Sixty-Six: Complaining
Since he told Su Yao about proposing marriage to his eldest daughter, there has been no news of this matter at all, Cao Qianlian is looking forward to it left and right, and he is stunned and has not looked forward to any news.
As the days passed, seeing that Yuan Chun was doing well, but there was no news of his eldest daughter's family affairs, Cao Qianlian couldn't sit still at all.
In the evening, Su Yao had official business, and he wanted to rest in Yu Hongyuan and fall asleep after being busy, but he didn't want Liu's mother to come to Yingxiaju, saying that the second lady had an unbearable headache and wanted the lord to go over and have a look.
Su Yao pursed his lips, he was reluctant to take care of his official duties, his body was tired, and by the time he was done, it was already dark, and the entire Su Mansion was already immersed in sleep.
Thinking that Cao Qianlian was resting like this, Su Yao was also ready to sleep in wide clothes, not wanting the magpie next to her to come again, saying that the second lady couldn't sleep with a headache, and the doctor prescribed tranquilizers to no avail, and she was so flustered that she had to see the lord.
These words made Su Yao sigh, and he had to put on his coat and go to Yingxia House with the magpie.
This was rubbing and coaxing again, Cao Qianlian finally stopped crying and had a headache, and the maids in the house all withdrew, leaving only the two of them. Cao Qianlian was lying on Su Yao's lap, squinting slightly and talking about the past.
That is to say, the old lady did not agree with them being together before, how difficult it was at that time, and how difficult it is for the two to stay together now.
It was an honest speech, but it touched Su Yao's sadness, although the man didn't flick his tears when he had tears, he still wet his eyes.
Cao Qianlian opened her eyes, coaxed and wiped with a handkerchief, and lost it for a long time, but Su Yao was fine, but Cao Qianlian cried a lot, Su Yao coaxed her in turn, but didn't want her to fall directly into his arms.
"The concubine knows that she shouldn't mention those old things to make Da Lang sad, but it's really a pity that she is worried and can't sleep well, and now I want to fold two plum blossoms and insert them in a bottle in Yu Hongyuan, so that Da Lang is in a better mood every day, but the maid who came out of nowhere arranged the concubine and Yu'er in the corner, saying that our Yu'er boss is not small and has no family affairs, the lord's eccentricity and the eldest lady are one of them, there must be something unspeakable and hidden is the second, maybe there is something inconvenient to say about the body, these words make the concubine body listen to the shame and annoyance, When I came back, I started to have a headache..."
Su Yao became anxious when he heard this, and helped Cao Qianlian up with both arms, and asked, "Which maid said that?" Dare to arrange it like this, you have to sell her! ”
Cao Qianlian threw herself into Su Yao's arms again, tears soaked his underwear, and Su Yao felt the heat and wetness on his chest through his clothes, and his heart suddenly felt distressed again.
"What does it matter if the maid said that? How many people inside and outside are laughing at Yu'er and the concubine now? We pretended not to hear it many times, and we were silent in the face of those cynicisms, the poor child was really bitter in his heart, Da Lang understand? ”
Su Yao rubbed her back lovingly, her hair was fragrant.
"Why don't I know? But right now, I'm really entangled in official business, and I can't leave! ”
"Then we can't delay Yu'er!" Cao Qianlian sat up straight, "It's not Da Lang's business to deal with the lady of the side family, it depends on the eldest lady, if the eldest lady has the heart to plan for Yu'er, maybe Yu'er's family matter has already been done!" ”
"I can't say that, the eldest lady is so busy managing family affairs, I haven't seen her go out to socialize with people a few times, and even she doesn't have the time to look at the object, you shouldn't blame the eldest lady." Su Yaoyi said righteously.
One yard to one yard, he still understands this idea.
Cao Qianlian squeezed out two more tears: "Where do you dare to blame the eldest lady?" Dalang, you misunderstood the pity! Li'er just thought, let the eldest lady make a force, and wait until the spring of the next year to find an auspicious day to marry Yu'er, doesn't this also fulfill Li'er's wish and the face of the Su family! ”
"That's what you said." Su Yao thought that this was indeed the case, the third daughter was indeed the eldest and not small, but she didn't even say anything about her family, which was really not like it.
But as soon as he expressed this meaning, he heard Cao Qianlian immediately say the next sentence: "The first few times Xiao Qi, the sister-in-law of the Changjun Palace, came to talk and laugh with our Yu'er, and now Pei'er is married to the Xiao family, we can't let Yu'er delay, right?" It's better to kiss the Xiao family, and the concubine looks at Brother Qi'er and has a good impression of Yu'er. ”
Su Yao didn't take this matter seriously, and said casually, "What are you talking about?" Xiao Qi is a son-in-law, the daughter of our Su family can only be married to a concubine, don't think about beautiful things, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, the Yang family, has always loved her son, Xiao Qi's marriage must pass her pass to succeed, our Yu'er is okay to marry to a lower family, marry to the Xiao family, it is impossible. ”
"But..."Cao Qianlian cried twice, "But the eldest lady of our family is from everyone's background, Da Lang's brother-in-law is a marquis, and the old lady's maiden family also has a background, so these layers add up to not enough for Yu'er to marry." ”
Su Yao was happy to be said by her, wiped away the tears on her face with a smile, and said earnestly, "To be honest, I take care of Yu'er's family affairs more or less, I have seen a few people's sons, either the foundation is shallow or high, or the upbringing is not good or does not marry a concubine, I will continue to stare at this matter, you can rest assured that I will not lose Yu'er, but you don't have to worry about the affairs of Changjun Wangfu, Xiao Qi's child has no catties, even if he marries, he has no good future, marry such an uncle, are you relieved or I am relieved?" Besides, the Yang family doesn't look at our eldest lady and doesn't look at who my brother-in-law is, she only looks at one point is the family background of Yu'er's mother, how do you tell you about the family background? Yang would certainly not agree. ”
Hearing this, Cao Qianlian's face turned red and white, and she just wanted to say something, but Su Yao was too tired to talk to her, so she only left a sentence to go to bed early and pulled the quilt and turned over to sleep.
The angry Cao Qianlian secretly gritted her silver teeth, thinking that she must let Yu'er and Xiao Qi's matter be successful, and she didn't fight for steamed buns or for breath, why should her Yu'er be inferior?
The second gate of the morning sent someone to hand over the post, saying that it was looking for the girl from Qinzhuxuan to drink tea together, it was a post sent by the Sheng family, and it was also said that there were people from Qingde Houfu, and Su Qingyao and Su Jinyao of the Su family were specially invited to go together.
"The Sheng family is really good at doing things, and every time they go out with us, they don't forget to bring their cousin and ninth sister." Su Moyao took the post and said.
After the spring of the first year, the search for the capital is not as lively as the ordinary, and almost all the girls and sons of the family have to go out for a walk and have a play.
Su Yunyao asked An Shi to talk to Qin Manhuai and the old lady about it, and when they saw that the elders agreed, the girls packed up and left the house.
This time the place is still Ningwei Building, the Sheng family came earlier, followed by the Su family, and the He family was a little late, but it was the front and back feet, so it didn't delay things.
The He family is also a frequent visitor to Ningwei Building, and they have already explained to Sheng Guizhi what they want to eat, and let Sheng Guizhi arrange it with full authority, even if they are late, it doesn't matter, the food has just come up when they come.
Not only He Nianning came this time, but He Muchen and He Muhuai, two busy people, also had a hard time coming out.
"Sister Nianning won't come to my house for a while." Su Moyao was a little blamed, "It's a shame that I also prepared the tea you like." ”
He Nianning smiled: "Why don't you know that you are waiting for me?" It's really a strict family guard, and Yuanchun is worshipping the ancestors and cleaning up, and he can't get out! As soon as there is a vacancy, I am busy telling my mother, let Guizhi give you a post to ask you to come out! ”
This is the first time that all three families have been there.
"What, your cousin went back?" Sheng Guizhi saw that Cheng Tao didn't come, so he asked casually.
Su Qianyao replied, "I went back, saying that I would come again before the Chinese New Year, and I had to wait for news whether I would come or not, and it was eighty percent accurate." ”
Sheng Guizhi responded as if nothing.
Su Moyao accidentally soiled her dress during the meal, Su Qianyao hurriedly helped her clean up, before and after the saddle, she was also worried about her reputation, the two of them deliberately ran behind the screen, and when they came out, they also apologized again and again, for fear of losing someone.
But who at the table didn't know Su Moyao's recklessness and dishonesty? Dole didn't take it to heart.
Not far away, the county lord of Shuyang looked at Su Qianyao, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and asked the maid next to him, "Who is the girl who soiled her clothes?" ”
The maid replied, "It's my sister-in-law, and they were all born to the eldest lady of the Su family." ”
The county lord of Shuyang agreed, and said casually, "They were both born by a mother, and the personalities of these two sisters are quite different, one is sensible and reasonable, and the other is frizzy." ”
The maid laughed with her, and added some tea to the cup of the lord of Shuyang, "This Qianyao girl is indeed a courtesy, the slave and maid have inquired a lot, Dijing doesn't have much to do with her, it can be seen that she is not public, and a little bit of water is all good words, either polite or demure and generous, I heard that the Su family has begun to help the lady in charge, and Mrs. Su is also very attentive to this granddaughter." ”
The county lord of Shuyang took a sip of tea and didn't say anything else.
The maid said again, "It is rumored that Miss Xuantong of the Eldest Princess's Mansion seems to have had a disagreement with Miss Qianyao, and the slave maid also inquired about this, saying that it was in Yingqiu Lake that Miss Qianyao won a game of chess against her, which caused gossip." ”
"What kind of goods is Liu Juetong? That is, those who have no city in their hearts also think she is a good girl, I see that her eyes are full of calculations, and when she sees me Yu'er, she keeps sticking, what good sound can she spit out from her mouth? ”
Although this Shuyang county lord is not easy to get along with, he is extremely accurate in looking at people.
Su Qianyao didn't know that someone was watching her, she didn't say a word during the meal, but she had been silently taking care of her sisters, Sheng Changyu treated her well, but she didn't dare to look at Sheng Changyu.
The county lord of Shuyang saw it in his eyes, and he didn't know what Su Qianyao thought in his heart, was he shy or didn't like his son? Are you embarrassed or don't have that heart for your son?
Even if that elm pimple head likes other people's girls, it must be that other people's girls also like you, right? For a while, the county lord of Shuyang was anxious for some reason, and complained that his son was unproductive.
