said that she didn't regret it, it was self-deception, Su Rong was still a little lost in her heart, remembering that although the sisters had compared each other since childhood, they still spent most of their time playing together, and they didn't have so many worries at that time, and they were very comfortable.

"Second sister, do you remember when you were a child, you took us down to the pond to catch fish?" Su Rong asked suddenly.

Su Xi recalled carefully, there was indeed such a time, Su Wenqin took her to the small river outside to catch two big carp, one braised and the other steamed, which was very delicious.

She said in front of her sisters how fun it was to catch fish, and she also boasted about how good she was, and Su Rong was eager to try, so she secretly took Su Rong, Su Yun and Su Tong down to the pond in her home.

The pond is not deep, but it is not something that a few seven or eight-year-old girls can bully at will.

Su Rong saw a small fish swimming in front of her and pounced forward, but the mud at the bottom of the pool was thick and slippery, and she sank into the mud with one foot, but her body still maintained a forward posture.

It was Su Yun and Su Tong who were beside her who quickly grabbed the placket of her back, but they didn't have enough strength to pull Su Rong up, Su Rong couldn't move her feet, and her body was desperately falling forward, so scared that she cried.

Su Yun and Su Tong exerted enough strength, their little faces were flushed, and finally waited for Su Xi's support, and the three of them worked together to straighten Su Rong's body and help her pull her feet out of the mud.

The four of them were so tired that they sat in the mud and splashed all over their bodies, and their hands and faces were full of dirty mud, but they were very happy in their hearts.

"Remember," Su Xi said with a smile, "not only did the four of us fail to catch a fish, but we all turned into mud monkeys, and finally we were scolded by my father." ”

Seeing that Su Rong was silent, Su Xi continued: "We are sisters who grew up together, how can there be any grudges and grudges that can't be resolved? ”

Su Rong was a little moved, but in the end she didn't take action, but quietly asked Su Xi another question: "Second sister, if your aunt asks you to do something you don't want to do, will you listen to her?" ”

Su Xi blinked his eyes and replied: "Then it depends on what, my mother asked Mama to teach me etiquette before, I was extremely unwilling, you have also seen Mama Xu's power, I was scared when I saw her."

"But the Lu family is high and pays attention to etiquette, I know that my mother is for my good, so even if I don't want to, I will still listen to her and learn the rules from my grandmother."

"Then if you know it's wrong, but your mother is really thinking about you, will you still do it?" Su Rong asked again.

"I haven't encountered anything like this before," Su Xi thought about it seriously before continuing: "I should be able to refuse, I have heard a saying that 'the big husband does something and does not do something', although we are just little women, we should also have our own principles and bottom line."

"If you really need an outcome that is good for you, you can consider other methods, sometimes it is not that there is no other choice, it is just up to you whether you want to or not."

Su Rong was deeply touched when she heard this, and her depressed mood during this time suddenly brightened up at this time, and she thanked Su Xi with a smile.

The commotion outside the door was getting closer, and it wasn't long before the groom knocked on the bride's boudoir. Su Wenhan carried Su Rong on his back and sent her out of the house step by step, and also sent her to the Wang family.

Because the Wang family is not in the city, the sedan chair will be changed to a carriage when it goes out of the city, and it will be replaced by a sedan chair when it arrives in Mingtai Town, and the rest of the etiquette is not much different from when Su Xi got married.

Su Xi watched the sedan chair gradually move away, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Su Rong would also be happy.

It wasn't until the sedan chair was out of sight that Su Xi turned around and was about to go back, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Lu Youzhen standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.

"I knew you would come out to send your third sister to the sedan chair." Lu You really came to look for Su Xi, he came to Su Mansion early in the morning, but he couldn't enter the bride's boudoir, so he had to go to chat with his uncle.

Hearing that the groom was coming, he walked to the gate, he expected that Su Xi would send Su Rong out, and sure enough, he found Su Xi from the crowd at a glance.

When Su Xi saw Lu Youzhen, a look of surprise burst out in her eyes, and even she didn't realize that she thought of him like this, obviously they had only been separated for a day.

Because Mingtai Town is still some distance away from Sifang City, in order to catch up with the auspicious time, Su Rong went out a lot earlier than Su Xi, so it was not yet time to open the banquet at this time.

Su Xi pulled Lu Youzhen to her former boudoir, Lanxi Garden, and the layout in the room was still the same as before, and Pei's did not move at all.

After entering the room, Su Xi couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself into Lu Youzhen's arms, and said, "Lu Youzhen, I miss you so much." ”

Lu Youzhen also hugged Su Xi back, he buried his head in Su Xi's neck and shoulders, greedily absorbing the taste of Su Xi. Why doesn't he want Su Xi, last night he didn't have the beautiful child in his arms, he always slept and woke up, woke up and slept again, and he couldn't sleep steadily.

What's more, last night's ......

Thinking of last night's incident, Lu Youzhen was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

Su Xi felt something and asked him, "What's wrong?" Why do you have such an expression. ”

"No, it's nothing," Lu Youzhen shook his head, and deliberately changed the topic: "Why did you plop powder today?" In the past, it was rare to see you use incense powder. ”

As soon as she mentioned this, Su Xi was a little unhappy, she poked Lu Youzhen's chest, and said: "It's not to blame you, you're not there, I didn't sleep well last night, and when I got up in the morning, my eyes were dark, and I couldn't see anyone, so I had to ask Xianglan to give me some incense powder." ”

Lu Youzhen was happy to hear her say this, but she retorted: "Who told you to come back to live, and didn't let me follow." ”

"I'm here to send the third sister to get married, so that what will you become, people won't laugh at us."

Su Xi pursed her lips, she didn't care what others said, but her mother said that if she is a daughter-in-law, she can no longer be willful, and she must always think about her and her husband's reputation, otherwise once you make a man upset, no matter how much affection you have, you will have to grind it out.

Su Xi had no choice, she wanted to be with Lu Youzhen for a long time, so she had to follow the rules of this world. However, when she landed Youzhen in private, she was still the Su Xi who could laugh and make trouble.

Lu Youzhen frowned and didn't speak, he suddenly complained a little bit about Pei's family, why did he teach Su Xi female virtues, female rings and other things? Obviously, Su Xi, who was honest before, was already very good.

He asked Su Xi how she lived at her parents' house yesterday, and Su Xi talked a lot excitedly, almost from the time she returned to Su Mansion, she told Lu Youzhen one by one.

Especially the attitude of the Zhou Governor's family, Su Xi focused on depicting it, and asked Lu Youzhen what he thought about it.

"Views? What can you think? Lu Youzhen understood Governor Zhou's mind as soon as he heard it, "Zhou Hao is a very powerful person, and he can do it so obviously, but he just wants to tie the Su family to his boat." ”

"There won't be any problems." Su Xi asked worriedly.

"Not only will there be nothing to do in a short period of time, but it will be extremely beneficial to the Su family, but it will depend on how the father-in-law chooses in the future." Lu Youzhen saw that Su Xi was very interested, so he told her carefully.

Lu Youzhen said that judging from the incident that brought down Wu Chi, Zhou Hao must have a tough backstage in the capital, although Lu Youzhen doesn't know who that person is, it is nothing more than those adult princes.

Now that the capital is turbulent, the crown prince and the second prince are fighting-for-tat, and the rest of the princes are slightly weaker, and they are all dormant in secret, waiting for an opportunity to stir up the wind and rain.

The backer behind Wu Chi is Wu Ming, the confidant of the second prince, and the two are still cousins of the same sect for three generations, so Wu Chi is naturally the second prince's person.

can ask the second prince's subordinates to make room for him, and the people behind Zhou Hao are naturally of the same level.

It's not hard to guess, and you can imagine with a little knowledge of the situation. In comparison, Zhou Hao's attitude towards the Su family is even more interesting.

Money is naturally a major purpose of the Zhou family to befriend the Su family, no matter what you want to do, money is always indispensable, if the Su family is willing to take refuge, it is a steady stream of funds, enough for them to do many things.

In addition, valuing Su Wenhai's talent is probably a reason, even Lu Youzhen, after getting along with Su Wenhai, feels that as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, this eldest brother will definitely be able to earn a place in the court in the future.

However, these are not the main ones, the most important thing is that Su Xi married into the Lu family and married Lu Youzhen.

Su Xi was puzzled, Master Lu's vein was already white, and when it came to Lu Youzhen's concubine, he was 108,000 miles away from the Ningguo Mansion in the capital, Zhou Hao had a strong backer in the court, how could he look at Lu Youzhen.

Hearing Su Xi's question, Lu Youzhen asked her suspiciously: "Didn't I tell you that Concubine Zhen and my mother in the palace are sisters now?" ”

Su Xi grew his mouth in surprise, it is not enough for an emperor's favorite minister to be an uncle, and now there is another aunt who is the emperor's concubine, although this aunt is only a concubine, no wonder Lu You is really married, and Concubine Zhen also rewarded something.

Su Xi said: "Are there any other relatives over there?" She didn't want to be stimulated all the time, so she was just surprised for a while.

Lu Youzhen replied: "My grandfather is a household servant, and there are also a few aunts who are concubines, I have never met them, and I have no contacts, I am only close to my uncle, and Concubine Zhen has only occasionally sent people to send things, and I don't have much contact." ”

Su Xi nodded and said that she knew, anyway, Lu Youzhen's attitude was her attitude, Lu Youzhen only interacted with her uncle, so she only interacted with her uncle.

Returning to the original topic, Lu Youzhen continued to explain: "Zhou Hao handed me a greeting post on the eve of our marriage, but I refused, and there were more He Yi than others, presumably he knew that Concubine Zhen was my aunt at that time." ”

There are not a few princes who are allied with each other, especially the princes with average strength, and it is not impossible for Zhou Hao to want to attract a strong reinforcement for his master by befriending Lu Youzhen.

Lu Youzhen and Concubine Zhen have never met, so naturally they can't talk about any feelings, but it's nothing for outsiders to find him if they don't know, he doesn't care about himself, he doesn't want to refuse directly, who can trouble him.

But the Zhou family now has a clear attitude to pull the Su family into the water, but Lu Youzhen is a little worried, but fortunately, Master Su has a clear mind and does not agree to marry at will, it seems that he has to go and talk to his father-in-law.

Thinking of it, Lu Youzhen took Su Xi and asked Master Su to chat for a while. Master Su was already suspicious of fraud, but after listening to Lu Youzhen's words, he became even more determined to have less involvement with the Zhou family, which made Lu Youzhen feel a lot more relieved.
