Chapter 172: The court snubbed the pommel horse
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yunshan Mansion City is very lively, the carriages on the street are endless, most of them take advantage of this day relatives and friends to move around each other, after all, it is the first day after the New Year, who goes to the New Year's greeting on this day, that also represents a very heavy weight, especially for people with status or wealth, the New Year's greeting object selected on this day is carefully selected.
As the leading wine merchant in Yunshan Mansion, Sufu relies on Shengquan to survive There are not a few merchant restaurants, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year in previous years, there are not a few guests who come to visit the New Year.
Needless to say, the eight major restaurants that have been relying on Su Mansion have also come to the door one after another, just to get a relationship with the Su family and get more support, not necessarily looking forward to getting bamboo sake, as long as Heshengquan can supply other types of wine, it is enough to make the restaurant prosperous, and Shengquan In addition to bamboo sake, there are seven or eight kinds of wine, which are not as famous as the main bamboo sake, but it is still very famous in Yunshan Mansion.
Although she knew that there might be some changes this year, Linlang still got up at dawn, last night Cheng Huan overnight, her body was soft, and under Chu Huan's fierce friction, she was already swollen and slightly painful.
After all, it is necessary to take into account Linlang's location, although the two of them have made a private decision for life, but Chu Huan still got up early in the morning and quietly walked out of Linlang's room, wanting to go back to his home first, but after he went out, the people of Su Mansion have already begun to get busy, and many of the servants who went home for the New Year came back before dawn, Chu Huan didn't go to the front yard, and bumped into Su Bo head-on, he came over last night, but he didn't see Su Bo, at this time Su Bo saw him and said with a smile: "Little Brother Chu, come over so early in the morning?" I'm afraid that there are a lot of guests today, but I really have something to do. ”
His name for Chu Huan has not changed, whether Chu Huan has just entered the mansion or now he has become the guard general of the Praetorian Guard, he is so affectionately called.
Chu Huan scratched his head, seeing Su Bo smiling, he didn't know if this old boy was pretending to be ignorant or serious, after all, this old boy was the housekeeper of Su Mansion, and he came over last night, Cuiping certainly knew, didn't this old boy know a trace of wind? Or maybe Su Bo knew that he and Linlang had been in the same room for a night, but he deliberately pretended not to know?
The people clean the courtyard, tidy up the tables and chairs, prepare pastries and fruits, and if there are guests who come to the door later, the first day of the new year will naturally be a good reception.
When the dawn got up, Linlang arrived at the main hall in a new outfit gracefully, after the moisturization of the rain and dew of Ailang, her pretty face was even more radiant, although it was once beautiful, but there was a cold winter plum beauty, but at this time, the whole body was unnaturally full of happiness, with a smile on the lips, a palace bun, looking luxurious and dignified, and a temperament like Fang.
After Cui Ping helped her to the main hall, she already felt that her legs were a little sore. The buttocks were a little hot, the willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the eyes were flattering, thinking of the madness of last night, thinking of the postures that he cooperated with Ailang to fiddle with without scruples, he felt a fever on his face, and he would only be so bold when he forgot his feelings.
"Where did Sub go?" Linlang picked up the teacup and tasted it elegantly, her lips and teeth fragrant.
Cui Ping said softly: "Su Bo and Young Master Chu went to the gate together to welcome guests over there!" ”
"Huh?" I don't know why, when she heard Chu Huan's name at this time, Linlang had a strange feeling, there was no one else next to her, Cuiping was her personal girl, loyal, and couldn't help but whisper: "I didn't ask Chu Huan, what did you mention him?" ”
Cui Ping smiled and said, "It's Cui Ping who has heard the difference." ”
She giggled, but Linlang felt a little weird on her body and couldn't help glaring at her.
Chu Huan and Su Bo were waiting in front of the Su Mansion at this time, although some people had already rushed back early in the morning, but less than half of them came back, according to the habits of previous years, Su Bo personally waited for guests at the door of the mansion, and those rough chores did not need Chu Huan, Chu Huan thought about it, and also followed Su Bo to wait in front of the mansion, after last night's crazy venting, he only felt that he was refreshed, although he consumed a lot of physical strength last night, but when he got up in the morning, he did not have the slightest sense of exhaustion, but was in good spirits.
There are occasional vehicles passing by in front of the house, but there are several mansions next to Su Mansion, but from time to time people come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, Chu Huan and Su Bo waited for a long time, but no one came to the door, and the expression on Su Bo's face became solemn.
Chu Huan saw that Su Bo's face was a little bad, and asked softly, "Su Bo, at this time in the past, the guests came early in the morning from time to time?" ”
Su Bo nodded and said, "The owners of the eight major restaurants are rarely forced to come to the door, and the other small restaurants are also rushing over early in the morning...... If it were a previous year, there would have been a lot of people sitting in the main hall at this time. ”
Chu Huan bowed slightly, understanding something.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of the carriage, and when a carriage was about to approach Su Mansion, it suddenly slowed down, Su Bo was shocked, and took two steps forward, only to see the carriage curtain opened, revealing a face, and when he saw Su Bo, he had already greeted him: "Steward Su, are you busy?" ”
When Su Bo saw the man, he already smiled and said: "It turned out to be the Chen Dong family, this early in the morning, it's really hard, the big Dong family is in the house, please go in and have a cup of tea first!" ”
The Chen Dongjia asked, "Are there other guests coming?" ”
Su Bo said with a smile: "Chen Dongjia is the first today, and he is at the top, which is very auspicious!" ”
Chen Dongjia's eyes rolled, shook his head and smiled: "Steward Su, I'm really sorry, I made an appointment with Hu Dongjia today, I want to go to him to catch breakfast, I have been friends with him for more than ten years, but on the first day of the new year, I want to drink a few glasses, say goodbye first, see you later!" After saying that, he had already shouted: "Let's go, let's go!" The carriage departed immediately, at great speed, as if a ghost was chasing after it.
Su Bo was stunned, and after a while, he shook his head, and when he returned to the door, Chu Huan looked solemn and said softly: "Su Bo, that guy seems to be a wind probe." ”
Su Bo sighed: "He is the owner of a small restaurant, in previous years, he came early in the morning, and he was very happy to be able to say a few words to the big owner......!" He shook his head with emotion.
It didn't take long for three or four carriages to come in a row, although they all stopped, but they were all the same as the Chen Dongjia, said hello, asked a few words, and then left without getting out of the carriage at all, let alone entering the mansion.
"The human heart is not ancient." Su Bo sighed: "I think I know that Sheng Quan and I are in trouble, so I don't even set foot in this gate...... I think that on the first day of the Lunar New Year in previous years, there were carriages in front of this door, and even the parking space could not be vacated......! Looking at the mansion next door, looking from a distance, I saw that there were more than ten carriages in front of the mansion, which was in stark contrast to the cold saddle horses in front of the door of the Su Mansion, and said softly: "That is the Xu family who is engaged in the silk business, in previous years, there were fewer guests than us, and now ...... Ay......! There was a faint sourness in his sigh.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "They are like this today, it is nothing more than that they think that the future of me and Sheng Quan is hopeless, but the big owner is a woman who will never give up, so ...... When we took the name of the imperial wine and slapped them in the face fiercely, they all thought that Heshengquan was going to collapse, but we just couldn't do what they wanted. ”
Linlang promised that the affairs of the Su family have now completely become Chu Huan's affairs, and now that the catastrophe is imminent, Chu Huan has begun to think about how to help the Su family get through this difficulty.
Su Bo just smiled and didn't speak, but the look in his eyes was very solemn, obviously he didn't feel optimistic about the future of the Su family.
Suddenly hearing the gurgling sound of the carriage, the two looked up, only to see a carriage coming over and stopping in front of the door, the two were stunned at first, and then Su Bo and Chu Huan both showed strange looks.
Isn't this carriage the carriage that Linlang usually takes advantage of?
The curtain of the car was lifted, Linlang's delicate face was revealed first, Chu Huan and Su Bo glanced at each other in surprise, Chu Huan had already stepped forward, arrived at the window, and said softly: "Where are you going?" ”
Linlang looked at him, with a smile on his lips, his pretty face was like a spring breeze, and his eyes unconsciously contained three points of affection, and said softly: "You get in the car, I'll go to a place with you?" ”
"Where to go?"
"You'll know when you come up." Linlang chuckled, and then said to Su Bo: "Su Bo, no one will come, don't wait any longer, if someone really comes, you can help greet you." ”
Su Bo hurriedly agreed, Chu Huan got into the carriage, but saw that several boxes of gifts had been prepared in the carriage, which were very delicately packaged, and sat down beside Linlang, and said strangely: "Is this going to pay New Year's greetings to anyone?" ”
Linlang glanced at Chu Huan affectionately, thinking that she was with this man last night. Luan. Pour. Feng, who was a little panicked in his heart, had a fever on his face, and said softly: "I...... I want to discuss something with you, you see...... Do you think it will happen? ”
She used to be vigorous and resolute, but at this time she was a little shy and pretty, Chu Huan saw her charming appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and wrap her arms around her small waist, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "What do you want to say?" ”
Linlang's waist couldn't help but twist, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the outside of the car curtain, which was to remind Chu Huan that there was a coachman outside, and Chu Huan had already leaned close to his ear and said, "He didn't dare to look inside." And...... We are bright, but not sneaky, what is there to be afraid of? ”
Linlang was helpless, let him put his arms around Xiaoman's waist, and then he was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "I want to ...... I want to go to your house to see, my aunt came to Fucheng, I ...... I haven't had time to visit, and today is just ...... I just went to her old man's house to pay New Year's greetings, you ...... Do you think it's good? She was actually a little nervous in her heart, but she was afraid that Chu Huan would not agree.
Chu Huan stared at Linlang and said softly: "You have a heart, let's go ......!" ”
Linlang hurriedly said: "You...... Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, it's just ...... It's just that you've helped me a lot, I'll go ...... I'm going to thank her old man! ”
Chu Huan knew that if he said more, it would make Linlang's heart uneasy, so he held her slippery jade hand and said, "Actually, my mother has been thinking about meeting you, she said that you take care of my little guy, you are a good host, and I want to come over to see you when I have the opportunity." ”
Lin Lang smiled and said, "Who took care of you?" The thought in my heart that I was going to see Chu Huan's house soon was both nervous and happy.
