Lin Guan'er did indeed go to Mrs. Su to complain, but she never thought that when Mrs. Su heard that Lin Guan'er had gone to Su Xubai's yard, her face suddenly changed: "Who asked you to go to Lao Wu's yard!"
Lin Guan'er was speechless for a while, and then said after a long time: "I haven't seen Brother Xu Bai for a long time, so I wanted to go see her. Unexpectedly, Cheng Chun scolded me for no reason, and also said that I couldn't get married.
Old girl!"
Mrs. Su frowned slightly: "Are you saying that Lao Wu's concubine from the country scolded you?"
"Yes, later on I still pretended to be pitiful in front of Brother Xubai. Brother Xubai didn't discriminate between good and bad, so he talked me out of it!" Lin Guan'er said and felt aggrieved.
Mrs. Su glanced at Aunt Kong next to her, her expression flickering between bright and dark, and she said after a long while: "I know, I will send someone to teach her a lesson, and so will you. You can go to my brother's yard at will."
, when word spreads, your reputation will not be good!"
Lin Guan'er pouted: "I just stopped by to take a look, I promise there won't be a next time!"
After coaxing Lin Guan'er away, Mrs. Su only felt a headache: "Qingcha, you said in Wu'er's courtyard, do you dare to do this to my guest?"
"Let me tell you, it's probably because my cousin went to find Cheng Xiaoniang and happened to be seen by the fifth master. I never like my cousin. I'm afraid that if I say something unpleasant, my cousin won't be able to get off the stage, so I came here.
Let’s talk!” Aunt Kong said helplessly, “This cousin is the same. What’s the way to go? Our yard is in the east and the fifth master’s yard is in the south. How can we go by the way?”
"I know what she is thinking!" Mrs. Su let out a long sigh, "It's just that she has really spoiled my sister. She is so unruly and willful that she cannot bear to be a matron!"
Seeing the embarrassment on Mrs. Su's face, Grandma Kong said: "Since Madam thinks so, just reject her. The Fifth Master has never liked my cousin. If this is a forced marriage, a pair of resentful couples will inevitably end up.
The girl is the madam’s niece, but the fifth master is the madam’s biological son!”
"How could I not know this truth? It's just that my sister entrusted her to me and asked me to find a marriage for her. Isn't it Lao Wu's plan?" Mrs. Su held her forehead and felt a headache growing more. "
If Lao Wu hadn't been unwilling, the current dynasty's Tan Hua Lang would have been able to marry even the princess!"
"Now that things have come to this, Madam can only worry more about choosing a young master among the powerful people in the capital for my cousin!" Mother Kong walked to Madam Su and gently squeezed her shoulders, "I want to
My slave said, our cousin is really arrogant, otherwise she wouldn’t have reached this age!”
"Who says it's not the case!" Mrs. Su's face was full of helplessness, "I'm not as good as that mud-legged guy from the country in Chengchun!"
Aunt Kong smiled and said: "Although Cheng Xiaoniang comes from the countryside, with her appearance and figure, there are not many people in the capital who are better than her. I think the Fifth Master was also fascinated by her appearance."
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to do such stupid things!”
Mrs. Su thought of Cheng Chun's charming face: "Who says it's not true? I originally thought of finding some trouble for Cheng Chun to prevent her from becoming arrogant, but as soon as I saw that face, I couldn't be cruel.
His hands are so soft and tender, and he knows how to judge the situation, so he can't be too fierce!"
The strength in Aunt Kong's hand increased slightly. She thought of Cheng Chun and said with a smile: "Who says it's not the case? The ones in the prince's house don't look as good as her, their bodies are not as good as hers, and their bearings are not as good as hers. It's still not the case.
Make something happen!"
"Yes, it's just a pity that he came from the countryside!" Mrs. Su thought, and shook her head with some pity.
It was quite strange that Mrs. Su did not listen to Lin Guan'er's words and go make trouble. Even Su Xubai found it a bit incredible.
Su Xubai, who was in the study, had waited for a long time before Mrs. Su went to ask for help. When she heard Shilan said that Mrs. Su had taken Lin Guan'er to have tea, she felt relieved.
"Why, are you afraid that your mother will cause trouble for that little girl of yours?" Xu Ziqing looked at Su Xubai who suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What are you, a manly man, doing asking about what's going on in other people's yards?" Su Xubai said as a chess piece fell, "You lose!"
Xu Ziqing glanced at the expectation in front of him and sighed: "I am indeed not as good as you when it comes to playing chess!"
"You came here just to play chess with me and listen to what's going on in my house, right?" Su Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Then I'm not such a boring person!" Xu Ziqing put down the chess piece in his hand and looked back, "I heard that you came back with the prince!"
"how?"
"Aren't you afraid that the Prime Minister will cause trouble for you?" Xu Ziqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "You know that she has been wooing you, but you still come back with the prince. You are really not afraid of trouble!"
But Su Xubai was not at all panicked: "I don't have an official position, so I can get close to whoever I want, no matter what his business is!"
Xu Ziqing laughed: "That's right, don't worry about him! He's quite magnanimous. He's the son of the Marquis of Wuchang! A tiger father has no dog son!"
"No, what exactly do you want to say?" Su Xubai always had something to say, so it was inevitable that he was a little confused.
"Su Xubai, do you know what your weakness is?" Xu Ziqing suddenly said seriously.
Su Xubai didn't speak, just looked at Xu Ziqing.
"People who walk in the world are most afraid of having a weakness. If there is a weakness, they will hesitate and be timid!" Xu Ziqing said to himself, "You might as well guess how many people there are in the capital.
I want to see how beautiful this concubine is that the dignified concubine is willing to bring back even at the risk of his reputation!"
Su Xubai's face suddenly changed.
"This person is most afraid of having weaknesses, and also most afraid of not having weaknesses. Men are either power, money, or beauty!" Xu Ziqing stood up slowly, "Su Xubai, deep love will inevitably harm others and yourself!"
Xu Ziqing walked to the desk and took out the landscape picture on top. What was placed underneath was a picture of a lady.
Su Xubai stood up suddenly. He watched Xu Ziqing pick up the picture of the lady, his eyes bright or dark.
"This is your weakness, it's a weakness that I know, do you think others know it?" Xu Ziqing said, putting the scroll of pictures of ladies aside, "There are some things that you have to make a choice, at least for you now.
, no one can protect it!"
Su Xubai's face gradually turned ugly.
When Xu Ziqing left, he passed by Su Xubai and patted him on the shoulder: "How can we be so in love when we are still young?"
