Chapter Twenty-Eight: Homecoming
After Su Ting was released from prison, he went straight home.
Along the way, I met a number of three aunts and six aunts in the neighborhood halfway through, idlers and drunken ghosts or something, nodding and saying hello on the surface, but there were a lot of gossips behind the scenes that fell into Su Ting's keen ears.
What kind of theft, what kind of bandits, what kind of unsuccessful words, etc., can be regarded as more subtle.
For these gossips, as long as it does not involve his cousin, Su Ting will ignore it as a deaf ear.
Along the way, when he returned home, Su Ting raised his hand and hesitated for a long time.
He knew that the news this time must have fallen on his cousin's ears.
As the night passed, my cousin was terrified.
Speaking of which, it's still a bit ill-conceived.
Looking at this door, he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
He was not afraid of his cousin's anger, but he was afraid of his cousin's sad appearance.
That's more confusing than any prison sentence.
After thinking about it for a long time, just as Su Ting was about to push the door, he suddenly heard the voice of an old woman who was old and smiling.
"Little girl of the Su family, think about it carefully. ”
"Your Su boy was arrested, only our Tang boy can fish him out, if you want to save people, you have to think about it. ”
"The old woman knows that the Qian family and the Li family have both come to matchmaking, but where can they compare to our Tang Gongzi?"
"Although the Qian family is rich and powerful, the Qian family is lame, and his eyes are half blind. And although the Li family is innocent, and the Li family is talented and good-looking, but he is poor, and he has no ability to help you rescue Su Xiaozi. ”
"Only Tang Gongzi, who has a big family and a big business, can intercede with the Sun family, make the big things small and the small things small, and then let the county government network open up. ”
Outside the door, Su Ting couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these words, and his expression was full of astonishment.
However, the matchmaker's voice did not stop, and she continued to chant endlessly.
"Girl Su, think about it carefully, although Tang Gongzi's appearance is a little unsatisfactory, although he also has a main room, but your family background is like this, and he is not an official lady, where can you pick and choose?"
"The concubine of the son of the Tang family, if the wind is released, I don't know how many people are willing to marry it?"
"Look at the house next door to you, who sold her daughter to be a maid, and it was only twenty taels of silver. The old woman said the day before yesterday that the family was even more shabby, and she got a dowry of eight taels of silver when she married a daughter. ”
"In this world, the lives of the poor are cheap, and it is your blessing that Tang Gongzi can look down on you. ”
The matchmaker's voice passed through the wooden door and fell into the ears of Su Ting outside the courtyard.
Su Ting's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
In ancient times, the concubine was a servant, even worse than a handmaiden.
Many times, even some dignitaries and dignitaries regard concubines as gifts to each other, and their low status is not much better than that of maids and slaves.
As for the son of the Tang family, he has also heard of it, his face is ugly, he is lustful, and he likes to linger in Fengyue places the most.
Such a person also dares to worry about the people of his Su family?
Is this matchmaker blind to such a person?
Su Ting was full of anger, raised his hand, and was about to push the door open.
At this time, I heard the matchmaker's voice again, which was a little tougher than before.
"Su girl, don't be too arrogant just because you are good-looking. ”
"In the past, there were many people who saw that you were good-looking and showed you goodwill, but you had to take care of the sick seedling, and refused all, when you were still young and good-looking, it was just that, but now you are over twenty years old, and you are no longer a little girl's family. ”
"The little girl can pick and choose, but the big girl can only let the family pick and choose. ”
"Do you remember, last time it was said that you were contaminated with evil spirits and that you were an ominous woman, how many other people told you about matchmaking?"
Saying that, the matchmaker smiled and said, "If you look good, you don't necessarily have to get married." ”
At this time, I heard Su Yuefeng open her mouth and said softly: "Mother-in-law, I am indeed an ominous woman, and perhaps because of this, I have harmed Xiaoting." But whether to marry or not, whether it is auspicious or unknown, is my business, and I don't bother my mother-in-law. ”
"Mother-in-law does these things, how can you not bother? If you don't bother this time, you will always have to bother next time, and you can't always stay unmarried, right?"
The matchmaker laughed with sarcasm, and when she said this, she said: "Mother-in-law, I won't hide it from you, this time the temple wishes Song Lao, saying that you are kind and pure-hearted, able to gather blessings, and are a woman from a prosperous family, so she provoked the evil spirit, and now the evil spirit is gone, and there is no hindrance...... Now many people are worried about you, a girl, who can prosper the family, and there must be a lot of people who want to come to your house to propose marriage in the past few days, but you must know that the son of the Tang family can be your good match. ”
The matchmaker's voice, with a bit of toughness, already has a slight taste of persecution.
At this moment, my cousin's soft and gentle voice came softly, and said: "Mother-in-law, I haven't thought about marriage, besides, Xiaoting is the man in the family, everything has to wait for him to come back, only he can be my master." ”
"He wants to come back?" The matchmaker, who had already known Su Ting's situation, couldn't help but sneer at this moment, and said, "If you don't agree to Tang Gongzi, with the Tang family's methods, it won't be easy for him to come back." ”
"Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Even if she is as gentle as Su Yuefeng, at this time, when she talks about Su Ting, she can't help but have a cold tone, and says, "Xiaoting will definitely be able to come back." ”
"Well, the old woman doesn't talk to you. The matchmaker snorted and said: "Don't always reject the old woman tepidly, you must know that although this world is peaceful, some characters are rich and powerful, and it is easy to settle some things, you don't want to toast so much and don't eat punishment." You have to think about it, when the time comes, what else can you do when the raw rice is cooked and the rice is ripe? When the time comes, you can't satisfy Tang Gongzi, and your status and treatment will have to be lower. ”
Su Yue's eyebrows frowned, her already pale and haggard complexion did not look very good, and she became more and more pitiful, her eyes gradually became angry, but her temperament has always been soft, but she couldn't think of anything evil, she just shouted softly: "Mother-in-law, you better leave." ”
The matchmaker smiled sarcastically, and was about to continue speaking.
However, at this moment, the matchmaker only felt a tightness behind her back.
A cold voice, calm came.
"Tell you to get out, didn't you hear?"
Su Ting lifted her with one hand, and a cold color flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.
Last night, he hurt someone, although he didn't do it himself, but his soul consciousness sank into the Five Elements Force, which is no different from doing it himself, and the residual killing thoughts have not disappeared at this moment, and this matchmaker happened to meet at this moment.
The killing machine is cold and terrifying.
The matchmaker only felt cold all over, and said tremblingly: "Su ...... Su Ting?"
Su Ting's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was about to make a move.
However, at this time, my cousin called out softly and said, "No." ”
Su Ting's hand stopped, sighed, and then pushed the matchmaker to the side and ignored it again.
The matchmaker was breathing for the rest of her life after the robbery, and she couldn't figure out how this Su Ting, who was supposed to be in prison, could get out of prison today?
She was frightened by Su Ting before, and she was bent on escaping, but when she thought of the explanation of the son of the Tang family, the generous remuneration, and then remembered that the world is peaceful and the law and discipline are perfect, she can't help but feel a little relieved.
She took a deep breath, and then continued to speak, explaining how big the Tang family was, so that the Su family brothers and sisters would be sober and know what it meant to hit a stone with an egg.
However, before she could speak, she saw Su Ting smile at her.
The smile is bright, gentle and approachable.
The matchmaker shuddered.
"Mother-in-law, sober up. ”
Su Ting lifted the wooden bucket with one hand, and with a bang, a bucket of water poured down.
The matchmaker stayed there, stunned.
Su Ting pushed her out of the door and closed the door with her hand.
After a while, there was a shouting and scolding from outside the door.
Suddenly, Su Ting opened the door and looked at the other party quietly.
The matchmaker was silent for a moment, turned her head and hurried away, and the abuse in her mouth kept stopping.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, what if this sick seedling is really crazy and wants to beat someone?
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but scold secretly, how could the sick seedlings who had been sick for many years be so powerful?
......
"Break your dog's leg next time!"
After driving away the matchmaker, Su Ting exhaled and turned around.
Su Yuefeng stood there, her eyes bright, quiet and pure, and she was quietly looking at Su Ting.
Those eyes were full of worries, worries, fears, panic, uneasiness, and other emotions, but at this moment, they all turned into joy.
The joy of joy made her eyes gradually glow with a crystal luster.
She covered her mouth, and for a moment, burst into tears.
"Sister......
Su Ting didn't know how to speak for a while.
All the explanations I had thought of were all gone up in smoke at this moment.
Facing this gaze, he only felt that it was heavier than the oppression of the Yin God on the night.
That night, the Venerable Yin God brought oppression.
And this time, he felt responsibility!
