Chapter 181: The Su Family's Officials
After sending the second brother to the academy, Xiao Niannian first followed his father to the newly bought house of the family.
The brothers have all come to see, but only she and her mother have not seen what the new home looks like.
I have to say that this peacock spirit is still very good.
Since it was originally a restaurant, there was everything in the house, and there was no need to add anything else.
The interior of the restaurant is also very new, and there is no need to do more decoration, which saves a lot of money.
The backyard of the restaurant is very large, which is completely large enough for a large family to live in.
There is also a small garden with a lake in the middle to completely separate the restaurant from the backyard, so that the living area and the commercial area do not disturb each other, and it will not feel noisy.
Xiao Niannian is very satisfied with this courtyard, not only because the internal environment of the restaurant is good, but also because the external geographical location is also superior.
A few streets to the east of the house is the Peacock Spirit's mansion, and a two-mile walk to the west is the private school where the eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother and fifth brother are about to go to school.
My father and mother have already been in contact with that private school, and the master and teaching environment are good.
Tuanzi Yuanzi is already more than four years old, and it will be busy when the restaurant opens, and Shen Zhengwen and his wife are afraid that they will not have time to take care of it at that time, so they want to simply send it to the private school together.
It is said that the master who is mainly responsible for teaching used to be a jinshi, so the tuition fee is not cheap, six taels of silver a year, not including room and board.
The four children of the Shen family are more than 20 taels of silver a year.
Fortunately, they also have some money to spare, which is not too much for them.
A few hundred meters to the west of the private school, there is the Qujia Academy where the bolt is located.
On the east side of the restaurant, go all the way east and turn two more streets to the Li Mansion.
After seeing the new house, Xiao Niannian came to the Li Mansion with her mother.
Originally, my mother didn't want her to come, after all, the Zhang family was so angry yesterday, and the mother was afraid that the Zhang family would do something stressful today, and it would not be good if she was hurt at that time.
But Xiao Niannian doesn't want to do it, after all, her grandfather's body has not been completely cured, how can she do it if she doesn't come.
And she has the same idea as her mother, she is also afraid that her mother will be bullied in the Li family, and she can ensure her mother's safety with her.
The Li family is a Longtan tiger's den, and she is not at ease to let her mother go by herself.
In the end, under her soft grinding and hard bubbles, my mother still let her come.
The Shen family's carriage stopped at the gate of the Li Mansion, and before they could get out of the car, someone suddenly knocked on the window next to them.
"Dare to ask if it's Miss Rulan in the carriage?"
When Li Rulan heard that voice, she was stunned for a moment, and then her expression was relieved.
She rolled up the curtains and looked out the window at the person, revealing a faint smile.
"Ah Yan, don't come unharmed."
The man known as Ah Yan outside the window couldn't take his eyes off the moment he saw Li Rulan, and muttered: "Rulan, it's really you ......."
Li Rulan lowered the curtain and walked down from the carriage.
Su Yan excitedly greeted Li Rulan and wanted to give Li Rulan a hug, but after thinking about it, he felt a little reckless, put his hand down again, and stood at a loss.
He looked at the person who had been thinking about it for many years, and showed a bitter smile.
"After all these years, where have you been Rulan? Why don't you come back to see me, I thought you were ......"
Li Rulan took a step back and deliberately kept a distance from Su Yan.
"It's a long story, I'm fine now, Ah Yan, how are you now?"
"I ......" Su Yan was about to answer, when suddenly a childish voice interrupted him.
"Mother, who is this uncle?"
Xiao Niannian also got out of the carriage and stood on the wheel and stared at Su Yan curiously.
Seeing the man staring at her mother stupidly, she understood something in her heart, so she deliberately stretched out her hands and shouted to her mother: "Mother, hug~"
"This is ......" The man's face suddenly turned a little pale when he saw Xiao Niannian, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Rulan, is this your child?"
"yes." Li Rulan stretched out her hand and hugged Xiao Niannian off the wheel, with a doting smile on her face.
"This is my little daughter, my name is called Niannian."
"What is the husband doing here?" At this moment, another female voice came from the side.
Li Rulan and Xiao Niannian looked at each other, and a dignified and delicate woman walked over slowly.
The woman also saw Li Rulan's mother and daughter, and when she saw Li Rulan's face clearly, the woman's face showed a trace of panic.
But she still managed to calm herself and showed a polite smile and asked, "May I ask who this is?" ”
Su Yan's face turned cold, he didn't even look at the woman, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" ”
The woman glanced at Su Yan deeply, her expression a little hurt.
"Husband, don't you want to see me like that? My mother sent me to find my husband. ”
The accent of the woman was different when she spoke, and Xiao Niannian sounded like Kyoto, and couldn't help but look at the woman twice.
Although the woman's appearance is not a country or a city, it can be regarded as a small jasper.
Especially the indifferent and elegant temperament, the woman straightens her waist and does not squint when she speaks, and she looks like a well-educated lady.
Su Yan listened to the woman's words, and there was some impatience in her tone, "Mother looking for me? What's the matter? ”
The woman bowed her head slightly: "Someone from Kyoto, my mother asked me to invite my husband back to discuss important matters." ”
Su Yan frowned, and a trace of disgust appeared on his face, "Okay, I know, you go back first." ”
"Yes." After the woman glanced at Su Yan, she blessed her body and turned to leave.
Before leaving, she glanced back at Li Rulan.
The eyes seemed sad and sorrowful, and there was a trace of indescribable bitterness.
After the woman left, Su Yan couldn't wait to ask, "Rulan, I heard that you are going back to live in the Li Mansion in the future, right?" ”
When facing Li Rulan, Su Yan put on the appearance of a humble gentleman who was as gentle as water, and the person who exuded cold air just now didn't seem to be him.
Li Rulan nodded.
After receiving Li Rulan's affirmative answer, Su Yan said happily: "Rulan, I still have something to do today, so it is inconvenient to stay here longer." I'll visit you another day, and invite you to go to the painting boat outside the city to swim in the lake, okay? When the time comes, you will definitely tell me how you have come over the years, and I want to tell you how much I have missed you all these years. ”
Su Yan's wife hadn't gone far yet, and when she heard his intimate call for the word "Rulan", her body stiffened significantly.
Li Rulan also noticed the strange aura between Su Yan and his wife, but she didn't think that these had anything to do with her.
But Su Yan was too enthusiastic about her, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Although the two of them had a very good relationship when they were young, they were both family members at this time, and if they had been in secret, they would definitely provoke gossip.
What's more, it's still an eventful time, and the affairs of the Li family have not yet been resolved, so where is she in the mood to go to the mountains and rivers, so she politely declined without thinking about the matter of swimming in the lake.
"Thank you for the kindness of Su Guanren, but I have an old father and a child at home who need to be taken care of, and I really can't get out of my body, so I can't be invited to go to the lake. Su Guanren still has something to do, so let's go home quickly. I'm going to go back to visit my father, so I'm leaving. ”
