Chapter 544, Touching Porcelain
The third courtyard of the Su Mansion.
Mrs. Su was surprised when she heard what her husband said. "Why did Father agree again? Did Wen Kai come into the house and talk to Father about something today?"
Master Su San was reluctant to reveal Yan Wenkai's identity as a Jinling Guard, so he could only vaguely say, "This is something my father has carefully considered. Weren't you also willing before?"
Madam Su pondered for a moment. "Okay, I'll go ask Shiyu what she thinks. Madam Li will be returning to Ningmen Mansion after the Li family's wedding is over. If my daughter also has feelings for Wenkai, I can have Hongxin bring Shiyu over on the wedding day to join in the fun. This will also show our family's attitude."
Master Su San nodded and said, "You decide."
Mrs. Su immediately went to the yard where her daughter lived. As soon as she entered, she found her daughter smiling foolishly at a glass lamp, and she didn't even notice her coming.
"Ahem~"
Mrs. Su coughed, which brought Su Shiyu back to her senses.
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Shiyu was a little flustered and helped Madam Su sit down: "I didn't think about anything."
Seeing her daughter's shy face, Madam Su remembered her son's visit just now, and that he had come from the front yard. She immediately said calmly, "Mrs. Li came to our house yesterday, and her words and deeds revealed that she wanted to propose marriage to our family."
Seeing her daughter nervously twisting her handkerchief, Mrs. Su continued, "If I marry you to Yan Wenkai, would you be willing?"
Hearing this, Su Shiyu's breathing stagnated, and her face and ears quickly turned red.
Seeing this, Madam Su understood immediately. She didn't know when her daughter fell in love with Wen Kai. Thinking that her daughter had something on her mind but didn't tell her, Madam Su felt a little disappointed. She couldn't help but teasing her, "If you don't say anything, then I will take it as your disapproval."
Hearing this, Su Shiyu suddenly became anxious, but she was too embarrassed to say she was willing, so she could only lower her head and whisper, "Daughters always listen to their parents."
The Jinling Guard stronghold of the provincial government.
Yan Wenkai looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "Yeyang, when did you start investigating the various families in Zhongzhou? How come my third brother and I didn't know anything about it?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly and said, "If you all knew everything, I, the deputy commander, would have to give up my position." Then he snorted, "If I didn't have some skills and abilities, would you two and the others be able to follow me with peace of mind?"
Yan Wenkai scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "That's true."
Yan Wentao couldn't help but ask, "If we go to the Su family like this today, will the Su family agree to Wen Kai's proposal?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the two of them and said, "Jinling Guards are much more popular than you think. You only became Jinling Guards without going through the selection because of Daohua and I. You should know that others who want to become Jinling Guards have to go through multiple levels of selection, which is even more difficult than the martial arts imperial examination."
"The Jinling Guards are the emperor's trusted confidants and can arrest anyone. Although Daxia officials are wary of them, it is still a very glorious thing to have relatives or friends who are Jinling Guards."
Hearing this, Yan Wentao's heart moved. In this case, could he also have some hope?
Someone brought some information over, and Xiao Yeyang waved his hand: "Okay, stop standing here and get to work."
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Li Zixuan got married.
Early in the morning, the entire Li family was busy.
In order to watch the ancient wedding process, Daohua also got up early and ran to the bridal chamber with Li Zixin to watch the bride put on makeup and dress up.
Near noon, a maid came to report that Su Hongxin had come with Su Shiyu.
Daohua was a little surprised, but soon became happy again. The Su brothers and sisters came here at this time. Does it mean that they can easily marry Sister Su to the fourth brother?
"Sister Su!"
Daohua and Li Zixin received Su Shiyu at the hanging flower goalkeeper.
Su Shiyu looked at Daohua embarrassedly: "My mother asked me to come and share in her happiness. I hope I didn't disturb you by coming here without your permission."
Madam Su asked me to come!
Daohua's eyes lit up, and she smiled and took her arm: "How could it bother you? We are so happy that you can come."
Li Zixin nodded repeatedly: "That's right, it's really a great honor for us to have Miss Su come to our home."
Daohua pulled Su Shiyu and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the bride. You should also take a good look at what a bride looks like when she gets married. This will give you some experience in the future."
When Su Shiyu heard this, she felt a little embarrassed and pinched Daohua's cheek gently: "You are the best at talking nonsense."
Daohua quickly begged for mercy and said she would never do it again.
Soon, the three of them returned to their new home.
As soon as Yang Xiujun saw Su Shiyu, her face darkened.
Why did Miss Su come to the Li family?
Didn’t they say before that the Su family was unwilling to accept the Yan family’s bride?
When Yang Xiujun saw Mrs. Li enthusiastically and affectionately holding Su Shiyu's hand and introducing her to everyone, with joy and satisfaction on her face, she was completely panicked.
Not long after the bride put on her wedding dress and finished her makeup, the Fang family's people arrived to pick her up.
The Li brothers blocked Fang Liangji at the door and refused to let him in, and asked him a lot of questions to test him.
Li Zixin took Daohua, Su Shiyu and others to watch the fun.
There were many people blocking the door, some asking questions, some asking for red envelopes, and there were waves of loud laughter.
Daohua and the others didn't dare go to the door, but stood at the corner next to the gatehouse.
"Look, cousin Wenkai is making the most noise." Li Zixin smiled and pointed at Yan Wenkai who was blocking Fang Liangji from entering.
Yan Wenkai is a person who loves to be lively, and his voice is the loudest among so many people.
After a while, with the help of relatives and friends, the groom finally dealt with everyone, and then rushed into the Li family's gate with everyone.
Amidst the shoving and pushing of the crowd, Yang Xiujun, who had walked out at some point, suddenly fell down, and happened to fall right towards Yan Wenkai.
Daohua and Su Shiyu were standing a few meters away, talking bad about Yan Wenkai to each other, and they noticed the situation over there at the first time.
The incident happened too suddenly, and many people were still making a fuss. Seeing that Yang Xiujun was about to fall into Yan Wenkai's arms, Daohua quickly pulled out the whip he carried with him, ran a few times, and swung the whip. As soon as the whip wrapped around Yang Xiujun's waist, he pulled her towards him with all his strength.
"oops!"
The final result was that Yang Xiujun bumped into Daohua and they both fell to the ground.
Looking at the two people on the ground, everyone was stunned, even the groom who was welcoming the bride stopped.
"Big sister!"
Yan Wenkai reacted and quickly stepped forward to help Daohua up: "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Daohua's chest was hit so hard by Yang Xiujun that it hurt, but since so many people were watching, she shook her head as if nothing had happened. Seeing Wang Maner and Bishi helping Yang Xiujun up on both sides to make sure she wouldn't cause any more trouble, she smiled and raised the whip in her hand.
"I wanted to test the groom's reaction speed, but he slipped away so quickly that my cousin and I missed him."
The incident happened so suddenly that most people didn't see it clearly. After hearing Daohua's words, they all smiled and continued to surround the groom to pick up the bride. However, a few people looked at Daohua and Yang Xiujun meaningfully.
After the people left, Daohua looked at Yang Xiujun who lowered her head with a sullen face.
Yang Xiujun quickly explained, "Cousin Wenkai, Cousin Yiyi, I didn't mean to do that. Someone pushed me."
Daohua was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. She held back her anger and whispered to Wang Maner, "Cousin Xiujun might have fallen just now. Send her back to the yard and have the maid take good care of her. When it's time for dinner, bring the food to her room."
Hearing this, Yang Xiujun looked at Daohua in disbelief. Was she under house arrest? Thinking of this, she immediately looked at Yan Wenkai pitifully: "Cousin Wenkai."
Yan Wenkai shuddered and instinctively stepped back.
Seeing that she still wanted to talk about her fourth brother, Daohua, who was standing by, didn't give her face anymore: "Cousin Xiuyun, what's happening here will soon reach my mother's ears. You don't want her to send someone to ask you to go back to your room, do you?"
Yang Xiujun's face turned pale and her mind suddenly became clear. She didn't know what happened just now. She got excited and thought that if her cousin Wen Kai hugged her in public, even if the Su family wanted to marry her, her mother and grandmother would make the decision for her.
She never expected that cousin Yi Yi would jump out and ruin her plan.
Not wanting to see Yang Xiujun again, Daohua glanced at Wang Maner and Bishi, signaling them to take the person away quickly.
Yang Xiujun still wanted to struggle, but Wang Maner and Bishi used all their strength and almost carried Yang Xiujun away.
Daohua, concerned about the Li family's reputation, said loudly in order to prevent outsiders from noticing anything: "My cousin has a sprained leg. You two should be careful."
"Are you okay?"
Su Shiyu walked over and looked at Daohua worriedly.
Daohua shook her head and said to her, "When my eldest brother goes to Beijing to deliver the betrothal gifts, my aunt and cousin Xiuyun will leave. They won't stay at my house for long."
Su Shiyu nodded. She knew that Yi Yi was trying to reassure her. The cousin's intention was too obvious. They were all in the harem, so she could see what the cousin was thinking at a glance.
Daohua glanced at Yan Wenkai and said, "Fourth brother, be careful in the future. Try not to get too close to girls. Be careful not to get scammed."
Yan Wenkai: "Big sister, am I really that stupid in your eyes?" He looked at Su Shiyu and said, "I know that men and women shouldn't touch each other. Even if Big sister hadn't made a move just now, I would have dodged it."
