Chapter Ninety-Five: The Third Brother Behaves Strangely
Hearing the mother-in-law say the third young master, Su Man was stunned at first, and it took a while to realize who this third young master was.
Su Ze had moved to the outer courtyard last year because he was ten years old, and standing in front of Su Man's courtyard at this time, he was naturally a little uncomfortable.
Su Man listened to his mother-in-law's words, threw his bow and arrows and greeted him at the gate of the courtyard.
Su Ze stood under the porch with his hands down, and when he saw Su Man's nondescript dress, he forgot to say hello, so he stared at her directly, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
Because Su Man wanted to learn archery from Tang Niangzi today, she asked the girls to turn out a narrow-sleeved round-neck cardigan, and below it was a pair of neat silk pants that she specially asked someone to make.
Such a dress is refreshing and neat, but in Su Ze's opinion, it is very awkward.
Su Man didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his dress, and beckoned to Su Ze in a big way: "Why did the third brother have time to come to my side today." ”
Su Ze's awkward eyes didn't know where to put them, and he stumbled for a long time and said, "I heard from my mother that you have been bored at home recently, and you are afraid of ...... I'm afraid you'll be bored, and I'm thinking about asking you to go...... Get out for a walk. ”
Su Man's eyes widened: "Then dare to be kind, where does the third brother want to take me?" ”
Su Ze glanced at Su Man from the corner of his eye, and quickly withdrew his eyes again: "Look at what you are wearing, what kind of body you are wearing." ”
Su Man looked down at himself, there was nothing spicy.
However, for the convenience of moving, my improved version of the slacks is slightly slim, I'm afraid it's not that the person in front of me thinks he's wearing a middle coat.
Thinking of this, Su Man raised his head and laughed twice, and didn't explain much, only raised his hand and sent Su Ze to the main room: "Third brother, don't stand here and talk, come in and have a cup of tea." ”
Su Ze frowned and glanced at Su Man, hesitated for a while before humming lightly, and followed Su Man into the hall with his eyelids drooping.
The two sat down separately, and Su Man poured two sips of tea before he asked Su Ze with a smile: "Third brother didn't go to school today?" ”
Su Ze continued to hang his head and hummed lightly: "Mr. has been unwell for the past two days, so he gave us a holiday." ”
Su Man sighed: "Oh, the third brother just said that he wanted to take me out for a walk, but what's the fun?" ”
Su Ze shook his head slightly: "I just think that the weather is excellent these days, and I want to go to the suburbs, but my mother said that you have been bored in the house lately, and I am afraid that you are in a bad mood, so I asked me to take you out for a walk." ”
"Oh." Su Man blinked, "Then thank you for the kindness of the third aunt and the third brother, it's just that I've been learning archery with Tang Niangzi recently, I'm afraid I don't have much time to go out to play, and the third brother is afraid that it will be difficult to have fun with me, so I won't follow." ”
Su Ze was a little surprised when he heard Su Man reject him, and finally raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "You...... Don't want to go? ”
Su Man smiled and nodded: "Well, I don't want to go." ”
Su Ze seemed to feel a little distressed, frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go to the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, don't you like to hunt rabbits the most, I'll bring a few good hands, let's go to the Zhuangzi to barbecue." ”
Su Man's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the barbecue, and Su Ze saw her like this, so he persuaded even harder: "There is a river outside our Zhuangzi, and when the time comes, I will ask someone to catch fish and cook soup for you." ”
Su Man's eyes rolled, slowly put away the yearning on his face, shook his head a little helplessly, and sighed: "I still don't go, I made my grandmother angry a few days ago, and I still stay in the house obediently these days, so as not to go out and cause trouble, and make my grandmother unhappy." ”
Su Ze saw that he was only one step away from success, where was he willing to give up easily, and at this time, he slapped his chest even more: "Grandmother's side naturally has me to say, you just have to wait to go out to play." ”
Su Man became happy again, got up and bowed to Su Ze again and again: "Then sister, thank you to the third brother." ”
Su Ze walked out of Yiranzhai with a satisfied face, and he didn't see the smiling sister behind him.
Su Man raised his eyebrows and looked at the back of Su Ze leaving without moving for a long time, Tang Niangzi came over, raised her chin and asked in a low voice, "Your third brother is not normal." ”
Su Man was noncommittal, turned around and returned to the target, picked up the small bow, and pulled it up silently.
Tang Niangzi put her hands around her chest, tilted her head and said, "I remember that the third young master hated to walk around when he saw you on weekdays, why did he send it to the door today?" ”
Su Man still ignored her, and fought with the bow on his own.
"Look at the strength of his lobbying just now, it's like if he can't complete the task if you don't go." Tang Niangzi rubbed her chin and kept saying, "Don't try to trap you, this third young master." ”
"Don't talk nonsense," Su Man put down his bow and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Although I don't know what the third brother is planning, he will never harm me." ”
Tang Niangzi raised her eyebrows, thought of something, and said, "When the time comes, you two and a half children can't go together." ”
Su Man also frowned and snorted: "If the eldest brother is at home, then it doesn't hurt for the three of us brothers and sisters to go, but the third brother's words are really not appropriate." ”
Tang Niangzi came over with a smile and lowered her voice: "Your eldest brother is not in Beijing, but your brother Yan is." ”
"Brother Yan is now the prince washing horses, a serious five-grade official, where can he have time to play with our group of hairy children." Su Man waved his hand, "Alas, anyway, since the third brother came to me, there must be an arrangement, I'll just wait." ”
I waited for another two or three days.
Su Man didn't know how Su Ze persuaded the old lady, and the family really agreed to let their two and a half children go to the Zhuangzi to play alone.
On this day, the weather was very clear and bright, so Su Man dressed neatly and led Hongmei and Tang Niangzi to Mrs. Su's Compassion Courtyard.
The maiden and mother-in-law in the courtyard of mercy were already busy, and when they saw Su Man coming, they bowed down one after another.
Su Man hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the house, and before his grandmother could call out, he saw Lu Yan sitting upright in the circle chair beside Mrs. Su.
Su Man was a little strange, and after saluting Mrs. Su, he asked, "Why is Brother Yan here?" ”
Mrs. Su smiled and patted Su Man's head: "Your brother Yan is not worried about you and Brother Ze, saying that he has already taken leave, and he will go to Zhuangzi with you." ”
Su Man didn't think there was anything wrong, and responded with a smile.
But after Su Ze, who came later, saw Lu Yan, the whole person seemed to be thundered, and he didn't react for a long time.
Lu Yan didn't care what Su Ze's reaction was, he only got up and bowed to Old Madam Su: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely take good care of my brother and sister." ”
