was bright, Su Xunshang was lying in the soft thin quilt and sleeping soundly, but he vaguely heard Banxia and Honeysuckle whispering nearby.

The conversation was that when the night was blank last night, a message of "the second master of the Luo family in Kyoto committed adultery with someone and was thrown naked on the street" spread like a prairie fire, and the limelight became even stronger, and there were many witnesses to confirm the authenticity of the matter.

And as soon as such violent news came out, naturally no one mentioned the matter of the restaurant whose authenticity could not be judged in the first place, and the discussion point was on the "adultery of Second Master Luo".

Su Xun was happy to hear it, and only hoped that this dream would never wake up, and it would be best if it came true.

And when she thought about this, she heard someone hurriedly walk in and scolded the two of them in a low voice.

It was Mama Zhang's voice, she scolded a few times, and suddenly paused, but she seemed to be talking to herself, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what kind of heart the person surnamed Luo has come to visit An in person?"

The surname Luo came to visit in person?

Is Luo Shun here?!

Su Xun was shocked, his eyelashes fluttered, his big eyes opened suddenly, and the whole person was completely awake.
