Chapter 154 I Can't Eat Hot Tofu

Chang's echoed: "That's very true. Even if Qiyuyuan doesn't use so much, can it be used elsewhere? The Su family is so big that it has a lot of places to employ people. In the future, it will still be brought Some people go to their husband’s house, right? It’s rare for them to be so loyal, so it’s better to come back as soon as possible, and still have some rules.”

Huang looked at them, but thought: "Didn't the Zhang family come to propose a marriage? How is it?"

Mrs. Xu snorted, said "don't mention it", and then told the whole story.Huang pondered and said: "Speaking of it, elder brother's attitude on this matter always seems a bit awkward. Although he was not close to my sister, he was never extra harsh. Why would he put such a good name on the table for the sake of a clean reputation?" Why don't people get married?"

Chang also said, "Exactly. Does Second Brother have any other concerns?"

Mrs. Xu sighed, and it was hard to say too much in front of Su Wei, so she just said: "You should have learned more about his temper than I do. How do you know what kind of horn he is?"

Huang sighed: "It's such a pity for this marriage."

Chang asked: "Has the Zhang family ever been unhappy?"

"Then maybe not." Xu Shi said, "I asked someone to match their horoscopes, and it is true that my sister and the two sons of the Zhang family do not match their horoscopes at all times."

The bigger the family, the more taboo it is to have a conflict with each other. With such reasons, it is impossible for the Zhang family to be unhappy.

"By the way," after some regrets, Chang suddenly remembered, "Didn't you just talk about the Song family's birthday banquet? How? How do we give gifts?"

The birthday of the old lady of the Song family must be a big deal for such a well-mannered family like them. Originally, this matter had little to do with the Su family, but now the old lady’s uncle, Mr. Song, is teaching in the Su family. How can I not give it as a gift?Not only must it be sent, but it must also be sent in a serious manner.

"Send it to each room separately." Xu said, "It looks solemn. It seems a bit difficult to send it together." After she finished speaking, she turned to Su Wei and said, "This time you and Brother Qi have to go, both for the sake of the master. , you have to show the respect of the apprentice's family."

Su Wei nodded: "The next morning, I'll pack up and go with my wife and aunts."

It was agreed here that just as it was said earlier that Su Shou was back, they broke up.

Mrs. Xu acted resolutely, and after lunch, she sent Wu Chun, the housekeeper, to the Zhuangzi to spread the message, leaving the old Wu and his wife to wait for a few elderly people, and the rest of the servants who had followed Mrs. Xie were brought back.

In the afternoon, the seven of them entered the mansion in two donkey carts. Because Wu Sheng drove a good cart, he was arranged to be a coachman in the front yard.Hu Kui, who followed the Xie family out in the rain that day, arranged to walk around in the front yard. One of the other two servants went to the garden, and the other went to one of the Xie family's dowry shops to be the second shopkeeper.Yin Lan and Hu Kui's wife, Cai Ling, who went with them, returned to Su Luo's side with Bao Nanny.

As soon as the three of them stepped into Qiyuyuan, they felt relaxed. Yinlan and Cailing used to be maidservants, and now they are married. Su Wei arranged for them to take care of food and female red needlework. The work they are good at, after being ordered, the two immediately put down their burdens, rolled up their sleeves and went to work as errands.

The last time when Su Wei went to Zhuangzi, she only saw Yinlan and Cailing, but she hurried back and forth and did not see Madam Bao.

Nanny Bao is only in her early fifties, with a thin body and good spirits, and her eyes are very sharp. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Fusang and the others spread the cold tea in front of Su Luo. wardrobe, and nodded in approval until he found nothing wrong after looking through it.

Madam Bao is Xie's wet nurse. When she entered Xie's house, there was no one in her hometown. Her son, Bao You, was the one who had been assigned to be the second shopkeeper in Xie's dowry shop. He followed the Xie family through the Su family with his son.From the beginning to the end, she really treated Mrs. Xie as her own. Later, when she had Su Luo and Su Qi, she also took care of her with the same care.

In the words of Fusang and the others, by Mammy Bao's side, Su Wei's demeanor became much more lively.

Su Qi also came over after finishing her homework, acting coquettishly and foolishly in front of Nanny Bao, the laughter and laughter in Qiyu Garden this day seemed to be back in the past.

At night, it is unavoidable to sit under the lamp and talk about the progress of Xie's case.

Su Wei explained the situation, and Madam Bao sighed: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I have waited for three years, so why be in a hurry? Let's take it slowly."

After finishing speaking, she grabbed the needle in her hand and rubbed it on her scalp, then lowered her head and continued to put the soles of Su Wei's shoes.

Su Wei saw the particularly deep wrinkles on her forehead under the light, and suddenly fell into silence.

Because of a father like Su Shou, she originally planned to give herself a year to investigate the case. When the case came to light and the murderer was brought to justice, she would leave the Su family and go to the south to develop her own business like in her previous life.

But right now, she suddenly thought, after she left, what would Nanny Bao and the others who were devoted to her do?

Even if she wanted to bring them with her, she couldn't take such a large group of people away from the Su family smoothly.What's more, it is doomed that she will not be able to do it with great fanfare when she leaves the Su family.

Although Su Qi was also their master, even if he wanted to stay, he would only keep men like Wu Sheng and Liu Kui.He couldn't accept maids like Nanny Bao and Cailing Yinlan, so he could only arrange them to work elsewhere.

Although the Su family is not a mean family, with a mistress like Xu, they will definitely be able to live a good life in the future.But for them who have become a family, what better than getting together with their original master?
