Chapter 194 Peach Blossoms Reflect Each Other's Redness Peach Blossoms Reflect Each Other's
On the next day off, Su Fengzhang went to pick up Liu Neng and go out to appreciate the flowers together.
Although we said we were going to enjoy the flowers, it was already May and the peach blossoms had already withered. Only a few sparse ones could be seen when we climbed to the cold part of the mountain top. But this could not dampen the excitement of the children.
Su Lanzhang kept looking around as soon as she got in the car. This made Su Fengzhang feel a little guilty. He smiled and said, "If you like, you can go out for a walk more often on weekdays. You don't have to wait for me all the time."
Su Lanzhang chuckled and said, "That won't do. It's fine to just wander around the capital, but if we go too far, Auntie will start nagging me."
Su Fengzhang also knew Aunt Bai's desire for her son to succeed. He shook his head and smiled, "As long as you study hard and don't delay your studies, I'll speak to Aunt Bai on your behalf."
Su Lanzhang still said, "It would be boring for me to go out alone."
Su Fengzhang glanced at him and felt suspicious when he saw his serious expression. It was not that he did not trust his brother, but Su Lanzhang had an outgoing personality and made many friends after coming to Beijing. He was not an introvert.
Su Fengzhang felt his scalp tingle when he looked at him. He hugged Liu Neng and said, "A Neng, do you also like going out with everyone?"
Liu Neng wasn't particularly familiar with him, but he still answered obediently, "Yes, it's more fun when there are more people."
Su Fengzhang raised his eyebrows and asked bluntly, "Sanlang, what's wrong with you?"
Su Lanzhang met his gaze, but couldn't hold it in for long. She quickly said, "Alright, I knew I couldn't hide it from Second Brother."
"Second brother, I'm actually tired of playing with them." Su Lanzhang said, "You don't know, when you went to Yunzhou and your life was in doubt, they all said sarcastic things behind your back. They usually act like good brothers, but who knew they were all sinister villains."
"Later, you came back and were promoted to the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. They all came after you again. Humph, who doesn't know what they were thinking? I just didn't want to make things too awkward, so I just maintained my composure."
Su Fengzhang didn't expect this to happen. He found it funny to see Su Lanzhang looking so angry.
Seeing his smiling face, Su Lanzhang said angrily, "Second brother, do you also think I'm too stupid?"
"Huihui said I only care about food and not about punishment, and anyone can fool me, but I actually know the truth."
Su Fengzhang smiled and patted his forehead, saying, "Since you understand it in your heart, why bother with it?"
Su Lanzhang sighed and said, "I just feel useless. I can't help my second brother after studying for so many years."
Su Fengzhang said, "When your second brother was fifteen, he also looked like a loser."
Su Lanzhang didn't like what she heard and immediately retorted, "That's because you didn't work hard before, but once you did, you became successful. But I've worked very hard, but I still can't catch up."
"If I let you catch up easily, how can I still be your second brother?" Su Fengzhang said with a smile.
In fact, after so many things, Su Fengzhang felt that Su Lanzhang's character was very rare. It was even more precious that he could retain this innocence and sincerity: "Sanlang, you are you, I am me, you just need to be yourself."
Su Lanzhang sighed deeply and said with some resentment: "If only I were as smart as Huihui."
"What? Are you admitting now that you are not as good as Huihui?" Su Fengzhang said with a smile. This pair of twins have always been trying to show off to each other, and neither of them would give in to the other. Of course, Lan Zhang loses more than he wins.
Su Lanzhang snorted, "She is just smarter than me, and my second brother likes her more."
Su Fengzhang glanced at him and sighed, "That's not right. Huihui is a girl and will have to get married in a few years. She won't have much time left with us, so I treat her better."
"But in my second brother's heart, you are as important as Huihui."
Su Lanzhang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She hugged Liu Neng shyly and said, "Brother, I know. I won't be jealous of that girl."
After leaving the city, Su Fengzhang became impatient to stay in the carriage, so he simply carried Liu Neng and rode on horseback.
Su Lanzhang can also ride a horse, but his riding skills are obviously average. However, it doesn't matter as they are walking slowly and are not in a hurry.
Su Fengzhang watched him for a while, and after making sure that he had no problem riding the horse, he rode his horse to Su Zhaoshi's carriage and said with a smile, "Mom, are you tired?"
Su Zhaoshi opened the curtain and was delighted to see her son riding a horse with such a dashing presence. She said, "We won't be tired riding in a carriage. But you're bringing Aneng with you, so don't go too fast."
"Not fast." Su Fengzhang laughed. It was a rare opportunity for him to ride a horse, but he felt very happy. "What about Huihui? Do you want to ride a horse?"
Su Huihui was a little tempted, but Su Zhao glared at her son and said, "Huihui is a girl, how can she ride a horse?"
"Why not? Most girls from noble families are good at horse riding." Su Fengzhang said with a smile.
After saying that, he jumped down and sent Liu Neng to Su Zhaoshi's carriage. Su Huihui glanced at Su Zhaoshi who didn't agree and Aunt Bai who looked opposed, but jumped down from the carriage without hesitation and got on the horse with the help of Su Fengzhang.
Su Fengzhang brought over another horse, holding the reins for Su Huihui with one hand, and said with a smile: "Second brother will help you lead the horse, let's walk slowly."
Su Huihui was a little scared at first, but the horse was unusually docile. Su Fengzhang gently told her what to be careful of and slowly let her go.
Su Lanzhang, however, laughed at this and said, "Huihui, what you are doing is not riding a horse, it's just walking the horse."
Su Huihui glared at him and snorted coldly: "You are almost the same."
Su Zhaoshi was stuffed full by Liu Neng and failed to stop Su Fengzhang's wild ideas. At this time, she sighed helplessly: "This child, why is he so crazy."
Aunt Bai was also worried, but she was happy to see Su Fengzhang treating his younger brothers and sisters well, so she advised him, "Erlang is right. This is not the previous dynasty anymore."
Su Zhao glanced outside and saw the three children laughing heartily. Before she could say anything, a smile spread across her face. "There's no rush for Erlang and Sanlang's marriages, but Huihui needs to be arranged."
Su Huihui was riding on the horse. She had always been a self-controlled person, but at this moment her mood could not help but soar. She felt that the wind around her had become a little fresher. "Second brother, so this is what riding a horse feels like."
Su Fengzhang smiled and said, "If you like, I'll take you out for horseback riding in the future. Once you learn, you can ride by yourself."
Su Huihui nodded and smiled, "With my second brother teaching me, I will definitely learn it quickly."
The so-called peach blossom forest is actually on a solitary mountain. It is unknown in which dynasty someone planted peach trees all over the mountain. This place is not suitable for peach trees to grow, and the peaches produced are very sour, but the peach blossoms in spring are a beautiful sight.
When we got there, the peach blossoms had indeed all faded, and a few of them occasionally looked withered. The only good thing was that there were fewer people admiring the flowers, so it was quiet and peaceful.
However, compared to the house in the capital, the lush peach forest here is quite nice, especially after laying out mats and filling them with food and drinks, it has a unique flavor.
Su Fengzhang also conjured up a few kites. Su Lanzhang saw them and shouted, "Let's go to a spacious place and fly them."
Su Zhao sat down on the cushions and watched the children run away. She couldn't help but shake her head and said, "They say Erlang is calm and steady, but now he's acting like a child. It's a pity he can come up with so many bad ideas."
Aunt Bai ate the sweet snacks and said with a smile, "How can you say it's a bad idea? It's all good, Madam, just enjoy it. This is all Erlang's filial piety."
Su Lanzhang looked impatient, but he was quite good at flying a kite. After a while, he flew a kite higher than Su Huihui and Liu Neng, who was advised by Su Fengzhang. He was very proud of himself and said, "Huihui, you lose this time."
Su Huihui couldn't bear to see him getting carried away, so she said, "You only know how to play."
Su Lanzhang's face suddenly fell in displeasure. Seeing this, Su Fengzhang knocked him on the head and said, "Don't bicker when you're out playing, or I won't dare bring you two along next time."
The two of them snorted at the same time, obviously unwilling to accept the other.
Su Fengzhang touched Liu Neng's head and thought to himself that children are indeed cuter when they are young.
"Lord Su, it turns out it's really you." A voice came from the woods, and a man came out with a smile. It was none other than His Royal Highness Prince Cheng.
"Your humble servant pays homage to the prince." Su Fengzhang saluted.
Su Lanzhang and Su Huihui also hurriedly saluted, and even Liu Neng followed suit.
Prince Cheng smiled and said, "You're welcome. I just didn't expect to see Lord Su here."
His kind attitude actually made the Su brothers relax a little. Su Fengzhang also smiled and said, "It's just a day off, so I took my family out for an outing. It's a pity that spring is almost over and we didn't get to see the beautiful scenery of the peach blossoms in full bloom."
"Oh, the old lady is here too. Then I should go and pay her a visit." Prince Cheng suddenly suggested.
Su Fengzhang gave him a strange look, and could only let Su Arong look after the three children while he took Prince Cheng back.
On the way back, Prince Cheng suddenly said, "Actually, I didn't come here alone today."
Su Fengzhang turned around to look at him and heard him continue, "Ajun and Jing are here too, but I'm afraid they don't want to come."
Prince Xi He Jun and Princess He Jing? Su Fengzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, seeing the tentative tone in Prince Cheng's words, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, are you mocking me?"
Prince Cheng hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare, but I'm afraid you might harbor resentment."
"Of course, it's mainly because Prince Xi is a petty and jealous man, and he definitely doesn't want to see you and Jing."
Su Fengzhang said helplessly: "Your Highness is joking."
Prince Cheng laughed and suddenly asked, "Lord Su, do you really not regret it? Although He Jing has a bad temper, she is a truly good girl. In the royal family, she is the only one who still has some vitality."
Su Fengzhang looked at him and said, "If Your Majesty brings up this matter again, I will not accompany you."
Prince Cheng grabbed him and softened his tone, saying, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go. I still want to go see the old lady."
