Chapter 109: Choosing a son-in-law
"Miss. Sir, please come over. When he heard the ceremony, Su Qi was sitting in his courtyard with breakfast.
Today is another day of class break, she was going to take advantage of this free time to go to the Splendid Pavilion to have a look, and then go around the mansion by the way, but Su Qingyuan suddenly asked someone to invite her over, which naturally disrupted her plan.
Su Qi responded, hurriedly cleaned up and left.
When he arrived at the Su family's study, Su Qi unexpectedly found that Ma was also there. It would be early in the morning, how could ordinary people go out to visit relatives and friends at this hour, so Su Qi felt that something was wrong when he saw Ma's.
But she still saluted Ma as usual.
"It's really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, we just talked about Xiao Qi, and she came. Ma smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and his tone was soft, with a bit of kindness and love.
Su Qi raised her eyes and looked at Su Qingyuan, I don't know if it was her delusion, she always felt that something was wrong with Su Qingyuan today. If he saw himself ordinarily, even if he didn't speak, he would look at her with eyes full of concern, why didn't he look at himself today?
"Xiao Qi has seen his father. ”
The thoughtful number of courtesies was only exchanged for Su Qingyuan's indifferent look.
"Five years have passed in this blink of an eye, and Xiao Qi is a big girl. When I first saw her, she was only up to my waist, but now she is almost taller than me. ”
Su Qi thanked him humbly, and exchanged a few polite words with Ma. She is indeed taller than girls of the same age, but she is not as tall as Ma said, and such polite words Su Qi only went in and out of the left ear, and he would not take it seriously.
"It's a big girl, but she's too wild, and it's time to find someone to take care of her. Su Qingyuan spoke again, but Su Qi felt that something was wrong.
Listening to the tone of her father's words, he felt that he wanted to marry her?
"Qingyuan, what you said is not right, I look at Xiao Qizi is really well-behaved, especially this etiquette, in front of him is impeccable, and she is a talented girl who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can she be wild. However, listening to what you say, our Xiaoqi will be over in two years, and it's time to mention this family matter. The smile on Ma's face became more and more kind.
Su Qi couldn't afford goosebumps for no reason, she still knew something about this Ma family, this person is a soft on the outside and strong on the inside, as the head of the Xu family, she not only manages the Xu family's back house in an orderly manner, but also manages the head of the Xu family very well. To put it nicely, it's soft on the outside and tough on the inside, and if it's not good, it's a smiling tiger with a sweet mouth and a bitter heart.
Five years ago, she fell into the water at her grandmother's birthday banquet, and this time Xu Lian's poison on herself was from the hands of this kind-faced woman. Although the Splendid Pavilion has begun to take shape, it is still unable to fully understand the details of the Ma Clan, so Su Qi does not plan to fight against the Ma Clan for the time being.
One of her enemies, Song Wuliang, has not been dealt with for the time being, so it is not advisable to make too many enemies. Second, the relationship between her father Su Qingyuan and the Xu family is not ordinary, and for the sake of her father, she can endure this breath for the time being.
"Mother-in-law, you are right," it's just that the son-in-law clearly understands business matters, but he doesn't know anything about this marriage between a man and a woman. I specially asked you to come here today to help you come up with ideas. ”
"Dad, my daughter is not old enough to get married. Su Qi opened her mouth coquettishly, hoping to wake up her good father with this. Since she was reborn, she has not thought about this again, since she can live well with her own strength, why should she marry someone else's family to be restrained? Take a step back, even if she wants to marry, she must add someone she likes, and she does not expect these two people in front of her to give any good candidates.
"I think Xu Jinyan's child is not bad, and regardless of his background, I like this child's temperament very much. I heard that he is quite talented in academics, but he is a rare talent. Su Qingyuan didn't seem to hear Su Qi's coquettishness, so he changed his tone of discussion and chatted with Ma.
Ma's complexion changed a little, but it quickly returned to normal, if it weren't for Su Qi's eyes that had been paying attention to her intentionally or unintentionally, I am afraid that he would not have noticed.
Jin Yan is really a good one, but he is still in the filial piety period, but I am afraid that it is not appropriate to mention family affairs. In addition to Jinyan, I have a few good candidates. This is an obvious refusal, Ma said with a face that several men of the right age came out, including the sons of merchants and the children of official families, which all seemed to be good, at least they matched Su Qi's identity.
Imperial merchants, in the eyes of those officials, are just merchants with better reputations. Most of the officials are above the top, and they think that they are more noble than the ordinary people, and if there are no special reasons, they are probably unwilling to marry with the merchants. And most of those special reasons are related to money.
Seeing that he was rejected, Su Qingyuan did not feel displeased, politely thanked Ma's family, and talked to Ma's about some things, so he started to send guests on the grounds that he was too busy with business, and he didn't even leave lunch.
mentioned Xu Jinyan but was rejected by the Ma family, Su Qingyuan was actually very unhappy and even a little annoyed in his heart. In his heart, his baby daughter is worthy of even the royal family, but he doesn't want his daughter to live too tired, the more prominent the family, the more complicated the family relationship is, and the people in it will inevitably have more things to bear. It's not that he has no way to let his daughter marry into those noble families in the capital that are envied by the world, it's just that he has lived for most of his life, and he has already seen some things clearly.
The powerful and wealthy, even if they are prosperous and beautiful, attract people's yearning, but they are just passing clouds. Just as water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, while they bring people enjoyment, they also push people to an eye-catching high place, and if they are not careful, they may be pushed down from a high place by someone with a heart, and they will fall to pieces.
Su Qingyuan has a deep understanding of this, so he doesn't plan to let his daughter be in that environment, but wants to find a good family to marry her in Yizhou and live a peaceful life. Originally, he didn't plan to mention Su Qi's family affairs so soon, but before Su Qi was poisoned, the fact that he was invited by the Song family to marry the stupid young master of the Song family brought him a lot of excitement, and also made him suddenly realize that his daughter was actually a big girl.
Therefore, when he found out that Su Qi was actually the master of the Splendid Pavilion, he was not too surprised, and his body was not as angry as he thought.
"Dad, my daughter doesn't want to get married, and my daughter just wants to be by her father's side all the time. Without the outsider Ma between father and daughter, Su Qi did not deliberately hide his emotions as he did at the beginning, and his words and demeanor when talking to Su Qingyuan returned to his usual appearance.
"Yes, I see that you are eager to leave quickly, I have long told you that the girl's family should not show up again, you are good, you always run outside without saying anything, and you have set up some splendid pavilion, what are you not taking my words as a deaf ear? Find a husband for you to take care of you, in my opinion, I really can't wait for a moment!"
