Chapter 288: Causes
"Go and call your daddy for dinner." Feng said to Su Shanmo.
Su Shanyun, who was helping to set the dishes on the side, was stunned.
In the past, Feng would take the initiative to call Su Zizhao every time he had a meal, how could it change now?
If the woman in the family is in a bad mood, a home looks particularly bleak, and Su Shanyun clearly understands it at the moment.
She decided to observe quietly for a few days.
After all, the second uncle and the Feng family are both her elders, and it is not good for her to take care of their affairs clearly.
So she didn't say anything and focused on setting the dishes.
Soon Su Zizhao came in, and as soon as he entered, he glanced at Feng.
Feng naturally knew that he had come in, but she pretended not to know and straightened her face.
Everyone seemed to have a hard time eating this dinner, so everyone hastily ate some and left the table.
"I'll coax Brother Yi to sleep first, and you can chat with everyone in the hall." After the meal, Feng said to Su Shanyun.
"Okay." Su Shanyun nodded hurriedly.
When he arrived in the hall, Su Shanyun found that only Su Zizhao was sitting there drinking tea slowly.
"Shanmo and Shanli went back to their room?" Su Shanyun asked.
"It should be." Su Zizhao replied, raising his hand and motioning for Su Shanyun to sit.
Su Shanyun sat down on the chair directly opposite him.
"You've got a few months to go, right?" Su Zizhao asked Su Shanyun.
"Uh-huh, December 1st."
"Time flies!" Su Zizhao sighed.
"Have you been on your mind lately? You weren't like that before. Su Shanyun asked.
"Well, it's fine." Su Zizhao didn't say.
Su Shanyun didn't ask again. After finding some light topics and chatting with him for a while, I got up and went back to my room to rest.
The next evening, Su Zizhao brought back a letter to Su Shanyun.
"Second Master Yan asked me to hand it over to you." Su Zizhao said.
Su Shanyun hurriedly opened it to see.
But I saw that it was briefly written: Shanyun, I have already inquired about the person you asked me to inquire about, and she is still by the emperor's side as the imperial Shangyi. According to the inquirer, she is a middle-aged woman with good manners, not only looks good, but also very elegant and generous, so it is no wonder that she can stay in Shangyi Bureau at this age. You can tell her what you want to help convey in the form of a letter. Another: The weather is getting hotter, take care of yourself.
Su Shanyun wrote a letter to Deng Ailian that night.
In the letter, she informed Deng Ailian of Deng Shimao's entrustment.
The next day, Su Zizhao brought the letter to Yan Jinxuan, and Yan Jinxuan sent someone to hand it over to Deng Ailian.
Two days later, Su Shanyun received a letter from Deng Ailian: Hello Miss Su, your letter has been received. Thank you for your help! I'll write a letter home in a few days. But I don't think I have much time to go back in person. I'm sure you're a little weird about why I've never been home, aren't you? But there is a reason why I don't go back. To tell you the truth, I ran out because of my mother's forced marriage, and I knew that once I went back, I would fall into this forced situation again. So don't want to go back. As for the reason why they have not been married in the first place. One is because I didn't meet the right one. The second is because I have long held the idea of being celibate for a lifetime, but they will never understand, they think things differently than I do.
Su Shanyun replied: Everyone has their own way of living. There is nothing to blame for this. It's good to live your life well. But your mother is the one who gave you life, and she's old, so you should go back and see her.
Two days later, Su Shanyun received her letter again, and then replied to her.
"Why are you so diligent in communicating with her?" Su Zizhao asked curiously.
"I think I can talk to her." Su Shanyun replied.
There were other reasons, but she didn't say it.
Su Zizhao didn't ask much.
That night, Su Shanyun was woken up in her sleep by a low quarrel.
It was the voice of Su Zizhao and Feng.
They quarreled on and off.
Feng's tone was full of resentment, and Su Zizhao's voice was restrained and cold.
Su Shanyun couldn't fall asleep suddenly, so she got up to read.
Mama Song, who felt that there was light in the room, hurriedly put on her clothes and came in.
"Can't sleep?" Mama Song asked Su Shanyun.
"Sort of."
"Would you like a glass of water?"
"No, I don't. By the way, did you hear what they were arguing about? ”
"No, I just woke up."
"Oh, that's fine, go to sleep." Su Shanyun said to her.
"You don't sleep?"
Su Shanyun thought for a while and said, "I will continue to sleep too." ”
With that, he lay down again.
Mama Song hurriedly came in to help her blow out the light on the table.
The sound of the quarrel died down after a while.
Su Shanyun also slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Su Shanyun found Feng's haggard face, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Feng Shi hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night." ”
"Is it because it's too hot?"
"Maybe."
"Then why don't you prepare an ice pack or something before going to bed?"
"No, it's not that serious." After Feng finished speaking, he turned around and hugged Brother Yi'er.
Su Shanyun didn't say anything more, and thoughtfully tidied up Brother Yi'er's small bed.
In the evening of that day, when Su Zizhao came back, Feng simply hid back in the room.
After pouring tea for Su Zizhao, Su Shanyun asked, "Did you quarrel with your aunt?" ”
"How do you know?" Su Zi asked in surprise.
There was a look on his face that looked uneasy.
"I ...... I saw it. Su Shanyun said busily.
Su Zizhao blinked and didn't speak again.
Su Shanyun didn't dare to ask again.
But that night, Su Shanmo and Su Shanli came to Su Shanyun's room and asked her for help with a heavy face.
"They've been making trouble for nearly a month, and if they continue like this, something will definitely happen." Su Shanmo said.
"What happened?" Su Shanyun asked in a low voice.
The twin sisters glanced at each other, but neither seemed to dare to speak.
Su Shanyun didn't ask again.
She motioned for them to sit down.
Then she asked Mama Song to retreat again.
Su Shanmo approached Su Shanyun's side and said: "Daddy recently fell in love with a woman and was about to marry her as a side room, but her mother refused, saying that the men of the Su family have not had the rules of marrying a side room for sixty years. ”
Su Shanyun was surprised.
This was something she hadn't expected. She hurriedly asked, "Whose daughter is that?" How is the character? ”
"The daughter of Gu Yucheng, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, is named Gu Jingbao. I heard that she was smart, beautiful and lovely since she was a child, and Master Gu treated her better than her daughter, so she received a good education. Daddy has a very good personal relationship with Master Gu, so he often comes to Gu's Mansion as a guest, and he knows her when he comes and goes. Su Shanmo said.
The woman who can make the second uncle have the heart to marry must not be an ordinary person, but the Su family does have a 60-year rule of 'not marrying a side room'.
"Is your daddy to the point where he has to marry her?" Su Shanyun asked.
In fact, she was embarrassed to take care of these things, but in case there was discord within the second uncle's family, she still decided to understand the ins and outs of the matter.
"Well, Daddy is so fascinated by her, she came home late every day a few days ago. If it weren't for your presence these days, he'd probably come back late. Su Shanli replied.
"What do you say? If you agree with Daddy, you have to grieve your mother, and if you agree with your mother, you have to make a person sad, so we didn't dare to persuade after thinking about it for a long time. Su Shanmo said. (To be continued......)
PS: Dear friends, the third watch is coming. I'm a little late, sorry!
