Chapter 29
Because I was tired all day yesterday and drank wine, Su Haoyi slept until almost noon before waking up.
The entire Chuyao Pavilion was quiet and people had basically not yet gotten up.
Su Haoyi got up and washed up, and found that the fan was left behind, but he didn't take it seriously.
I ate a bite in the room and saw a plate of lychees from Lingnan on the table. I remembered the last time I went to Qiyuan with Jixing to steal lychees. I haven't seen this guy come for a long time, and most of them were locked up at home and forced to study.
When Su Haoyi woke up and had nothing to do, she felt a little bored, so she decided to go out for a walk.
Because it was sunny, she wore a straw hat.
After walking two streets, I arrived near Jinfeng Gate. Because the weather was so hot, I happened to see a herbal tea stall on the side of the road. Su Haoyi walked over and sat down and ordered a cup of herbal tea.
It was already noon at this time, and there were no pedestrians on the road. The mother and daughter were selling herbal tea, because the girl always secretly looked at Su Haoyi and was sent home by her mother.
Su Haoyi drank two bowls of herbal tea, wore a hat, and prepared to pay and leave.
Just as he was about to reach out to get his purse, he rushed in from outside the city gate and rode one by one. Because the horse ran very quickly, he scared a passing lame beggar and sat down on the road. The rider suddenly tied the reins of the horse, and the two front hooves of the horse almost stepped on the beggar.
The man riding a horse was a 14 or 15-year-old young man. He looked pretty good, but he looked arrogant and pointed at the beggar and scolded: "You stinky beggar! I almost fell off the horse's back! I didn't step on you and pretended to be dead?! Why don't you get out of here!"
The beggar had a leg stunt, fell down, and was frightened again. His legs were so weak that he struggled for a long time but didn't move far.
At this time, another horse riding man came from behind, a few years older than the boy. They should be two brothers, depending on their appearance.
Later, the body was weak, with a white face and a light lips, and seemed to have a congenital deficiencies. He said to the previous boy with a cold face: "Chengxun, why are you talking to a beggar? Just give him some money to send him away."
The young man who called Chengxun curled his lips and said, "I didn't step on him, he fell down by himself. Why should I give him money?"
As the brothers spoke, they got on several cars. When they saw this, they saw an official family coming to Beijing from another place.
The curtain of the car at the front was lifted up. It was a middle-aged woman wearing silk and satin, but the pattern was still the clothes that were popular in the capital a few years ago.
"Chengze, Chengxun, now he has entered the capital, so he is not allowed to make trouble. Give him some money and send him away, and he is all about accumulating virtue."
The woman gave birth to a cold face. Her appearance was average, and her two golden cutters added a bit of meanness to her face, but her voice was very gentle.
Another middle-aged man heard the voice of a middle-aged man saying in the car: "Brother Daoyuan and I made an appointment to meet here, so don't let this beggar get in the way."
So the servants of this family stepped forward and took the beggar aside.
The family got out of the car one after another and prepared to wait for people in the tea shed.
Su Haoyi was bored and looked at the family coldly.
In addition to the two young masters and middle-aged women, a middle-aged man got out of the car. He looked very decent and obviously the male owner of this family.
A girl of similar age to Su Haoyi got out of the car behind, and then she helped a fat old woman in her sixties and seventies out of the car.
Although the old woman was old, she had a bad face. In such a hot day, she was wearing a silk silk skirt with three inlaid and three rolls, and a string of Bodhi beads were tied to her collar.
She panted heavily, but was very sensible and refused to leave quickly. She had to ask two maids to support her left and right. She moved for a long time before entering the tea shed.
In addition, a woman with a big belly followed behind her, lowered her eyebrows and looked at her clothes, and she should be the aunt of this family.
As soon as these people came in, the teahouse suddenly became cramped, and Su Haoyi planned to get up and leave.
Just then, someone rode over and walked up to him and asked, "Do you dare to ask if Mr. Fu Yufu's family in Yuzhou?"
The middle-aged man immediately smiled and replied, "It's just that, are you the butler of Lord Zong's mansion?"
Su Haoyi listened to the conversation between them and stopped leaving, and sat in his seat before him and looked coldly.
The housekeeper of the Zong Mansion smiled and said, "Our master went to the ministry today and could not come to greet Lord Fu in person. I hope he would forgive me. Let the villain do everything first!"
Fu Yu hurriedly said, "This is really a frustration. Brother Daoyuan is busy with official business. How could he delay the serious business because of this little thing? Besides, we have caused him a lot of trouble."
"The weather is really hot now, so you can drink a cup of herbal tea before leaving." The housekeeper of the Zongfu smiled and said, "I have already rented a house for your mansion in Fangfei Lane, Yugu Street, and the younger one will lead the way in front of you later."
The Fu family naturally became polite again, and asked the butler of Zong Mansion to come to sit in the shed and ordered a few bowls of herbal tea.
Fu Yu's wife reminded her children: "Chengze, Mingyue, you two should not be greedy for cold weather, just take a few sips."
Her daughter Fu Mingyue was born tall and thin, wearing a light green dress, and her facial features looked pretty good, but they were not good when put together, so she couldn't tell what was unnecessary, just felt awkward.
Su Haoyi pressed the hat very low, and the Fu family couldn't see her appearance.
The old lady of the Fu family thought she was in the way and gave her a few glances. Su Haoyi seemed to have not seen her.
After a while, the people rested and prepared to leave.
The coachman pulled the horse over and waited for the masters to get on the car.
Su Haoyi said in a low voice: "Mr. Fu, your fan has fallen."
Fu Yu turned around and took it, and said thank you by the way.
Su Haoyi asked while handing the fan: "I wonder if my ancestral home is Jiangya County, Yuzhou?"
"How do you know?" Fu Yu was a little surprised. His ancestral home was indeed here, but how did this person know so much?
Su Haoyi asked again: "Is Mrs. Zun's surname Su?"
"No, my wife's surname is Zhong." Fu Yu replied, with a deeper look of confusion on her face.
"Oh, that's what I'm accusing the wrong person." Su smiled kindly and stopped talking.
"You..." Fu Yu wanted to ask something, Zhong was already urging him.
Su Haoyi took a few big steps back and pulled a distance with Fu Yu. Fu Yu couldn't chase her and asked, so he had to go back to his body and go to the car.
From beginning to end, he didn't see Su's good intentions clearly.
However, Su Haoyi's face, whose face was hidden under the hat, was already frosty, and he was unprecedentedly cold.
