Steward Feng replied respectfully: "I don't know what the situation is in the past few days, and I have come to the general and his wife one after another to say goodbye, all for you, the eldest lady, and the slave has made an initiative to order them to go through the back door, so as not to meet them." Madame has been bothered about this a lot these days. ”

Su Jinzhao listened quietly, and when she heard that Fu Shi was worried about this, she frowned slightly: "I'll go see my mother." When he walked to the door, he turned back to Qiao Ci and ordered, "You go back to Mu Jin Courtyard first." ”

After speaking, Su Jinzhao went to Yinghua Pavilion.

A few little girls were cleaning the yard with brooms, and when they saw Su Jinzhao coming from afar, they were surprised for a while, and they hurriedly stopped and stood aside to salute her.

Jin Zhao casually pointed to a clever little girl and asked, "Mother is here?"

The little girl hurriedly replied, "Madame is in the house, talking to Mother Tong about things."

Jin Zhao nodded, raised his hand and said, "Let's all get busy."

At this time, Ximei came back from outside, and when she saw Su Jinzhao coming to Yinghua Pavilion, a surprise flashed in her eyes, and she walked over quickly, and gave a respectful salute: "Miss, when did you come back?"

She was at the door just now, and it stands to reason that if the eldest lady came back, she should have seen it.

Just when Ximei was wondering, Su Jinzhao opened his mouth and said: "I just returned home, and I heard from the housekeeper that my mother had encountered some troubles recently, and I was not at ease, so I came to see her."

If you want to talk about the annoying thing, it is that I recently came to the house to tell the eldest lady about kissing, and I thought that if I refused, this matter would have come to an end. Who knows, every day, people come to the door one after another to propose marriage, and some families still have a good relationship with the Su family on weekdays.

Ximei hesitated and said: "The eldest lady doesn't know anything, and I don't know what's wrong recently, there are a lot of people who say goodbye, all of them are rushing to the eldest lady, Mrs. has been worried about this matter for the past few days, the slave maid just went to the house to take a look, this will come to a few families to propose marriage, and is about to return to Mrs. Yu."

When Su Jinzhao heard this, she had some doubts in her heart, she felt that this matter was not so simple, one after another people came to the house to propose marriage, and they all came for her, who is the person behind the scenes.

She was worried about her mother, so she didn't have time to think about it, so she stopped her thoughts and said to the maid Ximei: "I heard Steward Feng say this." After a pause, he said, "Don't tell your mother about this matter first, you can get busy first." ”

Ximei should go down, so she cleaned up with the maid in the yard.

Jin Zhao lowered his head and straightened his clothes, preparing to go in. When I arrived at the door, I heard Tong's mother and Fu Shi say: "In the past few days, I have rejected several people who proposed marriage, but even so, I still came to the door to say goodbye." This has never happened in the past, and I don't know where those people outside heard that our eldest lady had a good appearance, and they were determined to marry the eldest lady, although they refused, these people were unwilling to give up, and it was not a way to go on like this. ”

What Tong's mother said was exactly what Fu was worried about, she sighed and said: "Among these people who propose marriage, there are many children of the family, and the relationship with the general is not bad, the general can't refuse with a face, so I have to act as this bad guy, but I didn't expect that the people who came to the door to say goodbye continued one after another, and I couldn't offend these people."

Jin Zhao is not yet in time, and the Fu family is still thinking about keeping her by her side for two years, and it is not impossible to decide on a family in advance, but this time these people heard the rumors from somewhere, and made up their minds to marry the eldest lady of the Su family.

Jin Zhao has always been a child in the eyes of Tong's mother, and that day he heard that someone came to the door to propose marriage, and he was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. She has always treated Jin Zhao as a child who has not grown up, and has never thought about her getting married.

However, her daughter's family is going to get married after all, and Tong's mother also looks forward to Jinzhao worry-free in the second half of her life, and a man who is willing to spend time taking care of her.

So, Tong's mother suggested: "There should be many young talents among these proposers, and if you choose the more outstanding ones that are enough to match the eldest lady, it is not impossible." It's better than refusing one by one at the moment, falling into the hands of others, saying that our generals have a high threshold and can't climb high. ”

When Fu Shi heard this, his eyebrows moved, and he immediately said: "Even if my Jinzhao wants to marry, I have to marry a man who is as compatible with her, what if I come to the door to say goodbye, if I can't even pass this level, even if I break the threshold of the Su family, I won't agree."

Hearing this, Jin Zhao shook his hand, which was like a mother's temperament, and there was always a bit of stubbornness on her body.

If she made up her mind and disagreed, no one would really be able to persuade her, just like she didn't agree to her entering the palace at the beginning, until she passed away, she couldn't get her forgiveness.

Of course, she also understood that her mother said this for her own good, and she didn't want her to marry by mistake for the rest of her life.

At this time, Tong's mother spoke up: "What Mrs. said is that our eldest lady has been a beauty embryo since she was a child, and she is filial piety on weekdays, but you have to choose a good person who is entrusted for life, don't marry and be bullied."

As she spoke, Mother Tong touched the moist corners of her eyes.

Fu Shi shook his head and said to her: "I can't be reluctant to marry yet, if you really marry in the future, won't you cry and your eyes are swollen."

When Tong's mother heard this, she burst into tears and laughed: "What Madame said is very true, look at what I am doing, I fell out of shape in front of Madame."

Seeing her like this, Fu Shi then slowed down his tone and said, "Jinzhao, this child was grown up by you, and you also care about her."

What Fu said was true, after giving birth to Jin Zhao at that time, Fu Shi's body has not been very good, and he was betrayed by the most trusted person around him, and his body and mind have been seriously hit.

And Tong's mother, in addition to being loyal to Fu, also takes care of Jin Zhao as her own child, and over the years, her feelings for Jin Zhao have long exceeded the love of master and servant.

At this time, Jin Zhao outside the door was in a complicated mood. She took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Fu Shi and Tong's mother raised their eyes in unison, and when they saw that it was Jin Zhao, they were both stunned for a while, and soon came back to their senses.

Mother Tong looked busy, stepped forward and said with a smile: "The old slave heard Steward Feng say that the eldest lady came back today, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Jin Zhao looked at Tong's mother mildly, and replied, "I just came back, thinking that I haven't seen you and my mother for a few days, so I came to see you."

Mother Tong held Jin Zhao's hand, a little flattered, and said in a somewhat excited voice: "Miss Lao is still worried about me, but Mrs. is talking about you every day, by the way, Miss Lao lives in the palace these days, is it okay?"

No matter how big the palace is, it is not as comfortable as living in your own house.
