"Su Xue, since that poor kid is so poor, you can buy some scholar's Mobao to do what he likes, let the coachman bring it over, and praise him. Secretly ask if you have any dealings with the third lady in the Hou Mansion. If there is, when the third lady goes, let's go too. When the time comes, I will take Aunt Qing, just wait outside, and when I meet her, let's get in the car and talk about it. ”

Su Xue and Su Lan glanced at each other, and then spoke at the same time: "Miss, don't be so troublesome, right?" Let's directly post Miss Hou Fusan, saying that there is a problem with her aunt's identity, and ask her to come over and talk about it. ”

"Where do you two want to go? No matter what, she is the young lady of the Hou Mansion, and your young lady and I are just the daughter of a merchant. I don't even have a serious house to live in, and I still post to invite people, even if I want to give, it's called a post, I took the initiative to ask to see someone, not in the inn waiting for someone to meet. Listen to me, that's how it will be arranged. If they don't have any contact, then maybe the third lady herself is not satisfied with this marriage, and she may withdraw from her marriage before she gets married. ”

"If there is a relationship, and it is correct for you to investigate the news of the third young lady here, then the fiancé of this poor son may not be what we see on the surface. I haven't seen anyone now, so it's hard for me to make up my mind. ”

Su Xue Sulan is not very old, because she has just passed the New Year, and now she is fourteen or fifteen.

Hearing Su Mingshan's words, the two of them answered, and asked, "Miss, the slaves and maids are going out to buy now?" ”

"Well, you don't need to buy too expensive ones, the price is within a few dozen taels."

Su Mingshan said, and asked again: "Su Xue, have you heard where that poor disciple lives now?" If we knew, then we wouldn't have to face him directly, we could ask the neighbors around him first, maybe the neighbors would know! As for how to get to the neighbor's to find out, you can watch and do this. For example, passing by and borrowing water to drink when you are thirsty, or coming to look for relatives, looking for the wrong place, etc. ”

"Yes, the slave will do it!"

Su Mingshan didn't squeeze her, so she said, "This is not in a hurry, you have also traveled all the way, now go back to the room to rest." In the evening, you can discuss it, come and watch Aunt Qing alone, and the other person will keep vigil for me. ”

"Yes!"

The Marquis of Zhenguo is surnamed Zhou, and at this time, Zhou Caijing, the third lady in the house, is in her aunt's room.

She had a cold pretty face, and her eyes were full of tears.

"Do you really want to be so ruthless, for the sake of your brother, just let me marry a disgraceful outer room?"

Zhou Caijing's aunt is called Qian Yufei, known as Aunt Fei.

At this time, when she heard Zhou Caijing's words, she had a black face and reprimanded in a deep voice: "What do you call my brother?" Isn't my brother your uncle? Besides, what's wrong with marrying Xiangyang? He looks like a talent, even if it is an outer room, it is also the right prime minister's family. You don't understand what the situation of our Hou Mansion is now? If you have the ability, tell your father about it! ”

Zhou Caijing lowered her voice and roared: "What about the right prime minister's house, it's not an unsightly outer room?" Other people have a bad reputation, you have to sacrifice the rest of my life for the uncle I have never met, I tell you, this is impossible. I want to quit my family, if you dare to force me, I will die for you. ”

As for her father, didn't she listen to her aunt?

Qian Yufei is a ruthless person, and when she heard this, she sneered and said, "You don't need to die, I'll die for you first." I'm your mother, I'm dead, you have to keep filial piety, and you don't have to marry. ”

As she spoke, she plucked a golden hairpin from her head and aimed it directly at her neck, and looked directly at the person in front of her.

"You choose, do you marry, or do I die?"

Zhou Caijing has always known that her aunt is an ambitious and ruthless person, even if she is just a concubine, but she has always had weight in this mansion.

My mother-in-law is not in good health, she is sick in bed all the year round, and her aunt is in charge of all the housework.

And her aunt is a person who knows proportion, no matter what big or small things in the house, she will tell her grandmother, especially in major matters, she will let her mother "take" the idea.

Before that, in order to win the trust of his mother-in-law, after giving birth to her, he also took the initiative to take the medicine of the heir.

Now, it is not an exaggeration for her aunt to say that she is the second lady in the Hou Mansion!

But because of her self-denial and intelligence, her father respected her as if she were a wife.

Even, she can take a concubine for her father without changing her face.

And in order to reassure the mother-in-law, the concubines selected are all ordinary people's families.

What's more, before the concubines enter the palace, they will explain the conditions of the heirs clearly and let them choose for themselves.

Among them, except for the beauties sent by her father's colleagues, she didn't do this, and none of the other concubines she chose had children so far.

Thinking of this, looking at her aunt's resolute attitude, her heart was like a knife.

Qian Yufei saw that she didn't squeak for a long time, so she put down the golden hairpin in her hand, then reached out and touched her hair, and sighed faintly.

After a while, I saw her pear blossom and said with tears: "Caijing, don't blame your aunt for being ruthless." My aunt knows that you don't like Xiangyang, but there is no way to do it. ”

Zhou Caijing hates her like this the most, especially when she hears the words "This is also something that can't be helped".

Since she was a child, she has heard it I don't know how many times, and she has long been annoyed in her heart.

When she was young, she wanted to get married and get rid of her aunt.

But her aunt always refused on the grounds that she had only one child, and the girl's family would marry too early, so she would have children too early, and it would be bad for her health.

It was not until this year, when she was eighteen, that she relented.

Who knows, the person she chose was actually Song Xiangyang.

A few years ago, he would try to fall first, and he had to find some excuses such as poor family and thin clothes.

This kind of man is very hypocritical, she married in the past, can she have a good life in the future?

She didn't just come out of a quagmire and fall into another swamp.

Zhou Caijing, who was unwilling in her heart, couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, my uncle, who has never met before, is so important to you?" It's so important that you'd rather see me unhappy in the rest of my life, and marry me to Song Xiangyang, so that the right minister can help save people? ”

Qian Yufei's eyes flashed with pain, and she said after a long time: "Caijing, my aunt really has no way to do this." My aunt has never told you that my aunt also has a twin sister, and my aunt and sister are concubines, and before I was sent to the capital by my brother-in-law, your aunt was not willing to do it at all. She has a soft personality, she is an unassertive person, and she likes to cry when she encounters something. My aunt knew that if she wanted to come to the capital, there would be only one way out. ”

Later, my aunt tried to make her have a high fever, and it looked like she had smallpox to escape the fate of being sent to the capital. It's just that my aunt didn't expect that after she was put down halfway, she was actually taken back by your uncle. ”

"Over the years, my aunt has not heard from her, and all she can know is that your uncle called someone to send her. My aunt only knew that once my aunt did not listen to him, and it was not long before my aunt was distressed for several days, and then my aunt received a letter from him, which contained a bloody handkerchief from your aunt. Say I'm disobedient, just wait to collect your aunt's body. ”
