Chapter 69: Indifferent Attitude
Suning'er didn't know how to comfort her anymore, after all, this was a happy event, the Qi family had lived for many years, and she had pulled her predecessor up with hard work, and there was no need to say much about the sadness during it.
So she cried like this, and Suning'er could understand it.
In fact, in this era, widowed, divorced, or even righteous or abandoned women can remarry, and it is a relatively common phenomenon.
The current era has also been plagued by many wars before gradually settling down, the population has plummeted, everything is in ruins, the rulers strive to prosper, and all generations of kings will have more respect for women, hoping that they will prosper.
Therefore, women of marriageable age, even only women who have been widowed for many years, will be urged and persuaded to marry by local officials.
Especially for officials and commoners below the rank of the fifth rank, even if they are widows with heirs, as long as they remarry others after the fifth service, they will not be tolerated by the world.
Suning'er had heard Shuang'er mention this matter before, when the predecessor was five or six years old, in his hometown in Yangzhou, Su Jing and Zhou also persuaded the Qi family to remarry more than once, and even the local county officials came to persuade them to marry, but the premise was to leave the predecessor in the house.
The Qi family was only over twenty years old at that time, dignified and virtuous, but there were many well-off families who were willing to be hired into the house as a wife, but this woman could not rest assured that Suning'er was raised alone in Su Mansion, and would rather be a widow alone.
Later, Dafang and the salt merchant Zhao family got close, and when the Su family was in danger, the Zhao family also helped the Su family, thinking about this for this reason, Su Jing and his wife did not mention this matter again.
After entering Beijing, the Su family's business turned around, and they took the privilege of specializing in weaving, and their status soared.
When Chang'an County entered the government to persuade him to marry, Su Jing casually mentioned it a few times, but as Suning'er gradually grew up, and Sufu's business became more and more prosperous, and the industry increased greatly, Zhou's view of this matter became more and more indifferent.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, although today's Suninger has her own ideology, but there are inextricable links with her predecessor, and some aspects are even unclear to herself, no matter from which level, she hopes that Qi's family can live without worry.
At this time, Suning'er also squatted down patiently, lightly held Qi's palm, looked at her and whispered: "Aya must be very happy, but Ning'er thinks that Aya hopes that A-Niang can live happily." ”
In fact, she didn't want to mention her deceased father too much, although her father and mother were very affectionate, but she was always too sad:
The Qi family married into the Su Mansion without performing the ceremony, and was widowed less than two years after entering the door, that Aya was bandited in the Western Regions, and contracted the plague, and even the body could not be transported back to his homeland, and he burned it clean, or his thirteenth uncle secretly brought some ashes back, leaving some thoughts for the Qi family.
Let the closest people bury their bones in a foreign country, let alone ancient times, even in modern times, many people are heartbroken.
"A-Niang married you Aya, she is very content in this life, and the only regret is that she failed to add a male heir for your Aye, so that the big house will wither", Qi squeezed Suning'er's palm lightly, and said earnestly:
"Ah Niang doesn't know that Ning Er also has some of her own ideas, but you have the blood of the Su family after all, even if you can't develop the ancestral industry like you Aye, you should do some money for our big house, and now your second uncle and aunt have pressed all the ancestral properties to win the first share of the silk business, our mother and daughter can only help each other, and now with the marriage of Qingwangfu, it will be much smoother in the future."
"Well, these things are handled by the second uncle and two aunts, and A-Niang can rest assured."
Qi nodded thoughtfully.
Suning'er looked at her, as if she was a little uneasy, and she didn't know what she was worried about.
I saw that she hesitated, wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally said it eloquently: "There is something that A-Niang is afraid to say that she knows with Ning'er." ”
"Oh, A-Niang, what's the matter?"
Qi pursed his lips slightly, and replied with a smile: "Yesterday, while you and Ah Xiang went out of the house, Ah Niang went to Yunjing Temple, and happened to meet the old lady of the Zhao family, I heard that the child of Yuan Bai rejected the Tao family's proposal, and also lost the privilege of selling salt with the Lingnan Dao mansion, and it is not smooth to come to the Yuan Bai family now, but Ning'er, you now have a marriage in Qingwangfu, and you are a daughter's family, and there are many inconveniences, so ......"
She wanted to speak and stopped, and Suning'er immediately understood.
Her mother naturally didn't know that she didn't have a good impression of Zhao Yuanbai, but after all, the relationship between her predecessor and him was there, and it was understandable that the Qi family had this worry.
In fact, she still hasn't figured out what her predecessor likes about Zhao Yuanbai, isn't it because he has a bit of beauty?
She has not personally experienced this kind of childhood sweetheart's feelings, and she has not had a deep understanding.
In short, she can't have a good impression of Zhao Yuanbai, that kind of unruly and unruly temperament, plus his words and deeds make people feel too immature, even if he does too many things for himself, it is difficult to impress himself.
So she explained to Qi Shi very easily:
"The Zhao family has a big business, but it is just a small setback, and there will be no big mess in the future, and I also heard from Wan Niang yesterday that Zhao Jialangjun bought more than 20 acres of filthy sea pools in the West Market, and also set up a lot of shops and made a lot of colorful heads, just to please the women of those official eunuchs, so rich and generous, how can Ning Er and A-Niang worry about it."
"Ah, is it?" , Qi Shi looked surprised.
She has always lived in a simple place, and rarely heard of this kind of thing, but when she heard Suning'er mention it at this moment, her heart began to go up and down: "What is this kid going to do Yuan Bai, now everyone is fighting for the shop next to the West Market, but he went to buy some waste wasteland, isn't it ridiculous, and I haven't heard the old lady mention it." ”
"So A-Niang don't worry about these things, Zhao Langjun has his Aya and the old lady here, they are not worried, why should A-Niang care."
"This kid, I'm afraid he has become confused after experiencing these things, and he just goes to the Persian Mansion on weekdays, how can he do such a sensational thing now."
Listening to Qi's indignant reproach, Su Ning'er also felt a little ashamed to know him.
I vaguely remember that this guy had taken his predecessor to the Persian Mansion many times, and he still knew the holy woman of the Persian Mansion, and everyone got along very well.
This kind of thing, Suning'er had never heard of before, a complete scumbag.
He pursed his lips a little dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Whatever, let him go." ”
"Ah Niang was still worried that Ning'er would think more, after all, the Zhao family treats our mother and daughter well", Qi Shi said with a long sigh, and his face became much more relaxed, and he only sighed slightly: "You said that this child, why did you refuse a good family affair, the Tao family has such a big family business, and the Tao family's Jiuniang can't compete for it." ”
"Okay, A-Niang, these things are not something we can manage", Suning'er didn't want to go on endlessly on this topic, interrupted Qi's emotion, and casually picked up the two invitations from the table, opened them and looked at them.
The day of the Ye family's second mother's invitation is tomorrow.
She is not familiar with this little lady, and she has only seen it yesterday, but she is not easy to refuse, so she naturally wants to go to the appointment, but I don't know what kind of characters Erniang invited.
And Du Hongniang's poetry meeting and the party held by the second mother of the Ye family are only one day apart, with the status and talent of the red lady, it is said to be a small poetry meeting, but I am afraid that there are many people invited, and when the time comes, it will be to avoid seeing Tao Yunshu and Wei Ruji again.
Thinking about it, she actually had a headache, but what was helpless was that Li Wanwan's words yesterday seemed to have indirectly helped her agree to Du Hongniang's invitation.
Hey, they are all big people who can't be provoked, and they only hate that they weren't born in the noble family when they were reborn, otherwise they wouldn't be so embarrassed when they faced these trivial matters.
Qi Shi took a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked at the post in her hand, but was overjoyed: "Although Mrs. Taiwei is also a woman, she is very talented, and it is a great honor to invite Ning'er into the house; The second mother of the Ye family is a family like Shangshufu, I really didn't expect Ning'er to go to a ball club and get invited by them, no wonder your second aunt is so excited today. ”
Qi Shi sighed a little incredulously as she spoke, her daughter really made her proud now, and she said seriously:
"A few days ago, there are still a lot of brocades sent up in Yangzhou, and the steward also deliberately changed some of Jinling's Yunjin Tuo people to bring up, the fabric is extremely good, Ning'er passed, let Aqin, Ah Shuang pick more good color and luster, our kind of silk people can not compare with the children of the official family, this aspect is not too bad, they are used to the brocade in Shu, and occasionally get some famous products of Jianghuai will also feel fresh."
"Well, Ning'er made a note of it."
Qi Shi pondered and continued: "Ning'er now has the family affairs of Qingwangfu, and it is more prudent to act safely, you are good friends with Wanniang, A-Niang shouldn't say anything, but there are still differences in your identities." ”
Su Ning'er also nodded obediently.
In the past, there were Li Wanwan and Tao Yunshu around her, and she felt that she couldn't climb high, but now she has met characters like Ye Erniang and Du Hongniang, which is even more terrifying.
Although I can call it the rich second generation, the gap is too far compared to them.
