Chapter Twenty-Nine
Looking at her daughter's current situation, Mrs. Jiang regretted that the marriage was concluded too hastily.
What Mr. Su Er did was even more chilling to her. During the marriage exchange, he didn't say a word. After his daughter got married, he kept asking her to go to Kangjun Prince's Mansion, asking Juan'er to tell the prince that his current official position was not good.
, it would be best if you could help move the position.
How old is the prince? How can he have a say in the important affairs of the court? It is not up to Prince Kang. As a result, Prince Kang not only did not help, but also added insult to injury and gave his official position during the event to an official who sent him beauties.
He became a laughing stock.
Mr. Su Er became angry because of his embarrassment, blaming Mr. Jiang for being troublesome and causing discord between his brothers. Now that the eldest brother is standing by and watching his affairs, it is all Mr. Jiang's fault.
Poor parents in the world, Jiang had no choice but to go to Mrs. Cen. Mrs. Cen was very busy with Su Yirong's marriage. All the dowry she prepared before was given to Su Yijuan, and later she gave a large amount to Su Yiqing.
Now in a hurry, Su Yirong is asked to prepare another one, which should not be less than Su Yijuan's before. Otherwise, not only Dafang is dissatisfied, even the Yongxiang Marquis Mansion will also have objections.
Mrs. Cen didn't have enough money on hand. When she saw Mr. Jiang coming, she asked her to take some money to add makeup to Su Yirong.
How could Mrs. Jiang be so willing? When they exchanged marriage, Mrs. Qu pretended to be ill and did nothing else. The dowry prepared by her eldest brother for Su Yirong was all taken back, and Mrs. Cen didn't care either. She was in a hurry and had to use her own dowry and
I made up for it with private money, but even so, I still couldn't buy some things. What was insufficient could only be made up with money, and then I scraped together a dowry that was affordable.
Now she is asked to use money to add makeup to Su Yirong. How can she be willing?
After hesitating and evading for a while, Mrs. Cen was annoyed. During this period, everything was not going well and her temper had grown a lot. She immediately told Mr. Jiang with a sullen face that if she didn't come up with the money this time, what would happen to the second house in the future?
Don't come to her.
Thinking that Mrs. Cen had to deal with Su Yijuan's affairs, Jiang had no choice but to grit her teeth and take out a sum of money.
Only then did Mrs. Cen give her a good look.
However, after Mrs. Jiang tactfully told her about Su Yijuan's situation, Mrs. Cen's face immediately darkened again and she directly said that she was not capable of taking care of the matter.
Jiang's secret behind her back could not be hidden from anyone. Before the marriage change, her natal sister-in-law went back and forth between Kangjun Prince's Mansion and Yuanping Bo's Mansion several times in one day, which was also seen by those who were interested.
Mrs. Cen knew what was going on after a moment's thought. She hated Mrs. Jiang in her heart, and she also didn't like Su Yijuan very much. Su Yijuan had been living with her parents in other places for many years, and the time she spent with her was not as good as other sisters. Mrs. Cen
Madam is also a person who likes to express her anger in everything.
It's true that she hopes Su Yijuan will have a good life, but she doesn't want to waste any more thoughts on her, and she really has no energy. As far as the current situation is concerned, Kangjun Prince's Mansion is not a place where she can point fingers, and teach Jiang a lesson.
It's okay, marriages between wealthy families are not so easy.
While Uncle Pingyuan's mansion was busy preparing for the wedding, Su Yiqing was still ignored in the small courtyard.
Xin'er saw the opportunity and told her the gossip in the house. By sharing the troubles with Su Yiqing, she dared to tell other people's maids. At the same time, she was also very smart and knew how to cover up. She would only join in when no one was around.
Stepping forward to talk, to outsiders, Su Yiqing didn't treat her as kindly as the other maids.
Su Yiqing felt that it might be too much to apply the actor's meaningless words to Xin'er, but to be fair, the uncle's house treated this girl well. Her food and clothing were better than those of a young lady from a small family, and the work she did was just upright.
Light tasks such as pouring tea and water, as well as slightly cumbersome tasks such as sprinkling water and sweeping the floor, all have rough hands.
Xin'er, on the other hand, looked at the misfortune of the uncle's house and the people in the house. Her happy demeanor made people feel a little uncomfortable, but then she thought about it, the sisters who were like relatives jumped into the well for no reason.
The master doesn't take the little maid's life seriously. He rewards her with something when she is happy. Once she makes a mistake, whether intentional or not, she is sent away like a pig or a dog. This is really chilling.
With such tangled emotions, Su Yiqing didn't know how to treat Xin'er. Logically speaking, Xin'er was smart and smart, so it would be best to have her as a confidant, but people who are too smart always lack loyalty and tend to make their own decisions. After thinking about it,
It's better to let nature take its course and treat her like an ordinary maid, as if she doesn't know Xin'er's true identity.
Soon, August is here. The eighth day of August is a good day for the eldest lady Su Yirong to get married, and the mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
At the same time, there is another happy event. The eldest son of the mansion, Su Jinfeng, the eldest son of Mr. Su, is back.
There is a very strange rule in Yuanping's Mansion, but Su Yiqing thinks it is very enlightened. After the age of seven, all men move to the outer courtyard to live. They are uniformly invited to have a master to teach them, and they can learn literature or practice martial arts. They are not allowed to go in all day.
Mix with the sisters in the inner courtyard to avoid being exposed to too much makeup.
As for Brother Ming, that is, Su Jinming actually moved to the outer courtyard, but Mrs. Cen was old and missed her grandson, so she always called him over from time to time to stay for a few days to be his wife.
The reason why Mrs. Xu had no time to take care of Su Yiqing before was because Brother Xu moved to the outer courtyard and had to supervise Brother Xu's studies every day. The round trip was very time-consuming.
Mrs. Cen has a distinguished position in the uncle's house, and she has raised Brother Ming. She wants Brother Ming to show his filial piety, and no one else can say anything.
Later facts proved that the rules set by our ancestors were good, and if they were broken, trouble would easily occur.
There are many ladies and maids in the inner courtyard, as well as many young and beautiful aunts. If you are not careful, it is easy for some scandals to happen.
The responsibility for this matter lies with Mrs. Cen, and it has become a thorn in Mrs. Cen's heart. She no longer dares to invite her grandson to stay with her all day long.
When Su Yiqing came through, all the sons-in-law in the mansion had reached the age of ten and had moved to the outer courtyard. They had only met her once during the holidays, so they were not familiar at all. As for the sons-in-law born by her aunt, she did not like them.
Leave it to the nanny to take care of each small courtyard.
Therefore, in Su Yiqing's heart, the presence of the princes in the uncle's house is really weak.
The others were okay, she had met them a few times, but she had never seen Su Jinfeng because before she came across, Su Jinfeng went to study in an out-of-town academy.
I heard that it is because of the glamorous world of Beijing and the prevalence of extravagance that young gentlemen are easily dazzled and have no intention of studying. It is better to send them to other places' academies.
Many well-known academies in other places have very rigorous teaching and strict control. In addition, most of them are in the mountains, so there is no place to go if you want to be romantic and happy.
Su Jinfeng had been away for several years, and he only returned home twice in the process. He still came and went in a hurry. Within a few days of staying, Su Yiqing, a sister living next to him, never got to see her again.
This time Su Jinming came back to prepare for the exam next year and also to marry his sister.
