No, what do you mean?
It's just a compliment to the eldest brother without any seriousness, but when it comes to it, he will just be so perfunctory, right?
OK OK!
Although he looks like his father, he is a bit inferior in appearance at home and cannot compare to his eldest brother who is the most beautiful person above him. But when you go out, you will be a handsome young man that everyone praises, okay?
My sister is too partial!
Su Jingwu clenched his fists and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Su Jingwen on the side, when he heard his sister's series of compliments, the corners of his mouth had already turned up to his ears, and he couldn't help but give his second brother a proud expression.
Look, my sister still likes him more.
Proud face! !
However, this proud expression only lasted for a few seconds. When he realized that the little girl also mentioned his sister-in-law, Su Jingwen's ears turned red even though he was very curious about who his future wife was.
After all, he is a young man. He is fourteen or fifteen years old, which is when he was young. Compared with his second brother, who is two years younger than him, Su Jingwen has reached the age of awakening. When he suddenly heard his sister mentioning his future wife, he suddenly became shy. no.
He coughed twice and changed the subject:
"My sister is so beautiful. She has a straight and upturned nose and a rosy mouth. She looks just like my mother... You can't tell with your eyes, but she is big and bright. She will definitely be one of the most beautiful women in the capital in the future."
Su Jingwu:......
The two brothers grew up together and were always inseparable. They had a very good relationship and were very familiar with each other. Su Jingwen changed the topic so abruptly that Su Jingwu, who had been speechless just now, was immediately attracted to his attention and looked at his elder brother with his lips raised in a joking manner.
Yo yo yo~
I still want to change the subject by flattering him!
no way!
He remembered his mother's instructions and was just thinking about how to tease his elder brother in a way that would not be noticed by his sister. The next second, he was stunned on the spot.
Just because, after hearing Su Jingwen's praise, the clear female voice quickly continued:
[I know I am a beautiful woman, hehe, my good big brother, if you can speak, speak more. 】
[But such a good-looking and sweet-tongued brother has such a bitter life...]
[Ugh, at the beginning of next year, he will be involved in the imperial examination fraud case. Because of a frame-up, he had to abandon literature and join the military. From then on, he will guard the border for more than ten years, taking his wife and children away from his relatives...]
【Why! Although my eldest brother is one of the best in both studying and practicing martial arts, he later made many military exploits and returned to the capital, bringing the temporarily dormant Jingyang Marquis Mansion to a higher level! But I know that wanting to do something and having to do it are completely different things. In fact, what the eldest brother wants to do most is to be a civil servant. Others envy him for his military power and high position, but who knows the pain in the eldest brother's heart... But watching I'm going to try it out after a new year, but I can't remind you at all! 】
[Are you going to watch your eldest brother being framed? Watching the father have to take out the iron book of alchemy to save his son's life? After watching my mother lose her third brother, she had to send her eldest brother away, and finally died of depression? 】
[I feel so uncomfortable, I really want to cry, but I can’t do anything... This is too difficult for me as a little baby! 】
As she spoke, the female voice gradually became lower.
Then, it seemed that due to being reborn in a baby, his body and mind were somewhat uncontrollable. Su Tang wrinkled her nose and couldn't help crying softly.
"Wow...ow wow..."
The crying gradually became louder, and I don't know if it was for myself or for my miserable elder brother.
However, the other three people in the room were too shocked by the news they received. They were so immersed in their own thoughts that they even forgot to comfort the baby.
Lin:! ! !
Su Jingwen:! ! !
Su Jingwu:! ! !
Su Henan was the first to react outside. He had been here for a while and heard all those thoughts, but he pretended that nothing was wrong, opened the door cheerfully, and joked:
"What's wrong with you three? My precious daughter is crying like this and she doesn't know how to comfort her."
"Oh~ Daddy's good daughter, is she peed or hungry? Daddy hugs her and doesn't cry. Don't cry..."
As he said that, he crossed over to the three people and held the baby in his arms, spinning him back and forth to coax him.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin and others hurriedly turned away to adjust their emotions. After they calmed down a bit, they pretended to be as if nothing had happened and cheered Su Tang up with a smile.
It looks like a peaceful scene.
The two maids guarding the door outside didn't think much and quickly closed the door again.
However, in his mind, he ignored the visibly staggered back of the Marquis just now. They looked at each other and exchanged a tacit look.
No wonder people say that the Marquis is looking forward to his daughter.
Look, I feel so distressed! The girl just cried and worried the Marquis so much. He was usually such a steady person, but just now he couldn't even walk steadily.
How could they know how uncomfortable Su Henan felt?
But in the situation just now, as the backbone of the family, no matter how panicked he was, he had to hold on. He endured the shock and coaxed the child as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, Su Tang only reacted to his feelings and couldn't help crying. When he found that his parents and brothers were all paying attention to him and coaxing him nicely, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
[As an adult soul, I actually started crying. How embarrassing to let so many people coax me! 】
【Shy~】
Everyone:! ! !
cute! !
The unspeakable depression was instantly swept away. Although everyone present still felt sad when they thought about what would happen to Su Jingwen, but now that there is a prophet, it is much better than before, isn't it?
Several people also relaxed.
Mrs. Lin handed over a cup of tea and said softly:
"Why is the Marquis coming here now, but the matter in the backyard has been dealt with?"
In front of her two sons, Mrs. Lin had no intention of hiding it. It was everyone's responsibility to protect the Hou Mansion. The two sons are now older, and it’s time for them to get involved.
This is also the consensus between her and Su Henan.
"We have already asked about the cause and effect, but the result is a bit unexpected. Madam, you might as well guess which family Mrs. Li helped to spread the news? What news was she spread?"
As soon as I heard Mrs. Li.
Su Tang, who was a little bored just now and could only play with his fingers and read various delicacies in his head, suddenly perked up his ears and became energetic.
【Mother Li! 】
[Isn’t it? I thought it was a surprise that my mother called the third brother to the main courtyard in the afternoon and successfully avoided the death disaster, but I didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise! 】
[Is it so lucky today that my mother caught Mrs. Li selling the news about the Hou Mansion? Wow, the beauty is so amazing! 】
These words naturally made the faces of the two brothers Su Jingwen darken again.
Lin was amused and smiled.
But she also understood that Su Henan must want to know something when he asked this in front of her daughter.
Then he asked:
"Who is it? Could it be that it's not a grudge against our Hou Mansion, but some other reason?"
Su Henan shook his head: "I'm not sure whether there is any grudge, but the things they spread are really ridiculous. They spent a lot of gold and silver starting from the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, just to spread a few pictures. Painting. Well, that’s it…”
With that said, Su Henan passed the drawing papers to several people for viewing.
[What it is, I want to see it too! 】
Su Tang was extremely anxious, but unfortunately she had no strength and couldn't even stretch her neck. Fortunately, Mrs. Lin understood her daughter's mood of eating melon and hugged her up at an angle, so that she could finally see clearly what was painted on the painting.
And after reading through them one by one——
Su Tang:......
other people:……
Mrs. Lin had the same doubts as Grandma Lin, and said in surprise:
"Why are there so many portraits of the boss? Could it be that some young lady did this? This is... this is..."
This is too ridiculous!
The mood of the mother and son at this moment was the same as that of Su Henan just now, angry and wanting to laugh at the same time.
You know, the three of them almost died because of this news!
How can you not be angry!
Su Jingwen's mood was even more complicated.
When I think about my previous life, my third brother might have accidentally been implicated and lost his life because of his rotten peach blossoms. I can't help but feel guilty and lucky at the same time.
fortunately! fortunately!
"That's not true, it's Uncle Wen Yuan's mansion. I have sent people to Uncle Wen Yuan's mansion to bribe the servants in the mansion to steal information. This is a big or small matter, but if they do this, it would be too disrespectful. If the government takes this seriously, I have to ask Uncle Wen Yuan to give me an explanation."
Su Henan's tone was calm.
But everyone present, except Su Tang who was still kept in the dark, could all imagine Su Henan's mood at that time.
How can there be such a thing as hate!
"Uncle Wen Yuan's Mansion?"
Lin frowned: "The women in their family rarely go out, and they don't participate in banquets and flower parties. I really haven't had much contact with them. Is it possible that the master has something to do with their uncle's house? However, they came to ask for it. What is Jing Wen's portrait doing? Could it be..."
"It's really not."
Looking at his eldest son's expression, Su Henan knew that several of them were thinking of going together just like him at that time.
He shook his head and said directly to Mrs. Lin without hiding anything from his two sons:
"You should also know Mrs. Wen Yuanbo. She is our eldest brother's former fiancée. After you married, she came to the house several times..."
As soon as these words came out.
Not only was Mrs. Lin so shocked that she forgot her language, but Brother Su Jingwen also felt baffled.
What the hell?
Due to the long period of time and the two parties having broken off their engagement, that one has always been a taboo in the house. The Su Jingwen brothers didn't even know that Mrs. Wen Yuanbo existed.
Therefore, no matter how hard they thought, they still couldn't figure out why this person went through so much trouble to find Su Jingwen's portrait.
The room became quiet for a moment, and you could hear a needle drop.
Su Tang's scream became even more obvious.
【Uncle Wen Yuan? Wen Yuanhou? Wait...is this the same company? 】
[So, Li Sicheng, the one who suffered a thousand blows, is targeting my eldest brother so early? The year before last! He is only half a year younger than my eldest brother. How old was he at that time? Is he a pervert? 】
