husband and wife

Chapter 212

Only then did Xiaolu open the door as she said, and a well-dressed boy stood outside the door, still holding something in his hand, and offered it with both hands: "Come to the door abruptly, this is a small gift ordered by my young master, I hope my wife will accept it with a smile." .”

Su Wan nodded slightly, and Xiao Lu stepped forward to put the things away, Su Wan said: "It's cold at night, my husband's clothes are too thin when he goes out, please wait for a while, I will go indoors to pick up a gown for you Take it with you brother."

The servant bent over and said, "Your Madam, just go, the little one is waiting here."

Su Wan went back to the house and got a piece of clothing for Song Ziheng, and asked Xiaolu to prepare a return gift. They carried it out together and handed it to the servant in person: "It's a mere gift, please don't laugh."

The servant thought he had been instructed, so he didn't dare to be rude, so he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Ma'am, you are welcome, do you have any other orders?"

"It's all right, little brother, just tell Xiang'an to be at ease, don't worry about it at home."

The little servant responded, and then stepped back, Xiaolu quickly bolted the door, her face was forced to be calm just now, her cheeks were already flushed, and she said excitedly: "Miss, my uncle really knows the young master of Anyuanhou's family. Will you be staying at Anyuan Hou’s house tonight? That’s the Hou Ye’s house..." Xiaolu’s legs were almost weak from excitement. The biggest official she had ever seen in her life was the county magistrate, who was in the county and was still kneeling at the The ground didn't dare to look up, for fear of being caught by the officials, and now her uncle went to Lord Hou's house, oh my god...

Su Wan chuckled with unknown meaning: "Is your son-in-law a thing in the pond?"

Xiaolu kept nodding her head, but when she looked carefully, she was smiling like sleepwalking. She clearly didn't hear what Su Wan was saying. Thinking about it, the greatest honor of many ordinary people in life is to see a nobleman with their own eyes. Dad saw Zhizhou in Jiangzhou City last time, and he didn't know how many times he told people when he returned to the county, let alone the nobles in Beijing, not to mention anything else, how can ordinary people go to the residence of Lord Marquis?No wonder Xiaolu was so excited, but Da Niu came back with a pale face and reported that he had asked several masters in the inn, saying that my uncle only stayed in the inn for less than an hour, and then left with other friends.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lu hurriedly said: "Brother Big Niu, you don't know, just now the young man from Anyuanhou's family came to report that our aunt was invited by his young master as a guest, and he won't be coming back tonight!"

"Marquis Anyuan?" Daniel was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't recovered from the previous turmoil, he was afraid that his son-in-law was going out, but now he was told that he was a guest at a nobleman's house. It took a while to react, and said again and again, "Okay, that's great! You are indeed my uncle, and you can get the favor of the young master in the noble man's house."

In contrast, Su Wan was much calmer, and said with a smile: "Go and serve the food on the table, it's so late, we should also eat."

Xiaolu and Daniu looked at each other, and then each collected their minds. The two forced their composure and went to the kitchen. What they thought in their hearts was that the lady is so calm and composed, and they can't get too excited and behave like country people. It's like entering the city, without losing the face of the young lady and uncle.

After all the fuss today, it's already late after dinner, Su Wan naturally wouldn't go out for a walk at this time, after washing up, she went back to her room, maybe she's used to two people, Su Wan is lying on the bed alone tonight It was warm under the blanket holding Mrs. Tang, but I couldn't fall asleep for a while, and felt that it was too dark. Then I remembered that Song Ziheng usually lit the lamp and sat on the bedside to read, and she slept under the blanket. .

Su Wan simply sat up, smeared and found the fire folder, lit the oil lamp, and the house was lit up immediately. Xiaolu had just finished tidying up and was about to go back to her own room, but saw the light in the main room, and hurried to the bedside and asked: "Miss, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's too dark and I can't sleep."

"Then how about I come in and turn off the lights when Miss falls asleep?"

Su Wan said: "Then come around when you are young."

"Yes."

Because she had to get up in the middle of the night to turn off the lights for Su Wan, Xiao Lu did not fall asleep, so she woke up when there was any movement outside the courtyard in the middle of the night. At first, she thought it was the wind blowing, but when she listened carefully, it seemed that someone was talking. Lu hurriedly got up, put on his coat and hurried to the next door to shout to Daniel: "Brother Daniel, I saw someone talking outside the door."

After a while, the door of Daniel's room opened and he asked, "Who is talking?"

"Hush." ​​Xiaolu said, "Keep your voice down, don't wake up Miss, she doesn't fall asleep easily these days."

Daniu nodded, but he heard someone knocking on the door, and hurriedly said to Xiaolu: "You stay in the courtyard, I'll go out and have a look."

Xiaolu walked to the door of Su Wan's house, thinking that if something happened, she could protect her young lady, but she heard Daniel calling to herself outside: "Xiaolu, come and help me, my uncle."

Xiaolu ran over quickly, Daniel was supporting his uncle, and opposite was the young servant from Anyuan Hou's family whom he had seen before and a strange maid, the young servant laughed and said: "Sorry for bothering you so late, Mr. Song thinks it is Drunk, refused to sleep in the Hou's Mansion, thinking that he could not rest assured Madam, the young master was really helpless, so he could only ask the younger one to send Young Master Song back temporarily, I hope you will forgive me for bothering you."

Hearing this, Xiaolu glanced at Young Master, he was still so plump and handsome, he didn't look like he was drunk, seeing her look over, he still asked clearly: "Where's your lady?"

"Miss is asleep, why don't you rest in the wing room for a night?"

"No, I'm looking for a wife."

There was a flash of understanding in Xiaolu's eyes, she was indeed drunk, and my uncle would never say such a thing on weekdays.

After Song Ziheng finished speaking, he wanted to push Daniel away, and he wanted to walk into the courtyard, but he was staggering, and Daniel quickly followed up to help, Xiaolu smiled apologetically at the servant of Anyuan Hou's family: "Sorry, my uncle doesn't drink too much , causing trouble to your mansion."

"Don't dare..." the servant blurted out, but the servant girl who had been silent just now interrupted the servant with a smile, and said, "Mr. Song is the young master's distinguished guest, so why bother? This younger sister is too polite."

The little servant came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and the servant girl said again: "My young master originally wanted to keep Mr. Song to stay for a night, but Mr. Song was worried about his family, so he had to send Mr. Song back like this. , I'm really sorry if I disturbed your lady..."

Hearing these words, Xiaolu didn't answer, because the door of Su Wan's room had already been opened, she put on a cloak and stood at the door, asking in a sleepy voice: "Xiaolu, what's wrong?"

"Miss, uncle is back."
