"What about a concubine? Don't we still have a mother? My mother has an idea, not to mention that my father has always spoiled my mother, and I think I will find a good family for us. Su Yuyao has always been full of confidence in Cao Qianlian, "Even if it's not a family like the Qingdehou Mansion, at least it has to be an Earl's Mansion and a Viscount's Mansion, right?" No matter how bad the Prime Minister's Mansion is, I can see it! ”

"Third sister, wake up! Is the big room sitting there as an ornament? The eldest lady's concubine hasn't married yet, why is it our turn? Even if Qingdehou Mansion really looks down on Su Mansion, then you have to name your daughter, although the ten girls and the eleven girls are young, isn't there still a fifth sister on top? When the time comes, you can't marry her off beautifully? ”

"Su Qianyao?" When mentioning her, Su Yuyao's tone was full of disdain, "I'm older than her, what's the matter, she can still surpass me even if she is a concubine?" ”

"What about the fourth sister? People also occupy the position of a concubine, and she is about the same age as you, so she must be married off before you can be considered. ”

"I can't tell you!" Su Yuyao didn't understand why the seventh sister didn't support her so much, and she seemed to look down on her in her words, "Don't forget that you are also your mother's daughter and a concubine, if I can't marry high, then you have to marry low, I'm afraid that when the time comes, neither of us will be able to raise our heads." ”

"There is also a big brother, no matter how bad it is, we still have a younger brother under us, and we will not live miserably." Su Huiyao said, "Sister, don't worry, my mother is dedicated to our brothers, sisters, sisters and brothers, I heard that the dowry has been saved a lot, and we must be thinking of marrying higher than ourselves." ”

"That's what I said." Su Yuyao walked a few steps and sat on the stool again, "But this time the Qingdehou Mansion seems to have moved the real character, are you really not interested?" ”

The lack of interest in Su Huiyao's mouth almost came out of her mouth, and she swallowed it back raw.

Why doesn't she want to marry into the Hou Mansion? Not to mention the Hou Mansion, what she really wants to marry is the Gong Mansion, the County Lord's Mansion, or even the palace as a concubine.

Although Su Yuyao is her sister, her qualifications are not as good as Su Huiyao, and if she really marries a concubine, Su Huiyao will not be so beautiful if she is here.

But what she is most afraid of is the eldest lady's few.

occupies the position of a concubine, and has to consider them in advance, how can Su Huiyao bear it?

It's raining so hard today, so the Qingdehou Mansion is not close to here, why is their eldest lady here? Su Huiyao thought about it carefully and felt that things were not so simple.

She tells her maid, Fluttershy, to find out.

In the evening, the rain stopped, and today's rain filled the vat in the courtyard of Qinzhuxuan.

The fish in it almost swam out of the rain.

Fortunately, Qin Zhuxuan's maid reacted quickly and hurriedly covered the things.

Fluttershy returns just in time for the rain to stop, so she collects her umbrella and walks briskly towards Yingxia's house.

On the way, I met Li Xi who went to get food, and the two said a few polite words.

The masters of the two have been at odds with each other for many years, so these two people don't have a good face for each other, they look polite, but in fact, they are competing in words and expressions.

"Girl." Fluttershy places her umbrella outside in front of the porch and stands upside down against the window, and in a few moments the water droplets on the umbrella will roll down.

Su Huiyao knows that Fluttershy is back and opens the door to let her in.

"The lady of the Qingdehou Mansion has already returned."

"Didn't say anything?" Su Huiyao asked, "Didn't you say which girl you fell in love with?" ”

"The slave inquired about the maid there, saying that the lady was just here to give gifts today, not just passing by, and it was raining heavily outside, so she had no choice but to come to Sufu to take shelter from the rain, and talk to the eldest lady and the old lady by the way." Fluttershy replies.

When Su Huiyao heard these words, she almost crooked her teeth in anger.

"I knew it wasn't that simple! Good thing I didn't go out! Su Huiyao said hard words in her mouth, but her fingers became anxious with her heart, stirring the handkerchief and saying, "Isn't it that she already has a favorite daughter-in-law?" Are you really here to take shelter from the rain today? ”

"Then the slave doesn't know." Fluttershy says, as if remembering something, "The slave asks about it." ”

"Say."

"Mrs. Hou said that the lord of Shuyang intends to marry the concubine of his house to the Qingdehou Mansion, but the lady is a little reluctant."

"Lord Shuyang?" Su Huiyao thought back to this high-ranking person, who had followed her father and old lady to the wedding banquet since she could remember, but rarely saw this Shuyang county lord.

I heard that she has a withdrawn personality and has never gotten along with others.

But this title was given by His Majesty, and the position is higher than that of the Qingdehou Mansion, although she is a concubine, she can be regarded as marrying to her Marquis Mansion, how can she be reluctant?

Su Huiyao continued to ask, "How reluctant?" ”

"The maid didn't tell the slave in detail, it seemed that the maid had a disability when she came out of the womb, and the maid didn't hear it too clearly."

That's right.

The wife of the Qingdehou Mansion is here to choose a daughter-in-law, and in the future, she will take care of the Hou Mansion for her, how to let a disabled person come? Even if Gao married her from the county lord's mansion, the lady of the Hou Mansion was unwilling.

"Did you say when you would come next time?"

"I said that I would ask the eldest lady to go to the Hou Mansion for tea in a few days."

Finished.

Su Huiyao was a little resentful in her heart, thinking that if Qin Manhuai went to the Hou Mansion, she would definitely take her daughters with her, what else could she do?

"Alright, let's get out."

Fluttershy knows what her girl is thinking, that is, she is better than the sisters to marry in a beautiful way, and she will be covered by her fourth sister, Su Yuyao, who is the same as her father and mother.

I don't know if it's right or wrong for her master to think so, but Fluttershy only knows that the girl is in charge of her fortune and death, and she doesn't have to think about anything else, just listen to her.

Before going to bed at night, Su Yunyao read a book in front of the window for a while.

Usually their sisters are going to Qihuan Zhai to study and read, but a few days ago, the female scholar was sick at home, and she was the only daughter, so the old lady made the decision and let her go back to take care of her mother.

Although the female scholar was not there, Su Yunyao didn't dare to relax at all, and when she read the book, she saw a candle extinguished from the top to the root, and changed the wax to continue reading.

The window facing her was not closed, and there were a few bamboos planted outside the window, and when the wind blew through it, it rustled, and if you didn't look closely, the shadow looked like a person.

The little fox was released from the cubicle, and at the moment he was lying quietly next to the candle stand on the table, staring at Su Yunyao reading with two dark and bright round eyes.

"Girl, it's late at night, let's rest." Mother Zhao's voice came from outside the door.

"That's it." Su Yunyao said, her fingers twisted the lower right corner of the page, and turned another page.

Zhao's mother outside saw it in her eyes, it was a good thing that the girl liked to read and practice calligraphy, but she was worried that if she broke the girl's eyes, it would be worth the loss.

The next day, Su Yunyao was the first one to wake up in Qinzhuxuan, and after dressing and freshening up, she took the book she hadn't read through last night and went to the stone pier in the courtyard to read it for a while.

When Li Xi went to the kitchen to get food, her own girl cleaned it up.

"After coming out of Chang Xizhai, I will go to the family ancestral hall again, I am afraid that my mother will not be comfortable eating and drinking in it, and it will not be easy to come out, so I must go to see her." Su Yunyao said as she drank a small spoonful of porridge.

Su Moyao answered: "But I have to go!" Last night I went to the ancestral hall to see my mother, it was quite late she was still serving, the ancestral hall was very cold, although it was summer, it was easy to hurt the body, I heard that the night was resting in the ancestral hall. ”

Su Yunyao looked at her tenth sister, and her eyes almost smiled, "There are not many people who can make the tenth sister so worried, but there are not many people in our Su Mansion!" ”

"You! Keep your mouth shut! Su Moyao smiled and played with her: "If you go to serve in the ancestral hall in the future, I won't ask you a word if you live for half a year!" ”

Su Qianyao didn't like to talk at the dinner table, but when she heard her two sisters say this, she also wanted to laugh in her heart, coughed lightly, and put the porridge bowl in her hand on the table.

After breakfast, several people went to Chang Xizhai together to greet the old lady.

I also met several sisters on the way.

Fang Li's eldest girl, Su Qingyao, was the first to meet, followed by Su Jinyao, the ninth girl who came out of Liuyunzhai.

"Say hello to my sisters." Su Yunyao and Su Moyao said together.

didn't take a few steps forward, and saw the fourth girl, Su Peiyao.

"What? Yesterday my grandmother was angry like that, and today I still have a face? Su Peiyao was at the gate of Chang Xizhai, stepping on the threshold under her feet and looking condescendingly at the sisters under the steps.

"Four girls." Mama Zhou, who was beside the old lady, came over from the back room, "Girl, come down quickly, step on the threshold, what kind of body is it?" ”

Mama Zhou is Mrs. Su's confidant, and she has always been trusted by Mrs. Su, and what she said is more effective than Su Peiyao's crying.

Su Peiyao had no choice but to go down the steps unwillingly and walked up with everyone.

"Sister Qingyao is really beautiful today." Su Yunyao said as she walked, "This one is all new, right?" ”

I saw that Su Qingyao was dressed in blue today, and carefully looked at the clothes and materials, all of which were good materials, and they were embroidered with dark flowers, and they were all embroidered with good silk threads, and they were faintly shiny.

"Sister Yun'er laughed." Su Qingyao smiled lightly, "A few days ago, my grandmother's house sent a few good materials, and my mother was reluctant to wear them, so she made one for me. ”

Before Su Yunyao could say anything, she only heard Su Peiyao sneering beside her.

"Of course, if Sister Pei'er likes it, my sister can also give one to my sister." Su Qingyao said again.

"Don't." Su Peiyao turned her head and stood still at her, "I've been tired of wearing clothes of this material since I was a child, you can use them to make clothes if you like, don't send them to me, for no reason let me get poor and sour." ”

Su Yunyao noticed Su Qingyao's face, because she was lost face in public, she was red, and her ears were red.

"Grandmother has always loved me, but you can't be left with this dress?"
