Su Ke and the eldest sister haven't seen each other for three years, so naturally they have endless topics to talk about. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Su Jinnian hesitated for a moment and said, "Little brother, I dreamed of my mother again a few days ago. ”

The atmosphere suddenly froze, there was a cold breath in the air, the little prince's smiling face froze at this moment, he slowly lowered his head, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. No one jumped out of the stone, and the three sons and daughters of King Wu naturally did not fall from the sky. But everyone in the palace knows that the little prince is very good at talking in the palace, but there is also a taboo, that is, Princess Wu must not be mentioned in front of him.

There was once a very favored maid who talked about Princess Wu, and was immediately kicked out of the palace by the little prince, no matter how the maid cried and begged, the little prince didn't look at her again.

Su Jinnian hesitated not because she was worried that Su Ke would be angry, but because she was distressed, because she knew that this was a knot in her little brother's heart that might never be untied.

Sure enough, Su Ke's face twitched, which was an extremely reluctant smile, and then said indifferently: "Since a long time ago, I have treated myself as an orphan, and it has never changed over the years. ”

The three words Princess Wu are taboo in the palace, and only a few old people still have the impression in their hearts of how the woman with a straightforward temperament left the palace. I still remember that the War of the Seven Kingdoms had not yet broken out, and the little county lord was born not long ago, because of an inexplicable conflict, Princess Wu quietly disappeared on a full moon night and never appeared again, and since then Su Ke and the three of them have become motherless children. Later, King Wu fought on the battlefield, and the young Su Jinnian took on the responsibility of the eldest sister and took care of a pair of younger siblings with all her heart.

Su Jinnian is very clear about the inside story, but he is helpless, after all, many things in this world cannot be changed by manpower.

In fact, really speaking, when her mother left, the saddest thing was that she was already sensible, Su Ke and the little county lord were ignorant and young after all, and they cried more out of instinct, and they didn't have such a clear understanding as her.

"Actually, my mother also has her own difficulties......" Su Jinnian stopped halfway through speaking, because she also felt that this was a very difficult topic.

Su Ke shook his head, looked at her and said seriously: "None of that matters, sister, you know why I think like that." There may have been a reason for her departure, but in the past 18 years, she has never come back to see us, is this the way of motherhood? In this case, I can only think of myself as a motherless child. ”

When he said this, there was no expression on his face, but Su Jinnian could feel the sadness hidden in the depths of his heart.

"So a lot of times I think that maybe she's no longer alive and can't come back to see me, so at least I'll feel better. Su Ke laughed more ugly than cried.

Su Jinnian turned his head sideways, lowered his head slightly, and raised his hand to wipe it from the corner of his eye.

"It's not good to be a sister, I shouldn't have mentioned these things to you. Her voice trembled slightly.

Su Ke stood up, walked behind the eldest sister, gently pinched her shoulders, and comforted: "The world is big, the eldest sister is the biggest, I will listen obediently to whatever you say." ”

Su Jinnian was so amused by him that he couldn't cry or laugh, raised his hand and patted the back of his hand, and said: "Actually, it's okay if you want to open it, you have to live your life by yourself after all, and it's not a way to be too bitter." I know my father's temper, and he doesn't care about these things at all, so I don't worry about marrying until you are sixteen, because I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of yourself. How good it is now, my little prince is mature and steady, and he also knows how to coax people, it seems that he has deceived girls. ”

Su Ke smiled awkwardly and explained: "Sister, you misunderstand me, who in Shangjing doesn't know that I am a leaf in the flowers, whether it is the Oiran of the Qinglou or the maid in the house, I treat each other sincerely and never deceive people." Besides, a handsome and rich boy like your brother still needs to deceive girls?"

Su Jinnian scolded with a smile: "If you say you're fat, you'll gasp, and you've still had this temper after so many years." Okay, I know that you are the number one boy in the world, you don't have to be so stinky and beautiful all day long. Having said that, you are now twenty years old, and you have reached the age of marriage, do you want to bring a younger brother and sister to meet me? I guess my father is also very anxious, the son of a family as big as you in the capital has long had three wives and four concubines and children, and he also wants to hold his grandson, right?"

Su Ke rolled his eyes and said scoundrelly: "I want to hold my grandson and let him give birth by himself, so I'm not interested." When it comes to getting married, I'll talk about it in a few years, and I want to practice for a while. ”

Su Jinnian said helplessly: "Do you say that about your father? Forget it, I don't bother to persuade you to be a bull." Wuliang Mountain is not close to Ningzhou, and you have been working hard in the past few days, go and have a good rest, and then I will take you around Ningzhou. ”

Su Ke agreed, and when he left, taking advantage of the eldest sister's inattention, he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, and then laughed and ran away.

Su Jinnian's face was angry, but his eyes were full of smiles, full of love.

In the past few days, Su Ke has been wandering around Ningzhou City, and it is rare to relax for such a period of time, and what makes him even happier is that the Chen family is very eye-catching, and he did not come out at this time, and the sons and daughters of several major families in Ningzhou City seem to have been warned, and the streets are much calmer than usual. This made the little prince feel relieved, but also felt some emotion, and thought that the road was uneven and eliminated harm for the people, it seemed that he had no chance.

Before leaving Ningzhou, Su Ke chatted with Chen Anzhi once.

This man he has to call his brother-in-law is as gentle as jade, as Su Jinnian said, his biggest hobby is reading.

The three-entry mansion is very simple, and the only room that can be called luxurious is the study, which is extremely spacious and has ten bookshelves, on which there are many unique fragments of books that Chen Anzhi has painstakingly collected. Su Ke spun around and kept nodding his head in appreciation, in fact, he didn't even know the words of some books, and he lacked interest. At that time, the palace invited many well-known Confucians to be the western seats, but no one could last for ten days, either because the little prince was angry and left, or he led a group of evil slaves to not let him in.

Scholars pay attention to the word "style and bones", who can stand this kind of anger? So over time, no one dares to come to the palace to be a gentleman.

If it weren't for the eldest sister, Su Ke wouldn't have had much of a good impression of a scholar like Chen Anzhi.

"Tea?" asked Chen Anzhi.

Su Ke nodded and said, "Okay." ”

He turned to the table and sat down, watched Chen Anzhi skillfully fiddle with the tea set, and said curiously: "Brother-in-law, isn't it very stylish to read?"

Chen Anyi said with a smile while making tea: "Reading is just a hobby, no different from raising flowers and vegetables, drinking and listening to music, and it is not about style." And there is a saying that useless is a scholar, which shows that the status of scholars in this world is not high. There is a martial arts list in the world, and the top ten martial arts in the world are evaluated, if the official family ignores it, there may be a king list, a general list, and when will there be a literary list? ”

Su Ke nodded and smiled: "It's still my brother-in-law's words, if you came to be a gentleman back then, I would definitely not drive you away." ”

Chen Anzhi pushed the teacup in front of Su Ke, did not continue the topic, but looked at him and asked, "Why does Your Highness want to practice?"
