It is true that only some of his cousins ​​were present at Su Wenfang's birthday banquet. After dinner, perhaps Su Wenfang's parents were there, so the banquet was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't dare to make any noise, let alone enforce the drinking order.

And the parents of the Su family seemed to know the reason, so they went back to the room with an excuse after dinner, and only a few sons and daughters of the Su family, a few cousins ​​and friends of Su Wenfang were left in the living room.

Because Jiang Xinlan is still the maid of the Su Mansion at the moment, she is serving the guests with tea in the hall, but Su Wenfang's eyes stay on her face from time to time, occasionally saying a few words of concern: "Are you tired, if you are tired Let's go and rest."

Jiang Xinlan just nodded and smiled, and didn't answer. Unexpectedly, she just poured hot tea and was about to get up, but she didn't want to bump into the person behind her. The teapot in her hand fell to the ground, and the hot water splashed on the instep of the person behind her. , immediately screamed out, attracting the attention of the whole house.

"How do you girl do things? How can you be so short-sighted." The girl in red sat on the ground awkwardly, hugging her scalded feet, glaring at Jiang Xinlan with red phoenix eyes, and even her tone at this moment seemed extraordinarily mean.

"I'm sorry Miss Biao, I... I don't know that you are behind me." Jiang Xinlan hurriedly stepped forward to help the girl in red, but unexpectedly she slapped her away and snorted coldly:

"What are you, you are worthy of touching me."

Jiang Xinlan looked at the girl, resisted the tears from falling down her eyes, knelt on the ground in a proper manner, but Su Wenfang got up immediately, pulled Jiang Xinlan up from the ground, looked at the girl in red and said: "You are Stand behind Xinlan on purpose, don't think I didn't see it."

"Cousin, I'm your real cousin and your unmarried wife. How can you accuse me of a servant? My foot is also injured." The red-clothed girl's eyes turned red, and her pitiful posture immediately appeared. , no worse than Jiang Xinlan.

"Cui Ying, it's your fault in the first place. It should be you who apologized to Xinlan. Your foot injury is your own fault." Su Wenfang protected Jiang Xinlan behind him, not polite at all.

While a group of relatives were whispering, Su Wenfang's younger brother Su Wenzheng hurried forward to help Cui Ying up, but Cui Ying pushed him away: "What are you, you deserve to help me."

Su Wenzheng raised his eyes to see Cui Ying's appearance, then lowered his head, Su Wenfang saw that his younger brother had also suffered at the moment, and even sneered: "To be my wife, you must love my family members, my My younger brother grew up studying with me since he was a child, and my wife will definitely be the elder sister-in-law after she enters the house. The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, so she must have kind thoughts in her heart. You are not worthy of being my wife with your arrogant appearance."

"Our marriage was decided by my aunt and my aunt. What you say doesn't count." Cui Ying lost all face, but at this moment she still stood up proudly, maintaining her pride: "What's more, such a A maid is only fit to be a concubine, if you want to be the eldest daughter-in-law, don't even think about it!"

"Who will be the eldest daughter-in-law of my Su family? It's not up to an outsider to decide. I, Su Wenfang, said in front of so many people today that she, Jiang Xinlan, is the one I really love. I am willing to love her. If If you can't even be your own master, how can you talk about inheriting the family business in the future." Su Wenfang tightly held Jiang Xinlan's trembling hand.

On the other hand, Jiang Xinlan looked at Su Wenfang in astonishment, she didn't know whether it was joy or gratitude in her eyes, her expression was complicated, and tears rolled down her eyes for a moment.

"Brother Su is right!" Yuan Yin immediately applauded after listening to Su Wenfang's words. Since he knew Su Wenfang, he has always been easy-going, talkative and laughing, just like tonight. A sincere look is really rare.

But as soon as Yuan Yin's applause fell, he attracted everyone's attention. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yuan Yin's face, and he quickly took a step back and hid behind Xiao Rong, but then he poked his head out and continued:

"Brother Su, stick to what you love in your heart. As for the future, it will naturally be straight when the boat reaches the bridge."

Xiao Rong looked sideways at the small head protruding from behind, listening to the meaning of his words, his heart was slightly moved, but he didn't want to meet Yuan Yin's eyes the moment he raised his eyes, and immediately caused Yuan Yin to bow his head and hide in the behind.

Because Cui Ying was wronged, she went to the backyard accompanied by several cousins ​​from the Su residence, and only a group of men were left in the front hall to sit down again.

Su Wenfang was a little embarrassed, picked up his teacup and said, "I made everyone laugh."

"Not only that, if that girl came in just now, I'm afraid Brother Su's life will not be easy." He Wenhan also said with a smile.

But Yuan Yin was curious, and asked immediately: "I thought about it all night, Mr. Luo and Mr. Wang Henian are not friends with Brother Su, why didn't you come today?"

"Brother Wang left Beijing last month because of something in his hometown. I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Beijing until next year. As for Brother Luo, the post was sent, but there has been no response." Su Wenfang sipped his tea lightly, casually Said.

After hearing this, Yuan Yin turned his head to look at Xiao Rong, wondering if this Luo Chen didn't mind Xiao Rong's presence, that's why he refused to come?

"Cousin, did you speak more seriously?" Yuan Yin leaned in front of Xiao Rong and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't intend to, so I can't take him as a souvenir." Xiao Rong said it calmly, and even his expression seemed extraordinarily reasonable.

Yuan Yin was going to ask again, but unexpectedly, the doorkeeper ran in in a panic. Perhaps because of his too fast pace, he fell at the door, and then he got up and came to Su Wenfang and said:

"My father-in-law... a large group of people came up ahead and said they want us to hand over their wives."

Su Wenfang who heard the words stood up in surprise, and then looked sideways at Xiao Rong, but Xiao Rong and Yuan Yin were also a little surprised, then got up, walked out of the front hall with Su Wenfang, and went towards the gate.

Outside the gate of the Su Mansion, Fang Hezheng, the man who filed a complaint at the Jingzhao Yamen last time, led a large group of menacing people, holding wooden sticks and holding torches, lighting up the entire street brightly.

Seeing this situation, Su Wenfang couldn't help but look at Xiao Rong for help.But Xiao Rong stood at the door calmly, shaking the folding fan in his hand, slowly stepped forward to the front row, looked at Fang He who was leading the people, and couldn't help asking:

"Why, did you collect enough of the 200 taels of silver Mr. Su said, and come here to redeem someone?"

"You are nonsense. Our wife is clearly trapped in the mansion by you, so why don't you hurry up and hand it over, otherwise, don't blame me and force someone to break in." Fang He was originally fierce, but now he became ruthless. It even made some young masters of the Su Mansion who came to the banquet take a step back in fright.

"You have a try." Xiao Rong's tone was not serious, but for some reason it was cold, which made Fang He just look at it in surprise.

"I won't talk to you, Mr. Su, I advise you to hand over our wife as soon as possible." Fang He withdrew his gaze, but glared at Su Wenfang in front of him, and because of Xiao Rong's presence, Su Wenfang was also full of confidence, and took a step forward road:

"I said, you have collected enough taels of silver, and I will hand over Xinlan to you, 200 taels of silver, here you go."

"Bah, this is just an excuse, don't try to lie to me a second time." Fang He spat, then said angrily.

"Since there is no silver tael, then we won't hand it over." Su Wenfang threw up his robe sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back, not looking directly at Fang He at all.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. Come on, come, rush in with me and invite Madam out." Fang He said fiercely, and wanted to lead someone to rush in with a wave of his hand, but he didn't want to be at this very moment, dressed in black and gold. Zhuan Zhanfeng held a long sword and descended from the sky, separating Fang He and others from Su Wenfang and others.

Zhan Feng's face was cold, his eyes were fierce, and those people who insisted on scaring him did not dare to take a step forward.

"Who are you! Aren't you afraid that I will kill you!" Fang He quickly threatened.

"You have such a big tone, the emperor dares to kill you lightly." Hearing Fang He's words, Yuan Yin came out from behind with an angry face, stood beside Xiao Rong, and looked at Fang He with a sneer :

"This is my guard. I just want to warn you that this is the residence of the imperial court officer. If you are so ruthless, if you rush in with someone, you may lose your head."

"Hmph, but a mere Hanlin bachelor is still such an official title." After Fang He heard Yuan Yin's words, he sneered even more.

But Yuan Yin's complexion was as sinking as the bottom of a pot, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he could squeeze out water: "You are so bold, and you still use the word mere."

"My lord is on good terms with high-ranking officials in the court. It's not a problem to deal with a Hanlin scholar. But you, dare to leave your name, and when the account is settled in the coming day, I will settle it with you." Fang He looked at it. Looking at the boy's figure, he didn't even look at it.

"Hey, what a big tone, is it possible that the high-ranking official that your master met will be bigger than the prime minister and the imperial censor beside me?" Yuan Yin snorted coldly, and then took a step forward , approaching Fang He, seeing a flash of surprise on Fang He's face, Yuan Yin said again:

"He's not just a royal censor, he's also the grandson of Duke Zhen. Lord Zhen knows, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager, the senior official whom your lord met, can be older than the Empress Dowager? Could it be possible, Do you still plan to settle accounts with the empress dowager's relatives as well?"

Fang He looked at the fierce look of the young man in front of him, but he couldn't say a word at this moment, he just backed away again and again.

Zhan Feng followed behind Yuan Yin, respectfully said: "My lord, the people from the patrol battalion have already arrived, and they cannot escape."

"Okay, don't keep one, take them all." Yuan Yin snorted coldly, took a step back under Zhan Feng's protection, turned around and walked back, but didn't want to meet Xiao Rong's eyes, which were complicated, Yuan Yin immediately nodded, He obediently stood beside Xiao Rong.
