The Du family has become the richest man in Suzhou in recent years. Their ancestral home is in Changzhou County, and they have a four-bedroom house in the best part of Suzhou City. The Du family will live here when they come to the city. 【Read full text】
During Mrs. Ding's birthday party, because of a letter from Xu Qian, the Du family's mother and daughter came to Suzhou in advance. They stayed at Xu's house for a few days. After Du Erye and Du Chen came to Suzhou City, they moved to their own house. .
The backyard of the Du family's four-in-one house is very large, and only one peony is planted. Every spring, a gardener is sent to take care of the flower garden. The peony has just bloomed in recent days, which is a good time to enjoy the flowers.
If Aunt Xu has a domineering temperament, Aunt Du is delicate and unruly. Moreover, she has never liked making promises, and even only paid superficial compliments to her cousin Xu Qian.
Therefore Xu Nuo was very surprised when Aunt Du invited her to enjoy the flowers.
Lu was completely different from what Xu Nuo thought. She was very happy for her daughter to have peers to play with. She encouraged: "Mrs. Du has come to invite you, why don't you come down quickly? The Du family's peony is the best in Suzhou. Your father I have said many times that I want to go see flowers, but I am too busy and have no time to go..."
Lu said something else, but Xu Nuo didn't listen. He only remembered that he had seen several pictures of peony in his father's study. Whether they were ink, fine brushwork or line drawing, the stamens were full and flexible, the branches were straight and pliable, and the paintings were very detailed. vivid.
The only time she went to Yumeiwu, to Aunt Du's house, she saw a picture of peony hanging on the wall. In the middle was a picture of peony in bloom. There was a verandah in the distance, and a faint picture could be seen on the veranda. Woman's back.
The painting on Aunt Du's wall is a bit old, obviously not from recent years, and the painting's brushwork is the same as Xu Gucheng's.
Xu Nuo has studied calligraphy and painting with Xu Gucheng for more than a month, and she already knows his calligraphy and painting very well and will not be mistaken.
Could it be that my father and Aunt Du met because of peony flowers?
Or maybe we just met in the Du family's house?
Xu Gucheng loved Mrs. Lu in every possible way. He liked what Mrs. Lu liked, and he wouldn't do anything that Mrs. Lu didn't want to do. He took care of everything by himself. Sometimes, because he was afraid that Mrs. Lu would be tired, he would also go to the inner house. Tube. It was precisely because of his protection that Mr. Zhang did not dare to embarrass Mr. Lu by setting rules too much.
Sometimes Xu Gucheng would come back late when he was busy with official duties. In order not to disturb Lu's rest, he would sleep in the study in the outer courtyard. He had not spent the night in Aunt Du's room for at least two years.
All kinds of behaviors have made it difficult for Xu Nuo to understand why he would take a concubine. Why would he take a concubine if he loves Lu so much?
She asked Aunt Li, who always told her everything she knew, but she was careless about it that time and didn't want to mention it. It was something that even Nanny Li didn't dare to tell her, and the others didn't even dare to tell her, so she stopped asking.
Obviously Aunt Du's appearance did not tempt Xu Gucheng. Xu Gucheng had always only loved Mrs. Lu, so who were those peony pictures in his study painted for? Why does Aunt Du hang a picture of peony on the wall all year round?
While Xu Nuo followed Aunt Du to see the peony flowers, two young men in rich clothes were sitting in the restaurant outside the side door of Manchun Building.
There was an empty bowl in front of one person, it was Zhu Shang.
There were four empty bowls stacked on top of each other in front of the other person, but it was Xiao Yuan.
"Chang Lin, you eat less." Zhu Shang always smiled with squinted eyes and a lack of temper. Now he also frowned, and his voice became more helpless.
Even though the bowl Xiao Yuan had eaten from was very clean and there were no oil stains on the corners of his mouth, Zhu Shang still felt it was indecent. It’s not like I’ve been hungry for days, so why did I have to eat four bowls of noodles?
Xiao Yuan put down his chopsticks, loosened his belt, and said nonchalantly: "Only when you are full can you have the strength to hit."
Zhu Shang waved to the waiter in the shop to take away the unsightly empty bowl on the table. After the table was wiped clean, he relaxed his brows and said in a low voice: "The Du family will go to the Xu family to collect money, but Xu Zhizhou will definitely not agree. You also know this, why do you have to go there in person, and why bother beating people."
Xiao Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth with a half-smile: "The Du family is so ignorant. She was raised by my senior brother who kissed her shit and pissed her. How could the Du family be worthy of her? And that Du Chen, he doesn't count." What is this!"
He had not met Du Chen a few times, but he remembered Du Chen's violent temper.
"After all, the Du family is the richest man in Suzhou, and their family wealth is still very rich, but Du Dalang is indeed not a good match for Xu Liu Niang." Zhu Shang thought his answer was fair. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuan threw down a few pennies and got up and left. He had no choice but to He stood up and chased after him, changing the topic: "Have you not been threatening to take your senior brother back? What are you doing in Suzhou? You can't catch him by just waiting for him. From what I've seen, you don't necessarily do it for your senior brother..."
Zhu Shang didn't say the rest of the words. Although he was surprised when Xiao Yuan went to great lengths to help Xu eliminate those rumors, he only thought that Xiao Yuan was suffering from the poison of rumors and was rarely willing to help others.
But later, while admiring the flowers in the pear garden, Xiao Yuan made a special appearance to attract people's attention and attention, so that Xu Nuo could escape. Only then did Zhu Shang realize that his previous thoughts were too simple.
It wasn't until today that Xiao Yuan couldn't sit still when he learned that the Du family went to the Xu Mansion to accept the offer, that he understood Xiao Yuan's thoughts.
Xiao Yuan laughed disdainfully, with the usual joke in his eyes. He punched Zhu Shang on the shoulder and said nonchalantly: "Zhu Beijiang, you don't know who I am? The reason why I stay in Suzhou is that I believe Senior brother, he will definitely come to Suzhou to see Xu Liuniang. The best way is to wait and see here. Don't think too much about other things."
Xiao Yuan's explanation made Zhu Shang think more.
You must know that Xiao Yuan never explains anything to anyone, and now it is not his usual style to waste time explaining things.
"No matter what your plan is, you must not touch anyone from the Du family today. I recently had a business deal with them." Zhu Shang straightened his back, looked straight, walked a few steps past Xiao Yuan, and headed towards Tiansheng Gambling House As he walked away, he thought that Xiao Yuan was too strong and his shoulders hurt, but he wanted to make money from the Du family, so Xiao Yuan couldn't interfere.
Xiao Yuan turned around and walked in the other direction, thinking about Zhu Shang's words in his mind.
Zhu Shang loved money. He had too much money to count, but he would not waste a penny. And he always talks about business matters. If he causes Zhu Shang's business to fail, Zhu Shang will definitely have to kill him severely in the end and get the lost money back from him.
But money is not that important to him.
