Chapter 132: Breakthrough
Ever since Sun Shuo sent Liang Xiuzhu home that day, he would come to the outskirts of Beijing every one or two days.
As it approached noon, Liang Xiuzhu started busying himself in the kitchen. Prepare the food. When Sun Shuo left the day before yesterday, he said he would come today.
Jiang Wenyi was able to get out of bed and sat in the kitchen to help him. Seeing him humming a tune and happily stirring the ingredients in the pot, I couldn't help but tease him.
"Why are you in such a good mood today?" Jiang Wenyi laughed at him while picking vegetable leaves: "You even generously killed a chicken for dinner. What good day is today?"
Hearing the teasing in Jiang Wenyi's words, Liang Xiuzhu stopped humming and said nonchalantly, "I was in a bad mood that day. What's wrong with killing a chicken to nourish your body?"
He felt a little guilty as he said this, as he had selfish motives in killing the chicken. Sun Shuo has helped him a lot in the past few days. Every time I come, I will bring him some medicinal herbs and things he needs.
Although Liang Xiuzhu didn't say it, he was deeply touched. From childhood to adulthood, no one has been willing to help him so wholeheartedly. Naturally, he also had to do something to repay Sun Shuo.
Jiang Wenyi naturally understood him and knew that he was just being stubborn but she didn't bother to provoke him.
Sun Shuo often came to their house these days. Jiang Wenyi was also a top prostitute in a brothel in her early years. She had come into contact with so many men that she could see through some things at a glance.
This young man named Sun Shuo might not be as simple as the good brother Liang Xiuzhu mentioned.
If a favorite of the emperor who is on duty in the palace wants to send some things to his good brother, can't he just send someone over?
There was no need for him to drive the horse back and forth personally. Only Liang Xiuzhu, a dull-witted man, was stupid enough to think that his brothers were righteous.
One is a saw-mouthed gourd, and the other is an elm head. It sounds like a perfect match.
Jiang Wenyi shook her head, a slight smile on her lips. Let the young people figure out their own business.
As the two were talking, the sound of a horse neighing was heard outside the courtyard.
With a look of joy on his face, Liang Xiuzhu quickly put down the spatula and walked out in a hurry: "Mom, keep an eye on the pot. I'll go see if Sun Shuo is here."
"Go ahead." Jiang Wenyi said with amusement when she saw how impatient he was.
Outside the courtyard, Sun Shuo, dressed in tight clothes, dismounted from his horse. A man behind him also dismounted and walked towards the yard.
"You're here! It's time for dinner!" Liang Xiuzhu hurriedly went to open the door, and saw someone following him and hesitated for a moment: "Who is this?..."
"Don't worry about me, I'm just here to eat." Ying Wu looked at Liang Xiuzhu with a playful smile on his lips.
"Don't bother with him." Sun Shuo didn't explain anything and said to Liang Xiuzhu, "He's just a follower."
"Oh..." After looking at the two of them, Liang Xiuzhu looked at Ying Wu and said with a smile: "It's time for dinner, let's come in and eat together."
Nodding, Sun Shuo took the shopping items from the horse and followed Liang Xiuzhu into the house.
Liang Xiuzhu, who was walking side by side with him, saw what he had in his hand and said, "Why did you buy it again? You didn't even finish what you bought last time."
"I know." Sun Shuo said calmly, "It's just on the way. I brought it to my aunt. It's no trouble."
"It's not a hassle, it's a waste of money..."
"I have plenty of money."
Liang Xiuzhu was stunned by his self-righteous answer and didn't know what to say.
And Ying Wu, who was walking behind the two of them, kept looking at them intentionally or unintentionally. Hearing their conversation, the curiosity in his eyes deepened.
“Puff…”
I couldn't help but put my fist to my lips and laughed out loud. I didn't expect that my old friend had this side of him.
The two who heard the laughter turned around. Sun Shuo saw that he had a mocking expression on his face and said, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, nothing..."
Ying Wu waved his hands hastily, his smile still on his face, and stepped forward, put his arm around Sun Shuo's shoulders and whispered, "Since you have so much money and nowhere to spend it, when will you return the ten thousand taels of silver to me?"
Sun Shuo: “….”
Liang Xiuzhu, who was standing by, saw the two of them whispering with their arms around each other's shoulders, and it was obvious that they had a very close relationship. Sun Shuo was obviously more relaxed in front of this person than in front of himself.
For some reason Liang Xiuzhu felt like an outsider and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Liang Xiuzhu brought the carefully prepared dishes to the table, and the four of them sat around the eight-immortal table and began to eat.
Ying Wu looked at the table full of steaming and fragrant dishes and asked, "Are these all made by Brother Liang?"
"Yeah." Liang Xiuzhu clenched his chopsticks and said a little embarrassedly: "They are all home-cooked dishes. I hope you don't mind."
It is rare for a man to give up his job and start cooking, but Liang Xiuzhu has mastered the skill after taking care of his mother for so many years.
"No problem, no problem." Ying Wu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then praised, "Brother Liang is a great cook! No wonder Sun Shuo rushed to Brother Liang's place as soon as he got off work. It turns out he was eager to eat the meal Brother Liang cooked."
Yingwu's words were ambiguous, and Liang Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment. After taking a look at Sun Shuo who was eating, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
Jiang Wenyi held the chopsticks and looked at her son's expression and couldn't help but curl her lips.
"You come here to eat for free, yet you're still so talkative?" Sun Shuo's face showed an unnatural look when he noticed Liang Xiuzhu's gaze. He glanced at Ying Wu and said bluntly: "Can't rice stop you from talking?"
Look at how serious he is, wow. Ying Wu marveled in his heart.
"Yes, yes, I will teach you a lesson. I will shut your mouth right now."
"Haha..." Liang Xiuzhu didn't know what to say, and said awkwardly: "Eat vegetables...eat vegetables..."
After everyone finished their meal, Sun Shuo helped Liang Xiuzhu chop firewood in the kitchen. Ying Wu had nothing to do but glance at Liang Xiuzhu who was feeding the chickens and approached him to chat: "Hey, how did you know Mu Mu Ge Da?"
"Uh..." Liang Xiuzhu held the dustpan and looked at the person approaching, not knowing what to say: "It's just... we got to know each other because of something..."
"Hey, don't be so restrained." Ying Wu looked at his uncomfortable expression. He kept talking to himself, "I've known him for such a long time, but I've never seen him so attentive to anyone. What kind of drug did you feed him?"
"ah?"
Liang Xiuzhu's heart skipped a beat when he heard his words. I don't know why this person speaks so frivolously and out of tune. What kind of love potion? He said it as if he had seduced Sun Shuo.
"Ah what?"
Ying Wu looked at his stunned expression and said bluntly, "He asked me to deliver your mother's letter, and he also borrowed the ten thousand taels of silver you had in Qimeng Tower from me. He also came to me specifically to ask if you were doing well. He is usually very serious and rarely asks me for help."
"If I wasn't interested in you, why would I do so much for you?" After saying that, he stared at Liang Xiuzhu's beautiful face, watching his handsome eyes looking around in panic.
I found it so interesting that this thing was also a wooden lump. It's even more awkward than the one in the house.
"You...you...you..."
Liang Xiuzhu was so shocked by what he said that he couldn't calm down for a long time and even stuttered.
Sun Shuo likes him? How is that possible.
Liang Xiuzhu's thoughts were written all over his face, and Ying Wu approached him with his arms folded. He wanted to poke a hole in the window paper: "How is it impossible? You didn't see it. When Sun Shuo of Qimenglou saw your dress that day, he was so angry that he almost broke the window sill, and his hands were covered with blood."
Liang Xiuzhu couldn't utter a word as he guessed what was on his mind. After hearing what he said next, her face turned red: "You...I..."
When Sun Shuo came out after chopping wood, he saw the two men standing very close to each other. Ying Wu had a teasing look on his face, and his pair of phoenix eyes were staring at the blushing Liang Xiuzhu with interest.
He threw the axe in his hand, making a loud noise. Liang Xiuzhu immediately took a few steps back and looked at Sun Shuo with a frightened look on his face.
Sun Shuo stood not far away and stared at Ying Wu with a dark face: "What are you doing?"
