Chapter 113: Frequent Visits to Jintaifang
Su Man returned to Yiranzhai with a heavy heart, and didn't even change his clothes when he went back, so he lay straight on the bed.
Hongmei stood beside Su Man, looking at her girl's unhappy face, and stopped talking.
Su Man's mind is now full of whether Queen Ji's pregnancy will cause any variables, for some reason, she thinks that Queen Ji is pregnant, she feels a little uneasy in her heart, and always feels that she has missed something important.
Hongmei naturally didn't know what her girl was thinking, she only thought that Su Man was unhappy because Lu Yan was moving away.
Hongmei endured and endured, but finally she couldn't hold back, moved two steps to Su Man's side, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, in fact, even if Young Master Yan moves away, it's nothing, if you want to see him, but a stick of incense will be enough." ”
Su Man didn't notice what Hongmei said at all, and only hummed sullenly.
Hongmei saw that Su Man still looked like she was so desperate, and she was a little anxious, but she didn't know what to say.
She rubbed her handkerchief and thought for a while, then asked, "Girl, what do you think of Young Master Yan?" ”
Su Man came back to his senses at this time, and after reacting for a while, he remembered what Hongmei asked, and unconsciously chuckled, and replied, "What do I think of Young Master Yan, how can I feel." ”
Hongmei pursed her lips, but decided to ask tactfully: "The maid is saying, now that Young Master Yan is also a serious member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, there will be more and more people who come to the door to say goodbye, what kind of girl do you think can be worthy of Young Master Shangyan?" ”
Hearing Hongmei ask about this, Su Man really thought about it seriously.
She turned over and sat up from the bed, held her chin and thought for a while, thinking about the girls from the noble officials' families she knew in the capital, but she felt that no one could be worthy of Lu Yan.
Su Man put his right hand on his cheek, frowning and thinking about it, Hongmei saw her like this, but her heart suddenly lifted, and she cautiously tried to say, "Who did the girl think of?" ”
Su Man thought about it for a while, and finally gave up, fell on the bed with a bang, and hummed: "He is not in a hurry about his family affairs, what am I dreaming about here, besides, with his grandmother and mother in charge of him, he will never match him with a girl casually." ”
Hongmei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and echoed with a smile: "What the girl said is that the maid thinks too much." ”
Su Man listened to Hongmei's words, as if he suddenly thought of something, sat up suddenly, stared at Hongmei tightly for a while, and asked with some hesitation: "Hongmei, okay, what are you doing when you mention your brother, isn't it ......?"
Su Man said and looked Hongmei up and down, and the thoughts in his heart were even firmer, "It's not you who ...... to your brother."
Su Man didn't finish his words, but the meaning of these words couldn't be clearer.
Hongmei didn't understand anything, her face immediately burned red, and she waved her hand and denied: "Girl, where are you thinking, what do you have to think about?" ”
Su Man smiled: "What's so embarrassing about this, my brother is such an excellent man, and he looks so good-looking, it's normal to have a girl's spring heart sprout." ”
Hongmei looked at Su Man's smile on his face, and felt even more embarrassed, stomped her feet, and escaped from the inner room under the pretext of bringing Su Man hot water in.
Su Man sat cross-legged on the bed, and the smile on his face gradually converged.
He and Lu Yan seem to be a little close, no wonder Hongmei misunderstands herself.
This era is really harsh on the relationship between men and women, and so is I, why is my brain hot today, and I say that the relationship is not ordinary.
Su Man hugged his head with some annoyance and leaned on the bed again.
……
Lu Yan's move out of the Su Mansion is not small, at least everyone in Beijing who should know knows it.
After Su Man struggled all night that night, he threw those messy thoughts aside.
It doesn't matter what others think, you just have a clear conscience.
Therefore, Su Man began to enter and exit Lu Yan's house in Jintaifang generously, often going all day.
Old Madam Su didn't feel inappropriate about Su Man's behavior, and only asked her to clean up the mansion for Lu Yan, and didn't say much.
Xie Shi will not object, she is even very pleased that Su Man can help Lu Yan decorate the mansion, and feels that her own girl has finally grown up and knows that she can help her family share the burden.
Therefore, Su Man has spent all day in the Lu Mansion in Jintaifang recently.
Su Man didn't know when Lu Yan started to think about opening a mansion alone, and it must have been a short time to buy this mansion, saying that she was asked to clean up and arrange it, but in fact, most of the things in the house have already been put together.
Lu Yan's house is much smaller than that of Su Mansion, but there is a cross-courtyard with two roads and five entrances, and there is a small garden in the middle of the two cross-courtyards.
Although the place is not very spacious, only Lu Yan lives alone, which is enough.
When Su Man first came to this house, an old man with white hair in the courtyard immediately greeted him.
The old man saluted respectfully to Su Man, and then said with a smile: "The old slave has seen the eldest girl, and my son-in-law has explained it early in the morning, saying that the eldest girl will come to help decorate the mansion in the next few days, and ask the old slave to help with it." ”
Su Man snorted, and before she could ask, the old man smiled and continued: "The old slave's surname is Gu, and the girl can call the old slave Gu." The old slave has the favor of the son, and takes care of the size of the house for the son, and if the eldest girl has any instructions, just tell the old slave. ”
Su Man knew that this was the chief steward of her brother's house, she owed a slight debt to Lao Gu, and said with a smile: "Steward Gu is polite, I am young, and there are still many things I don't understand, and I have to worry about Steward Gu to remind me a lot." ”
The old Gu hurriedly waved his hand, said that he didn't dare, and let Su Man into the outer courtyard with a smile on his face.
This outer courtyard is where Lu Yan will live, and the things in the courtyard have almost been placed, and Su Man walked in and in, and he probably had a spectrum in his heart.
This five-entry courtyard is located on the west side of the mansion, the second hall is made into a flower hall, and the third main room is supposed to be arranged by Lu Yan as an outer study, and the cages of various sizes are placed in the middle of the courtyard, and a little girl is opening the cage to move all kinds of books inside.
Further back is the main house, although the courtyard of the main house is a little empty, but the furniture and everything have been put together.
Su Man spent two days decorating the outer courtyard, although the girls were doing the work, but she was still tired enough.
On this day, Su Man originally wanted to rest at home for a day, but when he thought about it, Jintaifang sent a familiar mother-in-law to invite her, saying that there were still some things for the eldest girl to take the idea in person.
Su Man didn't want to go, but since he had already agreed to Lu Yan, he couldn't pick on this thing halfway. No, she had to resign herself to changing her clothes and went out in a small sedan chair.
When Su Man entered the door, she saw Lao Gu coming over with a smile, she bowed her head slightly, and asked softly, "Steward Gu is in such a hurry to invite me over, but what's the hurry?" ”
Lao Gu laughed twice, and replied respectfully: "Yesterday, our master came back, and I heard that the courtyard in the east has not been cleaned up, so I am very unhappy, and the little one has to lick his face and invite you back again, which is annoying to the big girl." ”
When Su Man heard this, his eyebrows were raised, and he snorted: "The courtyard on the East Road should be the inner house in the house, isn't it just right to clean up when your grandfather gets married, what's the hurry at this time." ”
