Chapter 279: What You Wish For
It snowed in Xiangzhou. Although the snow was small and could not accumulate, it only happens once a year. The mood and feeling were there.
Su Yun and Su Yi sat under the porch, watching the falling snow. Furong Cottage was quiet. The two brothers sat there, looking about 60% similar, but with different temperaments.
"Su Yi, do you think Su Wan can come back before New Year's Eve? She has been gone for almost four months." Su Yun counted his fingers with a resentful look on his face.
"I don't know either. Wanwan hasn't written to me for a long time, but she is with my second brother, so there shouldn't be any problems." Su Yi didn't have the same sullen expression as Su Yun. He was better at hiding his emotions.
"There's nothing wrong with her being with my second brother, but the key is that Jiang Yu is here too. Don't you think he's going too far? Is there anyone like him?"
Our family didn't agree with their relationship, but he kept running around with my sister. What's the point of him? Don't let me see him, or I'll beat him to death." Su Yun became more and more excited, his sleeves rolled up.
In his eyes, Jiang Yu is now a shameless villain.
Seeing this, Su Yi snorted calmly:
"You're still beating him, can you beat him?"
"Who are you looking down on? I'm telling you, if he wants to take advantage of our Wan Wan, he's destined to consciously bear my wrath as a brother. Don't fight back when you hit him, don't talk back when you're scolded. That's the most basic thing."
At this moment, Su Yun wanted to stab a villain on the spot to vent his anger.
He is just that kind of person. Su Wan has unknowingly established an unshakable position in his heart. Not only does he regard her as a sister, but he also has a bit of admiration for her.
Su Wan is so amazing, a little expert at making money, and he has a comprehensive view of the business. He knows a lot at a young age, and he is good at comforting people, taking care of their emotions, and giving them the right guidance. Unconsciously, he has developed a dependence on Su Wan.
"Well, what you said makes sense. I wish you success!" Su Yi didn't want to say useless things to him, so he simply went back to his room to paint.
…
On New Year's Eve, the medicine garden was filled with red silk and red lanterns, and firecrackers were blasting, creating a joyous atmosphere. The garden began to sound gongs and drums early in the morning, and Grandma Ye put on her carefully selected wedding dress, a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe.
We are used to seeing her wearing ethnic minority costumes on weekdays. She is old and quirky, like a drama queen, but she is also very capable and has a strong aura, just like the legendary Miao women who are good at using Gu. It is hard to guess and see through her, which makes people feel that Grandma Ye must play an important role in the Miao tribe.
Looking at her now, she has changed into her wedding dress, and I actually feel that she has become more graceful, as if her edges and sharpness have been smoothed out. She smiles happily, and her eyes are filled with happiness.
She held Su Wan and Sun Ling'er's hands, tears welling up in her eyes with excitement, and said tremblingly that she had been waiting for this moment for more than 40 years.
No matter what the reasons were for her and Dr. Sun missing each other for so many years, it is fortunate that they finally got what they wanted in their lifetime.
I wish that all lovers in the world can get what they want.
Su Wan watched them get married in the hall. Doctor Sun must have been very happy at this moment, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Some people may not understand that, from today's secular perspective, if a man of his age still goes through the trouble of getting married, he will definitely be laughed at.
However, in Su Wan's opinion, this is too romantic.
Today is a good day for Elder Sun and Grandma Ye, and it is also New Year's Eve. In the evening, Jiang Yu will organize all the elders of Fengyue Villa to have a New Year's Eve dinner. This is the tradition of Fengyue Villa. Since the old master is still recuperating, it is his turn to take charge of this matter.
After experiencing what happened to Yu Wushang, these elders have restrained themselves a lot. The old sect leader seemed to have given Yu Wushang a lenient punishment, but in fact, this was more painful for Yu Wushang than death.
This also shows that the old sect leader only looks easy to get along with on a daily basis, but in fact he is ruthless and is the best at killing people and destroying their hearts.
The old sect leader has recovered, so there is no need to pass on the throne. Therefore, even if they are dissatisfied with Jiang Yu, they will not have any unpleasantness with him. Even without the identity of the young master, he still has the identity of the prince of Jiangguo, so they have to respect him.
So, at the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, only Jiang Yunhe, Su Mu, and the two girls ate together. After Doctor Sun and Grandma Ye finished their work, they changed into casual clothes and came to Zhaixing Pavilion to have the New Year's Eve dinner with them.
At that time, the Su family's family of four invited their uncle's family to celebrate the New Year in Xiangzhou Furong Cottage, which made the place seem a little less deserted.
Su Yun was already planning that after Su Wan came back, he would ignore her for a month.
After Jiang Yu finished his social engagements, he immediately went to find Su Wan. He prepared a lot of fireworks for Su Wan and planned to take her to set them off together.
The Chinese New Year must have a Chinese New Year atmosphere, and this is also the first year he and she have spent together.
Before this, the old master specially called these younger generations over to give them New Year's money.
He gave Su Wan a big red envelope wrapped in red paper, a thick stack, thicker than Jiang Yu's.
This was the New Year's money given to her by the old master. When she opened it, she found a thick stack of silver notes inside, as much as 10,000 taels.
Since it's New Year's money, she won't be polite.
Su Wan was still thinking that since she had come to Zhongzhou, she would find time after the New Year to go down the mountain to Zhongzhou City and open the Yuyantang workshop.
She would set up a large workshop in Zhongzhou and then invite a capable person to manage it, just like the business model of Xiangzhou. Xiangzhou was too far away from Zhongzhou and the reach was not that far, so she could only set up a workshop in Xiangzhou according to the original plan and take charge of the sales in the central region of Jin State.
A workshop will also be set up in Kyoto, and she has set a small goal to open a market there this year.
It is estimated that it will take another two months to return to Xiangzhou. Su Wan thought that according to Fourth Brother's temper, he would probably be furious. How should he explain to him then?
Forget it, let’s talk about it later.
…
At this time, on the You County embankment in the Xuanhe River Basin, in a simple wooden house, a charcoal fire was crackling. Su Jing was wearing a thick cloak and it was snowing outside. On New Year's Day, he was still reading official documents by candlelight. Next to him was a plate of dumplings. He had eaten half of them, and the remaining half was already cold.
Xizi opened the door with a lantern in hand and breathed out. Seeing his master still busy with his work, he said helplessly:
"Sir, it's almost midnight. Let's go back home quickly. The snow will get heavier soon and the roads will be difficult to walk on!"
Su Jing raised his head after hearing this. He saw Xizi's face full of resentment and smiled embarrassedly.
"Okay, let's go. Remember to put out the charcoal fire and don't leave any sparks!"
…
At the same time, on the border battlefield, Su Chen, wearing armor, and a group of soldiers gathered around a campfire to keep warm. It was also snowing here, and the temperature dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. The north wind was howling like a man-eating monster.
Tonight is the New Year's Eve. The commander, out of sympathy for the soldiers, has specially arranged thousands of fat sheep to make mutton soup for the soldiers.
Everyone was drinking mutton soup, and there were not only big white steamed buns, but also meat dumplings.
The conditions for marching were already difficult, but everyone was very satisfied just having the broth to drink...
