Jiang Zhun's wedding banquet for taking a concubine was not held in his mansion, but at Qianweilou, the largest restaurant in Yong'an City.
I heard that the Jiang family booked the entire Qianwei Restaurant for this banquet, which will accommodate nearly a thousand people.
Su Tiyue went to Chunfeng Tower to find her second brother. When they arrived, some people had already finished eating and were gathered on the stage in the front yard to listen to the play and watch the excitement.
When the servants of the Jiang family saw Su Lang and Su Tiyue enter, they led them to the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard of Qianweilou is scenic and elegant, and it caters to distinguished guests.
Su Tiyue glanced around and saw that there were about forty or fifty tables of guests sitting in the courtyard. After they sat down at a table behind a ginkgo tree, Su Tiyue seemed to feel a gaze fixed on her.
Sure enough, when Su Tiyue turned around, her gaze met that of Xiao Heye, who was sitting to her side and behind her.
Those eyes were so intense that she couldn't escape them, but since her second brother was still there, Su Tiyue could only smile at him with her eyes crinkled.
Finally seeing the woman he had been longing for, Xiao Heye's eyes were filled with a smile. He raised the wine glass in front of him, waved it at her, and then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Tsk.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Heye realized that the Jiang family's wedding wine tasted alright.
Xiao Heye usually prefers quiet and doesn't like this kind of lively and noisy atmosphere.
That day, Minister Jiang personally delivered the wedding invitation to Yelan Pavilion. Originally, he did not plan to come to Qianwei Restaurant. Xiao Heye did not want to give face to a mere Minister of War, not to mention that the Jiang family had Jiang Min, who would pester him every time she saw him.
All of this gave Xiao Heye a huge headache.
But after thinking it over carefully, he realized that with the Jiang family making such a grand wedding, the Su family would definitely be there.
If we go to the Su family, Yue'er will go too... Maybe we can see her at Qianwei Restaurant?
Xiao Heye had this thought in mind, which is why he appeared here. It wasn't in vain that he waited so long; although Su Tiyue arrived late, he finally got to see her.
He almost thought Su Tiyue wasn't coming.
What about Su Tiyue on the other side? Ever since she saw Xiao Heye, her mind had been elsewhere at the dinner table. Her second brother, sitting opposite her, shoveled down a couple of mouthfuls of rice and a few pieces of meat before declaring he was full.
Su Lang poured his younger sister a cup of tea ingratiatingly, saying, "Little sister, I'm going to go watch the opera and see what's going on. You enjoy your meal..."
Su Tiyue rolled her eyes at him and reminded him, "Second brother, you'd better not run around. If you sneak off to Chunfeng Tower again, I'll definitely tell eldest brother when I get home and he'll give you a good beating."
Su Lang replied dismissively, "Don't worry, I definitely won't go there. Besides, I'm tired of going to places like that every day."
"Then don't cause trouble, don't get into any trouble... Let's go home together later!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Su Lang had already vanished without a trace.
Standing to the side, Qingwu couldn't help but mutter to herself when she saw Su Lang's behavior: "This second young master just loves to play around, there's no stopping him."
Su Tiyue nodded and said, "Second Brother's temperament really needs to be tied up and sent to the army camp by Eldest Brother to be properly tempered."
"What you say is true, Master. It's time to let the Second Young Master suffer a bit."
Qingwu and Su Tiyue were singing in unison, their expressions suggesting they couldn't wait to send Su Lang into the army camp the very next day.
Liu Wan listened quietly from the side, not interrupting, but just smiling faintly as she listened to the two of them talk.
After a while, it gradually got dark.
Most of the people in the inner courtyard had left, leaving behind mostly drunk and incoherent guests.
Xiao Heye was the only one at that table.
Su Tiyue was alone at the table in front of her.
They were a short distance apart. Su Tiyue had originally been facing away from him, but after the other diners left, she moved to a seat facing Xiao Heye.
Su Tiyue ate slowly. She lowered her head, picked up a small piece of crispy pork, put it in her mouth, then put down her chopsticks, rested her chin on her hands, and chewed while looking at the man opposite her.
His eyes didn't blink.
Xiao Heye didn't eat any more. There were too many meat dishes on the table. He always ate vegetarian food and couldn't get used to those kinds of things.
He simply drank alone in silence, then focused his gaze on Su Tiyue.
What is the best way to express love?
Perhaps for the two of them at this moment, no words are needed; gazing at each other from afar is enough.
Everything is understood without words.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long...
A figure in crimson suddenly appeared, interrupting their silent exchange.
It's Jiang Min.
She took her wine glass and walked straight to sit opposite Xiao Heye, wearing a luxurious and gorgeous scarlet dress and exquisite and elegant makeup.
"It's rather lonely for Master Xiao to drink alone. Let me keep you company... how about it?"
Seemingly intentionally, Jiang Min sat in a position that blocked Su Tiyue's view.
Xiao Heye curved his lips into a smile, his slender fingers slowly swirling the wine glass on the table. He said in a casual tone, "Drinking is fine, but Miss Jiang is blocking our view. Could you please move over?"
Finally, he added, "When it comes to drinking, it's natural to appreciate some pleasant scenery to enhance the experience, isn't it?"
As intelligent as Jiang Min was, how could she not understand the meaning behind Xiao Heye's words?
It means that Xiao Heye feels very happy when he sees a certain person...
Jiang Min frowned, tilted her head back and finished the wine in her glass. She looked at Xiao Heye with a pitiful expression and said, "What is it about me that I lack? Xiao Zhangyin… can't you even look at me? Just once, just once…"
