Chapter 8

Tang Su frowned slightly, the court should have made arrangements for the soldiers who retreated from the battlefield, how could they come to Sujiazhuang to be cooks?

...It's better to pay attention.

Tsk, didn't Qing Yan see it?It doesn't make sense.The breath of a soldier is too obvious, it is impossible not to see it.

Ren Yun looked at Tang Su in thought, sometimes frowning and sometimes tilting his head in doubt, he said helplessly: "Little ancestor, I also saw the flowers, why don't you go find those two?"

Hearing the words, Tang Su came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, it should be almost time for tea now, let's go."

Tang Su led Ren Yun skillfully through the labyrinth-like courtyard, and turned to the study hidden behind a strange pine.

Tang Su pushed open the door carved with sandalwood and lotus patterns, and stepped into the study room. In the simple and simple copper stove with elephant belly, the refreshing and refreshing dragon incense was burning.

Su Changliu and Liu Jun sat in front of the Zaomu Eight Immortals table. Four cups of tea were quietly placed on the table. The tea was emerald green like jade, and the tea leaves floated leisurely in it, filled with white mist.

Su Changliu saw people coming, and said with a smile: "The tea is just right, you will be here."

"That's not right, I'll figure it out." Tang Su sat down with a smile on his face.

Ren Yun cupped his hands towards Su Changliu, saw Su Changliu lightly smiling and nodding his head slightly, and then sat down with his sleeves thrown up.

"Qingyan, I heard that this martial arts league will be held in Sujiazhuang?" Tang Su asked, "Master Su actually agreed?"

Su Changliu took a sip from the white porcelain painted green bamboo teacup, and nodded helplessly: "Yes. My father has already agreed."

"This is so strange." Tang Su frowned, "Didn't your Su family stop meddling in this thing a long time ago?"

"My father didn't intend to intervene in this matter, and I don't know why he agreed to it later." Su Changliu said, "A few days ago, I sent a message from the frontier, which seems to be a rather big deal. My father It’s estimated that I won’t be able to come back in a year or a half.”

Tang Su's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Then you are the only one supporting Sujiazhuang now?"

Liu Jun heard the words, put down the teacup, and looked at Su Changliu quietly.

Su Changliu nodded: "Well, these days, I'm not busy dealing with the previous accounts. The Wulin League just caught up with the busy farming period, so it needs to be done as soon as possible..."

"Don't stay up late." Liu Jun said coldly.

Su Changliu choked, and opened his mouth to say something, but after a while, it turned into a helpless sigh: "Okay..."

"That's right, if you stay up late at a Qing banquet, it's easy to get wind and cold." Tang Su reached out to pick up the tea cup and took a sip, then nodded Su Changliu's forehead, "Look, the eyes are all blue."

Su Changliu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I know."

Ren Yun looked at the study room from the corner of his eye. In the corner stood a half-person-high blue and white porcelain vase, which contained several scrolls of calligraphy and painting.

A stack of thick books was placed on a long black wooden table, and the Langhao brush beside it was lying quietly on the pen holder. The stack of books should be the account books of Sujiazhuang.

There is also a large cabinet that can accommodate several people. On the wall are several Danqing ink paintings with small poems inscribed on them. There is also a small cabinet that is less than knee height, and one of the walls is slumped.

Ren Yun watched Tang Su chatting happily with these two people, drinking tea and looking at Tang Su.

Su Changliu glanced at Ren Yun and asked, "Don't know the name of this young master yet?"

"My next Ren Yun." Ren Yun put down the teacup, "Are you Tang Su's guard?"

Su Changliu was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Tang Su: "Who did you offend again? You're going to find a guard."

Tang Su: "..."

Tang Su said: "I didn't! I didn't find this! That scumbag sent me to follow me!"

"..." Ren Yunmo took a sip of tea, the little ancestor was too shameless.

But Liu Jun said: "Has he offended not many people? Recently he offended Beiming Changdaotang."

"Beiming Long Sword Hall..." Su Changliu murmured, "It's not a particularly big sect, but its influence is not small, but didn't Tang Su go to the frontier to play? How did he bump into Beiming Long Sword Hall? "

Tang Su was in a hurry: "Hey! I really didn't cause trouble! It's really not me this time! It's them themselves who made trouble for me for no reason!"

Ren Yun stretched out his hand and patted Tang Su reassuringly, and said, "I testify, I have been with this little ancestor for so long, and he really did not cause trouble."

Su Changliu frowned: "Bei Ming... is not someone who likes to make trouble. Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Tang Su sat down moaning, drank his tea in one gulp, and said, "It's not about causing trouble, but I like to meddle in other people's affairs and act chivalrously. As soon as I came up, I shouted to eliminate harm for the martial arts, and a group of people greeted me with knives. "

There was an eerie silence in the study for a moment, Su Changliu held the teacup, looked at Tang Su and said, "Tang Su... Zhigui and I both know that although you have indeed made big mistakes, your heart is not as rumored in the world. But more people in Jianghu believe that you are a heinous devil who takes pleasure in killing people, but why don't you explain clearly?"

"Excuse me!" Tang Su said angrily. Seeing Su Changliu and Liu Junze, he was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and turned his head away, "Do you think they will believe me even if I explain it?"

Liu Jun was silent, and shook his head slowly after a while.

Su Changliu looked at Liu Junze in astonishment.

Liu Junze's voice was as cold as an ice spring, and his words were also cold, and he said slowly, "They won't believe it."

Tang Su raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right."

"Why?" Su Changliu asked, "Zhigui, Tang Su, what charades are you playing?"

Liu Jun said: "I have tried."

At that time, he was still a teenager, and his mind was not as calm as it is now. Hearing those gangsters yelling, cursing and insulting his friends wantonly, Liu Jun started arguing with them at that time.

Even if he used his own reputation as a guarantee, no one believed him, and some people scolded him even more severely, saying that Tang Su was worse than pigs and dogs, and even deceived the direct disciple of the head of Kunlun, and some people felt pity for him, saying that he must have been cheated.

"...They only believe what they want to believe." Liu Jun said.

Tang Su looked at Su Changliu's stunned look, nodded his forehead with a smile, and said with a smile, "Look, so why should I explain! If you dare to make trouble, first weigh whether you are qualified or not!"

Ren Yun looked at Tang Su thoughtfully.

A voice came from outside the door: "Master, Miss is looking for you."

Su Changliu sighed, showed his faint smile again, and said softly, "Come in."

The door opened, and Su Yiyi trotted all the way to Su Changliu's legs, with the crumbs of walnut cake still sticking to the corner of his mouth, showing a big smile and reaching out to Su Changliu: "Brother hug!"

Su Changliu leaned down, hugged Su Yiyi and sat on his lap, looked at Cui Zhu who brought in a plate of walnut cakes, and said with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of Yiyi."

Cui Zhu put the plate of walnut cakes on the table of the Eight Immortals, smiled lightly and shook his head: "It's a matter of duty."

The walnut cake is light golden in color, it should have been made not long ago, and it is still warm, the nutty aroma of the walnut blends into the sweetness of the pastry.

Tang Su reached out and picked up one and threw it into his mouth, chewed it and said with wrinkled eyebrows: "Maybe Li Niang made it, only the walnut cake made by her is the best."

Cui Zhu nodded slightly as a response.

Su Yiyi nodded repeatedly when she heard this: "Yes! Li Niang's cakes are the best!"

Su Changliu looked at the crumbs in Su Yiyi's mouth, smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand to gently wipe her clean: "No matter how much you eat, your mouth is full, and you don't even wipe it off."

Su Yiyi blinked her eyes, pouted her lips and blushed slightly, and explained in a low voice: "Yiyi just forgot to wipe the walnut cake because she was in a hurry to bring it to elder brother..."

Su Changliu smiled and said: "Okay, thank you Yiyi, but next time, remember to wipe it clean first." After speaking, he took a piece of walnut cake and ate it.

"Master, what do you want to eat tonight?" Cui Zhu asked while standing aside, looking at Su Changliu.

Su Changliu said: "Since there are customers, let's get some more, um... I can't think of anything for a while. You remember to ask them to add two spicy dishes to make the taste stronger. The rest are free."

Cui Zhu nodded, and said softly, "Then I'll go first."

Su Changliu smiled gently: "Go."

Cui Zhu cupped his hands at several people and retreated.

In the blink of an eye, most of the plate of walnut cakes was gone.

Tang Su licked the corner of his mouth contentedly, wanting to pour himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat, but saw a cup of tea that was supposed to be empty at the moment, picked it up suspiciously, and drank it down.

Didn't I remember just finishing drinking?

Ren Yun calmly raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea.

Tang Su didn't pay attention, but Liu Jun saw it clearly, his eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Su Yiyi reached out to take the walnut cake, but Cui Zhu put it a little far away from her, and couldn't reach it, so she grabbed Su Changliu's clothes and acted like a baby: "Brother! I want to eat it!"

Su Changliu looked at her helplessly: "We will have dinner in a while, haven't you already eaten?"

"No!" Su Yiyi pursed her lips unhappily, "Just eat a little more! Brother——"

Tang Su laughed, took a piece of walnut cake and handed it to Su Yiyi's mouth, and said with a smile: "Come on, your elder brother won't let you eat it, brother Su will give it to you, ah—"

"Ah—" Su Yiyi opened her mouth and took a bite of the walnut cake and swallowed it.

Ren Yun took a sip of tea slowly, a crack appeared on the edge of the cup.

Evening has come.

Su Changliu held Su Yiyi in his arms, and took Tang Su and his party to the banquet hall of Su's family.

The servants had already wiped the tables and chairs clean, Su Changliu sat down first, Liu Junze and Tang Su sat on both sides of Su Changliu in turn, Ren Yun sat next to Tang Su.

Not long after, the handsome young man at the door brought a group of teenagers to the banquet hall, and the teenagers bowed their hands to Su Changliu one after another and said, "I have seen Young Master Su."

Su Changliu smiled and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

The teenagers also took their seats one by one.

Su Changliu turned his head to a maid in green and said, "Go and fetch the altar of drunken spring breeze in the wine cellar, as well as the set of white jade wine sets."

The maid Jiao Didi said yes, then turned and left the banquet hall.

Tang Su propped his face with his hands while grinning: "It's still Qingyan who is considerate and understands that I don't want to drink tea."

Su Changliu smiled lightly: "Of course I know that you only love wine. I just gave you tea and it was too late to order the servants to bring wine, but it's not bad to let you drink some tea once in a while."

"When did I refuse the tea you made?"

The group of young men from the Kunlun Sect sat upright, and from time to time they sneaked glances at the two people who were chatting happily out of the corner of their eyes, and then looked at their senior brother who was silent on the other side, feeling very curious like a cat scratching.

"The dishes are ready." Cui Zhu wiped his hands behind Su Changliu at some point, "Master, do you want some cakes for Li Niang?"

Su Changliu slightly turned his head to look at the person, and said with a smile, "Naturally."

A row of maids in green dresses came to the banquet hall carrying dishes, skillfully placed all kinds of delicacies on the table, and left like a breeze.

Dong Yuan silently watched the table being piled up with dishes, and thought of what the boy said - the young master should add two dishes a little today, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, this is called "adding two dishes a little"?

"Young master, here comes the wine." The green-clothed maid held a black wine jar, followed by a maid holding a brocade box, Shi Shiran bowed to Su Chang.

Su Changliu said: "Give it to Mr. Tang."

The maid responded, and the wine jar gently landed on the table. Another maid opened the brocade box, and a set of white jade wine utensils was quietly placed inside. Faint brilliance, engraved with the pattern of Clivia.

"It's so boring to drink alone!" Tang Su curled his lips, and glanced at a group of teenagers. The teenagers turned their heads to express their disregard, and then looked at Liu Junze, who shook Tang Su slightly. Shake your head.

Tang Su glanced at Ren Yun, smiled and said to the maid, "Please trouble me to get an extra cup and pour it for him too."

As he spoke, he pointed to Ren Yun.

The maid responded with a smile, took out two white jade cups, took out the jug, opened the clay seal, and the strong aroma of wine immediately filled the banquet hall, mixed with a few faint scents of grass and trees. Use a handkerchief to wipe off the residual sealing mud on the mouth of the wine jar, pour the wine into the wine jug and put it in. After sealing the wine jar, pour wine for the two of them.

Tang Su picked up the white jade wine glass, raised it up and signaled to Ren Yun, Ren Yun raised his eyebrows, and raised the wine glass to respond with a chuckle.

Su Changliu smiled and said: "The food and wine are all ready, everyone, use your chopsticks, prepare in a hurry, if there is something that is not to your liking, please don't blame me."

The young men hurriedly said that they didn't dare, until Su Changliu picked up a piece of meat from the belly of the fish with chopsticks and carefully picked out the fishbone and put it into Su Yiyi's bowl, then they moved their chopsticks one after another.

Most people in Sujiazhuang have a light taste and like to eat delicious food.

The people of the Kunlun School are usually pure-hearted and ascetic, so their food is naturally light.

The pot of boiled fish and spicy chicken covered with a thick layer of red pepper and peppercorns naturally fell in front of Tang Su.

Tang Su drank the fine wine, he didn't feel that the dish was very spicy, and no one competed with him, he was happy to eat a mouthful of food and a mouthful of wine, Ren Yun took a sip of wine from time to time, and he didn't particularly like to eat anything, he ate everything One point, most of the time they are silently picking fishbone for Tang Su.

Su Yiyi looks small, but she has a big appetite. Su Chang left her with half a bowl of fish and ate it up in a short time.

Seeing this, the maid at the side hurriedly took a pair of chopsticks and took over Su Changliu's job of serving vegetables, so Su Changliu was free to eat.

Tang Su looked at the teenagers at the table, looked left and right, and always felt that there was someone missing. After a while, he remembered nothing, looked at Liu Jun and said, "Hey, where is the kid named Dong Yuan?"

Liu Jun was silent, quietly picked up a piece of cabbage and chewed it in his mouth.

One of the teenagers looked at his senior brother's face, turned his head carefully and said in a low voice: "Dong Yuan is still copying books... Senior brother said that you are not allowed to eat if you can't finish copying."

"..." Tang Su brought the wine glass to his lips, took a sip, and then said with a smile, "Zhigui, the kid is growing up, so what if he doesn't eat."

Liu Jun glanced at Tang Su, and then at the boy.

The boy understood: "I'll bring him over right away!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands in a well-mannered confession, and left the table to look for Dong Yuan who copied the book.

Su Changliu smiled and said, "Did that boy offend you? You know."

Liu Jun said flatly: "It's just not following the rules."

Su Changliu smiled lightly, knowing that it must not be that simple, but he didn't say much.

Su Yiyi ate a lot more, contentedly holding a piece of pastry and eating bite by bite, looking at her elder brother from time to time.

Su Changliu saw it, stretched out his hand to rub the top of her head and said with a smile, "Is Yiyi full?"

Su Yiyi nodded, and said crisply: "Yiyi is full!"

Su Changliu nodded slightly, turned his head to Su Yiyi's personal maid and said, "Take the young lady for a stroll, to digest food."

The maid saluted and said yes softly.

Su Yiyi obediently got off the chair, waved to Su Changliu, and said seriously: "Yi Yi is leaving first! Brother, remember to eat well!"

"Okay." Su Changliu was dumbfounded by Su Yiyi's serious appearance.

Liu Jun still had that icy look, but after a closer look, he found that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Tang Su, on the other hand, didn't show any face. He was drinking, and being teased by Su Yiyi's appearance, he choked on the wine and coughed violently, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Ren Yun quickly stretched out his hand to pat this reckless little ancestor on the back, with a helpless expression on his face.

Tang Su coughed for a long time before recovering, his eyes were red and he smiled and said, "Master, your lady has already spoken, why don't you have a good meal?"

Su Changliu smiled helplessly, "Okay."

After three cups of wine, Tang Su drank most of the jar of Drunken Spring Breeze, and the rest went into Ren Yun's stomach.

The drunken spring breeze was full of energy. After the banquet, Tang Su felt a little sleepy and flustered, so he yawned and said goodbye to Su Changliu. He found his own bedroom with ease, washed hastily, and took off his clothes. After taking off his coat, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

As soon as Ren Yun entered the door, he saw that the little ancestor was sleeping soundly, he smiled helplessly and hugged the bed quilt and made a floor bunk next to him. It wasn't that Su Changliu didn't have a room, it's just that Ren Yun didn't want to go too far.

Ren Yun tidied up the messy and thrown coat and put it next to Tang Su, and said softly, "Little ancestor, what a dream."
