Chapter 210 Zhou Changchuan expresses his feelings
The next day, when Shen Yanxi's carriage stopped in front of the Jiang family's gate, he happened to meet Yu and Zhou Changchuan who came to visit.
"Who is this young man?" Yu asked with a smile.
She was secretly wondering in her heart, could it be that he came to propose marriage? But then she rejected the idea. If he was here to propose marriage, he would not come alone without even a matchmaker.
Although it was a bit rude to bring Zhou Changchuan to visit last time, Yu didn't want to give up just like that, especially after meeting Jiang Suining yesterday. Of course, just in case, she didn't bring Zhou Changfeng here today.
"My name is Shen Yanxi, and I'm friends with Miss Jiang... and Mr. Jiang." Shen Yanxi nodded and replied.
The servant knew Shen Yanxi. When he saw Yu and the others went outside the mansion with Shen Yanxi, he went to the mansion to report the news.
Yesterday, Jiang Mushi said that Master Liu from the academy wanted to visit today, so Jiang Zhitong deliberately did not go out and waited at home with Zheng. When he saw the servant coming in, he thought it was Master Liu, but he didn't expect that it was Shen Yanxi and Yu and others.
Although it was a bit unexpected, since the person had arrived, all we could do was to quickly invite him into the house.
When Yu learned that the visitor was Shen Yanxi, the new champion of the imperial examination, she was very surprised. When she entered the mansion, she secretly tugged at Zheng's sleeve and said, "Why didn't I hear you say that you have a relationship with the new champion?"
The person Mr. Shen just called was Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang. His attitude seemed unusual.
"We can't say that we have any friendship. It's just that Sui Ning was in danger in the imperial suburbs before, and was fortunately rescued by Lord Shen, so we got to know each other." Zheng didn't say much. Although she had a good relationship with Yu, Shen Yanxi's identity was special, so he naturally attracted more attention. She didn't want any rumors to spread.
"So that's how it is." Yu nodded, and she remembered it, and then asked, "Where is Sui Ning, is she in the mansion today?"
"Yes, I have asked someone to notify her." Zheng said.
Yu smiled and after entering the lobby, she glanced at Shen Yanxi who was talking to Jiang Zhitong and said.
"Since Lord Shen is here, my mother and I will not disturb you from talking. It just so happens that I came here today to see Sui Ning, so I will go to the back garden to ask for a cup of tea."
"You're welcome. Please do as you please, Mrs. Zhou." Jiang Zhitong said with a smile.
Shen Yanxi looked at Zhou Changchuan, "Since Madam Zhou is going to see Miss Jiang, then Master Zhou might as well stay. Uncle Jiang and I are just chatting, if Master Zhou doesn't mind, we can chat together."
Yu originally wanted to ask Zhou Changchuan to go to the back garden with her, but after Shen Yanxi said that, it was naturally difficult for her to say that she brought her son here specifically to see Jiang Suining.
Zhou Changchuan looked at Shen Yanxi, "Master Shen, you are too polite. I..."
"Mr. Zhou, there's no need to be so polite. Let's sit down and talk." Shen Yanxi interrupted Zhou Changchuan with a smile, without giving the other party a chance to change his tone or refuse after thanking him.
It was difficult for him to stop Yu, but Zhou Changchuan should not think of contacting Sui Ning alone.
Zhou Changchuan frowned slightly, but since Shen Yanxi said so, he had no choice but to stay.
Just as he was about to respond, Jiang Mushi walked in from outside, followed by Master Liu from the academy.
"Mom and Dad, father and son Liu are here." Jiang Mushi was a little surprised to see so many people in the lobby.
When they saw Master Liu, Jiang Zhitong and Zheng greeted him hurriedly, and then glared at Jiang Mushi.
"You kid, why didn't you let someone know that Master Liu is here? We should go to the door to greet him."
"Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, you don't have to be polite. I am sorry to bother you." Master Liu looked at Shen Yanxi and Yu and the others, "Since you have guests at home, why don't I come back another day."
Jiang Zhitong quickly said it was not necessary, and then introduced Yu and Shen Yanxi and others.
When he learned that the person in front of him was Shen Yanxi, Master Liu's eyes lit up.
"So you are Lord Shen. My apologies."
Among all the academies in the entire imperial city, there is probably no one who does not know the name of Shen Yanxi.
There were even many academies that wanted to invite Shen Yanxi to write a calligraphy or a message, and Hongle Academy was no exception. However, due to the other party's identity, there was no channel for contact.
Master Liu hesitated for a moment, not wanting to miss the opportunity, so he said this reluctantly.
"Of course." Shen Yanxi agreed with a smile. He was about to say that he would send someone to deliver it after he finished writing it, but before he could open his mouth, Master Liu had already borrowed pen and ink from Jiang Zhitong.
"Don't be offended, Lord Shen. Our academy is looking forward to your calligraphy, so we hope you can write it today. After I bring it back to the academy, everyone in the academy will be very happy."
Master Liu was very enthusiastic. Since he was an elder and Jiang Mushi's teacher, Shen Yanxi naturally couldn't refuse.
Soon, they went to the study.
Yu took the opportunity to take Zhou Changchuan to the back garden.
Jiang Suining had already received the message. When Zhou Changchuan saw Jiang Suining again, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Seeing her son like this, Yu told Zheng that she wanted to see the new fabrics that she had just mentioned.
Zheng understood what Yu meant and looked at Jiang Suining.
"Mother, you guys go ahead." Jiang Suining didn't mind.
Seeing this, Zheng agreed to Yu's request, and the two left, leaving the space to Jiang Suining and Zhou Changchuan.
Zhou Changchuan was happy in his heart, but he couldn't help but worry that Jiang Suining was still brooding over what happened before.
"Ms. Jiang, I'm really sorry about what happened before."
"Didn't Mr. Zhou already apologize before? It's been so long, there's no need to mention it again." Jiang Suining smiled gently.
Seeing Jiang Suining's smile, Zhou Changchuan's tension eased a bit. After a moment of silence, he said, "I am very happy to see you again today, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Suining's eyebrows jumped, and he said calmly, "Mr. Zhou, you are too polite."
"I'm not being polite. I'm speaking from the heart, Miss Jiang. My brother and I were... I was rude, but when I met Miss Jiang, I regretted what I said."
Regarding the matter of getting married, he actually always had his own set of standards in his mind, but since he first met Jiang Suining, he felt that all the standards were unimportant, and the person in front of him was the wife he wanted.
"Mr. Zhou, we have only met a few times, and..."
"Miss Jiang, I hope you can let me finish what I'm saying."
Jiang Suining looked at him and nodded.
Zhou Changchuan mustered up his courage and spoke out what he had been thinking about for some time.
"Miss Jiang, as you said, we have only met a few times, but it is rare for a man and a woman to meet each other often before getting married. I am very sure that I really want to marry you. I know that there may be many people who come to propose marriage, and I may not be able to win over them. But I can promise you that if you are willing to marry me, I will never take a concubine in this life, only you, and no matter what you want to do, neither I nor my parents will stop you."
When Zhou Changchuan spoke, Shen Yanxi, who had hurriedly written the message and inscription, took advantage of Jiang Zhitong's conversation with Master Liu to leave. He just walked to the entrance of the back garden. Hearing this, he stopped...
