Chapter 38, the eldest brother's family affairs

Su Ximei saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl coming in behind, she was very sweet, especially with a sweet smile, how could a man not like it when he saw such a room, although Su Ximei was prepared, her hands were secretly clenched into fists, knowing that her mother-in-law was watching her at this time, so even though Su Ximei was now jealous in her heart, the smile on her face remained unchanged.

"The person chosen by my mother-in-law is good." After that, he took a hairpin from his head and inserted it into Xu Tiantian's hair.

"In the future, I will serve my husband well." Su Ximei looked at this woman who was going to rob her of her husband, although she kept smiling, but occasionally a ghostly light flashed in her eyes.

"Thank you, Madame, for the reward." Xu Tiantian's voice was also sweet, Su Ximei's fists were clenched tighter, and after taking Xu Tiantian back, the smile on her face couldn't be maintained, especially when she saw the beautiful face of the concubine who entered the door a few days later, she regretted it even more.

Han Zhan has been busy handing over and studying the place of appointment these days, and when he went home, he just nodded when he found that he had an extra concubine and a room, for them, the sons of the family, the concubine room and the room were very accustomed, but Han Zhan still accompanied Su Ximei before leaving.

After all, it is his own wife, Han Zhan wants to give Su Ximei dignity, and he also reminds the concubine not to recognize herself. Su Ximei also gradually understood that her husband would not spoil his concubine and kill his wife, and she was at peace, but she still cried for a long time when she looked at the back of Han Zhan leaving.

Han Zhan's departure had no impact on Su Xizhu at all, but the eldest aunt was not in good health some time ago, and her mother helped take care of the house for a few days.

"Hey, the older the eldest daughter-in-law gets, the more she can't figure it out." Although the old lady is no longer in charge of the house, the affairs of the Hou Mansion have not escaped her ears.

Mama Qi didn't speak, after all, it involved two ladies, and she was a slave who couldn't talk much. But Mama Qi also agreed with the old lady's words in her heart, after all, the third lady was just helping the council during the eldest lady's illness, but the eldest lady was afraid that the third lady would seize power and install people, which was too petty.

If the eldest lady was more cautious, Mama Qi still looked at her, but it would make people speechless if everyone was clear in their hearts, especially after the third lady did not make a mistake during the administration, the eldest lady struggled and said that she would take over the power of the family, so she was sick again in a few days, and made a lot of jokes.

In fact, it's not that Zhang's gets older and the more she can't figure it out, but her situation is really embarrassing, although her daughter is married to a high family, but because of the childbirth medicine, Zhang's family is a little faceless in her in-laws and her own family, and it also affects her daughter, especially now that her uncle takes the concubine to the room, although her daughter seems to have no influence and has the right to take care of the house, but the pain inside Zhang can not understand.

The eldest son has become more and more mediocre with the growth of the younger brothers below over the years, especially Su Zhi, the eldest son, who has been valued by her husband over the years, and the younger daughter has a timid and cowardly look, if she loses her housekeeping rights, then the Zhang family will feel that the sky is falling.

The Jiang family is not interested in the power of the Hou Mansion, after all, she is not short of money, and it is good for the Hou Mansion to live a small life by themselves when the Hou Mansion separates in the future, so she is not greedy for everything in the Hou Mansion at all.

It's just that Zhang's actions against her make Jiang dislike it, and I feel that since you are so protective of me, I can't compare to you if I don't do anything. Of course, Jiang didn't make any big moves, but he just let his people occupy some positions, which are not very important, but they are all positions that can make Jiang's ears and eyes clearer.

These have nothing to do with Su Xizhu, she wants to grow up well now, but when Su Xizhu was eleven years old, she still didn't get thinner, Su Wen circled around her a few times, and began to grow her beard and sigh.

"Sister, I think you really should control your appetite, you will marry a beautiful boy like this in the future? What beautiful boy can look at your excellent inside through your fleshy appearance?

I now think that I should indeed study hard, and when the time comes, I will go to him to be friends, so that you can get the moon first near the water in the future, but even if I work hard, you have to fight, right? ”

Su Wen is actually strange, although my sister eats a lot, her diet is very reasonable, and Su Wen also knows that her sister is still practicing martial arts in private, so why can't she lose weight? Is it innate?

"As the saying goes, even if you are a salted fish, you still have to have a dream, so my dream of marrying a peerless beautiful boy will definitely come true, in case he is blind."

Although Su Xizhu was also afraid that she would not be able to lose weight, she thought about her mother's words, and felt that it should not be, and besides, it would be two or three years before she began to look at each other, and everything would come in time.

In fact, Su Wen is just talking, he is reluctant to marry his sister too early, in fact, it is okay not to marry, it is a big deal that she raises her sister, if she makes so many things in order to have a child like the eldest sister, it is really too disturbing.

"By the way, sister, have you heard, the eldest aunt wanted to propose to the eldest brother to the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, but the other party refused." Su asked a gossip face, after all, the eldest brother is eighteen years old, and the girl who was married before suddenly wanted to keep filial piety, and the eldest aunt had to dissolve the marriage contract, but the girls were about to leave the filial piety period, and the eldest brother had not yet decided to marry.

Su Xizhu knew about this matter that the eldest brother was married before the eldest sister, so the family was not high, and she was the daughter of the mighty general of the fourth rank military attache in the capital. But in Su Xizhu's view, this is actually a good family affair, which was set by the uncle himself.

Although the Su family is the Hou Mansion, but in the end, the rivers are declining, and the parents are not too present except for the second uncle, although the uncle is the Hou Ye but has no real power, his father's reputation spreads all over the world, but it is useless, it can only be icing on the cake.

Therefore, the eldest uncle set up a four-rank military attache for the eldest son, especially the boss of the family who is directly in charge of Shengjing's safety, and the other party is not small as a deputy, but the eldest brother has been married for less than half a year, and the eldest sister has set the family affairs of the Dingguo Mansion, so the eldest aunt looks down on the woman's family and feels that his son has suffered a loss.

It's just that the eldest aunt mentioned retiring from the family, and was rejected by the grandmother, after all, the eldest sister had just decided to marry at that time, but there could be no bad rumors, the eldest aunt could only endure it, but I didn't expect that there were still a few months before the marriage, and the woman's grandmother passed away suddenly.

However, at that time, she was busy with the eldest sister's marriage, and the eldest aunt felt that the eldest sister was the wife of the prince of the Guogong Mansion, how could her eldest brother get married to a good family, so she was not in a hurry.

Who knew that the eldest aunt later found out that she thought too well, and the people she liked didn't take a fancy to her, although those people also wanted to marry the Dingguo Mansion, but the Dingguo Mansion was not childless, and the people that the eldest aunt looked at were actually all real power families, where would they look at a declining prince of the Hou Mansion, and this son was very mediocre.

It's just that the eldest aunt didn't give up, and all those who were a little worse were rejected, which caused the eldest brother to be eighteen years old and not yet married.

This is also fortunate that Su Wen, the second young master of Su Mansion, is a concubine, if it was a sister-in-law, the second aunt would have made trouble a long time ago, after all, the second brother is also sixteen years old, but the brother above is not married, and he can't get married.

Fortunately, the second brother Su Wen's mother-in-law, Aunt Wu, is more favored and smarter, and wrote to the second uncle when the eldest brother withdrew from the marriage.

However, because the eldest brother's matter delayed the second brother's marriage, the second aunt didn't say anything, but in fact, she couldn't be happier.

"But the eldest aunt really dares, she actually asked the eldest sister to go to the household department to propose marriage, there is only one concubine who is just fourteen years old, how can she fall in love with the eldest brother who is not even a showman, I really don't know what the eldest aunt thinks."

What do you think, I am not reconciled. However, the eldest sister will help the eldest brother propose marriage, Su Xizhu really didn't understand it, even if it is a brother and sister relationship, but people have to be realistic, she will not marry a high-ranking family, she thinks that the eldest brother must be able to marry a high-ranking daughter-in-law, right? In ancient times, it was true that in-laws were valued, but it was stupid to be able to make a book.

Su Xizhu felt that the eldest sister could marry the Dingguo Mansion, in fact, there was a lot of consideration, so the Dingguo Duke must not want to see the Hou Mansion marry a high-ranking family, especially if it is a family affair of the real power, I don't know if the eldest sister will be punished because of this matter?

"You say, how about marrying the original mighty general's family?" Su Wen thinks this is a good idea, the woman is now seventeen years old, and it is estimated that she will not be able to find a suitable one if she looks for it, so it is better to marry the eldest brother.

Su Xizhu shook her head, she heard something about the mighty general's family, when the woman's grandmother passed away, in fact, the mighty general wanted his daughter to marry within 100 days of hot filial piety, although the reputation was not good, but they were reluctant to delay their daughter, but unfortunately they were rejected by the eldest aunt.

Su Xizhu felt that people who love their children so much must be reluctant to marry their daughters to in-laws like their eldest aunt, but the elder brother has this idea, so I am afraid that others will also consider it, especially the eldest brother is getting older and his relatives are frustrated, and the younger brother below has reached the marriageable age.

Sure enough, Su Wen was not the only one who had the idea of getting married again, but the uncle also moved this idea, but unfortunately the mighty general's family refused.

When Su Wen got the latest news, he sighed a few words with Su Xizhu, and after a while, Su Xiju came, and Su Wen and Su Xiju said hello and left.

"Third sister, did I disturb you?" Su Xiju was a little uneasy.

"No, my brother is about to leave. What did Sister Ju bring? Su Xiju has been very close to Su Xizhu over the years, and Su Xizhu also likes this well-behaved and lovely sister very much, and often takes her to play.

Although Su Xiju is still very cowardly over the years, she has a much more cheerful personality, looking at the food box that Su Xiju brought, Su Xizhu is very interested, after all, she is also a foodie, and it is still necessary to communicate more.

In the big house on the other side, Zhang knew that her husband went to the mighty general in private to talk to the mighty general and tore up the handkerchief for her son, and she had no status as a mother? The husband didn't go through her to marry his son before, and now he does it again? What does this make everyone think of her?
