Chapter 99: Set for Life
Song Xinshu looked around, but she didn't see a young woman at home, she was curious, but she saw that Lin Guifen was talking to Yu's father and Yu's mother, and she was a junior, so she was not easy to interject.
The three of them greeted each other casually, and after a while, a woman with a basket on her wrist walked in from outside the door, and said as she walked in: "Mother, the mushrooms in the back mountain are ripe, and you can wrap your favorite mushroom-filled dumplings in a while!" ”
Song Xinshu looked at the girl who came in, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pair of big eyes shining, fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, wearing a coarse cloth dress, and her eyebrows and eyes were happy.
Song Xinshu smiled and said, "Presumably this is Miss Yu, right?" ”
Yu's mother said embarrassedly: "This girl in my family is playful, last night I told her that there were guests coming today, and this morning I ran away with a basket." ”
"Miss Yu is also filial, thinking that you love mushroom-stuffed dumplings, so she ran to pick mushrooms early in the morning." Song Xinshu looked at this Miss Yu very really, unlike some women who always showed a posture.
"Go wash your face, change your clothes and come back again, move faster!"
Yu Sutao stuck out her tongue mischievously, put the basket in her hand on the table, and walked quickly to the back room to change clothes.
Song Xinshu looked at Song Caishu, wanting to see if the second brother had taken a fancy to the second miss of the Yu family, but saw that the second brother's face was slightly red, his eyes looked away, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Yu Sutao changed into a peach-pink shirt, the long hair that was originally draped over her shoulders was also pulled up, and a white jade hairpin was inserted in her sideburns, and the girl's breath couldn't be suppressed.
"Mother, what are we going to eat at noon, Daddy suddenly went to Qianzhuang for something, Mother, I'll wrap you a drawer of dumplings, enough for the two of us to eat." Yu Sutao sat next to Yu's mother and said, as if she didn't see them.
Yu's mother patted Yu Sutao's hand and said: "What are you talking about, there are guests in our house, and that young man is the one my mother told you last night, if you like it, tell your mother, my mother is in charge of you." ”
Generally, the family is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and Yu's mother asks her daughter's opinion like this, and it seems that she really spoils this only daughter.
"Mother, I told you that I won't marry, don't you want me so much, you have to marry me off in a hurry!"
Yu Sutao frowned slightly, and did not shy away from Song Xinshu and the others sitting next to them, almost just to the three of them.
"You girl, you don't look at your age, and you're still full of people who don't marry or don't marry, do you want to stay at home and be an old girl?"
After whispering Yu Sutao, Yu's mother smiled embarrassedly and said to Lin Guifen: "My girl is angry with me, she is not like this on weekdays." ”
"I'm so spicy on weekdays, you've seen it too, if you can't like it, please go back."
Yu's mother also changed her expression when she saw her daughter talking like this, and said to Lin Guifen and the others apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Nizi in the family doesn't know what's going on today, please don't be surprised." ”
Yu Sutao pulled Yu's mother's sleeve and said, "Mother, what are you talking to them about?" ”
"Don't talk, go back to your own room!" Yu's mother said sternly.
Yu Sutao pursed her lips and turned around and went back to her room.
Yu's mother had an apologetic look on her face, and said: "My daughter is not like this on weekdays, I don't know what's wrong today, I don't know how to speak like this, I will definitely talk about her well in a while, and ask her to come out and apologize to you." ”
Song Xinshu's heart is also very strange, Yu Sutao doesn't look like a snarky person, and the second brother's size and appearance are very compatible with her, is it because she didn't take a fancy to the second brother?
Song Xinshu looked at Lin Guifen who was also a little overwhelmed, so he said to Yu's mother: "Can I go and talk to Miss Yu, after all, she and I are both daughters, and we have more common topics." ”
Yu's mother doesn't know what's wrong with her daughter today, the usually lively and docile child suddenly became aggressive today, and now she can only agree with what Song Xinshu said.
Seeing that Yu's mother nodded, Song Xinshu walked to Yu Sutao's door and knocked on the door gently.
Hearing that there was a response inside, Song Xinshu pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Yu Sutao sitting at the table, holding a pen and writing something.
Song Xinshu walked over and saw that she was copying a Buddhist scripture, and said with some surprise: "Miss Yu, do you believe in Buddhism?" ”
Yu Sutao said: "The girl doesn't have to be so polite, just call me Su Tao, I don't believe in Buddhism, I just think that copying Buddhist scriptures can calm my mind, I only went to school for a few days, I know a few words, so I can recognize more words." ”
Song Xinshu looked at her and didn't look like she was radical just now, so she walked in and looked at the paper on her desk, although her handwriting was not very good, but it was also regular.
"Are you the Song shopkeeper of Subei Tea House?" Yu Sutao looked at Song Xinshu and asked with some curiosity.
"Have you ever been to the Northern Jiangsu Tea House?" Song Xinshu sat down on the chair opposite her and said. "Have you ever tasted the pastries in the Northern Jiangsu Tea House?"
Yu Sutao shook her head with some regret and said: "I have been helping my mother with housework at home, and I don't have time to go out, but I heard my mother say yesterday that the daughter of the Song family is so powerful, and she became the shopkeeper in the big tea house at a young age. ”
Song Xinshu smiled and said: "It's just a small business, if you want to, you can be like me." ”
Yu Sutao sighed and said: "I can't leave the house, my younger brother is young, and my mother is the only one by my side, if I leave, my mother will be alone at home." ”
"I heard that you also have an elder brother who has already married, why would you leave your mother alone?"
Song Xinshu seemed to know the reason why Yu Sutao was reluctant to marry, but seeing that she seemed unwilling to say any more, he continued: "I thought you didn't have a crush on my second brother!" ”
Speaking of this, Yu Sutao blushed slightly and said, "I only cared about my mother's affairs just now, and I didn't look at it carefully, anyway, I have already made up my mind not to marry, what does it matter if I don't look at it?" ”
Song Xinshu was surprised that she would say such a thing, but they had just become acquainted, and it was not easy to dig into the bottom of the question, and she had been in for a while, so she said: "I'm afraid that my mother will be worried, so I will go out and talk to them first, the days will be long in the future, and some things don't have to be said too absolutely." ”
Yu Sutao nodded at her, Song Xinshu left the room, and after walking to the front hall, she saw that several people present had cast expectant glances at her.
Song Xinshu said: "Miss Yu and I are new acquaintances, and some things are not easy to ask, so I still have to ask Mrs. Yu to see if there is anything on my mind." ”
"This girl, what kind of illness is she doing, it really makes you laugh."
Lin Guifen said with relief: "My daughter's family is big and has her own thoughts, if there is fate, it will not be at this moment, then we will visit another day, and we will go back today." ”
When Yu's mother heard that they were leaving, she hurriedly said, "You have come so far, you must stay for lunch!" ”
But Lin Guifen insisted on leaving, and after several shirks, he left with Song Xinshu and Song Caishu.
The three of them sat in the carriage, Song Xinshu looked at the sullen appearance of his mother and second brother, and said: "When I talked to Miss Yu just now, I felt that she was not dissatisfied with the second brother, but as if there was something unspeakable, saying that she would leave her mother alone, I am afraid that there is something we don't know." ”
Song Caishu's originally gloomy eyes revealed a glimmer of light, looked at Song Xinshu and said, "Really, isn't she dissatisfied with me?" ”
Song Xinshu looked at his second brother's appearance, thinking that his two elder brothers really treated their feelings the same.
"I don't think this family business is without fate, and my mother doesn't have to worry about it, it's just the first time we meet now, and if it doesn't work in the future, it depends on whether the second brother doesn't work hard."
Song Caishu asked anxiously: "Then how should I work hard?" ”
Song Xinshu couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, and said: "The second brother is so anxious, but he has fallen in love with the girl of the Yu family, but it doesn't hurt, the girl of the Yu family is good and smart, and she is indeed a likable." ”
Song Caishu scratched his hair embarrassedly and said, "Third sister, there is really not a day when you don't laugh at me." ”
At this time, Lin Guifen also spoke: "I heard Mrs. Zhao say that the girl is generous and good-looking, but I haven't said a few things before, I have to ask Mrs. Zhao another day." ”
In fact, Lin Guifen was worried about whether this girl had any hidden disease, so she kept dragging it out and refused to marry.
The three of them returned home with their own thoughts, and when it was closed at night, Song Xinshu was about to go back to the room to sleep, but saw the second brother sitting alone under the porch in a daze.
She walked over, sat down next to her second brother and said, "Second brother, are you still thinking about the things during the day?" ”
Song Caishu sighed slightly and said, "I don't know if I'm not good enough to make people look down on me, and deliberately say something ugly to drive me away." ”
Song Xinshu patted the second brother on the shoulder and said, "If the second brother really cares about Yu Sutao, I will go and inquire for the second brother first, and then say that my second brother is dignified, how can there be any reason to look down on it?" ”
"You're just making fun of me." Song Caishu said with a wry smile.
"You still have to look at it three times, second brother, you have only been there once, so frustrated, mainly because I also think that girl is good, I went to her room today and saw that she was copying Buddhist scriptures, that kind of aggressive shelf, I think it is also deliberately pretended."
"Pretending, why is that?"
"This is what we don't know, this matter has to be struck while the iron is hot, why don't we go again tomorrow, you are also anxious at home."
"Tomorrow?" This time, it was Song Caishu's turn to hesitate.
