Chapter 91: Matchmaking
The morning dew did not stop.
Sitting in front of the carriage was a man with a straight body, and his jet-black hair fluttered wantonly against the morning breeze.
"Young master, it's windy outside, come in and rest. A head suddenly poked out of the carriage, and saw the dark green under the eyes of his young master, as well as the stubble that emerged overnight, and the person who spoke couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There was no response, and the man handed out a baked cake wrapped in yellow paper, "You haven't eaten anything since Mrs. Da's accident, how can you bear it like this, eat as much as you want." ”
There was still no response, and the bread sticking out of the carriage was raised in the air for a long time, and finally retracted silently. Since learning of his wife's death yesterday, the young master of his family has been like a different person, and he has a warmth all over his body, but now he exudes an aura of rejection from the inside out. He knew that his young master was a man who attached great importance to filial piety, and if it weren't for the fact that his parents had too much hope for him and hoped that he would get ahead, he would actually not want to be too far away from home.
After leaving home for five years, the young master has been diligent in his studies, and he has won the name of Xiucai in a row, and he is about to enter Beijing to prepare for the autumn exam, but at this juncture, the lady suddenly fell ill and died on the way to visit her beloved son at the Xu family in Yizhou!
"Young master, there is still a letter here, it was delivered yesterday, do you want to ......" Before the words were finished, the man complained to himself in a low voice, after the young master negotiated with the government, he took his wife's body before dawn and wanted to rush back to his hometown to bury his wife, he didn't even drink saliva, where would he have the heart to read the letter.
……
Su Qi went out to inquire with the maid, and found that Xu Jinyan was really not among the banquets, guessing that Xu Jinyan was probably sending his mother back to his hometown, Su Qi turned his thoughts back to the death of the Qin family.
In the middle of last night, Jiang Tiesheng asked someone to inform her of the news he had collected, and the official government also investigated the sudden death of the Qin family in Fumanlou, and finally confirmed that the Qin family died of a sudden illness, but Jiang Tiesheng felt that there was something wrong with the little girl next to the Qin family, and he would continue to investigate the specific matters.
At this time, the banquet in Sufu was going on in an orderly manner, although it was not a staggered meeting, but it was also a joy. Because of the difference between men and women, the banquet was divided into men and women, with the men chatting in the outer courtyard and the women gossiping in the inner courtyard.
Su Qi privately wanted to stay quietly in his Qingfeng House and not go anywhere, but Xu Lian had no choice but to let her attend under the pretext of not having enough people and wanting to take her to have more contacts with other families' daughters, not only to attend, but also to accompany Xu Lian.
If it weren't for thinking about Su Qingyuan's face, Su Qi actually wouldn't mind helping Xu Lian's face, but thinking that Xu Lian didn't dare to make any outrageous moves on the bright side, she wouldn't mind accompanying Xu Lian to perform this scene well.
"Ah, Mrs. Lin, we haven't seen each other for many years, why do you seem to be much younger than before? Xu Lian took Su Qi and Su Fangfei to walk around the garden, and from time to time she had to chat with the lady she happened to meet.
"It's Mrs. Lu, you're really good-looking, sister, I'm really envious, I heard that your beloved son has made great achievements in his studies, and I really envy my sister. ”
"Sister Pan, we haven't seen each other for a few days, Lian'er is in her heart, she often remembers it tightly, and today can be regarded as seeing her sister. ”
……
Seeing Xu Lian chatting with the ladies of the back house with different identities, Su Qi saw a little interesting. Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that Xu Lian's attitude towards the wife of the official family and the wife of the merchant is very different, but despite the difference, she is gentle and obedient when facing everyone, her demeanor is dignified and polite, and she always smiles when she sees people, which is easy to disgust.
Su Qi regretted more and more that she didn't bring pen and paper, she was also a woman, she still admired Xu Lian's acting skills, and if she could learn her essence, it would be easier to disguise herself in the future.
"Sister Song is really a rare guest, when my sister is not in Yizhou, I often think of my sister, and now I can be regarded as seeing my sister. ”
Su Qiyi fell into his own thoughts for a while, and when he reacted, he realized that there were already a few more familiar figures in front of him.
"Xiao Qi, Fei'er, come and see Mrs. Song. It wasn't until Xu Lian's soft voice sounded in his ears that Su Qi finally reacted.
The woman in front of her with a wide face, thin lips, narrow eyes, and a full body of jewels is not her mother-in-law in her previous life, the mother of the Song family-Liu!
"Xiao Qi has seen Madame. Su Qi smiled lightly, his hands folded around his waist and blessed his body, his movements were like clouds flowing through water, and he had a bit of chic attitude in the elegant nature, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.
In comparison, Su Fangfei's saluting action was a few points inferior.
"This is Xiao Qi, I haven't seen him for a while, it seems to have grown a lot, but she is a good girl, this face and this demeanor are really good. "The Liu family is used to being polite, but this time when he praised Su Qi in front of Xu Lian, it was rare to have a little sincerity. She has not heard of the reputation of the eldest lady of the Su family, this girl is not only handsome, but also has a good personality and talent, and she is also well-known in Yizhou.
Madame was wrong. Su Qi replied softly, and swept Xu Lian with timid eyes from time to time when he spoke, looking too scared.
Liu's expression suddenly became a little subtle, looking at the eldest lady in front of Xu's angry little daughter-in-law, this Xu's didn't seem to be simple, "Xiao Qi is really a good girl, I like it when I see it, this is some of my greeting gifts, take it quickly." As he spoke, Liu took off a bracelet in his hand and put it on Su Qi's thin white wrist, with a motherly smile on his face.
When she was a daughter-in-law in the Song Mansion in her previous life, she didn't have this attitude towards herself, Su Qiqi slandered, and she endured her nausea so that she didn't push the Song family away.
At Xu Lian's suggestion, Su Qi accepted the bracelet, thinking about Xu Lian's face, and the Liu family also loosened Su Fangfei's bracelet, but whether it was the color or the style, it could not be compared with the one given to Su Qi.
The smile on Xu Lian's face deepened, "It seems that our Xiaoqi and Sister Song are very close to each other, my sister heard that the second son of your mansion is now at the age of marriage, since my sister likes Xiaoqi, it is better to ......"
Xu Lian never finished saying the next words, but people who are sensible will be able to understand their deep meaning, not only the Liu family, but Su Qi couldn't help but clench his fingers when he heard it.
Su Qi had an ignorant look on his face, as if he didn't understand what Xu Lian was talking about, but the thoughts in his mind were already turning a thousand times.
It seems that the reputation of the 'Song family's idiot is still very strong, but regardless of whether Su Qi agrees or not, it is difficult to say whether her father, who is good-natured but not easy to speak, will agree......
The Liu family was a little surprised, she was so familiar with the eldest lady of the Su family, but she wanted to take her as her beloved son Song Wuyi's concubine, as for that fool, when the time came, it would be okay to stuff a rough maid for him at will, where would she bother to help him find a daughter-in-law.
