Chapter 46: Dilemma
In addition to the old lady Xiao in the water pavilion, they also looked at Su Zhiwei and asked each other who she was and why she knew the old lady of Yunbei Wangfu.
Su Zhiwei's body stiffened, and he slowed down for a moment before taking two steps forward and saluting Old Madam Xiao.
"How many years have we not seen each other?"
Su Zhi pursed his lips slightly, "Eight years." ”
"Yes, eight years, the days have passed so fast, you ......" Old Madam Xiao sighed, "You ......"
"Is the old lady in good health?" Su Zhiwei had already sorted out her mind and looked up at Old Madam Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao was born in the General's Mansion and practiced kung fu, and she once went to the battlefield with General Xiao, so her body has always been tough. At this time, although she was full of gorgeous hair, her heroic spirit between her eyebrows was undiminished, and she had an awe-inspiring momentum.
Old Madam Xiao nodded, "Okay, very good, what about you?" ”
"I'm fine, too."
"You're ...... good," Old Madam Xiao chewed on these words carefully, and couldn't help but sigh again, "That's it, the past is always in the past." ”
Su Zhiwei saluted Old Madam Xiao again, "The juniors still have something to do, so don't bother." ”
After speaking, Su Zhiwei turned around and left.
Old Madam Xiao asked at this time: "Have you ever regretted it?" ”
"Never."
I never had a choice, and how can I regret it.
She didn't look at Old Madam Xiao and strode outside.
walked out for a long time, and when he turned a corner, Su Zhiwei began to gasp for breath, and he had been holding his breath just now.
She was panting and coughing, and her head was lightheaded, but she was more panicked than her physical discomfort, afraid of being sick and afraid of being seen by anyone to see her sick and pitiful.
So he hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle and ate a pill everywhere. It's probably a psychological effect, and after taking it, she immediately felt much better.
"Girl, you ......" Lianxin wanted to say but stopped.
"Don't mention him!" Su Zhi said busily.
Seeing that her girl's face was ugly, Lian Xin hurriedly said: "Don't mention it, don't worry, don't panic, don't be afraid." ”
Su Zhiwei shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”
The mirror came over, and I really didn't know why, but this girl has always been smart, and she didn't ask much, she just went to ask for a pot of tea and poured a cup for Su Zhiwei to let her feel good.
After drinking the tea, Su Zhiwei exhaled deeply.
Xiao Dingbei, to be honest, she hasn't thought of this person for a long time, she seems to have never known him, never cried for him, never loved him.
After sitting here for a long time, it was time for the table to begin.
Su Zhiwei thought about simply leaving, but since Mrs. Xiao has returned to Pingdu, Xiao Dingan will come back sooner or later, and she will meet sooner or later, and she can't hide.
Besides, there's no need to hide.
The banquet was divided into men's and women's seats, and when Su Zhiwei passed through the verandah, he saw that Jiang Moyan was also coming, and he would naturally come on this occasion.
It's just that he is a five-grade outsider, and he is really not qualified to talk to these dignitaries, so he can only lick his face and stick to the pile.
When Su Zhiwei passed, he heard an official's yin and yang weird damage to Jiang Moyan: "Yo, Jiang Yuanwailang is amazing, I heard that he is about to be promoted to the right servant of the household department, and he has been promoted to three levels in a row, I am really envious to death." ”
Jiang Moyan was quite proud when he heard this, and his waist straightened a little.
"Ren Shuke is coming down?" Another official asked.
Jiang Moyan smiled: "Not yet." ”
"Yo, that's a shadowless thing, how did it become known to everyone?"
Hearing this, Jiang Moyan knew that the other party was hurting him, and his face turned red at the moment.
"Lord Li, you are mistaken, Lord Jiang has been quite famous recently, but it is not because of Gao Sheng."
"What's the reason for that?"
"Tsk, it was Lord Jiang who asked for a servant girl next to him, but Mrs. Jiang was not jealous, and the second girl of the Jiang family quit, so she beat the handmaid first, and then rushed to the house outside. And because Master Jiang stayed there last night, the two girls were going to cut people with knives, and the maid was so frightened that she ran to the street without clothes, shouting for help while running. Hahaha, what's even more interesting is that I was bumped into by an official errand, don't you think it's funny? ”
Isn't it funny, a few officials next to him couldn't straighten up with laughter. Wei Jiang Moyan stood there, his face was blue and blue.
"But what does this Jiang Er girl think, what kind of jealousy does she eat with the woman in her brother's bed?"
"It's probably ......" the official's eyes rolled, "Brother Ai's heart is very good." ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all with tacit expressions.
"My sister loves my brother, and my brother loves my sister, it's not the same thing, it's just that Lord Jiang and Miss Jiang are extra affectionate."
Hearing this, how could Jiang Moyan still stand, so he hurriedly excused himself and avoided it.
The corners of Su Zhiwei's mouth twitched, and she came to the women's seat in the West Courtyard.
The seats were placed in the verandahs on both sides of the courtyard, and when she passed, except for the table in front of her, the rest were seated.
And she stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, but no maid came to lead her to her seat.
At this time, she saw Jiang Yinghua waving to her at the table at the end, and pointed to the seat next to her. Su Zhiwei didn't think much about it and walked towards her.
As the Jiang family, they can only sit there.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take a seat for you, I'm afraid you won't have a place to sit if you're late." Jiang Yinghua said enthusiastically.
Su Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, Jiang Yinghua has such a good heart?
I'm afraid this seat is nailed!
Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, Han's mother came in behind the second lady Zhang, and when she saw Su Zhiwei, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she got closer and said something to Zhang, Zhang glanced at Su Zhiwei, and then they came over.
"Mrs. Jiang, my family didn't give you an invitation, did they?" Zhang came up and asked, and the ladies and girls at the table next to him all looked over.
Without waiting for Su Zhiwei to answer, Han's mother pouted and said, "You don't know, she was born in a merchant, she has no education, and she loves to climb high branches." I learned that I was going to bring the second girl of the Jiang family to the banquet, and she had to follow her, hey, I couldn't do it. ”
"Heh, where is my Hou Mansion, where cats and dogs can come?"
"I can't be cheap."
The two of you said a word to me, the words were very ugly, and the others looked at Su Zhiwei and showed disdain.
Such humiliation, if it had been placed before, Su Zhiwei would have run away with a red face. But not now, isn't it just a shame, everyone loses it together, who is afraid of whom!
"Mrs. Jiang is really thick-skinned, she has to eat a meal in our Hou Mansion, but this son is not yours, please let the other guests go." Zhang said coldly.
Su Zhiwei raised his head, "What about my seat?" ”
Zhang's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced sideways at Han's mother, probably asking her again why Su Zhiwei didn't leave with such a big face.
Mother Han thought for a moment, pointed to the location at the door and said to Zhang's family: "Second lady, I see that a small square table can be placed there." ”
Zhang hesitated slightly, and ordered the maidservant behind him to put a small square table there.
"By the way, move a small bench."
The maidservant was in trouble, "There is no small bench at home?" ”
"Naturally, the Hou Mansion does not have a small bench for the master and guests, but you have it in the room."
The handmaid got the order and was busy getting ready.
After a while, a square table was set up under the weeping flower gate in the west courtyard, and a small bench was placed, and under the gaze of all the guests, Su Zhiwei sat down generously.
