Chapter 39 Master Fan
"Speaking of this, the Su family has been very lively these days." A villager said casually, "Two days ago, a high-ranking official who seemed to be from another place came to visit our remote area. It wasn't just for Mr. Su..."
Du Bai paid a little attention and could see that the old man had a wide range of connections. In this era, although merchants were rich, they did not have a high status. It would be good to be able to meet officials, but if they were true confidants, they would obviously have extraordinary personal charm.
The old Su family house is quite conspicuous among the low adobe houses. After all, after making a fortune, it has been renovated and renovated many times. However, it is not worth mentioning that luxury is even said to be a bit shabby compared to the Su family’s property today.
This is because Mr. Su is a nostalgic person. He spent his childhood in this house and now he hopes to try his best to retain that pure time.
The carriage and horse finally slowly stopped in front of the mansion. Du Bai looked through the curtain. The door plaque seemed to fade slightly after a long time of wind and rain, but the two words "Su Mansion" were still not diminished. It seemed that you could imagine how energetic the author was back then.
A group of servants in front of the door who had been waiting for a long time came forward to help move their luggage, but the owner was still missing.
Old Master Su naturally would not come out to greet him when he was unwell, but the mysterious sister-in-law did not appear either. This made Du Bai's originally curious thoughts temporarily vain.
After getting off the car, Su Wanmiao got off the car with Ying'er's help. The first thing she said was to ask the servant on the side: "Where are grandpa and the second lady?"
"The old man is talking with Lord Fan in the lobby, and the second lady is serving."
The servant dared not hide it and replied immediately.
"Mr. Fan?" Su Wanmiao was slightly stunned when she heard this. The smile of returning home gradually faded away, as if her thoughts had come to her heart. She looked at Du Bai, but she quickly withdrew her gaze, but her uneasiness was beyond words.
"Is it related to me?" Du Bai was a little confused, but he always felt something was wrong, especially after hearing this Lord Fan, not only Wan Miao but also Ying'er's expression changed a little, and she looked at him with a worried look.
"Is it my enemy?" he thought, but he also felt it was unlikely.
How could a former scholar provoke a noble official?
After almost everything was moved, Su Wanmiao, who stopped, seemed to be mentally prepared. She barely showed a gentle smile. She ordered the servant next to her and slowly stepped into the mansion.
Du Bai was about to follow him, but Ying'er deliberately walked two steps slowing down and leaned against him, whispering: "Son-in-law, Mr. Fan's son once pursued the eldest lady, and the master also intended to make it happen. But later... it still didn't work."
He paused, but he suddenly realized it in his heart.
No wonder...love rival?!
"So son-in-law, you should be careful later, Ying'er believes in you..."
After Ying'er said that, she clenched her fists and threw him a little encouragement look. Then she quickly followed Su Wanmiao and looked back at him from time to time.
Du Bai was a little amused and crying, but he had never expected this before, and he still felt a little strange in his heart.
Shaking his head slightly, he threw some strange thoughts out of his head. He packed up his mood and, with a normal heart, officially entered the gate that the Su family has been passed down for hundreds of years.
When you walked through the courtyard in front of the hall, you could vaguely hear the old man's heartfelt laughter coming from the front, and it seemed that the conversation was very friendly.
After walking the last distance, Du Bai finally saw the scene in the lobby clearly.
I saw an old man with a gray hair and a slightly haggard face, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, sitting on the main seat, with a thick mink covering his legs to keep warm. However, he was in good spirits and was talking and laughing with the guests, with a look of majesty as he was back then.
It should be that old man Su.
The guest sitting next to him was a middle-aged man who was not angry and powerful. His voice and voice unconsciously brought a bit of the majesty of an official family, and his identity was not worth guessing. However, this person was wearing a silk casual dress, although it was not luxurious, but if he saw a piece of jade on his waist with sharp eyes, it would be valuable at first glance.
This person should be that Lord Fan.
There is a junior serving on each side of the two elders.
Lord Fan is a young man with distinct facial features and handsome face. He is wearing a brocade suit. From a distance, he can see a gentle and elegant temperament. His conversation is not humble or arrogant. When listening to the communication between the two elders, he will sometimes express his own opinions, which makes both elders nod and praise him.
On the other side is a girl with a look similar to Su Wanmiao. She also has outstanding appearance and is eye-catching, but she is different from her sister's maturity and stability. The slightly upturned curve between her eyebrows and eyes shows that her temperament must not be calm, and it is indeed similar to what she has heard before.
For example, at this time, although she tried very hard to correct her posture and showed a slightly obedient smile, she only had boredom in her eyes. Perhaps in her eyes, sleeping in the room is more interesting than sitting here.
She should be that sister-in-law Su Zhirou.
Until the footsteps came from the courtyard, she turned her head with some joy. When she saw her sister Su Wanmiao, she immediately stood up and walked quickly towards her. She threw herself into Su Wanmiao's arms like a spoiled person and rubbed her.
"Sister...you are finally here!"
She made a coquettish voice like a kitten purring.
Seeing this scene, Du Bai couldn't help but laugh and thought: "This sister-in-law is indeed extraordinary..."
"You are not a child anymore." Su Wanmiao felt the eyes of the people in the hall, and couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly urged her to have a straight face and not make trouble.
"Wanmiao, you are back!" Old Master Su looked at her and smiled kindly, then turned his gaze to Du Bai beside him, as if he was a little relieved, "It's good that he's back."
"Well, grandpa. Wanmiao is back." Su Wanmiao couldn't resist her willful sister and had to answer like this, "I could have arrived one day earlier, but some things on the road were delayed..."
Out of courtesy, Du Bai stepped forward and politely said, "Son-in-law Du Bai has met his grandfather."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that his surroundings were focused on him.
Whether it was Wanmiao's worried eyes, her sister-in-law's slightly hostile eyes, or the slightly meaningful scrutiny of Lord Fan, and the somewhat emotional hidden under her gentleness in the end, he noticed them one by one.
"It seems that trouble is coming." Du Bai sighed lightly.
