Chapter 796 My clothes are torn, my sister mends them for me

The next day.

Xiao Tingchen took the notice to see Yuan Meng.

The process was surprisingly smooth, and he easily got [-] elite soldiers to suppress the bandits.

When he left King Su's mansion, Yuan Meng called him suddenly.

He looked back, and saw that the old man in his fifties was sitting upright on the animal skin cushion, his cloudy old eyes showing coolness, "Although I shouldn't say these words, you know, you didn't get this opportunity in the first place."

Xiao Tingchen looked at him.

"That girl, Su Jiu, came to the palace to visit me in the snow last night... She begged me to give you a chance to suppress the bandits, and even went against her heart, using your kindness of burying Fuxue's bones and collecting the corpses to force me... Wang agrees. Xiao Tingchen, you know exactly who buried Fuxue's body and who persuaded you to send her back to Liangzhou."

Xiao Tingchen's eyebrows were serious.

The Rong family forced the palace, and Yuan Fuxue hanged himself to death.

He was too lazy to care about Yuan Fuxue, it was Su Xiaojiu who persuaded him to send the corpse back to Liangzhou.

The person who is kind to Yuan Meng is Su Xiaojiu, not him at all.

Yuan Meng smiled, "Xiao Tingchen, men in Liangzhou like a clean and good woman like Su Jiu. But there are thousands of women in the world, how many of them can be like her? You have to treat her well, Otherwise, Brother Lu Yi won't be able to forgive you, and neither will this king!"

Xiao Tingchen smiled slightly.

Caressing the golden animal head candlestick embedded in the wall with his fingertips, he casually said: "King Su's candlestick seems to be made of pure gold."

"Naturally." Yuan Meng was annoyed, "Although Liangzhou is remote, it is also a fortress for business travel between the two countries. Although my Su Wangfu is not as prosperous as the Chang'an family, it has a heritage accumulated for thousands of years."

"pretty good."

Xiao Tingchen broke off the half of the golden candlestick and hid it in his bosom.

He picked up the bamboo hat leaning against the eaves and stepped into the wind and snow.

Yuan Meng: ...? !

He came back to his senses and was out of anger, "Xiao Tingchen, stop for me!"

Xiao Tingchen's voice was lazy: "It's almost Chinese New Year, I'll buy some good things for my sister Xiaojiu. Su Wang is so generous, I think he won't care about me, a junior."

Yuan Meng's blood flowed backwards, "Xiao Tingchen, you still go to suppress the bandits because of your banditry, I should be the first to suppress you!"

……

In the small house, Luo Lishang led Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang to the street to buy new year's goods.

Wu Song led two stupid disciples, Gu Yu and Jing Zhe, to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, intending to teach them how to make medicine.

In the small kitchen, Xiao Weihua moaned around Su Jiu.

Su Jiu was making dumplings and looked at him suspiciously.

The young man is very bored, and he refuses to make a sound when encountering any problems.

She thought for a while, and tentatively asked: "Weihua, do you want to write a letter home to Sister Fengxian?"

Xiao Weihua nodded.

He took out two dimes of silver from his sleeve pocket, "My handwriting is ugly, I'm afraid she won't like it. You help me write home letters, and I'll give you the silver."

Su Jiu was amused by him, "It's just a letter from the family, it's too much for money."

She washed her hands, laid out paper and ink, and wrote eight lowercase characters of "Fengxian, my wife, I don't know if you see a letter".

She looked at Xiao Weihua with a smile, "What do you want to write?"

The gloomy-looking groom was standing by the stove, unable to open his mouth.

It's too embarrassing to read what's on your mind to others...

His face was blushing and his voice was like a gnat: "I am fine in Liangzhou, don't worry about it... the year is approaching, you have to take care of yourself. Buy whatever you like, all our money is hidden under the bed, you know of……"

Saying so, he did not forget to glance at Su Jiu.

Su Jiu chattered.

Why did it look like she coveted his family's money...

Xiao Weihua's letter was quite short, Su Jiu brought him an envelope, and was about to pack it for him, when he handed him a silver hairpin.

Liangzhou's unique ancient silver is not as luxurious as Chang'an's silver hairpins, but it has a weather-beaten and heavy feeling.

He bought it with the money he earned from performing arts on the street these days, plus the money he scavenged from his teeth.

Su Jiu snickered.

This unruly and vicious little groom has an unpredictable temper.

But to her elder sister Fengxian, she was treated the best.

There are tens of thousands of couples in the world, and there are countless couples who can hold on to the prosperity, but how many couples can survive the long winter after the prosperity has come to an end?

She packed the letters and gifts for Xiao Weihua, and the young man carefully carried them in his arms, and limped to the post station to post the letters.

Su Jiu continued to make dumplings, halfway through, a pair of warm palms covered her eyes from behind.

She chuckled, "How grown up are you still playing such little tricks, Xiao Tingchen, are you naive?"

"I, in front of my sister, would rather be naive for the rest of my life."

Xiao Tingchen let go, sat down beside Su Jiu, raised his eyebrows and stared at Cai Zong'er, "What kind of stuffing?"

"Bamboo shoots, fresh meat, eggs—hey, why did you eat them? They're still raw!"

Xiao Tingchen scooped up a spoonful of vegetable stuffing and put it into his mouth, smiling, "I can't wait to try my sister's cooking."

Su Jiu wiped the corners of his oily mouth with a handkerchief, "When a certain person was the regent, he once disliked my food, saying that the food made by the royal chef was better than mine... and tore up the food I made by myself. Pajamas..."

Every time she said something, Xiao Tingchen's cheeks turned red.

At that time, when he was young, he got carried away when he first took power.

He thought he had everything, and he did everything he could all day long, torturing Su Xiaojiu until he was in a bad shape.

Thinking about it now...

Those actions were enough for him to regret for a lifetime.

His cheeks were hot, and he drank a cup of herbal tea in silence.

Fortunately, he had a thick skin, and quickly recovered, pointing to the torn sleeves and said: "The clothes are torn, can my sister mend them for me?"

Su Jiu glanced at him.

The man feels wronged like a big dog.

She had no choice but to clean her hands, and took a needle and thread to mend his sleeves.

There was fine snow falling outside the window.

Hot water was boiling in the stove, and the whole small kitchen was warm.

Xiao Tingchen rested his chin in one hand, and put the other in front of Su Jiu.

He lowered his peach blossom eyes, quietly watching the girl mending his sleeves.

Her side face is as white as jade, and a few strands of lacquer hair hang down on her forehead, making her delicate and sweet.

He couldn't help but blew on her little face.

The paint slightly raised.

The girl glared at him full of anger, very immature and cute.

She stared at it, then pursed her cherry lips and continued to mend stitch by stitch, her eyes were extremely serious.

After mending, he also embroidered a small pattern of "number of goldfish tails" on his cuff.

"It's not pretty," Xiao Tingchen disliked, "The little goldfish is too childish, why not embroider me a lion rolling a hydrangea ball."

Su Jiu poked him with a needle, "Counting the number of goldfish means that the hall is full of gold and jade, and the fish leaps over the dragon's gate. How can you be so childish?! You want a lion to roll a hydrangea ball. Do you know how long it takes to embroider such a pattern?"

Xiao Tingchen clutched the back of his hand that hurt from the poke.

He was a little aggrieved, but still tentatively said: "Then... if I succeed in suppressing the bandits, will my sister embroider lions and balls for me?"

Su Jiu thought about it and nodded seriously.

Dawn the next day.

It was still dark, Xiao Tingchen got up lightly, and kissed Su Jiu's soft and warm face.
