"Smack!"

A crisp sound made the already shocked heads of the people present instantly sober up, and everyone looked at Su Boyi's condensed face at the moment, as well as the bright red slap mark on Su Zhongli's face, and subconsciously held their breath, for fear that they would attract the attention of several young masters.

Su Boyi looked at his younger brother who was knocked off the head, and his voice was extremely cold: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Hengyu was stupid herself, she did something wrong and was found out, what was the problem with her mother compensating for the jewel in the end? You used to be a person who knew right from wrong, how did you become so confused today? ”

Su Zhongli didn't speak, he felt the hot pain on his face, and his heart was mixed for a while.

Su Boyi looked at him with such a dead look, and his heart was even more angry: "Don't apologize to Baozhu soon, look at what you said!" ”

Su Zhongli licked the cheek of the beaten side, and saluted Su Baozhu: "I'm sorry Sister Baozhu, I was drunk today, so I talked nonsense to you." ”

Su Baozhu pinched the veil, his expression looked like he was still sad about Su Zhongli's words before, but he still said tolerantly: "It's okay, I know that the second brother didn't mean it." The second brother may have misunderstood me, but it doesn't matter, I will definitely treat my sister well in the future, give her all the good things, and compensate her. Don't be mad at me. ”

Her tone was extremely aggrieved, and the maids next to her couldn't help but feel sorry for the second lady when they heard it.

In their opinion, the second miss did not do anything wrong, she obviously wanted to be good with the eldest lady, but the eldest lady herself always caused trouble, how could she blame the second miss?

Su Zhongli pretended not to see the strange gazes of the people falling on him, and arched his hand at Su Baozhu again: "Thank you for your generosity, but I refused for Su Hengyu." She will no longer be a member of the Su family in the future, and you don't have to go over to her relatives. ”

After saying this, he ignored the expressions of the others, turned around and went to his courtyard like a geist.

Although Su Zhongli has never been out of tune and has a very irritable temperament, he is extremely sharp tonight.

He finally got rid of the fog that blindfolded him, saw the true appearance of everyone in the mansion, and saw clearly that his sister, who was connected to his blood, had been calling for help to her relatives.

It's just that he understood too late, and his sister gained the strength to save herself, and she no longer needed her relatives.

He's lost his sister, and he's lost the genuine emotion of making toys for him.

"From beginning to end, the real stupid person is me." Su Zhongli muttered softly, then smiled bitterly and walked into the night.

……

Su Hengyu's carriage returned to Zhuangzi overnight, and their group moved a lot, which alarmed Yan Agou who was keeping vigil as soon as they came.

Yan Agou immediately informed the news of Su Hengyu's return, so Zhuangzi, which had only a few lights on, immediately became brightly lit.

All the stewards and subordinates came to the door to greet them as soon as possible, and Su Hengyu also saw that Qiao Meng's coat was buttoned wrongly.

She smiled at everyone and said, "Let's just come back and settle down by ourselves, it's dark at night, you go back to rest first, and we'll talk about anything tomorrow." ”

"The master came back so late, he must not have eaten yet, so we will make you a table first. When you're done, it's time to take a bite of the hot one. Originally, tonight we were all going to keep the New Year, originally the master did not come back to the Zhuangzi and it was still deserted, but now the master is back, let's just spend Chinese New Year's Eve together! Qiao Meng rejected Su Hengyu's kindness and proposed instead.

He is a smart person, and he also knows Su Hengyu's relationship with the Hou Mansion now.

Originally, the Hou Mansion asked their master to go back a few days ago, which had already made Qiao Meng feel strange. Tonight, the master suddenly ran back, and he didn't want to spend years in the Hou Mansion, obviously what happened to the Hou Mansion again.

He thought about Su Hengyu's emotions and refused to let her spend Chinese New Year's Eve alone and coldly, so he took the initiative to stand up and want to do something to divert her attention.

Not only Qiao Meng, but Song Zhien also followed: "There is still a long time before tomorrow morning tonight, so let's finally get out of the time, but we have to get together." ”

"Didn't the master say that he wanted to eat stewed mutton, it just so happened that the kitchen had received a batch of good quality mutton these days, would you like to give it a try?" Ru Jun said.

Yuexin, who had recovered from her illness, stood in the crowd with her son: "Miss, didn't you like to play leaf cards in the past, let's have a good time tonight!" ”

Of course, Su Hengyu sensed their kindness, she looked at the care for her hidden in these familiar faces in the Zhuangzi, and the sadness brought back from the Hou Mansion in her heart was instantly dispelled.

She smiled gently at everyone: "Since everyone wants to get together to celebrate the New Year, then just cook a big pot and let's have a good meal!" ”

When Ru Jun heard this, she immediately took the order back to the kitchen, and the other maids who came back with Su Hengyu also hurriedly caught up with her and went to the kitchen to help together.

Yuexin and the others found the leaf cards she had prepared a long time ago, Qiao Meng and Song Zhien found the largest room, moved tables, chairs and stools, and put together a large table that could accommodate more than 20 people.

Su Hengyu and Ziyun took out all the New Year's goods such as melon seeds together, and Mama Qin led the guards to light the brazier, and the room quickly warmed up.

Ru Jun's movements were very fast, and the cauldron had already been prepared, so when the mutton warming pot was moved out, the aroma of the broth immediately entered everyone's noses.

Su Hengyu asked Ru Jun to eat a lot, and the soup cooked with ham made people drool when they smelled it. They definitely couldn't finish eating themselves, so Su Hengyu asked the guards to come over and drink by themselves.

Tonight's suburbs of Beijing are already cold, and the guards have to keep vigil outside the house to be cold.

Originally, they thought that this Chinese New Year's Eve would be spent in the cold wind, but they did not expect that the eldest lady who suddenly came back actually ordered the kitchen to cook broth for them.

As a member of the night watch, Yan Agou was naturally also assigned a bowl of broth.

This is made by Ru Jun with good ham, and some medicinal materials that are beneficial to the body are also put in it. A bowl of soup is full of good things, and a sip of it is almost worth a month's salary for Yan Agou.

He took a satisfying bite of the meat, feeling the hot broth slide down his throat and into his stomach, warming his frozen body.

"Shhh I've never had such a good soup in my life! Someone suddenly said loudly.

"But it's not, you don't look at how many good things Miss Ru Jun put in it, this bowl is going to be taken out and sold, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of silver!"

"Hey, hey, hey, fortunately, we were the escort of the young lady, not only did we give a reward at the end of the year, but also such a delicious soup......"

As they spoke, there was a burst of laughter from the brightly lit house.

Yan Agou listened to the laughter, and unconsciously laughed along.

That's nice, he thought to himself.

I hope that next year's days will get better and better.
