Chen Li and Pei Yu stayed in the lotus pond in the back mountain for half an hour, and then spent another half an hour walking down the mountain. In fact, if they wanted to go down the mountain, they could reach the foot of the mountain in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
But since they were here to climb the mountain today, they would naturally walk. Anyway, this distance was not very tiring for them.
When I returned to the foot of the mountain and went to the stable to get the horse, I found that there were two sights behind me. It was not obvious, but it was not subtle either.
The two looked at each other and instantly thought of what had just happened in the pavilion halfway up the mountain.
He mounted his horse and galloped forward as if nothing had happened, and soon left the people behind him behind.
Pei Yu kept this in mind. She was the second young lady of the Bai family in Qingxi County, right?
It was sunset when the two returned to Qingxi County. Mo Qing sat at the door, and Wen Lan stood beside him, shielding him from the sun with an umbrella.
Pei Yu dismounted and handed the horse to a servant beside him. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Qing's expression and asked, "What's going on? Are you growing mushrooms here, basking in the sun?"
Chen Li: “…”
She had said this unintentionally before, but she didn't expect Pei Yu to remember it.
Mo Qing felt a lump in his throat. He followed Pei Yu here, but he went out to play by himself. He was left here alone and bored. Wouldn't that just be like growing mushrooms?
"Where did you go today?"
Seeing his aggressive questioning, Pei Yu didn't get annoyed and asked, "We're going out to play as an engaged couple, why are you following us? If you have nothing to do, take Wenlan out for a walk more often."
Wen Lan was holding an umbrella in her hand, and her cheeks turned slightly red when he said that.
Mo Qing's arrogance instantly dissipated a lot. He heard Pei Yu say, "She's a little girl. She traveled with you all over the country and encountered danger. Not only do you not want to treat her well, but you also drag her to play tricks on you."
Mo Qing's fair face suddenly turned red. This was an old calendar that had been there for so many years, and this guy could still dig it up.
Chen Li had long seen that these two people could not get together. If they did, they would be like a pair of black chicken eyes. But in fact, the relationship between the two was not bad, it was just that the way they got along was a little different.
He walked forward and pulled Wenlan, "Wenlan, don't worry about them, let's go in first."
Although Wen Lan knew that the two would not fight, he was still a little worried and looked back several times halfway through the journey.
Seeing this, Chen Li secretly shook her head in her heart. When will Mo Qing be able to look directly into her heart?
Don’t let the girl get angry and run away, then you’ll regret it.
Chen Li didn't expect that her casual complaint would actually come true, but that happened later.
"Dad and Mom, I'm back. How did your visit to the Su family today turn out?" Chen Li asked loudly as she entered the yard.
Lin Cuicui came back and rested for a while. She had just rearranged the betrothal gifts and now sat down to rest.
"Ali, today went smoothly. Nothing happened. I followed what Matchmaker Chen said this morning and didn't mention the marriage proposal. When we left, Magistrate Su and his wife saw us off to the gate."
Chen Li: "What are your parents planning?"
"I've discussed this with your father and plan to propose marriage tomorrow. If the Luo family neither refuses nor agrees, then we'll go propose marriage tomorrow."
Chen Li nodded. She might not agree tomorrow, but she might agree the day after tomorrow.
"It's good that my parents know what's going on."
"Don't worry, your father and I know what's going on."
Shen Changshan suddenly asked, "By the way, A-Li, when are we leaving?"
"Qi Chen is going to the capital in four days. Has mother prepared everything?"
Lin Cuicui: "I'm ready, don't worry, I even asked Brother Tianqing about the weather in the capital and prepared it just now."
Chen Li leaned on her shoulder, "Mom is becoming more and more considerate."
Lin Cuicui touched her hairline and said, "Mother is useless. I can't do anything for you. I can only think about some more chores and share your burdens."
Chen Li raised her head and retorted, "Who said mother is useless? A family with a mother is a complete family, and a child with a mother is a treasure, Dad, right?"
Shen Changshan nodded hurriedly. Although Lin Cuicui said it was okay herself, he would never dare to say it out loud, otherwise, his wife's fist would not be to be trifled with.
He didn't dare let his children know about this, otherwise it would undermine his prestige as a father.
Wen Lan was very envious of them as they got along, but she didn't know where her parents were. She was abandoned since she was a child and was picked up by the old doctor to keep the young master company.
No one knows his name or where his home is. The name Wenlan was given by an old doctor.
Young Master...
Just as I thought of Mo Qing, I saw him and the prince walking in from outside.
At 9:00 am on the second morning, the Shen family showed up at the county magistrate's residence with the betrothal gifts, accompanied by matchmaker Chen. Neither Chen Li nor Pei Yu went.
Just as Chen Li and the others had expected, the Su family did not directly agree to the marriage, nor did they have any intention of refusing. They entertained the Shen family with kind words and finally sent them to the gate.
Su Zhihui was in her yard, walking around in circles, making Dong Shuang beside her almost dizzy.
"Miss, please take a break. It's useless to keep wandering around here. Don't tire yourself out."
"Dong Shuang, how could Mother not let me go out?"
"I don't know why my father and mother didn't agree to the Shen family's proposal."
In just one hour, Dong Shuang had heard these words dozens of times. When she saw the young master walking in, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, how is it? Did father and mother agree?"
"No."
"Ah, how could this happen!"
Su Heng calmly sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Su Zhihui ran up to him and said, "Brother, please tell me!"
"Let me finish my tea first, don't be impatient."
Su Heng drank the tea that was raised to his lips in one gulp before speaking, "It's still the same as that day, neither agreeing nor refusing."
Su Zhihui's brows were about to be knotted into a knot, "Brother, why?"
Su Heng sighed, "Sister, you are too impatient. Calm down. I don't believe you can't understand such a simple truth."
After that, he poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "Drink the tea. You've been so anxious these past two days that you've even got internal heat."
Then she looked at the maid beside her and said, "Go and ask the kitchen to make a soup for the young lady to relieve dryness."
"Yes, Master."
After seeing Su Zhihui drink her tea and sit quietly for a while, Su Heng asked, "Have you figured it out?"
Su Zhihui nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "I understand, big brother."
"Then tell me about it."
She pinched the racket in her hand and whispered, "Mom and Dad are doing this for my own good. I was just too impatient."
Outside the yard, County Magistrate Su and Madam Su nodded. It was worthwhile for them to love this girl since she could think it through.
"Let's go, Madam. Ah Hui is just too naive and persistent. If someone points her out, she will figure it out."
