What's even worse is that Su Man hasn't seen Lu Yan for seven or eight days in a row.

Although she secretly made up her mind to keep her distance from Lu Yan, there was such a big change in the palace, where did she still care about her own ideas.

She also asked Tang Niangzi to go to Jintaifang to spread the word, but Tang Niangzi shook her head with her every time she came back, saying that she hadn't seen Lu Yan in Jintaifang for several days.

Su Man was a little anxious in his heart.

He is just a small four-grade Shaozhan thing, where can he use the things in this palace to guard day and night.

Something must have gone wrong.

The more Su Man thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, now that the development of these things was getting farther and farther away from what the original owner said, she didn't know whether this change was good or bad.

She felt that she urgently needed someone to discuss now, but the only person who could negotiate was that she couldn't even see the figure.

Su Man felt uneasy, very uneasy.

But there is no way to say this kind of uneasiness to others, even Tang Niangzi looks like she doesn't care, saying that there must be a lot of things going on in the East Palace, and it is normal not to see people, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

But where can she not be careful, she naturally knows that nothing will happen to Lu Yan, what kind of thing can happen to him, a future cabinet chief.

Now it's her, and there's something going on here.

Su Man spent another two or three days in this kind of pain of secretly entangled and unable to speak to people, and did not wait for Lu Yan, but waited for the letter of Uncle Zhongyong.

The letter was naturally sent directly to the Compassion Academy, and after Mrs. Su read the letter, she slowly asked someone to send the news to Shaohuayuan and her.

When Su Man came over, Xie had already arrived, and she was sitting on the Taishi chair beside Old Madam Su, holding the letter and watching.

When Mrs. Su saw her coming, she beckoned to her and said with a smile: "When we entered the palace, I asked someone to send a letter to your father, and it was nearly a month before this letter was sent back." ”

Su Man walked over, first saluted Mrs. Su, and then sat next to her, and asked with a smile: "Is everything okay with my father in Liaodong?" How is my brother? I've heard that Liaodong is very cold, so I'm afraid it's time to get hot now. ”

Old Madam Su smiled and said, "Okay, your father said that everything is fine with him, so that we don't have to worry about it." ”

Su Man also smiled and said, "Grandmother, did my father say when he would be able to come back?" ”

The smile on Old Madam Su's face froze slightly, and she sighed for a while before she sighed and said, "Your father didn't mention this, after all, he has only been gone for a few months, and he will definitely not come back after a year and a half." ”

Su Man was a little disappointed when she heard this, although she knew that Su Zhen's guarding of Liaodong was already the norm for her family, but at this time, there were so many changes in Beijing, and Su Zhen, the head of the family, was not there, she felt a little uneasy.

However, she suppressed this uneasiness, and continued to smile at Old Madam Su, and said, "Now that the Liaodong border is also peaceful, there will be no danger for my father and brother to stay there." ”

When Old Madam Su heard Su Man's words, the smile on her face became even more reluctant. She nodded, did not continue the topic with Su Man, but looked at Xie Shi and said: "They are not in the mansion, my old wife doesn't think there is anything, it just hurts you, you are pregnant, and you have to take care of the house, and he can't help a man at all." ”

Xie had already finished reading the letter at this time, and he didn't know what Su Zhen had written in the letter to her, and Xie's eyes were a little red.

She carefully folded the letterhead in her hand and handed it to the rouge beside her, then she took out a handkerchief and rubbed the corners of her eyes, and smiled at Mrs. Su: "Look at what you said, my daughter-in-law has known since the day she married into the Su family that her daughter-in-law, her husband, is going to do great things, so how can she stay by her daughter-in-law's side all day long." ”

Old Madam Su smiled and patted Xie's hand, and then motioned to Mother Zhou on the side: "Go and get the letter from the eldest girl." ”

Su Man was a little surprised, her father actually wrote a letter to her?

Mother Zhou immediately walked out with a smile when she heard this, but after a while, she walked back with a wooden box.

Su Man stood up curiously, took the box from Zhou's mother's hand, shook it twice, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Mother Zhou said with a smile: "This is what the prince asked someone to bring back, saying that it was to be given to the eldest girl, and the old slave didn't know what was in this box." ”

Su Man sighed, put the box on the kang table, and felt that there was nothing to avoid, so he directly lifted the lid of the box.

Inside the box was a wooden comb with a somewhat rough workmanship, as well as a letter.

Su Man took the letter and scanned it, and at a glance recognized that the dog-like words were from Su Che's handwriting.

She tossed the letter aside, reached for the comb, and examined it carefully.

This comb is not particularly pretty, with a simple and quaint shape and a simple floral pattern carved on the back.

Su Man looked carefully, but he couldn't tell what kind of flower was carved on it.

She played with the comb in her hand for a while, and then turned her head a little funny and asked Mrs. Su: "Grandmother, isn't there anything special about the comb in Liaodong?" ”

Mrs. Su was not surprised to see the wooden comb, and explained to her with a smile: "This wooden comb is a popular ornament for women in Liaodong, saying that it is simple and generous to pull up your hair and don't put it in a bun. Old Madam Su said, stretched out her hand and pointed at the Xie family, "Your mother should also have one." ”

Xie nodded with a smile and said, "It's the first time my uncle has come back from Liaodong, and he brought a similar one back to his daughter-in-law." ”

Su Man sighed, and felt that this wooden comb was not so ugly.

She smiled and put the wooden comb back into the box, and after holding the box, she wanted to go out: "Grandmother, I'll put this back first, and I'll come back to you later." ”

Old Madam Su smiled and waved her hand: "Go back, don't forget to reply to your eldest brother." ”

Su Man responded crisply, turned his head and ran out, and only then did he leave the yard, and collided with Lu Yan who strode in.

Su Man was startled when he saw Lu Yan, and subconsciously said, "You are finally willing to appear." ”

Lu Yan was not surprised to see Su Man, he only lowered his head and asked her with a smile: "Brother Che brought you something back?" ”

Su Man nodded, and was about to say that his father had sent a letter back, but he felt that he must have known about it before he came over, so he swallowed the words back.

Lu Yan was not in a hurry, he just stood in front of Su Man and stared at her with a smile, until Su Man looked a little uncomfortable, and then said with a smile: "I will go to say hello to the old lady first, and then I will talk to you about the affairs in the palace when I come back." ”
