Chapter 398 Settlement
The next day, the Shen family was dressed neatly, even Shen Li and Pei Yu were there.
"Zi'an, you want to go too?"
Shen Changshan asked when he saw Pei Yu standing with his daughter.
"Ah."
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.
"Etc., etc!"
Mo Qing came trotting over, followed by Wen Lan, who was panting.
"Doctor Mo, what are you doing?"
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 turn to get engaged, right? When you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift."
Shen Qi'an stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Doctor Mo."
Shen Changshan: "Then Dr. Mo, please 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 delay the time."
"Row."
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 hold back 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 Shen Li to sit down in the carriage.
"Hey, I plan to take Wenlan out to play tomorrow. Tell me when you guys are going to come by."
Pei Yu said succinctly: "I will be leaving for Beijing soon."
"Soon is so soon."
"We will set off 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 horse-drawn 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? Wen Lan doesn't have to ride a horse. It's fine."
Shen Li and Pei Yu looked back and forth between Mo Qing and Wen Lan.
Suddenly I felt their gazes and my ears turned red.
Mo Qing noticed it and glared at the two of them.
Shen Li and Pei Yu looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
This Mo Qing protected the girl like a chick. They didn't believe that he had no feelings towards the girl.
That's right, he's just being stubborn and refuses to admit it.
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 residence 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.
"I've met the prince."
While they were paying their respects, the Shen family members tacitly stepped aside, leaving Pei Yu to see the scene.
Shen Li also moved a few steps to the side. She was still a commoner and could not bear the greeting from the county magistrate and his wife.
"Madam Su, Magistrate of Su County, there is no need to be 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, Magistrate Su asked him to sit at the head, but he refused, so he also led 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?"
Mrs. Su nodded. The Shen family had come to visit several times in a row. They could take advantage of Qiao, but not too much.
"The Shen family is a kind 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 Qian'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 of the sentence. Once she said it, not only Su Zhihui, but even Shen Qian'an blushed.
Next, the two families exchanged engagement letters and tokens of love. The Shen family gave Shen Qian'an his favorite jade pendant, which was made by someone else and had his name engraved on it.
The Su family also returned a jade pendant, which Su Zhihui had worn since birth.
Shen Li and Pei Yu were watching from the side without interrupting.
Matchmaker Chen looked at the two children who had just been engaged and said, "County Magistrate, Madam, this room is a bit stuffy. Why don't we 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 is not ventilated, 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 Shen Li and several other young people to the entrance of the garden, and saw him looking at Pei Yu, "Your Majesty, there is a pavilion over there, and someone has prepared some refreshments, would you like to see it?"
Pei Yu nodded, "In that case, then go over and sit down."
So everyone left Shen Qian'an and Su Zhihui behind intentionally or unintentionally. The original purpose of coming out was to let them be alone for a while. Everyone was not a fool, and of course they understood what Chen the matchmaker meant.
Seeing that they had all gone far away, Su Zhihui raised her head and looked at Shen Qian'an, and 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 Dong Shuang, but when I turned around I found that she had disappeared without me noticing.
"Ahui, I've never been to your garden. Would you mind taking me there?"
"it is good."
The two of them walked into the garden, but not in the same direction as Shen Li and the others.
Su Zhihui introduced flowers and trees to him from time to time, and they really were touring the garden.
Shen Qi'an chuckled, and Su Zhihui came back to her senses. She understood what he meant and blushed.
"Shen, fourth brother."
Shen Qi'an looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "Ah Hui, 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 beating wildly 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 Qian'an tightened his grip slightly, held that softness in his palm, and took her for a walk in the yard.
Su Zhihui followed him, her lips curled up, her eyes fixed on their clasped hands, her head a mess, unable to think.
