173. Brother suspicion
Su Xiaojin and Tang Muchen stood side by side in the courtyard to admire the moon. It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon is getting rounder and rounder. Su Xiaojin looked at the full moon above his head, and felt a little sad in his heart.
Since the death of their parents, the Mid-Autumn Festival every year is a full moon and people are not round, and the two of them have finally supported them all the way to the present. Now that she has a home, her life is sweeter than honey, but her brother's marriage has not been settled for a long time, and she can't rest assured that she is a sister. I believe that my parents will definitely blame her sister for being ignorant.
"Jin'er?" Seeing that she had been silent, Tang Muchen couldn't get used to it. He had become accustomed to her whispering in his ear, and now that he had suddenly become so quiet, he was a little worried.
Su Xiaojin raised his head, tears in his eyes. After she became pregnant, her whole mood changed a lot, and she often saw things and thought about things alone, and her eyes were red unconsciously.
"What's wrong with you?" He approached her, held her somewhat cold hand, and asked uneasily.
Su Xiaojin shook his head and said that it was nothing, but he had been more and more fond of reminiscing about the past recently, so there were a lot of tears.
Tang Muchen knew that she must have something on her mind, so he thoughtfully took her hand, put her head on his shoulder, and said softly, don't be afraid, I am here.
Su Xiaojin was amused by his somewhat cool appearance. This guy is still very good at pleasing women. When I first met him, I thought he was made of thousands of years of ice, but I didn't expect that now he is also melted by his own gentleness.
Seeing her turn from sadness to joy, Tang Muchen's brows also relaxed, nothing is more important than her, and only she can easily control her emotions.
"I'm just worried about my brother." She was afraid that Tang Muchen would be thinking nonsense, so she hurriedly said what was on her mind.
Tang Muchen nodded, he knew it would be like this. In her eyes, the most important thing is Su Xiaoqian, he is her only relative in this world.
Thinking of this, he was a little jealous. Although I also know that I shouldn't be jealous of my brother-in-law, I still can't help but feel sour in my heart.
"Don't worry, I am protecting him in the court, and the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to him. As for his marriage, I, as a brother-in-law, should have planned for him. If he and the third princess are in love, I will try my best to match this beautiful matter. Tang Muchen's words gave Su Xiaojin a reassurance.
Although the younger brother is smart and clever, he is a rare general, but because of his straightforward personality, it is inevitable to offend some dignitaries and nobles sometimes. Fortunately, Tang Muchen took good care of him, and he was finally able to relax a little.
"Speaking of the court, I haven't reminded him to be cautious in the future. The officialdom is sinister, and you must not be sharp in your life and work, otherwise you will inevitably fall into the truth. Su Xiaojin remembered that day when he fought in the court, and he was a little afraid.
Tang Muchen nodded in agreement, and the couple thought of going together. The so-called officialdom is like a battlefield, and sometimes it is better to keep your head in obscurity and pretend to be confused.
The west wing was brightly lit, and two young men sat across the dining table. The table is full of delicacies and looks tempting.
"Second brother, didn't you hear your mother say that she is going to let you marry the third princess of the Holy Lord." Tang Fan poured wine while observing his words.
He carefully set up a dinner today, just to find out the tone of his second brother.
"I don't want it! Big brother, if you like to pursue it boldly, I won't compete with you. Tang Yan threw peanuts into his mouth while dangling his legs uninhibitedly.
Today, he wore an ice-blue shirt with narrow sleeves, embroidered with royal blue silk thread on the placket and cuffs, and indigo trousers tied in brocade boots. Because I'm used to being lazy on weekdays, I lean on the bed casually, looking like a child.
Tang Yan listened to his mother a few days ago, but he didn't take it to heart. I heard that the emperor's third princess is beautiful and virtuous, and she is very dignified. But I'm the girl who likes Baihualou. If he really obeyed his mother's arrangement and married the princess, wouldn't he be able to run to Baihualou again in the future. He's not stupid, he can't do anything about picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
"Hey, brother, what do you mean by this, the brothers are eating and chatting, why did you get drunk before you drank?" Tang Fan put down his wine glass and looked around alertly.
"Don't worry, no one hears!" Tang Yan looked at him as timid as a mouse and smiled disapplausively.
The eldest brother is really unproductive, what kind of place is the Hou Mansion, how can anyone come and come out if he wants to?
Tang Fan smiled a little embarrassedly, it's always right to be cautious. If the conversation between the two reached the ears of the emperor, he would not have to finish eating and walking.
"Why?" He looked at his brother suspiciously. If you can marry the princess and become the master of the horse, you will become the most supportive person in the capital, and who will not dare to give three points in this waiting house. Not to mention anything else, just that dead-faced Tang Muchen, the first to bow down to himself, he feels majestic when he thinks about it.
"I've never liked any of the ladies. One by one, they were dressed upright, and they were extremely boring. Or the girl in Baihualou is the most suitable for me, not only can sing songs, but also laugh and amuse, and life is not happy with them. Tang Yan pursed his lips, looking indifferent.
Tang Fan looked at his younger brother shrewdly, speculating in his heart that he could believe what he said. Looking at his calm and calm face, it doesn't seem to be pretending. But if he really meant it, wouldn't he want to give up the position of the master of the horse that everyone was vying for?
"My brother's words are wrong, although the woman in Baihualou is more interesting than the woman in the boudoir, but it's okay to drink and have fun, and it won't work to marry home as a wife after all. Even if your mother agrees, your father will definitely break your legs. ”
After Tang Fan finished speaking, he glanced at his younger brother deeply. He deliberately tested him, just to see if Tang Yan's plan in his heart was the same as himself, if he also coveted the princess's beauty and power, it was better for him to strike first.
"Ha, my brother laughed. Naturally, I know the rules of the Houfu, and I will never marry a fireworks woman, but the princess really has no fate for me, and I don't want to waste my efforts. Tang Yan finished eating the peanuts in his hand, clapped his hands and tidied up the clothes on his body.
"This, I don't see it, but the head card of Baihualou gave it to me." He tore a brand new purse from his waist and handed it to his brother opposite.
It's not so much to look at as to show off. He took this purse for five hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, how can you stand out among so many sons and win the heart of the Cuihua girl?
Tang Fan took it and took a look, the emerald green silk was embroidered with willow leaves, and the meaning was obvious. The embroidery is also quite fine, although it is still a little worse than the embroidery skills of their Houfu, but it is not ashamed to see people.
"It's just a purse, what woman in the world can't embroider?" Tang Fan scoffed. It's just such a thing, and I really don't see any difference from what ordinary women give away.
