New widow

Chunya sighed and Suqiao pinched her face: "You are still a child, why are you sighing?"

"When people grow up, they are inevitably different from when they were children." Chunya said seriously, Suqiao smiled and patted her: "You go in, I will sit alone in the yard."

"If the person is really nice, we won't say anything if you want to marry her." Seeing Chun Ya return to the house, Aunt Wu walked from the kitchen door to the stove and said to Sister-in-law Wu who was lighting the fire.

"Mother-in-law, do you dislike me?" Sister-in-law Wu asked back. Mother Wu raised her hands and said, "I don't think I dislike you anymore. It's just that the lady is right. You are still young, and the two children are getting older. It’s good for individuals to know what’s cold and what’s hot.”

The firelight danced on Sister-in-law Xiao Wu's face. Sister-in-law Xiao Wu said nothing. There is a person who knows both coldness and heat. What kind of person is this person? Also, can you be your own support?

Little Sister Song took a ladle of water from the vat and kneaded the noodles. It was common for servants of the British government to remarry after losing their husbands. Little Sister Song was also asked about her husband when she lost her husband, but Little Sister Song The true heart is like an ancient well, never capable of wavering.

Aunt Wu didn't get an answer from Sister-in-law Wu, so she just sighed. Chun Ya returned to the house, where Xia Yun was teaching Song Zhen how to draw. Seeing Chun Ya come back, Song Zhen quickly put down her pen and said to Chun Ya, "What did you hear?"

Chun Ya sighed like a grown-up and said nothing. Song Zhen pulled the handkerchief on one side to wipe her hands, and said dissatisfiedly: "These matchmakers want to make a match when they see a person alone. At this moment, I mean Sister-in-law Wu, if we wait a few days, maybe

They all have to be matchmakers for Aunt Kuang. "

"Meeting matchmakers for Aunt Kuang?" Xia Yun frowned slightly: "Aunt Kuang is only 21 this year. If there is someone who got married late, she is still a girl at home."

Although it is considered late for women in the world to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, there are also some women who, due to various reasons, have yet to get married after getting engaged. Not to mention others, there was a young lady in the previous generation of the Chen family who stayed married even before they got engaged. After her mother's death, her father was ill when her mother's death was just announced. When her father was a little better, she made the arrangements for her marriage, but her father died just after the ceremony. After her father died and her mother died, the family wanted to regret it. Fortunately, Mrs. Chen protected the cousin's sister-in-law and went to the family in person to make an agreement to get married after the father's death.

Before the father's funeral was over, the father-in-law over there was gone again. After the father's funeral over there, the young lady was already 28, and the uncle was already thirty. They were both older, so they got married quickly.

When Song Zhen heard what Xia Yun said, she sighed. Xia Yun looked at her: "Why are you sighing? Why don't you finish this painting quickly?"

"Sister is really capable. She can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting." Song Zhen immediately forgot her troubles and said with a smile. ."

"I have a sister and Aunt Kuang, so of course I don't have to worry about those things." Song Zhen's words made Xia Yun look at her and shake his head: "That's it, that's all, if you say a few more words, I'm afraid you'll have to come and talk to me again. behave in a spoiled manner."

Song Zhen still smiled. It's not that she doesn't have those worries, but she just doesn't take them to heart and just live her own life.

The arrival of this matchmaker seems to be a precursor. These days, there are many people in front of Suqiao's door.

Some people came to visit, and even the prefect’s wife posted a message. Su Qiao also knew that her identity could not be hidden. Fortunately, filial piety was the most persuasive word, and the messages posted by those people only said that they were coming. The visit had no intention of letting Suqiao go to the banquet. Therefore, Suqiao remained closed and did not let anyone come to visit.

Those who came to visit, seeing that Su Qiao was closed to the public, naturally gave gifts, and even some maids and women. Although this was a common occurrence, Su Qiao still had a headache. Song Zhen frowned when she saw it: "When my mother and I lived here, there weren't so many people coming here."

"It was different then." Xia Yun knew why it was different. At that time, to the outside world, she was the widow of a scholar. What did a scholar's widow mean in the eyes of these people? When the British government came to pick up Song Zhen and those people heard the news, Song Zhen had already finished her mother's funeral and left here. Of course, they had no place to find anyone to socialize with.

At this moment, Su Qiao came to live here, and they could always hear some rumors, but they still stayed still, wanting to see what was going on in the British government. When Mrs. Du wanted to deal with Su Coincidentally, she lost the power of housekeeper and was publicly reprimanded by Wang Shangshu for calling her wife. Naturally, everyone knew Su Qiao's identity, so even more people came to her looking for a relationship.

"I originally wanted to live a quiet life, but who knew that no matter where I went, I would never be quiet these days." Suqiao pressed her forehead with her hand and smiled bitterly.

"These people are really..." Song Zhen only said half a sentence,

He said to Su Qiao: "It's okay, Aunt Kuang, I can handle these things."

Those gifts were naturally returned by those who sent them. As for the posts, Song Zhen and Xia Yun wrote and returned them one by one.

"That's good. I just want to live a peaceful life." As soon as Suqiao finished speaking, Xia Yun shook his head: "You want to live a peaceful life, but I'm afraid it will be difficult." Suqiao also knows this. This peaceful life, How can it be so easy? At this moment, Little Sister Song walked in with a letter in her hand: "Madam, I have a letter from you."

"If it's still a relationship letter like that, there's no need to give it to my wife." Xia Yun's words made Sister Song smile: "It's not a relationship letter like that. It's from Uncle Wan's family."

uncle? Suqiao looked up in surprise. It had been more than a month since Wan Dequan returned. Suqiao thought it was time for Wan Dequan to write a letter to herself. Who knew that he hadn't written a letter yet? Now that he has written a letter, Then Suqiao needs to see more.

Seeing that Su Qiao wanted to read the letter, Xia Yun took Song Zhen and left. In the letter, Wan Dequan said that his injury was almost healed. After Wan Dequan returned this time, he discussed with Aunt Wan to clear his background. Although Aunt Wan feels sorry for the money, the money her family has saved over the years can still buy a village with hundreds of acres of land and a shop, so she can still live a good life in the future.

So Aunt Wan agreed. Wan Dequan originally thought that it would be easy for him to clear his background. Unexpectedly, when he reported it to the prefect, he was rejected by the prefect.

At the end of the letter, Wan Dequan said that after asking the servant next to the prefect, he learned that it was Lord Kuang who had written the letter to the prefect. Wan Dequan's words made him feel discouraged. It was obvious that

In vain, it was Master Kuang who prevented Wan Dequan from clearing his background.
