Su Wan thought so from the bottom of his heart at this moment, and was not deliberately careless because he was thinking about Jiang Yu.

When Su Jing and Su Yi heard this, they felt a little sad for no reason, and the smiles on their faces were a little distressed.

Is it just this, so satisfying?

Su Jing couldn't help but rub her head:

"Silly girl, do you want to buy anything else? Big brother will go with you."

"Let's go to Yueman West Building for lunch. I heard from the fourth brother that they have a new super delicious dessert in the back kitchen. I want to eat it." Su Wan asked, pulling the sleeves of the eldest brother and the fifth brother.

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want, let's go!" Su Jing took her out of Bingjitang.

Su Yi took an umbrella when he went out, and he silently held the umbrella for Su Wan to protect him from the sun.

The three brothers and sisters walked to Yueman West Tower, followed by Liu Yun and Liu Ying. They happened to meet Su Yun in the front hall, who was talking to shopkeeper Luo.

Shopkeeper Luo saw Su Wan and the others coming from the corner of his eye, and signaled Su Yun to turn around.

Su Yun turned around and saw his elder brother and Su Wan coming, and he was very excited.

"Why are you here?"

"Let's have dinner and see you by the way." Su Wan replied.

"Yes, come and have lunch with us, fourth brother. The eldest brother will be leaving in a few days." Su Yi smiled gently.

Of course Su Yun was fine. He said hello to shopkeeper Luo, and then went to the private room with Su Wan and the others for dinner.

Su Wan asked Liu Yun and Liu Ying to sit down and eat together. The two sisters were a little reserved and embarrassed to share the same table with their master, but here in Su Wan, there is no such serious hierarchical mentality.

Everyone had a very happy lunch and played in the street for a while before going home.

Su Yun planned to work at Yueman Xilou until the end of the year. He felt that what he wanted to learn was not comprehensive enough, and he wanted to continue to learn more at Yueman Xilou, so he approached Shopkeeper Luo to discuss this matter.

Because it was agreed at the beginning that it would last for half a year.

When Su Wan returned home, she opened the box that Qiu Niang had given her. Inside lay a white pearl necklace. Each pearl was of the highest quality, round and full, and of the same size.

She put it on immediately and looked pretty in front of the bronze mirror for a long time.



The next day, Su Wan and Su Jing were going to go to Ning Zhiqian and Ning Xiaomei's appointment. Let's just say that the weather this month is still a bit hot and not suitable for outdoor use.

However, the brother and sister still dressed up and went there in a hibiscus garden in Xiangzhou City.

Furong Garden has a filter here in Suwan. Even if she doesn't give Ning Zhiqian face, she will come to Furong Garden.

A person who likes hibiscus very much. Just the hibiscus tree at home makes her extremely happy. Imagine if there was a large one, she would not be able to refuse it at all.

As expected by Su Wan, Ning Xiaomei and his sister invited not only Su Wan, but also the daughter of the governor of Xiangzhou, the daughter of the chief historian, and the son of the prefect.

They were all second-generation officials. Other than that, no businesswomen were invited.

They set up a flowing mat in the Furong Garden. There are hundreds of hibiscus trees in the Furong Garden, which are densely packed. When going to the Furong Garden, they have to cross the river. There is an arch bridge on the bridge. From this angle, you can just see the hibiscus trees underneath. Su Wan was amazed at the grand view of the garden at that moment. Before coming here, she had never known that there was such a magical place here.

I have been in Xiangzhou for so long, and this is the first time I have heard of it.

There is a large pavilion in the middle of the Furong Garden, surrounded by hibiscus trees, named Furong Pavilion.

Just because of this grand scene today, Su Wan felt that his visit was not in vain.

Su Jing can also see that Su Wan really likes hibiscus flowers. He is thinking that in the future in the No. 1 Scholar's Palace in Kyoto, he will renovate the back garden and plant the hibiscus flowers that she loves.

The boy Ning Zhiqian sent to pick them up led them to the depths of Furong Garden today.

The scent of hibiscus flowers filled her nose. Su Wan closed her eyes in enjoyment and caught a few fallen hibiscus petals.

There is a flowing water banquet in the pavilion, which is a large carved log table. Everyone sits there. There is a ditch in the middle of the table, and a rockery is created on it. It is particularly artistic. The flowing water is directed along the ditch to create the look of a river. The water flow It can push the plate and keep rotating inside. This is the custom of the ancients, which is called the flowing water feast.

Seeing Su Wan and Su Jing coming, everyone stood up to greet them.

One is the young, elegant and handsome Number One Scholar, and the other is the younger sister of the Number One Scholar. They are both very popular.

Su Jing's appearance and temperament are enough to make little girls fall in love with her, while Su Wan's beauty and agility can easily make men admire her.

No, when brother and sister Ning Zhiqian and Ning Xiaomei saw them, they both showed expressions of obsession.

The brothers and sisters deliberately arranged for Su and Wan to sit between them so that they could be close to them.

"Su Zhuangyuan, Miss Su Liu, you have finally arrived, I am waiting for you, please take a seat."

"Sorry, I'm late and kept you waiting for so long!" Su Jing bowed to express her apology, and Su Wan also blessed her body.

"Sister Wan Wan, sit here, do you mind if I call you that?" Ning Xiaomei took the initiative and wanted to arrange Su Wan next to her brother.

"Sister Ning, you don't mind." Su Wan showed a professional fake smile, still adhering to the idea of ​​​​speaking people's words when seeing people, and telling ghosts when seeing ghosts, and they were all good at showing off.

However, Su Wan did not sit next to Ning Zhiqian obediently as she wanted. Instead, she held Ning Xiaomei's hand pretending to be intimate and asked gently:

"I haven't seen Sister Ning for many days, and I miss her very much. I want to sit next to Sister Ning today, okay?"

As soon as she said this, so sincerely, how could Ning Xiaomei refuse? If you still insisted on placing her next to her brother, this would be too deliberate. She could only agree with a stiff smile, holding her hand and saying:

"Of course you can. If you are willing to get close to me, it's not too late for me to be happy!"

Su Jing beside her couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, praising her sister's shrewdness in her heart.

Finally, Su Wan sat next to Ning Xiaomei, and Su Jing sat down next to Ning Zhiqian.

As soon as he sat down, the governor started to do something:

"Su Zhuangyuan, you are late today, but you have to wait for us, so you have to punish yourself with three drinks. The sixth lady is a woman, so she has preferential treatment, so she will be punished with one drink."

Su Jing agreed to the punishment for the sake of the governor.

"Yes, I should be punished. It's just that my roommate doesn't drink well. I drank her drink for her." Su Jing didn't know if Su Wan had a good drinker, but he didn't want her to drink.

"It's okay, Su Zhuangyuan. Today's wine is made from hibiscus flowers. It has a sweet taste and is not easily intoxicating. We also specially served hibiscus wine considering that there are women today." At this time, Ning Xiaomei explained.

"Wine made from hibiscus flowers? Then I have to try it." Su Wan heard that it was made from hibiscus flowers, so she became interested.

She poured herself a glass, raised it and prepared to touch it with her elder brother.

Seeing that she was interested, Su Jing didn't want to dampen her interest. Anyway, he had a good drinking capacity, and he was still there when he was drunk.

The brother and sister clinked a glass, and Su Wan raised his head slightly and drank it down. The hibiscus wine was indeed as Ning Xiaomei said. It was sweet in the mouth, but not too sweet. After drinking it, he felt that hibiscus lingered between his lips and teeth. of fragrance.
