Chapter 244: Xiaolu Eavesdropping!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old Wu was arrogant and cold. He did things completely based on his mood.
Gui You, on the other hand, was a swordsman. He was equally cold and aloof.
How they became good friends must be interesting.
“How I envy them.”
Zhou Heng smiled and sighed softly.
Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng. “Little Brother Heng has something on his mind.”
Zhou Heng smiled and said, “No, I was just inspired.”
Su Hua smiled and said, “If you have anything on your mind and feel uncomfortable, you can tell Big Brother and me. We are all Little Brother Heng’s relatives.”
Zhou Heng had something on his mind. They could tell from the beginning of the new year.
He hid it well and fooled his parents and big brother, but not him. He could feel it.
Su Hua did not point it out because he felt that everyone had something on their minds.
However, they were all different. Zhou Heng had them, he had them, Su Chong had them, and so did his parents and sister.
It was normal for people to have things on their minds when they knew what they were doing.
If he didn’t want to talk about it, then he wouldn’t.
If he wanted to say it, everyone in the family can be a quiet listener.
In this family, everyone treated Zhou Heng as family. They also knew that he did not belong to this family, but as long as he was here, he was family.
Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng. He knew that Zhou Heng was very smart. He would definitely understand what he was trying to say.
“Yes, I know. I need more time. I’ll talk when I’ve thought this through.”
Zhou Heng smiled. He didn’t know how to say what was on his mind, so he didn’t want to.
Su Hua was smart, He had long noticed it. If he wanted to talk, Su Hua could be the best listener.
Zhou Heng understood what Su Hua wanted to express, but he really did not know how to say it now. He did not want to lose them so quickly.
He would wait a little longer.
Su Hua smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
The two tacitly ended the topic and continued watching Su Xiaolu and Su Chong exchange moves.
That’s the way it is with people who are smart. They knew what was enough.
Su Chong was like Su Xiaolu’s other master. He frequently broke Su Xiaolu’s killing moves and then told her the flaws to improve.
Su Xiaolu followed suit and attacked fiercely.
At her brother’s current level, he was an expert.
The guidance and training of an expert was so rare.
Big Brother could take any move from her. After the fight, it was very comfortable.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao set the table when the food was ready. Su Xiaoling came over to call them to eat.
Su Chong and Su Xiaolu immediately put away their swords. Su Xiaolu blushed and kept her sword. She cupped her hands at Su Chong and said, “Thank you for your guidance.”
Su Chong smiled. “You’ve improved again.”
In the main room, Old Wu’s carefree laughter sounded. “Haha, I won. I won.”
Gui You’s voice was calm. “Then congratulations. After all, you’ve raised elephants that can cross rivers, cannons that can bend corners, and horses that can run fast.”
Old Wu looked up. “What’s wrong with that? I gave my subordinates divine medicine. They’re naturally extraordinary.”
They came out together.
Old Wu was in high spirits, and it was obvious that he was very happy.
Gui You’s expression was bland, his smile very faint.
Everyone went over to eat.
The dishes on the table were delicious.
Both Gui You and Old Wu liked wine, and Su Sanlang had brought good wine.
At the table, everyone said very little. They just enjoyed the taste of food.
Old Wu stayed for five days. He left on the seventh of February.
The days went back to normal.
Su Xiaolu resumed her days of practicing swordsmanship.
In the blink of an eye, it was June.
It was a hot June. Su Xiaoling made refreshing sour plum soup every day.
Every time Su Xiaolu finished practicing her swordsmanship, she would drink a big bowl.
She was going out today. She would rest after practicing.
It was rare to sit down in the courtyard.
When Madam Qian arrived, she was smiling. She greeted Su Xiaolu. “Xiaolu, resting?”
”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Auntie, sit down and have a bowl of sour plum soup. It can relieve the heat.”
Madam Qian waved her hand and said, “I’m not drinking. I didn’t do any tiring work. It’s still cool. I’m looking for your mother to talk about something. Don’t worry about me. You’re tired from practicing martial arts. Don’t drink too quickly. Rest a little. Drink again after a while.”
Seeing Su Xiaolu’s flushed face, Madam Qian said with concern.
Sour plum soup was cooled in the well. Su Xiaolu had been practicing martial arts and her body was hot. It was not good to drink cold things in a hurry.
Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Auntie. I know.”
Madam Zhao was sewing clothes in the house. When she heard the voice, she said, “Sister-in-law, come in quickly.”
Madam Qian smiled at Su Xiaolu and said, “I’ll get going.”
Madam Qian had a smile on her face. It was obvious that she had something good to tell Madam Zhao.
Su Xiaolu didn’t care much, but Madam Qian spoke quite loudly.
She heard Madam Qian happily say, “Sister-in-law, please take a look at this.”
Madam Zhao said, “Keep your voice down,” and closed the door with Madam Qian.
Su Xiaolu was puzzled. What was it?
Why did they have to close the door?
The more Su Xiaolu thought about it, the more curious she became. She was a martial artist, so it was not difficult for her to eavesdrop.
Hence, she immediately sat cross-legged and focused her attention. It was as if she had clairaudient ears.
Inside the house.
Madam Zhao held Madam Qian’s hand and walked to the bed. She said softly, “Sister-in-law, you said that you wanted me to take a look just now, is there news of Daniu’s marriage?”
Madam Qian’s face was full of smiles as she nodded and said, “Yes, the matchmaker sent a message. She said that the other party is a scholar with delicate features. She said that she had specially visited them many times for our family and set a date for the two children to meet. It’s on the 20th of July. If he takes a fancy to our eldest daughter, he’ll set it.”
Speaking of this, Madam Qian was very happy. Scholars were always better than ordinary people.
If he studied well, her daughter might be able to become a Madam Scholar.
Therefore, Madam Qian attached great importance to this matter. As soon as the matchmaker came, she couldn’t wait to tell Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Then this is really good news. We have to prepare well.”
“Sister-in-law, tell me, what kind of clothes should Daniu wear?”
Madam Qian was worried. Chen Daniu’s appearance was only ordinary, so she was worried that others would look down on her.
A scholar naturally had high standards.
Such a good marriage, Madam Qian really wanted to secure it for her daughter.
Because if they missed it, they might never meet again.
Everyone said that all things were inferior. Only those who were highly educated were superior since ancient times. The person the matchmaker had found was really too rare.
Madam Zhao patted the back of Madam Qian’s hand and comforted her. “Sister-in-law, there’s no hurry. Since they’re going to meet each other, the other party should more or less know about your family’s situation. Let’s treat it sincerely. Make two sets of good clothes for Daniu and give her a few hairpins.”
She definitely had to dress up. As long as it was appropriate.
Madam Qian’s anxiety eased a little. She said, “Sister-in-law is right. Let’s treat it sincerely.”
