Outside, when Su Yan got off the car outside Anjing Bo's Mansion, she happened to see Su Xi walking up the steps with a skirt in one hand.
Looking at the back of Su Xi walking, Su Yan noticed that Su Xi was in a strange state. She was being supported by the servant girl all the time, most of her weight was on the servant girl's body, and her legs looked a little limp.
Su Yan frowned and took a second look, but she hadn't been through any personnel affairs. Although she felt strange, she didn't see what was so strange. She just kept the surprise in her heart, and got out of the carriage with Cai Xia's support.
Zhong Ning also jumped out of the carriage, she had always disliked Su Xi, and reluctantly followed Su Yan up the steps.
Su Xi walked a few steps before seeing Su Yan get off the carriage under the reminder of the servant girl. Immediately enduring the soreness of her legs, she turned and stood on the steps and looked at Su Yan with a smile on her lips: "Look at the direction, fifth sister is also going to the gate of the city gone?"
Su Xi directly skipped over Zhong Ning. From Su Xi's point of view, Zhong Ning is just someone who eats and drinks in Uncle Anjing's mansion, and there is no need to make friends.
"Yeah." Su Yan nodded slightly, and walked up the steps with her skirt in her hand, her eyes glanced over Su Xi inadvertently.
Su Xi was wearing a peach-pink thin jacket, with yellow flowers pasted between her eyebrows, and her makeup was exquisite, as if she had been dressed up with care.
It has to be said that Su Xi looks like the third lady, her attire is very eye-catching, and she is also top-notch among the ladies in the capital, no wonder that Mr. Shen just fell in love with her who is not of high status.
Zhong Ning pouted behind Su Yan.
Su Yan asked with a smile, "Why didn't I see Third Sister just now?"
Hearing Su Yan's question, the expression on Su Xi's face was a little evasive: "There are so many people, it's normal if you don't see them."
Walking into the gate, the maid sent by the old lady to stay here early in the morning quickly came over to salute the two girls, and then said to Su Yan: "Fifth girl, Prince Jing's son has come to our house, and he is at the old lady's place." Have dinner. The old lady told you to change your clothes and go over there."
Su Yan was slightly surprised, but still couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
What surprised her was that Chu Yan came to her house in an open and aboveboard manner, and she was happy that she also wanted to see him earlier.
Hearing what the maid said, Su Xi was a little envious and jealous in her heart, but she urged with a bit of teasing on her face: "Fifth Younger Sister, go to grandma's place quickly, don't wait for her."
The defense between men and women in the court is not as serious as before. Although women in boudoirs are not allowed to see outside men easily, the rules of engagement like Su Yan and Chu Yan will be looser, even for enlightened elders. They will also deliberately arrange for two people to meet each other. After all, if two people can fancy each other before marriage, then both families will be happy to see it.
After Su Yan and Su Xi bid farewell, they left first.
Looking at Su Yan's back, Su Xi sighed softly: "Her life is really good. Sitting at home, she can get a good husband. Unlike me, I have to fight for what I want." A trace of sadness flashed between her brows and eyes. , Su Xi pulled the maid and said, "Let's go."
Because Su Yan was going to the old lady, Zhong Ning was afraid that if she said something wrong in front of the old lady, she would go to the Wuyuan first. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask Su Yan to give her a voice when she saw Chu Yan. .
The servant girl who delivered the letter to Su Yan at the door just now warned on the way: "The old lady asked the servant girl to tell the girl that you should pretend that you don't know that the prince is coming to our house, and just go to pay your respects."
Su Yan nodded in agreement, knowing that the old lady meant to find a chance for the two of them to meet, but she didn't want Chu Yan to underestimate the girl from the Su family.
When she arrived outside the old lady's house, Su Yan happened to see the maid about to walk in with a tray, and there were some delicate pastries on the tray.
"Give it to me." Su Yan took the tray in the maid's hand, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Chu Yan sitting there drinking tea in a serious manner, while the old lady looked at Chu Yan with a smile on her face, and heard someone entering the room After taking a look, she found that it was Su Yan and immediately waved to Su Yan: "Sister Yan is back."
The old lady looked at Su Yan with a smile, then looked at Chu Yan, and introduced to Su Yan: "Sister Yan, this is Prince Jing's son." In the old lady's cognition, Su Yan and Chu Yan This should be the first meeting. Although Uncle An Jing knew about Su Yan and Chu Yan's visit to Zhuangzi last time, Uncle An Jing did not tell the old lady about it.
The old lady stared at Chu Yan's expression, for fear of seeing dissatisfaction on Chu Yan's face.
Su Yan handed the tray in her hand to the servant girl in the room, and first went to the old lady to greet the old lady, then turned around and saluted Chu Yanfu: "My son is well."
Su Yan bowed to Chu Yan like an ordinary daughter. It was the first time for Chu Yan to see Su Yan's dignified and courteous appearance, and he found it very interesting. Chu Yan accepted Su Yan's gift peacefully, his eyes stayed on Su Yan's face for a moment and then left: "The county master doesn't need to be too polite."
This is called according to Su Yan's title.
This was the first time Su Yan saw Chu Yan being so serious. Every time they met before, Chu Yan looked at her with sticky eyes, as if he wanted to eat her. Su Yan glanced at Chu Yan with a smile, and saluted Chu Yanfu again before walking back to the old lady's side. She lowered her head and did not speak, but the slightly raised corners of her lips showed that she was in a very happy mood.
The old lady withdrew her gaze in satisfaction.
Although Chu Yan didn't seem warm to Su Yan just now, when Chu Yan talked to Su Yan, there was a little softness that was not easy to detect. It's not surprising that her sister Yan has an outstanding temperament and a top-notch appearance. How can there be any men who don't like her
The old lady called Su Yan to sit next to her. She wanted to show that Su Yan was favored in the Su family, and let Chu Yan know Su Yan's status in the family. After getting married, she could value Su Yan more because of it.
Chu Yan and Su Yan understood the old man's thoughts at a glance. Su Yan was moved by the old lady's good intentions, but at the same time felt very guilty. The old lady treated her so well, but she has been plotting to harm her son. Su Yan's determined heart to take revenge was slightly shaken, but the shake was only for a moment.
The smile on the old lady's face has not faded since Chu Yan came, she took Su Yan's hand and asked, "Did you go out for lunch with Princess Rongyang just now?"
Su Yan went out today with the pretext of going to the shop with Princess Rongyang, the old lady didn't know that she went to the gate of the city.
When the old lady exposed her lying in front of Chu Yan, Su Yanqiao felt a little uncomfortable.
Looking at Su Yan, Chu Yan raised his eyebrows playfully.
"It's useless." Su Yan pretended not to see Chu Yan's expression, and said without changing expression. Although both she and Chu Yan knew that she was going to the gate of the city, she couldn't say it in front of the old lady.
Chu Yan looked at Su Yan's well-behaved, dignified and unblinking look in front of the old lady, his eyes were filled with tenderness for a moment: "After the last farewell, I haven't seen him for half a year, and the county magistrate is even more charming."
