It has been raining a lot in Beiping in recent days, probably because August is approaching. It was gray for a long time, and there was rarely a bright time.

It was drizzling again this morning, and Chunsheng held an umbrella and walked slowly on tiptoe, looking up at the left and right sides from time to time. There was a lot of stagnant water on the ground, and the tips of her shoes were already half wet, and she couldn't help but complain a little in her heart, blaming it for the continuous rain, and many stores in Di'anmen had not opened.

One by one, the raindrops hit the umbrella, and the sound became denser and denser. Chunsheng frowned, quickened his pace and walked forward, and finally arrived after a corner. She shook the water from her umbrella sideways, and as soon as she stepped into the door of the shop with one foot, she heard the young man's voice ringing brightly.

"Yo! This isn't a spring girl, but she hasn't been here for a while. ”

Chunsheng smiled. "Recently, there have been a lot of things in the house, and I can't leave. ”

The young man welcomed her into the room and sat down, but he was very enthusiastic.

"Still the same?"

"Well, the same old way. ”

Chunsheng nodded, turned around and took the umbrella and continued.

"I also stopped by, my young lady has not had a good appetite recently. ”

The guy came over with a teapot and squinted at her with a grin as he poured tea into the cup.

"I heard that the second wife of your house has been doing business recently."

Chunsheng frowned unhappily when he heard this.

"I don't know about business. ”

The young man hurriedly smiled and immediately changed the conversation.

"Yes, yes, but the fourth lady's body is already weak, but you have to be careful, do you see the doctor?"

Chunsheng didn't want to say more, and waved his hand to chase him.

"Go and help, I'm in a hurry. ”

The young man didn't show any embarrassment on his face, smiled and nodded, and went down.

The rain was going to fall heavily, and Chunsheng looked out the door in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, the guy came over with a square thing wrapped in plain jute paper.

"Chunsheng girl. ”

Chunsheng came back to his senses and hurriedly reached out to take it, then took out some broken silver from his arms, picked out two small pieces and handed them to him. He smiled and took it, and then diligently picked up the umbrella at the foot of the table and walked to the door to put it up neatly. Chunsheng took it, bowed his head and said thank you, turned around and left.

There were no people on the street, and occasionally one or two looked impatient. Chunsheng walked silently, and when he returned to Su Mansion, he suddenly found that the rain had already stopped. She couldn't help laughing, shook her head, took the umbrella and entered the gate of Sufu, walked two steps and raised her eyes, but saw Xia Xiangzheng wandering back and forth in the courtyard with a restless expression.

Chunsheng shouted at her.

"Natsuka!"

Xia Xiang was stunned when she saw her, and hurriedly walked over and pulled Chunsheng to the remote corner on the right.

Chunsheng didn't know why, and asked with a smile.

"Xia Xiang, what's wrong?"

Xia Xiang's face was solemn, and after looking around at no one, she whispered to her.

"Chunsheng, the third young master of the Qi family is here again today. ”

Chunsheng's face changed when he heard this, and he snorted hatefully at the air with anger on his face.

"He wants to eat swan meat!"

Xia Xiang hurriedly pressed her arm, motioned her to be quiet, and didn't have time to say anything more to her, so she hurriedly instructed her.

"Hurry up and report to your young lady, I think the second wife is afraid that she will be hard-hearted this time. ”

Chunsheng sighed in annoyance.

"Okay, I'll go. ”

The West Courtyard was already on the outskirts of Su Mansion, and Chunsheng was in a hurry, and he arrived in a short time.

After the rain, the fresh scent of grass filled the entire courtyard, and the smell was only refreshing, and Chunsheng couldn't help but stand at the door and take a few more breaths before turning around and entering the house.

Su Qingwan was sitting in front of the window of the inner room reading a book, and when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and found that it was Chunsheng and asked.

"Second brother's letter is here?"

Chunsheng walked in and put the snack in his hand on the table before answering.

"No, the people at the post office said that the war in the south is tight these days, and I'm afraid it will be a few days late. ”

Su Qingwan nodded, looked at Chunsheng carefully, and smiled.

"Why are you running so fast, look at you are sweating. ”

Chunsheng pursed his lips and didn't smile.

"Miss, Xia Xiang said just now"

Su Qingwan stretched out her hand to pull her to sit down, and handed her another cup of tea.

"Don't worry, what did Xia Xiang say?"

Chunsheng raised his hand to hold the tea and said in an angry tone.

"Miss, that Young Master Qi is here again!"

Su Qingwan was stunned for a moment, but only turned around calmly, facing out the window and did not speak again.

The more Chunsheng thought about it, the more angry he became. "Miss, why don't we go to the third wife!

Su Qingwan shook her head gently.

"Chunsheng, wait a little longer. ”

Chunsheng didn't know what this wait meant, but she knew that Miss had been a person with ideas since she was a child, so she fell silent.

The room was quiet again, and Su Qingwan casually picked up the book she had just read and stroked it gently. The second brother has often sent her books in recent years, and she has read them one by one. Poetry, essays, novels, and even some of the latest foreign translations.

She thought that the hardest thing was time, but she didn't expect it to pass so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she and Chunsheng had lived with the third aunt for four years.

It seemed to be raining again outside the window, and the raindrops rattled the leaves.

Chunsheng saw her staring at the book sullenly, so he comforted her.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll go to the post office every day from now on. ”

Su Qingwan smiled, looked up and was about to answer, when he saw a person suddenly break into the house.

Chunsheng was also startled by this sound, and became even more unhappy when he turned around and saw who was coming.

"Miss Su, I'm here to hide from the rain, it's raining too much!"

The person who came was a young man about twenty years old, not tall, slightly fat, and stared straight at Su Qingwan with a smile on his face. Chunsheng got up to block his view, and pointed out the door with his left hand.

"Young Master Qi, there is an umbrella at the door. ”

Qi Wen walked over and pushed the Chunsheng Path away and sat down, raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qingwan and smiled.

"Miss Su, it's raining so hard, you can't bear to drive me away. ”

Su Qingwan didn't look at him, and his tone was light.

"Young Master Qi just broke in like this, didn't he completely ignore the four words of etiquette and discord. ”

Qi Wen let out a stupid dry cough, turned the teacup in his hand, glanced at Su Qingwan with restless eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth in a light tone.

"Qingwan, your second aunt has promised me. As soon as your fifteenth birthday this year passes, our family affair will be decided. ”

Chunsheng said anxiously beside him.

"Young Master Qi, it doesn't matter if the second wife said this alone!"

Qi Wen put down the teacup and looked at Chunsheng funny.

"Isn't it the second wife who is in charge of the Su Mansion?"

"And the third wife!"

Chunsheng said loudly with a strong momentum. Qi Wen smiled when he heard it.

"Third wife, it's so fresh, the third wife can't even take care of herself, how can she take care of you?"

Su Qingwan frowned unconsciously when she heard what he said, and Qi Wen stared at her tightly, her eyes full of schadenfreude.

"Qingwan, it turns out that you don't know, your uncompetitive eldest brother is causing trouble again. ”

Chunsheng didn't believe it yet, just thought he was scaring people.

"You, you!"

Qi Wen thought about it and nodded.

"Also, you naturally don't know about this, early this morning, your eldest brother drove into a subordinate of our Qi Mansion, isn't this still waiting in the patrol room. ”

Chunsheng was a little stunned and asked suspiciously.

"Isn't your second brother from the patrol room?"

Qi Wen raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly. "Yes. ”

"Then you go and talk about it, why don't you just release the eldest young master?"

Qi Wen sighed, and his words were directed at Chunsheng, but his eyes were fixed on Su Qingwan, who had been silent.

"But I have no reason, unless your young lady marries me. ”

Chunsheng understood, and scolded indignantly in a low voice.

"Despicable!"

Qi Wen was about to have a seizure, when he saw Su Qingwan looking up at the window, as if to remind him.

"Young Master Qi, the rain has stopped. ”

Qi Wen snorted coldly and finally lost his patience, got up and looked at her condescendingly, and left after a while.

"Su Qingxuan, I sue you, I have settled this family business!"
