Chapter 243: Age Makes You Love People

"What would you like to eat for lunch?"

The teahouse in Tinghua Book only has ordinary snacks. If you want to have a proper meal, you must go somewhere else. Shen Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to Tianyuelou. Their fish tastes the most delicious."

After listening to the script for the whole morning, the two left the teahouse and prepared to go to Tianyue Restaurant for dinner.

"Ah! It's snowing." As soon as he got downstairs and walked to the door, Shen Yuan saw the fluttering snowflakes. When he went outside, he saw a thin layer of snow on the ground. "It was still sunny when I came out this morning, but I didn't expect it to snow at noon."

"Are you cold?" Xie Hui reached out and touched Shen Yuan's cloak.

Shen Yuan shook his head, "I'm not cold, but let's not go anywhere else this afternoon, let's just go and take a look at our future residence."

Xie Hui agreed with a smile, and escorted Shen Yuan to the carriage, and the two of them went to Tianyue Building. This was the first time it snowed this year, and Shen Yuan couldn't help but lift the curtain to look out of the carriage. "It's snowing heavily today. I guess it will be a thick layer after we finish our meal."

Xie Hui glanced out the window and said, "My parents have gone out of town to the hot spring manor. It's snowing so heavily that they may not be able to come back tonight." However, there are servants in the manor, and they have enough food and drink, so there is nothing to worry about. His father must be happier to have a reason not to go on duty.

Yesterday afternoon, when he got home from work, his parents were not at home. The housekeeper told him that they had gone to the hot spring resort, but no one had thought to tell him about it, and no one had asked him if he was going. When he returned to his room, he saw a letter from his mother, saying that if he didn't bring Manman home to play, they wouldn't take him with them when they went out to play.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Aunt and uncle are so loving."

"They are very loving, so loving that they forgot about me, their son. Fortunately, after we get married, we won't have to live with them." He couldn't stand his parents sometimes when they got grouchy, so it was better not to let Manman see it.

It was time for dinner, and today was a court holiday, so many officials liked to gather here. There were quite a few people in Tianyue Building, and the hall downstairs was full at this moment.

"Waiter, is the upstairs room still available?"

"My two guests, it happens that a room upstairs has just been vacated after a guest finished eating. If you don't mind, please wait for a while. I will ask someone to clean up."

Shen Yuan just nodded when he saw Lu Shuyan helping her mother down from the stairs, followed by Yuwen Mu. What a coincidence! The customer who had just finished eating that the waiter mentioned was most likely Lu Shuyan.

Lu Shuyan also saw Shen Yuan at this time, "Yuanyuan, you guys are coming to eat too?"

Shen Yuan greeted Lu Shuyan's mother first, then answered, "Yes, the waiter told me that a private room upstairs had just been vacated. It must be you. What a coincidence."

Shen Yuan signaled Lu Shuyan with her eyes. Behind Lu Shuyan was Lord Yuwen. Shen Yuan always looked serious every time she saw him, but this time she actually saw two smiles on Lord Yuwen's face, which never changed. It seemed that there was good news.

Lu Shuyan leaned close to Shen Yuan's ear and said a few words to her. This was not a suitable place to talk, so they left quickly without saying much. When they sat down in the upstairs room, Shen Yuan asked Xie Hui excitedly, "I just saw you talking to Lord Yuwen. Did he tell you about what happened today?"

"Well, he said he would treat me and the officials from the Dali Temple to a drink someday. I guess the marriage is settled."

"Hehe, it's done. Shuyan just told me that their wedding date has been set."

The wedding date of Lu Shuyan and Yuwen Mu is scheduled for March next year. This is the date chosen by Lu Shuyan herself. What she meant is that since the person has been decided, there is no need to worry about those unnecessary things. Yuwen Mu remembered what the adults in the Dali Temple taught him, and dressed very smartly today. He also brought a gift for Lu Shuyan's mother. Lu's mother saw that although he was a little taciturn, he was tall and handsome, and his eyes were on his daughter during the meal. Moreover, he could become the commander of the Imperial City Division at a young age without any family background, which showed that he was capable. Moreover, after the marriage, her daughter would still be by her side. Thinking of this, the marriage was indeed very good. The only thing she was not satisfied with was the wedding date set by her daughter. Who would set it directly the first time they met, and it was just three months later.

Xie Hui was a little surprised to hear that the couple had set a wedding date, "They moved pretty quickly."

At this time, Shen Yuan looked at Xie Hui and asked him, "Brother Youqi, are you in a hurry to get married?" When they got engaged in May, they did not discuss getting married.

Xie Hui smiled and said, "I won't rush into marriage just because I see others getting married. Anyway, I've been engaged and I can't escape it. Just hope Manman doesn't despise me because I'm too old."

"Don't mind, don't mind. As the saying goes, people get more caring as they get older. Haha, I won't run away."

It was a snowy day, and the small clay stove was red. The fish head casserole at Tianyue Tower was very good. Shen Yuan didn't eat much other dishes at noon. He was full with just the fish head. After drinking two bowls of freshly boiled fish soup, he felt warm all over. He was not afraid to roll around in the snow. In the afternoon, the snow fell even harder, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street. The carriage moved very slowly from Tianyue Tower to Ning'an Earl's Mansion.

"Are you sleepy? Lean on me and take a nap for a while."

Shen Yuan nodded. The fragrant and warm carriage made her doze off. So she lay on Xie Hui's legs and closed her eyes. She rested her head twice and did not forget to "dislike" this human pillow, "Brother Youqi, your legs are a little stiff."

Xie Hui smiled and said, "Sorry, it's my fault."

"Don't apologize, I just like sleeping on a hard bed."

After lying down for a while, Shen Yuan couldn't fall asleep, so he opened his eyes and looked at Xie Hui, "You look good even when you look at it like this, Brother Youqi is so handsome."

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, she saw Xie Hui lowering his head to kiss her, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, "Don't kiss me, don't kiss me, I just forgot to rinse my mouth."

Xie Hui smiled and kissed Shen Yuan on the forehead.

There are not many servants in the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion nowadays. After all, no one lives there, so leaving a few servants to do some sweeping chores is enough. However, the servants are very diligent. Even with such heavy snow, the snow outside the door has been swept away, and only a thin layer has accumulated in front.

After the two entered the mansion, they did not go anywhere else, but went straight to the courtyard where they would live in the future. "I have been here so many times, isn't it that when we get married, I feel almost like I am going home?" The more Shen Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that he would probably not be able to cry when he got married in the future.

"It's almost the same. This is your home, our home." Xie Hui said as he reached out and poured a cup of tea for Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan took it and put it down, "I'm not thirsty."

Xie Hui said, "You can rinse your mouth now."

"Well, you are so nice..."
