Chapter 84: Cannon Fodder's Wife (2)
Yue Xuan not only promoted forsythia to be an aunt, but also promoted several other maids, and the whole yard was lively at this moment.
After Mrs. Su got the news, her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly rushed to Yiyuan angrily, but saw that her daughter-in-law was picking someone, so she was angry, "Yue Xuan! What the hell are you doing?"
Yue Xuan raised his eyelids, got up from the rattan chair unhurriedly, and blessed his body obediently, "Mother." ”
"Mother? Do you still have my mother in your eyes? What are you doing here?" Mrs. Su was angry and angry at Yue Xuan.
Yue Xuan's face was innocent, with tears in the corners of his eyes, "Mother can't tolerate me?" If so, the daughter-in-law leaves. As he spoke, he made a gesture to leave.
"No way!" A trace of panic flashed in Mrs. Su's eyes, and she hurriedly stopped her, and coaxed in a soft tone, "Mother didn't mean that." It's just that Wei Ran is not here, why are you adding so many women to his backyard? And as a wife, don't you want to block yourself?"
"I don't think so." Yue Xuan saw that Mrs. Su's face froze, and then said, "The daughter-in-law thinks that the husband runs away from home, and there is also the daughter-in-law's fault, that is, the daughter-in-law is not generous and virtuous enough, so the daughter-in-law wants her husband to see my sincerity, so she takes it upon herself to take a concubine for her husband." The daughter-in-law knows that her husband only thinks about her cousin, but these aunts are more or less like cousins, and they may be able to relieve her husband's lovesickness. ”
There is some truth to that. Mrs. Su was still a little dissatisfied, "But you don't have to pay so much at once, after all, the expenses in the house are ......."
Yue Xuan took the other party's words, "The daughter-in-law knows what her mother means, the Su family has a big business, but it is just a few women, even a dozen can afford it." ”
Mrs. Su's tone choked, she couldn't say this. The Su family's great business is very good, but the Su family has relied on ancestral property for several generations, and no matter how strong the family foundation is, there are times when it is hollowed out. The camel that survived to death was just starving to death was bigger than a horse, and now that it was Su Weiran's generation, he originally wanted to use the power of the Yue family to make the Su family prosperous, but who knew that such a ridiculous thing would happen.
If it weren't for the Su family's good concealment, it is estimated that their Su family would have become the laughing stock of Mingcheng. Especially the generals of the Yue family, they can't afford to be provoked.
Now that Mrs. Su is still in charge, it is reasonable for Yue Xuan not to know the Su family's background, so Mrs. Su did not suspect that the other party was deliberate. But Yue Xuan has the memories of the original owner's life, so he knows that the current Su family is just an empty shelf, and it is not as good as an ordinary and solid family.
But the Su family is a famous family, and they want face and this scene.
"Mother, don't you want your husband to come out of his grief as soon as possible." Yue Xuan suddenly thought of something, his face changed greatly, and his voice was eager, "Mother, do you think that your husband will not want to open the empty door?"
"Not really, right?" Mrs. Su was a little stupid, she really didn't think about it that way.
"Mother, my husband is an infatuated person, maybe it really is. Why don't you send someone to the temple to have a look, just in case? ”
These words reminded Mrs. Su that she no longer had the heart to stay and take care of Yue Xuan's affairs.
After a few words of gossip, he hurried away.
The bridal maid Shu'er next to her asked, "Miss, do you want to continue?"
Yue Xuan looked at the row of beautiful maids with their own merits, and his mind turned, "Who is literate in it?"
As soon as these words came out, a slender beauty came out and said respectfully: "Slave fennel, I know a few words." ”
"Stand down, all of you." Yue Xuan smiled at the nervous Fennel and said, "Do you know why I kept you?"
Fennel's eyes flashed, "Please also ask Madame to make it clear." ”
The smile on Yue Xuan's face deepened, "I think you are a blessed one." Now the eldest young master doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and it is better to be a titular aunt than to be a righteous aunt, what do you say?"
Fennel's pretty face turned white, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
How wouldn't she dare? In her previous life, Fennel became Master Su's favorite concubine and was pregnant with a child, but unfortunately she was blessed with two lives when she gave birth. However, she suspected that it was Mrs. Su's hand. After all, Master Su has a lot of concubines, but there are very few who can give birth to the least number of heirs. The only concubine's biological mother died early, and it is rumored that it is the fate of a lone star. was so disgusted by the Su family and raised in Zhuangzi.
Coincidentally, the original owner was also in his previous life.
Master Su was in the study, and suddenly heard Yue Xuan asking to see him, and frowned, "Let her in." ”
Yue Xuan walked in with a well-dressed fennel behind him.
"Daddy." Yue Xuan respectfully saluted Master Su.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Su's voice is gentle, although he is middle-aged, he has an elegant temperament.
Fennel secretly glanced at Master Su, her face turned crimson, and she quickly lowered her head.
Yue Xuan replied: "The daughter-in-law knows that her father is worried about her husband's affairs, and she hasn't had a good rest in the past few days, so the daughter-in-law specially ordered someone to stew a bowl of chicken soup. ”
Fennel walked up to Master Su with the food box in her heart, looked up with a pretty little face, and said shyly: "Master, drink soup." ”
Master Su looked at it with a flutter, touched his beard and said, "Can you read?"
Fennel lowered her head and replied: "If you go back to the master, you know a few words." ”
Yue Xuan sighed and said: "Dad doesn't know, this fennel was originally the daughter of Xiucai's family, but unfortunately her life is not good, her father and mother are gone, and her aunt can't tolerate it, so she sold her." ”
Speaking of this, fennel had red circles in her eyes and sobbed lowly. Seeing that Master Su was pitiful, he hurriedly took the other party's hand and comforted: "It's a poor girl." ”
Yue Xuan looked at the look of a concubine, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of sarcasm, this old man Su has always been pitiful and cherished, but he is not an affectionate lord, to put it bluntly, he just wants to see the color.
This old man Su is not familiar with general affairs, he recites poems all day long, adds fragrance to his red sleeves, likes to collect famous paintings and ancient books, and even spends a lot of money on this. Even if Mrs. Su is careful in her calculations, she does not have a lot of money.
"Dad, my daughter-in-law has other things to do, so let Fennel stay and wait, and then take down the food box."
Old Master Su was satisfied with Yue Xuan's knowledge, and his face became more gentle: "Okay, then you can go down first." ”
Yue Xuanfu turned around and left.
At night, before Fennel returned, Yue Xuan knew that it was done.
Sure enough, on the second day, it was reported that Master Su accepted fennel as his aunt again.
For this matter, Mrs. Su came again with a black face.
"Yue Xuan, what do you mean? How can I give it to your father-in-law? Do you still have me as a mother in your eyes?" Mrs. Su was annoyed, her eyes on fire.
Yue Xuan's face was panicked, "Mother, you listen to my explanation, I don't know about this matter." Originally, I took fennel to bring food to my father, but my father asked if fennel could read, and fennel said that she was originally Xiucai's daughter and knew a few poems, so my father asked her to stay and serve. The daughter-in-law is a junior, and the father can speak well, how can the daughter-in-law not obey?"
Mrs. Su knew the old problem of the red sleeves of the person next to her pillow, and when she saw that the other party's expression did not look like a fake, she said that the other party was now virtuous and automatically took a concubine for her son, hoping that her son would change his mind, and his attitude eased a lot.
"Even so, then you don't persuade it?" Mrs. Sue's tone was reproachful.
"It's the daughter-in-law's fault, but the daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Yue Xuan said nervously, "Don't worry, my father is just confused for a while, and he just sees that fennel is young and beautiful." Although my mother is old, she gave birth to a son-in-law for the Su family, and the family business will be ours in the future. Even if fennel gives birth to a boy and half a girl, it will only cost a few hundred taels of silver. Where is our Su family lacking this bit of silver. Mother, what do you say?"
Mrs. Su's heart was depressed, her anger turned into pig liver, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What do you know?"
Yue Xuan's face was inexplicable, "That's what my mother told me before I got married, is it wrong?"
Mrs. Su was even more heartbroken, to Shangyue Xuan's beautiful and innocent face, the young lady who dared to love their family was not only virtuous, but also lacked heart? Otherwise, it would not have been long since she entered the door, and Wei Ran had seen her cousin several times, why didn't the other party find out?
