Chapter 207 Someone coming from Beijing
On this day, Xie Yan received a reply letter from Beijing.
After opening it and reading it, he quietly put the letter away and looked at the scenery outside the window.
He could guess what his parents meant, but when it came to marriage, his parents' orders came first and he couldn't disobey.
However, the decision he made cannot be changed.
No one can ruin his marriage with Wanyue.
Time flows quietly. After transplanting the sweet potato seedlings, there is almost nothing left to do in the fields.
Most people were repairing their houses, some were patching them up, some were replacing tiles, and some were rebuilding. Zhao Dafa's blue brick house was also completed.
As the weather gets colder, people with nothing to do start making winter clothes early.
Go up the mountain to chop firewood and store it.
That day, Xie Yan came to the Li family to pick up Old Man Shen and his wife and take them back to town.
Old Lady Shen asked, "Arriving tomorrow? Your mother and uncle are coming so early this time?"
"Your birthday is in five days. It's not too early now."
Old Mrs. Shen sighed: "I am very happy living here. I really don't want to go back."
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "It would be nice if you can come back after the old lady's birthday."
Old Mrs. Shen had no choice but to nod and say, "Yueyue, you and your family must come to attend your grandmother's birthday party when the time comes."
"good."
"Grandma doesn't need anything. You don't need to buy any gifts. As long as you come, I'm happy."
"I see."
Old Mrs. Shen and the nanny went to pack up.
Li Wanyue leaned on the table with her face buried in her arms.
Xie Yan rubbed her head amusedly and asked in a low voice: "Are you worried about your grandmother's birthday gift?"
"Yes, please be polite, old man. I can't really go empty-handed. Besides, this is the first time I attend your grandmother's birthday party, so I have to prepare a good gift."
"Grandma loves delicious food. You are such a good cook. Why don't you make a dish that no one else has ever seen?"
Li Wanyue looked up at him: "Are you serious?"
"Seriously, my grandmother has seen a lot of good things in her life, and she has no interest in material possessions anymore."
"You can't just make one dish."
"Then make two. It's just right that I can try them too. Otherwise, make three. Grandfather Yu and the uncles will definitely fight over them. If you make less, there won't be enough for them to eat."
"I suspect that you are trying to trick me on purpose, and I have evidence." Li Wanyue gritted her teeth and punched his arm as she spoke.
She was thinking seriously about a gift, but he deliberately gave her bad advice.
Xie Yan covered his arm with a look of pain on his face: "Ah, my arm is broken, how can I eat in the future? You have to be responsible, and you will have to feed me when I eat in the future."
"Hello? Okay, how about feeding him this way?" Li Wanyue picked up a large piece of snack and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth.
Xie Yan was choked and had to drink tea to calm down.
"My broken arm is now healed. I am truly a miracle doctor."
Xie Yan chuckled: "I won't tease you anymore."
Qingfeng on the side was almost petrified. His grandfather had such a side to him.
So when Xie Yan asked him to get something, he had to call him several times before he heard him.
A moment later, Qingfeng came back with a small rosewood box.
Xie Yan took it and handed it to Li Wanyue: "Here, I prepared it for you."
Li Wanyue opened it and saw that it was a scripture.
Xie Yan said: "Grandma likes to read scriptures. This Diamond Sutra was written by a great monk and was offered in front of the Buddha for a whole year. I give it to you."
Li Wanyue looked at him in surprise: "So generous."
"Yes, I went through a lot of trouble to find this. I was going to give it to myself, but now I give it to you. You must remember my kindness."
"Okay, can I say 'Thank you, sir, for being so kind' once every morning and evening?"
"Sure, but you have to change it to 'Ayan is so nice to me, I want to like him more'."
Li Wanyue almost choked. When did this guy become narcissistic?
Qingfeng on the side was completely petrified. Is this still his master?
Besides, could these two people not flirt with each other in front of him, an unmarried young man?
Seeing her speechless expression, Xie Yan smiled, then apologized: "I'm sorry, I said I would come to propose marriage as soon as possible, but it took so long."
"It doesn't matter. You said that the engagement letter is not in your hands. Besides, marriage is a big deal. Even if you are not close to your parents, this relationship cannot be severed. You must have their consent."
"I will definitely do what I promised you, and I will never break my promise."
Li Wanyue smiled and nodded: "I believe you."
Xie Yan smiled, and they looked at each other and smiled.
The house in the town had always been taken care of, so the old couple didn't need to take anything with them. They simply packed a few pieces of clothing and daily necessities and left.
Two days later, Xie Yan and Shen Yu welcomed the visitors from the capital outside the county town.
Soon, a group of carriages and horses slowly approached.
There were more than a dozen carriages, plus guards and maids, it was a huge group.
When the men and horses came closer, Xie Yan and Shen Yu dismounted.
As they walked forward, the curtain of the carriage opened, and the eldest master Shen Xiuwen, the second master Shen Xiuyuan, and the third master Shen Xiuyi got out of the carriage, followed by their wives, and then Xie Zhenghuai and Shen Jinyu, as well as several younger generations of the Shen family who had a good relationship with Xie Yan and Shen Yu.
The others just lifted the car curtain and took a look, but did not get out. After all, this was not the place to talk.
In one of the carriages, a young girl lifted the curtain and looked at the handsome young man.
I haven't seen him for a long time. He looks and looks better than before. I can't help but raise the corners of my lips.
Seeing this, Xie Shuyan joked, "Sister Yuyan, what interesting thing did you see? Why are your cheeks a little red?"
"Sister Shuyan is making fun of me again."
Xie Shuyan smiled, Sister Yuyan and her second brother were such a perfect match. Her second brother was really something, hiding in this remote place. However, if Sister Yuyan married him in the future, with the help of Master Su, her second brother would be able to return to Beijing to be an official.
Xie Yan and Shen Yu greeted each other one by one, then took their people to a manor.
This manor is the best one owned by County Magistrate Cao. It is built by the lake and has beautiful scenery. Xie Yan bought it and has had it tidied up.
When we arrived at the manor, Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen were waiting at the door.
Everyone got off the car and came forward to greet him.
Old Mr. and Mrs. Shen smiled lovingly, and then asked someone to go to the front hall to talk.
Xie Shuyan pulled Su Yuyan to catch up with Xie Yan.
"Second brother, you haven't greeted me and Sister Yuyan yet."
Xie Yan turned around, and Su Yuyan smiled gently: "Brother Yan, long time no see."
Xie Yan thought about it and remembered who it was. He nodded: "Miss Su, long time no see, why are you here?"
Seeing his indifferent expression, Su Yuyan's joy seemed to be dampened.
She said, "It's Madam Shen's birthday, and my grandmother asked me to come and celebrate on behalf of my family."
"I see." Xie Yan looked at Xie Shuyan: "Miss Su has come from afar, you should take good care of her and don't let anything happen to her."
He cannot take responsibility if something goes wrong on his turf.
But his casual words had a deeper meaning to others.
After Xie Yan left, Xie Shuyan said with a smile: "Sister Yuyan, my brother asked me to take good care of you."
Su Yuyan felt better, he cared about her.
