No one dared to help Li Shiyan leave the house since the Marquis of Kangding issued the order, for fear of being punished like Xiaoluzi.
So for the past few days, Li Shiyan stayed in the yard and couldn't go anywhere. Xiaoluzi was transferred to the kitchen to work. He didn't even have anyone to talk to, and he managed to survive for three days.
Early in the morning, the Marquis of Kangding ordered someone to bring a new set of clothes over, and the person said, "Sir, you will be going to Zhu Shangshu's residence later. The Marquis asked you to dress decently. These clothes were made in a hurry these days. Yes, put it on."
He glanced at it, stretched out his fingers and hooked the neckline of the dress, and then shook it a few times. The fabric and style were really good, but at first glance it was worn by a scholar, and he threw it away with disgust.
"Don't wear it!"
"Don't make Lord Hou unhappy, let's put it on."
"My own clothes are so good, why are they not decent?"
"Prince, after all, today I'm going to Zhu Shangshu's mansion, and I always have to get dressed up. Just be obedient and change your clothes quickly. The carriage is already waiting outside, and I can't wait for the Hou Ye. It's a good deal."
"I knew that I would use my father to crush me!" Li Shiyan glanced at the young servant in front of him, his eyes widening.
but-
If you don't wear it, maybe the old man will talk all the way again later. He really doesn't want to listen to a bunch of words anymore, so, in order to keep his ears clean, he has to change it, and then leave the house and get on the carriage. .
And along the way, Hou Ye repeatedly explained the things that should be paid attention to later.
From time to time, he stretched his head out to take a look, his mind was not on it at all.
"Did you hear what you just said?" Hou Ye asked.
"I hear it!"
"If you dare to make trouble or talk nonsense later, I can't get around you."
"I know, I know!"
Hou Ye looked at him in disbelief, but he said everything he needed to say.
On the other hand, Li Shiyan suddenly asked seriously, "By the way, Dad, haven't you been busy recently?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"I was thinking... that King Jing'an's body is about to be transported to Yanjing. It stands to reason that the court should be very busy, but you are free, and you are holding me on a blind date!"
Hou Ye's face became solemn: "This big event is not as important as your marriage event."
The corner of Li Shiyan's mouth twitched twice, and he didn't say anything anymore.
He was being watched closely by a tiger. I'm afraid he won't have a good life until the day of marriage.
At the entrance of Zhu Mansion, Zhu Shangshu and his family were all waiting at the entrance.
Zhu Shangshu also reminded his wife a few words: "You can't say what you said a few days ago."
"I know." Mrs. Zhu was also someone who knew the whole thing.
Zhu Yao, who was on the side, was extremely uneasy, and stared into the distance nervously.
She is finally here!
When she saw the horse carriage of Hou Mansion approaching, her heart was pounding, and her fingers tightening the handkerchief couldn't help but tighten.
The carriage stopped at the door, and the Marquis of Kangding got off the carriage, followed by Li Shiyan.
When Zhu Yao looked at him, she was nervous and happy, her heart seemed to jump to her throat, her whole body was tense, and she didn't know what to say.
"Master Hou." Zhu Shangshu greeted him with a smile and cupped his hands.
"Zhu Shangshu." The Marquis of Kangding glanced at Li Shiyan, "Don't say hello yet?"
Li Shiyan is a very smooth person. He has been with his father for many years, and he naturally knows the etiquette, so he shows a good-looking appearance, and quickly bows, saying: "Uncle Zhu, Shiyan will make you a sin first. , I really had something to do a few days ago, so I didn't go back to the house, and I made you wait for a long time. The words are really inappropriate, so today, I came here to apologize, and please forgive me."
Whoops!
The Marquis of Kangding on the side was really dumbfounded. He knew that his son could speak, but he didn't expect to speak like this.
Therefore, Kangding Hou's heart was finally let go!
Zhu Shangshu didn't expect Li Shiyan to say this. He was dressed in Confucian clothes, and with the tone of his words, he was undoubtedly an elegant scholar!
Even Mrs. Zhu was stunned!
She thought that Li Shiyan was an ignorant and ignorant son, but she didn't want to be so gentle. Thinking of what she said a few days ago, she felt a little guilty.
Zhu Shangshu said: "Where is the prince, if you go to General Su to study, it is a rare and good opportunity. What's the sin."
"Since Uncle can be considerate, Shi Yan can be relieved."
Zhu Shangshu smiled, turned to look at his daughter, and called out, "Yao'er."
Zhu Yao's heart tightened, and many eyes turned to him.
She lowered her gaze a few inches involuntarily and stepped forward to salute: "I saw the Marquis, I saw... the prince."
The sound is soft and very nice.
Li Shiyan looked at her a few more times, this person is the daughter of Shangshu he wants to marry
The appearance is indeed watery, clean, gentle and generous.
only-
He saw many such women, and he caught a lot of them in Yanjing City!
So, I don't think it's bright.
It's that girl Ji...
His thoughts drifted away again, and he quickly pulled back, bowed politely to Zhu Yao, and said, "Hello, Miss Zhu, I'm going to Li Shiyan."
Zhu Yao had a thousand words in her heart, but at this time, she couldn't say a word. She could only lower her head a little bit to hide the shyness on her face.
The two young people stood together, and they were very talented and beautiful.
This made Zhu Shangshu and Kang Dinghou very happy, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, knowing what they were thinking.
"Come here, come in and sit." Zhu Shangshu said.
The people entered the palace.
Zhu Yao walked slower and walked behind. She looked at Li Shiyan's back and felt a little disappointed in her heart.
"Miss, what do you think?" the girl next to Cai'er asked.
She whispered: "You said, did he forget me?"
"Why do you ask that, miss?"
"Two years ago, he rescued me from the river, why doesn't he know me?"
"Perhaps after so long, the prince forgot. When he finds an opportunity, thank him in person, Miss. Presumably, he will remember it." Cai'er comforted.
She nodded: "That's the only way, by the way, when you go and fetch the prince's clothes, I will return them to him."
"Yes."
The clothes were covered on her when Li Shiyan rescued her from the water years ago. She didn't tell Zhu Shangshu about her falling into the water, so as not to worry about her family, and she washed the clothes with her own hands. , I kept it by my side all the time, just to wait for a chance to return it to Li Shiyan, but I didn't expect that this opportunity would last for two years!
