Chapter 8 Change

After seeing Guo Shi out of the Hanging Flower Gate, Su Shanyun and Su Ziming slowly walked inside from the hand-copying verandah.

As night falls, candles are lit in the house, and the light is projected through the magpie-patterned windows, adding a warm and peaceful atmosphere to the courtyard.

That's what home feels like, right? That's nice! The corners of Su Shanyun's eyes were a little moist.

"Daddy is amazing! The sentence "But I believe in the eye" choked back my aunt's words. Su Shanyun said with a smile.

Su Ziming chuckled twice: "Yes, Shanyun, I want to be as loyal to my heart as possible in the things I can choose, besides, I don't want to have anything to do with their Guo family at all." ”

Su Shanyun nodded.

"You didn't encounter anything when you went to Yingguo Temple to ask for a visa today, right?" Su Ziming asked her.

Su Shanyun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Do you want to tell him about Li He hitting her palanquin?

But his father didn't know Li He, and he didn't know about those things in his previous life, so it was better not to sue him. So Su Shanyun replied softly: "I didn't encounter anything, and the journey was smooth." Then she told Su Ziming the contents of the sign.

"What I'm asking for you is a lottery, so Daddy, you will definitely be able to marry a wishful lady."

Su Ziming was a little moved, looked at Su Shanyun and said seriously: "Daddy will find a gentle and graceful stepmother for you, don't worry." It's getting late, so let's go to dinner, and rest early after eating. ”

"Well, then Daddy should also eat and rest early."

"Okay, by the way, Daddy is going to the old house early tomorrow morning, so he won't be at home in the morning, and I will tell the housekeeper to inform the matchmakers who ask to see them, so that they can come back in the afternoon, so you don't have to make a plan for me."

Hearing that Daddy was going to the old mansion, Su Shanyun became a little curious. The old house was left by my grandfather and uncle's generation, because my grandmother had refused to sell it, so the door was locked on weekdays, and now it was not a festival, what did my father do there?

"Daddy, over there in the big house...... Can I help you? Su Shanyun hurriedly asked.

Seeing that Su Shanyun, who rarely asks about these things on weekdays, suddenly asked like this, Su Ziming was quite pleased, and he said: "This matter is a long story, and it has something to do with your aunt." ”

"Huh?" Su Shanyun was a little surprised.

Seeing that Su Shanyun didn't know, Su Ziming said, "Go into the house, I'll tell you about it." ”

So the two sat down at the round table, and Su Ziming began to talk about it.

"This old mansion was bought by your grandfather and uncle back then, you know this, right?" Su Ziming asked her.

"Well, I've heard you mention it." Su Shanyun replied seriously.

She loved hearing her father tell her about the family history.

"Back then, your grandfather and your uncle lost their father at a very young age, and their mother brought them up. The two of them have a very good relationship, and they are very competitive, and they have been admitted to the Jinshi, your uncle later became an official to the household department member Wailang, and your grandfather was an official to Guanglu Siqing, so the two discussed to put a big house in their hometown so that they could have a decent and comfortable place to settle down when they returned to their hometowns in the future. I don't want to rebel Liu Baixi to step down that year, because your uncle and he are staff relations, so he was also impeached, and soon was demoted to Wanzhou, Sichuan to be the state judge, so when he bought this house, he could only take out 3,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 8,000 taels were from your grandfather, and now your cousin and aunt think that the old mansion is empty and it is a waste, it is better to sell it and get some real money, so I have been shouting to your cousin, your cousin has no choice, so he raised this matter to your grandmother and me. ”

Su Ziming was afraid that Su Shanyun wouldn't understand, so he deliberately spoke very slowly, but Su Shanyun understood everything as soon as he heard it.

"Is there a sign in the real estate deed who paid how many taels?" Su Shanyun asked Su Ziming.

"You're pretty smart at the critical moment!" Su Ziming scratched her beautiful nose approvingly and said, then added with a smile: "Of course, it is clearly written." ”

"That's good." Su Shanyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is a Beijing official who has returned to his hometown who just wants to buy a set of three-entry courtyards, and he has made an appointment to see it tomorrow morning, so I have to go over."

"Hmm."

"Then you can hurry up and have dinner. Oh, by the way, your cousin will be here the morning after tomorrow, and you can tell the people to clean up the guest room tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I'll take care of that."

Su Ziming smiled and went back to his room.

……

After dinner, Su Shanyun went to bed early and lay down, but she didn't fall asleep, she remembered Li He's incident again.

Fortunately, when he bumped into her palanquin, she covered most of her face with a handkerchief, so that he could not get a glimpse of her face, but since she had those memories of her previous life, she was always a little uneasy when she thought of this person.

It always felt like he was going to come to her someday.

But for a while, she didn't think of a way to deal with it.

So she didn't sleep well that night.

Early the next morning, she called her family Ding Jiuzhu over and said, "I want you to help me go to No. 12 Liushu Street, Xichengmen to inquire about someone, but I can't let him know." With that, she wrote Li He's name to him.

Jiuzhu is about ten years old, the son of Steward Luo, loyal and honest, and knows martial arts, so Su Shanyun will ask him to do anything important that is inconvenient for him to do.

"If there is such a person there, you can check who is in his house, and if there is no such person at this address, you can inquire around there." Su Shanyun added.

"Does the master know about this?" Jiuzhu was a little hesitant. If he did anything else, he would do it without saying a word, but the eldest lady asked him to check on a man's family situation, and it would be difficult to explain if something happened in the future.

"You don't need to let the master know, don't worry, I don't want to have anything to do with this person, and I won't let him know about my deposit, I just want to know if there is such a person there."

What is it like to inquire about that person but not want that person to know that she is inquiring? Jiuzhu was a little confused. But he found that Su Shanyun's face did not have the slightest malice, but was very solemn, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed.

"Go, go and come back, don't tell anyone about this."

"Well, the little one knows." Jiuzhu arched his hand towards Su Shanyun and walked out.

Su Shanyun breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she didn't have an idea about Li He's affairs now, so she thought it would be better to get to know him first, and see what kind of reason in the family environment, social factors, or personal psychology led to his extreme behavior. If she could slowly figure out his temper and character, maybe she would be able to figure out a way to avoid that incident.

If only he lived there in this life.

Su Shanyun prayed secretly.

The curtain was lifted, and Green Lotus walked in.

"Good morning, Miss!"

"Well, what about Mama Song?"

"She's going to the kitchen and bring you breakfast."

"Okay."

After breakfast, Su Shanyun wrote a menu and handed it to the kitchen, asking them to prepare the ingredients according to the menu today.

It is full of dishes that her cousin likes to eat, and Su Shanyun hopes that they can feel at home when they come here.

Then she took Green Lotus, Mama Song, and Chaolu to clean up the guest room.

Cousin Qing was a scholar, so she arranged in his room the four treasures of the study, calligraphy and painting, the eight-treasure pattern qin, the rui beast pattern smoker, incense utensils, pen holders, ink cartridges, water injections, paper weights, plum blossom fans and blue and white porcelain tea sets.

After preparing these, she asked Mama Song to go to Duobao Pavilion to get a Ru Kiln Flower Goblet and put it in the desk room, so that she could pick some flowers and insert them tomorrow.

Cousin Rou likes female red and painting, so Su Shanyun arranged her room with various colors of silk threads and fabrics, embroidery needles, round incense tables, sandalwood heads, rice paper, pigments, ladies pattern screens, incense utensils, peony pattern fans, embroidered handkerchiefs, rouge, silver carved comb grates and sunflower bronze mirrors. She also placed a Ru kiln flower on her windowsill.

Then prepare a thick and a thin quilt for each room.

Looking at the furnished room, Su Shan felt very satisfied, so he walked out of the guest room with the three of them.

After returning to his boudoir and sitting down to take a few sips of tea, Su Shanyun said to Mama Song: "In the afternoon, you can teach me to make fire and horse song cakes, I want to make them for my cousins and cousins to taste." ”

The three of them were taken aback, and they didn't expect that the eldest lady, who usually doesn't get ten fingers wet, would take the initiative to invite Yingyin to go down to the kitchen.

Mama Song was overjoyed, and said busily: "Okay, as long as the eldest lady likes to learn, I will teach me attentively." ”

Su Shanyun smiled sheepishly.

The sunlight illuminated every corner of the room, and Su Shanyun suddenly felt that life was alive all of a sudden, and she walked to the window to open it.

The smell of flowers in the courtyard came to my nose.

My life will slowly brighten up, right? Su Shanyun looked at the flowers in the yard and said in her heart.
