The next day, the Shen family was dressed neatly, even Shen Li and Pei Yu were there.
"Zi'an, are you going too?"
Shen Changshan asked when he saw Pei Yu standing with his daughter.
"Um."
Seeing that he was going to Shen Changshan, he would not stop him. As soon as the group got on the carriage, they heard a voice coming from behind.
"Wait, wait!"
Mo Qing came jogging over, followed by Wen Lan, who was panting.
"Doctor Mo, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Qing held his waist and took a breath, "I'm going too. If you all go, leaving me here alone, it will be so boring!"
“By the way, it’s Shen Qi’an’s engagement, right? When you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift.”
Shen Qi'an stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Dr. Mo."
Shen Changshan: "Then Dr. Mo will wait for a while. I will ask someone to harness a carriage now."
Mo Qing waved his hand and said, "No need to bother. I can just take Pei Zian's carriage."
After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Pei Yu's reaction, but pulled Wen Lan into the carriage.
Pei Yu frowned, but he still said to Shen Changshan in a gentle voice, "Uncle, let's go. Don't waste time."
"OK."
Pei Yu and Shen Li got on the carriage and saw someone sitting steadily inside.
"Oh, what a coincidence!"
When he saw the two men coming up, he greeted them in a provocative manner.
Wen Lan on the side lowered his head and tried to suppress his laughter. Young master really deserves a beating!
No wonder the prince always quarreled with him, it turned out there was a reason.
Pei Yu ignored him and pulled Chen Li to sit down in the carriage.
"Hey, I plan to take Wenlan out to play tomorrow. Let me know when you guys are going to come."
Pei Yu said succinctly: "I will be leaving for Beijing soon."
"How fast is fast?"
"We'll leave after Ali's fourth brother gets engaged."
Mo Qing was shocked: "So fast!"
"No, I just arrived not long ago. Are you leaving again?"
Pei Yu looked at him jumping up and down, but still patiently explained.
"There are many people going to the capital this time, so we will be traveling by carriage. The speed will not be very fast. We must set off early to avoid missing the Wanshou Festival."
Mo Qing withdrew from his cockfighting state and leaned lazily against the wall of the carriage. "Is that so? Wenlan doesn't have to ride a horse then. It's all right."
Chen Li and Pei Yu looked back and forth between Mo Qing and Wen Lan.
Suddenly feeling their gazes, her ears turned red.
Mo Qing noticed it and glared at the two of them.
Chen Li and Pei Yu looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
Mo Qing protected the girl like a chick. They didn't believe that he had no feelings for her.
That's right, he's just being stubborn and refuses to admit anything.
After entering Qingxi County, the carriage first went to pick up Chen the matchmaker and soon arrived at the Su Mansion.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, servants from the Su Mansion welcomed them in.
Magistrate Su and his wife were waiting at the door of the reception room. When they saw Pei Yu coming, they immediately led their two children to pay their respects.
"Meet the prince."
While they were paying their respects, the Shen family members tacitly stepped aside, leaving Pei Yu to appear.
Chen Li also moved a few steps to the side. She was still a commoner and could not bear the bow of the county magistrate and his wife.
"Madam Su, Magistrate of Su County, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up."
After they stood up, the Shen family bowed to the county magistrate and his wife, and then everyone went into the reception room.
Since Pei Yu was there, County Magistrate Su asked him to sit at the head, but he refused. So, he also took his wife to sit at the bottom.
After serving tea and chatting for a few minutes, this time Matchmaker Chen went straight to the marriage.
"Madam Su, the County Magistrate, the Shen family is interested in marrying you two families. What do you think, Madam Su?"
Mrs. Su nodded. The Shen family had come to visit several times in a row. They could do something to Qiao, but not too much.
"The Shen family is a kind and benevolent family. I feel relieved to marry my daughter to Qi An."
Hearing this, Su Zhihui, who was standing behind Madam Su, quietly looked up at Shen Qi'an. When she saw that he was looking at her, her face turned red.
"Well, look at the appearance of these two children. They are really a match made in heaven. The child they will have in the future will be so beautiful."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said the latter part. Once she said it, not only Su Zhihui, but even Shen Qi'an blushed.
Next, the two families exchanged engagement letters and tokens of trust. The Shen family gave Shen Qian'an his favorite jade pendant, which was made by someone and had his name engraved on it.
The Su family also returned a jade pendant that Su Zhihui had worn since she was born.
Chen Li and Pei Yu had been watching from the side without interrupting or saying anything.
Matchmaker Chen looked at the two newly engaged children and said, "Madam, it's a bit stuffy in this room. Why don't you let the children go out for a walk?"
Madam Su nodded. "It's late autumn now, and the weather is very hot. If the room doesn't get some ventilation, we adults can just sit here and chat. Heng'er, you and Ah Hui can take the prince and the others out to play."
"yes."
Su Heng led Chen Li and the other young people to the entrance of the garden. He looked at Pei Yu and said, "Your Highness, there is a pavilion over there. They have prepared some refreshments. Would you like to see it?"
Pei Yu nodded, "In that case, come over and sit down."
So everyone intentionally or unintentionally left behind Shen Qi'an and Su Zhihui. The original purpose of coming out was to let the two of them be alone for a while. Everyone was not a fool, and of course they understood the meaning of Chen the matchmaker's words.
Seeing that they had all gone far away, Su Zhihui raised her head and looked at Shen Qi'an. She found that he was walking towards her. She was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
I wanted to call out to Dongshuang, but when I turned around I found that she had disappeared without a trace.
"Ahui, I've never been to your garden. Would you please take me for a walk?"
"good."
The two of them walked into the garden, but not in the same direction as Chen Li and the others.
Su Zhihui introduced the flowers and trees to him from time to time, and it really was like she was touring the garden.
Shen Qi'an chuckled, and Su Zhihui came back to her senses. She understood the meaning of his words and blushed.
"Shen, Fourth Brother."
Shen Qi'an looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "Ahui, you can call me Qi'an, or Fourth Brother."
Su Zhihui's cheeks flushed, she just nodded without saying anything.
"Ahui, can I hold your hand?"
Su Zhihui felt as if a deer was running around in her heart, and she could feel that her face must be very red.
Looking at the bony hand stretched out in front of me, I mustered up the courage to put my hand on it.
Shen Qi'an tightened his grip slightly, holding that softness in his palm, and took her for a walk in the yard.
Su Zhihui followed him, with a smile on her lips, her eyes fixed on their clasped hands. Her head was like a mess, unable to think.
