19.019 Hundred Days Feast
Although he threw the housekeeping back to Xia Chuqing, Su Yu didn't have the heart to let Xia Chuqing handle the preparation of Miao Miao's 100-day banquet.
For Xia Chuqing, she has only one request - to hide Mrs. Xue from her, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Xue Muqing felt that it was okay to sue Mrs. Xue - but Su Yu couldn't believe Mrs. Xue, she couldn't even believe Xue Muqing, in her opinion, some things were variables before they were a fait accompli.
After all, Miao Miao is not Xue Muqing's biological child after all, Su Yu paused: "It doesn't matter if you regret it, anyway, I planned to let Miao Miao follow my surname from the beginning."
Xue Muqing was silent for a moment, revealed the matter, and discussed with her who to invite.
Xue Muqing's side is simple, although he was a little higher than the same year because of the high school champion at the beginning, but he only stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a year, and after getting the green eyes of the Lu family, he was promoted by half a level, but in the end, he was just a petty official, and he was not conspicuous in a place like the capital, and the officials, colleagues, and subordinates invited were not of high rank, so he didn't have to care too much.
The people Xue Muqing wants to invite here, Su Yu is a little concerned, but a few elders and peers of the Xue family.
No matter what, if she wants to give Miao Miao a justifiable background, Xue Muqing and the Xue family can't avoid it.
What Su Yu wants to invite here is not too complicated.
The Su family has been thin for several generations, Su Hui and Su Yuen Long do not have any brothers, although there are still clansmen, and they also help the clansmen, but for Su Yu's generation, some of the clansmen are even out of the five suits, Su Yu is a foreign daughter, and the relationship with the clansmen is even more estranged, and most of the people she is close to are relatives from the Xu family of her mother.
Su Yu's maternal grandmother is from the Qin family, the aunt is married to the Wei family, and the eldest aunt is married to the Xu family. Of course, in addition to the Wei family, Su Yu is closer to those relatives of the Xu family, and several cousins of the Xu family are even closer, but there is only one person, Su Yu is not sure whether to send out the invitation-
Xu Ming, the eldest cousin of the Xu family, is about ten years older than Su Ming, and likes to take care of his cousin and cousin since he was a child, Su Ming himself has no sisters, and he admires and loves a cousin like Xu Ming, Xu Ming is a good person, even if he is married, he has not broken the sisterhood - Su Ming has checked the gift list in the past few years, because of filial piety or other reasons, Su Yu and those friends and cousins in the past are more or less unfamiliar, but this eldest cousin has not changed from beginning to end.
However, Su Yu didn't want to send an invitation to Xu Ming at this moment - without him, Xu Ming married into the Tang family, and her husband's name was Tang Li, who was Tang Yun's eldest brother.
The reason why Su Yun and Tang Yun are childhood sweethearts is that in addition to the friendship between the Su and Tang families, in addition to the friendship between the Tang family and the aunt who takes care of Su Yun, they also have some relationship with Xu Ming.
It was done before, but now that he heard that Tang Yun was coming back, Su Yun would inevitably think of the word "avoiding suspicion".
"To Mom, you say yes...... The second brother of the Tang family, he ......" Su Yu paused: "Didn't you always hear that he was going to come back before, but now have you heard the exact news?"
"I did hear people mention it a few months ago, and then it stopped," Xiang thought to his mother, "Maybe there is something delayed on the road, and my wife asked about it......"
Xiang lowered his mother's voice: "But...... Figured it out? β
"What have you figured out clearly," Su Yu glanced at his mother: "Xiang, mother, don't think nonsense...... I'm ...... He, impossible. β
Xiang mother's face was regretful: "Even after so many years, the slave still thinks that you are a golden boy and a girl, and you should be a pair of ...... by nature."
"To Mom, be cautious!" Su Yu was very helpless: "How many times have you said this, don't talk about it casually, why are you so stubborn to your mother?" Don't say what it was like back then, but now five years later, it is impossible for him to not get married, you always hang these words on your lips, and when you are heard, it will inevitably hurt and anger. β
What else did he want to say to his mother, Su Yu waved his hand: "I only ask you, did he really not come back to Beijing?"
Although Xiang's mother was unwilling, she still nodded: "I haven't heard that he is back."
Su Yu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case...... On the eldest cousin's side, there are no worries. β
Finally, when it was the right day, Su Yu used Li Yushu's family to kill chickens and monkeys, and then punished a few people who were cheating and cheating.
On the contrary, something happened to Xue Muqing's side - Su Yu actually didn't know whether this matter could be counted on Xue Muqing's head, and Su Yu personally handled the list that Xue Muqing had drawn up, so he naturally knew who Xue Muqing had invited - however, some people came uninvited.
The people of the Lu family, as well as several families who are attached to the Lu family.
Su Yu knew that they were not good at coming, but she didn't like to deal with the Lu family before she got married, and now it's the same, even if the Lu family has the grace to support Xue Muqing, Su Yu is too lazy to be false with them, they just want to see her jokes, Su Yu is not in the mood to deal with them - since the Lu family and the Su family are incompatible, the daughters of those who are attached to the Lu family are not dealing with Su Su before marrying into the Lu family, and after marrying the Lu family, Su Yu is even more disdainful...... As for Xue Muqing's future or something, Su Yu didn't care about it.
If you have that leisure, you might as well talk to Xu's more.
Xu's spirit was much better than last time, avoiding everyone, Xu asked her worriedly, "What's the matter?" How can you quietly hold a 100-day banquet...... If others don't know, don't we know it ourselves? You weren't pregnant at all, when did you have another baby? Didn't even do the three washes? Don't prevaricate me with the rhetoric you use to deal with outsiders! β
Su Yu knew that he couldn't hide it from his mother, so he made a debut with Pantuo: "It's Siqin's child."
"Siqin...... Siqin is rare, but if it is just for peace of mind, it will be raised...... Why do you have to make a big fuss about this," Xu sighed: "If you really want to raise a child...... There's not a ready-made ...... over there."
"Mother!" Su Yu interrupted Xu's words: "Do you think that I am the kind of person who will help others raise children for no reason?"
"It's just a concubine, you are willing to raise him, you are promoting him," Xu Shi was worried: "Your body is ...... Have you asked a few more doctors to diagnose it...... Otherwise, let's go back and ask a few doctors to take a look, maybe there is still a chance for a turnaround......"
"I don't want to do that," Su Yu shook his head: "It's enough for me to keep Miao Miao growing up, and for other things, just take one step at a time."
"That's it, that's it, it's up to you," Xu shook his head helplessly, remembered something, and lowered his voice: "Anyway, since you have a 'child', let's live a good life...... The last time I talked about the separation...... Don't mention it again, your grandfather...... I'm afraid I'm not very happy to see you and leave. β
Su Yu also sighed, unwilling to tell the Xu family what was on his mind, so he only replied indiscriminately: "I can save it."
Although Xu is her mother, but in the end, Xu's luck is very good, there are no concubines and aunts in the family before getting married, and marrying is also married to the Su family, who has no concubine rules, and Su Yuanlang is very affectionate, and the two sons don't let her worry about it, so she is over half a hundred years old, Su Yu seems that Xu's is actually still a little naΓ―ve - the only thing Xu has to worry about in this life is probably just her daughter.
Su Yu knew that Xu Shi could not understand his own situation and his own thoughts, but he was not willing to argue with Xu Shi, so he said a few perfunctory words casually, Xu Shi seemed to realize something, and before the mother and daughter, there was a little silence for a while.
However, some people can't see her comfortably.
After sitting opposite Xu for a while, the newly bought maid Xiaojing asked to see her outside the door, and Sao Hong asked what was going on, before she came in and returned to Su Yu and said, "Madam...... Old man...... Old Madam Xue was waiting outside the courtyard gate. Originally, I was going to talk about the old lady, but when the Xu family was there, I changed my words.
Su Yu frowned slightly: "Go out and have a look."
It's not right to say "waiting", to be precise, Mrs. Xue and a few good people were stopped outside the gate of Su Yuan, and when Su Yu appeared, the anger on Mrs. Xue's face was obvious: "Are you becoming more and more magnificent?" Even I dare to stop it? β
Su Yu smiled: "What is my mother-in-law talking about, what is not magnificent, and now the people who follow me are not as good as half of what I was before I got married."
"Besides," Su Yuhun didn't care: "If my mother-in-law has something to find a daughter-in-law, she just needs to find someone to call me over, where do you need to run over deliberately, I don't know the inside story, I think it's just me taking the big down, and I'm a daughter-in-law, and it's okay to bear this reputation for my mother-in-law, I'm afraid that someone is not interested, and I will say that my mother-in-law is deliberately making things difficult for the juniors, then my sin will be great."
Old Madam Xue was stunned, squinted her eyes and looked at Su Yu: "It's strange that someone told me that you have changed a lot recently."
Su Yu was noncommittal, what "someone", isn't it Xia Chuqing, glanced at it, didn't see Xia Chuqing, Su Yu went over to support Mrs. Xue, and said casually: "This Aunt Xia is really, saying that she wants to take care of her mother-in-law for my mother-in-law, but she actually let her mother-in-law drag her sick body out to blow the wind, this sin is too big."
Old Madam Xue was about to refute that she was not sick at all, Su Yu helped her walk a few steps quickly, and then let her maid go over to separate the female relatives who came to watch the play, and lowered her voice and said to Old Madam Xue: "If my mother-in-law wants to make a joke today and ruin Xue Muqing's future, you can make trouble with me now, I am not afraid of losing face, I don't know if my mother-in-law is the same." Regarding Old Madam Xue's weakness, Su Yu is also clear.
Old Madam Xue settled down, and Su Yu turned to the people outside: "Mother-in-law is anxious to see her granddaughter, I will take her in, as for you...... Please forgive me for not being considerate, the small courtyard really can't accommodate so many people, and the children love to be quiet...... I'll make amends to you later. β
blocked the intention of those people to follow up and watch the play, Su Yu helped Mrs. Xue into the courtyard, no outsiders were there, Mrs. Xue shook off Su Yu's hand, Su Yu was not annoyed, and asked Xiao Xiang to wipe her hands with a handkerchief, Mrs. Xue was angry again, and when she saw that Xu was also there, she was even more angry: "It turns out that the in-laws are also there, no wonder, what are you doing in private."
"Is my mother-in-law blaming my mother for not going out to greet her?" Su Yu deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of Mrs. Xue: "Mother-in-law's words are not right, no matter how you say it, my mother is also a guest of the Xue family, and there is no reason to let the guests go to welcome the lord's house, and, according to the grade, it should be the mother-in-law who salutes her mother."
"A good tutor in the in-laws," Mrs. Xue mocked: "If you teach a daughter to be sharp-toothed, you have to be unforgiving."
Before the Xu family answered, Su Yu took the opportunity to say: "That's natural, my mother was born in the Xu family, and the Xu family has produced three queens, and the family education is naturally excellent." Thank you mother-in-law for your praise. She didn't believe it, pulled the queen out, and Old Madam Xue dared to say this.
Old Madam Xue was really speechless, and finally got down to business: "Don't talk about this, I just ask you - what happened to the sudden extra daughter."
Su Yu looked calm: "My mother-in-law is too negligent to the family on weekdays, and she doesn't even know that I gave birth to a daughter?"
Old Madam Xue was extremely angry: "I only know that you can't give birth at all!" Where did the daughter come from! β
"As for me, persuade my mother-in-law to keep her voice quiet," Su Yu's brows furrowed: "Why can't I give birth...... I don't mind letting outsiders know about my first child...... But mother-in-law is willing, mother-in-law, do you dare to let outsiders know what Xue Muqing has done, mother-in-law, what have you done? β
She lowered her voice: "I killed my grandson with my own hands...... If this matter is publicized, my mother-in-law doesn't mind? In that case, why don't we go out and talk to people now, and by the way, that child is in Rexiao...... The mother-in-law is really ruthless...... For the sake of a moment, let alone a grandson, his own son can also be harmed. I don't know if in these years, when my mother-in-law dreamed back at midnight, did she dream of her grandson who was strangled by her own hands? β
"You-" Old Madam Xue was choked by her repeated words, but she also calmed down, knowing that she was being picked up by someone with ulterior motives, and she couldn't hold back her face: "No matter what, I won't recognize a wild child who doesn't know the origin!" A wild child from nowhere, what a 100-day feast! Big brother didn't even do three washes! β
"Mother-in-law, don't think too highly of yourself," Su Yu almost laughed: "Mother-in-law, do you recognize it, what's the matter?" The people who came today are either Xue Muqing's colleagues or relatives of the Su family, to be honest, others give face, but also because of the face that this child is my face, as for the one born by Aunt Xia...... said that he was just a concubine, he couldn't blame me for not being in the limelight, if he wanted to blame, blame him for having such an aunt who couldn't be on the stage! β
Old Madam Xue's stubborn temper also came up: "Anyway, I just don't recognize this child!" I can't control what you're going to do! Even Qing'er was deceived by you together! Good for you, Sushi! β
"My daughter is naturally excellent," Xu Shi said: "She is a person who gives her a point, and she respects people for three points, if someone thinks she is wrong, then that person's fault is only afraid of more."
"Dare to teach my daughter a lesson in front of me," Xu Shi's eyes reddened: "When I can't usually see it, maybe how you can torture her!"
"Mother......" Su Yu ignored Mrs. Xue, and went over to hug Xu: "I'm fine."
Xu slapped her hand and turned to Mrs. Xue: "I don't care if you recognize me as a granddaughter or not, but if you dare to give my daughter no face in front of people, even if it is a harmony, I will not let my daughter be angry."
"And leave?" Old Madam Xue seemed to have heard some joke: "She is a woman who can't give birth, and she dares to leave?" And who else can she marry after leaving? β
"Even if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life, is it possible that our family can't afford to support her? Besides, even if we want to get married, will the daughter of our family still not be able to get married? Don't say it's a divorce, even if the husband dies and remarries, there are still people who respect it, and it may not be possible to find a lower one than your family's door," Xu said maliciously: "On the contrary, it is the son-in-law's side, and it is impossible to find a better one after leaving, if our family preaches how you are learning from my daughter, I am afraid that in the capital, as long as the Su family is still in the day, you will not be able to find the next home, and when the time comes, either you can only look outside, or you can only straighten out the concubine - by the way, if you take the concubine as your wife, The son-in-law's career has also come to an end. β
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren," Xu continued, "As an elder, you keep an eye on what the children's room looks like all day long!" I think the son-in-law has an idea, and the in-laws should not interfere too much, otherwise, he will be separated from you by then, and it has nothing to do with others. β
Xu didn't wait for Mrs. Xue to react, and asked Mrs. Xue to help Mrs. Xue to see Miao Miao: "Go and see Miao Miao, she is a lovely person like a pink carving, and it is a good blessing to have such a granddaughter." He turned back and gave Su Yu a reassuring expression.
I don't know what Xu persuaded later, anyway, in the end, it was Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu who appeared in front of the guests with Miao Miao, Su Yu saw that Mrs. Xue was smiling a little reluctantly, and she was always worried that she was making trouble - but until the guests were sent away, nothing else happened.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief - Miao Miao's background finally has an explanation.
Of course, if you can hide it from ordinary people, some people can't hide it - but it doesn't matter, if Miao Miao wants to marry someone in the future, Heng Zhu will not choose from those people's families.
Sending off the guests does not mean that Su Yu and the others can rest in peace, but also to sort out the gift list and the gifts sent, and when they return the gift in the future, it is good to make a precedent.
There is a gift list, and there is no payment from the giver, but Su Yu only looked at the handwriting, and he knew in his heart-
She looked back at her mother, "Didn't you mean it...... Didn't he come back? β
Xiang Mother knew who Su Yu was talking about: "It's true that no one has seen him come back...... Maybe someone sent it over. You see that this gift list is additional, and it is not attached to the Tang family's gift list. Besides, if someone else appears, it is impossible for the master not to know, and there will definitely be a commotion ahead. β
