Chapter 232: Are you getting married?
The young uncle came back soon, but he walked from a distance and looked distraught, as if he had suffered a great blow.
After he came back, he started drinking non-stop, without talking or playing with anyone, as if the joy at the scene had nothing to do with him.
Su Jing was too lazy to care about him since they were not familiar with each other anyway.
As they drank, Ning Zhiqian looked at Su Jing, and suddenly mustered up the courage to put his hand on his shoulder.
Su Jing was a little puzzled, but still asked him with a smile:
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
"Brother, I have something to ask you." Ning Zhiqian's call of "brother" stunned Su Jing.
"Young Master, you are drunk." He put away his smile and said seriously.
At the scene, everyone fell silent and looked at Ning Zhiqian and Su Jing, not knowing what was going on.
"I'm not drunk, but I'm going to ask you, big brother, is your sister married?"
Ning Zhiqian was so angry at Jiang Yu that his heart began to twist. He had never been looked down upon like this before, and had never been treated so lightly. At this moment, his desire to win was almost unconcealable, and it was mixed with personal grudges.
He asked a girl in front of everyone whether she was married or not, and the meaning was very clear.
Su Jing's face darkened, and he was thinking in his heart how to respond to this.
He doesn't want Wanwan to have anything to do with him. The most important point is that Wanwan doesn't like him. He doesn't want his sister to marry someone she doesn't like in the future. He would rather support her for the rest of her life than let her suffer this grievance.
"Young uncle, my sister is not married, but she is still young, and my family plans to keep her for a few more years, so we won't talk about marriage for now."
Su Jing thought that as long as he knew that his family had not yet thought of finding a suitable husband for Wanwan, the young uncle would stop thinking about it.
But he didn't know that this was exactly what Ning Zhiqian wanted: she was not married.
So what if they were in love? Without the permission of their parents and the words of a matchmaker, it wouldn't work. He would definitely get Su Wan before him.
What can he use to compete with me?
…
Su Jing returned home in the evening, feeling a little dizzy, but still awake.
Su Wan was worried that his elder brother must have drunk a lot of alcohol when he came back, so he asked the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup and brought it to him as soon as he came back.
At that time, Su Wan and Jiang Yu were sitting under a hibiscus tree playing chess, with Su Yi and Su Wan on one side, two against one.
But Su Wan is a bad chess player and always regrets her moves, so Jiang Yu can only indulge her. Su Yi is not very proficient in chess either, so he helps Su Wan with advice.
In a game of chess, after regretting several times, the chances of winning finally became higher, but Jiang Yu was always able to turn the tide with just one move. Watching the brother and sister playing tricks on each other, Jiang Yu never got tired of it and found it very entertaining.
"Play here!" Su Jing came over and took a quick look at the chessboard. Seeing his sister thinking hard with the white piece, he pointed to a position.
When Su Wan turned around, she saw Su Jing coming back, reeking of alcohol, and standing behind her.
"Brother!" she called sweetly.
Su Jing smiled and nodded, and Liuying tactfully moved a chair over for him.
Su Wan followed Su Jing's instructions and placed the chess piece at the position he said. Then he placed the chess piece at a few more positions according to his instructions. Jiang Yu then showed an embarrassment on his face. He twisted the black chess piece with his slender fingers, and didn't know where to place it.
After a moment, he threw the black piece back into the chess bowl and said with a smile:
"I lost. Brother Su is really amazing."
Su Wan saw that his white chess piece had won, and happily high-fived Su Yi.
"In this game, it's obvious that White had the upper hand early on. I'm sure these two lousy players must have regretted a lot of their moves. How about we start a new game?"
Su Jing also got addicted to Go. He had learned Go from a master who was good at Go in the academy before.
He himself also liked to study books about Go, and his Go skills were quite good. Even the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet praised him for his superb Go skills.
A person who can plan a chess game is a very good strategist. Looking at the overall situation, he is steady and not chaotic, which shows his true nature.
"Okay, this is the first time I play chess with Brother Su, so you have to give me some leniency." Jiang Yu said modestly.
"Don't say that. In this game, your moves were particularly ingenious in several places. Don't say I'm giving in. You should be giving in to me."
These two people are being humble to each other, really.
Su Wan helped them separate the chess pieces. Jiang Yu continued to play the black chess pieces, Su Jing played the white chess pieces, and Su Wan and Su Yi watched the game from the side.
At the beginning, both players played very conservatively, testing each other's moves, and then they were in a stalemate. Only those who understand chess can see how intense this game is.
Su Jing found it more and more interesting as the conversation went on. The two of them smiled at each other and flattered each other.
Su Jing was chatting with him downstairs when he suddenly thought of Jiang Yu's sudden appearance in Furong Garden today, so he asked:
"Why is Ayu in Furong Garden today?"
Speaking of this, Su Wan was also curious. He looked up at him, waiting for his answer.
Jiang Yu did not hide it and said frankly:
"Brother Su may not know that the Hibiscus Garden is actually my property. Years ago, I had people transplant the hibiscus trees there one by one. They were all famous wood hibiscus, so they bloomed so gorgeously. I also designed the Hibiscus Pavilion myself and supervised its construction by craftsmen. It's nothing else but because I also love hibiscus, and the people I care about also love hibiscus!" When Jiang Yu said the last sentence, he deliberately glanced at Su Wan.
Su Wan's eyes met his, and it only took two seconds for her heart to beat fast.
It's that kind of crazy heart-pounding throbbing.
Jiang Yu returned his gaze to the chessboard and continued:
"Actually, my mother also loves hibiscus. We went to Hibiscus Garden today, thinking that this month is the best time for hibiscus to bloom, so we wanted to come and see it in advance so we could invite everyone to come and see it. However, we never expected that someone would be feasting and having fun inside beforehand. I saw Brother Su was there too, so I didn't want to spoil your fun, so I gave up. On the way back, I happened to run into the drunk Sixth Miss, and Young Master Ning was confessing his love for her. So I took the initiative to bring her back. Brother Su, please forgive me."
Jiang Yu spoke the truth without exaggeration, and just concealed some small details of his relationship with Su Wan.
Moreover, this Furong Garden was originally a surprise he planned to give to Su Wan. The damn Ning Zhiqian actually chose it as the place for him to confess his love without his knowledge. Thinking about it now, it really makes people feel unlucky.
And that guy Fengying didn't even bother to find someone to watch over Furong Garden, so someone took advantage of the opportunity and he'll be dealt with later.
At this moment, Fengying, who was buying food for Qiu Niang on the street, suddenly felt a chill on his back and a bad premonition came to his mind.
After saying so much, Su Jing and Su Yi only heard that sentence, where the young master expressed his love for Su Wan.
Su Jing frowned, very unhappy. Su Yi also sneered, twisted Su Wan's shoulders, made her face him, and looked her up and down:
"That guy didn't touch you, did he?"
