She immediately perked up, reached out and lifted the curtain, and saw the three large characters "General's Mansion".
This was the residence that Yu Nanqing had mentioned to her, the one where they held meetings in Wengcheng.
The plaque was covered with a layer of dust, and the last two characters of the three characters "General's Mansion" had lost their paint. It was not as grand as the mansions in the capital, with their gray brick walls and faded vermilion gates.
"Yan'er." Yu Nanqing lifted the carriage curtain and reached out to her.
Su Wanyan put her hand on his and used his strength to get off the carriage.
Looking at the dilapidated general's mansion, Yu Nanqing said, "I haven't been to Wengcheng for a long time, and this mansion has been abandoned for a long time. But don't worry, Yan'er, I have already arranged for people to repair it. They will arrive tomorrow. At that time, Yan'er can just tell them what she wants."
"Okay, sure." Su Wanyan nodded in agreement.
This mansion really needs some repairs. Even if nothing is added, the plaque and the door should be repainted.
As Yu Nanqing gazed at the three large characters on the plaque above the door, a trace of melancholy that Su Wanyan had never seen before appeared in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Su Wanyan asked.
Yu Nanqing shook his head, concealing the bitterness in his heart: "The past events seem vivid in my mind, yet also like fleeting clouds. I don't know how to feel."
All I know is that I'm not feeling well.
Su Wanyan quickly took his hand tightly: "I'm here!"
Yu Nanqing was slightly taken aback.
Then Su Wanyan looked at him confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'll always be here for you!"
She didn't know how to comfort him, but she would stay with him from now on, whether he lived or died, as long as Yu Nanqing didn't leave her, she would never abandon him.
Her previously dejected mood instantly lifted, and Yu Nanqing gripped her hand tightly: "Yan'er, come with me."
Before Yu Nanqing arrived in Wengcheng, the General's Mansion had already sent people to clean it up. Originally, many places inside were overgrown with weeds, but now they were all clean.
Following Yu Nanqing around the front courtyard and into the main courtyard, they found that although the things inside were old, they were spotless to the touch.
The mattresses in the main bedroom were all newly bought, the curtains were light gauze curtains that Su Wanyan liked, and the pillows were soft pillows that Su Wanyan liked.
Yu Nanqing stepped forward and touched the quilt. It was made of cotton and silk, and felt soft and warm to the touch, which was very comfortable.
Just as he was about to speak to Su Wanyan, he saw that Su Wanyan had already come to the dressing table, stretched out her little index finger and wiped the gap in the table, and there was not a speck of dust.
Su Wanyan's eyes brightened slightly.
Noticing the slight surprise on her face, Yu Nanqing felt inexplicably pleased: "How is it? Is Yan'er satisfied?"
He knew that Su Wanyan loved cleanliness, so he ordered people to clean the mansion early on, and specifically instructed them to make sure it was spotless.
Yu Nanqing's expression carried a hint of pride, as if she wanted Su Wanyan to praise her.
Su Wanyan wasn't disappointed and nodded repeatedly: "Satisfied, satisfied. Although they are all old things, they are all cleaned very well, which makes it more comfortable to live here."
Yu Nanqing gently took Su Wanyan's hand, then suddenly felt a pang of guilt: "Originally... we should have arranged it earlier, it was my oversight."
Su Wanyan chuckled: "What's there to feel guilty about? Actually, as I walked along, I thought this mansion was quite nice. It doesn't need any renovations; it has a retro feel to it."
Like those old houses with a sense of history, it has a unique atmosphere here, unlike the bustling city of Beijing.
Now that it's been renovated so much, it has lost its original charm.
Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing looked on with a huge question mark above his head: "Yan'er thinks it's good?"
This mansion is old and dilapidated, neither beautiful nor attractive. How could it possibly suit Yan'er?
Su Wanyan had no idea what he was thinking, and nodded: "I think it's fine as it is, but the signboard and the gate still need to be repainted. After all, it's the facade, and it can't be too shabby."
Most importantly, she didn't want to waste money.
Although Yu Nanqing didn't say anything, she couldn't be completely without a sense of crisis. How could she possibly enjoy the life of the capital after arriving in Wengcheng?
Su Wanyan had taught herself this skill.
"Okay, as long as Yan'er is happy."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Suddenly, two excited voices came from outside the door.
Su Wanyan's eyes brightened slightly, and she hurriedly ran out, only to see Qiu Ye and Huang Ye running excitedly from the courtyard, their expressions full of excitement: "It really is Your Highness! This servant greets Your Highness!"
The two knelt down and bowed to Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan quickly helped them up: "Get up quickly, it's been a long time. How have you been in Wengcheng? Have you been alright? Have you suffered any hardships?"
Su Wanyan looked the two of them over. Perhaps because the border town was not like the capital, the climate was bad and it was close to the battlefield, so the two of them looked less radiant than before, and their skin looked dry and yellow.
Su Wanyan touched their faces with heartache: "Why do you both look so haggard?"
It's only been a few months, how can the difference be so big?
The two shook their heads repeatedly. Overjoyed, Qiu Ye excitedly said, "Your Highness! This servant has something to report to Your Highness!"
Huang Ye quickly stopped her, saying, "Qiu Ye, Your Highness has had a long journey. We can discuss this tomorrow. Let Your Highness rest well today."
Qiu Ye seemed to realize something: "Yes, yes, yes, this servant forgot. Your Highness, it's getting late. This servant will talk about it tomorrow."
It was nearly dusk when we entered the city, and now only a faint rosy glow remains on the horizon.
As soon as they finished speaking, Yu Nanqing slowly walked out of the house. The smiles on their faces immediately disappeared, and they knelt down to curtsy: "This servant greets Your Highness."
"stand up."
Su Wanyan asked with a smile, "Where are Xiaobu and Tanaka? Why aren't they here?"
Su Wanyan originally thought she would see them as soon as she arrived in Wengcheng, but she did not expect that she would not see them even after arriving at the General's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, after Your Majesty left Wengcheng, we did not move out of that house. We thought that Your Majesty might need the things inside someday, so we have been keeping it there."
Su Wanyan remembered that there were prescriptions she had written down in that house, many of them experimental prescriptions. She recorded them so that she could make improvements. When she left, she thought they were all semi-finished products and not very useful, so she thought it was fine to just throw them away.
Besides these, there were also some drawings she made, all of which were useless drafts.
Unexpectedly, because of this, they have been guarding that house.
"We didn't announce our arrival in Wengcheng, and they were busy with the things Yan'er left behind, so I didn't send anyone. I only sent someone to deliver the message after we arrived at the city gate," Yu Nanqing said with a smile.
Su Wanyan asked curiously, "What did I leave behind? What did I leave behind? No, I didn't leave anything behind."
Yu Nanqing raised an eyebrow: "Yan'er, are you sure?"
"No." Su Wanyan looked confused, but her tone was very certain.
Seeing her adorable appearance, Yu Nanqing couldn't help but smile and say, "Never mind."
He stepped forward and took Su Wanyan's hand: "Let's rest first, and talk about everything tomorrow."
Yu Nanqing was worried that Su Wanyan wouldn't be used to having other maids, so he sent someone to tell Qiu Ye and Huang Ye to come and serve at the General's Mansion.
