Chapter 43: The High Gate
When the ship arrived at the pier in the capital, it was already dark, but the pier was lit up everywhere, so it still looked bright. Su Shanyun saw a middle-aged man beckoning to Mrs. Lu and Yan Jinxuan from a distance, and three carriages were parked behind him, and there were several servants and maids standing next to the carriages.
Needless to say, this is the Yan family coming to pick them up.
Mrs. Lu and Yan Jinxuan beckoned to them, and the middle-aged man instructed everyone to drive the carriage over.
After settling the luggage and people, the group went straight to Lingji Hutong, where Yanfu was located.
When she arrived at the gate, Su Shanyun saw a few people coming out of it, they smiled at Mrs. Lu and Yan Jinxuan, and a few young people saluted them respectfully.
Su Shanyun took a look and saw that there were three men and two women, both in terms of clothing and temperament.
They should be Yan Jinxuan's relatives!
The group didn't say much, and entered the house hand in hand.
Entering the hanging flower gate, Su Shanyun saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, the maids all came forward to salute, and some of them rushed into the hall with refreshments.
Su Shanyun watched while walking, and after a while, she came to the living room with everyone.
She saw that this was a large mansion with four entrances and four exits, and the layout inside was atmospheric and elegant, from pavilions and pavilions to tables, chairs and benches, all revealing a strong cultural heritage, so at a glance it was a typical scholar's house.
When she came to the living room, she was still sitting next to Mrs. Lu.
A little girl like her was not qualified to introduce herself to everyone, so she didn't say a word, just sat there obediently with a polite smile on her face.
"This is the niece of Hubu Shangshu, named Su Shanyun." Mrs. Lu suddenly introduced everyone with a smile, and everyone's eyes looked at her in unison.
Suddenly becoming the focus of attention made her a little at a loss, her face flushed, and she hurriedly got up and blessed everyone.
Mrs. Lu introduced her one by one according to her dignity and humility.
"This is the ancestor of our family, you can call her Mrs. Lin." Mrs. Lu pointed to the oldest old lady in the living room.
That is Mrs. Lu's mother-in-law and Lord Yan's mother.
Su Shanyun hurriedly called out to her respectfully: "Old Madam Lin." β
This old lady Lin is about seventy years old, with a kind face, bright eyes, silver hair pinned with an old silver hairpin, wearing a green and blue soft silk gown and a purple long skirt, wearing a red jewel around her neck, and the whole dress is very dignified and decent.
Mrs. Lin looked at Su Shanyun carefully and said with a smile: "What a Peugeot person!" How old is this year? β
The voice is full of energy.
"Twelve." Su Shanyun replied respectfully.
Mrs. Lin nodded and said, "In a few years, maybe it will grow even more beautiful." β
Everyone in the room seemed to agree, with smiles on their faces.
Su Shanyun's face turned red again.
Mrs. Lu then introduced Yan Yunpei: "Lord Yan." β
Su Shanyun saw that he was about fifty years old, with a beard, an extraordinary aura, a dignified body, deep and sharp eyes, not angry but mighty, and he looked like a person who had been in a high position all year round. Su Shanyun was stunned by his sweeping eyes, and it took a while to stabilize his mind and call out respectfully: "Lord Yan." β
Then there is Yan Jinhao, that is, Yan Jinxuan's brother.
He was about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and handsome facial features, compared to Lord Yan, he seemed much gentle.
Yan Jinxuan's younger brother Yan Jinrui is about twenty-two or three years old, elegant and handsome, and personable, like a person who likes to recite poetry and write against him, but this is also in line with his status as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
Finally, Yan Jinhao's wife, Zhang Hanlin, is the daughter of Zhang Qian, a cabinet scholar, about early twenties, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, bright and moving, and quite imposing in demeanor. She was carrying a little boy of about two or three years old, presumably her son. Hearing Mrs. Lu's introduction, she just nodded at Su Shanyun almost invisibly, and no longer made eye contact with Su Shanyun.
Su Shanyun vaguely felt that she didn't seem to like herself very much, but in fact, Su Shanyun noticed it from her eyes when they met each other at the gate.
At that time, Su Shanyun also found that Mrs. Lu seemed to be a little afraid of the Zhang family.
It seems that she should be a very powerful character to be feared by a person like Mrs. Lu, Su Shanyun thought secretly in her heart. So I didn't dare to say anything more, and sat down gently.
Su Shanyun really didn't expect Mrs. Su to introduce herself to everyone, so she was still a little cramped after sitting down. But she was not good at dealing with strangers, so she didn't know what to say, so she had to sit quietly and carefully.
The room fell into a moment of calm, and then Mrs. Lin asked Mrs. Lu about Tianjin, and everyone began to talk again.
But Su Shanyun knew that he had no right to speak, so he had to listen to everyone quietly, but his heart was always in a state of tension.
She unconsciously raised her eyes to look at Yan Jinxuan, and found that he seemed to be looking at her as well, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
After a while, a maid came to inform: "Dinner is ready." β
So everyone took their seats one by one according to their dignity.
Su Shanyun sat at the same table with Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lu, and Zhang, and the four big men of the Yan family sat at a table, and the two tables were not separated by screens, so it was more homely.
After the meal, the four men of the Yan family entered the 'Heming Xuan' to discuss the matter.
Mrs. Lin was also helped by the maids to go to the bedroom to rest.
Su Shanyun's guest room was also cleaned up by the people arranged by Mrs. Lu.
"The location is close to the garden, you can fall asleep smelling the flowers." Mrs. Lu smiled at her as she instructed someone to prepare hot water for her bath.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lu!" Su Shanyun said busily.
She has always been grateful to be taken care of by Mrs. Lu like this, and she is even more determined to find a way to help the Yan family avoid the disaster of being beheaded six years later.
"Your second uncle is about half an hour's way from here, so it's inconvenient to rush over tonight, Erlang has already arranged for someone to escort you over tomorrow, you don't need to worry." Mrs. Lu patted the back of her hand again and said with a smile.
Su Shanyun nodded.
While talking, a maid came into the news: "The doctor that the second master invited for Miss Su is here." β
Mrs. Lu and Su Shanyun were both taken aback.
Then Mrs. Lu said, "Hurry up, please come in." β
After that, he took Su Shanyun's hand and walked out of the outer hall.
In the case of an emergency, I don't forget to care about her head injury, Second Master Yan is really considerate! Blessed is the woman who was betrothed to him. She thought to herself as she walked.
Later, Su Shanyun learned that the doctor was the most famous doctor in the capital, and many people had to schedule if they wanted to invite him, but Second Master Yan had a deep friendship with him, so he could be on call.
The doctor carefully inquired about Su Shanyun's reaction, checked the wound on her forehead, and said softly, "It's not a big problem. β
He prescribed her a few pills.
When Mrs. Lu was about to ask the maid to decoct the medicine, Yan Jinxuan suddenly walked in.
"She's not suitable for taking medicine for the time being these days, let's take a few days." Yan Jinxuan said.
Su Shanyun immediately understood what he meantβhe felt that these medicines were all blood circulation and blood stasis, and he was worried that it would increase the amount of sunflower water she had.
She immediately blushed, but she felt very warm in her heart, a kind of warmth that was cared for and valued.
Mrs. Lu is also a smart person, so she nodded clearly.
But how could Yan Jinxuan know these things? Mrs. Lu was a little puzzled.
But Yan Jinxuan has always been attentive to things, and it is not strange to be able to see it, so Mrs. Lu no longer dwelled on this matter, told Su Shanyun a few words, and went back to the room.
