Chapter 10 The Su Family
Two days later, at the door of a mansion with a vermilion gate in Yun'an County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early in the morning, seeing the servants busy, coming in and out, a delicately decorated carriage slowly drove to the door of the mansion.
At this time, the door was already open, and a porter was guarding the door, bowing down and watching the carriage stop with a smile, and said loudly: "Welcome the eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother returns home." ”
With the sound of the porter, two young men, a man and a woman, came down from the carriage, the man was handsome, in his twenties, dressed in a set of gorgeous brocade robes, and his face was faintly majestic.
The woman had a delicate face, also about twenty years old, wearing a lilac silk dress, wearing pearls and jade chains on her hands and neck, and her body was full of jewels.
Inside the gate, Su Wenqing, who was dressed in a white robe, had already greeted him with a smile. The man and the woman hurriedly greeted them and bowed, "Father, mother." ”
Su Wenqing smiled: "Okay, hurry up." ”
The second lady behind him, Pan Hong, stepped forward and helped the two of them up with a smile, and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
A girl on the side also saluted: "Big brother, sister-in-law." "This girl is Su Jingyi.
On the other side, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy also shouted crisply: "Big brother, sister-in-law." Next to the two stood a beautiful young woman in her thirties.
The man and the girl are Su Wenqing's eldest son and daughter-in-law, that is, Su Jingyi's eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the girl is her sister, and Xiaotong is her younger brother.
Her eldest brother Su Junyuan was born to the second lady, the girl Su Jingxian and the child Su Junrui were both born to the third lady, and she was born to Su Wenqing's eldest lady, but her mother has passed away for many years.
After saying hello, the others happily recounted their old feelings and walked inside, only Su Jingyi quietly lagged behind.
Seeing this, Su Wenqing asked the others to go in first, came to Su Jingyi alone, and said softly: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law rarely come back, why don't you get closer to them." ”
Su Jingyi smiled faintly, but did not reply.
Su Wenqing suddenly felt a little headache, since Su Jingyi's mother died, the child has become a little withdrawn, and he is not close to anyone at home except him and Aunt Xue, and he will have some conflicts with the two aunts and several brothers and sisters from time to time.
One of the reasons why she agreed to go to the Taoshan faction to practice martial arts was that Su Jingyi had to go, and the other reason was to let her not always have conflicts with her family.
But now it seems that it is useless, but it has made her become deeply rooted in the brotherhood of the Taoshan faction, and it has reached the point of life and death, and he now regrets sending Su Jingyi to the Taoshan faction.
"Father, go in first, and I'll stand a little longer. Su Jingyi said.
Su Wenqing pulled back his thoughts and said helplessly: "Don't stand for too long, it's already November, and the weather is quite cold in the early morning." ”
Su Jingyi nodded, looked hopefully at the end of the street across the gate, and stood for almost a morning before entering the house disappointed.
Since separating from Feng Ning, she has completely lost the news of Feng Ning, and the agreed January period is approaching, Su Jingyi waits for Feng Ning to come to the door with hope every day, but she is disappointed.
"Could it be that something happened?" Su Jingyi thought worriedly, today was her seventeenth birthday, but Feng Ning still didn't show up.
In the past, Feng Ning was very heavy on his promises, as long as he promised something, he would definitely do it, so Su Jingyi didn't expect Feng Ning to brush the Mandate of Heaven points too much for a while, and almost forgot the agreement with her.
It was soon afternoon, and the front of the Su Mansion had become crowded, with all kinds of carriages coming and going, and from above were all gorgeously dressed guests.
For a big family like the Su family, the birthday banquet is no longer a personal matter, but has become a place of communication within the family and between various families.
Around the hour, a figure in a cyan robe appeared at the end of the street opposite the Su family, and it was Feng Ning who had arrived in a hurry.
He walked quickly to the gate of the Su family, looked up at the two big characters of 'Su Mansion' on the plaque, and muttered: "I finally arrived, but fortunately I didn't miss the appointment." ”
It was still very lively in front of the gate of the Su family, and from time to time guests arrived in carriages, Feng Ning came to the gate and said to the porter: "I'm tired of informing you, Taoshan sent Feng Ning to celebrate Miss Su's birthday." ”
The porter looked him up and down and said, "Where's the invitation?"
Feng Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "No." ”
"No invitations?" said the porter angrily, "If it's a friend on the road, wait at the side door." ”
This kind of large family holds a banquet, and there are generally some down-and-out people from the rivers and lakes who come to eat and drink, usually to give some reward money to send away, and some people will also arrange some remote seats to entertain.
Feng Ning looked at what he was wearing, and his cyan robe was quite clean, which he deliberately changed before entering the city.
The few sets of clothes he brought with him were all old clothes, that is, they were clean, and compared with the gorgeously dressed guests around him, they were simply plain.
And because he was in a hurry, he encountered some trouble on the road, and the whole person looked dusty, no wonder he would be regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes who fought the autumn wind.
Just as Feng Ning was about to explain, a voice shouted excitedly from the side: "Senior brother, senior brother." ”
Feng Ning turned his head to look and found that Hong Zheng was waving happily at him not far away, Feng Ning greeted him, Yu Hong grabbed his hand and smiled: "Senior brother, you are here, you went smoothly, right?"
Feng Ning smiled: "It's okay, junior brother, why are you standing here?" Although they haven't been together for a long time, Feng Ning still likes this honest and upright little junior brother very much.
Yu Hong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Second Senior Sister also invited me." ”
"I mean, why don't you go in, how do you stand outside. Feng Ning said.
Yu Hong said depressedly: "The gatekeeper said to let me wait here at the side gate, but I waited for a long time and no one led me in." ”
Feng Ning's face sank, it seemed that Yu Hong was also regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes who fought the autumn wind, Yu Hong wore more plain clothes than him, and he was always a gray suit that was washed white.
"Stop standing here, follow me. Feng Ning picked up Yu Hong and walked towards the gate.
When the porter saw that the two of them were about to break into the gate again, he said unhappily: "Didn't you tell you to wait at the side door, why did you come again?" ”
Feng Ning suppressed her dissatisfaction, this is always Su Jingyi's house, they are here to celebrate Su Jingyi's birthday, not to make trouble, and the invitation is estimated that she forgot.
He thought about it, took out about one or two pieces of broken silver from his bosom and quietly handed it to the porter, and said, "The two of us are the senior brothers of your eldest lady, are we invited by your eldest lady to attend the banquet, or should I bother you to report it." ”
The porter checked the silver in his hand, and thought that the eldest lady seemed to be studying martial arts in a small sect, saying that these two people were not necessarily her senior brothers.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went in to report the news after explaining a few words to the other porters.
After the concierge entered, Yu Hong said angrily on the side: "Senior brother, why did you give him silver!"
Feng Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, "The king of Hades is so difficult to see that the little ghost is difficult, forget it." ”
After a while, I heard someone shouting in the distance, "Senior brother, senior brother." ”
I saw a person walking out quickly, it was Su Jingyi, wearing a pink dress, a plain ribbon at the waist, Ying Ying held it, lining out a graceful figure, with a bun on her head, Bo Shi Fandai, a thin face and a slender waist, and a curly Tingting.
Feng Ning was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Senior Sister Su is so beautiful, I didn't pay much attention to it before, I just think it's a little girl with a wild personality." ”
Su Jingyi came to Feng Ning and said resentfully: "Senior brother, you can be counted as here." ”
Feng Ning hurriedly said: "It's worrying about my junior sister, it's because my senior brother is not good, and I encountered something on the road that delayed time." ”
Su Jingyi burst into tears and laughed, "I thought something had happened to you." ”
"Second Senior Sister. Yu Hong greeted from the side.
"Hey, junior brother, you're here too, I said why haven't I seen you all the time, it turned out that I came with my senior brother. She only had Feng Ning in her eyes just now, and now she noticed Yu Hong on the side.
Yu Hong said depressedly: "I came a long time ago, but I couldn't get in, they said they wanted an invitation." ”
Su Jingyi's face flushed, the distribution of invitations was the responsibility of other people in the family, and she herself forgot that there was such a thing as invitations.
"Let's go in first, the dinner is about to begin. Su Jingyi led the two into the mansion.
The porter wiped a cold sweat and said in his heart, he is really the eldest lady's brother, but these two people are also dressed too coldly, isn't this embarrassing for the eldest lady.
