"I guess so, but I don't like being alone, and I miss Yanchuan and Yihuan, so I plan to go back."
When are you leaving?
It's not confirmed yet regarding Su Luo, but it should be soon.
"I'll leave once everything is arranged."
"Could you..."
Su Luo looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated, tilting her head in surprise, "Could it be something?"
Nangong Qing chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said to Su Luo, "What I mean is, after you go back, could you pay more attention to the Fumanlou restaurant I created? It's been a long time since we've served any new dishes."
Su Luo thought he was going to say something important, but it turned out to be this. Nangong Qing was still Nangong Qing, constantly reminding her to make new dishes.
"Okay, I'll have time to work on the new dishes when I get back."
No sooner had Su Luo finished speaking than A Xu rushed in from outside, his smile wide and unconcealed.
"Your Highness, Vice Minister of Agriculture, it's so good that you're all here. It saves me the trouble of having to go and inform you one by one."
Nangong Qing was named Crown Prince, and A Xu was still his closest confidant. He also found a manager to run Fumanlou, and now he only serves as Nangong Qing's personal bodyguard.
"Ah Xu, you're the Crown Prince's bodyguard now, but you're still as careless and impulsive as before."
Su Luo criticized him, saying that Nangong Qing was going to be the emperor of Nanning in the future, and he would get into trouble sooner or later if he acted like this.
"I know, I know, but I'm so happy that I wanted to tell you about it in advance."
Nangong Qing: "You've struck gold?"
In Nangong Qing's memory, every time Ah Xu was this happy, it was either when he saw Xie Wanwan or when he received money.
Ah Xu grinned so wide his mouth stretched to his ears, raised his chin, and said with great enthusiasm.
"I'm happier than if I found a treasure. I just went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, and he calculated my and Wanwan's horoscopes and said we can get married next month."
That's why I wanted to share this good news with you first, after all, you two are my best friends for life.
Ah Xu had wanted to get married for a long time. After all, he was not young anymore, and the sooner he settled down with Wanwan, the sooner he could feel at ease.
Moreover, Wanwan had always longed for a home, which is why she sought help from the Imperial Advisor. The Imperial Advisor said that the two of them should get married as soon as possible, and that would definitely be the right thing to do.
"You said you went to see the Imperial Advisor. Has the Imperial Advisor come out of seclusion?" Su Luo asked.
Every time she went to see the Imperial Advisor, the guards said that he was in seclusion and would not see anyone. She believed in the Imperial Advisor's divination abilities and wanted to know how Nangong Chiyu was doing, but she just couldn't see him.
"No, the Imperial Advisor is in seclusion, but he sent someone to tell me that Wanwan and I have very good horoscopes, and that we should set our wedding date for the third day of next month. If it doesn't happen then, things may change later."
Su Luo was a little disappointed after hearing this, but still congratulated A Xu: "I've never heard Wanwan mention it before. I didn't expect you two to get married so soon."
“Wanwan is a girl, so it’s not appropriate for her to talk about these things. I’ll take care of these things.”
Seeing that Ah Xu, who was by her side, had found a loving companion, Nangong Qing felt truly envious.
"Ah Xu, although the Xie family has declined, Miss Xie is still a young lady from a prominent family. She has married you, so you must not let her down."
There also need to be proper etiquette and procedures: betrothal, asking the name, auspicious date selection, setting the wedding date, and the wedding ceremony itself. None of the outward rituals can be omitted. If you don't know them, I'll have the palace staff arrange them for you.”
"Your Highness, is what you said true? That's wonderful! I was just afraid that I would be too extravagant and ignorant, and if I were to be impolite, Wanwan would definitely be unhappy."
But if Your Highness helps me, I won't be afraid of any of this, hehe..."
Nangong Qing smiled faintly, her eyes glancing at Su Luo intentionally or unintentionally. As long as A Xu and Xie Wanwan got married, Su Luo would definitely wait until their wedding was over before returning home.
"Vice Minister of Agriculture, Miss Xie is getting married on the third day of the tenth month. Miss Xie is all alone now. She has always treated you as family. Now that she is getting married, do you want to wait until the ceremony is over before you go back?"
Ah Xu turned to look at Su Luo. Was Su Luo going back to Changping Village? Why hadn't she mentioned it before? Why was it so sudden?
"Vice Minister of Agriculture, are you leaving?"
Su Luo was about to leave: "I do have this plan, but you're getting married in half a month, so I can wait until after your wedding before going back."
Su Luo agreed to stay, and A Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "That's great. Deputy Minister of Agriculture, you are a witness to the story of me and Wanwan, and also Wanwan's benefactor. If it weren't for you, Wanwan and I would not have our fates intersected like this."
"Our wedding day will only be perfect with you by my side; otherwise, Wanwan will have regrets. Thank you."
Ah Xu was truly grateful to Su Luo. If Su Luo hadn't saved Xie Wanwan, he really couldn't imagine whether Xie Wanwan would still be alive today.
She didn't know what kind of inhuman treatment Xie Wanwan would encounter, but Su Luo brought Xie Wanwan back to the Chen residence, which is how she met Wanwan.
Su Luo was his matchmaker with Xie Wanwan, and he finally understood why the Imperial Advisor had predicted that Su Luo was a lucky star; her good fortune truly benefited everyone in Nanning.
...
There are still two weeks left, enough time for Su Luo to help Xie Wanwan with some arrangements before the wedding. A Xu has also bought a courtyard in the capital.
He also purchased farmland and real estate. Despite his appearance as just a guard by the Crown Prince's side, he was quite wealthy.
Once Nangong Qing ascends to the throne, Ah Xu's status will be completely different.
All of the Xie family's assets are now in Xie Wanwan's hands. She also owns 50% of Wanxiu Pavilion, and Axu also owns shares in Fumanlou. Together, the two of them are considered to be among the wealthiest people in the capital.
Inside Wanxiu Pavilion, Xie Wanwan was still dissatisfied with her wedding dress, simply because a loose thread was sticking out of the phoenix tail ribbon.
"Wanwan, tell me, how long did you secretly embroider this wedding dress?"
Xie Wanwan blushed and turned to the side. She had been preparing this wedding dress ever since she decided to be with A Xu.
But she was too embarrassed to say it, otherwise it would seem like she wasn't reserved enough.
"It hasn't been embroidered for very long!"
Such an exquisite wedding dress could not have been embroidered for very long, and Su Luo could tell that the embroidery was all done by her own hands.
Su Luo stood in front of her and helped her place the wedding dress on the embroidery frame, saying, "You're lying..."
Xie Wanwan knew she couldn't hide anything from Su Luo, so she said this while fixing the protruding thread.
"Really, many people didn't approve of my relationship with Ah Xu, saying that we were not a good match."
Many aristocratic families say they've never seen a young lady from such a family marry a bodyguard; they all think I'm foolish.
But they only remember that the Xie family was a prominent and powerful clan, without mentioning at all that I had no one left to rely on.
"Others may not see Ah Xu's good qualities, but can't you see them?"
There are countless people in the world, and everyone has a mouth to feed. We can't possibly manage everyone. The most important thing is to be happy ourselves. Su Luo comforted her.
