Fifty-Eight: Memories

"Third sister, don't you embroider a purse for Brother Qi of the Xiao family?" Su Huiyao asked.

"That Brother Qi is very strange, I don't know why I always pestered Yun Yao, last time the fourth sister came back to the door, Brother Ling and Brother Qi came, I wanted to say a word to Brother Qi, but he ignored me, turned around and went to Yun Yao, that dead girl is not very old, but she can hook people, a fox!" Su Yuyao was a little discouraged: "Seventh sister, you say, can we only marry a talented person?" Or can you only marry a mountain village puppet? ”

"Third sister, don't talk nonsense!" Su Huiyao put down the embroidery cloth and needlework, "I like the son of the Sheng family, no one can snatch him, third sister, you should do the same, then Brother Qi ignores you now, it doesn't mean that you won't be ignored in the future, Yun Yao is still young, how can we all marry out to get her, don't be afraid." ”

"But..."Su Yuyao looked at the embroidered cloth in her hand and worried, "I'm afraid that Brother Qi doesn't want it, where can I put my face when the time comes... Besides, what am I embroidering? ”

Su Huiyao blinked, "There you have!" When my mother and my father were together, my mother embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks for my father, and you also embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks. ”

"And what if he doesn't have me?"

"There are so many sons in the family, why hang yourself from a tree?"

At the beginning, Cao Qianlian hooked up with Su Yao a few times before he was drunk, embroidered two handkerchiefs and purses with mandarin ducks and sent them to Su Yao, Tan Xianghua had seen it a few times before, and they were all covered up by Su Yao, and then there was a drunkenness, which made Cao Qianlian take advantage of the loophole, and Su Yao didn't plan to give her a name after the two cooked raw rice, after all, there was an old lady at home, if she didn't agree, there would be no way, but who would have thought that Cao Qianlian had a big belly, and the old lady agreed to let her enter the door, and then married Tan Xianghua.

After giving birth to Su Yingxiao, Cao Qianlian stopped for about a year, Su Yao thought that she would not be pestering herself, but she could often receive purse handkerchiefs from Cao Qianlian's hands, several of which still had traces of blood, which inevitably made Su Yao wonder if she had pierced her hand when embroidering, and her heart felt distressed even if it was hard.

Later, he doted on Cao Qianlian more and more, gave her a name and a field shop, excused her in front of the old lady again and again, and asked the eldest lady to solve her troubles again and again.

He thought that these were all worth it, but he didn't know that these were all calculated by Cao Qianlian, just to use him.

The matter of embroidering things is not difficult for Su Yuyao and Su Huiyao sisters, although they can't paint, it doesn't mean that they can't let others paint for them, just embroider them yourself.

This time Cheng Tao did not come for nothing, and he brought a lot of things, and his mother Qin Manliu also brought a lot of jewelry to several girls.

Take out any one and you can hang Yingxiaju.

Su Yunyao and others also have a lot of good jewelry, but few of them were given by their father Su Yao, but the sisters of Yingxiaju, every time they coquettish Su Yao, they were tricked and bought them new jewelry.

It's just that the value of these jewelry is not too high, and Su Yao is not stupid, even if the concubine is dressed well, she can't go beyond the concubine, otherwise it will make people gossip when it spreads.

When Su Moyao saw these jewelry, she immediately chose a royal blue dotted emerald bead hairpin to insert in her bun, which matched the light blue dress she was wearing today. Su Qianyao took a fancy to one of the hollow orchid beads, which was very in line with her temperament, blowing like an orchid, and it was an orchid that was not fully blooming.

Su Yunyao still vaguely remembers that when she was a child, she went back to her grandmother's house with her mother, and her mother took her and her two sisters to Yangzhou Houfu, which was very close to her grandfather's house.

Aunt Qin Manliu is a person who does not want to think blindly and does not rub sand in her eyes, most people know this, the reason why her grandfather and grandmother are relieved of her life in the Cheng family is because of her temperament, she will not be bullied easily, and the second is that her son-in-law Cheng Yuanhuai is a motivated, there are not so many twists and turns, and there are only two concubines who have been married for many years, and there is only one son like Cheng Tao, Cheng Yuanhuai naturally loves Qin Manliu more.

However, the grandfather's family was not worried about Qin Manhuai.

Su Yunyao understands this, in fact, her mother is not weak and bullying, but she is too good to her father, so good that she is so good that she fully forbears what he did to the Cao family, and she is devoted to the Su family, focusing on the overall situation in everything, but she doesn't pay so much attention to how her life is, and she is busy all for this Su family.

How did my grandfather and grandmother feel at ease?

When she went to Cheng's house when she was a child, Su Yunyao didn't remember much, she only remembered that she hadn't been there since she was a little older, but she had seen her aunt and uncle in Xunjing, and Cheng Tao's cousin had come more often than them.

can vaguely remember, Su Yunyao can only remember that from her grandfather's house to Cheng's house, she had to pass by a reed, it was windy weather at that time, and the breeze blew through the reeds, and she felt at ease when she heard it in the carriage.

I still remember that feeling of peace of mind.

When I arrived at Cheng's house, there was a small garden on the east side of the courtyard, and my aunt used to like to play with those flowers and plants, and she couldn't be idle when she became a marquise.

This kind of temperament that likes to play with flowers and plants is surprisingly similar to Lixi.

That time Lisheng and Lixi also went, they were not very old, not much different from Su Yunyao, and their aunt gave each of them a few seeds in the palm of their hands for them to plant, and later returned to Xunjing Cheng's house to write that the flower planted by Lisheng died within two days, and Lixi's flower sprouted.

That's talent.

The style of the Cheng family is very similar to the He family of Qingdehou, but most of the flowers and plants planted by the He family are flowers and plants that need to be pampered in the south, the wind blows and the rain cannot be drenched, and it is easy to kill them when the sun is exposed for a long time.

Cheng Tao's cousin also brought a lot of delicate and small objects, saying that his aunt was worried about Su Moyao's playfulness and liked those gadgets, among which there was a pair of small bells made of jade, and Su Moyao gave one to Su Yunyao.

Su Qianyao is a quiet character, Qin Manliu understands her best, treats her as a girl, and often complains to Cheng Tao, "Why did I give birth to such a stupid son as you?" I knew that when you were young, I hugged your aunt and exchanged the shallow girl for it. ”

As for what she likes, Qin Manliu is also clear, and sent two books of poetry, as well as a painting, which has been circulated for hundreds of years, if it doesn't happen to be in the hands of the Cheng family, it can be worth thousands of taels casually.

Such a valuable thing suddenly caught Su Qianyao off guard.

Etiquette is basic, not only brought things to his niece, Qin Manliu also brought two volumes of Buddhist scriptures embroidered on brocade to the old lady of the Su family, from the hands of the master of the South China Sea, the gold is extraordinary, I knew that the old lady sincerely worshiped the Buddha, and it could be regarded as her favor.

The old lady was indeed happy, the next day a few children came together to say goodbye, took this Buddhist scripture, the old lady who smiled couldn't close her mouth, and said politely to Cheng Tao, "Don't send such a valuable thing next time, if you send me again, I won't accept it!" ”

Chang Xizhai was full of joy, and it can be said that he stabbed the eyes of Yingxiaju's mother and daughter.

Cheng Tao has been staying at Su's house for two nights, and today is officially asking the old lady for good morning, so Su Yao brought Su Yingxiao from Lin Manju in order to look good.

He looks down on Cheng Tao's 'little child', in Su Yingxiao's eyes, Cheng Tao is just a child who has not grown up, relying on his father's ability to pick up an official, and he doesn't know what to publicize.

Every time his father looked at Cheng Tao's eyes full of appreciation, Su Yingxiao felt deeply disgusted, and thought, 'If you weren't just a fifth-grade official, I wouldn't have been an official until now?' ’

Of course, Su Yao didn't know anything about this idea, otherwise he would have to break Su Yingxiao's legs.

Su Yuyao was very disdainful of Cheng Tao, and didn't even give him a straight face, while Su Huiyao was more sensible than Su Yuyao, and she did a good job on the face, and she talked to Cheng Tao during lunch together, telling him to burn it carefully.

Su Yunyao and Su Moyao on the side, can they not know what Su Huiyao thinks in her heart?

"You go sit next to your cousin." Su Yunyao said, and the two sat beside Cheng Tao on the left and right.

Even if Su Huiyao didn't have that mind, then they would never allow Su Huiyao to beat her cousin's idea! It's disgusting!

In fact, Su Huiyao really didn't have that mind, but the Tao family was really good, and he could sit on an equal footing with the Qingde Hou Mansion, and he still had face in the royal family, although it was not as good as the Ningguo Mansion, it could be regarded as climbing a high branch.

If it was really possible, Su Huiyao would also be willing.

She didn't want to hang herself on a tree, other girls were not allowed to get close to Sheng Changyu, but she could make another calculation to the sons of other families, this was Su Huiyao's real thoughts. Sheng Changyu doesn't want her to be fine, as long as she can marry beautifully.

The old lady was rarely so happy, and she kept reminding during the banquet, "Brother Tao tasted that soup, I told the kitchen to start stewing before dawn, and now it's just right." ”

"Bihe, arrange for someone to make another tomato juice lotus root slices for Brother Tao, I think Brother Tao likes to eat it."

"Brother Tao carefully looked at the fish bones, but don't prick your throat."

Cao Qianlian couldn't be served as a concubine, but today's banquet was not small, there was a place for her to eat, Su Hui and the eldest lady Fang Li in the second room were also there, the third lady in the big room Kang Jinglan was also there, and the fourth lady Liu He didn't come because she was unwell.

She saw that the old lady cared about Cheng Tao one by one, and Brother Tao one by one, like her own grandson, she clenched her chopsticks angrily.

When her eldest son Su Yingxiao was born, she didn't see the old lady like this, but because of herself, she has expressed her dislike for Brother Xiao'er more than once, but now she cares about other people's sons here?

But she didn't want to think about how well the old lady treated her youngest son Su Yingchen, all she remembered was who couldn't stand her.
