Da Suining

Chapter 169

Mrs. Xiang didn't like Guo Cheng at first.

It seemed that Xiang Daying couldn't hold Guo Kai's thigh to climb up the pole, and Xiang's family was about to finish.

Alarmism.

Mrs. Xiang snorted: "If you had planned to come here earlier, I'm afraid you should have been made a marquis and a minister. Suining is just an ordinary child. It's not fair to her to make her sacrifice so much."

"Mother, there is nothing very fair in this world."

"I don't care about other people's father-in-law being unfair, but if Suining is unfair, I don't obey, so give up as soon as possible."

amount.

melancholy.

Mrs. Xiang is different from a small family woman. She has a broad vision and can focus on the overall situation. This makes Xiang Daying admire, and it is also the reason why he came to the backyard.

He thought Mrs. Xiang would join him in the united front. In the matter of Xiang Suining's marriage to Guo Kai, they pushed the flames and found a sunny day to make a fuss, and it was done.

If this can really be achieved, the fate of the Xiang family will be closely related to Guo Kai, and for the Xiang family, there will be an extra layer of protection.

To Prime Minister Daying, a son-in-law is not considered one of his own, even a daughter, and being married is like pouring water.

So whether Guo Kai is a good husband, lustful and incompetent, or has other problems, even if his mouth is crooked, his actions can't take care of himself or he can't behave humanely, it doesn't matter.

It's good that he is the second prince.

He is the second prince, this fact cannot be changed.

This point is fundamental and most important.

Xiang Daying believes that a woman in Xiang's family must understand the general situation and the overall situation.

All their lives they have lived for the Xiang family, for the glory of the Xiang family, sacrifice is nothing.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xiang's heart is full of Xiang Suining, and she doesn't care about the overall situation.

As long as Yu Xiang Suining is unfavorable, the overall situation is not worth mentioning.

Mrs. Xiang was wayward, and Xiang Daying began to mobilize Xiang Suining.

His mother's way won't work, and he doesn't dare to persuade her, but since Suining was born by him, he thinks that he can handle it, just like handling a persimmon on the hill after autumn, it is soft, and there is a hole when you squeeze it.

Xiang Suining's handwriting is very serious.

In other words, because Xiang Daying was present, he dared not stop writing no matter what. Once he stopped, Xiang Daying might talk to her.

Xiang Daying first moved the candlestick farther away, and sure enough, the copybook was much darker, and it was a little troublesome to look at.

"It's so late, the second girl is still working hard, let's take a rest."

Xiang Suining had no choice but to put down the brush.

The ink of the brush was not dry yet, and when I put it into the inkstone, a drop of it dripped onto the copybook. The copybook I wrote so hard made my wrists feel sore, and this drop of ink wasted all my previous work.

Xiang Suining felt it was a pity, wanted to wipe something, but couldn't find something convenient for a while, when he hesitated, the ink had already penetrated the back of the paper.

"It's just a copybook, it's okay." Xiang Daying stared at Xiang Suining very gently: "The second girl seems to be taller than last year, and her little face is also ruddy. , she looks more and more like her mother, and it is very attractive, especially the side face when writing, it is more similar."

Xiang Suining was a little cautious.

When Xiang Daying met her in the past, he probably didn't have any thoughtful words. Sometimes, he would just whip him with a whip. Although she was older now, Xiang Daying tried to restrain his temper and would not wave his whip easily. Xiang Suining still can't forget it.

Maybe he was a bit more aggressive, Xiang Suining would be at ease.

Su Momo brought a bowl of red date soup and handed it to Xiang Suining herself.

"This red date soup was cooked for the girl by the old lady. It was boiled in a casserole for two hours. Only this bowl of soup was boiled out of a casserole. I heard people say that this red date soup is the best for sleeping. , after the second girl drinks, she will definitely be able to sleep well tonight and relieve the tiredness of practicing copybooks."

Madam Su is always so caring.

The jujube soup she boiled is dark red, with a strong smell of ripe jujubes. In the jujube forest, even the breath is sweet.

Xiang Suining gently scraped the red date soup with a white porcelain spoon.

"Girl, hurry up and use some. The temperature is just right now. If it's cold today, this jujube soup won't taste good when it's cold."

Xiang Suining took a spoonful of red date soup and drank it slowly.

She lowered her head to drink the soup, but she was silently observing Xiang Daying's movements.

"Mother really cares about Suining. This red date soup is the best made in Mother's kitchen. I haven't tasted it for many years."

Mrs. Xiang was twisting the red beans in a rustle, picking them up one by one, and putting them back, as if she was listening to Xiang Daying, but her eyes were only on Xiang Suining, full of love.

"Suining." Xiang Daying stood up, walked behind Xiang Suining with his hands behind his back, and said earnestly: "You are not too old now, and in a few years, if you don't marry, your parents will go to jail. Why dad Look, you don't seem to be in a hurry? You child."

"Second Miss is drinking jujube soup. If you have something important to say, speak slowly." Mrs. Xiang urged.

Xiang Daying had no choice but to sit back and wait patiently for a while, Xiang Suining finally finished the red date soup.

Xiang Suining was also a little helpless.

She originally wanted to drink the jujube soup slowly, but Xiang Daying couldn't wait, so she probably left.

Who knew that Xiang Daying seemed to be nailed to a brocade stool, she drank the soup while he waited.

no way.

A small bowl of jujube soup can't be drunk until dawn.

always have to face.

There is no escape.

"Suining, what do you think of the Second Prince Guo?"

"Why did Dad ask this again?"

"Father is afraid that others will get there first."

"As for Guo Kai's character, if someone gets ahead, I have to thank her." Mrs. Xiang interjected silently.

"Suining, what do you think about your marriage?"

"But it's up to the parents to decide."

Xiang Daying really doubted that the jujube soup was ecstasy soup, but after Xiang Suining drank it, he was so obedient.

She was timid and stubborn when she was a child, like a donkey that couldn't be pulled.

I remember that there was a hole in the calligraphy and painting in Xiang Daying's room, and Xiang Suining happened to be passing by. He suspected that Xiang Suining had broken it, so he dragged her to inquire, threatened her again, and said that he would forgive her if he told her to be honest. Just hang up and fight.

Xiang Suining was terrified on the spot, but she firmly refused to admit it, and locked her in the firewood room. She didn't eat for two days and two nights. Life, isn't this stupid?Is it that difficult to say a soft word?Really stubborn.

Now Xiang Suining is too soft, look at the answer just now, Xiang Daying is delighted to hear it.

"Suining, father knows that since childhood, father has been a strict father, like your mother...you don't have a loving mother, so your temper is a bit unpleasant, and you can forgive it."

Xiang Suining wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, sat upright with his hands on his knees, and listened to Xiang Daying fooling her.

"However, you are not outstanding in our family, but the emperor likes you, isn't it just your luck? Our family has been accumulated for hundreds of years. Although it has been a long time, but in father's generation, it is only a second rank Speaking of which, a second-rank official is not small, but Suining, dad, a second-rank official, has no real power. He just polishes the emperor's pen, or writes manuscripts, and occasionally supervises an official. Let's take a good look at Dad."

Madam Su brought Xiang Daying a bowl of tea, and he raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp: "Father's generation is fine, look at your younger brother Guoxin, this kid has been studying in the study since he was a child, and the master there , are the most famous in Xuanguo, but look at him, he is not good at reading, not good at martial arts, anyway, he can’t eat anything, and he can’t do anything. He is such a fool, when he grows up, can Another thing to say about getting fame and fame is that at that time, you may not even have the ability to gain a foothold in the court. If there is such a day, what will our Xiangjia do? Surely, he, a worthless child, can keep our Xiangjia safe?"

"Father, don't worry too much." Xiang Suining persuaded him, "The emperor killed Zhou Sheng because of Zhou Sheng's personal reasons. Father don't need to be too afraid."

"You are so young, how can you understand your father's good intentions? Now that the emperor has taken a fancy to you, let's hurry up and marry Guo Kai. Isn't it the best of both worlds? If the emperor regrets it someday, with your status, How can you marry into such a family?"

"Father—" Xiang Suining lowered his head.

In the last life, Xiang Daying did not plan too much for Xiang Suining's lifelong events.

Xiang Suining and Guo Kai don't have much to do with each other.

Now Xiang Daying insists on putting Xiang Suining in Guo Cheng's arms, but Xiang Suining refuses.

But in Xuanguo, the marriage of children has always been the order of the parents, the matchmaker's words, and Xiang Suining's verbal resistance are useless.

A shadow flickered under the window, and quickly shrank back.

Hearing Madam Su who was beside Madam Xiang go out and say a few words, she came back after a while.

"Xiaoniang asked Miss Chunyu to send a message, saying that the night is late and the dew is heavy, please go back and rest."

What a lifesaver.

Xiang Suining secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't for the call from the front yard, I don't know how long Prime Minister Daying would have to sit.

"I'm sleepy too." Mrs. Xiang covered her mouth and yawned.

Xiang Daying had no choice but to back out without further ado.

Through the door curtain, Xiang Suining heard Xiang Daying asking the maid who was guarding the corridor: "Where is Chunyu who sent the message?"

"Miss Chunyu said she would go back and answer, so she went to the front yard."

"I didn't bring a lantern with me, it's a mess." Xiang Daying lifted his robe and stepped down the steps.

As soon as Xiang Daying left, everyone felt relaxed, and felt that the muscles and bones in the whole body were loose.

Xiang Suining stretched his waist, Mrs. Xiang happily drank another cup of tea, and asked Su Momo to take out her privately kept chess, and put the white pieces on Xiang Suining's side, and the black pieces beside her: " Come, play two games of chess with grandma."

"Isn't grandma sleepy?"

"I said that specifically to your father, otherwise he would not leave, and Aunt Tang would become suspicious if he stayed in my old woman's room for a long time, so it's better to drive him away, we are at ease."

Xiang Suining picked up a white chess piece, this chess piece is made of jade, it is very warm, not cold between the fingers, but has a smooth touch.

Xiang Suining dropped one, and Mrs. Xiang followed. The two played very slowly, without rushing.

After all, Mrs. Xiang has played chess all her life, and her chess skills are superb. How can a kid like Xiang Suining compare to her.

After Xiang Suining walked a few steps, he was forced into a poor alley by Mrs. Xiang.

There is no way forward, no way back.

"Grandmother, it looks like I'm going to lose." Xiang Suining moved the chess, but didn't make it for a long time, wherever he landed, it was a dead move.

Mrs. Xiang put the sunspot back into the clay pot, reached out her hand, and grabbed Xiang Suining's thin wrist: "Grandmother will not let you be in danger, Suining, as long as grandma is here, even if grandma spells out an old die..."

"grandmother……"

"You don't have to take your father's words to heart. If you don't listen to him, what else can he do to you?"

"Yes, Grandmother." Xiang Suining put Bai Zi into the clay pot and sat leaning against Mrs. Xiang.

The moonlight outside the window is brighter, it doesn't seem like a night, but like a day.

The gray-blue sky was high and quiet, with a full moon, white without any impurities, as if soaked in water.

That moon is so nice, it must have no worries at all.

You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you don't have to be forced to do something you don't like or marry someone you don't like.

"Grandmother read some books back then, and I still remember a poem written like this." Mrs. Xiang was leaning against the window, her face was reddened by the dancing candlelight, and the wrinkles on her face became deeper and more. There are a few, but her voice is so high-pitched: "The golden hairpin fell to the ground and piled up clouds, never heard of it since the Emperor Chaoyang sent a concubine to live in peace, and I don't know where to use the general."

"grandmother……"

"In the eyes of grandma, you are just a weak woman. Those who fight and kill, build a family and start a business should be done by men. With your father, you are determined. It's not your turn to sacrifice for the family. You understand grandma. mean?"

"Suining understands."

"Don't change your original intention just because of your father's one or two soft words. You must know that your life will not be good in the future, and your father will not be able to suffer for you. At that time, you will become someone else's family. It's hard to say whether you can come back, who remembers the sacrifice you made for Xiang's family?"

Mrs. Xiang is very considerate.

If one day, Xiang Suining wants to go back to her mother's house to find some support, I'm afraid Tang Xiaoniang and her party will close the door first, so as not to let outsiders see the joke.

It was already midnight when he came out from Mrs. Xianglao's place.

For some reason, writing and writing and drinking tea in Mrs. Xiang's room, the time passed quickly, like running water moistening things, and it passed without knowing it.

It's getting cold.

The crickets in the small garden in the backyard also began to chirp, their voices were clear and melodious, and the sound of "squeak" could be heard far away in the late autumn night.

Although it is not full of flowers in summer, there are still deep vegetation on both sides of the path passing through the garden, and the skirts are slightly swaying, splashing a few leaves. In the middle of the night, dewdrops have accumulated on the leaves, and the dewdrops will fall when the leaves swing.

Mingzhu had already returned to her room and took the cloak for Xiang Suining to tie, and she carried a small lantern to guide the way.
