Chapter Ninety-Three: A Lively New Year
The Faithful Marquis didn't want to mention this topic originally, but after thinking about it, this matter always exists after all, can't everyone forget about it if they don't mention it? It is better to sincerely apologize to Su Mingxi through the mouth of his wife, and from then on expose this matter. (Every day Chinese.) Because of this thought, there is no opening to stop it.
Who knew that the more Mrs. Tong looked at Su Mingxi, the more she loved it, and she thought to herself what it means to be a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon? This is really the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, hum! That girl is a lonely star, and the little grandfather who has a good child does not marry, and runs away elsewhere, and now she probably dies somewhere, and she deserves it. It's just that this little grandfather is now gone, and I don't know if my fifth girl can have this blessing and be his continuation.
Because of this, she began to inquire slowly, and when she heard Su Mingxi say that she had no intention of continuing the strings, she couldn't help but be in a hurry for the Ninety-Third Chapter: The Lively New Year, and hurriedly smiled: "That's not what I said, the little grandfather is young, how can he have such an idea?" How can a family like the Guogong Mansion do without a hostess? The five girls in our family, it's not that I boast, it's ...... compared to her sister" As soon as he said this, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud shout from the faithful marquis, and he said angrily: "You go down to see how the banquet in the kitchen is prepared, what kind of tongue are you chewing in front of the little grandfather?" ”
Mrs. Tong was yelled at by her own master, even if she was full of resentment, she couldn't talk back to her husband in front of Su Mingxi, so she had to go. Here Su Mingxi hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and the loyal marquis repeatedly failed to keep it, so he wanted to send it in person, but he was also resigned, so he had to let his son send it out on his behalf.
Walking through the long courtyard, Ruan Siqi smiled bitterly: "The little grandfather is not strange, the wife is just anxious because she values the talent of the little grandfather." even ignored this big family's style, which made Brother Su laugh. ”
Su Mingxi hurriedly smiled: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, they are all planning for their children, and it is also a matter of course. I won't think about it too much, Brother Ruan can rest assured. After speaking, he heard Ruan Siqi sigh and said, "It's been almost six years? I don't know where my sister is now. Is it dead or alive? Alas! It is also her destiny Chapter 93: There is no such blessing as a lively New Year, otherwise, I am now your eldest brother, but ......"
Su Mingxi said lightly: "The matter of marriage can't be forced, I think that between me and Miss Ruan, it's just that there is no fate." After so many years, Miss Ruan really hasn't had any news back? ”
Ruan Siqi shook his head. Said bitterly: "For so many years, my father and I are full of anger whenever we think of her, hate her for not being angry, and hate her for disgrace the Hou Mansion." But now it's been six years. She still has no news, thinking that she is a weak woman, even if the world is big, where can she hide? 'M afraid...... It's long gone, so I don't dare to talk to my father about it now, otherwise I would ...... It's really hateful and painful. ”
Even if Su Mingxi had already determined that Ruan Yunsi would not be Ruan Mingxiang, when he heard Ruan Siqi's words at this time, he couldn't help but feel related, so he couldn't help but say, "Miss Ruan doesn't have any other nicknames?" I had a coincidence. I met a girl named Yunsi, who happened to be surnamed Ruan, and she was really a weaver girl in the sky, and the cloth she dyed was praised even by my sister. ”
Ruan Siqi shook his head and said, "That must not be my sister, she is quiet in the house." Women also like to fiddle with red weaving and dyeing, but where is there any good craftsmanship? It's just the curiosity and internal affairs of the daughter's family, I heard that the little grandfather went to Jiangnan this time and bought a few looms from Jiangning Weaving, could it be that he bought it for this girl? ”
Su Mingxi nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't want to buy so much when I was entrusted with loyalty, but I didn't know that there were still a lot of good things in Jiangning's weaving warehouse. ”
Ruan Siqiqi said: "It seems that the little grandfather is very attentive to that Ruan girl, I don't know ......."
When he said this, he hesitated and didn't say any more, but Su Mingxi didn't understand what he meant, and said at the moment: "That Ruan girl was abandoned and served her husband's family for three years, but she had to take a leave of absence. However, her ambition is as noble as fire, and she is very admirable, and she does not hide it from Brother Ruan, as the saying goes, my fair lady and gentleman are good, and I did have a trace of admiration for that Ruan girl at first, but she has no personal affection for me. Naturally, I will not be strong, and until now, I can only regard her as a confidante, I hope that God will have mercy and let me be her backing and friend in this life, and the rest of my wish is enough. ”
Ruan Siqi was stunned by these words, and it took a long time before he muttered, "This ...... What kind of woman is exactly? Can you back down to ...... To the point of retreating? I'm curious, no, see which day is convenient, little grandfather, you have to take me to see, I want to see if she has three heads and six arms, you are so attentive to her, she can still be as stable as a rock, this ...... This sounds really incredible, a few days ago, a few of us sat together, talking about you, little grandfather, and several noble children said that their parents intended to marry their sister to you, but there was no information in the house. Now she can...... Anecdote, it's really anecdote, it's incredible. ”
Su Mingxi smiled bitterly: "You just want to see my jokes?" Actually, what's so strange about that? No matter how good you are, no matter how many people like you in this world, you can't arrogantly think that you can be liked by everyone? I admire Miss Ruan very much, not for anything else, just look at how many people are now tending to be inflammatory, you say that the daughters of the noble family, why don't they take a fancy to my family background? She is the only one who knows my identity, but she can still be unmoved, and she is really unmoved, not trying to get away with it, how can she not be admired. ”
Ruan Siqi laughed and said: "Speaking of her, you even have your eyebrows flying, it can be seen that you love this woman to the bone......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Mingxi glaring at him and said nervously: "Don't talk nonsense, it's like this...... How can such shameful words be said to your face? ”
Ruan Siqi had a hearty personality, and waved his hand and said, "In front of whom?" It's nothing more than our brothers. Besides, you and I are both people with children, so what's wrong with saying this. Hmm, speaking of which, it seems that it is also because of this girl that your little grandfather Su has eliminated his hatred for our family? In that case, I should thank her very much, no, you will definitely take me there. ”
Su Mingxi smiled: "Unprovoked, what reason are you looking for?" And she is very clean and self-loving, although cheerful, but very chaste, if I take you rashly, I am afraid to make her unhappy, this matter ......"
Ruan Siqi pouted and said, "Let's talk about it, I'm afraid I don't know how long it will be delayed." ”
Because he said this, he walked to the door, and Su Mingxi took his hand and left to beat his horse. Here Ruan Siqi returned to the room, and saw that his wife Gu was taking a closer look at the Jiangnan splendors sent by Su Mingxi, he was in a good mood, and walked forward and said with a smile: "God is pitiful, this grievance with the Guogong Mansion has finally been completely revealed." Speaking of which, I have to thank the woman named Ruan Yunsi. ”
Gu Shi hurriedly asked what was going on, and after listening to Ruan Siqi's words, he sighed and said, "Alas! That woman is a blessed person, how blessed is the little sister......" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ruan Siqi impatiently: "Little sister Fubo, she asked for it, let such a good man not marry, and she escaped from marriage, who will complain?" She only cared about herself and flew away, but did she ever think about what happened to the Hou Mansion because of her? What else is she doing now? ”
Gu Shi smiled softly: "Every time the concubine mentions her sister, the master says so." In fact, why not worry in my heart? In several dreams, the concubine heard you shouting your sister's name in horror, thinking that she had dreamed of something terrible, why hide it from me? I know that even my father, although he hates his sister in his heart, has not heard from him for six years, and he is actually worried. ”
Ruan Siqi sat down on the chair and muttered softly: "Yes, Daddy has hatred in his mouth and pain in his heart. Now that the grievances with the Guogong Mansion have been resolved, if Ming Xiang is alive, it is time to come back and take a look? She...... Why is he so ruthless, and he doesn't worry about me and my father at all? ”
Ruan Yunsi was not worried, but because she always had a channel to know about the situation in the Hou Mansion. At the beginning, after she ran away from marriage, when things were at their worst, the title of the Hou Mansion was still not taken off. Now that the wind and waves are calm, and I can occasionally hear news from Su Mingxi's mouth, my worries are naturally much lighter. Although she also has feelings for her nominal father and brother, but everything is a fish and a bear's paw, since she has chosen to be free, she has to abandon those family feelings that are too shackled to her, and she doesn't even dare to hand over a letter, lest she be found clues, and her life's career will be exhausted. She bravely escaped marriage and changed her name, not for the sake of being arrested and punished in the end.
After a few days of preparation, Chinese New Year's Eve finally arrived, the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family from the morning, busy with the noon reunion dinner, this year is different from last year, last year Ruan Yunsi was lonely, only two dogs to accompany her barbecue to eat. This year, several people celebrated the New Year together, and it took a lot of thought to think about the menu for the reunion dinner.
"Fried squid rings, stir-fried pork belly with sauerkraut, stewed chicken with dried mushrooms, cabbage pork ribs and tofu soaked and stewed, oysters and sauerkraut meat slices boiled together to make three fresh soups, sweet and sour carp, conch meat, cold salad three silk ......"
It's all some farmhouse cooking, and the two cauldrons are busy together, which is also a hot scene. And the dishes in that pot are all served in small pots.
Zhong Nan and Zhong Xiu didn't go to the stove, but they were still busy. There are a few poor families in the village, Ruan Yunsi used to only take care of herself, but now that she is richer, she naturally has to take care of one or two, a few days ago, each family sent rice, noodles, meat and eggs, and when she was cooking today, she ordered the two brothers and sisters to send some door to door.
If Ruan Yunsi was alone last year, and there were some feelings that she couldn't get along with the people in the village, then today, the people in the village completely treat her as a family. For a while, the yard came and went, so it was not lively. (To be continued) RQ!!!
