Chapter 40 Chapter 40 This is all done by that stinky man Su Guanzhang...
Before Tong Jie'er could tell the final result of the rehearsal, she was interrupted by laughter.
She couldn't continue speaking, and stared at the adults with her big watery eyes in confusion.
What are they laughing at?
And Daddy, why doesn't he smile? Not only does he not smile, but he also looks so serious, just like my uncle usually does.
She went to see her mother Xu Xuanniang, grandmother Xu Yu Niang and great-grandmother Mrs. Su, and seeing that they were also smiling happily, she went to see her aunt Xuan Jinyu.
Xuan Jinyu suppressed her laughter and patted Tong Jie'er's head. "Tong Jie'er, you said it very well."
Tong Jie'er was happy when her aunt praised her, and she no longer worried about what the adults were laughing at. After all, adults are often weird.
Fourth sister Yan Jie'er said the same thing.
After laughing enough, everyone entered the hanging flower gate.
As for Chen Yang, Wang Hu, and their officers, soldiers, and imperial guards, they all stayed in the outer courtyard, and someone would come to entertain them.
At night they would also stay in the outer courtyard, where the houses were sufficient and spacious, enough for them to live in.
After dinner, the Su family members went to the courtyards arranged by the manager of the manor.
Tonight they can finally spend a night in peace and freedom, no longer having to live under the watchful eyes of a group of people who are called guards but are actually monitoring them. They all feel a lot more relaxed.
However, in the courtyard where Su Guanzhang and Xuan Jinyu were, the atmosphere was unusually tense.
Since the two of them had talked it out at Shili Pavilion, Xuan Jinyu never quarreled with Su Guanzhang again along the way. At most, she would pinch or bite him.
Tonight she felt like she was back in Jingzhu Garden, the courtyard of Duke Su's mansion, and even the way she threw a tantrum was exactly the same.
"I don't want you to come." Xuan Jinyu looked at her black hair with heartache. The black hair that was originally as smooth as satin had just been treated carelessly. Many of them were broken at this moment and fell to the ground, forming a small puddle.
Su Guanzhang looked at the broken hair and realized that his good intentions had led to bad consequences. He apologized profusely, "Jinyu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"You did it on purpose, you reckless man."
Xuan Jinyu's eyes turned red as she spoke, "This is my hair, not a towel. Why are you twisting it? Are you trying to wipe my hair? You're clearly ruining my hair."
She had just washed her hair while bathing, and was very happy to have completely washed away the dust and mud that had gotten on her from the road.
Just when she was sitting in front of the mirror and feeling drowsy, the man took the initiative to offer to wipe her hair. Since she had someone to serve her, she happily agreed.
When she opened her eyes again, a handful of her black hair had fallen to the ground.
A handful!
The amount of hair she lost naturally in a month was not as much as the amount he twisted out.
How much effort did he put in? He touched his hair and it was already half dry.
"Woo woo woo, it turns out that your consideration these days was all fake. You're here to take revenge on me just for this moment."
The more Xuan Jinyu looked at the broken hair on the ground, the sadder she felt. The more she spoke, the sadder she became. Tears fell one by one, hitting the hair that had not yet dried on the ground, covering it with a layer of water droplets again.
In Su Guanzhang's eyes, her tears and the broken hair on the ground were accusations against him.
He was at a loss for what to do. He took out a handkerchief to wipe Xuan Jinyu's tears, but she dodged him.
"Jinyu, I..."
He wanted to say that this was how he usually washed his hair.
When marching, fighting, or going out on business, it is very good to wash your hair once. After washing it clean, wrap it with a towel and wring it hard, and a lot of water will be wrung out.
Wring out the towel and wrap it around your hair. Repeat this process once or twice. There will be no water droplets on your hair and it will dry very quickly.
He never cared about the damage that such rough wringing out of his hair might cause to his hair. He has been through this for so many years, and his hair is still black and shiny.
Although he usually didn't care much about other people's hair, according to his recollection, his own hair was definitely better than that of most young men.
But he seemed to have forgotten that Xuan Jinyu was a girl, and he seemed to treasure her beautiful black hair that was as white as silk the most.
But he had twisted so much of her hair!
"Jinyu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have twisted your hair." Su Guanzhang leaned close to her and apologized carefully.
"You only know how to say this, it's the same thing over and over again. Even if you're not tired of it, I am." Xuan Jinyu said with sobs.
What a stinky man! He broke her hair and still wanted to get in her way.
Xuan Jinyu stood up suddenly, almost scaring Su Guanzhang. He hurriedly reached out to protect her.
But Xuan Jinyu refused to even glance at him. She put on her outer garment, combed her half-dry hair and was about to go out.
"Jinyu," Su Guanzhang hurried forward to stop Xuan Jinyu as she was about to leave the yard. "It's almost time to go to bed, and it's getting dark outside. If you have any anger, just vent it on me right here, okay?"
Xuan Jinyu walked around him and was about to leave.
Su Guanzhang hurriedly caught up and stopped in front of her again, "I'll let you beat and scold me, but please stop crying, okay?"
"Su Guanzhang, am I just that shrew in your heart who only knows how to beat and scold you?"
Xuan Jinyu's voice was already nasal. She covered her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Get out of the way. I don't want to stay with you."
"Then I'll go. Jinyu, you go inside and rest."
"What do you mean by leaving or not?" Xuan Wensheng's voice came from outside the yard, and soon he appeared in front of the two of them, followed by Fang Yuanyuan.
They immediately saw the couple standing at the gate of the courtyard confronting each other.
"What's going on?" Xuan Wensheng walked quickly forward to Xuan Jinyu's side. "Why are you crying, sister? Did your brother-in-law offend you again?"
Su Guanzhang: “…” The word “又” used by my third uncle is very clever.
However, he was relieved when Xuan Wensheng and his wife came.
"Brother Wensheng, sister-in-law." He put away the anxiety on his face, greeted the couple, and then looked at Xuan Jinyu, "Jinyu, brother and sister-in-law are here, can you go back to the room with them?"
Very good, Su Guanzhang has offended his sister again.
Xuan Wensheng raised his head and glared at Su Guanzhang, "Brother-in-law, my sister is pregnant! Don't mess with her all the time."
Su Guanzhang smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Xuan Jinyu's tears had stopped flowing, but when she saw her brother and sister-in-law, tears began to flow again.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law." She choked and threw herself into Xuan Wensheng's arms.
Xuan Wensheng caught the person and cried out, "Ouch!" "My little ancestor, you're pregnant! Please don't cry, okay? Your crying is breaking your heart."
"Come and see what little gadgets your sister-in-law and I have picked out for you?"
Fang Yuanyuan was also very anxious. She hurried forward a few steps, took out a small box the size of a palm from Xuan Wensheng's arms, and opened it carefully.
"Look, sister. This is what your third brother and I saw when we were doing business in Jiangzhou Prefecture. I thought you would like it, so I asked the craftsman to make a set for you."
Xuan Wensheng took over the conversation, "That's right, sister. Your brother has put a lot of thought into you. The craftsman didn't want to sell it at first; it's his livelihood."
"But I, your brother, have a silver tongue and the patience of a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise. After spending half a month and adding a hefty price tag, the craftsman finally agreed to make this set for me."
"Come on, do you want to see what's inside?"
Xuan Jinyu was originally sobbing in her brother's shoulder, but her brother was so noisy that she couldn't help but be distracted and listen to a few words.
Okay!
It’s okay to have a silver tongue, but what about being a turtle for ten thousand years?
Xuan Jinyu was finally amused by Xuan Wensheng. She came out of his arms and said angrily, "Brother, you are talking nonsense again. Be careful or I will complain to mother."
Lin Qingwan was most troubled by this situation.
Although he looks like a handsome gentleman, what he says is always so funny that people can't help but laugh and cry. Sometimes I just want to sew his slick mouth shut so that his family members can have some peace of mind.
Xuan Wensheng hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy, "Sister, spare my life. I only humbled myself to make you happy. Please don't complain to mother!"
"Sister, sister, I beg you, please be magnanimous. Jinyu's belly can hold a boat. Oh no, now that she is pregnant with my nephew, I can't hold a boat."
"younger sister……"
Su Guanzhang on the side looked at his third uncle in disbelief. He never expected that he was such a talkative person.
"Third brother, you look like a frog." Xuan Jinyu finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He is so noisy that he is as noisy as all the frogs in a summer pond, making enough noise to hurt your ears.
"Bad girl, who did your third brother do this for? How dare you slander me like this?" Xuan Wensheng said.
But he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, just laugh."
Xuan Wensheng took the handkerchief that Su Guanzhang had been holding for a long time and wiped Xuan Jinyu's tears himself, "You're already my mother, yet you're still so spoiled."
Xuan Jinyu was unhappy. She snatched the handkerchief from Xuan Wensheng's hand and started to wipe it herself. "Brother scolded me."
"Okay, okay, brother won't say anything to you." Tsk, his sister can say anything to him, but he doesn't dare to say anything to her anymore.
Xuan Wensheng surrendered, put his arm around her shoulders and carefully turned her around to face Fang Yuanyuan. "Come and see what gift we have prepared for you with your sister-in-law. I'll go teach your husband a lesson."
lesson?
Xuan Jinyu bit her lip, not looking at the small box in Fang Yuanyuan's hand, and secretly glanced at the two men.
Xuan Wensheng had anticipated this. He smiled secretly as he turned around and pushed Su Guanzhang out the door. "Sister, go back to your room and talk to your sister-in-law. Third brother will vent your anger for you."
oops!
Xuan Jinyu couldn't help but take two steps towards the door, but she quickly remembered that Su Guanzhang had twisted her hair hard and broke it, so she stopped again.
Fang Yuanyuan saw her conflicted look, which made her so amused that she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Okay, sister, don't meddle in their men's affairs."
Fang Yuanyuan closed the small box and put it in her arms. She then took Xuan Jinyu's arm and led her towards the house. "It's just that the man who is in the way is not here, so let's have some private conversation."
After entering the room and walking to the bedside, Fang Yuanyuan was startled to see the handful of hair on the floor. Was this all from her younger sister?
She couldn't help but look up at Xuan Jinyu's hair that was half-draped on her shoulders.
"Third sister-in-law, you've seen it too. This was all done by that stinky man Su Guanzhang."
