Chapter 52 Rejection
Mrs. Xu nodded, "It's fine as long as it's fine. Your mother and I are old friends. It's a bit embarrassing not to see her these days."

"I will definitely tell my mother. When my mother recovers, I will visit Madam in person." Su Tang smiled, her behavior was well-behaved but not too rigid, which was pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Xu nodded appreciatively, put down the teacup in her hand, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Su Ji has three daughters, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers, and seeing her today is as expected, and this courtesy is not lacking at all. , your mother is lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you."

Are these words a compliment to her or a mockery of her poor background?Su Tang smiled faintly, "Ma'am praised you, Su Tang is just from a small family, but his mother taught him the principles of dealing with people since he was a child, Su Tang never dares to forget, and he will never look down on himself, My third sister said that one must first think highly of oneself, and then others will think highly of you."

"Your third sister?" Xu asked with interest, "Could it be that your third sister is better than you?"

Su Tang smiled and nodded, and Xu Shi also nodded with a smile, but didn't say anything, instead asked about Han Yu's whereabouts, "I don't know if the second son of the mansion is at home?"

"Madam is talking about Zicheng, but I haven't seen him all day." Su Tang said, turning around and asking Chun Yi, "Go and see if Second Young Master is here."

Before Chunyi could respond, Xia Mo interjected with a smile, "Girl, you don't need to ask Chunyi's sister to ask. I saw the second young master going out with the servants around me early in the morning. I think he hasn't come back yet."

Su Tang nodded and looked at Mrs. Xu, "It seems that the second brother is not here. I wonder why Madam is looking for him?"

Mrs. Xu said about Liu Siyan, and said with a sneer, "If I didn't know that your mother is an honest person, I would really think that she knew that she was hiding from me. Your second brother is really a great person. , turn my daughter around."

"Ma'am, have you said that? Although my second brother is a bit out of tune, he is not the kind of person who can play with people's feelings." Su Tang defended Han Yu.

Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, "Then what kind of person is he? He tricked my daughter to hang around him all day long. If you don't want to get married, you can just say it directly. Wouldn't such procrastination delay my daughter's youth?"

"This..." Su Tang didn't know how to answer the question. She reasoned that she was a junior, she couldn't make decisions about some things, and she couldn't say some things, so she thought for a while and said, "Su Tang is a junior. I can't make up my mind about this matter, if madam is anxious to know, why not talk about it after seeing my mother some other day? I don't think madam will embarrass me, a junior, right?"

These words immediately blocked Xu's back, and she also knew that even if she asked again, she would not be able to ask anything, so she just kept it to herself, and said with a smile: "I'm not trying to embarrass you, I'm just being a parent." You are just married now, and you will understand how I feel when you have a child." He said, standing up with the hand of the servant girl next to him, "Okay, since the second child in the house The young master is not here, and Si Yan is not at the house, so I won't stay any longer."

Su Tang took Aunt Rong out a few steps, and watched Xu Shi go out of the inner courtyard door and then turned back, but before taking two steps, a maid came trotting all the way, Xia Mo reprimanded: "What's the matter? If you are in a panic, you are not afraid of scaring the young lady!"

The servant girl hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Your servant deserves to die, but I have something urgent to report."

Su Tang has always been generous, seeing her in such a hurry, he asked her to get up and ask what happened, but it turned out that it was Mrs. Xu who went out and blocked Han Yu and Liu Siyan at the gate of his house.Hearing that Su Tang lifted the hem of his skirt and went out, Aunt Rong and the maidservants behind her hurriedly followed, and a group of people hurried towards the gate.As soon as he reached the gate, he saw Mrs. Xu scolding Han Yu, "Han Zicheng! I warned you, please stay away from my daughter. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass my Liu family?"

Han Yu giggled, "Why did Auntie say that? How dare I go against our county magistrate in Qingshi Town? Auntie is thinking too much?"

"Auntie? What kind of aunt am I?" Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, "Our Liu family and your Han family are not in-laws, so there is no need to call them so affectionate."

"Then aunt's words are also here to force a kiss?" Han Yu leaned on the door frame with his shoulders in his arms, holding a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that Su Jin gave him, poured a sip into his mouth, and spit out Mouth full of alcohol, with a playful smile on his face.

Mrs. Xu was so angry that she almost fell on her back, "Is it true that my Liu family can only marry your Han family? Let me tell you, Han Zicheng, my daughter is full of people who come to marry me, so don't bother you to worry about it." Said He took Liu Siyan's hand and walked out, Liu Siyan was anxious immediately, if her mother dragged her away at this moment, she was afraid that her marriage with Han Zicheng would really fail, so she hurriedly pulled her mother's hand away, anxiously Said: "Mother, I won't leave, I voluntarily want to marry Brother Zicheng, please help us."

"Stupid girl!" Xu's eyes widened and she looked at the precious daughter she was holding in her hands with resentment, quite a bit of resentment, "Can't you see it? She never thought of marrying her at all. you!"

"No," Liu Siyan shook his head, tears welling in his eyes, "Brother Zicheng likes me, but he doesn't want to get married now, he will marry me when he thinks about it, mother, I want to wait Brother Zicheng, please."

Han Yu quietly leaned on the door frame and watched all this, without a word of excuse for himself, just watched quietly, with a heavy heart, and even an inexplicable sense of guilt.

"You..." Xu slapped her daughter angrily, and then froze after the slap.Liu Siyan was also stunned, "Mother, did you hit me?"

Mrs. Xu was stunned. She had only one daughter in her whole life. Ever since she was born, she was afraid of falling in her hands and melting in her mouth. She finally grew up to such a big age. Once she moved a finger, even if the old man wanted to beat and scold her, I would try my best to protect her. Who would have thought that I would be the one who beat her today?

Liu Siyan's tears finally fell out, and the teardrops fell on the ground and merged into the rainwater, and it was impossible to tell which were tears and which were rainwater.Suddenly she turned around abruptly and hugged Han Yu, "Brother Zicheng, you will marry me, right?"

Han Yu held the jug in his right hand, and stretched out his left hand to hug her trembling body, but just as his left hand touched her waist, a sweet smile involuntarily appeared in his mind. It was engraved in her mind. He still remembered that when they first met, she silenced the arrogant and domineering third girl of the Yang family with some jokes. At that time, her eyes were shining, her cheeks Honghong, she was engraved in my heart at that time, if not for her, maybe I would accept Liu Siyan today, right?
"I'm sorry, Siyan, you shouldn't have chosen me. Your mother was right. I'm not a person worthy of your entrustment. What a good guy?" He smiled cynically, and even lifted Liu Siyan's chin with his fingers when he said the word Baihualou.

"Brother Zicheng, I..." Liu Siyan wanted to continue, but Chunxi stopped him, "Girl, don't make Madam sad anymore."

She turned her head and saw that her mother's face was pale with anger, and her body was still shaking a little.Surprised, she let go of Han Yu's hand and ran back to her mother, and was immediately restrained by several nuns beside her mother and stuffed into the carriage.

Seeing the Han family's carriage drifting away, Han Yu bent the corners of his lips mockingly, and took a sip of wine into his mouth.Su Tang walked over and looked at him worriedly, "Why are you bothering? The girl from the Liu family is a good match for you. You should go to the Liu family and have a good talk with Mrs. Liu."

Han Yu has always respected her, and he wouldn't talk to anyone else, but Su Tang, he couldn't ignore her, so he just smiled wryly, "Sister-in-law, you and my elder brother are naturally in love with each other. Back then, my mother forced my elder brother to marry someone else. , Big Brother insists on refusing, and now, I am also doing the same."

"But she may not be able to fall in love with you." Su Tang looked towards her own direction clearly, silly Jin'er, do you know that this man is standing by for you, what are you thinking? "Do you want me to ask you a question?"

Han Yu just laughed, "No need, I know she doesn't like me now, but one day she will be my wife, sister-in-law, do you believe me?"

Su Tang nodded without hesitation, "Sister-in-law naturally believes in you."

Han Yu laughed again, picked up the jug and walked out, ignoring the shouts of the people behind him, and just stepped into the rain.

This matter naturally reached Mrs. Sun's ears, she threw the vase in front of her angrily, and scolded Han Yu for being a troublemaker, even the wife of the county magistrate dared to provoke him, he was really lawless and so on.I thought about complaining to Han Zhizhong, but she was under ground and couldn't get out, so I asked someone to invite her, but Han Zhizhong refused to come, so I could only swear by myself and let it go.

Here, Aunt Rong slowly told Han Zhizhong about this while making tea, and lowered her head to wait for Han Zhizhong's reaction, but after waiting for a long time, the person opposite did not respond, so she had to change the subject and talk about Han Zhenniang's marriage.

Liu Yi is also troubled by marriage affairs here. Liu Yi is seventeen this year, and he is considered an older youth in this era.Mrs. Jiang has been anxious for a long time, no, the girl introduced to Brother Yi by her natal sister-in-law a few days ago, he thinks the parents are ugly, so he refuses to be willing, and he doesn't talk about it until now, he is really anxious to death up.

This time, taking advantage of Liu Yi's vacation and staying for two days, he hurriedly found a matchmaker. Liu Yi was so frightened that he ran away, and only stayed at home for half a day before running back to town.Jiang babbled angrily, and Liu Shumin couldn't bear her babble, so he took her directly to the town and blocked his son in Su Ji's backyard.

"Yi'er, you have grown up so much, has dad ever forced you to do anything?" Liu Shumin decided to use soft policies first, after all, the child is not young, and tough policies probably won't have any effect.
