Chapter 136 Parents’ Order and Matchmaker’s Words

Liu Qin held the teacup but didn't take a sip.

Su Leyun did not disturb Liu Qin's meditation, and drank tea while taking notes.

From time to time, I also made a sketch of the picture of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix.

The materials are all ready and we can start sewing officially tomorrow.

"Aren't you curious about what I've been doing these days?"

Liu Qin looked at Su Leyun painted on the paper and suddenly spoke.

"I'm indeed curious, but I'm not very familiar with you, Miss Liu. If I ask you rashly, I'm afraid I'll make you unhappy."

Su Leyun smiled at Liu Qin.

Perhaps this matter had been accumulating in Liu Qin's heart, the moment he saw Su Leyun's smile.

Liu Qin had some desire to talk.

She took a deep breath and said, "When the Queen Mother's birthday party is over, I will get married."

"Maybe I can't say congratulations?"

Su Leyun looked at Liu Qin's face. When she said this, she couldn't see that Liu Qin was happy at all.

Liu Qin smiled helplessly, "My parents ordered me to be a matchmaker. Even if I don't want to, what can I do? I'm twenty years old now. If I don't get married, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married."

For a woman, not being able to get married is a terrible thing.

But for Su Leyun, who had gone through a painful marriage, there seemed to be nothing wrong with not getting married.

It's better to be alone than to be with someone who doesn't love you.

Su Leyun knew that she had this idea only because of the suffering she had suffered. For Liu Qin, naturally she could not violate her parents' orders.

"I wonder who you want to marry?"

In her impression, Liu Qin seemed to have disappeared after getting married. As for who she married, she had no memory at all.

"You probably don't know that he is the son of the Xu family."

Liu Qin took a sip of tea and returned slowly.

Xu family?

Su Leyun thought about the families in the capital, and there were quite a few with the surname Xu. However, although the Xu family that could get engaged to Liu Qin was not too bad, it was not like those official families.

Although Liu Qin was particularly famous for his embroidery, his background was not a good one. His father was a scholar, and he married a merchant's daughter, and then he settled in the capital.

"Is it the Xu family in the west of the city?"

After thinking for a long time, Su Leyun could only think of this family, with a scholarly background, worthy of Liu Qin.

But Liu Qin shook his head, "No. The Xu family I'm talking about has something to do with the people in the palace."

"Isn't Miss Liu talking about Xu Zhian?"

Lian Xin exclaimed.

Su Leyun looked at her, "You know?"

"Miss, this Xu Zhian..."

Lian Xin glanced at Liu Qin and seemed to think it was not good to say this in front of her, so she closed her mouth again.

Liu Qin forced a smile and said, "Tell your lady about it."

Seeing this, Lian Xin dared to speak, "Miss, I have occasionally heard comments from the servants in the palace that Xu Zhian's godfather is a high eunuch in the palace. Although Xu Zhian's father has a small official position, he has this With the support of my godfather, Xu Zhian’s reputation in the capital is not very good.”

Su Leyun thought about it, but had no impression.

She has never heard of Xu Zhian, or she may have heard of it but didn't care, so she forgot about it.

But after hearing Lian Xin's introduction, Su Leyun frowned, "Bad reputation? He seems to be a person with bad character. Why did your parents let you marry such a person?"

Liu Qin's face showed a hint of despair, "It was Xu Zhian who sent people to my house to propose marriage... My father and mother are just ordinary people, how dare they resist."

"you……"

"Le Yun, Liu Qin, you are here."

Mrs. Lin's voice came from the door of the courtyard. She walked in quickly and pulled the two of them up one by one. "I was looking for you. The things have been delivered."

Su Leyun was interrupted by Mrs. Lin's words. She and Liu Qin looked at each other and followed Mrs. Lin outside.

There is a big shelf in front of the embroidery room.

All are made from the finest wood.

This was later used to hang the picture of birds facing the phoenix.

"Look, what's the problem?"

Mrs. Lin said to the two of them.

Su Leyun and Liu Qin stepped forward to check.

When you get closer, you can smell the aroma of wood, which is obviously a lot of care.

"Mrs. Lin, there is nothing wrong with this shelf."

After Su Leyun completed the inspection, he said to Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin patted her chest and said, "That's good. Be careful and take the things in and put them away."

"yes."

The servants stepped forward to lift the shelf and carefully brought it into the room on one side.

"I see that your silk thread seems to be finished. You may start sewing tomorrow?"

Mrs. Lin walked up to the two people and asked.

Su Leyun glanced at Liu Qin, who nodded and replied: "Mrs. Lin, don't worry, Miss Su and I will start production tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll trouble you." Mrs. Lin sighed, "It's really difficult for you two to make it in two months, but I can only leave it to you."

Facing Mrs. Lin's worried gaze, Su Leyun blinked and said with a smile, "Mrs. Lin must have confidence in us."

"Of course I do."

Mrs. Lin smiled. If she didn't trust Su Leyun and Liu Qin, she wouldn't have let them sew the picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix.

Back at Su Mansion, the sun had already set halfway.

As soon as Su Leyun had dinner, the old lady sent someone to call her.

Arriving at the old lady's yard, Su Leyun glanced around as soon as he entered the house. Although Su Waner was gone, there was still no shortage of people in the old madam's yard.

Lu Xueying was leaning against the old lady and talking, while Lu Xueya was sitting quietly aside.

"grandmother."

Su Leyun shouted, and the old lady seemed to notice her and raised her head to look.

"Girl Yun is here, sit down quickly."

"Thank you grandma."

Su Leyun sat firmly in his position, and Lu Xueya next to him smiled as a greeting.

After the old lady asked Su Leyun to sit down, she started chatting with Lu Xueying. It seemed that she had nothing to say to Su Leyun and just asked her to come and sit in the yard.

"Grandma, sister Wan'er is not here. Xueying will stay in the yard with you these days, right?"

When Lu Xueying mentioned Su Waner, she couldn't hide a hint of pride on her face. Su Waner was clearly not a child of the Su family, but she always dominated her grandmother and made her love her so much!

Now that Su Waner has gone to Longyue Temple, she just takes this opportunity to let her grandmother know that she is the one that her grandmother should love!

The old lady didn't notice Lu Xueying's pride. Thinking of Su Waner who had gone to Longyue Temple, she felt a little pity in her heart.

"Grandma, aren't you willing?"

The old lady didn't answer. Lu Xueying shouted, her tone a little aggrieved, and then the old lady came back to her senses.

"Since Xueying wants to take care of grandma, of course grandma is willing."

The old lady responded with a smile, and the smile on Lu Xueying's face became more and more obvious.

He also glanced at Su Leyun and Lu Xueya, seeming to be showing off.
