Just after the hour, the first soft light of the morning sprinkled into Tianmen Street, a piece of gold. 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 two whole days, and the sound of whispering and chattering sounded in a corner of the courtyard from time to time:

"Our Su Yiniang is afraid that she is cheating the corpse, and seeing that it is about to be the time for the funeral, she actually crawled out of the coffin alive."

"The loss is that I woke up in time, if it was a few hours late, I was afraid that no one would pay attention to it."

"Did you see the faces of the second lady and the little lady Ningxiang just now, they were miserable and white, I'm afraid they were scared."

"Oh, that's also difficult for the second lady to be strong, knowing that the Zhao family's San Lang and the first lady are in love, but they just allowed the marriage of another family, 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 walking in front of them, they 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, reciting reverently and silently in front of more than ten spiritual positions and portraits of ancestors: "Fortunately, the ancestors of the Su family have been blessed and have kept the lineage of my big house. ”

There was a middle-aged man standing in front of the door, his hands wrapped in his sleeves, he had been waiting for a long time, and at this moment he looked at the lady beside him with some impatience, and the eyes of the two were facing each other in the air, but he 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 has also come back to life, you have been guarding her coffin day and night these days, 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 with great displeasure, and her face suddenly became gloomy.

Qi still closed his eyes tightly, as if he had never heard the voice of a middle-aged man.

"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 eldest brother is also a good seedling, practicing guns at the age of four, but unfortunately he was injured at the age of five, and he accidentally buried his bones at the age of sixteen. ”

"Hey", the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, 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 was silent, the morning breeze blew in, the candles flickered, and the murals on the wall seemed to tremble and tremble, faintly making a slight sound.

The middle-aged man pursed his lips and thought for a while, and then continued: "Now that the imperial court supports business and suppresses business, the law is unclear, and the salt and iron official camp may become a reality at any time. ”

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

Seeing this, the middle-aged man was overjoyed, and he became more and more diligent: "King Qing can look at Ah Ning differently, it is really my Su family's ancestors who burned high incense, I 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 still remember Da Lang's will before he died?" ”

"Brother's will is naturally remembered", the middle-aged man nodded and said: "I have also mentioned this matter to my sister-in-law many times, if my sister-in-law wants to remarry, as long as I 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 in a beautiful way, because of this matter, Geng Shaofu has also been 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 wants to take A-Ning out of 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 Boluan, you have been thinking about something all day long, my brother died early, leaving my sister-in-law and A-Ning alone, you still want their mother 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:

"Sister-in-law, even if Ning'er is unwilling, we don't have to force it as elders, 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 make this girl look for death and life again, but Qingwangfu always has to give an explanation, I think sister-in-law might as well go back and ask Ning'er what she thinks."

Qi Shi 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 Boluan sighed with a bitter face.

......

In a wing room on the west side of the inner courtyard, Suning'er had washed herself again, changed into a blue robe, and was led out of the courtyard gate by the two closest maids of Qin'er and Shuang'er, and walked towards the side hall of the front yard.

She was still a little confused and confused in her head, but those eyes full of curiosity were restless to look east for a while, and look west for a while, and the antique courtyard made her a little uncomfortable for a while.

Strange and familiar memories flooded into her mind, and she couldn't tell if she was dreaming or if something was actually happening.

In the side hall sat a young man dressed in white silk and satin, anxiously waiting, and he had been restless for a while, until he saw the familiar figure enter the door curtain, he quickly stood up, crossed his hands and saluted: "Yi Niang Boudoir." ”

"Oh?" , Suning'er was stunned, her bright eyes blinked slightly, and under the seemingly calm appearance, her heart had already begun to surge.

"What a handsome little brother."

In fact, it was almost such a straightforward revelation of his heart, and the appearance of Chen Ning with a face like a crown of jade really made Suning'er uneasy.

This face seemed familiar, as if it had come out of a dream, which made her a little confused and didn't know how to face it.

Qin'er and Shuang'er stood on both sides, looking at the scene on the field and feeling embarrassed.

A few days ago, this delicate little lady was so anxious to hang herself because she promised someone else's marriage, and heard that the person on the tip of her heart was going to marry a girl from another family.
