Seventy-three: Tangled
"Wait a minute, do you mean that your brother likes my fifth sister? Does the county lord know? Does she agree? ”
I had heard that the county lord of Shuyang was arrogant, and Su Yunyao didn't believe that she accepted Su Qianyao so easily.
Sheng Guizhi also knew that she didn't believe it, smiled and said seriously, "My mother, she sees people accurately, and when she met, she said that your third sister and seventh sister have a bad character, and also said that your fifth sister is good, although Lord Su's official position is not high, but your Su family is also a clean and honest door, not to mention that my mother and she have been guarding us for half her life, naturally our happiness is the most important, my brother is talking about Sister Qian'er all day long, and he wants to come back to class, my mother's ears are calloused." ”
Su Yunyao nodded thoughtfully.
"You speak, as far as you know, does Sister Qian'er mean anything to my brother?" Sheng Guizhi got closer, with a gossip on his face.
"This..."Su Yunyao looked back, and then turned back, "How can I say this?" ”
Sheng Guizhi was a little anxious: "Why don't you ask?" ”
But this girl from the eunuch family, which one declares who she likes? Su Yunyao didn't wait to ask and knew that there was no play, and the fifth sister would definitely not tell the truth, maybe she would have to count herself down if she was shy.
"Forget it, after the New Year, let my mother come here to hire me." Sheng Guizhi said seriously, not paying attention to how surprised Su Yunyao next to her was.
Will the fifth sister agree to marry into the Sheng family?
Will the mother father agree?
The fifth sister is about to get married?
For a while, Su Yunyao had mixed tastes, her head was messy, and she didn't know how to get back to the fifth sister's side. Su Qianyao thought she was uncomfortable, so she touched her forehead, and Su Yunyao grabbed her hand and put it down, looking at her intently, her eyes were a little complicated.
After a while, Su Yunyao plucked up the courage to ask in her ear.
After asking these words, Su Qianyao's face immediately turned red, and she looked closely in all directions, and saw that no one was paying attention to her, and she twisted Su Yunyao's arm fiercely, "Dead girl, what are you talking about!" ”
At this moment, Su Qianyao's face is very exciting, like a ripe pomegranate, red in white, and white in red.
"Fifth sister, I'm asking you about business!" Su Yunyao was unusually serious: "You can be mentally prepared." ”
Without waiting for Su Qianyao to speak, she hurriedly ran away.
Don't look at the fifth sister's weak and inflexible appearance in the past, this pinching person is quite painful, Su Yunyao is afraid that she will be screwed by her if she says more.
Su Huiyao came back from the flower hall, took off her cloak angrily, and yelled at Cao Qianlian, "The arrogant appearance of the county lord of Shuyang is really disgusting!" ”
"What's wrong with my daughter?" Cao Qianlian was a little puzzled, and took the cloak that Su Huiyao took off on behalf of the maid.
"Mother, we have to think about it, it's good that the county lord of Shuyang came to talk to the fifth sister today, but he didn't even look at me, Ning Guogong also came today, and he also rewarded Qinzhuxuan!"
Su Yuyao also came over and said yes.
Cao Qianlian pondered for a while and asked, "Are the county lords of Shuyang and Ning Guogong coming for the five girls?" ”
The two daughters nodded in unison.
Not only did the two girls see the clues, but Qin Manhuai even noticed that something was wrong.
The lord of Shuyang has always been used to being high, he doesn't like to make friends with people, and he doesn't have many friends, where has he personally come to the door like recently?
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
Think about the face she had when she looked at her eldest daughter, as if a weasel had seen a chick and almost devoured her alive.
Qin Manhuai returned to Su Ning Yuan, thinking carefully about the relationship between Sheng Changyu and his eldest daughter during this time.
From the beginning of playing chess in Yingqiu Lake, inexplicably the Sheng family went to the Su family to go to the official school, and then they could see each other almost every day, even if they didn't see each other and didn't go to school, they would make an appointment to go out to the restaurant.
Today, my parents are here with me!
Qin Manhuai suddenly couldn't sit still, didn't this Sheng family take a fancy to her daughter?
Su Yao can't drink much, he is not at all like his cousin Su Hui, his face turned red after a few glasses, and if he drank more, he would pull Ning Guogong's sleeve and talk to others, fortunately, Ning Guogong was famous, otherwise his shameful appearance would not necessarily be disliked.
As for the fact that people came to see his daughter, he didn't know about it, and Qin Manhuai couldn't go with him.
So she thought about it, put on a cloak and came to Chang Xi Zhai.
The old lady did not attend the meeting, but was half-lying on the kang with a cup of ginseng tea, listening to the eldest daughter-in-law, and looking up at her from time to time.
"You mean, not only Brother Yu fell in love with the five girls, but even Ning Guogong and the county lord of Shuyang also had that thought?"
Qin Manhuai nodded: "I'm afraid." ”
The old lady paused, raised her hand and Qin Manhuai took the teacup, sat up straight, and said slowly, "I know a little bit about this Shuyang County Lord, since Brother Yu grew up, the people who want to talk to his family can be said to have broken the threshold, but she doesn't want to, but is interested in Yao'er, the daughter of a five-grade official family, what does this mean?" ”
Qin Manhuai nodded slightly, "Because she is sincere?" ”
"One is because Yao'er's career is just right, not the kind of career that doesn't work, maybe there will be a big future in the future, and the second is because Brother Yu really likes our Qian'er, the county lord of Shuyang feels sorry for his son, and Qian'er is really a good child, so she can only agree, and third, because our Su family is a civil official, and marrying with our family will not be bad for his family's reputation."
Qin Manhuai nodded, "Mother has analyzed thoroughly." ”
"And what do you think?" The old lady asked rhetorically, "Are you willing to let Qian'er marry?" ”
Qin Manhuai thought for a moment, his expression was full of hesitation, and after a while, he said, "I don't know, I don't know if Brother Yu is a worthy of marriage, if it is an unworthy person, then Qian'er's life is over." ”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady burst out laughing.
"You, in the end, are you tender, not as transparent as me, an old woman!" It was rare for the old lady to smile at Qin Manhuai like this: "Why did I insist on marrying Pei'er to the Xiao family in the first place? is to see that the fourth aunt is upright, he will not treat Pei'er badly, and he is a concubine, the Yang family has never been concerned about the concubine, so that the life of the four girls after marriage will not be too difficult, I see that Brother Yu'er's character is on par with the fourth aunt, this is secondary, the important thing is how many high-ranking dignitaries in Xunjing want to marry their daughters into the Sheng family, which one is favored by Brother Yu? Just look at our shallow children, that is, there is fate, not to mention that the county lord loves his son like his life, and with Brother Yu taking care of her, she doesn't dare to give her daughter-in-law too much face, what are you worried about? Don't hurry up with this good family matter, when you go back to say goodbye to Qian'er, you still have to look left and right, when can you have a head? ”
"Mother said yes, but I came from Qian'er, I'm afraid that no one wants her to be happy more than me..."
"Nonsense!" Although the old lady's voice was a little higher, she was still full of smiles, "Qian'er is my own granddaughter, and she is so well-behaved and obedient, I treat her the same as Pei'er Jing'er, but she has your mother-in-law to take care of, I can rest assured that I don't care about her less than you!" ”
Qin Manhuai bowed his head and said yes.
The old lady said again, "The so-called quick knife to cut the mess is what it means, don't let go of a good family matter, otherwise you have to think carefully about each family, afraid that Qian'er will be unhappy, afraid that Qian'er will be wronged, and when you really figure out who Qian'er should marry, she will become an old woman, so don't marry at all!" ”
"What does my mother mean, Brother Yu can be entrusted to Qian'er for life?"
"How can a man be smooth all the time in this life? Occasionally, there are some storms, and you let her be quite upright, like Jing'er in the Gu family, I didn't say that she wrote and left the book, right? Everyone has their own fate, not to mention anything else, looking at the entire imperial capital, which mother-in-law can come to see her daughter-in-law when she is not married? What person who is as tall as the lord of the county can lower his stature? The county lord has sacrificed for her son's happiness, isn't this also her sincerity? ”
"Yes..."Qin Manhuai felt that what the old lady said was reasonable, but she still wanted to think about it.
It was Su Qianyao, who didn't fall asleep all night after hearing her sister ask her like that.
Could it be that Sheng Changyu really likes her? With her eyes closed like a marquee, Su Qianyao looked at every meeting she had with Sheng Changyu after she met, from the chess pavilion in Yingqiu Lake, the two met each other, smiled at each other when they played chess, blushed slightly when they met in front of Qihuan Zhai, and didn't dare to look at each other's eyes when they went to Ningwei Lou to eat, what did these mean?
Su Qianyao doesn't understand, this is what people often say about feelings? Like someone is like this?
No wonder she would heat up slightly every time she saw Sheng Changyu, and she wanted to run out and not be under the same roof as him, but she wished to stay for a while longer, this feeling was contradictory.
That's not proof... Does she like him too?
I didn't sleep well at night, and I naturally didn't have energy the next day, and when a few girls arrived at Chang Xizhai to ask for peace, Su Qianyao was a little tired.
The old lady saw it, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.
It was Su Huiyao, who held her breath in her chest all night, even if she usually warned herself that she couldn't be like the third sister, putting ugly words and terrible expressions on the bright side, now she couldn't help it.
"Fifth sister didn't sleep well? Is the bracelet that the county lord gave you yesterday too valuable, causing you to stay up all night? The corners of Su Huiyao's mouth forced a smile, and she looked at Su Qianyao with murderous anger in her eyes.
"Seventh sister misunderstood, the cold wind blew outside last night all night, and I have never been in good health, so I just didn't rest."
"Really?" Su Huiyao sneered, "I thought that the fifth sister was a good girl who was ice clear and jade, but yesterday I saw you smiling and blushing with the county lord of Shuyang, and there was quite a kind of cozy attitude, didn't you fall in love with the brother of the Sheng family, and I couldn't control it when I saw the county lord of Shuyang, right?" ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard the old lady slap the table hard, "Shut up!" ”
