Lu Yan was resting today, and Ji Yang originally asked him to go to the moat together, but he always thought that Su Man was going to move to his courtyard in the next few days, so he couldn't feel at ease.

At this time in the previous life, the old lady personally cleaned up the courtyard at the back, and when Su Man came back from the border pass, she moved over directly.

Although there was no reluctance on Manman's face at that time, he knew that Manman's heart was unhappy.

It's been a long time at home, so will she feel unhappy, and will she also move to the small courtyard at the back with a smile?

The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more irritable he felt, and he couldn't write anymore, so he threw away the pen and left the study.

He just came out of the study, and the mother-in-law who gave the congratulatory gift came back with a smile.

"Young master, I have already sent things for the young master, the girl liked it very much, and said that she wanted the old slave to thank the young master."

"She likes it?" Lu Yan pondered for a moment, then asked again, "What else did you say?" ”

The mother-in-law knew that Lu Yan and Su Man had a good relationship, so she didn't feel strange, and after thinking for a while, she replied directly: "When the old slave went, the girl was laughing with Mother Zhou in the yard, as if she was saying that the old lady's Arhat bed was still idle. ”

"The girl was very surprised when she heard that the young master had a congratulatory gift, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. But the girl really liked the bonsai so much that she asked someone to take it and put it on the table in the main hall. ”

"If she likes it, it's fine." Lu Yan looked at her mother-in-law's expression and knew that Su Manying was really happy, so she felt a little relieved.

I told the mother-in-law to retreat, and then I heard the mother-in-law greeting people outside the door: "Yo, why did the girl come here, our young master just talked about you." ”

The girl's crisp voice came in from outside: "I know that Brother Yan is resting today, so I came to thank my brother." ”

"The girl and the young master are still so polite, our young master knows that the girl likes that thing, don't mention how happy she is." The woman's voice was a little flattering, "Come on, girl, wait a while, the old slave will go and pass a message to the young master." ”

"There's Mama Lao."

Lu Yan sat in the large Taishi chair in the study, tapping his fingers on the desk one by one, just waiting for the woman to come.

After a while, I heard the woman smile through the door: "Young master, the eldest girl is here." ”

"Invite someone in."

Lu Yan didn't get up, he was still sitting in the Taishi chair, but his fingers stopped tapping.

The door was pushed open with a creak, Su Man stepped in briskly, and when he saw Lu Yan sitting behind the bookcase, he bent his knees slightly, and said with a smile: "That bonsai little sister likes it very much, so I came to thank my brother." ”

Lu Yan casually pointed to the circle chair on the side, and motioned for Su Man to sit down and speak: "It's just a gadget, it's worth your special run." ”

"My sister hasn't seen her brother for a few days, so she happened to come over and ask my brother for a cup of tea." Su Man sat casually in the circle of chairs, raising his eyes and looking around at the furnishings in the study.

Lu Yan's study is the same as a few years ago, and there is no change.

"You go and ask Qingcheng to take out the taels sent by Ji Yang two days ago, and soak them to entertain our eldest girl."

Lu Yan waved his hand to the mother-in-law waiting at the door, and commanded with a smile.

Su Man also smiled at Dai Lan beside him and said, "You go outside and wait first, I have something to say to Brother Yan." As the partition door slowly closed, only Lu Yan and Su Man were left in the room.

Lu Yan got up from the Taishi's chair, brushed the corners of his robe, and then slowly paced to sit beside Su Man, and asked softly, "What, but what do you have to say to me?" ”

Su Man pursed his lips, as if he didn't know how to speak. She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then she considered and said, "Just now, that grandmother-in-law sent her brother a congratulatory gift, and my sister liked it very much. ”

Lu Yan had a gentle smile on his face when he heard this: "It's good if you like it, I think about you moving to a new house, and I always help you buy something." He said, his voice paused slightly, "But I don't know much about this girl's things, so I can only choose such a useless gadget." ”

Su Man hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "This is not a small thing, my brother is too humble." Su Man clenched his fingers and chuckled, "My brother is now on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, but how much is that and how much my sister still knows, and my sister doesn't want my brother to spend money on such a trivial matter......

The more Su Man spoke, the lower his voice became, and finally disappeared completely in his throat. She lowered her eyes and looked at her fingers hidden under her sleeves, but her face felt hot.

Saying so directly that people are poor, even she will feel embarrassed.

Lu Yan looked at the girl in front of her in a daze, and it took a while to realize what she meant.

He was about to open his mouth to explain, but he heard Dai Lan outside the door whisper: "Brother Qingcheng just hand over the things to the maid, and the maid will send it to the young master and the girl." ”

Immediately after, the sound of the partition door being pushed open was heard, and Dai Lan walked in slowly holding the tray.

After laying out the tea and snacks one by one, Dai Lan didn't stay long and withdrew again.

Hearing that the partition door was closed again, Lu Yan chuckled twice and explained: "I know what my sister means, but don't worry, my brother also has some industry outside, and these gadgets are really nothing." ”

I'll go? Su Man raised his head in surprise and looked directly at Lu Yan.

Perhaps the surprise in her eyes was too obvious, Lu Yan smiled helplessly and said, "I will always have to set up another mansion in the future, so it's not good to live under the shadow of the Su family for the rest of my life." ”

"Our Su Mansion has a strong background, and there is no difference between treating me as if we were treating Brother Che, and I have saved a lot of silver over the years." Lu Yan saw that Su Man was still full of disbelief, so he had to continue to explain: "Although this silver is not much, it is enough to open a shop. ”

Lu Yan didn't tell Su Man everything he did in the layman's business, but he could be regarded as saying everything he could.

Su Man nodded suspiciously, thought for a while, and asked again, "What kind of shop did you open then, brother?" ”

Lu Yan didn't hide it, and replied directly: "It's a shop specializing in Nanyang goods, there are not many on the side, but there are a lot of pearls and gemstones." ”

Su Man was even more surprised when he heard this: "Pearl gems? How much money is this, and how much money have you saved? "I'm afraid that I haven't spent any of my monthly money in the past few years?

Lu Yan obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he only changed the topic with a smile: "What kind of baptism did you prepare for the second sister, I heard that on the day the second lady gave birth, if you weren't there, the second sister would not have been born so smoothly." ”

Su Man silently rolled his eyes in his heart, he didn't want to say it, he didn't want to say it, this topic was too blunt, okay?
