It was early in the morning when Su Xinyi arrived in the capital. Several people were waiting at the gate of the city to open it. There were already many people waiting in line to enter the city.
Su Deng looked up at the tall city gate, "I'm finally back. I feel familiar looking at this city gate."
Su Li had never lived in the capital, so he didn't react much when he heard this. Su Xinyi was different. This city had both destruction and rebirth for her. The complex feelings were hard to describe.
At this time, listening to Su Deng's words also had a strange sense of identity.
When the time came, the huge and heavy city gate was pushed open by the soldiers, making a creaking sound. Everyone lined up to enter the city. After entering the city gate, they went all the way to the Duke of Qi's Mansion.
It was still early, Zhan Qiao went forward and knocked on the door. The doorman opened the door and was stunned when he saw Zhan Qiao, then he came out immediately. When he saw Su Xinyi and her group, he was immediately excited and turned around and shouted happily, "Sixth Miss is back, Sixth Miss is back!"
Su Xinyi:...
Su Deng and Su Li couldn't help laughing.
This sentence seemed to break the quiet morning of the Duke of Qi's mansion. The whole mansion seemed to come alive. Su Xinyi handed the horse to the excited doorman and took Su Deng and Su Li into the mansion. Because it was still early, she was afraid that grandpa and grandmother had not yet gotten up. She took them to the fourth room and was thinking of settling them down and cleaning up before meeting the elders.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother hurriedly walking out. He paused when he saw her, and then he walked over quickly to look her up and down, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Your eldest brother has been back for several days. The family has been thinking about you every day these days."
Su Deng and Su Li hurried forward to greet them. The fourth lady smiled and responded, and then asked about the situation of the people in the old family, and then said: "Xinyi wrote back before, and the yard has been cleaned up for you. Stay here. You have been traveling all the way, you should go wash and change clothes first, and I will ask someone to prepare breakfast for you to fill your stomach first."
Su Xinyi smiled and agreed, looking at Su Deng and Su Li and said: "Brother Deng, Brother Li, I'll tell you, don't leave when you come, we have a place to stay at home."
"That's right, we are all family, how can we live outside." The fourth lady said immediately.
Su Deng smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Fourth Aunt."
"What's the trouble? Come on, I'll take you to see the yard. Xinyi, go back to your room and clean up. See you in the front yard later."
Su Xinyi hurriedly agreed. She was really uncomfortable with the dust on her body. Her mother arranged for her two cousins, so she went back first.
When she returned to the yard, Lianqiao and Delphinium had received the news and came out to greet her. Seeing their daughter crying and laughing, they hurriedly asked someone to fetch hot water for her to bathe.
Su Xinyi remembered the things she brought back, and said to Delphinium before entering the bathroom, "Go to the gatehouse and put the things away. These are gifts from my hometown in Huaining and my elder sister for the family."
Delphinium responded and turned away. Lianqiao mixed the water here, took out new clothes for the girl and put them on the hanger, and then left.
The water was slightly warm, and a layer of fresh petals was sprinkled on the water. The rich floral fragrance was steaming in the hot air, which made Su Xinyi's tense heart relax all of a sudden.
Lian Qiao made a cup of nectar water and put it on the table, and then tidied up the girl's dressing table. When the girl came out of the bathroom, she hurriedly handed the nectar water to her, "Miss, moisten your mouth first."
Su Xinyi drank a cup of water and immediately felt much better. She smiled and said to Lian Qiao, "You are still so considerate."
Lian Qiao hurriedly helped the girl sit down in front of the dressing table, took out a jade comb to wipe the girl's hair, and dried her hair. Then she used the comb to tie her hair. She was skillful in her hands. In a short while, she combed a delicate double bun and pinned the pearl hairpin in her hair. It was simple, lively and exquisite.
Su Xinyi smiled at the mirror, "Your craftsmanship is getting better and better."
"After the girl left, I had nothing else to do, so I could only practice this. I learned a lot of hairstyles and combed a different one for the girl every day." Lian Qiao said with a smile.
Su Xinyi stood up, "It's not that troublesome."
"How can this be troublesome? This is my job." Lian Qiao took the red crabapple flower jacket and put it on the girl, took out the sachet and forbidden steps and tied them around the girl's waist, arranged the jade-colored horse-faced skirt, looked at it carefully, opened the dressing box and put on Su Xinyi's twisted gold bracelets, ruby gourd earrings, and a colorful gold lock with peace and happiness around her neck, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Su Xinyi:...
Isn't it a bit too serious?
When she finally walked out of the room and reached the front yard, she saw that her two cousins had arrived. When they looked up and saw Su Xinyi coming in, they were stunned for a moment.
Su Xinyi forced a smile. She was a little tanned, and even if she put on powder, it was still a little black in the white. Although she was a little ugly, she was not so shocked that she couldn't speak, which was a bit hurtful.
After all, before she got tanned, she was a beauty.
Su Li was the first to come to his senses and immediately said, "I haven't seen my sixth sister wearing women's clothes for a long time. I can't recognize her when I see her suddenly."
Su Xinyi: ...
I'm going to hold my tongue. I know it's ugly. That's enough!
Su Xinyi immediately changed the subject, "My mother didn't tell us to fill our stomachs first. Where's breakfast?"
Su Deng also came to his senses and said, "Someone from my great-aunt's place told us to go over there for breakfast."
Su Xinyi was a little surprised, but still nodded, "Where's my mother?"
As soon as the words fell, the voice of the fourth lady rang out, "Since we are all here, let's go now, Xinyi, your grandparents know that you are back, so let's go to the main courtyard to meet each other, just in time for a reunion dinner."
Su Xinyi hurriedly smiled and responded, and followed her mother with her two cousins.
On the way, the fourth lady briefly introduced the situation in the mansion to Su Deng and Su Li. In fact, Su Xinyi had already told them on the way, but now the fourth lady repeated it, and the two still listened respectfully.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Su Xinyi saw that everyone in the family was there. Grandpa and grandmother sat at the top, and on both sides were the eldest uncle's family, the second uncle's family, and the third uncle's family. Her eyes were hot, and she knelt down to greet them, "The unfilial granddaughter is back, and I pay my respects to grandpa and grandmother."
"Good child, get up quickly, you look thinner." The lady looked at her granddaughter and said, she must have suffered a lot outside. She was fat after she brought her back, and she lost weight again after going out.
Su Xinyi kowtowed respectfully and then got up.
Then Su Deng and Su Li came forward to greet them. The old man looked at them and asked about the people in Huaining with a smile. Su Deng answered them one by one and took out his grandfather's handwritten letter to the old man.
The old man took the letter, looked at the familiar handwriting on it, and said with some regret: "I haven't seen your grandfather for many years. As I get older, it's not easy to meet each other."
"Grandfather is always thinking about his great-uncle. As long as you and your great-uncle are healthy, he will be happy."
Su Qi and others who were still studying also happened to come back from the academy. He was more familiar with Su Deng and Su Li, and immediately came forward to introduce their family members to them.
Old family members from Huaining, and Su Deng and Su Li were both handsome. Su Xixian and Su Jingmo's eyes lit up. When Su Xinyi came over and sat down, they grabbed her and asked her questions non-stop. Su Chaoyan smiled and sat with her, as silent as ever.
Everyone had asked about the border affairs after Su Yi came back. Su Xinyi avoided the embarrassment of talking about it again. She breathed a sigh of relief and gave her elder brother a thumbs up when no one was paying attention.
After a paragraph of the conversation, Su Xinyi talked about the gifts sent from Huaining and her trip to Pingningwei.
The eldest lady was overjoyed. She didn't expect Xinyi to go to see her daughter. She asked about Su Baiwei's situation and how she was doing in the Jie family.
Su Xinyi told her what Su Baiwei had said to her at that time. The eldest lady was overjoyed. She didn't expect the result to be much better than she thought. Master Su also nodded with satisfaction. When he met Jie Jinglüe in person, he thought that this kid would not dare to bully his daughter.
Su Xinyi also said that Su Baiwei brought gifts to each room. The third lady was visibly happy. The corners of Master Su's mouth twitched and pretended that he didn't see it.
The old man waved at Su Xinyi, and Su Xinyi hurried over, "Grandfather."
The old man looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Now that you're back, stay here and don't go out and cause trouble. You're old enough, and I'll ask your grandmother and mother to find a marriage for you. Don't make trouble."
Su Xinyi:...
It was a bolt from the blue!
"Grandfather, I'm the youngest in our family. It's not too late to wait until my sisters are settled. I'm not in a hurry." Su Xinyi said immediately.
The old lady was listening to this and was also amused by Su Xinyi's evasive attitude. She looked at her and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Your family is watching your sisters' marriages. Just take care of yourself."
Su Xinyi had a toothache. She had really had enough in her last life. It was probably impossible for her not to get married in this life, but she could delay it for a while.
"Yes, I'll listen to my grandmother. I'll ask my grandmother to worry about me after my sisters are settled." Su Xinyi is now much more comfortable with the old lady than when she just came back.
The old lady looked at Xinyi like this, and her heart skipped a beat. This child seemed to be afraid of marriage, which was a bit strange. Which lady didn't want to find a good husband? She would ask the fourth family to ask.
Su Deng and Su Li rarely saw Su Xinyi's frustrated look. The two brothers couldn't help but smile at each other, and Su Xinyi happened to see it. This weak brother-sister relationship.
The family members were basically all together, and there was definitely not enough room for breakfast. The old man opened another table with the men in the family, and the old lady sat down with the women.
Su Xinyi had a very comfortable meal. Although it was not a delicacy, but just ordinary porridge and rice, she felt particularly warm after eating it.
After the meal, the old man left with a group of men. He mainly wanted to ask about Su Deng and Su Li's errands, because there was no clue now, and Su Yi, who had a good relationship with the East Palace, had to go around and ask about it.
As soon as the old man and the others left, the eldest lady first grabbed Su Xinyi and asked her about Su Baiwei in detail, which she had not asked in detail in front of everyone before.
"Xinyi, tell your aunt, is Baiwei's stepson easy to get along with? After all, he is not your own child, so it is difficult to judge the severity of the matter." The eldest lady was really worried about her daughter marrying far away.
"Aunt, when I went there, Jie Kun happened to go to her maternal family and did not see him, but I heard from my eldest sister that the child is still willing to get close to her. After all, he is young now, and my eldest sister is beautiful and kind, so the child will naturally want to find her." Su Xinyi said with a smile.
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "It's not so easy to be a stepmother."
"Oh, sister-in-law, don't say that. Our Bai Wei is also taking Sister Jun with her. She is good to the children of the Jie family, so my uncle is also good to Sister Jun." The third lady watched from the side as the eldest lady worried about gain and loss. I couldn't help but stab him.
The eldest lady's face stiffened. Even though she knew that the third lady meant no harm, these words were really uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that her daughter was getting married for the second time and had a child, why would she be so hesitant and worried?
When the fourth lady saw this, she hurriedly said: "We have all watched Bai Wei grow up. Xin Yi also said that my uncle is good to her. It shows that the young couple are getting along well. It will be even better when they have their own children in the future." "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Besides, Pingningwei is not far from Huaining, and our Su family will naturally take care of it."
The eldest lady's face became better now, but she didn't even smile at the third lady, and turned to talk to the second lady.
The third lady curled her lips, turned to look at Su Xinyi and said: "Xinyi, you said you were going out on this trip, but the family was worried. You didn't tell me that you didn't just go around and come back again. The girl's family should stay at home." good."
Su Xinyi smiled at the third lady, but didn't say a word. Instead, Su Jingmo pulled her mother. The third lady was a little unhappy when her daughter pulled her. What's wrong, weren't her words nice? She also has good intentions, doesn’t she?
Su Jingmo:......
Su Xixian lowered her head and pretended that she didn't see anything, but Su Xinyi saw the clues in her slightly trembling shoulders.
Okay, let's have some fun.
Su Xinyi didn't like to talk back to her elders. The fourth lady was not happy that the third sister-in-law said that about the child, so she interrupted and said, "Third sister-in-law, speaking of Aunt Weng's insistence on marrying Xixian back to the Weng family, what do you think? Any ideas?"
When the third lady heard what the fourth lady said, her face became even uglier. She really didn't want to open any pot!
The fourth lady chuckled in her heart, it was just inserting a knife, who can't do that!
Su Xinyi's heart trembled, and she turned to look at Su Xixian. Unexpectedly, Aunt Weng was already thinking of marrying her back to her parents' family, and her heart sank slightly.
The madam looked at each and every one of them without worry, so she simply waved her big hand and drove them away, leaving her alone.
Su Xinyi was dragged by Su Jingmo to talk to her, and Su Xixian and Su Chaoyan followed.
Several people entered the door and sent the girls out. As soon as the door was closed, they started talking quietly.
Su Xixian couldn't help but said first: "I don't want to marry back to the Weng family."
Su Jingmo rarely quarreled with her, frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, dad said we won't discuss it for now."
Su Xinyi was not optimistic, because Su Xixian finally married back in her previous life. She thought about it and looked at Su Xixian and asked: "Fifth sister, you should explain clearly to the third uncle why you don't want to return to the Weng family. I looked at the third uncle." Uncle is a reasonable person, if you explain clearly, he will definitely not make you sad. "
Tell your father?
Su Xixian was stunned for a moment. Only a daughter could talk to her mother about this kind of thing. How could she have the nerve to tell her father? The key is that her biological mother is an aunt, and she and the madam are not very close. There are some things that are not easy to say to the madam. The closer she gets to the madam, the aunt will say harsh words.
However, she had nothing to say to her aunt. Her aunt always felt that Madam An was unkind and had to marry her back to her parents' family in order to feel at ease. In fact, she knew in her heart that her aunt's decision to marry her back to the Weng family was not just for her.
But how could she say these words to others?
Unspeakable.
If she said so, how would her aunt behave in the future and how would she hold her head up in this house?
Su Jingmo said thoughtfully, "What Xiaoliu said makes sense. Aunt Weng doesn't listen to other people's words. Dad always has to listen to his words. Let's tell him. You didn't tell me about the Weng family last time. What kind of cousin is this? The one who proposed marriage to you still looks down on you. How can you have a good life after marrying him? "
Although Su Jingmo and Su Xixian have been quarreling for as long as they can remember and their relationship is not very good, they are still willing to do something for her when encountering a life-long event. Especially after seeing Su Baiwei's fate of marrying the wrong person, several girls in the house rarely agreed on this issue.
Su Xixian held the handkerchief and remained silent. Su Jingmo was extremely angry, "In the past, when I saw you dealing with me, you were very sharp-tongued and refused to let me down. Why are you so timid when it comes to your own marriage? If you are like this, we will Why should these people bother you?"
"I don't think so, I'm just worried that if I do this, my aunt will have no face in the future." Su Xixian said in a low voice, "She has been strong all her life, but a decent girl from the Weng family has been a concubine. She has always been arrogant. I Afraid of breaking her heart."
"If you don't want Aunt Weng to be sad, then marry the person she has arranged for you. When you don't go well in the future, it won't be ridiculous to think about what you said today. Besides, you forgot about eldest sister so quickly? Let's The Qin family was a close match at first, but what happened to the eldest sister? The Weng family looks down on you now. Even if you are their cousin, will you still follow the same rules when you become their daughter-in-law? "
"Fourth sister is right, life-long events cannot be compromised." Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian, "Otherwise, if Aunt Weng sees her nephew as a flower, then she would invite the Weng family to be a guest. If the Weng family's son really doesn't want to If I like you, I will definitely show it, and we will act accordingly when the time comes." Su Xinyi said, verbal words are always empty words. If you want your third uncle to refuse this marriage, you have to let him see the true nature of the Weng family.
"I also think Sixth Sister is right, you have to look at talents." Su Chaoyan whispered from the side.
Su Xixian looked at Su Chaoyan and said, "Third sister's marriage is going smoothly. I envy her."
Su Xinyi was stunned. "Third sister is settled?"
She remembered that in her previous life, Su Chaoyan married Tu Sijing, the third son of the Dali Temple. Although the third son of Tu was born out of wedlock, his aunt died of dystocia when giving birth to him. He was raised by Mrs. Tu.
Su Chaoyan was a gentle and low-key person. She was the same after getting married. Su Xinyi herself was in a mess after marrying into the business world. Su Chaoyan lived a quiet life without any movement. She didn't know how she was doing.
Su Jingmo said, "It has just been decided. Xiaoliu, you are not at home, so you naturally don't know. The one that Second Aunt chose for Third Sister is the Third Young Master of the Dali Temple. Although he is a concubine's son, he was raised by Madam Tu. Although he is not as good as Madam Tu's biological son, he is not much different."
Su Xinyi thought to herself that it was true. If she did not interfere, human affairs would always move forward in the direction of the previous life. But if she intervened, it was like the ending of her eldest sister would change.
She smiled at Su Chaoyan, "Congratulations, Third Sister. I'll find out what kind of character this Third Master Tu has later."
Su Chaoyan's face suddenly turned red, and she held the handkerchief tightly. After a while, she said, "I've seen him. He's pretty good, just a little dark."
Su Jingmo was very happy to hear this, and said to Su Xinyi, "He's more than just a little dark, he's really dark. I've seen him. However, I heard that Third Master Xiaoqi's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, was a maid that Mrs. Tu brought with her as a dowry. Otherwise, how could Mrs. Tu keep the Third Master by her side? It doesn't matter if he's dark or not, as long as he's a good person."
Su Chaoyan's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.
Su Xinyi looked at this and felt that Third Sister might really like Third Master Tu. Yes, if she didn't like him, she wouldn't have a good life after marriage. That's good.
And Third Sister has a good personality, and she'll be able to live a good life no matter who she marries.
"Fourth Sister, what about you?" Su Xinyi looked at Su Xinyi and asked.
Su Jingmo said nonchalantly, "I'm not in a hurry. It's not too late to wait until my third sister gets married. Good things are never too late. How can I not marry a man of my dreams?"
Su Xinyi: ...
Yes, if you calculate the time, the man Su Jingmo is going to marry is the son of Marquis Changnan. At this time, Marquis Changnan is still mourning in his hometown with his family and has not returned to Beijing, so there is no way to talk about this marriage.
Later, a few years after Su Jingmo got married, Marquis Changnan offended Prince Rong. It is unknown what he did and he returned to his hometown in Yunan.
Because the two had few interactions in their previous life, Su Xinyi didn't know much, and now she looked at this marriage with more thoughts.
But now that the marriage has not been mentioned, she naturally can't say anything.
Now thinking about it, her life in this life is completely different from her previous life. Her reputation has not been damaged by falling into the water, and her sisters at home have not been implicated. Her relationship with the people in the mansion has also improved greatly. Now thinking about it, she finds it incredible.
It is really amazing that the family members who used to be considered hateful can now get along so well.
"Xiao Liu, what are you thinking about?" Su Jingmo looked at Su Xinyi in a daze, stretched out his hand and gently pushed her, "I told you about Xu Yurong, but you are so uninterested?"
Who?
Xu Yurong?
After a moment's distraction, Su Xinyi remembered who Xu Yurong was. She had a very colorful life and had completely forgotten about her. However, because she changed her fate, Xu Yurong could not climb up by stepping on her like in her previous life, so she really wanted to know what happened to her.
After all, she was happy when her enemies were not doing well.

Six thousand words are presented, my dears.
