pastoral wedding

Chapter 67 Calculation
County magistrate Liu and Mrs. Xu immediately stopped their voices, and when there was no movement, Liu Siyan lowered his shoulders helplessly, "I'll go talk to Jin'er and I'll go back with you." Then, under the watchful eyes of the two elders, he walked slowly to Su Jin in front of.

"Thank you, Jin'er, whether I go to the capital or Fanbang, you and Han Yu will always be my best friends." After finishing speaking, she hugged Su Jin and whispered in her ear, "In the yard of the Han family, under the pillow on the bed we sleep on, there is a bead flower of mine. I originally wanted Han Zicheng to get it by himself, but now I can't see him anymore. You go and get it for me. Leave it to him, let him remember me."

Su Jin nodded, and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will do it, you actually thought about coming back a long time ago, didn't you?" Otherwise, there is no need to keep that bead flower for Han Yu.

"What if I don't come back? I still can't be with the person I like, so what's the point of my leaving?" With a wry smile, he turned and left.

Su Jin stood there, looking at her back resolutely going away, looking at the slowly closing door, her heart became heavy again, no matter what era, there is always so much helplessness.

Two days later, it will be Mr. Han's birthday. As in-laws, the Su family will naturally go there.No, I received an invitation from Su Tang on the first day.Mrs. Liu discussed with Su Wenshan and bought a birthday gift. She originally wanted to go with the whole family, but the business of restaurants and inns has been very good recently. Su Wenshan couldn't spare, so she asked Mrs. Liu to bring her two daughters Go, Brother Shuo can't go, he has to go to school, and Xiao Qiao'er is still too young, so Hong Xing and Qiu Liang have to stay and look after her.

This morning, Mrs. Liu got up early, wearing a rose and purple two-color Xiangfeng trousers, and a peacock blue eight-panel long skirt with four-in-one wishful patterns underneath, and a rose cloud pattern inlaid tourmaline on her hair. With a gold hairpin and a large gold-encrusted jeweled and folded silk bracelet on his wrist, the whole person looks graceful and luxurious, but it is a bit too jewel-like.Fortunately, Liu Shi was born with beauty, and the eight-panel long skirt with peacock blue four-fold wishful pattern also added a lot of beauty to her.

Su Jin and Su Shuang shook their heads when they saw it, they couldn't stand Liu's attire.The two sisters were respectively wearing cherry yellow and snow blue clothes, which were both elegant and refined, and looked like they had bright eyes.In fact, the three sisters are all beauties, but their beauty has its own merits. One is wearing a light plain skirt, like a floating cloud, ethereal and elegant, gentle and graceful; The plum blossoms are in full bloom, icy cold but still fragrant; the other one is beautiful and beautiful, just like the cardamom on the branches in March, as bright as spring blossoms and as bright as the autumn moon.

For her children, Liu Shi has always been very satisfied and proud.

At this time, the Han family was already bustling with activity, red lanterns were hung at the door, and the word "longevity" was pasted on the door. All the famous people in Qingshi Town came to congratulate, as well as relatives and friends who came from afar. In short, there is an endless stream of people at the gate.

Because there were people coming and going outside, the side door was opened, and all the wives' carriages could drive directly to the inner door and then come down, and there was a dedicated housekeeper waiting there with the stewards' wives.

Mrs. Liu took her daughter out of the carriage, and the little maid in charge of leading the way took her to Mrs. Sun's Ruyi Pavilion.I didn't see Su Tang when I got there, so I guess he was greeting guests elsewhere.Mrs. Sun was sitting on it, dressed in bright red, very rich, and there were already a few wives who came earlier, among them Su Jin met Liu Siyan's mother, Mrs. Xu, and she looked very happy, look It turned out that Liu Siyan really compromised.

Seeing Mrs. Liu coming, although Mrs. Sun didn't stand up to greet her, she was enthusiastic, "Mother-in-law is here, let's go, today is our father's birthday, although he doesn't want to make such a fuss, but because it's Zhengshou, the children We all want to be filial, and I also want to take this opportunity to see two more people, and be happy, but it will cost everyone again."

Seeing Sun's modesty, everyone naturally flattered her with good intentions.All of a sudden, everyone was chatting hotly, and each of them talked to someone they knew well.Although Mrs. Liu is not very familiar with these people, it is not embarrassing to have two daughters by her side.But it so happened that someone wanted to come to make fun of it. It was the Dou family who started their business by making tofu in the early years. Now the tofu industry in Qingshi Town is monopolized by her family, and all the tofu needed by the restaurant are also given by her family.Because of the relationship with the restaurant, Mrs. Liu has met this Mrs. Dou several times, but she is familiar with her face, so she cannot be called familiar.

"It is said that there are three sister flowers in the Su family. I have never seen them before, but I see them today." Mrs. Dou covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile. She is beautiful, so it's no wonder that she has caught the eyes of the young master of the Han family. Who doesn't know that the young master Han has won the Juren, and the future is bright. In the future, the eldest sister of your family will be blessed. , I wondered what kind of family would be worthy of it."

No one likes to be complimented, especially Mrs. Liu. Originally, she didn't like Mrs. Dou, but she became a little excited after being praised by her words, "It's not that my mother-in-law sells melons, my three daughters are all tops." This Shui Ling, it is a blessing for the Han family to marry my daughter, and the other two daughters can stay for another two years, if they are all married away, I really don’t want to part with it.”

"That's right, let's talk about this daughter, no matter how well raised she is, she will be someone else's family. Alas, the girl is not allowed to stay." Madam Dou sighed.

Mrs. Liu asked with a smile, "But your daughter is also at Jiji's age? Did you ever talk about getting married?"

"It's because I've reached Jiji's age but I haven't talked about marriage yet, so I'm so anxious." Mrs. Dou rolled her eyes, "I have three sons with her father, and it's just such a daughter. I don't want to marry her into a poor family. Good people go to endure hardships, but people like us have partial births and no ones of the right age, so I thought, if there are such good people, I would be willing to be an ordinary wife for others."

Mrs. Liu didn't take it seriously, "Look at the flat wife who sounds nice, but in fact she is not as good as the main wife. I advise you not to think about it. We finally raised our daughter. How can we let her be that inferior woman?" What about the flat wife?"

Madam Dou just smiled and stopped talking.

Not long after, Su Tang came in, saw Liu's mother and daughter couldn't help smiling, walked over to salute, "Mother, you are here, and the two younger sisters are also here."

Mrs. Liu patted her hand, knowing that it wasn't the mother and daughter who were talking, so she just said: "Go and do your work, mother has your two younger sisters by her side."

Su Tang nodded, walked up to Mrs. Sun and said with a smile: "Mother, the stage in front of the theater has been set up, and we are watching a play. Because there are many female relatives here today, you also like to watch plays, so father will let you go to the theater." Zishu went to invite another theater troupe, and they have already set up a stage in the inner courtyard, and asked Mother to take all the wives there to listen to the opera."

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun laughed, and while supporting Su Tang's hand to stand up, she said, "Our master still remembers that I like to listen to operas. It just so happens, let's go and watch some fun together."

The theater stage was set up in a small garden in the inner house. After everyone sat down, they began to sing. After listening to "The Peony Pavilion", Su Jin was drowsy and yawning, feeling that someone was coming. She pulled the corner of her clothes from behind, but when she looked back, it was Xiao He, she smiled wickedly, "Miss, don't we have to go get Miss Liu's beads? It's a good time to take this opportunity."

Da He frowned when she heard it, and scolded her sister, "It's so easy for the girl to listen to the opera, so you just push her to wander around. I think it's because you don't like to listen to the opera and want to go shopping?"

Xiao He opened her mouth and laughed, her big black eyes only staring at Su Jin.Su Jin also laughed, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, I don't like to watch this show, Xiao He is right, I just took this opportunity to get Zhuhua, Da He, stay and watch, if you have anything to do, come to us After saying that, she turned around and told her mother and second sister to go to the toilet, and slipped away with Xiao He.

The backyard became unusually quiet, most of the people went to the small garden to listen to the play and watch the excitement, and the only ones left were the maids guarding the yard.Su Jin's master and servant walked all the way, but they didn't meet many people. They were wondering, but they saw the rose bushes moving in front of them. A person came with a bundle in his arms. After he came out, he looked around and saw no one, so he called softly: "Girl, come out."

Another person came out from the flowers, but it was Dou Fangqi, the daughter of Mrs. Dou whom I had just met.Su Jin was very surprised, why did these two people appear here?Still hiding in the flowers, what on earth do you mean?Don't say it's because there are no rose bushes in the house, which is rare.

Just wondering, I heard these two people talk again, "Girl, I asked the boys in front just now, and said that Young Master Han splashed his clothes wet with someone just now, and he will come back later to change his clothes. Going back to the courtyard where I live, I will definitely go this way, and I will definitely pass the lake in front. The girl went to the lake to hide first, and when Master Han came, the slaves called the girl into the water and asked him to come and save her. "

"But what if he doesn't come?" Dou Fangqi hesitated.

The servant girl comforted, "No, I heard that Young Master Han is a kind-hearted person, not to mention that we are in his house, if there is something wrong with his house, it will not look good on his house, will it?"

Dou Fangqi nodded, as if mustering up her courage, "Okay, I have liked him for so many years, and today this will finally come true. When he rescues me from the water, he will definitely see my body. At that time, I used this as an excuse to let him be responsible, so that I could marry him as I wished, but it is a pity that he already has a wife, and I am at best a flat wife."

"What are you afraid of, girl? What about flat wives? His main wife is not pregnant yet. If girl, you can give birth to a fat boy for the young master of the Han family, let alone young master Han, it will be Mr. Han and Mrs. Han." I'm sure I'll be happy too, maybe I'll straighten the girl up." The servant girl smiled and flattered, while showing her the bundle, "Look, girl, I've prepared all the clean clothes, girl won't catch a cold."

The master and servant walked towards the lake while talking.When they were far away, Su Jin, master and servant, came out, and Xiao He scolded angrily: "It's still the master and girl, who thought of such a shameful trick, it's not too shameful, and she didn't even care about her innocence and reputation. !"

Su Jin didn't speak, and was thinking of countermeasures quickly in her heart. This matter must not be left to the Dou family. How could the eldest sister's gentle temperament win against such a calculating person.After thinking about it, she said decisively: "Xiao He, go ahead and fetch Siyan's Pearl Flower, and then stop by Qingfeng Pavilion, and ask the maid over there for a big brother-in-law's clothes. Wait here, and come here to find me when you get it."

Xiao He hurriedly went. When she passed the lake, she took a special look, but she didn't see anyone. It seems that Dou Fangqi should have been hiding.
