There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 263 Shopping with two women
Su Xian did not get in the carriage, but sent Chen Keyan, Jian'er, and Bi'er to the second carriage, and then sent the remaining maids following them to the third carriage.

Then, we walked to the door of Liu Huixiang’s house next door.

At the same time, Yang Zhilan jumped on the carriage and drove the car herself, slowly following Su Xian's footsteps.

When Su Xian arrived at the door of the next door, the carriage was already parked there. The carriage was only two feet away from the Liu family's door. This was done to reduce Liu Huixiang's exposure time to others.

Su Xian faced the closed door and reached out to knock.

As a result, the door opened on its own initiative, and Liu Huixiang, wearing a waist-length undershirt with a cross-collar collar, was standing pretty in the door, flanked by Zhang Cuihua, who was tall and round.

It turned out that they had been waiting behind the door for a long time.

"Madam, hurry up and get in the car. Let's set off early while it's still dark." Su Xian turned sideways.

"Ah."

Liu Huixiang's skirt swayed as she took the first step.

She looked around, and the surrounding street scenery seemed a bit unfamiliar... As far as Su Xian knew, the last time Liu Huixiang stepped out of the house was to feed him water when he was dizzy due to heat.

As for traveling far away, that happened a very long time ago.

Su Xian saw a flash of panic on her delicate and slender face, knowing that she was feeling uneasy. Su Xian suddenly felt pity and love in his heart, and gently held her hand and smiled:
"Get in the car, you can watch enough in the car later."

"..."

Liu Huixiang looked back at Su Xian. Su Xian's bright smile warmed her heart, and she suddenly had a backbone, no longer fearful and uneasy.

"Yes." Liu Huixiang nodded lightly, smiled sweetly, and was helped into the carriage by Su Xian.

"..."

The convoy departs.

The wheels ran over the bluestone slab streets that were sparsely populated in the early morning, and drove away facing the rising sun.

In the second carriage.

Chen Keyan took off her black cloak and threw it in the corner of the carriage. She opened a corner of the side curtain and looked up with a pair of bright and inquisitive eyes.

She no longer pretended, and while looking at the outside world greedily, she muttered:

"Now that I'm out, I have to have enough fun, hehehe..."

"As for safety issues, let Su Xian worry about it! Anyway, he owes me so much..."

"..."

Muttering, Chen Keyan couldn't help but put a hand on her heart. Somehow, after so many days, she still felt a little painful...

That rude Su Xian is not gentle at all!
"One day, I will avenge what happened under the bed that night!" Chen Keyan swore fiercely with her hand on her heart.

"..."

In the first carriage, Liu Huixiang also leaned in front of the window, staring at the strange and familiar streets with her watery eyes. This was the place where she had lived for several years!

Su Xian sat aside, hooking her slender waist, and introduced the changes in the streets and street shops along the way. Liu Huixiang listened very carefully.

The new house Su Xian bought is in the city, not far from the state government office and the east city gate.

The state government office is usually located in the center of the city.

The streets here are wide and lined with green trees. People who come in and out are either rich or noble. The carriage travels for about a quarter of an hour and stops in front of a tall and magnificent gatehouse.

"We have arrived."

Su Xian jumped off the carriage and turned around to pick up Liu Huixiang.

She seemed a little scared, so she stuck her head out of the car and observed for a while. Seeing that there were few people around, she held Su Xian's hand and slowly landed on her feet.

Su Xian comforted her not to be afraid and asked her to hold her hand tightly.

As expected, Liu Huixiang held his hand, hugging him closely, following step by step, leaning against him, with her head slightly lowered, for fear that passers-by would recognize her on the street.

She actually wore a white veil, but Su Xian said she didn't need to wear it...

"There is no one else in the house, let's go in." Su Xian said.

"Ah."

"..."

The two walked into the house closely, looking around as they walked. At that time, Chen Keyan had also gotten out of the car and followed them with the maids.

Su Xian introduced as he walked:

"This is a large house with seven entrances and seven exits. It is connected by two houses... It didn't cost much silver taels, just over 5000 taels. Isn't it very cheap?"

"..."

There are many trees planted in the house, as well as crisp bamboo forests, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions, lotus pond pavilions, etc. The environment is really good.

Along the way, accompanied by the sound of birdsong, it was quiet and pleasant. Liu Huixiang couldn't help but smile from the heart. She was no longer cautious and afraid of being recognized... but she always held Su Xian's hand.

Su Xian liked her dependence on him, and Liu Huixiang liked his meticulous care for her. The two of them looked at each other from time to time and exchanged glances, making others envious.

Chen Keyan and the maids followed behind silently. Although wandering like this was not very lively and they were fed dog food, it was still better than being locked up in that two-story wooden building.

She didn't act like a monster, she acted like a little maid every step of the way, because it was a prior agreement with Su Xian not to let Liu Huixiang notice her existence.

After a while, everyone came to a pavilion to take a rest, and Su Xian continued:

"The overall planning has basically been determined. All that's left is painting and decoration. I estimate that this alone will cost more than [-] taels... but fortunately, this little money is nothing."

"..."

This place is close to the inner house selected by Su Xian.

So he left Chen Keyan and the maids where they were, and brought only Liu Huixiang and Yang Zhilan to the inner house to ask Liu Huixiang's opinion on the room layout and decoration.

After all, Liu Huixiang was once the daughter of a wealthy family. She was quite knowledgeable and made many excellent suggestions. Her overall complexion improved a lot during her participation in this matter...

When I walked out of the inner house, it was almost noon.

Chen Keyan and the others have toured the entire house five or six times, and they are already bored.

Su Xian smiled and said:

"You're all hungry, I'll take you to Zuixian Tower for dinner."

"..."

After lunch, according to Su Xian's plan, he should go back.

Chen Keyan had been quiet all morning, and now she finally started acting like a monster and actually suggested going out of town to have fun...

Su Xian refused:

"No, the city gate is guarded, and there are checkpoints everywhere outside the city. It's not convenient for us to leave the city."

"..."

Just as he finished speaking, Su Xian suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Huixiang beside him who was hesitating to speak. Her fair and delicate face was slightly red, her red lips were slightly pursed, and a pair of watery eyes were looking at him.

Su Xian's heart moved, and he threw Chen Keyan to Java. He looked sideways at Liu Huixiang and asked, "What do you want to say, madam? There is no need to worry between you and me. Just tell us."

"I, actually..." Liu Huixiang looked a little embarrassed, but facing Su Xian's encouraging eyes, she finally said with a blushing face:
"Actually... I also want to take this opportunity to go out of the city for a walk."

"That's it, okay then, let's go out of the city for a walk."

Su Xian agreed immediately.

Then everyone got in the car and drove towards the city gate... Getting out of the city was actually only a little troublesome, especially for Su Xian, who was the literary officer of Princess Lanling Mansion.
