Lian Yi left the Shu Mansion, first went back to the inn, took her own things and checked out the room before going back to the Ruan Mansion.

I don't know if Shu Qingwan's appearance last night let An Lian know that Lian Yi would be back today, so she kept wandering near the gate. A person who comes up.

She looked at Lian Yi with a gentle and shy smile, and called softly, "Msang Gong, you are back".

Maybe it's because getting along with Shu Qingwan is too sweet recently, Lian Yi will look at An Lian who looks a little like Shu Qingwan, and she feels warm in her heart, without any sense of rejection.

She also smiled at An Lian, patted An Lian's arm, took her hand intimately, and acted for the servants as she walked: "Thank you for your hard work while I'm away."

An Lian's face blushed slightly, and she said shyly, "Lian'er is not working hard, these are what Lian'er should do."

At first I heard that An Lian called herself "Lian'er", Lian Yi was still a little uncomfortable, but thinking that women in ancient times were used to calling themselves this way, and An Lian did indeed have the word "Lian" in her name, so she didn't say anything, comforting herself to get used to it. Just some.

She exchanged some polite words with An Lian, then led An Lian into the front hall pretending to be affectionate, and when she stepped through the threshold of the front hall, she let go of An Lian's hand naturally, and walked to the seat next to her .

An Lian's hand froze for a moment, then she retracted it naturally and put it in front of her body, then walked slowly to the chair next to Lianyi and sat down.

After waiting for the servants around to serve tea, and to inform, Lian Yi sincerely said "thank you" to An Lian, and then added: "How are you at home during this time? Someone is making things difficult for you. "

An Lian smiled and shook her head: "No, everyone treats Lian Er very well."

Lian Yi nodded: "That's good, if someone makes things difficult for you and I'm not here, you can tell my mother, she will definitely help you out."

An Lian pursed her lips and answered "Mmm", then muttered for a while, and said softly: "Sir, during the time you were away, but with..."

"My Lin'er, you are finally back!"

Before An Lian finished speaking, Zhou's voice covered it. Zhou's holding the hand of the maid was both anxious and pleasantly surprised: "Is my son going out this time all right? Let Wei Niang take a look."

When Lian Yi saw Mrs. Zhou, whom she hadn't seen for several days, she immediately felt a little missing. She happily ignored An Lian's unfinished sentence, stood up to greet her, and held Mrs. Zhou's hand: "Mother, I I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm in good health, don't worry."

After Lian Yi finished speaking, he saw Shudie and Shucheng following Zhou, reached out and touched the top of Shudie, then patted Shucheng's arm, and joked: "You two seem to have grown taller, haha .”

Shucheng didn't answer, but bowed respectfully towards Lianyi. Although he didn't have much expression, it could be seen that he was happy.

But Shudie pouted: "Master, you've only been out for seven days, not seven years. If the servant can grow taller in seven days, the servant is probably as tall as our Baifeng Pavilion now."

"Haha." Lian Yi said with a smile, "I'm not joking, is everything safe at home recently?"

Zhou patted the back of Lianyi's hand, and said kindly: "Okay, everything is fine."

Zhou Shi still wanted to say something, but when she saw An Lian behind Lian Yi, she suppressed her smile, and said with a somewhat alienated gentleness: "An Lian is here too."

An Lian walked to the side of Lianyi, and bowed thoughtfully: "Mother."

Mrs. Zhou glanced at the servants around her, and pretended to Lian Yi, "An Lian misses you very much. It's hard for her to come here every day to ask if there is any news about you. You just got married, and your father sent You go out to check the accounts."

"You're back, you have to accompany An Lian well."

Although Zhou's words were intended to be heard by the surrounding servants, they were actually reminding Lian Yi to play a full role in the loving scene later, so as not to let others see that they did not look like newlyweds.

Lian Yi naturally agreed, and then helped Mrs. Zhou to sit down and exchange greetings.

After a lively lunch, if Lian Yi went out along the shop in front of Zhou's, he drove away all the servants, and then dragged An Lian back to the west courtyard.

Besides acting, she did have other things to ask An Lian to help.

Yes, Lian Yi was going to ask An Lian, the newlywed wife, to hold some kind of banquet, and then took advantage of the opportunity to invite Pei Qingsong and Liang Sansan to attend, and then secretly tried to match the two.

It just so happened that she had been married to An Lian for a while, and according to the unwritten rules among the children of the family, she should also invite these children of the family to have fun, and then introduce her new wife to these people.

The planning of this banquet was a decision that Lian Yi discussed with Shu Qingwan when he was in Shu Qingwan's room in the morning.

Using this name, on the one hand, An Lian's identity can be used to consolidate Lianyi's "Ruan Linyi" image in the minds of the children of the aristocratic family, and on the other hand, it can have the opportunity to match Pei Qingsong and Liang Sansan, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, using the pretense of introducing An Lian will not let anyone other than Pei Qingsong know that she is matching Pei Qingsong and Liang Sansan. If the match fails, this secret will not be spread everywhere.

Of course, Lian Yi didn't tell An Lian the real purpose of holding the banquet, but just perfunctorily said that this is the custom among aristocratic families.

Ever since Shu Qingwan reminded Lian Yi of the danger of An Lian's "hidden danger", Lian Yi began to be more careful in everything, resolutely avoiding An Lian if she could not disclose things.

Even before discussing the banquet with An Lian, Lian Yi had seen Shudie and Shucheng alone, learned about An Lian's situation with them recently, and made sure that An Lian's state had been on a normal track before negotiating with her about the banquet thing.

An Lian obediently did not refuse, and looked a little happy.

Lian Yi quickly discussed with her a project of appreciating lotus and cooking tea, and then asked her to consolidate the background of "cousin" in the next few days, so as not to be exposed by the children of the aristocratic family when they asked about it.

Lianyi at the other end ordered Book City to find someone to make invitations, and then sent the servants to deliver them door-to-door. After that, he contacted the local flower farmers and ordered dozens of pots of fresh lotus flowers at a high price, and asked them to deliver them in two days. For the flower viewing banquet three days later.

After finishing making arrangements for the banquet, Lianyi quickly contacted various business matters that had fallen during this period. After a while, Grandpa Ruan, who went out to check the accounts two days ago, came back in a hurry.

As soon as the two met, they buried themselves in the study discussing Zhong Qiqi's birthday banquet, as well as the list of tributes they received.

This stocking list really caught the Ruan family by surprise again.

Somehow during this time, the nobles in the imperial city began to wear exquisite and fancy brocade, but now that summer has just entered, making brocade itself is already very difficult, not to mention weaving brocade into thin summer clothes.

But the problem is that Yunjin can only be woven with a jacquard wood machine from memory. Each time, two highly skilled weavers need to cooperate with each other. If there are no mistakes, it can take half a month to weave a small piece at the fastest.

So they couldn't make it in time to complete ten horses with great difficulty in half a month's turn-in time.

Not only that, but the materials and weavers of brocade are also big problems.

The last time they provided samples of brocade was a few years ago when Ruan Linyi was still alive.

Because it was not very popular after it was supplied at that time, the Ruan family has never supplied Yunjin in the past few years, let alone workers and materials.

Last week, several years later, the imperial city suddenly reincarnated the brocade fashion trend, which caught the cloth merchants in the entire Fuyan City by surprise.

There is a high probability that some empress suddenly found out a new old brocade dress, and then won the favor inexplicably, and finally caused a trend in the entire imperial city.

It was just a momentary pleasure for them, but it once again made the Ruan family who supplied the cloth miserable.

After Lian Yi discussed with Grandpa Ruan, Grandpa Ruan came forward to order brocade materials and find workers, while Lian Yi went to Pei's house, and sent a letter of apology to the procurement supervisor in the imperial city through Pei Yanfeng, asking him to help intercede with the nobles above. , to delay the submission time.

When Lian Yi went, he ran into Shu Qingwan who also came to deliver the letter of apology.

The two looked at each other from a distance. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes carefully contained a thousand words.

After Lian Yi came back, he and Grandpa Ruan went separately to visit the manufacturers and cloth houses they had cooperated with, hoping to find more skilled brocade weavers, so as to weave the handed-in quantity faster.

When the two were so busy that they were finally able to rest, on the way back to Ruan's house, the moon in the sky was already bright and bright, showing that the night had grown deeper and the time was about to enter the night.

Lian Yi had already dragged An Lian into the West Courtyard for a love performance in the afternoon, and when he went out in the evening, he told An Lian to go to bed earlier in the evening so that he didn't have to wait for her to come back and continue acting.

When she returned to the room in the west courtyard alone, rubbing her stiff and sore shoulders, she saw Shu Qingwan without much surprise.

Shu Qingwan was probably a little tired from the busy work. She was still wearing the simple women's outfit she saw at Pei Yanfeng's house this afternoon, and her eyes were a little tired, which showed that she was probably busy too.

When Lian Yi opened the door and came in, she was leaning sideways on the edge of the table, resting her elbows on the tabletop, and resting her head with her eyes closed. When she saw Lian Yi coming in, her expression was relaxed, and she closed her hands and stood up.

After closing the door, Lian Yi turned around and said as he walked, "Why are you still here? Didn't we agree to see you in three days?"

Shu Qingwan looked at Lianyi with a bit of shyness, as if she was afraid that Lianyi would blame her: "I couldn't bear it when I saw you this afternoon. I just wanted to see you, there is no other meaning."

"Fool." Lian Yi smiled, "I'll see you really? Don't you want to reach out and touch it?"

"Think." Shu Qingwan replied, still standing stupidly, but the tips of her ears were slightly red.

Seeing Shu Qingwan's stupid look when he said "yes", Lian Yi's heart throbbed for a while. She took Shu Qingwan's hand, and then pressed it against her face with her own and touched it. Mo: "You came to see me today so tired, aren't you afraid of being caught by those thugs in my yard?"

"I'm not afraid." Shu Qingwan became serious, "I've observed the rules of their patrols, and I won't be encountered by them."

"Stupid." Lian Yi couldn't help laughing, then spread his hands, throwing himself at Shu Qingwan.

She sniffed the magnolia fragrance on Shu Qingwan's body, and acted lazily: "Wanwan, I'm so tired today, I haven't been so tired for a long time, my body can't bear it."

Shu Qingwan tightened her soft and warm body in her arms, and said with some self-reproach: "I didn't know that today would be so busy, if I knew it would be like this, I shouldn't have tormented you so much last night."

Smelling the smell of Shu Qingwan's body, Lian Yi felt very warm in her heart, and her voice was muffled and a little shy: "It's okay, I drank your porridge in the morning and already made up for it, but I'm too busy in the afternoon, A little exhausted."

Shu Qingwan patted Lianyi's back in distress, and said softly: "I saw that you looked very tired this afternoon, is there something wrong with the tribute?"

Lian Yi hugged Shu Qingwan's neck, and buried her whole body in Shu Qingwan's arms, rubbing against her: "Yeah, I don't know which wicked person suddenly wanted to wear brocade, and he didn't even give a hint before, which is what I call you. Where are you going to get it all of a sudden?"

Now the status of the two of them is embarrassing, Shu Qingwan can't help at all, and she can't help in a short time, she said guiltily: "Lian'er, I will never make you so tired again in the future."

Even though Lian Yi didn't know when Shu Qingwan was talking about the future, and didn't know if this future would have a chance to come, but when she heard Shu Qingwan's promise to her so emotionally, she was happy to forget her tiredness.

She raised her head, kissed Shu Qingwan deeply, and said in a light voice, "Wanwan is so nice, I like Wanwan the most."

The tips of Shu Qingwan's ears were burned again. She brushed a strand of Lianyi's fallen hair behind her ears, smiled slightly, reached out and touched Lianyi's arm that was blocking her yesterday, and said worriedly: "Today, Have your hands ever hurt?"

Lian Yi was about to answer out loud, when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps coming from far and near, the footsteps were broken and gentle, and it didn't take long before they stopped in front of Lian Yi's room door, and then the door rang twice. A soft voice came: "Master, are you asleep?"

Lian Yi let go of Shu Qingwan, exchanged a glance with her, adjusted her clothes, and replied calmly, "I just came back, what's the matter?"

"I heard from my servant that you came back. I was afraid that you hadn't eaten all night, so I specially brought some pastries that you like." An Lian's tone was humble, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Shu Qingwan was still in the room, Lian Yi still refused after thinking about it: "No, I don't really want to eat, I just want to rest now."

Although An Lian has always known that she has a relationship with Shu Qingwan, and probably vaguely guessed their relationship, she still doesn't want An Lian to know too much about her and Shu Qingwan, so as not to cause complications.

I didn't expect An Lian to be patient. She softened her voice and pleaded slightly: "Sister, I made these pastries specially for you during the day. You haven't eaten my pastries yet. How about you try them?" ?”

Lian Yi glanced at Shu Qingwan, saw Shu Qingwan nodded, walked to the door and opened half of the door, said to the outside: "Okay, then give it to me, I will eat it when I have free time."

Seeing Lian Yi open the door, An Lian's eyes lit up, and she showed a gentle smile: "Sir, then Lian'er can..."

She was halfway through speaking, when she suddenly saw Shu Qingwan standing behind Lianyi, her smile froze and her voice stiffened, "Sister Shu is here today."

"En." Shu Qingwan nodded towards An Lian.

"Then I...don't bother Xianggong and Sister Shu, then I...I'll go back first." An Lian said, handing the tray in her hand to Lianyi inside the door .

After Lianyi took the clothes, she gave Lian Yifu a little flustered salute, then turned and walked towards her own room.
