2 Chapter 2

"Lu Anxun, what are you doing?"

"Shh Lu Anxun motioned for her to get into the carriage first.

Su Juan hesitated, raised his foot and got in.

"What did you do? Who are those people chasing you? ”

"It's a long story, I'll tell you later." He didn't care, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'll ...... Drink tea. ”

Lu Anxunhu looked at her suspiciously.

"What? I'm not like a tea drinker? ”

Lu Anxun nodded: "No, you don't have such an elegant interest." ”

“......”

Su Juan and Lu Anxun have known each other since childhood, the Su family and the Lu family, to be precise, and the Lin family are neighbors. After Lu Anxun's father died, his mother took him to marry into the Lin family at the age of ten, and since then, the two have become neighbors and playmates. Their yard was separated by a wall, and they couldn't have been more familiar.

Lu Anxun's small vault is hidden, Su Juan knows, and Su Suan's hobbies and habits Lu Anxun also knows everything about it.

At this time, Su Juan said that she came to Baixianglou to drink tea, and the ghost believed her.

Su Juan smiled and said in a low voice, "I'll come out to find someone." ”

"Who?" Lu Anxun glanced out and asked, "In the Baixiang Building?" ”

"Hmm." Su Juan said: "The surname is Wang, the name is Shao Yuan, I heard that I am in the Baixianglou Poetry Club today." ”

Hearing this, Lu Anxun sneered: "What kind of bullshit poem will he make, a straw bag." ”

When the words fell, seeing Su Wan's smile frozen, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. immediately changed his words: "What are you looking for him?" ”

"Do you know Prince Wang?"

"It's all mixed up on the road, why don't you recognize it?"

Listening to his chivalrous spirit, Su Juan pouted: "Then tell me, how much do you know about him?" ”

Lu Anxun: "Why did you check this person?" ”

Su Juan: "It's nothing, my mother told me today that she has seen the son of the Wang family, and if it is suitable, the marriage will be decided." ”

Lu Anxun's expression was a little strange, and he muttered in a strange manner: "You two are also suitable." ”

“......”

Lu Anxun said again: "But you can't marry him." ”

"Why?"

"He's a broken sleeve, don't you mind?"

Mind! How don't you mind!

Su Juan's expression froze: "You didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

"When did I lie to you?"

Also, although Lu Anxun is sometimes not five or six, he is righteous and upright, and he never disdains to talk about panic and deceive people.

Su Juan nodded: "I know." ”

She was silent and asked, "It's going to be spring in a few days, why don't you hurry up and warm your books, what are you doing here?" ”

"Do I still need Wen Shu? Only scrap wood needs to be crammed temporarily. ”

Arrogant! It's arrogant!

But Lu Anxun has arrogant capital.

This kid has a smarter head than others, he never forgets to read, and he is willing to work hard, and Su Juan has seen the scene of hanging on a tree and endorsing books in winter.

Before the age of ten, his family was poor and could not afford to study, and he was chivalrous on the street. Since he entered the Lin family with his mother, the economic conditions have improved, and he began to invite his master and go to private school, but his talent for reading has been out of control. In three years, she was admitted to Xiucai, and at the age of sixteen, if she won the identity of a Jinshi master again this year, Su Juan felt that she really couldn't climb this bamboo horse.

She briefly remembered the friendship between the two of them, and said absentmindedly: "Okay, you take the test well, I wish you the title of the gold list." ”

.

Wang Gongzi is a broken sleeve, Su Juan has no regrets, she knows that no one is perfect. Wang Gongzi's conditions are so good, but he only said that he was close at eighteen or nineteen, which is really weird, but the habit of breaking sleeves is secretive, maybe the Chai family was also deceived.

If she, a boudoir woman, went directly to the Chai family and said that Wang Gongzi had broken sleeves, would the Chai family believe it? Maybe she thought it was another excuse for her prevarication, which made Chai sad.

It's tricky.

After thinking about it, she planned to go to her second sister Su Ying to ask for experience.

Speaking of this second sister, she is also a very capable person. Of the three sisters-in-law, Su Juan is the most suitable for the second sister, the two have the same temper and temperament, and even the behavior of refusing to marry is the same.

However, what Su Juan admires the most is that Su Ying's attitude is extremely tough on refusal to marry. No matter what Chai said or not, she was just indifferent.

In the end, Chai said too much, and Su Ying simply dropped the sentence "I don't like men", which made Chai completely dead.

Yes, Su Yingtou is still a bachelor in her twenties, and she is laughed at outside as an old girl, but she doesn't care, she just tinkers with her medicinal herbs every day.

However, Su Juan knows that Su Ying doesn't dislike men, she is just worried that she will not be free after getting married. In this society, no matter how good a woman is, she still stays in the back house to teach her husband and children after she gets married. And Su Ying loves to practice medicine, how can she be willing to give up her dream for a man.

This coincides with Su Juan. No matter how hard a woman tries, in the end, she will only get married and have children, so what else is she working on? Life is short for decades, and you should have fun in time.

Thinking like this, Su Juan walked to the door of the Immortal Pavilion.

There are no immortals in the Immortal Pavilion, but a place to gamble on stones.

Oh, I forgot to mention, her second sister Su Ying not only practiced medicine, but also had a hobby of gambling stones. And it's a crazy enthusiast, the kind that accidentally loses a gamble and goes bankrupt.

After entering the door, you can see flowing water rockery everywhere, and under the rockery is smooth and jade stones of different sizes and shapes. The little maid led Su Juan to turn left and right into an inner courtyard, walked to the inner courtyard, gradually made noise, pushed open the West House, and there was a crowd of people inside.

Gambling stone lovers from all over the capital gather here.

Su Juan walked through the crowd and saw a familiar figure on the chair on the high platform.

This man is dressed as a man in a brocade robe and jade crown, and he is extremely amorous with a free fan.

"Second sister?"

Hearing Su Xuan's voice, she turned her head, with long eyebrows and heroic eyes.

It is Su Juan's second sister Su Ying.

Su Ying took the folding fan and asked with a smile: "Little sister, why did you find here?" ”

"Ask the second sister something." Su Juan said.

Hearing this, Su Ying put down the things in her hand, turned her head to say hello, and then came over.

"But what's going on at home?" Su Ying accepted the folding fan and asked seriously.

"Sort of," Su Juan said, "It's me who has encountered something important." ”

Then, Su Juan gave her the Chai family to see the prince of the Wang family, and the son of the Wang family was a broken sleeve and told the truth.

"What's so hard about that?" In the side hall, Su Ying took a sip of tea: "You just told your mother that you are determined to marry a handsome, talented, nosy, emotionally dedicated and not concubine, and rich and powerful, otherwise you will not marry." ”

Su Juan asked weakly, "...... Does the second sister think I can marry like this? ”

They looked at each other in silence.

"It's a bit of a strong man." Su Ying comforted her: "But little sister don't worry, there is no endless road, maybe the prince doesn't like you either." ”

“......”

Thank you!

Su Juan was disappointed: "Second sister has no other way?" ”

"Why don't you talk to your mother directly."

"What if my mother is by me?"

"Don't worry, you can't die, there is me."

“......”

.

Su Wan wilted back to the autumn courtyard, sat on the rocking chair, and petted the cat boredly.

When Mulberry heard that she was coming back, she came from the back kitchen and said sneakily, "Girl, you have got the game." ”

"What got it?"

"Didn't the girl say she wanted to roast a pig? also asked Uncle Liu to look for the mountains, and he found it today. Do you want slaves and maids to set up a stove? ”

Su Juan has two personal maidservants by her side, one Yunling and one mulberry.

Yunling is mature and steady, and she is in charge of all the big and small things in the Autumn Courtyard. And the mulberries are the same as Su Juan, delicious, and all day long Su Juan's horse head is to rack his brains to study how to eat.

However, Su Juan was not much interested today.

Now that she is getting older, at least in the eyes of others, she is about to enter the ranks of old girls, and there are not many people to choose from. You see, even crooked melons and cracked dates like Wang Gongzi are included in Chai's list.

She was really afraid that the Chai family would make a decision on her relationship with Wang Gongzi, after all, the marriage was the order of her parents these days, and her children had no right to interfere.

"Let's raise it first," Su Juan said, "and bake it another day." ”

Mulberry: "The girl is thoughtful, pick a spring and Jingming day to bake, and it tastes fragrant." ”

“......”

Mulberry ran and brought a low stool and began to do needlework. She doesn't have many other skills, but the female red has good skills, and all of Su Juan's small clothes and shoes and socks are from her hands.

She chatted while embroidering: "Girl, the slave maid heard that Lu Gongzi is likely to be in high school this year." ”

Su Wan closed her eyes and chatted with her without a match: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Bought in the back kitchen. Isn't there a lot of rushing to take the exam in the capital now? Everyone is talking about who will win the leader, and one of the highest voices is Lu Gongzi. ”

"And the slave maid also heard that there is a big official who takes a fancy to Lu Gongzi's talent and wants to arrest him as a son-in-law."

"Really?"

"Well, slave maid, Lu Gongzi will definitely have a bright future in the future. Lu Gongzi is good-looking, knowledgeable, capable, and has a good character, I don't know which family he will become. ”

Su Juan listened casually and paused.

That's right! Lu Anxun is good-looking, knowledgeable, and capable, but the key is that he really doesn't have to pick his character. and grew up with her childhood sweetheart, knowing the roots.

Don't look at Lu Anxun outside, he looks like he is shouting and drinking, but in private, he is pinched to death by Su Juan, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake.

Mingzhu is on the side, what else is she asking for?

The so-called fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the grass by the nest is not eaten in vain. She had to think about how to get Lu Anxun into her bowl.

Just do it, Su Juan immediately asked: "Sang, go and see, has Lu Anxun returned home?" ”

.

The spring festival is approaching, and the reference lifters are busy showing their talents in the major poetry clubs and building momentum for the spring festival to win the championship.

Lu Anxun doesn't need to build momentum, but he is the representative of the capital, so he will inevitably appear on various occasions to meet friends in writing.

Su Juan waited at home for two days and didn't wait for Lu Anxun, seeing that the spring was about to fall, and Lu Anxun was arrested at that time, she would have no chance.

On this day, I heard that Lu Anxun was drinking and writing poems with people in Jiang Yuexuan, and she planned to go over to find someone.

Su Juan thought about it, and first asked Lu Anxun's wishes, if he didn't have a woman he liked, she would chase him.

If so......

It's good to die, Su Juan found it downstairs, and met Du Wenqing who came out with a drunken body.

Du Wenqing was not from the capital, but from other places who entered Beijing to take the exam. His name is also selected for the winner this time, and the voice is close to Lu Anxun.

He and Lu Anxun fell in love at first sight, and in just two months, the two were inseparable at various poetry meetings.

Du Wenqing also recognized Su Juan, and stopped in a daze to say hello: "Fourth Miss Su? ”

"Du Gongzi is also here?"

"Also?" Du Wenqing thought about it and suddenly understood. He approached: "Could it be that the fourth girl Su is here to find Brother Lu?" ”

Su Juan has a good relationship with Lu Anxun, he knows it.

Su Juan nodded: "Exactly, Lu Anxun can be on top?" ”

"Yes, I drank too much." Du Wenqing laughed: "I let out a wild word after drinking." ”

Su Juan asked, "What kind of wild words?" ”

"Brother Lu is hearty, my generation is heroic. is not only talented, but also ambitious, Shicai also said that marrying a wife should marry the first beauty in the capital. ”

Scholars, after drinking, they are full of spirits and dare to say anything. The children talked about the imperial examination, talked about life, talked about ambitions, and didn't know who first talked about marrying a wife in the title of the gold list, and Lu Anxun let go of such a wild sentence when he was drunk.

Everyone was stunned, and Du Wenqing was also stunned.

This kind of thing shouldn't have been said to Su Juan, a boudoir woman, but Du Wenqing was so drunk that he said it jokingly.

originally wanted to joke with Su Juan, but unexpectedly, after Su Juan heard it, his heart was cold.

"Did he say that?"

"Really, not only did I hear it, but everyone in this room heard it." Du Wenqing couldn't help but smile: "I'll go first, I don't recognize him today." ”

What a shame!

After that, Du Wenqing made a gesture and left in a hurry.

At this time, the little guy who went upstairs to report led Lu Anxun down.

The young man was already handsome, and today he is dressed in white and looks more personable. The chivalrous spirit on weekdays is restrained, and the smell of books is a little strong.

He staggered closer, his cheeks slightly crimson from drinking.

The peach blossom eyes were blurry and sultry, and he asked loudly: "Su Juan, are you looking for me?" ”
