Chapter 124 It turns out to be you
Su Yu stood in a narrow alley, in front of the last house in Luxi, looking at the narrow door.
Su Yu asked Fu Feng who was standing behind her with a bag of cakes,
"Are you sure you live here?"
Fu Feng nodded and said,
"Yes, my lord. I heard that he lives here."
Su Yu turned his head and looked at the narrow and dilapidated wooden door, with some doubts.
"The embroiderer you mentioned lives in such a shabby place and actually refuses to be hired to work. Is there such a person?"
Fu Feng was also surprised when he saw the slightly dilapidated gate.
"But this is where my subordinates found out, and the news is absolutely true!"
Su Yu said,
"In that case, let's see what kind of embroiderer he is."
After he finished speaking, Su Yu walked forward and knocked on the door.
A childish voice came from inside the door.
"Who is it? Here we come."
As the footsteps gradually approached the door, the door was opened from the inside, revealing a childish face that looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.
Seeing this, Su Yu immediately turned around and glared at Fu Feng.
"Is this the Xiulang you were talking about?!"
As soon as the child opened the door, he was struck by Su Yu's peerless beauty and stood still.
It was not until he heard Su Yu questioning Fu Feng that he came to his senses.
Fu Feng was almost startled by the child who suddenly appeared at the door and jumped up. Just when he was about to ask who he was,
The child came to his senses and explained to them with a red face,
"Are you here to look for Brother An Xun? I'm not the owner of this house. I'm just here to help."
When Su Yu heard the child say this, he felt relieved. As long as the child was not a minor, it was fine!
The child shouted into the yard,
"Brother An Xun, two noble ladies are looking for you!"
Su Yu looked in the direction where the child was shouting, and saw a figure in coarse linen clothes standing under the locust tree with an upright and proud back, slowly turning towards her.
The moment he saw the man's face, Su Yu was shocked. It was actually him?!
The people who came around under the tree were also quite shocked when they saw Su Yu!
An Xun originally thought that it was some annoying merchants who wanted to hire him for work.
It happened that Xiaodouzi was at his house, so he thought of asking Xiaodouzi to help him send the people away.
Unexpectedly, Xiaodouzi didn't help him send the people away, but instead helped people call him into the yard!
An Xun had no choice. Xiaodouzi had called him, so he had to turn around.
But when he turned around, he didn't expect to see trouble, but the figure that had been lingering in his mind recently.
An Xun's mouth corners curled up visibly, and he hurried towards the door.
"I didn't expect it to be you, my lady!"
Su Yu looked at the gentle man in front of him, and she didn't expect that the embroiderer Fu Feng was talking about was actually him.
No wonder she felt familiar when she heard the child call An Xun just now.
"I didn't expect it to be you."
Seeing how familiar the two were with each other, Fu Feng behind Su Yu was a little dumbfounded.
An Xun saw that there was someone following Su Yu with something in his hand, so he quickly moved aside and invited Su Yu,
"Please come in first, my lady. Standing at the door all the time makes me look so rude and incapable of entertaining guests!"
Su Yu obediently entered the courtyard, and Fu Feng followed Su Yu into the courtyard together. Xiao Douzi followed beside him and took the pastries from Fu Feng's hand.
An Xun led Su Yu to sit on the stone bench in the yard.
"Lady, please sit down for a moment. I'll get you a glass of water."
Xiaodouzi skipped and jumped with An Xun in his hand, and went to the kitchen to work.
Fu Feng looked around and saw that there was no one in the yard, so he asked Su Yu,
"Master, do you know this embroiderer?"
Su Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Feng.
"Do you remember the last time we went to Jinji Cloth Shop to see Wang's Cloth Shop?"
Fu Feng nodded.
"I remember, but what does this have to do with this embroiderer?"
Su Yu's eyes twitched.
"It's a big deal. It was that time when I saved this embroiderer in the back alley of Wang's Cloth Shop."
Fu Feng's eyes widened when he heard this. She was simply incompetent!
Her master had a fight right under her nose and she didn't even know it!
She remembered that day she thought her master was bullied, but who knew that her master was actually a hero saving a beautiful girl!
An Xun came out of the kitchen a little while later, carrying a tray.
On it was a plate of pastries that Fu Feng had just brought over, as well as a teapot and two cups.
After seeing this, Fu Feng stood behind Su Yu, watching their nose and their heart, treating himself as a decoration, trying not to disturb the two of them.
An Xun placed the tray on the stone table, then sat down and asked Su Yu with a smile,
"Lady, you saved me last time, but you haven't told me your name yet. I've always wanted to repay you, but I don't know the slightest bit about you."
As An Xun spoke, he placed a cup in front of Su Yu, poured her a glass of water, and placed cakes in front of her.
"Don't be mean, my lady. We don't have anything to treat you at home. I'll just use the cakes you brought to offer you as a token of my appreciation."
Su Yu smiled and said,
"What's there to be dissatisfied about? I just did it casually that day. As long as Mr. An is fine,
My name is Su Yu. I opened a clothing store in the west of the city. I happened to be in need of an embroiderer, so my subordinates came to you.
I heard that there is an embroiderer here with excellent embroidery skills, but he said that he had a fright recently and needed to take a break. He doesn't want to find a master for the time being.
I didn't expect it to be you, Master An. What a coincidence."
An Xun understood.
"I see."
Su Yu asked with concern,
"I thought the embroiderer was just making an excuse by saying he was frightened, but I never thought it was Master An.
Is it because Master An hasn't recovered from what happened before? If that's the case, then I won't force you."
An Xun shook his head.
"An Xun will do his utmost to fulfill the request of his benefactor."
Su Yu said a little embarrassedly,
"Mr. An, there's no need to do this. You should prioritize your health. If you haven't recovered yet, just rest at home."
An Xun smiled and said,
"Don't worry, Miss Su. I just didn't want to work for those people before.
Being frightened is indeed an excuse, but as for Noble Lady Su, I have no excuse."
Su Yu looked at An Xun, who was smiling sincerely. A gust of wind blew by, carrying a fresh scent of grass and trees from his body towards her. She felt relieved.
"If Master An really has no difficulty, then I would like to thank you here."
Su Yu said this and stood up and bowed to An Xun.
An Xun immediately stood up, bowed to Su Yu with an upright posture, and said with a smile,
"You are so polite, Miss Su. From now on, you will be my boss!
I'll trouble you to take care of me from now on. By the way, when does your clothing store plan to open?"
When Su Yu heard An Xun's words, the corners of his mouth twitched and he said awkwardly,
"The clothing store hasn't been installed yet. I thought it would be hard to find an embroiderer, so I came here first. I didn't expect it to be someone I know..."
An Xun felt quite embarrassed when he heard this.
"When will the shop open?"
Su Yu hurriedly said,
"It's almost done! It's almost done! After my wedding on the sixth day of June, we can open for business in a few days.
By then, Master An can go back to work in the shop."
When An Xun heard Su Yu say that they were going to get married on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, his heart felt like it was hit hard by a sledgehammer. He asked an inappropriate question in a trance.
"How many husbands has Lady Su married?"
