"Grandpa." Su Rui stepped into the study and saw Taifu Su still lying on the couch by the window with his eyes closed and meditating as usual.
She hurriedly walked over and closed one of the windows that had been fully open. Although it was not cold in the study even if the window was open, there would be wind blowing in. Grandpa had to be more careful as he was old.
Taifu Su opened his eyes, looked at his granddaughter, and said with a smile: "Arui, do you know why General Luo came to visit today?"
Su Rui walked to Taifu Su and squatted down, bit her lip and said, "Is it for Ari?"
Taifu Su raised his hand and touched his granddaughter's head and said, "You are always smart. Has that boy from the Luo family seen you? What did he say to you?"
Su Rui raised her head in surprise and said, "How does grandfather know what Mr. Luo said to me?"
Taifu Su snorted lightly and sat up a little.
Su Rui also quickly stood up, took a pillow from one side and put it on her grandfather's back.
Taifu Su said slowly: "If this were not the case, why did Madam Luo and General Luo come to visit us one after another in the past two days? I remember telling that boy before that my family will not decide your marriage for you in the past two years. What? Ari?
Are you attracted to that boy?"
Su Rui's face was slightly red, but she did not tell her grandfather the content of her conversation with Luo Jinyan. Instead, she said softly: "The eldest son of the Luo family came to see me a few days ago. I was... a little surprised and couldn't make up my mind for a moment, so I
I didn’t tell my grandfather.”
Taifu Su looked at his granddaughter, his gray eyebrows raised, "After the New Year, that kid will leave for the south soon, and he won't come back for at least a few years. Are you willing to go south with him? Huaizhou
Near Barbarian Fang, the climate, terrain, and customs are completely different from those of Shangyong. Can you endure this hardship?"
Su Rui said: "A Rui has often thought about this issue in the past few days. Mr. Luo is very good-looking, and he is the first-class noble man in the capital. Looking at the unmarried noble sons of Shang Yong, I am afraid no one can compare with him. Ah
Rui is afraid that she is not worthy of Mr. Luo."
Taifu Su looked at his granddaughter's pretty face, which was slightly red, and her eyes that were lowered with a bit of shyness, and he knew clearly in his heart: his granddaughter was not opposed to this marriage.
"Nonsense, how could our Ari not be worthy of anyone?" There was a smile in the old eyes. Although he promised his granddaughter not to talk about marriage in the past two years, the girl would still get married after all.
If the marriage can be decided early, he can rest assured, right?
What's more, the future grandson-in-law is still such an excellent candidate.
Taifu Su looked at the girl in front of him again and again, "You said before that you have no connection with the eldest son of the Luo family, but now you agree to his proposal after just meeting him once. Have you really seriously considered it?"
Su Rui knew that she could not deceive her grandfather, so she just said with a smile: "Mr. Luo is the future husband that everyone expects of the ladies of Shangyong. The Luo family's temperament and character are also excellent. What else am I dissatisfied with?"
Is it possible? My granddaughter was unwilling to talk about marriage before, just because she didn't have a suitable candidate, and she didn't want to settle in a hurry just because I broke off the engagement. People like Mr. Luo can't be said to be settled in any case, right? In addition,
...Although the south is poorer and more difficult than Yong's wealth, my granddaughter is not afraid of hard work. Grandfather, can't you trust me?"
Taifu Su thought about it carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong with Su Rui's remarks.
How many girls could refuse a husband like Luo Jinyan? Ari had never thought about this before, just because she didn't think her marriage would have anything to do with the Luo family. Naturally, she didn't think too much about it.
When a girl's family chooses a husband, isn't it based on ability, conduct, appearance, and character? Luo Jinyan is impeccable in every aspect.
As for feelings, Taifu Su and everyone in the world have the same ideas.
No one would think that an unmarried couple can have such a deep relationship before marriage. Husband and wife are a lifelong thing, and feelings are gradually generated in a long life, right? Even some couples don't have much love in their lives.
, but family affection is always there, haven’t the days passed?
As for the boss of the Luo family falling in love with his granddaughter, is it any wonder that Ari is so outstanding that someone fell in love with her at first sight?
You will have to endure some hardships if you go to the south, but Taifu Su believes that his girls are not immune to hardships. With the character of the young master of the Luo family, he will only respect his wife more and more after sharing the joys and sorrows with her.
Taifu Su nodded and said: "Grandpa knows, you can go back. Talk to your mother about preparing a dowry for you...Forget it, it's better for grandpa to talk to your parents in person about this matter."
Su Rui felt her cheeks feel a little hot. After all, it was about her marriage. Su Rui, like all women, felt shy.
Taifu Su said: "Although it has not yet been announced that the eldest son of the Luo family will be appointed governor of Huaining, he will definitely set off after the spring at the latest. The regent has made up his mind on this matter and there is no way to change it. He will wait for the Queen Mother's announcement.
After the hundred-day mourning period, it happens to be the beginning of March. Since our family has agreed to the Luo family's marriage, I'm afraid the wedding will have to be a bit hasty, and you will be somewhat aggrieved."
Su Rui shook her head and said, "Grandpa said something serious, Ari doesn't feel aggrieved."
Taifu Su nodded, feeling a little emotional for a moment, "A Rui is getting married too."
Su Rui squatted beside the recliner and said softly: "Grandpa, don't worry, A Rui will be fine."
"well."
Everyone in the Su family was also very surprised when they heard that Taifu Su was going to agree to the Luo family's marriage proposal.
It's not that there is anything wrong with marrying the Luo family, but Taifu Su had previously hinted that he didn't want to talk about Su Rui's marriage in the past two years. Su Rui's parents knew better. After all, Mrs. Luo had come to visit twice, but their family
It was somewhat beyond their expectations that their father agreed so quickly.
Mrs. Su is mainly worried about her daughter.
If her daughter could marry the eldest son of the Luo family, Mrs. Su would naturally be full of joy.
But now that her daughter will leave Shangyong for the border as soon as she gets married, how can Mrs. Su not worry? When Mrs. Luo came to visit before, she did not say in detail where Luo Jinyan was going or what position she would be in, but the eldest son Luo could not go to some prosperous and wealthy place.
Become a resident general.
The other girls in the Su family were also envious of Su Rui, but the Su family's first daughter was extremely well-educated. Even though they were envious, no one was too jealous. Only two older cousins walked over and whispered congratulations to Su Rui.
Su Rui suddenly felt that her cheeks, which had been slightly cool, began to feel a little warm again.
At this moment, looking at my parents, uncles, brothers and sisters sitting in the flower hall, I really felt like I was about to leave this place.
She had always been looking forward to leaving Shangyong, but now when she looked at the family sitting in front of her and her cousin who was still holding her hand, she felt a little reluctant to leave.
Taifu Su informed everyone of his decision and asked the younger generation to retire first, leaving only a few sons and a few direct grandchildren to talk.
"The matter is settled like this. I have personally seen that young man from the Luo family. His character, talent and appearance are both first-class. General Luo also said that his family is sincerely seeking to marry him. If it weren't for the eldest son of the Luo family,
Maybe he will be transferred from outside, but he won't come to the door in such a hurry."
"The eldest son of the Luo family wants to be transferred out?" A middle-aged man in his early forties said with some surprise, "This eldest son Luo is the direct brother-in-law of the regent. Looking at the previous momentum, I thought he was going to stay in the capital and be re-employed. Mr. Luo
He is a military commander, don't he have to go back to the border again? Ari is born delicate, can he bear it? "
The middle-aged man is the second son of Taifu Su and the second uncle of Su Rui.
Taifu Su glanced at him and said: "What does it have to do with whether you stay in Beijing or not and whether you are reused? This is the regent's business, let's just leave it alone. As for things after marriage, boss, what do you and your wife say?"
The eldest man of the Su family looked at his father, then at his wife, and hesitated before saying: "Of course what my father likes is good. I'm only worried about Ari..."
"Arui, you don't have to worry. Since you and your wife have no objections, I will send a message to the Luo family later so that they can come and propose marriage."
Mrs. Su nodded and looked at her father-in-law who hesitated to speak.
Taifu Su sighed and said: "Since you are worried about Ari, you should pay more attention to the dowry. This wedding is a bit urgent, but our family cannot let Ari suffer and make others laugh."
Taifu Su thought for a moment and said, "I remember... your mother has some properties in Qingzhou?"
Mrs. Su nodded quickly and said: "Yes, they are all mother's dowry." After Mrs. Su passed away, these properties were naturally left to her sons. However, Qingzhou is far away, so they can only let people take care of it, and they have not yet done so in person.
I went to see it. If I said it was sold and it was left by my mother, she was reluctant to part with it. Mrs. Su’s natal family was also there, so it wouldn’t be right to sell it.
Taifu Su thought for a while and said, "Then exchange all the property to give Ari as dowry, pay from the public or exchange it with other property."
Naturally, Dafang has no objections. Let alone changing it, it is appropriate to give it directly to his daughter.
I don't have any objections to the other two properties. Those properties are too far away. I can't bear to sell them and I can't take care of them. It's really embarrassing.
The second master said: "Our second wife owns five shops and a village in Qingzhou. Why don't we give them all to Ari, and just treat them as makeup given by uncle?"
Mrs. Su quickly said: "Absolutely not, where can you add makeup like this?"
The second master smiled nonchalantly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Unlike us in Qingzhou, these shops in Qingzhou are not worth much."
The third master also nodded in agreement.
"Father, is it possible that the eldest son of the Luo family is going to Qingzhou? There is nothing to go to there?" the second master said with some confusion.
The regent's brother-in-law will definitely not be left idle, but Gyeongju is nowhere to be found, and I really don't see the value of Mr. Luo going there.
Taifu Su glanced at his son and said, "Don't make blind guesses. These are the things. It is indeed a bit urgent. I have been working hard during this period."
Everyone claimed that it was so. Taifu Su looked at his sons and grandsons in front of him and nodded happily.
Although none of his sons in this generation are outstanding, they are all of good character and have no evil intentions, which is enough.
The Su family will have to look after their descendants in the future.
