Chapter 63 The Daughter of Jiangdong (1)

There is a daughter in Jiangdong Master Su's family, who is a well-known beauty in Jiangdong.Although Mr. Su's family is rich, in the end he has no one to inherit the family business, so he can only hope that he can find a good husband for his daughter and entrust the family business with confidence.

Miss Su finally reached the age to leave the cabinet, so the matter of recruiting a son-in-law began to spread.The matchmaker in the city came to the door every now and then, the eldest son of the Wang family was very talented, the youngest son of the Li family was very smart, the Zhao family in the west city was as rich as an enemy, and the Zhang family in the east city was well-matched... Cambodian invitations poured in like snowflakes, and the Su family was very lively.

Hu is a poor scholar who lives in the back of the Su Mansion. Compared with the grand mansion, his home is as simple as a thatched cottage.He moved here later. He originally lived in Jiangxi. His parents died. He sold his property and buried his elders. He came to Jiangdong alone, found a house and lived there. He wrote letters to his neighbors in exchange for a few dollars. A copper coin for a living.He is handsome, polite, courteous and considerate, everyone likes to get along with him.

Because of Miss Su's marriage, the small families living in the back of them are also not safe.The envoys who came and went to propose marriage were met with blank stares at the mansion, and they didn't dare to attack on the spot, so they had to run to the back to yell and scold.There are also those who come galloping on fast horses, rolling up billows of dust, and the clothes that have just been hung out to dry are covered with dust in a blink of an eye.

The scolding and the sound of horseshoes kept going all day, and I couldn't continue reading. Fortunately, the weather in early spring was warm and pleasant. Hu put a chair in the small yard, lay in the sun, and looked at these books thoughtfully. Scolders and galloping horses.

He only met Miss Su's family once, when he first moved here three months ago.That day I saw people from Su's mansion mobilize the crowd and lined up to go out, with two sedan chairs in the middle.He asked the neighbor what they were doing there, and the neighbor next door told him that this was the Su Mansion who went to the temple to offer incense every three months, going in the morning and coming back that evening.

Sure enough, as soon as it was dark, I saw the servants of the Su Mansion returning mightily like a long dragon.Looking back, the sky at that time was very strange, it was blue-gray, and the clouds seemed to be heavy, sticking to the distant horizon, motionless.The coldness of winter still remains, and at night it spreads silently and domineeringly.The trees on both sides of the path have lost all their leaves, and the branches stretch out their teeth and claws ferociously, like a pair of hands, reaching out to the people passing by the road.

Probably because they had been tired all day and lost the energy they had in the morning. Everyone in the team had a dull face, listless, as if they had returned, but they didn't know where their souls were lost.Such a huge team was silent, no matter where they went, they fell silent.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind for no reason, which moved the floating clouds in the sky and broke the fragile branches. The withered weeds swayed with the wind and made a rustling sound.It was when people were lighting fires and cooking, billows of white smoke filled the air, blurring vision.

It is not unreasonable to say that there is no reason for the wind. Hu Gang came back from the market and walked all the way without a trace of wind.Thinking about it afterwards, it seemed that there were hands in the air, deliberately trying to open the car curtain so that Hu could see Miss Su sitting inside.

Miss Su's face certainly lived up to her reputation. She sat in the sedan chair with her head down, her eyes slightly lowered, her demeanor was calm and graceful.Hu Shiding will never forget the thrill this strange wind brought him.Standing in the courtyard in a daze for a long time, until the team had gone far away and the surroundings became silent again, he suddenly woke up and was covered in a cold sweat.

He was amazed by Miss Su's beauty, but also afraid of her peerless beauty.This kind of beauty should not belong to the human world. Its spirituality surpasses life itself, as if it is self-contained.

The moment the sedan chair curtain was lifted, Miss Su's profile was imprinted in Hu's mind. That day he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see Miss Su sitting in the sedan chair.It's not because of the seed of love planted in this glance, he naturally thought that Miss Su would marry someone sooner or later, but with his family background, he simply didn't bother to think about it.

It's just that I suddenly thought of the legend of the fox demon on the mountain in my hometown. I'm afraid even the fox demon is not as charming as the ghost.

The weather in the afternoon was really warm, and he fell asleep unknowingly, only to wake up in the evening when he felt a bit of coolness, take a look at the setting sun, and prepare to go back to his room.

When he turned around, there was a sudden noise, something fell into the haystack and made a rustling sound.He was surprised, and looked back, there was the courtyard wall of Su Mansion across a small road. Branches that had lost their leaves protruded from it, and the grass under the wall was as high as his waist, covering most of the scenery together with the branches, covering the courtyard wall. The scenery below was very gloomy.

The withered and yellow weeds swayed and swayed without the wind.He looked in surprise, and saw a man standing up from inside. He was dressed like a member of the Su family, wearing a brown gown with a grass-yellow blouse inside. He probably came out of the wall and fell into the haystack. There are weeds hanging in some places.

Seeing Hu, the man opened his mouth and said, "Excuse me, which direction should I go to go to the market?" It was a woman's voice, like a silver bell, jingling so that people's hearts trembled.

Hu recognized at a glance that it was Miss Su's family, even if she changed into an unsuitable man's attire, she could still recognize her.Miss Su had a faint smile on her face, her complexion was much ruddy compared to Hu's memory, her brows were picturesque, and her gaze was bright.She approached, looked at Hu in a daze, and asked again.

Hu asked in surprise, "Miss Su?"

"Huh? How did you recognize me?" Miss Su was very surprised, her eyes widened, "I thought no one would recognize me."

Hu smiled wryly, and shook his head: "Miss Su's name is known to everyone in Jiangdong!"

"My lord, please don't compliment me like that. Imagine a person that no one has seen before. How many people really know her appearance, talent, temperament and virtue?"

Ms. Su sighed, turned around, looked at the courtyard wall of her own house and said: "That is my house, surrounded by high walls, I can't see the outside, and I can't be seen from the outside. My father doesn't usually Let me go out. So I thought, maybe no one here recognizes me. They only know that there is a young lady in this yard, but they don't know what she looks like."

When Miss Su said this, Hu also felt that his words were really hypocritical, and he was embarrassed and speechless for a while.Miss Su looked past him and looked at the yard behind him: "Young master lives here?"

"Xiaosheng just moved here from Jiangxi three months ago."

"From Jiangxi?" Ms. Su looked back and looked him up and down again, "I haven't even been to the market in this city, so I didn't expect you to come to me from Jiangxi. fate."

Hu was a little embarrassed, pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "Miss Su is going to the market?"

Miss Su nodded: "I heard from the servants at home that there is a big troupe coming to the city, and I want to go see it. My father forbids it, so I had to sneak out over the wall. I didn't expect to see you here. It's really out of style, you don't want it." Strange."

"No, no," Hu Liansheng said, after a moment of silence, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "It's not too far to go to the market here, if Miss Su doesn't mind, let Xiaosheng lead the way for Miss."

Miss Su was naturally happy: "Then you have Mr. Lao."
