When Lu Yan entered the Compassion Courtyard, the Xie family had already taken Xie Ying and Su Man back, and Mrs. Su was the only one left in the courtyard.

When Lu Yan lifted the curtain and went in, Mrs. Su was leaning on the big pillow and talking to Zhou's mother. Seeing Lu Yan coming, she hurriedly beckoned and motioned for Lu Yan to sit down and speak.

Lu Yan bowed, and then sat down opposite Mrs. Su, and before he could speak, Mrs. Su took the lead in asking: "You are very busy these days, I heard that the emperor is busy choosing a concubine for the crown prince?" ”

Lu Yan nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, so I didn't come over to greet you during this time, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

Old Madam Su waved her hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that you young people are busy, but no matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your body, but don't tire yourself." ”

Lu Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, you can rest assured, everything is fine with the juniors." ”

Old Madam Su hummed lightly, and then asked casually, "Brother Yan'er is twenty-one this year." ”

When Lu Yan heard Mrs. Su mention her age, her heart sank, but her face was not obvious, and she still replied with a smile: "Yes." ”

Old Madam Su bowed slightly, and said with emotion: "It's also embarrassing for you, you have been alone for so many years, and there is no one to serve by your side." ”

Lu Yan didn't seem to understand Old Madam Su's voice, and replied with a smile: "Old Madam's words are serious, the younger generation has always regarded you as their own relative, how can you be alone." ”

Old Madam Su scolded with a smile: "You kid, you clearly know what I mean. ”

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "What do you mean, the juniors naturally understand, if you enter the door for a few more months, the juniors will really not be alone." ”

Hearing Lu Yan say this, Mrs. Su was naturally very happy in her heart, but thinking that her granddaughter was still young after all, she had to say ruthlessly: "Although she will marry in the autumn, she is still young and not sensible after all, so it would be good if she didn't let her, where can I take care of you." ”

Lu Yan immediately understood what Old Madam Su meant, in fact, he had already planned in his heart to treat each other as a brother and sister before the little girl and Lu.

Old Madam Su saw that Lu Yan understood what she meant, so she stopped going around the bend and said directly: "Originally, this should not be said by me, who is a grandmother, but as you said, I think you are the same as Brother Che, if you are in someone else's house, there would have been a room next to your brother of this age, and we didn't think about it." ”

Lu Yan heard Mrs. Su say directly, and he also said clearly: "I understand what you mean, old lady, and I have already made a plan to treat Manman as a brother and sister first." ”

In fact, Old Madam Su also thought of this possibility before she spoke, but when she really heard Lu Yan say it, she felt surprised and very relieved at the same time.

"I know you're a sensible child, but it's because you're sensible that grandmother can't treat you harshly." Old Madam Su said with a smile, "The new girl in your house, the one named Xiyan, I saw her today, it's a good one." ”

Lu Yan wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Su raised her hand to stop him, with a resolute attitude: "Grandmother is in charge of this matter, I will pick a good day in two days, and ask Mother Zhou to come over and open her face, and you will accept the room." ”

……

Lu Yan came out of the Compassion Courtyard, turned around and wanted to go to Yiranzhai in the back, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he realized that it was a little late at this time.

But the mother-in-law guarding the door had already seen him, and hurriedly greeted him, and saluted with a smile: "Why did Young Master Yan come here at this time?" "Changsha

Lu Yan turned his head to look at the courtyard, and saw that the courtyard was still brightly lit, so he said with a smile: "I have to come over today to say hello to the old lady, thinking that I haven't seen it for a long time, so I came over to take a look." ”

The woman's face was full of smiles: "It's a little late at this time, Young Master Lao Yan, you wait here for a while, and the old slave will go and pass on a message." ”

Lu Yan bowed slightly, and the woman turned around and entered the courtyard.

I don't know what the woman said, but after a while, she turned back and said with an apologetic face: "I've been waiting for you, our girl said she had rested ......"

The woman didn't finish speaking, but Lu Yan said with a smile: "It's me who is reckless, I just think that I haven't seen her for a long time, but I forgot the time." He took two steps back, "Then I won't bother." ”

Seeing that Lu Yan turned around to leave, the mother-in-law thought for a moment and chased after him, stopped Lu Yan, and said softly, "Young Master Yan stays." ”

Lu Yan stopped, lowered his head and looked at the woman suspiciously.

The mother-in-law pursed her lips, as if she was a little entangled, and finally sighed and said: "Young master, don't blame the old slave for talking too much, the girl has been busy with the family affairs of the prince in the past two days, and everyone has lost a lot of weight, the old slave looks at the girl's spirit is not very good, if the young master is usually free, it is better to come and see the girl." ”

Lu Yan listened to this mother-in-law's words, and frowned slightly: "Isn't your girl doing well lately?" ”

Once the woman opened the chatterbox, she couldn't take it anymore, and sighed again and again: "If it's not good, the girl is no different from usual these days, and she eats even more than before, but I don't know why, but people have lost a lot of weight." ”

Lu Yan was a little anxious when he heard this, turned around and walked into the courtyard again: "If you go and pass on a message, just say that I have something important to say to her." ”

The woman answered, and trotted into the courtyard again.

This time, the woman went in for a long time, and it took about a cup of tea to come back again.

She bowed to Lu Yan with a smile and said, "Girl, please come to the west to talk." ”

Lu Yan bowed his head slightly to the mother-in-law, and then strode towards the main room.

When Lu Yan entered the western room, Su Man was already sitting on the kang and waiting.

She was wearing a simple Hangzhou silk jacket, her hair was wet and pulled back of her head, and her face was even more white.

It seems that this little girl is not looking for excuses not to see him, she is really ready to rest.

When Su Man saw Lu Yan, he saluted lightly and said softly, "Why did my brother come here at this time." ”

Lu Yan sat opposite her and laughed softly: "I've been busy lately, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought I would come over today to say hello to the old lady, so I came to see you." ”

Su Man let out a faint sigh, she knew very well why Lu Yan came over today, but she was just pretending to be confused.

She glanced at Hongmei, who was standing beside her, and Hongmei immediately understood and retreated. Su Man said softly: "At this hour, I won't invite my brother to tea, just say what my brother has to say." ”
