Chapter 379: You are so good at flirting, are you trying to kill yourself?
Su Chen saw that she was looking at him expectantly, with tears in her eyes. He felt that he couldn't refuse, but how could it be right for a grown man like him to peel lychees for the princess?
So he looked at Su Wan and was about to say something, but Su Wan spoke first.
"Wait, I think I left something in the front hall. I'll go look for it. Third brother, can you please look after Jia Jia for me? I'll be right back."
After Su Wan finished speaking, she fled the scene. Jia Jia was very relieved. She thought her good sister was so considerate.
Su Wan left, and Su Chen was helpless. The person standing in front of him was the princess. First of all, as a subject, he could not leave the princess behind because of her noble status. Secondly, this was in the Su family, and there was no one else around. He had to entertain the guests well, there was no doubt about that.
So he could only put the fruit plate back on the table, wipe his hands with a wet towel, then pick up a lychee, peel half of it, and hand it to Jiacheng.
Jiacheng looked at the lychee in front of her. She leaned over and ate the lychee in one bite, leaving half of the shell in Su Chen's hand.
"Thank you, General Su. The lychees you peeled are so sweet." Jiacheng smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling.
Su Chen felt a little stuffy in his chest for a moment, and a feeling that made his heart feel uncomfortable surged up, but he didn't hate it.
Su Wan hid in the dark and watched. She thought to herself, it must be Jia Jia who knows how to flirt. She is so good at it, is she trying to kill herself?
The taciturn Third Brother finally has his spring back.
After that, the two of them talked for a while, but I couldn't hear it. However, she went back at the right time.
Jiajia was in a good mood afterwards and didn't mention Mimi again, as if she had forgotten about this person.
But what she didn't know was that Su Chen had already explained it clearly to her, so of course she didn't mention it again.
Such a great favor should indeed be repaid, but giving her a place to stay is the most I can do.
After all, Mimi was able to save her life because Su Chen had pleaded for mercy. Otherwise, she would have been sentenced to death, but she would have been punished alive and demoted to a slave and exiled three thousand miles away. If she didn't die on the road, she would have lost half of her life.
…
Su Yi came back the next day. As of yesterday, his mission in Ruyi Pavilion was completed perfectly.
As expected, they brought back a lot of rewards. All the beautiful gold, silver, and jade jewelry were given to Su Wan and the others to choose from.
Every woman in the family has a share.
Today is different from the past. There are two new sisters-in-law in the family. It is not just Wanwan anymore, so we naturally have to treat them equally.
Su Wan had so many of these things that she couldn't use them all. It didn't matter whether she wanted them or not, so she quickly picked out a few things herself and let her sister-in-law and Ling'er choose the rest.
On weekdays, some insignificant little things are used to reward servants.
There is also good news. Su Yi has been appointed as the imperial painter by the emperor.
Unlike court painters, imperial painters are painters who only serve the emperor and are not dispatched by other people in the palace unless the emperor nods.
Now, Su Yi is at least an official, and is also a favorite of the emperor.
"There's going to be a hunting party next month, and His Majesty wants me to go with him to help draw some scenes worth recording. He said we can bring our families, and since so many of us are going, why don't you, my second brother, come too?"
When it comes to painting scenes worth recording, it ultimately means painting the emperor, and just painting his famous and heroic scenes.
"Why should I go with you? I'm not interested in these things." Su Mu refused coldly.
He doesn't like crowds. Too many people means more trouble and hassle.
Sun Ling'er felt disappointed when she heard Su Mu's refusal.
She also wanted to join in the fun, but she was too embarrassed to say it. If Su Mu went, it would be natural for her to go along and join in the fun.
But now that he doesn't go, she feels that her status is not justified.
Su Wan immediately saw through Ling'er's thoughts and was thinking about how to help persuade his second brother when his fifth brother spoke again.
"Brother, you're a medical student, and five of us went there at once. This kind of large hunting ground is bound to have a lot of ferocious beasts, and there are so many people. If anyone gets hurt, it would be more convenient to have someone with medical skills around. As far as I know, the Imperial Hospital only has eight doctors, but there are so many people in the hunting ground. If there are too many people injured, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it.
My eldest brother and I don't mind, but my eldest sister-in-law and Wanwan are here too, so you can go with them, second brother. They'll be back in less than two weeks."
Su Yi knew that moving his eldest sister-in-law and Wanwan out would definitely work. If he added fuel to the fire and said a few more words, his second brother would definitely be shaken.
Sure enough, Su Mu's expression began to waver.
Being afraid that Wanwan and sister-in-law would get hurt was secondary. The main thing was that Su Yi wanted to pull his second brother out to show his face in front of others. He knew that there would be many opportunities in such occasions.
He didn't have any other thoughts, he just wanted his second brother to have a chance to become famous.
Su Mu thought about it and finally agreed.
"Okay, let's go together."
"Can I go with you then?"
Su Mu had just finished speaking when Sun Ling'er immediately asked him excitedly.
"Eldest brother takes care of eldest sister-in-law, fifth brother takes care of you, so I am considered to be the one being taken care of by Wanwan." Sun Ling'er blinked and said seriously.
Su Mu's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed an emotion called doting.
"You can go if you want."
Su Mu agreed to her request.
Sun Ling'er immediately jumped up happily:
"Wanwan, I can go with you too. Can we live together then?"
"Okay~"
Su Wan responded obediently, looking soft.
Su Yun on the side was unhappy. He held up his head and kept humming.
"Fourth Brother, did you take the wrong medicine? Who offended you again?" Su Chen sat next to him and saw him moving around like there was a thorn on his butt.
"No, Third Brother, you can't speak, and no one thinks you are dumb!" Su Yun glared at him.
"I'm just telling the truth." Su Chen felt that he was not wrong.
"You guys are so good, you went to participate in the royal hunting group and left me alone at home."
It turned out that this was the reason why Su Yun started complaining.
Now everyone is a big shot in front of the emperor, but he is nothing.
What should he do? His brothers are more arrogant than each other. Should he roll up too?
"If you want to go, that's fine. I'll take you with me." Su Chen thought about it and it seemed that he had not brought his family members with him.
"Come on, you didn't even bring your whole family to the banquet. I won't go. I'm also very busy. Chenglou opens tomorrow. Except for the eldest and third brothers, none of you can escape. Come and help me. Do you understand?"
Su Jing and Su Chen still had to go to court. They both had official positions and were very busy, so there was no need to force them to come.
Tomorrow is the opening day of Chenglou, and everything is ready.
Just waiting for a hit.
The wedding banquet had already created a lot of hype, and now people in Kyoto are all waiting for Chenglou to open.
