While the two were chatting, the housekeeper of the Su Mansion followed Su Fengnuan's instructions and brought things to the Rong An Palace in the name of Mrs. Su.
Qian Han didn't tell Ye Chang, so he took it directly. Then, he thanked the housekeeper of Su Mansion, and ordered someone to carry the things to Ye Chang's yard.
There are two full iron boxes, because the box is huge, when you enter the door, you can barely get in if you tilt it.
After Qian Han put down the iron box, he led the people out and closed the door again.
Ye Chang looked at the two big iron boxes on the ground, and laughed for a while, "It's full of all the kitty toys you collected? There are so many?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Yes, after more than two years, there are so many?"
Ye Chang stood up, walked around the big iron box slowly, smiled deeply at Su Fengnuan, and said in a gentle voice, "Now that I have seen these two big boxes, I believe you can say That's it."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Su Fengnuan didn't turn bored for a moment.
Ye Chang said, "You also miss my words."
Su Fengnuan laughed. In the past, every year, when she came across any good things, she would send someone to send them to the capital as soon as possible. Even if she didn't come, the things would arrive. In addition to his birthday gift, people who send things back and forth have to make several trips every year. Later, more than two years ago, he gave her a mandarin duck lantern as a token of his affection. She couldn't stand it for a while, so she fled the capital. Although she wanted him to stop her, she still couldn't bear to get along with her all these years. affection.
Now it is even more difficult to part with each other, what an enemy!
Seeing him smiling happily, she also stood up, came to two big iron boxes, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to open the iron boxes. The inside is full of things, and there is no room for any extra space in the box.
Ye Chang also squatted down, stretched out his hand to pick up one object, played with it, picked up another object, looked at it, and picked a few at random. Finally, he tilted his head and smiled at Su Fengnuan, "These things, They come from the east, west, north, and south, and they are all made by famous masters. Where did you get them? Did you go to so many places during the two years when you didn’t come to Beijing?”
"Yeah, I've traveled to many places, and I've traveled all over the world." Su Fengnuan said, "Sometimes I'll visit two towns in one day."
Ye Chang looked at her and asked for the first time, "Explore private mines, sell private salt, and make a living that violated the law. Have you stopped in these two years?"
Su Fengnuan looked at him, "I thought you wouldn't ask me, but now you are." After saying that, he smiled and said, "At least enough for you to squander three lifetimes, don't give up and wait to be grabbed Come out and behead? Naturally, they all stopped."
Ye Chang put down the things in his hands, stretched out his arms to hug her, and said with a light smile, "I can't count how many things you have done for me in this life. I have nothing wrong with it except this face. You gave it. I will use this face as the capital, and ask the girl to agree with her body. Although Israel's servants can't last long, I feel that there is no second in the world for my unparalleled appearance. I am used to it. You don't want to look at other people without me, so it's not a lie."
Su Fengnuan laughed when he heard this.
On this day, there was another day of sporadic light rain.
Su Fengnuan accompanied Ye Chang to play with those odd things in his room for a whole day.
It is said that the Empress Dowager called Xu Yunchu into the palace early in the morning, and talked to him for an hour. Princess Shuya heard some rumors, and in the afternoon, she went to the Su Mansion aggressively, looking for Su Fengnuan, Mrs. Su saw that Princess Shuya was not kind, so she kindly said that Su Fengnuan was copying books behind closed doors in the palace.
Princess Shuya rushed to the palace again. After the housekeeper of the palace informed Wang Lu, he blocked her from the door, saying that the master said that the young lady will close the door to think about her mistakes in the near future, and no one will see her except the emperor and the queen mother.
Shuya was furious, but Wang Lu was an important minister in the court, she didn't dare to make trouble in the palace, so she went back to the palace angrily.
It is said that besides Princess Shuya, Lin Kelan, the fifth young lady of the Lin family, also sent a message to the Su Mansion, saying that she would like to thank Su Fengnuan for saving her life. .
If there are rumors in the capital, it cannot be concealed from Rong'an Palace, Qian Han reported these things to Ye Chang.
Ye Chang snorted, and said to Su Fengnuan, "What messed up people do you want to provoke and save?"
Su Fengnuan briefly told him that Princess Shuya liked Xu Yunchu, and she had troubled her twice and three times. She clearly expressed her opinion, but she still stared at her blindly. It was related to Xu Yunchu. Madwomen are no different. He also said that he saved Lin Kelan, it was indeed a coincidence at that time, if he could save her life, he would have saved it.
After hearing this, Xu Yunchu narrowed his eyes and said, "Yesterday Xu Yunchu ran into you in front of the emperor, and later went to the Su residence with you. Afterwards, his aunt left him for half a day as a guest at the Su residence to thank him. Early this morning, he was summoned by the queen mother. After entering the palace, the Empress Dowager must not be able to sit still because of this, but don't give up the thoughts again."
"I made it clear that Xu Yunchu should not have any thoughts. If he has no thoughts, the Queen Mother tells him to go, and he may not have any thoughts." Su Fengnuan said, sighing, "After so many years, There are only a few peach blossoms in total, and they all rushed to me in front of me."
Ye Chang glanced at her, and snorted softly, "For the sake of your self-consciousness, I forgive you."
Su Fengnuan coughed and was speechless for a while.
On the second day, the sky cleared up, and early in the morning, word spread in Beijing that the Empress Dowager had released a message that the Hundred Flowers Banquet would be held in the Hundred Flowers Garden nine days later.
This news, for the capital city that has been suppressed for several months, is a bit of good news. All the young men and women in Beijing were extremely excited, and the wives of the mansions rushed to help their families Unmarried sons and daughters get ready, clothes and jewelry should be packed, and all the clothes shops, makeup shops, and jewelry shops in Beijing are full of customers.
Su Fengnuan said to Ye Chang with a smile, "The queen mother said, you can walk around during the Hundred Flowers Banquet. You didn't go to participate in the past years. This year, you have been bored in the mansion for several days while recuperating. Maybe you are interested."
Ye Chang said, "I'm not interested."
Su Fengnuan looked at him and said, "You are not interested, but I am."
Ye Chang snorted softly, "I didn't know you were a person who used to love flowers and plants."
Su Fengnuan was speechless for a moment. Although she didn't cherish flowers and plants, she still wanted to join in the excitement of men and women dating in disguise, after all, she had never seen it before. She said, "It is said that every year the Empress Dowager's Hundred Flowers Banquet is held with great grandeur, and several marriages can be consummated."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "Are you still thinking that we won't get married at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"
Su Fengnuan laughed, "I didn't think about that." After she finished speaking, she drew a long voice, "After all, my father said that my marriage is not in a hurry."
Ye Chang snorted again, and said, "I've already written to General Su, he's not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry."
Su Fengnuan glanced at him in surprise, and sent a letter to the border? He is also really good, she said, "The letters from the border to and from the capital, except for the urgent 800 li, will take a few months to come and go."
"If General Su didn't delay after receiving the letter, it wouldn't be so slow." Ye Chang said.
Su Fengnuan was funny, "I don't think there's any need to be in such a hurry, it's just sooner or later. After all, our relationship has been like this for so many years, so we're not in a hurry to change it right now?"
Ye Chang said, "Once the marriage is decided and the identity is changed, the messy people will stop pestering you. There is no rush, but it will save you worry and effort if you decide earlier."
Su Fengnuan thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
On the third day, Su Fengnuan was accompanying Ye Chang to bask in the sun on the rattan chair under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, when the housekeeper came to report that Ye Xi had received that Patriarch Ye had come to Beijing. Now that he has passed the city gate, he is about to arrive at Prince Rong'an's mansion.
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows and said, "Understood." After saying that, he told Qian Han, "Go to the door and wait for someone to pick you up. If Grandpa arrives, please invite him here."
Qian Han answered yes and went immediately.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi have been to Ye's house twice during these years as senior brothers and sisters, so she is no stranger to Patriarch Ye. She thought about his coming, but still did not avoid it. But only the people in Ye Chang's yard knew about her hiding in Rong An's mansion with Ye Chang, and it was hard for her to show up at the door to greet her, so she and Ye Chang waited for people to arrive.
After two cups of tea, Qian Han accompanied Ye Xi and Patriarch Ye into the Rong An Palace, and came to Ye Chang's courtyard.
Patriarch Ye has white hair and a black robe. Although Jiazi has passed, he looks very energetic and strode into the door. Ye Xi followed Patriarch Ye half a step behind, with a smile on his face, much more leisurely than Patriarch Ye.
Ye Chang took the book away from his face and turned slightly to look at it.
Su Fengnuan took a look at Ye Chang, stood up, walked forward, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Ye, it's been a hard journey to Beijing, right?"
Patriarch Ye suddenly saw Su Fengnuan. She was wearing a pink brocade embroidered soft smoke skirt. The long skirt trailed the floor. When she came out from behind the osmanthus tree, she looked dignified and elegant. He didn't recognize her for a while, and was really stunned Stopped, stopped, and asked, "Are you..."
Ye Xi chuckled behind him, "Grandpa, she is my junior sister, warm girl."
Patriarch Ye looked at Su Fengnuan's face at this time, and suddenly realized, "So it's Nuan girl! The old man really didn't recognize you for a while." After speaking, he smiled, "Back to the capital, after all, it's different It's gone, the wild girl's quack spirit is gone."
Su Fengnuan was funny, "My grandfather said that a daughter's house should look like a daughter's house. These long-winded clothes are really cumbersome, but if you don't wear them, he will scold me every time he sees me. I can only wear them. Well, at least I can avoid his training when I see him."
Patriarch Ye laughed out loud.
