Chapter 51: Trouble
It is rare that the family is here, and the old lady is happy and lively on weekdays, so Su Jiannan specially asked people to set a table in Jingde Courtyard. As always, Su Jiannan's side was still sitting next to the Fu family, Shen Manxin was sitting with his daughter, and Su Jinzhao and his younger brother were of course next to the Fu family.
"The general has been away for a long time, and he couldn't rush back to reunite with his family on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the old lady has been talking about you that day, and today everyone is finally complete." Fu said with a smile on his face.
Su Jiannan's expression moved slightly, and he said to his mother: "My son is not filial, so my mother is worried."
The old lady waved her hand and said, "It's good to come back, do you have the heart, you have to accompany me to eat this meal today."
Su Jiannan nodded.
Su Jinzhao watched the family sitting around a table, and his heart was moved, such a scene seemed to be many years ago.
She thanked God for giving her the opportunity to reunite with her family, after all, such a warm picture is rare.
"Don't be stunned, move your chopsticks." Su Jiannan looked at everyone, looked at his youngest son, looked like a loving father, and said to him with a smile, "Father asked the kitchen to make your favorite sweet and sour lotus root, eat more." ”
As he spoke, he sandwiched the dishes for Su Chengye.
Su Chengye thanked his father, looked at the eldest sister beside him, and said to his father: "Of course, I like sweet and sour lotus root, but the baked cakes made by the eldest sister are also delicious."
Su Jiannan listened, looked at the eldest daughter in front of him, his eyes showed approval, but he quickly retreated.
Su Jinzhao looked at it in his eyes and seemed to understand something, probably related to the last banquet.
Fu Shi on the side, his eyes flashed, the smile on his face was still there, and he interjected: "Chengye, you see how good your father is to you, you need to eat more tonight."
Su Chengye responded.
Su Jinling looked at the scene in front of him, and saw that his father doted on his little daughter, but he didn't pay much attention to her, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, so he said loudly: "My father only has his younger brother in his eyes now, I'm afraid he has forgotten my daughter."
Su Jinling likes to compete for favor, and she can't see the good of others, but these haven't changed at all.
Without waiting for his father to speak, Su Jinzhao took the first step and said: "Among the few of us, Shu Chengye is the youngest, and my father should care more about it, why should you be a sister and worry about your younger brother, it is always a family."
This sounds unintentional, but if you look closely, it is too profound.
Competing for favor with her younger brother, this is undoubtedly saying that she is narrow-minded and can't even tolerate her younger brother.
Su Jinling was choked and speechless for a while.
She didn't know when Su Jinzhao became so eloquent, and she had nothing to say in a few words. It's no wonder that Fu's eyes on his daughter are different from the past.
As a mother, Shen Manxin naturally wanted to speak for Su Jinling's inappropriate words and deeds: "The eldest lady misunderstood, Jinling is just joking with the general, why should you take it seriously."
Sure enough, it was a biological mother and daughter, and I couldn't see Su Jinling suffer a trace of grievances.
Su Jinzhao was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "How does my aunt know that I am not joking with my second sister."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Manxin's face was not very good for a while, so he stopped talking.
With her embarrassing identity, it is rare to be able to sit with everyone today, and she really shouldn't talk much.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and as for whether it is a joke or not, everyone knows it.
When Su Jinling saw it, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and she was so angry that her teeth itched, but she couldn't show it in front of everyone, and she was really embarrassed.
The atmosphere became a little unusual.
Fu Shi glanced at Su Jiannan, understood in his heart, and said to everyone: "Look at the dishes on this table, if you don't move the chopsticks, it's not good if it's cold."
After that, he started eating with chopsticks.
Seeing this, everyone picked up chopsticks. Su Jiannan's face softened a lot for a while.
At this time, Fu Shi glanced at Su Jinling, who was eating, as if he remembered something, raised his eyes to look at Jin Zhao, and asked quietly: "By the way, I haven't seen that girl in Rouge for a few days, and that girl has been following you, why don't you see her?"
Su Jinzhao's hand paused, her mother was the head mother of the Su family, and there was nothing she didn't know about the affairs in the house, so asking her like this obviously had another purpose.
Su Jinzhao put down his chopsticks and replied truthfully: "That girl was beaten to death by a stick."
The tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard. However, Su Jinling, who was on the other side, froze his whole body when he heard this, and his face turned slightly pale.
When Fu Shi heard this, he put away his smile and asked with a slightly gloomy face: "Who is so bold that he actually beat the eldest lady's maid to death?"
Su Jinzhao glanced at Su Jinling, who had a strange look on her face, and replied unhurriedly: "I have to ask the second sister, and I don't know how my maid rouge offended her and beat people to death."
Hearing this, Su Jinling's face became very ugly.
Seeing this, the maid Xia Fu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The eldest lady doesn't know, the rouge girl ran to Rongxiu Courtyard to slander and frame the second miss, and the words were extremely ugly, and the second miss asked her to shut up, but she became even worse. Rouge committed a crime, and in desperation, this taught her a lesson. Who knew how to start, and he didn't know how serious he was, so he killed the person......"
After finishing speaking, Fu Shi looked displeased, slapped the chopsticks on the table, and scolded: "Unruly girl."
was scolded by Fu Shi, and Xia Fu was so frightened that she immediately shut up.
Su Jinling had to speak up and explained: "Father and mother don't know, Rouge's girl slandered her daughter, originally I just wanted to teach her a lesson, who wants to beat people to death without knowing the severity, for this daughter also reprimanded them fiercely, Rouge's death, the daughter is really unintentional."
As she spoke, Su Jinling pretended to be weak and looked sad.
This is her usual trick.
When Su Jiannan heard this, he inevitably said to her: "No matter how bad that girl is, you can't beat people to death." If this spreads, what will others think of our Su family. ”
Su Jinling lowered her head and did not make a sound.
Fu Shi also said: "The general is right, others who don't know still think that our second miss of the Su family is a vicious family, and she can do it to a little girl."
Su Jinling listened, and her heart was even more unhappy, this was clearly accusing her of not.
Sure enough, as long as there is an opportunity, Fu will not let it go.
If Su Jinzhao made a mistake today, I am afraid that Fu Shi would have come out to help speak, where would he add oil and vinegar.
At this time, Steward Feng hurried over.
Su Jiannan put down his chopsticks and said, "What's wrong?"
Steward Feng is steady, at such an important moment, if there is something important, he will not come to disturb at this time.
Steward Feng walked to Su Jiannan's side and replied respectfully: "General Hui, there are people making trouble outside, and they have been shouting and scolding outside and refusing to leave, and the slave saw that the situation was serious, so he specially came over to pay homage to you, master."
