These words were overheard by her eldest brother. Su Zhihui was a little annoyed, but he said that time was almost up, so she didn't care about the clothes and jewelry in the room. Anyway, the maid would clean them up later. She took Dongshuang out of the room.
"Brother, don't eavesdrop next time."
Walking beside Su Heng, Su Zhihui complained.
"Okay, as long as you don't drag your feet next time, I won't eavesdrop."
Su Zhihui: "How am I procrastinating?"
Su Heng explained carefully to her, "You didn't have breakfast today. It's been an hour since you got up, and you've been dressing up all this time. If I hadn't urged you, how long would it have taken you to leave?"
Su Zhihui muttered softly: "Today is different, it's just a little slower."
Su Heng shook his head. With his younger sister in this condition, would she not be able to go out on the wedding day?
When the Shen family arrived at the Su family, it was exactly three quarters past four in the morning, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the banquet was to begin.
They happened to meet Chen the matchmaker's carriage at the door. The group opened the door and Su Heng came over with his men.
"Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen, Aunt Chen, please come in."
After Su Heng greeted them, he noticed the man next to Chen Li. The two of them were wearing clothes of the same color, and they looked like a perfect match. He must be the Prince of Jingnan.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"You're welcome. I'm just here to have a meal today. Master Su, don't be nervous."
Su Heng straightened up, "Yes, Prince, Miss Shen, please come in."
At this time, another carriage stopped and County Magistrate Su hurried down from the carriage. With just one glance, he locked onto Pei Yu.
He trotted over and said, "This humble official greets His Majesty."
Pei Yu stepped forward and gave him a fake hand, "You don't have to be polite, County Magistrate Su. I'm here to eat with you today, so you don't have to be so reserved."
"yes."
County Magistrate Su wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. The aura of the King of Jingnan was becoming stronger and stronger.
I still remember that I was just a young boy who didn't care about anything. I relied on my martial arts skills to attack anyone I didn't like.
Now the whole person is like a sheathed sword, with all the sharpness hidden, but he should not be underestimated.
"Your Highness, please come in."
When he looked up, he glanced at the woman standing beside King Jingnan, and the aura of Miss Shen became stronger.
This appearance and the aura around her don't look like a peasant girl at all. Even the ladies from the capital can hardly compare to her.
The ladies of the capital are known for their good temperament and good conversation, and Miss Shen is no exception. The most striking thing about her is her aura.
Compared with the King of Jingnan standing next to him, he is not much worse.
The group was welcomed into the flower hall, which had already been decorated and was waiting for them to arrive and take their seats.
Madam Su and Su Zhihui were waiting at the door of the flower hall. Su Heng had already informed them that Prince Jingnan was also here.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Mrs. Su, Miss Su, there's no need to be so polite."
Mrs. Su had a faint smile on her face, the kind that was just right, neither flattering nor cold.
"Your Highness has come to the Su Mansion. We are sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Magistrate Su also spoke up, "My wife is right. Please come in, Your Highness."
Pei Yu pulled Chen Li in, and County Magistrate Su and Madam Su entertained the Shen family and matchmaker Chen who came behind.
Because it was still early, everyone sat down and looked at each other in silence. Mrs. Su arranged for people to sing and dance. After enjoying the singing and dancing for a while, everyone got up and went to the garden.
Since it is a chrysanthemum viewing banquet, there must be chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemums have been prepared in the garden. Large white, yellow and green flowers are blooming in the late autumn sunshine.
So many chrysanthemums were found in just one day, which shows that Mrs. Su spent a lot of manpower and resources.
When they arrived at the garden, everyone dispersed. Su Zhihui was always kept by Madam Su's side and could not find time to sneak away to talk to Shen Qi'an.
Pei Yu and Shen Li found a quiet corner. Shen Li looked at him and said, "See, the atmosphere here is not lively even with you here."
Pei Yu nodded in agreement. "I think so too. Why don't we go out and let them discuss it themselves?"
Chen Li finally understood why he followed her. It turned out to be for the space for two people!
Chen Li looked at Madam Su and Magistrate Su. Judging from their attitude today, this marriage should be possible.
Now they all take Pei Yu's identity into consideration, and some things are hard to say. In this case, it would be better not to stay in the Su family.
"good."
Pei Yu smiled brightly, he knew that Ali would agree.
"Then let's go."
"Well, you go tell Magistrate Su, and I'll go tell my parents."
The two men acted separately, and Pei Yu went directly to find County Magistrate Su and explained his purpose to him.
County Magistrate Su did not hesitate. After all, the fact that Prince Jingnan came to tell him was already a great honor for him as the county magistrate.
"Then will the prince and Miss Shen come back for lunch?"
"No."
"Yes, then I will see the prince out."
Pei Yu waved his hand, "No need."
Shen Li walked to the side of Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui. They were looking at Shen Mochi. As for Shen Jingyuan and his wife, they had already walked away.
"Dad and Mom."
"Ali, why are you here? Do you have something to ask your parents?"
"Well," Shen Li patted Shen Mochi's head before speaking: "Ayu and I are going out to play and will be back in the afternoon."
Shen Changshan nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
He understood without Ali explaining it clearly that Magistrate Su and Madam Su were obviously much more reserved today than they were that day, obviously because of Pei Yu's identity.
"Well, let's go then."
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Shen Mochi looking at her eagerly, so she asked, "Mom, why don't I take Ah Chi away so you don't worry about him making trouble here."
"Need not."
Lin Cuicui refused without a second thought, "Mom and your dad can take good care of Achi, you and Zi'an can go and have fun."
It is obvious that Ali and Zi'an want to have some time for themselves. If there is a child with them, can it still be called a time for themselves?
If the two of them had not been engaged, Lin Cuicui and Shen Changshan would not agree to them going out to play so openly.
The light in Shen Mochi's eyes suddenly went out, and he just watched his aunt walk away gracefully.
"Okay, grandpa will take you to the mountains to hunt someday."
"OK!"
He suddenly became energetic again. He liked to go hunting in the mountains with Shen Changshan, but because he was still young, he didn't dare to take him there often for fear of danger.
Shen Qi'an and Su Zhihui looked at each other from afar across the chrysanthemums. He saw the anxiety in Su Zhihui's heart and gave her a soothing smile, telling her not to worry.
Su Zhihui's inner anxiety was indeed calmed down a little by his smile. She turned around and saw her mother, who smiled at her.
Mrs. Su naturally saw this scene, but she said nothing.
