Chapter 265 Sister Rong is concerned
Wu Xinan was very puzzled, Pei He also put down his wine glass and looked at Su Tu. Su Tu smiled bitterly again,
"This...is the point where I ask my brother and sister for help. You and her are good sisters in the boudoir. Go and ask me why she refuses to marry me Lao Su, but I think I am old, or because I am a widower, or because I am a genius guardian, or because I am too young?"
Wu Xinan shook his head repeatedly after hearing this.
"No! Sister Rong is not that kind of person!"
Su Tu also said,
"I also know that Miss Xiao is not that kind of person, but I have been proposing three times in a row. I really can't think of what she is doing for..."
After saying that, he bowed to Wu Xinan.
"So... I'm here to bother my brother and sister!"
When Wu Xinan heard that it was this matter, it was related to Sister Rong's lifelong happiness. Naturally, she had no choice but to pat her chest and said in a row.
"Brother Su, don't worry, this matter is, I must ask you clearly and understand!"
Wu Xin'an was indeed a person who was talking and doing things. The next day he rode his horse to Sanlihe alone. He walked through the streets and alleys and asked several families before he found the Xiao family deep in the alley. Xiao Qiyue was now at home. Seeing Wu Xin'an was very surprised.
"How did Miss Wu find this place..."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered and said with a smile,
"It must be Mrs. Pei now!"
Wu Xinan looked at Xiao Qiyue who had grown a head taller with a smile. Seeing that although he was thin, his eyes were bright and energetic, it was obvious that this poor life made this former cowardly young master of the official family much more tenacious and mature.
Now, he laughed,
"I married and invited your sister before. She couldn't come if she had something to do, and we didn't have the chance to speak well. I'm here to see her if I have time today. How has Sister Rong been doing recently?"
Xiao Qiyue nodded,
"My sister is all right, but she just goes out to wash and mend clothes every day, trying her best to make money, which is really tiring!"
Wu Xinan asked again,
"Where is Sister Rong now?"
Xiao Qiyue responded,
"Today my mother and sister took their younger siblings to the street to sell osmanthus plum soup..."
After saying that, I looked at the sky,
"It's still early this time, I'm afraid I won't come back for a while!"
So I asked Wu Xin'an to come in and sit, Wu Xin'an said,
"You are studying quietly at home, but I will disturb you when I go in. It's better to go to the street to find Sister Rong..."
Xiao Qiyue nodded. He is now an adult. The lonely man and a widow are not good at living in the same room. He immediately pointed to several places for Wu Xinan.
"My mother and sister both sell plum soup in these places, you will definitely find it if you go and search!"
After Wu Xinan thanked him, he went to search. After searching on the street for a short time, he saw Xiao Guirong who was selling soup on the street. Now Xiao Guirong is wearing coarse cloth clothes, green cloth, and plain face facing the sky. Although he does not have the grace of the official lady back then, he has a smile from the bottom of his heart.
She was very surprised to see Wu Xinan.
"Sister An An, how can you have time to wander here today?"
After saying that, he asked his sister beside him to salute Wu Xinan.
Wu Xinan reached out to touch Xiao Guiyu's head and asked with a smile,
"Can aunt and brother be there?"
Xiao Guiyu responded,
"Mother and brother are selling on the street on the other side, and we are selling on the street at the end of the street..."
Wu Xinan smiled and gave her a small silver ingot.
"Go and buy ice drinks for your mother and brother to eat!"
Xiao Guiyu was leaving happily, but soon after, she came back. It turned out that she had bought five ice drinks and gave them two portions to Wu Xin'an and Xiao Guirong, and wanted to return the remaining copper coins to Wu Xin'an. Wu Xin'an smiled,
"The purse I brought today is small, so I can't put so many copper coins. You can save it for my sister. I'll treat me to ice drinks when I come another day!"
"good!"
Xiao Guiyu ran to the street happily. Wu Xinan stood up and then said to Xiao Guirong.
"I'm not wandering around here, I came to find Sister Rong!"
Xiao Guirong asked,
"Sister An An, do you have something to look for me?"
Wu Xinan's temperament has always been straightforward and nodded when he heard this.
"That's right, I'm entrusted by someone to ask Sister Rong if I have something to do!"
Xiao Guirong was stunned, and then understood, his expression became dark.
"It was Brother Su who asked you to come here?"
Seeing this, Wu Xin'an said,
"Sister Rong knew who I was entrusted, so she gave her a correct word. Do you think that Su Baihu is old, a widower, and has a young daughter at home, or do you think that he is young, or the Jinyiwei has a bad reputation, or that he is not doing anything outside for many years and can't take care of the family?"
Xiao Guirong shook her head,
"No...no, now that I dare to dislike Brother Su, it's great that Brother Su doesn't dislike me!"
Su Tu looked at the bearded man with a face full of face. In fact, he was only twenty-eight years old at the age of twenty-eight, and his youngest daughter was only four or five years old. She once saw him. He was a lively and smart little cutie. She liked him very much. As for the fact that Su Tu was young... can he still pick on other people's official positions with such a family background?
Wu Xin'an Qidao,
"That's true... Then why did Sister Rong refuse Su Baihu's proposal?"
Xiao Guirong was silent for a while, and after a long time he said slowly,
"I didn't want to say this, but Sister An An is different from me. You have the grace of saving my life and recreating me. Let me tell you the truth..."
Xiao Guirong is really a good woman. She is reluctant to leave her family. Now she has two younger brothers and one younger sister. She is determined to be able to study for the imperial examination and make a name for herself. With their current family background, it is really difficult to support two scholars. If she married, the only mother left in the family to support her younger siblings, the mother would probably work even harder. She is reluctant to leave her mother to work hard, so she can only refuse Su Baihu's proposal to marry her.
Wu Xinan suddenly realized when he heard this.
"Hey...why is this difficult... If you get married to Su Baihu, you will be a family. With Su Baihu's financial resources, it will be no problem to raise two little brothers to study. Why is Sister Rong making a difficult time because of this?"
Not to mention the Jinyiwei, the salary is good. First, it is the Emperor's Guard, second, it is the dealer, and third, it is the Grand Commander has always been good to his brothers, so it is really no problem to support a family with Su Baihu's financial resources!
Xiao Guirong bit her lip and shook her head,
"No, my mother said that you should be strong in life. She doesn't want to rely on others. She just wants to eat with her own hands. If I get married, I will be the daughter-in-law of the Su family. I can no longer care about my parents' affairs. She will naturally find ways to raise my brothers and sisters at home!"
As a mother, she naturally hopes that her children will be good. She doesn’t want her eldest daughter to break a good marriage due to the burden of her family, and she doesn’t want her daughter to marry her. She can’t raise her head in front of her son-in-law because her family eats the vernacular of her son-in-law!
She knew exactly what Mrs. Xiao had lived under her husband's tyranny for the first half of her life, so she naturally didn't want her daughter to follow her old path.
She thought about her daughter, but naturally the daughter refused to do so. She only cared about her own future and threw her mother and brothers and sisters aside to suffer.
One asked to marry, the other refused. This matter actually caused the whole family to argue several times in the Xiao family. The younger brothers and sisters asked their elder sister to marry Brother Su, and they all said that they would help their mother to support themselves, but the more they did so, the less Xiao Guirong could not leave!
Wu Xinan felt sad when he heard this.
"This Mrs. Xiao is a good woman with a solar term, and Sister Rong is also a good woman!"
Xiao Xian has such a good wife and children and doesn’t know how to cherish them, and he still has to do all the bad things. He is really worthy of death!
Thinking of Pei He and his life experience again, I couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"If I had such a family in my previous life, I would probably be like Sister Rong. I would never marry for my whole life. I would be willing to be a cow and horse for them!"
The more Xiao Guirong did this, the more Wu Xinan realized that such a good woman had missed such a good marriage. It was a pity! I thought about it all over and over again, and my big eyes flashed for a while and I smiled.
"Just asked about the reason for the matter, I went back and told Su Baihu truthfully..."
Xiao Guirong waved her hands repeatedly,
"You can't tell him the original words..."
“Why?”
"Brother Su is a good person. If he knew, I refused to marry him because I couldn't bear to let my mother and younger brothers go to school. He would definitely take all the affairs of our family on his shoulders!"
Xiao Guirong smiled bitterly,
"You may laugh at me as poor as I am so poor, and I still have to be aloof. I...only because of my family, and secondly, I really don't want to be shorter in front of him!"
She really likes Su Tu. It is because she really likes that she won’t be willing to add a stinky smell to this innocent love!
Wu Xinan nodded when he heard this.
"I see!"
After thinking about it, he asked,
"That's true, then I will tell him that you are ruthless to him, so let him choose a good companion!"
Xiao Guirong lowered her eyes and responded after a long time.
"good!"
Wu Xinan heard her tail sound trembling, and knew that she was mostly crying in her heart. She sighed secretly, but she didn't mention this matter anymore and accompanied Xiao Guirong to sell plum soup here.
She grew up in this market in her previous life. Now when she returns to this market, she feels very friendly when seeing people coming and going, noisy and lively scenes. When it comes to selling things, she is even more skillful than Xiao Guirong. She stands there, with a pleasing smile, and yells with a loud voice.
"Osmanthus plum soup! Osmanthus plum soup, fragrant and sweet Osmanthus plum soup, and plum soup that quenches thirst and cools down. Eat one bowl and two bowls and four bowls!"
She stood at the intersection of the street and shouted, which attracted the attention of passers-by. Seeing that the little lady had a pleasing face and a sweet smile, she came up to eat a bowl of plum soup, and then took the opportunity to say a few words, taking advantage of her mouth.
Xiao Guirong could only speak silently and lower his head to do things, but Wu Xinan glared at someone with his hips and scolded him,
"If you want to drink, get out of the way if you don't drink. If you have any questions, go back and tell your mother!"
Not only were the people not annoyed, but laughed, threw down two copper coins and left with a smile. Seeing this, Xiao Guirong was very envious.
