Chapter 137 Unwelcome Request



Su Yanqing wrote a few words casually. His handwriting was not as flamboyant as Xiao Hechuan's, but it was also very distinctive and belonged to the euphemism school. It can also be seen from this that he was a person who mostly treated others in a friendly manner and was a person who did not like to show off.

And it was precisely because of this that Su Yanqing in his previous life was treated like that by his elder brother.

Now, he has to be rescued by Sui Sui. I hope he can see the villain's true face, take precautions, and keep everything that belongs to him firmly in his hands.

"Brother Su has a beautiful handwriting. I admire him."

Xiao Hechuan told the truth that Su Yanqing's literary talent was unquestionable as he was a student of a great teacher.

I heard that he is also a good painter. Although I have dabbled in painting, it is just for entertainment at most and not something I can show to the public.

"You can't compare with Hechuan. I heard people in the village say that you have been extremely talented since childhood and learn everything quickly. Now that you are in Jeju, you intend to enter Baiyun Academy and become a student there. In the future, if you need help, please don't hesitate to ask me. My father left many rare ancient books in the study room. They have been covered with dust for a long time. You can borrow them at any time."

This is a good relationship, Xiao Hechuan likes it.

Rare copies of ancient books are not available on the market. Since Su Yanqing said so, he will not be polite with him.

"I am thick-skinned, so I won't be polite to you."

"Okay, next time I come, I will definitely bring you a few copies."

Su Yanqing thought, that’s great, I’ll have another reason to come next time.

Nearing noon, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. As the weather was good today, we set up a table in the yard.

Braised pork, ginger duck, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised fish, mutton soup, fried eggs, stir-fried vegetables, a jar of good wine, and a few bowls of luxurious hot and sour noodles, so delicious!

Su Yanqing couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten such a delicious meal.

There are many rules in wealthy families. Her mother required him to eat light food, not eat oily food, eat until he is 70% full at each meal, have a bowl of soup before meals, and not eat anything else after dinner in the evening. She called it health preservation.

He wanted to move out of the house several times, but his mother always made a fuss with him, saying that she was alone now. He didn't want to get close to him and complained a lot. Sometimes when he came back after a busy day outside, he had to pay his respects to his mother and listen to her preaching. He was really exhausted.

In addition, he was forced to look at portraits of famous ladies from time to time and choose from them.

To put it bluntly, he is not from a noble family, nor a member of the royal family, but he wants to make it like he is selecting a concubine.

Moreover, the other party’s family background cannot be lower than that of the Su family, completely disregarding his thoughts.

Even his grandfather couldn't stand his mother, so he set up another house and lived alone.

Only in the Xiao family could he feel relaxed, just a moment of relaxation.

While eating, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise and nodded with every bite of the food.

For Xiao's mother, the boss of the kitchen, Su Yanqing gave her enough face, her cooking skills were affirmed, and her emotional value was maximized.

"Yan Qing, I will not call you Second Young Master anymore. It's too formal. Don't think I am being rude to you. Whenever you want to eat your aunt's cooking, just come over. I will make whatever you want for you. Eat till you are full!"

"Thank you, auntie. It's just hard work for you." Su Yanqing smiled sincerely.

However, he remembered something and looked at Zhou:

"By the way, Sister-in-law Xiao, I have already said hello to Uncle Qin. You should go to Jishan Hall in Jeju when you have time. He will give you a thorough examination to see how your body is recovering. I think the journey from Baima Town to Jeju Prefecture must have been very bumpy, and life must have been sloppy. You need to be carefully examined. It's cold today, so you'd better avoid cold water on weekdays, and keep warm at night."

Zhou didn't expect that the Second Young Master Su could consider her so carefully, and she was very touched.

"Oh, thank you for your trouble. I don't know how to repay you."

"Su doesn't ask for anything in return, it's just a small favor." This attentiveness is also one of Su Yanqing's strengths.

In fact, Su Yanqing came today, and Xiao's mother wanted to ask him for help with something.

It's about Madam Song. Now Madam Song is living in a refugee camp outside the city with her child. It has been many days, and the government has been guarding the city gate so strictly, making it difficult to enter or leave.

Adults can tolerate the situation outside, where people are not well dressed and have poor food every day, but the children are still young after all.

Along the way, Xiao's mother approved of Madam Song's character, so she wondered if Su Yanqing could help get the person into the city first.

However, Su Yanqing and Madam Song were not related at all, and she was really conflicted inside, wondering whether she should say it out loud.

At this time, the three Xiao Qin brothers actually came back. There was less cargo at the dock today, so they came back early. When they saw Su Yanqing coming, they were very surprised and expressed their welcome.

Xiao Qin had just gone to visit Madam Song. The mother and daughter hadn't washed properly for a long time and looked very disheveled. He felt very uncomfortable.

Madam Song was also very embarrassed when she saw him and didn't dare to look at him because she was in such a miserable state.

As soon as the three brothers came back, the yard became lively. Everyone squeezed together, sat down to eat, and had a great time chatting during the meal.

Su Yanqing stayed at the Xiao family for the whole morning and was ready to leave in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Xiao Qin gritted his teeth and chased after him, stopping Su Yanqing's carriage.

He also knew that it was inappropriate for him to ask others to help an unrelated person, but he also felt that Madam Song was really pitiful and wanted to help her.

Since Su Yanqing knew about this, of course he would take care of it. He immediately promised Xiao Qin that he would find someone to smooth things over at the city gate and then arrange for people to bring Madam Song and her daughter into the city. As for their whereabouts and how they would live after entering the city, it was no longer his responsibility.

When Xiao Qin saw that Su Yanqing agreed, he felt relieved thinking that Madam Song would be out of suffering soon.

I think there will be no problem if the Second Young Master Su comes forward.

However, Xiao's mother hesitated for so long and finally chose not to speak to Su Yanqing. Unexpectedly, her eldest son asked for help.

From this, she also saw her eldest son's feelings for Madam Song. She was afraid that her eldest son had taken a fancy to Madam Song.

Su Yanqing arranged for someone to find an acquaintance that day, and also sent someone to bring Madam Song and her daughter to the city and get new household registration documents for them.

Madam Song didn't know what was going on until some soldiers came directly to her and told her that she could enter the city.

When the others heard this, they thought that everyone could enter, but it turned out that only Madam Song and her daughter could enter. The next night, Madam Song and her daughter were sent to the gate of the Xiao family's courtyard.

Even Xiao's mother didn't expect Su Yanqing to be so quick and efficient, which shows how strong his family background is.
