Li Yuan's carriage was right behind Su Mingshan, so he naturally heard the conversation between her and Jiang Ping'an.
When they were in Lijia'ao, both she and Wang Can noticed that Su Mingshan's attitude towards Su Jin had changed.
It's just that this is a matter between the master and the servant, so it's not easy for them to ask too many questions.
When I heard that she was going to marry off the girl, I was inevitably a little surprised.
Su Mingshan has an open-minded temperament. If she hadn't done something that touched her bottom line, normally she wouldn't have easily dismissed the big girl around her.
Feeling doubtful, Li Yuan got off the carriage before starting her journey and walked towards Su Mingshan's carriage.
When she got into the carriage, she said to Su Jin, "I have something to tell your master. You can take my carriage today."
Su Jin turned to look at her lady, saw her nodding, and then left.
After Li Yuan sat firmly, the carriage began to move.
Li Yuan lowered the curtain and closed the wooden window of the carriage tightly. Before she could speak, she saw Su Mingshan looking at her seriously.
"Sister Li, there is something I want to discuss with you."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Well, you tell me!"
"Originally, I wanted to wait until after the new year to talk about it. Since you are here and it's just the two of us now, I will simply talk to you openly. Sister Li, I want to bring Caiwei to the Su Mansion after the new year."
Li Yuan didn't expect this. Thinking of what Wang Can said, she curiously asked: "Why do you have such an idea?"
In her opinion, Su Mingshan was different from women nowadays and was not someone who would stay in the inner house.
Even if you accept a disciple, you won't have that much time to teach.
She can take Caiwei as her disciple, and perhaps the biggest possibility is that if Caiwei has anything to do in the future, she, as the master, will help a little bit.
But the possibility of being received by the Su family and taught personally is extremely slim!
When she left Li's Ao today, she didn't even give Caiwei any instructions. She just waved to the little girl to tell her not to send her away.
Li Yuan is Caiwei's biological mother, so Su Mingshan has nothing to hide from her. She said bluntly: "Sister Li, do you think Caiwei looks very good?"
Of course Li Yuan knew that if she didn't look good, Liu Dongsheng, the beast in the original book, wouldn't have sold her daughter, and she would have sold her to a place like Hongxiangyuan.
She was obviously only six years old at that time, and because she lived in the Liu family, she didn't have enough food or clothing all year round, so like Qingsha, she was sallow and skinny.
But it was because of her young age that her outstanding appearance could still be seen under such circumstances, which made her fate miserable.
Whether it was Wang Can's previous life or the book after Wang Can's rebirth, she eventually fell into the world of prostitution.
It would be better if she died in a natural disaster next year when she was young.
I'm afraid that she is still alive, but trapped in the world, and will end up living a life with a pair of jade arms and a pillow for thousands of people.
And the final analysis of all this is because she looks good!
When Su Mingshan saw that after she had finished speaking, Li Yuan just nodded without saying a word, so she continued: "Sister Li, Caiwei was born on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, so she will be seven years old when she turns over the new year. Now she has been marked like this. When she is older, , her appearance has completely grown. Do you think you can protect her in the future? I am not maliciously speculating on people's hearts, but there is an old saying, I wonder if Sister Li has heard of it. A beauty is a disaster, and a beauty is a misfortune. I can't protect her at home. Under the premise, outstanding appearance is poison to her."
Li Yuan already understood what Su Mingshan meant. When Wang Can said that he would let Caiwei live in the Su Mansion, he only wanted to avoid worrying about her safety when he fled.
But Su Mingshan, who didn't know about the natural disasters in the coming year, was thinking more long-term.
She is thinking about her child's future, so she brings people with her to plan for her child's future.
"I understand what Sister Su means. Caiwei and I live in Lijia'ao. Unless we don't go out and are not seen by others, the reputation for outstanding appearance will spread farther and farther as we get older. If I want To protect her, you have to deliberately make her look ugly. Just pretending to be ugly for a while will not last forever. She will always tell others in the future that if her husband's family cannot protect her, it will also be a disaster for her husband's family."
Su Mingshan nodded: "Yes, so I want to take her to the Su Mansion starting from the new year. She will live at my place and will not go out easily. In the future, I will personally find my grandma and my wife to teach her. If Sister Li misses her, she can come to her door at any time. In the future, I will also personally choose a husband for her who can protect her. "
After saying that, she promised: "Sister Li, they say that a disciple is half a son. Although I am not married, I really love Caiwei, and I will only be such a disciple in this life. For her, I sincerely think about her. Although businessmen are very profit-oriented, and in order to make a profit, they send money, calligraphy and paintings, and beautiful maids. But don’t worry, I will never do this, and I will not use picking weeds in exchange for anything. If you are not worried, I can use myself I swear by my life."
Li Yuan was a little moved, but she had her own ideas, so she still said: "Sister Su, I know you are doing it for Caiwei's own good. It's just that Li and I haven't returned home long, and I only had Caiwei with me for a few days." Months. And in these few months, I have been away most of the time. I think, wait until she is eight years old. She is still young now, so there is no need to be so anxious. I will ask her after her eighth birthday. If she is willing, then let her come to the Su Mansion. If she is not willing, then we won't mention it. Well, if something happens in the meantime and I can't protect her, is it okay to let her come to you in advance? "
Su Mingshan looked at Li Yuan, thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay, in the next time, don't ask her to go out unless necessary. I will find a female wife to teach her later."
As she said that, she was afraid that Li Yuan would think too much, and added: "Sister Li, I have no intention of competing with you to pick up Wei. I am her master now, and I just want to do my best to protect her."
Li Yuan knew that Su Mingshan's family was engaged in business. She was always out and about and met many people.
The fact that Caiwei attracted so much attention from her at such a young age shows that her worries are not unfounded.
After thinking about it, she asked: "Sister Su, do you know any news? Well, I mean, is there anyone up there who likes beauties?"
Su Mingshan pursed her lips, lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then said: "I don't know who likes beauties above. I only know that Qian Tongpan of our Xinyang Mansion, he will send several coins to the capital every two or three years." A beautiful woman. And these beauties are between twelve and sixteen years old.”
Li Yuan's heart sank when she heard that Xinyang Mansion's general judge sent the beauty to the palace.
The beauty that can be sent up means that the beauty is either raised in his own house or collected from other places.
But if she raised it in her own house, she felt that the possibility was relatively small, otherwise Su Mingshan would not react like she did now, so she searched everywhere.
Su Mingshan was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so she added: "Local officials take a major exam every three years and a small exam every year. This exam refers to evaluation, that is, political performance. These evaluations determine their promotion, appointment, and removal. You Do you know how many years Qian Tongpan has been staying in our Xinyang Mansion?"
