"My nephew has already graduated from the fifth grade. Of course, the eldest brother is a fourth grade and looks down on those who are from the fifth grade. But think about it, how old he is. He is from the fifth grade before he is thirty. His future is limitless.
Ah!" Mrs. Su Er said, "Liu'er is good at everything, but she is careless and not as well-educated as ordinary ladies. Her marriage is not that easy to talk about, right?"
"Who said it's hard to talk about my girl's marriage?" Ms. Xiao said, "It's just that we were spoiled for choice and had to choose the best one."
"Yes, yes, yes, pick a good one, but you still haven't chosen one at this time?" Mrs. Su Er said in a strange tone.
"Second Aunt, my parents have the final say on my marriage, so I don't need to bother you to worry about it." Su Zhiliu walked in from the door.
"Liu'er, your second aunt is also your elder. She has watched you grow up and treats you as her own daughter. This marriage is really good. Although my nephew married someone before, she was not lucky enough to leave a child behind.
Then the son left. If you want to marry him, you can discipline him how you want. Don’t worry about the stepmother not being able to do well."
"Since it's so good, let's leave it to my cousin! You are still from the same clan, and we are more suitable than me."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your cousin is already married." Mrs. Su Er said, "Although he is just a doctor in the household department, he is still young and will have many opportunities for promotion in the future."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Su Sheng: "My brothers and sisters have been talking for a long time, but you should say something! Is it possible that you also want to marry Liu'er to a widower?"
"How is it possible?" Su Sheng said, "Liu'er is my precious daughter. I don't ask her to marry rich and noble, but it is impossible to marry a widower whose wife has died."
"Sister, I think this marriage is quite good." Su Zhihui said softly, "My eldest cousin also has a very good temperament."
The housekeeper walked in and said to Su Sheng and Xiao: "Sir, madam, Mr. Lu Xuan and the official media came to visit."
"Who are you talking about?" Su Sheng was surprised.
"Lord Lu Xuan."
Su Sheng grinned and said to Mrs. Su who was confused: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, we have guests visiting, so we won't receive you."
"This Lord Lu Xuan is the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs. Speaking of which, he is the direct descendant of your nephew." Xiao said, "It is embarrassing to say that he is only in his early twenties this year and has already reached the fourth rank.
It’s not like our family, who fought for so many years and wandered about life and death many times before they got a fourth-grade official title.”
"Okay, what nonsense are you talking about?" Su Sheng scolded, "Master Lu has made great achievements."
"Yes, I am a woman who doesn't understand these things, but even so, I know that promotion is not something you just want to do, you must have ability." Xiao said.
"Why are you so happy, sister-in-law? It's as if Mr. Lu is here to propose marriage." Mrs. Su Er said, "Liu'er is not the only unmarried girl in our house. Even if we propose marriage, we don't know who it is for.
It’s there!”
For example, Mrs. Su Er had two legitimate daughters and three concubines.
Su Sheng's family was thin, with only one daughter. Su Sheng had no concubines, so of course there were no concubines or concubines.
"Yes, let's go and have a look!" Su Sheng said calmly.
The Su family is divided.
The big room and the second room are separated by a courtyard wall, so you have to walk through the front door when moving around.
However, Su Sheng was still very grateful to his brother.
He was fighting outside, and his wife and daughter had no one to take care of him. It was thanks to his younger brother that he survived. It was precisely because of this that he was very tolerant of his sister-in-law.
But no matter how tolerant he was, he would not tolerate her coming to trouble his wife and daughter.
Lu Xuan was drinking tea in the lobby.
When Mr. and Mrs. Su Sheng and Mrs. Su appeared, he stood up.
Su Zhiliu originally wanted to go back to the boudoir, but Su Zhihui held him back.
"Sister, don't you want to know what he is here for?" Su Zhihui said.
"No matter what we do, we shouldn't eavesdrop here." Su Zhiliu said calmly.
"I just want to know if Mr. Lu is here to propose marriage, and if so, who is he proposing to?"
"What is sister Zhihui looking forward to? Could it be that she is expecting him to go to your second room to propose marriage, but he doesn't know the way, so he comes here? I think he is the Minister of Tobe at a young age, so he shouldn't be so stupid, right?"
Su Zhihui was touched.
She pouted and said, "It's not like this has never happened before, wasn't it last time?"
"Last time Mr. Zhang wanted to propose marriage to his sister, but he accidentally broke into our big house. All this was a coincidence. My father has always been generous, but I never like to suffer losses, so I went to find someone to check.
What do you think I found?" Su Zhiliu looked at Su Zhihui sarcastically, "After Mr. Zhang made a joke, his gambling debt was paid off, and I don't know who paid it back. Also,
After that time, people outside spread rumors about how aggressive and rude I was and how I beat up the person who proposed marriage, but those people didn't mention a word about how the person who proposed marriage humiliated me."
"Sister, why are you telling me this?" Su Zhihui said, "I suddenly thought of visiting my grandmother, so I went to pay my respects to my grandmother."
The reason why the second wife is so arrogant is because they have male heirs and Mrs. Su dotes on them.
Although Mrs. Su lives with her first wife, her heart goes to her second husband. Since ancient times, filial piety has been a priority. When Su Sheng was away, Mrs. Xiao was often wronged, so Su Zhiliu developed a manly character.
Whenever she was wearing a sword, even her grandmother would be wary of her and would not dare to mess with Xiao. When she attended various banquets, those so-called ladies would not dare to provoke her.
"Don't worry, don't you want to know what Mr. Lu is here for?" Su Zhiliu pulled Su Zhihui, "Then stay and listen."
In the lobby, the official media had already explained Lu Xuan's intention.
"It stands to reason that elders should come to propose marriage, but General Su knows the situation of my family. I only have my brother and sister-in-law, and my brother and sister-in-law feel that General Su may not be willing to marry his daughter to me. They don't want to let you because of their friendship with General Su.
I'm embarrassed, so I want to confirm the news before visiting."
Lu Yi is now in power, his official position is higher than that of Su Sheng, and he holds an important position like Dali Temple. Most people are really wary of his power, because they don't want this marriage to be criticized.
"I have already felt Mr. Lu's sincerity." Su Sheng said with a smile, "Mr. Lu sincerely wants to marry me, and my daughter is still waiting to be married. We are lucky to have such a good son-in-law as Mr. Lu."
Su Zhiliu leaned close to Su Zhihui's ear and said, "Has Mr. Zhang not appeared for a long time? Does my sister know how he is?"
Su Zhihui trembled in fear.
"I am the daughter of a military commander. My father protects the territory with his blood and sweat. As his daughter, I can't play with those nonsense. However, if someone dares to touch me, I don't mind bleeding him." Su Zhiliu said.
, "Sister, do you remember?"
"Sister, aren't you afraid that civil servants like Mr. Lu will be frightened by this?" Su Zhihui said, "No man likes such a cruel and ruthless woman."
