Chapter 44: Finally Liberated
Su Yuyan sent Qi Qian away, and then looked at the street, but she still didn't see Zhao Linxian's shadow, she didn't think Zhao Linxian was the kind of person who was untrustworthy, but why didn't she come!
Qian Shumei saw through Su Yuyan's thoughts at a glance, and took out the box to Su Yuyan: "This is your Zhao Linxian gave it to you, I don't know why he didn't give it to you personally, as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw him come out, and then handed this to me." ”
Su Yuyan was dumbfounded: "You said you saw Zhao Linxian go out of the mansion?" ”
"That's right! came out of your house with an ugly face, I thought he had a quarrel with Su Yuanwai! So I didn't even dare to give you this gift in front of everyone just now. ”
"It's over, Zhao Linxian must have seen it."
Qian Shumei didn't know what Su Yuyan was talking about: "What did you see?" It won't be that I saw that you and Qi Qian were still disconnected! ”
"What is the broken thread, I haven't connected with him, and I just said a few words." Su Yuyan didn't think about this at all, but just now Zhao Linxian came, she must have seen her fangs and claws! And her mother is about to be demoted to a concubine, oh my God! Who wants to marry such a family.
Zhao Linxian must have disliked her and wanted to die, so he left.
Su Yuyan really wants to cry without tears!
Qian Shumei didn't know what happened, and she couldn't comfort Su Yuyan, so she could only give her a warm hug.
On the other hand, Qiao Shi rarely cleaned up herself beautifully, and she also put on rouge and gouache, and she couldn't remember how long ago the last time she put on makeup.
The Xu family is ready to get their wish and is planning to cook some good dishes in the evening and celebrate as a family. Joe appeared in full costume.
Seeing Qiao's appearance, Xu's heart chuckled, and her smile froze on her face, remembering that when she first saw Qiao's, Qiao's was still a bright and kind woman, holding Qiao's hand, passing through the front, she felt that it was a fairy descending to earth.
In the following years, Qiao's was tortured into an inhuman shape, thin, and sick, but the most important thing is that she didn't clean up by herself, so she no longer had the demeanor of the year.
Su Rongchang was still obsessed with Qiao's appearance, even if he was jealous of her, he went to her room every once in a while, and after Qiao's gave up on himself, Su Rongchang snubbed her, and even a little disgusted.
Now that Qiao's is dressed up again, Su Rongchang's eyes are a little straight, he really loved Qiao's at the beginning, he thought, if Qiao's could always serve him well, he wouldn't have done things so desperately.
"Master, can you go to my courtyard for dinner tonight, this may be the last time we will have dinner together as husband and wife." There was no joy or sadness on Qiao's face, in fact, she was a weak woman, and there was no way to resist anything.
Of course, Xu's refused, she was afraid that Qiao's dressing up like this was to seduce Su Rongchang: "I don't think it's necessary!" After the master opens the ancestral hall, you will be a concubine, so stay in the house now. ”
But Su Rongchang was still moved by compassion and said to Xu: "I'll go to Zilan at night." ”
Xu's mouth opened in disbelief: "Master, you ......"
"That's it, Zilan, we haven't had a good meal as a husband and wife for many years, don't blame me for being ruthless, it's really useless for you to take the name of your wife, but you don't have to worry, I won't drive you and Yu Yan away." Su Rongchang was still a little emotional, looking at Qiao's appearance.
Qiao Shi nodded, and then went back to her courtyard, she wanted to entertain Su Rongchang well.
Xu Shi said unhappily in his heart: "Master, what do you mean, did you see Qiao's dress up with flowers, and you were moved again." ”
Su Rongchang felt that the Xu family was making trouble unreasonably, what was not moving, even if Qiao's was a concubine, it was still his concubine, he went to eat in his concubine's courtyard, what was there: "Don't worry so much, you will be a wife soon, you have to show the bearing of being a housewife, you see all these years, I have been staying in your house, what has Qiao's said?" ”
Xu was choked speechless, and only cursed Qiao's vixen in his heart, thinking that Qiao must have tried his best to make Su Rongchang change his mind and not let her be a concubine!
Anyway, there are people arranged by her in the courtyard of the big house, if there is any trouble, she will immediately kill a pair of children with her, I don't believe that in Su Rongchang's heart, an old and decrepit Qiao family can compare to a pair of children and have status.
Thinking about it like this, Xu didn't say more.
Su Yuyan and Qian Shumei went to the courtyard together, Qian Shumei went to say goodbye to Qiao's family, and when she saw Qiao's makeup, she exclaimed in her heart, no wonder her aunt said that Aunt Qiao was one of the best beauties in Xunzhen back then, and when she saw it today, it was true.
Qiao Shi said to Su Yuyan: "Today is your birthday, you can go to the night market in the evening!" ”
Su Yuyan felt that her mother was a little abnormal, but she couldn't say why, so she didn't accept Qiao's proposal: "Today is my daughter's birthday, and my daughter should be by her mother's side, anyway, Zhao Linxian is not here, I don't want to go to the night market." ”
Qiao Shi took a deep breath: "Sister, let's go to the night market!" Mother wants to be alone with your dad for a while, is that okay? ”
When Su Yuyan heard this, she felt even more that something was wrong, over the years, others didn't know, she knew, how desperate Qiao was for Su Rongchang, how could she suddenly be alone?
Qian Shumei originally planned to say goodbye and go home, but when she saw that Qiao's wanted Su Yuyan to go to the night market, she accompanied Su Yuyan to the night market.
Su Yuyan still remembers that yesterday Zhao Linxian clearly promised her to celebrate her birthday together, and then came to put out the lanterns at night, and now there is no shadow, but he can't be blamed for missing the appointment, there is a mess in his own house, how many people are willing to come up, don't you have a headache?
Qian Shumei saw that Su Yuyan was unhappy, so she said: "What I know is your birthday today, and I don't know how much I think you have been wronged!" Be happy. I'm about to get married, and there is basically no chance to accompany you to the night market in the future, in fact, I am also very panicked, that family matter is set by my father, I don't know anything about his person, and a stranger is about to get along for a lifetime, do you understand this feeling? ”
Su Yuyan nodded: "I understand a little, then let's not be unhappy, let's talk about it later!" Be happy now. ”
After speaking, he went crazy with Qian Shumei.
The two of them went to a stall selling masks, Su Yuyan took a mask of a jade-faced fox and put it on, originally to scare Qian Shumei, who knew that it was Zhao Linxian's handsome and indifferent face that caught her eye, she felt that she must have seen it wrong, how could Zhao Linxian be there! Blinked his eyes and looked again, it was indeed him.
I only heard his voice sound: "Boss, how much is this mask, I bought it." ”
"Three copper plates."
Zhao Linxian gave the copper plate, Su Yuyan took off the mask and handed it to Zhao Linxian, the corners of Zhao Linxian's mouth rose slightly: "I bought it if you like it, give it to you." ”
Su Yuyan's heart warmed: "Actually, you have already given the birthday gift." ”
"The pear hairpin is too shabby, don't dislike it."
"I won't dislike it, I like it very much, you see, I have it all on my head."
Zhao Linxian took a closer look, and did bring the pear wood hairpin, thinking of her appearance this morning, and now she is such a heartless smile, she is really a woman with a big heart.
"Aren't you going to put lanterns? Let's go! Put the lanterns and go. Zhao Linxian went home in the afternoon and sold all the silk at home, only to remember that Su Yuyan asked him to put lanterns, and returned to the village and continued to come to the town.
Su Yuyan saw that Zhao Linxian still remembered that she said that she would put the lanterns, and she was still happy in her heart, "Let's call Shumei to go together!" ”
"Miss Qian saw me coming, so she went back first." Zhao Linxian looked at her intently and said.
"Oh." Su Yuyan's brain is now filled with joy, Qian Shumei will go back when she goes back!
Proper heavy color and light friends!
Besides, Qiao's dinner was prepared very casually, but there was a jar of daughter red on the table.
After Su Rongchang arrived, he saw Qiao's old but still good-looking face reflected in the candlelight, and then saw the jar of wine, and felt a little touched in his heart.
I still remember drinking with Qiao's newlywed, it was also such a scene, Qiao's shyly sat at the table, there was a jar of daughter red on the table, he was very drunk that night, and felt that his life was very proud, although he was not admitted to the examination and showed his strength in the officialdom, but he could get the favor of Master Qiao, and marry Qiao's who was so beautiful as a flower to himself, it can be said that he has two of the three proudest things in life.
However, although Master Qiao took a fancy to Su Rongchang at that time, he still guarded against him in everything, which was also a reason for his heart to be distorted.
If you see your daughter red again, it is not at the wedding banquet of marrying your daughter, but Qiao's use to beg for herself, and she really has a special taste in her heart.
Qiao Shi poured Su Rongchang a glass of wine: "Rongchang, do you remember when we drank before?" ”
Su Rongchang walked over, picked up the wine and drank it all: "Remember, when I entered the door of your Qiao family, how many people envied me!" ”
Qiao Shi took a deep breath: "My father really appreciates you. ”
Su Rongchang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't think that I don't know your father's mind, if your brother is sick or weak, he can look down on me, he just wants me Su Rongchang to be one of his dogs and help your Qiao family keep this family business." ”
"When you say that, don't you misunderstand my father." Qiao's can't deny that her father really hoped that Su Rongchang would help the Qiao family keep their family business, so he chose such a poor scholar-born talent, but it is not a matter of saying that her father treats Su Rongchang as a dog.
Su Rongchang poured himself a glass of wine and drank it suddenly: "You don't have to argue anything for your father, anyway, now the Qiao family's family business is in my hands, as long as you serve me well, don't cry and mourn every day, you will be as beautiful as today in the future, and I will not treat your mother and daughter too badly." ”
Qiao Shi sneered in his heart, hating his teeth itching, let him hell with him! How could he continue to serve him. She picked up the wine glass, drank it down, and silently thought in her heart, "I can finally be free......
