Chapter 229: Night Talk
At night, the high, dark sky is dotted with jewel-like stars.
Aftertaste lay on the bed, and Su Miao sat on the edge of the bed to apply him the most effective scald ointment for burns that Liang Duchan brought back to him.
"I thought you had a bad relationship with Liang Min." Su Miao said while applying scald medicine to him.
"It's bad." Aftertaste closed his eyes, lazily leaned on the bed, and said lightly.
"No, he's not coming to see you today."
"Even if you don't have to think about it, you know that he came to see Lin Yan." Aftertaste snorted nonchalantly.
"Really?" Su Miaoxiu raised her eyebrows, recalling Liang Min's actions when he came to inspect the flaw during the day, although he took the opportunity to come to see Lin Yan, but before leaving, he specially asked her a few words about the aftertaste burn, if he didn't really care, with Liang Min's character, he wouldn't ask. She glanced down at the aftertaste, although the aftertaste always said that Liang Min rejected and hated him, but he never said that he rejected and hated Liang Min, that is to say, he did not reject and hate Liang Min, he was just worried that Liang Min would reject and hate him, in other words, maybe he cared about Liang Min's opinion of the eldest brother.
Thinking of this, her beautiful eyebrows raised again, she already knew that Xiao Weiwei was actually a sullen person.
"What are you daydreaming again?" Sensing that her hand had stopped, he knew her too well to know on his knees that she must have fallen into a blind thought, he asked speechlessly.
"I'm not daydreaming." Su Miao came back to her senses, emphasized word by word, paused, and said with a smile. "But it's really funny, no matter how you say that you and Liang Min are also brothers, he has been married for ten years. You didn't even say to go and see his wife, Lin Yan has been in Su Ji for so long, and you didn't know that it was your sister-in-law until Liang Min came. ”
"Everything in the Rui Wangfu has nothing to do with me." Aftertaste emphasized indifferently, "My surname is Hui, his surname is Liang, that's it." ”
Su Miao raised her eyebrows and nodded. Again:
"Are you going to the birthday of the Marquis of Dong?"
"Dongping Hou, don't call it wrong, if it's in Liangdu. When it reaches the ears of those who have a heart, what Liang Du's gang like to do most when they are idle is to retaliate. "Aftertaste is a serious warning.
"Oh." Su Miao flattened her mouth and didn't care, "Are you going?" ”
"You want to go?" Aftertaste rhetorical question.
"I don't want to. But if you go. Naturally, I'm going to go too, in case you are hooked up by a young lady at someone's birthday banquet, the money I have spent on you for so many years will be in vain, and I can't afford to lose. Su Miao said seriously.
Aftertaste laughed, pinched her cheek with her backhand, and said with a smile:
"You're a cunning ghost!"
Su Miao slapped the hand on his face pinching her face, and asked with a smile:
"Who is Dongping Hou, will you go?"
"Dongpinghou and my father have a good relationship. He was also a colleague of my uncle, and he had a bit of a friendship with my mother. When I used to live in Liangdu, I often went to Huixianglou, and I was thinking about whether to go. Aftertaste lay down again and replied.
"Your second brother told you to go, even Xiaolinzi has to attend." Su Miao said, "Is the friendship really that good? ”
"He is my uncle's friend of life and death, and he is also my second brother's stepfather." Aftertaste replied lightly.
Su Miao nodded suddenly, Dongping Hou is the friend of Uncle Xiaoweiwei's life and death, that is, the friend of life and death of Hui Gan's biological father, and Hui Gan's father-in-law, no wonder Hui Gan is so concerned.
"It sounds like an important big man, why would such an important big man live in Suzhou, he should live in Liangdu, right?" Su Miao asked curiously.
"He is not used to the atmosphere of Liangdu, and coupled with his age, he simply resigned and came here to retire."
Su Miao thought for a long time and said, "Since you are a person who has a good relationship with your family...... Does he have a daughter? ”
"Of course, he has six daughters." Aftertaste didn't react to what she meant for a while, and answered honestly.
"Six daughters, and your family is a world friend, isn't there any one who wants to have some childhood sweethearts with you, fingertips for marriage or something?" Su Miao stared at him and asked coldly.
Aftertaste still didn't understand the meaning of her words, and replied honestly:
"Liang Min has made a baby kiss with the four girls of the Dongping Marquis Mansion, but unfortunately Liang Min's mother has always hoped that Liang Min will marry the girl of the Wei family, and she will be mixed with Huang for life."
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became unhappy: "So Xiao Linzi is not Liang Min's first love?" Xiao Linzi was abducted by Liang Min at the age of fourteen, I thought Liang Min had a soft spot for her, it turned out that the previous family affair was not completed and found Xiao Linzi again, abducting the good family Lori! ”
The corners of the aftertaste of his eyebrows twitched fiercely: "You think too much, the doll kiss is not the same as the initiative to propose, but for Lin Yan and Liang Min, he took the initiative to propose." ”
Su Miao pursed her lips, applied the medicine and didn't wrap the bandage again, the bandage during the day was afraid that he would wear out the wound by wearing clothes, and he didn't need to wear clothes at night, so that the wound could be more breathable to get better. Su Miao stood up and went to the basin in the corner of the wall to wash her hands, turned her head and asked:
"Liang Min seems to have taken root in Suzhou, how long will he stay in Liangdu?"
"It won't be long, if he doesn't go back in a few days, Lin Yan will be in danger." Aftertaste snorted and said lightly.
"Why?" Su Miao asked suspiciously.
"His mother beat Lin Yan for thirty boards in front of him, almost killing Lin Yan, this is a precedent, if Liang Min is disobedient, it will be Lin Yan who suffers." With a hint of disdain in his aftertaste, he leaned on the bed and replied lazily.
Su Miao couldn't help but shudder because of his gloomy tone, stunned: "Really fake? Xiao Linzi was beaten by Princess Rui, and Liang Min didn't do anything? ”
"What he dares to do, Lin Yan will only be more unlucky. Liang Min's mother is not an ordinary woman, the second brother said, Liang Min's mother wanted to be the most favored female official in the palace back then, Wenwen was weak and could not martial arts, but she was the youngest Si Zheng since the records of the Shanggong Bureau, and she was in charge of the punishment of the inner palace. ”
The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely. couldn't help but shudder: "Is it really that ruthless? ”
"I heard yes, I haven't seen her." Aftertaste closed his eyes and replied lightly.
Other words. Liang Min's mother is not a weak and weak housewoman who can only play tricks in her backyard, she was a female official when she was a girl, and her work is still a fight with a cool official who can invent punishments at will. The person who has been Si Zheng is not an ordinary person, so the question is, such a woman who is not simple, why would she tolerate the existence of aftertaste and aftertaste, and also watched Prince Rui move out of the prince's mansion to live in Huixianglou? On family background, on former occupation, on current identity. None of the aftertastes of the mother can win against Princess Rui, if Princess Rui's patience is because of the relationship between Prince Rui, I don't know why. Su Miao always felt that the reason was not this, she remembered that she once said in retrospect that even Prince Rui couldn't suppress Princess Rui.
"Has Princess Rui ever done anything to you?" Su Miao looked at the aftertaste and asked seriously.
"Nope." The aftertaste answers smoothly and naturally.
This is even stranger. Even ordinary housewomen. If there are too many female dependents, they will secretly do some intrigues, and the powerful Princess Rui has never done anything to the child in the outer room:
"Your mother...... What is her relationship with Princess Rui? She couldn't help but be curious and asked.
Aftertaste thought about it: "My mother grew up in the palace, and Princess Rui is the same, I don't know if they deny it, but when Princess Rui was the secretary, my mother was the secretary of the food bureau, and they both belonged to the sixth bureau and the twenty-fourth division." ”
Su Miao felt more and more strange. Aftertaste has sat up from the bed, and said indifferently:
"You're wondering why such a powerful princess Rui would turn a blind eye to my mother and me. Haven't done anything to us in years? Although my father mentioned those things in the past, but there must be hidden secrets in the past, my second brother said so. ”
"How would your second brother know?"
"Who knows, but before my mother adopted the second brother, he lived in the Ruiwang Mansion for a while."
"Ah, that's why he's so good with your eldest brother." Su Miao suddenly realized.
"Okay?" The corners of Aftertaste's mouth twitched fiercely, and she didn't know where her experience came from, "It's just ordinary, right?" ”
"I think they're very good." Su Miao said seriously, paused, and asked, "Then what did your mother never say to you?" ”
"No, she rarely speaks, and even if she doesn't speak for two or three days, it's not surprising." I don't think there's anything wrong with the aftertaste.
The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched sharply, and he sneered: "So you don't like to talk because of your mother?" ”
"I don't like to talk just because I don't have anything to say, and it has nothing to do with my mother." Aftertaste replied very seriously.
"Really?" Su Miao snorted twice.
At this moment, the closed door panel was gently knocked, Su Miao was stunned, and asked casually:
"Who?"
After two seconds of silence outside, Lin Yan's voice came softly:
"It's me, Miaomiao."
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Aftertaste, Aftertaste covered her mouth and yawned, turned over and covered herself with the quilt, and said lazily:
"Go ahead, be careful when you come back, and don't step on me when you climb up."
The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and she said speechlessly: "I won't climb up, you sleepwalk!" So saying, he walked to the door, opened the door and went out.
Aftertaste closed his eyes and smiled.
Su Miao walked out of the room with an aftertaste and brought the door. Lin Yan took a step back and stood at the door, half-hanging her head, with an embarrassed expression under the shadow of the lamp.
"What's the matter, you haven't slept at this hour?" Su Miao asked suspiciously.
Lin Yan hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Miaomiao, will you go to Dongpinghou's birthday banquet tomorrow?" ”
Su Miao was stunned for a moment and replied, "Not necessarily, I will only go if Xiaoweiwei goes, what?" ”
"Hui Gan said that I am still the princess of Rui Wangfu, I am in Suzhou, based on the number of etiquette, for the face of Rui Wangfu, for the face of my mother's family, I must also follow the prince to attend." Lin Yan lowered her head and whispered with reluctance.
As an active-duty noblewoman who has not yet been removed, Lin Yan's education compels her to make certain compromises, even if she is reluctant.
Su Miao didn't fail to understand this, so she asked:
"And what do you want to do?"
"The Dongping Marquis Mansion and the Ruiwang Mansion are world friends, and there are already people from the Dongping Marquis Mansion who know that I am in Suzhou, they think that I came with the prince, and they also invited me on the post to the prince, this time I am afraid I will not be able to hide." Lin Yan flattened her lips and said softly.
"So what?" Su Miao asked.
"Miaomiao," Lin Yan grabbed Su Miao's hands and begged, "You can go with me!" ”
Su Miao tilted her head and thought for a while, and replied: "I will naturally go to Xiaoweiwei, but even if I accompany you, I can't do anything, I am not good at the banquets of wealthy families in high society." ”
When Lin Yan heard that she was willing to accompany her, she was overjoyed, and when she heard her words clearly, she raised her head and looked at her frank face for a while:
"Even if you say that, there is no worry on your face that you are going to the banquet."
"Why should I worry?" Su Miao asked puzzled.
At this time, Lin Yan had a deep admiration for Su Miao's bravery and fearlessness.
"If only I had half of you." She looked at her, regretful, envious, self-pity, and sighed softly.
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and replied seriously: "You are you, no one can replace you; I am who I am, and no one can replace me. ”
Lin Yan was stunned, then looked at her and smiled.
At this moment, he saw a dark shadow hurriedly walking out of the courtyard along the verandah on both sides with the shadow of the lamp, Su Miao was slightly stunned, paused, and called out loudly:
"Chan'er, it's so late, where are you going?"
Su Chan's footsteps paused, and then replied without looking back: "Go out." ”
"Where?"
"Take a trip."
"When will you be back?"
"For a moment." Su Chan finished the last sentence without being salty, and the person had disappeared into the shadows.
"How old will this girl's rebellious period be?" Su Miao muttered speechlessly.
"Someone just said that someone was waiting for Chanchan at the door, let Chanchan go out." Lin Yan said.
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and muttered unhappily: "Who is so heartless, even if Chan'er's injury is no longer tight, she can't let her go out in the middle of the night to meet guests." With that, he turned around and walked to his room.
Lin Yan hurriedly followed her and asked, "Miaomiao, don't you worry, don't you go and see who is looking for Chanchan to go out?" ”
"Even if she's my sister, she has privacy. Besides, the one who went out with her should be worried. Su Miao said in her mouth, pushed open the door and entered the house.
Su Chan walked along the path to the gate of Yuanrong Garden, was guided by the porter, went out and turned right, and sure enough, under the wall, she saw a small man kicking stones with his hands in his trouser pockets. She walked over and asked with a blank face:
"What did you call me out for?"
Ning Le glanced at her face, which was flatter than a washboard, a little overwhelmed, hesitated for a while, took out a bag of sugar twist flowers from her arms, and stuffed it into her hand:
"Give!" (To be continued......)
