The sun set over the lake, and Yan Gui and the other two came back on horseback.
Yan Gui watched Steward Ding supporting the old general as they came over from the lakeside, and couldn't help but take two steps forward: "Where's Wei Yang?"
The old general pointed to the empty fish basket and said, "The girl said that you didn't eat the fish at noon, so she will cook fish for you in the evening."
The three people who were originally in a somewhat depressed mood all relaxed their brows slightly after hearing this.
Today, they were summoned to the palace. His Majesty Emperor Zhao Xu tactfully asked about the marriage of Su Muchen and Su Changle, saying that his mother was worried and urged him. But the three of them knew that Zhao Xu was testing them.
Su Changle directly stated that he did not want to get married before he reached adulthood, and that he wanted to have fun for a few more years.
Su Muchen replied that his ninth aunt was already looking for a partner for him and it would probably be soon.
Afterwards, they were summoned by the Empress Dowager and asked about the Emperor's selection of concubines.
The Empress Dowager favored her natal family, while the Emperor was wary of his mother's family. Yan Gui and Su Changle smiled speechlessly. After all, Zhao Xu was Zhao Hong's son, and the father and son had many similarities.
"Have you decided which girls they will be?"
Wei Yang washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, picked up two fish balls for the old general and then sat down.
Yan Gui scooped a bowl of soup for Wei Yang and looked at Su Changle and his nephew: "There are only a few families in the capital, it depends on whether they are sincere or not. There are a lot of things going on in the capital recently, so we should stay in the countryside for a few more days to settle down."
"Okay." Su Changle thought about it and said, "How about we go to Chuzhou and just go out for fun."
"Chuzhou?" Yan Gui put down his chopsticks with interest: "The manor in Chuzhou has not been built yet. It's not convenient to go there now, right?"
Su Changle said indifferently: "Let's go to Chuzhou City and buy a house and live there first. It will be convenient for us to go anywhere if we have money."
Seeing Su Changle's nonchalant attitude, Wei Yang felt unhappy. Her sixth brother was not like this before. Why did he become so cynical now
"Su Changle." Wei Yang couldn't help but yell, "Don't talk like that, you're like a dandy boy."
Su Changle glanced at her with disdain. If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, he wouldn't want to bother with her. She was just a silly girl who was spoiled by Yan Gui.
"Su Muchen, didn't you say that your ninth aunt found a wife for you? Whose family is she from?" Su Changle suddenly changed the subject and looked at Su Muchen who was standing silently aside.
"Uh." Su Muchen didn't know how the question came to him, and answered honestly: "The girl that Jiugu showed me was from the Dongmen Li family."
"Which Li family? What does her family do?" Su Changle was not someone who could be easily fooled. He always felt that something was strange and kept asking.
"Li Shujuan, the eldest daughter of Chuzhou Weaving Master Li Ronggui."
Su Changle turned to look at the dazed Wei Yang: "How do you know the Li family? The couple has been in Chuzhou, leaving their eldest daughter and eldest son at home to take care of their parents. Usually, the girl from the Li family doesn't come out to walk around. How did you take a fancy to her?"
Wei Yang didn't know any Li Zhizao, let alone Li Shujuan. Su Changle asked her questions and she was speechless. Looking at Su Muchen, he was bowing and rubbing his neck behind his uncle's back. It was obvious that he liked the girl.
Yan Gui curled his lips and asked, "Last time you went to Baoqing Silver Shop to buy jewelry, you came back and said Miss Li, Miss Li, is that Miss Li?"
"Uh." Wei Yang looked at Yan Gui helplessly. When had she ever been to Baoqing Silver Shop
