"Okay, I agree to break off the engagement."
Hei Si, who was originally regarded as an invisible person, also looked at Yu Zheng. Didn't he say that Miss Su was his future sister-in-law? This boy gave up so easily?
Seeing that Yu Zheng agreed, the family of three breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"The meal has been eaten. Let's take our leave first. Mr. Ping, thank you very much for today."
"Miss Su is too polite. It's just a little effort."
Su Yu knew that the person she wanted to thank was Yu Zheng, but she refused to thank him. Who let the Zhang family have anything to do with him. And today's meal. Crabs and shrimps are very rare this season. She doesn't know how they are raised. Anyway, she knows that the hairy crabs she just ate cost one or two silver each, and the shrimps cost several dollars. Two pounds.
When all the Su family members left, Ping Si looked at Yu Zheng.
"Is the marriage really called off?"
"If you withdraw, you can no longer come to ask for marriage."
Pingsi couldn't help but raise his hand and patted Yu Zheng on the shoulder.
"According to me, if you come to ask for something, Uncle Su will probably kick you out with a stick."
Yu Zheng also had a headache. He knew that the Su family had always been indifferent to him and never regarded him as one of their own. Yu Zheng also had a guess in his heart. Maybe it was the contract he had with Su Yu that was to blame, but it was too late to regret it now. , I had to think of a remedy.
Su Yu looked happy when she came out of the restaurant. She had lost a big burden. She would have nothing to do with Yu Zheng from now on. The couple are also happy today. According to their daughter's age, it is time to talk about getting married. They have to search hard to find a suitable son-in-law. The couple had forgotten about Su Sheng again. In terms of age, Su Sheng was five years older than Su Yu. Su Sheng was almost 20 years old.
What happened just now, although the matter was somehow solved later, the couple really had no intention of going shopping. There were many officials in Kyoto, and they, the common people, really couldn't afford to offend them. Fortunately, my daughter had the foresight to not live in the city with her son.
They had just been wandering around for a while when they encountered this incident. They had to live in the city every day from now on, wouldn't they just be angry? That was still the way people lived.
Su Yu didn't think about the past as long as he had passed. He forced the couple to buy some fabrics before returning to Jinjiacun. He couldn't eat if he choked, and he wouldn't eat in the future.
As soon as the family of three arrived at the door of the house, Erhu ran out to greet them. Su Yu was so angry this time that he ignored Erhu until now. Seeing that his master ignored him, Erhu shrugged his head and sat there aggrievedly. Su Laoer and his wife couldn't talk about their daughter, so they could only treat it as if they couldn't see it. Erhu felt even more aggrieved when no one paid attention to him. This family No one cares about it.
Su Yu ignored him, but Erhu's food was much better than before. Every meal had big bones to chew on. Pregnant women must eat better, so that their babies will be healthy in the future.
Mrs. Zhang returned to the house, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Ping Si was not usually a nosy person, so why did he come to take care of this matter today? Looking at the woman's appearance, she guessed which family's daughter she was. , but then she didn't even think about it. She almost knew that there was no such famous person in the city.
"The surname is Su, Miss Su."
Mrs. Zhang kept chanting the word "Miss Su" in her mouth. As she was chanting, she suddenly remembered that Ping Si usually preferred to be with that boy Yu Zheng. If that woman had nothing to do with Ping Si, then she was related to Yu Zheng.
"The surname is Su, Miss Su."
Mrs. Zhang slapped her palm on the table.
"I know who it is!"
Zhang Yan was still having sweet dreams in her heart, thinking about what she saw with Ping Si today, when her mother slapped her palm on the table, scaring her so much that she quickly covered her chest.
"Mom, what are you doing? You scared me to death!"
"Yan'er, do I know who that Miss Su is?"
When it comes to Su Yu, Zhang Yan is also very angry. She has never been so idle except in front of those young ladies from aristocratic families. And the way Hei Si looked today, he was clearly interested in that village girl. Even if he couldn't marry someone into his family as his wife, he could marry someone back as his concubine. How could this work?
Ever since Zhang Yan fell in love with Ping Si, she has assumed the role of Mrs. Ping. She insulted the women who appeared around Ping Si with lower status than her, while for those with higher status, Zhang Yan pretended to follow her. She narrows her presence like a quail to prevent the other party from knowing that she likes Ping Si and making things difficult for her. It is obvious that she is a bully.
"Tell me, mother, who is that Miss Su?"
"If my guess is correct, that girl Su should be Yu Zheng's fiancée. She is dressed like a village girl, which is consistent with the rumors."
Zhang Yan made a move with his hands. Yu Zheng was her cheap cousin, but luckily, that woman had nothing to do with Ping Si.
"Yan'er, stay well in the house, I have to go see your aunt."
"Mom, go ahead."
Zhang Yan doesn't like to go to Yu Mansion. There are no girls in Yu Mansion. Every time Zhang Yan goes there, it's very boring. As time goes by, she doesn't like to go there. Anyway, her aunt is a concubine, and her father is not from the same mother. It's just so-so to her.
In the Yu Mansion, Mrs. Zhang was surprised when she heard a servant come to report that Mrs. Zhang was here. Why did her sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, come over?
Zhang was still thinking about it, but Li had already been taken to the main courtyard by the maid.
"Sister-in-law, did something happen at home? Why are you here today?"
"What could happen at home? I just haven't seen you for a long time and wanted to come over and talk to you."
Mrs. Zhang didn't believe it at all. The last time Brother Cheng was beaten, her sister-in-law came to the house once. Why didn't she see her for a long time?
Li talked a lot of nonsense about the popular jewelry styles in the capital, but Zhang didn't point it out and chatted with her. When the time was almost up, Li changed the topic and talked about Yu Zheng.
"Sister, Brother Zheng is twenty this year, right?"
"I'll be twenty-one after this year."
"Time flies so fast. I remember that when you first arrived in Yu Mansion, he was still a five-year-old baby. I didn't expect that so many years would pass by in such a flash."
Mrs. Zhang lowered her head to drink tea and said nothing, and did not answer Ms. Li's words. Ms. Li also knew that her sister-in-law was most taboo about saying Yu Zheng's words, so she stopped talking nonsense.
"Today when I accompanied Yan'er to the cloth store to buy materials, I met a girl. Her accent was from Beidi, and I heard Ping Si call her Miss Su."
After Mrs. Li said these words, she picked up a piece of plum blossom cake with two fingers and put it in her mouth and ate it slowly.
After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but think too much. Miss Su, whom Pingsi knew from the North, was quite similar to Miss Su from Yujia Village, but why didn't she know that she had come to Kyoto? But then she thought about the people she sent to Yujia Village. Ever since Yu Zheng came to Kyoto to prepare for the exam, that family had been betrayed by her. She really didn't know what was happening in Yujia Village now.
