4 Chapter 4

He sat at the head of the wall, the evening breeze swaying, blowing off the apricot blossoms like snow.

Su Wan had just finished bathing and was drying her hair loosely.

She stood under the porch and asked, "How did you do in the exam?" ”

Lu Anxun: "Thanks to the fragrant sauce pancakes you made, I ate well and slept well in Gongyuan, so I naturally did well in the exam." ”

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Su Juan had a bottom in his heart. But I couldn't see him so proud, so I still said: "Really fake? Don't brag. ”

"You don't know what I'm capable of?"

"Okay, I'll follow you when you're in high school."

Lu Anxun: "......"

He casually picked an apricot blossom: "You sent a message saying that you want to see me, what is the matter?" ”

"Oh, ask something personal."

"What?"

"Lu Anxun, do you have a favorite girl?" Su Juan didn't plan to go around the bend with him.

Lu Anxun looked a little uncomfortable, and he didn't even dare to look at her.

"What are you asking for?"

"Curious."

"Why are you curious?"

It's a long story, Su Juan simply moved a chair and sat down in the corner.

"Du Wenqing told me, you are ashamed to say in Jiang Yuexuan that you want to marry the first beauty in the capital."

Hearing this, Lu Anxun breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

"Aang, so what?"

The white moonlight flowed, and a shadow fell in the corner of the wall, just covering half of Su Xuan's body, and her beautiful side face was reflected in the moonlight.

She had mixed feelings: "What's so good about Song Shiyin?" ”

Lu Anxun asked in disgust: "What do you say?" ”

“......”

Su Wan choked, thinking of his straw bag reputation, he was indeed not qualified to say such a thing.

"I mean......" Su Juan said: "Song Shiyin's delicate girl, can you stand it?" ”

Lu Anxun was impatient: "You have nothing else to do with me?" ”

"It's all right...... Do you really like Song Shiyin? ”

"Is that still fake? She has a good appearance and good talent, everyone wants to marry, and of course I, Lu Anxun, want to marry the best. ”

Su Juan was silent for a moment and hooked his hand.

Lu Anxun defended: "What to do?" ”

"You come down."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Anxun jumped down.

The next moment, Su Juan kicked him angrily: "Leper \\\\ clam \\\\ Toad wants to eat swan meat, you can dream of it!" ”

“......”

Lu Anxun didn't care much, and glanced at Su Juan's back inexplicably.

He turned around and was about to jump onto the wall, but was stopped by Su Wan again.

"Lu Anxun."

"Anything else?"

Su Juan walked back and asked in a low voice, "Last time I was in Jiang Yuexuan, you said you told me a secret, do you remember?" ”

Lu Anxun slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot." ”

"It's a bit of a hassle......" He looked left and right, pulling Su Juan into the shadows in the corner and crouching down.

"I wasn't sure at first, but then I asked someone to find out, it was about your eldest brother-in-law Xiao Yi."

"Xiao Yi?"

"Be quiet." He approached Su Juan slightly: "Last time I was writing poems and eating tea in Baixiang Building, I overheard Xiao Yi talking to people in the wing room, but in fact, it was not talking about things, but Xiao Yi was doing something unseemly......

"Lu Anxun, when did you become such a mother-in-law? Can you make it clear all at once? ”

"Your eldest brother-in-law, Xiao Yi, took a fancy to the married woman and made other people's stomachs bigger, and the woman's husband came to the door, and he coerced and lured the other party to reconcile." Lu Anxun stretched out his hands: "Clear? ”

"......" is clear, Su Juan was very surprised when he heard it.

It turned out that the person I saw at the mouth of the alley last time was really his eldest brother-in-law Xiao Yi.

After a pause, she asked, "Was the woman willing or forced?" ”

Lu Anxun sneered: "If you force it, how can you conceive his child?" The two fornicated in private for a long time. I also learned that Xiao Yi wanted to take her into the mansion as a concubine, so that the child in her womb would stay in the Xiao family. ”

Su Wan looked at him: "Why do you inquire so clearly?" ”

"Not for you...... Big sister? Lu Anxun said uncomfortably: "You and I are usually brothers, and your eldest sister is naturally my eldest sister, just ask." ”

Su Juan nodded absentmindedly, thinking to herself, it seems that Xiao Yi should have been committing adultery with someone for a long time, does the eldest sister know about this?

"Hey, I'm done, let's go." Lu Anxun yawned and got up: "Lao Tzu has to go back to make up for sleep." ”

With that, he jumped up the wall and quietly went back to the house.

.

After the end of spring, March will begin in two days. Xu is the end of the big exam, the lifters have finally been relieved from the ten-year cold window, and the capital is full of laughter and feasting.

The hustle and bustle outside is blocked by a wall of apricot blossoms, and the wall is full of spring and fragrant.

The wild boar that was searched for last time was finally roasted on an auspicious day by Su Juan.

Mulberries are humming and adding firewood to the fire, and a suckling pig is forked in the red-hot hearth. An iron pole stretched out of the hearth, and Su Wan stood beside the iron stove with an apron tied to it.

Roasting a suckling pig is a technical job, and it has to be constantly turned. Roast the breast, abdomen, elbow, and flesh first, and poke the needle holes to drain the water. It can neither be baked too old nor too raw, and it is better to brown and crispy skin.

It really tired Su Wan a lot.

Su Ying smelled the smell and came over, stood aside to watch her busy work, and asked incomprehensibly: "You are busy for most of the day, just to eat a bite of meat, is it worth it?" ”

"You don't understand." Su Juan wiped off the oil coming out of the skin surface of the suckling pig with a brush, and her movements were skillful, "This is fun here, watching it cooked, burned, and fragrant with your own eyes, which is the same as the third sister's painting." In our eyes, they are all masterpieces. ”

Su Ying: "......"

"Besides, it's the Cold Food Festival in two days." Su Juan winked at her: "If you can't make a fire for a few days, you don't want to eat meat?" ”

Think! How don't you want to!

During the Cold Food Festival, every household closed their stoves, and was not allowed to make a fire to cook, and they could only eat cold food every day to torture people to death. In the past, Su Ying was stunned to follow the rules of the Chai family, but later found out that her fourth sister secretly opened a small stove, so she also followed in one place. ①

In short, her fourth sister has a very good way to eat, even during the cold food festival when the fire is banned at home, her fourth sister can eat and drink spicy food.

"It's baked, I'll send some to my eldest sister too." Su Juan put down the brush and continued to turn the pole.

"By the way, there is something I want to discuss with the second sister."

"What's the matter?"

Su Juan stopped and instructed Mulberry: "Don't be busy, go to the gate of the courtyard and don't let people in." ”

Mulberry put down the tongs and immediately got up.

Su Wan pondered for a moment and said to Su Ying, "Eldest sister...... Probably not having a good time. ”

She told Su Ying about the 1510 found by Lu Anxun, and Su Ying turned heavy when she heard it.

"You're not mistaken?"

Su Juan said: "If I'm wrong, Lu Anxun is always right?" The woman's belly looked like it was three or four months old, and her eldest brother-in-law walked in the door talking and laughing with her, looking like she had a very good relationship. ”

The two were silent.

After a while, Su Juan said: "I asked my mother about the situation of the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law before, obviously my mother didn't know and thought that the two were in love. ”

"How can you not be in love with husband and wife?" Su Ying sneered: "Didn't the eldest sister say that she was doing well in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?" She has always been a forbearant character, even though she knows Xiao Yi's virtues, she doesn't mention all this for the sake of her face. ”

Su Wan nodded, she thought so too.

Su Xian is famous, always showing virtuous and dignified, and even laughing meticulously. But I always feel that there is something missing on her bright face, and that is happiness from the heart.

Perhaps, she had already made it clear to her.

"Don't worry," Su Ying said, "The eldest sister will come back on my mother's birthday after a while, and we will ask about the situation privately before making plans." ”

Su Juan nodded: "It can only be like this." ”

.

Su Juan's roasting suckling pig in the backyard couldn't hide it from everyone, thinking that it was about to be the Cold Food Festival, Chai Shi also turned a blind eye.

Su Wan simply distributed the roasted pork to everyone, and even Lu Anxun next door also got a bowl.

After asking Lu Anxun last time, Su Juan pondered carefully. Lu Anxun's rootless temperament is not necessarily admiration for the first beauty in the capital, maybe it is drunken talk, others think the best thing he Lu Anxun also wants?

In short, she didn't want to be polite, and continued to pick up her previous plan - to put Lu Anxun in the bowl.

However, how to do it is a difficult problem.

In her previous life, Su Juan took the initiative to chase a boy when she was in college, I don't know if the boy also had a crush on her or what, in short, she chased her very easily, and the two were together for half a month.

But after falling in love for half a year, she didn't burp herself. She can't remember exactly what that first love looked like, and she couldn't even remember the other party's name, but she remembered that the taste of her first love was very beautiful.

But Lu Anxun is different from others, they grew up as childhood sweethearts, and occasionally they take the blame for each other. has been in love with each other, and has long regarded each other as brothers in life and death.

Now, he still treats her as a brother, and she wants to sleep..... Uh-huh, but I want to him, but I can't say anything.

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Juan decided to test one or two first.

How to tempt?

Gifts.

.

After the Spring Festival, Lu Anxun became famous, not only because the food he prepared during the scientific expedition was different from ordinary people, but also because he was the first person to go out of the tribute courtyard among tens of thousands of people.

Some people asked him why he left the tribute court so early, after all, the first one to go out would always cause criticism, either saying that he was arrogant or that he despised the imperial examination.

But Lu Anxun didn't care about this, and said bluntly: "I can't go back to sleep after the exam?" ”

made everyone speechless, but they also felt that this was like something Lu Anxun had done, after all, this person often deviated from the norm.

It is precisely because of Lu Anxun's popularity that the market in the capital is getting better and better. Not only was he invited to eat and drink all day long, but he was also invited to a banquet by some high-ranking officials' mansions. Clear-eyed people know that this is to recruit Lu Anxun as a son-in-law.

Su Juan waited for Lu Anxun for two days, and finally caught him drunk and went home in the evening.

Lu Anxun was about to enter the house when he heard a bird "chirping" on the other side of the wall. The early spring has not yet warmed up, and the Liang Yan has not yet returned to the nest, of course, there will be no birds.

It's people.

Lu Anxun turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a delicate head emerging from the wall.

Su Juan leaned on the wall with a ladder and hooked his hand at him: "Lu Anxun, come here." ”

Lu Anxun walked over and felt that it was inconvenient to raise his head and talk to her, so he jumped on the wall and helped Su Juan up again.

"Do what?" He asked.

"Why do you always ask what to do?" Su Juan glared at him: "It's okay, can't I talk to you?" ”

Lu Anxun nodded: "You say." ”

“......”

Su Juan held back and asked, "Where did you go to drink today?" ”

"Master Ji's family."

"Oh." Be quiet for a moment: "Which Lord Ji?" ”

"Master Ji, a direct scholar of the Privy Council, what's the matter, do you know the people in the court?"

“...... I don't recognize it. ”

"That ......" Su Juan muttered again: "Is Lord Ji's banquet delicious?" ”

"Su Xuan!" Lu Anxun squinted: "Why are you weird today?" ”

"I.... Am I eccentric? Where am I weird? ”

"Look at your weak face, did you do something sorry for me?"

Su Juan thought to herself, if she wants to mess with you, is it a matter of being sorry for you?

But she can't help it, who made him so good!

Su Juan is also a little embarrassed about giving gifts, and it is really strange to suddenly make such a set.

She simply said bluntly: "It's nothing, I'll give you something." ”

Su Juan dug in his sleeve, and finally took out a sachet the size of a meat bag: "Na, I'll give it to you." ”

Lu Anxun didn't answer, but stared at her suspiciously.

"What do you think I'm doing that?" Su Wan's old face couldn't hold back: "This is what I sewed with my own hands, and the flowers on it have been embroidered for two days." I haven't embroidered anything since I'm so big, so I made it for you the first time, do you think I'm good? ”

"Why?" Lu Anxun was a little frightened.

"What?" The twilight was hazy, and Su Wan's cheeks were hot when he saw it: "Congratulations on your high school." ”

"But ......" Lu Anxun scratched his hair: "Why do you send sachets?" ”

The first time he received a sachet from the girl's house when he was so old, it was still a sachet from Su Juan, and he always felt weird.

"Sachets are bad?" Su Juan glared at him.

"Good is good, but do you know where I am the one who wears the sachet?" He likes swords the most when he goes out on weekdays, and these things that sour and rotten literati like find troublesome.

"You used to not wear it, but now you're different. You are a master, and you will be a master of Jinshi in a short time, and you will be an official in the future. Don't you scholars pay attention to identity? Wearing a sachet or jade pendant when you go out has a face, isn't it? ”

"Then why don't you give the jade pendant?"

“...... Etiquette is light and affectionate. ”

“......”

"Do you want it or not? If you don't want me, I'll send Du Wenqing. Su Juan felt faceless, and regretted sending this thing a little.

She took the sachet back, but before she could put it in her sleeve, she was snatched away by Lu Anxun.

"Yes, didn't you say it was embroidered for me? How embarrassed to take it to Du Wenqing. Lu Anxun glanced at the two unknown flowers that were ugly on his head, and put them into his arms in disgust.

He endured it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Su Juan......"

"Huh?"

"Are you sick?"

“......”

The next moment, Su Juan kicked him off the wall.
