Chapter 153: Conspiracy

On the carriage back to the Foshou Lake Courtyard, Xiusun shrank in the old lady's arms and hugged the old lady's waist tightly, and did not let go of the carriage even if it was bumpy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old lady smiled and patted Xiusun on the back, "Grandmother can't run again, why are you holding so tightly." ”

Xiusun arched into the old lady's arms again, but did not look up.

The old lady chose to keep her, but left Xiuqian in the old house in Jiangpu, the old lady was partial after all, she was extremely lucky, in the old lady's heart, she was more important than many things.

Suddenly, some unknown emotions were surging in my heart, very willful, very selfish, very happy, very guilty.

The old lady seemed to understand what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't feel guilty, staying in the old mansion of Jiangpu Lao is good for Xiuqian." ”

Xiusun hid in the old lady's arms and did not move.

She understands that Xiuqian stayed in the old mansion in Jiangpu, and the second old lady was under her knees, so she would naturally marry better in the future, their father was just a showman, and his reputation would not help her as a concubine.

Before making a decision, people will always find a lot of excuses for themselves, this is the old lady's excuse, which is also good for Xiuqian, so Xiuqian replaced her, Xiusun was in a complicated mood, but more moved, the old lady even ignored the future of the Buddha Hand Lake Courtyard, and was unwilling to send her to please the small second room.

The old lady smiled and pulled Xiusun's little head out of her arms and helped her cut her hair, "If the second old lady hadn't told me about this before, maybe I would have left you in the small second room for a while, and there would be no harm, but he was so persistent, it couldn't help but make me wonder, what did he want to keep you by his side, I'm afraid it's not as simple as finding someone to let you marry." ”

When Xiusun heard this, she was extremely surprised, "The second old lady mentioned it to her grandmother before?" ”

Thinking of her grandmother's reluctance to go to the old mansion in Jiangpu this morning, Xiusun seemed to have found the answer.

The old lady nodded, "You told me a few days ago that I refused, I thought about your marriage or I looked at it more relieved, you were raised by me and your mother's baby, but I can't bear to let you go to that high-ranking family to be wronged." ”

The old lady recalled, "The second old lady pretended to ask the second old lady to mention this matter in front of me, and I felt that this matter was strange at that time. ”

It turned out that the second old lady raised this matter three times and twice, which made the old lady suspicious.

The old lady continued, "This morning, I suddenly remembered this matter again, and I suspected that the second old lady might take advantage of this family banquet to mention it again, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”

Xiusun nodded, but stopped again, she was puzzled, "No, grandmother, if the second old lady is determined to win, he will definitely ask the second old lady to force you to comply, but today the second old lady only asked a few random questions, and then went down the ladder." ”

If it weren't for the two words of the eldest old lady today, maybe the second old lady would have stopped a long time ago, how could the second old lady give up the second old lady's entrustment so easily? Their husband and wife have always cooperated tacitly.

"I'm also quite strange, I thought about refusing again, if I really can't shirk it, I will leave you in the old mansion in Jiangpu first, and then find a chance to take you back after a while, but I didn't expect the second old lady to give up like this."

Xiusun suddenly remembered the sound of chopsticks falling and hitting the edge of the plate, and the second old lady seemed to have changed her mind immediately after that, so it couldn't be a code.

"Well, I don't know." The old lady shook her head helplessly.

In fact, the old lady wondered in her heart, their Chu family is not a huge family, and there has been a cabinet elder in the total, and he will become a master not long after he is still in power.

In terms of family power, the real family has that if you want to envelop others, the daughter of the marriage must have a place in the in-law's family, although it is enough for the mother-in-law to like it in the mother-in-law's family, but the mother-in-law is going to go after all, and she will still rely on her husband and son in the future.

Xiusun is good at everything, but he owes some heat in his appearance, if the second old lady is ready to press the treasure on Xiusun, he owes some security, this is not the style of the second old lady.

Desperate bets have never been the style of the second old lady.

The second old lady was a little old, not as good as when he was young, he drank some sobering soup by the maid, and sat in the rocking chair in the study for a long time to close his eyes and recuperate, and then he was much more comfortable.

In the empty study, an elegant and calm voice sounded, "The little girl refuses to come?" ”

The second old lady didn't seem surprised, the instep of the soft shoes bowed, and the pedal was pushed hard, Xiangfeizhu's rocking chair slowly shook, his squinted eyes never opened, as if he had expected it a long time ago, "Yes, you don't know that my younger brother and sister love this granddaughter, even the new grandson is aside." ”

A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar in blue walked out of the room and raised his hand to lift the hanging half-cut amber crystal bead curtain.

"Not necessarily." The middle-aged man said with a smile, his white and beardless elegant face revealed, and the bright glow of dusk shone into the room from nowhere, dyeing his skin a layer of gold.

"Are you afraid that little girl will be cold, so you don't dare to rush into force." This person is not a living person, it is Gonggong Xiao who often comes to visit the second old lady.

Naturally, such a visit does not have to be known every time.

He slowly paced to the Luohan bed opposite the second old lady with his hands behind his back and poured himself a cup of tea.

When the second old lady heard this, she didn't hide it, she nodded with a smile, "This person, it's still good to be concerned." ”

Gonggong Xiao brought the box he was holding in his hand to the front, this was the box he gave to Xiusun in Jinling a few days ago, gently lifted the lid of the box, and slowly pulled out a strand of hair from the golden hinge, which was the one Xiusun found at that time.

The second old lady half-opened his eyes and saw that Gonggong Xiao studying that hair, and closed his eyes with a smile, and said, "You can conclude that she can be a big person based on this hair?" ”

"Smack." Gonggong Xiao closed the box decisively and threw it on the kang table, which didn't seem to be a precious thing.

"Let's try to make up all the girls in the Chu family one by one, and she found this hair, and carefully put it back, I said, it's only because there are too few girls in your family, there is really nothing to pick."

The second old lady thought of this and sighed deeply, of course he knew, otherwise he wouldn't have had to get two girls from Lanling's hometown some time ago.

God knows how much he envies those big families, there are dozens of girls in a generation, and there are many varieties, and you can choose.

Seeing the second old lady's decadent expression, Gonggong Xiao didn't bother to comfort him, his posture was elegant, and he took two sips of tea, "No one is coming, what are you going to do?" ”

This time, the second old lady said calmly, "Living so close, I don't have to worry about not having a chance, that girl is affectionate and righteous, isn't there still a big family in the fourth room?" ”

Grandpa Xiao listened and nodded approvingly. (To be continued.) )
