Chapter 397 It’s done
Shen Li and Pei Yu stayed in the lotus pond at the back of the 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 just 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 matter in mind. She was the second young lady of the Bai family in Qingxi County, right?
It was already sunset when the two returned to Qingxi County. Mo Qing sat at the door while Wen Lan stood beside him, shielding him from the sun with an umbrella.
Pei Yu got off the horse and handed it to the servant beside him. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Mo Qing's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are these mushrooms growing here in the sun?"
Shen 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, but he went out to play by himself. Leaving him alone here, bored, would that just make him grow mushrooms?
"Where did you go to play today?"
Seeing his aggressive questioning, Pei Yu did not get annoyed and asked back, "We are going out to play as an engaged couple, why are you following us? If you have nothing to do, take Wen Lan out for a walk."
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, and he heard Pei Yu say: "She is a little girl, and she has been traveling with you all over the country. She will encounter danger. Not only do you not want to treat her well, but you also drag her to play tricks with you."
Mo Qing's fair face suddenly turned red. This was an old calendar that had been there for so many years, yet this guy was able to dig it up.
Shen Li had already figured out that these two people could not get together. If they did, they would be like a pair of crows. But in fact, their relationship 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, Shen Li secretly shook her head in her heart. When will Mo Qing be able to look straight into her heart?
Don't let the girl get angry and run away, then you will regret it.
Shen 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?" Shen 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 and nothing happened. I followed what Matchmaker Chen said this morning and did not mention the marriage proposal. When we left, Magistrate Su and his wife saw us off to the gate."
Shen Li: "What are your parents planning to do?"
"I have discussed this with your father and plan to propose marriage tomorrow. If the Luo family neither refuses nor agrees, then we will propose marriage tomorrow."
Shen Li nodded. She might not agree tomorrow, but 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 will go 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."
Shen 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 of more chores and share your burdens."
Shen Li raised her head and retorted, "Who said mother is useless? A family with mother is a complete family, and a child with mother is a treasure, Dad, right?"
Shen Changshan nodded hurriedly. Lin Cuicui said it herself, but he dared not say it out loud, otherwise, his wife's fist would not be to be resisted.
He didn't dare let his children know this, otherwise it would destroy his reputation as a father.
Wen Lan was very envious of them getting 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.
The young master...
Just as I thought of Mo Qing, I saw him and the prince walking in from outside.
At 9:00 a.m. on the second day, the Shen family showed up at the county magistrate's residence with the betrothal gifts on time. Matchmaker Chen also went with them. Neither Shen Li nor Pei Yu went.
Just as Shen Li and the others had expected, the Su family did not agree to the marriage directly, nor did they have the slightest 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 dizzy.
"Miss, please take a break. It's useless to walk 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."
Dong Shuang had heard these words dozens of times in just one hour. When she saw the young master walking in, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, how is it, have father and mother agreed?"
"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 rush."
Su Heng drank the tea that was raised to his lips in one gulp before speaking, "It's still the same as that day, I didn't agree nor refuse."
Su Zhihui's brows were about to be knotted, "Brother, why?"
Su Heng sighed, "Sister, you are 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, young master."
Seeing Su Zhihui drink the tea and sit quietly for a long time, Su Heng asked: "Have you figured it out?"
Su Zhihui nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "I've figured it out, brother."
"Then tell me about it."
She pinched the racket in her hand and whispered, "My parents are doing this for my own good. I was just too impatient."
County Magistrate Su and Madam Su outside the yard nodded. This girl could think it through, and it was not in vain that they loved her.
"Let's go, Madam. Ah Hui is just too naive and persistent. If someone points her out, she will figure it out."
