Chapter 337: Jiang Yu visits Su Mansion at night
At night, Su Wan was in a daze in her yard. Not long after dinner, Sun Ling'er sat with her for a while, chatted for a while, and then left.
After Su Wan's enthronement ceremony is completed, Su Jing will go to the Grand Secretary's Mansion to propose marriage, find a matchmaker, go through the three letters and six ceremonies, and then draft a marriage certificate. He will go to the government office to present the jade butterfly, and then he can choose a date for the wedding.
These are things that my elder brother and my parents need to take care of, so Su Wan doesn't need to worry about them.
"Liuying, bring my zither to me, I want to play a couple of songs!" Su Wan was in a good mood today and wanted to make some music.
Liuying immediately moved it over.
Su Wan has not been idle in the past two years. He found a master to teach him. Now he can play the guzheng quite well, but his level is still amateur and cannot be called professional.
Jiang Yu carefully sorted out the reasons and finally found something wrong. Su Chen and Su Jing did this on purpose. The reason was simple: he had a crush on their sister, so he was deliberately challenging him.
I sent him several visiting cards, but he pretended not to see them.
Forget it, they are all brothers-in-law, and we will be a family in the future. If he wants to marry Wanwan, he has to get his brothers' consent.
Since the right way is blocked, he can only take the risky way. He has to fight to see Wanwan.
Jiang Yu visited the Su Mansion at night. There were many servants guarding the Su Mansion now, but they could not defend against Jiang Yu, who was very good at climbing walls and running on rooftops. He entered the Su Mansion in no time.
He didn't know where Su Wan's yard was, and the Su Mansion was quite big, so he had to look for it slowly.
But he found it very quickly, because the sound of a zither came from Su Wan's yard. He immediately recognized that it was the same tone as Ru Gu, which he had tuned himself.
The song Su Wan played was the one he had personally taught her, Feng Qiu Huang. Now Su Wan could play the song very skillfully. The music was melodious and her fingering was steady. It was obvious that the little girl had put in a lot of effort in the past few years when he was away.
Following the sound of music, he came to Furong Pavilion. He stood on the top of the wall, jumped down, and landed steadily in the yard.
Su Wan was sitting by the window playing the zither seriously. Liuying was standing on her right, and Liuyun was guarding the door. Almost the moment Jiang Yu landed, the two of them noticed it and immediately became alert.
A hidden weapon came straight towards Jiang Yu, but he dodged it easily by turning sideways. The dart landed on the rockery behind him. Liuyun spun around twice and attacked Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu responded calmly. After a few moves, she forced Liuyun back without hurting her.
Liuyun took a few steps back and almost lost his balance. It was a little dark in the yard, so it was normal that he couldn't see clearly.
"It's me!" Jiang Yu stood there and said in a deep voice.
Liuyun immediately recognized that it was Jiang Yu's voice, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said respectfully:
"So it's the prince, I'm sorry."
Su Wan was so distracted by the noise in the yard that she stopped playing the zither. When Liuying said that an assassin had come, she was so scared that she immediately hid behind the window and observed secretly.
Until Liuyun ran to the window and said:
"It's okay, girl. It's Prince Jiang who's here."
Jiang Yu? Why is he here at this hour?
She walked out from behind the window, and the two looked at each other through the window. Jiang Yu was wearing a black robe with his sleeves neatly tied up, his hair tied into a high ponytail, and a mask, but he still couldn't resist the noble temperament emanating from him.
"Jiang Yu, why are you here?"
Su Wan was really puzzled. Why didn't he just go out the main door and had to cosplay as an assassin?
Jiang Yu took off his mask and climbed in through the window, showing the assassin's bad behavior to the end.
Jiang Yu came in and didn't respond. Instead, he gestured for Liuyun and Liuying to leave first. The two sisters left obediently, one closing the door and the other closing the window.
Su Wan didn't take it seriously, but sat back down in front of the guzheng, looking up at him with a questioning look on her face:
"I'm asking you, why do you come to my room so late at night and not even leave? What's your point?"
Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing, poured himself some tea, and after drinking it, he moved a stool to sit next to her and explained:
"I can't help it. There are rules in Kyoto. If I want to come and see you, I have to send a visiting card first. But your eldest brother hasn't responded yet, so I have no choice but to do this. I will be going to Zhongzhou in a few days, and I would like to meet my honorable Princess Xuanle before then. Is that not allowed?"
Jiang Yujun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his lips, which was very seductive.
He also deliberately emphasized the four words "Princess Xuanle" and teased Su Wan.
Su Wan glared at him and said proudly:
"You're just being so perfunctory when you see me, right?"
"No, I'm the eldest son of Duke Jiang's Mansion. We are of the same level, so it's not perfunctory!" Jiang Yu retorted.
Su Wan choked and was speechless. It seemed that he was a first-class marquis of Jiangguo. His son was of the same rank as himself.
However, even if it was embarrassing, she had to be confident:
"You are just perfunctory!"
She glared at him, and Jiang Yu immediately realized that he was wrong. He then squatted down, took her hand, and said devoutly:
"Okay, I was wrong, Your Highness, will you please forgive me?"
Seeing him like this, Su Wan couldn't help laughing, then pointed at his forehead. Jiang Yu leaned back:
"Smooth talk!"
Jiang Yu sat down again and asked seriously:
"Wanwan, what made you want to donate to Yuyan Hall? You've put so much effort into this, don't you think it's a pity?"
Su Wan's move came suddenly, and he didn't expect her to do this. He originally thought that she would give 60% to 70% of the profits to the court, but he didn't expect this girl to donate the entire shell and core.
"Don't you think so? Donating it can bring peace and prosperity to the Su family, and even several generations won't have to worry about it. Isn't that good? I was thinking about this when I asked you to open Bingjitang with me. Besides, I also want to do something for this country while I have the ability. Those sacrificed soldiers have relatives at home. I can see that although it seems calm now, you can imagine how empty the national treasury is. I used Yuyantang to exchange for a princess. How great is that?
I tell you, that Gu Yue did it on purpose. She thinks being a county lady is amazing, and she even asked me to pay my respects to her. Next time, I will get back at her. "
Su Wan became excited when she mentioned Gu Yue, and her little girl's temperament was revealed.
However, she would only act like this in front of Jiang Yu, because she knew that Jiang Yu would not think that she was petty and always comparing herself with others.
Indeed, Jiang Yu didn’t think there was anything wrong with this at all, and he even thought his Wanwan was adorable.
In fact, although Su Wan and Gu Yue were competing with each other, she was not really trying to suppress Gu Yue. Instead, she knew in advance that after donating Yuyan Hall, the emperor would definitely express his gratitude and let her become a county lady or something. The result exceeded her expectations and she was directly promoted to a princess, which was really good.
"Silly girl, you are the best, no one can compare to you, at least that's the case in my heart." Jiang Yu reached out and touched her cheek, his eyes full of affection.
Such a sudden gentle touch made Su Wan feel shy.
