This is the first time for the six young ladies of the Su family to hear the eldest lady asking them to imitate Su Rong. In the past, the eldest lady would always get angry, scold and jump on her feet, saying, "Don't imitate your sister. She is just a bastard. If it weren't for herself, She was engaged when she was young, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get married when she grew up. This gave her a headache, but now she didn't expect that it would be the other way around.
They didn't speak for a while and looked at the eldest lady with some words.
The eldest lady seemed to have remembered what she had said before. She coughed dryly and hummed to make up for herself, "Now and then, at that time, how did I know that your sister was of high status? She is the princess of Southern Chu, so naturally she doesn't have to If you are too restrained in your temper, otherwise you will be afraid of your own hands and feet, how can you secure your future position?"
The six ladies thought about it and nodded, one of them said: "But Seventh Sister is Seventh Sister, we are us."
The eldest lady disagreed with this, "You don't understand this. Your seventh sister will be the one who can support you in your husband's family in the future. Although she will go to Nanchu in the future, thousands of miles away, who dares to look down upon the crown prince? You are her sisters, and no one dares to look down on you. Also, your eldest brother is also a promising man, and can help you gain power in your parents’ family. In this way, you don’t have to be too restrained. Any time you have to endure humiliation, it is not as satisfying as yourself. After all, one cannot suppress his temper all his life. When choosing a bride, what you choose is that you like me and I like you. Before choosing a bride, let your husband’s family know your temper clearly. Of course, we also need to understand the temperament of a good person. It is best for both parties to open up and truly know each other and know each other without hiding anything. Only by being comfortable with each other and getting along well can you have a good relationship and live a good life together."
When the eldest lady saw the six young ladies nodding, she changed her words and added: "Of course, when I say this, I don't mean that you will completely become a flying kite, floating in the sky at will, and then you can choose a place to land after it has floated enough. I What it means is that it doesn’t have to be too restrictive, rigid and boring, and it won’t be liked by your husband. If the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, it will be useless to win the favor of the parents-in-law.”
The six ladies understood this time and responded in unison, "We understand, listen to mother."
The eldest lady was very satisfied, "Just understand."
Su Rong had already pulled Ye Guixue aside when the eldest lady was preaching to the six young ladies, and whispered to him, "Mom always has a lot of fallacies, but we don't listen."
Ye Guixue looked at her with a smile, "Auntie is praising you."
Su Rong rolled her eyes, "She scolds me the most, and the total height is higher than the soil that builds the city wall. She doesn't praise me much. I only need to listen to one sentence. If she continues to listen, she will lecture me again."
Ye Guixue laughed and said, "Auntie is so frank and forthright, which is very rare."
Su Rong admitted this and muttered in a low voice, "That's right. If I hadn't been reluctant to leave her, I would have run away from home when I was a child."
Ye Guixue saw that her hairpin was a little crooked, so she stretched out her hand to straighten it with a gentle smile.
After the eldest lady finished her sermon, she saw this scene, felt relieved, and waved, "Let's go, let's go."
People who also saw this scene were Zhou Gu and Xie Lin, who were sitting in the tea room on the second floor across the street. Zhou Gu didn't want to leave the house, but Xie Lin pulled him and said that while His Majesty was ill, the case was still pending. Take the opportunity to relax before the results turn everything upside down.
He originally wanted to drag Zhou Gu to drink, but he was afraid of being drunk by Zhou Gu last time, so he simply dragged him to the teahouse. He had already inquired about it, saying that Ye Guixue went to the Xie Mansion in Dongsi Hutong and made an appointment with Mrs. Su and others to go to the West Market. So, he deliberately avoided the teahouse in the West Market and came here. Who It occurred to me that the group of people had actually transferred here from the West Market. It just so happened that the tea room on the second floor could see the group of people below through the window.
There are many people on the street today, but that group of people is really conspicuous. The men are handsome and the women are pretty. The women clustered in the middle are also full of temperament and charm. The little girl holding hands is also made of pink and jade, becoming a sight on the street. Beautiful scenery, they were shopping, but they didn't know how many people were watching them.
Xie Lin looked at it for a while and sighed, "From now on, all the major mansions in Beijing will probably know that the Su family has six golden flowers waiting to be married. When Brother Su is named on the gold list, the threshold of Xie Mansion in Dongsi Alley will probably be closed. It was trampled by the matchmaker.”
Although she is a concubine, who doesn't know that the eldest lady of the Su family treats her concubines very well, and she treats them all as if they were her own children. Look at the clothes of the concubines of the Su family. How can they be inferior to the direct ladies in the capital?
After he finished speaking, when Zhou Gu didn't say anything, he turned around and found that Zhou Gu's eyes were fixed in one place. He followed Zhou Gu's line of sight and saw Ye Guixue and Su Rong standing together. Xue's hand fixed the hairpin on Su Rong's head. Looking from a distance, one of the two men lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, letting Su Rong straighten the hairpin, while the other had a gentle temperament and gentle eyebrows.
He took a deep breath and immediately became silent.
Zhou Gu didn't look back until a group of people passed by.
Xie Lin thought he should say something and apologized to Zhou Gu, "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know we would see them here."
"It's normal, isn't it?" Zhou Gu said softly.
"What?" Xie Lin didn't understand.
Zhou Gu looked away and pursed his lips, "I said it's normal, isn't it? They are engaged now, and Ye Guixue is getting her hairpin straight, isn't it normal?"
Xie Lin nodded, "It's indeed normal."
If he has a fiancée and sees that her hairpin is crooked, he will straighten it for her.
Zhou Gu picked up the tea cup. The bones in his hands were a little green and white due to the exertion. However, he did not crush the tea cup. He just put it to his lips and took a sip to moisten his dry throat. Then he suppressed his emotions and his face turned pale. Say calmly: "I'm not giving up."
Xie Lin knew that he had not given up. That day at the Protector's Mansion, he accompanied Su Rong to review Wangsu. He arrived in a hurry, and with the expression on his face that he was anxious to meet people, he knew that he could not let go.
Zhou Gu put down the tea cup and said, "I have been taught good manners since I was a child. One day I will feed dogs. In this case, shouldn't it be sooner rather than later?"
Xie Lin looked at him, "What do you mean..."
"Ye Guixue is leaving the capital soon." Zhou Gu said.
Xie Lin was puzzled, "So?"
Zhou Gu's eyes were deserted, "So, the results of the scientific examination are about to be released, and I'm about to leave the capital. Maybe I'm still ahead of him."
Xie Lin couldn't understand. He suddenly felt that he was probably not worthy of being brothers with Zhou Gu. His brain couldn't keep up with his thoughts. These few words made him confused. He didn't understand what the relationship between Ye Guixue's departure from the capital and who was before and after him left the capital? Are they going to fight each other on the road?
Not so!
He killed Ye Guixue, Su Rong couldn't draw his sword with him? With Su Rong's temperament, that was even more impossible for him.
