696. Chapter 696 Punishment and grounding——Design to escape 05
Su Mo hummed: "The monks and sisters-in-law in the temple are all controlled by secular people who ask for money to beg for alms. Why do they get close to each other when they pay for sesame oil when they have more money, but pout and disdain when they give away little money? Why do they also gather money to buy fields?
If you can avoid taxes and servitude in this way, why should you deceive some ignorant people into doing rough work like little apprentices?"
"You, this is called quibbling."
Su Xiner was so angry that she stamped her feet, turned around, threw down the curtain and went out to complain to the old lady.
The old lady was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch outside talking to Mrs. Wang. She ignored Su Xiner's nonsense and asked her to play wherever she pleased.
Mrs. Wang glared at Su Xiner, "If you don't want to play by yourself, don't disturb your grandmother."
Su Xiner ran away in anger.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Mom, we are not young anymore, it's time to get engaged. I have thought of a few families and let you know."
The old lady squinted her eyes, as if she was dozing off, and nodded.
Mrs. Wang then mentioned five or six families, including the head of the old county Wang family, the second daughter of Duke Song's family, the daughter of Marquis Xu's family, and Zhao Shangshu...
The old lady seemed to be asleep, but she could still hear her say, "Marrying high and marrying low, let the county master forget it. Besides, Chi'er is only seventeen, and the marriage must be over twenty."
Seeing that the old lady wanted to suppress it, Mrs. Wang became anxious and said, "Mom, we have to get engaged now."
The old lady said: "Let me tell you, 90% of the time, you are a good match. Don't ask for too much. He is the prince's companion, so you can make your own future. Don't ask for help from your wife's family."
After hearing what she meant, Mrs. Wang actually wanted to abandon the Song family and look for someone else. This was not possible.
She smiled and said: "Mom, what the imperial concubine means..."
The old lady frowned and said in a nonchalant manner: "The imperial concubine still cares about our Chi'er's marriage? This is inappropriate both emotionally and rationally."
One sentence stopped Mrs. Wang back.
Mrs. Wang's face suddenly turned blue and red.
The last time we talked about the eldest lady and the prince, the old lady said that there was an eldest brother in the family.
Now when I told her about the eldest young master’s marriage, she said she was still young.
It's really annoying.
She was angry, and when she saw Su Mo sneaking out quietly, she immediately scolded: "What are you doing sneakily?"
