Chapter 314: Looks sweet and soft
Su Wan was so excited that he was about to meet his future sister-in-law that he fell asleep very late.
She has already discussed it with her fifth brother. Tomorrow she can just bring Liuyun and Liuying with her to the appointment. After all, Third Miss Shen is a girl of the boudoir, and Kyoto is the capital that attaches great importance to these rules.
It was not appropriate for Su Yi to go with him anyway. Moreover, if Miss Shen’s acquaintances saw him, it would be bad if some unpleasant rumors spread.
For the sake of his future sister-in-law's reputation, Su Wan had to be extremely careful and cautious no matter what.
Anyway, she will have to stay in Kyoto for at least two months in the future. Once her feelings are understood and she personally admits her feelings for her eldest brother, there will be many opportunities for them to meet after they get to know each other better.
Su Wan was also thinking that when the time comes, he would ask his fifth brother to draw two portraits of his future sister-in-law, send one to his eldest brother who was far away in You County to ease his homesickness, and bring the other one back to show his parents so that they could be happy.
Su Wan got up the next day, dressed up and put on new clothes.
However, everything should be just right, not too bright or eye-catching. The simpler and fresher, the better.
Of course, Su Wan looks best with some red elements on her body.
I don't know if God was helping me today, but the weather in Kyoto was already a bit cold in mid-October, and I had to wear a thin cloak when going out, but this morning the sun came out, which is rare.
Shen Qingli had been waiting on the boat for a long time. She rented a boat on Taihu Lake and arranged for her personal maid Le'er to wait for Su Wan at the Taihu Pier.
The person who brought Su Wan here was also the servant who had communicated with him yesterday. It was he who found Le'er to deliver the message.
Le'er recognized the boy from a distance, and also saw Su Wan following behind him.
After they came closer, Le Er came forward to greet them:
"Is that Miss Su?"
Su Wan also guessed that this was Miss Shen San's maid, she smiled and nodded:
"It's me!"
Upon hearing this, Le Er started to laugh, and bowed, unable to conceal her joy:
"Miss Su, please follow me aboard. My mistress has been waiting for a long time."
Su Wan sent the servant to wait at the dock, and she took Liuyun and Liuying on the boat.
The cruise ships in Kyoto are so beautifully built that once you get on one, it feels like you’ve returned to another home.
Shen Qingli was waiting on the boat, about to meet Su Jing's sister. To be honest, she was quite nervous and paced back and forth.
She didn't stop until she heard footsteps on the deck, adjusted her dress and hair, and turned her back to the door.
"Miss, Miss Su is here."
As Le'er's voice sounded, Shen Qingli turned around.
She was wearing a pink and white dress, with only a hairpin of the same color on her head, decorated with a few pearl flowers. She looked fresh and elegant. When she looked back, the tassel pendant on the hairpin swayed gently.
As soon as Su Wan saw Miss Shen San, she was amazed by her temperament.
The bookish temperament that comes to your face is like the spring water in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. When you gently touch it with your hand, you will feel that the water seems to be as warm as hot spring water.
It is said that her cheeks are as red as fresh lychees, her nose is as smooth as goose fat, she is gentle and silent, she is amiable to look at and worldly-wise to see.
She is worthy of being the daughter raised in the mansion of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet of the current dynasty. Just standing there, her every frown and smile is full of the demeanor of a lady and her temperament is extraordinary.
When Su Wan approached her, she kept thinking that Third Miss Shen looked sweet and soft, and must be easy to hug.
She also knew in an instant why her elder brother fell in love with her. Only a woman like this could stand shoulder to shoulder with her elder brother. The two of them standing together were a match made in heaven. No one was more suitable than the two of them.
Su Wan had not even spoken to his future sister-in-law, but he had already spoken so highly of her.
“Xiangzhou Su Wan, meet Miss Shen San.”
Su Wan is still very polite and knows the rules.
Seeing this, Shen Qingli quickly held her hand and said softly:
"Miss Su, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down and have some tea!"
Oh my god, Miss Shen’s voice is so nice, just like her, like a passing breeze.
Not to mention that big brother couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear it either.
"Miss Shen San, if you don't mind, I'll call you Sister Shen. And you don't have to call me Miss Su. Just call me Wan Wan."
When Su Wan is with the person she likes, she is very familiar and approachable. Her humbleness makes Shen Qingli feel less restrained.
"Of course I don't mind. I'm very happy that you are willing to call me sister." Shen Qingchu blushed slightly after just a few words.
This is a true lady from a noble family.
"Come, let me order some tea for you. This is the way we entertain guests in Kyoto. When distinguished guests come, we must personally order a cup of tea to show our welcome."
Shen Qingli spoke in a calm and steady tone, with a faint smile always on her face.
Moreover, her hands are well maintained, slender, white and tender, and her nails are polished into an oval shape. They look really fragrant everywhere.
"Thank you, Sister Chen." Su Wan watched her quietly as she ordered a cup of tea. The whole process took a cup of tea, and each step was neither hurried nor slow. Finally, she placed a lotus flower on the tea foam, and the cup of tea was completed.
Su Wan thought about himself and felt that he couldn't even make tea foam, let alone flowers.
"Sister Wanwan, come and try it!" Shen Qingchu pushed the tea in front of her.
Su Wan picked it up and took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea instantly filled his entire mouth.
She just thought it was wonderful. The ancients were not deceiving her. The culture passed down by our ancestors was indeed good.
“Yeah, it’s delicious. Sister Shen’s cooking skills are good.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingli covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed:
"Sister Wanwan, thank you for your compliment."
After drinking tea, Su Wan had to get down to business. She waved her hand and Liuying brought the things over. The letter and the jade pendant were both put in a box.
Su Wan placed the box in front of Shen Qingli and said with a smile:
"Sister Shen, I asked you to meet me today because I'm here to deliver a token of love on behalf of my eldest brother. He asked me to tell you that he knows your feelings. There's a letter inside that tells you what he wants to say."
Su Wan's words were simple and obscure, but they were enough to make Shen Qingli blush with embarrassment.
She touched her almost cooked face with a handkerchief uncomfortably, and looking at the box, she was filled with joy and wanted to open it and take a look right away.
But Su Wan was still here, and she couldn't lose her composure, otherwise people would think she was not reserved.
But why would Su Wan care about these?
She said bluntly:
"Sister Shen, please open it and see what my eldest brother gave you." She pretended to be curious and asked knowingly.
Giving Shen Qingli a step, she followed it down. She opened the box and saw a piece of topaz pressing down a letter.
The envelope was written with "From Miss Shen San".
The eldest brother was very polite and did not call her by her maiden name. After all, the two of them had not yet decided on anything, so they should use honorifics.
Seeing his handwriting, Shen Qingchu's heart couldn't help but be moved, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.
