Chapter 587 The Greatest Blessing
As I felt uncomfortable, the carriage suddenly shook.
The curtain was opened from the outside, and a green figure flashed in and sat down in an empty seat on the side of the carriage.
Gan Caiwei had tears still hanging on her eyelashes and she hadn't had time to wipe them away. She looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, and was so scared that she opened her mouth and stood there like a wooden chicken.
Cui'er, the maid accompanying the young lady, was not in a better state. She continued to offer the handkerchief, her hand frozen in mid-air. "Master Su, Master Su?! How did you get in?"
Su Wen calmly took the handkerchief from Cui'er's hand and handed it to the tearful woman, "He jumped in."
He looked at Gan Caiwei and said, "I'll take you back home."
"You--?" Gan Caiwei held her handkerchief in a daze, not understanding what the man meant.
She is not a very smart person.
And his thoughts have always been difficult to understand.
She didn't dare guess anymore.
Afraid of being too sentimental.
"Marrying someone of a lower status is unfair to a woman." Su Wen stared at her, a hint of smile spreading from his dark eyes. For the first time, he showed his tenderness to this woman. "But if you don't regret it, I will try my best to prevent you from being wronged."
After a pause, the smile in his eyes widened, "How about starting by sending you home?"
Gan Caiwei was still in a daze, as if she hadn't heard clearly, but her eyes widened little by little, and after a moment, her cheeks suddenly turned red.
Does Lord Su mean that she has waited for it?
She thought he liked her a little bit, wasn't it an illusion?
So, were the words he just said intended to confirm her feelings and determination?
The Su Mansion is in the West Market, and the Gan Mansion is in the East Market, separated by a main street and several small alleys, so they are not very close.
Gan Caiwei felt that today's journey was too short. Her mind was in a mess and she arrived home before she could figure it out.
When she walked into the house, she still felt unreal. Her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, and the maid who was supporting her was smiling like a fool...
The Gan Mansion was particularly lively that afternoon.
In the study, the frail old master was in a good mood. He asked the old housekeeper, who was only about twenty years younger than him, to paint a picture of a magpie climbing a branch.
The old housekeeper was delighted. "It seems that we will be able to have a wedding soon. Master Su Wensu is a man of plan and steady temperament. He personally sent the young lady back today, and those rumors outside will stop. The clouds will finally clear and the moon will appear. The old master can rest assured."
"I'm relieved." Old Master Gan put down his brush, smiled and examined his freshly made painting, and sighed, "When I get old, I don't ask for much. I just want to see my children and grandchildren happy. If they are happy, then I will be happy too."
"That's because the old man is optimistic about Su Wen and secretly supports her, otherwise the young lady would have had a hard time these years."
"Then guess why I am optimistic about the boy from the Su family." After handing the painting to the old housekeeper to be framed later, the old tutor was in a good mood and kept the secret while joking.
The old butler happily agreed. "There are many talented young men from aristocratic families in the capital, some of whom are both talented and handsome. But compared to those from well-established families, Su Wen is not far behind. He has a deep friendship with the Emperor, and with this, he will be able to rise to prominence in the officialdom, with a promising future. Moreover, he is the cousin of Princess Mingyue, which is an even greater support."
The old Grand Tutor shook his head. "You're still confined to those rules. The current emperor is a wise ruler. As long as the Gan family is loyal to him, they can continue to prosper for at least a hundred years. This is enough for the Gan family. It's just right. If it becomes more conspicuous, it will not be a good thing. Caiwei likes Su Wen, and I am optimistic about her, but she is not after how much power and support Su Wen has behind him."
At this point, the old master stroked his sparse white beard, revealing a rare hint of pride. "What I like is the Su family's tradition. It's common for aristocratic families, wealthy merchants, and those with some wealth and ability to have three wives and four concubines, but if a man from the Su family marries, he will definitely marry only one person in his lifetime. This is Caiwei's greatest blessing, hahaha!"
Gan Boyuan is exactly ninety years old this year. He has been in the court and seen countless people throughout his life. I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to judging people, he rarely makes mistakes.
For a woman, the greatest happiness is to find a like-minded person and grow old together with him.
What are more than three years of rumors compared to the happiness of his little great-granddaughter?
The Gan family didn't care at all.
If he has the guts, let those people come to him and gossip about him.
"Go tell Caiwei that she's not allowed to go out anymore. They can only meet again when Su comes to propose. He's clearly interested in Caiwei, but he's dragged it out for over three years. You can't let me suffer in vain."
The old butler suppressed a smile and responded.
The old man was just praising someone, but now he is defending someone when he gets the chance.
But isn't the young lady the one who suffers? She must be looking forward to it so long.
It is true that the older one gets, the smaller his mind becomes. The shrewd old Grand Tutor who has been in the court for decades is no exception.
However, no one in the Gan family expected that things would develop so quickly.
Their old master was only proud for a long time.
That evening, before the sun set and the rosy clouds still enveloped the entire imperial city, Lord Su Wensu brought his men to propose marriage and offer betrothal gifts.
The helper he brought was the emperor, so people didn't even have the chance to refuse him and be reserved.
When Old Master Gan was invited to the hall and sat on the main seat, his face was sour.
…
Tubei Village.
The Su family courtyard also became lively.
There were two letters from Changjing at once.
The envelope containing the fragments of the magic weapon map was thrown casually on the shabby wooden table to dry, while another family letter was circulated repeatedly among the Su family members.
Those who recognize the words can recognize them, and those who don’t can just look at the shapes, and that is joy.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were all smiles, while Su Er and He Daxiang were even more grinning. "Good boy, you finally have someone to marry! This is more than a year late for Xiao An!"
"Su Wu, you bastard! Take a good look at me! You and your brother came out together, and at least your brother has a place to stay. When are you going to put in the effort? I'm really worried sick about you!"
"You useless thing! I'm sick of you just by looking at you! When your father married, we proposed, betrothed, and got married quickly and efficiently. You haven't learned a thing from me!" Su Er was furious at his other son. He was so disappointed that he grabbed Su Wu's ear and pulled it aside. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "You are nine years older than a wheat ear. If you don't hurry up, you'll lose your good wife. Do you think you are so precious that everyone loves you?"
"..." Su Wu cursed Su Wen in his heart and glanced at the girl who was watching the show while biting a fruit.
Got a big eye roll.
Damn, Master Xiao Wu has no way of living like this!
Bai Yu and Su An were openly gloating over his misfortune, "Second Uncle, this kid is thick-skinned. Don't be afraid of hurting him, just give him some serious damage! He's so old and still wants his parents to worry and get angry. He's so unfilial! So unfilial! Hahaha!"
The old man, still eager to prevent the world from being in turmoil, pulled out a door-holding stick from behind the main hall door and enthusiastically handed it to Su Er, "How about this? This one's easy to use. I guarantee it'll beat this unfilial son to a pulp!"
"Bai Yu! Su An! Poisonous grandpa!" Su Wu fled in grief and anger.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
There was another commotion in the yard.
