Chapter Seventy-Seven: Returning to the Door and Confessing Relatives
"Where do the three girls want to go?" A familiar voice came from behind him.
Su Zhenyi turned around abruptly. I saw Bai standing at the corner of the corridor, looking at himself with three points of smile and seven points of coldness.
Obviously, it was already summer on the tenth day of the first day of yesterday, but Su Zhenyi was still standing outside the door now, and she still felt a deep coolness.
Reluctant in her heart, she still said it beautifully, Su Zhenyi saluted to the Bai family and said, "My daughter-in-law wants to go to pay homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." β
The Bai family led the maid behind him to Su Zhenyi. In front of these subordinates, Bai said mercilessly: "Ruoqian didn't enter your room yesterday, I can't afford this mother-in-law." β
Su Zhenyi suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. called Bai's mother-in-law, admitting Zhou Ruoqian's husband, what a grievance she was. But if you bow your head like this, the other party still doesn't accept this feeling.
There are so many people who have seen it......
Su Zhenyi didn't dare to look up at the eyes of the people behind the Bai clan at all. She bit her lower lip and saluted the Bai family again: "Since Zhenyi married into the Bai Mansion, she was born as a member of the Bai family, and died as a ghost of the Bai family. β
The Bai clan was more direct than Su Zhenyi expected, and when she heard this, she immediately burst out laughing.
"In your house, one is really more talkative than the other." Bai's words mean something.
Su Zhenyi's ears couldn't help but echo the words of the Bai family mocking Su Roujia in public in the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion that day.
"Miss Su, you're really shameless."
Therefore, what the Bai family said just now, it is changed - Miss Susan, you are quite shameless.
Su Zhenyi vomited so much that she vomited a mouthful of blood.
But under the eaves, she had to bow her head.
Pinching her nails deep into her palms, Su Zhenyi's face stiffened with a smile. She bowed her head to the Bai family for the third time and said, "Mother-in-law is too famous. β
This time, Bai didn't laugh out loud again.
In the Chang'an Hou Mansion, she can mock Su Zhenyi unscrupulously, because the people are laughing at the Chang'an Hou Mansion.
But now, although the Bai family doesn't want to admit it, Su Zhenyi is actually a member of the Zhou family.
His eyes turned in a circle, Bai Shi looked at Su Zhenyi with a smile and asked, "You are so smart, you should be very sympathetic to others." You should know what to say when you return to the door after three days, right? β
Su Zhenyi looked up at Bai's expression, and cautiously speculated: "My husband is unwell, and I am really helpless to return to the door alone, not because my mother-in-law doesn't feel sorry for me." β
The corners of Bai's mouth raised, and he continued to ask: "Since your husband is unwell, you are *, don't you need to serve the sick?" β
When the Marquis of Chang'an proposed marriage, the Bai family had already seen it very clearly. Except for the old lady of Chang'an Hou who was about to die, no one in Chang'an's Hou Mansion really remembered this Su San girl.
Su Zhenyi understood Bai's hint, she forced herself to squeeze out a smile, and said to Bai: "Yes, what my mother-in-law said is true." I wrote a letter to my grandmother, father, and mother. β
Bai Shi was satisfied this time.
On the day of the return of the three dynasties, the Zhou family's gifts were very rich, but the two most important people were all absent.
Old Madam Hou took Su Zhenyi's letter, and her face turned white with anger.
The face of the big rhubarb sitting in the seat below was quite good.
Su Zhenyi: This is obviously suffering from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites. Where can this not make her refreshed.
This time she returned to the door, and she was the first girl of the same generation in the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an to get married. The Marquis Mansion of Chang'an was originally waiting for the battle, and the young masters and girls in the family were all confined at home and waiting.
Now that this letter was delivered, Mrs. Hou immediately waved her hand and asked her grandchildren to retreat.
Of course, after that, she called the seventh girl, Su Yingying, to come over and read to herself, which is a later story.
To be able to regain emptiness today, Su Zhaoning is the happiest one.
She inquired for a long time, and today Lord Xu, the deputy lieutenant of the infantry army, will take his family to Qingquan Temple to visit the Buddha.
It was her best chance to meet her uncle.
Let the coachman at home drive to Qingquan Temple, Su Zhaoning pressed the excitement in his heart and walked to the Buddhist hall step by step.
In the Buddha hall, a woman could be seen kneeling on a futon from a distance. Next to the woman, two girls followed, one on the left and one on the right.
The one on the left seems to be slightly older. Look at the back, it is about the same height as yourself.
The one on the right, I can't tell the age, I can only guess that it hasn't reached the end of the year.
Su Zhaoning struggled to recall the vague memory. She could vaguely remember that her grandfather's family had several cousins of her own age.
It's just that after her mother passed away, her grandfather's side became weaker and weaker.
This must be the father's reason.
Su Zhaoning remembered that less than a year after her mother's death, the second lady and Aunt Huang were corrected.
My grandfather and uncles must have complained about the Su family in their hearts.
At that time, I was only eleven years old. Can they understand their own powerlessness?
Su Zhaoning stood at the door of the Buddhist hall, and his excitement turned into worry.
The woman had already stood up, and the two little girls had shown their true faces.
The older one, Su Zhaoning can't see any traces of the past. After all, with her cousins, she didn't get along very much when she was a child.
The younger one, turning around, Su Zhaoning could see that the other party seemed to be younger than her sister Su Yingying.
If this little girl was really her cousin, she must have been born after her mother died.
This is even more inferential.
Su Zhaoning quietly looked at the woman from the side. The woman combed her hair in a constant bun and her face, and there were vague familiar marks between her eyebrows and eyes.
She wasn't sure.
The woman led the two girls out of the door of the Buddha hall, only to see her smiling on her face, and softly called forward: "Zhiyuan, I finished the incense." β
Su Zhaoning's heart suddenly chuckled.
She felt her chest pounding. She knew that the woman had walked under the osmanthus tree in the outer courtyard of Qingquan Temple, and she also caught a glimpse of a man standing under the tree.
But Su Zhaoning just didn't dare to look at it.
Zhiyuan.
Xu Zhiyuan.
She remembered that her grandmother had talked about her uncle like that.
"Just ask Zhiyuan to bring an osmanthus duck to Ruixin when he comes back."
"Let Zhiyuan send you two."
"Zhiyuan, have you seen your brother-in-law?"
The family under the osmanthus tree had already left the place.
Su Zhaoning didn't dare to hesitate any longer, took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly walked over there.
She saw the other party walking towards a carriage, worried that the other party was about to leave, and couldn't help but lift her skirt and trot two steps.
Her heart was on Xu Zhiyuan's family in front of her, so much so that someone next to her called her name, but she didn't hear it.
Nan Wanwan took her brother's hand, pointed at Su Zhaoning and said curiously: "Sister Su, why are you so anxious today, brother, did you just see the others in the Chang'an Hou Mansion?" β
Nan Huaixin didn't answer right away. He looked silently in the direction that Su Zhaoning ran over.
Over there is Xu Zhiyuan, the new lieutenant of the infantry army who has entered Beijing.
Xu Zhiyuan has a son under his knees, who is serving as a lieutenant under Chen Tianyang.
Age, age seems to be about the same as yourself? Is there a wife room in the house?
Nan Huaixin thought that he still had to ask Chen Tianyang about this. He remembered that a few days ago, the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion had a happy event.
Could it be ......
Nan Wanwan's voice sounded in her ears again.
"Ah, Sister Su bumped into someone."
Nan Huaixin raised his head and looked over there, and the person Su Zhaoning bumped into was none other than Xu Zhiyuan, the lieutenant of the infantry army that he had noticed earlier.
Could it be that the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion likes Xu Zhiyuan?
Nan Huaixin's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Nan Wanwan didn't know why, and a person was talking to herself: "Hey, this person is pretty good-looking." Could it be that the two next to him are his daughters, I really can't tell the age. β
"Just like you are cautious." Nan Huaixin frowned and stopped his sister from continuing, he added, "You are a girl, why do you talk about a man's appearance like this." β
Nan Wanwan immediately cut off, and replied to her brother's mouth without care: "You are the old gentleman of the Chang'an Hou Mansion!" β
What made Nan Wanwan a little strange was that when she heard her say this, her brother didn't ask her who the old gentleman was.
Could it be that I said it in front of my brother in the past, and it seems that I didn't have it. Nan Wanwan fell into deep thought.
Ahead, Su Zhaoning had already spoken to Xu Zhiyuan smoothly.
After apologizing, Xu Zhiyuan picked up the handkerchief that Su Zhaoning left on the ground and returned it to the other party. But when his gaze fell on the words on the handkerchief, Xu Zhiyuan's eyes paused slightly.
"I wonder where the girl is?" Xu Zhiyuan is a military attachΓ© with a straightforward temperament, and when he has doubts in his heart, he asks unabashedly.
"I'm from the Marquis of Chang'an." Su Zhaoning felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. She looked at Xu Zhiyuan and replied clearly, "My name is Zhaoning." β
Hearing her husband rashly ask the identity of a young girl, Mrs. Xu next to her still had some indescribable emotions in her heart. Hearing Su Zhaoning's words, her eyes suddenly became clear.
Zhaoning.
This name, Mrs. Xu remembers.
Lord Xu remembers it even more.
He asked excitedly, "Your mother is, but ......."
Su Zhaoning met Xu Zhiyuan's gaze and took the initiative to answer: "My mother is the second daughter of Lord Xu Hujiang. β
"My name is Xu Zhiyuan." Xu Zhiyuan didn't expect that the girl he had no intention of meeting would be his niece.
His mood was also a little excited, and his speech was a little upside down: "Do you know who I am? My name is Xu Zhiyuan. I'm Xu Zhiyuan. β
Su Zhaoning felt the other party's excitement. Her heart was actually fluctuating.
Her eldest uncle asked, does it mean that he has been looking forward to seeing her all along?
In his heart, he also has her mother, her and her sister, right?
Su Zhaoning couldn't help but blurt out: "I know you, you are my eldest uncle." β
Mrs. Xu interjected and asked, "Then it's not a coincidence that you met us today?" β
You should be honest with your loved ones, right?
Su Zhaoning nodded and replied, "I heard that my eldest uncle has returned to Beijing to take up a post, and I have always wanted to come and see him. But there is no chance. Today, I accidentally heard that my uncle was going to bring his family to Qingquan Temple, so Zhaoning came to recognize him. β
She raised her head and looked at Xu Zhiyuan in front of her expectantly.
