The banquet was gradually coming to an end. Everyone had a great time drinking, and some people were already drunk and starting to feel dizzy.
Su Jingsheng was one of the ones who could not hold his liquor well. He tried his best to avoid drinking, but today was his brothers' birthday and of course he was happy, so he could not help himself and drank three glasses in a short time.
He was not drunk at this time, but he was already feeling a little dizzy.
Looking at the big man at the table, she was not interested at all. She turned her head to look at Wu Tongtong who was talking and laughing with Xiao Lingling not far away, and her cheeks began to turn slightly red.
His eyes, unlike usual reserved ones, became so direct, staring straight at her, making it impossible to ignore them.
Wu Tongtong noticed something strange and turned her head inadvertently. In just a moment, her eyes met Su Jingsheng's.
Wu Tongtong seemed to be scalded by something. She immediately turned her head away, raised her teacup awkwardly, and took a sip to cover up.
In the past few years, Su Jingsheng always found various excuses to get close to her. At first, she didn't notice.
But in the past two years, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl also began to understand those innocent feelings, and naturally understood his thoughts.
Faced with Su Jingsheng's clumsy yet persistent protection, she naturally would not remain indifferent, but Su Jingsheng never expressed it directly.
We can't let a girl like her take the initiative.
So the two of them always maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and never broke that layer of window paper.
Xiao Lingling looked at Wu Tongtong's cheeks which had turned red for no apparent reason and spoke in surprise.
"Sister Tong, you didn't drink either? Why is your face so red?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, as Wu Tongtong became even more embarrassed after she did.
They were at the same table with Pei Huan and the others. Little Lingling, as a child, didn't understand, but the adults did.
For a moment, a look of either joking or teasing passed over Wu Tongtong and Su Jingsheng. Wu Tongtong lowered her head in shame, pretending not to see it.
Pei Huan and Xia Yan looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
They all had no objections, it just depended on the children's wishes.
At this time, Pei Huan rolled his eyes at Su Jingsheng.
She was really going to be mad at this wooden son. He was already so grown up, but how could he not even pursue a girl?
It was obvious that Tong Yatou was also interested in him, but she just didn't say it out loud. If she were Tong Yatou, she would have beaten this guy eight hundred times.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and immediately cleared her throat and spoke.
"Oh, speaking of Tongtong, sister-in-law, I remember Tongtong will be coming of age in two months, right?"
Xia Yan didn't understand what she meant, but she also replied, "Yeah. It's only about two and a half months away. I'll post something for you then."
By the way, I'd like to ask you, sister-in-law, for a favor and help serve as the main guest for this child!"
Pei Huan naturally agreed, "Oh, that's great, Tongtong was raised by me, so it's only fitting that I be her main guest.
Besides, since Tongtong has reached marriageable age, it's time to talk about in-laws. Sister-in-law, do you have any suitable family that you would like to marry into?
If there is, I will help you negotiate, if not, I can also help with advice.
Our Tongtong is so well-educated and well-mannered that she deserves the best man in the world. Whether he is from Chen'an Prefecture or the capital, we can choose any one, just the one with good character and who suits our taste."
Pei Huan deliberately raised his voice. Although he was speaking to the female guests, the male guests sitting nearby could hear him clearly.
My goodness, when this bombshell news came out, Su Jingsheng was stunned.
Hey, why does my mother have a backstab?
He was stunned for a moment, and just when his mother was about to say something else, the alcohol in him rushed up and he stood up.
He was clearly staggering and couldn't even walk straight, but he still strode in circles and came to Wu Tongtong.
He grabbed Wu Tongtong's arm and protected her behind him.
He looked at Pei Huan angrily, "Mother! You, you, why are you still messing around with couples?"
Pei Huan suppressed his laughter and leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed. "Oh? How do you know I'm just messing around with couples? Tongtong is old enough to get married, what's there to be shy about?
It's perfectly normal for men to get married when they're old enough and women to get married when they're old enough. Don't worry, mother will definitely find a good family for Tongtong."
Tongtong lowered her head behind Su Jingsheng. She probably guessed the Empress Dowager's intention. Her face turned red to her neck. She was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, but she was secretly expecting something in her heart.
She lowered her head and looked at her wrist which was being held, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Then he saw the man in front of him become more powerful, "Mother, you still say you are not randomly matching people up! You know very well that I am very happy with Tongtong.
I have been waiting for so many years, just waiting to propose marriage to her after she reaches the age of 15. Now you actually come out and want to be a matchmaker for Tongtong. What should I do?
No! Tongtong is mine, no one can take her away! Mother, you can’t take her away either! "
Su Jingsheng's words were so powerful that everyone present immediately showed an expression of understanding and smiled.
Of course, apart from Wu Bokai who wanted to kill someone, the atmosphere was still very harmonious.
Pei Huan couldn't help laughing a few times, then glared at him, "Oh, you also know that you have someone you like?
Why don't you tell me? If you don't tell me, who will know? How could someone like Tongtong, such a good kid, not like her?
With your nagging personality, you might not realize it until Tongtong is about to get married. Is your mouth just for eating and drinking?
