Chapter 44: Bitterness
Baturu is the coolest of the three Suo Yuluo brothers, his ability is not great, but his heart is not small at all, which is not difficult to see from the fact that in the previous life, he knew that Yun Qi had replaced her marriage, but he still connived. It's a pity that their father and daughter are both ambitious and talented, and they often overestimate themselves and underestimate others when they do things.
Nowadays, although the second and third rooms have not replaced the status of the big house, they are no longer like in the past, everything is headed by the big house, especially the second room, Alhatu has accumulated more and more merits on the battlefield in recent years, and it is more and more important, as long as there is no accident, after the war of the rebellion of the three feudatories, he will definitely become the first person in the junior of Suoyuluofu. At that time, the big house is destined to be suppressed by the second room, which makes the originally dominant big house withdraw from the home field, and the feeling in my heart can be imagined.
If the son does not grow up, then he can only expect his daughter to marry well, after all, the exemption from election has become a fact, and Baturu is powerless.
Although Yunxi doesn't know who Baturu picked for Yunqi, according to Batulu's temperament, this person's identity must be good. Now that the status of the big house is not as good as before, it is reasonable for Baturu to want to seek cooperation to elevate the status of the big house.
It's just that Baturu puts all his thoughts on how to suppress the second and third rooms, so that he can find a good family for Yun Qi, to put it bluntly, as long as the other party's family is strong enough, no matter whether it is a gentleman or an embroidered pillow, as long as he can help him, he will marry Yun Qi.
From this point of view, compared to marrying Yunqi to Bayan, Baturu's arrangement seems to be better. At that time, even if Yun Qi is unwilling, and Shu Mulu has objections, I am afraid that he will not be able to be the master, after all, the real person in charge is Baturu, not them.
In the room, Ma Jiashi was leaning on the beauty couch, his eyes were slightly closed, the expression on his face was gray, and the whole person looked much older. Hearing the movement, Ma Jiashi opened his eyes and saw Yunxi coming in, and couldn't help but ease his expression and said, "You're here." ”
The relationship between Yunxi and Ma Jia's is very delicate, saying that they are close, the two have their own thoughts, and they say that they are not close, and the two seem to be standing in the same camp, always fighting against Shu Mulu's mother and daughter.
Taking a sip of tea, Ma Jiashi sat up, Yunxi saw this, and couldn't help but sit down beside her, this single move can see that they are still standing on the same front, at least Ma Jiashi is not wary of Yunxi.
"You have fallen in love with the queen's brother Lunbu. Ma Jiashi saw Yunxi sit down and glanced at her.
When Yunxi heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. She said that Mama Su was waiting for her at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning, it turned out that Ma Jiashi wanted to use her mouth to probe her Amma, no, maybe it was her eldest brother's tone. In a certain way, Ma Jia's family also regarded Yunxi as his own people.
Of course, even if Yunxi knew that Ma Jia's family was showing goodwill, she would not be sincere, because she knew in her heart that whenever it came to the interests of the Suo Yuluo family, this family affection would naturally be a little weaker, even if there would be hesitation, but she would be the one who would be sacrificed in the end. So in order not to be disappointed again, Yunxi knew from the moment she opened her eyes that in this Suoqiluo Mansion, except for Alhatu and Anahuzhan, the other people were not worthy of her sincerity.
"The elder brother of the queen's mother, the second son of the first-class Cheng Enbo, has a noble status, and he is also compatible with the eldest sister, but the granddaughter heard that he had been married a few years ago, could it be that Amu Qi wanted to ......" Although Yunxi's words were not finished, the meaning of the expression was quite clear.
When Ma Jiashi heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, and the look on her face became more and more ugly, it was obvious that the reason why she hesitated was because she didn't want the eldest daughter of the Suluo family to be a concubine.
Whether this is a wife or a concubine, it also depends on the identity of the other party, the queen's brother is indeed valuable, but it is not enough for them to completely let go of their dignity.
Just thinking about it, there was a noise at the door, and then I saw Shu Mulu's mother and daughter, Xilin Jueluo and Li Jia's mother and daughter walking in from outside.
Even if Ma Jia's face was ugly, it was only a matter of a moment, and after Shu Mulu and the others came in, she had already regained her former shrewdness, and even this spirit looked very different from before.
Shu Mulu and the others saluted Ma Jia's family, and when Ma Jia's raised his hand, several people sat down. Yun Qi, who was standing beside Shu Mulu's side, looked at this scene of 'deep love between ancestors and grandchildren', and couldn't help but show a trace of sourness on his face.
"I said why didn't I see the third sister's person, it turns out that the third sister has come to Mama's side alone early in the morning, is it really filial?" Yun Qi has indeed grown a lot compared to before, but because of the repeated exemption from the election, the whole person has become gloomy, and the opening of the mouth is either provocative or sarcastic, and it is annoying to be bitter.
Ma Jia's family originally had some feelings for her, and felt that if she couldn't enter the palace, she could at least marry a clan, anyway, as long as the plan was in place, this marriage would not be too bad. It's a pity that Yun Qi's performance has made her feel more and more disappointed, if it weren't for the name of this eldest daughter and the hard work she has put in over the years, Ma Jiashi might have nodded and agreed to the marriage that Baturu said.
Suojuluo Mansion is now polarized, the luck of the big house has declined repeatedly, and the luck of the second and third rooms has risen one after another, how can such a comparison make Ma Jia's not anxious. But she can't ruin the luck of the second and third rooms because of eccentricity, if she can, she hopes that the big room can find her own luck, and then the three rooms work together to restore the past glory of Suoyuluo Mansion.
It's a pity that Baturu himself is not angry, his ability is limited, but he is still afraid of death, this can't do it, he doesn't dare, and he wants to take a shortcut, so he won't hit the idea on Yunqi. It's just that the matter is not what Ma Jia's family thinks the other party looks at first, but Baturu flatters himself and takes the initiative to send his daughter to the door to show others, so whether this can be done depends on whether the other party appreciates his face in the end.
At this time, although Yun Qi had a smile on his face, the jealousy in his eyes was undisguised, and the tone of his voice was even more sour, and Ma Jiashi, who was seated, frowned.
Ma Jia's family didn't mention whether it was true love or fake love for Yunxi, but at least now she attaches importance to Yunxi, after all, among the granddaughters who have grown up, only Yunxi still has the hope of running, and it is impossible for her to give up Yunxi before the final result is determined, just as she never gave up Yunqi until the last moment.
But she has a good face and respects the rules, Yun Qi's style is simply embarrassing, where is there still a little bit of a noble lady in the Qing Dynasty.
Yunxi looked at Yun Qi's sour and mean appearance, and then looked at Ma Jia's frowning brows, she was in a good mood for no reason, and she also had more flattery for Ma Jia's when she spoke, "Ma Ma loves us so much, and we as granddaughters naturally have to be more filial." ”
Hearing this, Ma Jia's face couldn't help but ease, and his face showed the first smile of the day, "Your filial piety Mama knows, Mama hopes that you can all be well, and all of you can shine on the lintel." ”
Yunxi's eyebrows moved slightly, she thought that in these words, perhaps only the last sentence Ma Jiashi said was the most sincere.
Yun Qi wanted to speak, but was robbed of the conversation by Shu Mulu, "Emok is right. ”
In the past few years, Ma Jia's daughter-in-law has become more and more dissatisfied with Shu Mulu's daughter-in-law, and even her love for Yunqi, the eldest granddaughter, has faded a lot, and after the will to be exempted from the election, her attitude has become more obvious, otherwise Yunqi would not have become so gloomy and bitter all of a sudden. But Ma Jia's family still protects Yunqi in the end, no matter what the reason, at least she did not choose to give up Yunxi directly like in her previous life, but pondered to help Yunqi get through this difficulty.
Now that Shu Mulu is cooperating, she doesn't want to say anything more. The trip to Tanzhe Temple has been decided, and what is the intention of the other party, we have to make a decision after looking at each other, after all, their Suoluo Mansion is still much worse than the Hesheri Mansion, which is in full swing.
Whether this matter is successful or failing, Ma Jiashi plans to think about Yun Lei's marriage carefully, don't look at her lukewarm attitude towards Sanfang, but if she can really use it, she will not be soft at all.
"Three days later, I plan to take the three girls to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense, one is to repay the vow, and the other is to let Master Hui'an help the three girls to see the face and marriage. As soon as Ma Jiashi talked about Master Hui'an, he thought of the prophecy he had said, and his expectations for Yunxi couldn't help but be two points heavier.
If Ma Jia's family was still a little skeptical about Yunxi being the blessed granddaughter in Master Hui'an's mouth, she was 100% sure of the will to be exempted. Now that she is going to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense, she naturally wants to confirm the prophecy that Master Hui'an once said, after all, she has been exempted from the election for two consecutive terms, and she has no bottom in her heart!
Shu Mulu knew very well about going to Tanzhe Temple, no matter what her master and Ma Jiashi thought, she didn't agree anyway, so she thought about taking the opportunity of incense in Tanzhe Temple to push Yunlei or Yunxi out. It is said that if people don't kill for themselves, what her daughter can't get, she naturally won't let others get it, so she paused and looked at Ma Jiashi with a flattering face and said: "Emoke might as well take his daughter-in-law with him! No matter what happens, her daughter-in-law can share her worries and relieve Emoke." ”
As soon as Shu Mulu's words came out, Ma Jiashi guessed the purpose of her going to Tanzhe Temple, and the smile on her face faded a little, and her tone was even more cold: "It's just to go to the temple to offer incense, what worries can you share and solve?"
Shu Mulu didn't expect Ma Jia's to refuse so directly, but for the sake of her daughter, she just put her hot face on Ma Jia's cold ass again and again, and she endured it, "Emok is a blessed person, naturally carefree, and her daughter-in-law said that these are just to have a good time, and I hope that Emok can be fulfilled." ”
Yunxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Shu Mulu's low-voiced appearance, I don't know why, she suddenly envied Yun Qi a little, envied that she had a mother who cared about her so much.
Ma Jiashi didn't notice the slightest change in the expression on Yunxi's face, she only cared about secretly scolding Shu Mulu in her heart for not having an eye. Go to Tanzhe Temple to see each other, according to Ma Jia's arrangement, this thing will definitely not be possible, after all, the lintel of Suo Yuluo's house cannot be destroyed because of Yun Qi alone. Moreover, Shu Mulu's lack of eyesight, acting too selfishly, with her involved, this matter may become more troublesome, so she rejected Shu Mulu in an indifferent tone, "No need, it's enough to have Yunqi and Yunxi, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about me." ”
