With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 2 The Su Family
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Su family's mansion.

Before Su Junning got out of the car, she heard her mother's voice.

"Ning'er!" Cui's excited voice carried a hint of crying.

Su Yi stepped forward to support his wife, "Ma'am, don't worry, the carriage hasn't stopped yet."

And Su Junning in the car was also excited, quickly got out of the car, and threw herself into Cui Shi's arms.

"Mother, my daughter misses you so much!"

After not seeing her daughter for a year and a half, Cui is already choked up.

"Mother also misses Ning'er, please show mother whether she has grown taller or thinner." Then she looked Su Junning up and down carefully, and then sighed, "I've grown into a big girl." .”

Thinking of not being able to be with her daughter for more than a year, Cui's eyes were once again red-eyed.

Su Yi next to him was also very happy to see his little daughter.

But as a man, he still needs to be more reserved in expressing his emotions.

He only smiled and patted Su Junning's head, "Ning'er has grown a lot taller, almost catching up with Zhiyi, do you miss Dad?"

"Thinking about it, it's hard to sleep or eat, I'm hungry and thin!" Su Jun Ning took her father's arm and acted like a baby.

Su Yi just liked the ghostly appearance of his little daughter, and his smile became even bigger for a while.

With a wave of his big hand, he said, "Then hurry up and eat. Today, I specially asked the dining room to cook your favorite dishes. You must eat more!"

"Yeah!" Su Junning nodded with a smile, and then greeted the brothers and sisters next to her, "Big Brother, Third Brother, Second Sister, let's go in quickly."

After speaking, he took his parents' arms from left to right and entered the gate of the house.

Second Miss Su Zhiyi looked at Su Junning's back, her eyes flickered, and then she followed with a cold face.

Seeing his younger sister's displeased look, the eldest son Su Yuxuan also sighed, and then greeted the youngest Su Yu'an, and the two brothers followed suit.

A lunch that was cleansed from the wind and dust was exhausted happily.

Then everyone sat and drank tea in the flower hall, and Su Junning called Nan Xu to bring out all the gifts she had prepared for her family.

What Su Yi was given was an authentic landscape painting by a famous artist.

Su Yi is a civil servant, and he loves books, calligraphy and paintings the most. This gift is very suitable for him. He immediately fell in love with the paintings from his youngest daughter.

Afterwards, Su Junning gave Cui a set of hairstyles that are popular in Lin'an.

As a gift from my daughter, naturally everything is good, and Cui Shi also smiled a lot.

Immediately afterwards, Su Junning took out a pair of high-quality glazed vases and ordered Nanxu to deliver them to Su Zhiyi.

"This is for Second Sister. I saw that Second Sister liked it when I was in Lin'an, so I bought it for Second Sister."

When Su Zhiyi saw the vase in front of him, a gleam of brilliance overflowed in his eyes, but she immediately suppressed it.

With a calm face, he said, "I don't like it too much, it's rare that my fourth sister still remembers it, thank you."

Su Yuzhen, who was at the side, couldn't stand his sister's indifference, so he made a sound to smooth things over.

"Zhiyi has always liked porcelain. This vase is exquisite in style and bright in color. I like it just by looking at it."

Su Yu'an also hurriedly followed, "Yes, Second Sister and Fourth Sister have good eyesight."

The third child is the only concubine in the family, unlike the eldest son Su Yuzhen, he speaks more like two bowls of water are on the same level, and neither side can be offended.

"Eldest brother and third brother have both, don't be greedy."

Su Junning smiled and took out all the things they had given them.

With this enthusiastic appearance, it seems that he doesn't care at all about Su Zhiyi's deliberate neglect just now.

Su Yuzhen and Su Yu'an accepted the gift, and both smiled and thanked them.

After sitting in the front hall for half an hour, everyone dispersed.

Su Junning held her mother's arm, and the mother and daughter went to the Cangyu Pavilion where she lived affectionately.

"It's all arranged according to your favorite appearance. The utensils in the house have been replaced with new ones. It's just that I haven't made new clothes for you yet, but the cloth is all bought. I'm just waiting for the measurement. I will invite someone to come to the house some other day." Come on." Cui said with a soft smile.

She gave birth to such a daughter, who is more precious than anything else.

Su Junning pulled her mother to sit down, "It doesn't matter, I just worry about how my mother has been over the past year, I see you have lost weight."

"You are alone in Lin'an, why doesn't mother miss you." Cui sighed, reaching out to touch her face, "Bianjing has just settled down, and your father and I don't want you to be alone in Lin'an, and are worried about picking you up." It's not good to come back."

"Why did mother say that?" Su Junning was puzzled.

Looking at her daughter who is as pretty as a flower, Cui's eyes became more sad.

"The emperor intends to ease the relationship between the ministers of the old and the new factions, and let the high-ranking families in the court pull out the poor officials. Since last year, he has given marriages to many ministers in the court. Now it seems that he also intends to refer your second sister to the uncle of the country. Duke Rui's second son." Cui said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Su Junning frowned. If it was for this kind of purpose, wouldn't Su Zhiyi's marriage be completely reduced to a political tool.

After understanding this, she understood in her heart that what Cui Shi said was not good.

Then he asked, "So mother is worried that after I reach Jili, the emperor may also have his ideas?"

There are only so many unmarried men and women of the right age in Bianjing. If Emperor Jianning really wants to use this method to resolve the conflict between the two factions of ministers, it is indeed possible.

Although this move harmed others, it was beneficial to Emperor Jianning.

Not long after he ascended the throne, it is not a good thing that the court is unstable, and the easiest way to make the two factions shake hands is to bind their interests together, and marriage is an excellent means.

It's really a dead Taoist friend who doesn't die a poor Taoist!

Su Junning couldn't help complaining fiercely in her heart.

Cui nodded, and mentioned one person with melancholy eyes, "Do you still remember the young lady of Jingchang Hou Qin's family."

"Remember, Jingchanghou's granddaughter, Qin Wan, has a good relationship with her second sister." Su Junning looked at her mother.

"She was married by the emperor. Last year, she married the newly promoted Bianjing Guard Commander, Lord Wu's eldest son. The husband and wife were at odds in the past, and her husband took a concubine when he was newly married. She was angry and had a miscarriage."

Cui's tone was full of pity and sympathy, and after a pause, he said again.

"In my opinion, no matter whether you are married or the family is right, the two parties are unwilling, and the victims are always more women, especially those who are not well-matched, like Miss Qin and the Wu family, and the conversation is not speculative, and the husband and wife are at odds. .”

This makes sense. After all, the growth environment is different, the three perspectives are different, and they are forcibly tied together. How can there be harmony?

Su Junning lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Another day of dread.

Seeing that her daughter seemed to be depressed, Cui immediately realized that she had talked too much.

Then he took Su Junning's hand and patted it.

"Don't think too much about it. Mother just likes to think about it. With your father here, your marriage will not have too many problems. I said this to remind you to be careful when you return to Beijing, and your second sister is in a bad mood recently. , a little cold, don't take it to heart."

Su Junning pursed her lips, nodded, and said that Su Zhiyi had always been cold, and she was used to it.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll remember everything." Su Junning took Cui's arm coquettishly and leaned over.

Cui patted her daughter's head lovingly, and suddenly remembered something, so she supported Su Junning's shoulders and made her sit upright again.

"By the way, Mrs. Ruiguo delivered a post a few days ago. She held a poetry meeting at her house and invited many people. There are many unmarried young masters and ladies. Your second sister is going. Since you are back, I will also join you. go."
