New widow

While talking, Song Zhen remembered something: "I remember that my mother could make very good tofu skin buns. The woman who helped to light the fire said that she had never eaten such good tofu skin buns. She also said that it was just a little trick. , where can I use it to make a living?”

Such a peaceful life is what Suqiao pursues. Living in this magnificent mansion, Suqiao looked outside: "When can we go to a small town like that, have a small courtyard, and live a free life? "

Song Zhen knew that it would be difficult to realize this idea. At this moment, they were the wives and young ladies of the Duke's Mansion, and there were always people around them, who were tightly tied to the Duke's Mansion.

After Mrs. Huang finished writing the post, she asked her mother-in-law to go to Wu Mansion to deliver the post. The mother-in-law took the post and did not go out. Instead, she looked at Madam Huang and smiled: "Sister Huang, let me ask you a question, how long can we stay in this Duke's Mansion?"

"In this case, you can ask?" Madam Huang naturally knew who asked the old lady to ask, but she still asked, and the old lady uttered an exclamation: "We can't compare with you, you, the boss has changed No one can live without you, and we are just people like Tiantou. If we leave this Duke's Mansion, there is no other place we can go."

"Since you think so, let me tell you, what the madam wants is a person who is sincere and honest." After hearing Madam Huang say this, the old lady immediately smiled: "Then I am a person who is sincere and honest."

Madam Huang sneered and asked the woman to send the post quickly.

The post was quickly sent to the Wu Mansion. Mrs. Wu was surprised when she received the post, but came to visit in person. Su Qiao and Song Zhen arrived at the second gate

After greeting her, Mrs. Wu took her daughter to the second door. When she saw Su Qiao, Mrs. Wu took two steps forward and said with a smile: "How come my sister is so free, why did you invite me here next time?"

"I invite you to come over because I have something to discuss." After Su Qiao said this, she asked Song Zhen and the Wu family's daughter to play in the garden, and she took Mrs. Wu to the hall.

The furnishings in the mourning hall have been removed and the former decorations have been restored. Mrs. Wu looked around the hall and sighed: "Some of the furnishings in this hall were used when my sister was there, and those paintings were all chosen by my sister herself. .”

"I said these paintings and calligraphy are very good. It turns out that Sister Wu decorated them herself." Su Qiao also knew that she had to flatter her first, and sure enough, Mrs. Wu had already laughed: "You sure have a clever tongue."

The two socialized for a few words, and Suqiao called for someone to come. Mrs. Huang had already given away the deeds to the three shops. Suqiao took the deeds and smiled at Mrs. Wu and said, "This is when Sister Wu got married in the past. The three shops in the dowry have been kept here for the past few years. I thought that Sister Wu had no children and my niece was about to leave the palace, so I simply sent these three shops back as a gift for my niece. .”

The dowry was prepared by Mrs. Wu herself for her sister-in-law. Why didn't she understand what was in it? Now that Su Qiao had handed over the deeds to the three shops, Mrs. Wu hurriedly waved her hand: "This can't be done. My mother-in-law personally ordered me to prepare my sister-in-law's dowry properly when she was here, and my mother-in-law personally told me to leave these three shops to my sister so that her children would not have to worry about food and clothing."

"Parents who love their children should have far-reaching plans." Su

After Qiao recited this sentence, Mrs. Wu was about to shed tears. She forced herself to hold it back and said to Su Qiao: "I know what you are thinking. What you are thinking about is that my sister has no children to grow up at this time. The Wu family How can your things be left here for a long time? Don’t worry, our Wu family will never ask about these things."

"This is also a little extra for my niece." Su Qiao pushed the deeds to Mrs. Wu and then said: "Besides, I also want to ask for something from the house."

"Although none of the nephews have grown up, they have already given birth to an heir and the niece. You don't need to tell us that we will definitely treat them as biological nephews." Mrs. Wu also thought Su Qiao was doing it for the sake of those two. A child is also committed there.

"These two children, your family will treat each other sincerely." Su Qiao said this before saying: "But today, I am not here to ask about these two children."

"Then why?" At this moment, Mrs. Wu was very confused. Suqiao raised her lips and smiled: "I think you also know that the Duke's mansion has actually been in decline."

This point did not need to be explained directly by Suqiao. Madam Wu understood it, so Madam Wu nodded: "Without the man who is the master of the family, it is inevitable that when the children grow up, inherit the title, and go out to work, the family will The momentum will rise again.”

"This child is only four months old. When he grows up, there will still be fifteen or six years to go." Su Qiao's words made Mrs. Wu frown: "Actually, you could have chosen a teenager in the beginning. child."

"My uncle and sister-in-law know that there are many people in this clan who are eyeing them." Su Qiao said directly.

When Mrs. Wu came out, she nodded: "When the master and I went out to serve as officials, we also heard about some things."

"That's why I chose such a child, just to keep him by my side so that he can be closer to me in the future." Mrs. Wu couldn't help but patted Su Qiao's hand: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Now that you are married, you have to do it no matter how hard it is." Suqiao looked at Mrs. Wu: "I gave these three shops to my niece to add makeup, but actually it was because I wanted to check the accounts of other shops."

This shop has changed its owner. The new owner will definitely check the accounts and even replace some people and use his own people to manage it.

Mrs. Wu thought of what she had heard these days, and suddenly understood, she nodded to Su Qiao: "So that's what you meant. This matter is not a big deal, so why do you have to talk about it in such roundabout ways for so long?"

"Let me tell you the truth." Su Qiao wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes and said to Mrs. Wu, "These days, I am walking on thin ice in this house."

Mrs. Wu couldn't help but hold Su Qiao's hand: "I know what you mean. It's difficult for orphans and widowed mothers. In this case, I will take over these three shops, and naturally a wave of people will be replaced."

As long as the business of these three shops is better than before, Suqiao can use these three shops as an excuse to check the accounts. Suqiao stood up quickly and saluted Mrs. Wu: "I can't repay Madam for her great kindness."

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Wu hurriedly pulled Su Qiao up: "Since you have become my sister, I will treat you as my own sister. My own sister is being bullied. Do I have to stand by and watch?" .”

"Thank you very much." Suqiao said

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I won't hide it from you either. My natal family cannot be relied on."
