The green duck didn't dare to say any more, but retreated.

Old Madam Su looked at her back and stood in place for a while, and then turned around and returned to the small Buddha hall after half a ring.

The wind and snow were blowing on the window paper.

After about two quarters of an hour, Miss Xia Rou walked in tightly and shouted "Auntie".

It's cold outside, but the earth dragon is burning indoors, and it's warm. She had barely taken two steps into the door when she sneezed heavily from the warmth.

Old Madam Su turned to look at her, and there was two worries in her voice: "Why is this body so weak, and it doesn't get better after taking several medicines." ”

Xia Rou held the handkerchief and covered her nose, and said in a muffled voice: "It's almost good, just wait for the weather to be warmer." ”

Old Madam Su pursed the corners of her mouth when she heard this, her eyes flickered, and she fell on the incense shrine, and said softly: "Since you are here, let's put incense on the Bodhisattva." ”

"Yes." Xia Rou put down the veil, stepped forward to pick up three incense sticks on the road, lit the incense candle on the side, bowed three times respectfully, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Old Madam Su kept watching her movements, and smiled when she saw this: "Come, I have someone prepare your favorite refreshments, let's go back to the room and talk." ”

Xia Rou smiled and grabbed her arm, and walked side by side towards the warm pavilion.

But walking on the road, she felt a little worried in her heart.

She grew up in the Dingguo Mansion since she was a child, and there is only a young master and no young lady in the Dingguo Mansion, so if anyone is close to her aunt, several cousins may not be able to compare with her. She almost grew up in front of Mrs. Su, and her aunt's temperament was fully understood. But I know a little bit about it.

If it weren't for anything, she would have been able to say it when she was in the temple.

But my aunt didn't say anything.

Xia Rou's footsteps on the corridor were not much heavier than before.

When she arrived at the warm pavilion, Mrs. Su sat down first, and while letting the maids waiting in the room see the refreshments served, she beckoned Xia Rou to sit beside her.

Hearing this, Xia Rou tilted her head slightly, and looked at the red lacquered ice crack flower window on the other side, and a sense of uneasiness gradually rose in her heart.

And Mrs. Su, who was sitting upright on the soft couch, saw that she didn't move, so she urged again.

Xia Rou had no choice but to withdraw her gaze, walked forward with a smile, and sat next to her affectionately. He asked, "Auntie, is there anything important for me to tell me?" ”

Old Madam Su looked at the double screws on her head silently. "What about the head mask I gave you earlier?" But don't like it? I don't see you wearing it, this look is too plain. ”

"It's too late to like it, how can you not like it." Xia Rou smiled and shook her head, "Isn't this here to see you?" It's not to see outsiders. Where you need to put on hairpin ring jewelry. ”

Old Madam Su glanced at her disapprovingly. Finally got down to business: "Your fifth cousin just came to see me." ”

Xia Rou was still listening with concern, but when she heard the words "fifth cousin", she relaxed immediately. The tone also became absent-minded: "Oh? ”

Seeing this, Old Madam Su said with a look of hatred: "Oh what, don't you ask him what he is here for?" ”

"What to do? Didn't he come to see you? ”

Old Madam Su was very unhappy: "Then what did he do when he came to see me?" ”

Xia Rou blinked her eyes and said seriously: "You are his mother, does he have to do something when he comes to see you?" ”

Old Madam Su frowned, and said word by word: "He said that he has a girl he likes and wants to marry her." ”

Xia Rou said with an indifferent look: "Oh, that's right. ”

"You don't care about that?" Old Madam Su's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and she looked two more points sharp when she looked at Pingbai.

Xia Rou finally had a little more concern on her face, and said in a very regretful tone: "I don't know whose girl made the fifth cousin like it, it's really pitiful......"

Old Madam Su was anxious: "Pity? I see you're so pathetic! ”

She slapped the eighteen bracelets on her wrist and slapped them on the soft couch, and said in a deep voice: "Although I have never told you plainly, I have always looked forward to you being my daughter-in-law. ”

Xia Rou was startled when she heard this, she didn't even dare to sit down, she hurriedly stood up straight, and shook her head into a rattle: "I definitely don't have the slightest idea about my fifth cousin!" ”

Old Madam Su was extremely angry and shouted heavily: "Sister Rou! ”

Xia Rou was startled, and sat back in place.

But she still shook her head: "Auntie, fifth cousin, he doesn't like me either." ”

When Mrs. Su heard this, her face looked a little better, and her tone softened a little: "Although he doesn't like it now, he can't guarantee that he will like it one day." ”

Xia Rou lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, and said gloomily: "Auntie, the fifth cousin and I are born with a disagreement, it's really impossible to do it, what's more, doesn't he already have a favorite girl now?" You might as well be happy to fulfill him. ”

"Fulfillment?" Old Madam Su's voice was soft, and she chewed these two words back and forth in her mouth several times.

Xia Rou raised her head and said with a happy face: "Yes, when the fifth cousin is happy, you are also happy to have a good daughter-in-law, I am also happy, everyone is happy, isn't it a great thing?" ”

Old Madam Su was silent.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

The sound of the wind and snow wrestling on the doors and windows became louder.

簌簌, 簌簌.

It's like someone is walking outside with the soles of their shoes in tow.

It's a headache to hear.

Halfway through, Old Madam Su finally spoke up.

She just looked at Xia Rou, looked at the niece she had brought up since she was a child, looked at the face that was at least four or five points similar to herself, and said in a low voice, meaningfully: "I look forward to you being my daughter-in-law, it is divided into two for myself and eight for you." ”

"I've done so much, it's all for you, you foolish boy, what's wrong with your fifth cousin?"

"He has been wise since he was a child, and he has a slight deficiency in dealing with people, but he has a pure nature, he is a true gentleman, and he is young and has reached the third grade, and his future is limitless."

"Looking at the Su family's family background, no matter how top-notch, it is also a prestigious and well-established family in Beijing, how many people are looking forward to marrying into the Su family? It's okay for you to sell melons when I am my Huang Po, but I still have to say this, if you can marry Xiao Wu, how many girls in Beijing will envy you? ”

"You have always been smart, weigh yourself, this is the place you have lived in since childhood, you are familiar with it up and down, where is there a better family affair than this? Don't be stupid, your aunt is all for your good, your mother went early, and when you came to me, you were so ......" she gestured, and tears fell, "I treat you as my own daughter, where are I willing to ask you to go to other people's houses to suffer?" (To be continued.) )
