206 Housework
Although she laughed at Su Hao's hypocrisy, Lu Xiuer finally introduced Han Qian's situation to Su Hao as it was, which made Su Hao sigh in his heart.
Before Su Hao left Fengcheng, due to the status of his wife and concubine, Han Qian avoided Su Hao for a long time, let alone the door of the Su family. But after Su Hao left, Han Qian resumed contact with the Su family, and came to Yang Gendi twice in three days to ask for peace, and often sent people to Yang Gendi to send a sex wearing degree, as if she regarded herself as a daughter-in-law who had never passed the door.
When Su Hao was in Banzhou, he would occasionally ask someone to carry a letter home to report his safety. Every time Su Hao's letter was delivered to Su's house, Han Qian would come as soon as possible, and together with Lu Xiu'er, read Su Hao's letter dozens of times. Hearing that Su Hao was fighting against Yang Yinglong in Banzhou, Han Qian couldn't sleep well, and the level of worry even exceeded that of Yang Gendi and Lu Xiuer, which made both the mother and daughter feel so moved.
"Brother, I think Sister Qian'er is really good to you, you can't let her down." Lu Xiuer said to Su Hao.
When she said this, the two of them were in Lu Xiuer's room, Yang Gendi was tired all the way, and she couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep first, so Su Hao and Lu Xiuer had to go to Lu Xiuer's room to continue chatting.
"Xiu'er, you don't want to match me and Han Qian, do you?" Su Hao asked with a smile.
Lu Xiu'er reprimanded: "What kind of matchmaking is not matched, Sister Qian'er treats you like this, do you really bear to leave her?"
Su Hao said: "You match me and Qian'er, what about yourself, what are your plans?"
Lu Xiu'er's face showed some crimson, and she said timidly, "Brother." What do you think?"
Su Hao stepped forward and put his arm around Lu Xiu'er's shoulder. said to her: "Xiu'er, you and I grew up together, in a sour word, called childhood sweethearts, I will definitely not be sorry for you."
Lu Xiu'er leaned her head on Su Hao's chest, enjoying this sweet feeling, and whispered, "Brother, I won't leave you either."
Su Hao said: "That is the case. Then if I marry Han Qian again, will you be jealous?"
Lu Xiu'er gently pinched Su Hao's arm with her hand, and said half-angrily and half-resentfully: "What's the use of me being jealous, brother, you have such a big ability, there will definitely not be only one woman by your side in the future." You see, you've only been in the city for a few days, and even the daughter of the county magistrate has taken a fancy to you. If you stay in the stable for a long time in the future, maybe the emperor's daughter will take a fancy to you. Can I be jealous?"
"Uh...... Qian'er's incident was purely accidental. Su Hao said embarrassedly, "As for the emperor's daughter, don't worry, there will definitely be none." The emperor is only 10 years older than me. His daughter is still in his hands, and I'm not that beastly. ”
"Even if you are a teenager, how can you be considered a beast? Our shopkeeper Song, who sells Nanza in Fengcheng County, married a concubine who is more than 30 years younger than him, so isn't he also a beast?" Lu Xiuer said.
Su Hao said: "Hmm." He really can't be considered a beast, he is not as good as a beast. ”
Lu Xiuer hadn't heard Su Hao's flamboyant remarks for a long time. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and buried his head deeper in Su Hao's arms. Su Hao put one hand around Lu Xiu'er's waist, and gently stroked her hair with the other, and his heart was also full of tenderness.
The two of them kept warm for a while before Lu Xiu'er raised her head and said to Su Hao seriously: "Brother, let me tell you, if you really want to marry Sister Qian'er, you have to hurry."
"What do you mean?" Su Hao said strangely, "Could it be that there are still others who have taken a fancy to her?"
"There are many people who like Sister Qian'er." Lu Xiu'er said, "However, I can see that she won't take a fancy to others, her heart is on you." ”
"In that case, then why did you let me hold on?" Su Hao asked.
"Sister Qian'er is 17 years old, if you don't propose marriage again, when are you going to marry her?" Lu Xiuer said.
"17 years old...... I don't think I'm in a hurry. Su Hao said, in the future life, even falling in love at the age of 17 is considered early love, where can I talk about marriage.
"When we came out this time, Sister Cheng specifically told me to tell you about it." Lu Xiuer said.
"Cheng Yi?" Su Hao then remembered this person, and then remembered Cheng Yi's younger brother Cheng Dong, he asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask, Cheng Yi's sister and brother, how are you doing now?"
"Sister Cheng is in charge of the accounts in the mine, and she manages it well. We came to the stable this time, and I entrusted her with all the inheritance left by the family. Filial piety is quite aggressive, but people are too careless to take care of things, and I am relieved that Sister Cheng is in charge. Lu Xiuer said.
"Has this old witch been married?" Su Hao asked with a smile. In his impression, Cheng Yi has always been a bit chattering, very enthusiastic and thoughtful, like the kind of good witch in Western fairy tales.
"Why do you call her that?" Lu Xiu'er said dissatisfiedly, "Sister Cheng is dedicated to the affairs of our firm, and she is also very concerned about the affairs of you and Sister Qian'er, you can't call her like that." She is also a poor person, for the sake of her brother, she delayed marrying, and now that she is so old, unless she goes to be a concubine for someone else, who will marry her?"
"I remember...... She's in her early 20s, right?" Su Hao said, "This is considered an age?"
"Of course, if a woman is not married at the age of 20, it is not easy to marry." Lu Xiuer said.
"What about her brother Cheng Dong, is he still in Longguang Academy?" Su Hao asked again. Cheng Dong once led the crowd to Fengcheng County to petition because of the gold mining, and the spearhead was directed at Su Hao, which made Su Hao unhappy. However, after all, Cheng Dong was sent to Longguang Academy by Su Hao to study, and he was Cheng Yi's younger brother, so Su Hao still had to ask him about his current situation.
Lu Xiuer didn't know about Cheng Dong and Su Hao's bad relationship at the time, but she also heard about it afterwards, so she was very disdainful of Cheng Dong. She pouted and said, "This Cheng Dong is not very good in character, but he has some skills in reading." He was admitted to Xiucai last year, and this year he participated in the township examination and won the examination, which is the youngest person in Fengcheng County. ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing...... Cheng Yi can be regarded as worthwhile. Su Hao said lightly. Su Hao didn't have a good impression of Cheng Dong, so when he heard that he was lifted, Su Hao felt more uncomfortable. But thinking that Cheng Yi sacrificed his youth just so that this younger brother could stand out, and now Cheng Dong did not disappoint Cheng Yi, Su Hao also felt a little relieved from Cheng Yi's point of view.
Lu Xiu'er said: "Sister Cheng and her younger brother often quarrel, and every time they quarrel, Sister Cheng has to come to our house and cry secretly. I don't know why they're arguing, but I think this Cheng Dong will be a white-eyed wolf sooner or later, and Sister Cheng won't be able to enjoy his blessings. ”
"Alas, the hard-working Cheng Yi." Su Hao sighed, and didn't know what to say.
Why did Cheng Yi quarrel with Cheng Dong, Su Hao was actually able to guess a few points. As early as the last time Cheng Dong challenged Su Hao, Cheng Yi had a disagreement with his younger brother, and he came to apologize to Su Hao. Cheng Dong is a cynical man, full of dissatisfaction with the status quo of society. Cheng Yi is much more peaceful, contented and happy, and often misses the people who have helped him. It is strange that there is no conflict between these two different values. As Cheng Dong's academic achievements become greater and greater, the contradictions between him and Cheng Yi will definitely escalate.
"In a few years, I will find a way to bring Cheng Yi to the stable to develop, anyway, her younger brother is also older and can stand on her own, she should have her own life." Su Hao said.
"Brother, when are you going to bring Sister Qian'er to the stable? This matter is more urgent than bringing Sister Cheng to the stable. Lu Xiuer reminded.
Su Hao shook his head and said: "I can't take care of these things now, I haven't stood firm on my heels in the stable, and the emperor doesn't know what kind of envoy he will appoint to me, this is really not the time to start a family." I'll take care of this when everything is a bit of a concern. ”
Lu Xiu'er said: "That's fine, but, brother, why don't you have to write a letter to Sister Qian'er, people are waiting for you there, and you don't even give anyone a message."
"Well, I see, I'll write to her another day." Su Hao agreed.
The two chatted some more gossip, and Su Hao saw Lu Xiu'er's upper and lower eyelids start to fight, so he got up and left. With the etiquette and religion of the Ming Dynasty, although they have the status of an unmarried couple, Su Hao will definitely not be able to stay in Lu Xiuer's boudoir. For Lu Xiu'er, being able to be with Su Hao is already very content, and further things are not something she can think of now.
With a woman in the family, the situation is very different. Yang Gendi and Lu Xiu'er quickly adapted to the roles of the old lady and the young grandmother, and managed the entire Su Mansion in an orderly manner, looking more like a home.
Su Hao became the shopkeeper again, leaving everything at home to his mother and sister, while he spent his days mingling with Hao Qing, Ma Yu, Xu Guangqi, Xiong Ji and others to learn about what they did during their time in Fengcheng and discuss what new things they could do in the stable in the future.
On this day, several people were chatting about the repair of the reservoir in the living room, when the porter suddenly came to report that a guest had visited.
"What kind of person is it?" Su Hao asked.
"It's an old man who came in a sedan chair." The porter said.
"Just a sedan chair, no one else?" Su Hao asked again.
The porter said: "It's just a sedan chair, the old man is sitting in the sedan chair, and there is a house slave next to him, and there is no one else."
"It won't be the autumn breeze coming to the door, right?" Jiang Yida, a student, joked on the side, "It is said that the people in the stable are either rich or expensive, and those who come in a small sedan chair like this are probably people who are not good at mixing." ”
"If you want to fight the autumn wind, you should also go to the rich and noble, I am a poor person, how can I fight the autumn wind?" Su Hao smiled, and he continued to ask the porter, "Can anyone say their first name?"
The porter said: "He said something, but he has a southern accent, and the little one didn't understand it too much." I remember that he seemed to say that his name was Wang Xijue. (To be continued.) You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes,
