Chapter XVIII

After bathing and changing clothes, Su Shanyun suddenly felt refreshed, but she didn't know whether it was because of the cold or her weak body and began to cough, she hurriedly called Mama Song to the kitchen to cook her a bowl of Chuanbei Sydney soup.

In her previous life, she suffered from coughing, and she coughed up blood as long as she coughed, and in this life, she didn't want to fall ill because of this.

Lying on her side on the pear blossom wood carved Arhat bed, she began to think back to the situation when she saw Li He today.

Although he has only made initial contact, she thinks he is still a very smart and motivated person, although he seems to be a little tall and withdrawn, but he is not stubborn.

She tries to approach him as a man in order to establish a friendship with him first, in order to understand his character, listen to him, and share his joys. She thought that one day when she had a good understanding of him as a person, she would know how to help him avoid the tragedy of his previous life.

When she met him on the 27th of the next month, she was going to talk to him about family life, but she thought so secretly in her heart, and fell asleep unconsciously.

……………

When Su Ziming came back, Su Shanyun was taking classes in the school, and when she got out of class, she saw Steward Luo walking towards her, and she knew that Daddy had come back from the capital, so she hurriedly carried her skirt and ran to Dongliju.

"Daddy, Daddy." Before entering the door, Su Shanyun called Su Ziming eagerly.

Su Ziming, who was talking with Mrs. Xiao, couldn't help but raise his eyes and look out the door.

But seeing Su Shanyun trotting in all the way, that little face also turned red because of running.

Su Ziming's originally heavy mood suddenly brightened.

"Don't run too fast, watch out for the threshold." Su Ziming hurriedly said, and couldn't help but stand up.

"It's okay, I'll watch it." Su Shanyun said, crossing the threshold very lightly and came to their side.

Seeing her coming, Su Ziming and Mrs. Xiao both had warm smiles on their faces.

"Daddy, the Miss Zhang family and you...... Fall in love? Su Shanyun asked before she sat down.

A faint blush appeared on Su Ziming's face, and he pursed his lips and nodded.

"So you're in love with each other, right?" Su Shanyun asked excitedly, and a small face leaned in front of Su Ziming, as if he had to get a definite answer.

Su Ziming bowed his head with a reserved face, smiled and said: "Yes, I didn't expect her to take a fancy to me, and later when Fang Shiqin sued me, I thought I had heard it wrong, because when I met her, she was very, very calm and calm, and the thoughts in her heart were not revealed on her face at all, only a pair of bright big eyes would sweep over my cheeks from time to time, and I almost wanted to give up at that time." After speaking, Su Ziming smiled and held his head, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Does that mean it's done?" Su Shanyun asked again.

"No, her grandfather seemed to be a little hesitant, saying that it was a pity that I was managing the affairs at home at a young age, so I immediately told him that I would seek an official position in the island city after I returned, so that I could take care of the family's affairs and re-enter the official career, so after I decided on the official position, I would go to Beijing again to see her and Master Zhang." Su Ziming said.

Su Shanyun rarely saw that her father would be willing to change herself for others, so she could imagine the influence that woman had on her father.

But that's fine, she and her grandmother also think that her father's housekeeping at home is a bit overkill, and it would be a great thing if he could come out again because of such an opportunity.

"I've been working in Beijing before, but I don't have many friends here in the island city, and now all positions are so scarce, so I've been going out and walking around a lot lately." Su Ziming said to Mrs. Xiao and Su Shanyun with a serious face.

"Well, you have been in Beijing before to become the deputy director of the Wupin Sect Mansion, and you have already accumulated a certain amount of ability and prestige, so it shouldn't be difficult to get someone to introduce you this time." Mrs. Xiao comforted.

"Master Zhang also said that he was willing to introduce me, but I felt that it would be too incompetent if I had to ask him to help with this, so I refused, and I figured out my own ability to do it." Su Ziming said in a firm tone.

Mrs. Xiao patted the back of his hand with great relief: "Well, my son has never been a soft bone!" ”

The next day, Su Ziming went out after handling the housework and didn't come back until late.

After that, he also went out early and returned late every day.

Eight days later, in the evening, as soon as he entered the house, he said to Mrs. Xiao and Su Shanyun with a smile on his face: "Mother, Shanyun, I have obtained an official position." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Xiao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked him which department he was.

Su Ziming sat down opposite them and said with a serious face: "A few days ago, I met Bao Zimin, a subordinate of the prefect Liu Fax, through the recommendation of others, and I didn't want the two to talk very well, so he introduced me to Liu Fax, and it happened that one of Liu Fax's subordinates will reach retirement age next year, so I immediately recommended myself and finally got the position of Tongzhi." ”

Tongzhi is a foreign official in Beijing who is the fifth grade, and he is even higher than the deputy director of the Zongren Mansion that Su Ziming previously served in Beijing, so when Mrs. Xiao and Su Shanyun heard the news, they were very happy.

But Su Ziming was not very excited, he said with some frustration: "It's just that I can't take office until next year, and I don't know if Lord Zhang will also postpone my relationship with Miss Zhang until next year." ”

It doesn't matter if he waits another year, but Miss Zhang is not young after all, and if it drags on, he is worried that she will have a difficult birth at that time. Of course, he also wanted to marry her back as soon as possible, after all, she was quite famous in the capital, and there were many people who pursued her, and he was afraid that this family affair would change halfway.

Moreover, he had made up his mind to marry her from the first time he saw her, so he didn't want to keep falling in love like this.

"Then why don't you discuss with Master Zhang to marry Miss Zhang back before taking office? Anyway, with your ability, even if the position of the same acquaintance changes, you won't worry about not being able to get a good official position. Mrs. Xiao said.

"That's what I mean, so I'm going to go to Beijing again the day after tomorrow." Su Ziming said.

"Okay, then do what you want." Mrs. Xiao smiled and poured him tea.

Su Shanyun also felt in a good mood when she heard this, and she still had a smile on her face when she said goodbye to them and returned to her boudoir.

The next morning, after class, Su Shanyun went to the small bookstore to paint.

Whenever she was in a good mood, she would draw at the window of the small book club.

She liked this place because it was close to the backyard, the environment was quiet, there was a lake and a bridge not far from the window, the willows drooped from the bridge, the breeze gently blowing the lake, and the birds chirping from the trees from time to time, this peaceful and beautiful scene could calm her mind.

She stood in front of the carved sandalwood desk near the window, drawing a picture of a lady with a focused expression.

Imagining the beautiful face and shy posture of the lady in her heart, Su Shanyun also held her breath when she put down the pen, as if she was afraid that the whole painting would be ruined because of a little mistake.

She was so absorbed in her painting that she was oblivious to the burning gaze cast by the window.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy standing not far from her window had been staring at her for a long, long time, his eyes full of amazement.

The woman standing quietly in front of the window has curved eyebrows, a charming posture, cherry lips, a thin waist like a willow, a slender jade hand, and affectionate eyes.

How nice it would be if such a beautiful woman became my wife one day! The boy couldn't help but dream in his heart, and his mind couldn't help but flash the beautiful scenery described in those books.

Su Shanyun, who had painted the portrait of the lady, finally breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and looked out the window, but didn't want to see Liao Zhongfang who was staring at him without blinking, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...... How did you end up here? ”

Liao Zhongfang immediately approached her window, and she hurriedly said, "Don't come over again." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll be standing here, don't be afraid. I wanted to come to ask your father for a few questions today, but I didn't want to come here, we haven't seen each other for a while, and I really want to see you, and you refuse to come to my house as a guest......"

Su Shanyun only felt a buzzing in her head, and she didn't know what he said later, only knowing that she said with a straight face: "Please leave immediately, otherwise I will call someone." ”

"Don't don't, I'll leave soon, I'll look at you a few more times and leave." Liao Zhongfang took a few steps forward, his gaze was as hot as the daylight at noon, and he stared at Su Shanyun's face so boldly.

It's a veritable disciple!

Su Shanyun trembled with anger.

When he was thinking about whether to call someone, he suddenly heard the voices of Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Xiao talking from far and near.

"I didn't know that there was such a quiet place in your house, and it was so beautifully decorated, it made people like it when they looked at it." It was Mrs. Zuo's voice.

Su Shanyun snorted coldly in her heart.

Eighty percent of the time Mrs. Zuo figured out the layout of her house and asked him to go this way, and she pretended not to know anything in front of her grandmother. Isn't it just to deliberately create some trouble when you come here at such a time?

The more Su Shanyun thought about it, the more angry she felt, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand and closed the window with a bang.
