Chapter 234 Because I care, so I am serious
Su Wan held his forehead helplessly. What did the fifth brother say to the fourth brother?
"That's not true. Don't listen to Fifth Brother's nonsense. He's just teasing you. You're all my brothers, and you're all equally important to me, no matter who's older or younger!"
Su Wan's words were like a reassurance, and Su Yun felt better instantly. In fact, he only needed one sentence.
The brother and sister went to the dining room to eat together. On the way, they met Su Yi who had just woken up. Su Yun stood next to Su Wan with a proud look on his face. Su Yi raised his eyebrows and didn't take it seriously.
Fourth brother is really serious. He was just teasing him last night, but he took it seriously.
But precisely because we care, we become more serious about it.
After breakfast in the morning, Su Wan answered Su Yun's questions from last night one by one, because he asked the same question again while eating.
Su Wan also learned that cousin Qingqing was pregnant. It has been more than three months now, and she looks very well and doesn't even have morning sickness.
It seems that Su Wan needs to buy some supplements and send her the two beautiful dresses that she brought back from Kyoto. She bought clothes for Su's mother and aunt, and also bought new clothes for everyone in the family.
After dinner, Su Yun took Su Wan to Chenglou. Chenglou’s business has been very good now. Its cuisine is very popular. There are so many people who like spicy food. Whether it is dine-in or take-out, the order volume is very large.
He was afraid that there would not be enough demand, so he bought 20 acres of land to grow peppers, and developed several new dishes. In winter, he launched hot pot, which was also very popular and people had to queue up. After winter, everyone wants to eat something hot.
This way of eating is particularly interesting. The whole family enjoys it with relish. Other rivals want to replicate it and have found the species of chili pepper, but don't know how to make chili powder. By the time they figured it out, Su Yun had already made a fortune and perfected the technique. Chenglou has also been engraved in people's minds, and Chenglou was the first to do so.
Another thing is that chili is just the icing on the cake, and soy sauce is the most important thing. If Su Yun doesn't reveal this recipe, no one will be able to replicate it, so Chenglou is unique.
For takeout, it is usually wealthy families who order it and ask the servants to place the order, and then Chenglou arranges for someone to deliver it to their door. Now the reputation has spread to other places, and some people come from far away just to try Chenglou's food.
Seeing that Chenglou was managed so well by his fourth brother, Su Wan felt relieved and chose time to visit his cousin Qingqing.
She is pregnant now, so it is not easy for her to stay in the shop every day. She just goes there from time to time and spends most of her time at home taking care of the baby.
In two years, it will be the year of the imperial examination. My cousin's husband has to prepare for the examination, so the couple stays at home every day, one taking care of the baby and the other studying.
Cousin Qingqing looks a little rounder, probably because she is pregnant. It is not difficult to tell from her smile that her married life is very happy.
The couple treated Su Wan very politely and warmly, but Su Wan didn't expect her to be pregnant so soon, so the fashionable Kyoto clothes they bought for her were too small and not suitable for her.
But Yang Qingqing happily accepted it and said she would wear it after she loses weight after giving birth next year.
After Su Wan came back, he had to find time to meet Qiu Niang, still in Yueman West Tower. In the past six months, Qiu Niang had opened a total of eight Bingjitang branches. It was expected that before next year, like Yuyantang, branches would be opened all over Jinguo. Su Wan also increased her monthly silver by two hundred taels as promised before.
She is the behind-the-scenes boss of this industry, a hands-off manager. Qiu Niang is the only one who manages such a large industrial chain, so she deserves this number.
Su Wan was almost busy to death. She didn't have a single day to rest after she came back. She had to read all the account books sent from all over the place, which made her dizzy.
And her second brother, during the half year that she was away from home, he sent a lot of things back to her, including all kinds of strange little gadgets. Although Su Wan also traveled around, there were many places she had not been to. Su Mu bought all the interesting things and things he saw and sent them back to her to see.
Every brother is protecting this family and Su Wan in his own way.
Su Wan was busy until the 28th day of the lunar year before he finally had some free time. He finally finished looking through all the account books and would go to inspect them at the beginning of next year.
But I didn’t expect that there would be a big surprise before the New Year. Su Mu actually came back.
He came back specially to spend the New Year with his family, which made Su's mother and father very happy. Their second son did not spend the New Year at home last year, and now it has been two years since he was home. As parents, they naturally missed him very much.
Doctor Sun was also planning to return to Fengyue Villa to spend the New Year with the old master this year, so he asked Su Mu to return to Xiangzhou to spend the New Year with his parents. After the Lantern Festival, he would come to Zhongzhou to meet him.
This year, except for Su Jing and Su Chen, the other four children were at home. Su's mother happily cooked a New Year's Eve dinner with Su Yun.
Su Wan also discovered his second brother's little secret. Sun Ling'er's name was embroidered on his sachet. The stitching was crooked and very clumsy. It was obvious that Sun Ling'er embroidered it herself and then gave it to his second brother.
My second brother actually wears it on his body. What does this mean?
This shows that the second brother finally got it and realized his own feelings. I didn't expect Ling'er to be so fast and make the big wooden man get it so quickly.
After dinner on New Year's Eve, Su Mu's purse fell to the ground. Shi Wan picked it up and discovered the secret.
"Second brother, you and Miss Ling'er?"
Su Mu snatched back the sachet and stuffed it into his sleeve. His face flushed abnormally red, but he still said stubbornly:
"You're seeing things!"
"I'm not seeing things, that's Miss Ling'er's name!" Su Wan felt that there was nothing wrong with his eyesight.
Su's mother heard this shout, and the whole family immediately surrounded Su Mu and asked him whether he and Miss Ling'er had decided to spend their lives together. Su's mother even threatened to propose to Miss Ling'er and settle the matter.
Su Mu was frightened by the direct question and turned around to run away.
In fact, the second brother was very stubborn. Su Wan guessed that it must have been given by Miss Ling'er, but he didn't take it seriously in front of her. As a result, he did it behind her back, and he hung it up like a treasure.
Forget it, my second brother is shy and the family was just joking with him. No one asked him any more questions afterwards.
This is Su Wan's third year in this world. She has been living a very good life, much better than in modern times, and has gained many things that she would never have dared to ask for in this life.
Her brothers carefully prepared New Year's gifts for her and bought her a lot of fireworks to set off in the yard...
But Su Wan was thinking about his third brother and Jiang Yu who were far away at the border. What were they doing now? Did they celebrate New Year's Eve as lively as they did?
However, the border battlefield recently suffered a defeat and a city was breached. The barbarians from outside broke into the city and committed all kinds of atrocities. The heads of the defending generals were cut off and hung on the city walls. Such a great humiliation made people angry.
Now no one is thinking about having a good New Year. They are only thinking about how to take revenge and take back the lost city.
On New Year's Eve, the border battlefield was filled with smoke and blood flowed like a river...
