Chapter 347 The He Family
Su Liangyu's eyes flashed, but he hesitated to speak.

I suddenly feel very lost...

Chai Xiu'e quickly regained her composure, and said with a soft smile, "We parted that day, and I never expected to meet again. We are really destined." She murmured to herself, "If my brother was here, he would definitely I never thought I would meet you again..."

Su Liangyu nodded lightly: "Yeah, I haven't thought about it either."

Chai Xiu'e didn't know that Su Liangyu had sent someone to inquire about her and her brother's whereabouts after returning that year, but they didn't inquire.

She didn't know that her brother left a deep impression on Su Liangyu back then, so much so that three years later, Su Liangyu would still think of that rainy day from time to time, and the scene of sheltering from the rain in the same gazebo.

However, can she still see the man who gave her the umbrella back then?

Su Liangyu sighed softly in her heart, barely audible.

The carriage was exhausted all day, and Chai Xiu'e was also a little tired. She covered her mouth with her hands and yawned softly.

Seeing this, Su Liangyu got up and said softly, "You must be tired after riding in the carriage all day. Take a rest. Let's go to He's house together tomorrow morning."

Chai Xiu'e agreed with a smile, and she sent Su Liangyu away in person.

In the cold night, Su Liangyu was walking down the long veranda, she bit her lower lip tightly, feeling a little lost.

For three years, she always felt that she could forget.

However, as time went by, the figure in my heart became clearer, following her like a shadow every day, and even when I fell asleep at night, I often dreamed of that heavy rainy day, dreamed of that black figure, dreamed of a pair of bright as star's eyes...

She was really scared, afraid that this kind of memory would stay in her mind for a lifetime, and then she would never be free in this lifetime.

She sighed softly, stood under the moon and looked up, but in the vast starry sky, she still saw that heroic cheek.

The servant girl Chun'er behind her saw that Su Liangyu was shaking all over, thought she was cold, so she hurried over to help her and said, "It's cold and the dew is heavy, you should go back to your room and rest."

Su Liangyu didn't speak any more, just let Chun'er help her back to the room, and when she arrived in the room, she ordered Chun'er to take out the yellowed oilcloth umbrella, gently holding it in her hand and rubbing it back and forth...

The maid who served her to shelter from the rain in the gazebo that day was Chun'er.

Chun'er stared at the umbrella and felt very heavy.

Her young lady always asks her to take out this umbrella when she has something on her mind. She is not too young, so she still knows a little bit about the affairs of men and women.

The most hurtful thing in this world is the elusive and uncontrollable relationship between men and women, and her young lady seems to be deeply involved in it and cannot extricate herself...

Chun'er walked over slowly and closed half of the window, and said calmly, "Since you wanted to ask about the whereabouts of that young master back then, why didn't you ask clearly?"

This is not what she should say as a maid, as if she is instigating her young lady to have a private meeting with a man.

However, in the past three years, only she knew about Su Liangyu's torment and struggle. Sometimes when Su Liangyu suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, she would take this umbrella and stare blankly for a long time...

Su Liangyu's face changed slightly, but she didn't blame Chun'er, she just said lightly: "It's none of your business, you go down, I want to be alone and quiet..."

Chun'er shook her head, turned around and pushed the door out.

Su Liangyu let out a long breath, but her eyes suddenly turned red.

Some people and some things are destined to be out of reach, so what if she asks?Even if she knew the whereabouts of Chai Zeng, what could she do?
Should she take this umbrella to find him?
No, she couldn't do that, and she couldn't do such a thing.

Looking at the umbrella in her hand again, she felt empty and uncomfortable again. She couldn't help but get up and lay down on the couch with the umbrella in her arms, letting her tears rage...

…………

And Lu Zhaoping packed up Su Ziwen's things overnight, and before five o'clock, she sent Su Ziwen to Baoding Mansion.

Su Ziwen didn't even have time to say goodbye to Lu Shuyi, but Lu Zhaoping promised again and again: "As long as you pass the exam, I will propose marriage for you..."

Su Ziwen only felt that the world was filled with hope, so he happily resigned from Mrs. Su and Mrs. Lu and went to Baoding Mansion to take the exam early.

Knowing that Su Ziwen was leaving, Lu Shuyi put her heart into her stomach.

She only asked Su Ziwen to be named on the gold list this time, so that she could feel at ease.

After all, Su Ziwen is such a kind person...

Everyone packed up, and at [-]:[-] a.m., they took a carriage and sedan chair and rushed to He's house in Longchang Hutong.

This time, He Zhaoer was married far away, so the time for watching the ceremony was set at noon. After relatives and friends watched the ceremony at noon, they would send the dowry and the bride directly to the carriage, and then take the waterway to Yangzhou.

When everyone arrived at the He's house, the He's house had already hung up the happy lanterns and changed the red couplets. There was an endless stream of guests and it was very lively.

Chai Xiu'e had never participated in such a lively wedding banquet before, she said softly to Lu Shuyi: "It's just a matter of pomp and circumstance for all of you to marry a daughter, we don't have so many people from small families..."

Lu Shuyi just laughed, and joked: "When you get married, it might be even more lively than this."

Chai Xiu'e blushed and stopped talking to her.

However, He Zhaoer's wedding banquet was indeed very lively, probably because of the Empress Dowager He, and many official wives and ladies came.

When He Zhaoer got married in the previous life, Lu Shuyi had already been imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, so she couldn't see He Zhaoer's appearance when she got married.

Mrs. Lu came to watch the ceremony in person, and brought all the female family members of the Lu family. Mrs. He was naturally happy, and greeted them to the flower hall with a smile.

The three flower halls were filled with dark people, and it was hard to tell who they knew or not. Only a few tables on the right had vacancies, but there were still a few elderly ladies sitting beside those tables. .

Those old ladies seemed to be people of status, and they were well dressed and well mannered.

Mrs. He Er smiled and introduced: "This is Zhou Lao'an, the mother of Mr. Zhou, the Minister of Rites, and this is Chen Lao'an, the mother of Chen Shangshu..."

The other two are the mothers of Xu Yuanwailang and Yang Yuanwailang, these people are here to cheer Mr. He Ge...

Mrs. He Er introduced Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Su again.

Everyone nodded politely to each other, and then took their seats separately.

Lu Shuqing couldn't help but whispered to Lu Shujing: "Let's go and see Cousin Zhao'er, she must be very beautiful as a bride today."

Lu Shujing was not interested in He Zhaoer, so she didn't want to see it.

She shook her head: "I still want to stay with my mother, if you want to go, you can go."
