Chapter 116: The Difference Between a Good Brother and a Good Father
"What, Master Hou means that General Chen has known about this for a long time?" Su Jinyu blurted out and asked.
Su Zhaoning also looked up at Nan Huaixin.
Nan Huaixin obviously hasn't understood what this "I already knew" represents. Still upholding the principle of honesty, he nodded, and replied truthfully: "I heard it with Tianyang. ”
"Master Hou has a heart." Su Jinyu, who promised to make a vase, forgot her promise. He looked at Nan Huaixin with a blue face and made a gesture of "please".
"Master Hou, Su's own sister Su will protect herself. Don't dare to worry about Hou Ye and General Chen. "Su Jinyu doesn't want to be a vase anymore, she doesn't want to be silent anymore.
The fire in his heart burned suddenly.
I thought that the hussar general was the same as him, and he saw the goodness of his second sister.
But it turns out that people are just giving grace.
Is this grace for the sake of his Su Jinyu's face?
Su Jinyu, who feels good about herself, didn't think about another possibility for Chen Tianyang and Nan Huaixin to stand up at all.
"Master Hou, please." Su Jinyu is a person who is so upright that even a princess dares to scold. Now that his sister is in the first place, he doesn't want to let this Marquis of Dingyuan "hurt" his second sister here.
His sister is so bad, can marriage only rely on mercy?
"Su Shilang......" Nan Huaixin finally sensed that something was wrong.
He knew Su Jinyu's attitude, because his words changed abruptly. But he didn't figure out why the other party was so unhappy.
Do you only like Chen Tianyang's meaning?
Nan Huai's confidence was a little frustrated for a while, and he unconsciously looked at Su Zhaoning.
Su Zhaoning's mood at this time was also a little complicated.
She is not Su Jinyu, and she will not misunderstand Chen Tianyang's thoughts.
After all, General Chen's performance outside the Chang'an Marquis Mansion that day was already very obvious. In the conversation that followed, although Su Zhaoning rejected the other party, it didn't mean that she was stupid enough to not understand Chen Tianyang's intentions.
What Su Zhaoning doesn't understand now is Nan Huaixin's heart.
Dingyuan Marquis Nan Huaixin said that he and Chen Tianyang's hearts are the same.
Nan Huaixin really knows what Chen Tianyang's heart is for her Su Zhaoning? Is he of the same heart?
If so, why did he let the doctor in the house hide An Yi's poisoning? Didn't he look down on himself?
Su Zhaoning felt that his thoughts were also very chaotic.
In the chaos, the only thing she can be sure of is that her top priority now is not to determine the mind of the Marquis of Dingyuan.
"Master Hou, please go back first. If Wanwan misses me, let her come to see me at home. Su Zhaoning lowered his eyes and avoided Nan Huaixin's gaze.
Nan Huaixin wanted to say more, but Su Jinyu had already stood up and posed directly at the door with a "please" posture.
After all, Nan Huaixin is the Marquis of Dingyuan. When the Su family brothers and sisters said this, he would not force him to stay any longer, so he got up and left.
It's just that when he came out of the courtyard, Nan Huaixin couldn't help but glance back at Su Zhaoning in the room.
The colorful glazed horse is his eternal regret.
This time, will he regret it too?
No.
Nan Huaixin was very sure of the answer in his heart. He walked out of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion with firm steps.
And in Su Zhaoning's room, Su Jinyu, who stayed behind, fell into deep guilt.
He walked back to the table where Su Zhaoning was sitting from the door of the room, and he walked dozens of steps in such a short distance.
It is said to be walking, but it is actually moving.
In front of Su Zhaoning, Su Jinyu didn't even dare to look up at her second sister. He lowered his head and asked Su Zhaoning rather frustratedly: "Second sister, do you think that the eldest brother is very useless?" ”
Su Zhaoning didn't know what Su Jinyu had become of Nan Huaixin's words today. She just comforted Su Jinyu on a case-by-case basis: "Why is the eldest brother so arrogant? You didn't choose to conflict with your father directly, but went directly to see Zhou Shangshu, which actually solved my problem. ”
"Zhou Shangshu is not a father, and he will not really agree to this marriage no matter what." Su Zhaoning thought of her father, smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued, "My father can't help Zhou Shangshu. ”
Su Jinyu felt a little comforted, he raised his head, looked at his second sister, and continued to ask, "What happened just now, does the second sister blame me?" ”
But Su Jinyu didn't wait for Su Zhaoning to give an answer, so she answered it directly.
"Second sister, I don't want you to marry into the Zhou family, not just because my uncle wants you to be a concubine. Ordinary people know that men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. I have dealt with the eldest son of the Zhou family, and he will not be a good match for you. ”
After talking about the eldest son of Zhou, Su Jinyu mentioned Chen Tianyang again. He frowned and said, "I thought General Chen was a good match, after all, he was of good character and upright. However, I didn't expect him to be that kind of person too! ”
Su Jinyu's final conclusion was quite disdainful.
Even if Su Zhaoning didn't want to have any entanglement with Chen Tianyang, she had to admit that Chen Tianyang was a good general and a good person. Then why did her eldest brother say this about Chen Tianyang?
Su Zhaoning couldn't help asking, "Big brother is saying, what kind of person is Chen Tianyang?" ”
"Profit-seekers!" Su Jinyu replied angrily, "People in the world are more profit-seeking, and I can understand the general profit-seeking behavior. But I despise those who take advantage of their parents, relatives, and themselves. ”
"If he wants to use his parents, relatives, and himself to pursue interests, then in the future, in the face of interests, how will he sacrifice profits and protect his wife's family?" Su Jinyu said it loudly, obviously from the bottom of her heart.
His words are not unreasonable.
During the years that Su Zhaoning endured in the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion, although he tolerated everything, he never thought of exchanging his marriage for anything.
If a person is willing to give up even his own marriage, even to himself, what else can't he do? Or rather, what else can he be reluctant to give?
Su Zhaoning agreed with Su Jinyu's words.
But the key is, at that moment, how did her eldest brother know that Chen Tianyang was this kind of person?
Holding the marriage?
Su Zhaoning thought for a while, and had some thoughts. She asked Su Jinyu: "What does the eldest brother mean that General Chen proposed to me, but it was actually your idea?" ”
Su Jinyu looked guilty when he heard this, and he said ashamedly to his sister: "It's the eldest brother who is sorry for you." I am now in a smooth career, but not only has it not brought you any benefit, but it has caused such insincere people. ”
Su Zhaoning was still a little puzzled, she asked Su Jinyu: "Why didn't the eldest brother think that General Chen had such a purpose before, and why did the eldest brother Fang think like this after the Marquis of Dingyuan came?" ”
What did the Marquis of Dingyuan say just now?
There's nothing wrong with that. Except for the last sentence.
The last sentence.
Su Zhaoning realized again.
She asked her eldest brother: "Does the eldest brother think that the Marquis of Dingyuan said that he and General Chen are both concentric, and this concentricity means using marriage to seek benefits?" ”
"Hmm." Su Jinyu nodded heavily.
He sighed and said, "I thought that a person like Chen Tianyang would be bloody in a life and death scene like the battlefield all year round, and his eyes would always be more transparent than ordinary people. But I didn't expect that he was also a court official first, and then a general. ”
The back house is more calculating, and the court officials are more strategic.
In fact, there is no difference between calculation and strategy.
Su Zhaoning did not ask any more questions about Su Jinyu. She thought back to Chen Tianyang and herself, and it seemed that she couldn't understand this person.
So her eldest brother thinks like this, and she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
As for the Marquis of Dingyuan, she didn't understand his mind even more.
But Su Jinyu, after all kinds of thoughts of guilt and shame, he only had one thought.
Looking at the second sister in front of her, Su Jinyu cautiously promised: "Second sister, don't worry." The eldest brother swore that he would never let you marry someone who didn't love you and would make you wronged. ”
"No matter who comes, it can't be." Su Jinyu made up his mind, he would definitely not let his grandmother agree to this proposal from the Hussar General's Mansion.
Hearing such words, Su Zhaoning said in his heart that it was false if he was not moved.
But compared with Su Jinyu, Su Zhaoning looked at the back house of the Marquis of Chang'an, and it was obviously more thorough.
She knew that her father still couldn't get around her marriage.
So, with such a father, does she have to continue to endure it?
Soon, Second Master Su told Su Zhaoning the answer with his actual actions.
Still in the study, Su Jingzheng told Su Zhaoning his decision very complacently.
"What you said last time made a lot of sense. Your mother has a younger brother in her womb, and I will always be old in the future, and your brother will have to rely on these brothers-in-law. I don't have to worry about your marriage. It's just that Rouhui is a little uncompromising. ”
"But, in the end, I have more than two daughters. I have already thought about it, so let Yingying put you in your original position and follow Rouhui to marry the Ministry of Rites Shangshufu. ”
Even though she had been prepared for her father's absurdity, Su Zhaoning still asked in disbelief at this moment: "What did my father say, who took my place and followed Su Rouhui to marry the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites?" What does it mean to take my place? ”
Su Jingzheng didn't know for the time being that Su Zhaoning's marriage with the Hussar General's Mansion would not come true. Therefore, it was the first time for him to speak to Su Zhaoning with such a pleasant face: "That is, you marry to the Hussar General's Mansion, and Rouhui and Yingying marry to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites." In this way, your brother will have something to rely on in the future. ”
"Father, do you remember how old Ying Ying is this year?" Su Zhaoning's heart was cold.
Su Jingzheng thought back in confusion, and couldn't remember the age of his daughter. In the end, he waved his hand absently and replied, "Anyway, my daughter's family is married." It was her blessing that she could follow her sister to marry into the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites. I have also discussed with your mother, Yingying should not be a concubine when she marries, but a flat wife. ”
"You will also be the general's wife in the future, and my sister will be a concubine, and it is always not nice to say it. Besides, it's not easy for your brother to say that he has a sister who is a concubine in the future. Su Jingzheng felt that he was very generous.
Su Zhaoning gritted his teeth and said, "Father, you are really a good father. ”
