On July 22nd of the first year of Jingtai, it is a good time to travel, bathe, break ground, and worship Buddha.
This day is also the day when the Su family lights eternal lamps for their deceased relatives, and they had made reservations with the Big Buddha Temple long ago.
Su Junyao cannot go in person
Early in the morning, Changle and Su Muchen rode horses, while Weiyang got on the carriage in the yard and prepared to set off. When they left the yard, Yan Guizheng, dressed in black clothes, was waiting outside the gate on horseback.
Su Changle went over and saluted: "General Yan, you're here so early? I can't receive you today. I have to take my sister and nephew to the Big Buddha Temple."
"It's okay, I'm here to send Wei Yang to the Big Buddha Temple." Yan Gui dismounted and bowed and said loudly.
"No need." Su Changle quickly refused: "The general is busy with official duties. This is the Su family's family affair. How can I let the general be tired with it?"
Yan Gui interrupted him and said, "It doesn't matter. Yan is also considered a half-son of the Su family."
Su Changle was speechless when he saw Yan Gui's humble demeanor. It was Su Muchen beside him who said, "Since my uncle-in-law is here, let's go together."
Yan Gui was overjoyed when he was called uncle-in-law, and a smile immediately spread across his face: "Okay, Muchen, I think your horse is not good. Go back to the general's mansion and your uncle-in-law will pick two Ferghana horses from the Western Regions for you. I also have weapons in my mansion, all kinds of them, if you like..."
As they talked, the two men jumped on their horses and followed Wei Yang's carriage towards the Big Buddha Temple.
Su Muchen is a few years older than Su Changle, so he is naturally much more experienced in dealing with people than Su Changle, who is not even an adult yet.
Su Changle, who was behind, got on the horse indignantly and walked to the other side of Weiyang's carriage without saying a word.
Xiao Cao, who was leaning against the window and looking out, asked Wei Yang curiously, "Miss Jiu, it seems that the Duke doesn't like General Yan very much."
"Xiao Cao, how can you talk like that? Have you forgotten the rules that Madam taught you yesterday?" Kong Gu scolded her hastily. She was too outspoken.
Since entering the Su Mansion, the nanny no longer allowed Wei Yang to be called "Miss". She had to be called "Miss Nine". Konggu and Xiaocao kept repeating this to themselves for an entire night, and they finally changed their ways.
The Empress Dowager even specially sent a maid from the palace to teach the maids in the mansion the rules. In just a few days, Konggu, Xiaocao and Xiaohua were made miserable.
Wei Yang smiled at Xiao Cao who kept silent. She also liked the unbridled and outspoken Xiao Cao. However, the capital city is not like Yanzhou. The maidservants around her represent her face when they go out.
If the maidservant around her is embarrassed, it is also a disgrace to her master.
She spoke slowly and softly, "Sixth Brother doesn't dislike General Yan. On the contrary, Sixth Brother has always admired General Yan. He just couldn't accept the fact that I was going to marry the general in the autumn. It was inevitable that he had some emotions in his heart, and they showed on his face. You see, he made things difficult for the general everywhere, but the general didn't care. He just knew that he understood everything."
"Oh." Xiao Cao nodded: "Girl, I understand."
Wei Yang smiled and stopped talking. Xiao Cao said that she didn't necessarily understand what she understood, but it was enough for her to understand. Sixth Brother felt guilty, distressed, and loved her. He was married before he even reached the age of marriage, which was very hard for him to accept.
But Yan Gui insisted on getting married first, even if he had to exchange it for military merit. Not only Xu'er couldn't refuse, even the eldest sister couldn't refuse.
Besides, everyone in the capital knew that she had been in the Yan family for a year, so it would be better for her to get married early to avoid rumors and make a fuss about this matter.
