When I went to say goodbye to the old lady this day, Jin Nian found that the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, and the Liu family and the Cui family were sitting dry and no one spoke.

Especially Liu, whose eyes were red, had obviously cried.

Jin Nian took a look at the opportunity and quietly asked Su Jinxiu: "But what happened, why didn't everyone speak?" Even the old lady sitting at the top had a serious face.

Su Jinxiu looked around the room, lowered her voice and said, "Big brother is off the list!" ”

It turned out that the news of Su Ziang's fall from the list came back! Although he knew the result earlier, he still had some expectations before, but now that the expectations have been shattered, Jin Nian's heart can't help but sink.

"Why is the fourth aunt crying?" The eldest brother's failure seems to have little to do with the fourth room!

Su Jinxiu replied a little angrily: "You ask me, I ask who to go!" ”

This breath, how can it be like eating gunpowder, Jin Nian had to shut up obediently, gave Yingge a look, and motioned her to inquire about the news.

After returning to Jinghua Xiaozhu, Yingge came in and replied: "The fourth master brought a thin horse back, and the fourth lady made a lot of trouble, but I'm afraid that the current Yusheng Residence has not yet settled down!" ”

Su Jinnian was stunned, it was for this, if I remember correctly, the fourth uncle in his previous life didn't seem to have any concubines who were born in thin horses.

Yusheng Curie.

With a "bang", the white porcelain plum bottle shattered on the ground, and scattered small fragments were scattered under the Duobao Pavilion shelf.

The fourth lady Cui Shi put on a crying face and asked the fourth master: "Su Youbai, what do you mean, do you think that if I can't give birth to a daughter, I will take a thin horse to answer me?" ”

People will only dislike those who give birth to daughters, how can they dislike those who give birth to sons?!

Su Youbai was very helpless about Cui's nonsense: "It's not what I want, it was given to Gu Jiashilang by Lord Yang, people don't want it, but Governor Yang gave it to me again, that's my boss, how can I go back?" ”

Gu Shilang has the confidence to refuse, who called someone to have a grandfather who became a university scholar and entered the cabinet?!

But he Su Youbai, although he is a son of the Su family in Yangzhou, who told him to make a living under the Yang Governor's Mansion? If you refuse the kindness of others, you may be given small shoes to wear one day.

Seeing her husband picking a son, Cui's became even more angry: "Okay, why did Governor Yang send the thin horse to Gu Shilang, and how did it end up in your hands, if you don't make it clear, I'm not done with you." ”

As soon as he mentioned this, the fourth master became angry: "It's not for the sake of Yangzhou salt tax, the woman is a family, you don't understand if you talk too much." "Governor Yang wanted to let the above accommodate and extend the payment period of the salt tax, and asked him to take the path of the eldest brother, but the eldest brother did not respond, he knew that the term of office of the eldest brother's political envoy was about to expire, and he was bent on seeking the shortage of the capital, and now he didn't want to get involved in any trouble, so he had to beg Gu Shilang to go to the path of Gu University.

Cui Shi saw that the fourth master was blocking her with words, so he had to continue to sprinkle: "In short, this thin horse can't enter the fourth room." "She, a young lady from a famous family, wants to serve a husband with a thin horse, which makes people burp and panic when they think about it.

Those skinny horses, which waiter's kung fu is not amazing! When that time comes, where is the love of the husband and what will happen to her!

Su Youbai spread his hands, "Then what do you say!" ”

Cui Shi pondered with a deep face, and really made her think of a way!

As soon as he changed his suitability, Cui Shi said to Su Youbai with a smile: "Then transfer it to the second brother." "Anyway, the second brother is the second master of Su Mansion, and Governor Yang is mainly to get in touch with Su Mansion, what else can he say?

Su Youbai was slightly stunned: "Don't do to others what you don't want." He was deeply touched by his wife's domineering behavior.

Cui Shi sneered: "You still said that it wasn't what you wanted, look at what kind of attitude you have now?" Okay, if you want to keep it, maybe there will be a bigger relationship behind the skinny horse, and when you make a mistake, I will stab you in the back, and then don't involve our mother and son! ”

Cui Shi didn't know that his ventilating words were exactly what Su Youbai was most worried about.

Skinny horses were bought by the powerful and rich since they were young and taught the six arts, so that they could be given away for profit when they grew up.

Who knows what the background of this thin horse sent by Governor Yang is, if he has any inappropriate language and is caught, he is not alone, but also the career of the eldest brother and the third brother.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a good choice to give it to the second brother, anyway, the second brother takes care of the affairs and does not involve officialdom. In this way, the thin horse still stayed in the Su Mansion, didn't Governor Yang want to climb to the eldest brother through the thin horse, which room to stay in? !

Su Youbai instantly felt that he had a good idea, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Then it's up to you to send the thin horse to the second brother?" ”

This joy came so quickly that Cui Shi still couldn't believe what she heard, and she asked with wide eyes, "What did you say?" ”

"I said, just follow you, give it to the second brother, you go and talk to the second sister-in-law!" Su Youbai repeated it again.

Cui Shi believed that what she heard was the truth, she put away her tears, and said angrily: "If I go, I will go." "In short, Xu's is a soft one, saying that it was sent by Governor Yang, can she still refuse?

Soon, Cui's cleaned up his makeup and went to the second room of the Wuyuan with a smile.

The next day, when Jin Nian saw Cui's in Ronghua Hall, she saw that she had lost the decadence of yesterday, and when she saw Jin Nian, she even joked with a smile: "When will Sister Nian make incense again, you can give it to the fourth aunt." ”

Jin Nian was a little surprised, she and Xiang actually fell into Cui's eyes! You must know that Cui's self-holding comes from the capital, and the things he uses are extremely particular, and even the head oil is designated to drag people from the capital.

But there was another person who surprised Jinnian, Su Jinxiu.

She kept her face silent, her face didn't look good, and there was a faint layer of dark blue under her eyes, which was not suppressed even after applying powder.

When Wan'an came out, Jin Nian asked with concern: "Third sister, are you okay, your face doesn't look good!" ”

Su Jinxiu laughed at herself, and there was a little more bitterness in her smile: "You say, how good it would be if I were a boy." "If she is a boy, her mother will not be inferior, she is cautious everywhere, and she does not dare to complain.

How could she sigh like this, Jin Nian was a little puzzled, this is not like Su Jinxiu's open-minded temperament on weekdays, but what happened she didn't know? She was a little relieved, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Su Jinxiu sighed: "Someone forced my father to stuff a thin horse, but my mother didn't want to ...... Forget it, I'll tell you what to do, you're still young, you don't have to know these pickled things. ”

The woman in the boudoir opened her mouth and closed her mouth to talk about the thin horse and the concubine of her father's generation, it was not the woman of the family who did it, Su Jinxiu didn't elaborate, and Jinnian didn't want to ask again, it was a matter of the second room, not something she should worry about.

If she knew that the next thing would have developed completely beyond her expectations, Jin Nian would definitely regret not asking more questions today!

In the previous life, her parents were also born because of the concubine Aunt Zhen, and her mother was depressed for a long time, until her father had an accident in the officialdom, and her mother was no longer entangled in the affairs of these concubines, but turned to her father to worry and fear.

The two of them didn't speak again, and walked towards Xin Xintang in silence side by side.

When she returned to Jinghua Xiaozhu after school in the evening, Jinnian's mood after a day of depression finally improved, and Du Juan brought her great news, her mother and younger brother finally returned from Huai'an three days ago.
