Chapter 42: The Birthday Banquet
"Xiao Qi has any ideas, just say it, there is no need to be restrained in front of his father. www.biquge.info"Su Qingyuan didn't notice how 'age-incompatible' Su Qi's tone was, and in his eyes, his daughter had no shortcomings.
"If you can, Dad might as well take advantage of the most prosperous sales of printed silk in other shops to send someone to spread some news, that is, although the printed silk is beautiful and novel, the patterns printed and dyed on the silk are somewhat damaging to the human body, and must be washed with special soap powder before wearing. It's best to find a few people who pretend to be wearing clothes made of printed silk and hurt their skin, and hang around in front of the shop that sells silk, so as to increase the trust of others. ”
Su Qingyuan frowned, as if he was considering the feasibility of the method proposed by Su Qi.
"I didn't expect my father to come up with such a method at a young age, but your words reminded my father that my father can't let those people be arrogant. ”
Su Qi was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she was not a young girl, at least her heart was already an adult's heart. Regarding the Su family's business, Su Qi still has many opinions of his own, but it is obviously not a good time to say it.
It's not that Su Qingyuan really doesn't have a way to deal with the Jin family, and it's not that he can't think of some ways to get more benefits for himself, it's just that it's really difficult for him to cross the barrier in his heart. The teaching he received since he was a child is to behave and do things in a righteous and bright way, to practice the virtues of a gentleman, and to practice the way of a gentleman, but ......
Looking at the eyebrows and eyes of his eldest daughter and his deceased wife, Su Qingyuan slowly clenched the fists in his hand, this difficulty he must overcome, whether it is for those who are deceased or those who are still alive today.
"Don't talk about these things that discourage you, Xiao Qi quickly tell my dad about what you have learned recently, and my father has to test you well. Su Qingyuan, who changed the topic, returned to his previous demeanor and clear appearance.
Su Qi also began to talk to Su Qingyuan about his studies according to his words, the moonlight was bright, and through the window, the shadows of the father and daughter who were sitting at the same table were stretched extremely long, like a painting stained with ink.
The two who were immersed in the warmth of the father and daughter naturally didn't notice that just outside the house not far away, there was a figure wrapped in black with an indifferent expression like ice that had taken in her every move in her eyes.
"Cut, just such a little girl, she actually made it possible to ask me to do it, the master is really getting older and more confused. There was a faint disdain in the words that came out of the thin lips of the figure, and with her solemn expression, there was an indescribable strangeness.
In just a moment, the figure disappeared past the wall of Qingfeng Residence, as if it had never appeared.
Mrs. Su's birthday came faster than Su Qi imagined, originally Su Qi thought that with Mrs. Su's preference for quiet temperament, her birthday banquet would not be large, but to her surprise, her birthday banquet was not only held, but also the scene was quite large.
Some local officials and famous people came, and Su Qi guessed that these people must be thinking of his father's face, or someone who intended to slap him. Some businessmen also appeared at Mrs. Su's birthday banquet, although Su Qi didn't know a few, but the businessmen and those who claimed to have status were still very clear, and the two groups of people were consciously separated from each other, and even their eyes were deliberately avoided, even if they did, they were just seeing a cloud of air.
Although Su Qi knew that her father's talent and virtue were good, and he didn't have the slightest copper-smelling philistine, he didn't look like a businessman but like a big man, but she still knew very well in her heart that those who believed in their status were just because her father had silver and a father-in-law who was in the position of county commander.
Su Qi was not half interested in the banquet, so he went to the Cixin Hall where Mrs. Su was, gave her a birthday gift embroidered by herself, and chatted with Mrs. Su for a while, and Su Qi left the Cixin Hall.
Today's weather is good, the peach blossoms in Sufu are blooming at the right time, and the pink of each tree looks very pleasing to the eye, especially when the delicate petals are blown off by the wind, there is a touching beauty.
Su Qiyi was fascinated by the spring scene in front of him for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had already walked to the pool next to the back garden.
There were pieces of peach petals floating on the crystal clear water, and Su Qi suddenly wanted to use her hands to fish, but before she could stretch out her hand, she suddenly felt a burst of force from behind her, pushing her whole person into the water involuntarily.
Fortunately, a guardrail was built next to the pool, and Su Qi didn't fall down in the end, thinking that he had escaped, but the fact was obviously far from what Su Qi thought in his heart. The force behind him came again, and Su Qi didn't even have time to turn his head to take a look, his whole body had already crossed the guardrail and flew straight into the water.
In an instant, Su Qi seemed to see a familiar figure standing not far away, and before she could see it clearly, she felt that her body was completely submerged in the water, and then another 'poof' sound came.
Su Qiqiang endured the discomfort and opened his eyes in the water, but saw a scene that frightened him, a woman wearing a maid's costume and about twenty years old appeared in front of her eyes, the woman's eyes were undisguised killing intent, Su Qi immediately reacted that this person was the person who had just pushed himself into the water.
This is the only word in Su Qi's heart at this moment, she used all her strength to swing her hands and feet, trying to distance herself from the woman, but how could her thin body swim past that woman, but in a short moment, Su Qi was entangled by that person, and at the same time, a cold hand also buckled Su Qi's neck!
Because it was in the water, Su Qi couldn't even shout for help, she struggled desperately but to no avail, the woman seemed to be determined to kill her, the force in her hand became heavier and heavier, Su Qi was strangled to extreme pain, her mouth opened involuntarily, and the water in all directions immediately entered her abdomen along Su Qi's mouth.
Pain and suffocation, this pain made Su Qi want to disappear into this world immediately, but at this moment, her consciousness was unexpectedly clear.
She can't die!
Su Qi opened her hand and slammed the waist of the person behind her, pulling her body into the person's strength, and she didn't know where the strength came from, she was able to turn her head under the extremely heavy shackles of that person, and opened her mouth to bite the person's snow-white neck, and the slightest blood scattered along Su Qi's lips into the water in an instant.
The man didn't seem to expect Su Qi to have such a counterattack, Su Qi bit this bite not lightly, and bit it on the neck, the woman suddenly felt a little dizzy, but she didn't plan to let Su Qi go.
"If the master wants you to die, I will not leave you alive. The woman said silently in her heart, and at the same time, she also pulled out a delicate knife that was no longer behind her waist, and aimed it at Su Qi's chest with a hard stab!
But the woman didn't get her wish after all, and a huge stone flew from nowhere, and smashed down on the top of the woman's head, and the woman couldn't dodge being hit by the big stone on the shoulder, and the knife in her hand slipped from between her fingers and sank to the bottom of the water.
"Come on, someone, someone has fallen into the water here!" A shrill shout came from his ears, but Su Qi couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes were closed, and he lost consciousness.
