After everyone drank a cup of sour tea, the eldest lady covered her cheeks and stopped disturbing Su Rong and Duan Hua. She left them alone and led the six ladies out of Su Rong's yard.
After the eldest lady left, Duanhua whispered to Su Rong: "The eldest lady of the Su family is indeed as you said, it's good."
Su Rong looked at her.
Duan Hua added: "And your sisters are all doing well too."
Growing up, she had seen countless sisters in the mansion fight to the death, and a compatriot from the same mother even fought in private over silk flowers and fabrics and red hairpins. She had never seen such harmonious sisters. In particular, this harmony is not pretended. Anyone who looks at it can see that the Su family is in harmony, giving people a feeling of being together and happy.
Su Rong nodded, "So?"
Duan Hua sighed, "So, it would be great if my mother gave me a bunch of sisters like this."
Su Rong was relieved, thinking that she had some evil intentions towards his eldest brother and wanted to join the Su family. It wasn't that she was unwilling to have her as his sister-in-law, it was just that she was too squeamish and was not someone who could take care of others at all. Finding a sister-in-law is different from finding a sister. Although Su Xingze has a headache with her sister's strict discipline, she still hopes that his elder brother will not work so hard and marry someone who is gentle, considerate and caring.
Besides, even if his brother is capable, if the princess marries, it will be a high price. It's better for two people to live a good life.
She sighed melancholy, so realistic, she was really a good daughter raised by the eldest lady. From what the eldest lady just said, we knew that she didn’t want her son to reach high places either.
"Why are you sighing? Do you think my mother is too old to bear children for me?" Duan Hua glared.
"No." Su Rong shook her head, "I just feel that it is too late for your mother to give birth now. After all, you are already so old. Isn't raising younger siblings the same as raising a son?"
Duan Hua was speechless and sighed melancholy.
Su Rong yawned, "Are you leaving? If not, why don't you continue to sleep in bed?"
The corners of Duan Hua's mouth twitched, "I'm leaving."
She doesn't want to sleep with her anymore, and sleep like a pig again. She is a weakling, and it doesn't matter if she eats and sleeps, but she can't do that. She has to digest food and stay slim.
So, she stood up and said, "Then I'll come back to you tomorrow."
Su Rong waved to her, "My mother was originally going to your house to meet the princess tomorrow, but it is said that the results will be released tomorrow, so we have to postpone going to your house. My eldest brother must have done well in the exam, so you can come and join in the fun tomorrow. OK."
Duan Hua slapped her forehead, "Yes, the results will be released tomorrow, and your mother won't be free." She nodded happily, "Then I'll come back tomorrow, and I'll leave. You can go to sleep!"
After she finished speaking, she left happily without any delay.
Su Rong lay back on the bed and fell asleep again.
The eldest lady changed her clothes and planned to stay with Duanhua for dinner. She planned to cook the food herself and let her taste it as a way of showing hospitality. Unexpectedly, before preparations began, someone reported that Princess Duanhua had left.
The eldest lady looked at the sky and went to Su Rong's yard.
Su Rong was sleeping in a daze, and was woken up by the eldest lady, "Didn't you say that you slept for half a day? Why did you fall asleep again? I have never seen you come to Kwai Shui so seriously in the past. What happened this time? Why is it serious?"
Su Rong opened her eyes drowsily, "I don't know. It's probably because Jiangning County is warm. It's not cold in winter, but it's very cold in the capital."
Although the difference is only a thousand miles, the climate is very different.
The eldest lady thought it was reasonable, reached out to touch her hand, and frowned, "It's so cold."
She turned around and ordered someone to get two more Tangbaozi, then took off her shoes, got on the bed, and got into the same bed with Su Rong.
Su Rong: "..."
She doesn't want to sleep with her, is it too late to refuse now?
The eldest lady looked at her expression and said angrily: "I'm just going to talk to you for a while. I'm tired. You can't let me sit down and talk. You have to let me rest. What's your expression? Don't worry, I'll be there tonight I won’t sleep with you.”
Su Rong was immediately relieved, "Just tell me!"
The eldest lady snorted, "I don't know what to do with you, a girl, so that Zhou Gu can't let you go? Guess what I heard from the Duke's wife today? Zhou Gu actually plans to give up the care he has taken since he was a child. The Duke and Dong Palace have paved the way for him to follow you to Nanchu."
Su Rong's face was solemn, he sat up and looked at the eldest lady, "Did the Duke and Madam say it herself?"
The eldest lady indeed looked tired. Seeing Su Rong sitting up in such excitement, she lay still and said to her: "Although the Duke's wife didn't say it clearly, I can hear it. He said that since you broke off the engagement, Zhou Gu struggled in pain for so long, knowing that he couldn't do anything, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. As a mother, she looked uncomfortable. I said that you are the princess of Nanchu and want to go to Nanchu. She said that although Nanchu is far away, it is not far away. It's a month's journey, and it's not like going to heaven or earth. As long as her son wants to, she will support him."
Su Rong frowned.
The eldest lady looked at her and said: "She is also a hard-working person. When the Duke died for the country, he went resolutely knowing that he was going to die. She knew she couldn't stop her, so she didn't stop her. But over the years, she often regretted it and felt that if Stop her, in case, even if she can't stop her, at least she won't regret that she didn't say a few soft words to her husband before he left, or leave a message. At that time, the battlefield was so urgent that the Duke didn't even write a suicide note. Stay. Now she says that for her son, as long as it is what his heart desires, she will risk her face even if there is no good result in the end, but as a mother, she will do what she should do for him. "
"Hey, it's a pity for a pair of lovers separated by yin and yang. It's pitiful for parents in the world to love their children so much." The eldest lady sighed, "I just thought, if my son is trapped by love, I'm afraid he will be like her. She is a protector of the country. The wife of the Duke of the country, the wife of the clan, and the middle minister in charge of a large family. She has always been a rational person. She must have never done anything out of line since she was a child. It is very rare for her to be so shameless now. She Unlike me, I come from a small family, so what does it mean to risk my face for my son? But I really admire her for being able to do this for her son. After all, there are not many noble ladies in the major mansions in Beijing. I can pull off this face. The more noble the ladies of the mansion are, the more they take their face seriously."
Su Rong was silent, but her brows were furrowed tightly.
The eldest lady said: "So, I guess Zhou Gu has plans to go to Nanchu. Otherwise, you are the princess of Nanchu and have already decided to go to Nanchu. He is a young master of the Duke Protector's Palace and an assistant minister of the future emperor. If If I don’t want to give up on my own path, how can I marry you and follow the same path with you?”
Su Rong's face turned ugly, "So, what do you mean, Mrs. Duke? Do you want you to persuade me?"
The eldest lady shook her head, "The Duke's wife didn't say that. She only told me that she knows the second young master of the Ye Prime Minister's Mansion very well. As an elder, I will definitely like him very much when I meet him. No elder would not like him." She likes it. But she asked me to leave some room for him, not for anything else, just because Zhou Gu was clearly not happy with your marriage before he met you, but after he went to Jiangning County, he really I consider myself a mother-in-law-to-be."
Su Rong stopped talking.
The eldest lady looked at her and said, "That's all I've said to you. Because of the Duke's wife's love for her son, and because it concerns you, after careful consideration, I feel that you should still know these words. After all, You treat Zhou Gu... Well, when you let go and broke off the engagement, it wasn't because he was a bad person. But Zhou Gu still can't let go of you now. If you two look at it this way, the entanglement will continue for a while. I I'm afraid it will affect your future, so I let you know earlier so that you know how to deal with it."
Su Rong was silent.
The eldest lady reached out and patted her hand, and said sleepily: "Okay, I'm done, you can go back to sleep!"
Su Rong thought to herself that after you said such things to me, I would be really heartless if I could continue to sleep.
