Chen Yu held Li Sizhong up with both hands, but she couldn't help him up even though she used her strength. She couldn't help but frown: "Get up and talk. It's about Yun Niang. You can't just kneel down."
"Sizhong knew that asking to marry Yun Niang would be criticized by the world, but things in the world are unpredictable. At first, he only wanted to protect her, thinking that his adopted sister would be more able to comfort his mother's grief for losing her daughter. Now Sizhong is not begging for marriage on his knees, but
I want to talk to my aunt about what's on my mind." Li Sizhong lowered his head slightly, his voice sincere.
Chen Yu sighed: "It's the same when you get up and say it. Get up and sit down and say it."
Li Sizhong did not dare to kneel anymore, stood up and sat on the chair next to him: "Aunt, Sizhong's temperament is not gentle enough, and he was also worried that Yun Niang would be uncomfortable, so he sent away two nominal concubines early. If he had not left Qingqing this time,
In Niu County, Si Zhong would never dare to come to ask for marriage."
Chen Yu nodded.
"Although my mother is not a gentle person, she loves Yun Niang very much. She has mentioned it to Sizhong many times. However, Yun Niang is a person whom Sizhong loves and respects. She dare not speak easily for fear that she will do it again and again.
If we avoid talking about it for three reasons, in the end it will be hard to even have a relationship between brother and sister." Li Sizhong shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. There were some things that he couldn't tell Chen Yu in detail. He had been really suffering for more than a year.
Chen Yu looked at Li Sizhong: "Do you think that if you go to Lecheng Mansion and stay away from Qingniu County, you will lose the ability to talk to others?"
"This is just one of them. Auntie, Yun Niang has a strong temper. Sihai Restaurant is very good at running the restaurant. She is also quick and cheerful. She is never confused when doing things. Such a girl has no worries about not having a good match. Si Zhong is afraid of losing the one he likes. If Auntie
As promised, Si Zhong would let Yun Niang live as freely as she did in the Su family. Yu Lian liked Yun Niang and they got along very well. Yu Dong and Yu Liang were still young. Although Yun Niang was not their biological mother, Yang En was better than her.
You have to be kind and loyal, and you can be loyal without distinguishing between concubines and concubines. Yun Niang is the wife, and the only difference in the birth of children is the order of teeth."
Obviously, Li Sizhong had figured everything out.
Chen Yu lowered his eyelids: "Have Si Zhong ever thought about whether Yun Niang's temperament would be appropriate for her to be a stepmother?"
"Auntie, when Yudong and Yuliang were sick, Yun Niang guarded them without taking off her clothes. Si Zhong believed that Yun Niang was an excellent person. Moreover, husband and wife are one, and raising children is not Yun Niang's job alone. Si Zhong believed that Yun Niang was a good person.
I have to do my duty for my father, now and in the future. If I miss Yun Niang, Sizhong will never have a good relationship for the rest of his life." Li Sizhong nervously clenched his hands into fists and placed them on his knees, and took a deep breath:
"Sizhong will not take Yun Niang away quietly, he must let Yun Niang marry in glory."
From being a fourth-rank official wife, this is a status that many people flock to.
As long as Li Sizhong is willing, many girls who have not yet left the court will happily get married.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word about Yun Niang's past, but Chen Yu knew that Yun Niang's marriage was an embarrassing matter that was neither high nor low. If not, it would be most likely to end up alone. The man in this world would be happy with you.
, Everyother's oath, when you are disgusted, it is easier to talk about love than to cover up your shoes. Talking about love is just a matter of morning and evening.
But Li Sizhong didn't say a word of nonsense, every word was genuine and his sincerity was evident.
Marriage in ancient times cannot hide from family background. As the saying goes, the Su family's family background is worthy of Li Sizhong, and will be Yun Niang's most powerful support in the future.
"What if I don't agree?" Chen Yu asked.
Li Sizhong lowered his head, blushed, and whispered: "Na Sizhong didn't dare to marry by force, so he waited silently. If Yun Niang doesn't marry, I won't marry her. If Yun Niang does marry, I won't marry her either. She can live happily until I see her.
I am happy, but if life becomes uncomfortable, as long as I live, I will protect her."
Chen Yu: “……!!!!”
"Why did you fall in love with Yun Niang?" Chen Yu looked at Li Sizhong helplessly.
Li Sizhong didn't dare to raise his head: "I'm afraid she won't have a good life around others. She has suffered so much."
"You put it that way, it seems that I have no reason not to agree." Chen Yu had a smile in his eyes.
Li Sizhong suddenly raised his head and quickly stood up and knelt down: "Thank you, Auntie Chengquan. After Sizhong went to Lecheng Mansion to take up his post and settled down, he came to ask for his hand in marriage."
"Get up." Chen Yu helped Li Sizhong get up: "If one day, you change your original intention, remember to send my Yun Niang back in all parts. Not to mention that I am here, she is a treasure.
Even without me as my mother, the brothers and sisters of the Su family all regard her as a treasure."
Li Sizhong lowered his head: "It is a great blessing for Sizhong to have Yun Niang accompany him for the rest of his life. He dare not forget it, and he cannot forget it. Auntie, rest assured that Sizhong is not a frivolous person, and he will give you a thousand pieces of gold."
The matter was finally discussed. Chen Yu knew that Li Sizhong would talk about Yun Niang when he came to visit, but to his surprise, he kept his attitude so low.
If a man is willing to bow his head for you, it must be that in his heart, you are more important than himself. Yun Niang met Li Sizhong, and it was a good match.
As for the future, or even life, no one can predict it. They can only speculate. Chen Yu is more willing to believe that these two people will become a married couple who will grow old together.
Li Sizhong was not in a hurry to leave, and Chen Yu did not mention Yun Niang's problem. Instead, he took Li Sizhong to see how corn was processed and eaten.
Peel off the skin and grind it into powder. There are many ways to eat cornmeal. It tastes much better than sorghum. Peel off the skin and embryo, break the kernels into ballast, cook the large kernels into porridge with beans, and the small kernels into porridge with sugar. There are various ways to eat it.
After that, Chen Yu asked Zheng Yue'e to make a table full of various ways to eat corn.
Li Sizhong and Su Sanlang went to the study room. They discussed for a long time before he said goodbye and left.
When I got home, I immediately wrote a memorial. After I finished writing the memorial, I didn't rush to submit it. Instead, I wrote another letter. This letter was quickly sent to the Jiang family by people close to me.
Here, Su Sanlang sat next to Chen Yu: "Sizhong said that the two roads should be taken together. The Jiang family should take the queen's path first, and let the queen make arrangements before submitting the memorial. It may take a little longer.
."
Chen Yu raised the corners of her lips and said, people who can become officials are not simple. Li Sizhong found the key to the problem very accurately. The Queen and the Jiang family, the court and the emperor, if anyone really wants to interfere with it, what else can they do?
It depends on the relationship between the emperor and the empress.
As for the time it takes, there is no problem at all. After all, if you really have to use corn to pay taxes, that will only happen next year. The taxes needed this year are enough.
"Sanlang, what do you think about Li Sizhong and Yun Niang?" Chen Yu asked.
Su Sanlang smiled: "Mom, at first it was just a tiger skin to make a banner of a godly relationship. This is not how a true godly relationship is. There are many rules."
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows: "What else are there to say?"
"That's right, I didn't choose an auspicious day, prayed to God, or held a banquet. Anyway, there were a lot of things I didn't do. Besides, the Li family just wanted to protect Yun Niang at the beginning. Now that Li Sizhong and Yun Niang are in love, my son thinks it is a good thing.
"Su Sanlang said.
Chen Yu rolled his eyes: "If you agree, just say you agree. Why do you say so much? Go back to study, I'm tired."
"Yes, son, resign." Su Sanlang left Chen Yu with a smile. When he went back to the study, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. What can be done? If one day Yun Niang is criticized, these rules for recognizing a close relative are
The amulet that protects Yun Niang.
In the dead of night, a man and a woman quietly entered Sujiazhuang and arrived at the door of Su's house. The man was stunned and looked at the grand door in front of him in disbelief. When he was hesitant, the little woman next to him pushed him.
: "Knock on the door quickly, I want to see my sister."
Knock, knock, knock, there was a knock on the door. Su Sanlang, who was studying, raised his head and looked outside, then stood up: "Liangxiu, they are here."
