Rong Chengyi and Rong Chengyi walked silently for a while, Rong Chengyi suddenly sniffed, he seemed to smell a smell of meat, and it was almost noon when he saw the sky, he felt a little hungry when he smelled this fragrance.

"It's so fragrant, can anyone still have a picnic on this snowy day?" Rong Chengyi muttered to himself, then turned his head and instructed Ye Xiu: "Ye Xiu, go and have a look." ”

"Yes-" Ye Xiu rode away first.

After a while, Ye Xiu came back, but his face was a little weird, Rong Chengyi looked at it and asked, "What's the matter, did you meet an acquaintance?" ”

"Back to the master, it's the Su family brothers." Ye Xiu hugged his fists.

"Oh? Great acquaintance! How did they come here on this cold day, and who are they clearly? Rong Chengyi was also surprised.

"Only the three of them remained...... Miss Sue. Ye Xiu was a little hesitant when he said Su Jin'an.

Rong Chengyi listened to it and pondered for a while, then smiled, and patted Rong Chengyi on the shoulder: "Let's go, take you to meet my friend." ”

"No, no." Rong Chengjiao coldly refused.

"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse, they are the children of Su Mu, the third room of the Su family, they met when they were in Huailing, Su Mu you know, it is the deputy envoy of the town when he cleaned up Nanyuan, this year his father transferred him back, it is estimated that he will stay in Beijing in the future, and he will definitely deal with him in the future, there is nothing bad about knowing him in advance, just give me a face." Rong Chengyi persuaded: "Besides, I won't harm you, the Su family is very interesting, let's go, maybe you can sacrifice the Five Organs Temple." ”

Rong Chengjiao did not refuse again.

Here, Su Jinan saw that everyone was tired of playing, and it was almost noon, so he asked someone to set up a barbecue grill and put the meat that was marinated before leaving. As soon as the aroma wafted up, people's mouths watered, and they were hungry even if they weren't very hungry. Su Jinan looked at the direction of Puguang Temple and said, fortunately, although it is the mountain behind Puguang Temple, it is no longer within the scope of Puguang Temple, otherwise it is estimated that it will be driven away by the monks.

Su Jin'an and the four of them were enjoying the delicious scenery in the pavilion, and the maid was also eating happily while roasting on the side, just when everyone was in the mood, a discordant voice floated in, making people stop their movements and look at the comer.

"You guys are really Yaxing, it's cold and snowy here, but the fragrance is overflowing here, it's really enviable!" Rong Chengyi strode over with a fan that was extremely discordant with the weather, the smile on his face was like a streamer from the nine heavens, and the beauty made people unable to take their eyes off, although the person in front of him was very eye-catching, but it was still very displeasing to disturb other people's good times, but there were still some little maids who had never seen the world who were fascinated, Su Jinan expressed disdain, as if he had forgotten that he had also planted under this smile several times.

It wasn't until Rong Chengyi walked into the pavilion that people reacted, and Su Muqing and the others were just about to get up and salute, but they were stopped by Rong Chengyi: "Don't don't, keep a low profile." ”

Su Jin'an glanced at him, now he knows that he is low-key, why didn't he know that he was low-key when he came in just now. Su Jin'an just took his eyes off Rong Chengyi, and suddenly looked into a pair of red pupils, and was amazed for a moment: such beautiful eyes! Su Jinan first thought of contact lenses, and then thought about it, isn't right, the contact lenses came from there in ancient times, so it means that this person's eyes themselves are red? Su Jinan couldn't help but glance at him more, but found that he was also looking at him, so he looked away and turned to Rong Chengyi, waiting for his next step. But I couldn't help but think in my heart: this person's eyes are really cold, there is no temperature at all, it is obviously a warm color on his face, but it seems to have been dug out of the cold ice of ten thousand years.

Su Jinan didn't know how much his subconscious emotions shocked Rong Chengjiao, he Rong Chengjiao, since he can remember, has been accepting other people's strange eyes, there are disgust, ridicule, sympathy, and surprise, the best thing is that there is no emotion, but he knows that this kind of person is not really emotionless, but they control it very well and don't show it. But there was amazement and admiration in the woman's eyes just now, no one had ever looked at him like this, he wondered if he had made a mistake in his eyes, and he had an urge to grab her and ask what was going on.

"Let me introduce you, this is my fifth brother." Rong Chengyi's words made Rong Chengyi retract his mind.

The Su brothers were also a little surprised to see Rong Chengyao, this is the legendary "Red-eyed Hades", because they have heard about it for a long time, they are not very surprised, only Su Murong stared at others with a strange face, and was pinched by Su Muyang before standing obediently, followed by Su Muqing and Su Muyang to salute Rong Chengyao, they are all people who understand, since Rong Chengyi said that he wanted to keep a low profile, and did not say Rong Chengyi's identity, then they naturally don't have to pierce it.

Rong Chengyi didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and greeted him like a master while sitting down: "Sit, you're welcome." ”

Su Jinan was speechless, this person is really like a scoundrel sometimes, but who makes someone handsome, even if he is a scoundrel, he can't be hated, not to mention that he is still the emperor's son, they can't afford to offend, so they can only compromise and let Xia Qu add two pairs of chopsticks.

Rong Chengyi elegantly tasted the wine that Su Muqing personally served him, while Rong Chengyi watched as the reddish-brown liquid handed over by Su Muyang did not move.

"Medicinal wine, it seems that this is exclusive to Brother Mu Qing, but the taste this time is a bit flattering." Rong Chengyi took a small sip and smacked his lips.

"If Brother Rong Cheng is not used to drinking, let's drink tea." Su Muqing said.

"Then I'll drink tea." Rong Chengyi agreed, and then saw that Rong Chengyi had no intention of drinking, Rong Chengyi persuaded: "Fifth brother, the food of this Su family is different from other places, you might as well try it." ”

Although Rong Chengyi was surprised that Rong Chengyi was so defenseless to the people of the Su family and actually ate the things here at will, he still didn't move.

Rong Chengyi touched his nose a little embarrassed, took the wine glass in Su Muyang's hand and smiled: "Don't mind, my fifth brother is born to be silent, forget about this wine." He put his glass aside.

"On such a cold day, since the wine here is not smooth, why don't you go back to your house for a drink?" Su Jin'an saw that Rong Chengyi had the intention of staying, and said loudly.

"Jin'an, don't be so stingy, can't I eat two bites of food if I don't drink?" Rong Chengyi ignored Su Jin'an's vague eviction order.

Under the "company" of Rong Chengyi, Rong Chengyi changed his idle appearance in the past, sat for less than a quarter of an hour and left, looking at the few people who were far away, Su Muyang breathed a long sigh of relief: "I finally left, I finally came out once and met two big Buddhas, really." ”

"That must be the fifth prince - King Yan, I have long heard that this King Yan is a killing god, and today I saw that the momentum was really extraordinary." Su Muqing looked at the direction where Rong Chengzhen was far away and said lightly.

"King Yan, it seems that he has just returned to Beijing, hasn't he been stationed in Beiguan all the time?" Su Muyan wondered.

"Beiguan has been completely pacified half a year ago, and Beidi will not be able to fight again for at least five years." Su Muqing said briefly.

Su Muyang suddenly realized, since there was no war at the border pass, and Rong Chengjiao was the prince, how could the emperor let him stay in the army again?

Su Jin'an heard them talking about Rong Chengxuan, thinking of his red eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Is he a mixed-race?" ”

"What?" Su Muqing and the three of them looked at Su Jinan suspiciously, and she said strange words again.

"Haha, that, I mean his mother is not from another country." Su Jin'an explained with a smile.

"This ......" Su Muyang was interrupted by Su Murong as soon as he spoke.

"I know this!" Su Murong slapped the table excitedly and said: "I heard that King Yan was brought back by the emperor when he personally conquered Beidi, when he was already four years old, it is rumored that his mother was a beauty who was once given to the emperor by Beidi, and Beidi pretended to be friendly with our country and dedicated it to the emperor A beauty, but this beauty is actually a fine work." Saying this, Su Murong suddenly stopped, pretending to be mysterious: "Guess what." ”

Su Muyang kicked Su Murong's buttocks: "Say it well, hurry up!" ”

Su Murong rubbed the kicked buttocks, and reluctantly continued: "Later, this beauty disappeared after a year, and no one knows where she went." ”

"Gone?" Su Muyan was a little surprised.

"Then why do you say that King Yan is the child of that beauty?" Su Jin'an didn't think the two things were related.

Su Murong smiled and touched his chin: "Because, it is said that that beauty has red eyes!" The last few words Su Murong deliberately said very loudly, startling Su Jin'an, and reached out and poked his head hard.

Su Muyang got up directly and chased after Su Murong, and the two made a mess in the snow again.

Looking at the two of them who were fighting, Su Muqing shook his head, and saw that Su Jinan was a little distracted, and asked out loud, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's no why, it's just that there are still some things I can't figure out." Su Jinan shook her head.

"Let's not think too much about the royal private affairs, just let it pass, don't care." Su Muqing said.

"Well, I understand." Su Jinan said obediently.

Yan Wang, she had also heard of it. At the age of thirteen, he was crowned king, Ciyan Wangfu, the first prince to be crowned king, at the age of fifteen, he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, made countless achievements, and also killed countless people. And it is said that this person is cold-blooded by nature and has a thirst for killing, and is known as the "red-eyed Hades". Although the rumors cannot be believed, but when I saw Zhenrang today, I also felt that these rumors were not groundless.

The New Year is just around the corner, today is the 30th day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, and after today, it will be a new year.

This year is the first time that Su Mu's family has spent the New Year in this Su house, and Su Mansion has finally had a real reunion year over the years, so this year Su Mansion has been very lively, and even the red envelopes given to the juniors are much richer than in previous years.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the juniors have to keep the year for their elders to show filial piety, although Su Mu and Mrs. Su don't care about this, Su Jinan still insists on keeping it until dawn every year. This year is no exception, after having a reunion dinner and accompanying Mrs. Su to watch the play, Su Jinan and Su Muyang and Su Murong returned to their yard when it was already late at night, in the past, when they were in Huailing, because Su Muqing was not in good health, every Chinese New Year's Eve was the three of them keeping the New Year together, although Su Murong would fall asleep every time, but at least he was with them.

"It's a cold day." Su Murong entered the house and went straight to the carbon furnace on the ground, "It's better to be in Huailing, where is there such a cold weather, it's so cold that my hands are going to fall off." ”

"Why don't you feel cold when you're playing in the snow?" Su Muyang laughed when he heard Su Murong's little complaints.

"Who said I wasn't too cold, I just thought it was rare so I endured it." Su Murong had an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Hahaha, that's really hard for you, then I won't take you next time." Seeing Su Murong's expression, Su Muyang laughed.

"That's not good, I'm going to go even if it's cold." Su Murong said seriously.

Su Jin'an set up the chessboard on the side, raised his head and signaled to Su Muyang: "Let's have two games." ”

Life in ancient times was not as colorful as in modern times, and Su Jinan was a woman and couldn't run around, so Go was one of her few hobbies. In the past, Su Jin'an would definitely not like such a time-consuming and brain-consuming thing in modern times, but after coming to ancient times, Su Jin'an still felt that it was very good, the small chessboard was all-encompassing and unpredictable, and it was worthy of being the most complex board game in the world. Su Jin'an's Go is taught by Su Muqing, Su Muqing has been soaked in the stacks of books since he can remember due to his poor health, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is only eight buckets high and rich in five cars, and his chess skills are not to mention the exquisiteness, so Su Jin'an's chess skills are naturally also good.

"Come on!" Su Muyang showed the same arrogance as going to the battlefield, every time he couldn't get off his eldest brother, even his sister couldn't go down has always been his pain as a second brother, so he has been defeated again and again, and he has been persevering and firmly believes that one day he will succeed.

Su Murong, who came over warmly, jumped in the middle of the game between the two: "You have to play chess again, I must see the second brother lose this year, and I won't fall asleep again." ”

"Poof, hahaha" Su Muyang laughed unabashedly when he heard it, "Okay, then it's up to you to see if you can survive until I lose." ”

Su Jinan also smiled when he heard Su Murong's unconvincing assurance: "You didn't say that in what year, you didn't sleep like a pig in the end." As he spoke, he reached out and tugged at his cheek.

Su Murong hurriedly rescued his cheek from Su Jin'an's hand and slapped the table: "Hmph, just look at it, I must be different from previous years this year." ”

Su Jinan and Su Muyang glanced at each other, both smiled and didn't speak, and continued to play chess. Seeing that the two didn't react, Su Murong snorted, moved a stool and sat between the two, and watched the two of them go back and forth on the chessboard with wide eyes.

Half an hour passed, and Su Murong was still sitting upright, but his eyes were no longer so focused.

Another half an hour passed, and Su Murong lay down, but he hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Half an hour passed again......

An hour passed......

Su Jinan smiled confidently and fell down, once again defeating Su Muyang. When he turned his head, he saw Su Murong leaning on the ground, his head buried in his chest, and the shiny liquid hanging on the corner of his mouth, he had already fallen asleep, and he couldn't help but smile even happier. Before Su Muyang had time to mourn his fiasco, he was amused by Su Murong's appearance.

Su Muyang stretched his waist and walked towards Su Murong, squatting down in front of Su Murong, Su Muyang wanted to laugh even more, he smiled and took out a golden hairpin from Su Murong's hand hanging on the side, and shook it at Su Jin'an.

"Isn't this my hairpin?" Su Jinan was puzzled.

"yes, if only he had done something else so hard." Su Muyang was a little helpless, "He's 'stabbing stocks'." ”

Su Jinan walked in and found that Su Murong's hand still maintained the movement of stabbing, but she didn't expect that the "head cantilever beam cone thorn strand" could be used like this, and she also had a long experience. But it looked like Su Murong had been asleep for a while, and Su Jinan was afraid that his neck would hurt the next day, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped his saliva for him, straightened his head, and said to Su Muyang: "It's cold on the ground, get him to bed." ”

"It's time to keep him cold." Saying this, the movements in his hands did not stop, and he took off Su Murong's saliva-soaked coat in three or two strokes, threw it aside in disgust, and carried Su Murong on his shoulders and walked inside.

Su Jinan followed behind, but almost hit Su Muyang, who suddenly stopped in front: "What's wrong?" Su Jinan asked.

"An'er, you and Rong'er will be almost fifteen after the New Year." Su Muyang didn't look back and suddenly asked.

"Well, what's wrong?" Su Jinan still didn't quite understand.

Su Muyang turned around with a somewhat strange expression: "Otherwise, I'll send him back." ”

Looking at Su Muyang, Su Jinan suddenly understood, did his second brother want to say "there is a difference between men and women"?

Su Jin'an suddenly smiled and patted Su Muyang's shoulder: "Let's go, Rong'er's head will be congested if you carry it like this again." After saying that, he walked in front first.

Su Muyang hesitated for a moment but followed, put Su Murong on the bed, and Su Jinan covered the quilt for him. Su Murong finally found a comfortable place, turned over and slept even dead.

Back in the outer room, Su Jinan spoke first: "When does the second brother care about these false courtesies, no matter how old Rong'er is, isn't he still a younger brother, what did the second brother want to say just now?" ”

Su Muyang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "Uh, hehe, it's nothing, it's just that there are too many rules here, I, my ...... I'm just afraid that people will break their mouths, and I'm afraid that the old lady will say you. ”

"Second brother is afraid that I will follow in your footsteps?" Su Jinan said a little evilly.

Su Muyang was taken aback: "What, what's wrong, what's wrong with me!" Su Muyan pretended to be calm.

Su Jinan was not in a hurry: "It's nothing, I just heard about it a few days ago......" Su Jin'an saw Su Muyang's weak heart and deliberately paused, "I heard that the second son of the third room and a girl named Qiu Xin ......"

"Don't listen to their nonsense, I have nothing to do with her! That's all a misunderstanding! Before Su Jinan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Su Muyang.

Seeing that Su Muyang's anxious face turned red, Su Jinan stopped teasing him: "I know, I know you didn't plan to accept her, but why did this kind of rumor come out, have you thought about it?" ”

"You, how can you ......" Su Muyang's face turned even redder, even he was embarrassed to say something, how could An'er be a girl, but it seemed to be too, why did those messy rumors suddenly appear, and blurted out inadvertently: "Why?" ”

Su Jinan smiled and didn't answer directly, but continued: "Second brother, you are sixteen this year, the Su Mansion is a family of eunuchs, and my father has some military merits, and it is estimated that he will stay in the capital in the future, the eldest brother is not in good health, so the marriage has been delayed, and I don't need to say more about the weight of the second son of your Su family." ”

Saying this, Su Muyang still doesn't understand anything, it seems that he is already meat in the eyes of others, Su Muyang's face is a little serious, how long has he been back in Beijing, and he has become the object of other people's calculations, the water in this capital is too deep.

Seeing that Su Muyang was clear, Su Jinan didn't say any more, looked at the sky outside and changed the topic: "It's almost dawn, it's time for the second brother to practice in the morning, how about I accompany you today?" ”

Su Muyang saw that Su Jinan had changed the topic, and he also put this aside in advance, in short, he had to be more careful in the future. Putting down his thoughts, Su Muyang smiled again: "Okay, the second brother will point you out today." After that, the two went out of the house together and started to fight in Su Jin'an's small courtyard.

When Su Murong woke up, it was almost hour, he was lying on the bed and looked at the pale pink bed curtains around him in a daze, and suddenly a carp jumped to the ground, and poked his head with some annoyance: "Su Murong, Su Murong, why are you asleep again, can you not be so embarrassed." ”

Just when Su Murong was annoyed, Su Muyang had already changed into new clothes and walked in leisurely, a purple robe made him completely lose his usual cynical temperament, a little more mature and steady, the belt with white jade embedded in the waist was beautifully embroidered, and he knew that it was not ordinary at a glance, looking at Su Murong's frowning brows, he was in a good mood and quipped: "Yo, fourth brother, you are up, why are you crying early in the morning on the first day of the new year?" That's unlucky! ”。

Su Murong glanced back at him, he wanted to fight back, but he was stunned for a moment after seeing Su Muyang's dress, and then forgot what he was about to say, turned around Su Muyang with wide eyes, and reached out to touch it twice from time to time: "Second brother, you want to go on a blind date." ”

Su Muyang slapped his hand away, walked to the side and sat down and said angrily: "What, can't I usually wear it better, besides, today I want to greet the elders, you hurry up and pack up, your new clothes have been brought to you just now, don't rub your third sister is probably already waiting." ”

Su Jinan is indeed already in the side hall, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and after breakfast, he will start to pay New Year's greetings, first of all, he will go to his father's Huifeng Garden, and then go to Master Su and the old lady with his father, and finally there are uncles and uncles, etc., Su Jinan thought carefully, and didn't even hear Su Muqing come in.

"Ahem-" Su Muqing coughed lightly to show his presence.

Sure enough, Su Jinan immediately noticed him: "Big brother? Why are you here, it's time for us to look for you. ”

"I knew that the second brother and the fourth brother must be here with you, and now the fourth brother probably hasn't gotten up yet, if I don't come, then I have to wait until when!" Su Muqing's words were full of helplessness.

"Big brother! I've been up a long time ago, don't talk nonsense. As soon as Su Muqing's words fell, Su Murong's voice came, and then a dark red figure flashed in, and a beautiful swivel sat firmly opposite Su Muqing, Su Murong was dressed in a dark red brocade robe, embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns of the same color, all trimmed with gold threads, looking extraordinarily energetic, at this moment he was a little proud and continued: "You yourself think that a person is boring and came over early." ”

"You think everyone is like you, sleeping lazily and blaming others." Su Muyan also walked in after him.

Su Jinan looked at the two of them a little speechless, obviously they were a pair of brothers, but every time they met, it was as if the other party owed him money, and he couldn't do it for a day. Seeing that Su Murong was about to fry his hair again, Su Jinan hurriedly said: "Okay, since everyone has arrived, let's hurry up and eat, there will be a lot of things to do in a while." ”

Chinese New Year is a busy and joyful day. It wasn't until after lunch that Su Jin'an was free, because the ancients did not pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon, so even if they were busy all morning, it was not a problem for Su Jin'an, who was lying on the bed at the moment.

Zizhu was a little distressed when she saw her young lady lying on the bed without changing her clothes and didn't want to move, where did she use it so hard in Huailing before, so she stepped forward and persuaded her: "Miss, you didn't sleep last night, and now when you're tired, change your clothes and sleep for a while, anyway, no one should come in the afternoon." ”

"yes, okay." Su Jin'an lazily stretched out her hand and let Zizhu take off her coat.

When Su Jinan was about to fall asleep, Xia Qu walked in, and Zizhu stopped her: "Miss is tired, let's talk about it when Miss wakes up." ”

Before Xia Qu could say yes, Su Jin'an's voice came out: "I haven't fallen asleep yet, just say something." ”

Xia Qu stepped forward and said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask Miss if she is going tonight?" ”

"Don't you know this, I won't go for any year." Su Jin'an's voice became smaller and quieter the more she spoke, and she felt like she was about to fall asleep.

"I'm just worried about Miss, after all, this place is not as good as Huailing, since Miss is going to I'm going to prepare."

"Well, go ahead." After Su Jin'an finished speaking, she fell asleep, and Xia Qu tucked the quilt for her and retreated with Zizhu.
