It started to rain a few days after Qin An left. It rained for seven or eight days in a row, and it was still a little hot after the rain.
Sun Erdan and the others took a seven-day break and said they were going home to help with the harvest. There were still many people growing vegetables around the county.
With him here, Tuantuan doesn't have to bother Su Yan all the time.
Su Yan took advantage of the season when wild chrysanthemums were in full bloom, so she, Xiaoxiu and Dongzi went to the mountains to pick wild chrysanthemums.
I got tanned after two days in the sun, especially Dongzi, who is already dark, and this will make it even darker.
Su Yan was twirling the dregs in the dustpan in the yard. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Dongzi. Then she thought that they had been wearing straw hats for the past two days, but Dongzi had not worn them.
She said: "Dongzi, you should wear a straw hat next time you go out. If you get too tan, you won't be able to see people at night."
Dongzi scratched his head innocently, "It's so stuffy that I don't even wear it when I work."
"It's hard to tell people when they're dark." After Su Yan finished speaking, she glanced at him and Zhang Xiu. They had shown signs of success recently.
She was also very happy to see Zhang Xiu and Dongzi, who talked and laughed with him normally.
Dongzi didn't dare to think about it, and quickly waved his hand and said: "Madam, I didn't want to tell you that I will work peacefully."
Life in the Qin family was much better than before. He didn't want to be sold out again, so he worked extra hard.
"What do you think it has to do with work?"
Seeing Zhang Xiu looking this way, Su Yan smiled and said, "Xiaoxiu, what do you think of Dongzi?"
"If it's okay, I'll say goodbye to you."
Suddenly Zhang Xiu and Dongzi looked at each other, both of them blushing obviously. Cuilan held her hand and smiled and said: "I think they are quite suitable. They both happen to work at my wife's house."
Dongzi said honestly: "Madam, Xiaoxiu must feel wronged for marrying me."
Seeing that he meant it, Su Yan looked at Zhang Xiu and asked her to tell her if she had any ideas.
Zhang Xiu glanced at Dongzi, her face flushed, and she whispered: "I am not wronged."
As soon as she saw her statement, Su Yan asked Dongzi, "Are you willing?"
The other girls had said it, and Dongzi nodded, "I am willing, but I'm afraid of wronging her. I don't have much money."
Cuilan said: "Don't worry about food and accommodation at Madam's house. If you're really sorry, just help Madam with more work."
She also reminded the two of them that Madam is kind and can make the decision to arrange their marriage, so they should remember Madam's kindness.
Dongzi said quickly: "I will be a member of Dong's family even when I die."
Su Yan wasn't worried about this. It was because she saw these two people working hard that she mentioned this matter, otherwise she wouldn't mind their own business.
"Okay, I'll find a gentleman to figure this out later and see which day is better."
"Let's cook a meal for the day."
Naturally, it is impossible to do anything grand. There are only a few people in the family, and it is impossible to invite the boss in the county because of them.
She doesn't care about this, others will.
Both Dongzi and Zhang Xiu knew that it was a great treat for them that their wife could officiate their wedding.
Dongzi said gratefully: "Thank you, madam."
"You're welcome, just be nice to Xiaoxiu." Su Yan didn't have anything important to do at the moment, so she changed her clothes and got ready to go out.
When I arrived at the door, I met the person who had come to deliver the letter, "Madam, your letter is from the capital, costing one hundred cents."
After hearing it, Su Yan's eyes lit up, "Xiao Xiu, go get a hundred coins quickly."
She took the envelope and opened it hurriedly. When she unfolded the paper, she found a familiar font.
Wife, you have arrived in the capital and are safe.
The courtyard is in the third house on Linwu Lane, so any future letters will be sent here.
Wife, have a good meal at home.
I miss you.
Su Yan's eyebrows brightened and she calmed down the letter, "Uncle, please send the letter. Next time there is a letter from our family, please send it to us first. Then I will give you five more coins."
"Okay, I'll deliver it to your home first next time." The messenger took the money handed over by Zhang Xiu and left with a smile on his face.
Zhang Xiu asked: "Master, has he arrived in the capital?"
"Um."
As soon as Su Yan nodded, Tuantuan ran over, hugged her legs and said, "Master... daddy!"
Probably because someone in the family had called him, he knew that the master was calling him daddy. Su Yan bent down and picked him up, "Daddy is still out making money, and he won't be back until a few days later."
"Sister Cui, do you know where there is an art gallery nearby?"
Cuilan usually walks around with Tuan Tuan, and she is familiar with what is around.
Cuilan said: "In a place where many people usually enjoy the shade, there is a painting studio opened by a scholar."
"Okay, Erdan, come with mom." Su Yan waved to Sun Erdan.
Sun Erdan immediately ran over obediently. Su Yan hugged him with one hand and held him with the other hand, for fear that he would get lost when he went out.
Sun Erdan was afraid that she would be tired, "Mom, please hold your brother, I will hold your sleeve so that you won't get lost." After saying that, he let go of his hand and held her sleeve obediently.
Su Yan stared at him out of the corner of her eye and said, "Tighten up, let mom know where you go."
"Okay." Sun Erdan nodded.
Taking the two children with her, they walked for almost two quarters of an hour. As soon as they arrived at the art gallery, Su Yan put down the ball and shook it twice with sore hands.
Sun Erdan immediately took hold of Tuantuan who wanted to run around, and took out a small piece of Rice Krispie Treats from his pocket, "Brother, be good, don't run around."
When Tuantuan saw the food, he thought, "Eat..."
Sun Erdan handed it to him and gave it a kiss. My brother is so good.
Su Yan glanced at the two children, and then asked the young man who was painting at the counter, "Can I paint people?"
The young man raised his head, put down his brush and said, "Okay, can you draw children?"
"How much money do we have for a family of three?"
Seeing Tuantuan was about to leave, Su Yan quickly held his hand. This child could walk a little more and was in better spirits than anyone else.
"One tael for children, two taels for adults," the young man said.
"Okay, can you draw now?"
"Yes, come with me."
The young man lifted the door curtain and motioned for them to go inside. Su Yan led the two children in. Inside was a courtyard.
There is a lush bamboo forest in the corner, and there is a stone table in the middle with pen and ink on it. It is obvious that I often paint here.
The young man took a stool and placed it under the bamboo forest, "You guys sit here, I think it will take most of an hour. I will draw the children first, and after I finish the drawing, let them play in the yard."
"good."
Su Yan hugged Tuantuan and sat on the stool, then stretched out her hand to pull Sun Erdan to sit next to her.
Tuantuan didn't like to sit, so she moved around to think about it. Su Yan coaxed in a low voice: "Be good, sit down and let uncle draw. After you finish the drawing, show it to daddy. He misses us."
When Tuantuan heard her father, she became obedient and quietly took the rice krispies and ate them.
After more than half an hour, the young man put down his brush and said, "Okay, you can come over and take a look."
Su Yan came over and took a look. The painting was much more similar than she imagined, especially the big black eyes. "It's troublesome."
"No trouble, just wait a moment and you can take Mo Gan back."
"Then I'll come get it later."
Su Yan paid the money and took her children to a nearby husband to calculate the days. The husband calculated the days and it didn't take long. After a while, the days would be good.
The tenth day from the next few days will be auspicious and it will be a good time to get married.
Ten days is enough to prepare things.
I walked around to get the painting and then went back. When I got home, I was very tired and too heavy. "Sister Cui, come and coax him to sleep."
"This child is getting stronger and stronger. He can't even walk a few steps while holding him."
"It's the time when children are growing up, not to mention that the master is tall and strong, so Tuan Tuan will naturally be fine." Cuilan hugged Tuan Tuan and went into the house.
