Seventy-five: low marriage

This heavy snow came suddenly, and I heard that many homeless people froze to death, and the same was true for Su Fu, and the girls were eager to put on two cloaks.

"This kind of old lady still asks us to say goodbye, and she is not too cold to panic, she really doesn't have to go out, and she doesn't know how distressed people are." Su Huiyao and Su Yuyao couldn't stop complaining on the way to Xizhai.

"Who's to say it isn't." Su Yuyao's gold-threaded embroidered shoes were full of snow, and her mouth was full of complaints, "God really doesn't let people live a good life, this day is cold like this, not to mention the sins of the living, it is difficult for us to go out in the cold weather to say goodbye, to say that the old lady is really a ruthless person!" ”

A few steps away, they didn't know how many bad words they had said about the old lady.

When I arrived at Chang Xizhai, the rough envoy here cleaned the yard very clean, and there was no trace of snow. The other girls came, and it happened that Qin Manhuai was serving the old lady with tea, and as soon as the tea cup was handed over, the two arrived.

"It's really hard for you to make such a cold day go away." The old lady said kind words.

Su Qianyao said, "The granddaughters are filial to their grandmothers, they should be." ”

Su Huiyao sneered, "The fifth sister is a concubine, and the food and clothing are beyond the reach of our concubines, and the clothes are naturally warmer than my sister. ”

Since she knew that the county lord of Shuyang was interested in Su Qianyao, Su Huiyao regarded her as a thorn in her side, and seized the opportunity to sneer a few words.

The old lady coughed lightly, and the maids came in and out, adding a cup of hot tea to each girl.

"You don't have to come out from tomorrow, come back to say hello when the day is better." The old lady said, pinching the lid of the cup and skimming the broken tea leaves on the edge of the cup, "In addition, I instructed the kitchen, the girl and a few brothers to pay special attention to their diet, don't eat raw and cold things, beware of bad stomach." ”

Qin Manhuai responded, "I have already been instructed, and the cold dishes will not be served in the past few days, and most of them will be light and hot soup." ”

"The eldest lady makes us look like sisters-in-law in the temple, so we have to live on clear soup and little water." Su Huiyao took a sip of tea as she spoke.

Su Moyao, who was on the side, heard the words of the gun and the stick, and was about to speak, but was glared back by Su Qianyao.

"If the Seventh Girl wants to eat something, the small kitchen in your yard will make it for you, but not everyone has a small kitchen in their yard." Qin Manhuai didn't look at Su Huiyao, but the more she was like this, the more angry Su Huiyao became, sneering in her heart, feeling that she looked down on herself.

"What the eldest lady said is that the father loves his daughter and the second lady, and the small kitchen is also ready before the winter, but what to do in this small kitchen has to be reported to the eldest lady after all, don't eat too much and the eldest lady will not feel comfortable at that time."

Qin Manhuai's face was calm, and there was no trace of turbulence when he heard this.

But Su Moyao really felt disgusting, "Sister Fang Cai also said that she is a concubine, and she can't eat and wear, and now she is showing off her father's favor, you are more beautiful than your concubine in the house, so why sell it miserably?" Who else do you want to upset? ”

Su Huiyao just popped out of her mouth with the word you, but Su Moyao was telling the truth, she was also pinched, so she had to sneer, "What the tenth sister said is that what the sister said is not right, but this is the case, the second lady is not in good health, and the third sister and I are not stronger than your sister, but you have to rely on the small kitchen to nourish from time to time?" Speaking of which, I really envy my sister, who is not sick easily, and has to fight with the men who are on an errand in the stable. ”

That's a bit too ugly to hear.

Su Moyao was about to speak back, but heard the old lady say, "Let you say goodbye, do you want me to be good or not good?" No anger at all! ”

The two girls got up from their chairs, one quickly and one slowly, and saluted the old lady as an apology.

"Speaking of bad health, Qian'er and Wan'er's poor health can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, don't treat them slowly."

Su Moyao looked at Su Moyao with a smile, but she was thick-skinned as if she hadn't heard. Who doesn't understand the meaning of the old lady's words? Didn't she just turn around and say that Yingxiaju's mother said that she was not in good health, it was a lie?

But Su Huiyao didn't change at all, and slowly put the tea cup on the table, her face was neither red nor white.

What a shame! Su Moyao scolded secretly in her heart.

"By the way, Yu'er, I have something to tell you today, otherwise I won't call you over." The old lady had a gentle attitude, looked at Su Yuyao and said, "Your mother always begs your father to tell you about your relatives, and you have not had an explanation for your family affairs for so long, and I, who is a grandmother, are also in a hurry, and after discussing with the eldest lady, I think there are several sons who are suitable, can you listen?" ”

Listen! Naturally, you have to listen! Su Yuyao rarely showed a flattering smile and looked at the old lady attentively.

"One is the Yao family's brother Yao Zhuo, he just won Xiucai, he came to the house for a while, you have seen it, that child is studious and serious, he is a promising one, and Duan Jufan, the son of the Duan family, I don't know much about this Duan Gongzi, but he won the lift, he is a protΓ©gΓ© of Lu Wangfu, and the future is limitless, and there is also the concubine Wei Zhun who supervises the Lord of Yu Shiwei, he is a self-motivated, he was thirteen years old and won Xiucai, and even the emperor will see it at this time, within a year or two, the official position will be higher than his father."

Hearing these candidates, Su Yuyao's face darkened, and the corners of her mouth forced a smile, but she was very stiff, she didn't speak for a while, and she couldn't hold on to her smile.

Don't talk about Xiucai and Juzi, what is the supervising imperial history? It's just an eight-rank official, not as high as his father's official position, not to mention marrying his concubine, is she really a good coaxing Su Yuyao?

Seeing that Su Yuyao was silent for a long time, Qin Manhuai gently persuaded, "Yu'er, the old lady and I are also afraid that you will marry an inappropriate past and be wronged, these sons are all good-natured, and they are all realistic and motivated, although they don't have an official and a half-job, but it's also a matter of time, although it's a low marriage, but you still have your mother's backbone as the backbone, right?" Marry one of them, and no one will dare to bully you. ”

This is also a good word, if her temperament is high and she marries, she may not be wronged, and when the time comes, her mother's family will not dare to come out, and she will only have a dead end.

Especially since she is still a concubine, who wants to bully her is not a trivial matter?

However, Su Yuyao ignored Qin Manhuai's good words, and immediately put down her face, "Mother and grandmother are really calculating, the fourth sister is so beautiful, just rob me of my marriage, and plan to stuff me into those portals like this?" ”

"How can you think that, kid?" Qin Manhuai frowned slightly, knowing that her kindness was not understood by her, and explained, "Pei'er, she is a concubine, she has a mother's family and a backer, and her maternal ancestor is the Chengenhou Mansion, who dares to treat her slowly?" But you are different, if we are really wronged, we can come out, but I am afraid that we will not be able to use our strength when the time comes! ”

Cao Qianlian is a lowly person, even if Su Yuyao is greatly wronged, what can she do? Who can read her face? Qin Manhuai couldn't break these words and crumple them and said them to Su Yuyao, just thinking that she could understand.

But Su Yuyao didn't understand, "Yes, what the eldest lady said is that the fourth sister can rob me of my good marriage if she is a concubine, and she can marry ten miles of red makeup if she is a concubine, and as a concubine, I don't need anyone to care about my life or death, and no one takes care of me if I am wronged, so I have to suffer in the poor nest for half my life, but the eldest lady, I would rather be rich and be wronged than be poor and suffer, my calculation is afraid that it will be in vain!" ”

"Shut up, how do you talk to the eldest lady?" The old lady reprimanded, "I decided this candidate for you, and you kept saying that Pei'er robbed you, but that Xiao Lingyuan was originally the one I found to marry Pei'er, when did you have a business?" If it is really the fourth aunt who likes you, I have to ask Pei'er to marry it, it is my fault, but no one has ever looked at you from the beginning, so you are bent on climbing high branches! Ascending will fall heavily, for your sake you don't know what to do! ”

Hearing this, Su Yuyao blushed slightly, she is not beautiful enough and not knowledgeable, in this famous family where there are many fish in the rivers and seas, she will naturally not be noticed by anyone.

It's just that she is pretentious and competitive, and she doesn't want to hear the slightest word about herself that she doesn't like people.

The old lady's words stabbed her self-esteem, made her stand up, and only threw down a sentence that her body was uncomfortable and left Chang Xizhai without even looking back.

Back in Qinzhuxuan, Su Yunyao kept frowning, thinking that these three sisters had never been peaceful, and she was afraid that a bloody storm was coming.

But Su Moyao didn't think so, peeled off a petal of orange and stuffed it into her mouth, "She just relies on the second lady to be so rampant, but the second lady still has to listen to her grandmother's words, who is she going to marry before her grandmother agrees?" I look at the son of the Wei family is okay, very polite to people, although the son of the Yao family is a little late, but his family is poor, and it is normal to have no money to buy books, if you really let the third sister marry one of them, I still think she is married, because she is not worthy of a butcher like that, but she is unwilling, and she is a mother who harms her in and out of her words, I don't know what to do. ”

There is a lot of irony in that.

Su Yunyao sighed, I just hope that Yingxiaju won't make any more trouble.

However, that night, I heard that Cao Qianlian had a headache attack, and the doctor went back and forth, decoction and medicine, and Su Yao took the maid to visit with hot soup in the evening.

This time, I am afraid that Cao Qianlian will cry and make trouble, and the marriage of the third sister will change in Su Yao's heart.

You don't have to think about it to know that after this night, my father will say something in front of the old lady. Su Yunyao blew out the candle at the bedside, closed her eyes and thought about it, for fear that her father would misunderstand her mother and grandmother, thinking that they deliberately did not wait to see Su Yuyao, and desperately let her marry low.
