Su Jian knew in his heart that he could not make the decision on his own marriage. He wanted to marry a lady who would be helpful to the family and well-matched. Likewise, he would also be able to support the family of Jinning Palace in the future. The matron's duchess.
Therefore, in these years, he would not set his sights on any girl. Whoever he married in the future, he would just like her and love her.
As the legitimate son of our noble family, he always has to pay something to enjoy this glory and wealth.
Marriage is one of them.
His marriage is also one of the most valuable things in the family. It is best for the family and future generations to marry a well-matched wife.
Su Wan said: "The Li family wants Cousin Li to make a good marriage arrangement at home."
Su Jian frowned slightly, it was easy to agree on a marriage. With so many people coming and going in Jinning Palace, there would always be one or two suitable ones, but something was wrong with the Li family targeting him.
No matter what he does, it is impossible for him to marry a daughter of the Li family.
Su Wan said: "Brother, don't worry, my father must have noticed it too, and he will discuss this matter with my mother."
Su Xun originally knew that Mr. Li invited Su Jian over for dinner, but didn't take it seriously. However, at the dinner table, he vaguely noticed the thoughts of Mr. Li and the Li family, so when Su Jian asked to leave , and asked him to leave quickly.
Su Jian nodded: "I hope so."
Although his third uncle has not been involved in official circles, he is indeed the smartest and most discerning person of his father's generation, so he can naturally understand the truth behind this.
With a family background like the Li family, a little help is all it takes, no more.
Su Jian sent Su Wan to the gate of Wanyuan, watched her enter with his own eyes, and then turned and left.
In Yuhua Garden, after Su Jian and Su Wan left, Su Xun also left. Seeing that Su Jian was not here, Li Yuyan quickly made an excuse to go back to clean up, and took Cha'er to say goodbye and return to Qingyou Garden.
Su Luo felt a little sleepy after eating. Mrs. Li sent her to the neighboring courtyard and coaxed her to take a bath and lie down to rest before returning.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter and did not arrange a special yard for her. She lived in the small courtyard of Yuhuayuan. She only had to go through a door to reach Yuhuayuan.
Su Xun was waiting for Mrs. Li in the room. Mrs. Li felt something in her heart. She had already stepped on the steps of the main hall. She wanted to take it back and turned around to leave.
"stop!"
Li's breath froze, and then she stood there not daring to move. She tightened the handkerchief, her eyes averted, and she felt very uneasy when she heard the footsteps behind her.
Su Xun walked out of the house. At this time, he was wearing a blue gown and stepping on a pair of wooden clogs. The wooden clogs made a clicking sound when he stepped on the ground.
He stood on the steps under the eaves, looking down at Mr. Li at the bottom of the steps, his eyebrows furrowed: "Where are you going?!"
Mrs. Li did not dare to look back, feeling a little scared in her heart. She reluctantly opened her mouth and found her voice: "I, I have been tired for a long day today. I want to order someone to run water to wash my hair. Third Master, have you washed yourself?!" "
Su Xun was still holding a book in his hand, but he smiled when he heard this: "Do you think I've washed it?!"
I don't know how to answer this, so Li was at a loss.
Su Xun said, "Come in with me. I have something to tell you."
Li was a little reluctant at first, but she did not dare to go against Su Xun's words, so she could only turn around and saw Su Xun walking inside, so she could only follow him slowly.
Su Xun sat down on a chair. The candlelight in the room was flickering. He tapped his thigh lightly with the book in his hand. When he saw Mrs. Li walking in behind him, there was wind blowing outside the window, and she hit him. Shivering.
Su Xun said: "Tell me."
"Third Master, Third Master, what do you want me to say?!"
Su Xun glanced at her, and his sharp gaze directly met her eyes. Li was startled, took a step back, and reached out to cover her chest.
"Third Master, I, I don't know what the Third Master asked me to say?!" She lowered her head in fear as she spoke.
The couple Su Xun and Li are usually very harmonious, but if something happens, Li is a little afraid of Su Xun. Just like now, when he looks at her like this, she can't stop looking at her. I didn't even dare to raise my head.
Su Xun smiled: "You don't know what to say? Why don't I let you recall it?"
Li pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak. She didn't dare to admit it. She naturally knew that it was wrong to covet the eldest grandson of the family, but she, she just...
Su Xun said: "Ms. Li, do you think I'm blind and can't see what you are planning? I thought you were confused when you went to A Wan's house before and didn't care about it. But what are you doing now? !”
"Do you want to recommend your niece to Ajian?!"
Mrs. Li was struck by what she said, and she panicked. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
Su Xun looked at Mr. Li with a somewhat disappointed look. Mr. Li was originally a businessman, and he focused too much on immediate interests. As a woman, his horizons were not broad. He had raised her in the backyard for these years, and her thoughts were shallow.
Su Xun sighed, looked at her and said, "Do you think that if A Jian falls in love with your niece, your niece can marry him?! How stupid!"
Mrs. Li's breath was stagnant when he scolded her, and then she heard him say: "The person Su Jian wants to marry must be a noble girl who can bring benefits to the family and can also support the family to become a duchess in the future. We are the direct descendants of the family." Women are beyond words."
"Your niece is nothing more than a noble concubine even after entering the house."
Ms. Li was unwilling to listen to this. She said angrily: "Daughter of a noble family, how can our Yuyan be worse than a noble daughter of a noble family? She is gentle, virtuous and considerate. Besides, the Li family is not too bad." , why not?!"
Su Xun sneered: "When you say this, think about it in your mind. Do you believe it? It's just some self-deception. Maybe you still don't understand in your heart. What the Su family wants is someone who can help each other. She is the daughter of a high-ranking noble, and the Li family is just a businessman who can barely stand on its own feet relying on the Su family!"
"It's not that I look down on the Li family, but you should be aware of yourself. There are many considerate people in the world, and there are many people in the imperial city who are richer than the Li family. Do you think that the Li family's daughter is considerate? The people's will is great, and it is enough to be worthy of the emperor, grandson, and nobles."
Of course it's impossible.
Mr. Li kept silent.
Su Xun said: "I think you are not awake yet. If so, we will send someone to send your niece back tomorrow. Our house will not accept guests with ulterior motives like this."
"No!" How could the Li family agree? If Li Yuyan stayed in the Jinning Palace, even if she could not become a Su Jian, she could still find a better marriage. If she returned to the Li family, she would only marry the same person as them. Business people.
The Li family already has wealth, and now they want to rely on power and want their daughter to marry into a powerful family.
"I disagree."
