182. Chapter 182 Thirty-two Years Young Marry a Wife 1
Three days later, Su Yin, Wang Shu and others quietly left Beijing without seeing Yuan Wenxuan again.
It was half a month after I returned to the Su Mansion. It was the eve of the New Year's Eve. Red lanterns were hung high in front of the Su Mansion, and the house was newly decorated, making it quite festive.
The servants swept water, dusted, cleaned horned spider webs, cleared ditches, changed sheets and bedding, and prepared a large number of New Year's goods in the kitchen. Steaming hot steam mixed with the aroma of meat wafted out of the kitchen, creating a New Year scene.
But the lady's courtyard seemed extremely cold.
Wang Sumei was still bedridden for more than a month, but her illness became more and more serious. The eldest young master Su Jianye also became more and more lethargic, and he lay on the bed in a drowsy state all day long. Due to poor diagnosis and treatment, Wang Sumei ordered the doctor who had been taking care of Su Yin to be replaced.
But he could only change Su Jianye's dressing regularly every day.
As for the second young master, Su Chengcheng, he seems to have lost his sense of belonging in the mansion. He spends all day drinking and having fun while staying in the gentle countryside, drunk and dreaming.
The entire Su Mansion was controlled both inside and outside by the second wife, Zhao Huimin, while her natal brother was away helping to manage the food shop. Even the job of transporting food was taken over by her natal brother because Wang Shu was not in Qingbei.
On the night when Su Yin and others returned to the mansion, it was reported that Zhao Huimin had returned to her parents' home, and Wang Fu was temporarily in charge of the mansion.
Wang Fu helped Su Yin and Wang Shu meet up, but the latter declined the banquet because he was in a hurry to go home to be with his wife and children. He only glanced at his sister Wang Sumei before leaving.
"Young Master, the Second Madam has found a match for the Second Young Master. She is a concubine from the newly appointed Yamen Palace." After everyone left, Wang Fu whispered beside Su Yin.
Su Yin was startled when he heard this, "The eldest young master hasn't married yet, and the young and old should be in order. Why are you talking about marriage for the second young master first?"
Today's etiquette attaches great importance to the order of elders and younger ones. If the eldest son or eldest daughter in the family has not yet been engaged, the following young masters and ladies cannot be engaged first. Of course, Su Yin is an exception. After all, she has never had a status in the Su family before.
Li Xiu'e thought it was given to her by the ladies to solve troubles.
But this is just an engagement. The real marriage can only happen after the brothers get married after they reach adulthood.
As for Su Wenting, because the daughter's family is different from the boy's family, and she is the only eldest daughter in the Su family, it is normal to get engaged first. If Su Wenting has a younger sister, naturally she cannot get engaged or get married in front of her sister.
Wang Fu sighed, "The Second Madam said that the eldest young master is now disabled and no young lady is willing to marry him. The second young master is already of the right age to get married. If he doesn't get engaged, he will be laughed at. That's why..."
After saying this, Wang Fu looked slumped. Now the situation in the Su family has really changed. Misfortune struck without warning. The eldest young master who supported the Su family suddenly became disabled. The second young master only knew how to live and drink all day long, but he didn't know about accounting and shops.
Operation.
The eldest lady is seriously ill because of the eldest young master's incident. Now she is sick from hard work and feels miserable every day. If she continues like this, her life will be in danger.
The Su Mansion suddenly became the possession of the Second Madam. During the time when the young master was away, the Second Madam’s natal brother actually extended his hand to the entire Su Mansion accountant. He reviewed everything and then reported to the Second Madam. This
The matter has already been approved by the Second Madam.
If this continues, home won’t feel like home!
Su Yin frowned, "The engagement has been arranged? What did the second young master say?"
"The second lady called the second young master to the room and talked for a long time, and she had already reached an agreement." Wang Fu sighed.
