Su Taishou thought to himself that he had actually been worried.
However, in front of his wife, he still wanted to support his daughter, so he quickly finished picking up the letter and gift list, coughed, and pretended to be calm, "I always believe that Xiao Qi can find a good husband."
After all, that face is there.
The eldest lady rolled her eyes, "In high-end mansions, they all pay attention to marrying virtuous wives. Look at your good daughter. How can she be virtuous at all?"
Su Taishou was not too worried about this, "She has a good face, she doesn't need to be virtuous."
The eldest lady was angry, "She is a wife, not a concubine, so why doesn't she need Xian Hui?"
Su Taishou touched his nose and said, "Well, madam, Xiaoqi grew up beside you and you are so virtuous. Maybe she will be equally virtuous when she gets married in the future."
The eldest lady was not angry, "Every time you bring a concubine into the house, I will scratch your face. If this is considered virtuous, then you really understand the meaning of virtuousness."
Su Taishou was embarrassed, "That's not true, but madam, didn't you make a bowl of water even?"
The eldest lady didn't have the energy to argue with this wretched man, "Over the years, I asked you to work hard to climb up, but you didn't work hard, so you have been stuck in such a small shabby place. If you had worked harder earlier, you could have raised the lintel of our house. , do I still need to worry that Xiaoqi will not dare to walk sideways in her husband's house in the future? If Zhou Guruo takes a concubine in the future, will she dare to scratch his face? "
Su Taishou was shocked, as if he had met his wife for the first time, "Um, madam, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Even if I work hard day and night, without eating or drinking, I will never be able to climb up to the level of Protector of the Country until I die. That’s where the house is!”
The implication is, why are you dreaming about spring and autumn? You actually want Xiao Qi to dare to scratch Zhou Gu's face one day? Our family has never had this to rely on in our entire lives.
Protecting the Duke's Mansion is a tribute to the founding of the country, accumulated over three generations.
The eldest lady sighed, "But your good daughter, look at her bad character and bad temper, how can she be someone who can endure injustice? She is in Jiangning because you are the prefect, and she is arrogant. She has to get out, but she will marry into the Duke Protector's Palace in the future. If she still doesn't control her temper and continues to be arrogant, will she get out?"
"This..." Su Taishou also felt a little confused, "Teach her more and let her change her behavior."
The eldest lady snorted, snatched the gift list, and waved to Su Taishou in disgust, "If I could change her temper, she would have changed it long ago. I'll go check the gift list, so get out of here!"
Su Taishou smiled flatteringly, "Madam, I will go with you to check the gift list."
He doesn't plunder the people's wealth and wealth, he only relies on meager production and his own small salary. He has never seen these good things, nor has he thought about them.
The eldest lady was speechless for a while when she saw his behavior, so she could only take him with her.
Wang Ma is the most neat in doing things, so the eldest lady called Wang Ma to check together. He also asked Yuewan to make a copy of the gift list.
Su Taishou was stunned when he saw the gift list, and now that he saw the actual object, he was even more stunned. He kept mumbling, "Oh, this fine rosin inkstone would be wasted for that little thing. She doesn't write often. Also This fine langhao brush would be a waste for her, so she must put it away. And this Xihua rice paper, she doesn't like to draw, so if she is allowed to draw and scribble randomly, it will be a waste..."
The eldest lady saw that he wished he could take it away and put it into her private treasury to cherish it. She didn't look at it and wanted to kick him, "You go away!"
Su Taishou felt aggrieved and said, "Madam, I just want to take a look. I won't take it."
The eldest lady rolled her eyes and told Yuewan, "Yuewan, keep an eye on me. If I sneak along, I will deduct your monthly salary."
Yuewan immediately cheered up, opened his eyes wide, stared at Prefect Su, and said loudly, "Madam, don't worry."
Su Taishou: "..."
He is not a thief.
He turned his head angrily and asked the eldest lady, "Madam, let me ask you, do I still have a status in this family?"
The eldest lady smiled gently at him and said, "Yes, all of us will follow your surname Su."
Su Taishou: "..."
After spending an hour counting the gifts sent by the Protector's Palace, the eldest lady ordered Yuewan, "Go and ask Xiao Qi if she wants to come over and see with her own eyes the gifts sent to her by the Protector's Palace?"
Yuewan had never seen so many good things before, so he happily responded and ran back to the small courtyard.
Su Rong was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.
Yuewan pushed her awake, "Miss, the eldest lady asked you if you would like to go over and see the gifts that the Protector's Palace has given you. There are many, many, a full car and a half, all for you."
Su Rong was in a daze and had little interest. "If you don't want to read it, let mother put it in the warehouse. Just give me the gift list."
Anyway, she wasn't worried that the eldest lady would deduct money from her. Over the years, the eldest lady had helped her save her dowry, fearing that she would spend her money indiscriminately. Indeed, if the eldest lady had not watched and suppressed her, she would have lost the dowry she had saved for many years.
Yuewan was very excited, "There are many, many good things."
Su Rong couldn't open her eyes, and stretched out her hand to pat Yuewan's face accurately, "What are you excited about? In the future, when I marry into the Protector's Palace, won't there be more good things? It's so little now, what does it mean?"
Yuewan immediately calmed down, "What the lady said is true, it's okay if you don't look at it!"
The eldest lady heard Yuewan say that Su Rong didn't want to read it and just took the gift list. She handed the original gift list from the Protector's Palace to Yuewan, leaving only the copy that Yuewan copied and commented, " Such a big-hearted person." He turned to Taishou Su and said, "Imitate your daughter, she is so old, why should she be so excited?"
Su Taishou: "..."
He wouldn't be able to learn this skill even if he was given a hundred years.
He watched helplessly as the eldest lady sealed all the gifts into Su Rong's private treasury and kept the key on himself. He sighed deeply.
Su Rong didn't look at the gift list that Yue Wan took back until she woke up the next day. After she read the long gift list from beginning to end, she thought to herself, the Duke Protector's Palace is really rich.
She heard the noise in front and asked, "What's the noise in front of?"
Yue Wan immediately said: "Madam has ordered people to repair the mansion. Didn't Young Master Zhou come to Jiangning? He said he would come another day, but I don't know which day he will come. Our mansion has not been repaired for many years. Madam said it should be tidied up quickly. Now, Miss, we have been living in this little shabby courtyard. We used to be able to live wherever we wanted, but now Young Master Zhou is here in person. In case Young Master Zhou comes to visit you, he will come to where you live. Well, we can't do anything with our little shabby yard. Doesn't it taint his eyes? Madam asked someone to free up the west courtyard of her yard so that we can live in it. "
"I don't want it." Su Rong objected.
Yue Wan looked at her, "Miss, it will be inconvenient for you to climb over the wall under Madam's nose. But our little shabby courtyard is really not suitable for Young Master Zhou to see. Otherwise, you will think that Master and Madam are like these." I have treated you harshly throughout the years."
"Why does he want to visit my yard?" Su Rong was puzzled. "Does every fiancé have to visit his fiancée's yard when he visits for the first time?"
"Well……"
Yuewan was also asked.
