Chapter XII
After Su Jinan understood, he looked at Rong Chengyi and said, "I haven't seen you for more than two years, and you still open a restaurant?" ”
Rong Chengyi looked at Su Jinan with a smile: "Didn't you learn from you?" ”
Su Jin'an's chopsticks paused for a moment, and then said indifferently: "I didn't teach you, besides, I didn't open a restaurant." ”
Rong Chengyi didn't argue with her, and played with the delicate fan handle in his hand as if he was smiling, and there was a joke about Su Jin'an in his slender Danfeng's eyes.
Su Jinan ignored Rong Chengyi's gaze and continued to eat. Most of the dishes on the table were missing unconsciously, Rong Chengyi didn't eat a bite, and Su Jin'an, who was full of wine and food, touched his stomach and got up to say goodbye: "I haven't eaten so full for a long time, then I'll go first." ”
"I have something to do recently, so I won't go to visit your eldest brother, and say hello to your family on my behalf." Rong Chengyi also got up and said.
"It must be brought by His Royal Highness the Prince." Su Jinan assured.
Rong Chengyi watched Su Jinan turn around and was about to leave, his left hand moved slightly, as if he wanted to stop her, but he didn't say anything in the end. Just when Su Jinan was about to open the door but happened to meet Ye Xiu who came in, he hugged Su Jinan and walked towards Rong Chengyi, Su Jinan just heard Ye Xiu say when he crossed the threshold: "Master, King Yan has set off, and he will arrive in Beijing before the year." But Su Jinan didn't care.
When Su Jinan returned to Su Mansion, it was nap time, so she went straight back to her yard, but she didn't expect to see Su Murong as soon as she entered the door, Su Murong saw her come back and immediately jumped up: "Third sister, you're back, you don't take me when you go out to play." ”
Su Jin'an glanced at him: "Su Mansion just doesn't let the female dependents go out of the mansion at will, aren't you still using me to take you with the female dependents?" Why, come to me for something. ”
"It's nothing, I just want to see what gift you have prepared for your eldest sister."
"I think you don't know what to prepare, so you want to come to me."
Su Murong, who was seen through, scratched his head weakly: "You know I'm not good at this, just help me." ”
"You are a man, so it's naturally not good to send some fancy things, it just so happened that today I got a painting of Lu Zhongxing, which was originally planned to be given to the eldest brother, but now I can only give you a full number."
"Thank you, Third Sister, I know that nothing can be difficult for Third Sister." Su Murong said happily.
Su Jin'an took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and looked at the happy Su Murong unconsciously bent the corners of his mouth: "Don't pat yourself on the back, I also bought your favorite osmanthus cake, you bring it when you go back, and by the way, bring a copy to the second brother." ”
"Okay, thank you, third sister, then I'll go back." After saying that, he ran out like a gust of wind.
Su Jin'an heard him shouting in the house: "Zizhu, quickly bring me the osmanthus cake brought by the third sister!" ”
Su Jinan shook his head: Foodie.
In the afternoon, Su Jinan went to the old lady and thanked her for the carriage. Then Su Jinan went to her mother's place to do it for a while, and after coming out, she went directly to Su Muqing's yard.
Su Jinan skillfully checked Su Muqing's pulse while selling Guanzi: "Do you guess who I met today?" ”
Su Muqing thought for a moment and then said, "But when you meet Rong Cheng?" ”
Su Jinan handed the Poria cake to Su Muqing: "It's worthy of being a big brother, just guess it." ”
"You said it was a coincidence, I met him as soon as I went out for the first time when I returned to Beijing, by the way, he opened the Linjiang Building, maybe the eldest brother can get a discount in the future."
Su Muqing raised his hand and nodded Su Jin'an's forehead: "Money fan, tell me about your achievements today." ”
Su Jin installed stupidly: "What results?" Do you mean my gift to my eldest sister? That's certainly ready. ”
Su Muqing just looked at her quietly and didn't speak, and under his scan-like gaze, Su Jin'an surrendered obediently in less than three seconds: "Okay, okay, don't look at it, I said that's it, Linlang Pavilion has begun to operate normally, and the powder cream has also arrived, everything is going well, don't worry, I originally planned to open a Baiweixuan in the capital, but then I changed my attention, anyway, let's just come back and keep a low profile, let's talk about it after the New Year." ”
"That's fine, although the capital is prosperous, it is not as comfortable as Huailing, I didn't want you to run those businesses anymore, but I also know that I can't stop you, so although I can't help you with anything, I still hope that you don't carry it alone." There was pity and worry in Su Muqing's words.
"I know, my eldest brother has helped me a lot, if it weren't for you, my father and mother wouldn't be able to get by, I would be careful." Su Jin'an comforted him.
"I know you're measured, I just hope you're not too tired."
"Okay, I'll take care of myself, judging from the pulse, my eldest brother's physical condition is good, just take the medicine on time, it's not early, I'll go back first." Su Jin'an changed the subject.
Su Muqing nodded: "Well, go back, be careful on the way." ”
Su Jinan waved his hand to him and went out, looking at the slender back Su Muqing sighed softly, and Baicao, who was walking in to deliver the medicine, looked at his son-in-law sighing and couldn't help asking: "Childe, what did you sigh for the third miss just left, but what did you say yet, why don't I call the third miss back for you?" ”
"No need, she can't let go of anyone in her heart, and she doesn't know who the person she is looking for is, so she can do it step by step." Su Muqing said to himself a little.
"What did Childe say? Baicao didn't understand, "Baicao was a little confused.
"Oh, it's okay, Baicao, you can go down."
"Yes, Childe remembers to drink medicine." Baicao answered the call and left, leaving Su Muqing alone in the already somewhat dim room, not knowing what he was thinking.
Today, it is Su Zi's birthday, Su Jin'an left the warm quilt early, and then took Xia Qu to the old lady in the cold, there are already many people, including today's main son - Su Zi, Su Jin'an couldn't help but sigh: These ancients got up really early!
Su Jin'an asked the old lady for peace, and then said happy birthday to Su Zi and sat aside silently, after all, today's protagonist is not her, listening to people's similar blessings Su Jin'an was a little drowsy.
It didn't take long for guests to come to the door one after another, and the old lady asked everyone to disperse and go what they should do.
Today's birthday banquet is held in the big room, so most of the guests go directly to the big room. Su Jinan took Xia Qu to the courtyard of the big house, and when she saw that nothing happened to her, she found a corner where no one was there to sit quietly, watching people greet each other, but she didn't know that there was some truth and some falsehood hidden in these seemingly friendly words.
Su Jin'an sat bored, just thinking about whether to find an excuse to go back first when she saw Zizhu walking towards her, although Zizhu's face was not abnormal, but Su Jin'an knew that Zizhu was coming over now, there must be something.
Sure enough, after Zizhu walked in, she first saluted Su Jin'an, and then walked behind Su Jin'an to lean over to add tea to Su Jin'an, and whispered: "Miss, there is something wrong with the second son, it's a little maid, called Qiu Xin." ”
Su Jin'an's face remained unchanged, and he took a sip of tea: "Is it serious?" ”
Zizhu shook her head, indicating that it was not serious.
Su Jin'an suddenly smiled, this smile made Zizhu and Xia Qu feel furious, put down the teacup Su Jin'an said calmly: "Then leave him alone, let him deal with it himself." ”
Zizhu and Xia Qu glanced at each other: Is this a matter of letting go? Second son, you have to hold on.
Su Jinan saw the uneasy expressions of the two, and spoke again: "Second brother can't only live on the battlefield forever, he always has to know about these things in the inner house, don't worry, even if he can't handle it, I will help him." ”
Zizhu and Xia Qu bowed their heads a little embarrassed, they really didn't have Miss's mind, Miss's decision must be justified, how could they really ignore the second son?
When it was almost noon, a little maid came to look for her, saying that it was going to be a banquet, and now the weather was very cold, and the banquet was set up indoors. Since most of them were clansmen, men and women did not have separate tables, but a screen was added in the middle. After Su Jinan arrived, she found that she was still early in the third room, and after sitting in the third room, Su Mu and the others came with Master Su.
After entering the table, Su Zheng, as the head of the big house, first expressed his gratitude to all the visitors, and then entered today's topic, Su Zheng cleared his throat, although he tried his best to suppress but still full of joy The voice floated into the ears of everyone present: "Originally, something like a little girl's birthday was not intended to be so big, but I have a happy event to share with you, so I want to take the opportunity to gather with you today, none of you are outsiders, I will not sell Guan Zi and say it directly", speaking of which, Su Jinan clearly felt the joy and pride of the people in the big house from the inside out.
Su Zheng continued: "On the eighteenth day of the first month of next year, the little girl Su Zi will enter the palace as a side concubine. There was a moment of silence when the words fell, followed by a steady stream of congratulations, the male guests kept getting up to congratulate and toast Su Zheng, and some ladies and young ladies were half envious and half jealous to say congratulations to Su Zi and her mother.
Su Jinan looked at the teacup in front of him with deep eyes, this Su Zhengzang is deep, and Rong Chenghan, the king of Hui, is the fourth son of the current emperor, that is, the fourth brother of Rong Chengyi. Today's emperor has a total of five sons and seven daughters, the eldest prince is loyal, the second prince likes to be happy and does not love political affairs, the four princes are both civil and military and decisive, the five princes are famous for killing gods on the battlefield, the seven princes are young, and the seven princesses marry four, it is said that the emperor values the four princes the most, and the five princes are only two kings, these four princes are one of them, and the other is the battlefield killing god, folk rumors say that the four princes are most likely to be the next king, but who knows the emperor's mind? These are just some appearances, she Su Jin'an doesn't know what other princes are like, but Rong Chengyi, the second prince Su Jin'an, still knows a little, he looks like a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, but in fact, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp inside, if he doesn't like political affairs, he doesn't want to participate in the battle for the throne and kill her. Now that the emperor is still in the prime of life, he has no intention of choosing a successor, Su Zheng just married his daughter to King Hui It seems that he has long had something to do with the four princes, but now Rong Chengyi has a good relationship with her father and eldest brother, if it is in the future......
"Smack-" Su Jinan was immersed in his thoughts, but his shoulder was suddenly patted, and he couldn't help jumping.
"What do you think? Look at you stunned alone. Su Muyang looked at his frightened sister and asked with a smile.
"Scared me." Su Jinan patted his chest and gave Su Muyang a roll of his eyes, "You don't go to congratulate the uncle, what are you doing to scare me." ”
"Uncle has so many people around, I can't get close, wait for someone to leave before I go." Su Muyan said he was helpless.
Su Muqing glanced at Su Jin'an when he heard their conversation: "It's too early now, just let it be, don't worry too much." ”
Su Jinan smiled and nodded: "I know, it's better for the eldest brother to do this kind of brain-consuming thing." ”
When Su Muqing heard the conversation between the two, something flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just looked at Su Jinan with a smile, only Su Murong on the side came over with a stupid face: "What are you talking about?" ”
The three of them looked at him in unison and said, "It's nothing. ”
Seeing that he was going to continue to ask, Su Muyang quickly picked up a chicken leg from the table and stuffed it into his mouth: "Eat more, and come with me to say hello to the uncle in a while." Su Murong nibbled on the chicken leg and nodded reluctantly.
A birthday banquet ended successfully in the joy of the guests and hosts.
After dinner, Su Jinan let the girls go to rest, and she leaned on the bedside to read, which may be caused by the habits of modern life, and she has never liked to go to bed early at night. The whole courtyard fell silent, only Su Jin'an's room still had a little light, and suddenly the glimmer swayed, Su Jinan raised her eyes, and there was one more person in her room.
The person who came was dressed in black, but there was no sense of slaughter, the black clothes were loosely worn by him with a sense of bohemianism and uninhibited amorousness, and his hair was not tied up but casually draped behind his head, this person entered Su Jin'an's room in the middle of the night not only did not hide his behavior, but sat at the table next to him casually as if he was in his own home, and poured himself a glass of water.
Half of his side face is hidden in the dark, and the other half is reflected by candlelight, the deep outline has a hint of mystery, he squints his eyes slightly, he can't see the emotions in his eyes, and the high bridge of his nose and upturned corners of his mouth make him look like a villain boss in a book.
Su Jinan was not surprised at all when he looked at the person in front of him, and after glancing at him, he continued to look at the book and said at the same time: "The master of the Black Feather Sect is here, and he is not welcome. ”
"Heh-" The visitor chuckled lightly when he heard Su Jin'an's words, "When did you become so polite?" Saying that, he got up and walked towards Su Jin'an, he walked very casually, but exuded an inexplicable aura, most people felt that they wanted to run away, but Su Jin'an ignored the aura around Si Tu's body, and still sat calmly, Si Tu snatched the book in Su Jin'an's hand and threw it aside at will, leaned over slightly to look at her, and said seriously: "There are no more than five people in this world who can be so calm under our Si Tu's aura." ”
"Oh-" Su Jin'an said expressionlessly, instantly ruining the serious atmosphere in the room.
"You ......" Si Tu was angry, pointed at Su Jinan with his index finger and couldn't speak, he finally became serious, this dead woman didn't give face at all, he was really angry.
Seeing Si Tu's angry and speechless appearance, Su Jinan smiled unkindly, obviously he was just a tease, but he had to pretend to be deep, and he deserved to die.
Si Tu's handsome face was even more distorted in Su Jin'an's smile, and he flicked his sleeves and turned around and sat back in the position he had just placed, not seeing how he acted, it seemed that he was the legendary martial arts master.
"It's boring, it's not likable at all." Si Tu judged Su Jin'an's answer.
"Did you come to me so late just to please you?" Su Jin'an got out of bed and walked to sit down opposite Si Tu, "If you have something, just say it." ”
"It's nothing, just to see how your days are in the capital." Si Tu played with the teacup in his hand and said casually, "Anyway, it's also my partner of the Black Feather Gate, so I can't let people wear small shoes." Although the words were casual, the eyes were full of seriousness.
"Haha-" Su Jin'an smiled, "It's rare that you still think about me, I have received this." ”
Si Tu looked at Su Jin'an and raised his head arrogantly: You don't take it. "Since you're alive and well, I'll go, and I'll find Si Luo if I have something." Si Tu was about to get up after speaking.
"Every time, let me find the deputy door master, what's the use of asking you as the door master?"
Si Tu handsomely shook the hair on his shoulders: "Of course, the door master is used to command the deputy door master. "That's what you say, it's a righteous and righteous word.
Su Jin'an was speechless, pitiful Si Luo didn't know what kind of sin he had created to meet such a master.
Seeing that Si Tu was about to climb out of the window, Su Jinan suddenly said: "Wait." ”
Si Tu, who was just about to be lucky, almost slipped out of the soles of his feet, and Si Tu turned his head with a dark face: "You did it on purpose." ”
Su Jinan said with an innocent face: "I just want to remind you that the weather is cold, and An Bai's prescription can be changed slightly." ”
As soon as he heard An Bai, Si Tu's face stopped darkening, but instead appeared with a rare seriousness: "How to change it?" ”
"I've changed it, and it's tucked away in the book you just lost." Su Jinan knew that Si Tu really cared about An Bai, and she didn't tease him.
Si Tu picked up the book just now from the end of the bed, and carefully put the prescription into his arms: "Thank you, is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”
"An Bai's physique is too weak, although he has improved after conditioning for so long, he can't be in a hurry, he can only make up for it slowly, not suitable for big supplements, I have written the specifics, don't give him indiscriminate eating." Su Jinan is still very responsible for her patients.
"Okay, got it." Only then would Si Tu be so obedient.
Su Jinan nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, you can go." When the words fell, Si Tu disappeared, and Su Jin'an smiled silently at the window that Si Tu had rolled over.
Si Tu, people who are not familiar with him think that his surname is Situ, but in fact, he is surnamed Si Mingtu, and he is as his name suggests, and he is in charge of the life and death power of the Black Feather Gate.
As a first-class killer organization, the Black Feather Gate is definitely a powerful faction, there are many killers in this world, but there are not many killer organizations, because the killer itself is a sharp blade, and there are very few people who can control this kind of sharp blade. Si Tu is the fourth-generation master of the Black Feather Sect, and his strength goes without saying, but this person has an uncertain temperament and acts ruthlessly, but there are not many people who can let him take action personally, so people on the road generally will not provoke him at will.
But in Su Jin'an's opinion, the so-called uncertainties are just a knot in his brain, although this person is very dissolute, but he still has his own way of doing things, otherwise he will not make the Black Feather Gate stronger and stronger. More than a year ago, Su Jinan left to practice medicine in Annan under the pseudonym Jun, and was approached by Si Tu, who originally sought medical treatment, but gradually became a close partner. With Su Jin'an's participation, the originally weak and poor intelligence network of the Black Feather Gate has become a pillar industry of the Black Feather Gate in addition to killing, and they are also doing intelligence trading while collecting intelligence information for themselves, which makes the Black Feather Gate have enough funds for development.
Of course, Su Jin'an's main reason for cooperating with Hei Yumen to engage in intelligence is to fully grasp Lin Wenguo's situation, and secondly, to make some money, after all, money can make ghosts grind, money is indispensable in Su Jin'an's plan, hard work pays off, and the results of Su Jin'an's hard work are still very considerable.
