Chapter 378: Having three wives and four concubines will break your legs
Su Chen looked at the cold fruit plate in her hand with a conflicted expression, but he still reached out and took it.
The lychees above are said to have been distributed from the imperial palace, and ministers above the third rank were given a portion.
Because they came from the distant Lingnan, they had to travel through mountains and rivers, and a lot of ice was used along the way to keep them fresh before they could successfully enter Beijing.
He had no food at the fourth level, so that was what his eldest brother brought back.
I remember that Wanwan liked to eat lychees very much, but there were not many of them. My eldest brother said that all the lychees had to be given to Wanwan, after all, lychees were rare in Kyoto.
"Thank you for your trouble. Go back."
He acted very coldly towards Mimi, casually placed the fruit plate on the stone table, and then poured himself some tea.
Mimi glanced at him, her eyes still filled with a hint of grievance. Finally, she took a step forward and left.
As he walked away, he looked back every few steps, but Su Chen did not touch the fruit on the fruit plate.
This scene just happened to be seen by Su Wan and Jia Cheng.
Jiacheng's fists were stiff and his breathing felt quickened.
Su Wan turned her head to look at her and could clearly feel that something was wrong, her eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Who is that maid? What's her relationship with General Su? They seem very close." Jiacheng turned around and asked three questions in a row.
Because of anger, the neck and cheeks look a little red.
Su Wan blinked in confusion, wondering whether to explain to her, and then heard Jia Cheng say:
"A few days ago, I heard that he rescued a girl on the street and brought her back. Could it be the one just now? General Su wants to take a concubine?"
This was getting more and more outrageous, and Su Wan quickly denied it:
"No, no, no, that's not the case. Men in our Su family are not allowed to take concubines. If they have three or four wives, their legs will be broken."
"Why?" Jiacheng looked at her in confusion. This was the first time he had heard of this rule.
"It's just that our family has traditional rules, set by my father. Anyway, my brothers are not allowed to have three wives and four concubines. If possible, this tradition can continue forever. As for my third brother, he is a piece of wood and knows nothing about matters between men and women. He will not take concubines. Besides, that girl is a lowly woman, so it is even more impossible for her to have anything to do with my third brother."
Su Wan explained it to her, but she also caught a message.
How did Jiajia know that Third Brother brought back a girl? She had been secretly keeping an eye on Third Brother. If that was the case, Su Wan could understand why Jiajia came to the Su family so frequently.
As expected, she has taken a fancy to the third brother...
After Su Wan's explanation, Jia Jia felt much better and she even smiled happily.
I thought, this is a good rule, the Su family’s education is really good, it can be popularized.
"So that's how it is. I'm relieved now!"
Su Wan let out a long sigh, took Jiacheng's hand and went to the nearest pavilion to sit down.
"Jia Jia, let me ask you a question."
"Ask me anything you want, and I will tell you everything I know." Seeing Wan's serious look, Jiacheng realized that the conversation that was about to begin would be more serious.
"Jia Jia, tell me honestly, are you interested in my third brother?"
"What's interesting?" Jiacheng answered directly.
"It's not that I'm interested, but I like him!" Jiacheng's sudden turn left Su Wan confused.
The reversal of this answer was a bit too quick, a bit beyond Su Wan's expectations.
She stared at her in amazement.
Jiacheng was very frank, he didn't hide anything and didn't feel shy or awkward.
"Wanwan, let's be frank. I'm attracted to your third brother and want to marry him."
Wow, this is too explicit. Jia Jia is really brave. In ancient times when people’s thoughts were feudal and old-fashioned, she could express her feelings without any hesitation.
I think she is confident enough.
"But your third brother doesn't seem to understand my feelings. Like you said, he's a block of wood. I've shown it so obviously, but he's still unmoved. You said I'm waiting for him on the street every day, and we run into each other by chance, but he thinks it's a coincidence every time. Tell me, does he really not understand, or is he rejecting me in a subtle way?" Jia Jia pouted and said aggrievedly.
"I think the former is more likely. He really doesn't understand."
At least that's what Su Wan thought, but the latter factor was not ruled out.
From their angle, they could just see the third brother practicing martial arts. He used the sword skillfully and smoothly, and the fallen leaves on the ground were blown up by the strong wind.
The third brother has always been very innocent, and his reaction to emotional matters is probably even more so than that of the second brother.
However, when a man pursues a woman, there is a mountain between them, but when a woman pursues a man, there is only a layer of gauze between them. Jia Jia and San Ge seem to have a good CP feeling.
The gentle, honest and innocent young general meets the brave and confident princess who pursues love. It's really a sweet couple.
The drama of a girl chasing a boy, and the boy is still innocent, wouldn't that be so tempting?
Su Wan seemed to be able to imagine the awkward and socially anxious state of the third brother every time Jia Jia took the initiative.
A general who is unparalleled in bravery on the battlefield, when he meets a proactive girl, speaks in a voice no louder than a mosquito.
That's it, with Jia Jia's personality, she has it all under control.
She won't stop it, but she won't interfere either.
"General Su looks so good when dancing with the sword, he's so awesome!" Jia Cheng held up her chin and watched Su Chen practice sword, she was simply a fangirl.
The third brother has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he is about 1.8 meters tall. He looks thin when he is dressed, but has muscles when he is undressed. Who wouldn't be confused when seeing him?
I understand, I understand.
After Su Chen finished practicing dancing, he drank three cups of iced tea in a row, his head covered in sweat.
“Pah pah pah…”
"It's really wonderful, General Su, you are really amazing."
There was a burst of applause, followed by two footsteps. Su Chen turned around and found that it was Jiacheng and Wanwan.
It may be that he has met Jiacheng too many times recently, and every time Princess Jiacheng is dressed up beautifully and always smiles at him, so that now when he sees Jiacheng, he blushes, his heart beats fast, and he feels uncomfortable.
"My Lord, my Lord...you are so kind."
"Meet the princess."
Su Chen stuttered a few words at first, then turned around and found that he had not saluted yet, so he quickly added another one.
Seeing him like this, Jiacheng couldn't help laughing, and his laughter was as sweet as a lark.
I couldn't help but darken the color of my neck a little.
"Princess, would you like some fruit? Here's some!"
To divert her attention, he picked up the plate of fruit on the table and handed it to her. The ice cubes underneath were half melted.
The moisture at the bottom of the plate condensed into water droplets that dripped onto the ground and were quickly absorbed by the dry stone slabs.
"Wow, there are lychees! I love lychees the most. General Su, can you peel them for me? I accidentally cut my hand and it's not very convenient."
Su Wan quietly watched Jiacheng flirting with her third brother. She turned into a spectator and wanted to crack some melon seeds on the spot.
"The princess is injured? Is it serious?"
Su Chen grasped the key point and looked at Jiacheng anxiously. He wanted to see her hands, but found that she had hidden her hands behind her back.
