Just after midnight, the first soft light of the early morning sprinkled into Tianmen Street, a peaceful and peaceful scene. There was a hint of coldness and a faint fragrance in the air, spreading from the Suzaku Gate to the south.

The Su family in the northwest corner of Guangdefang in Waiguo City began to be lively again after being gloomy for three full days, and the sound of whispering and chattering sounded in a corner of the courtyard from time to time:

"I heard Alai say that Su Yiniang cheated the corpse last night, and seeing that it was about to be time for the funeral, she actually crawled out of the coffin alive."

"It's hard to say this, it is said that I asked a doctor to come and see it, but the loss is that I woke up in time, if it is a few hours late, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to it."

"So what's going on now?"

"Who knows, no one dares to go to the West Courtyard, didn't you see the faces of the second lady and the little lady Ning Xiang last night, they were miserable and white, I'm afraid you were scared."

"Oh, that's also the difficulty of the second lady, knowing that the Zhao family Saburo and the first lady are in love, but they just agreed to the marriage of another family for the big house, which embarrassed the two rooms."

"Shhh, you be quiet, if you let the second lady listen, you will be punished to go to the stable to feed the horses."

The two young women dressed as maids looked around, and when they saw someone hurrying in front of them, they quickly closed their tongues and walked all the way through Langfang towards the outer courtyard.

In the ancestral hall of the inner courtyard, a middle-aged woman dressed plainly was kneeling in the center of the ancestral hall, whispering reverently to more than ten spiritual positions and portraits of ancestors: "Fortunately, the ancestors of the Su family have been blessed and have kept my big house. ”

Behind her stood a middle-aged man, leaning against the door, his hands firmly wrapped in his sleeves, and had been waiting here for a long time.

At this moment, he looked at the lady who had just come over with some impatience, and the two looked at each other in the air, signaling to each other for a moment, but saw that the lady suddenly made a threatening look with him.

The middle-aged man was afraid of the might, and buried his head very reluctantly, and slowly walked to Qi's side while thinking, and then knelt on the futon, bowing down.

After the salute was over, he turned his head and carefully examined Qi Shi, coughed lightly with a "uh-huh", and then said slowly: "Sister-in-law, A-Ning's girl is also alive, waking up is nothing more than a matter of time or night, these days you have been guarding her coffin day and night, it is very hard, it is better to go back to the room to rest early." ”

When the woman behind her heard this, she glared at her in great displeasure, and deliberately coughed dryly, and her face suddenly became gloomy.

Qi still closed his eyes tightly, as if he had never heard the middle-aged man's voice, nor did he see the small movements of the two.

"Hey", the middle-aged man sighed helplessly: "What kind of sin did my Su family make, my ancestors have been angry and strong people for generations, and they have worked hard to glorify the lintel, only sighing that the more people are spreading, the thinner and thinner they are, the second uncle learned literature at the age of three, practiced martial arts at the age of four, and died at the age of five; To my generation, my poor brother, who was also a good seedling, practiced guns at the age of four, but unfortunately was injured at the age of five, and accidentally buried his bones at the age of nineteen. ”

"This is the day to die, my Su family", the middle-aged man said and couldn't help sighing, and his eyes quietly slanted towards the lady behind him.

The woman at the door just calmly observed the development of the situation and did not react in any way.

The ancestral hall became silent, the morning breeze blew in, the candles flickered, and the murals on the walls seemed to tremble and tremble, faintly making a slight sound.

The middle-aged man pursed his lips and thought about it, and then began to continue to preach by himself: "Now that the imperial court supports business and suppresses business, the law is unknown, and the salt and iron official camp may become a reality at any time, the Zhao family will fall sooner or later. ”

When Qi heard this, he finally couldn't bear to open his eyes.

When the middle-aged man saw this, he was overjoyed, and he worked harder and harder: "Sister-in-law, King Qing can look at Ah Ning differently, it is really my Su family's ancestors who burned high incense, I and my wife should inherit this family business for her, and it is a long-term plan for her and the entire Su family, I really don't know what this girl thinks, sister-in-law should persuade Ah Ning well, and she should not let her be so nonsense." ”

"Xiaolang."

"Huh."

Qi Shi looked at him coldly, and his face was haggard: "Do you remember your brother's will?" ”

"Brother's will is naturally remembered", the middle-aged man nodded and said: "I have also mentioned this to my sister-in-law many times, if my sister-in-law wants to remarry, I only need to leave A-Ning, my wife and I are willing to prepare a rich dowry for my sister-in-law, and send my sister-in-law out of the house in a beautiful way, because of this matter, Geng Shaofu has also come to the house many times, but my sister-in-law is willing to keep the festival for my brother......"

"That's not what the slave family said," Qi interrupted.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and became a little embarrassed: "What my sister-in-law said is that she still wants to take A-Ning out of the Su Mansion to live alone, this matter, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, A-Ning is so old after all, and he is the only bloodline of his brother......"

"This thing is naturally inappropriate", at this time, the woman at the door stepped forward sharply, and accused angrily: "Su Jing, you have been thinking about something all day long, my brother passed away early, leaving my sister-in-law and A-Ning alone, you still want their mothers to leave the Su Mansion, don't you want the people in the workshop to poke your backbone." ”

The woman said and bent down to help Qi Shi straighten up, and said with a smile on her face:

"Brother and sister-in-law, since Ning'er is unwilling, we will not be too demanding as elders, although we are all for her good, but now the atmosphere in Chang'an City is not as good as it was back then, the marriage of men and women has their own ideas, and it will not be enough to let this girl find death and life again, that is, Qingwangfu always has to give an explanation, I think it is better to wait until Ning'er wakes up and ask her what she thinks, maybe she will figure it out and say that it is not necessarily."

Qi was silent and had no color on his face, and was forced by the woman to walk towards the outside of the ancestral hall, Su Jing sighed with a bitter face.

As soon as a few people walked out of the ancestral hall, they bumped into an oncoming maid.

The maid bowed in a panic, looked at Qi's breathlessness and said, "Big lady, Yiniang, Yiniang, she woke up." ”

"I'll just say, Ning'er is a blessed person, and she will wake up sooner or later."

Without waiting for the two women to answer, Su Jing rushed forward first, and said with a smug face: "You see, it's only been a few hours, Ning'er woke up, and she really got the blessing of her ancestors, hehehehe." ”

When Qi Shi heard this, his face sank, there was no sign of excitement at all, and his face became even more ugly.

The second lady glanced at Su Jing angrily, Su Jing was so frightened that she quickly shrugged her shoulders, put her hands back into her sleeves, and began to keep silent.

The second lady grinned, turned her gaze to the girl in front of her, and asked with concern: "Ah Shuang, is your first lady still emotionally stable?" ”

The maid who was called Ah Shuang frowned, shook her head and replied: "The slave maid hasn't seen Yiniang yet, but I heard Ah Qin say that Yiniang woke up and behaved a little strangely, Ah Qin was worried about Yiniang, so he asked the slave maid to go back and forth to the eldest lady and the second lady first." ”

"Oh, you have to watch it closely", the second lady nodded, stared at Qi seriously, and advised: "Brother and sister-in-law, you go back to take care of Ning'er first, I'll ask the doctor to come over again, as for other things......"

Speaking of this, she paused suddenly, and after thinking for a while, she smiled and said: "Brother and sister-in-law don't have to be in a hurry for other things, Lord Qing, it's a relative of the emperor and the country, and he won't worry too much about this, hehe." ”

Her words sounded light and light, but the words "imperial relatives and relatives" were like a hammer smashed into everyone's hearts, which was meaningful and made people have a good aftertaste.

Unexpectedly, Qi only showed a cold smile, and then walked towards the direction of the West Courtyard with Ah Shuang in his arms.

Seeing the master and servant walk away, the smiling face of the second lady suddenly disappeared, and the anger hidden in her heart when facing Su Jing was immediately revealed.

......

In a wing room on the west side of the inner courtyard, a warm mist envelops the whole room, and the pungent aroma emanates from the bath tub, gradually diffuse, and lingers in the room, making the whole wing room full of a lazy atmosphere.

Suning soaked in the bathtub, her eyes looked a little dull, and Aqin on the side silently held the wooden scoop and poured the warm water from her shoulder, and when the warm water touched Suning's body, she couldn't help but let out a slight moan.

Ah Qin was so anxious that he hurriedly asked, "But the water temperature is too hot?" ”

Suning shook his head numbly: "No, it's good." ”

"Is that something uncomfortable?"

Suning pouted and blinked slightly, only then did he come back to his senses, but he just looked at her casually, and then looked at the half of the white silk above his head with confusion and continued to be in a daze: "Do you say that your young lady wants to hang herself because of the marriage in Qingwangfu?" ”

She also probably knows that ancient women had no choice about their marriage, but if they can't marry love, it's not a good thing to be rich.

This Qing Wangfu sounds like it should be from the royal family, and it is noble after all.

Who knew that Ah Qin was very puzzled when she heard her words, and said in confusion: "I...... Our little ...... Miss? That...... Is that? ”

"Oh, it's the mother in your mouth", Suning pointed to Bai Aya: "Why can't she think about it like this?" ”

Ah Qin was even more speechless, feeling that her family Su Yiniang was confused, and said helplessly: "One ...... Yiniang, this ...... Slave and maid ...... this."

Suning looked at her little face flushed, and suddenly came to her senses, patted her forehead and muttered, "Oh, why am I so stupid, how can I be ...... How could I not think so. ”

Ah Qin brushed her shoulder with some distress: "Yiniang just woke up, don't think about these bad things, anyway, Zhao Jialangjun is not a good person." ”

"Zhao Jialangjun?" , Suning's heart sank: "Who is that?" ”

“？？？”

Ah Qin was surprised and didn't know how to answer.

I really don't know if Su Yiniang is pretending to be stupid or doing it on purpose.

Combining all the things before and after, Ah Qin realized that her family may have forgotten something.

If that's the case, it's a good thing, but it's sad anyway, and there's nothing to mention, so she said to herself: "That, that person is actually a very bad guy. ”

"Oh, that's not much to understand", Suning nodded cooperatively, but also realized that the little girl was not telling the truth.

Since she was deliberately hiding something, there was no need for her to continue to ask.
