Chapter 38

Chinese New Year's Eve is fast approaching, the streets are deserted, and most of the people have been reunited with their families, except for the homeless beggars.

On the General's Mansion, the maids and subordinates were busy arranging the meals for Chinese New Year's Eve, the second girl and Xiaohu both changed into new clothes, the two were chatting around Old Mrs. Chu, and Fang Su stood aside and watched them in a daze.

"What are you thinking?" Chu Yuntian suddenly appeared behind Fang Su, Fang Su glanced back at him, then turned his head and continued to stare at the second girl and Xiaohu who were playing in front of him, and said, "The stepmother looks very happy." ”

"Yes." Chu Yuntian nodded and stood beside Fang Su.

"She has always hoped that you can pass it on to the Chu family." Fang Su didn't dare to look at Chu Yuntian, he just stared at the front and said.

"Yes." Chu Yuntian nodded again, and then spoke: "It's a pity that you can't give birth to a child." ”

Fang Su was choked for a moment, and then said, "You can find a lady who can have children." ”

"I don't dislike you for not being able to have children." Chu Yuntian said leisurely.

Fang Su was speechless by what he said, and was silent for a while, before he replied sullenly: "Then I am really thankful." ”

"No thanks, this is for the husband." Chu Yuntian turned his head and smiled at Fang Su.

Fang Su also turned his head, stared at Chu Yuntian silently for a while, and said in his heart: "What a man," Fang Su sighed, "How did you become a, hey~"

Seeing Fang Su sighing, Chu Yuntian asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Su shook his head, this was Chu Yuntian took a jade pendant from under his waist, handed it to Fang Su and said, "This should be regarded as a New Year's gift for you." ”

Fang Su was a little surprised, he didn't realize at all that in this dynasty, they had to give gifts to each other during the New Year.

Fang Su was completely unprepared.

"Well, I didn't have any gifts for you." Fang Su touched his nose.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Yuntian handed over the jade pendant.

Fang Su pondered for a long time, analyzed the consequences of not accepting it, and decided to accept it.

Seeing that he took the jade pendant, Chu Yuntian was obviously in a much better mood.

Fang Su's eyes glanced at the red cloth head rope tied to the second girl's head, and he had an idea and walked to the second girl's side.

"Erya." Fang Su patted Erya's shoulder.

Erya reflexively saw that it was Fang Su, and happily threw herself into his arms, Fang Su smiled and touched her head.

Chu Yuntian, who was standing in the distance, frowned slightly, and a trace of imperceptible anger stained his eyebrows.

Fang Su pulled Er Ya out of his arms and asked softly, "Er Ya, how about you lend me the red cloth strip you used to tie your hair?" Uncle will send you a more beautiful one when the time comes. ”

Er Yate happily ripped off the red cloth strip on her head and handed it to Fang Su, Fang Su said with a smile: "Our second girl is really generous. ”

The little tiger next to him naughtily pulled Erya's long hair that was scattered, Erya shouted and chased after him, Fang Su looked at the two people who were happy in front of him, and shook his head with a smile, and then took out two broken silver from his pocket and wrapped them in red cloth.

He walked to Chu Yuntian's side and handed the wrapped silver to Chu Yuntian, "This should be regarded as the red envelope I gave you for the New Year, there is no gift, the red envelope still has to be prepared, take it." ”

Chu Yuntian looked at the broken silver he was wrapped in red cloth, and took it with an uncertain look.

At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone was full of laughter, and the second girl and Xiaohu kowtowed to the old couple of Chu and received two big red envelopes.

Chu Yuntian pulled Fang Su to kowtow, Old Lady Chu also took out a red envelope from her arms and stuffed it into Fang Su's hand, Fang Su happily took it, Chu Yuntian next to him frowned and said, "Mother did the partiality." ”

Old Madam Chu pretended to be stern and said: "How old are you, you are all married, what kind of red envelopes do you want." ”

Fang Su, who was also married on the side, raised his eyebrows proudly, Chu Yuntian looked at Fang Su's appearance, and said to his mother: "I understand what my mother means, I am married to Su'er, and if I give it to him, I will naturally give it to me." ”

Fang Su was stunned by his shameless appearance.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, fireworks began to be set off outside, the ancient people's atmosphere of keeping the New Year was still relatively strong, and it was a thick layer of snow outside, and two children who were not afraid of the cold rushed out to happily build snowmen.

A gust of cold wind blew in, Fang Su shrunk his neck, and Chu Yuntian walked up to him and draped him in a windbreaker.

"If it's cold, go back to your room first." Fang Su took his windbreaker, shook his head, and said, "It's not so squeamish, it's better to keep the year together as a family." ”

Chu Yuntian was in a good mood when his family said that he took Fang Su into his arms, but he didn't expect Fang Su's whole body to stiffen.

The two of them stood outside the hall outside, and the old couple were drinking tea around the brazier in the room, and they didn't know if they saw it, Fang Su struggled a little embarrassedly.

Chu Yuntian asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Su whispered, "It will be seen by your parents." ”

"What if you see it."

Fang Su looked at Chu Yuntian in front of him, pushed him away, and said seriously: "General Chu, it's useless for you to say these things to me, Old Madam Chu asked you to marry me in the first place, not to let you stay with a man for life, why is she not clear in your heart?" ”

"Oh?" Chu Yuntian raised his eyebrows, "Then tell me why my mother asked me to marry you." ”

Although Old Madam Chu told herself that she had communicated with the old fortune teller and took herself out of the Fang Mansion, Chu Yuntian must not have known, Fang Su thought for a while and said: "Marrying me is naturally to break the curse of your wife, and you will definitely marry a woman in the future to continue the incense for the Chu family." ”

"Who can guarantee that I will not harm her by marrying a woman?" Chu Yuntian asked rhetorically.

Fang Su was speechless when asked for a while, if he gave up the position of the general's wife, then the woman Chu Yuntian married next might be ......

"Yes, it won't." Fang Su said stiffly.

"Should?" Chu Yuntian walked a little closer, "What if you hurt a good girl for nothing?" ”

Fang Su couldn't answer for a while.

Chu Yuntian slightly controlled his tone and said, "Father and mother, you don't have to worry, I'll find an opportunity to explain it to them." ”

Hearing Chu Yuntian's words, Fang Su was like a bolt from the blue.

This is coming out!

Fang Su didn't think about it, so he stopped it.

"General Chu must not!"

"Why?"

Why, Fang Su wailed in his heart, if he sued the old couple Chu now, it would definitely be a chicken flying and a dog jumping.

"Can't you respect my thoughts!" Fang Su couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted in a suppressed voice.

"I don't love you, why should I spend my life with you, even if I am married and divorced, why should you make your own decisions for my future." Fang Su felt much more relaxed after saying what he had always wanted to say in his heart, and he entered the hall without looking at Chu Yuntian.

Chu Yuntian was left alone to stand in the corridor and think for a long time.

"That's what he thought." Chu Yuntian said in his heart: "Don't love me." Chu Yuntian looked at the red cloth strip in his hand, and then pulled it tightly, "It's not up to you to decide." ”

Old Chu and his wife were old after all, and in the second half of the night, Fang Su persuaded them to go to sleep.

Er Ya and Xiaohu had already been taken away by their subordinates early, and at this time, only Fang Su and Chu Yuntian were left in the hall.

Fang Su felt why he didn't want to be alone with Chu Yuntian, but as a result, the heavens just let them stay together.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuntian sat quietly on the side and drank tea, not wanting to talk to Fang Su at all.

Fang Su muttered in his heart, "Could it be that those words just now worked?" ”

On the one hand, he felt very happy, feeling that Chu Yuntian finally understood his thoughts, and on the other hand, Fang Su thought again, this Chu Yuntian said that he wanted to live with me for the rest of his life, and it seemed that he was just talking casually.

When it was almost dawn, the housekeeper in the house entered the hall to persuade Chu Yuntian to rest with Fang Su, Chu Yuntian looked at the sleepy Fang Su and nodded.

When Fang Su heard that he could go to sleep, he happily said a word of auspiciousness to the old housekeeper, and then walked towards his small courtyard, and Chu Yuntian followed behind.

When Fang Su was about to enter the courtyard, a ball of things suddenly pounced under his feet, and at this time, Fang Su was confused, and the sky was about to dawn, and he was frightened.

Chu Yuntian in the back hurriedly stepped forward.

Only then did Fang Su see clearly that the mass under his feet was not a thing, but a person.

A person Fang Su was very familiar with - Xiao Wu.

"You ......" Seeing Xiao Wu unkempt and covered in injuries in front of him, Fang Su didn't know what to say for a while.

"Young master, help me, help me." Xiao Wu hugged Fang Su's thigh.

Ding Sheng hurriedly went up to prepare to pull Xiao Wu away, he chased after Xiao Wu as soon as he found out that he had escaped, but he didn't expect Xiao Wu to know that he couldn't escape from the General's Mansion, so he actually hid in Fang Su's courtyard.

Xiao Wu hugged Fang Su's thigh and didn't let go, and kept shouting: "Young Master, save Xiao Wu, please." ”

Fang Su was originally soft-hearted, and he had always regarded Xiao Wu as his friend, so seeing him like this miserable at this time, he wouldn't care anywhere.

He carefully helped Xiao Wu up, patted him on the back and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Chu Yuntian gestured to Ding Sheng with his eyes, and Ding Sheng silently stepped aside.

Xiao Wu saw Chu Yuntian beside Fang Su, couldn't help but shudder, and hid directly beside Fang Su.

Seeing Xiao Wu's appearance, Fang Su was distressed and angry in his heart, he remembered that day Chu Yuntian swore to himself that Xiao Wu had betrayed him and ran away, but now everything that happened in front of him told him, things are not so simple.

"Come back to the house with me first." Fang Su whispered to comfort Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu nodded tremblingly.

Fang Su helped Xiao Wu to prepare to go to his house.

"Wait a minute." Chu Yuntian, who had not spoken, spoke: "It's too dangerous for you to be alone with him." ”

"Dangerous?" Fang Su sneered and said: "In this General's Mansion, who is in danger of your General Chu, my entourage is good with me, and now that it has become like this, General Chu will not sue me for not knowing it at all." ”

"He's Wen Shaojin's person." Chu Yuntian's face was hidden in the hazy night, and Fang Su couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"Wen Shaojin's people?" Fang Su asked rhetorically: "I am also Wen Shaojin's person, do you want General Chu to arrest us together and interrogate us together." ”

"Fang Su!" There was a hint of anger in Chu Yuntian's voice.

"If you want to arrest me, arrest me with him." After Fang Su said this, he took Xiao Wu back to his house.

Chu Yuntian stood outside the courtyard and asked in a calm voice, "How did he run out." ”

"A subordinate is derelict in his duties." Ding Sheng bowed his head and knelt beside Chu Yuntian.

Chu Yuntian glanced at him coldly and said, "I'll deal with you in the future, now you keep an eye on him for me, and I must not let Fang Su be alone with him." ”

"Yes." Ding Sheng answered, and then disappeared into the night.

Chu Yuntian frowned and clenched his fists.
