Chapter 39 The Heart Ripples
Spring was supposed to be rainy, but for some reason here, it was thunderous and torrential downpours every now and then.

The wind outside the window was blowing more and more violently, lightning bolts lit up in the darkness, as if they might burst at any moment, and the sound of rain falling was especially clear at night.

Su Chengrui was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

She turned over, and with the flashes of light from time to time, she vaguely saw a figure standing in the room.

Dressed in white, with disheveled hair.

Just glanced at it, Su Chengrui was startled, and immediately woke up, sat up from the bed, stared at the figure standing in the dark with vigilant eyes, "Who is there?"

The voice fell, and the sound of thunder exploded in the sky.

"what!"

The figure screamed, covered its ears, ran over and threw itself into Su Chengrui's arms.

"Susu, I'm afraid..."

A timid voice sounded.

Ah Qing held Su Chengrui's arm tightly, listening to the constant thunder outside the window, her body couldn't help trembling.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Feeling that familiar breath, the coldness in Su Chengrui's eyes faded away.She patted the thin back lightly and comforted him softly.

Ah Qing didn't say anything, and the hand holding her arm couldn't help but tighten.Even through a layer of fabric, you can just feel the coolness coming from that soft little hand.

Su Chengrui lowered his eyes and saw that he was barefoot on the cold floor, with a thin layer of jacket on his body, and his brows were furrowed in displeasure.

"Why are you running here without shoes on? What if you catch a cold?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pulled him into the quilt.

Cover the little feet that are as frozen as ice cubes in your hands to keep him warm.Ah Qing struggled slightly, but was held tightly by her.

"do not move."

"Hmph, Susu doesn't care about me anyway. If I don't take the initiative to come to you, you won't come to me."

Ah Qing was wronged and complained, leaning her head on her shoulder and weeping in a low voice, "Ah Qing is loved by no one! It's better to be clean after dying of illness!"

"What nonsense."

Su Chengrui smiled and pulled him into his arms, pulled him to lie down under the quilt together, patted his back and said, "Are you bored in the mansion these days? There will be a feast of flowers at the end of the month, what do you think?" Don't want to play?"

Ah Qing raised her bright eyes and asked curiously, "Hundred Flowers Banquet? Is there anything delicious?"

"You're a snack, since it's a banquet, it's natural to eat, drink, enjoy flowers and have fun."

"Then I'm going!"

"Okay, then go to bed early, tomorrow I will ask Xiao Zhong to take you to make clothes."

Ah Qing nodded obediently, arched her body in her arms to find a comfortable position, and smelled the fragrance of tobacco mixed with the faint sandalwood.

"Susu..."

"Huh?" Su Chengrui closed his eyes and made a low voice through his nose.

"Daddy said that only husband and wife sleep under the same quilt. Do you think we are sharing the same bed like a husband and wife?"

There was a hint of shyness in his voice.

Hearing this, Su Chengrui opened his eyes, and the light shining in the man's eyes in the darkness was as bright and dazzling as the galaxy.

Her mind froze for a moment.

Immediately, he reacted and knocked a word on that furry head, "stir-fried chestnuts."

"If you don't sleep, you will lose your beautiful clothes tomorrow!"

Ah Qing rubbed her head in pain, immediately put down her hands when she heard Su Chengrui's words, and obediently closed her eyes.

The corners of Su Chengrui's lips raised slightly.

Not long after, a steady breathing sound came from her ears, she lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on the peaceful face in her arms.

The heavy rain outside the window did not know when it stopped, and the raindrops fell from the eaves with a thin and crisp sound, creating shallow ripples on the originally calm water.

Early the next morning.

When Su Chengrui went to the main courtyard to greet Mrs. Su Li, he asked about going back to his hometown at the end of the month to visit his relatives.It never occurred to Su Li that when she heard that she was going to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she agreed without saying a word.

"Hundred Flowers Banquet is great! They are all talented and beautiful women in the city. You young people should hold more gatherings like this and make more connections."

Su Chengrui: ...

"Didn't you tell me to accompany you to do something in your hometown that day?"

"Oh, it's not really a big deal." Su Li waved her hand and smiled, "You just go and play with them, by the way, and go to Luoshangfang to order some beautiful clothes. Yinzi, look at how plain you are dressed now."

Su Chengrui suddenly laughed a little and said, "Father, it's just a small party, there's no need to make it so grand!"

"It's not a matter of being grand or not, even if you're a woman, you can't be negligent in dressing up!"

"There's nothing wrong with me."

Su Li was too lazy to argue, looked at Bai Jiang who was bringing tea into the room and asked, "Bai Jiang, what do you think?"

Bai Jiang was stunned for a moment, looked at the two of them, and said hesitantly, "Master, actually, I think Miss looks pretty like this."

"Baijiang!" Mrs. Su Li stomped her feet angrily.

"Here, dad, look! Everyone has sharp eyes!" Su Chengrui smiled and winked at the man behind him before speaking, and gave a thumbs up, "Have eyes."

Hearing the woman's praise, Bai Jiang's cheeks became hot, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Su Chengrui took Xiao Zhong and Ah Qing out of the mansion to Luoshangfang and chose some pieces of fabric he liked to measure new clothes for Ah Qing.

Su Chengrui was in the private room, drinking the tea served by the waiter, and looking around.

In fact, in ancient times, the management layout of Luoshangfang was considered advanced.There are three floors of the attic, and the first floor is mostly ready-made clothing styles and some affordable cloth.

The second and third floors are used to receive prominent merchants and relatives of officials in the city.

Suddenly there was the sound of chairs and stools falling to the ground from the next room, accompanied by the woman's angry shouts, the fierce dispute immediately attracted the attention of many people in the shop.

"Boss Li has something to say, so why get so angry."

"You Luoshangfang are too unkind! Anyway, we have been working together for these years, and it's nothing more than lowering the price of silk every year. Now if you change people, you can change people!"

The seat where Su Chengrui was sitting happened to be at the corner of the corridor, and from the window, he could just see the two people standing in the room arguing through the half-open door.

The shopkeeper of Luoshangfang comforted the woman with a sad smile.

The middle-aged woman standing opposite her was wearing a tan brocade dress, her body was slightly bloated, and her round face was flushed with anger.

Su Chengrui recognized her.

Li Mao, the owner of the silkworm weaving workshop, has made a living from weaving for more than a dozen generations. Most of the ready-made clothing stores in Tongcheng use their silk and cotton wool.

"Huh? Isn't this Boss Li?"

Xiao Zhong obviously also saw the woman on the opposite side, and said in surprise.

Su Chengrui looked up at him, "You know him too?"

Xiao Zhong nodded, "Boss Li is a nice person, he has a big business, but the cotton and cloth he sells to us common people are very affordable, and he doesn't just want to make black-hearted money like others."

"When you Luoshangfang has a new supplier, you will cross the river and tear down the bridge. I don't care if I don't do this kind of business!"

Li Mao came out of the room angrily, and happened to see Su Chengrui who was leaning against the window drinking tea, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

"What a coincidence, Boss Li."

Su Chengrui smiled lowly and raised the teacup in his hand to her.
