Chapter 38: The Family Feast
It was raining lightly outside the window, and when I looked out, there was a hazy fog, and the rain in early winter was the coldest.
Su Qingwan turned the page of the book in his hand, and tightened the coat on his shoulders, there have been too many things recently, and it is rare to be able to calm down and read the book today.
"Miss. Chunsheng came in with a small stove from outside the door, "I heard Steward Wu downstairs say that the third aunt seems to be back." Saying that, she pursed her lips and put the stove next to the round table near Su Qingwan, with a hint of complaint in her tone, "Didn't you say that you went to live with your old parents, why did you come back so soon." ”
Su Qingwan didn't raise his head, smiled lightly and continued to read, his voice soft, "Maybe there is something important." ”
"Miss......" Chunsheng seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by someone who suddenly pushed the door in.
"Wanwan. ”
Su Qingwan closed the book when he heard the voice, turned to look at the person standing at the door, and smiled lightly, "Second brother." Su Jinfeng walked over with his feet raised, his eyes unintentionally swept over the table, and asked with a smile, "Am I disturbing your reading?" ”
Su Qingwan shook her head, turned around and poured a cup of hot water and handed it over. Su Jinfeng took it and warmed it in his hand before he spoke, "Father's birthday is coming, and my mother said that we will have a meal together tonight." ”
Su Qingwan immediately nodded, "Okay." Su Jinfeng turned his head to look out the window, the sound of rain was clear, the room was quiet, he took a sip of the water that was still steaming in his hand, and felt that his whole body instantly spread warm.
Su Qingwan also slowly warmed a glass of water with her hand, quietly looking out the window, after a while, she turned her head slightly, but unexpectedly came into contact with Su Jinfeng's gaze that was fixed on her, Su Qingwan clenched the water cup in a slight daze, "Second brother, ......"
Su Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, calmly shifted his gaze, stared at the dripping rain outside and whispered, "It seems that the rain is estimated to fall for a day today." Su Qingwan looked out the window, "It looks like so." ”
Su Jinfeng turned around and put the cup on the table, and smiled at Su Qingwan, "You can rest in peace." With that, he went out the door. Su Qingwan looked at the slightly cold half glass of water on the table, and then raised her eyes to look at the door where there was no figure, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Towards noon, the rain finally began to weaken. The street was still hazy, and there was a person hiding behind the gate of Sufu, and although the rain was light, after a while, a large piece of wet on his shoulders was already wet.
It was empty all around, and there was not even a figure, he shrank his head and looked at it for a long time, and then finally walked quickly out of Su Mansion to the opposite side.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived on the other side, he was vigorously grabbed by the collar at the back of his neck, and a deep voice sounded quietly behind him, "After hiding for so many days, your kid is finally willing to come out!"
Su Junsheng's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he turned around and swallowed his saliva, and explained timidly, "Five...... Fifth master, I didn't want to escape, I was because something happened...... Something can't come out......"
"Do you think I'm going to believe your!" the fat man by the collar scolded viciously, his left hand already raised. Su Junsheng's face turned pale, and he suddenly shouted, "Tonight! I will definitely return the money to you tonight!"
The fat man gently patted his rain-soaked cold face with his raised hand, and smiled sinisterly, "Just tonight, come to me with five hundred oceans or your sister." Su Junsheng's eyes widened and he nodded again and again, and his body kept shaking.
"If you don't come...... the slap on Su Junsheng's face is getting louder and louder, "By this time next year, I will definitely remember to burn some paper for you!"
"Yes, yes. Su Jun Sheng endured the pain and smiled flatteringly, "Thank you Fifth Master, thank you Fifth Master......" The fat man glanced at him disdainfully, and then led a group of men to leave. Su Junsheng collapsed to the ground with relief, raised his head and stared straight at the Su Mansion opposite, and after looking at it for a while, a light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Qingwan, big brother can only be sorry for you.
Twilight fell, but the rain did not stop. Today's Sioux House is different from the bustle of the past.
Su Qingwan walked down from the upstairs and saw that the table in the side hall was already full of food, she looked at the busy and laughing people in the side hall, and involuntarily stopped. A voice came from behind him, "Come on, take your seats." ”
Su Qingwan turned around and made a formal salute, "Big lady." Mrs. Su pulled her over to the side hall, "You girl is always so polite. ”
By the time they actually started to serve the table, it had already been a long time. Su Qingwan vaguely felt that Mrs. Su was a little different from her today, but she couldn't say what was different. Today can be said to be the Su family's family banquet, and she is inevitably a little uncomfortable.
"How is Jinqiu's life abroad?" a low, steady voice broke the silence. Su Qingwan raised her head and glanced at the person who spoke lightly, this was the second time she had seen Master Su.
The third aunt over there had already covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's good, I called at noon and said that I got a scholarship for the next semester." ”
Su Jingkun nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on his face, "Jinqiu, this girl has a future." The third aunt pursed her lips and smiled proudly. Mrs. Su also smiled and agreed, "It's not, Jinqiu, I've been smart since I was a child." Saying that, she seemed to suddenly remember something, "By the way, sir, Jinfeng's marriage has been set a date." Mrs. Su glanced at Su Jinfeng intentionally or unintentionally as she spoke, "It's the twentieth of next month." ”
Su Jinfeng ate expressionlessly.
"It's fine. Su Jingkun turned his head to look at Mrs. Su and instructed, "Jinfeng's matter, you have to worry too much." Mrs. Su chuckled and nodded, "That's nature." She paused for a moment, then leaned over a little, "Master, I have something else I want to ask for your opinion. ”
"What's the matter?" Su Jingkun glanced up at her. Mrs. Su's gaze stayed on Su Qingwan for a while before she slowly spoke, "Master, Qinghuan has been in our Su family for almost half a year, and she will be eighteen after the New Year, so it's time for her family to do business." ”
Su Qingwan's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and then lowered his eyes and was silent. Su Jingkun seemed to be quite interested, and asked Mrs. Su sideways, "Is there a suitable person?"
Mrs. Su shook her head, and after a while, she said as if tentatively, "But I heard that Qingwan and the second master of the Gu family are getting closer." ”
"Second Master of the Gu Family?" Su Jingkun frowned almost invisibly when he heard this, and turned his head to confirm, "Which Gu family?"
The third aunt in the room sneered too suddenly, and said sourly, "Isn't the master joking? In this Shanghai, there is only one famous Gu family." Saying that, he raised his eyes and skimmed Su Qingwan, "This family affair is really good." ”
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Su Jingkun had pressed the chopsticks on the table.
"I disagree. ”
Su Jingkun looked at Su Qingwan, his eyes were deep, but his tone was firm and powerful, unquestionable.
"You can give it to anyone, but Gu family, absolutely not. ”
