Chapter 479 Good brother, you already have a daughter, you can't just look at me with nothing.
Tang Bugui frowned slightly.
Before he could speak, he saw Su Shan's white robe.
He came here to escort the princess to a marriage alliance. Now that he has dealt with the princess's affairs, he has time to come and find Tang Bugui.
"You don't have to come!" Tang Bugui glanced at Su Shan indifferently, showing no politeness whatsoever towards his former brother.
Su Shan rubbed his nose, not angry at all. He was really eager to know about his child.
Especially now that he saw Xiao Su Bao, all he wanted to know was whether what Tang Bugui said was true.
He was in such a hurry that he didn't have time to ask any more questions.
"Good brother, you already have a daughter, you can't just look at me and have nothing!"
Su Shan draped her arm over Tang Bugui's shoulder.
They looked like close buddies.
Little Su Bao looked at Su Shan, but her little head was filled with thoughts of the twins.
She remembered seeing the boundless merit in the two children.
And they're so cute!
Su Shan seemed to sense Xiao Su Bao's gaze, tilted her head, and looked at Xiao Su Bao with a big smile.
"My little darling, Uncle Su bought you a pair of gold bracelets. Do you like them?"
Su Shan took out a pair of bracelets with intricate carvings from his pocket. These were the bracelets he had bought today at great expense.
"Little girl, do you like it?" Su Shan looked at Xiao Su Bao with a gentle expression in her eyes.
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Tang Bugui.
The little dumpling's cheeks were slightly flushed.
"Keep it; he's richer than Daddy!"
Tang Bugui glanced at Su Shan and spoke calmly.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback, but her smile widened.
She carefully took the bracelet and obediently said to Su Shan, "Thank you, Uncle Su!"
Su Shan looked at Xiao Su Bao with a smile and reached out to rub the little dumpling's head.
"Little Su Bao is such a good girl, much better than your daddy! By the way, you two seem to be going out, can you take me with you?"
He finally got a day off, just to find out what was going on with his child.
"Hmm!" Tang Bugui nodded, not refusing his request.
The group put on masks before heading out onto the street.
The festive atmosphere in Beijing is still very strong. Even though it's snowing, there are still many people on the streets, coming and going, making it quite lively.
"Spring Festival couplets for sale! Couplets handwritten by Wang Daru's apprentice, only twenty coins a pair!"
"Selling glutinous rice balls, delicious glutinous rice balls... glutinous rice balls symbolizing family reunion..."
The streets were filled with all sorts of hawking cries, and Xiao Su Bao felt like her eyes couldn't take it all in.
Ever since Su Shan snatched Xiao Su Bao into her arms, she has refused to put the little dumpling down.
"Boss, please tell me about my two children!"
Su Shan looked at Tang Bugui pitifully and asked.
Xiao Su Bao was taken aback. Shouldn't she be the one asking herself this question?
After all, she was the one who delivered her two younger siblings!
Before the little dumpling could speak, Tang Bugui glanced at Su Shan indifferently and then said, "I don't know much, but I don't know why your divorced wife ran off to Lan County!"
"She wasn't very lucky. She happened to encounter the plague in Lan County. Everyone was busy at that time, but she was about to give birth. Speaking of which, you should have given my daughter more gifts. If it weren't for my daughter delivering your wife's and ex-wife's babies, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to see those two children at all."
Tang Bugui immediately raised his eyebrows, a hint of pride in his eyes.
Su Shan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Su Bao in disbelief.
How could a little girl who is still a child herself possibly deliver babies for others?
You must be joking!
Before he could even speak, Xiao Su Bao said, "Su Bao delivered the babies, and the little brother and sister are both very well-behaved!"
Xiao Su Bao glanced at Su Shan a little shyly.
Su Shan didn't know what to say at this moment, after all, Xiao Su Bao's words seemed very fantastical to him.
"Su Bao is amazing!"
After holding back for a long time, Su Shan finally spoke up.
Xiao Su Bao smiled even more when she heard Su Shan's praise.
Just then, Tang Bugui continued, "Don't you believe me? Su Bao used to learn midwifery from a very skilled doctor!"
Even Tang Bugui was quite surprised to think of the mute old woman.
Who exactly is that mute old woman?
"Thank you so much!"
Su Shan didn't want to believe it, but he knew that Tang Bugui was never the kind of person to talk nonsense, so this matter must be true.
"Then...how is my child now?"
Su Shan's grip on Xiao Su Bao tightened, and a hint of indescribable emotion flickered in her eyes.
He didn't like Lin Wan, but the children were innocent, and besides, if you count the dates, those two children should be his...
"My younger siblings are all doing well; they're destined for great fortune and wealth!"
Little Su Bao said that she was quite envious of them.
For some reason, Su Shan began to believe Xiao Su Bao, and her voice softened.
"That's good. Thank you, Su Bao, for saving them. Su Bao, tell Uncle Su what you want. Uncle Su will buy it for you!" Su Shan pinched the little tuft of hair on Su Bao's head, his smile extremely warm.
Tang Bugui didn't bother to look at Su Shan's expression. He turned to Xiao Su Bao and said, "You two talk. I saw someone I know. I'm going over there!"
Su Shan waved her hand dismissively, then picked up Su Bao and went on a shopping spree.
Tang Bugui ignored the guy and quickly walked towards the guy who had just hidden.
"Lord Zhou, what are you doing here?" Tang Bugui asked Zhou Zhenghai calmly.
The latter paused, surprised that he had managed to dodge this evil spirit so quickly, and that he had been seen.
He touched his nose, a hint of guilt in his voice, and asked, "Who are you?"
If you pretend to be stupid, you'll actually be stupid!
Looking at the guilty-looking Zhou Zhenghai, Tang Bugui seriously suspected that this guy had done something to betray him.
Tang Bugui narrowed his eyes, his voice turning sinister: "Oh, since we don't know each other, Lord Zhou, be careful walking alone tonight!"
"A threat! This is a blatant threat!" Zhou Zhenghai immediately bristled.
This man is despicable. He made me vomit blood last time, and now he's coming again. He definitely has ill intentions!
Zhou Zhenghai took a step back, looking at Tang Bugui warily.
Tang Bugui didn't say anything, but instead turned to leave.
I hadn't taken more than two steps when my arm was suddenly grabbed.
"My good Lord Tang, please don't frighten me, I'm a coward!"
Zhou Zhenghai looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do!
This god of death is incredibly daring!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhenghai rubbed his temples, glanced around, and seeing that many people were watching, he simply pulled Tang Bugui to a private room on the second floor.
There is one more person in there.
"Oh, Lord Zhou, why did you bring Brother Tang here?" The Third Prince was drinking tea when he saw Tang Bugui enter and couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhenghai in surprise.
After all, didn't Zhou Zhenghai say that he wouldn't allow people to come over by force?
Zhou Zhenghai looked annoyed, but still said, "I won't say any more about it!"
"Your Highness, you should speak to General Tang yourself!"
Zhou Zhenghai sat to the side, looking utterly dejected. This matter must be quite serious, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a state!
The Third Prince glared at the disappointing Zhou Zhenghai, while he himself looked somewhat guilty.
"Your Highness, can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Tang Bugui clearly sensed that these two people were plotting against him.
But the Third Prince was someone I had raised myself. Even if there were some grudges between us, it wouldn't be enough to kill me.
Moreover, their relationship is actually quite good.
"Actually, the thing is like this!"
The Third Prince coughed lightly and finally told the truth!
Otherwise, he was worried that he would really get beaten up.
"Didn't a princess come from the Western Regions? We originally thought that the princess's groom was my second brother or my eldest brother, and even my father was prepared for it..."
Tang Bugui raised an eyebrow, knowing very little about this matter.
The Third Prince felt increasingly uneasy seeing that Tang Bugui was still staring at him.
"But who knew that Lord Zhou and I accidentally overheard from them that their princess's beloved... is you..."
The third prince sighed. He had originally planned to find a way to marry the princess to the son of another minister.
Who knows...
This princess from the Western Regions certainly knows how to choose men.
Tang Bugui frowned, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He had said long ago that he would not marry anyone else, let alone choose a woman from another country!
Tang Bugui glanced at Zhou Zhenghai indifferently; there must be a reason why the latter was so guilty.
"Then why do you need to talk here secretly? Or is there some other scheme involved?"
Tang Bugui simply asked directly.
The two exchanged a glance, and sure enough, Tang Bugui was not stupid at all; on the contrary, he was quite perceptive.
The Third Prince steeled himself and looked at Tang Bugui, then turned his head, closed his eyes, and said in one breath, "Zhou Zhenghai did some calculations, and you and that princess are destined to be together..."
Before he could utter the last word, the Third Prince felt his body rise.
The next moment, he suddenly returned to his days in the military camp.
"General Tang, let's talk this out. This is the Third Prince, not your Tom or Dog!"
Zhou Zhenghai was anxious. He was the one who had invited the Third Prince out today. If something happened to the Third Prince, he would be implicated as well!
After all, the fact that the Emperor and Empress favored Tang Bugui was common knowledge throughout the capital.
Nobody's biased towards me!
Thinking about this, Zhou Zhenghai felt even more aggrieved.
"How did you figure out that I was destined to be with that princess from the Western Regions?"
Tang Bugui looked coldly at Zhou Zhenghai, his tone sinister.
Zhou Zhenghai...
He really did do some calculations and discovered that they were destined to be together!
Does he dare to say it now?
Obviously, they wouldn't dare; after all, they only have one life!
"We're not meant to be, not even a little bit!" Zhou Zhenghai succumbed to Tang Bugui's gaze.
Don't ask why, that's experience.
"Ahem, Brother Tang, I only just found out about this myself. That's why I called Old Zhou over to discuss it. Don't be in such a hurry. Even if I marry that princess, I won't let you marry her. You believe me!"
The Third Prince looked at Tang Bugui with a pitiful expression, tilting his head.
Why is Brother Tang getting fiercer and fiercer?
"Then thank you, Your Highness!" Tang Bugui gently placed the Third Prince on the stool and helped him straighten his clothes.
The Third Prince...
I don't really want such a meticulous Brother Tang; he's afraid it will shorten his lifespan!
"You're welcome, it's only right for a younger brother!" the Third Prince said without batting an eye.
Tang Bugui, wearing a mask, thought for a moment and said, "Lord Zhou, Your Highness, I must stay with my daughter, so I won't disturb you any longer!"
"Su Bao!" The Third Prince's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "I'm going too!"
Tang Bugui glanced at the Third Prince. This kid probably wouldn't be after his daughter!
The Crown Prince's previous behavior was not right; Tang Bugui did not want his daughter to marry into the royal family.
They are all good people, but they are all caught up in their own circumstances!
"Brother Tang, please don't overthink it. I only see Su Bao as my little sister!"
The Third Prince didn't mince words and spoke directly.
Tang Bugui, who raised these princes, naturally knew their personalities.
"Okay!" Tang Bugui nodded, which was taken as an agreement.
Zhou Zhenghai, who was standing to the side, also lit up. Thinking of what he had calculated before, he became excited instantly.
"I want to go too! I want to see it too!"
Zhou Zhenghai shouted in response.
Tang Bugui glanced at Zhou Zhenghai indifferently, and the latter quickly hid behind the Third Prince.
The Third Prince's face darkened slightly. How could the Director of the Imperial Observatory be so cowardly?
The Third Prince was about to say something when he heard Tang Bugui's voice: "Hmm!"
It's just one more person, it's nothing!
Zhou Zhenghai immediately broke into a bright smile.
Little Su Bao, however, encountered some trouble.
Su Shan brought the little girl to a golden building.
Su Shan had originally planned to give Xiao Su Bao jewelry and headdresses.
But who knew that as soon as she entered, she saw a face that Su Shan didn't particularly like.
"Lord Su, it's been a long time!"
A sweet, delicate voice came from behind.
The girl's clothes were completely different from everyone else's; despite it being winter, she was dressed very lightly.
She revealed her small belly and her long, fair legs.
Although the girl was wearing a cloak, it didn't look warm at all, as most of it was open.
Xiao Su Bao glanced at the girl, but this time did not open her Heavenly Eye.
She recalled the facial features her master had taught her and glanced at the girl's face in front of her.
His face looks slightly bitter, and it seems he might face a bloody disaster!
Xiao Su Bao glanced at the girl's lower abdomen again. The abdomen was smooth and flat, but it seemed to have a faint gray tinge.
The little dumpling frowned, and the expression on its face became slightly serious.
The woman beside him seemed oblivious, continuing to stare at Su Shan.
"Lord Su, do you think this necklace is pretty?"
The girl moved closer to Su Shan, blinking her big eyes as she looked at him.
Her lower face was partially obscured by a light veil, making her appear alluring and seductive.
As the girl walked over, you could hear the clear sound of bells. If you looked closely, you could see that she had two anklets tied around her ankles.
Little Su Bao smelled the fragrance on the girl and frowned slightly.
"Uncle Su..." Little Su Bao called out softly to Su Shan.
Su Shan also smelled the fragrance. He frowned and took two steps back.
“Princess Emil, this is the Great Shang Kingdom!” Su Shan said, his brows slightly furrowed.
Emil's face was slightly pale, and her large, watery eyes looked even more pitiful.
She took the necklace back and stepped back.
"This princess is so beautiful!" Hong Qing's sweet voice came, her eyes unable to resist looking at Emil from head to toe.
Hong Yue tugged at her sister and said in a rough voice, "Don't be so lewd, it's too ugly!"
Princess Emil was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at the two women beside Su Shan.
She pursed her lips, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"Emil understands!" The girl took a step back, lowered her head, and looked very sad.
A woman dressed as a maid stepped forward and glared angrily at Su Shan: "General Su, you're too fierce! Our princess is still young!"
Su Shan's lips twitched, but he ignored the maid in front of him.
"You've just arrived in the capital, why don't you rest for a few more days at the foreign quarters?"
Su Shan glanced at Princess Emil and said something unusually kind.
Emil pursed her lips, her eyes brimming with tears.
She had thought it was fate that they met here, but seeing Su Shan like this, Emil felt extremely sad.
The maid was about to say something when Princess Emil stopped her: "Guzanli, that's enough, stop talking!"
Emil pulled the maid aside, stopping her from saying anything more.
"I'm sorry, I've disturbed General Su. I'll leave now!"
Emil saw the little baby in Su Shan's arms and thought the little baby was like a bright pearl in the sky, so beautiful.
Even as she was leaving, Emil took a blue gem out of her bag.
This is her most abundant possession: various gemstones.
"A beautiful little pearl, a small gift from you!"
Emil placed the sapphire in Little Su Bao's hands, then grabbed the hem of his cloak and quickly ran out.
When I ran out, I almost bumped into Tang Bugui, who had just come over.
Emil subconsciously looked at Tang Bugui.
But all they saw was Tang Bugui's profile.
He almost fell over, but Hong Yue reacted quickly and reached out to pull Princess Emil back.
"Princess, are you alright?" Hong Yue blinked, her eyes seemingly carrying a hint of seduction...
Emil quickly nodded gratefully to Hong Yue, but got into the carriage without looking back.
Little Su Bao couldn't resist and finally opened her third eye to look over.
Upon seeing this, the little girl frowned even more deeply.
Why does a person have two red lines on their body?
One of the red threads on Princess Emil's body was wrapping around Uncle Su, while the other was heading towards her own father...
Little Su Bao's face turned slightly pale!
She had thought that her father would remarry. In the past, when she went out to seek medical treatment with the mute old woman, she had seen many stepmothers and stepchildren.
Little Su Bao felt inexplicably sad.
But when she looked at her father, she found that he was surrounded by malevolent energy, and the red threads couldn't get close at all...
Once Emil was in the carriage, she lifted the curtain and saw what was happening.
Little Su Bao happened to look over, and the two locked eyes.
The little dumpling's expression changed slightly when it saw Emil's dark forehead.
Then, she saw Emil being kidnapped, and when he returned, he seemed like a completely different person!
She even tried to steal her father, and in doing so, she almost killed Uncle Su...
Little Su Bao instantly woke up, her eyes fixed on the carriage that Emil had left.
"Father, Father!"
Little Su Bao called out to Tang Bugui.
Tang Bugui stepped forward and took Xiao Su Bao from Su Shan's arms, who was reluctantly standing there.
Where is your mask?
Tang Bugui frowned slightly as he looked at his daughter's empty face.
"This thing can affect a young girl's vision..." Su Shan touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.
Tang Bugui glanced at Su Shan, then took the mask from his hand and covered the little girl's face with it.
The father and daughter wore masks of different sizes, one large and one small, making them look like a family!
"What do you like?" Tang Bugui asked as he carried Xiao Su Bao to the shopkeeper.
There were many boxes on the table, containing various beautiful gold and silver jewelry.
Little Su Bao was dazzled by the choices, but in the end she chose a jade hairpin meant for men.
"This is for Father. He'll look great wearing it!"
Tang Bugui looked at the jade hairpin in the little dumpling's hand, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Just then, the little dumpling continued, "Fourth brother, this is for you!"
Little Su Bao held another white, slightly smaller jade hairpin and handed it to Tang Si.
Tang Si was taken aback, clearly not expecting to receive a gift.
He glanced at his uncle subconsciously.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao took out a money bag from her bosom.
"Uncle Shopkeeper, how much is this?" Little Su Bao blinked her bright eyes at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said to Xiao Su Bao, "If you want them, young lady, two hairpins will cost you one hundred taels of silver!"
Little Su Bao's eyes widened immediately.
Two hairpins for one hundred taels of silver...
My heart is a little sore...
It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, it's just that I subconsciously feel heartache.
"Here you go!" The little girl clutched her chest, took a deep breath, and took out a silver note worth one hundred taels of silver from her purse.
The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting the young girl to have so much silver on her. He subconsciously glanced at Tang Bugui and Tang Si.
"This is a gift from Su Bao to Daddy and Fourth Brother. Su Bao is rich!"
The little dumpling spoke in a sweet, chubby voice.
It's just a little heartbreaking.
Tang Bugui looked into the little dumpling's eyes, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up.
"good!"
Just then, a mournful voice came from the side.
"Su Bao, you're giving your father a gift, but what about your third uncle?" The third prince leaned closer, tilting his head, his handsome face looking at little Su Bao.
The little dumpling blushed and picked through the hairpins in the tray again. This time, she chose a black jade hairpin.
Little Su Bao looked at her third uncle's adorable baby face and handed him the hairpin.
"Third Uncle, use this one!" Little Su Bao didn't choose randomly; this hairpin has a faint trace of spiritual energy, and it will feel very comfortable to wear.
The Third Prince was about to say something when he heard Tang Bugui say, "If Your Highness doesn't like it..."
“I like it! Who says I don’t like it!” The Third Prince immediately stuck the hairpin into his hair.
Zhou Zhenghai was originally the director of the Imperial Observatory, and he didn't notice anything amiss at first.
But when the Third Prince put on the hairpin, he instantly sensed something different.
This hairpin is a fine piece of jewelry!
If he hadn't been outmatched by the Third Prince, he would have snatched the hairpin from him.
"Ahem, Tang... ahem, Miss Su Bao, I'm getting old, how about you give me a gift too?"
Zhou Zhenghai pretended to be mature and gave Xiao Subao a pitiful look.
Xiao Su Bao was stunned. Looking at Zhou Zheng Hai's body radiating merit, Xiao Su Bao also felt very comfortable.
"good!"
After the little dumpling agreed, it looked around the plate, but in the end, it saw a white thumb ring on the plate next to it.
"Sir, do you like thumb rings?"
Little Su Bao turned her head and blinked at Zhou Zheng Hai.
The latter nodded immediately.
The little girl possessed abundant spiritual energy and extremely strong fortune.
It would be nice to give something to yourself.
"Sure, anything from a girl is fine!"
After Zhou Zhenghai finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Tang Bugui, wondering what gift he should give to Xiao Su Bao later!
It definitely can't be cheap; it has to be good!
Little Su Bao took the thumb ring.
"Uncle, this is for you!" Little Su Bao turned to look at the shopkeeper: "Uncle Shopkeeper, how much are these two?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said to Xiao Su Bao, "These two together cost eighty taels of silver!"
Little Su Bao touched the money pouch on her chest and obediently took out a silver note worth one hundred taels.
Money flies so fast in Beijing...
You could feel Xiao Su Bao's heartache even through the mask.
Tang Bugui, standing to the side, curled his lips into a smile, a hint of barely perceptible amusement in his eyes.
"Thank you, young lady!" Zhou Zhenghai's smile broadened considerably upon receiving the gift.
This thumb ring really suits me perfectly!
Seeing the uncle happy made Xiao Su Bao feel a little less pain in her heart.
The Third Prince gave Zhou Zhenghai a disdainful look, then looked at Xiao Su Bao with a big smile and said, "Niece Su Bao, take whatever you like. It's your uncle's treat today!"
The third prince was already quite young and handsome, so when he opened his mouth, many people couldn't help but take a second look.
There are simply too many wealthy and powerful families in the capital.
The Third Prince was usually low-key, so no one recognized him.
If the Second Prince were standing here, he would probably be recognized at first glance.
"No...no need!" Little Su Bao quickly waved her hand.
My mother said we shouldn't try to take advantage of others!
Tang Bugui glanced at the Third Prince, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "No need, I have money!"
The third prince was taken aback, then realized something, and his lips twitched.
I never imagined my older brother would learn to lie...
After all, Tang Bugui knew perfectly well whether he had any money or not.
If it weren't for our parents' support over the years, the General's Mansion would probably be in ruins.
Seemingly sensing the Third Prince's gaze, Tang Bugui turned his head and looked at him leisurely.
"What is it?" Tang Bugui asked, his eyes cold and his tone chilly.
"No!" The Third Prince took a step back, his eyes indifferent.
Little Su Bao glanced at her father, then at the Third Prince, and finally chose one.
"Daddy, Su Bao wants this!"
Little Su Bao pointed to a red coral necklace and said.
This necklace is probably the least noticeable one among all the jewelry pieces on display.
Because the corals were small and had some flaws, they were the ones that others had rejected.
The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback. He looked at Xiao Su Bao, then at the others, and his feelings were complicated.
