Su Yiqing felt less optimistic about the plans of Su Jinxu and others.

So what if I win the imperial examination? What does it mean to be a successful candidate in the capital?

Jiang Yuebai's face made it clear that he was the one causing trouble. The bachelor's wife or Zhang Hao himself might have planned what happened last time. He probably didn't like Jiang Yuebai's family background. But his son was in a panic and was forced to do something.

I just want to take a concubine.

But the Jiang family has taken in orphans and widowed mothers for so many years. Seeing that Jiang Yueming is about to make a career, how can they agree to let Jiang Yuebai be a concubine? She has the reputation of bullying orphans and widowed mothers and selling her nieces and nephews for glory, so she disagrees.

The bachelor's wife and one of her sons thought of simply ruining Jiang Yuebai's reputation and cooking it up. Due to the relationship between the two families, it was easy to cover up the matter.

If one plan fails, another one will probably come up, making it difficult for people to guard against it.

But seeing Su Jinxu's anxious look, Su Yiqing suddenly felt a very strange feeling, and suddenly asked: "Fifth brother, have you seen Miss Jiang?"

When asked like this, Su Jinxu's face turned red and he stammered: "I just met her once. Don't get me wrong, sister. I don't have any ideas. I...I'm not worthy of her either."

Su Jinxu's tone revealed a deep sense of inferiority.

It may not be that he is not worthy, Su Yiqing quickly weighed it in her heart. Su Jinxu may not be good at what he studied, but his appearance is not bad, although he is a little fatter, he still looks honest and loyal. Even the Xu family is not as tough as the outside rumors.

reason.

The so-called talents and beautiful women are just words, there is no such thing as perfect in the world.

Regardless of the situation of the third bedroom or Su Jinxu's own conditions, a capable daughter-in-law is needed to help support the family. Otherwise, if something happens to Mr. Xu one day, the third bedroom will be ruined.

I heard Mr. Xu say before that you don't need a wealthy family to marry Su Jinxu, but you must be capable.

I saw Jiang Yuebai's responses to her sister that day. They were very decent. He also knew how to find something to chat with her when he had nothing to say. He was obviously a smart person. Children from poor families have long been in charge. Jiang Yuebai, who is worried about his livelihood, must not

She is as innocent and noble as Miss Shen Er.

But what to say about this? He boldly ran to tell Mrs. Xu that Su Jinxu fell in love with Miss Jiang. It’s strange that Jiang Yuebai wasn’t regarded as a vixen who seduces wealthy young men.

And I still don’t know if Jiang Yuebai is willing. If she is not willing, it will not be sweet to force her to do it.

Maybe Jiang Yuebai and Su Jinxu really have a little bit of fate, and the opportunity has come.

Mrs. Xu took her brother and sister Su Yiqing back to her parents' home to visit her grandmother.

In Su Yiqing's heart, her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Zhou, was a strange woman. She was very kind to her brothers and sisters when they met several times.

Judging from the way she talks, behaves and acts, she is also an informal person.

That day Mrs. Xu went to visit her nephew, while Su Jinxu went to talk to Xu Zhe. Su Yiqing found an opportunity to hint that Mrs. Zhou wanted to talk to her alone.

Mrs. Zhou sent all the servants away and asked with a smile: "Girl Qing, do you have anything to tell grandma?"

Su Yiqing suddenly knelt down, formally kowtowed to Mrs. Zhou, and said seriously: "Grandma, my granddaughter has something to ask of me, but before I talk about it, I want my grandma to agree not to make this matter public, no matter whether she agrees or not.

.”

The smile on Mrs. Zhou's face slowly faded, and she said calmly: "I only heard that you became bolder as you grew up, but I didn't see it a few times before... Okay, I promise you, just tell me.

"

Su Yiqing told how she met Jiang Yuebai, Su Jinxu's admiration for Jiang Yuebai, and the situation of the Jiang family brothers and sisters, without hiding anything. She knew that lying in front of a person like Mrs. Zhou would only be self-defeating.

.

"I didn't expect you to have such a plan. It's such a pity. I would have known..." Mrs. Zhou stopped, and then asked again: "Given the situation in Uncle Ping's Mansion, if I can do more to help this marriage,

It is indeed a certainty. The question is how to determine Jiang Yuebai's intentions? If Mrs. Jiang and Young Master Jiang agree, Brother Xu's conditions are so-so, which is indeed better than those of the Zhang family, but Brother Xu himself is a bit more honest. Jiang Yuebai

She just wanted to grab a life-saving straw and reluctantly married to take the overall situation into consideration, but she looked down upon Brother Xu and felt aggrieved. She even felt that the Su family was taking advantage of others' danger. Do you think she and Brother Xu can be happy?"

Su Yiqing was stunned by the question. Mrs. Zhou was indeed shrewd. She immediately brought up something she had never thought of. After thinking about it, she said, "We can find a way to confirm Jiang Yuebai's intentions."

"How can you be sure?" Mrs. Zhou stared closely into Su Yiqing's eyes.

Su Yiqing said: "Ask her personally and tell her in person."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you." Mrs. Zhou said with half-closed eyes, "If you can find a way to meet Jiang Yuebai and ask her what her true intentions are, then I will believe that she and Brother Xu

The children are destined, but if they are not, it only means that they are not destined."

Su Yiqing gritted her teeth and agreed.

After returning to the room, I slowly thought about the feasibility of this matter.

Something almost happened at Zhang Xueshi's residence last time. If Jiang Yuebai was smart enough, he wouldn't go out easily again.

She couldn't use qinggong and go directly to her home to ask her questions.

After thinking about it, I couldn't think of any good solution, and I was very troubled.

At this time, Xin'er saw the opportunity and came forward again.

One person was trying to figure out the shortcomings, and two people were trying to figure out the advantages. Su Yiqing told her the crux of the matter.

Xin'er's eyes rolled around and she quickly thought of a solution. She told Su Yiqing that in the past, opera troupes went around the streets and occasionally went into the houses of wealthy families to sing operas, where they would sing for several days.

Distant relatives like Jiang Yuebai and Jiang Yueming should not have the right to live with the serious master of the Jiang family. It is very likely that they will just be given a small courtyard in the outer courtyard and live with other poor relatives or even the housekeeper. If this is the case, the access control will be

It may not be strict anymore.

It's not difficult to find a way to sneak in and say something.

It's up to her to find out where Jiang Yuebai lives. If it's easy to get in, she can ask Miss Jiang on her behalf.

This was a good idea, and Su Yiqing suddenly thought that if Su Jinxu, a foreigner, could see it, it really shouldn't be a deep mansion.

Xin'er quickly went to inquire about it.

Su Yiqing was waiting anxiously.

It was getting dark before Xin'er came back.

As soon as Su Yiqing saw her coming back, she asked anxiously: "Have you seen her?"

Xin'er nodded and said: "Yes, Miss Jiang lives in a small courtyard on the back street. I asked the old lady across the street to find out. The old lady talked a lot. They and their daughter usually do sewing for others.

To supplement the household income, it was easier to get in than expected. The slave girl observed for a while by the door and saw a woman saying that she could get in if she asked someone to do needlework. The slave girl said that the slave girl asked Aunt Jiang to do needlework a few days ago. Today, the slave girl said:

My mother was sick, so she asked me to come get needle and thread, and gave me a few copper coins. The woman who was looking at the corner door let the slave in without asking, and also pointed the yard where Aunt Jiang lives."

"After the slave girl went in, she told Aunt Jiang that she had some patterns and wanted to see if Miss Jiang could embroider them. Probably because she was young, Aunt Jiang didn't think much about it and asked Miss Jiang to cook after she came out.

After telling Miss Jiang what she said, Miss Jiang blushed but did not think about it for too long and said, Miss, you saved her life. Master Jiang often mentioned our fifth young master on weekdays, saying that the fifth young master is a good man and is now willing to marry her.

She is her great benefactor, she is extremely grateful and has no unwillingness to accept any grievance."

That's fine. Su Yiqing thinks it's good to be able to do this. It's better than blind marriage.
