pastoral wedding

Chapter 126
An angry Liu stared straight at him, "I let you finish talking, what else can I say." Having said that, she turned her head and saw the jumping lights again, and felt a little unbalanced in her heart, "Say, the head of the family, whether our second girl Appearance or figure, and family background, where is it worse than others, why can someone's daughter marry into a good family, and my daughter can only be someone's second wife?"

Stretching out his hand to pick out the wick, Su Wenshan still smiled, "Although our daughter married to be the second wife, I believe she will live a better life than anyone else. It will be better than Tang'er's life."

"Aren't you biased?" Mrs. Liu snorted, stood up and made the bed, "I don't know where my heart has gone, maybe you will still say the same thing when the third girl gets married in the future, my Jin'er, in the future It will be better than her two sisters."

Su Wenshan sat there with a chuckle, and suddenly sighed, "I always feel that our children are still young, but look, seeing that everyone is getting married one by one, I finally understand why we are so young. I am willing to have a son, not because of the so-called family inheritance, but because only a son can always be by your side. Daughter, no matter how spoiled your baby is, she will marry into someone else's house in the future, and I don't know when I will see you again. "

"Be content, the eldest girl has always been so close to us, and she brings her children to the house every three days. If the second girl gets married, it will be a bit far away, but our two companies are doing business together, and we must meet each other. You can look forward to it." It would be great if Jin'er and Qiao'er could marry under your nose in the future."

The husband and wife were talking about it, but in the end they basically agreed to this matter. However, since they haven't asked their daughter's opinion, this matter will not be mentioned for the time being. Let's see the attitudes of these two people.

Under the reminder of Su Jin last night, Chu Luo went to look for Su Shuang early the next morning. Su Shuang just woke up and was standing at the window looking at the osmanthus tree outside. At the end of September and the beginning of October, the osmanthus blossoms were in full bloom. It looks more and more golden.Smelling the familiar aroma, Su Shuang called Qiu Liang, "Go and pick some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers and give them to the third girl. Just tell her that I want sweet-scented osmanthus cake and let her make it."

Qiu Liang pursed her lips and smiled, "The second girl is used to instructing the third girl to work."

"You still dare to talk poorly, if you don't want her to go, just go, I want to see if you can do it."

The two masters and servants were bickering, this scene often appeared in Qingshuang Pavilion, and only at home, Su Shuang would occasionally show her childish side.When Chu Luo came in and saw it, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips, "Do you need my help?"

"Can Mr. Chu also make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes?" Qiu Ye came out of the room and interjected, tilting her head.

Chu Luo laughed, "I don't know if you want to eat anything else, but I've made this a few times. My mother also liked to eat this." Then he rolled up his sleeves, lifted his robe, and moved the ladder Come climb a tree.Today he is wearing a long gown with brocade printed on dark blue silk, which is especially beautiful with golden osmanthus flowers.

Su Shuang bent the corner of her lower lip, feeling that this man was not as annoying as she thought before, on the contrary, she felt a little joy towards him in her heart.

The sweet-scented osmanthus was picked from the tree, and Qiu Liang took the bamboo basket to follow it, and the autumn leaves turned around under the tree to tell him where the flowers bloomed better.It didn't take long to pick a full basket.Chu Luo took it from Qiu Liang's hand, turned her head to look at Su Shuang with a smile, and raised the bamboo basket to her, "Just wait, I'll make it for you." She said and took it away.

Does he really know how to make osmanthus cake?A big man, especially a man from such a family background, can go into the kitchen and make pastries?Su Shuang was a little skeptical, she only glanced at Qiuye, and Qiuye followed with a smile on her face.

Half an hour later, Qiu Ye came back with a smile on her face, holding a food box in her hand, and brought out the snacks inside to the second girl, "Miss, look, this is sweet-scented osmanthus cold cake, this is Osmanthus rice cake, and this one, called osmanthus rice cake, which one is delicious?"

Su Shuang looked at it in a daze, "Chu Luo really did this all by himself?"

"What I saw with my own eyes was done by Mr. Chu himself."

"What about the others?"

Qiu Ye hurriedly said: "Master Chu said that the cakes made from such fresh sweet-scented osmanthus must be delicious, so he made more and sent them to the third girl, the fourth girl and Yue Ya'er, and he went to the main courtyard by himself. , said that there was something to discuss with Madam, so I went to deliver it myself."

Looking for a mother?For some reason, Su Shuang's heart skipped a beat. She picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cold cake, put it in her mouth, and took a bite. The pastries are much tastier than those made with aged osmanthus sauce.

Today the sky is high and the clouds are light, and there is already some early autumn breath, only the breeze is blowing, but it is much more refreshing than the summer wind.Chu Luo personally carried the food box into the main courtyard, and Liu Shi was bending over to pick up her several pots of chrysanthemums. Liu Shi didn't like flowers and plants very much. Her temperament meant that she was not a person who could carefreely grow flowers and plants, but After moving to Suzaku City, she basically could only stay at home, she was very bored, and she had to find something to do for herself.

"Ma'am, I made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for you to try."

Liu raised her head to look at him in surprise, "You know how to make cakes?" The two newly bought maidservants beside her, one named Qingju and the other named Huangye, hurried forward to pick up the food box, and the other Take the dishes to serve on the table.Mrs. Liu cleaned her hands, came in and sat down, picked up a piece of rice cake, tasted it, and praised with a smile: "It's really good, not worse than that girl Jin'er's cooking skills."

Chu Luo sat down opposite him, "How can I compare with Jin'er, I can only make this kind of pastry."

Mrs. Liu put down the sweet-scented osmanthus rice cake in her hand, and looked at him seriously, "I'm afraid you need to find me for something today? I don't believe you are here to deliver cakes."

"There is something to do," Chu Luo also became serious, "I want to marry Su Shuang. If you agree, I will go back to the capital to buy a dowry. I heard that the Han family gave a lot of dowry to the elder sister. I will definitely buy more. Bring a lot of dowry, and let Su Shuang marry me gracefully."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand, "Although I love money, as a mother, I hope that my daughter can marry someone who cherishes her and live a safe and happy life. Those dowry gifts are not so important. It's important." As she spoke, she looked up at the sky outside, "If you have nothing to do, go talk to the second girl, she has a cold temper, and I'm afraid it's not easy to give her sincerity to others."

Doesn't the meaning of these words mean that it is clear enough, Chu Luo is overjoyed, as long as the two of them can let go, it is equivalent to a big step forward for him, and he will definitely work harder with Su Shuang.

The two of them were talking when they heard Qingju's laughter: "The second girl is here." As soon as the words fell, Su Shuang walked in, took a look at Chu Luo and sat down at the table, silently picked up a The rice cakes are eaten.

"You girl, what are you doing here, and you don't talk." Liu took the rice cake in her hand, but she picked up a new one and gnawed on it.

Mrs. Liu didn't bother to talk to her any more, and only talked to Chu Luo, "I see it's a very good day, why don't you take the children out for a stroll, flying kites and so on, both Xiaoqiaoer and Yueya like it Well, little girl, you need to be coaxed well."

Who is this saying?Su Shuang finished eating the piece of rice cake in her hand, took another piece of cold cake, but only held it in her hand, looked back and forth over and over again, and suddenly said, "I agree."

Both Liu Shi and Chu Luo were taken aback, they both lowered their heads to look at her at the same time, and she said again, "I agree to marry him." After saying that, she dropped the cold cake and left.

Chu Luo was naturally ecstatic when he heard the words, and Liu Shi also smiled, thinking why this girl is thinking about it now.

After coming out from Mrs. Liu, Chu Luo went to see Yue Ya'er, and immediately got up and went back to Beijing to prepare the dowry. He made an agreement with Mrs. Liu to give the betrothal in ten days. Before leaving, he took Su Shuang's date of birth. Crescent Moon did not bring it back.

Su Shuang knew all this because of Su Jin's big mouth, since she entered her room she kept talking about it, and finally asked her why she agreed?
Why?Su Shuang smiled lightly, it is impossible to say that she fell in love with him, at least not yet.But she understood why her father and mother were in such a hurry to marry herself off, it was for Jin'er, she was an older sister, and although she usually bullied her, she cared for her as much as the elder sister, so for her, I am willing to do this myself.In addition, because of Yue Yue'er, remembering the scene of her hugging her neck and talking in her sleep last night, she couldn't help but feel sad. She called her mother over and over again, saying that she didn't want to go back, and no one at home loved her or cared about her. A child who is only four years old actually said these words, how can she not feel sad, since she can, I am willing to be her mother, love her well, and won't let her suffer these grievances again.

Sure enough, ten days later, the door of the Su family was surrounded by people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors. These people were talking about the betrothal gift from the Chu family that they saw just now. With such a betrothal gift, they only married the eldest wife in the four major families. I saw it when I was young, other people don't say they are step-wives, even if they marry the main wife, they don't have such a big ostentation.

Chu Luo's behavior gave Liu a lot of face, she was always smiling this day, and everyone in the family was also infected by this atmosphere, and they were beaming.Chu Luo also brought a matchmaker here this time. The matchmaker was invited in the capital, and she was an official matchmaker. No matter what she said or did, the private matchmaker couldn't compare. This official media cannot be easily afforded, which shows that the influence of the Chu family in the capital should not be underestimated.
