I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Shao said: "Wen Jiang's gifts were delivered quickly and early. Is there anyone who delivered earlier than you?"

"Isn't it?" Zhen Su held the bowl of soup and Su Jingzhai took it.

I had a cough a few days ago that wouldn't get better, so Zhen Su made me some rock sugar and snow pear soup. After eating it for half a month, the old illness that even famous doctors couldn't cure was cured.

He has been eating Zhen Su's health-preserving soup, and after a few months, the effect is very good.

Zhen Su filled another bowl and brought it to his uncle, "Mao Yuanniang was very generous. She gave me a valuable red jade hairpin. Seventh sister likes it very much."

Great value...

In their early years, the Mao family made their fortune in the underworld. In a nice way, they were bandits, but in a bad way, they were pirates and mountain bandits. In order to have a better life, the Mao family bought farms and shops in Yueyang Prefecture, and the family members also settled down. However, some members of the Mao family were still in the underworld and bandits. For no reason, they gave a valuable red jade hairpin, which really made the Su family father and son suspicious.

Su Balang couldn't concentrate on reading now. He looked at his grandfather and father and asked cautiously, "Cousin, do you have more soup? I'm a little hungry. Give half a bowl to my brother."

Su Qilang turned his head and looked at his brother, "This is the health-preserving soup that my cousin made for my grandfather and father. We can't eat it."

This is what Su Wulang said. Just like my cousin asked the kitchen to stew rock sugar and snow pear soup for my grandfather every night, my grandfather would cough every autumn and winter. It was said that it was a problem he had after my grandmother passed away. But after my cousin came, my grandfather's cough actually got better.

Su Balang swallowed two mouthfuls. Only adults could eat it, but they couldn’t.

Zhen Su said, "I don't eat it often, but it's okay to eat it once in a while. If Eighth Brother wants to eat it, I'll serve him a bowl. Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, do you want to eat it?"

Su Wulang said cheerfully, "I won't eat it anymore."

He was not hungry yet. How much could there be in such a small clay pot? If he ate it all, his two younger brothers would not be able to eat it.

Zhen Su took a bowl and poured the remaining health-preserving soup into two small bowls, one of which was about half a bowl.

Su Jingzhai asked: "Qi Lang, Ba Lang, have you finished your homework today? If you have, eat the health-preserving soup and go back to your room."

Su Balang quickly replied: "It's done."

Su Qillang had completed the poetry and article practice, but he had just finished reciting the poem and essay, but Su Balang clearly couldn't recite it yet, so how could he finish it? It made people think that Su Balang was just trying to be lazy when he said this.

Su Qillang was a little stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Balang's pleading look.

Su Shao said, "Qi Lang, your eighth brother has not finished his homework of reciting the article. Remember to test him later. Let him memorize it well before going to bed. The teacher will test him tomorrow."

Su Balang immediately looked desperate.

Hopeless!

His father spoke, and Seventh Brother would definitely make him memorize it before letting him go to bed.

In the past, the fifth brother supervised the seventh brother, but in recent years, it has changed to the seventh brother supervising him, which is quite like Brother Yan.

There was silence in the study.

As soon as Su Qillang and Su Balang finished their soup, Su Shao drove them back to the front yard.

Su Shao asked: "Wen Jiang didn't finish what she said just now."

Zhen Su cleaned up the dishes and put them back into the lunch box. He handed the lunch box to the little girl who came with him, closed the door, and then slowly and carefully told her what he had found out.

After hearing this, the three members of the Su family fell into silence.

Su Wulang said, "Seventh sister has been spoiled since she was young. She has a lot of precious jewelry. I heard from the maids in the mansion that her jewelry filled three large boxes, and she has four sets of high-quality jewelry. Why would she help outsiders to plot against her family just because Mao Yuanniang has a red jade hairpin?"

Su Qinniang's family has never lacked food, clothing and other necessities since she was a child, so how could it become like this?

Su Qinniang is already eleven years old. She and Su Qillang are twin siblings, a boy and a girl. However, Su Qillang looks like the older brother, so Su Qinniang has been spoiled to the point of not knowing the difference between inside and outside.

Even the nine-year-old Balang knew how to cherish his family and elders, but Su Qinnan plotted against her own family for a red jade hairpin.

Zhen Su asked, "Sister Seven, are you really going back to Beijing after joining the Pearl Society?"

The situation in the capital is complicated, and the power struggle among the princes has begun. My grandfather has finally secured an important position as a local official and wants to stay away from the capital's disputes and power struggles. It is really not worth it for him to go to the capital just for his granddaughter.

If Su Qinnan returned to Beijing and joined the Mingzhu Society, she would become more competitive with others, comparing the value of her jewelry and the price and beauty of their clothes. Once she got there, I'm afraid her character would become even worse.

A hairpin from Mao Yuanniang was enough to make her betray her sister. It would be difficult for her not to betray her family when receiving benefits promised by others.

Su Shao said, "Seventh girl just memorized a few copies of Couplets, how come she passed the test?"

It would be impossible for Su Qinniang to continue with her couplets. However, in order to support their daughter, Cui Shi and Su Shao came up with the idea of ​​asking her to memorize couplets. They also gave her four books of "Couplet Collection", which were the earliest collections of couplets in history. They collected thousands of exquisite couplets, ranging from one-word to sixty-word ones. As long as she memorized them, she could continue with the couplets.

The Su family is a large family with hundreds of years of history and has a rich collection of books.

Su Wulang said, "Father, don't you think that Mingzhu Society is like the imperial examination for children, with the examinations at the child examination, the provincial examination, and the metropolitan examination?"

As a result, according to the assessment, only those who excel in one of the many female talents can enter the Pearl Society.

Su Jingzhai seldom asked Su Qiniang about the talents and conduct of his three grandsons. Although he knew that Su Qiniang only took in money and never gave out, he thought that since she was a girl, she would not suffer any loss in the future. But who could have thought that for a red jade hairpin, she would sell her own sister and even help outsiders to plot against her own sister.

This is my personality. I can't go on like this.

Zhen Su bowed and said, "Grandfather, uncle, it's late, you should go to bed early."

That's enough. She has said what needs to be said.

My grandfather has been in the officialdom for decades, so he must have a way to deal with such a small matter as Su Qinniang.

Su Wulang said to the maid outside: "Serve the princess well!"

The eldest girl responded.

In the darkness of the night, I watched the backs of Zhen Su and his servant leaving.

Su Jingzhai asked, "Yantang, when was the last letter from the Jiangnan Su family?"

Su Shao, also known by his courtesy name Yantang.

Su Shao replied, "The last time my father wrote to the head of the Jiangnan Su Clan was three months ago. After that, I wrote a letter to the head of the Clan's wife every month."

What Su Jingzhai and his son were concerned about was the marriage of Zhen Su and Su Mo. Su Jingzhai was a proud person, so he wrote to the clan leader in a tactful way to tell him that he intended to marry his granddaughter Zhen Su to Su Mo. However, more than three months had passed, and there was no reply yet. Later, Su Shao wrote letters to the clan leader's wife, Yao, and it seemed that this matter would not succeed.

Su Jingzhai said, "Two months ago, the sect leader replied to the letter, saying that he wanted to ask the abbot of Hanshan Temple to calculate the horoscope."

It took two months to calculate the eight characters, and Su Shao asked twice in a row.

Su Wulang hesitated to speak. The Jiangnan Su family was just dragging their feet. If they didn't want to, they should just say it. What was the point of dragging it on like this? If they hadn't told the truth for several months, the Fifth Prince wouldn't have been making trouble in Yueyang Mansion, making everyone know that he liked Zhen Su.
