Chapter 4: Temptation
Su Xiujin said: "The ancestor is too worried, and the granddaughter doesn't mean this. β
Mrs. Su glanced at Su Xiujin mysteriously, saw that her clothes were blown away by the wind, and raised her hand to help her close: "It's naturally annoying to be smart, but it's just very smart but it hides it, but it makes people even more uneasy." β
Su Xiujin took a small step back, the old lady in front of her, who has been in the mall for a long time, has a vision and scheming that ordinary people can't match.
Mrs. Su suddenly smiled: "Xiujin is thirteen this year." β
Su Xiujin nodded and said, "Yes, it will be thirteen after the New Year." β
"It's January, and there was still light snow when you were born, and it was a snow that Suzhou hadn't seen for many years." Mrs. Su looked out of the corridor, the light snow was blowing, and a small snow blanket was spread on the ground, and there were children piling up snowmen in the distance, followed by a maid holding a soup woman, "At that time, I was doing a brocade business, and your father didn't care if he looked at another girl, let me choose a name at will." I looked at the splendid silk in my hand and said, 'The merchant family can't wear silk, only yarn and cotton and linen, but this girl was born and there was a snowfall, and the sky was auspicious, so let's call it Xiujin.' ββ
Su Xiujin said: "I didn't know that my granddaughter's name was taken by my ancestors, and there is this meaning. β
Mrs. Su continued: "When I was a child, I had high hopes for you, your mother was just a child, she was used to being a slave, she raised her aunt, she was low and small everywhere, and she was bullied with you. β
Su Xiujin stared at a ball of snow on the corridor and said: "Cowardice can sometimes be a blessing, the mechanism is exhausted, what if you are high, in the end it will be nothing." β
Mrs. Su thought that Su Xiujin was talking about her, so she didn't say anything, but said: "It's just that you changed later, three years ago, suddenly it was not just the girl behind your mother, but she would stand up, I still remember that there was a girl who was used to being big, deducting your mother and daughter's food, and you deliberately poured hot water on her hands on the front foot, and the news of your poisoning came from the back foot." I thought that girl was really so vicious, she dared to poison her master for a cup of hot water, and sold her. It's just that lately, guess what-"
Su Xiujin raised her head and asked, "How?" β
"Someone saw that you ate two kinds of food in advance, in order to blame that girl, you were willing to be ruthless, and even you were willing to do it yourself." Old Lady Su suddenly stopped and looked at Su Xiujin.
Su Xiujin's heart was cold, he thought he was secretive about this back then, but he didn't expect anyone to see it. Back then, the girl deceived people too much, she and her aunt had no one to rely on, and her own young lady was also dispensable, she tolerated the girl many times, but she intensified until she looked at the less than half a bowl of rice in her aunt's bowl, she couldn't bear it, and the only capital in her hand was just her own life.
"The granddaughter doesn't know all these things that the ancestor said." Su Xiujin raised her head, "My granddaughter was still young back then, and I didn't know it at all, but she had a serious illness, and the maid was betrayed for a crime, and her granddaughter was sad for a long time." β
Old Mrs. Su wanted to see some clues from Su Xiujin's face, but Su Xiujin lowered her eyelids slightly, as if she really didn't know at all.
Winter is coming, Suzhou is like spring all year round, but this year there is a thin snow, and a slight chill envelops Mrs. Su and Su Xiujin.
"That's it." Mrs. Su said, "Let's just think that my old lady said a few more faint words." β
Su Xiujin lowered her eyelids and helped Mrs. Su to the hall. Walking to the corner, Mrs. Su patted her hand and said, "Go, young girl who loves to play, go find your little sister." β
Su Xiujin thanked him, and when he saw Grandma Zhou coming, he also walked to the side hall.
After Su Xiujin's figure disappeared into the side hall, Mrs. Su said behind her, "Boy, you can come out too." β
A person walked out from the corner, a cyan brocade robe, and a jasper forehead, which lined this person's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary. Instead, a thin amorous pink lip begged: "Ancestor, you can spare me." β
The young man is not an outsider, but he is the only son of Zhang Shuqin's sister, and his father also has some connections with the Su family, so he also lived in the Su family for some time when he was young, and has an extraordinary relationship with several sisters and brothers of the Su family.
Mrs. Su asked, "Did you hear what you said just now?" β
Chu Zhengse put away the folding fan: "The old lady didn't believe it?" β
"I believe the things you have told me." Mrs. Su said: "It's just that she made me believe too much, but now I think about it but I don't believe it." β
Chu asked rhetorically: "The old ancestor believes in me instead!" Prodigal, don't believe in your own granddaughter? β
Mrs. Su took the soup woman in Grandma Zhou's hand, and she didn't use it for many years, and it was inconvenient to use the soup woman in the warm Suzhou.
"Zhou Er, what do you think of the sixth girl?" Mrs. Su asked Grandma Zhou.
Grandma Zhou smiled: "The sixth girl usually doesn't like to talk much, but she is also a good girl who understands etiquette and knows proportions." β
Chu Dao: "Grandma, that's it?" β
Grandma Zhou's smile was a little unfathomable: "Speaking of etiquette, she has never made a mistake in the past three years, knows how to be balanced, no matter how big or small things she has done in the past three years, she has always understood how to make herself impartial." As for the rest, in the past three years, no one has ever complained against her. β
Not resenting is a sentence that Su Xiujin has said to himself all the time since he was reborn. Su Xiujin entered the side hall, and didn't know how to tell Su Xiuli about it, but she was entangled, but she saw Su Xiuli running out of the side hall with her face covered with a handkerchief, followed by Su Xiuyuan with an anxious face.
"Fourth sister?" Su Xiujin shouted.
Su Xiuyuan hurriedly turned around and said, "Xiujin, help me chase after Xiuli." β
Su Xiujin's head was a little entangled for a while, if she helped chase her, Su Xiuli, who was just on her sad head, would definitely sprinkle fire on them, it was best not to chase, but before she thought about it, her legs ran out first.
Su Xiuyuan and Su Xiujin searched for a long time before they found Su Xiuli hiding her face and crying behind the rockery.
Su Xiuyuan and Su Xiujin glanced at each other, and Su Xiuyuan said: "Xiuli, my father has not made a decision on this matter, and there is still a chance to redeem it-"
"Shut up!" Su Xiuli turned her head violently, and the rouge on her face became a ball: "Don't you come to pretend to look at my jokes!" β
Su Xiujin squatted down: "Fifth sister, isn't the young owner of the grain shop a good choice, you-"
For Su Xiujin, even if the person is disabled, but the family is big and the family is simple, it is a good destination for the naΓ―ve Su Xiuli.
Before she could finish speaking, a cloud of snow and the cold wind exploded on her face.
was accompanied by Su Xiuli's scream: "Then why don't you marry me!" You go marry that cripple! β
Su Xiuyuan shouted: "Xiuli, what are you doing!" β
The snow slag was scattered on Su Xiujin's hair bun and clothes, and the melted snow water flowed down her neck, which was bitterly cold.
