In the carriage, Su Xun's slender body leaned on the cushion, but he became more and more depressed. When she met Xiao Rui, she was in a bad mood, but what made her care more was that when she glanced at it in a hurry just now, she seemed to see that there was another person inside, and although that person was dark and thin, this appearance looked like the second brother Su Jueyuan.

And it is indeed impossible for the second brother and Xiao Rui to come back in the same carriage, and she expected it a long time ago, but when she remembered that in the past seven years, the two of them have been together, and she doesn't know what happened, and she is not very good. After all, she has always felt that the two were too ambiguous when they were children.

I don't want to go back to my house in a hurry, for fear that when I see my second brother, I will bring someone back.

Su Xun pursed his lips, felt the bump, sighed secretly, and muttered, "Lianwu, let's go to the second cousin's first." ”

The second cousin Su Yingzheng has always been a promising, after entering the office at the age of seventeen, and because of the secret help of his grandfather Lin family, in just three years, he was already the director of the fourth grade. And when it came to the year of the weak crown, Xu didn't want to stay with his second uncle, that is, how did his grandfather stay, he also insisted on moving out and setting up his own door, and now he has been away for a year. Besides, this second uncle, after he took a leave of absence from the Jiang family, the more he spent time outside, and he couldn't see anyone all day, but since the second cousin moved out, this temperament has really converged a lot, and he won't go home at night, as if he is afraid that he will be kicked out.

It's really a thing down to a thing.

Lianwu heard Su Xun's order, and didn't ask much, so she poked her head out and instructed the coachman. Shui Li on the side was full of doubts, and said in his heart: Why did you go to see the second cousin first, aren't you in a hurry to see the second brother? Could it be that the second cousin who often accompanies her is closer than the second brother who has not seen her for seven years?

Thinking about it, Shui Li couldn't help but secretly mourn for Su Jueyuan.

After half a pillar of incense, the carriage stopped at a side gate of Shaoqing's mansion.

Su Xun got out of the carriage, opened the side door and walked in. She had been to this Shaoqing Mansion too many times, and her second cousin also thought that she might come to visit the door at any time, so this side door was often hidden, just to facilitate her to enter and exit at will.

This Shaoqing Mansion is not as big as the Rongguo Mansion, but if you live alone, it is very empty. The style of the house is also simple and low-key, especially after the second cousin moved in, he ordered someone to plant a large area of Xiangfei bamboo, which made it look more and more quiet.

Su Xun took off his hat, handed it to the pear behind him, walked under the cloister, took a deep breath, smelled the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, looked at the large green bamboo forest that seemed to be endless, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I originally thought that the second cousin liked bamboo, but I thought that this bamboo had a good meaning, and it was a symbol of a gentleman. Later, I learned that the deceased Lin family also loved bamboo very much, and Su Yingzheng also learned about it from the servant, so he began to plant bamboo forests in his residence, perhaps to see things and think about people. After all, the mother who has never seen him, even if he fights for his last breath, will give birth to him and give him life.

Su Xun sighed secretly, withdrew his eyes, and walked forward concentratingly. However, she was not looking for her second cousin at the moment, she was halfway through the trip just now, she suddenly remembered that today is not a day off, and the second cousin is still handling official business in Dali Temple at this hour, and it is unlikely that he will be in the house. But even so, after thinking about it, she still came here, but she wanted it to be quiet, so that she could stay alone and carefree.

She went straight to the study in the house, thinking of reading some books to relax, but naturally, those books were not serious books, but some story books with pictures. The second cousin knew that she liked to read it, and specially ordered someone to collect a number of picture albums, including a few unique books. I remember that there is a book about the cultivation of immortals, the content is quite exciting and interesting, I only read half of it last time, but I can continue to read it today.

Thinking of such things, Su Xun walked briskly through the lush bamboo forest, but when she passed by a guest room, she saw that the door was half-closed, and her eyes inadvertently swept inside, but she was stunned.

I saw a woman wearing a light green dress and a gentle face sitting on the Luohan bed in the room, and then looked closely at the appearance, it was not difficult to recognize that the woman was the cousin of the sister-in-law in the lobby, remembering that it was called Liang Jingshu.

At this moment, she lowered her eyes, her slender and slender hand was holding a needle and thread, and she was carefully sewing a light cyan men's brocade robe, and that dress was not someone else's, Su Xun could see at a glance that it was the second cousin Su Yingzheng.

It's no wonder that the second cousin has always been thrifty and thrifty, and he doesn't like to buy more clothes, and there are only a few pieces of clothing he wears all year round, so he can naturally recognize it at a glance. And last time, she had seen the clothes worn by her second cousin cracked, and she wanted to take him out to buy new clothes, but where did the second cousin refuse, and he shirked it in every possible way.

Right now, a girl has come to mend his clothes, yes......

But Su Xun looked at Liang Jingshu, but there was something strange in his heart: if it was according to her thoughts, it would be nothing for a girl's family to sew clothes for others. But after living here for 13 years, she knows very well some local ideas, and knows that the concept of gender difference here is deep-rooted, such as: men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven. What's more, she remembered that Liang Jingshu was fifteen years old this year, and she had passed the ceremony, and she was able to get married, and now she had a cloud bun on her head that only an adult woman could comb...... There's something really wrong.

But looking at the stitches and threads sewing seriously, this attention was all focused on it, and he didn't notice that someone was passing by at all, Su Xun thought about it, didn't make a sound, turned around gently, returned his eyes, glanced at the maids who followed on both sides, signaled not to say more, and prepared to continue walking towards the study as if he hadn't seen anything. But she just wanted to turn around and take a step, but she saw in the distance, a girl in a big red dress with a handsome face holding two or three clothes in her hand and striding happily, this girl was none other than Liang Jingshu's sister in the house-Liang Jingjiao.

And when Su Xun saw Liang Jingjiao for the first time, she couldn't help frowning slightly, for some reason, she felt that she didn't like this girl too much. Although Liang Jingjiao is really good-looking, she is more beautiful than her sister, and her temperament is more lively, and her pestering kung fu is even more first-class. As far as she knew, this girl often had the audacity to appear on the way back to her second cousin's home, pretending to meet by chance, and from time to time giving away some small gadgets such as purses and sachets. It's hard to be rejected every time, and you can continue again and again, without knowing how to retreat, and your courage is commendable.

But Su Xun always felt that this girl was not right-minded and too selfish, for example, at the moment, looking at this situation, it should be because her handiwork is not good, so she brought her sister to sew clothes for the person she admires, don't you know that you have to take care of your sister's reputation? !

Liang Jingjiao was able to enter the mansion, but she inadvertently found the small side door reserved for Su Xun, and sneaked in, and it was not the first time she came in, and she had already figured out where the mansion was the quietest and least noticeable. When she saw Su Xun, she knew that she had been caught, and when she saw that beautiful face at first glance, she couldn't help but feel faintly jealous, but when she thought that this person was her sweetheart's cousin, she bit her lip, secretly rolled her eyes, slowed down and walked over, but said with a smile on her face: "What a coincidence, you are also here today." ”

Su Xun was silent, listening to this deliberately pretending to be familiar tone, and snorted secretly in his heart: According to the personality of the second cousin, it is impossible to let a strange woman in casually. And I don't guess how Liang Jingjiao got in. I'm afraid, when she sees her second cousin next time, she will have to ask him to close the door tightly.

Inside the house, Liang Jingshu heard the voice, only to notice that there was a person standing at the door, and when she saw that the person standing at the door was not only her sister, but there was also an unusually beautiful and familiar girl. She hurriedly stood up, walked over, lowered her eyes, and said softly: "Miss Su Qi, I'm really sorry, we ......" As she spoke, Liang Jingshu bit her lip tightly, unable to say the following words, her heart was like a drum, thinking about the ridiculous things she did today, she only felt more and more difficult to speak.

Su Xun glanced at Liang Jingshu, saw her so ashamed, pursed her lower lip, and said in her heart: If there was only Liang Jingjiao today, she would definitely shout someone out without saying a word, but now, ......

Su Xun took a deep breath, but as if he didn't see it, he said as he walked forward: "Let's leave after finishing the clothes, don't take it as an example." As he spoke, he walked to the study without looking back.

Seeing the thin figure go away, Liang Jingjiao sighed softly, and muttered again: "I don't know if that girl will talk more about today's events, hey, it's really unlucky." ”

"Jingjiao, don't talk about people behind your back, besides, Miss Su Qi is not that kind of person. Liang Jingshu frowned and scolded, but having said that, she couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart, yes, what if she said it?

Liang Jingshu lowered her eyes slightly, but when her eyes fell on those clothes, a face with a faint expression couldn't help but appear in her mind, which suddenly made her gently purse her lower lip, and her eyes were soft.

……

When the time came, knowing from the mouthy pear that the Liang sisters had left, Su Xun put down the book, touched his stomach, and felt that he was a little hungry, and it was time to go back to the Rongguo Mansion for a snack.

As soon as Shui Li heard that her girl was just thinking about eating snacks when she returned to the Rongguo Mansion, she couldn't help but mourn for the young master Su Jueyuan for a while.

Su Xun got into the carriage with the two maids and went back to the Rongguo Mansion, and as soon as she got out of the carriage, Su Xun went straight to the dining hall, she was really hungry, after all, she saw Xiao Rui before, she was a little frightened, and it took a little effort.

And she estimated that at this hour, Mama Duan should have prepared a lot of snacks for her in the dining hall, so she stepped into the dining hall and called sweetly in her mouth, "Mama Duan." ”

But the next moment, her steps were stunned.

I saw that in addition to Mama Duan in the dining hall, there was already a person sitting at the table eating snacks, with a generous back, a straight back, so strange, and hearing her voice, the man immediately turned his head, with a dark face, handsome facial features, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he could vaguely see the appearance of his youth, and he was so familiar.

Su Xun was stunned, but it was not only her who was stunned.

Su Jueyuan couldn't help but widen when he saw such a thin but fairy-like girl, but after taking a closer look, he found that the face was faintly familiar, as if it was ...... No way!

Su Xuanyuan couldn't believe it, he stood up, turned around Su Xun twice, pointed his finger at her, and still asked uncertainly: "Mama Duan, where is this little girl?"

Su Xun saw that Su Jueyuan actually pretended not to recognize her, pursed his lips, and saw the finger stretched out in front of him, so he immediately didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Hey, it's really a snack, I can even eat my second brother's fingers when I'm hungry!" Su Jueyuan quickly retracted his hand, looked at the neat tooth marks, and wailed.

Su Xun ignored him, walked straight to the table, sat down, stretched out his chopsticks, and took a jade celery shrimp dumpling, and then put it in his mouth, but put it in Su Jueyuan's bowl on the side, looked back at the second brother who was standing there, and smiled softly: "Second brother, eat dumplings." ”

"Hey, okay, Yuanyuan. Su Jueyuan came back to his senses, the corners of his lips raised, and he quickly sat down, not in a hurry to eat, but first not to be outdone, he scooped a bowl of bird's nest barley sweet soup for his sister, put it in front of her, and said, "Yuanyuan, eat." ”

"Hmm. Su Xun nodded, he was not in a hurry to eat, and gave the second brother pine nut lily crisp......

Subsequently, at the dinner table, the elder brother and sister began to hold each other's dishes non-stop, until the small bowl was full, and looking at the full small bowl, the two couldn't help but feel that they had returned to the familiarity they were when they were children, and they looked at each other and laughed out loud.

At this time, Mama Duan couldn't help but "cough" lightly, signaling the two to eat quickly, but glanced at the two brothers and sisters who were happy, as if they had a thousand words, but after a while, they quietly retreated.

Seeing that there were only two people left in the house, Su Xun picked up the soup bowl, looked at Su Jueyuan's dark and thin appearance, and asked knowingly, "Second brother, is the border hard?"

"Bitter, often can't eat a full meal, when the food is out, we will catch rats, gnaw on the roots of the tree......" Su Jueyuan replied with great interest, as if he remembered something, but he deliberately paused, and said, "I remember one winter, the grain and grass were not delivered in time, Xiaobai and I were cold and hungry, hugging each other all day to keep warm, and we only survived those seven days......

Su Xunyuan said straight in his heart: You deserve it, who let the second brother follow Xiao Rui and endure hardship. But when he heard this stubble, he was stunned and shocked, and with a "click", the spoon in his hand fell to the ground.
