Seven years later.

March 26.

Liang Du.

Baikui Building, which had been operating in Nanguanfang in the inner city for more than ten years, finally failed to withstand the impact of the newly opened Yipin/Lou on the same street for three years a year ago, and declared bankruptcy, and then Baikui Building was purchased by unknown people, and after a year of renovation and decoration, it became more luxurious than before.

Judging from the appearance, the bought Baikui Building should still be a restaurant in the future, and the plaque on the restaurant has been replaced and covered with a red cloth, which is a sign of the upcoming opening, but I don't know who the owner of the new restaurant is.

People in Nanguanfang have speculated that the owner of the new restaurant should be a foreigner, because everyone in the city has guessed it, but none of them are any, and some people familiar with the matter said that a horse-drawn carriage loaded with a lot of luggage was seen unloading in front of the restaurant on the night of a month ago, and it should have been moved from other places.

In short, this restaurant, which is probably the most luxurious restaurant in the city, has become the most concerned existence in Nanguanfang, and has become a topic of discussion after dinner.

Midday.

When the sun is at its warmest.

People passing by the door of the restaurant were surprised to find a small figure outside the closed door, which triggered a new wave of heat.

A little doll of six or seven years old, with her feet crossed, sat on the steps in front of the door with her feet crossed. The skin is as white as snow, tender as if it can pinch out the water, the half-length hair is not enough to reach the horns, it hangs straight on the shoulders like satin, the hair is like dyed ink, black and soft, and the round face is more and more pink and moist, like an apple, which is very flattering, and the heart of the person who sees it is itchy, and he can't wait to go up and bite hard, and bite down two rows of tooth marks on the white and tender little face.

The little doll was wearing a sky blue robe and black leather boots, and because of the warm and cold weather, he also put on a golden shoulder with white rabbit fur on the cuffs. He rested his elbows on his thighs, rested his chin with his hands, flattened his rosy mouth, and stared blankly at the people who came and went in the street with a pair of large, round black eyes.

Because he was expressionless, no one could usually see that he was bored and impatient at this time, because he couldn't see his impatience, so someone would come forward to talk to him.

Two young women passing by stopped in front of him, looking at his lovely little face, their eyes shining, and motherly love overflowing:

"What a cute little girl, she looks so smart!"

Su Xiaowei's face darkened, but unfortunately because he was expressionless, the other party didn't see it.

"This little girl is really handsome, and when she grows up in the future, she must be a big beauty!" The older woman smiled and complimented, took out a piece of sugar cake wrapped in paper from the basket on her arm, and handed it over, "Come, little girl, this is for you, sugar cake, it's sweet!" ”

Su Xiaowei looked at her with a pair of big eyes, expressionless and angry, he was not a little girl, he hated sweets the most, if he wasn't too lazy to speak, he would definitely question them loudly:

"Do you two aunts have a problem with their heads, and they can't even tell the difference between men and women?"

Maybe God understood that he didn't like to talk, so he sent someone over and said his psychological words, and his immature but clear voice sounded behind himself:

"Two aunts, how old are you to look at it, Hui Tuan he is a man, not a woman!"

Su Xiaowei turned his head and saw a "mud monkey" walking towards him, and immediately moved his butt in disgust and moved away from him.

The child who came from behind was by no means an exaggeration to say that he was a "mud monkey", with mud on his face, mud on his hands, mud on his clothes, and mud on his shoes. The feet are small, but they want to walk with heroic steps behind their backs, which looks a little weird. He stepped forward, stretched out his hand stained with black clay, took the sugar cake from the woman's hand, tore off the wrapper, took a big bite, and then said to the woman who gave the sugar cake in a vague voice:

"Thank you, Auntie."

Su Xiaowei continued to support her cheeks, glanced at the two aunts who were scared away by the sudden appearance of the "mud monkey", and then glanced at Wen Cai, who was covered in mud but sat down beside him, while thinking in her heart, didn't Wen Cai Niang tell him not to eat what strangers gave, and moved her butt in disgust.

He seemed to see Aunt Chun screaming after discovering that Wen Cai was covered in mud, and then chased her son all over the yard and beat him.

Wen Cai is half a year younger than Su Xiaowei, Wen Cai's father is doing editing in the Hanlin Academy, and it is said that he may enter the cabinet next year, anyway, he is a very powerful official. Wen Cai Niang is Su Xiaowei Niang's cousin, she has been helping out of Su Xiaowei Niang's restaurant before leaving the cabinet, as well as Su Ji's shares, she has been a housewife for a few years after leaving the cabinet, this year Su Ji Pin Xian Lou is stationed in Liangdu, Wen Cai Niang saw that Wen Cai was also older, so she planned to return to Su Ji and assist Su Xiaowei's aunt in Su Ji to do administrative work.

Wen Cai Niang has great expectations for Wen Cai, hoping that he will study hard and be a more powerful official than his father in the future, and specially named him "Wen Cai", but unfortunately Wen Cai hates reading the most, and he has not even memorized the "Three Character Classic" until now, Su Xiaowei wants to use Wen Cai's IQ, it is estimated that when he is admitted to Xiucai, he will also die soon.

"Hey!" Wen Cai ate a piece of cake in three bites, and stabbed Su Xiaowei with his elbow full of mud, Su Xiaowei dodged in disgust, Wen Cai was used to his love for clean stinky problems, and he didn't care, he spread his left hand, and there was a dirty box in the palm of his hand, "Show you good things!" He said with a smug look on his face, pulling the lid open.

Lots and lots of sea worms writhing around in the box, and it was disgusting to look at.

Su Xiaowei moved her ass in disgust again.

Wen Cai didn't notice it, and said excitedly: "I found the nest of sea insects by the sea, dug a jar, and this box." ”

Su Xiaowei thought to himself that you just went to the beach to dig a sea worm, how did you get a muddy back, but he didn't bother to ask, this stupid guy fell into the mud pit again when he came back.

"I'll take you to see that big can, let's catch fish tomorrow, shall we?" Wen Cai finally said the point, and looked at Su Xiaowei with expectant little eyes.

Su Xiaowei glanced at him, stood up silently, turned around, and left.

Wen Cai was unwilling, followed behind him, and kept persuading him to go fishing.

Su Xiaowei walked into the backyard of the restaurant along the side door, and listened to Wen Cai's persuasion of "fishing is fun" over and over again, and he wanted to roll his eyes very much.

At this moment, a scream of "ah" came from the kitchen, which startled the two of them, and the scream was very familiar, as if it was Aunt Chun's.

Then I heard Wen Cai say "Oh no, sea worm", turned around, and ran out.

Su Xiaowei glanced at him with disdain, thinking to herself that you don't change places when you hide things, you hide in the kitchen every time, are you stupid?

Just thinking about it, I saw Chun Niang coming out of the kitchen in a rage, and as soon as she shouted "Tuan'er", Su Xiaowei pointed to the side door, and betrayed Wencai without feeling guilty at all.

He hates fishing.

Chun Niang went with a rolling pin.

Wen Cai rushed to the door and immediately found the savior, two young men in official uniforms walked in with a smile, handsome eyebrows, elegant and elegant, only to hear one of them say:

"Ning Le is almost there, right?"

"It should be soon, it's inconvenient to drag the family with him after all, and the child is small, it is estimated that he will have to wait a few more days, I listened to the meaning of his letter, this time he still wants to go to the place, and he doesn't want to stay in Liangdu."

"People have their own aspirations, maybe he feels more comfortable in the local area than Liangdu." After a moment of silence, the clerk said.

Then I heard a pig cry: "Daddy, help! ”

The clerk only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and a "mud monkey" rushed to him, hugged him like a monkey, and rubbed his official uniform full of mud spots.

The clerk was dumbfounded and speechless.

Su Yan almost laughed, pursed his lips and asked, "Ah Yan, shouldn't you fall into the mud pit again?" ”

Wen Cai didn't answer, seeing his mother chasing after him with a rolling pin, he yelled, hugged the document tightly and called "Dad, help".

Chun Niang had already grabbed him by the collar and dragged him off the paperwork, with a black face, crackling and beating, and said while beating:

"It's useless to call your ancestor today! Stinky boy, the clothes you just wore in the morning made a muddy body, and your father was covered in mud! I asked you to recite the "Three Character Classic" in the room, but you sneaked out for me to dig up sea worms! Fishing? You're a little bit, are you fishing or fishing fishing? I've said a few times that you're not allowed to go to the beach, but you take my words as a deaf ear, don't you? If I don't give you a memory today, I won't be your mother! ”

Then I heard Wen Cai crying wolf howl.

Su Xiaowei retracted her head from behind the wall, pursed her lips, and walked towards her room while thinking that it was really miserable.

"Tuan'er."

His uncle called him from behind.

Su Xiaowei stopped, turned around, and looked straight at Su Yan, which could be regarded as calling "uncle".

Su Yan was used to it, touched his head, and asked with a smile:

"Did you hang out with Ah Yan too?"

Su Xiaowei shook his head.

Su Yan was relieved, and still instructed: "If you are not accompanied by an adult, you are not allowed to go to the beach." ”

Su Xiaowei nodded slowly, he didn't like the sea.

"Here's it for you." Su Yan handed him a pony toy made of wood that would never fall over.

Su Xiaowei's eyes lit up, took it, and finally spoke, saying:

"Thank you, uncle." He was too lazy to speak, but he was a good boy with good manners.

Su Yan rubbed his head, turned around, and went to his room.

Su Xiaowei stared at his back, except for his father, Su Xiaowei's favorite is his uncle, who is very gentle, unlike the second uncle who always teases him and always calls him "Su Xiaowei". When he was in his hometown, his uncle only lived outside when he was a county magistrate in Changle Town, and he has been living at home since he was promoted to Fengzhou Governor three years ago.

Su Xiaowei thought to herself, she would probably not move out until her uncle married her aunt, Su Xiaowei hoped that her uncle could always live at home, but he also hoped that his uncle could marry him an aunt, but every time his grandmother and grandmother proposed to let his uncle marry his daughter-in-law but were refused, when he knocked on crutches and scolded his uncle for being "unfilial", his uncle just laughed and didn't speak, and then the third aunt would tell him:

"Your aunt hasn't been born yet."

Su Xiaowei thought that if his aunt was younger than him, he would definitely be very troubled.

The wind was blowing, Su Xiaowei ran back to his house with the pony in his arms, closed the door, sat at the table and drank two sips of water, glanced at the fox who was comfortably lying on the table to take a nap, took a wooden comb from the side, supported his cheek with one hand, and combed the fox for a while.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a woman who looked ninety percent like him walked in with a plate and said to him with a smile:

"Su Xiaowei, are you hungry, my mother made you fried buns!"

Su Xiaowei looked at the fried buns placed in front of her, and then looked at her mother sitting beside her, but did not speak.

Only his mother in the world will call him "Su Xiaowei", and his second uncle, who always teases him with his name, is selectively ignored by him, he hates the name "Su Xiaowei", and feels that it is too tasteless, which seriously affects his image of a cool bully, but his mother likes it, and he is uncomfortable if he doesn't call this name for a day, which makes Su Xiaowei very depressed.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to eat fried buns, my mother made it for you, eat it quickly! Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Miao pushed the plate in front of him and said with a smile.

Su Xiaowei stared at the plate and didn't speak.

"You're not hungry? It's noon, and if you're not hungry, you have to eat, otherwise you won't grow tall. Su Miao said.

Su Xiaowei didn't speak.

"You don't want to eat?"

Su Xiaowei still didn't speak.

Su Miao smiled dryly, dumbfounded.

Although she is Su Xiaowei's mother, she is not a roundworm in his stomach, and she really doesn't know what he is thinking if he doesn't speak. This child obviously has the same face as her, but his temperament is exactly the same as his father's, taciturn, expressionless, picky, and clean, fortunately not a road idiot.

When she first learned to speak, Su Miao almost thought that this kid was a mute, but fortunately he could speak. Liang Jin said that this child's temperament and personality are exactly the same as when he was a child, and he also made Su Miao ask for more blessings.

What the hell is self-blessed?

"Su Xiaowei, you have to speak well!" Su Miao educated seriously.

Su Xiaowei just didn't speak.

Su Miao looked at the face that was ninety percent similar to herself, her heart softened again, she made a bitter face, touched his head, and said helplessly: "You kid, obviously have the same face as me, why don't you follow me at all, but are exactly the same as your father, like a gourd with a sawed mouth, your father is still talking now, if you grow up and don't speak, my mother will definitely cry to death!" ”

"What nonsense?" A pleasant male voice sounded from outside the door, and Hui Wei came in from outside with a ball of dried clothes, threw it on the bed, walked over, picked up Su Xiaowei who was sitting on the stool, and said with a smile, "Tuan'er, you can't talk well again?" Didn't Dad tell you, you have to talk to your mother well, otherwise your mother will be too pitiful. ”

Wretched?

Su Miao's head is full of black lines, this father and son!

Su Xiaowei flattened her red mouth, stared at the aftertaste, and didn't say a word.

Aftertaste looked at him for a while, touched his little head, and said with a smile:

"Your mother likes to call you 'Su Xiaowei', isn't it nice to say the name 'Su Xiaowei'?"

Su Xiaowei looked at him.

"Okay, okay, you're six years old, you're sixty years old, and you're also your mother's 'Su Xiaowei'!" Aftertaste rubbed his hair and said with a smile, "Tuan'er, today is your mother's birthday, don't be willful, talk well." Your mother made you fried buns, hurry up and eat them, it'll be cold in a while! ”

Su Xiaowei looked at him, but still didn't speak.

"Huh? Don't want to eat, didn't you say you wanted to eat yesterday? "Aftertaste said.

“……”

"Dad is not free today, I will make you a lion's head tomorrow." There is only one person talking in the whole process.

Su Xiaowei puffed out his face and looked at him.

"Tuan'er, no......"

Su Miao couldn't bear it anymore, her hand slapped on the table, making a snapping sound, she blackened her face, and said loudly to the father and son who looked at it together:

"You two, don't communicate with brain waves! Su Xiaowei, you speak well to me! Where are you not satisfied with the name I gave you, 'Su Xiaowei' is not much better than 'Hui Tuan', it is cute and novel, you are the only one in the whole Yue Liang Kingdom who has this name, what are you dissatisfied with? Also, why do you want to eat a lion's head, your father makes it better than mine? Obviously, I made it better than him! ”

Su Xiaowei looked at Huiwei, and after looking at Su Xiaowei, the two of them looked at each other dumbfounded.

Su Miao's hand slapped on the table, startling the two of them.

"I said, it's forbidden to communicate with brain waves at home! Why don't you all sit down and eat for me, what time is it? Su Miao said with a dark face.

"Yes!" Aftertaste responded obediently, hugged Su Xiaowei and sat down quickly.

"Yes!" Su Xiaowei also spoke, and responded tremblingly. It's true that he likes his mother very much, but in his opinion that he likes to be quiet, his mother is indeed a little noisy sometimes; He doesn't like his mother to call him "Su Xiaowei", but his mother's fire is more terrible than a ghost, and his mother's love is good for anything.

Su Miao saw the two of them sitting down and eating steamed buns obediently, she was satisfied, smiled, clasped her arms with her hands, nodded, and said with a smile:

"Yes, you two have to eat it!"

"Why do you put cucumbers in buns?" Su Xiaowei asked with a wrinkled face.

"Cucumbers are good things, children can't be picky eaters, there are only four of them with cucumber stuffing on this plate," Su Miao taught with a smile, "But you can't throw what you don't like into your father's bowl." ”

"Mother, I want to eat pudding, the kind that is not sweet." Su Xiaowei said with a flat mouth.

Su Miao looked at this little face that looked exactly like herself, responded with a smile, and replied very gently:

"Mother will make it for you at night."

Su Xiaowei nodded obediently.

Aftertaste smiled and touched his little head.

……

Just after lunch, Liang Jin and Hui Xiang came, along with Hui Gan and Wei Zhen, with the two children at home, and Liang Shuo, who had just returned from Ningcheng.

After Liang Shuo's abdication, he has been staying in the suburban palace to live a comfortable life of raising flowers and birds, but this life has been boring for too long, so after he met Su Chan on the way to Liangdu last year, he temporarily decided to travel with Su Chan. But because the place where Su Chan went was too strange, he regretted it after going to Liang Shuo, and when he came back this time, he vowed never to travel with Su Chan again.

Liang Jin likes Su Xiaowei the most, and it is not enough to hug Su Xiaowei and kiss her.

Su Xiaowei ate and drank to his heart's content, and didn't speak again, just stared at Liang Jin with a pair of big eyes, saw that Liang Jin was full of black lines, touched his head and said to him with a smile:

"Tuan'er, grandpa doesn't have your father's ability, you don't say grandpa doesn't know what you want."

Su Xiaowei actually didn't want anything, he just felt a little noisy. Grandpa's verbosity has a fight with his mother, and the cousin of the second uncle's family keeps calling him "Su Xiaowei". These two people are really the biological sons of the second uncle, and they always take pleasure in provoking him, and after a long time, he doesn't even bother to get angry, but these two guys are endless, and he has to force him to be angry.

Hui Zhou and Hui Fan like to make Su Xiaowei angry very much, because Su Xiaowei's expression when he is angry is quite cute, and the two of them laugh and tease him.

Su Xiaowei felt that they were all sick.

Struggling to get off the ground from his grandfather's arms, Su Xiaowei quickly climbed onto his grandmother's knees and let his grandmother hold him.

In the eyes of outsiders, the grandmother who covers her face all the year round in black is a bit scary, and even the two cousins who have been living with her grandmother are a little afraid of her, but Su Xiaowei likes grandma the most, because grandma rarely speaks, Su Xiaowei can be in a daze with her and don't need to speak.

Huixiang hugged Su Xiaowei.

Huizhou and Huifan didn't dare to tease him anymore, and stayed aside honestly.

"This kid!" Liang Shuo saw Su Xiaowei's careful thoughts, and rubbed his head with a smile.

Su Xiaowei shook his head vigorously to prevent Liang Shuo from messing with his hairstyle.

The lobby of Su Ji Pin Fresh Building.

Su Chan couldn't understand why she had just returned from Longli, and today was a good day for her birthday, so why she was forced to wipe the floor in the lobby and do coolies. As soon as the rag fell, she stood in front of Su Xian, who was sitting on the stairs reading the letter, and asked with a dark face:

"Why should I mop the floor on my birthday?"

"It's just that you don't come home for three years." Su Xian raised her eyebrows, looked at the letter that Lin Yan asked Su Chan to bring back, said coldly, paused, and said, "I really admire Lin Yan, she has adopted six children, and she can manage it." How do you see her doing? ”

"Didn't she ask me to bring you a cart of mink, she has been doing fur trading for the past two years, and it seems to be quite profitable." Su Chan said that when she went to Longli, she specially visited Lin Yan, maybe it was really a physical problem, Lin Yan still did not give birth to a child, but she and Liang Min have adopted their sixth child, and the family is unrestrained in Longli and lives very freely.

Su Xian nodded.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Su Xian glanced at the closed door of the restaurant and said:

"Who, I don't know how to go through the side door!"

There was another knock on the door.

"Open the door." Su Xian instructed Su Chan.

"I'm not going!" Su Chan gave her a blank look, twisted the rag and continued to wipe the floor.

Su Xian snorted, thinking that she would roll her eyes after being outside for a long time, she slowly stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door when the knock sounded again.

"Mother!" The little baby with pink makeup smiled like a flower and shouted at her crisply.

Su Xian smiled: "Che'er." He took the little boy from his father's arms and held him in his arms.

Outside the gate, the man with a lofty spirit asked her to take her son over in a bit of a hurry, and he was holding two big gift boxes under his arms.

"You'd better take the box first."

Su Xian glanced at him: "Why don't you come in through the side door?" ”

"I don't know where the side door is!" Liang Chang said angrily.

"Right next to it." Su Xian said, "Close the door." ”

"It's nothing when it's on." Liang opened his mouth and said, but he still listened to her words and closed the door.

"It's not open yet, what's the matter with the door open." Su Xian said.

Liang Chang was too lazy to say more, and when he saw Su Chan wiping the floor in the lobby, he called out "third sister" with a smile, which gave Su Chan goosebumps.

Liang Chang handed one of the gift boxes in his hand to Su Chan, obviously, it was a birthday gift.

"Xie, brother-in-law Xie." Su Chan said dryly.

Liang Chang smiled.

Su Chan is not often at home, so she doesn't know much about what is going on with the eldest sister and Liang Chang, she originally thought that the two of them had already finished playing, but when she went home three years ago, she accidentally saw Liang Chang at home.

According to the second sister, the eldest sister who just returned to Fengzhou that year was like a different person, she didn't play anymore, she didn't buy anything, she began to meddle in the administrative work of the restaurant, and she was like a fish in water, and in the end, Su Miao simply handed over all the administrative work to Su Xian.

A year passed like this, and a year later, Liang Chang, who had no contact for a long time, suddenly appeared in Fengzhou, he originally went to Suzhou on a business trip, but he didn't know why he went to Fengzhou, and then, the two of them got back together, and then they tossed for seven years.

In the past seven years, most of the time has been separated, the two have broken up a total of six times, almost once a year, Liang Chang will have the news of getting married almost every year, and once Princess Wen is almost finalized, it is almost a gift, but this marriage did not work out in the end.

Two years ago, Liang Chang, who had been hesitating between whether to be a princess or a lover, finally made up his mind and completely gave up marrying a concubine and having children like an ordinary prince, and said to Su Xian when she was unexpectedly pregnant:

"Give birth to the baby."

So Liang Che was born.

Before the child was born, Su Xian and Liang Chang agreed on three chapters: although the first child was surnamed Liang, he was not on the genealogy for the time being, and when the child grew up, he chose whether to go to the genealogy level to become the son of King Wen; Second, if Liang Chang wants to be with other women in the future, he must break up with Su Xian peacefully and never appear in front of Liang Che again; Third, it can be discussed, but Liang Chang can't use an arrogant attitude to force their mother and son to change their lives.

Liang Chang felt that Su Xian didn't believe him, he obviously made such a big decision for her, but she only thought he was talking casually, so he had a big fight with Su Xian, but in the end he couldn't agree.

In Liang Chang's heart, he was looking forward to Liang Che's birth, but because Su Xian was working in Su Ji Pinxian Building, Su Ji was in Fengzhou at that time, Su Xian refused to leave her job and move to Liangdu, Liang Chang could only run hard at both ends of Liangdu Fengzhou, and he couldn't see his son a few times a year.

However, he heard that Su Miao had plans to expand to Liangdu, after all, Su Ji had spread all over Qin'an Province, if she wanted to expand her business and leave Qin'an, the first market to attack would definitely be Liangdu. He looked forward to it for almost two years, and secretly used a lot of means, until this year, he finally looked forward to their mother and son.

In the next step, he had to find a way to get Su Xian to agree to live in the palace with him, otherwise even if she promised to let her son live in the palace of Wen, she wouldn't go, what would it matter if he lived in the palace with his son pitifully, and he was not widowed.

"Brother Tuan'er!" Liang Che saw Su Xiaowei with a head poking out of the back door, called happily, and when Su Xiaowei turned around and wanted to run, he stumbled over and hugged Su Xiaowei's thigh.

Su Xiaowei was expressionless in disgust, why is this family full of boys, what he wants is obviously his sister! Younger sister!

Liang Chang handed the rest of the gift box to Su Miao, who came over later.

Su Miao smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law." ”

Liang Chang smiled.

Liang Shuo likes Liang Che very much, and has always said that this child is smart and benevolent, and he will definitely have a great future in the future.

Because of the matter of Liang Chang and Su Xian, many old ministers have gone to the palace to cry and complain to Liang Shuo, saying that His Royal Highness King Wen is not doing his job properly, and he is not serious about marrying a wife and having children, so he knows that he is messing around with unruly women, and he also got out of an illegitimate child.

Liang Shuo thought to himself that even if there were women and illegitimate children, it was indeed unseemly, but this had something to do with Jiangshan Sheji, but he was too emperor and couldn't speak without a level, so he said, Lao Tzu has abdicated, and he can't control these mundane things, you go to King Wen and his eldest brother.

The old ministers who were sent away had no choice but to go to King Wen and his eldest brother, that is, the current emperor to cry. The first few times the emperor was good-tempered, but in the end, the good-tempered emperor was impatient, thinking that my brother's woman's affairs have something to do with me, you are looking for me, and angrily warned the people of Yushitai not to take care of other people's private affairs, and to take care of more serious things that are really useful to Jiangshan Sheji.

So, although everyone talked about it in private, there was no more trouble in front of the emperor, and Liang Xiao and Liang Gu benefited at the same time, since Liang Chang's matter subsided, no one dared to care about the fact that these two people were not married when they were old, Liang Xiao and Liang Gu were happy to be at ease.

As night fell, there was another knock on the door.

There was only Su Chan in the hall, Su Chan had to open the door by herself, and after the door opened, a noble man in a black cloud brocade robe came into view, which made her stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you in a year, and this is the first thing I said?" Liang Ao said with a smile, stuffed the gift box in his hand into her arms, and stepped in, "I ran for another year, in this year, have you met the man you like?" ”

"Huh?" Su Chan had a "you are sick" expression on her face.

"You are twenty-seven today, your second sister's son is six years old, your eldest sister's son is two years old, but you don't even have a man, I think you are pitiful." Turning around, he looked at her and said with a smirk.

"You me! You're almost forty, and you don't have a wife! Su Chan snorted from her nose.

"Am I like you?"

"What's the difference?" Su Chan retorted unconvinced.

Sometimes Su Chan also feels strange, Liang Ao obviously has no feelings for the former Princess Wu, and his son who has been sick died of illness in the year Su Chan left Liang Du, it stands to reason that in such a situation, he should continue soon, right? Everyone in the world knows that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the status of His Royal Highness King Wu was equivalent to the status of King Rui and Emperor Taishang, such a status, such an identity, it is impossible to say that he will not continue to marry a concubine and pass on the lineage, but for seven years, no matter how people urge, Liang Ao has never remarried.

Only Liang Ao himself knew that deep down, he was waiting

Alone.

It's not that he deliberately waits, it's just that a person is firmly entrenched in his heart, and he hasn't met the person who can completely erase the person who is entrenched in his heart.

So he was waiting, waiting for either that person to turn back when he was tired, or someone to appear who could erase the figure in his heart.

However, the person who can erase the figure should not exist, he thought.

"What are you doing?" Su Chan saw him staring at herself, her eyes were a little disgusting, she got goosebumps and asked.

Liang Ao smiled, shook his head, and asked, "How do you feel about going out with my father?" ”

Su Chan remembered that Liang Shuo had a lot of things to do along the way, and he had brought so many guards, which seriously affected her itinerary, she shook her head and said, "I won't go with him next time." ”

Liang Ao lost his smile and was about to speak, but at this moment, the knock on the door sounded again, Su Chan went to open the door, and when she saw the gorgeously dressed dwarf standing at the door of the restaurant, she turned around, walked to the back door, and shouted at the courtyard:

"Second sister, someone is looking for you!"

Su Miao walked to the door with a puzzled face, and the little dwarf who appeared in front of her made her disgusted:

"What are you doing?"

The person who came was Tong Changsheng, the owner and chef of a product/floor on the same street.

"People who say they will never come to Liangdu, they actually come to Liangdu quietly to rob me of business, say one thing and do another, don't you feel embarrassed?" Tong Changsheng asked with disdain.

"You care about me!" Su Miao rolled her eyes and replied to him with three words.

"Give Fengzhou to your apprentice who shuddered as soon as he cooked, and you are not afraid that Su Jiquan in your hometown will go out of business?"

"Don't worry, my apprentice is better than you now." Su Miao asked with a disgusted face, "What are you doing here?" ”

"You and I want to come!" Tong Changsheng said angrily, stuffed the big box in his hand to her roughly, and said in a stiff tone, "This is sent from the country of Kosi!" ”

Then he turned and walked away.

Su Miao saw him coming and going in a hurry, flattened his mouth, and looked down at the box in his arms, lace, butterfly ribbons, at first glance, it was a product of the Kosi country, and the gift sent from the Kosi country must have been Tong Ran.

Tong Ran went to Kosi Country and often sent letters or gifts to Su Miao, if it weren't for Su Miao knowing that the two of them had a grudge, she would still think that their relationship was so deep and beautiful that he could still send things to himself every once in a while across the sea and in the case of extremely underdeveloped transportation.

Su Miao has been praying that Tong Ran can find a person who can toss him on the spot in Kosi, so that he doesn't have to toss her across the sea.

Maybe God heard her prayer, this matter actually had an eyebrow two years ago, Tong Changsheng told her that Tong Ran met a girl named "Saro" who opened a restaurant in the south of Kosi before, and the girl fell in love with Tong Ran at first sight, and ran around chasing Tong Ran, insisting that Tong Ran marry her, no, yes, Tong Ran to marry her.

Of course, Tong Ran was unwilling, but I heard that the girl had followed Tong Ran from the south of Kosi to the capital of Kosi, and opened a southern restaurant in the capital.

In short, Su Miao sincerely hoped that the girl could work hard to get Tong Ran as soon as possible, so that Tong Ran would not harass her every once in a while and threaten her family harmony.

The gift was put away by her before it was opened, so as not to be seen by Xiao Weiwei, which was another trouble.

I really received a lot of gifts today, and a lot of them were sent in the palace in the morning, and then Jing'an Wangfu gave Su Chan a copy, and by the way, I also gave her a copy, and then I couldn't accept it, and the gift giver sent by the person who learned the news almost broke through the threshold, and there were people knocking on the door when I was having dinner.

After dinner, Su Xian washed the dishes in the kitchen alone.

The restaurant has just been renovated, and the guys have not been hired yet, Su Miao and Su Chan both have birthdays, and Su Chan has already wiped the floor all afternoon, so Su Xian took over the work of washing dishes.

It's just that she was washing, and Liang Chang came in, which made her stunned for a moment.

The gentleman stayed away from the cook, not to mention that Liang Chang, whether he was a man or a prince, belonged to the kind of person who wanted to save face, so he suddenly ran into the kitchen, Su Xian couldn't cry or laugh.

"Why did you get to the kitchen, Che'er?"

"Second brother is looking at it." Liang Chang replied, glanced around, he had never entered the back kitchen of the restaurant, this was the first time he entered, it was extremely spacious, but there was no place to sit, he had to walk to her and stand, and when he saw that the cooking table was very clean, he leaned his back on it and looked at her side face.

Su Xian ignored him and continued to wash the dishes.

Liang Chang stared at her for a while and asked, "When are you moving to King Wen's Mansion?" ”

"What are you moving there for?" Su Xian didn't have any mood swings on this topic, as if she had no interest, she washed the dishes and asked lightly.

Liang Chang was choked by her, became anxious, and his voice was obviously higher, and said: "You used to be in Fengzhou, so there was no way, but now that you and Che'er have come to Liangdu, Che'er has begun to be sensible, and she will grow up little by little. ”

"Oh, so you're doing it for the kids." Su Xian raised her eyebrows and said without being salty.

"Huh?" What the hell is this conclusion, Liang Chang's face sank.

"It turns out that you want to live with me for the sake of your children." Su Xian brushed the bowl and said lightly.

Liang Chang was dumbfounded, his lips moved, he didn't know what to say, he was a little annoyed.

"So you just want a baby." Su Xian buried her head and sighed lightly.

Liang Chang looked at her as if she was sad, and finally couldn't help it, he was angry, and shouted at her: "What are you thinking nonsense about, I have been with you for seven years, and I have been together for a few seven years in my life, all these years, do you have to say things like 'I want to live with you' and 'I want to see you every morning'?" ”

Su Xian couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

Liang Chang looked at her laughing, his face darkened, stepped forward, glared at her angrily, and asked:

"You're kidding me again?"

Su Xian looked at him with a smile, pretending to be puzzled: "Why do you always say that I am playing with you?" ”

"Because you've always played with me, from the beginning." Liang Chang stared at her and said unhappily.

Su Xian smiled and poked his forehead with her wet fingers.

Liang Chang didn't hide, but said in his mouth: "Don't poke me with your dishwashing hand." ”

Su Xian smiled silently, lowered her head, and continued to wash the dishes.

"Why do you want to wash the dishes?" Liang Chang stood beside her and couldn't help complaining.

"Because I haven't hired a guy yet." Su Xian replied with a smile.

"Why don't your two sisters wash it for you?"

"Because it's their birthday." Su Xian replied with a smile.

Liang Chang snorted, stared at her hand soaked in alkaline water, hesitated for a long time, and reluctantly said:

"I'll wash it for you."

"You'd better save it." She was also afraid that he would not be able to wash it clean.

Liang Chang immediately stopped insisting, stared at the ends of her hair, bored for a long time, as if confirmed, and asked again in a low voice: "Will you move to live with me?" ”

"Okay." Su Xian readily agreed.

Liang Chang relieved his mind and began to calculate, tomorrow he would ask the craftsman to prepare the drawings, and it would be time for the Wenwang Mansion to be renovated.

……

Su Miao was talking to Hui Xiang and Wei Zhen in the room, Hui Xiang hugged Su Xiaowei, who was dozing, and patted it gently, at this moment, Hui Wei suddenly poked his head in and beckoned to Su Miao from afar.

Su Miao was stunned.

Huixiang knew that the aftertaste was to ask Su Miao to pass, so she said to her:

"There you go."

Su Miao responded, and went out suspiciously, as soon as he walked out of the door, he was held by Huiwei, and before Su Miao could ask, he was pulled into the courtyard by him.

Su Miao was about to open her mouth to ask, but she choked on a cream cake on the small round table under the peach blossom tree in front of her, and the words blocked in her throat were swallowed back.

She stood in front of the cake, staring straight at the cream flowers mounted on it, and then turned her head and looked at the aftertaste with admiration in her eyes: "You can make this, you are also a talent!" ”

Aftertaste smiled, and lit the candle engraved with the word "Twenty-Seven" on the cake with a fire fold, Su Miao stared at the digital candle directly, it was not twenty-seven thin candles, but a candle carved into Chinese characters, she couldn't help but say to Aftertaste:

"So your idea is so trendy!"

Aftertaste didn't answer, and motioned for her to blow out the candles.

"Today is my birthday and Chan'er's birthday, shouldn't I blow out the candles with her?" Su Miao said.

"What's her business with me? Blow it! "The aftertaste is urging.

Su Miao thought that Su Chan would roll her eyes greatly after hearing this, and puffed out her cheeks to blow out the candle, and then she was hugged by the aftertaste from behind, he whispered "Happy Birthday" in her ear, and then gently inserted a plum blossom hairpin into her coiled bun.

Today's table of dishes are all made with aftertaste, Su Miao thought that this was the end, but she didn't expect that there would be cakes to eat and gifts to take. She bent her eyebrows, laughed, took a step forward, bent down, took a bite of the cream cake, turned her head, and said to him with sparkling eyes:

"It's so sweet!"

Looking at her sparkling eyes, her sparkling smile, and her lips that had become shiny in the moonlight because of the delicate cream, her heart moved, hooked her waist, and her lips went down, and pressed them to her lips, and then said with a smile:

"It's really sweet!"

Su Miao laughed and pinched his cheek: "The cheek is getting thicker and thicker!" ”

"Close to Zhu Zhechi!" Aftertaste raised his eyebrows and said to her a little proudly.

"I'm very reserved, don't put me in your category."

"I didn't say you brought it, you admitted it yourself?"

"It's not cheeky, I've learned to lift the bar!" Su Miao flattened her lips and said.

Aftertaste looked humble: "It's all taught by you well." ”

Su Miao looked at him with a research look: "Could it be that the magic that made you silent was sucked away by your son, so you began to liberate your nature?" ”

The wind blew, blew off a few petals and fell on Su Miao's head, and Aftertaste took the petals from her hair, and retorted:

"My son is not taciturn, that is called cherishing words like gold, not everyone can talk to him, he has to be the object he is willing to say, this is called 'extravagance'."

Su Miao laughed dryly twice, you are a big-headed ghost, what you said is the prince's disease, you have to be cured!

As soon as she thought of this, she was depressed: "You said that Su Xiaowei obviously has the same face as me, why is her temperament not like me at all?" ”

"What's wrong with being like me?" Aftertaste said, thinking that if his son was like Su Miao, smiling and jumping all day long, hahahahaha, he would be regarded as a stupid son of the landlord's family, so it was better to talk less.

Su Miao didn't know what he was thinking, and was still muttering there:

"Why doesn't it look like me at all?"

"Why don't you have another one? Giving birth to someone who looks like me, with your temperament? Aftertaste suggested with a smile, "Anyway, Tuan'er always says that he wants a sister." ”

Su Miao tilted her head, stared at the aftertaste's face, and fell into thought, a little girl with an aftertaste but a little girl who loves to jump...... Because the sense of disobedience was too strong, Su Miao's head went blank, and she couldn't imagine what kind of little girl she was.

"You'll know when you're born." As if he understood what she was thinking, he said with a smile.

Su Miao looked at him with suspicion.

At this moment, there was an exclamation and an accusation full of grievances in the distance:

"Ahh You're eating alone behind my back! ”

The two turned around, Su Xiaowei rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes, strode over, and said angrily.

"Didn't you say you don't like sweets, it's sweet." Su Miao said confidently.

Su Xiaowei was still puffing up, grabbing his father's trouser leg and looking at Su Miao angrily.

Aftertaste picked him up and explained with a smile:

"Seeing that you slept and my dad didn't call you, my dad originally planned to leave you a piece and eat it when you woke up."

Su Xiaowei looked at him directly, which meant: "Don't think that I don't know that you want to be alone with your mother, so you let grandma put me to sleep." ”

Aftertaste's eyes flashed slightly, a little embarrassed, smiled, cut a cake for him to eat, and tried to fool the past.

Su Xiaowei ate the cake with satisfaction, took out a transparent mesh bag from his clothes, and handed it to Su Miao very imposingly:

"Mother, send you!"

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, took it and took a look, and found that there was a small insect shining with green light in the net bag, like a lantern, flashing in the dark night, it was actually a firefly.

Su Miao was pleasantly surprised: "At this time, you can find the firefly, where did you catch it?" ”

"Daddy took me to the mountains to catch it." Su Xiaowei said triumphantly, "Then Daddy couldn't find his way back, but fortunately I found it." ”

Su Miao imagined the aftertaste of taking her son up the mountain to catch fireflies but got lost, and was embarrassed by his son to lead her down the mountain when she scratched her ears and cheeks, and almost burst out laughing.

After a while of embarrassment, he patted Su Xiaowei's head melon, which means, I don't tell your mother about it.

Su Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, looked at him, ah, I forgot!

Su Miao hugged Su Xiaowei, kissed him his little face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, son!" ”

Su Xiaowei rubbed her cheek with the back of her hand, and said disgustedly: "You don't always kiss me!" ”

Su Miao bent her eyebrows, looking at the fireflies in the net bag, and suddenly remembered the scene when she went to the water to see the fireflies when she was in Fengzhou, she couldn't help but look at the aftertaste, and the aftertaste was holding Su Xiaowei and looking at her with a slight smile.

"Mother, I want a sister!" Su Xiaowei, who swallowed the last bite of the cake, suddenly remembered his wish, and said to Su Miao seriously, "Mother, you give birth to a sister for me to play!" ”

Su Miao thought that her sister was not playing with it, so she pinched Su Xiaowei's round face and said with a smile:

"Okay, give birth to a sister for you, and then you change her diaper and put her to sleep."

Su Xiaowei tilted his head and thought about it, hesitated for a while between changing diapers, coaxing sleep and his sister, and finally chose his sister greatly, he nodded vigorously and said:

"Good!"

Aftertaste laughed out loud and rubbed his head with her hand.

Su Miao smiled, leaned her head on the shoulder of the aftertaste, ate the cut cake, and looked at the moon in the night sky.

The aftertaste let her lean on, holding Su Xiaowei in one hand, smiling, and looking at the bright moonlight tonight with her, bright and bright.

……

In the distance, under the porch on the third floor, Su Chan rolled her eyes widely.

"Envy?" Liang Ao, who was sitting next to her, asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Su Chan retracted her gaze with a look of disgust.

Liang Ao stopped talking, lowered his head and pulled the cloak wrapped around Liang Che's body, covering him more tightly.

Su Chan looked at him cautiously and slightly, she passed by just now, and saw him sitting here alone with the sleeping Liang Che in her arms, so she sat down, she didn't worry that he was alone with her little nephew.

Liang Ao simply explained that Liang Chang handed over the child to him to take for a while, and Liang Ao played with Liang Che, and Liang Che fell asleep when he was tired of playing.

Su Chan thought that Liang Chang was going to fool her eldest sister and ask her eldest sister to move to Wenwang's Mansion with him.

She pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything, and focused on drinking the rice milk in the small bamboo tube.

"Do you like it?" Liang Ao looked at her boots and asked with a smile.

Su Chan was stunned for a moment, and looked at his gaze, and there was a dagger inlaid with colorful gems in her boots, which was a birthday gift he gave her. She pulled out the dagger and removed the scabbard, the cold and shining blade, sharp and cold, sharpened like clay, and the hair could be broken by blowing.

"It's a good knife, but there are too many gemstones, and it's easy to be robbed." Su Chan said.

"If you are short of money on the road, you can use a piece as money to spend." Liang Ao said with a smile.

Su Chan didn't expect this kind of use, so she was stunned for a moment and was happy for a while.

"I've read the travelogue you wrote." Liang Ao said.

Su Chan glanced at him and didn't speak.

In the early years, I went out purely to travel poorly, and when I had no money, I would do odd jobs to earn travel expenses, or catch thieves and robbers on the bounty list or something, but later I experienced a lot and met a bookseller by chance, so I embarked on the road of no return to write a travelogue. Her travelogue is completely a road map, a food map, a map of customs and self-help travel tips, which is simply a travel guide, with no literary background at all, but simplicity has become a selling point, and the supply exceeds demand.

Su Xian said that people like Su Chan, who know how to sleep in class, can also publish books, and the country's literary scene is about to end.

Su Chan also thinks so, so she earns a little bit of money, but she didn't expect Liang Ao to actually watch it, drinking rice milk, she was a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, she and Liang Ao have met three or four times over the years, and they came to Liang Du as a transit during their travels, and occasionally met him. At first, it was encountered, and then he paid for her food and lodging in Liangdu, because his home was really comfortable, so when he passed by Liangdu later, she would take a look at him.

She felt that every time she went to see him, Liang Ao seemed to have known that she would come, and it had been arranged properly, and she thought it was an illusion, but it felt so strange.

Su Chan herself doesn't know how to define Liang Ao, the intersection of the two is the inexplicable marriage contract of the conspiracy, he is not a family member, not a friend, probably an acquaintance, not even familiar, because Su Chan can't see through him at all, she doesn't know what he's thinking at all.

Su Chan doesn't hate Liang Ao, she feels very calm when she stays with him, he can stay with him for a long time without talking, and she doesn't have to talk nonsense or listen to nonsense, of course, the premise of all this is that he doesn't look at her.

Every time he stared at her intently, she felt that the pores all over her body were stiff, even her heartbeat was wrong, she was hairy, her chest was tight and short of breath, and it felt so twisted that it was no different from a heart attack, like now.

"Don't keep staring at me and not talking." Su Chan frowned and said unhappily.

Liang Ao smiled and withdrew his gaze.

"It's interesting." Liang Ao said that at this time, his head was thinking a lot, although his mind was actually blank after many things flashed.

"Huh?" Su Chan was inexplicable, and subconsciously thought that he was laughing at her displeasure.

"Travel, it's fun." He said.

Su Chan was stunned for a moment and fell silent.

"Where are you going next? When to go? Liang Ao asked softly.

"Copper Mountain, depart next month." Su Chan replied.

"What a coincidence, the emperor sent me to inspect the Tongshan Dam next month, can I go together?" He said, the speed of speech was a bit fast, only he knew the speed of his heart beat, in a short sentence, but he seemed to have exhausted the courage of his life, although on the surface, he looked at her with a faint smile.

Su Chan was slightly stunned, glanced at him, and a lot of things poured out of her mind in an instant, but when she reacted, her brain became blank again.

She continued to drink the rice milk and said nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter, as long as you and I are on the same path."

When Liang Ao heard this, he smiled and didn't speak again.

Su Chan drank rice milk and looked up at the sky, always feeling that the moon was too bright tonight, and it looked a little strange, as if there was some conspiracy hidden......
