The rain continued for a day, and it only lightened in the evening. It was already eight o'clock, and the Overseer's Palace was bustling. It turned out that this day was the birthday of the second aunt in the house, and Su Mobai had a lot of respect for the housekeeper's aunt, so she had to do a big deal on her birthday.
On the birthday of such an aunt's wife, the scene is not ordinary, and since the morning, gifts have been sent in one after another, and the threshold has to be flattened. The gifts are even more dazzling, and Bi Sui Zhu.
The banquet hall was set up in the main hall, and the reception was all Soviet military dignitaries and their families. The hall was as bright as day, and all the high-ranking officials gathered here to laugh and chat. The female dependents of Jinling dignitaries are all elites, and seeing that the second aunt is too popular, three or five of them get together with her to play mahjong. It's only been eight laps, and the second aunt has already won a box full of money.
She is naturally proud, because of her identity like the wife of the housekeeper, and her style is different from that of the rest of the aunts. In addition, the conversation and demeanor are also down-to-earth and generous, and they are exquisite, which is very popular.
All the male guests were in the living room, greeted by the two sons. The banquet was originally scheduled to be eight o'clock, but it was almost half past eight at this time, and the second aunt saw that the handsome man had not yet come, thinking that Xu was stumbling over the sixth aunt.
Although he was very angry, his face was not revealed at all, and he smiled at the ladies and said: "Look at me, I am so happy that I am patronizing myself to win money, but I forgot to have a banquet." Come on, go and ask the big man to come over. ”
Just before I was about to send the maid over, I heard that the handsome man was coming. The second aunt was too proud, so she got up and packed up the cheongsam, behaved in a neat manner, and led the rest of the aunts to greet people.
A rainproof shelter was built in the yard, and a red carpet was specially laid out on the bluestone slab. I saw the car parked under the steps outside the courtyard, and there were guards standing on both sides. Su Yubai got out of the car, and the commanders and senior officials of various military regions all hugged him.
The sixth aunt got out of the car from the other side, and the attendant hurriedly stepped forward to hold an umbrella for her. She was wearing a water-red brocade cheongsam, and her bewitching face was very charming, obviously supporting Su Qibai, but she still walked in style.
The second aunt saw her like this, which naturally dwarfed her in comparison. The ladies saw that the sixth aunt's style was so big, so they naturally had to do their best to maintain it. They all stepped forward one after another and praised the sixth aunt for being too good.
The sixth aunt Taiyuan was arrogant, and after listening to these compliments this time, she was very useful, and she couldn't help but look at the second aunt proudly, and the provocation on her face was obvious.
The second aunt just glanced at her casually, and stroked her sideburns neatly, as if she didn't take it seriously.
Su Qibai talked and laughed with the commanders all the way, although he was old, he still had an aura of not being angry and arrogant between his eyebrows, especially when he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, his eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes.
Fortunately, he took care of the second aunt's face, watched her come over, took her hand and walked in, raised his eyes and saw that the second and third were there, but he didn't see Su Huiyi, so he couldn't help but calm his face and asked, "Where is the seventh?" ”
The second aunt saw that he was angry, as if she was afraid that he would be angry. smiled reluctantly and said, "I just called, saying that a new Fuso spy has been arrested, and I really can't leave." ”
Su Qibai's face suddenly became ugly when he heard this, but because of everyone, he didn't have a seizure. He looked at Su Qingyang and said, "You go and call the military department, and let Lao Qi come back immediately!" ”
Su Qingyang was wishful thinking in his heart, and at this time, he listened to his father's instructions and immediately responded. It can be seen that there are many female dependents in the hall, and it is not convenient to call. He didn't dare to delay, so he walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Su Ziyu hooked his lips and smiled, originally such an occasion had nothing to do with him. It's just that because of Su Qibai, I have to come to respond to it. Seeing Su Wei's white eyebrows coldly opposed, he bowed slightly, politely invited all the guests in, and he also turned to leave.
The drizzle fell on the canopy, and when the messenger at the door saw him come out, he hurriedly held an umbrella for him. The night rain was profuse, and the buildings in the distance were hidden in the rain, and the sound of rain on the eaves was extremely low, and the air conditioning was empty.
He walked unhurriedly to the courtyard of the side hall, and when he saw Su Qingyang going to the hall, he waved his hand, and he retreated.
He stepped in and said, "The second brother has been getting more and more idle recently, but isn't it the same as sending an adjutant to call for such a trivial matter as making a phone call?" ”
Su Qingyang might as well let him follow, and when he heard him mention his adjutant with a pun, he couldn't help but snort, turned around and looked at him coldly, and said, "Isn't the third brother also very leisurely?" I haven't settled this account with you yet as to how my lieutenant died. ”
The two of them stood under the rain eaves of the side hall, looking far away, and the huge side hall was empty. The door is lit up, reflecting the snow on the ground, and the colorful silk under the eaves is swaying with the wind, making the yard more and more deep and empty.
Su Ziyu smiled indifferently and said, "I still think about when the second brother will tell me about this, but it's actually a coincidence." It's just that I went to Pengcheng that day when I had nothing to do, otherwise I wouldn't have seen my second brother's people. ”
He shook his head with a sigh, and then said: "Even the car exploded, and the second brother killed Shen Qiangrose like this, I really can't stand it." ”
Su Qingyang took a step in, turned on the light casually, and the hall was as bright as day. He walked to the sofa and sat down with a calm face, stared at Su Ziyu's eyes, and said, "It's easy to see the third brother today, you and my brother might as well have a good chat." ”
Seeing his angry look, Su Ziyu couldn't help laughing more and more, and couldn't help laughing, saying, "This is not a big deal, why should the second brother be like a big enemy." ”
He strode in, his robe wet from the rain, and brushed his hand casually before he sat down. There was a hot water pipe boiling in the hall, which was originally extremely warm.
At this moment, the door was open, and the cold mixed with the humidity hit at the same time, adding a bit of coldness.
He rang the electric bell, and the messenger quickly rushed over and said, "What does Childe command?" He glanced at Su Qingyang slowly, and then said, "Serve tea." Seeing that the faces of the two sons were indistinguishable, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly walked out.
Su Qingyang saw that he was deliberately delaying time, so he said, "Our brother is just chatting casually, what are you doing with these?" ”
Su Ziyu said seriously: "If you don't pay attention to it, you can't do it, I'll come alone." I didn't listen to the errand and followed, but the second brother gave me a stick, tied a stone slab and threw me into Lusong Lake, so wouldn't I be very wronged? "He was such a moody temper that he always spoke as he pleased.
Therefore, Su Qingyang just smiled when he heard this, and said, "You are also the third son of the patrol envoy, what will this kind of talk look like." ”
The messenger quickly brought two cups of tea, both of which were pastel dragon pattern teacups, Su Ziyu picked up the cup and slowly blew the hot air, and said casually, "The second brother also knows that I have always had no intentions, and no one believes what I say." Especially my father, I originally killed someone that day to protect myself, which is very reasonable, but my father scolded me, which really embarrassed me. ”
He took a slow sip of tea, and the heat rose up, and the face of the cage was blurred. It's like laughing, and it's unpredictable.
Su Qingyang looked at him for a long time before he nodded slowly and said, "Third brother, now that you have grabbed the handle, it's nothing." After all, I am also obedient to my father, even if the seventh child knows, I don't care. ”
Su Ziyu paused when he drank tea, hooked his lips and chuckled, and said, "What the second brother said is too unusual. We are brothers, how can we be so guilty? To be honest, Lao Qi is really a little difficult to get along with, and I appreciate the second brother more than him. ”
Su Qingyang's face was full of impatience, he pursed his lips and snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, don't button my hat, if the third brother has anything to say, just say it directly, the second brother will try his best to help you." ”
Su Ziyu took a few sips of tea slowly before saying, "Second brother also knows that I don't have any rights in the military department, and now Qiao Yunhua is being detained in the secret service by Lao Qi. His father came to me three times in a row, and I really couldn't shirk it, so I wanted to ask my second brother to make it convenient and let him go. ”
Su Qingyang immediately frowned, snorted coldly, and said, "You also know who Qiao Yunhua is, how can I help with this favor?" ”
Su Ziyu had been paying attention to his expression, and hearing him say this, it seemed as expected. just nodded calmly and said, "With his identity, he can't enter the door of the Su family in his life, and the second brother only thinks he is an irrelevant person." Even if you do me a favor this time, it's convenient, as long as you can get him out, don't hesitate to ask for anything. ”
Su Qingyang might as well persuade himself, and couldn't help but speculate about his intentions, and said: "Why should the third brother care about the life or death of an illegitimate child, his father knows about his case, and he didn't say anything." Could it be that the third brother still has brotherly love for him? ”
Su Ziyu put down the teacup slowly, curling through the tea smoke, with a hint of mockery. The tone was plain, "You and I are also half-brothers, no different from him, if he is unfortunately killed in the future, presumably the second brother will definitely step on the water dog." Rather than that, it is better to have a younger brother by your side as soon as possible, knowing that it will not be useful to him in the future. ”
Su Qingyang couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed, and said, "Why did the third brother say it so clearly? If he loses my ground, won't you shoot me the same? ”
At that time, it rained a lot at night, and it smashed under the eaves. The lights in the hall flickered as if they were affected by the wiring. Su Qingyang didn't want to continue to talk about such a topic, so he said: "Qiao Yunhua is a hot potato, Lao Qi and I can't avoid it, and the third brother is indeed courageous." I can help dredge up the relationship, but the power of life and death is still in the hands of Lao Qi, and I can't guarantee his life or death. ”
Su Ziyu nodded, as if relieved. Said complimentarily: "The second brother is willing to help, and this matter will definitely be resolved soon." ”
Su Qingyang was impatient and polite, so he waved his hand casually, looked at the night outside the hall, and said, "I don't know where our seventh brother went, obviously he is the eldest, but he is bigger than anyone else." ”
