Huo Yan was warmly received by everyone, but it was too warm and he couldn't bear it. When the banquet started, everyone took their seats and finally let him go, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
During the dinner, it was inevitable to change glasses. Su Xun was still young and did not drink alcohol yet, but Huo Yan could still drink, so Su Xun drank several glasses of wine. But the advantage was that he had a good capacity for drinking and was not drunk at all.
After the banquet was over, he hurriedly said goodbye to Su Xian and left.
Su Xun couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. There was really nothing he could do, and he didn't want him to stay at the inn, so he said, "How about you go to Jingpingyuan? My sixth sister, my brother-in-law, and I live there. There are few people, and my sixth sister doesn’t like to take care of things. You should live more comfortably, and it’s cold in the inn today.”
Although it was quite cold on the road, there was nothing we could do because we had to rush. But now that we were back in the Imperial City, we naturally wanted to live more comfortably.
Although Huo Yan is not afraid of the cold, he can warm him. Who wants to be cold? Hearing this, he paused: "Isn't it appropriate to go to someone else's house?"
"There is nothing inappropriate." Su Xun said, "There is a guest garden in Jingpingyuan. There were students living there before, so they changed a small door to go out. As long as the door to the outer courtyard is closed, it will be an independent 's yard."
"Sixth sister and brother-in-law didn't bring anyone with them this time. The yard is empty and it's not far from here. I'll accompany you there and tell my brother-in-law that he will send someone to boil hot water for you on weekdays. , and just give me three meals a day.”
"Moreover, spring is approaching recently, and most of the inns in the Imperial City are full. I'm afraid that the good rooms will be gone now. Besides, the wine inns are also crowded and noisy now."
Huo Yan thought about it. It was probably very noisy in the inn now, and there must be no good rooms, so he said: "That's fine, but there is no need to arrange any services for me. I only need one person to cook for me." Just some hot water and heat the kang."
"As for food, since I'm here in the Imperial City, I want to eat all the delicious food in the Imperial City."
Huo Yan thought about it carefully. Although he had never met this Li family member, his old uncle still had some friendship with him. It seemed that he could live there shamelessly for a while, as long as he didn't bother others too much.
So the two of them went to Jingpingyuan in a carriage.
Li Lin and Su Wan didn't fall asleep at the moment. They were leaning against each other on the wooden couch in the study and reading. Su Wan felt bored when he looked at it, so he reached out and untied the jade pendant from his waist to see. This jade pendant was the original betrothal ring. The white jade squirrel hugs its tail jade pendant, and the two of them occasionally take it out and wear it.
Su Wan took the jade pendant tied around his waist, put the two jade pendants together, and carefully examined the lines on them.
Li Lin's craftsmanship is quite good, and the little squirrel is carved lifelike.
"Hey, why did you give me this jade pendant that day?"
Su Wan remembered that he had given her a lot of little squirrels, small moving toys, hairpins, this pair of jade pendants, and other bits and pieces.
He smiled, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and held the two jade pendants in his hand: "Madam is lovely."
"Um?"
Su Wan was puzzled and turned to look at him, "I don't think there's anything cute about me. If you want to praise me, you might as well praise me for my beauty."
He complimented kindly: "Madam is beautiful."
He was so insincere and looked at her like a bad woman forcing herself on him. She was so angry that she pinched him.
He chuckled lightly and stopped reading again: "It's true that Madam is cute. I still remember the first time I met Madam. Everyone around was talking. Madam and A Luo were eating beside her, like Like a little squirrel, his cheeks bulged up and down."
At that time, he felt that this girl was so cute.
Maybe it wasn't love at first sight, but I still had some ideas in my heart. Later, when I met Su Fu and Su Ran, she was almost framed by Su Fu, so he came out to testify and help her.
It was only later that he came up with the idea that he wanted to be with her and marry her back.
Su Wan's face turned red: "Even if you want to use a metaphor, you have to compare me to a flower, not a little squirrel." After that, she hummed softly, "But the squirrel is also quite cute. Yes, I reluctantly don’t care about you anymore.”
"I want to thank Madam for her kindness?" He chuckled, not seeing her look like this now, just like a squirrel wagging her tail, how different is she?
"No need." Su Wan was about to say something when he saw someone pushing open the courtyard door and walking into the courtyard. Then he walked quickly through the courtyard and stopped at the door of the house.
"Did the young master and madam go to bed?"
The visitor is Shan Wu.
Li Lin asked: "What's the matter?"
"My uncle is here. He is currently arranging the guest garden in the outer courtyard."
When the two of them heard what she said about 'uncle', they couldn't figure out who it was for a moment. They were thinking about where the uncle was. The two looked at each other, and Su Wan coughed slightly and asked loudly: "Which uncle is it?" ?”
Shan Wu said: "This is the fourth young master of Jinning Palace, madam, your fourth brother."
Is it Su Xian?
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that the uncle referred to her natal brother. This uncle was not her grandfather, but Su Wan was only a teenager, so why should she be called a master.
What aunts, uncles and aunts are really sad.
Su Wan was glad that she got a title. When she returned to Jinning Palace, everyone called her Princess. If she were called Sixth Aunt Grandma, she would really feel like she was seventy years old.
But why did Su Xun come back? What are you doing here so late?
"Go and arrange for someone to take care of you. Young Master and I will be here soon."
"yes."
After the people outside left, the two of them went to the dormitory to change their clothes. Su Wan asked Zhu Cui to come over and comb her hair into a bun, and finally fixed it with a silver hairpin from Fish Scale Immortal Cloud.
When the two of them walked out, Su Wan asked him: "Why is Ah Xun back? But what happened?"
"I haven't heard anything happened." Li Lin said calmly, "I heard a few months ago that he was very good at Mr. Huo's place. He practiced martial arts and studied very hard. Maybe he came back to have a look. , Tomorrow is my father-in-law’s birthday, and he hasn’t been back for almost two years.”
When Su Wan heard what he said, she felt it made sense, so she felt relieved. She was just worried that something would happen to Su Wan.
The two of them left the main courtyard and soon arrived at the guest garden in the outer courtyard. Su Xun and Huo Yan were drinking tea at a table. When they heard footsteps, they turned around. Su Xun's eyes suddenly lit up. Immediately he stood up and greeted him.
"Sixth sister, brother-in-law!"
Su Wan stood still. Seeing that he was so happy to see her, Su Wan felt warm in his heart: "When did Ah Xun come back? Why are you here so late?"
After saying that, she looked at Huo Yan, who had already stood up, and asked with a smile: "Is this a good friend of Ah Xun?"
Su Xun immediately explained: "Sixth sister, this is my senior brother Huo Yan, senior brother, these are my sixth sister and brother-in-law."
