Su Liu was calculating the income and expenses of his recent visit to the house. Hearing the maid say that he was back, he couldn't help but be startled. Didn't he say he was going to Sun Xiucai's house and he was back so soon?
Shuang Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Girl, my wife's face doesn't look very good to me."
After hearing this, Su Liu put down the quill without saying a word, went to bed and put on her shoes, while Shuang Ning cleverly took the cloak aside and put it on her.
"Go and call Ya'er."
Shuang Ning responded and hurried away, while Su Liu and Mance tied the belt of his cloak methodically, thinking about the possibility of Chen's return.
Ya'er came quickly, saluted Su Liu first, then stood aside and waited for questions.
"You followed your wife to the scholar's house, and why did you come back so quickly?" Su Liu looked at Ya'er and asked, "But what happened on the way?"
Ya'er fell to her knees on the ground and said in fear: "I beg you, girl, to punish me."
Su Liu frowned. Sure enough, something happened. He said, "Get up and talk. What happened?"
Ya'er stood up uneasily and mumbled about her meeting with the old lady Zhou. Finally, she lowered her head and said, "It's my slave who failed to protect my wife. Girl, you can scold me."
"You did a good job. Okay, Shuang Ning, you go and send the gift to the scholar's house, and explain it to the scholar's wife. It's just that the wife suddenly feels unwell and can't go." Su Liu first ordered Shuang Ning, and then
He said to Ya'er: "Go down, this is none of your business."
"yes."
After the two maids left, Su Liu straightened his cloak and walked out of the house. After thinking about it, he decided to call for ice tea to find out what happened to Su Changsheng and Zhou after Chen left.
Walking into Mrs. Chen's main room, she was seen sitting on the couch with her chin propped up in a daze, looking a little wilted. Su Liu yelled twice before she came back to her senses.
"Oh, you're here." Mrs. Chen showed a smile.
"Why are you so lost in thought? I already called you twice." Su Liu took off his cloak with a smile and sat down next to her.
"No, just thinking about something."
"Miss the Zhou family?"
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "You know everything?"
"Ya'er told me everything." Su Liu nodded and looked at her again: "You're not hurt anywhere, are you?"
"How can you be so fragile? Your mother has also been doing farm work for decades." Mrs. Chen laughed angrily, took her hand and sighed: "I just thought, how can a person change so much?
Your second mother, you used to be such a strong and lively person, but now, just how long has passed, you have aged so much that you are no different from a village woman."
"Mom, how did she treat you in the past? Do you still sympathize with her?"
"To be honest, no matter how much I hate her, I can't hate her enough. Speaking of which, I do feel some sympathy for her. She has no future, right?" Ms. Chen laughed twice, sighed and said: "Speaking of sympathy
, in fact, when my mother saw her, she saw my mother’s past. How miserable my mother was back then, isn’t she walking the same path as my mother now?”
"How can she compare with you?" Su Liu held her arm affectionately and said: "You have two well-behaved daughters and a sensible son, who can also compete for your reputation and earn wealth. What can she do with you?
What do you think? She is sweet at first and then bitter. She will have a better life in the future. You are suffering after all the bitterness and you will enjoy endless wealth in the future!"
"Poor mouth!" Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and chuckled.
Su Liu chuckled and said, "I'm telling the truth. Didn't she ask for this?"
Mrs. Zhou thought that Su Changsheng was so valuable that she had to fight for it life and death, but she didn't know that it was with their three mothers playing the vanguard that she could live like a noble lady. After their three mothers left, she, as the eldest daughter-in-law,
, it’s not really a wealthy family, and there are groups of servants waiting on her. She doesn’t want to do the housework? Huang was the first one not to let her go!
Now, in this field, although Su Liu planned it first, the Zhou family also pushed hard from behind for selfish reasons, which allowed them to leave the Su family smoothly. To put it bluntly, Zhou family had to move a stone and hit them.
Your feet deserve it!
"It's not easy to be a wife in the old Su family," Mrs. Chen sighed.
Isn't it? Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about Su Fusheng's wife. She was also a very handsome person when she was married. Now she is not doing this and that, and she looks haggard?
Su Jinfeng was better off. With her two sisters-in-law here, her life became more comfortable, and she became more and more lazy. Her whole body had grown a lot.
The mother and daughter talked, and Ice Tea came back soon. They asked about the fight between Su Changsheng and Zhou. When they heard Su Changsheng said that they would carry Chen home in an eight-person sedan,
Chen's expression changed.
Su Liu sneered: "It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat. It eats too many onions and vegetables, so it dares to have wild dreams! What do you mean by being my mother? If you call it, you will come and go! Who are you disgusting!"
"Mom, what's going on? Why did I hear Su Changsheng outside saying that he wanted to marry you again?"
Su Xiao burst in, holding a basket in her hand, which contained many bottles and cans, which she used to store her powder.
"Hey, sister, are you here too?"
"You came just in time to take a look at this man's face." Su Liu snorted and told the story.
"It's not dark yet, and he's already having sweet dreams? He's so bear-like, he doesn't care about anything he wants, and he has such virtues, and he still wants to marry my mother again?" Su Xiao glared: "He can't do anything.
So beautiful, he is so beautiful, he wants to be beautiful!"
"Okay, okay, I've gotten older, but my temper hasn't grown at all. I was right when I said you were going to firecrackers. They'll explode as soon as you hit them." Su Liu comforted him and said, "He just needs to think about it."
,Mom, can you still be stupid?"
Su Xiao looked at Mrs. Chen hurriedly and said, "Mom, don't be stupid. It took a long time to get out of that quagmire. It's not a good thing to fall into it again."
Mrs. Chen finally calmed down and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my mother is doing well now. How could she be stupid? Besides, I have no intention of getting married."
"Mom, you should have the idea of getting married, but you can't marry such a virtuous bastard. I think the head of the Cao family is good. Didn't he save you once? Why don't you just agree to marry me?" Su
The little one said carelessly.
When Mrs. Chen heard this, her face turned red. She grabbed Su Xiao and slapped her butt twice, scolding: "You little girl who is seeking death, who taught you such bastard words? What do girls say?"
Promise me with your body? People will tell you that you are uneducated and vulgar. Let's see who dares to propose marriage to you."
Su Xiao ducked away with a smile and said: "Of course there are people who dare to do so. Didn't there also be people who proposed marriage to you before me?"
"Look, look, she's used to it, she's becoming more and more upright, shameless, and not ashamed." Mrs. Chen clicked her tongue twice and said angrily: "Who do you think you follow this temperament? Ah?
You can say anything and dare to spit it out!"
"Mom is right. You are almost 13 this year. You are a grown-up girl. You can plan well and get engaged. But you can't continue to fool around and say that our family has no tutor." Su Liu
He also gave a lesson, saying: "Reputation is earned by oneself. You should know what you can and cannot say. Don't let others catch you for your poor speech."
Perhaps Su Xiao was not afraid of Mrs. Chen, but as soon as Su Liu's face became serious, she felt frightened, so she ran over and grabbed her arm affectionately, shook her and acted coquettishly: "Sister, I know well, no, my mother is the only one here.
Three? How can I be so shameless outside? I'm not stupid!"
"You! Who said you're not stupid? You're just a stupid girl!" Su Liu pinched her tall little nose and spoke lovingly.
The two sisters burst into laughter. Chen looked on from the side and curled up the corners of her lips. But thinking about what Su Changsheng said outside, she felt like eating a dead fly and felt so sick!
Su Liu saw her at the side and knew that she was upset, so he also talked to her to prevent her from thinking wildly. Su Xiao was also smart and said that he would give the two of them a try with the powder he had just made.
Su Liu unscrewed the cap of the bottle and saw that it contained freshly sifted fine powder. It smelled like rice milk. He knew that Su Xiao had used the most original rice milk to make it. It was not as good as what was sold outside, but it still smelled like rice milk.
Looks pretty good.
After hearing Su Liu's praise, Su Xiaoxiao became more confident and said that she would make more delicate powder in the future so that the whole family would benefit.
After talking for a while, Su Xiao got Su Liu's advice and couldn't wait to run to her workshop to think about her fragrance powders.
"This girl really doesn't have the appearance of a girl. I really don't know who will dare to marry her in the future." Mrs. Chen laughed and cursed.
"Our little one is good-looking and has a dowry. The people who want to propose marriage are from the beginning to the end of the village. Don't worry, mother!" Su Liu chuckled, took a look at her face, and then said
: "Mom, what are you thinking?"
"What do you think?" Chen couldn't react at the moment.
"Master Cao!" Su Liu clicked his tongue. It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is.
Mrs. Chen's face was slightly red. She uncomfortably picked up the sewing basket on the side, lowered her head and said, "What happened to him?"
"Mom, Sister Mingzhu has already written to you. The head of the Cao family also thinks you are very good, and Sister Mingzhu also likes you. If you two can go together, we would all be happy," Su Liu said anxiously.
Chen is only thirty-two years old. In modern terms, it can be said to be the golden age, and life is just beginning. But in ancient times, Chen had at least thirty or forty years to live, and he would be alone all his life.
, it’s just not worth it.
There is a saying that young couples always come to have company. When this person gets old, he wants to have a company. She really can't bear to look at Chen. She deserves good treatment and a good home!
"What nonsense are you talking about? My mother is too old to have such an idea." Mrs. Chen blushed, but her hands didn't move for a long time.
"Mom!" Su Liu was helpless.
"Stop talking about it. Now that I have you two sisters and my son Brother Ye, I will be happy for the rest of my life." Ms. Chen smiled, hesitated and then said: "Besides, how long have you been apart from him?
, let’s just say this, is this a joke? No, no, no.”
Su Liu rolled his eyes and thought, in modern times, there are divorced people here and married people at the other end!
However, she also knew that Mr. Chen was thin-skinned, so she couldn't rush this matter. Being too hasty would only make Mr. Chen disgusted, so she could only take care of it slowly and slowly!
Thinking of this task, Su Liu suddenly felt that there was a long way to go and he wished he could write to Cao Mingzhu immediately to say goodbye. It was so frustrating!
