Chapter 09: Some Schemes
Back in the West Courtyard, Qi's thoughts were a little complicated, and seeing that it was still early, he called Suning to his meditation room.
As soon as Suning sat down, she heard her ask in person: "Ning'er is just afraid that she won't eat enough at night, right?" ”
She said this to her heart, the table of delicacies from the mountains and seas just now looked quite greedy, but after all the commotion, how dare she enjoy it to the fullest.
But after all, it is her daughter's family, even if she is now familiar with the Qi family, Suning is still a little embarrassed, avoiding her eyes and just smiling awkwardly.
Qi Shi stroked her little face, and said with a kind face: "A-Niang asked Shuang'er and Qin'er to go to the kitchen to prepare some snacks, but A-Niang has something to explain to you, and you can use it when you go back to the room." ”
Suning nodded movingly when she heard this, this woman is really more careful than her own mother.
Qin'er also grinned and kept laughing: "It's still the eldest lady who understands Yiniang, last time Yiniang and the second eldest lady had a fight, and came back hungry in the middle of the night to look for food in the whole house." ”
"Noise", Qi Shi glared at Qin'er slightly, and hurriedly waved to her: "Go quickly, boil the hot water earlier, your mother has just seen her well, and I will serve her to rest early in the evening." ”
"Yes", the two girls bowed obediently, and they both walked out of the room with happy smiles, as if they were not affected by what had just happened in the hall.
After Qin'er and Shuang'er went out, the room was quiet for a while, Qi seemed to be thinking about something, and it seemed to be making some decisions, and after thinking about it almost, he held Suning's hand tightly and said slowly:
"Ning'er, today you can tolerate your second aunt, A-Niang is very pleased, our ancestors of the Su family have always been harmonious, to your grandfather and father's two generations, people are becoming thin, for the prosperity of the Su family, but even more value this family motto, A-Niang has also thought about separating from the Su family for you, but I can't bear to think of your father's last wish."
Suning nodded ignorantly, she only knew that her father had died when her predecessor was still in the womb, but she didn't know anything about her last wishes.
"Counting the past dynasties, there are very few women who can be like our women in the Tang Dynasty, whether they are wives, daughters, or mothers, and can bloom their daughter's pride. Of course, A-Niang said that she didn't hope that you could really uphold your father's last wish and expand the lintel for the Su family, you are just a daughter, and you were born in this businessman's family, A-Niang just hopes that you will think more about the entire Su family in the future, A-Niang also knows that Ning'er has grown up now, and I don't need to nag me to talk about a lot of words, but A-Niang only has this little thought of you now, I'm really afraid that you will be reckless......"
At this point, Qi's eyes gradually deepened, looking at Suning, full of affection.
Listening to her meaningful words, Suning understood that she meant something, and she had just been divorced, just because she was worried that she would have thoughts like suicide again.
Looking at her solemn expression, Su Ning thought quietly, and then replied, "You don't have to worry, Ning'er won't be rash anymore." ”
"Silly girl", Qi smiled bitterly and patted her shoulder gently:
"How can a mother not understand this kind of thing, it is difficult for anyone to feel comfortable in their hearts, although A-Niang also blamed your second aunt in her heart before, but if you think about it carefully, she really did not have complete selfishness in this matter, and now these rich businessmen in Chang'an, which one has no solid forces behind them, has long been indistinguishable from official and private, even if it is Yuanbai and their Zhao family, if there is no support from several uncles, I am afraid it would have already withered."
Seeing her mention the Zhao family again, Su Ning was a little curious, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't I hear you talk about him a few days ago, saying that the Zhao family only sells illicit salt." ”
"That's just Yuanbai's lineage", Qi explained: "Yuanbai's grandfather was also a Jinshi back then, and he passed the provincial examination in Shangshu Province, but he didn't expect that he would be rejected later, and several officials recommended by the public were dismissed. ”
"Ah, there's such a thing?"
"You girl can't remember anything", Qi scolded softly, and continued: "It is said that he offended the nobles of the Beisi Yamen, and there are not a few people who have been registered as merchants in recent years, but they are staring at their Zhao family, not to provoke criticism, but also to avoid Yuan Bai's stupid child coming to Chang'an City to make a lot of nonsense, saying that now the eunuchs are in charge, and fame and fortune are all famous." ”
Suning couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said in his heart: "If you are really a stunned young man, it is no wonder that you are not treated well." ”
Seeing that she was smiling from ear to ear, Qi frowned again and blamed: "You can still laugh, you two, you are really a pair of living enemies, one would rather die in order to fight for evil, and the other is taking the royal marriage as a child's play." ”
"I'm not", Suning pouted angrily.
Thinking about it this way, the predecessor is very compatible with the stunned green.
However, he is not such a stubborn person, if he hadn't been divorced, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before he obediently sat in the wedding of King Qing's mansion.
Qi Shi felt strange, and after talking to her for a while, she didn't seem to see any sense of loss on her face, but was as calm as ever.
If you think about it, this is a good thing, so as not to worry about her again.
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Qi Shi said some of the unfinished words that were pressed in his heart:
"Ning'er, now that San Lang has a marriage contract, I'm afraid that I won't take care of our mother and daughter anymore in the future, and you won't be happy in Su Mansion or even in the entire Chang'an City for a long time in the future, this is what A-Niang wants to tell you today, you must be calm in trouble, don't go to dispute with people again for a while."
She tried not to be so heavy, and Suning followed her words to imagine all the troubles she might encounter after becoming an abandoned girl.
For the time being, she can't imagine who she will have a dispute with, staying in the Su Mansion all day, and the person who deals with her the most is nothing more than the person in the second room, Qi is so admonished, I'm afraid this is the meaning.
She is not a person who likes to be competitive, as long as the situation does not develop to the point where it affects her survival, she will definitely not have a verbal dispute with the Zhou family, so she also replied heartily: "Don't worry, I will be obedient." ”
Qi smiled with satisfaction, looked at her forehead with warm eyes: "A-Niang thought, if this time can pass smoothly, and when you get through the most difficult stage, A-Niang will discuss with your second uncle, although he is afraid of your second aunt, but sometimes he can also take some ideas, and your father is very affectionate, and will not ignore your affairs, in the future, I will ask someone to find a reliable person for you to enter the house, we will either go back to Yangzhou, or stay in the Western Capital, if Langzi is able to do it, maybe he can also help take care of some trivial matters." ”
"Oh, that's the son-in-law who came to the door, right?"
"That's pretty much what it means", Qi pursed his lips: "I'm afraid that this time the matter will have a big impact, A-Niang really doesn't worry about letting you marry elsewhere in the future, it's safer to come in, and it can also make you at the mercy of you, so as to avoid bullying, I think your second uncle and second aunt will definitely agree, compared to splitting up, they prefer the big house to continue to stay in the Su Mansion." ”
"Well, as long as you think it's appropriate, I don't have anything to worry about", Suning smiled nonchalantly, as if it didn't have much to do with her.
Qi was obviously satisfied with her answer, but he still had some concerns, and reminded him slightly: "After all, it's Ning'er's own business, and you still have to take some ideas yourself." ”
Suning responded casually, and didn't pay too much attention to it.
In fact, no matter what era it is, it is an extremely shameful thing to be divorced, but the situation has developed to such a field, and only by looking at it calmly can you make your life better.
It is not so that the old wound has not healed, and the new injury is overwhelmed.
lost the opportunity to marry into the palace, although she was also a little disappointed, but in general she felt a relief.
This shallow year, it should be comfortable and free, keep it and enjoy it slowly, and it should never be just troubled by some mundane things.
