Chapter 25: Asking for Marriage
Su Qing's intact hand gently held the injured wrist, and her face was full of joy.
There was an accident at the Lantern Festival last night, and Su Qing was a little puzzled at the time, but she was not the person concerned, so she didn't think too much about it.
However, after Su Wan returned safely, the Ji family hurriedly found the Lin family and wanted to make a deal with the Lin family, and the content was the quota of the Douqiao Competition.
Lin was unwilling.
The atmosphere in Sioux City is not strict with women, but the rules are there, and it is difficult for women to have a chance to make a name for themselves.
This time, Su Meng did not participate in the Douqiao Competition, and the Lin family was full of thoughts, Su Qing must win a jackpot, otherwise he would not be sorry for Su Qing to prepare for so long in advance.
The chips given by the Ji family were extremely tempting, but the Lin family still resisted.
Su Qing stood up at this time, saying that her wrist was injured and she had nothing to do with Douqiaosai.
"Mother, I'm going to the capital too," Su Qing said suddenly.
Lin's pupils shrank.
"Nonsense, you actually fell in love with this Qingyun Road, but is it really Qingyun Road, since ancient times, the royal family has been chaotic, how many people have folded in it, I don't agree" Lin said categorically.
She never expected that Su Qing would want to go the same path as Su Meng.
It's not that she doesn't expect Su Qing to be motivated, it's just that she loves her daughter very much, where can she bear to let her daughter go to a place that she can't take care of.
"It turns out that you have such an idea, no wonder you pushed the boat down the river and responded to Ji's words, but Qing'er, although your father is a son-in-law, he is not the eldest son-in-law, and your father and mother don't have the ability to help you" Lin said solemnly.
The second room does not have the confidence of the long house, and the power of the long house cannot support Su Qing's plan.
If the Ji family was in her position, she would not be willing to let Su Meng go to Bo for this unknown wealth.
"Mother, I know that you are for my good, but you probably don't know that I overheard something from my grandmother a few days ago" Su Qing suddenly sneered and said.
She knows her status in the family, and she is also a concubine, but she is not as good as Su Meng, and she lets Su Meng do everything.
Outside, when others mention the young lady of the Su family, the first thing that comes to mind is Su Meng.
When someone mentions Su Qing, she just has a peaceful personality and doesn't have any big characteristics.
Su Qing didn't feel that Su Meng would be wronged, she enjoyed the protection of the family, so she had to protect the rights and interests of the family.
Su Meng's status is higher than her, this is determined by the family, so she never complains.
It wasn't until the news a few days ago that Su Qing was stupid.
"What did you hear when you eavesdropped on your grandmother?" Lin frowned and said, she suddenly had a very bad premonition.
I saw Su Qing sneering on her face.
"I heard my grandmother say that the Mo family in Qingzhou is from the family, and they want to marry our family."
The Lin family was taken aback, the Mo family in Qingzhou talked about power, but it was a family on par with the Su family, not to mention that someone in the Mo family was a celebrity in front of him today.
"Regarding the selection of concubines by the prince of the capital, the candidate in our house must be Su Meng, who is the right age for the long house, the Mo family will not know this, then they must be coming for others."
Speaking of this, Lin looked at Su Qing and said.
"The Mo family doesn't have to be on a mission in our house, you don't want to, are you the candidate who knows the Mo family's marriage?"
Naturally, she knew, otherwise why would she avoid the limelight.
"Listen to what grandmother means, it's the third master of the Mo family," Su Qing said.
The Lin family suddenly seemed to have lost all their strength, obviously frightened by the third master of the Mo family in Su Qing's mouth.
"It's him, no wonder you don't want to," Lin nodded and said.
Mo Yuru, the third master of the Mo family, is the youngest son of the old lady of the Mo family, and he has a son in his later years.
It's just that this Mo Sanye's reputation is not very good, relying on the power of the Mo family, suppressing the children of the poor family, forcibly taking other people's wives and other evil things.
"Mother, I don't want to compete with the third sister, it's just that I'm unwilling, the Mo family is clearly the third sister," Su Qing said with tears in her eyes.
"What, they want three girls," Lin said in disbelief.
The Mo family really dared to think that at such a sensitive time, the Mo family would actually propose to marry Su Meng.
Su Qing shook her head silently, in fact, what really made her resentful was the conversation between the old lady and the Ji family.
"Forget the three girls, she is the same as Rui'er, I grew up watching"
"Yes, what my mother said is that if Meng'er marries that gentleman, her life will be ruined."
said this as if she was not from the Su family, not her grandmother's granddaughter.
"Third Master Mo is in Suzhou City, I don't want to show up, and I don't want to attract his attention," Su Qing said again.
"The people are already in the city, but the house has not revealed the slightest rumor, your father, do you know the news," Lin said to himself.
Su Qing was silent, obviously not believing that her father Su Shuwen didn't know.
For yesterday's Lantern Festival, Su Shuwen has been busy these days.
When a person of the identity of Mo Sanye came, it was difficult to hide it from Su Shuwen.
And Su Qing had already decided in her heart that the old lady must have been angry with Su Shuwen.
"Mother, don't worry too much, it's not good for people to come, listen to grandmother, this Mo Sanye has always been willful, this trip is to see the third sister, yesterday was an excellent opportunity, but the third sister has not shown up, I also hid, there is only one person he can see" Su Qing said slightly indifferently.
"You mean, five girls?" Lin said in surprise.
Su Qing nodded.
"The fifth sister is not much younger than me and the third sister, and she performed exceptionally well yesterday," Su Qing said with a light smile.
Although she didn't watch the game closely, it could be seen from the expressions of the ladies of the family that Su Wan was very good.
"Also, I heard that today my grandmother asked someone to send a message to Haitang Courtyard, so that the fifth sister can recuperate well, and don't miss the lotus banquet of the Gu family, I'm afraid that my grandmother is also thinking about the fifth sister" Su Qing said with some sarcasm.
After resenting her heart, Su Qing became more and more unaccustomed to the old lady's attitude in this matter.
"You mean, the old lady knows that the Mo family and Mo Yuru are not easy to handle, so she wants to push the five girls out, and whoever of you is fancied can solve this matter," Lin said.
She couldn't care about being frightened, because the old lady was really too much.
The Mo family asks to marry, and the Su family can not agree, so why do you have to follow the Mo family's wishes.
And one of the 'sacrificed' candidates is still her own daughter.
"Otherwise, why don't you usually see your grandmother being kind to the fifth sister," Su Qing said.
It can't be said that the old lady used to treat Su Wan badly, but she generally treated it with a blind attitude, but she has been more tolerant recently, especially today, it is to send things and comfort with good words.
"Then what are your plans, the post of today's lotus banquet has been delivered, and you and the five girls can't hide from it," Lin analyzed.
Since the old lady and the Ji family have a plan, they will not allow too many accidents.
