Chapter 51: Give the Money
Su Jiaojiao looked at the bronze mirror and pursed her lips and smiled.
"Mother, I'll tell you not to worry, you see, this is called guarding the clouds and seeing the moon. Now that my aunt is far away from Guangling, my grandfather's family is gone, and my father treats his wife day by day, and even all the people in this house worship high and low. Seeing that I will marry into the Seven Kings Mansion in the future, I will raise my eyebrows again. Look who dares to show you a face! "Su Jiaojiao put a golden hairpin in her hair, the bronze mirror beauty is suitable, and the end is good-looking tight." My daughter is waiting for someone to call me, Mother, and you will go out with me in a moment. The seventh prince is here, and his father does not dare to be presumptuous. β
Mrs. Hua's fingers trembled a little excitedly, and she put her on Su Jiaojiao's shoulder, "Good daughter, only our mother and daughter are the best in the whole house." Your uncompetitive brother has been out of the house since he married his daughter-in-law, and he can't get back to his home to see his mother for a year, and he is still the most intimate daughter. β
Not long after, there was really a little girl who came to pass the statue's password and asked Su Jiaojiao to go to the main hall.
Su Jiaojiao held Mrs. Hua's arm, and the lotus step moved lightly, with an arrogant face. The feeling of being bullied in recent days made her very unhappy, but now with Rong Hao's protection, she has swept it clean all at once.
Rong Hao had already sat down in the main hall, Gonggong Li was behind him, Su Xiang was sitting on a chair under him, and the two were chatting. Seeing Su Jiaojiao come in, Rong Hao's eyes lit up suddenly, "Miss Jiaojiao, please sit down, Mrs. Hua, don't be polite, come on, sit down." He specially pointed out the location next to Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao turned over shyly and sat on the chair.
Rong Hao smiled and said to Mrs. Hua: "Mrs. Hua, my father has already given me and the daughter of the Su family to marry before, this king has been busy with official business for a while, coupled with Ji Ming's affairs, he has not had time to think about his marriage, and now that everything has settled, this king also has to consider himself, after all, this king is not young, and his father and mother are also waiting to hold their grandchildren. β
said with joy, and Mrs. Hua was even happier when she heard it. She took out a handkerchief and symbolically wiped her tears, "Back to the prince, I won't tell you that Jiaojiao has always been the pearl of my lord and me." Now I am naturally happy to be able to marry into the palace concubine, but I am very reluctant. β
Rong Hao smiled slightly, "Isn't Mrs. Hua worried that I will abuse the concubine of your mansion?" The concubine of your mansion is a noble girl in Beijing, and this king knows that she has countless suitors. I don't dare to slack off. β
Mrs. Hua heard that this prince would not neglect her daughter in the future, and a stone in her heart was finally put down, when she came before, she was worried that the seventh prince would hold a grudge because of Su Jiaojiao's complaint yesterday, but now it seems that not only does she not hold a grudge, but she is very grateful to Su Jiaojiao.
"Lord Wang, you can be good to my daughter, and the concubine can't be more grateful. I wonder if the prince can have a good day to set? The concubine is also good to prepare a dowry, ten miles of red makeup, and marry her daughter beautifully. Mrs. Hua had a smile on her face, because she thought that her daughter would soar in the future, and she would be able to stand up straight and speak in Su Mansion, and suddenly two blushes swelled on her face.
Su Jiaojiao kept her head down, sitting timidly under Rong Hao, after all, this is her own marriage, her father and mother are still discussing, she is not a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and it is not easy for her to interject. But she was very anxious, this prince was so handsome and elegant, she couldn't wait to enter the cave room tonight.
At this moment, I heard that things seemed to be certain, and I was a little surprised for a while. How could it be done so easily, I knew it was so easy, and I went to the Seven Princes' Mansion as soon as possible to shake out the ugly thing about Su Xia's little cheap hooves, and I would have given birth to a son-in-law for the prince a long time ago.
Su Jiaojiao pondered for a moment, raised her head, the small gold lock on the gilt collar on Furong's neck swayed slightly, and glanced at Rong Hao affectionately, "Lord Wang, you just came to the door to propose marriage, the little woman really couldn't believe it." I always think that you and the sixth sister are very good, why do you like me? β
Rong Hao picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "The so-called fair lady, a gentleman." Miss Su is a famous lady in Beijing, proficient in poetry and songs, dancing and playing the piano, this king may fancy her cuteness when he marries a side concubine, but marrying a concubine, or thinking about being the right person, Miss Su, what do you say? β
Su Jiaojiao blushed slightly and nodded, "What the prince said is right. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and bowed his head.
Su Xiang is still a little worthless for Su Xia, although his sixth daughter is not a concubine, but she has followed this prince for more than a year for no reason, and now she is really sorry for her when she says that she will break up. "Since the prince insists on marrying the concubine in my house, that night can only be like this. Madam, from now on, you will start preparing for the dowry, you must be worthy of the status of the princess, and don't let people look down on my Prime Minister's Mansion and the Seven Princes' Mansion. β
There is no need for him to say this, Mrs. Hua has already snatched it, "That's natural, my precious daughter, I will definitely marry her off beautifully." At that time, I gave her all the dowry I brought from my mother's family, and I had to add a few more houses and fields to her, which must be worthy of the status of the noble of the Seven Princes' Mansion. β
In Su Xia's small courtyard, Mama Wang came panting.
Su Xia was embroidering in front of the embroidery, one and the lotus embroidered crookedly, it looked like a chrysanthemum, Su Xia looked at it, how did she feel ugly. She wrinkled her nose and looked back at Cuihua standing behind her, "Cuihua, your hands are really too skillful. Look at my broken hands, no matter how you embroider it, it can't be a ghost. β
Cuihua saw that her embroidery was really ugly, and she couldn't comfort her, "Miss, you have been in trouble since you were a child, and no one has taught you." Don't rush, take your time, you can definitely embroider it. β
Mama Wang looked at the leisurely appearance of the two of them, and trotted to Su Xia, "Oh, my sixth young lady, why do you still have the heart to embroider here?" The seventh prince has already come to the mansion to propose marriage to our old man and wife. It's not you who mentioned it! β
Su Xia didn't raise his head, lowered his head and continued to study the tricks, "Well, so what?" β
Mama Wang is not worth it for her, "Miss, you have been with him for more than a year, everyone in the capital knows that you are not innocent, he doesn't want you now, how will you marry in the future!" This prince is really wolf-hearted, after eating, he wipes his mouth, wipes it dry and cleans, it is not as good as his uncle, and his uncle finally welcomed the young lady into the door and made a concubine. Alas......"
After scolding, he realized that Cuihua was Rong Hao's girl to Su Xia, and he was so shocked that he covered his mouth suddenly.
As soon as Su Xia looked up, she saw Mama Wang's shocked and uncertain expression, a little funny, and a little distressed. Now in this prime minister's house, it is this old lady who is really for her own good, she has run away all these years, this grandmother has suffered a lot, and now as soon as she comes back, she still doesn't want to come over and fight for herself.
"Mama, don't worry. Since Cuihua is with me, she is my person, and she won't chew the root of her tongue outside. You don't have to scruple to speak in front of her. Also, the seventh prince doesn't want me, isn't there still a second prince? I, Su Xia, am not very ugly, and I'm afraid that I won't find a man. Su Xia sneered, lowered her head and continued to embroider.
Cuihua also accosted, "Yes, Mama, don't worry, Miss has her own way." β
Mama Wang listened to her master and servant very thoughtful, and she didn't want to say anything. After all, a girl's name is very important. Now that Su Xia has lost her reputation for a while, and she has lost her lover, it is not a matter that she has been adding fuel to the fire next to her, is it possible to let Su Xia go to the front yard to quarrel with her uncle at this moment, or kneel and cry with the Seventh Prince? That's too shameless and skinless.
Su Jiaojiao and Mrs. Hua returned to the East Courtyard, and their faces were red with excitement.
"Mother, look, I'm really going to enter the palace to be a princess! You are the mother-in-law of the Seventh Prince, if he ascends to the throne in the future, then you are the mother-in-law of the emperor! Hahaha. Su Jiaojiao wrung the handkerchief in her hand, and her excessive happiness made her unable to sit down, so she walked around the room.
Mrs. Hua took a sip of jasmine tea, "Haha, raise your eyebrows and exhale your eyebrows!" You don't see your father's face today, hmph, he's still thinking about his little foxy cousin. If you want to marry that concubine into the palace, don't even think about it! I don't want to think about what the identity of the seventh prince is, how can he marry a concubine and enter the mansion to insult the royal faΓ§ade. β
Su Jiaojiao covered her lips, "Mother, have you taken a good look at the Seventh Prince?" Although I have seen him a few times, I dare not look directly at him every time, but my daughter looks good today, she is really handsome! Thinking about Rong Hao's face, his heart suddenly burst into joy, "It's a shame that you didn't marry me to Concubine Hua's eldest cousin, that fat man, I feel greasy and disgusting when I see it." β
Mrs. Hua has always looked down on Concubine Hua, and she even looks down on her son, so she echoed at the moment, "Yes, not only is she ugly, but she is also stupid." The Seventh Prince, who calculated, calculated his throne into it. My daughter won't marry such a mediocrity. β
The more the mother and daughter thought about it, the happier they became, and they ate a lot more than usual at noon.
And Su Xiang, after thinking about it, decided not to go to Su Xia. After all, it is normal for people to be unhappy in the yard at this moment, and if they go over at this moment, it will definitely make her worse and make her even more sad.
He raised his head to the sky and sighed, "Alas, cousin, your life is hard, why is it so bad to give birth to a daughter now?" thought that she could marry into the palace and live the rest of her life well. Now that my reputation has become stinky, and I haven't married out, it seems that I can only retire in my prime minister's mansion. Now Jiaojiao is going to marry the Seventh Prince, and in the future, Hua's will definitely be more unpopular in the mansion, and it will definitely be difficult to tolerate our daughter, alas, it's really hard. β
This hard-working Su Xia eats well and sleeps well. After the night fell, there was also the handsome guy who was like jade and had a private meeting over the wall, and no matter how you look at it, you can't see the slightest hardship.
Under the candlelight, Su Xia pinched a piece of candied fruit and stuffed it into Rong Hao's mouth, "Lord Wang, they all say that my life is hard, do you think I have a hard life?" β
Rong Hao smiled and took the candied fruit into his mouth, and took Su Xia's fingertips in his mouth, "You don't have to die, someone helped you prepare that ten miles of red makeup, I think you have a good fate." β
The two looked at each other and smiled.
