unprepared

"Aren't you afraid of being caught!" Su Huai asked.

"No." Yan Chen said, "I won't go back to the General's Mansion tonight."

"Why?" Su Huai's hand rested on his waist, "You're quite a courageous dog, if you were to be bumped into by Da Furen again, you would definitely be able to hide it from the old man."

"I'm afraid you're thinking wildly." Yan Chen hugged his arm tightly, as if he wanted to crush him, "I'm afraid that once I leave, when you come to your senses, you will compromise with the eldest lady."

"..." Su Huai knew that the words he said without thinking in front of the eldest lady today undoubtedly gave Yan Chen great encouragement, but that was not his intention.

"Are you worried about me today?" Yan Chen moved down and faced the person in his arms. Although he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, he knew that he hadn't closed his eyes.

Su Huai clicked his tongue: "It can't be said that I am worried. If they treat you as their son, you are not their son after all. When encountering such a thing, if you know that you provoked me first, you will inevitably feel resentful towards you. Besides, in their eyes, I am the absurd character, if I start this kind of thing, even if they can't accept it, they won't be too shocked."

Yan Chen couldn't speak, and only kissed him very gently and carefully on the side of his mouth.

"Okay, don't mess with me." Su Huai pushed him twice.

"Do you still want to do it?" Yan Chen asked on his lips, his voice was low and sexy, which made Mr. Su's heart flutter.

But the timing doesn't seem right now.

"I'm not in the mood, owe it first!" Su Huai turned over and closed his eyes, and said before going to sleep, "Don't oversleep, it's best to get out before dawn."

When Su Huai woke up the next day, the seat next to him was already empty, and there was not much movement until now. It seems that when Yan Chen left, he did not attract the attention of the people in the house.

Thinking of the absurd things last night, he felt like a dream.

He didn't want to face the eldest lady, he didn't want to face the old man, even though he trusted the eldest lady, she said that she would keep it secret for the time being, so she would definitely not break her promise.

"Young Master, Young Master Yan, are you up yet?" Jian Zhu called out from the door.

No one in the manor knew that General Yuan'an, who said yesterday that he would stay overnight, had already left.

"What are you doing?" Su Huai called out impatiently.

"My lord, if you don't get up anymore, you'll have lunch right away." Jian Zhu said.

"No appetite." Su Huai covered his head with the quilt, let him sleep to death on this bed!

After sleeping and waking up, it wasn't until noon when the Da Furen came to call for someone in person that Su Huai dawdled and got up from the bed.

"In a few days, Master Yang's 60th birthday banquet, I will go with your father, so you can too!" said the eldest lady.

Su Huai's first reaction was to refuse, and then he thought that Mrs. Yang seemed to have three granddaughters, and none of them had left the cabinet yet, so she instantly understood what Mrs. Yang meant.

"Okay." He said, he knew that even if he refused, the eldest lady would try her best to make him agree.

Her purpose is too simple, I don't need to tell you about your momentary confusion, but you must follow my request and walk on the so-called "right path".

A blind date is the first step for a lady.

"Clean up, let's eat!" The lady was very satisfied with his answer, thinking that he hadn't eaten in the morning, and when he left, she couldn't help but mutter a few words about why not eating on time would be bad for your health.

Yan Chen is considered a rookie in the capital, Master Yang naturally wants to use this opportunity to gain such a relationship, if General Yan can become the grandson-in-law of the Yang family, that would be great.

The invitation card for Mr. Yang's birthday party had already been delivered to the General's Mansion, but Yan Chen had no intention of going there.

Su Huai had taken sick leave since that night, Yan Chen wasn't too worried, the illness was probably just a cover, he knew that Su Huai needed time to re-determine their relationship.

Song Tang came back from outside and went straight to his study: "General, just now I saw that your little lover followed Su Xiang and Mrs. Su to the Yang Mansion."

Yan Chen was writing a letter to Yan Zhizhou. Hearing this, he glanced at him and was quite satisfied with the title of "little lover": "It's normal for Mr. Yang to have a birthday party today."

"Oh..." Song Tang felt that he was meddling, touched his nose and said, "I heard that the three ladies of the Yang family are all very beautiful."

Yan Chen paused, Su Huai didn't like the complicated relationship in the officialdom, and he didn't bother to deal with these things.He has been asking for sick leave, but now he took the initiative to go to the Yang Mansion to celebrate his birthday...

Look at the time, it's still early in the afternoon.

"Prepare the car and go to Yang's Mansion." Yan Chen stood up.

It wasn't until General Yan got into the carriage that Song Tang chased him out with a square box wrapped in red cloth: "Are you going to celebrate someone's birthday with your empty hands?"

Only then did Yan Chen realize that he was being careless, thanked him, and went straight to the Yang residence.

At the end of the new year, the snow in Shuojing was extremely frequent this year, and the ground was covered with thin ice, so the carriage did not dare to run too fast.

The weather was too cold, and soon there were small snowflakes floating in the sky. There were few pedestrians on the street, so as long as someone was walking on the road, they could easily attract attention.

Yan Chen was probably anxious, so he stretched out his hand to open the curtains, and the cold air rushed to his face, making him feel much more comfortable.

Just as he was about to let go, a man and a woman walking across caught his attention.

The man's face was a little strange, and although the woman was wearing a thick white cloak to cover half of her face, he still recognized her - Fu Yutong.

"Stop." Yan Chen said.

The driver is Cui Min, a boy who is about the same age as Jian Zhu.

Hearing this, Cui Min pulled the reins and stopped the carriage: "What orders does the general have?"

Yan Chen got out of the car grabbing the gift prepared by Song Tang, and the man and woman had already passed to the other side of the street.

"I'm going to Yang's mansion by myself, you help me with something." Yan Chen pointed at Fu Yutong's back, "Help me keep an eye on those two people, don't be found out, it's best to find out who that man is, with this What is the relationship between women."

Cui Min replied: "Yes."

Yan Chen looked at the back of the one tall and one short again, and then braved the wind and snow and headed towards Yang's residence.

The appearance of Fu Yutong and this strange man made Yan Chen feel uneasy.

He has never been an optimistic person, he will always think of the worst in everything, and he only hopes that he is overthinking.

The Yang Mansion is very lively today. Master Yang is very happy with the arrival of Yan Chen. They all say that this General Yan is a ignorant of the world. , Turning around to do military support Luo Yueguan.

It was a bit unexpected that he could come to the Yang Mansion to celebrate his birthday this time.

Compared with General Yuan'an's Mansion, Yang's Mansion is much grander, the yard is very big, but today's weather is bad and it's snowing, naturally the banquet can't be placed in the yard, it can only be moved into the hall.

It's a pity that the space in the hall is limited, and in the end we had to prepare the inner hall for the female relatives, and many men were also arranged.

The people of Dashun are relatively open, and the rule of different tables for men and women was not cared about many years ago. Although men and their wives still sit separately in most formal occasions, but now the situation is special, and everyone has no opinion.

Naturally, Lord Yang would not let this opportunity go, and arranged the young man to the inner hall. Yan Chen saw Mrs. Su pulling Su Huai to sit down at one of the tables, hesitated for a moment, declined the invitation of several young officials around him, and strode forward. Walked over and sat down on the other side of the eldest lady.

Madam Su turned her head to look, but she didn't expect it to be Yan Chen.

She thought that even if Yan Chen came, she wouldn't sit at the same table with them to avoid suspicion!

Su Huai didn't notice Yan Chen's arrival, and he was talking with a girl next to him in a low voice with a smile on his face.

This is the second young lady of the Yang family. As soon as he sat down, the eldest lady warmly introduced the three daughters of the Yang family to him. As for their names... Well, he really didn't remember.

But the girl took the initiative to talk to him, no matter what he did, he couldn't ignore her.

Yan Chen nodded towards the eldest lady, and then looked at Su Huai through the eldest lady.

The person being looked at didn't realize it until the girl in front of her noticed Yan Chen, two red clouds suddenly flew up on her face, she lowered her face and asked in a low voice, "Is that the legendary General Yan?"

Only then did Su Huai turn his head to look, and met Yan Chen's deep eyes.

Yan Chen's brows furrowed imperceptibly. Of course Su Huai could see his displeasure, but seeing the lady's warning gaze, he could only pretend to know nothing and greet him: "I didn't expect you to Here we come!"

"En." Yan Chen responded. He originally wanted to say, I came only when I knew you were here, but this occasion is not suitable for him to be so unrestrained.

The eldest lady noticed that Miss Yang's eyes had been lingering on Yan Chen, so she had an idea, and very eagerly introduced the three young ladies of the Yang family to Yan Chen.

It would be great if the two crooked-neck trees could be repaired at once.

It's just that the eldest lady didn't know, and Yan Chen didn't remember what the names of the three daughters were, because they sounded very similar to him.

Probably because there was Madam Su in the middle, neither Su Huai nor Yan Chen could say a word after a meal.

The difference between men and women in eating is probably that women eat very seriously, they just eat, but men are different. Their so-called eating is actually drinking, gossiping and bragging.

Most of the men in the inner hall are young people, and there are more women, so it is impossible to drink alcohol, so when the people in the hall are still drinking, it is almost the end here.

Mrs. Su was very dissatisfied with the performance of the two boys. When she talked about eating, she knew how to eat hard, like a starving ghost.

When the girls talk to them, they are honest, "Well, yes, ah" answer, and they don't want to say one more word.

How to go on like this.

"The snow has stopped outside..." said the eldest lady.

Su Huai raised his head from the bowl blankly: "Ah, then let's go back!"

"..." The lady was annoyed.

Mrs. Yang's young lady smiled and asked to stay: "The plum blossoms in the backyard are blooming just right, why don't my three girls take everyone to enjoy them?"

Yan Shen looked at his nose and mouth, cared about his mouth, pretended not to hear, and continued to eat.

The intentions of the two ladies are too obvious.

"That's exactly what I mean." Mrs. Su replied with a smile, then looked at the two boys on the left and right who were still feeding, "You two haven't finished eating yet?"

The two people who were named had a meal, and then silently put down their chopsticks.
