chapter Ten
"Do you know?" Xie Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Yining, whose head was still covered with a brocade quilt, with a low tone.
"At that moment, I really wanted to strangle you to death."
Su Yining didn't speak or move. A pair of small hands huddled under the brocade quilt slowly tightened the sheets.
After a while, Xie Yu sighed softly, slowly loosened his clenched fists, and looked at her with a frown: "Aren't you going to come out without your maid? Where are you?"
Why did she let her run around drunk alone? Fortunately, she met him.
Su Yining slowly opened the quilt, poked out half of her head, and said warmly: "I brought it with me, but in Prince Qin's Mansion, people with Shuangyi are around, so they didn't follow me and went to do other things."
Mrs. Su's handkerchief has returned to Jinling City in the past two days. Yesterday, she sent someone to send a greeting note, saying that she would come to Zhongqin's Mansion to visit her tomorrow.
It was said to be a visit, but it probably meant that the two juniors were to meet and see each other. Grandma said that her old sister loved to eat the Ruyi Tuan Cake from the Zhang family in Tianshui Lane in the west of the city, so she asked Su Yining to take some with her on her way back from Prince Qin's Mansion, as a token of appreciation for their first meeting tomorrow.
The old lady was born into a noble family and had seen all kinds of rare treasures. The only thing that could entertain her in Zhongqin's Mansion was this sincerity.
The idea of falling in love was just what grandma said, and the marriage might not come true, but after all, the other party was grandma's old sister, so how could she be negligent? So after she came to Prince Qin's Mansion, she sent Wen Yuan to go shopping to the west of the city first.
But if he told Xie Yu about this matter, he would inevitably get ridiculed by him again.
Su Yining pursed her lips but did not finish her words.
Ah! Is there anything more important than the safety of my master? Xie Yu sneered, looked down at Su Yining, then quickly turned his head away and walked to the door.
"I'll go out first. You can rest for a while. Since you're awake, drink the hangover soup on the table later." He didn't look back. He paused standing at the door, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the cracks in the window. Looking at him from the back, Xie Yu's aura contained a somewhat indescribable sense of sadness.
It is obviously spring, when everything is revived and full of vitality, everything is at its best, and everything exudes new vitality. But Xie Yu always felt that it was extremely boring.
Winning the battle is boring, Jinling City is boring, high officials and well-paid officials are boring, and Su Yining is even more boring.
I will always avoid him, be afraid of him, and avoid him. But it's obvious that he is the victim, isn't he?
"I'm leaving." Xie Yu opened the door, his voice was low, but his tone was cold, and the breath around him became even colder.
He was angry.
Su Yining was angry because of what she just said.
Of course she knew that she was probably wrong about the girl from the Ming family, or maybe it was just the elders of the two families who were hot-tempered, and Xie Yu was completely kept in the dark.
But even if Xie Yu's fiancée is not Miss Ming, she will be someone else, and it won't be her after all. She had just been drunk and said that she spoke the truth while drunk. Su Yining didn't know how much of her muddled words were meant for Xie Yu and how much for herself.
But Xie Yu was really angry, angry that she arranged him with others.
In my mind, this was the second time she made him angry.
The first time was when they were twelve years old. At that time, it was popular among the children in Jinling City to play a game of "you ask and I answer." Both sides of the game stand on the other side of the screen. One side asks questions and the other side must answer directly.
The person who answers the question can cover up his voice, but cannot tell lies. It only depends on whether the person asking the question can guess who is on the other side.
After three consecutive questions, if you can't guess who the opponent is, you lose.
Originally it was her brother's turn, but Su Yining glanced at the person opposite him, who was Xie Yu, and forcefully replaced her brother.
Xie Yu was not very interested in games, so he asked casually: "Who do you like best in school?"
Su Yining deliberately spoke in a rough voice, imitating a boy: "Of course she is the second young lady of the Su family."
The person on the other side paused for a long time and did not continue to ask. I don’t know what he was thinking about. Then he asked: "Among those men, who do you like best?"
Su Yining rolled her eyes and said in a rough voice: "Of course it's the eldest son of the Su family."
When she finished speaking, Xie Yu's hand held the screen. Su Yining raised her eyes and saw that his hand holding the screen was shaking slightly, as if he wanted to dismantle the screen.
"Where's your second favorite? A man!" The person opposite was gnashing his teeth. Su Yining didn't understand. Is this an unspeakable question? As for asking so hard.
She already had the answer in her heart and followed the good advice: "Of course it's brother Xie."
"Bang!" Xie Yu opened the screen and rushed in front of Su Yining from the other end.
The twelve-year-old Xie Yu was far less calm and decent than he is now, and he couldn't hide his thoughts. With a gloomy face, he asked Su Yining angrily: "Can't you give me even a single question?"
Twelve-year-old Su Yining didn't understand what he meant, and even thought he was a little baffled. She stood up, crossed her waist, and replied like a proud white peacock: "Why should I give it to you? Do you want to cheat? You Playing a rogue!"
Later, the game never continued, and Xie Yu ignored her for half a month.
Until, once again, because she couldn't recite a book, she was slapped by her teacher and made to stand for an hour. It was already dark. Su Yining stood alone in the school, looking at the darkened sky, feeling aggrieved for the first time. I cried, tears falling down.
That day, Xie Yu didn't know why he finished school but hadn't returned to Yong'an Marquis Mansion. He was wandering around the Su family school and happened to meet Su Yining, whose eyes were swollen from crying.
He magically took out a small box of osmanthus cake from the box and handed it to Su Yining with a fragrant aroma: "Don't cry. I have osmanthus cake here. Do you want to eat it?"
Su Yining cried for a long time. She was indeed hungry. She took it directly without thinking much, hung her head like a little hamster and sat down to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
"Hey, what you teach every day is really difficult. I didn't do well in my homework yesterday, and I was beaten by my father." Xie Yu didn't ask Su Yining why she was crying. He gave her dignity and gave her a big smile. Sitting next to him, he complained about his father.
"Is there anything you can't do?" Su Yining asked sobbingly while holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her mouth.
Xie Yu has a strong ability to comprehend. His husband often praises him for his high level of understanding and intelligence, saying that he is a literary star.
Neither can he? Su Yining turned her head away and looked at Xie Yu.
"Yes!" Xie Yu also imitated Su Yining's behavior just now and lowered his head sadly, "Forget it, I didn't memorize yesterday's book. Fortunately, my husband didn't slap me for memorizing, so I escaped. The teacher’s teaching is too difficult, too difficult, and I can’t do it.”
He didn't look like he was lying, and his tone of voice was really frustrated, just like Su Yining used to complain to Wen Yuan and Wenxiu that her homework was too difficult.
Su Yining, who was very sad just now, suddenly became less sad.
She handed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Xie Yu and comforted: "It's okay, I can't do it either, we're the same."
Xie Yu didn't take the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He just curled his lips and brainwashed her: "Yeah, neither of us can endorse, unlike our brothers who know everything. So we should be the best friends, the best in the world."
Su Yining felt something was wrong, it felt strange, but before she could question it, Xie Yu had already taken her hand and pulled Gou Gou forcefully.
"The hook has been pulled and the seal has been stamped. We are the best in the world."
She felt that Xie Yu was a bit naive, no wonder he couldn't memorize the book, but he was soft-spoken, so she could only nod perfunctorily.
*
On the second day after returning from Prince Qin's Mansion, my grandmother's old sister came to visit with her grandson.
Mrs. Su had selfish motives and deliberately did not let the eldest wife Zheng and the third girl Su Yiru go to meet the guests, and only summoned Su Yining.
In the evening, when Su Che returned home, there was another commotion at home over this incident.
