Chapter 168

After entering the city gate, because they wanted to send the eldest lady back to the mansion, all the people went back to Su's house first.

It was getting late, Su Wenqian was really happy to see Su Jiu came back, seeing so many people coming again, he hurriedly asked his servants to prepare dinner.

After entering the flower hall, the servants served tea, and Ah Shu asked, "At that time, King Ruiyang threatened Chang Huan and took the big master out of Shengjing?"

Su Jiu briefly explained how he was captured by King Ruiyang, how he got out of Shengjing City, how he moved to Jiaozhou, and how he went to Qianyuan with the army.

On the way, Su Wenqian and his servants set up wine and dishes, and Su Jiu chatted while eating.

The crowd was terrified at the moment, and applauded at the moment, and it was very lively.

Ji Yuxian remained calm, sitting next to Su Jiu and sipping wine by himself.

Even if Su Jiu said it lightly, many places still made him so afraid.

On the other hand, the eldest lady kept picking up vegetables for Su Jiu, and gently listened to her talk about the journey together, and couldn't help wiping away tears secretly when she heard the danger.

Her Jiu'er was never like an ordinary girl in a boudoir. Before she got married, she guarded her parents.

It seems that since she was sold by the Su Lin family and left the Ji Mansion, she was doomed to live a bumpy life.

Why did so many things happen to her daughter?
If possible, she would rather bear those sufferings for her.

But seeing Su Jiu's eyebrows soaring, and seeing so many friends around her who genuinely cared about her, the lady didn't know whether what Su Jiu experienced was luck or misfortune?
She didn't have the security of an ordinary woman, but she got something that an ordinary woman would never get.

She is envied by everyone, and only her mother loves her sufferings.

The only thing that comforted her was that Su Jiu met Ji Yuxian.

This is the luckiest of all her misfortunes!

The eldest lady brought food to Su Jiu, and only wished her peace and happiness in the future, free from disasters and disasters!

It was almost midnight, and everyone left the banquet with still unfinished business.

Cao Datou was drunk, Su Jiu asked Ah Shu and Zhang Mazi to take him back to the escort agency.

After sending A Shu and the others away, Su Jiu asked Qiao An about his marriage, knowing that the date had been postponed, Su Jiu asked Qiao An to send someone to find a matchmaker immediately, and then set the date as soon as possible.

Qiao An didn't drink much, only slightly drunk, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's only a month late!"

It was supposed to be on August [-]th, but now it's already September.

Su Jiu asked, "What did the Fang family say?"

"The Fang family sent a matchmaker to urge them several times!" Qiao An said.

The Fang family saw that the Shilang's mansion sent a matchmaker to say that the marriage was postponed, but did not say the specific date, probably because they were afraid that the Shilang's mansion would regret the marriage, so they sent people to urge them several times.

The marriage was originally arranged, but the date was suddenly changed. Naturally, the woman's family was anxious, and it was reasonable to send someone to remind her.

Su Jiu smiled and said, "Previously the marriage is almost ready, choose the fastest date to settle it, don't let Miss Fang feel uneasy."

Joan nodded, "Yes!"

"It's getting late, you have to go to court tomorrow, go back early and rest!"

"Okay!" Joan smiled warmly, "The head of the family should also get a good night's sleep, and we will talk some other day."

"Ok!"

Watching Qiao An get into the carriage, Su Jiu stood at the door, followed by Ji Yuxian, who hugged Su Jiu from behind, and said in a low voice, "Everyone else has left, so Madam should go home with her husband too? "

Su Jiu turned around and said, "I want to stay at Su's house tonight and spend the night with my mother!"

She was away for several months, and the mother saw "her" being humiliated at the beginning, and then found out that her daughter was a fake, and shed so many tears until she came back. She finally came back, and she should be with her.

Although Ji Yuxian was reluctant to let go, he caressed her hair and said dotingly, "Okay, then tomorrow my husband will come to pick you up!"

"Well, good!" Su Jiu nodded.

"Rest early, don't talk too late!" Ji Yuxian instructed again.

"Understood!" Su Jiu smiled.

The man finally couldn't hold back, pressed her against the shadow, lowered his head and kissed her lips.

After a long time, a deep kiss ended, the man breathed slightly, and whispered in her ear, "It took me so long to bring my wife back, and I still have to stay in an empty room for my husband. Remember to make up for it tomorrow!"

Su Jiu's eyes were full of spring water, and she pushed Ji Yuxian away, "Let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow!"

Ji Yuxian hooked his lips into a charming smile, kissed Su Jiu's face again, and then got up and left in the carriage.

Su Jiu looked like a cat that had eaten fish, pursed her lips, turned around and entered the door.

The eldest lady was still waiting for her in the flower hall, and when she saw her come back, she smiled gently, "Why don't you go back when you're so reluctant, it's fine for mother to see you come back!"

Su Jiu took Da Furen's arm, "I miss my mother too, let's sleep together tonight!"

"Alright!"

Taozi smiled coquettishly at the side, "The servant has prepared the bath water and made the bed."

Su Jiu pinched Taozi's face, "You are so good, I will prepare a generous dowry for you when you get married!"

Taozi blushed and said angrily,

"What did the miss say? The maidservant is not engaged yet, who are you marrying?"

The eldest lady smiled kindly, and led Su Jiu to the bedroom.

Talked to Da Furen for half the night, fell asleep all night without dreams, and slept very soundly, when I woke up the next day, the sun was already high.

Tao Zi has prepared clothes and washing water for her.

After washing up and going out, Su Jiu stood under the wooden porch, breathed in the fresh autumn air, stretched her waist greatly, her whole body felt indescribably comfortable and unobstructed.

Just as I was going to find my mother for breakfast, I saw a little maid hurried in and said, "Miss, there is a lady who wants to see you!"

Before Su Jiu could ask who it was, she saw Nangong Bi running over with three steps in parallel.

Seeing Su Jiu, tears flowed down her cheeks, she rushed over to hug her, and cried, "Su Jiu, you're finally back, I'm so worried!"

Su Jiu hugged Nangong Bi and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't cry, you are the general's wife now, let the servants laugh at you!"

Nangong Bi choked up and thumped Su Jiu's shoulder, "What's the matter with you, why do you always meet bad guys?"

Su Jiu blinked and said, "I'm innocent too!"

Seeing her, Nangong Bi burst out laughing, wiped her tears and said, "When your accident happened, I was not yet confinement, Hu Dapao kept it from me, and he didn't tell me the whole story until he left Shengjing to fight the war. What happened, tell me that you in Ji Mansion were pretended!"

At that time, she really wanted to go to Fengyuan with Hu Dapao.

After hearing what she said, Su Jiu asked, "You came here by yourself? Where is my son Hu Qiong?"

Hearing Su Jiuyi's question, Nangong Bi was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she went out with her son in her arms, and went back to look for it.

Su Jiu was speechless.

Even though Nangong Bi got married and had a son and became a mother, she was still a young lady who hadn't grown up.

Fortunately, the nanny has been holding Nangong Bi's son, and she couldn't find Nangong Bi when she came in. She was explaining to the servants of the Su family that she came with Nangong Bi, but Nangong Bi ran too fast, and they were left behind.

Hu Qiong has been almost two months old, and she looks like A Shu's son and looks more like a mother. She has a handsome fair face, and is staring at her dark eyes when she is hugged in her arms. She is really cute.

Su Jiu hugged her carefully, the soft ball in her arms softened her heart.

Nangong Bidao, "Su Jiu, you should hurry up and have a baby too. Although there are some troubles sometimes, it's still fun!"

The eldest lady was walking in, and she smiled after hearing Nangong Bi's words, "Is the child for you to play with?"

"Auntie!" Nangong Bi called out obediently.

"Okay!" The lady nodded with a smile.

"Mother, look!" Su Jiu hugged Hu Qiong to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady hugged the child in her arms and coaxed her gently, her eyes full of love, "But Mrs. Hu is right, Jiu'er, you really should have a child too!"

Su Jiu's face was a bit embarrassed, "I didn't say no!"

Just never got pregnant.

It's strange to say that although she left Shengjing for more than two months, when she was in Ji's Mansion, Ji Yuxian worked hard every day, but she never got pregnant.

Fortunately, she wasn't pregnant, otherwise she wouldn't have been so relaxed in the past two months!

Su Jiu ate breakfast and went out with Nangong Bi to visit Ashu's son at Zhao's house.

Zhao Shan was naturally very happy to see Su Jiu, but soon Su Jiu felt that she was redundant. Zhao Shan and Nangong Bi talked about their sons, and Su Jiu held a baby in one hand. Crying at this and that, crying at that and that.

Su Jiu's head was buzzing from the noise, and she really couldn't see what was so interesting about a milk baby.

Zhao Shan was probably bored at home, so two people who could talk came and refused to let Su Jiu and the others go. She stayed for lunch at noon, and reluctantly said goodbye until it was getting late.

Hu Dapao was not there, Nangong Bi lived in Nangong Mansion with her son, Su Jiu sent her home first, and then went back to Su's house alone.

At this time, Ji Yuxian had been waiting at Su's house for nearly two hours.

After waiting for a long time, the man was not impatient, and was sitting in Su Jiu's bedroom, reading the book she usually read.

After hearing the servant's report, Su Jiu pushed the door open and went in. The man was sitting on a low couch, his red robe was so bewitchingly illuminated by the setting sun. Mou Yingying smiled, "Ma'am, are you ready?"

Su Jiu approached slowly, propping up the low couch with both hands, leaning down, the streamer in her delicate eyebrows and eyes flickered, "Husband, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It's okay!" Ji Yuxian smiled softly.

"Go home!" Su Jiu said.

The man wrapped his hands around her waist and hugged her in his arms, and kissed her on the lips, "Go home!"

In the clear night of late autumn, the moonlight is as cool as water
The lights in the bedroom are dim, the fragrance is elegant, and the room is full of spring.

After taking a bath, the woman lay on the deep purple brocade quilt, with snowy skin and black hair, a clear face, and an exquisite figure, like a begonia blooming enchantingly after the rain.

The bed curtain was put down, Ji Yuxian hugged the soft body of the woman in his arms, and tried every means to please her.

The man's eyes were deep, watching the woman's snow-white body gradually stained with a thin pink of emotion, his heart was filled with indescribable satisfaction, his breathing became more and more intense, he couldn't wait, he still tried his best to Annai, waiting for her to be happy, then fell in love, Not suffer half a point.

There was a wind outside the window, bamboo shadows whirled and slapped the window lattice, and the breeze blew in along the window. The flickering candles shone on the shaking bed curtain, and the ostriches and birds flew together in the tent, lifelike.

Begonias rustled down the porch, and the autumn wind whimpered, whirling and fluttering the petals from the window, and drifted out of the courtyard.

……

After discussing with Qiao An, Su Jiu and Qiao An set the date of September [-] for their marriage with the Fang family.

There are still more than ten days, and it happens that Hu Dapao and Chang Huan can also come back in time.

After the two agree, is it feasible to send a matchmaker to Fang's house to discuss?
It has been almost two months since Fang Zhen and the Shi Lang's Mansion originally planned to get married, so the Fang family is naturally impatient.

However, Fang Mingtai sent a matchmaker to urge him several times to no avail, so he couldn't help secretly guessing that the Minister's Mansion might be ruining the marriage.

Early in the morning, Aunt Sun of the Fang family was blowing in Fang Mingtai's ear,

"Master, it seems that the marriage in the Minister's Mansion is not going to happen. We have to make plans for Zhen'er early, don't delay, it will be difficult to find a good husband's family!"

It is unreasonable to suddenly postpone the date of marriage. Anyone who encounters such a thing will think that the marriage is probably going to be bad.

Fang Mingtai took a rest today and was drinking tea after breakfast, when he heard this, he frowned and said,
"It's not necessarily that the servant wants to regret the marriage, maybe there is something wrong!"

"What's the matter? The master is also in the court. Have you heard what happened in the servant's mansion? It was said that there was a war and it was not suitable for marriage. Now that the rebels have been suppressed, the servant's mansion still does not send anyone to say that they are married. Don't you understand the matter?" Aunt Sun said in a strange voice while she glanced at her mouth.

"Then the old man will send someone to urge him again. If there is no confirmation yet, then let's make another plan!"

"According to my concubine, it's better to make plans early!" Aunt Sun snorted.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Fang Mingtai asked gravely.

"It's better to let Zhen'er marry into Zhang's family as we originally discussed. Although she is a concubine, our Yuan'er is the mistress, so we will not treat her badly. It's good for the two sisters to be together. There is a care!" Seeing Fang Mingtai let go, Aunt Sun hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.

Fang Mingtai was taken aback, "What, you want Zhen'er to marry Zhang Yun? Don't you know how he treats Yuan'er?"

Ever since Fang Yuan and Zhang Yun got married, Zhang Yun became more and more shameless. Fang Yuan insulted Fang Yuan at least, and beat her at worst. Fang Yuan came back crying to Aunt Sun every three days. of.

Aunt Sun said, "It's not our fault! At first we promised to marry Fang Zhen together, but later the master went back on his word and betrothed Zhen'er to the servant's mansion. Zhang Yun was angry at us for being a follower of power, so we did it." Sprinkle it on Yuan'er, as long as we remarry Zhen'er and the Zhang family calms down, they will treat Yuan'er well!"

Fang Mingtai's face turned pale with anger, "You, you are simply unreasonable!"

"I am a concubine, this is to point out the way for Zhen'er, otherwise it will become a joke in the entire Shengjing City when we are retired by the servant man's mansion. I am afraid that the master will want Zhen'er to marry Zhang Yun as a concubine. Don't!" Aunt Sun snorted coldly.

Fang Mingtai clenched his palms on the table, his face was ugly.

He still loves his sensible daughter in his heart. Could it be that his daughter is really going to be someone else's concubine?
It's still for that swinger Zhang Yun.

He would rather Fang Zhen marry into the servant's house, even if that servant Qiao is dying, Fang Zhen will be the mistress of the Qiao family in the future, and being a widow is better than being angry at the Zhang family!
"If you're a concubine, master, please think about it carefully!" Aunt Su said, twisting her waist and going out.

As soon as I left the flower hall, I saw a servant from my own yard coming to report, "Madam, you should go back to the house quickly, the second young lady is back and is crying!"

Aunt Sun's heart sank, and she walked quickly to her yard.

Fang Yuan came back like this, she must have been angry at Zhang's house again.

Even if she is married, don't let her worry!
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Fang Yuan lying on the bed, crying out of breath.

"Yuan'er, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Sun asked anxiously while sitting by the bed.

Fang Yuan got up, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face was full of tears, she threw herself into Aunt Sun's arms, and shouted, "Mother, my daughter can't live!"

"Don't cry yet, what's the matter?" Aunt Sun asked anxiously.

Fang Yuan cried and pulled away the sleeves on her arms, revealing the scars that seemed to be drawn by bamboo sticks, "Mother, look!"

Those scars were bruised and swollen, and looked shocking. Aunt Sun said in shock, "This is Zhang Yun's beating? I'll let your father find him for this bastard!"

"Don't go!" Fang Yuan pulled Aunt Sun and cried, "If Dad went, Zhang Yun was reprimanded by his parents, and he promised well at that time, so he turned around and didn't go home. It's useless!"

Aunt Su wiped her tears in distress, "My poor son, otherwise we'll just make up with the Zhang family!"

Fang Yuan stopped crying immediately, her teary eyes glistened, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing that she was beaten like this, Aunt Su couldn't bear Zhang Yun, so she sighed heavily, "Then why did he beat you?"

Fang Yuan grinned again and began to cry aggrievedly, "Last night he went out to drink flowers and wine, and he came back almost early in the morning. He was full of the powdery smell of a woman outside. I just said a few words to him, and he beat me. This morning, He said he wants to take a concubine back, if I dare not agree, he will beat me to death!"

As Fang Yuan spoke, she began to cry again.

Zhang Yun didn't say once or twice about taking a concubine. A few times ago, Fang Yuan came back to file a complaint, and Fang Mingtai went to Zhang's house, and the concubine matter was considered over.

The Zhang family had to take a concubine within half a year of their marriage, and the Zhang family was at a loss.

Because of this, Aunt Sun had the idea of ​​marrying Fang Zhen over.

Firstly, Zhang Yun liked Fang Zhen, so she would definitely agree. Secondly, she knew Fang Zhen's non-competitive nature, so it would be easy for her to fall into Fang Yuan's hands.

Seeing Fang Yuan mentioning this matter again at this time, Aunt Sun rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't you just follow him!"

"Mother, what did you say?" Fang Yuan asked in astonishment.

"A man always wants to take a concubine. You can manage it for a while, but you can't control it forever. Instead of letting him make trouble like this, it's better for you to take a concubine. It can not only show your generosity, but also win his favor. Why not?" Aunt Sun persuaded with the tone of someone who has been here.

Fang Yuan refused, "Now he doesn't care about me. After taking a concubine, how can the Zhang family have a place for their daughter?"

"Yuaner, don't panic!" Aunt Sun said with a sinister smile, "Mother means to marry Fang Zhen to Zhang Yun as a concubine, and then you can crush her to death with a little trick. What's the deal? Zhang Yun has taken a concubine, so he doesn't dare to mess around again for the time being!"

Aunt Sun's calculations are accurate!

Fang Yuan was even more surprised, "Fang Zhen? Didn't she betrothed to the Minister's Mansion as the wife?"

Aunt Su sneered, and said disdainfully, "The date of marriage has been postponed again and again. I'm afraid this marriage will be a mess. They must have heard some rumors that they don't want her anymore!"

Fang Yuan wiped her tears and asked doubtfully, "What if she refuses?"

Aunt Sun thought for a moment, "Mother, go and find out what's on her mind now!"

Fang Yuan hurriedly got out of bed, "Mother, wait for me, I'll go with you!"
