The summer solstice has not yet arrived, and the weather in late spring has a bit of the fickle atmosphere of summer. It was sunny for a while in the morning, and it gradually turned cloudy in the afternoon. Pedestrians on the streets of Jiangning looked hurried, and the housewives put away the clothes that were drying in the courtyard and waited in the courtyard for raindrops that might fall.
The Su family's mansion was also filled with haze. Although it was invisible on the surface, the depression that was about to rain shrouded one courtyard after another. Yesterday, Ning Yi's uproar, coupled with Su Yu's use of the opportunity to play on the topic, brought too many changes to the family. This change had a lot of clues from the beginning, but it broke out unexpectedly. Ning Yi's toughness and Su Yu's early closing of the network caught Su Zhongkan, Su Yunfang and others by surprise. The power of the second and third bedrooms must have been handed over, and many resources of the Su family must be concentrated on Su Tan'er. However, Su Yu made up his mind so quickly that these things were really pressing before his eyes.
The internal situation of the Su family was originally delicate, and it was not a three-pointed situation. Although it was divided into three families at the beginning, most of the power was not dispersed after all. Whether it is business or family property, Su Zhongkan, Su Yunfang and these people do not have enough strength and courage to split the family, but Su Yu intends to let them withdraw from the historical stage of the Su family and completely determine the dominance of the big house. There is also their own industry. Even if the branches and leaves are scattered, Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang will not leave the core circle and become a complete side branch, but in the current round, they really lose the most crucial one. The game is over.
Originally thought, maybe the blood in the big room is thin. Su Wenxing and the fourth generation of the Su family may have enough people to support the heavy responsibility of the Su family, but now Ning Yi and Su Tan'er are so powerful, for them, this hope has become extremely slim. .
The second room and the third room tried to make Su Yu change his mind at the last moment, or buy some buffer time. Principals like Su Yu are already considering who can be completely eliminated from the competition queue. The situation is not lively, in this cloudy day. A lot of things are also lurking in a serious atmosphere and undercurrent. If it is an outsider, only those small merchants who come to Su's house every day to deliver vegetables and meat or collect night incense can vaguely perceive that the atmosphere of Su's house is different from the past. Occasionally ask. The answers they got were all vague, because most of the Su family's servants probably couldn't see the situation clearly at this time.
Except for the panicked two-party three-bedroom. The big house of the Su family, who had successfully passed the test in yesterday's incident, also seemed a little dignified at this time. Not only is there silence on Su Tan'er's side, and Su Boyong's side has not had any major reaction to this day, but even some shopkeepers or stewards belonging to the big house are not talking about this victory today, but secretly pondering. Another thing that pushed the origin of this matter: did Ning Uncle have an ambiguous relationship with the brothel woman? Or: what will happen to the attitude of the second lady.
This matter has already passed on the bright side, and it is impossible for the second and third rooms to mention it. At this time, everyone in the big room can finally put it in front of their eyes to take a closer look and analyze it a little. in a sense. While the conspiracy led by Su Wenxing for the second and third rooms of the Su family went bankrupt, the negative impact of this incident still appeared.
After all, Su Tan'er gave birth to a child. It was when a woman was most vulnerable and needed the care of her husband, but her husband reported such a thing. After all, Ning Yi did not make a positive account of this matter - it can be said that he felt it was unnecessary. But it can also be understood that there is such a thing, but it was covered up by Uncle Ning in a beautiful way. Now that Ning Yi's ability and importance are increasingly recognized by everyone, the relationship between him and Su Tan'er, how to obtain mutual understanding and tacit understanding, has become the most concerned issue for everyone.
In such a silence and speculation, as a party. Still reacted immediately. However, although neither husband and wife are passive, the sudden decision made by Su Tan'er surprised Ning Yi to some extent.
It was still in the afternoon, and when she was called into the room, Su Tan'er was leaning on the bed and looking at a list of the second and third bedrooms of the Su family. Although she just gave birth to a child, it is not a traumatic thing after all. It is said that some rural women go to work in the field the same day they give birth to a child. Su Taner is in good health. It doesn't matter if you use your brain. The arrangement of the people in the second room and the third room was led by Su Yu. She just looked at it casually. After Xing'er came in, she looked down for a while, but she was obviously thinking about other things.
Xing'er poured her a glass of water, she took a sip and asked after a while, "Where's your husband?" Before she got out of bed, her voice was a little weak.
"It seems... the master told him to come over."
"Oh." Su Tan'er nodded, let go of the list in her hand, and thought about it for a while with the teacup before she said: "Xing'er, you will find Juan'er later, you go out in the afternoon and do something for me. ."
"OK."
While thinking about things and making decisions, Xing’er could see that Su Tan’er had always responded with the attitude of dealing with the market at this time, but this time the feeling was quite different. She was obviously hesitating, but finally she was still uncertain. Mood smiled: "I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but... you go out to find that girl Nie later, and give her a message for me, just say... If you are free tomorrow, invite She went to the residence for a chat. Myolie, you have to be polite..."
Xing'er hesitated for a moment: "That girl Nie..."
"It's that girl Nie Yunzhu Nie." Su Tan'er smiled. Xing'er looked at her smile, and then nodded: "Oh, I, I know..."
Su Tan'er was silent for a moment, and then added: "This is a private invitation, Xing'er, please arrange it. You don't need to come in secret, but don't let the people in the mansion disturb Miss Nie, apologize or something, it's not necessary for now, those people If you have bad intentions, it will only make people embarrassed. I also told her that it's just me and her seeing each other, and there will be no other people. Also... It's better not to let the husband know, just tell her like this... "
"Yeah." Xing'er nodded, "But the uncle's side... If that girl Nie came to the mansion, he would know after all..."
"Just don't know for a while... Actually, it doesn't matter if you know." Su Tan'er smiled complicatedly and weakly, "Xiang Gong actually can't guess what I'm going to do."
Xing’er nodded and waited beside her for a while. Seeing that Su Tan’er had no further orders, she was about to go out and call Juan’er over. After taking two steps, he turned around again, gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, in fact, the uncle's character has always been bright and upright, since he said it in front of those people... Said that girl Nie is a virgin, presumably That's right. The maid thinks, the maid thinks... The relationship between the young lady and the uncle has always been very good. If you listen to those people, then, just... "
Xing’er and Su Tan’er are like sisters, but it’s not good for a maid to talk freely about matters between the masters. Among the three maids, her temper is relatively straightforward. She blurted out these words. . But Su Tan'er wouldn't mind. She sat on the bed, rubbing the teacup with her hands, then turned around and smiled at her. After a while, she looked at the window beside her, and said faintly:
"I also know Xianggong's temperament. He disdains lying to those people in the family. When I called that girl Nie here, I didn't want to question her as a big woman, or give her something to look good. But... Xing'er, I'm not thinking about these things..." She paused, "In the past, I asked Xianggong to participate in those poetry and literary gatherings, and let him make friends with those talented people... Even if it is a beautiful woman, that's fine. Xianggong's literary grace, some people It's very easy to fall in love with him. Our four big courtesans in Jiangning, Miss Qilan and the others, if their husbands wanted to, they would have been passed on many times... That's nothing... "
She said nothing, but her tone was a little lower, probably something. Then he continued: "But Xianggong didn't mess with them at all... Only when he was in Hangzhou, the owner of Liu Xigua and Liuzhai fell in love with Xianggong. Xianggong may also appreciate her, but that kind of appreciation. , I can't understand it. My husband is good enough to me and you. I rarely see any man like him. But because of this, it is this girl Nie, I don't know. What should I think about…”
"She and Xianggong knew each other a long time ago, and Xianggong taught her to open a shop and became friends with her. How does she see Xianggong, and how does Xianggong see her..." She smiled bitterly, "Xing Son, I don't dare to ask about these things, and I don't want to test the husband. That girl Nie... She has been in the brothel for so many years, and she can protect herself like a jade and redeem herself. Maybe it's the same person who can get the husband's approval... "
Su Tan'er shook her head: "Actually... In fact, now I don't know how I feel about that girl Nie, and I don't want to try my best to guess at the husband. Maybe I have to meet each other before I know what I feel in my heart. What do you think..."
After Su Tan'er finished speaking, Xing'er called Juan'er not long after. I went to an informed steward to inquire about the address of the girl Nie, and went all the way to find it. It was overcast, the road by the Qinhuai River still had traces of yesterday's slapstick, and the small building that had been smashed in many places had not been repaired. Although there seemed to be some guards near the door, they did not stop her. I knocked on the door in the past, and then I saw the girl Nie Yunzhu and Nie.
When she was at home earlier, she heard what the lady said, and she was also a little curious about this girl Nie. And until she told all the words and was sent out from the small building, Xing'er was also thinking about how this girl Nie could be such a quiet and elegant woman, and she vaguely felt that if Miss Nie would meet her tomorrow, I am afraid Not necessarily a good thing.
But she's just a maid, after all, she still can't think about it...
