situation
After Su Pingbao thanked him, he looked at Su Yue for a moment, and then said with a slightly unnatural face: "Ah Yue, you are the same age as Ah Mo, and it is time to discuss marriage this year, my uncle is no longer there, and there are only grandma and father at home...... But they, if Ah Yue is not at ease, can I find a matchmaker for you to inquire? Su Pingrui looked at Su Yue and said sincerely, although he was a little embarrassed, he really wanted to take this matter.
Su Pingbao thought well, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, in the clan, cousins are also brothers, Su Yue has no parents to handle it, and grandma and uncle are unreliable, although it is a bit more than a bit for his cousin to handle Su Yue's marriage, it is not unreasonable.
However, Su Yue was frightened by his words, and was directly choked by saliva, looking at the sincere young man, 10,000 alpacas suddenly jumped in his heart......
"Cough, don't bother Master Su about this matter, I am here for Ah Yue's family affairs." Mu Jingsheng, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and made a gesture.
Su Yue's cough, which had originally calmed down, suddenly became violent again, but Mu Jingsheng seemed to be nobody, and reached out to pat her on the back, the intimate and natural movements combined with the previous words, Su Pingbao still didn't understand, although he had no intention of doing mundane things, but he was not stupid, such an obvious action was naturally visible.
After understanding what Mu Jingsheng meant, Su Pingbao looked at this strange man carefully for the first time, although he saw that Mu Jingsheng and Su Yue's sister and brother were very close and familiar, but he was still subconsciously uneasy, he had already said that he would protect his sister and brother in the future, so he would not just talk casually. For the guilt and apology of Su Yue's sister and brother, he will definitely repay it slowly and make amends with his own practical actions.
Mu Jingsheng received the young man's scrutiny, and he didn't have any expression, he was already standing beside Su Yue with a steady expression, patting the little girl's back without hurry, arrogance or impatience, as for the young man's scrutiny, he really didn't take it to heart, he stayed on the side for so long, he also knew what Su Pingbao's identity was, and what the relationship was with Su Yue's sister and brother, it was not a role worth caring too much about, Su Pingbao couldn't be Su Yue's master.
Su Yue relieved herself and hurriedly explained: "Brother Lobby, you don't have to worry about me, I have my own plans, don't worry." ”
Su Pingbao silently retracted his gaze when he heard this, now it is not good for him to continue to look at Mu Jingsheng, it is good to ask someone to inquire in the future, if it is a good person, he will not stop it, but looking at Su Yue's defenseless appearance towards the man in front of him, Su Pingbao couldn't help but worry, thinking that even if he stopped it, it would not be easy to do it...... When the matter at home is settled and he returns to the academy, he will ask someone to inquire about it, and it is necessary to take precautions.
"Okay, Ah Yue, remember to find Brother Lobby if there is anything in the future, I will definitely not ignore it, I said that I want to protect you, I will definitely support you and make the decision, and I will not let people bully you." Su Pingbao said seriously, he knew that he actually had no affection and weight in Su Yue's sister and brother, and now he only hoped that the sister and brother would think of him in the future, give him a chance to compensate, and ease the relationship between relatives.
Su Yue understood what he wanted to compensate, so she smiled and said, "Okay, in the future, Brother Lobby will inevitably have the title of the gold list, and when the time comes, our sister and brother will not have to be protected by Brother Lobby." "I don't know if Su Pingrui can be named Su Yue on the gold list, but there should be a good chance to take the exam, if there is no talent, Mrs. Su and Boss Su will not bet on this unique treasure, and she will not turn a blind eye to this help, not to mention that this young man is still upright, and there is nothing wrong with coming and going.
In the final analysis, Su Yue has been able to integrate into this world a lot, and the way of thinking is slowly getting used to it, Su Pingbao, the cousin, if it is the original world, Su Yue will definitely not pay much attention to it, at most give some face. But the weight of clans and families in this world is extremely heavy, and Su Yue can't ignore this aspect of communication and human contacts, especially such a close relative within three generations, it is really a relationship that breaks bones and tendons.
Therefore, under the first impression and preliminary understanding of Su Pingbao, Su Yue is willing to make deep friends, and it is always better to have one more relative who can help her than one more enemy. And even if Su Yue doesn't think about herself, she has to think about Su Pingrui, Su Pingrui will inevitably take the road of the imperial examination in the future, and filial piety is a knife hanging over the head of a scholar, and she can't let the reputation of unfilial piety have a chance to fall on her younger brother's head.
"By the words of my cousin, I will work hard, I will be disturbed today, I will go back first, and wait for these things...... When the family affairs are taken care of, I will come to see you. Su Pingbao smiled, and when he heard Su Yue's words, he suddenly understood that if he wanted to protect his sister Su Mo and Su Yue's sister and brother, he had to be strong himself, and the way he could be strong was through the imperial examination, and he had to work harder! It's just that when I look back and think about things at home, my ambition turns into bitterness again.
Su Yue nodded: "Okay, Brother Lobby can come at any time, Ah Rui will send Brother Lobby." ”
When Su Pingrui heard this, he immediately stepped forward and put on a posture of escort, the little boy looked serious, which made people love it. Su Pingbao nodded at Su Yue and Mu Jingsheng, and then followed Su Pingrui out, as soon as the two left, Su Yue turned her head and glared at Mu Jingsheng.
This girl, she just confessed today and she got so much! She hasn't agreed yet, so what's the matter with declaring her sovereignty herself?!
Mu Jingsheng looked at her staring appearance, and felt that it was not okay to be cute, he knew in his heart that this was the little girl who was annoyed by his words, but he did not regret it, since he had already expressed his intentions, he naturally had to chase after her, strike while the iron was hot, and turn the little girl home as soon as possible.
"Be careful when you speak in the future, I didn't promise anything." In the end, Su Yue was defeated under his tender gaze, and turned her head and snorted angrily. was originally quite stable and reliable, but today's showdown is so tender and watery, it's really embarrassing!
Mu Jingsheng naturally agreed, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't say it, just try to make you like me." ”
Su Yue's face turned crimson instantly when she heard this, she stretched out her hand and pushed Mu Jingsheng who was standing in front of her a step away, hurriedly turned around and ran out, if she didn't run, she was afraid that Mu Jingsheng would say a few more words, and she would be abducted by someone in minutes???
Mu Jingsheng smiled with his eyebrows, looking at the back of the little girl, he was very satisfied, it seems that he should have taken a step forward successfully, well, work harder.
The moment she ran out and saw Su Pingrui, Su Yue came back to her senses in frustration, she should send Mu Jingsheng away together! Now that the "stranger" is not at home, he has no reason to stay at their house, but this will be when she just ran out, and if she turns back, she will definitely be embarrassed again, Su Yue was undecided for a while, and she didn't know what to do.
Mu Jingsheng had already taken the initiative to walk out silently, said goodbye to the sisters and brothers as usual, touched Su Pingrui's head before leaving, smiled at Su Yue, and then left cleanly. This made Su Yue stunned, it turned out that people didn't want to rely on it anymore...... It was she who misunderstood.
...... [Mujia] ......
Zhao Yingying sat in the eaves in front of the hall by leaning on Mu Jingfang, and Mu Jingjiu went to stay in front of the courtyard as always, just like the old woman who returned home.
Zhao Yingying couldn't help but feel funny every time she saw him like that, but she was always warm, some people in the family were worried, some people were waiting, she had never experienced such a feeling before...... It is also because of this warmth that Zhao Yingying rarely felt a bunch of grooves in her heart, but she didn't spit out half a word.
"Big brother! Why are you back so late? Is something wrong? Mu Jingjiu's shouts of surprise came from the courtyard gate, and there were chattering questions.
Mu Jingxiao and Zhao Yingying looked at each other and smiled, silently moved the place, and entered the hall to put the dishes and chopsticks on the table. After Mu Jingsheng finished washing his hands and Mu Jingjiu finished chattering, the dishes and chopsticks had been placed on the table, the rice was served, and the family belonged to each other, and tacitly picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Zhao Yingying and Mu Jingxiao ate quietly throughout the whole process, Mu Jingjiu couldn't help but ask questions from time to time, mainly because Mu Jingsheng had been gone for a long time today, and he really wanted to know the progress of his eldest brother, so he couldn't help it. Fortunately, Mu Jingsheng was in a good mood, but it was not like usual, a silent or perfunctory "um" sounded, although it was a word-saving answer mode, but several people probably understood that there was progress today.
Mu Jingjiu, who got the answer, was happy, and his chattering mouth finally stopped, but Zhao Yingying and Mu Jingxiao didn't say a word, but they knew it in their hearts, which was entirely thanks to Mu Jingjiu who had the courage to ask questions.
And after Su Yue went out with Mu Jingsheng, she quickly recovered to prepare dinner, and after eating with Su Pingrui, she took turns to wash and sleep.
It's just that before the little guy returned to his room after taking a bath, he ran to Su Yue and asked cautiously, "Is Sister going to marry Brother Mu?" ”
At that time, Su Yue was stunned, she never thought that the little guy would think of this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, if she answered yes, wouldn't she have acquiesced in her promise to Mu Jingsheng? So why should she be like this? If not, she does have a good impression of Mu Jingsheng, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come together in the future.
"Ari, why do you think so?" Su Yue didn't give an answer in the end, but asked rhetorically.
Su Pingrui thought for a while and said, "Brother Mu said today that he is responsible for your family affairs...... Isn't that what it means to marry a sister? ”
Su Pingrui is young, but he doesn't know anything, and now he is twelve years old, and in the environment of hearing and seeing, children of this age in the village basically know what it is to discuss relatives, marry a wife, etc., although most of them are still vague concepts, but they have a basic understanding. Therefore, today Su Pingbao drank Mu Jingsheng's short dialogue, and Su Pingrui tasted the inner taste.
"You little clever ghost, Sister A's family affairs are not in a hurry, you don't have to worry, as for whether it will be related to your Brother Mu, Sister has no way to tell you now, because Sister is not sure if she can stay with him for the rest of her life. Ari, you have to understand that marriage is a very important thing, you can't affect your judgment because of external factors, if you want to start a family in the future, you must be good with the person you like, who can support each other and stay together for a lifetime. If you don't really want to live your life with each other, just to live, then Sister Ah is unwilling to get married, don't worry about this, Sister Ah knows it in her heart. Since Su Yue knew that the little guy understood these things, he didn't hide it, and said his thoughts frankly.
In her opinion, these things are inevitable processes in everyone's life, and she should not deceive Su Pingrui because he is still young, let alone perfunctory, but should teach him well, so that he has a clear and definite understanding is right, so that there will be no misunderstanding of this aspect in the future. She has seen a lot of news about children being bullied before, a large part of the reason is that parents do not have a good objective attitude to popularize knowledge for their children, and they dare not educate them because of their face, which has caused bad consequences.
Of course, Su Yue is just letting Su Pingrui understand what kind of marriage is good, and she will not abruptly popularize sex education for the little guy, she is also embarrassed to talk about these things. Fortunately, Su Pingrui is a boy, and he is wiser than his peers, and he actually understands many things in his own heart. All Su Yue has to do is to make sure that he understands the truth, and many truths Su Yue only needs to let him have an accurate cognition.
Su Pingrui listened to Su Yue's words, although he didn't understand a little bit about what he said about staying together for a lifetime, but he knew the other meanings, his sister needed to confirm whether Brother Mu was worth entrusting for life before deciding whether to marry or not. Su Pingrui supports his sister's decision, although Brother Mu is very good to him, and he also likes Brother Mu very much, but for his sister, Brother Mu is not enough, and the most important thing in his heart is only his sister.
"I know, sister, I won't talk nonsense, no matter what decision you make, I will support you." Su Pingrui said with a smile.
Su Yue smiled when she heard this: "Well, you support Sister Ah so much, Sister Ah is very happy, Ah Rui, Sister Ah has her own reasons no matter what she does, you don't have to worry too much now, study hard and practice martial arts." Only when I grow up can I support Sister A, and no one will dare to bully Sister at that time. ”
When Su Pingrui heard this, he nodded seriously: "Sister, I will protect you, I will support you, and I will not let people bully Sister." ”
"Okay, Sister believes in you, okay, go back to the house and sleep." Su Yue looked at the little guy's serious little appearance, smiled and touched his head.
Su Pingrui answered, and then hugged Su Yue with a smile and ran back to the house, Su Yue looked at his naughty appearance and couldn't help laughing.
The courtyard of Su Yue's house is warm and warm, but the atmosphere of the Su family's old house tonight is obviously depressing, although it is calm and quiet, but the atmosphere is obviously wrong. After Su Pingbao went back, he didn't question Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su, but silently went to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the hall to eat as usual, and after washing, he went back to his room to study as usual.
When Su Yue's family came out, Su Pingbao had already thought about the situation of the Su family, and he also understood that no matter who he questioned today or whose fault he was at, it was useless at this time, unless he could grasp the real right to speak in the family, his words would be useful, otherwise, in addition to making the family more and more noisy, there would be no change at all, he had never been so depressed as today, and he had never been so sober and self-aware as today.
And Su Pingbao also figured it out, the only thing he can do now, what he must do, is the imperial examination, and he must make a name for himself in the spring examination this year. At the same time, no matter how bad Su Mo's family affairs were, he could promise a rural family, and Mrs. Su and Boss Su could also achieve effective control, and at that time, he was qualified to fulfill the promise to Su Yue's sister and brother today, and now he has nothing and can't do anything......
If Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su really beat the main sister and brother again, Su Pingbao knew in his heart that he would still be kept in the dark, if he was at home, they would naturally not do anything out of the ordinary, this Su Pingbao knew, when he was in front of him, his grandmother and father had always been friendly and friendly, and never showed half a bad point, if it wasn't for Su Mo's incident, he saw it with his own eyes today, and listened to what his uncle said, he couldn't believe it was true.
Turning the scroll, Su Pingbao took a deep breath and suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and after quietly calming down his mood, he began to read the book as always. It's just that the look in the young man's eyes is very different from the past, in the past, he was so focused on reading, but it was only focused, but now there is persistence in that concentration.
Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su knew that Su Pingbao had gone to Li's house, and in the afternoon, the mother and son had already summed it up, and the words were set, so they waited for Su Pingbao to speak, and the mother and son played this scene well. It can only be said that once a person has been disguised for a long time, he is reluctant to take off the mask. What's more, after pretending for so many years, the mother and son are also used to it, and they never thought of giving up concealment and disguise in front of Su Pingbao, and subconsciously wanted to maintain their face and maintain their previous image.
I didn't think that Su Pingbao didn't say anything, and it didn't look any different from usual. But the mother and son felt hairy in their hearts at the same time, as if something was wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong. In the end, they didn't care, and after a few words, the mother and son went back to the house.
In their eyes, Su Pingbao is a grandson, a son, and a junior who has always been dominated, and he will not be counted on his head no matter how he calculates. Moreover, Su Pingbao has always been sensible and filial, how could they never have thought that Su Pingbao had already made his own decision and was very disappointed in them. The most easily disappointed people in this world are people who were originally full of hope, and the most chilling thing is the moment when a disguised flawless person like Mrs. Su's mother and son was torn off their masks, Su Pingbao would be in such a state today, and the most was because of the result of subverting his impression of his family.
