Su Yin's sudden appearance caused the two people in the courtyard to stop talking and look at the strange girl who suddenly appeared in surprise.
The veiled woman did not speak, but the shopkeeper stepped forward and asked, "My lady, the backyard is a private area of our shop and is not open to the public."
Su Yin was at a loss and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this place was wrong, I just thought the layout of the tavern was very elegant, and as I was walking, I... I'm so sorry to bother you."
The shopkeeper had a polite smile on his face, "No problem, please leave young lady."
Su Yin nodded obediently, observing the masked woman out of the corner of her eye.
I wonder if she is looking for Shunyi Marquis’ wife Heng Youyi herself.
Su Yin turned around and left in a hurry. Perhaps because she left too hastily, she stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
“Ouch!”
The masked woman who had been standing there motionless finally moved, took two steps forward, and helped the man up.
Su Yin frowned in pain and said to the woman in a delicate and weak voice, "I think I sprained my foot."
The veiled woman turned her head and told the shopkeeper, "Uncle Sun, go to the house and get some medicinal wine."
"Yes, ma'am."
The woman helped Su Yin sit down on the stone bench under the pear tree in the courtyard.
"Thank you!" Su Yin blushed and whispered shyly.
"You're welcome, young lady."
While waiting for the medicinal wine, Su Yin naturally would not miss the opportunity to test him. She asked with her big eyes full of curiosity, "Sister, are you the owner of this shop? I just heard the shopkeeper call you Madam."
Heng Youyi nodded slightly.
It’s really Heng Youyi, it seems she is lucky.
"Sister, you are amazing!" Su Yin began to praise with admiration, "The wine in Zijin Wine Shop is delicious, my father likes it very much. I often hear him praise the wine brewed by sister's family. Sister can brew wine that my father praises, she must be an amazing person."
Heng Youyi was delighted by her praise. He felt that the girl in front of him was innocent and cute, and he couldn't help but want to talk to her more.
"Where's your daddy?"
"I'm out choosing some wine. We'll have a housewarming banquet at home the day after tomorrow." Su Yin is now playing the role of a simple-minded person.
Such a character, especially a little girl, can easily make people let down their guard.
Of course, this statement also has a certain suggestive effect.
This shows that she really broke in accidentally and did not approach with a purpose.
When Su Yin wanted to go further, Shopkeeper Sun came over with medicinal wine.
Su Yin subconsciously moved her feet away, and Heng Youyi said to Shopkeeper Sun, "Uncle Sun, please move aside first."
A girl's feet should not be easily seen by others.
Shopkeeper Sun also understood this principle. After putting the things down, he left.
Heng Youyi opened the medicinal wine, then squatted down to help her take off her shoes and socks, but Su Yin hurriedly stopped her, "No! Sister, I can do it myself."
"It's okay! I often massage my sister too."
"The elder sister loves her younger sister very much."
"She is the youngest in the family. Her brothers and sisters spoil her a little, which has made her fearless. She climbs trees and robs bird nests all day long. She is very naughty. Every time she gets hurt, I have to help her apply medicine."
Su Yin noticed that when Heng Youyi mentioned his sister, there was a lot of doting in his tone and tenderness in his eyes, which diluted her original sorrow.
Heng Youyi observed her feet, poured the medicinal wine into her hands, and rubbed them gently. "Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and the bones and flesh are not hurt."
"Yeah, I don't think it hurts that much anymore."
Su Yin understood that Heng Youyi saw that she didn't sprain her ankle, but he still rubbed it for her.
Her movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting her.
"alright!"
Heng Youyi put her shoes and socks back on.
"I'll help you out."
"No, no. It hurt a lot when I fell just now, but I feel much better now."
Su Yin also tentatively moved her injured foot, as if to feel whether she was really okay.
Heng Youyi did not rush him, but waited patiently.
Before leaving, Su Yin took the opportunity to ask, "Sister, what's that scent you have? It smells good."
"This is a sachet I mixed myself. If you like it, I'll write you a recipe and you can mix it yourself."
"Okay, okay."
Heng Youyi called the shopkeeper Sun and brought writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Su Yin looked at her handwriting, which was beautiful and neat, and even had a hint of sharpness in the strokes.
There is a saying that goes, you can tell a person’s character from his words.
This statement may not be accurate, but sometimes it does make sense.
After Su Yin got the recipe, Heng Youyi called the maid and helped her back to the front yard.
In the front yard, Su Xiaozhong had already selected the drinks and paid the deposit.
Seeing Su Yin coming out, he noticed her walking posture and approached her with concern, "What's wrong?"
"I fell down, but luckily it's nothing serious."
"Walk more carefully next time."
"I know, Dad."
Su Xiaozhong said to the waiter, "Don't delay if there's a banquet waiting to be prepared at home."
"Don't worry, sir. It will be delivered on time."
Just as the father and daughter were about to leave, a burly figure walked into the shop. When the clerk and the shopkeeper saw each other, they smiled brightly. That smile was much warmer and more sincere than the one they showed to Su Yin and his daughter.
"Master Nan Wu, you are here."
Nan Wuyi stepped into the tavern and was about to speak when he saw Su Yin standing beside him. His eyes widened in surprise and he ignored the two tavern owners and walked quickly to Su Yin.
"Miss Su."
Nan Wu looked at her excitedly.
He almost thought he was seeing things, so he stepped forward to make sure he had not recognized the wrong person.
Su Yin was also surprised to meet Nan Wu here.
"How are you, Master? How are you doing lately?"
"We are all fine. The young master must have missed you. I didn't expect to meet you here today. If the young master knew, he would definitely be happy."
The tavern owner and his waiter saw Su Yin and Nan Wu chatting happily, and seeing that Nan Wu seemed to be very respectful to the girl in front of him, they felt suspicious for some reason.
Could it be that this girl has some extraordinary identity?
Seeing that Nan Wu wanted to say something else, Su Yin interrupted him and said, "We have moved to Qingshi Lane in the south of the city. If you are free, you can come over and chat."
"Of course, of course." Nan Wu finally noticed Su Xiaozhong beside Su Yin, "Who is this?"
"My father."
When Nan Wu turned to Su Xiaozhong, he was a little more polite, "Master Su, nice to meet you."
"Brother Nan Wu, I have heard of you for a long time."
After some pleasantries, Su Yin left first.
As soon as they left, Xiao Cui, the maid who had been watching, returned to the backyard.
As soon as she came back, Heng Youyi asked, "Did the girl's family order the wine?"
"It's settled. Not only that, but she also knows the young master of the Nangong family."
"Oh." Heng Youyi was a little surprised.
Xiao Cui was a little confused, "Madam, what's the problem with that girl?"
Heng Youyi shook his head, "Nothing."
I guess I'm just overthinking it!
