, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

Su Xinyi thought of Su Chu. It must not be just Su Xixian's own fault that made her hesitate. I'm afraid that Aunt Weng is still threatening her with Su Chu. Google search reading

Su Chu and Su Xixian are siblings from the same mother. Aunt Weng must know how to control her.

"Fifth sister, is Aunt Weng threatening you with Fifth Brother?" Su Xinyi stared at Su Xixian and asked.

Su Xixian's face froze slightly, and she looked up at Su Xinyi with a bit of panic and embarrassment in her eyes.

Su Jingmo looked at Su Xinyi and then at Su Xixian, and almost couldn't help cursing for a long time.

Su Xinyi sighed, "Fifth sister, Fourth sister is right, you are really smart all your life but foolish for a moment. Think about it, Aunt Weng can't decide your marriage, let alone Fifth Brother's. To put it bluntly, Fifth Brother's marriage is more important than yours. Even Third Uncle will not make a decision easily. He will definitely discuss it with Third Aunt. Even Third Aunt is so cautious about your marriage, let alone Fifth Brother's."

"You are so stupid!" Su Jingmo finally knew where the crux was.

Su Xixian lowered her head, not looking at Su Jingmo and Su Xixian, and slowly said, "My brother was born by Aunt Weng, and sooner or later Aunt Weng will follow my brother to take care of him in his old age."

This was a nonsense, but Su Jingmo and Su Xinyi understood it.

Su Chu had to support Aunt Weng. If Aunt Weng didn't like the daughter-in-law he married, it would be troublesome in the future.

By the time Su Chu takes Aunt Weng to take care of her, the family must have been divided. By that time, even if the Third Lady wants to take care of her, she can't take care of her all the time.

Su Jingmo said angrily: "Even if that's the case, it will be decades later. Aunt Weng may not live longer than our father. Our father is still alive, and Aunt Weng will never go to my fifth brother to take care of her in her old age. Besides, if my fifth brother can't take care of Aunt Weng after decades, it's really useless. What's the point of being an official and studying if you're so worried? I'll tell my mother to pick a powerful wife for my fifth brother."

Su Xinyi: ...

Su Xixian: ...

Su Xixian was scolded, and it seemed that she suddenly got it. She looked at Su Jingmo for a long time and said: "It seems that I really thought it was wrong. Fourth sister, what you said makes sense. Our father will definitely live a hundred years!"

Su Jingmo sneered, "I said you are stupid and you don't admit it. I think you can't get up from Aunt Weng's mud pit."

The words of the two sisters made Su Xinyi hold his forehead and cry. What a thing.

She looked at Su Jingmo and asked, "Which family did Third Aunt find for Fifth Sister?"

Su Xixian also looked up at Su Jingmo.

Su Jingmo glared at Su Xixian, "You said you weren't going? Why are you looking at me?"

Su Xixian immediately said, "Fourth sister, I know I was wrong. You are a magnanimous person. Don't argue with me. Dear sister, please tell me which family this young man is from. I want to see if he is worthy of my liking. As long as there is a way to keep my brother from being dragged down by my aunt, I will accept your scolding."

"You... are so thick-skinned." Su Jingmo was so angry that she laughed. Although she was angry, she still spoke, "It's the most capable Qianhu Yinru under Dad. You have Impression, right? "

Su Xixian thought for a while, "I've heard my father mention it several times, but I haven't seen it. Who knows how tall, short, fat, thin, and good-tempered he is."

"What do you know? This marriage was proposed by my father and mother. My mother was afraid that my father was unreliable, so she asked someone to inquire about it. Yin Ru's father died early, and his mother didn't take care of things. There are three brothers and sisters in the family. He is the eldest. He has a strong character and is motivated. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to reach the position of Qianhu by his own efforts. His character and talents are impeccable. The only shortcoming is that he is seven years older than you, a little old."

Su Xinyi covered her face.

Su Xixian listened seriously, and when he heard this, he said, "It doesn't matter if he is older, but a widowed mother raised three children. You know that widows rarely get along well. What is his mother's character like?"

"What do you think? She doesn't take care of things at home. You can see that she is not a capable person. With your mind, if this marriage can be successful, you will be able to capture people in a few days after marrying." Su Jingmo said.

Su Xixian had a straight face, "I thought you were praising me."

Su Xinyi smiled, looked at Su Jingmo and asked, "Since this Captain Yin is so good in every way, why hasn't he found a marriage yet? He is a young talent, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find a marriage."

Speaking of this, Su Jingmo had something to say, "My mother said that although Captain Yin has good conditions, he has a pair of younger brothers and sisters and a widowed mother. The rich and powerful families don't like him, and think that he has no support and a shallow family background. If they look for someone from a lower family, Captain Yin himself is a young talent and is unwilling to settle, so the marriage has been delayed."

Su Xinyi was thoughtful. If this is the case, the marriage seems to be okay.

The widowed mother doesn't care about things, and she can be the head of the family after marrying. The husband is capable. Su Xixian has the support of the Duke of Qi Mansion, so she doesn't need to care whether Yin Ru has a backer or not. The Duke of Qi Mansion is the biggest backer.

In addition, with Su Xixian's status, as long as Yin Ru's mother doesn't cause trouble, his brothers and sisters can only respect this sister-in-law from a rich family. At first glance, this marriage seems to be a bit unfair to Su Xixian because Yin Ru is just a thousand households, but after careful consideration, it is indeed a good marriage.

Yin Ru is capable and will definitely make further progress in the future. He will be valued by his third uncle and his character is reliable. It is better to marry a husband with real power than to marry into those aristocratic families and become the daughter-in-law of a concubine's son, no matter if it is the daughter-in-law of the second son or the youngest son who cannot inherit the title.

Because if she married into a noble family, Su Xixian's status as a concubine would be a disadvantage. She would be inferior to a group of legitimate sisters-in-law, lacking confidence, and would not be valued by the head of the family.

Although the Third Lady would take care of Su Xixian and worry about her marriage, she would never record Su Xixian as her legitimate daughter.

So although Su Xixian was a girl from the Duke's Mansion, because she was a concubine, she didn't even have to think about marrying the eldest son of a noble family. Even if she married the second son or the youngest son who didn't have to inherit the family business, anyone who wanted to make progress in the family would not agree.

Just like Su Chaoyan was also a concubine, and she married Tu Sijing, who was also a concubine. Tu Sijing's biological mother was a maid who came with Mrs. Tu as a dowry. The master and servant had a deep relationship. In addition, Aunt Zhang died of dystocia, and Tu Sijing was raised by his legitimate mother. Even so, he was still not recorded by Mrs. Tu.

Su Chaoyan has a very good reputation outside, and was also raised by the second wife. The situations of both sides are almost the same. Tu Sijing is ambitious and Su Chaoyan has a good reputation, so this marriage is so easy to promote.

But Su Xixian is different. She has a careless aunt, which is a big hindrance. Fortunately, because of the marriage of the Weng family, the third wife stood up for her, which invisibly promoted Su Xixian. Su Xinyi felt that the marriage with the Yin family would be successful, which would be more beneficial than harmful to Su Xixian.

After all, she had suffered a great loss in her previous life because of the mismatch between the family backgrounds.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian, only to see that Su Xixian frowned slightly and didn't know what she was thinking.

Su Jingmo didn't urge her, and turned to Su Xinyi and said, "Xiao Liu, what do you think?"

Su Xinyi saw Su Xixian looking over here, and she pretended not to see it, deliberately sighed and said, "It's okay. Fifth sister is outstanding in appearance and talent, and it's a bit unfair for her to marry a warrior."

Su Jingmo's eyes were about to pop out, but after she saw Su Xinyi's secret gesture to him, she immediately understood and nodded, "You are right, if Fifth sister doesn't like him, it's fine, but he is not the only one. Speaking of which, the only pity I feel is that Yin Ru's mother is easy to get along with. If she marries, she can be the head of the family. I envy her."

Su Jingmo said the last sentence sincerely. Her marriage is naturally good. The son of Changnan Marquis sounds so glorious, but the wife of Changnan Marquis is in her prime. If she marries, she will have to endure more than ten years under her mother-in-law before she can make a living.

It's so sad.

Su Xixian knew that she had a strong personality. Perhaps because she was born out of wedlock, she liked to compare herself with Su Jingmo since she was young. She didn't want to be looked down upon, so she always wanted to do her best.

If she thought that she would have to look at her mother-in-law's face all the time and swallow her anger after getting married, she felt that it was not good.

Thinking about it this way, this marriage seemed really good.

"Why don't we meet in person first?" Su Xixian looked at Su Jingmo and said.

Su Jingmo nodded, "Of course you have to see the person first. Although my mother said it well, Xiaoliu and I also think this marriage is good. The most important thing is that you have to like him."

Su Xinyi also thought this was reliable, and nodded, "Isn't it for this purpose? Didn't Fourth Sister and Changnan Hou Shizi also see each other before getting engaged?"

Su Xixian took a breath, stood up and looked at Su Jingmo, and said a little embarrassedly: "Then you accompany me to apologize to mother."

Su Jingmo rolled his eyes, "It's just a few steps away, can't you go by yourself?"

Su Xinyi chuckled, "Then Fourth Sister will accompany Fifth Sister. Fifth Sister wants to apologize to Third Aunt. Third Aunt has good intentions, and Fifth Sister is right to do so. I'll go back first, and we'll talk later if there is anything."

The affairs of the Third House can be handled behind closed doors. If Su Xinyi goes with her, I'm afraid that Third Madam will be embarrassed and may not be willing to let Su Xixian off easily.

Su Xinyi came back from the third room, thinking that if Su Xixian's marriage was settled, she would be the next one.

She didn't want to get married, but seeing the family situation, she couldn't not get married. So what kind of person should she find?

The family should not be too high, and it would be best if the family was simple. If she could get married, it would be the best.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi also envied Su Xixian.

Oh, it's too difficult.

Su Xinyi is very self-aware. Although she is remembered by her mother, she grew up in the countryside. For this reason, many families probably won't agree.

Although she was named the Princess of Yong'an by His Majesty, this Princess also means that she is strong in martial arts. The most desired thing for a big family is family harmony and a respectful daughter-in-law. She can't do this.

Anyway, just like in the last life, these wealthy families don't have to think about it, and she doesn't want to marry such a complicated family again. It's not worth it to suffer grievances in the world.

It would be best if the husband had a good temper and was ambitious, and his family background didn't need to be too high, and the population was simple and easy to get along with.

Once again, I envied Su Xixian, what kind of luck did she have.

Su Xinyi returned to the study with a bitter face, and decided to continue studying. Anyway, her mother would take care of the marriage, and she would just wait to see the man.

Thinking of this, she felt much more relaxed, and continued to study with the book in her hands.

Su Xinyi was right. The fourth lady had been worrying about her marriage for a long time, asking around for suitable families, and even asked her sister-in-law to help. Now, Mrs. Gao sent a letter to her sister-in-law, asking her to go to the Gao Mansion.

The fourth lady was overjoyed, opened the storeroom to choose some gifts, got in the car and went straight to her parents' home.

Su Xinyi had been reading for a long time, but she always felt that she had forgotten something. When she was taking a break, she suddenly remembered what it was, it was about the caravan.

Su Xinyi immediately asked Forsythia to call Zhan Qiao, and asked him when he saw the person, "Have you received a letter from Yulin Guard?"

Zhanqiao shook his head, "Not yet, Miss Six."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly, looked at Zhan Qiao and said, "His Royal Highness has received the news, why are we so slow?"

Zhan Qiao said: "His Royal Highness's letter is probably specially delivered by the imperial inn, so the speed will naturally be faster. If it is a letter written by Cao Qing and Young Master Biao, it will be delayed for a few days if it cannot be sent to the inn."

Su Xinyi thought the same thing, "Even if it's a few days late, it should be here in a day or two. You should pay more attention."

Zhan Qiao responded immediately, looked at Miss Six and asked, "Girl, are everything okay over there at Yulin Guard?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "The details are still unclear. His Highness only said that everything is fine. We will only know when the letter comes."

Zhanqiao was happy, "As long as everything is fine, it will be fine."

Su Xinyi thought the same way, and said to Zhan Qiao: "Did I ask you to send the banknotes to Tian Zao and Bao Datong after the new year?"

"Don't worry, girl, it's been sent. Counting the days, their reply should be here soon after Master Cousin and the others." Zhan Qiao said.

Su Xinyi nodded, "There is no war at the border now. Tian Zao and Bao Datong are two young men who are growing up. They have no additional military merit and can only fill their stomachs by relying on the little production in the fields. If they want to eat something good, they can only It cost money.”

"Girl, you are so kind-hearted. These two boys are lucky to meet you." Zhanqiao said, there are many soldiers at the border, and some of them have family members who can send money to them.

Some poor families have to rely on their children serving in the military to support their families.

Su Xinyi had suffered a lot herself, so she tried to make Bao Datong and Tian Zao suffer less. It was not easy for these two children. Not everyone could persist in avenging their parents at such a young age. Not everyone could have such perseverance. and courage.

On the other side, the fourth lady was stunned after hearing her sister-in-law's words, "Sister-in-law, who are you talking about? The young master of the Xiang family?"

Mrs. Gao smiled and nodded, "Mrs. Xiang asked someone to pass a message to me, saying that she met Xin Yi when she accompanied the third lady to visit the Prince of Changnan last time, and she liked him very much."

The fourth lady said: "Sister-in-law, you didn't even say that you want to see each other with us Xinyi."

"You are also confused. There is no news in the palace yet, so the Xiang family is naturally vague. Mrs. Xiang likes Xin Yi very much. I am asking you in a roundabout way. What do you think?"

The fourth lady couldn't tell for the moment, she just said hesitantly: "The third lady in our house is from the Xiang family, but in fact, the government and the Xiang family don't have much contact. Except for weddings and funerals during the holidays, the two families Basically, there is no other contact. Sister-in-law, if you want to say that Mrs. Xiang likes our Xin Yi, what exactly does she like? "

When Mrs. Gao heard her sister-in-law ask this question, she nodded, looked at her and said with a smile: "I have always thought about this problem, but it's really hard to say. Mr. Xiang was just transferred to Taipu Temple Minister in Dali Temple before. It's too difficult to talk about it. The Minister of Pusi is not as good as the Minister of Dali Temple. He is just a third-rank servant and is really nothing in the capital.

However, the yamen of Taipu Temple is different from other yamen. It is the last yamen among the five temples in the capital. Although its grade is not as high as that of Dali Temple, it has its own independent treasury. The emperor has no control over the money of Taipus Temple. The money there is called "horse price silver". I heard that when the late emperor was here, Taipu Temple had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year at its richest, which was equivalent to one-tenth of the national treasury. "

The Fourth Madam really didn’t know this, so she couldn’t help but be surprised when she heard what her sister-in-law said, “That’s amazing.”

"Yes, I don't know how many people want to enter Taipu Temple, but Master Xiang can go to Taipu Temple, which shows that he is very popular with the emperor." Mrs. Gao said softly.

"This makes me even more confused as to why she fell in love with our Xin Yi." The fourth lady felt that this marriage was not appropriate, "Sister-in-law, what do you think Mrs. Xiang thinks?"

"I'm not Mrs. Xiang, so I don't know what she's thinking, but think about it from another angle. The Xiang family has a simple population, and Mr. Xiang holds an important position. I heard that his eldest son is also outstanding in literature and has already won the imperial examination. Wait until he wins again. The future of being a Jinshi is naturally bright."

The Fourth Madam couldn't help but nod her head as she listened to her sister-in-law's words, "Yes, if you look at it this way, the Xiang family is indeed a good family, and Mrs. Xiang's reputation has always been good."

"Yes, the family is innocent, the population is simple, Lord Xiang is in the emperor's heart, this marriage is a good one." Mrs. Gao said with a smile, "However, we Xinyi are not bad either. You can tell Mrs. Tai when you get back. , listen to what Mrs. Tai wants. If the government wants, let's meet in private, not in the name of seeing each other. Anyway, the two families are related by marriage, so it's nothing to just go out together. Now that spring is here, it's time. It’s a good time for an outing.”

The fourth lady nodded slightly, "Anyway, we are just looking at each other first. If Xin Yi likes Mr. Xiang, we can talk about the marriage slowly. If he doesn't like it, that's it."

Mrs. Gao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You, as a mother, you have to help your children think carefully about marriage. How can you leave it to your children? What does Xinyi know about marriage at this age?"

The Fourth Madam shook her head, "Sister-in-law, our Xin Yi has an idea in her mind. Anyway, she has to like her marriage. The Dowager Madam said that if there is really no suitable one in the end, she is willing to recruit a son-in-law for Xin Yi."

Mrs. Gao: ...

"Really?" Madam Gao was really shocked, "Your madam is really thoughtful."

If this gets out, the ladies in the capital will probably have something to talk about again. Isn't it a bit too much to spoil the child? It may not be a good thing.

The fourth lady heard that her sister-in-law didn't understand, so she explained carefully: "The madam said that Xinyi is a strong-willed child, has a strong temper, and has kung fu skills. This marriage may be neither high nor low in the future. The family doesn't want to wrong the child, and Xinyi is the only blood of our fourth master. Recruiting a son-in-law can be regarded as leaving a bloodline for the fourth master."

Speaking of this, Madam Gao sighed, "No wonder, does Xinyi know?"

"I mentioned it to her jokingly, but I don't know if the child took it to heart." The fourth lady said uncertainly.

Mrs. Gao thought about it carefully, and then said, "If Xinyi is willing, it would be great. You will have someone to rely on in the future, and the bloodline of the fourth house will not be cut off. However, it is not easy to recruit a son-in-law. It is not easy to find a promising man who is willing to be a son-in-law." The fourth lady nodded, "That's right, so the family dare not leak the news. I told my eldest sister-in-law this, and you go and don't spread it. If Xinyi can find a marriage that suits her heart, I am still willing to marry her off happily." Mrs. Gao naturally knew the importance of it, "If this is the case, what will the Xiang family say?" "Wait until I go back and discuss with the lady, and then give the eldest sister-in-law a reply." The fourth lady didn't dare to make a decision alone, so she still had to tell the lady and listen to what the lady said. The fourth lady came out of Gao's house and sat in the carriage on the way back to the mansion. She thought about what her eldest sister-in-law said over and over again. She felt that her eldest sister-in-law's words made some sense. The Xiang family was indeed a good family to look at. Although they were not noble families, Xinyi's temperament might not be suitable for those big families. A scholarly family like the Xiang family was also an excellent choice.

Madam Xiang took the initiative to ask someone to come to the door to mention this matter, which showed that she really liked their Xinyi. If the marriage really happened, it would be easier for her to marry her in the future if her mother-in-law liked her.

The fourth lady went straight to the old lady when she returned to the mansion. Who knew that the old lady had guests here? She couldn't rush in, so she went to the side hall to wait.

Yao Huang served tea, and the fourth lady stopped her and asked, "Who is here, the old lady?"

Yao Huang smiled and said, "It's Madam Jiang who came to visit."

"Which Madam Jiang?" The fourth lady asked. There are many people with the surname Jiang in the capital.

"It's the wife of Minister Jiang."

The fourth lady was stunned, "We don't have much contact with the Jiang family, why would Mrs. Jiang come to visit suddenly?"

Yao Huang shook her head, "I don't know."

The fourth lady nodded, looked at Yao Huang and said, "You go and do your work, I'll wait here."

After Yao Huang went down, the fourth lady could faintly hear voices coming from the main room, but she couldn't hear clearly what was said, but the laughter continued, which showed that the discussion was pleasant.

After waiting for less than a cup of tea, Mrs. Jiang left, and the fourth lady went to the main room.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the smiling face of the old lady. She stepped forward to greet and asked with a smile: "Mother, what are you so happy about?"

The old lady looked at the fourth lady and said: "You came by chance, this matter is related to your fourth room, sit down and talk."

The fourth lady was a little surprised, it was related to them, what was the relationship?
