Chapter 125 Invitation
Chapter 125 Invitation
Because Si Jinchen was so busy, Yan Qingwan didn't see him for a whole month.
The weather gradually became cooler and the branches and leaves on the trees began to turn yellow.
In the room, Yan Qingwan washed his hands and was about to have lunch.
Soon, a maid came in.
She bowed and said, "Madam, Madam Su has sent you an invitation to attend the Qiuye Reading Club in the suburbs the day after tomorrow."
The Su family is one of the richest families in Jiangning. Their businesses are spread across all walks of life in Jiangning, and it can even be said that they control the economic lifeline of the entire Jiangning.
Madam Su is the mistress of the Su family. The reading club she organizes has attracted much attention and is also a major event in Jiangning City.
This news did not surprise Yan Qingwan too much.
She smiled calmly and nodded, "I understand. You can go down."
Shi Yu, who was serving on the side, took the invitation from the other person and watched the person leave.
Then he turned back and said to Yan Qingwan with a smile: "Madam, it seems that our efforts in recent times have not been in vain."
Yan Qingwan nodded, his lips slightly raised, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
She walked slowly to the dining table and sat down, saying leisurely: "Of course, I think it's also because of the master. The day after tomorrow you will go to the reading club with me and the master." Shi Yu agreed with a smile.
In fact, after arriving in Jiangning, Yan Qingwan rested for two days and then began to go out of the house every day with a group of maids and servants.
She first went to the most famous embroidery shops, jewelry stores and restaurants on the street, carefully selected a variety of expensive dresses and jewelry, and tasted the local specialties.
Later, she even spent a large sum of money to hire a chef with superb cooking skills.
Well, actually that person was the chef in the restaurant under her name, and she made such a big fuss on purpose.
These series of actions immediately attracted the attention of many people in Jiangning City, and people began to speculate about who these Mr. and Mrs. Shi who came from the capital were.
The next morning, the sky was slightly bright.
Yan Qingwan slowly opened her eyes and discovered to her surprise that she was still being tightly embraced by Si Jinchen.
She twisted her body slightly and her eyes fell on the face of Si Jinchen who was sleeping beside her.
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched his chin, feeling the tingling sensation brought by the new stubble.
After a brief contact, Yan Qingwan tried to withdraw his hand, but was suddenly grabbed by Si Jinchen.
Si Jinchen opened his eyes, with a hint of sleepiness and laziness, and turned his head slightly to stare at her.
Then he gently kissed her forehead and said in a deep voice: "Awake?"
Yan Qingwan responded softly, and said in a tender voice: "Master, you have worked hard during this period."
Si Jinchen smiled slightly, with a teasing tone: "Madam, you have worked hard too. You have become famous in Jiangning Mansion recently!"
After hearing this, Yan Qingwan couldn't help but pout, and said with a slightly complaining tone: "I am not even one tenth as good as you, but I heard that Madam Su's daughter, Su Yihui, loves you very much, and has been making a fuss at home recently about wanting to marry you as your equal wife."
Hearing this, Si Jinchen couldn't help but curl his lips and whispered, "Madam, are you jealous? But I really don't know that Miss Su, let alone that she wants to marry me."
Yan Qingwan snorted, "Master, you don't think it's just Miss Su, let alone the other ladies in the merchant's house.
I heard that even the daughter of the prefect and the daughter of the provincial governor have a good impression of the master.
However, due to the fact that the master is a merchant, he has not taken any action yet."
Si Jinchen lowered his head to Yan Qingwan's, his nose touching hers, and chuckled, "Madam is really jealous. She actually remembers it so clearly."
Yan Qingwan glared at him coquettishly, "I am not jealous at all, I just think that the master is too charming, and I am worried that more women will come to compete with me for the master in the future.
After all, she is fifteen or sixteen years old, the age of a flower, while I am getting older and will become old and ugly sooner or later."
Hearing this, Si Jinchen whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, Madam. Your heart has always belonged to you alone. No matter how good other women are, they can't compare to you one ten-thousandth of you."
After saying that, he took Yan Qingwan's hand, placed it on his chest, and continued: "Don't you understand how your husband treats you, Ah Wan?"
After hearing this, Yan Qingwan felt sweet in her heart. She threw herself into Si Jinchen's arms with a pout on her face, and murmured in a tender voice: "Don't forget what the master said. After all, a gentleman's words are as good as his words."
Si Jinchen felt the softness in his arms and glanced at the sky outside the window.
Then he retracted his gaze and pressed Yan Qingwan down, whispering in a hoarse voice: "It's still early, Ah Wan, I will tell you how I feel about you now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped back slightly, lowered his head and kissed Yan Qingwan directly on the lips.
Yan Qingwan didn't expect things to develop to this stage.
Feeling the warm touch on her lips, she whimpered twice and wanted to say that she should get up and put on her makeup...
In the end, she couldn't help but gradually immersed herself in Si Jinchen's attack.
Outside the window, the sky in the east was beginning to pale, and the morning light shone through the clouds, revealing a hint of warm light.
A rising sun slowly rises from the distant horizon. Its dazzling warm red light is like a golden veil, pouring down and illuminating the entire earth.
From the branches in the yard, there were bursts of bird song, melodiously singing, as if welcoming the arrival of a new day.
Occasionally a breeze blows gently, bringing fresh air and a faint scent of flowers, making people feel extremely comfortable and cozy.
······
When Yan Qingwan climbed out of bed, it was already mid-morning.
The sun was already high in the sky, and the sunlight shone through the window into the room, illuminating every corner.
Yan Qingwan rubbed his sore waist, then slowly sat up.
Si Jinchen, who had already gotten out of bed and was getting dressed, glanced at her and said softly, "How about Madam resting for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan shook his head and then shouted outside, but he opened his mouth and no sound came out.
I guess it’s because I screamed so loudly in bed just now, and my voice is a little hoarse now.
Si Jinchen saw all of this and immediately shouted outside, "Someone come."
Then, the door was pushed open, and Shi Yu and Xiao Man, who had been waiting outside, walked in together.
Si Jinchen said to Xiaoman: "Go to the kitchen and ask the cook to make some bird's nest porridge..."
Thinking that the present residence is not as good as it was in the capital, he changed his words temporarily and said, "Make a bowl of small hanging pear soup and send it over."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoman nodded in agreement and then turned and left.
