Su Zhihui didn't stand up. She squatted on the ground and reached out to massage her mother's legs. "Mom, what about the banquet?"
Madam Su stretched out her finger and gently poked her forehead. "Don't worry about it. When has your mother ever regretted what she said?"
Su Zhihui giggled, "Mom, you must be tired, let me massage your legs for you!"
Magistrate Su's wife and Su Heng looked at each other, and all three of them had helplessness in their eyes.
"Brother, Mother didn't make it clear what she meant just now. Is it still possible for us to get married in the end?"
Su Heng nodded. Since his parents already knew about it and the other party had come to propose marriage, he might as well tell her so that he wouldn't have to worry about it all day.
"Well, my mother said that she had only contacted the Shen family once, and the Shen family had only come to propose marriage once, so she didn't agree this time. The answer should be given at the banquet in a few days."
"I see."
Su Zhihui nodded, not quite understanding. If that was the case, then she would go to her mother's yard every day for the next few days!
…
On the way back, Shen Changsheng and Lin Cuicui got on the carriage that Shen Li was riding in. Even Shen Qi'an was there, so Shen Jingyuan and his wife were squeezed into another carriage.
Fortunately, the carriage is wide enough to accommodate four adults without any problem.
"Ali, what do you think Madam Su meant by what she just said?"
Shen Li looked at Shen Qi'an, "Fourth brother, what do you think?"
"Mrs. Su must be satisfied with the Shen family and me, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten up to walk us to the garden."
"Although he didn't agree this time, he can tell us that he will invite us to the next banquet. If I'm not mistaken, there should only be our Shen family and Matchmaker Chen at the banquet. The answer will be given at the banquet."
Shen Changshan nodded, "Then do you want to bring the betrothal gifts next time?"
Chen Li: "Dad, you brought the betrothal gift to the banquet, are you going to ruin the party?"
Shen Changshan: "Haha, no, that's just what Dad asked."
Lin Cuicui said worriedly, "We don't have to go to Beijing, this..."
Chen Li: "Don't worry, mother. The Su family already knows that we are going to the capital. If they agree to this marriage, they will not hold a banquet on time."
As long as the two parties have reached an agreement, the next thing will be very simple, just follow the process.
Shen Qi'an nodded, still having some speculations in his heart, but he didn't want others to see them, so he hid them.
Pei Yu waited in the yard for a long time, but no one came back, so he was ridiculed by Mo Qing who was standing beside him.
"Pei Zian, look at you now. Tsk tsk, you're no longer the cold-blooded and ruthless Pei Zian you used to be."
Pei Yu ignored him and played the white chess piece on his own.
"Ah, alas, why are you so unruly? Don't you understand that each person can only place one piece? Quickly take back the white piece you just placed."
Pei Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Who told you to talk so much?"
"Oh, no, you're going too far! It's okay if you're in a hurry and don't wait for me, but I just got here and you're going back to the capital, and you're just walking the dog here!"
"Then you can just shout and let me hear it."
Mo Qing glared at him, his hands shaking as he pointed at him, "You, you, you're going too far!"
Pei Yu: “…”
"You are scolding yourself, I am not scolding you."
Mo Qing blinked his eyes. He was so angry at this guy that he was confused.
Wenlan came over with a tray. "Young Master, you must have traveled all the way here. I made you a bowl of shredded chicken noodles."
"Well, leave it there. I'll eat it later."
Wen Lan placed the tray next to them. Mo Qing glanced at it and immediately dropped the chess piece in his hand and grabbed Wen Lan's hand.
"How did you do this? So careless!"
Pei Yu on the opposite side had his arms folded across his chest, looking like he was just watching the fun.
He shook his head secretly in his heart and said to himself, Wenlan's hand was just burned red. Looking at his nervous look, if you didn't know, you would think that his skin was broken and bleeding!
Wen Lan's hand was held by him, and her delicate face slowly turned red. "Sir, it's okay."
Mo Qing sighed, took out a small white jar from his arms, opened it, scooped out a dollop of green ointment and applied it to her hand.
"I told you not to cook. Look, your hand is injured again. Next time, let someone else do it." He paused and said, "If you feel embarrassed, just ask me to do it."
Wen Lan shook his head, "Sir, you are a miracle doctor. Your hands are used to save the dying and the wounded. How can you do such rough work?"
Mo Qing was troubled by his stubborn thinking. "Now that you're injured, your young master must..."
It hurts!
When he was about to finish his words, his belated rationality caught up with his thoughts. When he looked up and saw Wen Lan's red face, he swallowed the three words back in an instant.
Unfortunately, he forgot that there was Pei Yu watching the fun next to him.
"Yes, Wenlan, next time, let your young master do this kind of thing. If you get hurt, your young master will be heartbroken!"
Wenlan's already red face turned even redder, like a cooked shrimp.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. Wenlan has something else to do, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he pulled his hand out of Mo Qing's, bowed hastily, turned around and ran away.
Mo Qing gnashed his teeth and looked at Pei Yu: "Pei Zian, it seems that you have a mouth, right?"
Pei Yu nodded. "Of course. At least I have the courage to admit it. Unlike someone who held a girl's hand and refused to let go, and then said he didn't like her, tsk tsk, I think you are just taking advantage of her."
Mo Qing was almost scared to death by his words, but he still subconsciously denied it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It seems that you have a dirty mind and think others are dirty too. Humph, I won't play chess with you anymore. I'm going to take a rest."
When Chen Li was about to arrive, she saw Mo Qing leaving in anger from afar.
"When did Doctor Mo come?"
Pei Yu held her hand and said, "The only one who came with us was Wenlan, who was sick. That's why they were a little slow. They just arrived."
Chen Li followed his force and sat on the stool, and asked him, "Were you angry with Doctor Mo again?"
At this time, Mo Qing ran over from a distance again. When he saw Chen Li, he nodded slightly at her, then took the chicken noodles on the table and left without even looking at Pei Yu.
Shen Li smiled and shook her head, "Why did you make him so angry?"
Pei Yu also sat down and spoke up for himself, "A-Li wronged me. I didn't do anything. I just told him a few truths, and he got so angry."
What words are so effective?
Chen Li was curious and asked again: "What did you say?"
Pei Yu touched the tip of his nose and said, "He said he felt bad for Wenlan but he refused to admit it. He also said he liked the girl but he refused to admit it. He just wanted to take advantage of her."
Chen Li: “…”
No wonder Mo Qing was so angry. I don’t know how these two people could have been together for so many years, but they had a conflict as soon as they got together. If they stayed together for a long time, wouldn’t they fight?
