62. Cross the river and dismantle the bridge
Sun Rui is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion of Hui'an, and he was born with a talent, and he looks dignified, if it is not for the good of Longyang, it is really an excellent family affair. In her previous life, Su Lingrong only saw the superficial light of this family business, and she didn't really understand Sun Rui, so she begged the old lady for so long, and only after marrying into the Hui'an Hou Mansion did she regret it.
After Mrs. Hui'an Hou came to the house yesterday to express her intentions, the second lady Guo didn't want to be so cheap Su Lingyun. Her sister Rong can only marry Wu Er's gentleman, why can a daughter who is a cheap life marry so well?
Therefore, Guo did not immediately agree to this family business, but only said that he would consider it again.
Su Lingyun heard this from her subordinates, put down her pen, and knew that the Guo family didn't want to marry too well. She is a concubine, if she can marry the eldest son of the Hui'an Hou Mansion, it is indeed her high climb. She gritted her teeth and wanted to find Guo's theory, but when she thought that Guo was her mother-in-law, she naturally had the right to decide her marriage, and it would be impossible to tell who was reasonable and who didn't at that time. I had to sit back down, and reluctantly picked up the pen and continued to copy the scriptures.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Mrs. Hui'an Hou came again.
This time, not only did he come, but he also brought his son Sun Rui with him, saying that he wanted the old lady to look at each other.
Old Lady Su, Yin, Guo and Third Lady Yu happened to be in the upper room, and Su Xi and Su Lingyun were also here. Originally, the family was sitting and talking, but when they heard that Mrs. Hui'an Hou was coming, Su Xi and Su Lingyun had no choice but to go behind the screen of the painted bamboo rhyme evergreen red sandalwood base.
Only then did Su Xi know the purpose of her former son, Mrs. Hui'anhou, for coming.
The sons have all brought, what else can they do except say goodbye? I just don't know, who is this family thing for?
Su Lingrong has already made a marriage, and the only girls in the house who have not left the cabinet are herself and Su Lingyun. Su Xi was shocked in her heart, shouldn't she have said it to herself?
On second thought, it's unlikely. If it was really herself, it was impossible for Yin not to tell her, she settled down and looked outside the screen.
Mrs. Hui'anhou has a beautiful appearance, and her smile adds three points of kindness, and Sun Rui's appearance follows her.
Old Mrs. Su said, "Mrs. Sun, please take a seat." ”
After Mrs. Hui'an Hou sat down, Sun Rui took a step forward, saluted the old lady and the three ladies, and said, "The younger generation meets the old lady and the three ladies, the old lady is Changchun. ”
Looking at it this way, Sun Ruiwei is really well-born.
Su Xi sat on the beauty couch behind the screen, and through the gap between the screens, her eyes fell on Sun Rui. I saw Sun Rui wearing a rain-soaked azure embroidered bamboo pattern robe, with a tall figure, handsome facial features, and just the right demeanor, at first glance, he was a very cultivated son. If you don't know the things of your previous life, it's hard to believe that such a man has that kind of good valley.
Su Xi used to only think that Sun Rui had an indescribable strangeness, and it didn't seem to be the same as ordinary men, until one day when she went to the street, the carriage happened to break down and stopped on an inconspicuous street, she lifted the curtain and looked, and just saw Sun Rui and a man walking out of a courtyard in an intimate manner. At that time, there was no one in the alley, and the man put his arms around Sun Rui's waist, and his palm was still on his buttocks and pinched......
Su Xi was frightened stupid at that time, she had never seen two big men hugging each other on the street, she hurriedly put down the curtain, and the shock did not ease for a long time.
At that time, Su Lingrong had been married to Sun Rui for a few months, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Su Lingrong to know about it.
It is said that this Sun Gongzi not only has no ambiguity with several men, but also raises a lot of drama outside...... The reason why he married Su Lingrong was just to continue the incense of the Sun family.
Right now, Su Xi looked at this grandson and remembered his actions in his previous life, and the favor that arose because of his appearance quickly disappeared.
Su Xi turned his gaze, and saw Su Lingyun beside him with a delicate face, shy and timid, and lowered his head embarrassedly, so he vaguely guessed what was going on. Looking outside again, in addition to talking to the old lady, Mrs. Hui'anhou spent most of her time looking at the second lady Guo, so it is self-evident who Mrs. Hui'anhou is here for today.
It's just that Su Lingyun has never dealt with the Hou Mansion of Hui'an, why did Mrs. Hui'an Hou fall in love with her? Besides, why did I marry the fifth girl Su Lingrong in my last life, and I will marry the sixth girl Su Lingyun in this life? Su Xi couldn't figure out the trick of this.

At this end, Mrs. Su looked very satisfied with Sun Rui, and when Mrs. Hui'an Hou said goodbye, she personally sent people outside the door. Returning to the upper room and sitting in the rosewood card rose chair, she said: "I see that this family business is good, so it is better to make up your mind." Su is not young at the age of six, and he will be fifteen years old after the New Year, so he decided his family affairs as soon as possible, so he could stay in the boudoir as soon as possible and settle his mind. ”
This is talking about Su Lingyun's former Su Xiyu pendant, and this matter is not small, and the old lady knows about it.
The second lady Guo was dissatisfied, the old lady spoke, and she couldn't refuse again, so she only said: "Yes, it's just that it's not good for us to open our mouths, if Mrs. Hui'an Hou mentions this matter again next time, the daughter-in-law will agree." ”
Old Madam Su nodded and did not refute.
Su Lingyun heard that the old lady nodded and agreed to this family business, and it can be said that the past few days have been full of spring breeze, and she is very happy, and there is a kind of joy that has come from hard work. It's not bad for her to think so, if this family affair is successful, she will be a clan woman as soon as she marries into the Hou Mansion of Hui'an, and she can be in charge of the feed, not to mention, in the future, Sun Rui will inherit the title of Marquis of Hui'an, and she will have another son, that is, Mrs. Hou.
What's more, Sun Rui is good-looking and polite, just a few glances behind the screen today are enough to make Su Lingyun fascinated.
Su Lingyun returned to the house, looked at the scriptures that were only half copied on the table, and remembered the insults she had received, and her mood suddenly sank. She clenched her fists, thinking resentfully, she was just a little from a bad background, but she had to curry favor with Su Xi in a low voice and with a shy face, and after she married Sun Rui, she would definitely envelop Sun Rui's heart, so that everyone who looked down on her now would regret it.

Since Su Xi mended Wei Feng's purse, Wei Shizi has not come to the back door of the General's Mansion to look for her in the past few days.
Su Xi felt quiet, but at the same time, he couldn't help muttering: "Tear down the bridge when you cross the river." ”
Today is the sixth birthday of Fu Hongsheng, the Duke of Qingguo, the Su family went to celebrate his birthday, and Su Xi went with the Yin family. When she saw the old lady of Qingguo, Su Xi smiled and called "old lady" generously and naturally, as if she didn't know about the last time she came to the door to ask for Fu Shaoyun's marriage.
The old lady of Qingguo sighed and only said, "Sister Xi'er...... Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity......"
It's a pity that Fu Shaoyun doesn't have this blessing.
Mei Shi was not happy on the side, originally the old lady went to the general's mansion to say goodbye to her, she was very dissatisfied, and now she said this in front of everyone, and immediately said: "Mother, there are many guests outside, what are you talking about?" ”
The old lady of Qingguo shook her head, indicating that she couldn't talk to Mei's together.
Later, several girls' families went to the backyard, but Yu Baotong didn't come today, only Tang Wan came.
The sun is scorching and the weather is hot. In order to enjoy the coolness, Su Xi and Tang Wan specially chose a secluded octagonal pavilion, and the two sat in the pavilion, chatting while tasting the refreshments brought by the maid.
Su Xi was very intolerant of heat, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and it was useless for the two maids to shake the pu fan beside her. Tang Wan saw her holding her cheeks, so hot that her whole body wilted, and couldn't help but smile, and said, "I think the fan of Yin Mengming should not be given to Wei Shizi, it should be given to you." Cool in summer, warm in autumn, you need to be cooler than anyone else. ”
Su Xiwu's eyes rolled, and she finally came to her senses, "What does Sister Tang mean by this?" ”
Tang Wan looked around, there were only two of them nearby, and the others were all enjoying the cool in the Huxin Pavilion not far away, so she didn't hide her and said, "The day the queen held a banquet a few days ago, wasn't it Wei Shizi's birthday?" After the palace banquet was dispersed, I saw that Yin Mengming specially called Wei Shizi to a place where no one was there and gave him a folding fan made by himself. ”
As soon as Su Xi remembered this, Yin Mengmeng did discuss with Yin Pengpeng how to give the gift, but then she left early, and she pretended to have other things in her heart, so she naturally forgot about it.
Su Xi's heart moved slightly, but his face was silent, and he said casually: "Later, did Wei Shizi accept the fan?" ”
Tang Wan pursed her lips and said, "I watched from a distance and didn't see clearly." It's just that Yin Mengmeng is also a little bolder, and she dares to pass on private things to men in broad daylight, and if she is seen by someone with a heart, she is not afraid of ruining her reputation. ”
Su Xi let out an "oh", and when she thought of other girls giving gifts to Wei Feng, she felt a little unhappy.
Tang Wan didn't pay attention to her expression, and said, "But a person like Wei Shizi who guards etiquette should have confiscated it." ”
Su Xi flattened his mouth, and his heart was not a polite person, and everyone was deceived by his appearance.
Wei Feng looks polite on the surface, but in fact, he is very bad in his bones.
After the birthday banquet was over, Su Xi thought that the incense in the house was about to run out, so he told the Yin family to go to the spice shop on West Street to buy a few spices.
The carriage stopped at the door of the spice shop, Su Xi went in and selected several spices such as sandalwood, agarwood, tulip, cinnamon, etc., and was about to go out after paying the money, but a young man in a green shirt suddenly stood beside him and asked, "Girl, can I ask what kind of spice this is?" ”
Su Xi raised his head, was stunned after seeing this person's face clearly, and quickly recovered as usual, looked at the spices in his hand, and said, "This is sweet rosin." ”
Li Hong then asked a few more questions, and said: "My son-in-law asked the villain to choose a few spices, but the villain doesn't know much about them, can you ask the girl to help choose a few incense suitable for men?" ”
Su Xi thought for a moment and asked Tingyan to wait for him outside.
After listening to the wild goose go out, Li Hong saluted Su Xi and said respectfully: "Nine girls, the prince asked the villain to tell you that he needs to go back to the fiefdom of Jinzhou for a while." ”
