A night rain quietly entered autumn, the wind beat on the branches, and the raindrops rustled.
A chill passed through the hall, causing Qiu Ju, the maid of the Su Mansion, to shiver, rub her hands and stamp her feet.
"The day is going to change. I have to remind the lady to put on more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
She walked quickly to a side room, and before she entered, she heard coughs coming from inside.
"Miss, are you awake?"
"Well, come in."
As soon as Qiu Ju entered, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. The fragrance that lingered in the room seemed to come alive, and could penetrate every pore of a person, enticing her.
The hanging curtain was opened by a plain hand. The fingers were thin and long, like jade bones, and the fingertips were a little pink, like buds on a branch, delicate and delicate.
Just by looking at this hand, you can imagine how beautiful the owner of the jade hand is.
"Miss, are you coughing again?"
Qiu Ju shook her head, poured a cup of hot water and walked to the bed, "Drink some hot water to warm your stomach."
Su Dai sat up, her head covered with green hair like a waterfall.
In this world, Su Dai's health is not very good, and because of the mistake of the light group, she was only fourteen years old when she came here. The Su family is a famous family in Yuncheng, and it is a scholarly family, so naturally the family is also
The old feudal stuff is indispensable.
The background of this world is similar to the Republic of China that Su Dai knows, but there are twists and turns in some of the history that impressed her deeply. For example, the last imperial country, because the emperor was cruel and unkind, aroused public anger, leading to people who were dissatisfied with the emperor's exclusive power.
They launched an uprising and knocked the emperor off his throne in one fell swoop.
After the first president took office, he did many great things that benefited the country and the people, and the country became stronger and stronger.
Talents are emerging in large numbers. There is no such thing as an international yet, but once a country becomes strong, no foreign enemies will dare to invade it.
However, this peace only lasted for a short thirty years. Later, due to the death of the first president, the succeeding president was very ambitious. War broke out frequently in these years, and the warlords from all sides had long complained. Those who were capable,
Nature is not willing to be subordinate to others, and rights have always existed.
However, Su Dai didn't care much about these things, because she almost died again when she was pushed into curling due to internal struggles in the winter.
It took Su Dai the next six years to firmly control the entire Su family's power in her own hands and take over the Su family's outside business. She only lived a comfortable life for a few days.
Su Dai let Qiu Ju help her wash up, thinking about what she heard yesterday.
As the eldest daughter of the Su family, she is already twenty and has reached the age where she can talk about marriage.
The suitor almost crossed the threshold of the Su family, but Su Dai never let go, and no one in the Su family dared to force her. However, Master Su has been in poor health recently, and he may not be able to live well for a few days.
Before he died, he hoped to see Su Dai marry a good family.
Otherwise, once he dies, according to the rules, Su Dai will have to observe mourning for him for three years, which will delay her flowering period.
After washing herself, Su Dai put on a gray-green cheongsam. Before going out, Qiu Ju put a cashmere coat on her from the closet, "Miss, it's getting cold outside, so be careful of catching a cold."
As soon as Su Dai went out, she saw the withered autumn leaves all over the yard.
She said in a calm tone, "I have people sweep the yard. It's an eyesore to me."
Qiu Ju quickly responded.
She stood behind Miss Su and felt that her lady was really like a fairy. She had a graceful figure. She didn't twist her waist or hips deliberately when she walked, but she could still make people see a hint of sensation in her.
The ladies in the family prefer western clothes. Only Su Dai loves cheongsam, and there is not a single dress in the cabinet. When several young ladies saw her like this, they imitated her for a while, wearing brightly colored cheongsams and twisting their waists and hips, but they did not imitate
That cold and seductive aura is like a prostitute in a bar, extremely kitsch.
Qiu Ju thought, she didn't know what kind of person was worthy of her young lady.
When Su Dai arrived at the dining room, everyone was already there.
I glanced around and found that Mr. Su was not there.
Also, he is now so ill that he can't get up, and he relies on the medicine prescribed by the doctor to survive.
Waiting for his most promising eldest daughter to get married.
Mr. Su is not a good husband. In addition to his wife, he also raised five aunts and wives throughout his life. Today there are only three left alive. Apart from the youngest, the fifth aunt, the remaining eldest aunt and third aunt gave birth to three daughters to the Su family respectively.
, a son.
Everyone here eats like they are having a meeting.
No one who can survive in this back house is easy to get along with.
In addition to Mr. Su's first wife, Su Dai's biological mother - Mrs. Zhao.
To be honest, Su Dai had no feelings for her. After all, she was a master who didn't dare to make trouble even after her own daughter was killed, for fear that Mr. Su would be angry. To put it mildly, it was cowardly, and to put it ugly, then, that
Just extremely selfish!
In her eyes, the only thing she cares about is whether she is living a good life and whether she will make her husband disgusted. Nothing else can come into her eyes anymore.
Mrs. Zhao was wiping tears from being squeezed, but her eyes lit up when she saw Su Dai.
He stood up suddenly, aggrieved, and softly called out: "Jiaojiao, you are here."
When the others heard this, they also saw the person walking on the bluestone with sharp eyes.
The third aunt couldn't help but curl her lips. She really doubted how the Zhao family gave birth to such a monster as Su Dai. Such a weak woman gave birth to a child who was so smart that he was almost a monster. He was young, but his methods were extremely vicious.
In the past, they often used their status as elders to take advantage of each other verbally, but the results were disastrous. This little girl was polite on the surface, but in the blink of an eye, they were in trouble.
Now that several years have passed, no matter how dissatisfied they are, now that they see her coming, they all become more honest.
The ladies and gentlemen of the Su family also stood up one after another and said respectfully: "Good morning, eldest sister."
"Well, everyone, please sit down."
Su Dai walked over.
Mrs. Zhao said earnestly: "Jiaojiao, come and sit next to mother."
Su Dai got a headache when she heard this title. It was her nickname, and she thought it was too coquettish and intimate.
Especially being called out from Zhao's mouth.
Su Dai did not refuse her, walked over and sat down, her tone still calm: "Let's have dinner."
It is clear that Mrs. Zhao is the nominal mistress of the family, but now, they only dare to use chopsticks when Su Dai arrives.
After breakfast, Su Dai put down her chopsticks, Qiu Ju immediately handed over a handkerchief, and Su Dai wiped her hands.
Seeing her getting up to leave, the aunt quickly called her to stop her.
With a smile on her face, she said, "Miss, are you going to the shop? Your brother is on vacation from school today, and he is also interested in doing business. He tortures me every day, asking me to beg you and take him outside to gain experience.
, Miss, do you think you can take him to see the world? I beg you as my aunt."
Su Dai looked at the fifteen-year-old boy next to her.
Su Ze was frightened when he saw his eldest sister's light eyes, and stood up quickly, feeling uneasy, "Eldest sister——"
