Chapter 42: Exploring the Su Mansion at Night
Su Tang said angrily: "It's all because of you, at the beginning of my pregnancy with Mingyue, you didn't listen to persuasion, and you had to go to the north with those fox friends and dog friends." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info turned out to be good, but the door was robbed without fishing. I was so frightened day and night that a pot-bellied woman filled in all her savings of more than three hundred taels of silver, otherwise why would she not even be able to make up a hundred and eighty taels of dowry? Look at Mingyue's current appearance, skinny ...... It was scared out of my stomach and hungry. Oh, you learned very well in the thief's den at that time, what do you say, 'The beauty is in the dust, and the moon is bright and bright for thousands of miles.' These words coax our mother and daughter, don't you care about Mingyue at this time? ”
Uncle Su Tong's face turned red when he was reprimanded, and he apologized in a low voice: "Madame, forgive me, blame me for being young and impulsive, it's been so many years, what do you want to do with it." Let's not mention it, don't mention it. This Mingyue's marriage is all up to you, it's all up to you, and you must obey what you want to do. ”
Li Xiangzhi's face was slightly pale, and he looked at the two of them talking with a strange expression. Secretly: "There are still such secrets." 'The beauty is in the dust, and the moon is bright every mile', well! It seems that Su Mingyue's name came from this. Hey! Something seems to be wrong. ”
Uncle Su Tong looked displeased when he saw Su Tang's frowning brows, and he didn't dare to touch his brows again, and said to Li Xiangzhi: "You go back and prepare, and I'll let Ah Fu go to you tomorrow." ”
No matter how petty the Su family was more than ten years ago, but now there are only three servants and four masters in the family, Uncle Su Tong and his wife, Su Mingyue and Su Rui's sisters and brothers, as well as Ruyu maid and Ah Fu, who has been with Uncle Su Tong for most of his life, and Su Tang's personal maidservant, now the two masters have become relatives, and the two personal slaves have also become a couple, so Su Mingyue and others call them Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu.
Li Xiangzhi thought about it slightly, and suddenly it didn't matter, he did a good job as he encountered. For Li Xiangzhi, Su Mingyue's beauty and ugliness are actually not very important, the important thing is that he feels that Su Mingyue's upbringing must be very good, and this alone can be his lifelong partner.
After Li Xiangzhi agreed, he was hurriedly driven away by Uncle Su Tong, so that Li Xiangzhi heard Uncle Su Tong's troubles, how could Uncle Su Tong still have the face to keep him.
…………
As soon as night approached, the moon had appeared in the east, Li Xiangzhi took two sharp breaths into the refreshing air, and said to the moon: "Unexpectedly, I am about to get married." Mom and Dad, my son is doing well! Your daughter-in-law's name is Su Mingyue, 'the beauty is in the dust, and the moon is bright and bright across thousands of miles', a good name...... Huh? ”
Li Xiangzhi's face suddenly turned blank and secretly wondered: "What's wrong?" ”
Li Xiangzhi was shocked, and after reading this poem carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Su Yinchen! By the way, no wonder I felt quite familiar when I saw my mother-in-law for the first time, it turned out to be very similar to Su Yinchen. Suddenly thought about it: "This Su Yinchen can't be Su Mingyue, right?" "The beauty is in the dust, and the moon is bright every mile", your sister, eight or nine are not far from ten, don't bring such a play. ”
Li Xiangzhi's mind was hot, thinking of Su Yinchen's past, the more he thought about it, the more he looked like a woman, no wonder he was sometimes staring at people stupidly, and he thought that he had a habit of breaking sleeves in your land after coming to the Ming Dynasty. But although Li Xiangzhi's guess is not far from ten, he still doesn't dare to make up his mind after all. At that moment, Li Xiangzhi made an astonishing decision - to visit Su Mansion at night!
Li Xiangzhi's enthusiasm is the head, and he will do what he says. took advantage of the fact that it was still dark and ran all the way to Su's house, and when he arrived at Su's house, it had already turned into a starry night. But it's not the time to sleep. Li Xiangzhi paced back and forth around the courtyard of the Su family, and he didn't know how to get in, but he faintly heard a sound inside.
Just as Li Xiangzhi was racking his brains to think of a plan, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching, and suddenly squinted, only to see a lantern being held by a short figure in one hand, and the other party was holding a short stick in the other hand.
The other party shouted: "He Fang, the rat generation, actually came to my Su family to steal!" ”
Li Xiangzhi's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he suddenly said, "No, no...... Ah, you're Su Rui! ”
Fortunately, Li Xiangzhi has an excellent memory and can hear Su Rui's voice. It was Su Rui who came.
"Who are you?"
"I, your future brother-in-law, Li Xiangzhi, we met last time, do you remember?"
"Oh!" Su Rui was in a moment of excitement and was disappointed. "Brother-in-law, what are you doing at my house so late? If you're here, why don't you knock on the door? ”
Li Xiangzhi didn't know why Su Rui was disappointed, but his face suddenly turned happy, and he said, "I'm here to see your sister, uh...... In the morning, I talked to my uncle and aunt about getting married, and I have some things I want to discuss with your sister, but I don't want to alarm my uncle and aunt. ”
Su Rui suddenly came to his senses and said, "It's so late, since you don't enter the door, then I'll call my sister out for you." ”
"No way!"
Su Rui wondered, "Why?" ”
"I suddenly changed my mind. In this way, Su Rui, can you sneak me in, let me see your sister, and you can't let her know......"
Su Rui suddenly understood, and immediately said unhappily: "Brother-in-law, I call you brother-in-law, that is respecting your personality, why are you so ugly and beautiful?" If my sister is not as you like, then you are not going to ruin your marriage today? ”
Li Xiangzhi explained: "That's not the case, I'm a poor ghost, and I can't afford the notoriety of being ugly and loving beauty, this marriage must be concluded, and we have to meet sooner or later, right?" ”
Li Xiangzhi saw that Su Rui's face was cold and unmoved, and he immediately 'confessed': "Okay, let me tell you, this time my uncle and aunt plan to contribute money and help me marry Mingyue, I feel ashamed of your sister, so the temporary uprising plans to paint a picture and give it to your sister as your sister's birthday gift next month, which can be regarded as a gesture of affection." But you can't let your sister know about it beforehand, or there will be no surprise on her birthday. It's a pity that I haven't met your sister, and if I see it, even for a moment, I can put it into the painting. ”
Li Xiangzhi pretended to be depressed and said: "Alas, since this is the case, I will also break this thought." ”
Seeing Li Xiangzhi suddenly turn around sadly and walk away, Su Rui hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Okay, I'll help you!" ”
Li Xiangzhi was immediately overjoyed, and said to Su Rui with his shoulders on his back: "Good brother, I will cover you in the future." ”
Su Rui glanced at him: "But this is very risky, I won't help in vain!" ”
"What? Still conditional? Li Xiangzhi was suddenly surprised.
"Of course, if my father and mother find out, I will definitely be beaten."
"And what are you going to do?"
"What else? Of course, it's a real money transaction, and I won't do it without three coins of silver. ”
"Hey?" Li Xiangzhi said dumbly: "What do you want so much money for at a young age?" ”
"To give or not to give? If you don't give it, my sister won't mind if you draw or not. ”
Li Xiangzhi was speechless, "Okay, if you are ruthless, I have it." ”
Li Xiangzhi took out a long time, but didn't see the change, only took out one or two whole pieces of silver, and said, "Is it okay to play a white strip?" ”
When Su Rui saw the one or two pieces of silver in Li Xiangzhi's hand, his eyes suddenly rolled and he quickly snatched it down. Said: "Okay, I'll give you a white strip!" ”
Li Xiangzhi's face suddenly cramped, but he didn't care about this little money. said: "It's all for you." ”
Su Rui's face suddenly turned happy, and he said, "Okay, don't ask me for it in the future." ”
"Cut! How can I rely on you little brat? ”
"Who's small!"
"Don't say it, it's not early, you hurry up and call the door."
After the help of Su Rui, the inner ghost, Li Xiangzhi entered the Su house without danger, and led him to the outside of Su Mingyue's house, the Su family is not big, only one entry, but it is also divided into the left and right backyards, Su Mingyue lives in the right courtyard, a small courtyard.
"Brother-in-law, my sister lives in that house, but I don't know if she will go out again tonight."
Su Mingyue's house lights will be bright, and there is no movement in the house, probably reading a book or something.
Li Xiangzhi smiled slightly and said, "Let's hide it first and watch me." ”
