Chapter 43: Miss Su asked Baolu to take a line and invite Han San to the 'Hongmen Banquet'?
Early the next morning, Bao Lu wore a new set of clothes that Han San gave him kindly, and went to Baihualou with the clothes and sheets that had been washed and dried yesterday in a sunny mood.
Baolu, who hasn't worn new clothes for a long time, is a little brisk, although she is a little reluctant to accept Han San's gift, but being able to go out beautifully always makes a woman's mood jump, she can't wait to meet Su Peiyi and others, she doesn't mean to show off, but she also wants to hear a few words of praise.
After counting the items and greeting a few words with Sister-in-law Liu, who was in charge of handing over and inspecting the goods, she found an excuse to sneak to the second floor where Miss was located, knocked on the door gently, and after hearing the voice of Miss's promise, Baolu pushed the door in.
After laughing with the little sister, Su Peiyi sent Ai Dai and Lilac out of the room.
Bao Lu was a little strange, because she was obviously splitting the two, could it be that there was something inconvenient to tell herself? After watching Su Peiyi become solemn at the moment the door closed, Baolu was even more curious.
"How did you know that man you met outside your house yesterday?"
Su Peiyi slowed down her tone as much as she could, as if she was casually asking like a normal chat.
"Han San?"
Bao Lu really felt inexplicable, but when he looked back and thought about the appearance of the young lady that day, he seemed to recognize him, and it was natural to ask today, so he told all the things he had done with Han San. Among them, he also expressed his guess about Han San's identity, thinking that he could inquire about some facts from Miss.
"He said he was in business?"
Su Peiyi is a little clear, after all, that person's identity is noble, and it is true that he can't tell the truth when he is friends with someone like Baolu, but he didn't lie about the family situation he fabricated, the widow and the little sister, and indeed the relatives around him are these two.
"Baolu, I left you alone today to talk because I have something to ask you."
Su Peiyi, who thought for a moment, said to Baolu with some solemnity.
"Miss, if you have any orders, just say it, what Baolu can do will never shirk, don't say anything to ask, I can't afford it!"
Baolu listened to Su Peiyi, who was so serious, and felt that she didn't treat herself as a sister, not to mention that she used to be an errand under her and took care of her, even if her identity has changed now, she is not the kind of ungrateful person, she is really a little unaccustomed to talking to herself like this.
As if she didn't care about what Bao Lu said, Su Peiyi was immersed in her own plan, looking at the teapot on the table with misty eyes, but what she said was something else.
"I think there are many strange things about my father's conviction, but now that I am in prison, I am not free, and I can't do anything to find out the truth and avenge my father. Han San's ...... If I can cling to some powers, I will not only be able to solve my current predicament, but also fight for a lot of convenience for my father's affairs. ”
Speaking of this, Su Peiyi turned her head, stared at Baolu with pleading eyes, and said:
"Since he concealed his identity and befriended you, he must have genuinely regarded you as a friend. And you said that he would visit your house often, and you would do me a favor and find a way for me to get to know him, so that I would have a chance to vindicate my father! ”
Baolu, who was held by the hand, was a little in a dilemma, and it was difficult to answer for a while.
Not to mention what Han San thinks about himself, what Miss said is a bit inconsistent, if you really treat it as a friend, wouldn't it be unreasonable to hide your identity? And introducing the two to each other, how can Han San agree to help? For such a big thing, if you work hard for no reason, it is impossible for anyone to nod easily.
But in the face of such an urgent look, Baolu couldn't bear to refuse, hesitated again and again, and she finally agreed.
The next thing is to follow Su Peiyi's instructions and make an appointment with Han San, who will come over next time, to have dinner in a restaurant in the city.
When he mentioned this matter to Han San in the middle, Bao Lu kept looking at Han San's expression, from the confusion of making the suggestion at the beginning to the later knowing that it was Su Peiyi who hosted the banquet and entertained him, and guessed that the two of them had really known each other before.
However, Bao Lu, who was talking in and out of his words, never took anything out of Han San's mouth, neither denied his acquaintance with Su Peiyi, nor admitted that he was familiar with her, but only got a somewhat meaningful smile.
Baolu, who couldn't hold back, simply asked directly, "Are you going or not?" ”
Han San looked at Bao Lu, who was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but reach out and knock on her head, and said funny:
"You! It's stupid! You sold me today, and I don't know if you sell yourself next time! ”
"You're stupid! Your whole family is stupid! No one is stupid and you are not stupid!"
Baolu, who was shot with a brain crash, heard him say that he was stupid, so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, and began to refute without saying anything.
"Yes, I'm stupid, I'm stupid to listen to you for whatever you ask me to do."
Han San looked at Bao Lu with a gentle look in his eyes, and there was a smile in the corners of his eyes.
Hearing that Han San agreed to go to the banquet, he was happy and finally lived up to Su Peiyi's trust and completed this matter, and he understood the other meanings of Han San's words as if he hadn't heard it, hiding the embarrassment and shyness of being confessed in his heart, he pushed Han San out of the door with a red face, and muttered in his mouth:
"Since you've agreed, don't forget the day, just come alone, don't bring Ruyi's girl over, do you hear?"
"Got it, got it."
With a smug smile on his face that saw through Baolu's heart, Han San nodded obediently, very spoiled.
Even if he knew in his heart that this banquet might have another purpose, but for the sake of Baolu, even if it was a Hongmen banquet, he was willing to go, and the longer he got along, the more fascinated he was by this simple-looking girl. No matter how busy and troublesome his 'career' is, as long as he can spare time, he always wants to go out of the palace gate to this small courtyard that is not spacious and chic, and eat an ordinary home-cooked meal that is not comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and seas and delicious delicacies.
It may be that Mama's kind of intimate elders' care makes him feel warm, maybe it is the relaxed atmosphere here that makes him feel relaxed, and more reasons for him to be nostalgic are actually the girl who will smile at him, make trouble with him, lose his temper at him, yell at him, be angry with him, and show all kinds of small emotions to him without a trace of intention.
Unconsciously, day or night, I will always inadvertently think of her face, her laughter, her anger, and her various expressions; Unconsciously, I put her in my heart, and I always want to be by her side all the time, listen to her talk, watch her smile, even if she dislikes eating and lying on her face, as long as I can see her, I feel that no matter how gloomy the sky is, it becomes clear.
