The weather was getting colder. Early in the morning, the raindrops under the eaves had frozen into icicles. Looking through the morning sunlight, they looked colorful like transparent amber ice, which was delightful.
As Yan Cao walked out of the room, a piece of ice that was not frozen solid fell on her head. She was so scared that she took several steps back. Then she rubbed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly asked someone to hit the icicles with hooks for fear that they would hurt people.
After living in the manor for a few days, even Yancao and Jinping became more lively than usual. They learned from Su Yao to be extremely cautious and taciturn. They were usually very restrained people, but when they came to this manor, they didn't have to worry about anything and didn't have to think about anything. They seemed to be more energetic and vigorous.
Wang Yuerong watched from a distance and couldn't help laughing and said to Su Yao, "Look at you, girl. Normally you are cautious and mature like a mother, but now you look like a girl. Hongqiao beside me is a few months younger than her, but she is not as calm as her."
Through the window, I could see Hongqiao had also gone out and was talking and laughing with Yancao. The two of them turned around and went to look at the little rabbits surrounded by the haystacks by the fence. They were talking and laughing, their faces flushed.
Su Yao couldn't help but laugh, but she couldn't help but blame herself a little bit in her smile: "Yeah, it's really hard for them."
Wang Yuerong turned around and glared at her. "I don't like you to say such things. What's so difficult about it? Since she is your eldest daughter, she will naturally share your life and death, honor and disgrace. We may be a little unlucky, but we treat them with all our hearts. We can just believe it in our hearts. Thinking too much will only make things worse."
She always spoke with such logic and evidence, especially after coming to the manor, all the gossips were cut off, and her personality became even more lively and unrestrained.
She was very busy these days, taking Su Yao to the back mountain to hunt rabbits and dig out squirrel nests. At night, she took Su Yao to make a fire and roast lamb in the martial arts field in front.
The more she relaxed day by day, the more Wang Yuerong felt that what happened between Su An and Xie Mujun was God's grace.
"Su An is not to mention. He is a person who can't even tell right from wrong. Xie Mujun is also indecisive. I look down on both of them." Wang Yuerong suddenly sighed, listening to the laughter outside. Thinking that such days would not last long, she suddenly felt depressed: "What's the benefit of getting married? Let's talk about my sisters-in-law. My mother is already a good mother-in-law, but there are a lot of people to take care of. Everyone has a different temper. My eldest sister-in-law is busy like a top every day. Even so, it is inevitable that she will offend people in the midst of busyness."
Once you get married, you don’t have to think about your own joys and sorrows.
She has to visit her parents every morning and evening, set rules, and manage the household. Even if she doesn't manage the house, she still has to take care of her own yard. If she has a good husband and few concubines at home, then it's better. Otherwise, the house will be even more chaotic.
Wang Yuerong patted Su Yao on the head and asked her, "What are your plans for the future? Yaoyao, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it now."
Su Yao didn't expect Wang Yuerong to have such an idea. Just when he was wondering whether he should tell Wang Yuerong about his grandmother's intention, he heard Wang Yuerong ask this.
She subconsciously said, "Of course I can tell."
During these days of living together, they have become much closer than before, and of course there is nothing to hide.
Wang Yuerong suppressed the smile on her face and closed the window, saying calmly, "Do you know why I kept writing to you to invite you over?"
Without waiting for Su Yao to answer, she said, "There are people in the capital who want to climb up the social ladder and follow the path of the emperor's eldest grandson. They all regard you as a strong rival. I know you understand this."
Thinking of this, Su Yao couldn't help but laugh: "I understand, but those people are wrong. I don't have that idea."
To be honest, Wang Yuerong's fear of getting married was only acquired through influence from her surroundings, but in her previous life, she was truly trapped in a cage for her entire life.
I put a lot of effort into maintaining a home, but in the end it was all in vain.
She was not even treated as a human being. To her, even if the other party was Xiao Heng, getting married was an extremely terrifying thing.
Unexpectedly, before she even said anything, she already knew everything in her mind. Wang Yuerong was a little surprised, but then she was completely relieved: "That's good. It's okay to marry into an ordinary family. Even if the other party is not good, but her background is here, at least there is room for many things to fight for. Marrying into the royal family..."
She stopped talking and urged Su Yao to change into his coat and cloak: "Shall we go roast venison today? My brother sent some venison over, let's go take a look at the front."
Young Master Wang felt that his sister came to the villa in Tongzhou to avoid disaster and felt it was too unfair, so he often sent gifts to her.
Su Yao thought about it and didn't say the probing words. He went back behind the screen to change his clothes, and followed Wang Yuerong out.
Who knew that just as she walked under the plum tree, a mother came running over in a hurry: "Miss Su, a servant came to your house and said he has something important to discuss with you."
Is there something important, servant
Su Yao immediately knew that it was Ruan Xiaojiu who had returned, and said gently, "Mom, please take him to the open pavilion in front for me. I'll go over to see him."
The mother looked at Wang Yuerong hesitantly, and only after seeing Wang Yuerong nodded did she agree that she was out doing something.
Wang Yuerong said, "I'll wait for you outside. Come over when you're done."
Su Yao turned around and went to the Changxuan, where Ruan Xiaojiu was already waiting. When she saw her, she hurriedly called her "Miss" and bowed.
Su Yao waved his hand and didn't ask any questions first, but just asked: "Is your sister's marriage going well?"
Ruan Xiaojiu's sister is engaged. People of their status usually don't have to be so particular. The two families just sit down and get married, and it's considered done.
But it was different for his sister. Su Yao had already given him forty taels of silver, specifically for his sister, which caused a sensation in the entire alley.
The man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and he treated his sister like a treasure.
Therefore, Ruan Xiaojiu smiled sincerely, "It went smoothly, thanks to the young lady's consideration for us. Now everyone knows that the young lady values me, and my family's life will not be too bad in the future. It is the young lady who made me. My parents told me to kowtow to the young lady and thank her for her reward, saying that they kowtowed to you outside."
"That's because you've done your job diligently." Su Yao praised him and asked what he should have asked long ago: "Have you found out what I want to ask?"
