Mrs. Li sighed: "If possible, I still hope he would come earlier. After all, what is said outside is not good."
Li Shi thought about it for a long time. When Su Xun came back in the evening, she asked Su Xun if he could deliver the letter. Su Xun shook his head after hearing this: "If Jing Yuan is here, it would be okay to let him help, but we can't have the same relationship with the Western Wei Dynasty." Too much coming and going.”
"Your Majesty will definitely be unhappy if he finds out."
After all, it is between the two countries, and there is a lot of commotion and chaos in the Western Wei Dynasty. Your Majesty and His Highness tolerate Su Xun going to the Western Wei Dynasty to the limit, and after Su Xun leaves, it will not be possible to serve as an official in Eastern Zhao in the future.
If it weren't for his daughter and son-in-law, he probably wouldn't have to be a minister.
It is not a good thing to correspond with the Western Wei Dynasty. It is not a good thing to come when it is supposed to come. Moreover, the Western Wei Dynasty is in such a mess. I don't know if this letter can reach Huo Yan's hands.
If it fell into the hands of the enemy and Su Luo's existence was known, it might lead to disaster.
"If the letter falls into the hands of others, A Luo might be in danger. Just wait."
As of now, all we can do is wait.
However, this wait lasted for three months, and it was mid-June.
This is the hottest time of the year. The weather is as hot as a raging fire cooking oil. Su Luo has been staying at home to embroider clothes these days without going out. There is an ice basin next to it, and the maid is holding a fan to cool the air. It came and relieved the heat.
It has been more than a year since the engagement, and all the wedding clothes are ready. There is no need to worry about it now. Su Luo's embroidery skills are pretty good. Now that she has nothing to do, she likes to make clothes.
A maid brought a bowl of fruit ice cream. She took a bite and felt refreshed all over. She kept mumbling: "I don't know when this summer will be over."
After Ba La Ba La finished a bowl, she felt it was not enough: "Send me another bowl."
The woman waiting next to her said helplessly: "My aunt, just one bowl is enough. If the third lady finds out, she will definitely be angry."
After all, it is a cold food, and women should not eat too much.
Su Luo rolled her eyes and tried to discuss: "If there is no one bowl, can half a bowl be made?"
"Okay, okay, just half a bowl, no more."
Su Luo smiled and thanked her: "Thank you, aunt."
The Wang family who made the decision around Su Luo arranged for her to have an aunt who had the word "lan" in her name, so she was called Lan Gu. She was a gentle and cautious woman, and she had arranged things in Su Luo Garden smoothly over the years. Be well organized.
Lan Gu asked someone to bring her another half of the bowl, and then took a closer look at the clothes she had embroidered: "Are the patterns missing?"
"No way." Su Luo said, "I have seen Mr. Huo several times before. He was always wearing black clothes with no patterns on them, so that's pretty much it."
Lan Gu's eyes were soft: "It is also his blessing that Mr. Huo can meet the girl."
Although Su Luo is not that shrewd, although she has experienced many things over the years, is a little older, and is not as innocent as before, she has always been sincere to others, has a clean and clear heart, and she tries her best to treat the people around her well.
Just like at this time, I didn't have much relationship with Mr. Huo, but when I had some free time, I quietly made clothes for others.
Lan Gu didn't know much about Mr. Huo, but she knew that he had no other relatives except his master. If there was a girl who took him seriously and cared about him all the time, that would be a big deal to him. kind of luck.
Su Luo raised her lips slightly: "Of course, meeting me is his blessing. Otherwise, how would he have such a cute and beautiful little wife?"
When she said this, she was a little embarrassed. She was not married yet, so she said she was someone else's little wife.
Lan Gu smiled and said, "I don't know when Mr. Huo will come."
Su Luo whispered: "He can come anytime. If he doesn't come, I can stay at home for a few more days and spend more time with my father, mother, grandparents, and of course my aunt."
Lan Gu married a steward of Jinning Palace. When Su Luo became a monk in the future, she would not be able to follow her. Su Luo had been with her for these years and had feelings for her.
"Su Luo can't bear to leave her aunt."
"Auntie can't bear to let go of the girl." Lan Gu smiled, "If A Luo gets married in the Imperial City, the head of the family and I will go with her. It's just that I was born in the Imperial City, born here, and grew up here, so I can only apologize. It’s a girl.”
Su Luo shook her head vigorously: "There's nothing to be sorry for. Sixth Sister said that everyone has their own way. Even if we can't see each other all the time, as long as we know that the other person is doing well, it is a great thing."
Now that she sat down and made the decision, although she was reluctant to give up, she could also see that she had grown up and was no longer the little girl who could only walk with someone's support.
While the two were talking, someone brought the half bowl of fruit ice cream. The fresh cherries were paired with the cold ice cheese. After one bite, the summer heat disappeared and everyone felt comfortable.
She carefully finished half the bowl. Although she still wanted to finish it, she could only give up.
Not long after, someone came to report that Su Xun was back and asked her to go to Yuhua Garden. Su Luo was still surprised at this moment: "Why is father back?"
It's not noon yet, so it's not the time to go to the office.
"I don't know this. You will know when the eighth girl goes there."
Su Luo nodded, then put on her clothes and walked towards Yuhua Garden with a fan and an oil-paper umbrella.
When they arrived at Yuhuayuan, they saw both Su Xun and Li Shi. Su Xun looked a little strange and didn't know what was going on. Li Shi twisted her handkerchief, feeling a little happy but also a little distressed.
"The daughter pays homage to her father and mother."
Su Xun nodded: "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Su Luo sat down on the rose armchair beside her as she was told, and a maid brought tea.
Su Xun stared at Su Luo for a long time, which made Su Luo feel a little strange: "Father, what's going on?"
Su Xun reached out and pressed his eyebrows, and then said: "Huo Yan and your fourth brother are back."
"Fourth brother is back? It's true!" Su Luo felt happy. She hadn't seen her brother in almost two years.
Su Xun glanced at her, and then said: "Huo Yan is also here. This morning they arrived at Wangdi Town outside the Imperial City and sent a letter to His Majesty, saying that they wanted to enter the city."
According to Huo Yan and Su Xun's current status, Dong Zhao and Imperial City are not places where he can come just as he wants. They need permission.
"His Majesty summoned me for questioning, and then sent someone to reply to the letter, asking them to enter the city tomorrow afternoon, and only allowed thirty people to come in."
"A Luo, he is here this time probably to fulfill his engagement and come to marry you. If you marry him and then leave with him, are you still willing?"
