Su Wan opened her eyes and found that it was Jiang Yu, who was smiling gently at her.
"You're so old, but you're still so reckless?"
Su Wan broke away from his arms and looked at him in confusion. It was already night, why was he still here?
"You haven't left yet? I thought you went back."
Jiang Yu nodded:
"I wanted to come and see you before I left."
Didn’t you just see that? When Su Wan heard this, he murmured softly.
Jiang Yu would not be satisfied with just one glance. What he wanted was to be alone with her for a while, even if he just sat quietly with her.
Missing is an invisible big hand. When a person has a concern in his heart, that big hand will always pull him from time to time, aggravating the longing that is about to come out in his heart.
"Or, you might as well not leave at all, stay here tonight, and go with my eldest brother to pick up the bride tomorrow."
Just now, Su Jing had invited him. Now that he is here, it is so late today. He will go to pick up the bride tomorrow. Someone from Shen Qingli sent a message saying that the eldest brother of the Shen family was back and arranged for many talented people to stop the door. He Jiaren has many problems waiting for him, so he should be mentally prepared. Tomorrow, Su Jing will have to pass five levels and kill six generals before he can embrace the beauty.
Jiang Yu happened to catch up, so he was pulled into a young man and followed him to break the barrier tomorrow.
"Are you going too?"
Su Wan looked at him in surprise, which meant that he was going to be the best man for his eldest brother.
But yes, everyone is so familiar with each other, and they used to be like brothers. Although Su Jing minded about him and his sister and didn't tell him for so long, his friendship with Jiang Yu remained unchanged.
Therefore, it is understandable to invite Jiang Yu to accompany him to pick up the bride.
After nightfall, the entire Su Mansion was illuminated warmly by red lanterns, making it look full of joy.
"Well, I'm going too, are you surprised?" He pulled Su Wan and sat down on the stone bench in the yard.
"It's not surprising, it's good. Our Su family hasn't held a wedding banquet for a long time. This time, my eldest brother and Sister Shen are getting married. I'm happy for them. Starting tomorrow, I will have a sister-in-law."
Su Wan's expression actually showed a hint of pride. She knew it in the past, but due to etiquette, she couldn't call her sister-in-law. In the future, she could call her sister-in-law openly.
"My eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law are both great people. One is a talented girl from the capital, a lady from a famous family, the other is a descendant of a miracle doctor and has unparalleled wisdom. In the future, there will be a third sister-in-law, a fourth sister-in-law, and a fifth sister-in-law. They will definitely be very good people in the future."
Seeing her show off expression, Jiang Yu just looked at her and smiled. It was great. These people will also be his family in the future.
Before meeting Su Wan, he felt very lonely. After meeting her, that feeling of loneliness has become farther and farther away from him.
"This time I went to Zhongzhou and brought the betrothal gift that my grandfather had prepared for you early in the morning to Kyoto. However, when the time comes, this betrothal gift will have to be given to you in private. Only the share from the Duke's Palace can be given to you openly. I hope you don’t mind, I’m afraid that when the time comes, the arrangement will be too big and it will cause unnecessary suspicion and trouble.”
There are so many taboo things in Kyoto. For a family like Guogong's Mansion, if two betrothal gifts were brought to the Su Mansion together, there would not even be enough space on two streets. This overwhelming wealth would attract a lot of attention. The trouble is that all the censors in the imperial court are worried about their lack of performance. When the time comes, they will jointly impeach Jiang Guogong's government for seeking power for personal gain. It will not be good to install some unwarranted names.
Just be afraid, it will bring trouble to Su Mansion.
Su Wan understood and nodded obediently. She knew that Jiang Yu was doing it for her own good, but he also wanted to give herself the best to show his sincerity and attention.
Therefore, the Su family only needs to understand these things in their own hearts, and there is no need for others to see them.
"Does your father know about our affairs?" Su Wan suddenly asked a question that caught Jiang Yu off guard.
He hasn't mentioned this matter to Jiang Guogong yet. First of all, the relationship between father and son is not good. It should be said that Jiang Yu has a problem with him. He doesn't speak more than ten sentences at a time under the same roof.
Secondly, Duke Jiang Guo spent most of his time in the military camp training, and there were not many opportunities for father and son to meet. He also never asked about Jiang Yu's marriage.
"I will find a time to tell him that my marriage is my own decision. Don't worry, Wanwan. After we get married, we don't need to live in the Duke's Mansion. We can move out, or I can stay with you in Su. The government is fine too.”
Jiang Yu had already thought about it. He wouldn't care what others thought of him, as long as Su Wan was happy.
Hearing what he said, how could Su Wan not be moved?
From now on, if you live in the Su Mansion, what will be the difference between you and your son-in-law? It's more about a man's dignity and face. I'm afraid he will become a joke in Kyoto in the future.
Moreover, if he is willing, can Mr. Jiang Guo be willing?
If your son moves out to live with his parents-in-law after he gets married, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
"Can your father Jiang Guogong allow you to do this? I'm afraid he will break your legs."
"He won't. The relationship between me and him is weak. He hasn't cared about me much since we were young. Besides, he is more than just my son."
It can be heard from Jiang Yu's words that he has quite a big opinion against his father.
Father, like son.
In fact, Duke Jiang Guo's stance towards Jiang Yu is very firm. At least for so many years, he has been sitting safely in the position of the crown prince.
His so-called other son has always existed as a concubine. It can be said that he gave the late Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yu enough respect.
Duke Jiang Guo must care about his son. After all, he is the child of his beloved woman.
Su Wan had never been in contact with Jiang Guogong, so she couldn't make an evaluation, but she had to admit that a person with such a good reputation among the people and soldiers must not be so bad.
"Okay, don't talk about this anymore, let me give you a hug, okay?"
Jiang Yu stood up, walked to Su Wan, then gently held her head, hugged her, and let her head rest under his ribs.
I haven’t seen you for more than a month, so I miss this little girl.
Su Wan also stretched out his hand and put his arm around Jiang Yu's waist.
She could feel how good this man's figure was, and the muscles in his abdomen were so hard that she wanted to squeeze them.
Ah, bah, bah, bah...
What was she thinking about? She went astray as she was thinking about it.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and then talked in an awkward tone. Jiang Yu didn't kiss her tonight, maybe because he felt embarrassed to be in this courtyard with the stars above his head!
Jiang Yu really stayed in the Su Mansion tonight, living in the same courtyard as Su Chen.
Anyway, the two of them often slept together in the military camp.
After Su Chen had a fight with Jiang Yu last time, he silently received his slap, and the resentment in his heart also dissipated a lot.
Forget it, if you have to choose someone to be your brother-in-law in the future, this person might as well be Jiang Yu!
