Chapter 308: How Much Do You Know About the Past
It is rare not to worry about the affairs in the court. Li Longji gave him a long holiday. Su Zhiyuan's life was pretty good, but the matter about Siyu could not be delayed anymore.
Su Zhiyuan sent someone to invite a matchmaker, wrote down his birthday and asked her to come to Tang's house to propose marriage.
Since I was proposing marriage, I also asked for a bride. I didn’t care about these things when I was with Wushang before, and it was like a secret marriage. But now it doesn’t work. The ancients paid attention to the distinction between wives and concubines. Since it was a concubine, it could not be as formal as marrying a wife, but according to Tang Jingyu’s request, it must be glorious.
Su Zhiyuan has the attributes of a homeless person in his bones. Even though he became a minister in the court, he did not get rid of this problem. Compared with other people's scheming, many people secretly called him a smile on his face.
The matchmaker himself cleaned up and was about to ask someone to go to the Tang Mansion to propose marriage with the dowry. Su Zhiyuan thought about it and planned to go with him.
Matchmaker Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Are you so anxious? Since Miss Tang has an appointment with her, you don't have to be anxious. When the old woman is shining, she will definitely get things done!"
In fact, Aunt Zhang is also a famous matchmaker in Chang'an, and she has talked a lot about mediation for wealthy families, but she has never said a senior official like Su Zhiyuan. If she can succeed, it will be of great help to her life and career. She will also be hard when she speaks out.
"I've told the third-rank official of the court that I'm a matchmaker, who dares to mess with me?"
Su Zhiyuan certainly didn't know Aunt Zhang's complicated psychological activities, so hesitated and asked, "Aunt Zhang, do you think it's appropriate to take two concubines this day?"
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment: "Does sir want to add another one?"
Su Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Actually, I have my own difficulties!"
Aunt Zhang repeatedly said, "Oh, I understand, I understand." Actually, what I thought was that taking a concubine had the same difficulties? You men have a lot of colorful in their stomachs. They are so arrogant when they get a bargain. They are all such high-ranking officials, and they still want to play double happiness, kill two birds with one stone!
"I wonder which girl the other concubine the adult wants is?"
"I am a girl in my house. I want to take her as a concubine."
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "It depends on whether Miss Tang is willing or not. The old woman can't guarantee it."
Su Zhiyuan sighed: "So I want to go with Aunt Zhang, but I'm afraid this matter is not in accordance with the law, so I want to ask."
Aunt Zhang smiled: "Sir, these rules of etiquette and law are determined by people. If an adult wants to marry two women, it is naturally not possible, but isn't the concubine still following the adult's wishes?"
Although this is an era of patriarchal power supremacy and an open era, Su still doesn't want to act alone, so he still has to ask Siyu what he meant.
Aunt Zhang nodded: "Sir, please!"
He followed everyone out of the mansion and rode a tall horse all the way to the Tang Mansion.
Thinking of Siyu's lovely little fairy, Su Zhiyuan smiled on his face.
The others helped to carry the gifts for marriage proposals one by one, and saw the little maid in the yard standing respectfully at the future son-in-law.
If Su Zhiyuan married Tang Siyu, her personal maid would also have to follow her.
However, they didn't expect Su Zhiyuan to come here directly. After all, today is just a time to set aside.
Tang Jingyu sat on the high hall, her sister was not here.
Seeing that Su Zhiyuan finally came over, Tang Jingyu showed a gratified smile on her face.
"This is Siyu's birth date and horoscope."
She is a sister who is quite proactive.
"Sister, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
Tang Jingyu said lightly: "Tell me."
"I want to take a concubine at the same time the day I marry Siyu."
"presumptuous!"
Tang Jingyu's eyebrows stood up, slapped the table and stood up with anger on her face.
Although Su Zhiyuan was not scared away, matchmaker Aunt Zhang took several steps back. She did not expect this woman to react so much.
"Sister, listen to my explanation!"
"I don't listen!!! I felt very wronged to let Siyu be your concubine, but fortunately you are a person who knows the truth, but you are so greedy. Do you know how many young talents want to marry my sister as their wife? Are you still the boy I knew at the beginning?" Tang Jingyu herself had never been happy. She met a man and was still a genuine scumbag, so she really hoped that her sister would live a good life. At least the first point of marriage must be a wife. Su Zhiyuan couldn't do this, she was already considered a concession. Unexpectedly, she wanted to take two concubines. She was really angry and wanted to smash Su's head open and see if there was nothing but lust.
Siyu was waiting in the room in the backyard, but no maid came to tell her what was going on. She could only sneak out of the room and go to the front to see the situation. Before she could even come in front of her, she heard her sister's roar.
What's going on?
"Zhiyuan, I still think you are my brother. I will not agree to this matter. If you want to propose marriage, I will still agree to you. If you are still obsessed with it, I will not let you meet Siyu again."
Tang Jingyu said this firmly. Siyu, who was hiding behind, was startled and didn't know what was going on.
Su Zhiyuan tried to appease Tang Jingyu's intense emotions: "Sister, can you give Siyu a chance to speak? No matter what she says, I will listen to her, okay?"
"No, that little girl is looking at you everywhere. You are the best at lying to the little woman. I dare say that you will continue to take concubines after marrying Siyu, and then I will neglect Siyu." Tang Jingyu was very persistent.
"You guys go out first. I have something to say to my sister alone." Su Zhiyuan's tone became cold.
Aunt Zhang and others hurried out.
"Why do you want to do it?" Tang Jingyu's sneer came from the object.
Siyu outside the door was startled and was about to rush in.
"Sister, you misunderstood. Although I have many women, at least I will give for them. I don't know what the man you liked at the beginning gave for you?"
Tang Jingyu was stunned.
"You have given so much for him and still feel that you love him very much, but he has used you and never thought about you. Does he love you? There are other women outside him. Do you know how he died?"
Tang Jingyu didn't know why Su Zhiyuan suddenly said this, but this did hit her inner pain point. When she heard it behind, she looked at him in disbelief: "Is his death related to you?"
"It was the man I told that woman that he was caught and was soaked in a pig cage!"
Tang Jingyu took two steps back and sat on the chair, looking distraught.
"Sister, if you love someone, you have to pay at least. I will give everything I have for my woman. If Siyu is my woman, no one will bully her unless I die. Is that man worthy of your grief for him now?"
Tang Jingyu cried and shook her head: "Stop talking."
At this time, Siyu pushed open the door and rushed in. Seeing her sister sitting on a chair crying, she thought that someone Su had bullied her, so she immediately pushed him away.
"What are you doing? Why are you bullying my sister?"
