Chapter Twenty-Five: The Journey

Mrs. Zuo and Liao Zhongfang followed them from such a distance and unhurriedly until they saw them get into their respective carriages and leave.

"I think eighty percent of them have the intention of going on a blind date, you see that Cao Gongzi stared at Miss Su all the way." Mrs. Zuo said angrily to Liao Zhongfang.

"Then my mother will go to Su Mansion tomorrow to find Mrs. Xiao to inquire, if I don't understand this matter clearly, I always feel very unsure." Liao Zhongfang said with a panicked expression.

has liked Su Shanyun for so long, and what Liao Zhongfang is most worried about is that one day he suddenly learns that Su Shanyun is engaged. In the heart of fourteen-year-old Liao Zhongfang, Su Shanyun is the most ideal marriage partner in his eyes, and he can't imagine how he would feel if he learned that her groom was not him one day.

That must be more painful than cutting a piece of flesh in your heart, right? Liao Zhongfang thought in his heart.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zuo sighed helplessly, and said in a solemn tone with a little pity: "Okay, then I will go to Su's house tomorrow to inquire, and I will also send someone to Zhou's side to ask, so I can get a good letter." โ€

"Good, good!" Liao Zhongfang nodded busily, a smile on his face.

Mrs. Zuo said to him with emotion: "If it weren't for the fact that you like her very much, your mother and I wouldn't have spent so much effort staring at the Su family, you don't know how cold the Su family's attitude towards me is." โ€

"As soon as I qiฤ“, please mother! I don't know why I just like her very much, but I don't feel it at all when I see other girls. Liao Zhongfang affectionately grabbed Mrs. Zuo's arm.

Mrs. Zuo felt that this matter was a little difficult, she glared at him and said sternly: "You have to study hard, if you can't get fame, it's useless for your mother to help you no matter how hard she tries." โ€

Liao Zhongfang nodded again and again.

Mrs. Zuo's face improved slightly, and she continued to enjoy the lanterns with him.

On the way back, Zhang Ying asked Su Shanyun softly: "How is it?" Does it feel appropriate? โ€

Su Shanyun shook her head, and suddenly felt inexplicably nervous in her heart.

"Is it an eye-catching condition or something else?"

"I didn't feel disgusted when I looked at him, but I didn't feel like I was moved either." Su Shanyun explained truthfully.

"Do you know what it's like to be excited?" Zhang Ying asked again.

"Yes."

"It's a hard feeling, do you have the confidence to wait? What if you don't meet it until you're very old? Zhang Ying asked her deliberately.

"Yes, didn't you wait until now to meet my Daddy? I feel that you and my father are very harmonious when they are together, and I want to find such a relationship. โ€

These words went to Zhang Ying's heart, on the issue of choosing a mate, she didn't know how much incomprehension she had endured from the outside world over the years, but she still insisted on her heart, and the taste of that was actually understood by a little girl who was only twelve years old, she suddenly felt very happy, so she held Su Shanyun's hand tightly and said: "Okay, as long as you have confidence, then make a choice according to your own heart, don't let the wishes of others affect your happiness." โ€

Su Shanyun nodded.

Back in Su Mansion, Su Shanyun found that the whole family was waiting for them to come back.

Su Shanyun didn't want to deal with it vaguely, so she told them the result of her blind date.

"Is it really inappropriate? Do you want to think about it for a few days before making a decision? Mrs. Xiao was a little surprised.

Su Shanyun can't even look down on such a good person, so what kind of person does she want to find?

Mrs. Xiao is a traditional woman, and in her eyes, she is already a good match with a good family and good character.

So Mrs. Xiao asked Su Shanyun again: "What do you think he is not good enough?" โ€

Su Shanyun said hesitantly: "He's fine, but I just don't have feelings for him." โ€

"Feelings?" Mrs. Xiao was a little angry when she heard this.

Do you feel like you can eat it as a meal?

Mrs. Xiao felt that Su Shanyun's idea was still too unrealistic.

So she held Su Shanyun's hand and said patiently: "Shanyun, marrying someone is to live, no matter how much you feel will be wiped out by life, if you happen to meet such a good person, I think you should think about it carefully." I can tell Mrs. Zhou that you are still young, and the two families may as well get married first, and then get married in a few years. โ€

"Nope." This sentence suddenly came out of Su Shanyun's mouth very resolutely and sharply, startling the whole room.

"No, since you don't like it, there's no need to be reluctant to be together." Su Shanyun didn't raise her eyes to look at everyone, and said with her head slightly down.

Mrs. Shaw was a little disappointed.

"Since Shanyun really doesn't like it, then it's better to respect her meaning, marriage can't be rushed." Zhang Ying smiled and rounded the field.

Su Ziming also smiled and said to Mrs. Xiao: "Mother, after all, Shanyun wants to marry that person and not his family background, forget about it." โ€

"Don't worry, mother, I will help Shanyun find it in the capital in the future, and find someone with a good family background and Shanyun's heart, which is guaranteed to satisfy you more than the son of the Cao family." Su Zizhao also expressed his position.

When Mrs. Xiao saw that her two sons said this, she couldn't say anything more, but she still felt a little pity in her heart.

After this village, there will be no such shop!

But now these young people's thoughts are getting more and more different, and she can't intervene if she wants to, so she has to sigh and say, "Okay, then I'll reply to Mrs. Zhou tomorrow." โ€

Everyone nodded.

Mrs. Xiao knew that Su Zizhao and his wife and children were going to return to Beijing tomorrow, and Su Shanyun was also going to Tianjin to visit relatives, so there was reluctance in her eyes, so she wanted to stay with everyone for a while, so she chatted with everyone: "I just heard Mrs. Lin in Oak Lane this evening say that your sister-in-law Guo's niece Guo Wanzhu is going to marry the Lan family in Oak Lane, and it is said that you will get married on the 8th of next month, and your sister-in-law Guo also sent someone to hand me a letter, asking me to go to eat and drink at that time." โ€

Su Ziming and Su Shanyun couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, this Guo Wanzhu heard at the end of last year that there was no match, why did she even set the date of marriage after the New Year?

Since Oak Lane is close to Sujia Lane, Su Shanyun also has a little understanding of the situation on the Lan family's side, then the Lan family does have a son in his early twenties, I heard that he is the ambassador of the salt class in the island city, and the family has been an official for generations, but they are all petty officials, Guo Wanzhu is such an arrogant person, and her father is still a Wupin Beijing official, how can she agree to marry such a family?

"Maybe your sister-in-law Guo wants to move around more places in the future." Mrs. Xiao looked at everyone's slightly puzzled looks, so she explained with a smile.

"Maybe." Su Zizhao smiled.

"Then we'll go with a gift." Su Ziming said, without any expression on his face.

"Well, you don't have to go, just let me go." Mrs. Shaw said.

Seeing that Su Zizhao was about to return to Beijing to go to the government, and Su Ziming was about to take up his post in the prefect's office, she didn't want her children to be distracted by these things.

"Naturally, we don't know them very well." Su Zizhao responded.

Mrs. Xiao yawned, looked at everyone and said, "Let's all go and rest, you guys will go out tomorrow." โ€

Everyone then got up and said goodnight to her.

Early the next morning, Su Ziming personally sent Su Zizhao, Su Shanyun and his party to the dock.

Su Zizhao's family would send Su Shanyun safely to Tianjin before heading north, so they left on the same boat.

And a letter also came from Tianjin, saying that Su Shanyun's aunt would send someone to the dock to pick up Su Shanyun, and Su Zizhao's family would send Su Shanyun to the dock in Tianjin and then go north, without even getting off the boat.

The climate in early spring was still very cold, and piles of white ice could still be seen on the sea, and it was biting cold when the sea breeze blew, but Su Shanyun still wanted to go up to the deck to see the scenery, so she put on an apricot-colored embroidered cotton cloak and walked out.

There were people standing on the deck in twos and threes, but most of them were men.

Su Shanyun pulled the hat of the cloak up, let it wrap tightly around her head, and slowly walked to the railing.

The cold wind blew her whole body, but it also shocked her whole spirit.

She leaned on the fence with both hands and looked out.

But I saw that the sea water shimmered under the sun's rays, and the waves regularly lapped the boats, splashing white waves, and the sea was boundless, and the farthest place seemed to be the sky and the sea were connected, and they were already one.

Fish leap out of the sea, attracting exclamations, and seabirds unshy anchor on masts, staring at the food in the hands of their guests.

What a beautiful day!

Su Shanyun sighed in her heart.

It was her first trip since she was reborn.

Go to a place that is bigger and closer to the capital than the island city.

For the time being, put aside the annoying Liao Zhongfang, Bai Yinghuai, Mrs. Zuo and those clever matchmakers, and go to another place to open your eyes. Perhaps, when she returns, she will be a stronger version of herself, right? At that time, I may not have been afraid of this group of people at all.
