Chapter 12: The Bottom Line
Suning ran out of the guest hall and went to Tanghua Courtyard, Qin'er and Shuang'er glanced at each other with complicated faces, and then chased after them.
This result was completely unexpected.
And on the side of the guest hall, the Zhou family, the Qi family, and Su Jing were still stunned, and Zhao Yuanbai glanced at the Qi family who was still sobbing, and walked out with a lonely face.
He also realized that he had messed things up, but if he really swallowed this breath like this, he was a little unwilling.
Several servants rushed over outside the door, and their eyes were full of hatred when they looked at him, but he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, as if he had lost his soul, he walked out of the Su Mansion slowly step by step.
Looking at the distant figure, Zhou's heart was still a little chilling, and he muttered to himself: "This girl, how dare this girl ......."
Saying that, she couldn't help but look at Qi's family, and wanted to step forward to accuse a few words, but she couldn't bear it.
Su Jing had a cold face and yelled at the door: "Qingchun, why don't you come in and help your eldest lady go back to the room." ”
Qingchun ran in in a panic, carefully picked up Qi's family, and walked out of the door.
After only the husband and wife were left in the living room, Su Jing pondered for a long time, slapped his palm on the table, and began to vent the anger in his heart: "Zhao Yuanbai, this bastard, deceives people too much. ”
"Then who can blame it, it's not the dead girl who asked for it, she has to make such a stubble thing, otherwise she would have entered the door of King Qing's mansion."
Zhou sat back on the wooden chair dissatisfied, pouted and complained: "I think that Zhao Yuanbai is also pinching that no one in the entire Chang'an City dares to step into the door of the Su family again, so he dares to be so domineering." ”
Su Jing pondered for a while, frowned and said slowly: "I think it's better to ask someone to find a place for A-Ning's husband's family in Yangzhou to come to the house, such a thing happened, even Zhao Yuanbai's bastard doesn't take A-Ning to heart, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that A-Ning will be even more neglected." ”
"No", Zhou directly denied: "Being divorced by Qing Wangfu, this matter has spread all over the world, if you find a husband for Ning'er's girl, then what will happen to Ning Xiang in the future, this road must be kept for Xiang'er." ”
Su Jing said impatiently: "Xiang'er is Xiang'er, Ning'er is Ning'er, what impact does this have, it's just that the daughters of my Su family don't marry outside, everyone should work together and be diligent, don't count on those sideways." ”
"Of course it has an impact", Zhou stared at his eyes and said loudly: "Que Er will definitely be tested for fame in the future, will the huge Su family be handed over to the big house to take care of, Xiang'er is the only heir of the Su family in the future, what do you want to get two rich men to come in, I don't worry." ”
Su Jing pursed his lips, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought: "Then I will hand over the ancestral house, field property, shop, and weaving workshop in Yangzhou to my brother and sister-in-law and A Ning, and let their mother and daughter go back to Yangzhou to live." ”
"That's even worse", Zhou's anger was even worse, and he scolded: "Su Jing, what are you thinking about in your head, now the reputation of the Su family in Chang'an City is getting worse day by day, if you lose the business in the east and west cities, how will you let Que'er and Xiang'er live in the future, will you rely on the inconspicuous business in Hezhong Mansion and Luoyang to maintain, or will you beg your brother and sister-in-law to ask for Yangzhou's property when the time comes?" ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you want to do?" , Su Jing was so angry that his face was full of iron: "Don't you look forward to A-Ning being delayed in the mansion?" ”
"I didn't mean that," Zhou explained with a calm face.
The two of them fell silent with straight faces.
After a while, Zhou suddenly spoke: "If you have to find a place for A-Ning's girl, it's not impossible, my cousin's family has a nephew, loyal and docile, but you can consider it." ”
"Your cousin?" , Su Jing snorted coldly: "Didn't that family be demoted to lowly status many years ago, since ancient times, 'there is a difference between good and low, and when you are married', what kind of sheep are you smoking like crazy?" ”
"What are you talking nonsense", Zhou reprimanded, but became serious again: "My cousin's family got a good document from the government several years ago, and now the family is living a peaceful life in Yuhang County, Hangzhou, but they are just poorer. ”
"It's Yuhang County again", Su Jing snorted coldly: "Saturday Mother, I can rely on you for anything on weekdays, but you can't be arbitrary about A-Ning's family affairs this time, otherwise you will ......"
Zhou Shi was angry when he heard this, and interrupted him viciously: "Otherwise, what about you?" ”
Su Jing stared at her, his gaze gradually turned gloomy: "Otherwise, I will violate the law and write a letter of righteousness and send it to the county government of Chang'an County." ”
After that, he stood up and walked straight out of the guest hall, and the Zhou family behind him was already stunned, scolding and shouting: "Su Jing, you, Tian Shehan, who has been killed by a thousand people, actually said such heartless words to me for the sake of that mother and daughter." ”
Su Jingtou didn't look back, and left resolutely.
As for this lady, as he himself said, everything can be done according to her, but the affairs of the big house must no longer be decided by her.
If the marriage with Qingwangfu was not indeed a good marriage, he would not dare to compromise easily, and now he thinks about it with some regret, not only offending the Zhao family, but also getting an empty field on the side of Qingwangfu, and also mixing up Suning'er's good family affairs.
After all, he felt that he really shouldn't exchange Suning'er's happiness for the prosperity of the entire Su family, even if he exchanged his daughter for him, he could feel more at ease.
The mother and daughter of the big house are not as good as others, none of the generations of the Su family have a long lifespan, and Su Jing's father relapsed in his early thirties and died. At that time, he was only a doll under the age of ten, and his mother was a woman with little knowledge, and she relied on her brother to maintain the family.
A few years later, his brother was in danger again, at the age of sixteen, he was not deeply involved in the world and had short experience, but he had to take on the heavy responsibility of the entire Su family, and it was his brother and sister-in-law who helped him survive the most difficult years.
Later, Zhou married into Su Mansion, his brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, and on the wedding day, he handed over all the power of the family to him and Zhou.
This kindness, whether it is the elder brother under Jiuquan, or he Su Jing dare not forget.
But looking back at his actions over the years, Su Jing couldn't help but sigh, and he couldn't help but have the idea of breaking up his brother and sister-in-law.
Fortunately, everything has not yet reached the point of no return, there is still room to make up for it, and this time he can't swallow it anymore no matter what.
.......
On the side of Tanghua Courtyard, Suning was lying on the desk sullenly, thinking about what happened just now, she felt more and more that everything that Zhao Yuanbai had done before her was not worth it.
Such a stinky man with no mind, when he thinks about it, he is nothing more than a scumbag with a bit of appearance, nothing remarkable.
The predecessor was a woman from a good family and a big businessman, where did she fall to the point of being a concubine.
In this era, the merchant is no longer the rich and inexpensive court like in previous years, and Zhao Yuanbai's doing this is nothing more than repaying the unkind and righteous practices of the Fufu government at the beginning.
But in any case, such despicable means should not be resorted.
For the distinction between high and low in ancient times, Suning is very clear, once she becomes a concubine, she may have no hope of turning over in her life.
At this time, she also began to feel that she had been too optimistic about many things before.
