The meaning of the Xu family’s reply was very clear, which was: no appointment, we politely declined.
The Xu family said they don’t want to make an appointment, so they don’t. Is Su Fengyi such an easy person to get rid of?
Of course not.
If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to it. No matter whether he is willing or not, or whether he is happy or not, Su Fengyi must see Lord Xu today.
Su Fengyi instructed Dangui:
"Prepare a generous gift. Come, follow me to visit the patient at Xu's residence."
It was almost time for dinner, and at this hour, there was not even a post left. It would be too presumptuous to run over there rashly. If it were any other time, Dangui would not do such a rude thing.
But since the eldest princess said she wanted to go, and she was the most powerful, Dangui did it immediately, regardless of whether it was rude or not.
So Su Fengyi, without even saying hello, took a hundred-year-old ginseng, a bunch of supplements, and took Wutong, Dangui, and a dozen palace soldiers with her, and rode on simple horses and went to Xu's house.
It was just a coincidence that the front of Xu's house was very busy today. When Su Fengyi rode to Xu's house on horseback, Lord Xu and Madam Xu were welcoming guests at the door with smiling faces.
There are only two possible types of guests who would come at this late hour.
One type is uninvited guests like Su Fengyi, and the other type is close friends who have a close relationship with the host family.
When Su Fengyi saw Lord and Madam Xu smiling as they personally went out to greet her, she knew that this guest must be the second type.
Su Fengyi was also curious about who was coming and why the aloof Minister of Revenue, Lord Xu, would personally go out to greet him, so she did not dismount, but just smiled from afar:
"Oh, you're busy? It's quite lively."
Mrs. Xu was originally greeting the guests. When she heard someone talking to her, she smiled and looked up. However, she saw the smiling Princess riding on a horse. She was immediately horrified, as if she had seen a ghost. She kept hitting Mr. Xu with her hands:
"Boss, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Lord Xu also discovered the princess, but as a veteran minister of three dynasties, he had a high psychological quality. He was caught by the princess on the spot. In such an embarrassing situation, Lord Xu did not blush or feel nervous. He naturally held Madam Xu's hand with his backhand and asked with concern:
"Madam, are you feeling sick again? I told you long ago that you should rest well when you are sick, but you refused to listen and insisted on coming out to entertain the guests.
Come! Quick, the lady has fainted again, please send her back home, or ask the doctor to treat her."
Mrs. Xu, who had fainted again in Lord Xu's mouth, opened her big clear eyes at this time, and had not yet reacted. She said dizzily:
"Ah? Ah! Oh oh oh!"
Then Madam Xu closed her eyes and pretended to faint on the spot, falling straight down.
Fortunately, Madam Xu's maids were alert and responded in time, otherwise if Madam Xu had fallen the way she did, her head would have been smashed to pieces.
In the chaos at the gate of Xu's house, the guest who came to visit the Xu family turned around, looked at Su Fengyi, and smiled gently:
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your highness doing well?"
Su Fengyi looked at the smiling face and smiled even more. She got off her horse and walked towards him:
"Of course I'm fine. Very fine, Master Pei. What a coincidence!"
The man in front of the door is none other than the eldest grandson of the head of the Pei family, a noble family in Jiangnan, the newly crowned third place in the imperial examination, and Su Fengyi's fiancé, Pei Yu, Pei Zhaoming.
Just now, Su Fengyi saw the conversation between Lord Xu and Pei Yu. Lord Xu was the Minister of Revenue, a second-rank official in the court, but he was following Pei Yu, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, a seventh-rank official, in a very flattering manner.
Pei family, Xu family, so that's how it is, really interesting.
Su Fengyi walked up to Pei Yu, stood side by side with him, and then smiled and said to Lord Xu:
"I have always been on good terms with your Madam. When I heard that your Madam was ill, I was extremely worried. I couldn't rest assured unless I saw her in person, so I came here uninvited. Please don't blame me, Master Xu."
Although Su Fengyi had never spoken to Madam Xu before, and the idea of being close friends was completely nonsense, Master Xu seemed to be completely unaware of this and replied in a serious tone:
"My wife has received Your Highness's care and I am always grateful for Your Highness's kindness. Your Highness has come to visit us personally. Everyone in the Xu family is very excited. I have a cup of coarse tea inside. If Your Highness doesn't mind, please come in..."
Su Fengyi didn't care whether Lord Xu was being genuinely polite or just pretending to be polite. She walked past Pei Yu and walked in.
"Okay, I'll try it."
Dangui and Wutong were behind and looked at each other, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.
Your Highness actually pushed the Prince Consort aside today!
His Highness actually left without even letting his Prince Consort leave first!
Great!
Your Highness, have you figured it out?
Dangui and Wutong were both servants, so they naturally had no right to interfere in the eldest princess's private affairs.
But in private, both of them actually had some complaints about the Prince Consort of the Pei family, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Prince Consort did not actually take His Highness seriously, and His Highness was usually a little too humble in front of the Prince Consort.
She is obviously a daughter of a royal family, and she usually looks down on everyone. But when she meets her beloved, she becomes timid, worrying that she is not good enough and cannot win his favor.
Now that the princess has thrown Prince Consort Pei aside, Dangui and Wutong are ready to make a move and start doing what they have wanted to do for a long time.
The two of them were in perfect sync, one on the left and one on the right, and they started to take advantage of the power of the other.
Dangui took the opportunity to give the gifts to the servants of the Xu family and pushed the servants of the Pei family aside.
Wutong took the opportunity to push Pei Fu Ma aside. The two of them let out a sigh of relief and followed the eldest princess, walking into the gate of the Xu family in a heroic and proud manner.
A young girl was rushing towards him, so Pei Yu naturally had to avoid her. He took several steps back and almost fell to the steps in front of the door. He would have fallen down.
Lord Xu saw this and hurried over to support him:
"Master Pei, be careful. You have offended the princess's servants. What's going on..."
Lord Xu wanted to say that Lord Pei was the eldest princess's fiancé, and the eldest princess's servants should be respectful to the consort, so why did they seem so rude to him?
Pei Yu was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"It's okay, let's go and see why His Highness came to visit today."
Su Fengyi entered the hall of Xu's house. Soon after, Lord Xu and Pei Yu also came in. The three of them sat down and the servants brought them tea.
Then the three of them started talking about trivial matters. Su Fengyi didn't say why she came, and she didn't leave.
Lord Xu and Pei Yu had some serious business to discuss, but since the eldest princess was around, they naturally couldn't discuss serious business. They could only chat with the eldest princess here to kill time.
This discussion lasted until dinner time, and Lord Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's already dinner time. I don't dare disturb Your Highness from eating. It's better to do it another day..."
Su Fengyi only heard this during dinner time. She ignored the second half of Lord Xu's words and said with a smile:
"Okay, I've heard from your wife that the chef in Lord Xu's house is an excellent cook. Since Lord Xu has invited me so kindly, I will do my best to try it today..."
Lord Xu, who was about to stand up to see His Highness off, could hardly maintain his usual decency and composure after hearing these words, and his face turned almost green.
