Outside the ancestral hall, there was only a brightly dressed girl rubbing her hands and walking around outside the door, Su Xiujin recognized that it was Zhang Shuqin's personal maid Lu Yi, so she stepped forward and asked, "Lu Yi, why are you guarding it personally?" ”

Lu Yi is a delicate and clear person, this time when she saw Su Xiujin guessing a seven, seven, eighty, eight, or eight, she smiled and said: "Madame personally ordered it, let others guard it, the fifth girl's body has been delicate since she was a child, and she has to let the slave maid watch it all the time." ”

Lu Yi gave Su Xiujin the next step, and Su Xiujin said: "It's also the fifth sister who was blindfolded for a while, the weather is cold, and you don't have a little girl waiting here, let's go eat some wine for the time being to warm up your body." As he spoke, he took a jade bracelet from his wrist and quietly stuffed it to Lu Yi.

Lu Yimei smiled: "If the fifth girl knows that the sixth girl has come to see her, she will be happy in her heart, but I am afraid that she will figure it out in a while." After taking the jade bracelet, he flashed and went to the side room.

Su Xiujin secretly sighed that the dowry was missing another piece, but she also praised the smooth accident of the green yi.

The door creaked open, and Su Xiujin flashed in. I saw Su Xiuli kneeling with her back to her, and there was a solemn Buddha statue on it. In the solemn ancestral hall of the Su family, women are naturally not allowed to enter, and Su Xiuli is still a concubine.

"Fifth sister."

Su Xiuli turned around, her hair bun had been tidied up, and the clothes on her body were still in place, only her two red and swollen eyes were still filled with tears.

"Jin'er." Su Xiuli said in surprise.

Su Xiujin stepped forward to help Su Xiuli and said, "I've been kneeling for so long, and I haven't eaten at night." ”

He took out the pastry wrapped in a handkerchief from his bosom.

"Let's do it first." As he spoke, he handed it to Su Xiuli.

Su Xiuli looked at the slightly cold pastry in Su Xiujin's hand, and then looked at the red mark on Su Xiujin's face, and choked for a while.

"Jin'er, I treat you like this, and you still treat me like this."

Su Xiujin said with a smile: "Fifth sister, don't say that, they are all sisters of their own family." ”

Su Xiuli was hungry and hadn't eaten for almost a day. took the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, Su Xiujin wiped the crumbs from her mouth for her, Su Xiuli's tears fell down, and she cried in Su Xiujin's arms after a while.

"I never thought about competing with my sister for anything, but the whole house knows my brother, and now I have to marry Kansai, and my sister wants to live with my Ruyi Langjun, which makes me swallow this breath."

Su Xiujin calmed her down: "Actually, it's not true, if you complain about the fourth sister for this, then you are really innocent!" ”

Su Xiuli raised her head: "If it weren't for her, how could I be so fielded." ”

"The matter of marriage, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." Su Xiujin said that, after being silent for a long time, Su Xiuli stopped crying, and only lowered her head with a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Seeing that she understood something, Su Xiujin said again: "And I think that this may not be a good marriage." ”

Su Xiuli looked at her.

"If you marry far away, you can stay away from the Su family, the Wu family in the grain shop has a simple population, only a little uncle, a widowed mother, since the widow lost her husband, she supported the two brothers, and now the Wu family is well organized, do you know that this marriage is still begged by Wu's mother, if you marry in the past, you only need to serve your mother-in-law well, and life will still be prosperous. Second, how do you know that Wu Shaodong's family is not a good person? Xiaomei felt that even though he was disabled, he supported the Wu family with all his might, and now who doesn't know Wu Ji in Kansai? He must be capable. There's one more thing I've heard today. ”

Su Xiuli also seemed to listen and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Wu Ji once collapsed because of the death of the big boss. The two young masters of the Wu family are both scholars, especially the eldest young master Wu, who was once the youngest child in Kansai. ”

Su Xiuli has been around all her life, and the merchant family naturally has some natural respect for scholars.

For the sake of his ancestral business, and for the sake of his younger brother, Young Master Wu naturally gave up studying and supported a huge Wu family. It's a pity that the business road is so easy to walk, and it is difficult to do the rice merchant in Kansai, so he supported himself and broke a way in Kansai. In the famine in Zhongnan that year, it was he who took the lead in donating a large amount of money and grain. ”

In his previous life, Su Xiujin once supported merchants, but because she touched the interests of many officials, she was called a demon concubine by the officials. And in that famine, she remembered the disabled young master of the Wu family, admired it in her heart, but she didn't have a chance.

"Fifth sister, even if he is inconvenient, he can really be called a good man!"

Su Xiuli was silent, turned around, tears flowed down her eyes, but she lost her original grievances.

There were a few soft knocks outside the window, and someone was photocopied on the window lattice, and the green yi returned.

Su Xiujin got up and said, "The fifth sister doesn't complain about this anymore. ”

Su Xiuli turned her head and said, "She hasn't even looked at me!" ”

Su Xiujin's face was a little fierce: "Why doesn't the fifth sister know that the fourth sister hasn't worried about you?" Besides, now this marriage is the mother of my cousin's personal request, it is not the fourth sister Baba who robbed your husband! ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Xiuli raised her head violently: "What did you say?!" ”

"I passed by the courtyard of the fourth sister, the fourth sister has not rested so late, asked the girl, only to say that the fourth sister is now rummaging through the cabinets, and even the rouge has taken out dozens of boxes, saying that it is cold in Kansai, without rouge, the fifth sister must not want to go out to meet people. Do you still remember the fourth sister's favorite set of gold and ruby heads, usually reluctant to touch more, but now I want to add you an extra dowry. ”

Su Xiuli covered her face and said, "What you said is not true, she has everything-"

Su Xiujin said before going out: "Fifth sister, you still have to fight for some." ”

At least not so wolf-bèi.

Three years ago, Liang Jinxiu occupied Su Xiujin's body, the world was hot and cold, she had seen a lot, only the two sisters of the Su family were still good to the predecessor Su Xiujin, when she was hungry and cold, Su Xiuli gave her a few old clothes, and when she was bullied by others, Su Xiuyuan helped to say a few words, these little things, Su Xiujin helped to remember.

In the snowy field, Su Xiujin looked at the bright moon in the distance.

"Let's just repay the favor." Su Xiujin said.

Early the next morning, Su Xiuli was helped back by the maid mother-in-law, and Su Xiujin, who had just opened the door, saw the weak Su Xiuli smiling at her, and a stone fell to the ground in her heart.

Su Xiujin went to sit in Su Xiuyuan's courtyard, and according to the plan, the girls who were married had to concentrate on making wedding dresses in the courtyard, and even their parents and brothers were not allowed to see each other. The merchants are more relaxed about these, Su Xiuyuan doesn't like needlework and embroidery, the Su family specially invited the maid who does needlework to help, Su Xiuyuan sat in the courtyard drinking tea and was stunned.

Su Xiujin entered the courtyard gate, and Su Xiuyuan put down the cup and squeezed out a smile: "Jin'er is here." ”

Su Xiujin told her some things about Su Xiuli, especially that Su Xiuli seemed to have figured it out, and Su Xiuyuan missed some smiles on her face.

Speaking of details, Su Xiujin frowned and suddenly fell silent.

Su Xiuyuan asked, "What's the matter, Jin'er?" ”

Su Xiujin took Su Xiuyuan's hand and asked, "Is there a way for my sister to get the fifth sister's dowry list?" ”

"Dowry list? What are you going to do? Su Xiuyuan was puzzled.

Su Xiujin didn't explain, and said: "If my sister can get it, I must also confirm that my sister's worries are all hearty." ”

Su Xiuyuan frowned, and hurriedly called a personal maid to give one or two, and in the afternoon, a hand-copied list was placed in front of Su and the others.

Su Xiujin took a closer look, frowned and said, "Mother is really not so generous. ”

Su Xiuyuan hurriedly took a look, and his face slowly became angry: "It's too much to deceive people!" ”

It seems that the dowry on that list is rich, in addition to the clothes and jewelry, the most important shop is to give two, but Su Xiuyuan, who is familiar with the Su family, doesn't understand that they are all loss-making shops, even if they are sold, they have to pay off a lot of debts, this is not a dowry at all, but an absolutely hot potato!
