prisoner in the door

In ancient times, women usually began to discuss marriage when they were thirteen or fourteen years old, and married when they were fifteen or sixteen. Those who were over ten or seventy-eight years old were considered old girls (the key point is that the law at that time stipulated that unmarried girls after a certain age had to pay taxes. After a long time, even wealthy families They all feel that it is too late for a girl to wait until she is seventeen or eighteen years old to get married), so the girl from the Su family should be around thirteen or fourteen years old.

Mrs. Su's performance was indeed pitiful, but looking at the attitudes of the ladies in this room, this Miss Su could not get any good.

Looking at Mrs. Su again, Mo Zhenzhen had reason to suspect that she did it on purpose, or to be more precise, she probably didn't care about these things anymore.

Mo Zhenzhen expressed her humanitarian sympathy for Mrs. Su's experience, and then the rest was just measurement.

Mo Zhenzhen is weighing Mrs. Su's suitability to be her next step on the ladder.

But in the end, Mo Zhenzhen gave up.

Even if it was just a step up the training ladder, Mo Zhenzhen still had to consider practicality. Su Shilang's official position was still too low.

Just when Mo Zhenzhen was about to end the topic about Mrs. Su and talk about something else to dig deeper into the information these ladies knew, a lady suddenly said.

"I heard that your minister is about to be promoted... Life still has to go on. Don't think about yourself, but also think about your brother. If you don't live up to expectations, your two brothers will have to be Sent away from afar."

The topic of her brother made Mrs. Su's expression relax, and it took a long time before she spoke.

"I know……"

After she responded, she said nothing more, but stopped twisting the beads.

The waiter wants to go up a liter?What kind of promotion? Is this statement accurate?
Just as Mo Zhenzhen was thinking about it, the topic turned to Mrs. Su's two younger brothers.

According to these ladies, although Mrs. Su's two younger brothers are still young, they are also like generals. They are tall and strong, and they are also very famous in the martial arts field.

Su Shilang is a minister who came from a military general family. His family is now in a period of transformation. It is said that there are five people in his generation, and now he is the only one left. The previous generation only had his second uncle left, but his second uncle is not in the capital. Still helping guard the border.

Su Shilang's family belongs to the second echelon of generals in the army, and their numbers are withering, and they are about to withdraw from the rank of generals.

However, if you want to support younger generations who have no background, that is also possible.

It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Su, a young girl, would marry Mr. Su who could be her father as her stepwife, knowing that Mr. Su and his former wife were deeply in love.
Following the ladies' words, Mo Zhenzhen also learned more about Mrs. Su's background.

The configuration of Mrs. Su's natal family is that her ex-wife died early and her father married a step-in-law.

But this marriage is different.

Mrs. Su was already in her 40s when she died. She died of cold illness and left behind a total of four sons and three daughters. There were no elders in the family. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were already married, leaving four sons and one daughter. There was no one to take care of the house, so Mrs. Su's father remarried, to a widow four years older than him who had been divorced because she could not have children.

This widow had an average appearance and an average family background, but she had a neat temperament and a good nature. She was not submissive because she was said to be unable to have children. Instead, she was born with a strong temper.

After entering the house, the widow quickly took charge of the family and treated the five children who were still at home as if they were her own. Her father had two old aunts in his early years, and later they were sent to Zhuangzi when he remarried.

The composition of the family is simple. There is also a housewife who can take care of things and is an honest father. The brothers and sisters also get along harmoniously.

Such a family cannot live a life of great wealth, but it is no problem to live a peaceful life even if it is a little rich.

But the problem happened with Mrs. Su's two younger brothers.Because these two young brothers were young, somewhat spoiled by their families, and tall, they had to join the army.

Joining the army is not a good thing these days, especially for a civil servant family like theirs (they are not high-ranking officials and have no connections in the army). Sending their children to join the army can only start as a soldier. What is the difference between that and sending death? .

However, these two people were not afraid of anything, and even secretly joined the army despite their family's objections - and sure enough, they started as small soldiers.

By the time the family knew about this, they had already gone to the army to train.

Seeing the news that the enemy was harassing the border again, and the news that the court was about to start another war spread, the family was anxious and angry.

In the end, Mrs. Su had no choice but to marry the widowed Mr. Su for the sake of her two younger brothers.

It has been eight or nine years since Mr. Su lost his wife, and he has not remarried. I heard that it is because he had a very good relationship with his previous wife and has never been willing to remarry.

However, the children in the family are getting older and have no one to educate them, and their temperament has become crooked. In addition, the children in the family have reached the age suitable for marrying and matchmaking.

Only then did Mr. Su have the idea of ​​remarrying again.

It's just that in a situation like his, it's impossible for a family with a good family background and love for their daughter to agree to marry their daughter in. This is a fire pit visible to the naked eye.

At that time, the matter of Mr. Su's re-marriage was causing quite a fuss. None of his children wanted him to re-marry, so it disrupted the marriage plans of many people who wanted to get involved.

Later, Mrs. Su's natal family really had no choice. The lives of their two sons were at stake, so they probably negotiated the marriage and got married despite the humiliation.

But now looking at Mrs. Su's appearance, that house is indeed a dragon's nest and a tiger's den that cannot be broken into.

Mo Zhenzhen listened and sighed, as if she had also known about this for a long time.

But another thought was running through his mind.

Mo Zhenzhen had given up on Mrs. Su's path before, but now it sounds like she is a little interested.

It wasn't that Mo Zhenzhen thought Mrs. Su was pitiful and wanted to help her, but that Mrs. Su's family background was so suitable that it aroused her desire to take a gamble.

Mo Zhenzhen doesn't like gambling, she likes things that are 100% sure.

But Mo Zhenzhen didn't mind doing something like this casually.

But now is not the time to talk about this. Mo Zhenzhen has not forgotten why she came to the General's Mansion.

The subsequent exchanges became very casual. After the men in front had finished speaking, the ladies also had to go back with their men.

Mo Zhenzhen came alone. She left with Mrs. Su and saw the legendary Mr. Su.

This Mr. Su looks pretty good. He is in his 30s and almost 40s. He has a fair complexion and a long beard. His posture is dignified and elegant. He looks at his wife casually, as if he is looking at someone he doesn't like very much. Just like the out-of-the-way ornaments.
