One hundred and sixty-two: heavy rain
Before Meng Ruoqian left, Su Yunyao and the others didn't even see each other, but Qin Manhuai said that she left a memory for each of the girls.
Except for Su Huiyao.
What was left for Su Jinyao was a red gold Yingluo longevity lock, what was left for Su Moyao was a pair of white jade double butterfly flying bracelets, and what was left for Su Yunyao was a brush wash of ink and jade, because Su Yunyao likes to read and write, as for the youngest Su Wanyao, Meng Ruoqian chose a fragrant wood bracelet for her.
Su Wanyao's health is not good, this fragrant wood bracelet has the effect of calming the mind and helping sleep, and it can be regarded as Meng Ruoqian's intentions.
When she left, everyone was a little reluctant, although she didn't have any deep friendships in the past, but she also called her sister-in-law for a few years.
Su Wanyao's tears flowed down uncontrollably, but Su Yunyao was unmoved, and comforted and said, "You should be happy for Sister Ruoqian, she asked the big brother to be a scumbag, and she will live a better life in the future." ”
It was the first time for Su Yunyao to scold her brother for being a scumbag behind her back, but she felt that she was scolding well.
The snake head that Lu Yuanyi caught last time was tortured, but he didn't vomit anything useful.
According to what they said, it was really like Bai Chuheng's hunch, they had only seen the person who sent them tasks and gave money, and as for who that person was, they didn't know who it was, so they knew that he was looking for someone outside the capital, and his nickname was Wu Mazi.
No matter how carefully they torture, there is nothing else, they don't know the people above, and they don't even feel comfortable with each other, they do this just to make a living, because the money they earn is more than farming, and the main thing is that it is not easy to be caught.
They are one ring after another, and any of them is broken in vain, which is probably the reason why the imperial court has not completely exterminated these snakeheads entrenched in the mountains for so many years.
I thought they would know something, as long as they spoke, it was only a matter of time before Cao Qianlian confessed, but this time Su Yunyao was wrong, those people were much smarter than she thought.
Although Su Huiyao was grounded, Qin Manhuai began to worry about her marriage.
In order not to appear in a hurry, from looking for someone, to discussing relatives, to the next date, you have to prepare a dowry, then you have to wait, if you don't hurry up now, you will have to be anxious in the future.
What Su Huiyao's character is, not only Qin Manhuai and the old lady know it, but even Su Yao can see it clearly, she is definitely not suitable for marrying high.
Not to mention that no one would want her, even if it was really a high-ranking dignitary who wanted to marry her as the wife of the family, would she be competent? It would be good not to embarrass her mother's family at that time, in case she uses some unsavory means, she will not succeed enough to fail, and she will be involved in her mother's family, and it will be too late to regret it when the time comes.
So Su Yao took the initiative to say to Qin Manhuai this time, just find an equal family to marry Su Huiyao, it doesn't matter if the family background is not thick, as long as you don't lose the face of the Su family and don't let her climb the high branches, then how to arrange it is up to Qin Manhuai's wishes.
She also immediately searched for a few school-age sons.
It just so happens that her sister Qin Manliu is also there, and the marriage of her son Cheng Tao and Sheng Guizhi will be completed in half a year, she will not be able to return to Yangzhou during this time, and it is estimated that she will also be looking for Beijing during the New Year.
She is a marquise, and she must know a lot of sons and brothers, and it is appropriate for her to come forward to pick and choose.
There is a son surnamed Jia in this year's Zhongxing list, who lives in Yangzhou, which happens to be the hometown of the Cheng family, if Su Huiyao really marries, the Cheng family will be able to take care of it more or less in the future, but the Jia family is not too rich, and the whole family is counting on this surname Jia.
His ranking is just behind Su Yingkuan.
Qin Manhuai shook his head when he heard this, "Hui Yao, that kid has a high spirit, and he will definitely not agree to marry a poor family." ”
Qin Manliu flipped through the two pages in his hand, "There is also a silk merchant's eldest son, his family is rich, and his business is not big or small, but it is not as good as the business of your second wife, Fang's mother's family."
Hearing this person, Qin Manhuai took the paper and looked at it carefully, and asked, "How old is this person?" How's it looking? ”
"That's what I'm going to tell you!" Qin Manliu said, "That son's eyes are above the top, although he is a businessman, but I heard that he has a relative who is an official in the court, so this marriage object has been picky and undecided, mainly because he can't find someone who suits him, and it has been delayed until the age of twenty-five." ”
"Twenty-five? This one is a bit big, right? "Qin Manhuai can't make up her mind" Hui Yao, she wants to marry both an official family and a rich family, what is the best Hou Mansion Mansion, which stuffed her with a business son who was so much older than her, she must not be willing. ”
"She's just an ignorant concubine, you don't have to worry too much about her, if it's good, she treated Mo Yao and them very badly in the past, you worry so much, she doesn't remember your good."
Qin Manhuai nodded, why didn't she understand this truth?
Almost in the evening, when the supper was over, suddenly dark clouds rolled up, and the sky darkened for no reason, and a thunderclap exploded, and the raindrops the size of beans fell overwhelmingly, like pouring water, and in the blink of an eye, they wet the ground.
An autumn rain and a cold, after this rain, I am afraid that it will be colder, maybe after this rain, it will snow again.
The weather is the most uncertain.
Su Yunyao sat on the chair, she was not in a very good mood, she thought that she could bring down Cao Qianlian this time, but she was still one step behind, she had already paid the price with her life, but it still didn't work.
She snuggled next to her tenth sister Su Moyao, Su Moyao was looking at the travelogue that Su Qianyao liked to read before her death, there were not only words on it, but also paintings, but the paintings were all colorless, but the lines were outlined with ink, and you could vaguely see what the picture was.
Liu Ya and Songyin sat on the side with needles and threads, one preparing to embroider a handkerchief and the other preparing to sew clothes, and Lisheng was sorting out Su Yunyao's jewelry box.
When it's cold, it's inevitable to wear a heavier one, and if you wear it more, you will be more tired with a bunch of hairpin rings on your head, so Lisheng will pick out those that are not light and put them away, and find those that are light and not heavy.
This rain is not small, and the humidity is heavy on rainy days, which feels the moisture when you lie on your stomach with the lights lit in the house.
Lisheng ordered to go down, and there were two third-class maids, Lin Dong and Yangmeng, who carried umbrellas to get the charcoal basin.
"I heard that my mother is now choosing a husband for the seventh sister."
Su Moyao sneered, "Even if it's going to be hard, Seventh Sister is like that, with every title on her body, she really can't look down on it." ”
"Who made our mother the eldest lady, this matter will fall on her." Su Yunyao asked, "Tenth sister, what kind of family do you want Seventh Sister to marry?" ”
Su Moyao hadn't thought about this question, so she put down the book in her hand and thought about it carefully.
"I think the seventh brother-in-law doesn't say that the crooked melon and cracked jujube can't be too good-looking, it's best if the family is defeated, a group of people chase and kill, and since the marriage, he has to hide in Tibet to live a fearful life, the family background can be said to be nothing, not only that, but also owes a lot of money, it is best to let her make up for the dowry, and there is, the mother-in-law must be fierce and terrible, not like our mother, she is too easy to talk, and finally like the second sister's mother-in-law Zhu, she is more powerful than her, such a person is the most suitable for the seventh sister!"
This... Is this a communiqué vendetta?
"You hate Sister Seven so much?" Su Yunyao asked with a smile.
"Of course." Su Moyao rarely said so seriously, "Cao Qian pitied her for killing the fifth sister, she is not a good thing, she has her share of killing the fifth sister, this kind of person, I wish the heavens would send a thunder to split her every day." ”
The people in the room instantly burst out laughing, and no one held back.
At night, the bed tent isolated the bed tightly from three acres of land, and for some reason, Su Yunyao thought of Bai Chuheng again.
I've forgotten that it's really the first time I've taken the initiative to think of him.
What happened to his injuries? Did he pay attention to his injuries? How's the antidote he's looking for? Is everything going well?
Unconsciously, Su Yunyao blushed and buried her head tightly in the quilt.
After a long time, a familiar feeling of suffocation swept her again, and she suddenly remembered that day when she was underwater, Bai Chuheng kissed her. Although she deliberately forgot this, she couldn't forget it no matter what, and she didn't dare to tell others, she couldn't throw it away in her heart.
Obviously, the room was a little cold, and the charcoal basin had been taken out, but she still felt very hot, so she got out of bed and fanned her face with her hand and poured a cup of tea.
Songyin, who was keeping vigil outside, heard the movement of her own girl, and put on her clothes and asked outside the door, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No... Nothing, I'm thirsty. ”
There is a feeling of being a thief.
After eating tea, Su Yunyao quickly climbed into bed, listening to the sound of the rain outside that had gradually subsided and fell asleep.
This time is not only to worry about Su Huiyao's marriage, Su Yingkuan is also a big boss, and it is time to have a family affair, although it is still early to get married, but it is time to discuss marriage.
Kang Jinglan is a person who can't hold her breath in her heart, she doesn't want to wait for her son to get married after the exam, and after a few years, all the good girls are married, which one can still take her son's turn?
So this early in the morning, she hurried to Su Ningyuan and told Qin Manhuai about it, and kept saying that she was embarrassed and didn't want to go.
"What are you polite to me, helping Hui Yao find her mother-in-law's house is also looking for it, helping Ying Kuan find her daughter-in-law is also looking for it, I have searched around the young people of the right age, it doesn't take much effort, and it is also my negligence, I have forgotten Ying Kuan's marriage."
Kang Jinglan nodded hurriedly, "What Mrs. said is, originally I thought that Ying Kuan would have a chance in the future, and we would marry a good daughter-in-law in a beautiful way, but now I don't think it should be, and now this search for the capital is either just the right age, or ten years younger than Ying Kuan, eight years old, and less than Xu, if I am not in a hurry now, I will be in a hurry when Ying Kuan really marries his wife!" ”
"I heard that not only our big room, but also the second room is also looking for relatives for Brother An, but Brother An hasn't come back yet, and I don't know where to go to play."
