from widow to dame

Chapter 69

"Miss Su, my wife is waiting for you!" At the door of a meditation room, Mother Rong saw Su Huiniang coming, and hurried up and said with a smile.Su Huiniang was also familiar with her, so she replied with a smile, and walked into the meditation room under her leadership.

As soon as Pu stepped into the threshold, a scent of sandalwood came over his face. Looking up, he saw that the room was square. On the wall facing the door was a statue of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva from the South China Sea. There was a four-legged incense burner on top of the brown table, and cigarettes were burning in the stove. Under the table, there was a bright yellow futon. At this time, Mrs. Chen was kneeling on it, gently twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Su Huiniang lightened her steps and stood a little far behind her almost silently.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Chen stopped praying and stood up with the help of Rong Ma: "It's hard to stop when you recite the Buddha's name, but I'll let you wait."

Su Huiniang smiled: "It just means that Madam is sincerely worshiping the Buddha."

In this meditation room, apart from the futons on the ground, there is only a low couch in the east corner to rest on. Su Huiniang and Mrs. Chen sat down opposite each other. Mother Rong brought tea to the two of them. After a while, Mrs. Chen shook her hand and said lightly Said: "You go out first."

Mother Rong bowed and answered in a low voice: "Yes!"

Su Huiniang glanced at Mu Xiang, the little girl saluted knowingly, and retreated with Mama Rong, and with the creaking of the door, only she and Mrs. Chen were left in the meditation room.

"Actually, I like you very much!" Mrs. Chen said after a while.

Su Huiniang raised her head, her expression remained the same, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Xie loves you, and Huiniang also admires your wife very much."

Mrs. Chen raised her head and took a deep look at Su Huiniang. There was no temptation or anger. She just said calmly, "My son Chen Yu likes you very much and wants to marry you." A little surprised, she was surprised that Mrs. Chen would be so straightforward.

"But I won't agree." Mrs. Chen continued, her voice was full of determination, as if she was telling Su Huiniang that unless she died, the position of the Chen family's mistress would definitely not be her turn.I thought that Su Huiniang would panic when she heard her say this, and beg her hard. However, to Mrs. Chen's surprise, Su Huiniang actually laughed, and she said, "I won't agree either."

Mrs. Chen frowned: "What?"

"I mean..." Su Huiniang put down the teacup in her hand and looked directly into Madam Chen's eyes: "Mr. Chen is not the person in Huiniang's heart, so he will never marry her. Regarding what Madam said , if Mr. Chen wants to marry me as his wife, I am afraid that he will disappoint his good intentions."

Mrs. Chen is really surprised now, what's going on?Shouldn't she put pressure on her by stating her conditions, and the other party will retreat in spite of the difficulties, and stop pestering Yu'er in the future?But now it turned into the other party rejecting his son, telling himself that he didn't mean that at all, it was completely because your son was thinking too much.

"You, you don't like Chen Yu?" Mrs. Chen's eyes widened slightly, and there was a faint anger on her face besides disbelief.

It seems to say, my excellent son likes a woman like you, you should be grateful, why do you despise him and say you don't like him?Su Huiniang felt that she quite understood Mrs. Chen's mood at this time, but it was better to be straightforward, whether it was for Chen Yu, Mrs. Chen, or herself!

"Mr. Chen is certainly excellent." Su Huiniang said, "But he doesn't meet my criteria for choosing a son-in-law."

Mrs. Chen looked at her in surprise: "What conditions do you have?"

"If I want to get married, I don't ask for his family's wealth, nor his appearance and talent, just a little..." Su Huiniang said calmly: "After he marries me, he will only guard me for the rest of his life and will not take concubines." , do not recruit prostitutes. Even if I will never have children in my life, I will do so."

Mrs. Chen was stunned when she heard the words, and murmured: "How is this possible? Which man would agree to your request?"

"Mrs. Chen was joking. There are still many such men in the world, even my parents, don't they stay together all their lives, have they lived like this for a lifetime?"

Mrs. Chen thought, what you are talking about are poor people, men in the fields and alleys.People like us, but... Thinking of this, she suddenly realized, looking at Su Huiniang's cool eyes, it turned out that she never thought of marrying into a family like them.

Mrs. Chen has mixed feelings in her heart. Although she has a bit of a strong temper, she is not the kind to bully others. When she asked Su Huiniang out today, she really had the idea of ​​letting her die. For this reason, she secretly brewed Some conditions, even, are planned. If it is not possible, Su Huiniang will be given the status of a concubine. However, the development of the matter is completely beyond her expectation. She was told directly that it is not that she can't afford it. , but your son does not meet my selection criteria.

After a while, Mrs. Chen sighed, and said to Su Huiniang, "Good boy, you are indeed a good person. Don't blame Aunt Chen, I have my own difficulties."

"How could it be?" Su Huiniang smiled softly, and pressed Madam Chen's hands: "Madam took good care of me in the past, she is my benefactor."

"Oh, you said that, but it made me even more ashamed." Mrs. Chen said: "How about this, if you don't dislike it, I will recognize you as a goddaughter, and you and my family will walk around as relatives in the future. What do you think? ?”

"That's really Huiniang's blessing!" Su Huiniang smiled pleasantly, stood up immediately, and bowed to Mrs. Chen: "Daughter!

I have seen the godmother. "

"Good boy, get up quickly, I have another daughter from now on!" Mrs. Chen no longer saw the coldness and tension on her face, and became amiable: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything with me. Precious thing, this jade cicada was given to me by your godfather back then and I have worn it till now, so I will give it to you today."

This jade cicada seemed to be Mrs. Chen's favorite thing. How could Su Huiniang want it, so she hurriedly refused, but Mrs. Chen insisted that she accept it. In desperation, Su Huiniang could only accept it.

When Madam Chen saw that she had accepted her, a smile appeared on her face again, and she felt a little more at ease.She recognized Su Huiniang as her goddaughter, so she didn't set a name, and she didn't give her the thought of regretting it in the future. If you become my daughter, then my son will be your brother. Now that you have become brothers and sisters, you can't be a husband and wife.It can be said to be a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.

Su Huiniang didn't know about this, but she had no intention of being interested in Chen Yu. If she could break his mind and at the same time calm Mrs. Chen's mind through this move, what's wrong with that?

With the status, the relationship between Su Huiniang and Mrs. Chen became closer like lightning. The two chatted and laughed in the room for a long time and then had a fast meal together. Su Huiniang also accompanied her to listen to the Zen scriptures for a while. It was only when the sun was setting that they parted, and returned to Su's house by car with the maid, Mu Xiang.

"I really didn't expect that things would develop like this." Mother Rong sighed softly beside Mrs. Chen.

"That is a child with ambition." Mrs. Chen said with a sigh of relief: "This time we are the ones who look down on others and become villains."

"lady……"

"Okay, I know." Madam Chen sighed, and then said: "Now that the matter is up to now, let's think about how to tell Yu'er about it, that child is stubborn, and I don't know if I can accept it. "

"It's just a temporary emotional disorder of young men and women." Seeing the master's worry, Rong's mother hurriedly persuaded: "After the young master gets married and has children, he will naturally make up his mind."

"I hope so... By the way, the Lin Mansion should also hurry up. Don't let people think that our family is not sincere. Wait for a month and a half, and let someone go to hire someone....The current Earl's Mansion is We are left with two mothers, and if we can fill in the individual earlier, we can also be more lively..."

"lady……"

There are two flowers, one on each side.

A little bit forward in time, when Su Huiniang and Mrs. Chen were talking hand in hand, in another courtyard not far from their meditation room, there were also people who were troubled.

Marquis Qi of Yongping stopped the wooden fish she kept beating in her hands, and sighed a long time: "But you sent it back?"

"Ma'am, don't worry, Miss has already returned home."

When Qi heard the words, there was helplessness on the brows: "It's really a worry, you are so old, you are still so impulsive and willful, I don't know who followed!"

The confidant Xing's mother next to her laughed when she heard the words: "Look at what Madam said, if I didn't follow Lord Hou, I could only follow you!"

"Still joking." Qi stared at her: "Sister Lan will become like this, it's all because of your pampering."

Mother Xing thought to herself, isn't it you, Madam, who dotes on Sister Lan the most?

"Ma'am, you're worrying too much. Our eldest lady is a fairy-like little person, who can say anything wrong. Besides, the reason why you came here this time is not because you only brought Master Hongzhen and didn't take her with you, Madam. , That's why I became jealous, and insisted on running over to fight with you, talking about it, it's just because I'm afraid that my mother will be snatched away, and I will get a child's temper."

Mother Xing's words really made Qi happy a lot, she was such a precious lifeblood, how could she really get angry.

"That silly girl." Qi shook her head helplessly: "It's not all because of her that I did this."

"Miss will understand your painstaking efforts one day." Madam Xing said with a smile.

"By the way, madam, where is Young Master Hongzhen? Why didn't you see it?" Nanny Xing looked around the room, and suddenly frowned as if remembering something: "Could it be that you have caused trouble again?"

When Hongzhen was mentioned, Madam Qi's face obviously became pale: "It's nothing, I asked him to add some sesame oil to the master's ever-burning lamp."
