On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, General Su Yu Feng, who had been guarding the border, finally returned to the capital. Due to the heavy snow that had just fallen a few days ago, the official road in the suburbs of the capital was covered in pure white snow. From afar, one could see a long black dragon in the vast silver world, winding all the way.
At the Shili Ting relay station in the suburbs of the capital, there were four furnaces placed in a pavilion with thick curtains. At this moment, the fire was blazing, roasting the faces of the people around it with a thin layer of red.
Su Wan was draped in a bright red cloak and quietly sat on the well-prepared velvet blanket. Through the gap between the curtains, she could already see the army gradually approaching from afar.
In the memory of the original owner, Su Yu Feng was a serious general and also a serious father. He rarely smiled and didn't know how to be gentle. In the General fu, what Su Yu Feng did the most every day was to practice martial arts and study the art of war.
This kind of person's life was predetermined to be boring. Moreover, he was a particularly principled person. His bottom line and principles supported him to not make any unforgivable mistakes.
This kind of person was a rare loyal official and also a rare talent. Unfortunately, he couldn't handle his own family affairs well.
Su Rui sat beside Su Wan. His slender eyes were constantly watching the direction of the army's return. Perhaps it was because he had practiced martial arts since childhood, his eyes and ears were sharper than the average person. Su Rui could see from afar the mighty and tall figure wearing a black armor in front of the tens of thousands of troops and horses.
That was his father, Su Yu Feng.
The father and son's line of sight, separated by a long distance, met in mid-air. There was no joy of reunion after a long time. Su Yu Feng's pitch-black eyes carried a trace of sharpness and Su Rui also fearlessly narrowed his eyes at Su Yu Feng provocatively.
Since Su Wan got married four years ago, the relationship between the father and son had fallen to the freezing point. Now that Su Wan had returned to the Su family, it made the relationship between the father and son, which had been silent for four years, become even more incompatible.
Not long after, Su Yu Feng's troops and horses had already advanced to the vicinity of Shili Ting. Su Wan also clearly saw the mighty and austere man facing the north wind.
Su Wan tightened her cloak and slowly walked out of the pavilion. The father and daughter met again after four years.
Su Yu Feng's eyes, which were like an ancient well without ripples, slightly wavered. Although his daughter had a weak body since childhood and could not practice martial arts, Su Yu Feng still doted on his daughter. A father's love was deep and he was a man who was not good with words. So in the past few years, the relationship between Su Yu Feng and Su Wan could only be considered lukewarm.
If it wasn't because of what Su Rui did that year, Su Yu Feng wouldn't have not gone to see Su Wan even once in four years.
"Father, since I've married into Yue Wangfu, I'm a member of Yue Wangfu for the rest of my life. In the future, I won't be able to fulfill my filial duties under Father. Please forgive me, Father!"
Su Yu Feng's mind still clearly remembered the words that Su Wan said on the day of her marriage four years ago. That was the first time she revealed that serious and earnest expression in front of him.
At that time, Su Yu Feng still felt at ease. His daughter finally grew up and had someone she could entrust her life to. Although Su Rui was a bit of a scoundrel, from then on, not seeing each other was perhaps the best ending for them.
Four years of time could not be said to be long, nor could it be said to be short. Unfortunately, everything had already changed. Things remain the same, but people have changed … …
"Father … …"
Su Wan and Su Yu Feng looked at each other. After a long time, she finally took a step forward and trembled as she opened her mouth.
Su Yu Feng was about to answer when his gaze suddenly turned cold. Su Rui unhurriedly walked behind Su Wan and especially intimately tightened the cloak on her body. As if there was no one else present, he raised his arms and encircled her in his embrace: "Jiejie, the wind is strong here. You have to be careful of your body."
Although these were gentle and pleasant words, in Su Yu Feng's view, Su Rui was blatantly provoking him!
This animal!
"Su Rui!"
Su Yu Feng suddenly pulled out the long spear in his hand and swung it high up in the air.
Su Rui seemed to have long been prepared. He spun around while carrying Su Wan and took the opportunity to buckle Su Wan's head into his embrace. Su Rui narrowed his eyes and helplessly looked at his father: "Father, I know that your martial arts are superb, but if you can't hold back and accidentally injure jiejie, I will … … feel heartache!"
This unfilial son!
Su Yu Feng only felt that a mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat. He didn't understand how the three generations of Su family could give birth to Su Rui, this disobedient little animal!
Seeing that Su Yu Feng was about to flip out, Su Wan weakly raised her head from Su Rui's embrace and unnoticeably shook her head at Su Yu Feng: "Father, I'm fine."
Seeing that his daughter was so weak yet enduring, Su Yu Feng's heart tightened. He suddenly realized that he really wasn't a good father.
Sighing deeply at the bottom of his heart, Su Yu Feng then raised his hand and commanded the army to continue advancing: "Return to the capital! Su Rui, take good care of your jiejie! If anything happens to her, you will be the one to blame! "
"Ah."
Su Rui only hooked his lips in disdain. The moment he lowered his head, he revealed an incomparably gentle expression towards Su Wan: "Jiejie, I'll bring you back."
"En."
Su Wan seemed to accept her fate and didn't struggle. She quietly allowed Su Rui to manipulate her.
Returning to the capital, the army received a warm welcome from the common people. At this time, the entrance of the Su fu was also crowded like a marketplace, very lively … …
The first thing Su Yu Feng did when he returned to the capital was naturally to immediately enter the palace to have an audience with His Majesty. No one knew what Grand General Su and His Majesty discussed, but General Su fu actually sent a reply to all the people who had previously sent an invitation card. The invitation card indicated the time and invited everyone to attend a banquet at the Su fu on the second day.
Although the purpose of this banquet was not written in the reply card, everyone was well aware that Grand General Su and His Majesty must have reached some kind of agreement and the crux of this agreement was Su Wan's marriage.
In this matter, the Imperial family was in the wrong. Now, letting General Su fu make their own choice was also an understandable matter.
Xuan Yuan Rui didn't expect that he would also receive a reply card. He thought that Su Yu Feng couldn't wait to peel off his skin and tear apart his bones! But in the blink of an eye, thinking of Su Wan's infatuation with him, Xuan Yuan Rui also calmed down. Perhaps this was also Su Wan's idea.
Once he thought of the woman who was pursued by everyone, wholeheartedly thinking of himself, Xuan Yuan Rui felt incomparably satisfied and vain. Thinking of Su Wan's current bright and beautiful appearance, Xuan Yuan Rui felt that his heart seemed to be moved by her again … …
On the day of the banquet, the sky was not completely dark yet Su fu's main entrance was already filled with sedan chairs and horse carriages. Groups of high ranking officials and dignitaries all wore splendid attire to attend.
Compared to the liveliness of the front hall, the backyard where Su Wan lived was very peaceful. She bathed and changed her clothes under the service of Lu Zhu, her whole person did not seem to be nervous at all.
Lu Zhu looked at Su Wan's indifferent face in the mirror and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Junzhu, must you dance tonight?"
"En."
Su Wan faintly nodded her head. She had once been a dancer in a certain world for a lifetime. Regarding dancing, this matter was simply a piece of cake. Of course, tonight's dance was not because she was carried out on a whim, nor was it because she wanted to prove how charming she was.
Su Wan did not believe in feelings. Regarding those stories of falling in love with a dance and love at first sight, Su Wan had always scoffed at them.
Falling in love with a dance? Falling in love with a figure.
Love at first sight? Falling in love with a face.
She did this tonight just to pass on a signal in front of everyone, to pass on a thought … …
Following the arrival of the guests, Su fu's banquet also officially began. But what everyone did not expect was that the person sitting on the main seat was only Su Yu Feng. Su Rui quietly sat on the seat below Su Yu Feng and the seat beside Su Yu Feng was empty.
What about the Little Junzhu?
Could it be that her body was not feeling well again?
None of the guests present were whispering, but everyone's gazes carried probing and doubt.
At this time, Su Yu Feng suddenly clapped his hands and a group of stunning dancers wearing long white dresses gracefully poured in. Following the melodious music, the group of dancers danced gracefully and gracefully. Their posture was enchanting.
The people present were all members of the royal family and were used to this kind of scene. But in order to leave a good impression on General Su, everyone pretended to be fascinated by the dance. Only Physician Si sat alone in his seat, his heart constantly thinking about Su Wan's matter.
Could it be that she was feeling unwell again?
Impossible ah! He clearly gave her a diagnosis, her body already had no major problems ah!
Just as Physician Si's imagination was running wild, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from the hall.
Physician Si curiously raised his eyes and saw the captivating red in the snow-white.
Su Wan was still wearing a fiery red dress, setting off her even paler complexion. She gracefully danced in the most central position, a silver bell on one of her wrists. As her arm swayed, it echoed crisply. And in her other hand, she held a small and exquisite wine cup. The cup was filled with wine, but when she was dancing, not a single drop of the wine spilled out.
So powerful!
Everyone was somewhat surprised. They did not expect that the always sickly and weak Little Junzhu was actually a dance master!
Xuan Yuan Rui, who was sitting in his seat, also kept staring at Su Wan. He felt as if he did not understand Su Wan at all. Those years of the past flashed through his mind. Looking at the Su Wan in front of him now, a strange feeling spontaneously arose from the bottom of Xuan Yuan Rui's heart.
Just as the dance ended, everyone felt that Su Wan had completed her performance. When everyone was planning to enthusiastically applaud, they saw Su Wan gracefully somersaulting and her whole person unexpectedly arrived in front of a certain seat in the banquet hall without a trace. At this moment, the musical instrument stopped and the group of dancers retreated in order. Su Wan, however, was full of smiles as she held the wine cup in both her hands. She handed the wine cup that she had been holding to the front of a man —
"I salute you!"
