Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife
Chapter 72 Xiao Yan and Lin Shu formally meet
The next day, Xian Wang's family of three left the capital early in the morning. They had seven or eight days to go from the capital to the Royal Courtyard. The snacks Lin Shu made were just enough for Shi Ying and Long Yuqi to eat slowly on the way.
"Sir, Mouse has called back and said that King Xian's family has left the capital."
Xiao Yan put down the book in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose and said:
"I am going out with my father-in-law, who is going to see an 'old friend'."
Although Wang Xiaowu didn't know who the old friend Xiao Yan was talking about, he still prepared the carriage honestly.
After a while, Xiao Yan's carriage appeared on Lin Shu's daily route to Xuyang Pavilion.
The mouse had been monitoring Lin Shu for more than a month and had already calculated when Lin Shu would pass by this street every day.
Lin Shu asked Chen Laoer and Xi'er to go to the grain store to buy raw materials for making snacks and porridge. She herself walked two streets with Lin's mother every day and had a bowl at a wonton stall on the first street. Wontons for breakfast.
Lin Shu often comes to this wonton stall to eat wontons, and the owner of the wonton stall already knows her.
"Mrs. Su, please use your wontons with caution." The owner of the wonton stall placed the wontons of Lin Shu and Mother Lin in front of them.
Mother Lin wiped the chopsticks with a handkerchief and handed them to Lin Shu.
"Come on, miss, let's eat slowly today. Sister-in-law Chen and the others have probably cooked the porridge, so we can just go and help put it out."
Lin Shu took the chopsticks with a happy smile on her face.
"My aunt said that the shopkeeper will be here today. We can wait and see for a few more days before letting go and let Mrs. Chen and the others be busy in the store. We will recruit a few more waiters in the next few days. In the future, we only need to develop new ones at home. There is no need to go to the store every day for snacks and porridge.”
Mother Lin also said happily:
"Yes! Miss, you and your uncle have been busy for more than half a year. Xuyang Pavilion is finally on the right track. Our uncle has won the favor of the emperor and is temporarily in charge of the entire Dali Temple. Things will only get better and better in the future. .”
Lin Shu has been watched by Mother Lin since she was a child. Although the two are master and servant, their relationship is better than that of mother and daughter. Mother Lin also treats Lin Shu as her own daughter and is happy for Lin Shu from the bottom of her heart.
God is indeed fair. Lin Shu lost her biological parents when she was young, but now she has met such a good husband and her business is getting better and better.
"Boss, have a bowl of wontons." Wang Xiaowu shouted to the boss who was busy on the stove at the wonton stall.
"'Mrs. Su', what a coincidence! Would you mind sharing a table with you?" Xiao Yan looked at Lin Shu with a smile.
On the day of the Su Mansion's banquet, Lin Shu and Lin's mother had both seen Xiao Yan, and they quickly stood up and prepared to salute.
Xiao Yan used a fan to hold Lin Shu down.
"'Mrs. Su' there are many people here, so there is no need to be polite."
Even though a long time had passed since the events of her previous life, Lin Shu still felt a little uneasy after seeing Xiao Yan. Especially when she recalled what she had experienced in her previous life, she was particularly afraid that her current life would turn into nothing.
However, Lin Shu quickly controlled her mood, and kept hinting to herself in her heart, hinting that she and Xiao Yan were just strangers who had met once, hinting that she just met Xiao Yan by chance today.
"Xiao Guogong, why are you here?" Since Xiao Yan said there was no need to be polite, Lin Shu sat down and asked Xiao Yan curiously, treating Xiao Yan as someone she had only met once and could barely be considered acquaintances.
Xiao Yan opened the folding fan and began to answer Lin Shu.
"I stayed at home for two days and wanted to get some fresh air. I didn't expect to see 'Mrs. Su' on the street."
Lin Shu heard from Su Yi that something happened in Xiao Yan's family recently. His wife Wang Jingxuan died in childbirth. His wife's eldest brother was the murderer of Xu Jingshu. In addition, his mother was so angry that she fell on the bed. After a series of blows, Xiao Yan also The emperor asked for leave to rest at home, and the affairs of Dali Temple were left to Su Yi for the time being.
Coupled with Xiao Yan's explanation just now, Lin Shu thought it was just an ordinary encounter.
Seeing Xiao Yan sitting next to Lin Shu, Lin's mother stood up automatically. With her status, she was not qualified to sit on an equal footing with Xiao Yan.
"Miss, I'll go to the store to help first. You can come over slowly after eating." Seeing that this place is close to the store, Mother Lin planned to go there first.
"Mama Lin, wait a minute, I'll go with you."
Lin Shu called out to Mother Lin. Although she kept hinting to herself that the events of the previous life had passed and the Xiao Yan in front of her now had nothing to do with her, Lin Shu still did not dare to stay alone with Xiao Yan. She could always feel that I felt an invisible sense of oppression coming from Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Guogong, we have finished eating and are about to leave. Please take your time."
After Lin Shu finished speaking, she stood up, put her and Mother Lin's wonton money on the table, and planned to walk into the store with Mother Lin.
Xiao Yan nodded, closed the folding fan, and flicked his sleeves to reveal the purse hanging on his waist. He placed the folding fan on the table, took out the purse around his waist, and took out a couple of pieces of silver and placed it on the table.
"Forget it, I thought I could chat with someone I met. I was going to have lunch at the restaurant around the corner. Since 'Mrs. Su' is leaving, I won't stay much longer. 'See you later'!"
When Xiao Yan said this, he did not forget to point to the restaurant where he met Mouse in private. It was also the restaurant where he saw Lin Shu and Su Yi flirting at the wonton stall a month ago. He wanted to remind Lin Shu that he would be waiting for her at the restaurant later, and he believed that Lin Shu would definitely go.
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Lin Shu was left stunned.
Xiao Yan had already disappeared into the restaurant around the corner, and Lin Shu was still staring at the direction in which Xiao Yan disappeared.
"Miss, Mr. Xiao Guo has already entered the restaurant, it's time for us to leave." Mother Lin reminded her carefully, bringing Lin Shu back from her thoughts.
"Sir, Mrs. Su is still looking at us."
Xiao Yan fanned himself with a folding fan and said meaningfully with his eyes:
"Don't look back. Tell the waiter and the shopkeeper. If someone comes to see my father in a while, just bring him up."
So Xiao Yan still ordered a few dishes to go with wine in the previous private room, and sat by the window. All of a sudden, he had a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the street. However, what he focused on was the direction in which Lin Shu would appear. Every time he drank a drink, he would Glancing in that direction, I expected Lin Shu to appear soon.
"Sir, Mrs. Su has left, will she come again?" Wang Xiaowu asked Xiao Yan doubtfully when he saw Lin Shu and Mother Lin disappearing on the street together.
Xiao Yan took out the purse from his waist and said with great confidence:
"She will definitely take the initiative to find her father-in-law. Don't worry, let's wait slowly."
After a while, the mouse appeared first in the restaurant.
"Sir, I bought the three snacks you asked for as soon as Xuyang Pavilion opened."
"Well, from today on, you no longer need to supervise Lin Shu. Go back and rest for a few days. I will ask Wang Xiaowu to find you later if my father-in-law has something to do."
Mouse left the restaurant, and Xiao Yan continued to look out the window.
"Sir, Mouse has called back and said that King Xian's family has left the capital."
Xiao Yan put down the book in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose and said:
"I am going out with my father-in-law, who is going to see an 'old friend'."
