30. Reap the consequences

The old lady was already ready to rest, and when she heard the rumor from her subordinates, she had to sit up from the bed and go to the hall to receive Wu Er.

Wu Er stood in the middle of the hall, took Su Lingrong's handkerchief and handed it to the old lady, saying that he was in love with the four girls in your mansion and made a private lifelong commitment, hoping that the old lady could fulfill the two of them. When the old lady saw that Su Lingrong's small characters were really embroidered on the handkerchief, she rolled her eyes with anger, and she was out of breath at that time.

Mama Li hurriedly invited Dr. Hao over.

Doctor Hao had just pinched the old lady and rescued her, and the people in the big, second, and third rooms also rushed to hear the news.

As soon as Su Lingrong saw Wu Dao, she knew that something was wrong, and then saw that he was holding his own handkerchief in his hand, his face turned even pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word: "You, you disciple!" Why do you have my handkerchief in your hand? Who gave it to you? ”

Wu Dao smiled, folded the handkerchief and stuffed it back into the placket, and said, "Did the fourth girl forget?" This handkerchief was given to me when you saw me today, and you asked the maid to bring me a message, why did you forget it so quickly? ”

Su Lingrong said sharply: "Nonsense, when did I give you a handkerchief?" Don't tarnish my innocence, come ...... Quick, get him out of here. ”

Wu Dao stood quite steady, and said: "The fourth girl turned her face and didn't recognize anyone in a blink of an eye, which really hurt Wu's heart." When the four girls came to me today, didn't they give me this handkerchief and ask me to help you do something? It's just that the ninth girl is too young, Wu doesn't have that kind of fetish, in comparison, the fourth girl is more compatible with Wu, this handkerchief is regarded as a love object for the two of us, and another day ......"

Su Lingrong couldn't listen to it anymore, raised her hand and slapped him with a "snap", gritted her teeth and said, "You, you shut up for me." ”

The old lady had already understood what she said, looked at Su Lingrong in disbelief, and said with trembling hands: "Sister Rong, what he said is true?" You, you want him...... He ...... with Sister Xi'er", and the second half of the sentence couldn't go on.

Su Lingrong shook her head in a panic and denied: "No, old ancestor, he slandered me, I clearly don't know him......"

Wu Dao was slapped and gritted his teeth silently, if it weren't for being threatened by Wei Feng, the prince of the King of Qi, he would not be willing to wade into this troubled water. The handkerchief was indeed not given to him by Su Lingrong, Su Lingrong was not stupid enough to be so stupid, he took it when she was not paying attention, and at that time he was just thinking about stealing a handkerchief, and he could take it out to play with it in the future, but he would have thought that it would come in handy at this time. Who still has those charming thoughts at the moment, if he really marries Su Lingrong home, he will not be able to spare this mother-in-law, and he will be hurt a lot.

I thought it was a Wushan **, but who knew that the boat capsized in the gutter, but it made myself fishy.

Wu Dao grinned and said, "Is it slander, call the maid next to the fourth girl and ask." What's that maid's name, fan? Hey, I have a good memory. ”

The old lady slammed the pestle floor with a moire cane, and said angrily: "Sister Rong! ”

Su Lingrong panicked in her heart, knowing that she was speechless this time, she held her hand in her hand, but she couldn't speak.

Guo Shi saw that his daughter had made a big mistake, so he hurriedly "pounced" and knelt on the ground to plead with the old lady: "Mother, Sister Rong is young and ignorant, so you can spare her this time...... In the future, I will definitely discipline her well, Sister Rong, come here, admit your mistake to the ancestor, and ask the ancestor to be gracious. ”

Guo Shi tugged his daughter's hand, but when he saw her wooden, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Sister Rong!" ”

"Young?" Yin Shi smiled coldly, his eyes cut on Guo's body like a knife, and accused mercilessly: "She is already fifteen years old, three years older than Youyou, how can she be called young?" She is the fourth sister of the young child, and she doesn't have the kindness and generosity that a sister should have on weekdays, and she still opposes the young everywhere, but she is just a concubine, and she doesn't weigh her own weight? In the past, I could turn a blind eye, but this matter can't, Sister Rong wants to harm the young, this matter must not be good. ”

This is the first time that the Yin family has pointed out Su Lingrong's identity, in the past, he was taking care of the family's face, but today he is ruthless, even if he tears his face, he can't let his daughter suffer this kind of grievance in vain.

Guo's heart "groaned", and he looked at the old lady for help.

The old lady pinched her crutches, seeing Guo kneeling in front of her but indifferent, she must have agreed with Yin's words. "Sister Rong has gone too far in this matter, the person you can't live with is not me, and it's useless to plead with me."

The implication is to look at the big house.

Guo Shi looked at Yin, even if he was unconvinced before, he could only bow to her at this time, "Sister-in-law......"

As soon as he was halfway through the words, the Yin family looked away and said coldly: "Sister Rong has a private agreement with the second son of the Hou Mansion of Qing'an, not to mention her own reputation, for the sake of the reputation of the other girls in the mansion, I will go to the Hou Mansion of Qing'an tomorrow to discuss her relationship with the second son of Wu." ”

At this time, Su Lingrong finally had another expression on her face, and shook her head in a panic, "No...... I don't marry ......"

She still remembered that Wu Dao and his fourth brother played with the maid together, what kind of good match could a person who did that kind of pickled thing? If you marry him, won't you ruin your whole life? Su Lingrong shook her head and said, "Auntie, I won't marry, I won't marry him." ”

Yin's face did not change, and he said coldly: "When you want to harm Sister Xi'er, why don't you want to think that I am your eldest aunt?" When has Dafang treated you harshly over the years, and where can Sister Xi not be able to stand you? You want to do this to her? To put it mildly, you want to compete with Sister Xi everywhere, but in my eyes, you are not even qualified to compare with Sister Xi. ”

When Su Lingrong heard this, her face turned pale for a while, and it was the first time she was hit with such mean words, and she almost couldn't stand.

Yin's final word, he didn't want to look at the people in the second room anymore, "This matter is so decided, you all disperse." After instructing his subordinates to send Wu Er from the Hou Mansion of Qing'an back, he said: "From tomorrow onwards, Sister Rong will go to the ancestral hall to punish her kneel, and she is not allowed to fall the day before she gets married, think about your mistakes, and when you get married, you will be laughed at for not being able to raise girls in the Hou Mansion of Qing'an." ”

Su Lingrong shook her head vigorously, quite desperate: "I won't marry, auntie, I don't want to marry him......"

Wu Dao walked a few steps away, turned around and looked at the hall, and saw a little girl in snow-blue clothes standing behind Yin's behind the rosewood inlaid luodian screen. Wu Dao looked at the girl's face, and his eyes were so straight that he almost forgot how to walk. He thinks that he has played with many women, and there are many people in the upper echelons, but none of them hook his soul at a glance like this.

It's really the skin that is better than the snow, and the flowers look like the moon.

Thinking that he had missed such a little beauty, Wu Dao regretted that his intestines were blue. Compared to this Nine Girls, what is Su Lingrong?

*

The next day, the Yin family did what he said, and really invited the matchmaker to go to the Qing'an Hou Mansion to discuss relatives.

Qing'anhou and his wife were originally worried about the marriage of their second son, but now they heard that Wu Er had ruined the reputation of the four girls of the Su family, so they naturally agreed to this family affair without saying a word. The two families directly skipped the two ceremonies of Nacai and asking for names, looked at the eight characters of Wu Er and Su Lingrong together, and sent the dowry to General Su's mansion within a few days.

Su Lingrong just cried and her eyes were useless.

The maid color fan who sent a message to Su Xi that day was naturally punished, and was fined twenty boards by Mama Li, who was next to the old lady, and sent out of the house the next day. As for the fourth master in the second room, Su Yi...... He couldn't escape from this matter, Wu Dao was found by him from outside, and the second master Su Yang drove him out of the house in a fit of anger, and he also had to cut off the father-son relationship with him and remove him from the Su family's genealogy.

When the second lady Guo learned about it, she closed her eyes and fainted. The daughter married into the Qing'an Hou Mansion in a daze, if the son is gone, what is the point of her living?

The second room is in dire straits, but Su Xi still goes to Qingshui Mountain every two days to learn the piano from Mr. Gu.

Today, Mr. Gu finally taught her something else, and stopped letting her play "Immortal Weng Cao" repeatedly. Playing and playing, Mr. Gu went to the hall to meet the guests again, and Su Xi practiced alone in the house for a while.

Counting this time, Mr. Gu's friends have been here three times, but Su Xi has never seen them once. I don't know if it's the same person as last time, she was playing while thinking wildly, and accidentally plucked the wrong string, only to hear the sound of "Zheng", and the string broke from the fly's head. She hurriedly withdrew her hand, her right index finger still cut by the string.

Su Xi sighed softly, put his finger in his mouth and sucked it, and then went to the hall to find Mr. Gu with the qin.

Su Xi came to the door of the hall and was about to knock on the door, but the carved mallet fan was pushed away from the inside by a pair of slender hands. She thought it was Mr. Gu Tong, and opened her mouth and said: "Sir, the strings are broken, I ......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly slammed after seeing the face in front of her, and said in astonishment: "Cousin Tingzhou, why are you here?" ”

Wei Feng walked out of the door, wearing a navy blue embroidered honeysuckle brocade robe, which was a little cooler today, and a black fur cloak was covered outside, which made him even more cold and noble, and his face was like a crown of jade. His eyes drooped and fell on Su Xi's little face with pink makeup, as if he was not surprised that Mr. Gu's new disciple was her, and he only said, "Come and play chess with Mr. Gu." ”

Su Xi looked into the room and saw Mr. Gu Tong sitting behind the chessboard, one hand supporting his forehead, and the other holding a chess piece, obviously asleep with his eyes closed. Only then did she know that Mr. Gu's friend was Wei Shizi, and since Mr. was asleep, she couldn't bother, so she thoughtfully closed the fan and said, "Is the relationship between Cousin Tingzhou and Mr. very good?" You've been there for the first few times? ”

Wei Feng bowed his head, and saw a drop of blood leaking out of the tip of the index finger of her right hand holding Qin, frowned slightly and said, "Why is your finger injured?" ”

Su Xi looked down and said, "Oh", "The string was broken and accidentally scratched, I'll just let the maid take some medicine when I go back." After saying that, I was thinking about changing the strings, and I don't know if the boy guarding the door will change it......

Just thinking about it, Wei Feng reached out and took her piano, walked to the stone table under the paulownia tree in the courtyard, put the piano on it, and said to her, "Come here." ”

Su Xi walked over for some reason, blinking, what is Wei Feng doing with her piano? Could it be that you want to help her fix it?

Wei Feng said: "Hands stretched out." ”

Su Xi slowly stretched out his hand and spread it in front of him, the white and tender palms, the fingers were slender, like the new spring onion and tender bamboo shoots, fragile and delicate as if they were broken. However, the palm of his hand is also small, and when he rested it in his hand last time, he could wrap it all with one hand.

After half a ring, Wei Feng said in a deep voice: "Right hand." ”

Su Xi obediently changed her right hand, and saw Wei Feng take out a sweat towel, wipe the blood stains on her fingertips, and take out a small blue glazed porcelain bottle from her sleeve, pour out some white ointment and apply it to her fingers. Finally, he gently rubbed it with his thumb, rubbed the ointment open, raised his eyes, and said, "Have I run out of ointment for you last time?" ”

Su Xi was a little stunned, nodded reflexively, and then hurriedly shook his head, "No." ”

Wei Feng looked at her, a slight smile slowly appeared on Shaoqing's lips, and he didn't say anything more, and instructed his attendant Li Hong to go to Mr. Gu's house to get the strings, and prepare to change the strings for her.
