Chapter 12 Blessings and Misfortunes
When it was time for dinner, two tables were set up in the Sui'an Hall of the Shun'an Mansion, the old lady, the prince and a few girls at one table, and the young masters sat at one table in addition to the seventh young master and the eighth young master.
This kind of lively scene is rare on weekdays.
The name is to celebrate the sixth young master's victory in the exam, and the sixth young master of the United States wrote obediently even if his brother wrote five big characters in the afternoon.
When it was almost over, the old man who had a meal outside also came back early to join in the fun.
The girls who went to Prince Gong's mansion today saw that the old lady and Su Su were all thinking differently, but they were finally relieved.
Only the fifth girl glanced at Su Su with jealousy, and she hated it in her heart.
She worships the Bodhisattva every day and copies the Buddhist scriptures, thinking about herself, why is she not a concubine? Why does a grandmother treat a maid better than her? Thinking about the same Song family girl again, why can the fourth sister and a concubine born to a prostitute have such a good future?
The fifth girl is full of reluctance.
Fortunately, she is just a deep house girl, powerless, young, and now she has cut off contact with the Gao family, otherwise I really don't know what kind of storm she is going to set off!
After dinner, the old lady asked the maids to avoid going out, leaving the eldest master and the prince alone, and told the two of them about the day.
The eldest father and son both frowned, Prince Gong's reputation is really not good, if Su Su enters Prince Gong's mansion, others will not say that Prince Gong robbed the people's daughters, but only that the Song family sent the little maids in the house to be concubines in order to appease Prince Gong.
Many noblewomen have an impression of Su Su, she is a versatile and loyal servant, the Song family already has a reputation as nouveau riche, selling servants at the stall for glory, and it is really impossible to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
Moreover, the Song family has secretly taken refuge in King Ke's family, and the superiors like to be suspicious and not to mention, just for Prince Gong, a prince who has no real power, to put his own well-bred girl into it, which is a little too unworthy!
The eldest man shook his head decisively, seeing his own mother's face smiling, his heart was a little sour, and it was better to treat Susu's little girl than his own son.
And the prince also had a lot of thoughts, and said on his face: "Su Su entered Prince Gong's mansion, which is not beneficial to our family or Su Su. Presumably, Prince Gong will not ask his grandmother for the maid next to him without rules. And now that Su Su is a good citizen, don't let Su Su out of the house during this time. ”
Shizi thought about it, and still added, "Grandmother, let's hurry up and tell Su Su a good family!" ”
With Su Su's appearance, Prince Gong will not be the only one, and Prince Gong's Mansion will be treated with the power of the Song family, and the next time the Song family can't afford to offend!
The old lady looked at her son and grandson who shook their heads in refusal, and was very relieved that as the future leaders of the Song family, they were not blinded by power.
The old lady took out a letter that she had prepared a long time ago and handed it to the eldest master, "Look at this." ”
The eldest man took a look, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This matter is all up to the mother, if it really happens, it will be regarded as a good fate, and it will become a good story."
Then he handed the letter to his curious son, "That Hong Sheng was put into King Ke's door earlier than our family, and let King Ke arrange for him to go to the northwest to upgrade his qualifications, it seems that it is to be reused!" If Su Su can really marry him, he will also climb high. ”
Persimmon also read the letter, it was the letter from Hong Sheng that the old lady received in September.
"Although it is not in accordance with the rules, in the end, it is sincere, but I still go to a letter to explain the matter, if the Hong brothers are still willing, they will first change the Geng sticker and the marriage book for the two, and wait for Su Su and Lu to discuss the marriage. But what does Su Su know about this? ”
The old lady was stunned for a rare moment, a little embarrassed, "I was in a hurry, but I didn't tell her." "The old lady is concerned about the chaos.
No matter how well they discussed here, if Su Su disagreed, it would be in vain.
The eldest lord didn't care, "That girl listens to her mother's words the most, just say it, besides, Hong Sheng is also a first-class character, and the third brother also said that if it weren't for the nieces and nephews who were still young, he would have wanted Hong Sheng to be his aunt." ”
After hearing this, the old lady was a little dissatisfied with her son's clear view of Su Su.
"In addition to Su Su's lower status, her knowledge and appearance are also first-class, if it weren't for this incident, I would be reluctant to tell her to Hong Sheng! Although Brother Sheng'er's character is good, it is too far away to the northwest. ”
If it weren't for Su Su's low background, where would Hong Sheng be in his turn? Only the old lady pressed these words in her heart, and it was difficult to calm down in the end.
"Su Su is also the daughter of a good family, and my father is still a talent, I thought, if this family business is really done, I will add more dowry to her from the private room."
The eldest lord and the prince really don't pay much attention to money.
Hearing this, the eldest man hurriedly said: "Su Su is trained by his mother, if this family business is really done, it will also add help to our family!" Su Su's dowry doesn't have to worry about her mother, but she can't compare it with the serious girl in the family, and her son will make up for it in private, so no one will look down on Su Su. Not to mention anything else, Su Su was also named in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and the mother entered the palace to discuss with her sister. ”
When Shun Anbo's father and son came out of Sui'an Hall, the old lady called Su Su in and gave the letter to Su Su.
"I wanted to keep you for a few more years, and then talk about it when you are older, who came up with this matter? You see, if you want, I'll ask someone to send a letter to Hong Sheng tomorrow, if you don't want to, then that's it! ”
Su Su was a little inexplicable, he hadn't heard the name "Hong Sheng" for a long time. However, after listening to the old lady's words, I was somewhat mentally prepared.
Su Su looked at the letter and realized that there was such a thing, no wonder the old lady looked at her very strangely!
Now the Song family can still protect themselves, but they can't directly slap Prince Gong in the face, so they have to find a reason to refuse. Either he was disfigured overnight, or he had a marriage contract.
Disfigurement is impossible, you can only choose to marry early, Hong Sheng had intentions before, and now it is the best choice in a hurry!
As for whether he is willing or not, after coming to this time and space for so many years, Su Su has long recognized the meaning of "the life of his parents and the words of the matchmaker", and he does not ask for any "one life and one couple".
From Su Su's ability to accept Prince Gong's mansion as a concubine, it can actually be seen that she is a very realistic person. Now that there are better options, why not?
And Hong Sheng is in the northwest, in Hami, which is where Su Su dreamed of going.
When it comes to family affairs, Yang Liu and Ning Cui are all happy, uneasy, and expectant, and their faces are blushing, but Su Su has no such feeling at all.
Hong Sheng has seen and has a certain understanding, plus the love when she was a child, she is also a good candidate.
Su Su calmly analyzed, and finally nodded, "If Brother Hong knows what is going on, and is still willing to marry a slave, then the slave and maid are not willing." It's just that I can't bear the old lady, I could have stayed by your side for a few more years. ”
Thinking of leaving the old lady, Su Su's eyes were red, which made the old lady also sad.
"Silly boy, where am I willing to marry you so far? But your eldest man said, Brother Sheng is a capable person, where can he stay in the northwest all his life, maybe when he will go to Beijing to be an official, and he is afraid that he will not get along? ”
Others don't know about these things at all, and the three girls and the two cousins were given a gag order by the old lady again, and they followed the hall as usual.
Only Ning Cui hugged Su Su and cried in private, Su Su wanted to tell her about Hong Sheng, but she couldn't do it for sure.
And the old lady, just in case, also secretly instructed Ning Cui's mother to take the opportunity to give Ning Cui a look at others, and pick a few more good ones, at least not worse than Yang Liuding's Huang family, Ning Cui only relieved when she knew this!
