Chapter 25 Transactions
Su Shaoqing didn't want to argue with Bai Shizhong on that issue, she just nodded slightly, and quickly changed the topic: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Qian family is about to come back from the capital, right?" What's going on there? Are you all set up? ā
"Everything is as Miss expected, the Xue family originally looked down on the Qian family, thinking that the Qian family was just an upstart, and naturally did not want to see Qian Lirong, although she proposed to go back to her parents' house to live this time, but it seemed to be similar to being Hughed back to her parents' house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIt's just that she came back with her son, but I'm afraid that the Xue family won't let go so easily, after all, it's still the flesh and blood of the Xue family. Bai Shizhong said slowly.
"But the Xue family's attitude towards the eldest son of the Xue family is also very strange, in my opinion, I am afraid that he has already become a burden to the Xue family, right? Qian Lirong's life was not so good. I've seen her before. A faint smile appeared on Su Shaoqing's face, she saw Bai Shizhong's expression a little surprised, and hurriedly nodded her head and said, "Looking at her days in the Xue family, at least it is not as beautiful as the rumors." ā
There was a relaxed expression between Su Shaoqing's eyebrows, she still remembered that it was the spring of March, when everyone was going out, and Qian Lirong also took her family to go out with everyone. Her ailing husband was crooked in the carriage, and from time to time there were a few violent coughs. Qian Lirong's face was full of sorrow, and her eyes kept turning with everyone, but she had to stay by the carriage and serve her husband carefully.
I'm afraid that people who are far away in Luoyang can't help but let out a few praises when they mention the eldest lady of the Qian family, right? Not only because she was born in the Qian family, but also because Mrs. Meng personally chose a family with a very good family background for her: the Xue family. The Xue family is a family, and their ancestors used to be high-ranking officials in the court, even in their generation, they still have endless money to eat. Although few descendants of the Xue family can be high-ranking officials, relying on the glory of their ancestors, their lives are still quite good, and there are not a few people who want to get close to them. But it wasn't until he saw the Xue Gongzi who had been sick and crooked with his own eyes that Su Shaoqing understood that those rumors came more from admiration for the Xue family.
Qian Lirong's expression at that time was haggard, although she was wearing gorgeous clothes, gold and silver jewelry and rare jade, but in any case, she was not happy, she always focused on those young people, but in exchange for a slap from her mother-in-law. Her husband, who seemed to be unable to catch his breath, even kicked her off the carriage at the instigation of his mother.
Su Shaoqing inadvertently saw Qian Lirong with a haggard look by the river, when she was in a daze at a cluster of brightly blooming moon seasons. Su Shaoqing hurriedly reminded her: "This young lady...... You'd better stay away from those flowers...... If you smell the fragrance of those flowers for a long time, I'm afraid it will make people's bodies uncomfortable......"
"Such a beautiful flower...... Will it also be toxic? Qian Lirong just glanced at Su Shaoqing, and said slowly: "Are you mistaken?" Isn't this kind of flower also grown at home? How can it be poisonous? Although this flower is not as beautiful as a peony, it has a different taste, does it? ā
"Although the flowers are beautiful, they are not necessarily suitable for close play. Although this flower is beautiful, some people ...... For example, people who are not in good health, especially those with a stuffy chest, will have difficulty breathing, chest discomfort, and may even suffocate after smelling it. So I advise Madame to stay away from it, there is no need to use your own body to try if this flower is really suitable for you, isn't it? Su Shaoqing had a faint smile on his face.
Qian Lirong's expression was very strange at that time, she glanced at the masked Su Shaoqing, and continued to ask, "What are you talking about...... Is it all true? Who are you? ā
"I'm just passing by here, and I've been harmed by these flowers, so I can't help but remind Miss." Su Shaoqing continued, "I have lived in the south since I was a child, so I know more or less about flowers. Have you ever seen the azaleas in the south? ā
"Yes, when I went to Jiangnan when I was a child, I saw a lot of azaleas." Qian Lirong was completely attracted by what Su Shaoqing said, and replied naturally.
"That's right, when spring comes, there will be rhododendrons blooming all over the mountains. But it is such a beautiful azalea, but it is highly poisonous, the most poisonous is the yellow azalea, and after drinking it, it will kill instantly. Su Shaoqing continued, she bowed to the eldest lady of the Qian family and said, "All the young ladies should stay away from these things anyway to avoid possible harm." ā
At that time, Qian Lirong seemed to have a lot of questions to ask, but was interrupted by Yahuan, who rushed here, according to the Yahuan, it was because the young master of the Xue family was unwell and needed to see him immediately. Qian Lirong didn't even bother to say goodbye to Su Shaoqing, so she hurriedly ran over. After that, Su Shaoqing heard a loud slap and the voice of Old Madam Xue's reprimand.
"It was an unhappy couple." Su Shaoqing's face raised a faint sadness and said: "Mrs. Meng is indeed a very calculating person, and she did choose a good family for her daughter, but I don't quite understand, why would she choose a young man Qian who was born weak?" The son of the Xue family will die of illness, which is obviously expected, right? ā
"If it weren't for the Qian family's fall in love with the Xue family's family situation, how could they marry their daughter to Xue Gongzi, who was born with tuberculosis?" A disdainful expression flashed on Bai Shizhong's face and said, "But at that time, I heard that something seemed to have happened to the Qian family, so I had to agree to such a family matter." It is said that when they got married, the Qian family also gave their daughter a very generous dowry, in order to hope that their daughter would have a good life, right? ā
"Although seven or eight years have passed, the scenery of the eldest lady of the Qian family when she got married is still mentioned from time to time. At that time, the person who greeted him looked handsome and chic, but he was not the eldest son of the Xue family that Qian Lirong was going to marry, but her brother-in-law. I'm afraid that kind of arrangement is also to take care of the Xue family's face, right? After all, it's so far away from the capital. There was a wry smile on Bai Shizhong's face.
It's just that no one expected that such a good-sounding family affair would be a naked transaction. The Qian family has caught up with the happiness of their daughter's later life, and the early death of their son-in-law may be worse in their eyes. Now that the eldest lady of the Qian family has returned from the capital, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of turmoil, right?
