Chapter 480 Meeting sincerely
After talking about the business, Yan Shu followed Xu Shuangxue back to her yard.
"Sister Xu must go there when we move house in two days. You and my eldest brother will live there after you get married. If my future sister-in-law is dissatisfied with anything, she can let my eldest brother fix it before we get married. Fan."
Xu Shuangxue took Yan Shu's hand, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Sister Shu'er, thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, Yan Wen and I wouldn't be where we are today. I know you must have paid for that house. You have helped us so much, and I will definitely do it." Remember it well."
Yan Shu smiled and said, "We are almost a family. Sister Xu, don't want to be separated from me. Although I paid for the house, my eldest brother is very stubborn. He wants to make money to pay me back no matter what, but I can't resist him." He is a stubborn ass, but the eldest brother is indeed a responsible man, and when Sister Xu gets married, he will definitely listen to you in everything."
Xu Shuangxue's cheeks were slightly red and she said a little shyly: "Husbands and wives should support each other and do everything through consultation. I still have to listen to him on major matters."
"My eldest brother talks less and is like a boring gourd sometimes. Sister Xu will be more responsible in the future."
"It's better to talk less, not so much sweet words." From the moment he risked his life to save her, she had determined that he was a reliable man.
Yan Shu secretly laughed in his heart, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and his eldest brother Meng Hulu's temperament was both an advantage in Sister Xu's opinion.
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Shuangxue said: "I had two sets of facial hair made a while ago. One set was used to prepare for the wedding day, and the other set was specially ordered for you. Do you like the style? ?”
Xu Shuangxue asked Xiaolian to bring over the set of hairpins. The delicate wooden box was slowly opened. Inside was a set of blue dotted green noodles. The cores of Zhu Chai, Bu Yao and Hairpin flowers were inlaid with beads polished by white Hetian jade. The earrings are made of silver inlaid with jade, and the whole craftsmanship is exquisite. This outfit costs at least several hundred taels of silver.
Yan Shu was a little flattered: "Sister Xu, this gift is too expensive for me to accept. As you know, I usually wear simple and elegant clothes. I'm afraid it would be a waste to use such a gorgeous hair and face on me."
"Who said it was wasted? Your face is so beautiful when you put it there, even in plain clothes. When I saw the drawings drawn by the master craftsman, I felt at first glance that this set of hair and face is very suitable for you, even if it is used on daily basis. It’s so little, I might as well keep it as a dowry in the future, but it’s nothing compared to what you did for me.”
Without giving Yan Shu a chance to refuse, Xu Shuangxue directly ordered Xiaolian to send her head and face to Jiang Mansion's carriage.
Yan Shu was quite helpless. If she didn't accept the face that Sister Xu had carefully prepared, she might have refuted others' intentions, so he didn't say anything more. He thought that he would give her more sets of skin care products in the future.
At this time, the little maid in the courtyard hurried over.
"Girl, Mr. Yan is outside asking to see you."
Yan Shu looked at Xu Shuangxue with a smile: "Sister Xu must have a lot of things to talk to my eldest brother alone, so I'll go out for a walk first."
"Don't make trouble, I won't feel confident if you leave."
Yan Shu raised his eyebrows in a funny way: "Sister Xu, please stop teasing me. You are very good at dealing with my brother, and you are about to get married. Sooner or later, husband and wife must see each other sincerely."
Xu Shuangxue was startled by Yan Shu's bold words, and her fair face instantly became hot, as if she was covered with a thick layer of blush.
"You girl, you dare to say such bold things."
Yan Shu teased: "Where did Sister Xu come up with? I just wanted to say that you will live under the same roof sooner or later. Why are you blushing?"
Xu Shuangxue glared at her shyly, and Yan Shu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll just stop teasing you. My eldest brother is still waiting outside. Go quickly."
Yan Shu took Xu Shuangxue's hand and walked out of the house. Yan Wen was standing in the yard. When he heard the laughter, he immediately raised his head and looked at the two of them.
"Eldest brother and Sister Xu are chatting first, and I'm going to go talk to Young Master Xu and Second Master Xu about something."
After speaking, Yan Shu blinked at Xu Shuangxue and left quickly.
Yan Wen and Xu Shuangxue stood there, both of them a little embarrassed. Looking at each other face to face, they couldn't help but want to laugh.
Xiaolian stepped forward and said, "Girl, Mr. Yan, the sun is very hot today. You two should go sit under the tree over there for a while."
Xu Shuangxue also realized that she couldn't just stand there, so she took the initiative to grab Yan Wen's sleeves and walked towards a wisteria tree in the courtyard.

Inside Fushou Yuan
A maid walked into Mrs. Xu's house holding a beautiful box.
She greeted Mrs. Xu who was sitting on the couch and said: "Old Madam, the eldest son of the Yan family has come to discuss the marriage with the eldest girl. He also brought you some supplements. The eldest son asked his slave to bring them to you."
Mrs. Xu had a look of disdain on her face.
"What good things can the country people bring?"
The old woman who was standing beside her smiled and said, "Maybe they are some specialties brought from their village. Do you want to take a look, old lady?"
When it comes to the Yan family, Mrs. Xu doesn't have a good face.
The enemy who killed the third child was the brother-in-law of the girl from the Yan family. I heard that the relationship between the two of them was unclear. The third child was deceived and offended them, and was brutally killed by Jiang Ci. She has always remembered this hatred. In her heart, the second child and the boy in her later years said that the third child was to blame. Now that she has promised her sister to the master of the Yan family this year, how can she swallow this bad breath?
But now that the third child is gone, the power of the Xu family has fallen into the hands of his old age, and she, the old lady of the Xu family, has to be restrained by him, let alone avenge her son.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu's cloudy eyes were full of hatred.
"Take this gift back. If he likes to associate with the wild man from the countryside, let him. From now on, if that girl Xue'er gets married, she will be thrown out by the Xu family, and I, the grandmother, will have no control over her."
After saying this, Mrs. Xu waved her hand impatiently.
Cuixiang said respectfully: "I heard that the old lady was sending people to find high-quality ginseng for medicine a while ago, but this top-quality ginseng is really rare, not to mention the older ones are even rarer in the market. Young Master said You will definitely need the gift the Yan family gave you today, so please be sure to take a look first."
After saying this, Cuixiang placed the box in her hand on the tea table beside the old lady and opened the box in front of the old lady Xu.
When she saw that there were ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the box, Madam Xu's face showed a look of shock.
She suffered from confinement disease during childbirth, and her body has been very weak since then. She has been nourishing herself with various precious herbs for many years. Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and deer antlers are all medicinal herbs that she has been taking for decades. , this is the first time I have seen it in such good condition.
"Is this really from the eldest son of the Yan family?"
Ordinary people would never have the chance to encounter such good quality ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. How could the Yan family have such good quality ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum?
Cuixiang said: "I heard from the young master that these ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were encountered by the Yan family when they went hunting in the mountains recently. Dalang Yan learned that the old lady has been taking these two herbs all year round, so he sent them to you. Although the Yan family is from the countryside, in the The etiquette aspect is really impeccable.”
I just saw the second master holding two bottles of wine with a smile on his face. Those two bottles of wine must be very expensive, otherwise how could a man like the second master, who has collected countless famous wines, look so glum? ?
Looking at the old lady at this time, her eyes were staring at the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in front of her, and she knew that these two things must be very precious.
Just now, he mocked the Yan family as vulgar country people and made some insinuations about the Yan family and Xu's old age. Now if he accepts these ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?
But if you don't accept it, such top-quality ginseng and Ganoderma will fall into the hands of that guy in his later years.
The old woman standing by and waiting could see what Mrs. Xu was thinking.
"Old madam, since the eldest son of the Yan family is filial, please accept the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. If you don't accept it, the eldest girl will be sad."
Mrs. Xu nodded shamelessly: "You are right, just put this thing down."
"Yes, if nothing happens, I will go back and report to the young master!"
After Cuixiang exited, Mrs. Xu reached out and carefully picked up the ginseng.
"I really can't believe that the top-quality ginseng I have been looking for for so long was actually delivered to me by that country mud-legged guy. I originally wanted to mess up the marriage, but now for the sake of the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, I just let them do whatever they want. Go ahead. Humph, that girl Xue'er is really a ungrateful girl. She won't marry despite the good conditions of the Zhao family, but insists on marrying a mud-legged person to live a miserable life. There will be times when she regrets it in the future."
"What the old lady is saying is, Mr. Zhao is such a good person. If the eldest girl gets married, the Zhao family will take more care of her for your sake, but the eldest girl is not as discerning as the old lady. Choosing such a leaky lamp, hey, this old slave feels sorry for her."
Mrs. Xu stared at the precious herbs in her hand with joyful eyes, not caring about her granddaughter's happiness.
"No one can stop her from going through hardships. If it weren't for that boy in her later years who now has the power, I wouldn't have been unable to decide on this girl's marriage."
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but think of her son who died tragically. If the third son was alive, how could he watch his own mother suffer such injustice?
