Chapter 196: Forced to Marriage
It was dark outside, but the Su family was bright everywhere.
Not only did Su Mingzhe nervously step forward and stare at the room, but even Su Zhengping and Su Wanniang came over.
"Mother......
As soon as Su Wanniang wanted to say something, she heard Kong Miaoyu in the house say outside: "Don't worry, the fragrance is good, and the child is fine!" The tone of his speech was relaxed, and it was clear that the situation was good.
Hearing this, the three people in the courtyard were relieved.
That Wen Po has been doing work for decades, and while cleaning up the blood-stained cloth, she rubbed Tao Xiangru's lower abdomen. It was skillful and extraordinarily careful.
Kong Miaoyu wiped the child's body and put on her clothes, looking at the child who was crying with her eyes closed, and she didn't realize that her eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
"This lady, everything here is done!"
Wen Po rolled the dirty cloth into a ball, prepared to take it out, and handed the contents of the cloth bag to Kong Miaoyu.
Kong Miaoyu knew what it was, and hurriedly took it: "I'm tired of the old sister running, these old sisters are invited to drink tea!" As he spoke, he handed over a silver horn in his hand.
It is not that Wen Po has not met generous, but she is also very upright and happy.
It's also good to be able to receive silver twice, not to mention, this is indeed a happy event.
"Where is it, it is the lady and the young lady who are blessed and long, and the little boy is the dragon and phoenix among the people at a glance, and he will become a great weapon in the future! You're just waiting to be blessed! Wen Po said with a smile, and was led out of the room by Kong Miaoyu.
Su Mingzhe politely sent people out, but he didn't have time to see the child.
Kong Miaoyu handed the child to Su Zhengping, then brought another basin of water into it, and wiped her daughter-in-law and changed her clothes.
Su Wanniang leaned over and looked curiously. Even if the oil lamp is dim, you can still see the child's appearance through the light at night.
Su Wanniang's first impression was that she was so small.
However, she was originally a doctor, so she naturally knew that this child was not small, and she had seen a baby weighing less than a month or two or three pounds in her previous life. This nephew of his own, it is not easy to look at.
"This kid is well-behaved!"
Su Zhengping said with a smile, and did not look at whether the child was male or female. In their eyes, sons and daughters are the same, and sometimes they even love girls.
Su Wanniang nodded, the child has cried since birth, and now she has been obedient.
Unconsciously raised her hand and stroked her lower abdomen, Su Wanniang was a little expectant.
After Su Mingzhe came back, he planned to go to the house, but was stopped by Kong Miaoyu: "The cold air on your body, don't rush over to pass the cold to your daughter-in-law, hurry up and go to the stove room to roast and then go back." ”
As he spoke, he thought that his son didn't know what his daughter-in-law had given birth to, so he pulled him and said, "You haven't seen the child yet, have you?" Your daughter-in-law has added another boy to you. ”
As she spoke, Kong Miaoyu smiled happily.
It's not that she is patriarchal, but she is happy to have more people in the family.
Su Mingzhe's eyes lit up, and then he rubbed his hands and walked to the kitchen.
Seeing that her family was beaming, Su Wanniang knew that there was nothing to do, so she beckoned her to go back to the room without eating.
Kong Miaoyu made a bowl of sugar water eggs for Su Mingzhe, and the two old men also ate two each.
Even if it is a cold winter, everyone feels very happy and does not feel cold.
After sleeping for more than two hours, it was dawn, and Su Wanniang got up.
saw that Xu Junhao was no longer in bed, obviously he had already run out to play.
Su Wanniang was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly thought that her sister-in-law was born, so she immediately got up.
There is one more child in the family, so it is naturally much more lively.
Because of the extra little brother, Xu Junhao and Su Yingjie didn't run out, and the two of them circled around the little brother all day long, which was so rare.
But it didn't take long for them to go to Xishan Academy.
Prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for the children, and prepared gifts for their husbands, and the Su family sent the children to the academy.
The weather has not warmed up yet, Su Wanniang went to the field to see it, and the growth is good.
Just as he was thinking about processing and pulling away those vegetables and flowers, Shang Zisu came to the door.
"Wan Niang ......"
Standing at the door was Shang Zisu, but Su Wanniang was taken aback. The woman in front of her, where is the woman who happily discussed business with herself years ago.
She's afraid something has happened.
Su Wanniang looked haggard and thin, and now found Shang Zisu, who was still red-eyed, and welcomed him in.
"Go to my house!"
At the first glance of Shang Zisu, Su Wanniang felt that she was afraid that something important had happened.
Otherwise, how could such an innocent little girl be made like this.
Although Shang Zisu was young, he also knew the number of etiquette, and after meeting Kong Miaoyu and a few people, he sent a congratulatory gift. It is a silver lock for the baby, although it is only silver, but the weight is not light, and the workmanship is also a delicate goods that even Jiangling County cannot have.
It can be seen that this gift is not perfunctory to the Su family.
When the door closed, Shang Zisu's tears overflowed again, and she murmured, "Wanniang, you say, why does a woman have to marry?" Why can't you decide for yourself? ”
As he spoke, he began to cry, his voice was very muffled, and he was a little hoarse, obviously he had cried a few times.
Hearing this, Su Wanniang knew that it seemed that this girl was afraid that someone had said something, or that the family wanted her to marry earlier.
After thinking about it, he said, "Are you sixteen now?" ”
Shang Zisu raised his head with a pair of wet eyes, and some crystal tears on his eyelashes, nodded and said, "I am seventeen years old, and my birthday is approaching." ”
Hearing this, Su Wanniang said: "I was also married at the age of fifteen, but I am still earlier than you. Why are you like this all of a sudden? Could it be that someone is forcing you to get married? Or, is it someone you don't like? ”
In the end, it is not the person here, Su Wanniang didn't talk too much, and went straight.
Shang Zisu's face turned red when he heard this, and then he didn't care about anything, and confided in Su Wanniang: "I know that I should have married at the age of seventeen, but my father didn't say anything, but I hate those people who still want to meddle in my family affairs......"
As soon as she heard those people, Su Wanniang knew that she was afraid that it was some of the businessman's own affairs.
She can't control that.
"But Master Shang doesn't seem to have that kind of plan, right?" It can be seen that Master Shang is particularly concerned about Shang Zisu and Shang Lu, and it is estimated that he will not let his daughter get married so soon, and he will stay for an extra year if he can.
The heart is full of reluctance, how can it be so easy to let go.
"Naturally, my father disagreed, but those people forced my father to accept it, saying that it had already been decided to discuss it soon. I ......," he said, his eyes red again.
Su Wanniang has long known that the women in the inner courtyard, especially those from large families, estimate that marriage is not free, but she didn't expect that she would see it with her own eyes for a while.
"If you don't go, will they tie you up? And with your father in the way, no one must be able to step over your father to make decisions for your family, right? ”
In the end, Su Wanniang underestimated the cheekiness of those people, and also underestimated the different rules of the times.
Shang Zisu shook his head sullenly, and said with a straight face: "My father is above, and my grandfather and grandmother are still there, if they make a decision, they can replace their father, and even their father can't stop it." If it is blocked, it is unfilial! ”
