from widow to dame

Chapter 75

In the inner house of the Chang Mansion, Mrs. Chang was holding her daughter's hand, talking in a rambling manner: "Then your father has already seen Su Wen, and he seems to be very satisfied. After he came back, he praised him a lot. He is young and promising."

There is no one in her daughter's family who doesn't care about her own marriage, so Chang Run'e, who always put on a prudent look, couldn't help but blushed a little, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Mother and daughter are talking about these things."

Knowing that her daughter was shy, Mrs. Chang smiled slightly, and sighed softly after a while.

Chang Run'e raised her head and blinked with some doubts.

Mrs. Chang quickly said: "Oh! I wanted you to marry Chen Yu, but who knew that the Lin family would get in the way... Meijuan and I were still sisters, but she actually chose Lin Xiuzhu as her daughter-in-law instead of you. It's really..."

"Mother!" Chang Run'e frowned and interrupted anxiously: "Where are you talking about? We have no matchmaker's agreement with the Chen family, and we have no marriage agreement. It's just Mrs. Chen's birthday celebration. Let's just join in the fun, don't say such things again."

Seeing that her daughter was in a hurry, Mrs. Chang said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay. Don't say it, don't say it."

However, it was a pity in her heart to say that.No matter how good Su Wen is, he is only from a poor family. He is no match for Chen Yu who has a title. It's just a matter of time and fate. How can she not feel sorry for her daughter missing out on this good marriage.

Seeing her mother's sad face, Chang Run'e felt quite uncomfortable, so she hurriedly changed the subject: "When Mrs. Chen passed her birthday, I met the eldest girl of the Su family, but at that time I didn't know each other well, and I didn't know each other. Speak up."

"Mother wants to tell you this too!" Mrs. Chang quickly recovered her demeanor, and said, "The Su family is different from other families, the old lady Su is not in charge, but this big girl, you must not underestimate this person, The Su family can have what it is today, all thanks to her wrist."

Immediately, he told some things about Su Huiniang, which even included part of her life in Wangjia'ao. Although it was not exhaustive, it was enough to let Chang Run'e know what kind of temperament her future eldest sister was.Chang Run'e was dumbfounded when she heard this, and after a long while, she murmured: "My daughter has been wondering for a long time, that Miss Su looks 21 and [-], why hasn't she married yet?"

"Oh! That's a woman with a hard life." Mrs. Chang sighed lightly, took her daughter's hand and said, "Although the Su family is not a wealthy family, it is better than a simple population. If you marry in the future, You just need to be respectful to your mother-in-law and get closer to your elder aunt, those two will not embarrass you. After a year or so, you will have a baby, and your position in the mansion will be secure."

"Daughter will remember what mother said." Chang Run'e nodded, her face stained pink.

"Good boy, then this marriage is settled. The Su family has already said hello on the [-]th of this month, and they will invite someone to come to propose marriage." Mrs. Chang said with a smile.For the marriage of the only daughter, she also got angry for a long time. Since she had missed Chen Yu, Su Wen had to hurry up, so she couldn't help exhorting a few words.I am very happy to see my daughter's attitude that her parents are in charge of major marriage matters.Mrs. Chang said a few more words, and then she got up and left, leaving only Chang Run'e who was sitting by the bed with idyllic eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

If not, on the [-]th day, the Su family invited a well-known official media in Shanghai to come to propose marriage, and the dowry was very generous. Chang Run'e's sisters-in-law all tsk-tsk and praised Chang Run'e Chang'e is so lucky, Chang's father and Chang's mother are very satisfied, especially Chang's mother, who almost immediately forgot about Chen Yu.Only Su Wen, who was in a milky white gown in front of him, was in his eyes. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that the other party was extraordinary, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the other party and his daughter were a match made in heaven, and his eyes immediately smiled.

The attitude is very affectionate.

Even Chang Run'e secretly glanced twice through the curtain. According to the maid beside her, the lady was alone in a daze for a long time after she returned, but the corners of her mouth were raised, she should be in a good mood.Su Wen and Chang Run'e's wedding date was officially set at the beginning of the next spring, and Su Huiniang's heart was truly relieved once this matter came to an end.

In the days that followed, she divided her mind into two purposes, half of which was spent on the operation of "Su Ji Tea House", and the other half was used on preparations for the marriage.She is going to paint the entire Su family's yard, and buy some good furniture, as well as Su Wen's new house, which is the most important thing. She has the experience of her previous life, so it's easy to get these things done.

With this busy schedule, another three months passed.

On this day, Su Huiniang sorted out the housework and said hello to Mrs. Lin, before going to the teahouse for a walk.When we arrived at the teahouse, the shopkeeper came over courteously, shouting at each owner.Su Huiniang took a look around and found that there were a lot of customers, and the business seemed to be booming.After entering the special private room, the shopkeeper brought a pot of the best Dahongpao, and stood aside with a flattering face and kept reporting.Su Huiniang flipped through the account book he handed over, from beginning to end.

"Recently, our teahouse can earn six to seven hundred taels of silver a month." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Especially the small jar of silver needle tea that you brought over, my boss. After the guests drink it, they all agree. Now one or two The tea can be sold for 700 taels of silver. Boss, do you still have any stock there?"

The "Silver Needle Tea" mentioned by the shopkeeper is actually produced in Su Huiniang's personal space. Because it is dyed with the aura inside, the quality is extremely high. Su Huiniang once brought some over as the treasure of the teahouse.

"There are..." Su Huiniang said with a slight smile.Mu Xiang beside him untied the bundle on his elbow, and took out two small jars that Heiyan had just made, "This one is still silver needle tea, while the other is rime."

The shopkeeper is also knowledgeable. When he opened it, he saw that the rime tea was plump and silver-white all over. As soon as the lid was opened, the fragrance of tea leaves came out, and he knew that this was the first-class tea. It's tea, I am happy to smile, this is not tea, this is white money~~~
After the two talked for a while, Su Huiniang waved her hand and let him go to work on his own.

After a while, she felt a little hot, so she ordered Mu Xiang to open the window, but at this moment, there were bursts of noisy voices outside the window, Su Huiniang frowned, and asked casually: "Why? gone?"

"Miss, miss, there seems to be a fight down there!!!"

Mu Xiang leaned half her body out of the window, chirping excitedly.

Following her words, the noisy sound outside really increased by three points. From time to time, there were loud screams and the sound of a human body being muffled and thrown to the ground. Su Huiniang closed the ledger in her hand, got up and walked over .

I saw "Su Ji Teahouse", surrounded by people inside and out, several young men in Chinese clothes were sitting on the horses, looking at another person opposite with horror on their faces, that person had his back to Su Huiniang , I couldn't see her face clearly, but the bright red clothes were eye-catching in a different way. For some reason, Su Huiniang felt her heart beating violently, and a familiar feeling came to her heart.

"Han Si, Zhao Wu, these trash are the helpers you two found?" The young man in red smiled enchantingly, but endless mockery and viciousness flashed in his eyes.After the two young men in Huayi heard this, their faces suddenly turned dark, and they gritted their teeth and cursed: "Yan Hongzhen, don't be so damn proud, you hurt our sworn brother, we are responsible for this debt." Definitely not going to let it go.”

"Oh, then what do you want? Just relying on these cats and dogs?" The red-clothed boy listened, and the sarcasm on the corner of his mouth deepened: "Master, I was able to abolish the grandson of the Qian family yesterday, and I can also abolish it today." You two, why, you two want to try?"

Thinking of his sworn brothers who are still lying on the bed, these two youths in fancy clothes immediately wilted. I really can't blame them for being too timid, it's because the murderous god in front of them is too cruel. Unexpectedly, he became a meat bun and beat a dog—and never came back.

"You, you wait, I'll go to the Yongping Hou Mansion to seek justice." The two youths in fancy clothes immediately decided to change their strategy, and ran away after reining in the rope.

"Come when you want, leave when you want, there is no such thing as cheap in the world." Yan Hongzhen sneered: "Leave it all to the young master."

No one saw clearly what the red-clothed boy did. Everyone felt that the white light flashed in front of them, accompanied by the miserable neighing, the front legs of the two good horses were cut off simultaneously, and blood sprayed out soaring to the sky, not only drenched Even Yan Hongzhen's body was soaked in blood after the two youths in fancy clothes.

With his head held high, he looked viciously at the two people who had been completely frightened when they rolled on the ground. He just raised his foot like that and kicked his chest. The sound of ribs breaking was heard very clearly in the eardrums.All the onlookers were frightened by the ferocious tactics of the young man in red. All of them turned pale. Under the indifferent gaze of his patrolling eyes, they scattered with a bang.

He looked like he was afraid that the murderer would be killed casually.

Without even looking at the people around him who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, Yan Hongzhen's wrist trembled slightly, and the soft sword, as thin as a cicada's wing, swished and wrapped around his waist.

There was the sound of Qiqi's footsteps rumbling, and Yan Hong really knew that it was people from Shuntian Mansion who were coming.He snorted coldly at the moment, his young master didn't intend to be caught on the spot, turned around, and got into the alley facing the street without hesitation.Qi twisted and turned many turns. The young man in red stopped abruptly, turned his head in a narrow alley with no one there, half-closed his eyes, and shouted murderously: "If you don't want to die, let me die!" Grandpa, I will get out."

With some hesitation, a pair of shoes embroidered with lotus flowers came out first, followed by a goose yellow dress, and finally the tear-stained face.

"Hui, Hui, Hui... sister..."
