good wife

Chapter 74 Mantis Catching Cicadas
Su Wei saw that the old man was in a bad mood, so he opened the topic and said: "Father, my son visited those two shops two days ago, and the business is pretty good. It seems that the third brother is also good at business."

The old man's face softened a little, and he let out a long sigh of relief, "Oh, if you have time, let people look at his shop more, don't make any trouble! I'm old, and I can't stand his repeated troubles."

Su Wei said respectfully: "Yes. My son will. Father, son, let's go with mother to persuade the third brother. If the Liu family is really demoted to a concubine, the third brother's room will not even have a son. In the future, whether Mrs. Liu can get pregnant again is one thing, even if she is pregnant, she may not be a son."

After Su Wei finished speaking, he looked at the old man.Waiting to see his attitude.

The old man shook his head lightly, "It's up to you."

Jingyi listened to the conversation between the two from behind, and secretly thought in her heart, how could she really say nothing about the fact that he was her own son.Fortunately, my father really cares about brotherhood, otherwise, if I really let go, I am afraid that the old man will be really angry!
Jingyi rubbed the old man's shoulders again before climbing off the soft stool.After eating some snacks, I got tired of Su Wei's place for a while before retreating.

Jingyi came to the yard and took a few deep breaths, Liu Shi, this time, even the old lady can't save you.Mrs. Liu, you really didn't disappoint me, you did have tricks.How could you persuade my third uncle to make you his wife?
It's just that the old lady and father won't let her wish come true.Although the old man said he didn't care, he would never allow the third uncle to straighten a concubine from a humble background. In that case, not only Su Cheng would lose face, but the old man and his father would also feel ashamed.

Unexpectedly, before Su Wei and the old lady had time to go, news came from the old house that night: Mrs. Liu committed adultery and was caught by Su Cheng, but Mrs. Liu refused to admit it.In a fit of rage, Su Cheng beat Liu Shi seriously, wrote a demotion letter, and dismissed her as a concubine. After Liu Shi's elder brother heard what happened, he only asked him to keep abandoning Liu Shi. .As a result, Liu's natal family can't count on it.

After making such a fuss, the old lady and Su Wei couldn't stop it anymore.It's just that they don't agree to straighten a concubine's room, which is against etiquette!Although Liu's family background is innocent, but his family background is poor, if he is really promoted as the main family, wouldn't it be a joke!
Su Cheng was helpless, but he didn't insist anymore.

Two days later, Jingyi brought Haitang and others to Jingwei's yard again.

"Sister still busy?" As soon as Jing Yi entered the door, she saw Jing Wei was embroidering something.

Seeing Jingyi coming in, Jingwei hurriedly put down the things in her hands, and said with a smile: "Why is my sister free today? Ning'er, hurry up and make a pot of good tea."

Jingyi smiled and said: "Sister, don't bother. Let me see if the things my sister embroidered for me are embroidered?"

"I've been feeling a little uncomfortable these days, no, my sister was in a hurry when I just started embroidery?"

"No rush. Well, no matter how beautiful the design is, it's not as good as the real thing."

Jingwei's face changed, and soon returned to normal. She glanced at Jingyi and asked, "My sister has seen something with this pattern before, so she wanted to embroider it?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Jingyi carefully. Yi's look.

Jingyi nodded: "Yes. Isn't it just a bracelet?"

Jing Wei paused her hands, and glanced at Jing Yi, seeing her staring at the pattern wholeheartedly, she was relieved.

"By the way, sister, I heard that there will be many guests coming to the mansion tomorrow!"

"That's right. My mother said she was going to hold a chrysanthemum banquet in the chrysanthemum garden, but no one in the house knew that it was what my grandmother meant. I'm afraid she wanted to see my third aunt again for my third uncle." Jing Jing Wei Wei said thoughtfully.

Jingyi nodded, "I don't know what kind of person we will find to be our third aunt, will we get along well?"

"Whether we get along well or not, what does it have to do with us? Anyway, she doesn't live in the Hou Mansion. It's just that Liu's life is going to be miserable."

Jing Yi smiled lightly and said nothing, just stared at the female celebrity on Jing Wei's table.But in his heart, he secretly said: I'm afraid it will be more lively tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Jingyi finished washing up early, greeted Mrs. Gu, and accompanied Mrs. Gu to the Chrysanthemum Garden.

At Si time, the main courtyard of Hou Mansion was already very lively.

The old lady has already arrived at the chrysanthemum garden, waiting for the ladies and daughters.As for the chrysanthemum garden, the old lady really didn't want to come, but in this season, there is only an excuse of holding a chrysanthemum feast to invite people to come.

This chrysanthemum garden was originally built by the old man after the emperor rewarded the mansion.Others don't know, but Su Wei and the old lady know that Su Wei's biological mother used to love chrysanthemums very much, and often used chrysanthemums in meals.Come to think of it, the old man ordered people to build this chrysanthemum garden because he missed Mrs. Yuanpei.

Later, when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom every year, the old man would live in the chrysanthemum garden for a period of time, and he would order people to prepare chrysanthemum wine and hold a big chrysanthemum feast!
It's just that this year's Chrysanthemum Banquet has changed the protagonist.In the past, the old man and Su Wei entertained them, and the people who came were all literati, or brave generals!Today's hosts were replaced by the old lady and Mrs. Gu, and the guests invited were also famous ladies, as well as some young ladies who had not left the cabinet.

"Sister Cui!" Jingyi saw Mrs. Ding Guogong and Cui Qianqian at a glance, and hurried to meet them.

"Sister Jingyi, I haven't seen you for a few days, my sister is even more beautiful." Cui Qianqian laughed.

"Sister Cui, don't make fun of me. My sister's dress is so beautiful! Lin's sister looks like a fairy." Jingyi exclaimed.

Cui Qianqian wore a white dress today, embroidered with butterflies and narcissus, and tied a hanging bun. On both sides of the hanging bun, there were flower buttons tied with light pink hairbands.On her head, she wore a plum-blossom glass hairpin and a suet-colored jasmine hairpin. There were not many head accessories, but they looked fresh and refined.Look at her wearing a pair of gold inlaid oriental bead earrings on her ears, and a gold necklace inlaid with beads on her neck, which looks like a set with the earrings, and a coral bracelet on her left hand.The whole person's dressing style is fresh and elegant, even the earrings and necklace look delicate but not luxurious.

Cui Qianqian blushed and scolded: "You are the only one with a sweet mouth!"

Jingyi's bright eyes moved slightly, she stepped forward and whispered: "Sister is getting engaged?"

Cui Qianqian's face turned even redder, and she scolded with a smile: "You little girl, this is something you can ask? Be careful, I will tell my aunt to see how she punishes you!"

Jingyi hurriedly apologized, took Cui Qianqian's hand and said, "Good sister, is it okay if I made a mistake? I won't fight with you. Mother ordered someone to make a chrysanthemum cake, let's try it first."

After speaking, he dragged Cui Qianqian to an octagonal pavilion not far away.

The Chrysanthemum Garden is very lively, but the old lady's Crane Shouting Hall is deserted and quiet.
