Chapter 6 The competition is full of spring
6. Compete for the beauty of the garden in spring
Sun Yao ignored Sun Wenxuan, sat down, and glanced at the table with interest, but a few side dishes were served slightly, all vegetarian, except for the tofu, the others were not distinctive. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It seems that this is to give her a good dismissal.
Rong's mother seemed to want to remind her to stand up, at least sit to the side, away from the dining table, but Sun Yao ignored her at all, just didn't see it.
But after a cup of tea, the people of the Sun family came to Qi one after another, first Wen Xuan's wife Jiang Yulan brought Sun Lanxi over, and then Mrs. Sun came with Wen Lian and Wen Zheng, and then Sun Qi came in with a distant relative of the Sun family.
Jiang Yulan waited for Mrs. Sun to sit down before taking Lanxi into the table, ignoring Sun Yao. And Mrs. Sun saw that Sun Yao had already sat down, but she only frowned and did not speak. Wen Lian and Wen Zheng just glanced at each other, and then sat down. Wen Zheng wanted to speak, but in the end he held back, a child, it was really difficult for him.
The servants were in place in turn, and a few more ingredients were served, the clear soup was low and watery, and Sun Yao, who was watching, felt a chill in his heart, and he was really stingy.
But Sun Qi and Sun Wenxuan did not sit down, Wenxuan was fine, with an indifferent face, as if he was waiting for someone. Sun Qi looked at Sun Yao viciously, his eyes full of vicious light.
"Wenxuan, Qi'er, the food is going to be cold, let's take a seat." Mrs. Sun spoke calmly.
Sun Qi looked reluctant, but Wen Xuan sat down, and the girl who followed Sun Qi sat down half-pushing, and then turned to Mrs. Sun.
"Madam, Ling'er retired first."
"Go ahead, Ling'er is becoming more sensible now."
"Thank you, Madame, for the compliment."
Seeing that Sun Ling had already gone away, Mrs. Sun said lightly to start the meal, but no one moved the chopsticks, even if she took a little food herself.
"Why don't you eat it?" Mrs. Sun's tone was steady, and she seemed to be extremely concerned, and when she spoke, she unconsciously looked at Sun Yao, Sun Yao just couldn't see it, but Sun Qi couldn't hold her breath again.
"Mother, who will eat these things for pigs!"
"Presumptuous! Come on, take the young lady down, you are not allowed to eat today! ”
"Mother-"
"Shut up!"
Probably Mrs. Sun had never been so unkind to her, Sun Qi burst into tears at the moment, but he didn't dare to say anything, and stumbled away with the support of the maid.
"Mother, Qi'er is young after all, I'll go see her." Wen Lian said with a smile.
Mrs. Sun nodded, Wen Lian patted Wen Zheng, he glanced at Sun Yao, and left silently.
"Mother, Lanxi still has to cultivate, so I'll take her back first."
Mrs. Sun nodded, smiled all over her face, touched Lan Xi's head, and watched them leave.
Now, only Sun Yao, Mrs. Sun and Sun Wenxuan are left, plus Rong Ma and a few maids.
"Look, I originally wanted the family to have a good meal, but I never thought it would be like this, Yao'er, don't be surprised."
"It's all a family, so why be polite."
"Hehe, Yao'er, the eldest lady will get straight to the point. You also know the situation of our family, now it is not as good as a year, and we still have a lot of people to raise. Your younger siblings are still young, and they don't have to use money anywhere. Although our shops are all over Xiliang, they have also closed a lot this year, and now the business is not good, and many shops are unable to make ends meet. I won't hide it from you, it's a difficult time for the world to go down. Look at this table, your sister Qi said that this is pig food, but now, we don't have to eat it. ”
"Auntie, I understand everything you said, so we don't have to sell it." Sun Yao was full of disdain in her heart, she was embarrassed to take out this meal and say it, it was obviously done on purpose, and her cheeks were really thick.
"Look, now your mother is gone, and the situation is not good, according to the rules of our Xiliang, you are now fifteen, although you have not yet started a family, but you are also an adult. It's not that the eldest mother is delaying you, since your father had that incident in the Feng family, even the matchmaker Wang didn't want to kiss you, but now there is a family that is willing, do you want to go and see? ”
"I don't know which one the aunt is talking about?"
"The Lin family, who sells tofu in the west of the city, heard that the Lin family's son is quite handsome, and he will inherit the family business in the future, so it is not a grievance against you."
"I don't have to worry about my affairs, it's better for my aunt to give me Jiang's dowry, I will move out to live, and I will talk about the marriage later." Sun Yao already felt extremely unpleasant, this woman was really hateful.
"That is the case, I won't say more, your eldest brother is here today, and several elders of the clan will come over in a while to testify, and the eldest lady will not treat you badly."
"Thank you, I wonder what my dowry is?"
Mrs. Sun glanced at Wen Xuan, he stood up and smiled politely at Sun Yao.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll go and ask a few elders to come over."
Sun Yao nodded, glanced at Rong's mother, Rong's mother looked calm, what Sun Yao wanted was just the insignificant Queshan and her mother's relics, this thing, the Sun family couldn't look down on it at all, but it was embarrassing, and it was up to Sun Yao to deal with it herself. If you can't survive even this little fight, it will be difficult in the future.
Several elders quickly followed Wen Xuan and sat down in the hall in turn, and their own servants brought tea.
Sun Yao also followed Mrs. Sun over and bowed in turn.
Those elders are not young, their beards are all white, and they are said to be the most respected members of the Sun family. Mrs. Sun invited them to come, just to give the outside world a clear proof that even if she was wronged, no one in the whole family would dare to say it, and outsiders would at most be a talking point and add a lot of troubles to herself.
"Now that we're all here, it's not too early, let's start early." A sturdy elder said.
Sun Yao knew this person, and Wen Zheng had mentioned it. This person's name is Sun Hongye, but he is in his fifties, and he assists the Sun family in managing many matters in the distant side, and he is considered a person that Mrs. Sun trusts. It is said that he is ruthless and has a lot of prestige outside the Sun family.
"I won't say more, Sun Yao, I have a plan here, but you better tell us what you think first." Mrs. Sun said enthusiastically.
"I'd like to hear what Big Brother thinks."
Mrs. Sun was stunned, and Wen Xuan was unconsciously stunned.
They did have a plan, but they planned to listen to Sun Yao's own thoughts first. With their understanding of Sun Yao, it is impossible for Sun Yao to open his mouth, and Sun Yao in his memory has always been weak. However, they didn't expect Sun Yao to kick the ball back. No wonder the ancients said that Shibei should be impressed in three days, could it be that Sun Yao has also changed his temperament? I thought it was just for the money, so I had to give it a go. After all, after this village, there is no such shop.
"Since my sister asked me, then I said it directly. Presumably everyone knows that today is different from the past, and now the world is difficult, and our family's store in Jingzhou alone has closed three this year, not to mention other places. To put it mildly, now that the saint is in poor health, the battle for the throne between the crown prince and the six princes is becoming more and more intense, and the other princes are also ready to move, I'm afraid we will have to pull out of Jingzhou within the year, not only that, the situation in other big cities is not optimistic, we still have a big family to raise, it's difficult. ”
Sun Yao looked at Wen Xuan with a smile, ignoring Sun Hongye's approval.
"Sun Yao is a woman, naturally she can't know about military affairs, and she doesn't know about business, Sun Yao only knows that if you want to live, you must have enough silver, otherwise you can only go hungry. It's not that Sun Yao is inconsiderate of the eldest brother, inconsiderate of the Sun family, and asks the eldest brother to think about Sun Yao. ”
"What Yao'er said is also reasonable, she is a woman after all, and now she has no husband to rely on, in the end, she is the daughter of our Sun family, you must not treat her badly and let others laugh."
The one who spoke was an old man with white hair, who was said to have a close relationship with Sun Yao's grandmother, the old lady, but Sun Yao didn't know that he would help him. According to Wen Zheng, this old man's name is Sun Teng, and he followed Sun Yao's grandfather in his early years, and his status in the Sun family is not low. This reassured Sun Yao a lot, smiled at Sun Teng, and expressed his gratitude.
After listening to Sun Teng's words, the scene was silent for a while. Everyone knows that Sun Teng is old and often goes to talk to the old lady, and his meaning naturally reveals the meaning of the old lady, which makes people dare not despise it. Mrs. Sun thought for a while, her face slightly annoyed. And Sun Wenxuan's face was not good-looking, after Sun Teng said this, their plan was all in vain.
"What does the old lady mean—" Mrs. Sun was the first to speak, although the old lady turned a blind eye to many of her practices, she was still jealous, and the old lady's thoughts, she couldn't help but consider them.
"What's the matter with the old lady, this home has been handed over to you, what I said is just my own meaning." Sun Teng said politely.
"In that case, sister, you can mention it yourself, but don't embarrass the eldest brother." Seeing that his mother was deflated, Wen Xuan couldn't help but speak, and Mrs. Sun glared at him fiercely.
"I don't understand what I mean by big brother, although it is our Xiliang's rules, but I haven't married yet, and I haven't had a fiancé, so I've been rushed out by you in a hurry. That's fine, but you offered to give me a share with a dowry, and now let me mention it myself, why do you still embarrass you? To put it mildly, Sister Qi is only ten days younger than me, why didn't she move out? ”
After Sun Yao finished speaking, she unconsciously left tears, and everyone was stunned, Rong Ma blinked, not knowing which one Sun Yao sang.
"Sister, don't cry, Fang is my brother is wrong, it's better for my sister to bring it up directly, anyway, we are one of the three major families in Daming Town, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and I will never wronged my sister."
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she thought badly, but she couldn't say it clearly, so she could only pull Wen Xuan, but Wen Xuan ignored her.
At the beginning, he originally said that he would give Sun Yao something in private, almost fine, but Mrs. Sun had to be justified, thinking that with Sun Yao's temperament, she would definitely not ask for more, but now it is good, it is simply difficult to ride a tiger.
Mrs. Sun saw that Wen Xuan ignored her, and she was helpless, she regretted that she was not too ruthless after all, and she couldn't complain about others, but if Sun Yao really opened her mouth, she would definitely show this old face. Anyway, all of them here are members of the Sun family, and they always have to plan for the Sun family. At the moment, the mind has been decided, if Sun Yao messes around, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Since this is the case, Sun Yao mentioned it herself, I only hope that the elders can fulfill it."
The elders couldn't stop nodding, and Sun Hongye even said something so good, but it was Sun Teng, whose face was grim.
In fact, what they considered was that Sun Yao was a female streamer after all, and she was usually raised in a deep boudoir, so she didn't know the Sun family's property at all, let alone how much she should share, so Sun Yao was destined to suffer.
They all ignored that people change, not to mention, Sun Yao has changed at all!
