Chapter 192: Mother and Son
Second Mrs. Liu nodded, and after today's observation, she also agreed with Old Mrs. Liu's opinion.
"You will ask the second master in detail later, if the rumors are all false, don't miss the opportunity......"
……
Yongjing Palace, Chunhui Hall
Princess Su of Yongjing finally sent Mrs. Dingyuan and the three girls of the Wei family away, and couldn't help but sit on the couch and breathe a sigh of relief. Mrs. Dingyuan is really good at talking, if she didn't show tiredness uncontrollably, I was afraid that Mrs. Dingyuan would still sit down, and then she would have to stay for dinner.
The old lady who was serving next to her saw that Su Shi's face was tired, so she hurriedly brought ginseng tea over, and knelt down at Su's feet to beat Su's legs.
Su Shi drank ginseng tea, and hurriedly asked the old lady to get up. This grandmother's surname is Yuan, she has served by Su's side since she was a child, and she has been serving in Su's front all these years, and she knows Su's mind best, and is Su's first confidant.
"Hurry up, Mama, you're also old, where are these things going to be done with you." Su Shi asked Mama Yuan to get up, and motioned for her to sit down on the footrest.
"If you're tired, just lie down and sleep for a while." Mama Yuan slowly sat down on the footrest, and persuaded Su Shidao.
Su Shi waved his hand.
"Where I am tired like that, I have something in my heart, and I can't sleep." Su Shi sighed.
"Niangniang is just too worried." Mama Yuan also sighed.
"Not really. That's what I'm worried about. When you close your eyes, maybe your heart will be idle. Su said.
Now although there are a lot of things in this palace, they are generally clear. If you want to talk about the most worrying thing for the Su family at the moment, it is Rong Chenghan's marriage. This is also what Su Shi is thinking at this time, and Mama Yuan naturally knows it.
"There are also differences in the things that I am worried about, but the things that Niangniang is worried about now are great joys." Mama Yuan laughed with a smile.
"Then the third master nods, hey, this kid." Su's gaze drifted to the door. "It's also such an age, what else don't you understand? Today, let him come over and look at each other, he is good, he went to call a few times, but he refused to come for some reason. In the end, he came, and he brought his eldest brother as well......"
He sat there, but he refused to speak, but he only listened to his eldest brother, and he sat there, but he refused to even look at the girls. What have these little girls in the boudoir seen? When they saw his beard, they didn't dare to look at him. He refused to smile again, which made people look panicked. Didn't you be there at the time, did you see it, as soon as he came in, those girls didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to come out...... Who would dare to marry him! ”
Mama Yuan listened to Su's complaints, so she pursed her lips and laughed.
"Oh, it's not the old slave who said. I really don't have to worry about that. Those girls, I'm afraid they all know something, so they are shy, and they are hearty. I'm afraid that I want to marry our third master. Our third master's character, talent and appearance ......"
"Don't talk about other people's families, just this Dingyuan Uncle's Mansion, it was originally the prince of the Zhending Marquis Mansion, and now. Niangniang can't see it, as long as Niangniang speaks, she will respond immediately. Mama Yuan said. While stealing a glance at Su's face, "How does Niang Niang look at that Wei Jiu girl?" ”
"He looks good, and he's a well-behaved child. Although they are a little squeamish, people like them, pampered and pampered, are inevitably like this. Su Shi said, the meaning of his words was that he liked Miss Wei Jiu very much.
"Since Niangniang has taken a fancy to it, what's the bother?" Mama Yuan said.
"Gotta ...... The third master nodded. Su said.
"The third master is used to the north, and he doesn't care. Niangniang told the third master well, the third master will definitely understand, and can also understand Niangniang's hard work. Mama Yuan said.
Hearing Mama Yuan say this, a wry smile appeared on Su's face.
"Look, which of these girls who came today, the third master...... Oh......" Su Shi thought about it, and asked Mama Yuan again.
Su Shi did not explain, but Yuan Mama naturally understood what Su Shi was asking. Mama Yuan remembered what she had just heard the little girl say, and just wanted to tell Su Shi, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it back again, and just shook her head at Su Shi, saying that she couldn't see it either.
"Niangniang, it's better to ask the third master in person." Mama Yuan suggested to Su.
"That's what you said, I was about to ask him." Su Shi said this, and sent the little girl out to invite Rong Chenghan to come over and talk.
The little girl went for a long time, and Rong Chenghan came.
"Sit down and talk...... Su Shi saw that Rong Chenghan was coming, so he hurriedly asked Rong Chenghan to sit down, and while giving the people who were waiting, Yuan Mama took the people who served and retreated.
“…… You are now nineteen years old, and your eldest brother and second brother have already become relatives at your age. When Su Shi said this, he paused, and quickly glanced at Rong Chenghan, as if he regretted saying this with some regret. Seeing that Rong Chenghan did not have the slightest abnormality on his face, Su Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued.
"A few years ago, you followed your father to the north, and there was no way. Now that the north is also stable, you have come back and have an official position in the court, and it is time to get married! ”
Rong Chenghan listened to Su Shi very carefully, but he was noncommittal.
Su Shi also seemed to be accustomed to Rong Chenghan's taciturn nature, and seeing that Rong Chenghan did not show disgust, he continued to speak.
“…… There are a lot of girls here today, and their family backgrounds are good, and they are a good match for us. You...... Which one do you fall into? Su Shi looked at Rong Chenghan, as if he wanted to find out some answer from Rong Chenghan's face.
“…… Is it a none of them? None of them have ever seen it? ”
Su Shi asked like this, and Rong Chenghan couldn't keep silent.
“…… I didn't even see it, and I couldn't talk about being in the middle of the picture. Rong Chenghan finally spoke.
Su Shi only felt a block in his chest and looked at Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan's serious face did not look like an excuse. He really didn't go to see the girls who came today. Su Shi felt that his chest was getting more and more blocked.
"No matter how you don't get married, it's not like words, there are three ...... of unfilial piety, your father also mentioned this matter to me yesterday......"
"My father didn't tell me about ......"
"Your father commanded me, that's why I told you."
"Oh......" Rong Chenghan raised his eyes and glanced at Su.
Su Shi sat on the couch, and felt that Rong Chenghan's glance and that sound were a little meaningful, and they both stabbed her deeply. Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and refused to show anything on his face, but continued to tell Rong Chenghan that he had reached the age when he should get married, and he couldn't delay it any longer.
"I just came back......" Rong Chenghan said.
"I know you're busy, but no matter how busy you are, you can always spare some time. It's arranged for you, you just have to look at each other, which one you like, and it's better to settle down early. Su said.
Rong Chenghan was silent, and it seemed that he did not object to Su's suggestion, or decision.
Although they have been separated for all these years, the Su family still has a little understanding of this son's temperament, and knows that at this time, the iron must be struck while the iron is hot.
"Your seventh sister......" Su Shi said as he looked at Rong Chenghan.
"I only think she's a sister." Rong Chenghan said immediately, without a moment's hesitation.
Su Shi paused, looking at Rong Chenghan's eyes for a moment of sluggishness, Rong Chenghan looked back at Su Shi, his eyes were firm, without any hesitation and dodging.
"She's naturally your cousin," Su retracted his gaze, but didn't stop the topic, "Aunt cousin, kiss and kiss." You have grown up together since childhood, and you are better than others. Your seventh sister's appearance, talent, and character are also better than others. We all ......"
"Is it the meaning of the concubine? Is it what the father meant? What do you mean by the uncles? Rong Chenghan's face remained unchanged, and his tone was no different from usual. Su Shi didn't notice the slightest abnormality, I'm afraid that only people who have been with Rong Chenghan all these years may be able to notice the coldness in Rong Chenghan's tone at the moment.
It was an anger without temperature.
"Your seventh sister grew up beside me since she was a child......" Because he didn't notice Rong Chenghan's abnormality, Su Shi continued. When it comes to Su Qingnuan, Su seems to have a lot to say, and she said so much, only Rong Chenghan must love to listen, "Your uncle and aunt also approve of it." ”
Su Shi said this, although she did not explicitly state her own attitude, but obviously she was also very much in favor of it.
"What does Father mean?" Rong Chenghan asked lightly.
"Your father, your father has not been in good health lately, and he has a lot of things. Naturally, your father is in favor of it. Su Shi said naturally.
"Oh......" Rong Chenghan sighed again.
"What do you think?" Su had no choice but to ask again.
"Seventh sister, I only treat her as a sister." There was no fluctuation in Rong Chenghan's tone, and his gaze was still firm when he looked at Su.
"You ......" Su Shi was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Rong Chenghan to refuse so categorically. Rong Chenghan refused for the first time, Su Shi was not prepared to be Rong Chenghan, and the young man was thin-skinned. But the second time, Rong Chenghan still refused so simply, and the Su family couldn't think like that anymore.
Su Shi was surprised, in her opinion, the relationship between Rong Chenghan and Su Qingnuan has always been very close. Su Qingnuan is not the same as Rong Chengnan and other cousins, and Rong Chenghan is also different from others to Su Qingnuan. Su Qingnuan likes Rong Chenghan, not to mention that Rong Chenghan now has such an achievement. And Rong Chenghan also likes Su Qingnuan. It's just that these two children know how to be very polite, so they usually get along as brothers and sisters, but occasionally there will be feelings unconsciously revealed.
Now at this time, it should be a matter of course, as long as the elders of both sides speak, it will be a marriage that is no longer good.
However, Rong Chenghan actually refused.
“…… After a few years of separation, it is inevitable that you will be unfamiliar......" Su said. (To be continued......)
