Chapter 317: Jiang Yu in the Dream
"I didn't know the Fifth Young Master was coming with you, so I didn't prepare a gift for him. I'll make it up to you when we meet again."
Shen Qingli really didn't know that Su Jing's fifth brother was also coming, so she didn't prepare any gifts and felt a little ashamed.
“It’s okay, Sister Shen, you don’t have to worry about him.”
Su Yi would not care about these trivial matters.
"That won't do. I'll make it up to you next time we meet. The proper etiquette must be observed." They are all Su Jing's brothers and sisters, so they must be treated equally when they meet for the first time.
Su Wan smiled and stopped arguing. The two girls were a little reserved when they first met, but now they seem much more natural.
Su Wan felt that his eldest brother's future wife had to be like Sister Shen, who was well-educated, virtuous, and kind-hearted. Such a woman could help him manage the harem, weigh the human relationships, and prevent him from offending others invisibly. She would also balance family relationships, and handle the relationships with the elders, sisters-in-law, and aunts and sisters-in-law in the family, so that a harmonious family would bring prosperity.
Unlike Zhao Xiyun in the original novel, who is suspicious, jealous, rude and brazen, can't do anything well and offends people everywhere.
How important is it to have an emotionally stable and capable woman behind a successful man?
Only such a relationship can last long, go further and fly higher.
The two girls were talking on the cruise ship. Su Wan's personality was easy to get along with and she could liven up the atmosphere. Even Shen Qingli, who was slow to warm up, could be brought into the atmosphere by her.
One is lively and bright, the other is quiet and introverted. They get along well together and complement each other perfectly.
The more Su Wan looked at her future sister-in-law, the more she liked her. The more Shen Qingli looked at her, the more she liked her future sister-in-law.
At noon, meals were prepared on the boat. Su Wan invited Shen Qingli to come to Furong Cottage next time. She would cook delicious meals for her and recommend her fourth brother's specialties.
Anyway, when I went out, I was afraid that the food outside would be too bland and I would miss home-cooked meals, so I brought a lot of chili powder and soy sauce.
Shen Qingli agreed. When she returned, she would tell her parents that she and Su Lang had decided to spend their lives together. Then she would be able to come and go freely with Su Wan.
Su Wan is a girl, and no one will say anything if the two of them play together. Besides, it is right to tell her parents so that they can feel at ease.
In the afternoon, Shen Qingli played the pipa for Su Wan, and she asked Su Wan if there was any instrument he was good at.
Su Wan only knew a little bit about guzheng, and it was Jiang Yu who taught her a few songs. However, she was busy with business every day, and after Jiang Yu went to the front line, she hardly played the guzheng, mainly because she had no master to teach her.
She usually carried that plane with her wherever she went, but she didn't bring it on board today, so she couldn't embarrass herself.
Shen Qingli originally thought that if she didn't get along with Su Wan, she could play the pipa to ease the awkwardness, so she brought the pipa with her.
Nowadays, the pipa is not used to relieve embarrassment, but to add to the fun.
"Wanwan, I know a thing or two about the zheng. If you don't mind, I can teach you next time."
Shen Qingli is worthy of being a lady from a famous family. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs.
She can play several musical instruments. She is at the national level in pipa, and is also proficient in guzheng and flute.
Since Shen Qingli said so, Su Wan would of course not refuse. She would love it.
"Thank you, Sister Shen, in advance. But I'm stupid, so don't let me make you angry when the time comes."
"No, I will be very gentle." Shen Qingli smiled and covered her lips with her hands, her eyes shining.
The two of them played on the boat for a day and returned home with great pleasure.
…
In the evening, when Su Wan came back, he was in a good mood and humming a song. He found Su Yi and reported the progress of the task to him.
"Fifth brother, today I successfully completed the task assigned by eldest brother. Congratulations, would you like to have a couple of drinks tonight?"
Su Wan winked at Su Yi and stretched out her hand. Su Yi understood instantly and clapped her hands.
This is their unique code and unspoken little secret, which even Su Yun doesn't know.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and have a few drinks!"
Later, the food was prepared and served in the kitchen. Yuan Bo took out Jiang Yu's treasured peach blossom wine for them to drink.
Su Wan couldn't drink much. After a few drinks, she started to get drunk. After getting drunk, she felt hallucinations in front of her eyes, and Jiang Yu's face was a little lingering.
He was laughing there, and Su Wanxin was also drunk with his laughter.
"Hehe...it looks really good."
She held her chin with her hand, and Su Yi was sitting opposite her. When she said this, Su Yi thought she was praising herself, and her face turned red.
After drinking a few more glasses, Su Wan lay down on the table.
Su Yi could only let Liuyun take her back to her room.
He wanted to help support him, but Liuyun just picked him up sideways. He was so strong.
Su Yi was worried and followed behind. He heard Su Wan mumbling something. He couldn't hear clearly, so he moved closer to listen. It turned out that Su Wan was calling Jiang Yu.
Su Yi heard the name intermittently, feeling angry and helpless.
It turns out they weren't talking about him, but Jiang Yu.
Although he was helpless, Su Yi still couldn't bear to say anything to Su Wan.
Jiang Yu is destined to appear in Su Wan's dream tonight.
…
On the border battlefield, inside the tent, Su Chen and Jiang Yu were applying medicine to each other. Jiang Yu's arm was injured and Su Chen's abdomen was cut.
But they are just skin injuries, not particularly serious. After applying medicine, I just need to rest for a few days.
Now, the two of them fought bravely on the battlefield, and their positions were promoted. They were promoted several levels and could lead thousands of soldiers under their command.
Su Chen's wound had been bandaged. He helped Jiang Yu apply medicine and bandage his wound. Looking at the crisscrossing scars on his body, he frowned.
"You've got so many wounds and scars, you look scary."
Even Su Chen felt terrified. Jiang Yu had no idea how many injuries he had suffered along the way.
Jiang Yu didn't think it was a big deal, he even joked:
"Scars are the badge of manliness. These are proof of my good fortune."
He is indeed lucky. There is not a single piece of good skin on his body left. Su Chen shook his head.
"Captain Jiang, Captain Su, are you in there?"
A male voice was heard outside the tent, and it was obviously Murong Huai.
This kid was quite surprising. He didn't seem to be as dissolute and good-for-nothing as the legend said. On the contrary, on the battlefield, although he was not good at martial arts, he was proficient in military tactics and was good at arranging troops. He offered several strategies to the commander-in-chief and helped win several beautiful victories, which made people take notice of him.
Without waiting for the two to say anything, he opened the tent and walked in, holding many bottles and jars in his hands.
"I heard you were injured. I have some excellent medicine here. Feel free to use it. Don't be shy. My mother prepared it for me when I came here. I won't be able to use it anyway."
Murong Huai's strength lies in his strategies, so he only offers advice from the rear and does not have to go to the battlefield.
The commander did not dare to take his life lightly. He was a prince and his mother was a favorite concubine. He did not know martial arts, so wouldn't he be seeking his death if he went?
