Su Bocang was more than eight feet tall, burly, wearing hakama, wearing a martial arts on his head, wearing a short knife at his waist, and posing with the majesty of an eldest brother in his hands.

"Lan Yan, you go and let all the girls, little girls, and old mothers go to the front and back doors to guard." He commanded.

"Oh."

Although Su Lanyan was reluctant, she still responded to the call.

Since there is an important person in the family, she can only reconcile with her eldest brother temporarily, but she is very angry in her heart, and she is thinking about how to let her sister administer justice to her later.

"Wanqing, you take the distinguished guest to the inner hall to sit for a while. Brother will go over later—" Su Pocang ordered again.

Just now, he was still sympathetic to the little sister in his heart, Su Xiaozhou was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had also been assigned a task.

"Brother, what are you going to do again?"

"I don't know how to count! There are distinguished guests coming to the door, of course, to be grandly entertained. ”

……

"Why haven't you come for so long?"

Facing Su Xiaozhou in the center of the inner hall, Li Yu couldn't help but look left and right.

The Su family is also too strange: when there is a guest at home, all the subordinates are asked to guard the door, and the young lady needs to call it in person...... Also, the eldest brother of the Su family never returned, is it because he is afraid of slipping away?

Seeing his confusion, Su Xiaozhou explained: "Because of my business, there have been very few servants and maidservants left at home in the past ten years. They each had their own errands, and in order to find them all, they had to go all over the mansion. ”

"Oh-"

Li Yu nodded, and suddenly asked, "After so many years...... Save a lot of money, right? ”

"Are you worrying too much?"

Su Xiaozhou rolled her eyes, even if she was talking about serious things, the part that this guy cared about was something she couldn't imagine.

"Since you want to marry, you have to calculate the dowry of the lady." Li Yu said scoundrelly.

Su Xiaozhou's chest was surging with qi and blood.

How could he talk about the marriage so casually, as if marrying her was just adding furniture to his own home.

"I wanted to say it last night. Please find a time to meet your uncle and grandfather or my eldest brother, and stop the discussion between the two families. I just happened to be here today, and you'll tell my big brother later! She said angrily.

"Really?"

"Can this be fake? You and I are not in love, even if we make a marriage contract, we can withdraw from the marriage, not to mention that this has just started to discuss marriage, and it can save a lot of trouble if it ends early. ”

"Su Wanqing—"

Li Yu leaned forward abruptly and leaned into her ear, "Marry me...... Isn't it possible? ”

His voice was slow and soft, and his breath was warm, with the aroma of grass and trees. Even if he is a scoundrel, suddenly speaking so gently is very provocative.

The two were so close that with a sneak glance, you could see his angular side face, and Su Xiaozhou found that his eyes and long eyelashes really matched.

She ducked, her heart pounding.

Damn it! Isn't he going to confess his heart and say stupid things like love at first sight?!

In her thoughts, she only heard Li Yu say, "Are you too serious?" Getting married is not a big deal, but it's just a ceremony for others to see. Even if you and I don't know each other and love each other, we can help each other. Young couples, all their lives are plain, they respect each other like guests, and they grow old, isn't it good? ”

What he said...... It makes so much sense.

Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, what personal feelings are needed? Before the meeting, the two had a tacit understanding, which was already a rare creation.

His eyes sank, Su Xiaozhou shook his head, "I don't know each other, blind marriage and dumb marriage, I can only accept my fate and gamble on the future." However, you and I have met several times, whether it is temperament or taste, they are far from each other, and nine times out of ten they will become relatives and husband and wife will not get along. Do you still play a bet when you know you're going to lose? ”

"I ......"

Li Yu was a little surprised, she didn't expect that she would think so much about what she thought was a simple matter.

"Sister—"

Su Lanyan's voice came, and then he panted into the inner hall.

ran through the huge mansion, her face was hot and red, and she couldn't breathe and said, "Sister, why did you bring your brother-in-law back in broad daylight?" ”

"Huh?!"

Su Xiaozhou and Li Yu looked at each other.

How could the little sister know him?

"Miss Su, have we met?" Li Yu asked.

Su Lanyan found out that she was speechless, bit her lower lip, and said with a little weakness: "Master Maker took me and my brother to see you secretly, and it was ......."

"Ahem-cough-ahem-"

Su Xiaozhou coughed suddenly, signaling her that she was so rude, she could not talk about the details.

"And then? Did you get anything out of it? Li Yu asked.

"Big brother is very satisfied with you!" Su Lanyan said with a smile.

Li Yu seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and finally let go of the matter, and raised his eyebrows at Su Xiaozhou, "If you want to say it yourself, I don't want to disappoint my brother-in-law." ”

Before the words fell, Su Bocang trotted in with a wooden plate.

"Brother-in-law, I've been waiting for a long time—"

His smile was bright and kind, and he changed his solemn appearance in the outer courtyard.

There are four "smoothie rose cheeses" on a wooden plate, in which the ice and snow are crystal clear, a layer of mellow buttermilk is poured on top, and the rose compote is sprinkled on top, and the fresh and sweet aroma comes to the nose.

Seeing his favorite cold food, Su Xiaozhou hurriedly took over, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, is there still ice at home?" ”

It's okay not to mention it, but as soon as I said it, Su Lan's smoke arrived.

She pouted and said angrily: "Big brother is eccentric!" Brother Wei lived at home for a month, and he was stunned that he would not let the ice cellar open! Until now, it turned out to entertain the second brother-in-law! ”

Hearing her say this, Su Bocang's face immediately changed, and he patted the case: "Don't mention that guy again!" It's just a kiss with him, and he actually said that I violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to sue the official! Not breaking his leg is already magnanimous! ”

actually did it, or in the case of his own loss, it was simply ...... It's too rough.

Li Yu and Su Xiaozhou looked at each other and made up their minds.

No matter how you say it, she has been in charge of the family for several years, Su Lanyan is not so easy to scare, and instead looks at Li Yu pitifully, "Brother-in-law, you give a review." Is it unreasonable for my eldest brother to destroy the marriage contract that he has been engaged for more than ten years and give me another promise? He also beats—"

Without waiting for the little sister to finish speaking, Su Bocang stepped forward and interrupted: "Brother-in-law, you come to comment." Someone once saved my life, and he refused to ask for money or money, and he asked for nothing. As the eldest brother, what is the problem with marrying my little sister to him? ”

"Too much——, too much! Brother Wei and I are childhood sweethearts, and everyone in the family knows about it, but now that the marriage is ruined, how can the Su family have face? ! ”

"You're excessive! Turn your elbow outward, unite with outsiders to disobey the big brother! ”

……

"Brother-in-law, you judge!"

"Brother-in-law, you say!"

……

Li Yu was thundered in their ears and shouted, "Stop arguing!" ”

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and he said, "Brother Su, this is your fault. The grace of saving your life, marrying your sister to repay it, could have been a good story, but you obviously have a younger sister who is not engaged, and now you want to break up the existing marriage contract of your younger sister...... Is it because the benefactor is not good-looking or is not young? I heard Xiaozhou say that the little sister was born by her stepmother, so is the eldest brother favoring one over the other. ”

As soon as he raised his eyes after speaking, he saw that the three of them were all staring at him with wide eyes.
