Su Chen saw her looking at him expectantly, with water in her eyes. He couldn't refuse, but how could he, a grown man, peel lychees for the princess?
So he looked at Su Wan and was about to say something, but Su Wan spoke first.
"Wait a minute, I seem to have left something in the front hall. I'll go look for it. Third brother, please help me take care of Jiajia. I'll be back as soon as I go."
After Su Wan said that, she fled the scene. Jiajia was very pleased. Good sisters must be too wise.
Su Wan left, and Su Chen was helpless. The person standing in front of him was the princess. First of all, as a minister, he had a noble status as the princess, so he could not leave her behind. Secondly, this was in the Su family, and there was no one else around. Under the circumstances, he had to entertain his guests well, there was no doubt about that.
So, he could only put the fruit plate back on the table, wiped his hands with a wet towel, then picked up a lychee, peeled half of the shell, and handed it to Jiacheng.
Jiacheng looked at the lychee in front of her. She leaned forward and ate it in one bite, leaving half of the shell still in Su Chen's hand.
"Thank you, General Su. The lychees peeled by General Su are so sweet." Jiacheng smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling.
Su Chen felt a little tight in his chest for a moment, and a feeling that made his heart feel uncomfortable surged up, but he didn't hate it.
Su Wan hid in the dark and peeked. She thought to herself, is it still going to be a Jiajia party? If you are so good at flirting, will you risk your life?
Third brother, this boring gourd, has finally ushered in spring.
After that, the two of them said something more, which was inaudible, but she took the time to go back.
Jiajia was in a good mood afterwards and never mentioned Mimi again. She seemed to have forgotten about this person.
But what she didn't know was that Su Chen had already explained it clearly to her, so of course she wouldn't mention it.
Such a great kindness should indeed be repaid, but giving her a place to stay would be considered as being completely benevolent and righteous.
After all, Su Chen had to beg for mercy when Mi Mi was able to save her life. Otherwise, what awaited her would be to avoid the death penalty, but not to escape the living penalty, and be demoted to a slave. She would have to be exiled for three thousand miles. If she didn't die on the road, she would have to Go for half your life.
…
Su Yi came back the next day. As of yesterday, his mission in Ruyi Pavilion had been completed perfectly.
As expected, they brought back a lot of rewards. All the beautiful gold, silver, and jade jewelry were given to Su Wan and the others to choose from.
All the women in the family have a share.
Today is different from the past. There are more elder sisters-in-law and second sisters-in-law in the family. Wanwan is no longer the only one, so naturally they should be treated equally.
Su Wan had so many of these things that she couldn't use them all, so she chose a few things by herself, and then let her sister-in-law and Ling'er choose the rest.
On weekdays, some not very valuable gadgets are used to reward servants.
There is also good news, Su Yi has been named a royal painter by the emperor.
Unlike court painters, imperial painters are painters who only serve the emperor and are not asked by other people in the court unless the emperor nods.
Now, Su Yi is more or less an official, and he is also a popular person in front of the emperor.
"Next month we will be hunting. The Holy One asked me to go with him and help draw some scenes worthy of recording. The Holy One said that we can bring our family members. I think there are so many people in our family, why don't my second brother go too?"
It is said that I am painting scenes worth recording, but in the final analysis I am painting the emperor, and I just need to paint the famous scenes of his heroic appearance.
"Why should I follow? I'm not interested in this." Su Mu refused coldly.
He doesn't like liveliness. When there are more people, there will be more disputes and trouble.
Sun Ling'er's heart dropped when she heard Su Mu's refusal.
She really wanted to join in the fun, but she was embarrassed to say that if Su Mu went, she could naturally join in the fun.
But now that he doesn't go, she will lose her reputation.
Su Wan immediately saw what Ling'er was thinking, and was thinking about how to help convince the second brother, when the fifth brother spoke again.
"Second brother, you are studying medicine. Five people came to our family at once. There must be many ferocious beasts in such a large hunting ground, and there are many people mixed together. If anyone accidentally bumps into him, he will be killed. It would be more convenient to have someone with medical skills around. As far as I know, the imperial hospital only has eight doctors, but there are so many people in the paddock. If there are too many injured, they may not be able to handle them all.
My eldest brother and I don't care, but my eldest sister-in-law and Wan Wan are here too. Second brother, just go with me. I'll be back in less than half a month. "
Su Yi knew that it would definitely work if his sister-in-law and Wan Wan were moved out. If he added some words of jealousy, the second brother would definitely be shaken.
Sure enough, Su Mu's expression began to waver.
The fear that Wan Wan and his sister-in-law would be injured was secondary. The main reason was that Su Yi wanted to drag his second brother out to show his face in front of others. He knew that there were many opportunities in such occasions.
He didn't have anything else on his mind, he just wanted his second brother to have a chance to become famous.
Su Mu thought for a while and finally agreed.
"Okay, let's go together."
"Then can I go with you?"
Just as Su Mu finished speaking, Sun Ling'er immediately asked him excitedly.
"The eldest brother will take care of the sister-in-law, and the fifth brother will take care of you, so I'll be considered the one taken care of by Wan Wan." Sun Ling'er blinked and said seriously.
The corner of Su Mu's mouth curled up, and the emotion in his eyes was called doting.
"You can go if you want."
Su Mu followed her wishes and agreed.
Sun Linger immediately jumped up happily:
"Wan Wan, I can go with you. Can we live together then?"
"Okay~"
Su Wan responded obediently, looking soft.
Su Yun on the other side was unhappy. He held his head up and kept humming.
"Fourth, did you take the wrong medicine? Who messed with you again?" Su Chen sat next to him and saw him moving around, as if there were thorns in his butt.
"No, third brother, you can't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Su Yun glared at him.
"I'm just telling the truth." Su Chen felt that he was right.
"It's better for you to form a group and go to the royal hunt, leaving me alone at home."
It turned out that it was because of this that Su Yun complained.
Now everyone is a famous person in front of the Holy Emperor, and he is nothing.
What should I do? The brothers are curling up one by one. Should he also curl up?
"If you want to go, that's fine. I'll take care of you." Su Chen thought about it, and it seemed like he hadn't taken his family with him yet.
"Come on, I won't bring the whole family with me to the banquet. I won't go. I'm also very busy. Chenglou will open tomorrow. Except for the eldest brother and the third brother, none of you can run away. Come and help me. Heard without?"
Su Jing and Su Chen still had to go to court. They were well-established and busy people, so they were not forced to come.
Tomorrow is the opening day of Chenglou, and everything is ready.
Just waiting for an instant hit.
The wedding banquet has created a lot of momentum before, and now people in Kyoto are waiting for Chenglou to open.
